Establishment In Meltdown Mode: Impeachment, Coup, And Suicide?!

Posted by Lisa Haven | Dec 21, 2018 | Featured, USA

Not one, but two ‘events’ being orchestrated by the Trump administration are causing the leftist establishment to meltdown! For starters, the resignation by Secretary of Defense James Mattis has left many in the establishment speaking of impeachment, coups, and even suicide over fears that Mattis was the last ‘adult’ keeping President Trump in check. The other is that Trump is pulling US troops out of Syria and forging ahead with a withdrawal from Afghanistan. These two reports have literally rocked the establishment, the media, Democrats, and even some Republicans and it is sending them into full panic mode. All that and more below… For More Information See:

The Hi-Tech Traditionalist: Is America’s Military Loyal To Its Commander In Chief?

by Baruch Pletner,PhD,MBADecember 21, 2018

The American constitutional restoration movement known as MAGA is now entering its most crucial phase. Like all revolutionary and counter-revolutionary movements, it is time for it to find out the answer to the BIG QUESTION: is the American military with all its branches of service, all its chain of command, when all the chips are down, supportive of it or not. Yes, or no. Revolutions are highly non-linear; they start slowly and develop at their own pace, but then a certain event, political, military, economic, pushes them over the edge, to success, to failure, or to a civil war the outcome of which is anyone’s guess. The 1917 Bolshevik revolution in Russia started on March 13, 1881, when Tsar Alexander II “The Liberator”, was blown up by the Antifa-like Narodnaya Volya (People’s Will) party. Alexander, as his nickname suggests, was the most liberal of all his predecessors and successors. He freed the serfs as part of a major agrarian land reform and was well on his way to establishing in the Russian Empire a system of limited constitutional monarchy in the French style of his day. His was killed by domestic terrorists not because they feared he would fail to complete his reforms, but because they feared he would succeed. These Russian Antifa’s didn’t want a lawfully constituted rule by elected officials; they wanted a dictatorship by the “proletariat”, meaning by ruthless thugs like themselves. Thirty six years later, they got their wish. Their eventual victory, however, was never a done deal; it took a devastating defeat in the Russo – Japanese war of 1905 and a series of major blows in the first years of the First World War for Russia’s military to become sufficiently disillusioned with the Romanov rule and with Tsar Nicholas II specifically, to break their oath to the Tsar and side with the Bolshevik gang. The Hi-Tech Traditionalist: Judge Sullivan Was Right In America, the drive for constitutional restoration began with the Tea Party movement and culminated with the unlikely election of President Trump a decade or so later. Things move a bit faster in our hyper-connected age. Trump, a pragmatist used to cutting deals with both types of mafia: the one with .gov email addresses and the one with baseball bats in the trunk, was an unlikely revolutionary. His first instinct was to cut a deal with the establishment. He hired whomever they told him to for senior-level positions and advanced their agenda items first, postponing the implementation of many of his campaign promises. Early in the administration it appeared that the grand bargain that Trump worked so hard to strike had actually worked. Justice Gorsuch was rather easily confirmed, lower court judges too. The military got a budget increase and a few departments such as Veteran Affairs, Education, Housing, Interior, and EPA, were left alone to implement the corrective, back to baseline policies that Trump had promised. On the transformative issue of immigration, however, the deal fell apart. The establishment, all three parts of it, Democrats, Republicans, and the Civil Service was simply unwilling to give an inch; their commitment to open border migration, something entirely different from legally controlled immigration, proved to be absolute. Trump acquiesced to losing the House with nary a fight, he played nice with the ridiculous Mueller “investigation”, hoping that the Democrats, having taken over the House, having restored some of the “face” they had lost in 2016, having regained a seat at the table, would move an inch, a millimeter, towards the expressed wishes of sixty-two million American voters. It didn’t happen. We may never know if Trump had ever thought that this policy of his had a chance, but he sure as heck gave it a try. It failed. So now it is time for Plan B: a war of annihilation. Trump’s only remaining choice is to annihilate the American Establishment and in order to do so he needs what all warlords do: an army. But does he have one? That is the big unanswered question of the day. I believe there can be little doubt that the firing of John Kelly and James Mattis, both Marine Corps generals, was done after they gave a negative answer to a simple question Trump had asked them: “are you willing to execute my order to deploy the full might of the American military, using all necessary means, to secure the Mexican border against all intruders?” Kelly’s and Mattis’s refusal to carry out this order on the grounds of its purported illegality, left them no choice but to resign and left Trump with no choice but to fire them. Trump’s recall of the American military from the Middle East is the action of a Commander In Chief who believes his country to be under attack on the homeland itself and thus in no position to project its military might abroad in support of foreign policy or humanitarian objectives.  China Showing It’s Real Communist Evil With Threats Against Canada Trump will test to the fullest the unlimited powers given him by the Constitution to command the American military forces as their Commander In Chief. To do so, he will dismiss from service any officer, any cabinet member, any staffer who opposes his order to secure the Mexican border. Will he find any who are willing to carry out his orders, even in defiance of both Congress and the Judiciary, the two branches of government that for many decades had been unconstitutionally usurping the powers of the Executive? Will the command structure of the American military withstand the enormous pressures that it will face in the upcoming days and weeks and months? Nobody knows. One things is clear, however: if a properly elected Commander In Chief cannot order his military to secure the country’s borders against invasion, America as an independent political entity in which the people are sovereign via a system of carefully crafted checks and balances in a constitutionally established federal structure of governance is finished. If Trump wins, he will join the ranks of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, Kelly and Mattis will be remembered as the Benedict Arnold’s of the 21st Century and America will survive. If he loses, well, to quote Ann Coulter: “Adios, America!”

How Canada protects Sharia

Dec 21, 2018 11:09 am By Robert Spencer

All too often concerns about Sharia oppression of women, gays, and others are denounced as “bigotry” without any examination of the substantive issues involved. Here is an excellent review of Fired by the Canadian Government for Criticizing Islam, Jihad Watch writer Christine Douglass-Williams’ account of how she was…fired by the Canadian government for criticizing Islam. As jihadis and Sharia supremacists grow ever bolder in the West, it is an increasingly knee-jerk reaction on the part of many Leftists and conservatives to dismiss all opposition to these phenomena as “Islamophobia.” The dangers of this should be obvious to everyone, but they aren’t. As Sharia advances in the West with ever more people afraid to say a word about it, however, those dangers will become obvious to everyone. By then it will very likely be too late. Get Fired! Here. “How Canada Protects Sharia Law,” by Fergus Hodgson, Epoch Times, December 20, 2018: If you denounce Sharia law in a public fashion you will suffer. Outside of the arab world, this also holds true in Canada, where a member of the Canadian Race Relations Foundation board was fired over comments on Sharia law. Such intimidation elicits self-censorship and an incremental downward spiral for Canada’s proudly modern, liberal society.  Christine Douglass-Williams was a director of the Canadian Race Relations Foundation (CRRF) from 2012 to late 2017, and she has documented her story in a courageous new book: Fired by the Canadian Government for Criticizing Islam. Published in September by the Center for Security Policy—a neoconservative-leaning think tank in Washington—this 103-page story leaves no doubt about the swift enforcement of political correctness under the Liberal Party government. A mulatto migrant from Trinidad and Tobago and self-described “visible minority,” Williams is an accomplished journalist and expert on Islam, author of The Challenge of Modernizing Islam. As a widely read contributor to Jihad Watch and sought-after speaker, she became a victim of her own success. Her profile rose to include engagements throughout Canada and abroad, notably in Iceland alongside Robert Spencer, author of The Truth about Muhammad and a fellow of the David Horowitz Freedom Center. The Straw That Broke the Camel’s Back Her concerns about the nature of Sharia law, particularly its implications for women and migrant integration, were right out in the open and never kept a secret. However, as her perspective garnered traction, murmurings grew. At a May 2017 event in Reykjavik, titled “Everything You Wanted to Know about Islam but Were Afraid to Ask,” she offered a “personal warning to Icelanders.” She believed the Icelandic population was “being duped,” and she warned that “Westerners need to be street smart as citizens of a culture that idolizes multiculturalism.” To be fair, she didn’t mince words. Consider the following excerpt from her message to Icelanders: “Islamic supremacists will smile at you, invite you to their gatherings, make you feel loved and welcome, but they do it to deceive you and to overtake you, your land and your freedoms. … [Sharia] stipulates—among other abuses—death for apostasy, death for gays, a lower value to women, and the full covering of women.Whether her statements were accurate or not was never the topic of discussion among her peers in the federal government. Rather, a wave of cheap name-calling grew and eventually submerged her. You can imagine the pejoratives that sought to punish her, which they did. After progressive media outlets got their knickers in a twist over her comments in Iceland, she came under heightened scrutiny and received a warning call from CRRF Chairman Albert Lo. In Williams’s words, she “was being watched by certain bureaucrats in the Department of Heritage.” Sure enough, Williams received an invitation for a teleconference with Deputy Minister of Canadian Heritage Graham Flack. After declining and requesting all correspondence be in writing, she received a lengthy letter from Minister of Heritage Mélanie Joly. Joly pointed to the CRRF mission: “the elimination of racism and all forms of racial discrimination … promoting diversity and inclusion, and respect for democracy.” This letter somehow got to the Canadian Press, which only heightened the tension. There was a back and forth in the media, with plenty of prominent people coming to Williams’s aid. This support and a detailed letter of explanation from Williams, however, proved to no avail. On December 20, after a complaint to the federal government from the National Council of Canadian Muslims, she received the formal termination of her role with the CRRF. Canary in the Coal Mine The CRRF dismissal and its lead-up only form one third of “Fired,” which is appropriate given that the implications carry more weight than the one personal experience. The implications stem from the grounds used to justify the decision and the shariah sympathizers and advocates who have infiltrated Ottawa. The decision came in the wake of the notorious Motion 103, introduced by Member of Parliament Iqra Khalid and passed by the House of Commons 201-91 in March 2017. This infantile motion against “systemic racism and religious discrimination” alleged an “increasing public climate of hate and fear.” Supposedly hateful and paranoid Canadians voted in 20 percent foreign-born candidates to the Parliament. That includes more than 20 with dual citizenship. One is Khalid, a Pakistani citizen and the former president of York University’s Muslim Students Association. Animosity is also so common in Canada that Muslims fake attacks to garner high-profile sympathy and attention. M-103 condemned “Islamophobia” without defining the term and called for “a whole-of-government approach to reducing or eliminating” it. While purporting to target religious discrimination, M-103 failed to mention a single religion aside from Islam. The parliamentary secretary to Joy during Williams’s dismissal happened to be an M-103 advocate—Member of Parliament Arif Virani, a Muslim migrant from Uganda. The entire Canadian federal government is now, free speech be damned, responsible for a campaign to eliminate undefined Islamophobia. Prominent conservative journalist Ezra Levant knows what lawfare this can lead to, after he published a Muhammad cartoon and faced the Alberta Human Rights Commission in 2008. Although Levant eventually prevailed, he has since faced a litany of lawsuits from what he describes as the human-rights industry. M-103 will be another weapon against outspoken commentators like Levant and Mark Steyn, codifying that blasphemy against Islam will not be tolerated in Canada, in line with Sharia law. Islam Joins Victimology Team Williams is refreshingly frank about the problems of identity politics in Canada and the United States. She devotes the second half of the book to how victimology hustlers such as Black Lives Matter have join forces with “civilizational jihadists” and perpetuate an “us-versus-them narrative” for a “match made in hell.” Sharia adherents have seized the opportunity to portray themselves as victims of ethnic animosity, even though Islam is a religion and not a genetic lineage. Williams explains that “truthful discussions about the global jihad and barbaric cultural practices are being wrongly presented as though they were inciting hatred, ‘racist,’ and hateful.” These advocacy groups search for a villain to justify their existence and portray their constituents as helpless victims. Meanwhile, the supposed beneficiaries, in the words of Williams, “regrettably remain in shackles, the cycle of the bigotry of low expectations continues, and the oppressed remain stunted.” Her brutal honesty and references to “Islamic supremacism” will likely be too heavy for most readers, at least those accustomed to the sanitized narrative of legacy media outlets. Even though “Fired” is relatively concise and easy reading, interrupted by block quotes, it faces a tall order overcoming partisanship and confirmation bias…. Read the rest here.

BIOSLUDGE is a toilet-to-farm scheme that deposits toxic sewage sludge on food crops all across America

Friday, December 21, 2018 by: Lance D Johnson

(Natural News) There’s a reason why the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has implemented a Clean Water Act and a Clean Air Act, but NO Clean Soil Act. A Clean Soil Act would fundamentally change how wastewater is processed and recycled. It would require the EPA come clean about the toxic composition of fertilizers being spread on North American soils. A Clean Soil Act would halt the mass spread of toxic sewage on food crops all across America. It would expose environmental crimes within the EPA itself. A Clean Soil Act would require the truth to come out; that the recycling of bio-solids is a toilet-to-farm scheme that is poisoning America’s gardens and farmlands and forcing humans to eat from their own waste. The bio-solids that are processed and recycled at municipal wastewater treatment plants are sold to homes and farms across the country as “fertilizers.” These bio-solids are a chemical nightmare, consisting of a wide array of pharmaceuticals, agro-chemicals, industrial chemicals, household chemicals, pathogenic material, and heavy metals. This toxic biosludge should never come in contact with soils that grow food for human and animal consumption. (Related: The government is lying about the safety of biosludge.) Documentary exposes deep truths about EPA fraud and the chemical poisoning of soils and the food supply In the new documentary Biosludged, scientific experts and whistle blowers break down what is happening to North American soils and how this mass pollution scheme is making people chronically ill and mentally lobotomized. In this documentary, former EPA scientist and whistle blower Dr. David Lewis reveals the shocking extent of the EPA’s criminal activities and scientific fraud. The fertilizer that people add to their soils is inundating crops with disease-promoting pathogens and a slew of chemicals that wreck havoc on the physiological processes of the human body. The documentary also warns that the food supply is at grave risk of being used as a vector for terrorist activity. A terrorist can flush massive amounts of chemicals into the sewage system, only to have it all recycled as fertilizer for use on crop fields. Sewage sludge could also be laced with bio-weapons and microorganisms that cause food poisoning and infectious disease. All the human dung that is deposited on food crops ultimately releases chemicals into the groundwater, too. People across the U.S. are literally regurgitating the toxic composition of their own poop, using water and fertilizer that has been poisoned over and over again. These biosludge chemicals directly affect brain function, immune function, and fertility. All the cancer marches and pink ribbon fundraisers should start to look at what’s going on with the food supply, how toxic human waste is re-consumed, poisoning the population into cancerous states. Watch the full documentary at BrighteonFilms.com and download the full movie files that you can openly share with others. Stay up-to-date on the “greatest environmental crime you’ve never heard” at Biosludge.News.

Q&A: Where is biometric technology heading next? Special

By Tim Sandle Dec 13, 2018 in Technology

Facial recognition has its supporters and detractors. Is facial recognition as force for good in solving crimes or a violation of human rights? Are other types of biometrics better suited? Martin Zizi of NeuroPrint weighs in. Most conversations around the use of biometrics like facial recognition trigger questions about human rights and privacy. There are other important considerations, such as what happens when biometric data is compromised? Plus there is the misidentification problem? And also with understanding where is this biometric data stored and who has access? According to Dr. Martin Zizi of Aerendir there needs to be more conversation and focus around biometric technology that prohibits hacking events, the compromising of privacy and/or is something that is not originated from the outside (via face, fingerprints, and so on). Digital Journal caught up with Zizi to discuss his thoughts on biometrics in general. Digital Journal: How big is facial recognition set to become?  Dr. Martin Zizi: Facial recognition use is on the rise, and according to a forecast by MarketsandMarkets, it is expected to garner $41.8B by 2023. According to the summary, the government sector will be the key driver of the overall market’s growth (mainly immigration and travel applications), but consumer technology, financial services, healthcare, the automotive industry and beyond will also be affected by facial recognition incorporation. The latter portion of this – often referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT) – is where the industry needs to be careful, as it raises significant privacy and security concerns.  DJ: What are the main applications? Zizi: As of now, law enforcement is the main application. In fact, according to a 2016 report published by Georgetown University’s Center on Privacy and Technology, almost half of all U.S. adults are in facial recognition networks because they have licenses in states where police are permitted to search driver's license photos for face matches. DJ: What are the main privacy concerns? Zizi: We know that the government can use technology to keep tabs on its citizens. In March 2017, a House oversight committee hearing was told that over half of all adult Americans’ photographs are stored in facial recognition databases which can be accessed by the FBI. 80% of those photographs came from non-criminal sources like passports and driver’s licenses. Even more worrying was that the algorithms used to identify people are wrong 15% of the time, and are more likely to misidentify ethnic people, or females. This is where facial recognition found its place in Facebook’s arsenal of tools. By adding your face to their database, when a friend uploads a photo, Facebook can suggest tagging you with minimal effort. The feature was decried as a cynical means for Facebook to gather more data on their users — especially since you were auto-enrolled in the feature. The European Union even decided that Facebook’s facial recognition was an invasion of users’ privacy and blocked its expansion inside the EU. At the end of the day, privacy is about the user’s right to decide what is public and what is private. Choice is the key word. DJ: What other developments are there with biometrics? Zizi: Live biological signals are the next frontier. They are, by definition, impossible to spoof. Biometry operates in 3 different modalities. They can be a human feature like your fingerprint, iris or facial features. They can be behavioral like the way we walk and run, or the way we hold our phones. Behavioral is based on the repetitive way we behave, and such data can be used to build motion repertoires, or a collection of habits, which define us. Or they can be physiological, which is the data that comes from the live function of our bodies. Examples of the latter would be voice recognition, heart rhythms and brain activities. DJ: What happens in situations where biometric data is compromised? Zizi: When one’s biometrics are compromised, they are literally kicked out of the recognition system. If one’s face or voice has been compromised, it may be used to impersonate them all over the internet, so the only solution is to block this identifier – and as the person cannot get a new face/voice, etc., he/she is essentially out. This is the main reason why we cannot store biometrics in massive databases, it is too dangerous. DJ: Is biometric data at a particular risk from hacking?  Zizi: Most biometrics solutions – from facial to fingerprint – have a high risk of being hacked. Simple internet searches show that YouTube offers 340 tutorials on how to hack a fingerprint sensor.  For example, in 2017, a Financial Times reporter based in London asked his twin brother to call his bank (which uses voice recognition in some of their systems) and he was able able to successfully spoof the system. There are also more subtle ways of being compromised outside of any hacking activity. In the case of face ID for example, anyone can get into your phone simply by pointing it at you. For thieves, this feature will make the iPhone X more tempting to snatch since, if the phone is locked, they will have an easy way to open it before running off. Computer Graphic Imaging (CGI) also compromises facial recognition. Recently, adversarial neural networks have been programmed to annihilate the training of another neural network that was trained to recognize faces at 98% accuracy. By removing just 3-5 pixels from a 10 million pixels image, accuracy fell to zero. In a follow up interview, Zizi’s explains his NeuroPrintTM technology, which is a cloudless physiological biometric technology that measures micro-vibrational patterns in a user’s hands. See: “Q&A: Vibrational biometric system for identity recognition.”

2019: The Year Of Reckoning For Big Tech As State Legislation Proposes $75,000 Fine Per Censored Item For Platforms With 75 Million-Plus Users

By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine December 21, 2018

As Facebook goes into damage control mode after a New York Times investigation revealed that on top of all the data breaches and scandals that have plagued the company over the last year, they also allowed companies such as Netflix and Spotify access to users' private messages, we note reports that Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook lost $19 billion from their 2018 stock slide, as users rate Facebook as the company least trusted with their personal data. In September Pew reported that Facebook had suffered a marked decline in active users since March, with 42 percent limiting their daily activity and engagement as scandal continued to roil the company and stocks throughout 2018. The more recent Pew survey also found that 26 percent said that they deleted the Facebook app from their phones. All this suggests that a substantial minority or even a majority of Facebook users have to some degree disengaged from the platform in the past year. It’s not entirely clear from the survey discussion whether there’s any overlap between those “taking a break” and those who deleted the app. In addition, a majority (54 percent) also reported adjusting their privacy settings. In December another pattern emerged with journalists deciding to make public announcements about deleting Facebook entirely, with Capitol Hill Correspondent, Kasie Hunt, highlighting her reasons in an announcement posted to her Facebook account before deleting her account, explaining how she doesn't trust Facebook anymore and that she would not be staying on the platform in 2019. At the end of her announcement she stated "And here's hoping Facebook doesn't bury this post because it links to this negative story," showing that while the "trust" issues is first and foremost, even the establishment media knows, even as many deny it, that Facebook does practice censorship on a regular basis. Hunt took a screen shot of her Facebook post to her followers, then shared it on Twitter with two words tagged to @Facebook's Twitter account, saying "I'm out."

Hunt took a screen shot of her Facebook post to her followers, then shared it on Twitter with two words tagged to @Facebook's Twitter account, saying "I'm out." nt was not the only journalist announcing they were quitting Facebook either, as Jessica Valenti from Medium announced "Just deleted my FB account and it felt GREAT." Food and Travel writer Jacob Dean joined the exodus, stating "Deleted my @facebook account today. Feels good. A little scary too, which goes to show you how much emotional power the company has. Definitely the right decision though. #Facebook #DeleteFacebook." all Street Journal columnist Walt Mossberg took it a step further and announced he was not only quitting Facebook, but was also leaving Facebook-owned Instagram and Messenger, saying "my own values and the policies and actions of Facebook have diverged to the point where I’m no longer comfortable there." FACEBOOK IS NOT ALONE IN FACING THE UPCOMING TECH RECKONING Facebook is not the only Silicon Valley company facing a reckoning, as we see a new report at NewsBusters, where Google's YouTube "removed 58 million videos, 1.67 million channels, and 224 million comments," between July and September, for "violations including inappropriate content or spreading 'hate speech'." The problem with that is that YouTube partners with Southern Poverty Law Center, allowing them to determine what is and is not hate speech, while SPLC has a long history of labeling conservative and religious pro-life groups as "hate groups." Via NewsBusters: The Hill quoted an unnamed YouTube spokesman who confessed they removed “conspiracy theories targeted towards particular groups or people because those videos violate hate speech and harassment policies.” However, YouTube did not say who was responsible for flagging those videos or list the “conspiracy theories” that were removed. Many right-wing causes are treated by the left as conspiracy theories -- from disputing climate change to illegal immigration. Reuters reported that algorithms are being used to determine which videos should be taken down. It also noted that while Google (which owns YouTube) may have expanded to use more than 10,000 moderators “pre-screening every video [is] unfeasible.” MIT recently published a study about how algorithms are clearly biased based upon their creators’ worldviews, yet companies “show no interest in fixing the problem.” Human moderators turn out to be just as problematic, as proven on November 13th when a YouTube moderator mistook a famous World War 2 Era video mocking Nazis for pro-Nazi propaganda and took it down. Adam Green, The Public Domain Review’s editor in chief, found the situation farcical, shocked at how any moderator could have mistaken a clear satire for being pro-Nazi. As for Twitter, on December 20th, many Wikileaks staff and the main Wikileaks account, with over 5.4 million followers, were all locked and frozen, which was announced by Kristinn Hrafnsson, WikiLeaks editor-in-chief, who wasn't caught up in the lockouts, so she was able to inform followers. Twitter is also accused of shadow banning the Wikileaks accounts, via Caitlin Johnstone over at Medium: It is worth noting here that Dorsey has an established record of lying to Twitter users about the social media outlet’s censorship practices. In the lead-up to the 2016 election, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey was asked point-blank if Twitter was obstructing the #DNCLeaks from trending, a hashtag people were using to build awareness of the DNC emails which had just been published by WikiLeaks, and Dorsey flatly denied it. More than a year later, we learned from a prepared testimony before the Senate Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism by Twitter’s acting general counsel Sean J. Edgett that this was completely false and Twitter had indeed been doing exactly that to protect the interests of US political structures by sheltering the public from information allegedly gathered by Russian hackers.

And indeed, @wikileaks, @assangedefence, @wltaskforce, and @assangelegal are as of this writing so aggressively shadow banned that an advanced search for tweets by those accounts turns up not one single post by any of them. Twitter did eventually unfreeze the Wikileaks accounts, claiming "denial of service attack had been run against several WikiLeaks and Assange legal accounts to trigger looping security lockouts," but as highlighted before that update by Johnstone "Even if Twitter does end up restoring access to all or some of these accounts, the fact that the site would shut them down at all is deeply disturbing...." Agreed. REGULATE OR STRIP BIG TECH OF PROTECTIONS? We have seen two different arguments over how to rein in big techs data invasions and consership practices, abusing their platforms' powers, one side pushing for the regulation of companies by treating them as utilities and a modern day public square. There are persuasive arguments on both sides of the regulation proposals, both for and against. One of the arguments against regulation is that in a free market society, users should be the ones to "punish" big tech for their abuse of powers, their selling of private personal data they were trusted with, some argue. Government interference generally makes matters worse, not better. One of the arguments on the side of regulating big tech, comes from a Harvard report in September, which maintains that big tech companies seem to unable, and unwilling, to regulate themselves, to protect users data or to prevent their liberal bias from dictating what is censored and what is not. Related: Big Tech is in the crosshairs of regulation Many argue that as private companies they should be able to do whatever they want, despite the fact that courts have said that social media is a modern day public square where constitutional rights are applied. That argument is valid, except for the fact that these "private companies," are extended special protections under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Law. Those liability immunity protections are not extended to news outlets nor to other websites. Those protections are predicated on these big tech companies providing third party content, without editorial control, therefore they are not "publishers," they are simply a service that offers "a forum for a true diversity of political discourse, unique opportunities for cultural development, and myriad avenues for intellectual activity." Some argue that by applying their censorship in a biased manner, rather than with a set standard independent of political ideology, they are acting as publishers, therefore they should be held responsible for the content on their platforms because they are practicing editorial control. Representative Louie Gohmert has introduced a bill, H.R.7363, that would remove the liability protections from social media companies, and perhaps video platforms like YouTube. On December 20, 2018, Gohmert issues the following statement on his congressional website, under the headline "Gohmert Introduces Bill That Removes Liability Protections for Social Media Companies That Use Algorithms to Hide, Promote, or Filter User Content."

Social media companies like Facebook, Twitter, and Google are now among the largest and most powerful companies in the world. More and more people are turning to a social media platform for news than ever before, arguably making these companies more powerful than traditional media outlets. Yet, social media companies enjoy special legal protections under Section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934, protections not shared by other media. Instead of acting like the neutral platforms they claim to be in order obtain their immunity, these companies have turned Section 230 into a license to potentially defraud and defame with impunity.” “Representatives of social media companies have testified in Congressional hearings that they do not discriminate against or filter out conservative voices on their platforms. But for all their reassurances, the disturbing trend continues unabated. Employees from some of these companies have communicated their disgust for conservatives and discussed ways to use social media platforms and algorithms to silence and prevent income to conservatives.” “In one hearing, one of the internet social media executives indicated a desire to be treated like Fox News. Fox News does not have their immunity and this bill will fulfill that unwitting request. Since there still appears to be no sincere effort to stop this disconcerting behavior, it is time for social media companies to be liable for any biased and unethical impropriety of their employees as any other media company. If these companies want to continue to act like a biased medium and publish their own agendas to the detriment of others, they need to be held accountable.”

Call me cynical but Republicans have had control of the House of Representatives for the last two years and could have offered this type of proposed legislation much earlier, when there may have been a chance to get it passed, but to offer it now when the House is about to come under Democratic control, appears to be more of a "gesture," than legislation that has a chance of passing as is. The good news is that big tech has come under fire from both Republicans and Democrats, albeit for different reasons, but the ire coming from both sides of the political aisle against big tech, may be enough for them to find some type of compromise. They need to figure out something fast as the majority of the general public now backs calls for regulation, which could do more harm than good, depending on what that regulation entails. Interestingly, there does seem to be a third option. Rather than the federal government getting involved, or stripping big techs liability immunity on a federal level, a new proposal in Arkansas, called the "Stop Social Media Censorship Act," would allow civil legal action against social media giants that "delete or censor" content posted by users. The bill would be applied to social media sites with at least 75 million users, and allows a minimum civil damage fine of $75,000 for each post that's removed or censored through an algorithm or other means. Under the bill, social media sites are considered a public utility. Although the bill does seem to need some tweaking, as to where those operating the sites live and how it is applied, it is a third option which would negate federal interference, so it is something to keep our eyes on and to see if any other state moves towards the same type of legislation. BOTTOM LINE Silicon Valley has not had a good year and while Facebook has brought much of the extra scrutiny to the world of big tech, Google, YouTube and Twitter have also faced their share of criticisms during demand performances in front of Congress, where frankly they attempted to "justify" and deny their actions rather than offering options to fix the mistakes they have made, via their censorship practices. With both Republicans and Democrats, politicians and general users, frustrated and gunning for them for a variety of reasons, it looks like 2019 is going to be a year of reckoning for big tech. As well it should be. In the first video below, Douglas Murray discusses how liberals in big tech are starting to eat their own, and in the second video, we see that Arkansas is proposing legislation that would fine companies that have tens of millions of users, for every political or religious post they remove or censor.

Gohmert Introduces Bill to Remove Liability Protections For Biased Social Media Companies

Chris Menahan InformationLiberation Dec. 20, 2018

Texas congressman Louie Gohmert has introduced a bill to remove social media companies' "special legal protections" if they behave like biased publishers rather than neutral platforms. From Gohmert.house.gov, "Gohmert Introduces Bill That Removes Liability Protections for Social Media Companies That Use Algorithms to Hide, Promote, or Filter User Content": Rep. Louie Gohmert (TX-01) released the following statement regarding the introduction his bill, H.R.7363, that amends section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934: “Social media companies like Facebook, Twitter, and Google are now among the largest and most powerful companies in the world.

…Vaccine Found To Contain 65 Unknown-To-Science Compounds…

December 22, 2018 This article was posted by TLB Staff Analysis, HEALTH

By Catherine J. Frompovich

Vaccines are not what they are cracked up to be in more ways than one, most especially in scientific analyses and assays findings, according to a December 13, 2018 Italian research firm’s findings. Below are some rather astounding, plus frightening, data sets that must be taken seriously by all government health agencies, especially Inspectors General of the United States Health and Human Services, the CDC and FDA. In Infanrix Hexa we found chemical contamination from the manufacturing process or cross-contamination with other manufacturing lines; chemical toxins; bacterial peptide toxins; insoluble and indigestible macromolecule that reacts to the protein assay, but cannot be recognized by any protein databases. We have not found: Protein antigens of diphtheria toxoids, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B, haemophylus influenzae B, Poliomyelitis 1-2-3; Formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde, phenoxyethanol, antibiotic residues indicated in the composition; However, this is what really should have the medical community “up in arms” about vaccine pseudo-consensus science: In Infanrix Hexa there are six antigens Tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis toxoids, D antigens of Poliomyelitis 1-2-3, hepatitis B proteins obtained with genetic engineering and Haemophylus polysaccharides chemically linked to tetanus toxoid as carrier. Toxoids are created by treatments with formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde that should remove toxicity keeping intact their ability to stimulate protective antibodies against original toxins. We were expecting to find the three toxoids and the other antigens not modified by treatment with formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde, to separate the antigens from each other and to be digestible by the enzyme specific for proteins (trypsin). We have found instead a real polymer, insoluble and indigestible, that we supposed to be the set of antigens chemically bound together (has to be defined if this is present as an aggregate of the individual antigens or a single macromolecule), on which we can find in literature partial information regarding the single antigens. This macromolecule could not be recognized in any way by the protein databases, and in fact it turned out to be a solid compound of an unknown chemical structure. Proteins solubility and their digestion (i.e. the capacity to divide them into small peptide fragments) are two typical proteins characteristics that not only makes it possible to study them through some specific analysis methods but are also fundamental for the interaction with the immune system to create protective antibodies, because if the protein structure is heavily altered from the original one, the new antibodies result completely different from those that are able to attack the original antibodies causing illnesses.
Since this polymer we have encountered, derived from the antigenic mix, is not only different for its spatial conformation but it’s chemically different, so we can state that we are not facing antigens similar to the original ones but in the form of a compound with an unknown and unpredictable toxicity and efficacy. Source: https://drive.google.com/file/d/128CfYaaJdMwhx5yvCGDRggl5GIKyfWrC/view  

According to Corvelva’s pdf above, we find the following incriminating scientific evidence pertaining to their investigative and assays findings: Amino acids were found Lactose anhydrous was found Water was found NO formaldehyde was detected/found NO vitamins were detected A weak ‘signal’ for the antibiotic Neomycin was found NONE of the actives for the combination DTaP vaccineInfanrix Hexawere found, i.e., No Diphtheria toxoid, Tetanus toxoid, Pertussis toxin, the very diseases the vaccine was designed to prevent and/or build ‘antibodies’ against! Filamentous Haemagglutinin adhesion not detected Haemophilus Influenzae B polysaccharide not detected Pertactin (PRN) not detected

Polyribosylribitol Phosphate (PRP) not detected Polymyxin non relivabile [untraceable]

It should be noted that in Batch #1 tested, there were 65 UNKNOWN compounds with only 35 known compounds! However, if we juxtapose the above findings with what the CDC publishes on its PinkBookList of Excipients, we find this: DTaP (Infanrix) Fenton medium containing a bovine extract, modified Latham medium derived from bovine casein, formaldehyde, modified Stainer-Scholte liquid medium, glutaraldehyde, aluminum hydroxide, sodium chloride, polysorbate 80 (Tween 80)

Source: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/downloads/appendices/B/excipient-table-2.pdf  (June 2018, First page Vaccine Excipient & Media Summary Excipients Included in U.S. Vaccines, by Vaccine)

Taking the comparisons a step further, let’s see what GlaxoSmithKline, the vaccine’s manufacturer, states on its vaccine package insert under 11 Description: INFANRIX (Diphtheria and Tetanus Toxoids and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine Adsorbed) is a noninfectious, sterile vaccine for intramuscular administration. Each 0.5-mL dose is formulated to contain 25 Lf of diphtheria toxoid,10 Lf of tetanus toxoid,25 mcg of inactivated pertussistoxin (PT),25 mcg of filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA), and 8 mcg of pertactin (69 kiloDalton outer membrane protein). The diphtheria toxin is produced by growing Corynebacterium diphtheriae (C. diphtheriae) in Fenton medium containing a bovine extract. Tetanus toxin is produced by growing Clostridium tetani (C. tetani) in a modified Latham medium derived from bovine casein. The bovine materials used in these extracts are sourced from countries which the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has determined neither have nor present an undue risk for bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). Both toxins are detoxified with formaldehyde,concentrated by ultrafiltration, and purified by precipitation, dialysis, and sterile filtration The acellular pertussis antigens (PT, FHA, and pertactin) are isolated from Bordetella pertussis (B. pertussis) culture grown in modified Stainer-Scholte liquid medium. PT and FHA are isolated from the fermentation broth; pertactin is extracted from the cells by heat treatment and flocculation. The antigens are purified in successive chromatographic and precipitation steps. PT is detoxified using glutaraldehyde and formaldehyde. FHA and pertactin are treated with formaldehyde. Diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and pertussis antigens (PT, FHA, and pertactin) are individually adsorbed onto aluminum hydroxide. Diphtheria and tetanus toxoid potency is determined by measuring the amount of neutralizing antitoxin in previously immunized guinea pigs. The potency of the acellular pertussis components (PT, FHA, and pertactin) is determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) on sera from previously immunized mice. Each 0.5-mL dose contains aluminum hydroxide as adjuvant (not more than 0.625 mg aluminum by assay) and 4.5 mg of sodium chloride. Each dose also contains £100 mcg of residual formaldehyde and £100 mcg of polysorbate 80 (Tween 80). INFANRIX is available in vials and prefilled syringes. The tip caps of the prefilled syringes contain natural rubber latex; the plungers are not made with natural rubber latex. The vial stoppers are not made with natural rubber latex. INFANRIX is formulated without preservatives. Source: https://www.gsksource.com/pharma/content/dam/GlaxoSmithKline/US/en/Prescribing_Information/Infanrix/pdf/INFANRIX.PDF  Pp. 13-14

Children have been damaged and even died after the Infanrix Hexa vaccine, as confirmed in this report, which cites a further differing list of ‘ingredients’ from what was found by the Italian research group Corvelva. The above apparent differences in scientific information and findings confirm absolute needs for independent studies to be undertaken on all vaccines by a special investigative team appointed by the U.S. Congress as part of its oversight duties to evaluate the contents/ingredients—both known and unknown to science—that are present in vaccines given to day-old infants (Hepatitis B vaccine) and combination, multi-valent vaccines given at 2, 4 and 6 months when infants are most vulnerable to immune system damage, and those administered along the timeline of mandated vaccines for toddlers, teens, adults and senior citizens. There’s a serious vaccine science credibility factor that must be resolved NOW! Resource: Vaccinegate Infanrix Hexa

TRIPLETS all become autistic within hours of vaccination… see shocking video that has the vaccine industry doubling down on lies and disinfo

Sunday, December 23, 2018 by: Mike Adams

(Natural News) A VAXXED video that has been banned almost everywhere is going viral on Brighteon.com, the Youtube alternative video community for free speech on vaccines, GMOs, natural medicine and more. As the video shows below, healthy triplets all became autistic within hours of vaccination, once again demonstrating that vaccines cause autism. The parents, the McDowell family in Detroit, Michigan, have spoken out publicly against the horrific medical violence being committed against children every day across America through toxic vaccines. (See AutismTruthNews.com for more reporting on vaccines and autism.) The names of their three children, pictured above, are Richie, Robbie and Claire. All three children were vaccinated on the same day, and within hours, they all become severely autistic. In their own words: On June 25th, 2007, we brought them in for the [vaccine] shot… we went in at 10 am. All three. My daughter still has the mark on her leg from the shot… we did the boys as well. By noon, Claire shut completely off. It was as if she was blind, and deaf, and complete failure to thrive, from super super happy, smiley girl to… she had full blown eye contact, and she shut right down. All she did was stare at the ceiling. At 2:00 we watched Richie shut off. All his mama, dadda, and the furniture walking and everything just shut of. All the giggles, all the smiles, again failure to thrive. They lost all their reflexes… they stopped blinking, yawning, coughing, sneezing, they lost their startle reflex… that was 2:00

The worst was when we saw the final one shut down. We lost Robbie, he looked like he was hit by a bus. He had a stunned look on his face… he acted deaf, he lost his happiness. They were no longer engaged in anything or anyone. They lost their smiles. They never held hands again, never looked at each other again. (Crying) Vaccine injury is real. We were told is was genetic, then we were told there was no way three children were shut off on the same day… it was statistically impossible. We were told we could not sue anyone. No vaccine manufacturers could be sued. We found out [later] there was a vaccine injury court. They then told us we were too late, [we] only had three years to apply. See the full video on the only video community site that dares to publish vaccine truth videos without censorship, Brighteon.com: Share the link. Spread the word. Vaccines cause autism. The vaccine industry hires internet trolls to attack anyone who dares to tell the truth, even while vaccine pushers are medical monsters who are committed heinous crimes against children on a daily basis. The vaccine industry is a criminal operation. Millions of children are harmed each year by vaccines, and the science quacks and vaccine propagandists keep claiming no child has ever been harmed by a single vaccine, even as more and more parents are stepping forward with their horrifying, true stories of their children being maimed by vaccine shots.

TECHNIQUES TO DISCREDIT

June 26th, 2009

The Hidden Evil

Those who expose the financial elite typically receive character assassination from radio, TV, print media, official "experts," and "anti-hate" organizations. A combination of framings, murders, "accidents," and lawsuits may occur. "Educational" material is distributed to law enforcement to help them understand the "paranoid extremists" who believe that multinational corporations are installing a global dictatorship. Sutton and Wood warned, "Anyone in the U.S. who promotes unwelcome news for the elite receives some unwelcome attention in return." This attention includes the use of experts, mainstream media, and anti-hate organizations, for well-coordinated character assassination.(*) According to author Perloff, a document released by the House Committee on Un-American Activities, on September 23, 1956 entitled, Propaganda and the Alert Citizen outlined the tactics reportedly used by the Establishment to discredit opposition. Quoting from this document, Perloff wrote, "The tactic used had a prototype in a directive issued by the Communist Party... It read: When certain obstructionists become too irritating, label them, after suitable build-ups, as Fascist or Nazi or anti-Semitic, and use the prestige of anti-Fascist and tolerance organizations to discredit them. ... In the public mind constantly associate those who oppose us with those names which already have a bad smell." "Because the Establishment controls the media," wrote Allen, "anyone exposing the Insiders will be the recipient of a continuous fusillade of [criticism] ... from newspapers, magazines, TV and radio. In this manner one is threatened with the loss of 'social respectability' if he dares broach the idea that there is organization behind any of the problems currently wrecking America." "Smear tactics" from "left and right" are "standard operating procedure," explained Sutton and Wood. Even if you don't believe in the phony left/right political spectrum and have no political affiliation, you may be assigned one. Then the financial elite can use the opposite political party expressed in the mainstream news for character assassination. These labels, describe Sutton and Wood, "divert attention from responsible reasoned criticism with no attachment to a synthetic political spectrum." "If you assemble the evidence, carefully present your proofs, and try to expose these power seekers, the Establishment's mass media will accuse you of being a dangerous paranoid who is--dividing--our people," Allen said. In his book, With No Apologies, Senator Goldwater describes being on the receiving end of the Establishment's "professional scandalmongers." Apparently, because he was not controlled by the Establishment, the New York Times and New York Herald Tribune were used to discredit him during his campaigns. Perloff wrote, "Barry Goldwater was the Republican nominee and, as such, was the first GOP Presidential candidate in decades it [the CFR] had not controlled. Indeed, Goldwater represented nearly everything the Establishment was against. For that reason, the mass media was arrayed against him, and he was falsely characterized as a fanatic who would start a nuclear war and snatch social security checks from the elderly." Investigations into Crimes and Practices of the Financial Elite are Thwarted--Witnesses Discredited DeCamp explained that during his investigation of a child prostitution ring involving Satanism which lead to Washington D.C., that "Articles began to appear in the Omaha World-Herald, aimed to discredit the witnesses and intimidate any other potential child victim-witnesses from testifying." He cites some examples including the World-Herald's charge that it was a "hoax based on rumor." Editorial attacks ensued with titles such as, Grand Jury Did Its Job; The Insults Are Intolerable, and Schmit Panel Can't Duck its Responsibility in Hoax. The front page of the Omaha World-Herald on July 25, 1990 ran the headline, Grand Jury Says Abuse Stories Were a Carefully Crafted Hoax. And an article entitled, Former Legislator's Angry Memo Turns Sober Nebraska on its Ear, which appeared in the March 17, 1990 edition of the Kansas City Star, stated that the memo was, spawning swirls of gossip. The same article described that the accusations against these prominent people was like "insulting God." Compare these attacks to the criticism General Butler received by the mainstream news after exposing the plot by Wall Street to overthrow the U.S. Government, or the harassment the Reece Committee received when investigating the Tax-exempt Foundations. One of the most damaging dirty tricks used against DeCamp was an anonymous complaint from a concerned citizen, which was logged with the Department of Social Services, stating that he and his wife were abusing their daughter. This tactic was apparently used to stop his investigation and knock him out of the senate race. The cover-up of a similar event occurred in Minnesota, where prosecutor Kathleen Morris came under savage attack from the media when investigating a child sex ring that was apparently linked to the financial elite. After experiencing considerable pressure, Morris relinquished the investigation to Attorney General Hubert Humphrey Jr. Humphrey soon closed the case due to insufficient evidence. When the elite are linked to these types of crimes, evidence become missing, leads are not followed, people are discredited, jailed, disappear, or have accidents. These occasional leaks are part of a steady stream of corruption that only occasionally surfaces in the mainstream news. The discrediting and harassment tactics used during these cover-ups can happen anywhere the elite need to eliminate exposure to their activities. DeCamp calls it an "international organized crime syndicate, engaged in pedophilia, pornography, satanism, drugs, and money-laundering," which is "protected ... by federal authorities." William H. Kennedy describes an organized kidnapping ring in Belgium linked to the financial elite, in his book Satanic Crime: A Threat in the New Millennium. Using mainstream news, Kennedy explains that during these investigations, the police were consistently incompetent, made frequent mistakes, and failed to follow leads. These seemingly deliberate acts resulted in further deaths and kidnappings. The presiding judge, Jean-Marc Connerotte, secured the arrest of suspect Marc Dutroux. Dutroux escaped from prison once and was poised for a second escape before he was found with a handcuff key. According to Kennedy, Dutroux provided kidnapped girls to a Satanic cult which included members of the Bilderbergers. Judge Connerotte required a bulletproof vehicle and armed guards after learning that a contract had been taken out on his life. He was eventually dismissed from the bench. The removal of Connerotte, and the cover-up, triggered a peace march by 300,000 outraged Belgians who demanded reform of the political and judicial system. The Hidden Evil is Beyond a Congressional Investigation Similar tactics were used during the investigation of the Tax-exempt Foundations and their Think Tank interlocks during the Reece Committee hearings. Wormser described the violence of the attacks against the committee as "amazing." The Reece Committee itself observed that because the Tax-exempt Foundations and Think Tanks control the mainstream news and the government, that they were unable to conduct their investigation. The committee stated specifically, "The far-reaching power of the large foundations and of the interlock has so influenced the press, the radio, and even the government that it has become extremely difficult for objective criticism of foundation practices to get into news channels without having first been distorted, slanted, discredited, and at times ridiculed." In his book, How the World Really Works, Alan B. Jones considers the account of another Reece Committee insider, Norman Dodd, the Research Director. Dodd attests that death threats, harassment of witnesses, stalking, surveillance, blackmail, and framings were the real reasons the trials were discontinued. The Reece Committee declared, "The pressure against Congressional investigation has been almost incredible. As indicated by their arrogance in dealing with this Committee, the major foundations and their associated intermediary organizations have intrenched (sic) themselves behind a totality of power which presumes to place them beyond serious criticism and attack." Smoot commented, "As we have seen, two different committees of Congress--one Democrat-controlled and one Republican-controlled--have tried to investigate the ... tax-exempt foundations which are interlocked with, and controlled by, and provide the primary source of revenue for, the Council on Foreign Relations and its affiliates." Smoot continues, "Both committees were gutted with ridicule and vicious denunciation ... by internationalists in the Congress, by spokesmen for the executive branch of government, and by big respected publishing and broadcasting firms which are a part of the controlled propaganda network of the Council on Foreign Relations." So according to the results of a congressional investigation, the Tax-exempt Foundations and Think Tanks are beyond investigation. There was another attempt to investigate the Think Tanks by Congressman Larry McDonald. "In 1980, the American Legion national convention passed Resolution 773, which called for a congressional investigation of the Trilateral Commission and its predecessor, the Council on Foreign Relations," wrote author Marrs. "The following year," proclaimed Marrs "a similar resolution was approved by the veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW)." "Congressman Larry McDonald," continued Marrs, "introduced these resolutions in the House of Representatives but nothing came of it." Unfortunately Congressman McDonald, who opposed the Establishment, died in a curious incident involving a Russian missile which blew up Korean Airlines 007 on September 1, 1983. The bottom line is simply this: The Establishment will not allow the various organizations which it controls to stop the Hidden Evil. According to these researchers, some with first-hand experience, anyone who exposes the activities of the elite usually receives an assortment of character assassination from the mainstream media, anti-hate organizations, and official experts. Lawsuits may be filed. An IRS audit may occur. Other tactics are used, such as being threatened, framed, blackmailed, and murdered. Accidents which result in death or injury may be reverse engineered to appear as though they were not planned.(**) Many of these attacks are tactics within the Hidden Evil. According to the HUAC document, some people are allowed to gain enough momentum until they are in pubic view so they may be smeared by the mainstream media or other organizations under elite control. By this account, it is probably easier for the elite to ruin famous people, because they require no "suitable build-ups." Anyone who falls into disfavor with the elite can be ruined by these methods.

"The money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace and conspire against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than a monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, and more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes." -Abraham Lincoln The Dangers of a Congressional Investigation Congress, in general, is under the absolute control of this mafia. As previously demonstrated, this has been accomplished through years of infiltration, blackmail, intimidation and bribery. The elite, who own the United States, literally, will never allow an investigation into the Hidden Evil. They will never allow the system which they control to stop this. A congressional investigation may be done for the deliberate purpose of convincing the general population that it does not exist, and to publicly discredit those speaking about it by portraying them as a few paranoid conspiracy theorists. Any investigation into the Hidden Evil by congress or another organization under the control of the Establishment will result in a whitewash. These whitewashes by congress have unfolded repeatedly. Consider that in addition to the outside attacks, the Reece Committee was also killed from within. This included receiving "palpably inadequate" funding, a reduction in research staff, denial of evidence, and general stonewalling. "Mr. Reece understood, soon after our investigation started, if not before, that we would be met with every obstacle which could be put in our way," stated Wormser. Other congressional whitewashes include the Roberts Commission (Pearl Harbor cover-up), and the Kerry Subcommittee (Iran Contra Scandal, Federal Drug Trafficking). The Warren Commission (investigating the death of JFK) is said to have been heavily whitewashed, the 9/11 Commission was a whitewash, and the McCormack-Dickstein Commission was partly a whitewash.(***) Some of these commissions were led by members of the CFR.

The United Nations If the UN investigated the Hidden Evil it would be a maneuver to whitewash and discredit targets. According to some researchers, the United Nations is a creation of the CFR. The UN would like us to believe that they're an organization that acts as a non-partisan referee, which reluctantly intervenes in world conflicts for the betterment of all parties concerned. Apparently, the idea is that if enough chaos is caused and the UN is portrayed in a positive manner, then the masses will believe that a world government under the control of the UN is the only hope for world peace. In a chapter entitled, United Nations and World Government Propaganda, Smoot commented, "All American advocates of supra-national government, or world government, claim their principal motive is to achieve world peace. Yet," he says, "these are generally the same Americans whose eager interventionism helped push America into two world wars." "By 1945, the Rockefellers were ready," wrote Allen. "Grandson Nelson was one of the 74 CFR members at the founding meeting of the United Nations in San Francisco." Perloff added, "Of the American delegates at the founding UN conference in San Francisco, more than forty belonged to the CFR." On the left is a March 1947 picture, which shows John D. Rockefeller III presenting UN Secretary General Trygve Lie with an $8.5 million dollar check to purchase land for the UN headquarters. Below it is the founding UN conference on June 15, 1945 in San Francisco.(*1) "Nelson and his brothers donated the land for the United Nations complex along the East River in New York," wrote Allen, and added, "possibly because they did not want the new headquarters of their World Government to be more than a short taxi-ride away from their penthouses." Author Marrs portrays the UN as, "an outgrowth of the old League of Nations," which he describes as a failed attempt at, "world government." "A primary mover of this and subsequent actions to establish a United Nations was John Foster Dulles, who had helped found the Council on Foreign Relations," wrote Marrs. Marrs continued, "Considering Dulles and the other CFR members [are] behind the creation of the UN, it is no surprise to find that organization today supervising the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (commonly called the World Bank) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF)." Author Alan B. Jones sums up the UN as a front for the banking elites to be used as the core of a political structure for a world government, using the IMF as the world central bank. "In 1948, the State Department created the U.S. Committee for the UN ... as a semi-official organization to propagandize for the UN," conveyed Smoot. The CFR dominates this committee, he says. He also contends that the UN Charter, which the CFR would like to have the US Constitution replaced with, is essentially a charter for enslavement. "The 'world peace' aspects of the United Nations were emphasized to enlist support of the American public," wrote Smoot. However, he adds, "the UN Charter really creates a worldwide social, cultural, economic, educational, and political alliance--and commits each member nation to a program of total socialism." Project Megiddo Project Megiddo is described by the FBI as a, "strategic assessment of the potential for domestic terrorism in the United States..." The document was apparently circulated to law enforcement throughout the country in 1999 to help identify domestic terrorist activities spawned by the year 2000 craze. It basically says that anyone who holds, "political beliefs relating to the New World Order (NWO) conspiracy theory," is "paranoid." "The challenge to law enforcement," it states, "is to understand these extremist theories." And just what are these paranoid conspiracy theories that the FBI is "educating" law enforcement on? According to the FBI, "The NWO conspiracy theory holds that the United Nations (UN) will lead a military coup against the nations of the world to form a socialist or One World Government." The FBI lists other groups that a paranoid conspiracy theorist might say are part of this socialist overthrow as: the Council on Foreign Relations, the Bilderbergers and the Trilateral Commission. They add, "Law enforcement officials will probably notice different versions of this theory, depending upon the source." They continue, "Law enforcement officers, as well as military personnel, should be aware that the nation's armed forces have been the subject of a great deal of rumor and paranoia circulating among many militia groups." They describe these militias as "Patriots," and "right-wing" groups who, "believe they are being persecuted by the satanic government of the United States." It looks like the CFR-controlled FBI laid the groundwork to portray anyone telling the truth as a dangerous paranoid. Megiddo is clearly CFR Damage Control. It seems to be an employment of the tactics contained in the HUAC document that Perloff warned about. Remember? "In the public mind constantly associate those who oppose us with those names which already have a bad smell." Continuing, they stated, "Use of this term [New World Order] within militia circles became more common after President Bush starting using it to refer to ... using international organizations to assist in governing international relations," and added, "The term One World Government is also used as a synonym for the New World Order." According to a document written by Dennis L. Cuddy, PhD, entitled, Chronological History of the New World Order, the term has been used since the mid 30s by a variety of people including multiple members of the CFR such as Nelson Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, and Richard Nixon. It has been mentioned in CFR's publication Foreign Affairs. H. G. Wells spoke of it, as did Mikhail Gorbachev. It has been used by George H. W. Bush on multiple occasions. "The term 'New World Order,'" says Cuddy, "has been used thousands of times ... by proponents in high places of federalized world government." In the last several years it has been used by leaders of a variety of nations who are obviously under the control of the financial elite. So according to Project Megiddo, the New World Order does exist and is beneficial. However, when we consider the publications of the "international organizations" that are assisting with "governing international relations" that Bush has been a member of, such as the CFR, the TC, and the Bilderbergers, it becomes clear that their intentions are to reduce civil liberties and merge America into a single world government controlled by them. It's obvious to me that Megiddo is disinformation, used for the purpose of discrediting anyone who is attempting to warn law enforcement about the fate of America. Speaking of Project Megiddo's predecessor, Former FBI Senior Special Agent Ted L. Gunderson wrote, "In 1996 the FBI Phoenix Division issued a pamphlet to local and state law enforcement agencies that set forth the profile of various terrorists in the United States. ... This profile includes: Defenders of the U.S. constitution against the federal government and the UN (Super Patriots) [and] ... anyone who makes references to the United States Constitution..." He warns, "An active Federal Government Disinformation Program ... was instituted for the purpose of discrediting ... [people] who report the truth about the government." Apparently, according to Gunderson, federal agencies release these documents as disinformation for the sole purpose of discrediting people who begin to wake up and tell the truth. I wonder--if we know that these two documents exist, then is it possible that more damaging information has been given to law enforcement to discredit the truth movement? "Distrust of the government by not thousands but tens of millions of U.S. citizens is confirmed in public opinion surveys," stated Dr. Alexander in his book, Future War. "Many of these conspiracy theory adherents believe that the government--or some other supranational organization--is attempting to take freedom away from citizens." As expected, he lists these supranational organizations as, the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderbergers, and the Council on Foreign Relations, and The Order of Free and Accepted Masons. He continues, "Some of them see non-lethal weapons as tools to facilitate those objectives. They believe that these weapons potentially could be used to enslave them..." "Such systems," he says, "are usually rumored to be designed and controlled by some unspecified 'They' who are the ultimate powerbrokers." Evidence has already been provided which undeniably proves that the Trilateral Commission, and the Council on Foreign Relations have infiltrated the executive branch. I wonder how many of those tens of millions of conspiracy theorists are targeted but don't know it. False Memory Syndrome Foundation According to some researchers, one example of an organization that was launched for the sole purpose of discrediting people is the False Memory Syndrome Foundation (FMSF). In his book, Mass Control: Engineering Human Consciousness, author Jim Keith refers to the FMSF as a "pseudo-scholarly" front organization, consisting of "a group of psychiatrists whose mission is to prove that cult abuse and mind control are figments of the imagination." According to Keith, many of the psychiatrists on the FMSF board have been linked to mind-control experiments and the military. They are called in to court cases to discredit ritual abuse survivors. Author Constantine's analysis is similar, he proclaims that the FMSF consists of a panel of experts which are used to discredit therapists and victims that come forward with cases of Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA) and experimentation. Professor Jennifer J. Freyd explains in her book, Betrayal Trauma, how the FMSF, her colleagues, and the mainstream media attempted to discredit her research into repressed memories. Her mother, Pamela Freyd, a founding member of the FMSF, also participated in the attacks against her credibility. In their book, Trance Formation of American, Cathy O'Brien and Mark Phillips arrive at the same conclusion. These and other authors contend that the CIA found it necessary to create this professional organization in order to discredit abuse claims. Mainstream News is Used to Discredit Targets Anytime mainstream media addresses an issue like this there is a very real danger of it being an attack. This was clearly the case with The Washington Post's January 14, 2007 article, entitled, Mind Games, or more appropriately, it should have been called, Word Games. Catherine Graham, the owner of The Washington Post, is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, and the Bilderbergers. The Post and most other mainstream news are controlled by the very elite Think Tanks that I'm alleging are responsible for this covert war against the civilian population. While I can't say for sure how this story was arranged, my guess is that representatives from the Post approached some TIs and portrayed themselves to be genuinely interested in covering the issue. Naturally, TIs anxious to get the word out, cooperated. But what resulted was a standard discrediting article. Although it did explain that thousands of people in the NATO countries claim to be targeted, it basically described them as delusional. Some common tactics to discredit are to portray facts as beliefs, to ignore evidence, and portray people as a haters or paranoids. This article has done all three. They realize that most of their readers won't research this story for themselves. Also, no websites devoted to this phenomenon were listed so their readers could follow-up. "The idea of a group of people convinced they are targeted by weapons that can invade their minds has become a cultural joke," they wrote. Referring to targeted people they stated, "In their esoteric lexicon, 'gang stalking' refers to the belief that they are being followed and harassed: by neighbors, strangers or colleagues who are agents for the government." Notice how they used the word, "belief." The article continued, "Gloria Naylor, a renowned African American writer, seems to defy many of the stereotypes of someone who believes in mind control." Once again, playing games with words. In this case implying that mind-control is just a belief and that projects such as MKULTRA did not take place. This is not a belief, it's a fact. Later in the article they acknowledged MKULTRA but portrayed it as simply an, "infamous CIA program that involved, in part, slipping LSD to unsuspecting victims." No mention was made of the other "parts," such as the children who were sexually abused, or of the other people who were brutally tortured and had their lives destroyed. This filtering out of information is basically, lying. They described one TI, probably an informant, who "criticizes what he calls the 'wacky claims' of TIs who blame various government agencies or groups of people without any proof." Of course this torturous program has not been proven in a court of law. And for reasons previously mentioned--it never will be. But there is plenty of evidence that it exists. The article went on to describe the TI mentioned above (a doctor), who was "hoping to prove that V2K, the technology to send voices into people's heads, is real." Once again, playing games with words. As previously demonstrated, mainstream publications announced that V2K was possible in the 70s. Once more, turning a fact into an opinion or belief. They are fully aware that most people either don't have the time or the inclination to do the research. Of course no hit story would be complete without the Establishment's use of official "experts" who assist them in damaging potential witnesses. Regarding MKULTRA, the article quoted from their interview with Dr. John B. Alexander, one of the alleged creators of this program. They wrote, Alexander acknowledged that "there were some abuses that took place," but added that, on the whole, "I would argue we threw the baby out with the bath water." More games with words. First, dismissing MKULTRA as just "some abuses," leads those who have not studied it (most of their readers) to conclude that there were a few slip-ups in an otherwise beneficial program. Second, implying that it stopped. Funny, Dr. Alexander must know that it continues in its advance form. As I've demonstrated, he and his colleagues helped create these weapons on behalf of their CFR handlers, for the "New World Order" which they've trumpeted in their articles. The Post continues citing more "experts." "Ralph Hoffman, a professor of psychiatry at Yale who has studied auditory hallucinations, regularly sees people who believe the voices are a part of government harassment," they said. "Not all people who hear voices are schizophrenic, he says, noting that people can hear voices episodically in highly emotional states. ... People who think the voices are caused by some external force are rarely dissuaded from their delusional belief, he says." Quoting Professor Hoffman, they wrote, "These are highly emotional and gripping experiences that are so compelling for them that ordinary reality seems bland." There are several assumptions that most readers of this statement will come away with. First, that V2K doesn't exist. Second, that all people complaining that an available technology is being used to harass them are definitely delusional. Third, that the government has not targeted the civilian population with advanced technology in the past. Continuing their assault, they stated, "Scott Temple, a professor of psychiatry at Penn State University who has been involved in two recent studies of auditory hallucinations, notes that those who suffer such hallucinations frequently lack insight into their illness. Even among those who do understand they are sick, 'that awareness comes and goes... People feel overwhelmed, and the delusional interpretations return.'" So, Professor Temple studied auditory hallucinations, but did he study a technology that can cause them? The article doesn't say. Once more, the implication is that it doesn't exist and that all of those complaining about it are delusional. Remember, doctors are highly complicit in the cover-up of this program. In addition, as previously demonstrated, the elite-owned Tax-exempt Complex provides the grants to these professors to do research projects with pre-determined outcomes. In other words, when the Establishment wants an official "expert" to prove a point, they'll provide them with grants to carry out a project which they have created. These college professors are often owned by the Establishment. "The very 'realness' of the voices is the issue-how do you disbelieve something you perceive as real? That's precisely what Hoffman, the Yale psychiatrist, points out: So lucid are the voices that the sufferers--regardless of their educational level or self-awareness--are unable to see them as anything but real. 'One thing I can assure you' Hoffman says, 'is that for them, it feels real.'" The people at the Post accomplished their obvious goal. My guess is that this story ran because information was beginning to leak out to the public. Summary Those who expose the financial elite typically receive character assassination from radio, TV, print media, official "experts," and "anti-hate" organizations. A combination of framings, murders, "accidents," and lawsuits may occur. "Educational" material is distributed to law enforcement to help them understand the "paranoid extremists" who believe that multinational corporations are installing a global dictatorship. [Footnotes]

* DeCamp stated that the elite used the mainstream news, the Anti Defamation League (ADL), and the Cult Awareness Network (CAN) to discredit him and other witnesses. The Establishment also used the mainstream news and the ADL to discredit the Reece Committee. For examples of this see Foundations: Their Power and Influence, by Rene Wormser. Also see The Invisible Government by Dan Smoot who describes how the Establishment labeled people anti-semitic and racists who investigated the Tax-exempt Foundations under the Cox Committee. ** DeCamp spoke of learning about an impending lawsuit against him which was to be used to destroy him in public view. There were 15 suspicious deaths of potential witnesses surrounding the Franklin case. One included chief investigator Gary Cordori who conveyed to DeCamp that he had evidence that would "blow the story wide open." Senator Loran Schmit who participated in the investigation received death threats and attempts to ruin him financially. DeCamp also stated that during the investigation multiple witnesses received IRS audits. Sutton and Wood contend that IRS audits are often used to intimidate critics of the Establishment. During Cointelpro the IRS was used for harassment, as described in the book, War At Home, by attorney Brian Glick. See also The Autobiography of Martin Luther King Jr. for how he was arrested for falsifying his tax returns in retaliation for his nonviolent direct action to affect social change. *** For the Iran Contra whitewash see the book, Powderburns by Celerino Castillo (former DEA) and Dave Harmon.

Federal Reserve Raises Rates to Raze Housing & Stocks to the Ground

Foreign owned Fed raises rates to kill Trump recovery

The David Knight Show - December 20, 2018

It’s either gross incompetence, or malicious destruction to raise rates when the stock market & housing markets are showing signs of a crash beginning. Why do the globalists support growth rates of nearly 10% a year for China but warn the US will burn down if growth is above 3%?

World War 3: Russia moves missile warship into Azov Sea ready for showdown

A RUSSIAN missile frigate is moving in the direction of the Azov Sea from Crimea amid World War 3 tensions between Moscow and Ukraine.

By Rebecca Perring

PUBLISHED: 00:05, Sat, Dec 22, 2018 | UPDATED: 00:06, Sat, Dec 22, 2018

Russian forces detained 23 Ukrainian seamen, injuring at least six, after Moscow accused Kiev of “illegally” manoeuvring through the Kerch Strait. With relations still raw after Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea from Ukraine and its backing for a pro-Moscow insurgency in eastern Ukraine, the crisis has risked pushing the two countries into open conflict. Ukraine is not a NATO member though it aspires to membership. The European Union, Britain, France, Poland, Denmark, and Canada all condemned what they called Russian aggression. The frigate sighting comes after Russia insisted it is not increasing its military presence in the Sea of ​​Azov. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said forces are guarding the Crimean Bridge. She said: “Russia is not increasing its military presence in the Sea of Azov, there are no Russian naval bases there, the forces that are there are used to guard the Crimean Bridge. "I will remind you that from the very beginning of statements about this infrastructure facility's construction plans, we have heard direct calls by Ukrainian officials - politicians and security officials, who obey the Kiev regime - to destroy it. "These forces are also used to ensure the safety of navigation."

Greece warns Turkey: “If they make the slightest move, we will crush them”

Voice of Europe ^ | 12/21/18

Posted on 12/21/2018, 6:52:55 PM by DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis

Stern warnings from Greece to Turkey. Stern words in return, as well. Defence Minister Panos Kammenos warned that Ankara would pay for violating Greek airspace by Turkish jets over the Aegean. The minister said whilst visiting a military outpost on the Aegean island of Leros, “If they make the slightest move, we will crush them,” adding that Athens wants peace and harmony but it won’t “concede a single centimetre” of its land. His words seem aligned with Admiral Evangelos Apostolakis, chief of the Hellenic General Staff, who said: “If the Turks land on a rocky islet, we will raze it to the ground. That is a red line that is espoused by the government,” suggesting a military confrontation with Turkey is a possibility, but adds “along with the US and the European Union, we want to ensure that the Turks do not reach that point.” Turkey’s Gen. Hulusi Akar, chief of its General Staff fired back that they will not allow “any fait accompli in the Aegean and the Mediterranean”. Turkey will not back down “from the rights of our country and our people,” he added. There have been clashes the past few years between the two NATO allies countries’ warships, as well as mid-air encounters of Turkish and Greek jets, with this current scuffle over a pair of Turkish F-16s making a fly over on Thursday of the island Kastelorizo in the eastern Aegean. Only minutes before a helicopter with Greek Defence Minister Panos Kammenos travelled the area on the way to Athens. The dispute between Greece and Turkey continues over the Aegean as dozens of small islets in the sea make determination of the boundaries of the maritime border especially difficult. Despite efforts to come to agreement, the two countries have so far had no success.

2018 set to be 4th hottest on record as November is officially the 5th hottest on record according to NOAA: 2019 could be hottest ever Met Office

Friday, 21 December 2018

NOAA's monthly global weather report has been released this week with the term "mini-ice-age" conspicuous by its lack of mention.  According to NOAA, November 2018 was fifth hottest on record for the globe continuing their stance on global warming NASA, on the other hand, are claiming temperatures for the whole globe could be about to plummet as our sun is entering one of the deepest Solar Minima of the Space Age.  Sunspots have been absent for most of 2018 and Earth’s upper atmosphere is responding, says Dr Phillips, editor of spaceweather.com. Meanwhile this week, the British Met Office has gone one further claiming next year, 2019 could be the warmest on record. The Met Office global temperature forecast suggests that 2019 will be close to record warmth due to climate change and the added effect of El Niño-related warming in the Pacific. Another report released by The Daily Mail claimed Ocean circulation in North Atlantic is at its weakest for 1,500 years - and at levels that previously triggered a mini Ice Age, researchers warn the currents will have a 'profound effect' on both the North American and European climate. The research, co-led by Drs. Christelle Not and Benoit Thibodeau from the Department of Earth Sciences and the Swire Institute of Marine Science, The University of Hong Kong, is interpreted to be a direct consequence of global warming and associated melt of the Greenland Ice-Sheet. So what is it to be? The debate will start again...Below is NOAA's new report. Though not quite as warm as October, November 2018 ranked as the fifth hottest November on record, with the year to date coming in as fourth hottest for planet Earth, according to scientists with NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information. Highlights from NOAA’s latest monthly global climate report follow...  Climate by the numbers November 2018 The average global temperature in November 2018 was 1.35 degrees F above the 20th-century average of 55.2 degrees. This was the fifth-highest temperature for November (tying with 2004 and 2016) in the 139-year record (1880–2018). November was also the 42nd consecutive November and 407th consecutive month with global temperatures above average. The year to date | January through November The January-through-November period (YTD) average global temperature was 1.39 degrees F above the average of 57.2 degrees. This is the fourth highest YTD on record. Europe had its hottest YTD since continental records began in 1910, posting a continental temperature of 3.24 degrees F above average. More noteworthy facts and stats A three-month heat spike: The period from September through November was the second warmest on record for the globe, with a temperature of 1.44 degrees F above average. Each continent, except North America, hit a temperature that ranked among the eight warmest on record for the three-month period. Polar sea-ice coverage remains smaller than average: Average Arctic sea ice coverage (extent) in November was 8.4 per cent below the 1981–2010 average, the ninth smallest for November on record. However, Arctic sea ice extent increased faster than average for polar regions in the Northern Hemisphere. The Antarctic sea ice extent was 5.6 per cent below average, the second smallest for November on record.

Pope likens migrants to Jesus as Vatican top dog says hunted Christian Asia Bibi is “internal matter” of Pakistan

Dec 20, 2018 1:45 pm By Robert Spencer

Does this pious hypocrite not consider the possibility that Asia Bibi, the Christian woman who spent eight years on death row for “blasphemy” in Pakistan and is now in hiding there as Muslims who want to murder hunt for her from house to house, feels the pain of not being welcomed into the Vatican? “Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14)

Pope Francis@Pontifex Jesus knows well the pain of not being welcomed. May our hearts not be closed as were the houses in Bethlehem. #Internationalmigrantsday 36.2K 5:30 AM - Dec 18, 2018

“‘Asia Bibi was released,'” translated from “‘Asia Bibi è stata scarcerata,'” by Angelo Scarano, Il Giornale, November 7, 2018: Asia Bibi, the Pakistani woman acquitted last week by the Supreme Court on blasphemy charges, for which she was sentenced to death, has left the prison….The woman’s husband has asked for help from Italy and the request to grant her political asylum is being considered…. “It’s an internal matter of Pakistan, I hope it can be resolved in the best way … I do not know how it will end, there have been many reactions … The question is not simple, it is very complex and delicate. Always we hope that it ends in the best way,” said Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Vatican Secretary of State.

Category: World News Friday, 21 December 2018 15:26

This morning, the President of Ukraine gleefully announced "The liberation of Donbass is imminent." He was referring to the Ukrainian government in Kiev preparing to launch an all-out military offensive to regain control over the breakaway province which now calls itself the "Donestsk People's Republic (DPR)." The DPR broke away from Kiev after the US and Europe fomented the violent overthrow of Ukraine's President, Victor Yanukovich, and installed a puppet government beholden to Europe. Almost 100% of the population in Donetsk and Luhansk are Russian speaking with families tracing their heritage to Russia for generations. Russia has made clear that if Kiev launches an attack upon Donetsk, or it's neighbor to the north, Luhansk, Russia will intervene. It now appears Kiev is going to do exactly that. "The territories of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions that are not under the Ukrainian’ control will soon be returned to Ukrainian jurisdiction" stated Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko during a meeting with students. “I thank those who have come and who continue to be engaged in science and education even when their homes are occupied by the aggressor country. Yes, they are now doing this in Vinnytsia, Lviv and Kharkiv where we moved the educational institutions. They are the anchor that holds the Ukrainian Donbas and ensures the return of Ukraine and Ukraine’s sovereignty after liberation, which will happen very soon,” he said. Poroshenko spoke about agreements with EU countries to help the restoration and development of infrastructure of the Donbas. Such programs, the President believes, are a symbol of unity between Ukrainians and other Europeans. The unity about which Porochenko speaks is an illusion. The citizenry of Donetsk and Luhansk want nothing to do with Kiev. In fact, they are actively engaged in militia-style combat against the forces controlled by Kiev. It is clear from all reasonable observation that Donetsk and Luhansk are getting military assistance from Russia. But without the population of those areas favoring Russia, the military assistance would be useless. So the Unity about which Porochenko speaks is apparently a creation of his own imagination - or mere propaganda. SERIOUS DEVELOPMENTS There are now very serious developments militarily in the area, and ALL of these developments point to the outbreak of actual war, very soon. Some say December 24/25 Earlier this week, the British warship "HMS Echo" arrived at the Ukrainian port of Odessa. This is a hydrographic vessel whose primary function is undersea surveys to find Mines and ultra-quiet, Diesel-powered submarines, of the exact type Russia is presently deploying into the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. In addition to this British Vessel, the US previously notified Turkey of its intent to send "a warship" thru the Bosporous and into the Black Sea within a week. That was over a week ago. Turkey is also sending vessels into the Black Sea.

RUSSIA PREPARING - BIG Russia says after the November Kerch Strait incident, the Southern Military District has developed a “crisis response plan” for the Black Sea Fleet & that units of the 4th Army, Air Force & Air Defense Forces will be involved in any future incident. Russia has moved missile frigates into the Sea of Azov to await the troubles they know are coming: Russian submarines have been ordered to undertake Drills off Crimea, in precisely the area of the Kerch Strait where all the troubles are set to begin: Local media and eyewitness report columns of Russian military equipment seen moving north in Crimea and deploying towards the border with the Kherson region of Ukraine: UKRAINE GETS MORE WEAPONS "Ukrainian forces continue to prepare for an offensive reinforcing troops with artillery on the northern stretch of the contact line in Donbass"- Donetsk People’s Republic People’s Militia spokesman Daniil Bezsonov said on Thursday DPR intelligence assessed it as 20,000-strong force with hundreds of tanks, multiple launch rocket systems and artillery pieces.

BRITISH SAS CAUSING TROUBLE British special forces begin operation by Gorlovka to capture DPR officersBezsonov Britain’s Special Air Service plans to capture Donetsk People’s Republic People’s Militia commanders and fighters. SAS servicemen have arrived to carry out a special operation in the Republic’s territory to abduct People’s Militia Command representatives and militiamen.”

Sixteen-year-old Palestinian killed by IDF during Gaza border protests

Sixteen-year-old Mohammad Jahjouh was fatally shot in the neck, while 25 others, including a local journalist, were wounded by Israeli gunfire, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.

By Zachary Keyser December 21, 2018 19:12

An estimated 8,000 Gazans participated in demonstrations near the security fence Friday as part of the weekly “Great March of Return” protests. Sixteen-year-old Mohammad Jahjouh was fatally shot in the neck, while 25 others, including a local journalist, were wounded by Israeli gunfire, according to the Hamas-affiliated Palestinian Health Ministry. The Health Ministry reported later that another two men, aged 28 and 40, died of injuries they sustained at protests in two separate locations along the fence with Israel earlier in the day. Saturday morning, the ministry reported another fatality coming out of the weekly demonstrations along the Gaza-Israel border line, bringing the total number of casualties to four. The fatalities were identified by WAFA News Agency as Maher Yasin, 40, Abdul-Aziz Abu Shari'a, 28, Ayman Munir Mohammed Shabir, 18, and Mohammad Mo’een Jahjouh, 16. "The armed option is the only one that can succeed against the machinations of the Zionist entity," said a Hamas spokesperson, according to Israeli media reports. Demonstrators expressed their appreciation for "the heroes of the resistance in the West Bank," referring to recent terrorist attacks. The demonstrators allegedly burned tires and threw stones and explosive and incendiary devices at IDF soldiers during the protests in order to disrupt Israeli positions along the fence. None of the projectiles landed in Israeli territory. "Troops responded with riot dispersal means and fired in accordance with standard operating procedures," an Israeli military spokeswoman. The clashes follow a recent surge of violence in the West Bank. Last Thursday a Palestinian gunman killed two Israeli soldiers, and Israeli forces killed two Hamas fugitives whom it blamed for earlier terror attacks. Israeli forces also killed two Palestinians that Israel said had tried to carry out future attacks. Hamas marked the 31st anniversary of its founding Sunday. Friday's protest is the first since this commemoration. Anna Ahronheim and Reuters contributed to this report.

The kidney club

Doctors at Beilinson Hospital performed an extraordinary 8-way kidney surgery involving 4 donors and 4 recipients brought together by Matnat Chaim, dedicated to encouraging altruistic kidney donations.

Rotem Elizera|Published: 12.21.18 , 13:02

In Israel, there is an interconnected group of people who, only a short while ago, were complete strangers but are now organically connected after an unprecedented operation in which four willing donors shared one of their kidneys with four recipients who desperately needed them, saving their lives. In a record-breaking “cross-transplant” procedure performed by doctors at Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva, four donor kidneys were transplanted simultaneously to the bodies of four different patients in the space of 48 hours. Most people are born with two functioning kidneys, but their blood filtering capacity is actually far beyond 100%, thereby allowing for someone to donate one kidney without suffering any negative effects. According to Israeli law, a kidney donation must be either from a relative or through an altruistic kidney donor. The transplant chain was facilitated by Matnat Chaim, an Israeli non-profit dedicated to encouraging healthy volunteers to donate kidneys to patients requiring a transplant. The organization, which has already facilitated 626 transplants to date, was founded in 2007 by Rabbi Yeshayahu Heber after he found himself needing a kidney, finding a donor and then setting out to help others who were in the same predicament. This kidney donor chain began with altruistic donor Benjamin, who donated to a man named Lee. Yardena, Lee’s partner, in turn donated a kidney to a woman named Leah, whose son, Yonatan, donated a kidney to a man named Suheib. Suheib’s mother, Maison, then donated her kidney to a woman named Gil—who was meant to be the original recipient of the kidney donated by Benjamin. "I approached Matnat Chaim Chairman Rabbi Heber and asked him to help me find a kidney donor," said Gil, 36, adding, "to my delight, Benjamin, a person I don’t even know, agreed to donate his kidney … unfortunately though he wasn’t a match.” After tests conducted by doctors at Beilinson ahead of the planned cross-transplant, a possibility arose for Gil to be at the receiving end of a new kidney. "We have all become like family," Gil continued, “All of us are from a different background—religious, secular, right and left-wing, Jews and Arabs—there is now a special connection between us." Yonatan Tager, who was also part of the record-breaking transplant, said he “didn't hesitate” donating his kidney in order to save his mother’s life. "My mother had a severe decrease in kidney function and her condition deteriorated to the point that she required an urgent kidney transplant," says Yonatan. “At the hospital we were offered to participate in a cross-transplant, meaning that I would donate my kidney to someone else and in return my mother would be matched with a donor.” Prof. Eitan Mor, who heads the Beilinson transplant center, said that a procedure involving four transplants is extremely complicated and requires “precision,” and “maximum compatibility between patients and donors.” "Patients can wait for years to find a matching donor, and the cross-transplant program provides a solution … I'm sure this breakthrough will lead to further operations of this nature."

Alabama police department blames crime on rejection of God

Dec 21, 2018 Updated Dec 21, 2018

OPP, Ala. (AP) - A rural Alabama police department that used social media to scold community members for rejecting God is coming under fire from a group that opposes mixing government and religious faith. A statement posted on Facebook by the Opp Police Department on Tuesday blames a spike in area homicides on the idea that young people have turned away from God and "embraced Satan." The post followed two gunshot killings in as many days in Covington County, located on the Alabama-Florida line. But the Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation says police in the town of 6,500 people are wrongly promoting religion with the social media message. The group says it's illegal for a government entity to endorse or criticize religious belief. Opp police didn’t immediately return a phone call Thursday seeking comment.

Krakatau volcano news & eruption updates:

Krakatoa volcano (Sunda Strait, Indonesia): increased activity, likely new phase of lava fountains and lava flow

Saturday Dec 22, 2018 08:52 AM | BY: T

Another strong eruptive phase (paroxysm) is currently going on at the volcano.

Seismicity at Anak Krakatau has sharply increased during the past days and now shows continuous explosive/effusive activity. The observatory informed us that a lava flow is occurring from the summit vent, likely accompanied by lava fountaining, similar to what we observed in Sep and Nov during our latest expeditions to Krakatau. This is what it probably looks like now:

Caroline Glick: Trump’s decision to pull forces out of Syria has upsides

On its face, Trump’s announcement that he is pulling US forces out of Syria seems like an unfriendly act toward Israel. But it isn’t.

By Caroline B. Glick December 21, 2018 14:57

On its face, President Donald Trump’s announcement that he is pulling US forces out of Syria seems like an unfriendly act towards Israel. But it isn’t. Trump’s decision to pull US forces out of Syria is of a piece with outgoing US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley’s address on Tuesday to the UN Security Council regarding the Palestinian conflict with Israel. Both statements reflect the depths of the administration’s friendship and support for the State of Israel. In Haley’s speech at the Security Council’s monthly meeting concerning the Palestinians’ conflict with Israel she decried the “UN’s obsession with Israel.” Haley noted that the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians has failed for 50 years. And she said that it is time to try something new. She enjoined her “Arab and European brothers and sisters” to move beyond the “failed talking points” that formed the basis of the failed peace plans of the past half century. Haley’s address intuited a key point that has never been raised by a senior US official. The “peace process” which has been ongoing between Israel and the PLO since 1993 is antithetical to actual peace. Consequently, any effort to achieve actual peace between Israel and the Palestinians requires the abandonment of the “peace process.” Haley made this clear by acknowledging that Israel has far less to gain and much more to lose from the peace process than the Palestinians do. In her words, “Israel wants a peace agreement, but it doesn’t need one.” “Both sides would benefit tremendously from a peace agreement. But the Palestinians would benefit more and the Israelis would risk more,” Haley said. She added that if efforts to achieve peace were to fail, “Israel would continue to grow and prosper.” The Palestinians on the other hand, “would continue to suffer.” Haley’s insight puts paid the popular claim that Israel’s survival depends on the establishment of a Palestinian state in Judea, Samaria, Gaza and northern, eastern and southern Jerusalem. For years, pro-Palestinian forces have insisted that their demand that Israel surrender its capital and its heartland to the PLO is actually a pro-Israel position. Indeed, they say, anyone who rejects it is anti-Israel. Haley exposed their conceit. “It would be foolish for [Israel] to make a deal that weakened its security,” she insisted. The ambassador argued in favor of the administration’s still unpublished peace plan based on the plan’s rejection of the peace process’s “unspecific and unimaginative guidelines.” The administration’s plan is promising she said, because it is based on reality – or in her words, because it “recognizes [that] the realities on the ground in the Middle East have changed... in very powerful and important ways.” HALEY ENCOURAGED the Europeans and Arabs to make a choice “between a hopeful future that sheds the tired, old and unrealistic demands of the past or a darker future that sticks with the proven-failed talking points of the past.” That is, she told them to abandon the catechisms of the peace process in favor of a path that is based on the realities she outlined in her speech: Israel doesn’t need peace and it won’t sacrifice its security to achieve one. The Palestinians need peace more than Israel does and they should be willing to make sacrifices to achieve it. The European response to Haley’s speech showed just how stark a departure her speech – and the Trump administration’s general vision for resolving the Palestinian conflict with Israel – is from everything we have experienced since 1993. The eight European members of the Security Council – France, Britain, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Belgium, Germany and Italy – issued a joint statement rebuking her. They warned the administration that any peace plan that would disregard “internationally agreed parameters… would risk being condemned to failure.” The European statement continued, “The EU is truly convinced that the achievement of the two-state solution based on the 1967 borders with Jerusalem as the capital of both States – that meets Israeli and Palestinian security needs and Palestinian aspirations for statehood and sovereignty, ends the occupation and resolves all final status issues in accordance with Security Council Resolution 2234 and previous agreements – is the only viable and realistic way to end the conflict and to achieve a just and lasting peace.” They then enjoined the US to get back to the business of putting the screws on Israel to agree to these “parameters,” stating that the EU “will continue to work towards that end with both parties and its regional and international partners.” Trump and his advisers are unlikely to be swayed by the European threats. After all, if they had been trying to make the Europeans like them, they would have just continued the foreign policy of their predecessors. The EU’s rebuke of Haley was important not because it impacted the administration’s determination to abandon a quarter century of failure in favor of reality-based success – it was important because it showed just how far away the Trump administration has walked from the failures of its predecessors. THIS BRINGS us to Syria and Trump’s sudden announcement that he is pulling all US forces out of the embattled country. How are we to understand a move that seems to advance the interests of all of the US’s worst enemies at the expense of its closest allies? US forces were first deployed to Syria in 2014 as part of an international anti-Islamic-State coalition. At the time, then president Barack Obama was engaged in negotiations with the Iranian regime toward the nuclear deal. Obama’s embrace of Iran was part of an overall strategic realignment of the US away from its traditional Sunni Arab allies and Israel toward Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood. As Obama’s deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes told an audience of pro-Obama activists at the time, Obama viewed his embrace of Iran through nuclear talks as the central policy of his second term. Since Sunni ISIS was perceived as hostile to Shi’ite Iran, by fighting ISIS, Obama was achieving two goals: He was helping Iran by getting rid of a powerful adversary in Iraq and Syria, and he was selling the idea to the American public that Iran was their ally in a common war against ISIS. US forces in Syria were given a very narrow mandate. They were prohibited from taking any action against Iran or Iranian-backed forces. For the past two years, the Trump administration has continued implementing Obama’s pro-Iran policy in Syria. Efforts to change the US mission have failed, largely due to Pentagon opposition. During his visit to Israel in August, National Security Advisor John Bolton said that the mission of US forces had been expanded to block Iran from asserting control over Syria. But since the administration didn’t request a new mandate from Congress, the mission remained officially what it has been since 2014. It is true that on the ground, the US forces in Syria do far more than fight ISIS. They block Iran from controlling the Syrian border with Iraq and so prevent Iran from controlling a land route from Tehran to the Mediterranean Sea. US forces also have blocked Turkey from taking over Syrian Kurdistan and have prevented Turkish President Recep Erdogan from carrying out his pledge to destroy the Kurdish-dominated Syrian Democratic Forces. If the US chooses not to arm and supply the SDF, once the Americans leave, Syria’s Kurds – America’s only loyal allies there – will either have to cut a deal with Russia and Iran or face Turkey alone. US forces in Syria also block Russia from taking over Syria’s oil fields. On February 7, forty US Special Forces troops blocked hundreds of Russian mercenaries from seizing the Conoco oil field on the eastern side of the Euphrates. Finally, US forces in Syria act as a deterrent against Russian, Iranian and Hezbollah aggression against Israel. With US forces on the ground, they fear that provoking a war with Israel will be tantamount to going to war against America. With US forces out of Syria, their fear of attacking Israel will diminish. BUT THERE ARE two significant upsides to the US move which together outweigh the downside, at least as far as Israel is concerned. First, by leaving Syria, the US is abandoning Obama’s pro-Iranian policy once and for all. Further indication that this is part of a far-reaching strategic shift rather than a dangerous move by an impulsive president came with a Hadashot News report Wednesday night that senior US officials told Israel this week that Washington will align its policy towards Lebanon and the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) with Israel’s position if Hezbollah receives a larger role in the next Lebanese government than it enjoyed in the previous one. Hezbollah and its allies won a majority of the seats in May’s parliamentary elections. Negotiations towards a new government have been deadlocked over Hezbollah’s demands for expanded portfolios. Obama’s Lebanon policy – to support the Hezbollah-controlled Lebanese government and the LAF – was part of his overall policy to empower Iran at the expense of Israel and the Sunni Arab states. Until now, guided by the Pentagon, the Trump administration has maintained this policy, much to Israel’s distress. The advantage Israel gains from US abandonment of the Hezbollah-controlled Lebanese government and the LAF far outweighs the blow it takes from the withdrawal of US forces from Syria. If the US abandons its support for the LAF and the Lebanese government, Israel will be able to defeat Hezbollah in war PRIME MINISTER Benjamin Netanyahu’s statement Thursday morning revealed the second upside of Trump’s decision. Netanyahu said: “We will continue to act in Syria to prevent Iran’s effort to militarily entrench itself against us. We are not reducing our efforts; we will increase our efforts.” He added that, “I know that we do so with the full support and backing of the US.” If the US backs Israel in war against Iran and Hezbollah by, among other things, deterring Russia and Turkey from getting involved; defending Israel at the UN; and supplying it with the weapons and other indirect support it needs to succeed – and it gives Israel a green light to attack the Hezbollah-controlled Lebanese government and military – then Trump’s move represents a full abandonment of Obama’s anti-Israel, pro-Iranian policies. Haley explained on Tuesday that, “The world must know that America will remain steadfast in our support of Israel, its people and its security. That is an unshakable bond between our two peoples. And it is that bond – more than anything else – that makes peace possible.” By abandoning the anti-Israel fake “peace process” and striking out on a new path based on reality, and by walking away from Obama’s pro-Iran policies in Syria and Lebanon and backing Israel in its efforts to defeat its enemies, the Trump administration is demonstrating what pro-Israel really means. So long as it is true to its word, Israel is safer and stronger for it. www.CarolineGlick.com

Bedlam at the Border

By Hal Lindsey

The Bible’s description of the end times shows a world where massive waves of migration will be increasingly common. Such upheaval will further destabilize an already unstable world. r those of us in the United States, precursors to those end times movements of people are beginning to hit close to home. Right now, thousands of migrants continue to mass along the Mexico-USA border. The Department of Homeland Security says that historically only about 10% of those seeking asylum will be found eligible for it. But it may be even lower this time because people still in the caravans have already been offered asylum by Mexico and refused it. Refusing asylum indicates that asylum is not their main goal. On the news, we see close-up pictures of women with children. But in wider shots, you can see that the vast majority in the caravans are young men. The DHS has confirmed this obvious fact. Letting these young men into the country is problematic because of the difficulty in investigating their past. Are they drug dealers or members of a gang? Are they trying to get into the US in order to escape the consequences of a criminal history in their home countries? It’s difficult to get solid information. DHS has verified that at least 600 people in the latest caravan to arrive at the border are known criminals. But we don’t know the total number of criminals because so many of these people cannot be properly vetted. On November 26th, DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen issued a statement regarding the violence at the San Ysidro Port of Entry just south of San Diego. “The violence we saw at the border was entirely predictable. This caravan, unlike previous caravans, had already entered #Mexico violently and attacked border police in two other countries. I refuse to believe that anyone honestly maintains that attacking law enforcement with rocks and projectiles is acceptable. It is shocking that I have to explain this, but officers can be seriously or fatally injured in such attacks. Self-defense isn’t debatable for most law-abiding Americans.” Before the election, the media told us that the caravans heading toward the US border were fake news — an idea drummed up by the President to scare people. The day after the election, talking heads on CNN were telling their audience that Fox News had already dropped the caravan story. At that very same moment on Fox News, they were discussing the increasing dangers of the caravan. DHS says the first caravan wound up being larger than expected, with some 8,500 already gathered in Tijuana and Mexicali. But there are yother caravans on the way. Most of the people in those caravans have been sold a bill of goods. They’ve been lied to at every turn. For the most part, they want to come to America for the good life. That’s understandable, but not the same thing as a quest for asylum. There are ways to enter the United States legally. But an assault on the border is not one of them.

Iranian ships fire rockets as US aircraft carrier enters Persian Gulf

USS John C. Stennis transits Strait of Hormuz after longest post-9/11 absence; Revolutionary Guard vessels launch rockets away from carrier, fly a drone nearby

By Jon Gambrell 21 December 2018, 9:52 pm

ABOARD THE USS JOHN C. STENNIS IN THE PERSIAN GULF (AP) — A US aircraft carrier sailed into the Persian Gulf on Friday, becoming the first since America’s withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal and breaking the longest carrier absence in the volatile region since at least the September 11 terror attacks. The arrival of the USS John C. Stennis comes as Iranian officials have returned to repeatedly threatening to close off the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf through which a third of all oil traded by sea passes. Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps vessels shadowed the Stennis and its strike group, at one point launching rockets away from it and flying a drone nearby. The long absence of a carrier, however, could become a standard practice here as now-outgoing Defense Secretary Jim Mattis sought to shake up naval operations and American air bases spanning the region can scramble fighter jets and drones. “We are trying to be more operationally unpredictable,” said Lt. Chloe Morgan, a spokeswoman for US’s Bahrain-based 5th Fleet. “Now we’re switching it up because our adversaries are watching closely. We want to be operationally unpredictable to our enemies, but strategically predictable to our partners.” The Navy invited journalists to ride on the nuclear-powered Stennis, whose homeport is Bremerton, Washington, as it transited the Strait of Hormuz. The strait at its narrowest point is 33 kilometers (21 miles) wide, in the waters between Iran and Oman. Despite being so narrow and within the territorial waters of those two nations, the strait is viewed as an international transit route. American forces routinely travel through the area, despite sometimes tense encounters with Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, a paramilitary force answerable only to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. For Iran’s part, they compare the American presence to Tehran sending warships to the Gulf of Mexico. Tensions have been high since US President Donald Trump’s May withdrawal from Iran’s nuclear deal, which saw sanctions lifted for Tehran limiting its uranium enrichment. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, a relative moderate within the country’s Shiite theocracy whose major achievement was the deal, has repeatedly warned any attempt to stop Iran’s export of crude oil could see it close off the strait. However, the 5th Fleet says it has not seen any “unsafe and unprofessional” actions by Iranian naval forces in the Persian Gulf since August 2017 before the Stennis’ transit through the strait. Throughout its trip Friday, some 30 Iranian Revolution Guard vessels trailed the Stennis and its strike group. One small vessel launched what appeared to be a commercial-grade drone to film the American ships. Photographers and videographers on the Iranian boats could clearly be seen also filming the Stennis while journalists on board the aircraft carrier filmed them. “The Iranian craft drove in front of our ship and stopped and tried to capture their own sort of picture of what was going on,” said Capt. Randy Peck, the commanding officer of the Stennis. There was no immediate mention of the Stennis’ arrival to the Persian Gulf in Iranian state media. The long gap between carrier deployments in the Persian Gulf represents a change in US military strategy dating back to the first Gulf War in 1991 and the overflights of Iraq that followed for years after. Mattis, as the head of the US military’s Central Command, himself demanded two carrier groups in the Persian Gulf as he led the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Since then, Mattis has said he wants a more unpredictable Navy to respond to Russia and China, which he sees as the “great power competition” America now faces. “The way you do this is we ensure that preparation for great power competition drives not simply a rotation schedule that allows me to tell you, three years from now, which aircraft carrier will be where,” Mattis told a US House committee in April. “That’s a great way to run a shipping line. It’s no way to run a Navy.” It’s unclear, however, whether Mattis’ strategy will continue. The defense secretary resigned Thursday after clashing with Trump over the abrupt withdrawal of US troops from Syria. The US military also operates air bases in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, as well as a major Army base in Kuwait and its Navy base in Bahrain. That offers the American military a variety of locations both in the Persian Gulf, as well as other bases in the wider Mideast, to launch strikes. “Carriers were needed to support many of the initial strikes in Afghanistan in 2001, some attacks in Iraq in 2003, and most tactical missions in Syria in 2011,” said Bryan Clark, a senior fellow at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments. “After access to adequate ground bases was obtained for today’s operations in Syria and Iraq, carrier-based aircraft were not as essential for these missions.” “The US does not need carriers in the Persian Gulf,” he added. As military operations wind down in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria, that likely will mean less need for airstrikes as well. However, the 5th Fleet still maintains a fleet of 21 ships from Bahrain and other Navy ships will continue to transit the strait. “The American Navy is showing they’re committed to regional stability all across the globe but particularly in the Gulf region,” Peck said. “It’s a very economically important area for the entire world, so we’re going to continue to go wherever we can internationally, in international waters.”

Israel, Greece, Cyprus to ink natural gas pipeline deal next year, PM says

US ambassador says project will provide ‘stability and prosperity’ to Middle East and Europe, urges all countries in the region to ensure it succeeds

By AFP and TOI staff 20 December 2018, 9:44 pm

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that Israel, Greece and Cyprus will sign an agreement early next year to build a pipeline to carry natural gas from the eastern Mediterranean to Europe, while the United States pledged its support for the ambitious project. The $7 billion project, expected to take six or seven years to complete, promises to reshape the region as an energy provider and dent Russia’s dominance over the European energy market. It also could curtail Iranian ambitions to use Syria as a gateway to the eastern Mediterranean. Speaking at a summit with the Greek and Cypriot leaders in Beersheba, Netanyahu said the three nations reaffirmed their commitment to the pipeline and discussed “important aspects” of the project. Italy is also a partner in the pipeline’s planning. Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades said the project is waiting for a green light from the European Union to move forward. “We’re going to sign formally, officially, this agreement in a few months,” Netanyahu said at what was the fifth annual summit of the three countries. In another boost for the project, US Ambassador David Friedman hailed the pipeline as integral to the “stability and prosperity of the Middle East and Europe,” and urged all countries in the region to ensure its success. Washington is eyeing the east Mediterranean with renewed interest. In a meeting with the Greek foreign minister earlier this month, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called the region “an important strategic frontier” for Washington, which is working to strengthen its relations with “democratic allies there like Greece and Cyprus and Israel.” Israel has been developing natural gas fields off its Mediterranean coast for the past decade. Its “Tamar” field already is operational, while the larger “Leviathan” field is expected to be operational next year. While most of its gas is used domestically, it has signed export deals with Egypt and Jordan and has its eyes on the larger European market. The proposed pipeline would allow Israel and Cyprus to export their recently discovered offshore reserves to Italy and eventually to the rest of Europe. Greece, which would act as a conduit for the gas to the continent, could also use the pipeline to convey any hydrocarbons potentially found in its own waters. This would potentially transform the countries’ economies while also diversifying Europe’s gas supply and reduce its dependence on Russia. Developing the region’s hydrocarbon reserves would also serve to curb Teheran’s bid to “open a window” to the east Mediterranean through Syria, Assistant Secretary of State Wess Mitchell told Greek language newspaper Kathimerini in an interview published this week. At Thursday’s summit, the leaders offered no details of a construction timeline. The countries also pledged to cooperate in cybersecurity, while Israel and Cyprus signed a preliminary deal on technical cooperation and Israel and Greece reached a framework agreement on satellite technology.

Signs of Coming Collapse: Citizens Worldwide Revolt Against Taxation & Illegal Aliens

Jeremiah Johnson December 10th, 2018 SHTFplan.com

There are many serious issues to address, relevant to current events. Just to skim some of what has happened most recently, the Dow Jones (although a “lagging” indicator) has been extremely volatile within the past month, appearing to be headed toward a loss for the year overall. Spending is down, and the “bubble” of pseudo-consumer confidence prior to Thanksgiving seems to have dissipated. The main focus: the unrest that is swiftly crossing national borders has a common denominator in France, and now in Belgium and the Netherlands. That common denominator is that of the populace being fed up with the amount of taxation, coupled with the politicos pushing illegal Muslim aliens into nations that have been predominantly Christian for almost a thousand years. In countries such as Germany, Sweden, and Norway (whose ancestors were not known for playing “softball,” i.e. the Saxons and Vikings, respectively) we have been witness to rapes and beatings perpetrated by Muslim illegal aliens with the governments either looking the other way or encouraging it. Soros and those of his ilk in the EU have been pushing this “forced integration” of an invasion of illegals with a huge ethnic and religious gap between them and the host nations. The controllers (oligarchs and politicos) are pushing these (numerically speaking) armies of aliens into previously stable nations…for several express purposes:

The denigration of the nations’ borders, language, religion, family structure, and culture

To reduce the nations’ original populace to a state of abandoning their nationalities and nationalism

To place these aliens into a position where they will weaken the economies of the nations (by being forced onto the dole) and also utilizing their numbers for support when it comes time to “vote” in these nations.

We have been witnessing an internal conquest fomented upon each of these European nations more effective than any invasion with military resources. The controllers are “injecting” these aliens into the populations and allowing their destructive natures and habits (completely at odds with the host nation) to destroy those countries….from within.

On December 7, 2018, Zero Hedge published a piece entitled Viral Video Of French Students Lined Up Execution-Style Sparks Outrage; Protesters Want Macron’s “Scalp” that really bears looking at. The cops there are way out of hand. The most interesting part of the article, however, may be the interview that was conducted with a Parisian cab driver, and his stance in that interview summarizes the rage and betrayal felt by the French people. Here’s a piece of it for you, and the article highlighted some words in the excerpt…and I’m leaving them that way, as they are worth reading and keeping in mind:  One angry Paris taxi driver called for Macron’s “scalp” in a half-hour monologue, according to Bloomberg. “We’re going out there to fight,” he said, adding: “I want Macron’s scalp, I’m not afraid of anything. I have nothing to lose. You have to risk your life or you don’t get anything from these people.” And why does the cab driver feel this way about Macron? Read this other part, showing it is not “blind rage” for no reason: For people like the taxi driver, there’s no limit when it comes to removing the youngest French leader since Napoleon who, as the country’s economy minister between 2014 and 2016, deregulated the taxi business and was a strong supporter of car-booking apps. “He ruined us, he broke our business,” the taxi driver said. “He wants everything new, digital, the new world, and he did it all without thinking of the cost for us. Replace everyone, have everything young, new? Yeah, well that’s not how you do things. Now it’s payback time.” Reminds me of Jesse Ventura’s words in the movie “Predator,” but you see the point: after they push you into a corner, you have to come out swinging. We are facing a similar situation in this country. The President has been holding his own, and it appears with the Mueller witch hunt and the Democrat Party gathering torches and pitchforks, the offensive is going to take a new direction. In January, the House (now Democrat-controlled) is back in control of defense expenditures, and that is going to place actions that the President is taking (troops on the border to halt the illegal alien “caravan of love,” and to build a wall) in danger of being halted and/or defunded. Another article came out on December 3, 2018, entitled German biker gangs are standing up for their country’s women by beating the hell out of the Muslim ‘refugees’ in the[ir] midst who keep assaulting them, by ludinfo24.com. Here is an excerpt: Days after the sexual assaults on German women in Cologne city came to light, local gangs are uniting in a “manhunt” of foreigners. And just this weekend, two Pakistanis and a Syrian man were injured in attacks by gangs of people in Cologne, German police said. On New Year’s Eve, Cologne was the scene of dozens of assaults on women, a number that has grown into hundreds as more and women have come forward to register complaints. Local newspaper Express reported that the attackers were members of rocker and hooligan gangs who via Facebook arranged to meet in downtown Cologne to start a “manhunt” of foreigners. You can plainly see the fawning media over there is no different than ours…as it labeled the bikers as “members of rocker and hooligan gangs.” Hooligans, eh? So, if they are “hooligans” for stepping up to the plate and defending their women, then what are the Polizei for permitting these crimes to occur against the women? What they are: conspirators, who are complicit with the crimes committed by the controlling politico-oligarchy…the crimes of not protecting the German citizens from these Muslim invaders. Here’s the picture posted by ludinfo24.com with the article: Look closely at the photograph. These guys are (even with the masks you can see it) pretty clean cut, dressed cleanly and normally…and they’re not “soy boys” by any stretch of the imagination. The prediction? German bikers 1, Arabs 0, plain and simple….and as it should be. It is a beautiful thing to see them stand up for their women…since their rights have been flushed into the toilet, or swept under a prayer rug or magic carpet. When law enforcement fails to enforce the law and protect citizens from illegal aliens…then it is no longer law enforcement….it is an armed tyrannical enforcer of a dictatorship….voted into office legally, but pursuing actions that are not approved by the populace. Just as Marbury vs. Madison pointed out under our system, if something is onerous to the Constitution, then it is not to be considered lawful in any way, shape, or form. That also includes [mis]representatives who circumvent the will of the people by using the power of their position. They were elected legally, but to represent the will of the people, not to accomplish the “fundamental transformations” of countries in stark contradiction to their constitutions, charters, and laws, and to the detriment and/or physical harm of their citizenry. In previous articles I outlined 3 measures the globalists will take to collapse the systems and usher in a totalitarian global government (in order): A pandemic (fostered or artificially-created), an EMP event, or a Nuclear war. You are seeing the final methods being used as a precursor to those three actions: the collapsing of the economies, the inculcation of the complete surveillance state, and the dissolution of the nations through internal subterfuge as has been outlined within this article. One of the advantages that the European nations have in dealing with confronting their governments is ethnic homogeneity. This leads to a single-minded purpose, in which they will not settle for anything less than the capitulation of the government, and at a bare minimum, forcing the resignation of the leadership. Look at Merkel: not going to run for office again. Now look at Macron, one step from being shown the door by the angry mobs. They called out almost 90,000 police to deal with these riots in France, only to find that a great number of the police are siding with the populace! Look at what is happening in the United States. Look at the crimes ranging from rape to murder that are being inflicted upon American citizens who live on our southern borders. Hungary has set up barbed wire and machine gun positions to keep out the illegals. We, on the other hand, send the National Guard…to do what? Play “Yahtzee” or “Scrabble” with the illegals? Best 3 out of 5 wins? It is an invasion, plain and simple. The controllers originally intended for the U.S. to be where South Africa is now…with the reins of power taken away from white South Africans…and soon for them to be completely vilified and driven off of their land…and worse. It hasn’t happened that way here yet, but they have been pushing the destruction of the country through forced “immigration” for decades. Remember that President Reagan gave amnesty to a million illegals. Such actions are not monopolized by the Democrats and Obama. The former President they just buried was the one who created NAFTA….Clinton merely signed it into law. In order for a nation to continue, it needs to maintain all of the elements that made it a nation. Those elements can be found within the borders, language, religions, and culture of its people. When the laws that are made within a nation to protect its citizens and maintain it are flagrantly disobeyed or circumvented by its politicians, courts, and legislators, it is time for that nation to return to the grass roots and exercise their rights. Just because a government is of and by the people doesn’t mean that it is “for” the people. The instabilities we are seeing are a precursor of things to come, and the Parisian cab driver was correct…in order to change an evil, sometimes you have to be willing to risk everything you have. Let’s close with a quote from our recently-departed former President, George H.W. Bush that may stem the flow of the single tear coursing down the cheek in mourning: “Sarah, if the American people ever find out what we have done, they would chase us down the street and lynch us.” – President George H.W. Bush to Sarah McLendon, Journalist, in 1992 Press Corps Interview, when he was asked about Iraq-gate and Iran Contra

The U.S. military carried out a series of deadly airstrikes in Somalia over the weekend, leaving dozens of militants dead. U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) released a statement early Monday morning revealing that U.S. forces had conducted six airstrikes that killed a total of 62 militants of al-Shabaab – the largest affiliate of al Qaeda. Four of the airstrikes took place on Saturday, where forces targeted a known location of al-Shabaab militants in Gandarshe, Somalia. An estimated 34 militants were killed after the four strikes. Another two airstrikes took place on Sunday also in Gandarshe, Somalia, killing another 28 al-Shabaab militants. “All six (6) airstrikes were conducted in close coordination with the Federal Government of Somalia and targeted a known al-Shabaab encampment. U.S. Africa Command and our Somali partners conducted these airstrikes to prevent terrorists from using remote areas as a safe haven to plot, direct, inspire, and recruit for future attacks,” AFRICOM said.

The targeted airstrike did not cause any civilian injuries or casualties. “Alongside our Somali and international partners, we are committed to preventing al-Shabaab from taking advantage of safe havens from which they can build capacity and attack the people of Somalia. In particular, the group uses portions of southern and central Somalia to plot and direct terror attacks, steal humanitarian aid, extort the local populace to fund its operations, and shelter radical terrorists,” AFRICOM added. Al-Shabaab has a significant presence in Somalia, where they have been countered steadily by the Somalian government backed by U.N. support. More than 500 U.S. troops are deployed to Somalia and will remain there until the government can independently handle their security, according to Time Magazine. Airstrikes on Somalia were authorized by President Donald Trump in March 2017 in order to begin countering al-Shabaab’s deadly and growing influence. Approximately 46 airstrikes have been conducted against al-Shabaab this year alone, according to the Associated Press. In October, U.S. forces conducted its largest Somalian airstrike of the year, killing an estimated 60 militants in Haradere. Al-Shabaab carried out Somalia’s most deadly terror attack in October 2017 when they detonated a massive truck bomb in Mogadishu, killing at least 500 people and injured hundreds more. Much of al-Shabaab’s presence is in coastal Somalia near Mogadishu. In the U.S. State Department’s Country Reports on Terrorism 2017 released in September, Somalia was deemed a “terrorist safe haven.” “Al-Shabaab experienced significant military pressure during 2017, but the group still maintained control over large portions of the country. Al-Shabaab retained the ability to carry out high-profile attacks using vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices (VBIEDs), suicide bombings, mortars, and small arms,” the report said.

Don’t Tread on Me – What It Means Today

In This, That, and The Other by Jesse Mathewson

Of the many slogans that have been socially adopted by some as a banner, and others as the new evil to kill, the line, “Don’t tread on me” is easily among the top ten over the past few years. To find out what it means today we need to look at where it came from, and why. It is a flag, as well as a slogan, and I hope to help you understand it better. Rattlesnakes, in this case, the eastern diamondback and the timber rattlesnake, were both abundant in North America, and something not found in Great Britain. Benjamin Franklin made many references to rattlesnakes in his commentaries, published from 1751 onward. In 1754 he published the woodcut of a snake cut into 8 sections with the message, “JOIN or DIE”. Fast forward 21 years and we were on the cusp of a civil war with England. Contrary to what has been taught for decades in the United States, our war with England was, in fact, a rebellion. Christopher Gadsden designed the Gadsden flag in 1775, this is what we think of today when we hear the phrase, “Don’t tread on me”. This was the year before the declaration of independence was signed. As a firm believer in the natural rights of man*, I choose to see the benefit of separating from the state of England. In 1778 the United States Congress began using the War Office Seal, which was replaced in 1947 for the official document used by the Department of Army Emblem, pictured here. As you can see, the rattlesnake, like the bald eagle and the lone pine tree, features heavily in our history and documentation. Current day versions of the Gadsden flag can be traced to the Tea Party movement, another maligned movement based in a misrepresented historical ideal. One article from 2016 says, “The snake, it turns out, was something of a Colonial-era meme, evidently originated by Benjamin Franklin. In 1751, Franklin made the satirical suggestion that the colonies might repay the Crown for shipping convicts to America by distributing rattlesnakes around England, “particularly in the Gardens of the Prime Ministers, the Lords of Trade and Members of Parliament; for to them we are most particularly obliged.” (Walker, 2016) Modern “educated” writers who cannot be bothered to search further than Wikipedia are in fact the reason why, in our current day and age, any use of the Gadsden flag is seen as hateful by the left – or worse, as supportive of yet more government by the right. These people use just enough verifiable information that no one questions the veracity of their stories, tweets, and posts. England and more specifically the East India Trading Company owned or controlled the original 13 colonies, as well as lands spanning what is currently Canada. The colonists had, for many years, dealt with everything from forced conscription in the English naval forces, to forced eviction from homes built and land farmed for years. In addition to these things, there were the many instances of quartering of English troops in colonial residences without any real recompense. All of this was done under the color of law and for the colonists’ “own good”. The reasoning was the same as what we are given today when taxes are raised, levies are sought, and new wars and conflicts entered into. “Your safety, the safety of (English) interests abroad and the furthering of (English) influence around the globe!” For 258 years the East India Trading company literally ruled the world, and it was all done under English laws and rules. Use of symbols was especially important at a time when many people were not able to read and write effectively. By using figures such as rattlesnakes and bald eagles, these uniquely American animals, the colonial civilians could cling to something that was theirs, and that did not stem from the King or company controlling the leaders of the “civilized” world. It should be noted that the idea of slavery as an institution and means of profit was originated by Spain, England, and the East India Trading Company. (Please note that while the East India Trading Company is also known as the British East India Trading Company, and the Dutch East India Trading Company, it was originated and founded in London in 1600) The symbol of the rattlesnake was specifically meant to offer a warning to England. A rattlesnake that is stepped on bites in every case. This is obviously dangerous to the person doing the stepping, hence the term, “Don’t tread on me,” it was meant to convey this warning in terms that even the farmers and working man could understand. Over the past few years, we have seen extremes, more so than ever before. These extremes are a result of people being classified, labeled, and marginalized by mainstream media and politicians alike. In our modern society, thanks to endless loops of 15-second sound-bytes and directed social media outbursts, we see even more people becoming disillusioned with the status quo. On a personal note, the past few years have been difficult beyond any other years before in my life. The hatred is being stoked to further divide the population, much like what happened in France prior to their revolution, and here in the United States prior to ours. This has led to people using old slogans and catch phrases to promote alternatives to the status quo. “Don’t tread on me” is just such a slogan. I embrace this slogan though I do not embrace all who use it. This is extremely important to understand. Americans, and humans in general love to use others to validate their beliefs. There are those of us who realize that only the facts matter in the end. This means that in some respects we have to understand that the data is simply that, data. There is a current phrase being used, “Big Data”. I see this phrase for what it is, the philosophical ramblings of Political Science majors who have no concept of facts outside of how they may prop up their positions. Consider this, in recent decades, this country has been in a state of upheaval. Financial destruction, millions of hard-working Americans jobless, increasing inflation, and hundreds of new laws and protest organizations. Certainly, there is blame to go around, and it should be directed at each of us. We are to blame for our own life decisions and approaches. This being said, when you have a government that cannot listen to the people, or people who are more interested in emotional outbursts than facts, these slogans and their history become that much more important! I will not blame a single man or woman, but rather a mindset that infects and affects all of us. This malaise and division are embraced and promoted by those in control as well as many who prop them up with financial and “moral” support. Modern usage of this term was meant to generate a sense of patriotic furor and has been associated with the Tea Party movement, a more recent movement originally designed to protest extremely high taxes and government overreach, but which was co-opted and devolved into mainstream political infighting. Between the mainstream media (all sides), and political finagling (on all sides), what could have been a positive thing was subverted, perverted, and eventually demonized by many Americans – simply due to ignorance being given platform over facts. In looking at the history of the Gadsen flag in use we find that the first to use it was Commander Esek Hopkins, the first “admiral” of the newly formed naval forces. He was widely known to have not been enamored with Washington and other “leaders” of that time. He was, however, an active privateer prior to, and during, the Revolutionary War. In his words, “the two new ships are Launched & will be soon ready if men could be had.” (Hopkins, 1776) He was speaking about the fact that Washington and Gates were requisitioning all the men and not leaving any to man the newly formed fleet. Washington later sacked him, many believe this was a result of Hopkins inability to hold his tongue when someone was doing something he saw as stupid. When using historical symbols, my personal approach is to learn as much as I can about them and to absorb the real history surrounding them. This is a reason I have not adopted the rather common “Molon Labe” phrase. In the case of the “Don’t tread on me” flag, it was brightly colored and easy to read. Also, over the ocean in sailing craft where it could take an entire day or longer for one ship to overtake another, this allowed for a sense of dread to build and to be felt by the crew of ships being overtaken. Modern times have seen a resurgence in the use of this flag and phrase, and while many who fly it are a part of the failed Tea Party movement, many others, like myself, have and fly this flag as a symbol against tyranny. Tyranny being quite simply, “oppressive power”, which can be applied to the approaches used by modern media, activists, and politicians alike. Thomas Jefferson once said, “for I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.” (Jefferson, 1800) In my personal study of the founders** I embraced the writings of Jefferson, Paine, Henry, Mason, Lee, Yates, Singletary, Warren, Clinton, Smith, Fenner, Martin, Samuel Adams, and Monroe as well as others seen to be Anti-Federalists or from who the Anti-Federalists drew their inspiration. How does this apply to the phrase, “Don’t tread on me”? The idea promoted with this phrase is simple, “leave me alone to live in peace, to do what I do best, and as long as my actions do not cause physical harm to others there is no need for your intervention”. Christopher Gadsden, the author of the phrase, made clear his intent to represent an idea to the British overlords at the time when he penned this phrase, attached as it was to a coiled rattlesnake. It seems quite obvious that he believed very strongly in the real separation between England and the colonies, and that his loyalty was also very much in the colonies with his family, friends, and those who wished to see us free of the grip of the corporate overlords of the East India Trading Company and England. Interestingly, there is not much known about this individual, and I have searched everywhere I have access to. Feel free to write a comment below with any links or books that may have additional information on him. So there you have it, the modern use of “Don’t tread on me”, as well as its history – and my somewhat anemic commentary. If you have any added information or knowledge in this arena, comment below. I learn from what others share with me, and from what I study and research. While I feel confident that my knowledge in this arena is extensive, there is always more to learn. Thank you for reading, and of course, commenting and sharing. *When I use the term “man” I am referring to humankind as a whole, using the classic sense of the word. **There were 3 sets of founders, first you have the Declaration authors than the drafters of the Articles of Confederation and lastly the Constitution drafters. These individuals are not the same though there is some minor crossover between them, many of the original Declaration signatories rebelled against the passage of the Constitution, and some of them were very vocal in their belief that this “document” would be a problem in the future.

Volcano on Pacific 'Ring of Fire' erupts in Indonesia sending huge columns of ash spewing 25,000 feet into the sky

Mount Soputan, a 6,000ft volcano in Minahasa in northern Sulawesi island, erupted twice on Sunday morning

Residents have been warned to avoid the peak and told to wear masks in case lava comes flowing down slopes

Soputan is one of more than 120 active volcanoes in Indonesia which is positioned on the Pacific 'Ring of Fire'

By Associated Press Published: 03:26 EST, 16 December 2018 | Updated: 14:51 EST, 16 December 2018

A volcano in central Indonesia has erupted, sending columns of thick ash spewing as high as 25,000 feet into the sky. Mount Soputan, a 6,000ft peak in Minahasa on the northern part of Sulawesi island, erupted twice on Sunday morning. A two-and-a-half mile exclusion zone has been enforced around the mountain as the national disaster agency warns local residents to avoid the peak. Hot ash and lava could come sliding down the volcano's slopes and threaten rivers around the mountain, agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said. Residents were also urged to wear masks in case of ash rain, as authorities kept the volcano's alert level at the second-highest level. Mount Soputan, which stands at 5,853 feet (1,784 metres) tall, is one of Indonesia's more than 120 active volcanoes. Indonesia, an archipelago of more than 260 million people, is prone to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions due to its location on the Pacific 'Ring of Fire.'

by Michael Snyder, The Economic Collapse Blog:

The stage is set for a battle of political willpower that could potentially be unlike anything that we have ever seen before in American history. Last Tuesday, there was a shouting match in the Oval Office that changed everything. During a very heated exchange with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, President Trump boldly declared that the border wall will get built and that he would be “proud to shut down the government for border security”. The Democrats are going to take control of the House of Representatives in January, and so Trump realizes that it is now or never for his top campaign promise. If he doesn’t get funding for the wall now, he will never get it, and he will go into the 2020 election without anything to show the voters on his signature issue. Trump has essentially painted himself into a corner, and maybe that is what he intended to do. Perhaps he understands that this is the time to take a stand, and perhaps he is ready to do whatever it takes to achieve his goal.  But if he is not willing to do whatever it takes, then he should never have made such bold statements. Because if he backs down now, he will lose all credibility with millions upon millions of American voters. And Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has put himself in the exact same position. In the aftermath of Tuesday’s shouting match, Schumer appeared on the Senate floor and unequivocally declared that there will be no money for a border wall… Quote : Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D.-N.Y.) said on the Senate floor on Thursday that there will be no funding for President Donald Trump’s plan to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border because the Democrats in Congress will never allow it. “I want to be crystal clear. There will be no additional appropriations to pay for the border wall. It is done, ”Schumer said. There is no possibility of a compromise with Trump in that statement. And he doubled down on his position during a subsequent interview with NBC News…

Quote : Schumer argued that there are not enough votes for the full $5 billion authorization in either the House or Senate, a point that Republicans have contested. Accusing the president of putting government funding at risk to “throw a bone to his base,” Schumer said that it’s up to Republicans to get Trump to the table. “They just have to have the guts to tell President Trump he’s off on the deep end here and all he is going to get with his temper tantrum is a shutdown. He will not get a wall,” Schumer said. Somebody is going to come out of this as a big loser. Will it be Chuck Schumer or will it be Donald Trump? Whoever loses this cage match will essentially be neutered politically. In the end, this fight doesn’t have a thing to do with money. The five billion dollars that Trump is asking for is a pittance when compared to the enormous sums of money that are poured into other programs. If Trump was asking for five billion dollars for roads that would be no problem at all. Ultimately, what this is about is a battle of the wills. Donald Trump wants a border wall and the Democrats are absolutely determined not to give him one. And so far the Democrats have succeeded. As Ann Coulter has noted, some fencing has been put up, but no construction of any portions of the border wall has taken place…   Quote : Coulter, who also writes a syndicated column, linked to an article in the Washington Post that details what new construction has occurred along the U.S.-Mexico border. The article reveals that none of the wall Trump pledged to build in his 2016 presidential campaign has been built.  Some new fencing — not a wall — has been erected in Calexico, Calif. But this area to fence was identified by the Border Patrol in 2009 and the material is “bollard fencing,” which is hollow steel beams spaced several inches apart, reported The Post. So this is it. This is the moment when Trump will really show us how committed he is to a border wall, because if he doesn’t get funding now he will never, ever get it once the Democrats control the House. And in order to get that funding, Donald Trump is going to have to force a government shutdown, and at this point it looks like that is precisely what is going to happen. The following comes from the Hill… Quote : It’s a perilous moment for the Grand Old Party. Either Trump folds and backs off his demand for the wall — the signature promise of his 2016 campaign — or the government will shut down over the holidays. “The odds are 65/35 we’re shutting down. I’m not optimistic we’re going to see some kind of compromise on appropriations on Homeland Security,” said Rep. Paul Mitchell (R-Mich.), the freshman representative to the GOP leadership team. “I don’t see that they’re going to get done bickering.” Like previous government shutdowns, not that much will actually change for the first few days. But the longer a government shutdown lasts, the more painful it will become.

Assad’s WMD and how Israel’s High Holidays have Predicted the World’s Future Events

The War against Syria: G-d’s beginning of Taking Control of His Zion; Damascus

On Wednesday, August 21, 2013, it was reported that President Bashar Assad with the 155th Brigade of the Syrian Army’s 4th Division backed by the Revolutionary Guard and the para-military forces of Iran launched an attack against the Syrian rebels in the outskirts of Damascus. The order for this attack came directly by Syrian President Assad’s younger brother, General Maher Assad. Over a forty eight hours period of time, poisoned gas shells were fired from the big Mount Kalmun army base located south of Damascus, known to be one of three chemical weapon storage facilities, along with Dummar suburbs 5 kilometers outside Damascus, and Al-Safira air base just west of Aleppo. These bases were demanded by Moscow to be the repositories of the chemical weapons in December 2012. As laid out by Secretary of State John Kerry on August 31, 2013 to the American congressional leaders, the Syrian military fired Sarin laced chemical weapons at 11 different sites surrounding the city of Damascus, launched from areas still controlled by the Syrian military regime against districts and neighborhoods which were still controlled by the Syrian controlled rebels. The orders were sent 72 hours earlier to the Syrian chemical weapons teams and pictorial evidence was provided of these gas masked teams preparing these weapons of mass destruction against their own Syrian people. As the Secretary went on to say in his report: Secretary of State John Kerry – “With our own eyes we saw victims writhing in agony from the symptoms of poison gas. We know they were ordinary Syrian citizens who suffered these horrors. We know that the doctors and nurses didn’t need to dress bloody wounds. Not a drop of blood was seen. We saw children dead from Assad’s gas surrounded by parents and grandparents who were victims. The medical staff members treating the wounded were themselves overcome by the poisonous fumes.”There was even a U-Tube that was posted purportedly by Syrians Rebels, that documented the firing of the one of the missiles, but how did these rebels received video evidence that close to ground-zero of the firing line was not known. What is now being revealed is that these videos of this “so-called chemical weapons attack was posted a full day before it was stated to have occurred is now suspected to have only been a “false flag” operation to justify another war, this time to take down the Assad regime as a stepping stone to proceed in attacking Iran. etc. and the extended news article continues

Expert: AI Soldiers Will Develop ‘Moral Compass’ And Defy Orders

Posted By: David Rivers December 16, 2018

It has already been demonstrated that AI algorithms exhibit the biases of their creators, so why not murderous intents as well? Technocrats are so absorbed with their Pollyanna inventions that they cannot see the logical end of their existence. ⁃ TN Editor Murderous robot soldiers will become so advanced they could develop their own moral code to violently defy orders, an AI expert claims. Ex-cybernetics engineer Dr Ian Pearson predicts we are veering towards a future of conscious machines. But if robots are thrust into action by military powers, the futurologist warns they will be capable of conjuring up their own “moral viewpoint”. And if they do, the ex-rocket scientist claims they may turn against the very people sending them out to battle. Dr Pearson, who blogs for Futurizon, told Daily Star Online: “As AI continues to develop and as we head down the road towards consciousness – and it isn’t going to be an overnight thing, but we’re gradually making computers more and more sophisticated – at some point you’re giving them access to moral education so they can learn morals themselves. “You can give them reasoning capabilities and they might come up with a different moral code, which puts them on a higher pedestal than the humans they are supposed to be serving. Asked if this could prove fatal, he responded: “Yes, of course. “If they are in control of weapons and they decide that they are a superior moral being than the humans they are supposed to be guarding, they might make decisions that certain people ought to be killed in order to protect the larger population. “Who knows what decisions they might take? “If you have a guy on a battlefield, telling soldiers to shoot this bunch of people, for whatever reason, but the computer thinks otherwise, the computer is not convinced by it, it might conclude that soldier giving the orders is the worst offender rather than the people he’s trying to kill, so it might turn around and kill him instead. “It’s entirely possible, it depends on how the systems are written.” Dr Pearson’s warning comes amid growing concerns of fully autonomous robots being used in war.

Global Revolt Against Globalism: 'Yellow Vest' Protests Spread Like Wildfire Throughout Europe As The Masses Stand Up To The Elite

December 16, 2018 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

The "Yellow Vest" movement exploded on the scene weeks ago in response to France's decision to increase gas and diesel taxes, with nearly 300,000 taking to the streets in violent protests. Images of burning vehicles, blocked highways and fuel depots, violent battles with police and more were splashed across the globe. By the third weekend of protests, French President Emmanuel Macron blinked and suspended the planned fuel tax increases in an attempt to calm the population, hoping the demonstrations would end. Soon other complaints and concerns started being revealed, such as Macron's planned reforms for next year, described by Bloomberg as "sure-to-be unpopular changes to unemployment insurance and a unification of France’s retirement systems." The interesting thing about the "Yellow Vests," which I have seen some refer to as "Yellow Jackets," protests, is that they are not organized, have no structural leadership, nor any specific organization behind them or funding them. Via City Lab, we see how it began: It’s not just the protests’ fierceness and geographic spread that have taken the country by surprise—French media reported more than 2,000 separate rallies occurring across the country. Unusually, the Yellow Vests is a grassroots mass protest movement with no explicit wider political agenda or links to existing groups. Having organized themselves via social media since May (when the movement was sparked by an online petition), the Yellow Vests have arrived somewhat out of the blue. There is also no clear media consensus as to what they are protesting beyond the cost of gas. To some observers, the protesters are primarily angry about what they see as President Emmanuel Macron’s apparent indifference toward tough conditions for working people. To others, the movement is evidence of a middle-class backlash. Meanwhile, it’s not automatically easy to say whether the protest cleaves more to the left or the right. Make no mistake, gas tax increases was never the underlying issue, that was just the straw that broke the camels back.... in France, but over the past weeks, something truly extraordinary and unprecedented has happened, these Yellow Vest protests have spread throughout Europe, to Belgium, Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, the UK and now Canada, and in each case, there are a different set of issues the demonstrators want to see addressed. GLOBAL REVOLT AGAINST GLOBALISM For example, in Canada the Yellow Vest demonstrators are protesting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his government's immigration and tax policies, while in Belgium the populace is rebelling against Prime Minister Charles Michel’s trip to Morocco to sign the United Nations Migration Agreement, which makes no distinction between legal and illegal immigration, with protesters declaring the PM to be a traitor. In the UK, it is pro-Brexit demonstrators and in the Netherlands they generally protested the government economic policies. In Sweden they are protesting against the UN Migration Pact and political elite, and in Germany rail worker protesters in Yellow and Orange vests conducted a four-hour strike over pay. To me this indicates that these "Yellow Vest" protests are not about politics, but are about the people rising up against the elite, it is a global revolt against globalism itself. Note the individual issues these protesters are fighting against, illegal immigration, the highly controversial UN Migration Pact, economic issues where the elite have their boot on the necks of the people struggling to survive and pay their bills, the pro-Brexit campaigners demonstrating as their UK leaders betray them, after they voted to exit the EU...... all globalist agendas with the people revolting against them. Over at the Strategic Culture Foundation website, in a piece titled "The War Against Globalism," the author Philip M. Giraldi, reminds us that while France might have been caught off guard when the initial Yellow Vest protest started, as other European nations are seeing the same protests against their leaders, this type of rebellion, revolt, call it what you will, shouldn't surprise anyone as it has been building as can be seen in the examples he describes, from the Brexit vote in the UK, to the election of Donald Trump to the recent election in Italy. What has been occurring in Belgium, France, with Brexit in Britain, in the recent election in Italy, and also in the warnings coming from Eastern Europe about immigration and European Union community economic policies are driven by the same concerns that operated in America. Government itself is becoming the enemy. And let us not forget the countries that have already felt the lash and been subjected to the social engineering of Angela Merkel – Ireland, Spain, Portugal and Greece. All are weaker economies crushed by the one size fits all of the EURO, which eliminated the ability of some governments to manage their own economies. They and all their citizens are poorer for it. There have been windows in history when the people have had enough abuse and so rise up in revolt. The American and French revolutions come to mind as does 1848. Perhaps we are experiencing something like that at the present time, a revolt against the pressure to conform to globalist values that have been embraced to their benefit by the elites and the establishment in much of the world. It could well become a hard fought and sometimes bloody conflict but its outcome will shape the next century. Will the people really have power in the increasingly globalized world or will it be the 1% with its government and media backing that emerges triumphant? Frankly there are more of "us," than them, even though they own the establishment media, so if these movements continue to grow as they appear to be doing, then the globalists will have no choice but to backpedal or see themselves taken down if a full scale revolution occurs.

Frankly there are more of "us," than them, even though they own the establishment media, so if these movements continue to grow as they appear to be doing, then the globalists will have no choice but to backpedal or see themselves taken down if a full scale revolution occurs. 

THIS IS A POPULIST REVOLT AGAINST THE GLOBAL 'ELITE' Many have different specific definitions of "populism," with liberals acting like populism is a dirty word because President Trump was the populist choice, but in reality, all populism really is to make a lengthy description short, is the "people," versus the political elite globalists and globalism supporters. The Heritage back in May 2018 offered a good description of what populism truly is, stating "The core populist contention is that the people, broadly defined, are being screwed over by the elites, either intentionally or not." That matter can be verified empirically. The elites either despise the people or they do not. They either support policies that serve the people or they do not. If the core pillar of populism is true—and broadly speaking, it seems to be, at least in America—then something ought to be done about it, within constitutional norms of course. The concluding sentence in that lengthy, but excellent article, accurately describes what we are watching play out in Europe right now as the writer highlights what Irving Kristol wrote in the 1980s about an earlier wave of populism: "this new populism is no kind of blind rebellion against good constitutional government. It is rather an effort to bring our governing elites to their sense." When President Trump declared he was a nationalist, and proud of it, the liberal establishment media, globalism proponents themselves, melted down, claimed it had "racial" overtones, calling it a "controversial label," as they tried to tie the term into the more controversial "white nationalist," term, yet the definition of Nationalist is "an advocate of or believer in nationalism" which in turn means "loyalty and devotion to a nation." Globalism, on the other hands, means "the operation or planning of economic and foreign policy on a global basis. Why would liberals, Democrats and the establishment media have a problem with a President who declares his loyalty and devotion to America, and who believes that our elected leaders should be representing the best interest of the people that elected them, rather than the global community? Isn't that a President, or leaders job? That is what the election of Donald Trump, Brexit, and the most recent Yellow Vest protests are about in a nutshell, a populist revolt against the global elite. Of course the globalists, liberals, and establishment media would rather blame Russia for the Trump election and the Brexit vote, and now, they are trying to blame Moscow for the Yellow Vest protests as well, rather than acknowledging that the people are simply fed up with their globalist leaders. BOTTOM LINE Europe is burning, perhaps not literally, although we have seen some burning vehicles, but the globalist agenda is being rejected, and if the efforts by the Yellow Vest protests do not bring "governing elites to their sense," which it is beginning to look like they won't, these types of protests are going to get worse, not better. What France and the rest of Europe is starting to look like right now, with hundreds of thousands marching each weekend, is what America would look like if the globalists have their way.

Thankfully the populists, the nationalists, the people, are ready for real change and as I stated above..... there are more of them, than there are of global elites.

China and Russia band together on controversial heating experiments to modify the atmosphere

The countries are testing a technology for possible military application, say Chinese scientists involved in the project

Militaries have been in a race to control the ionosphere, which allows radio signals to bounce long distances for communication, for decades

PUBLISHED : Monday, 17 December, 2018, 3:31am UPDATED : Tuesday, 18 December, 2018, 7:37am Stephen Chen

A total of five experiments were carried out in June. One, on June 7, caused physical disturbance over an area as large as 126,000 sq km (49,000 square miles), or about half the size of Britain. The modified zone, looming more than 500km (310 miles) high over Vasilsursk, a small Russian town in eastern Europe, experienced an electric spike with 10 times more negatively charged subatomic particles than surrounding regions. In another experiment on June 12, the temperature of thin, ionised gas in high altitude increased more than 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit) because of the particle flux. The particles, or electrons, were pumped into the sky by Sura, an atmospheric heating facility in Vasilsursk built by the former Soviet Union’s military during the cold war. The Sura base fired up an array of high-power antennas and injected a large amount of microwaves into the high atmosphere. The peak power of the high frequency radio waves could reach 260 megawatts, enough to light a small city. Zhangheng-1, a Chinese electromagnetic surveillance satellite, collected the data from orbit with cutting-edge sensors. The pumping and fly-by required precise coordination to achieve effective measurement. When Zhangheng approached the target zone, for instance, the sensors would switch to burst mode to analyse samples every half-second, much faster than usual, to increase data resolution. The results were “satisfactory”, the research team reported in a paper published in the latest issue of the Chinese journal Earth and Planetary Physics. “The detection of plasma disturbances … provides evidence for likely success of future related experiments,” the researchers said. Professor Guo Lixin, dean of the school of physics and optoelectronic engineering at Xidian University in Xian and a leading scientist on ionosphere manipulation technology in China, said that the joint experimentation was extremely unusual. “Such international cooperation is very rare for China,” said Guo, who was not involved in the experiment. “The technology involved is too sensitive.” The sun and cosmic rays produce a large amount of free-flying, positively charged atoms known as ions at altitudes from 75km to 1,000km in the Earth’s upper atmosphere. The layer, or ionosphere, reflects radio waves like a mirror. The ionosphere allows radio signals to bounce long distances for communication. The militaries have been in a race to control the ionosphere for decades. The Sura base in Vasilsursk is believed to be the world’s first large-scale facility built for the purpose. Up and running in 1981, it enabled Soviet scientists to manipulate the sky as an instrument for military operations, such as submarine communication. High-energy microwaves can pluck the electromagnetic field in ionosphere like fingers playing a harp. This can produce very low-frequency radio signals that can penetrate the ground or water – sometimes to depths of more than 100 metres (328 feet) in the ocean, which made it a possible communication method for submarines. Changing the ionosphere over enemy territory can also disrupt or cut off their communication with satellites. The US military learned from the Russian experiment and built a much larger facility to conduct similar tests. The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program, or HAARP, was established in Gakona, Alaska, in the 1990s with funding from the US military and the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency. The HAARP facility could generate a maximum 1 gigawatt of power, nearly four times that of Sura. China is now building an even larger and more advanced facility in Sanya, Hainan, with capability to manipulate the ionosphere over the entire South China Sea, according to an earlier report by the South China Morning Post. There have been concerns that such facilities could be used to modify weather and even create natural disasters, including hurricanes, cyclones and earthquakes. The ultra-low frequency waves generated by these powerful facilities could even affect the operation of human brains, some critics have said. Beijing and Taipei team up in space to track earthquakes But Dr Wang Yalu, an associate researcher with the China Earthquake Administration who took part in the study in June, dismissed such theories. “We are just doing pure scientific research. If there is anything else involved, I am not informed about this,” she said in an interview. The earthquake administration was involved because the Zhangheng-1, launched in February, was the first Chinese satellite capable of picking up precursory signals linked to earthquakes. It is operated by the Chinese military and has served both civilian and defence uses. In the China-Russian experiment, researchers found that even with a small power output of 30MW, the radio beam could create a large abnormal zone. But they also found that the effects dropped sharply after sunrise, as the man-made perturbation easily became lost in the noise created by sunlight. “We are not playing God. We are not the only country teaming up with the Russians. Other countries have done similar things,” said another researcher who was involved in the project and asked not to be named because of the sensitivity of the issue. Chang’e 4 launches China’s bid to be first on dark side of the moon The Sura facility has also conducted joint research with France and the United States, according to papers published in academic journals. The National Centre for Space Studies, a French government agency under the supervision of the ministries of defence and research, has deployed the micro satellite Demeter to monitor Sura’s radio emissions. The Defence Meteorological Satellite Programme run by the US Department of Defence also contributed fly-by data in several heating experiments conducted at the Russian site before 2012. The countries were willing to collaborate in part because many scientific and technical problems remain to be solved, the Chinese researcher said. For example, though there is general consensus that human disturbances can cause the irregularities, how they happened and why remains a subject of debate, with different research teams providing varied explanations. Professor Gong Shuhong, a military communication technology researcher at Xidian University, formerly the Radio School of the Central Military Committee, said he had been closely following the Russia-China heating experiment. “The energy emitted was too low to trigger a global environmental event,” he said. “Human influence is still very small compared to the power of Mother Nature. But the impact to a small region is possible.” In theory, a butterfly flapping its wings might be amplified in a sophisticated weather system and cause a storm in a distant location several weeks later. “Such studies must strictly follow ethical guidelines,” Gong said. “Whatever they do, it must not cause harm to the people living on this planet.”

U.S. Navy may stop docking in Haifa after Chinese take over port

Concerns prompt ‘review’ of Shanghai agreement within Israel’s inner security cabinet, sources say.

By Michael Wilner December 15, 2018 21:25

WASHINGTON – The US Navy has acknowledged that its longstanding operations in Haifa may change once a Chinese firm takes over the civilian port in 2021, prompting Israel’s national security cabinet to revisit the arrangement, The Jerusalem Post has learned. Haifa, the nation’s largest port city, regularly hosts joint US-Israeli naval drills and visits from American vessels. But a 2015 agreement between Israel’s Transportation Ministry and Shanghai International Port Group (SIPG) – a company in which the Chinese government has a majority stake – has raised intelligence and security concerns that are only now prompting an interagency review. That agreement granted SIPG control over the port for 25 years. The Chinese company has committed $2 billion to the project and, according to state-run media, plans to transform the port’s bay terminal into the largest harbor in the country. A representative of the Sixth Fleet said the navy’s partnership with Israel remains “steadfast.” “Our US Navy ships frequently visit Haifa, Israel, for both US-Israel bilateral military activity and port calls,” Commander Kyle Raines told the Post, when asked whether China’s coming presence might affect fleet operations in the Mediterranean city. “For now, there are no changes to our operations in Israel,” the commander continued. “I can’t speculate on what might or might not occur in 2021.” Three sources familiar with the matter said that due to concerns that US defense officials privately shared with their Israeli counterparts, the Israeli government has launched “a review of the agreement at a high level,” specifically among members of the inner cabinet. According to one source, several members expressed worry that sensitive infrastructure matters have not been properly vetted by Israel’s full national security cabinet prior to approval. “You don’t want a decision that was made ostensibly for business reasons to have an impact on Israel’s relationship with the American navy,” the source said. The deal was signed off by Israel Katz, who was serving as transportation minister at the time and has remained in the position since. He occupies a seat in the national security cabinet. A senior IDF officer confirmed that the review is under way. But it is unclear whether Israel has any recourse to allay US concerns with the China project, which is already sealed and in motion. “Historically, it’s interesting to see [that] the whole awakening is now when the contract was signed in 2015 – it begs the question what the hype is all about. It’s probably more conducive now because of the US-China tensions over trade, national security and the like,” said Assaf Orion, a retired Israeli brigadier-general and expert on Israel-China relations now based at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. “There is always a question of encouraging investment versus managing risk.” “The bottom line here is that Israel will make a fatal mistake by doing either or both of the following: disregarding China’s potential to advance Israel’s economy, and doing it with our eyes shut,” Orion continued. “We must keep our eyes open, fully aware of the risk management requirements and its possible impact on the US-Israel relationship.” Retired Israeli and American defense and intelligence officials raised concerns throughout the summer that Chinese management of the port might jeopardize America’s operations there. The former head of Israel’s Mossad, Efraim Halevy, sounded an alarm in recent months over the security implications of China’s creeping presence across Israel’s critical infrastructure. And retired admiral Gary Roughead, ex-chief of US naval operations, warned that a Chinese-run seaport in the bay could force the navy to dock its warships elsewhere. “The Chinese port operators will be able to monitor closely US ship movements, be aware of maintenance activity and could have access to equipment moving to and from repair sites and interact freely with our crews over protracted periods,” Roughead remarked during a conference last month at the University of Haifa. “Significantly, the information systems and new infrastructure integral to the ports and the likelihood of information and electronic surveillance systems jeopardize US information and cybersecurity,” he added. Israel has its own security concerns in Haifa to consider as well. The seaport in question is not far from an Israeli navy base where the country maintains its fleet of submarines, which foreign press has reported are capable of carrying and launching nuclear missiles. Domestic critics say that China’s shipping operations in close proximity to the fleet amount to an unacceptable security risk. This would not be the first time that the Sixth Fleet altered its operations in Haifa due to security concerns. In the aftermath of the USS Cole bombing in Yemen in 2000, and during the Second Intifada, the frequency of port calls fell dramatically and USO Haifa was permanently shuttered. But neither of those events were within Israeli government control. The Prime Minister’s Office, Transportation Ministry and Foreign Ministry declined requests for comment on this report. Herb Keinon contributed to this report.

Body of Woman Who Died in Mexico Returned to Family with Eyes and Heart Missing 41-year-old Amanda Gill's family suspects organ trafficking by Mexican doctors

Neon Nettle on 16th December 2018 @ 1.20pm

The body of a British woman, who died in Mexico, was flown back to her home country with her brain, heart, eyes, and other organs missing. 41-year-old Amanda Gill's body was returned to her family in the UK after being harvested in the Mexican hospital after she passed away. Elaine Hines said her daughter Amanda fell victim to illegal organ traffickers, and suspects doctors where she was treated may have been involved, reported the Daily Mail. “They stole everything inside her,” she said. “If this has happened to Amanda how many other people has it ­happened to and will again?” Hines said. “Where are my sister’s beautiful blue eyes?” Amanda’s sister, Katie Miller-Gill, asked. “Why were they taken from her? Where is her brain, her heart?” According to the Epoch Times, Amanda’s sister said the family may have considered donating her organs, and she now thinks that Mexican criminals stole the organs under the belief that her family wouldn’t follow up on the case. No officials contacted the family about the woman’s organs. Hines died at Hospital de Cos following diabetes complications while she was traveling in the country. Hospital officials said they don’t know what happened to the organs, according to the publication. Hospital authorities told The Mirror that her body was passed to police in a sealed bag. No officials have taken responsibility for the woman’s missing organs, Gill’s family told the Mirror. “Did they do it to her because she was foreign? Did they steal her ­organs for the illegal trade?” asked a family member in the report. “We just don’t know. We haven’t got the ­answers we wanted.” Her family also doesn’t understand why she died. “The hospital said she wouldn’t take fluids but the first thing you do is put them on a drip and that brings them round. It isn’t something that would have killed her,” said a family member. Mexican ­officials said her cause of death was “visceral congestion,” which according to the report, perplexed pathologists in the UK. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office told the outlet, “Our staff are supporting the family of a British woman following her death in Mexico, and we have conveyed their concerns about the handling of her remains to the Mexican mortuary services.” Organ Harvesting Criminal gangs in Mexico have been long accused of organ harvesting. In 2014, the Guardian reported that an alleged drug trafficker from the Caballeros Templarios (Knights Templar) cartel was arrested for kidnapping children to kill and harvest their organs. Jose Manuel Mireles said that vigilantes in Michoacan State stopped a truck driving in the area before discovering the children in a refrigerated container. “The children were still alive and wrapped in blankets,” Mireles was quoted by the Guardian as saying. “They were all from the same school in Mexico City and their parents had let them go because they were told they were going on a trip to the beach.” Mexican cartels, especially the Caballeros Templarios, are known to engage in illegal activity other than drug trafficking, including kidnapping, organ pilfering, and even exporting iron ore to China. China, meanwhile, has been accused of carrying out state-sanctioned large-scale organ harvesting for the past decade or more. Various religious groups who are known to not drink or smoke, particularly practitioners of the persecuted Falun Gong spiritual discipline, are targeted for their organs by Chinese communist officials. Falun Gong, also known as a Falun Dafa, is a spiritual practice based on meditative exercises and moral teachings centered on three principles: truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance, according to its website. But in China, it’s been subjected to brutal persecution since July 1999, with widespread reports of torture, brainwashing, forced labor, extrajudicial killings, and organ harvesting in labor camps throughout the country. Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) highlighted the Chinese Communist Party’s campaign of organ harvesting this week. “The Chinese government and Communist Party’s ongoing efforts to eradicate Falun Gong practice is a black mark on recent Chinese history. "The CCP’s need to control even the consciences of the Chinese people has led to horrific human rights abuses, torture, arbitrary detention, and organ harvesting,” said Smith on Dec. 3. Investigations by the International Coalition to End Transplant Abuse in China, an ethics group consisting of medical doctors, lawyers, academics, and other researchers, said that a significant number of Falun Gong practitioners have been killed for their organs for profit.

Is President Trump Planning to Declare Martial Law In California?

One of the more challenging tasks in this business is to separate the real from the phony. The second most challenging thing is to learn to connect the dots of certain events which tells an important story of what is coming, or is already underway. This story contains all of these challenges and more. There have been a series of events that have led some to wonder if President Trump is going to declare martial law in California after Christmas. This article examines the related events which could culminate in the biggest constitutional crisis since the civil war. Cancelled Leaves and “Strange Training” Over the past month, I have received several notifications from people claiming to be regular military who are engaged in cancelled leaves and somewhat bizarre training activities, without explanation. This view is captured in the following communication:

Dear Sir, I first found out about your show from my father-in-law who follows you everyday. In the times I have listened to you or read your articles, I feel like you are on our training exercises with us and I am referring to Jade Helm which I was a part of. .We specialize in extraction of key personnel, usually hostile, but sometimes they are friendlies in distress. We are frequently engaged in urban warfare exercises but this is not the Middle East we are training for. There is no question that we are training for military activities on American soil. We have even practiced arresting high profile people. We have also trained to apprehend drug dealers in fortified crack houses. This is something that we have never had to do before and marks a change in a training regimen. My unit just practiced an extraction in the midst of civil unrest. All of my unit is confident that we are talking about training for action in America in an urban setting which is usually marked by civil unrest, but we are not concerned with the unrest as it is left to supporting units to contain the trouble. You might think that I will be giving you information but I have nothing. Can you look into this but your going to have to do this without our logistics and mission details because that would identify who we are? What the hell are we training for? We are concerned for our families and how they could be affected by this. At the time I received this, I had nothing specific to pin this to. Military organizations like NORTHCOM routinely practice for these kinds of scenarios. However, I received several communications from military personnel about cancelled leaves from military personnel with questions about whether we were preparing to go to war with Russia and/or China. However, as I looked at some of the anecdotes from these communications, it looks as if America is preparing to go to war with itself. A New Communication I had a conversation with one of my best military intel sources and they said that if events “go south”, we could see America be put under martial law immediately after Christmas. I told the source I had just received information to this effect which he had me read to him. I was sent a hastily prepared article which said that President Trump would declare martial law right after Christmas and this held as much credibility for me as the claims of 60,000 sealed indictments to be acted upon by Thanksgiving…..However, what caught my eye in this article was use of the Insurrection Act of 1807 as the justification to do just what was being claimed. I have previously been told in response to my questions about why Trump has not acted against the sedition of Governor Brown and the Mayor of Oakland and I was told that if Trump acted against California’s sedition and treason, it would be under the Insurrection Act. The Insurrection Act is the set of laws passed in 1807 that govern the U.S. President’s ability to deploy troops within the U.S. to put down lawlessness, insurrection and rebellion. After reading the act, I believe that Trump has the justification to act against California officials in the manner prescribed by the Insurrection act. I promptly called Paul Preston who is the head of the New California movement which will create a 51st state arising out of California. The movement is constitutional and progressing very quickly as the majority of California’s counties have signed on in order to escape the tyranny of the Democratically controlled state government. I told Paul what I have learned about urban training by our troops, and that certain troops were on alert and leaves had been cancelled. I asked him point blank, if this true. He said he could minimally confirm some but not all of the questions that I was asking him in the affirmative. However, he said that he was limited on what he could answer. Instead of answering these questions directly, he referred me to the following excerpt written by a University of Tennessee law professor. After reading the article, which is posted on the New California website, I believe that I have my answers. Law Professor, New California and Martial Law University of Tennessee law professor Glenn Harlan Reynolds sees the following scenario as a possibility not out of the question in the near future. This was posted on the New California website. “In the summer of 2021, following the California financial crisis and CalPers pension collapse, public employee-supporting Democrats from the California General Assembly absented themselves from the state, preventing a quorum so that legislation slashing pension payouts could not be passed. “That absence stretched from days into weeks, as the state government largely shut down for lack of funding. Seizing on this moment, 34 counties from the eastern and rural parts of what was then California organized themselves and sent representatives to Fresno, where those representatives declared themselves the new, official California General Assembly and designated individuals of their choice as the new, official governor and attorney general. “The new legislature and officials were quickly recognized by President Donald Trump, who, citing his authority under the Insurrection Actand Article IV section 4 of the United States Constitution, deemed them the official government of the state, and sent federal troops from the 101st Airborne Division to Fresno to ensure that what he called ‘leftovers’ of the ‘old, failed state government’ were unable to ’cause trouble.’ President Trump’s recognition was echoed in a joint resolution of the Republican-controlled Congress, which perhaps anticipated the addition of two new Republican senators.”…. From all that I am learning, the law professor’s prediction of 2021 is not accurate. I believe we are in the middle of this happening right now. Martial law in California could lead a partial purge of of the Deep State. In addition, if the President gained a foothold over California, it could serve as a springboard to do the same in the rest of America. Predictive Programming I have concluded that President Trump wants this information out, but he has to remain detached so he has the authority to act, in California, without being accused of malice of forethought. In other words, he is not acting for political gain, but to preserve the union which he is constitutionally mandated to do so. Many who have followed my work, knows that I have written extensively on predictive programming. I believe that this law professor’s work is a case of predictive programming. I also believe that using an obscure website to promote the notion of martial law under the Insurrection Act is predictive programming coming from the White House. Further, the soldiers who have contacted me with stories of training anomalies are telling the factual side of what is coming. The following statement is not meant to be construed as coming DIRECTLY from Paul Preston. However, there is a reason why this law professor’s article is on the New California website and why I was directed to read the article when several of my questions were going unanswered. This movement is a peaceful movement. They are not officially asking for federal government intervention. However, federal intervention would seal the deal on behalf of New California. My betting money is that Trump is going to take action against Governor Jerry Brown and some very corrupt California state officials. Full blown martial law? It would be a way to get control of a previously democratic state, but more important, the obstruction and seditious ways of California could be curtailed.

This Should Make Your Blood Boil: Rotten-Robert Mueller And His Gang Of Stasi Terrorists Have Long Used Trickery And Deceit To Terrorize Innocent Americans

- This Deep State Coup Attempt Is Nothing Less Than Treason

By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die December 17, 2018

If the US Justice Department under Loretta Lynch and the FBI under crooked cop James Comey had spent as much time, taxpayer money and serious effort investigating the crimes that were continuously being committed by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton against America and the American people as they are now upon President Donald Trump, Obama and Hillary should have both long ago been tried, convicted and executed for treason. With President Trump once again calling out the total and utter hypocrisy we've been witnessing from the Special Counsel office of crooked cop Mueller, we thought we'd turn our eyes today to this December 13th story over at the Washington Times written by former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich, whose friends and family were also terrorized non-stop by Mueller and his gang of stasi terrorists. And as we hear from Rod, a Democrat mind you, it's long past time to put a stop to rotten-Robert's witchhunt against President Trump as he's using the same kind of stasi tactics against him. As Rod tells us in his story, nothing less than freedom in America is at stake if rotten-Robert gets away with what he's doing now to President Trump, a very real attack upon our Constitutional Republic in America. And as we learn further below, one of the business associates that Mueller terrorized in Blagojevich's case was driven to suicide by Mueller. We thank ANP reader Maria for making us aware of this story that should make your blood boil. From the Washington Times.: For too long, the Department of Justice and the FBI have pursued high profile investigations with virtually unlimited power. They often intimidate and humiliate subjects and terrorize their family, friends and associates. And the courts have even allowed them to use trickery and deceit as a legal tool during interrogation. But as the saying goes, “power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Dec. 9 marked 10 years to the day since then-FBI Director Robert Mueller directed federal agents to arrest Rod during that now infamous predawn raid. And it was only recently that we learned that they brought with them a SWAT team and a hostage negotiator. (ANP: Rod's wife Patti co-wrote this story, hence the reference to 'Rod' instead of 'I'.) In a recent interview, the FBI agents involved in the arrest revealed for the first time that they had prepared for an armed standoff with our State Police security detail. This kind of firepower is only warranted when the subject of the arrest is a danger to the community or constitutes a flight risk. As the sitting governor of Illinois, Rod was neither. And despite their unnecessary and ridiculous preparations, he surrendered peacefully.

Later that morning, they locked Rod in a cell after he refused to agree to plead guilty to their nonexistent crimes. Rod’s refusal to cooperate, locking him in a cell and the labeling of the charges with a catchy name like the “selling of the Senate seat” were all a part of the psychological warfare they used to try to break his will to resist. First bring the shock and awe. Then, later at the press conference, tell the big lie. This wasn’t mere prosecutorial overreach. This was a deliberate effort to intimidate us to get what they wanted. The fix was in, and the smear campaign was in high gear. History would later prove that discussions related to the Senate seat were perfectly legal and, during an appeal, judges threw those charges out. We’ve since learned that federal prosecutors can lie, cheat, manipulate and minimize evidence. If you think this can’t happen in the courtroom or during an investigation, look it up. They also suppress, hide and cover up exculpatory evidence — evidence that shows innocence. And they put gag orders on evidence they created like taped conversations. In our case, they prevented the jury from hearing most of the tapes because they prove innocence. To this day they won’t let the public hear them. And along with our attorneys, we are still under a court order to not tell anyone what is on them. As mentioned above, Blagojevich's story goes on to detail for us how Mueller's stasi terrorizing one of his associates actually led to this man committing suicide, proving once again that very real lives were ruined by Mueller, just as he's ruining very real lives of good people such as General Mike Flynn in his witchhunt against President Trump. He goes on to call Mueller nothing less than a political hit man with total immunity to do whatever he wants to anybody and as Jerome Corsi recently mentioned, Mueller's gang of paid terrorists has unlimited power to destroy as many lives as they want while they themselves can lie through their teeth with complete immunity. How long will rotten-Robert continue to get away with terrorizing innocent Americans standing in the way of his mad stampede to nowhere? Once again, from Blagojevich in this Washington Times story.: So today, we offer this warning to the American people and call for the special counsel investigation to end immediately. Here’s why. Robert Mueller and his team of prosecutors are unelected bureaucrats with fancy law degrees who have made their careers as political hit men. They are armed with unlimited and unrestrained power and can do almost anything they want in their capacity as prosecutors because the law protects them with immunity. And they are masters of the political witch-hunt through the use of nonexistent crimes and the setting of perjury traps. It’s an art that they’ve perfected over a long period of time. And their politics of personal destruction have real-life consequences. After a close friend and trusted adviser refused to cooperate with prosecutors and testify against Rod, they went after his private business dealings and for tax evasion, and sentenced him to nine years in prison. When he still refused to cooperate, they threatened to add additional new charges and more prison time. Tragically, the stress was too much for him and he took his own life, leaving behind a beautiful family. This isn’t a Democratic issue or a Republican issue. This is an American issue. These rogue, uncontrollable prosecutors are a real threat to our democracy. And if they keep getting away with what they are doing, they will destroy our freedoms. As their story pointed out, this isn't a 'Democrat' or 'Republican' issue but one of a team of political hit men using their unlimited power to terrorize innocent Americans and if they can do this to President Trump and his family and friends and get away with it, they can do it to anybody. And we've also previously reported on ANP that it was none other than rotten-Robert under which the totalitarian police state in America had begun to unfold as he was director of the FBI from 2001 to 2013. And as John C. Velisek had reported back on September 4th in this ANP story titled "Profiles in Treason: Robert Mueller - The Long History Of This Crooked Cop Shows Corruption Years Before His 9/11 Cover-up - And Remember, Mueller Had All Mention Of Islam Purged From FBI Terror Training Manuals!", Mueller long ago sold out America. And as we'll see further below, Mueller himself was directly tied to Hillary Clinton's treason. Yet he's investigating POTUS Trump based upon a deep state and Hillary Clinton cooked up lie. From Velisek's 'Profiles In Treason' story.: In 1979, this paragon of virtue prosecuted 18 San Francisco Hells Angels as drug runners. What was considered a “slam-dunk” case lost 13 convictions and the five convictions he received were overturned on appeal? The cases were so badly prepared that there were not any convictions on appeal by the prosecutor that replaced Mueller. From San Francisco, Mueller scurried off to Boston, where he bungled the case of an East German accused of theft of nuclear secrets. It was also in Boston where Mueller hired mob boss Whitey Bulger as an informant. Horrific crimes performed by Whitey Bulger and his henchmen were covered up by the FBI handle John Connolly with the acquiescence of Mueller. Instead, Mueller charged four innocent men for the crimes that Bulgers mob committed. All four were later exonerated and the families awarded $100 million of taxpayer money. During the trial Mueller was found to have suppressed evidence clearing the four victims, bringing forward false information and was not indicted because of Deep State cronies in the Federal Justice system. This is also the same Robert Mueller that falsely accused virologist Steve Hatfield during the Anthrax virus scare. Mueller once again withheld evidence. Hatfield sued and was awarded $5.8 million of taxpayer money. It was the same Mueller who also claimed it was too dangerous to go to Benghazi after our ambassador and four brave men were killed, but could not explain to Rep. Trey Gowdy why it was safe for our diplomats. Perhaps it made following the Obama lies of a video causing this tragedy was easier by this explanation. It took Rep. Gowdy’s question as a rhetorical comment not suitable for an answer. I would think the families of those killed would demand an answer. It was this very same Mueller that worked with various Islamic organizations to rid FBI training manuals of any mention of jihad and terrorism. Meeting in secret and exposed afterward by Judicial Watch, Mueller met with groups such as CAIR and INSA and other terrorist-connected organizations. Mueller gave in to every demand from these groups to effectively ban the terrorist training that our agents in the field urgently needed. This is also the Same Robert Mueller who worked to block the 9/11 victims families from suing Saudi Arabia for being the masterminds behind the attack on 9/11. So with this as a background is it any wonder that Mueller allowed his pit-bull Andrew Weisman to break into Paul Manafort’s home at 4 am, roughed up the entire family including the wife who was still in bed, illegally stole attorney-client privileged information and personal documents in violation of the Fourth Amendment. Robert Mueller has a history only partially shown above of having the capability of using virtually false evidence and heavy-handed fabricated evidence to ensnare those the Deep State needs to be damaged and jailed. The amount of failure of Mueller would get any lesser attorney fired, but being a Deep State operative, Mueller is shielded and allowed to move even further up the Deep State organizational chart. Mueller worked his way as far as being made FBI Director. This was not a position based on his fine performance in his duties before his promotion, but because Mueller is malleable, and is able to be controlled by those in the Deep State. And as the Gateway Pundit had asked in this October 14th story, "Why Was Robert Mueller and Only Robert Mueller Selected to Hand Deliver Uranium to Russia and then Run the Trump-Russia Witch Hunt?" Singled out by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to deliver the uranium sample to Russia, the delivery was even postponed for months when Mueller was unable to meet the original delivery date. Talk about a very, very odd set of circumstances. From the Gateway Pundit story.: For some reason Hillary Clinton and President Obama requested that FBI Director Mueller deliver the sample of uranium to Russia! Of all people, why would the Head of the FBI be selected to transfer uranium to Russia? It would seem that the US has a number of individuals who could perform this transfer and it would seem that FBI Director Mueller would have enough on his plate in the US. When Mueller couldn’t make the transfer in April the transfer was postponed to September 2009 so Mueller could be there. A short time later, in 2010, the Obama administration approved the very controversial Uranium One deal giving Russia 20% of America’s Uranium. The FBI had evidence that Russian nuclear industry officials were involved in bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering in order to benefit Vladimir Putin, but led by Mueller, the FBI allowed the deal to go ahead anyways. The FBI investigation was supervised by then-U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein, the current Deputy Attorney General, and then-Assistant FBI Director Andrew McCabe. Former FBI Director Robert Mueller was the Head of the FBI during this time and was involved in this deal. So we have the absolute and blunt truth of it all in the fact that the same Robert Mueller and deep state that is going after President Donald Trump today enabled Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to quite literally put America in danger in the Uranium One scandal that went completely un-investigated by the deep state stasi despite its treasonous nature. And while President Donald Trump was elected by the American people to bring law and order back to this country, the only way that will ever happen is if the completely and totally corrupted elite political class is brought to justice with Clinton Foundation crimes fully investigated and punished and Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama crimes investigated and punished as well. And while Hillary and the Democrats scream "Russia is our enemy", why did Hillary and Obama allow Robert Mueller to transport US uranium to Russia, uranium that the Russians could turn around and be use against us? And if the 'criminal elite' are not finally held accountable for their crimes, we'll have absolute proof that America will forever be lost to tyranny with nothing less than revolution able to deliver America back into the hands of the American people. As we saw under Barack Obama, the very last thing these corrupt rats are going to do is properly investigate themselves.

Why Did Google Choose NOW to Remove “Don’t Be Evil” Clause from Its Code of Conduct?

Did Google symbolically peel off its last visage of propriety when it dropped its don’t-be-evil clause?

Gizmodo reported in May that the “don’t be evil” concept went through a metamorphosis: Google’s unofficial motto has long been the simple phrase “don’t be evil.” But that’s over, according to the code of conduct that Google distributes to its employees. The phrase was removed sometime in late April or early May, archives hosted by the Wayback Machine show. “Don’t be evil” has been part of the company’s corporate code of conduct since 2000. When Google was reorganized under a new parent company, Alphabet, in 2015, Alphabet assumed a slightly adjusted version of the motto, “do the right thing.” However, Google retained its original “don’t be evil” language until the past several weeks. The phrase has been deeply incorporated into Google’s company culture—so much so that a version of the phrase has served as the wifi password on the shuttles that Google uses to ferry its employees to its Mountain View headquarters, sources told Gizmodo. Side Note: Alphabet Inc created a sister subsidiary to Google called Waymo that has launched its self-driving cars in Arizona as we speak.  Here is what the old code of ethics looked like: “Don’t be evil.” Googlers generally apply those words to how we serve our users. But “Don’t be evil” is much more than that. Yes, it’s about providing our users unbiased access to information, focusing on their needs and giving them the best products and services that we can. But it’s also about doing the right thing more generally – following the law, acting honorably, and treating co-workers with courtesy and respect. The Google Code of Conduct is one of the ways we put “Don’t be evil” into practice. It’s built around the recognition that everything we do in connection with our work at Google will be, and should be, measured against the highest possible standards of ethical business conduct…. The “don’t be evil” concept was one of the standards that appealed to potential employees. Yet, it was met with its own critics for being vague and hypocritical. Define evil, Google – define it! The updated version, however, is eerily sterile, and reads: The Google Code of Conduct is one of the ways we put Google’s values into practice. Not very inspiring. Evil dictators have values, too, what of it? The Google Monopoly Maybe it’s just too hard to stay clean when you’re the biggest search engine in the world, controlling 92% of global search traffic whereas the next two largest search engines, Bing and Yahoo, have only 2% each of traffic. Google owns 8 services that each have 1 billion users: Google search engine YouTube Chrome browser Google Maps Drive  Android Google Play   The timing is Interesting The Independent UK reported in May: The updated code of conduct comes as artificial intelligence researchers call for Google to abandon a project developing AI technology for the military. Google’s refusal to cut ties with the US military led to the resignation of around a dozen employees from the company, who cited ethical concerns and warned that autonomous weapons directly contradicted the firm’s famous ‘Don’t be evil’ motto. In a letter signed by more than 3,100 Google employees last month, the workers stated: “We believe that Google should not be in the business of war… We cannot outsource the moral responsibility of our technologies to third parties,” referring to the company’s involvement in a controversial Pentagon program called Project Maven.  Project Maven would use AI and machines to track and identify objects using drones for the Department of Defense. Ever since, Google has been embroiled in scandal after scandal and has had it has its hands in just about every pie imaginable. “In August, Google was reported to be tracking its users’ locations even when location services were switched off.,” reported BBC. Namely, Project Dragonfly, tracking users, data collection, security breaches and potentially biased filtering practices in its search engine. “Google collects an amount of info about its users that would make even the NSA blush,” said Chairman Bob Goodlatte at the recent congressional hearing. “I think it’s fair to say most Americans have no idea the sheer volume of data being collected. “It’s time to take back your data from Google and Facebook’s server farms” Giri Sreenivas wrote a compelling op-ed for The Guardian speaking out against the actions of Big Tech. He had hopes that Google CEO Sundar Pichai would at least be held to count for Project Dragonfly as much as Yahoo was for aiding and abetting the Chinese government with private data that led to the arrests of two journalists for dissent. Nope. Pichai was never lambasted even though Dragonfly’s completion would mean a similar imprisonment scenario except on a mass scale. Full disclosure: Sreenivas is the CEO of Helm which lets users host email and other data on a personal server. More on that below. Sreenivas reported some things I hadn’t previously known about Dragonfly: Codenamed Project Dragonfly, the search engine would come with a bevy of features attractive to any autocracy: specific keywords like “human rights” could be blocked, searches would be linked to personal phone numbers, data servers located in China would be open to inspection at any time. Dragonfly would even allow the government to change weather and air pollution data to downplay the toxicity in its cities. There would be no requirement to notify users of how their data is being used or by whom, nor any barrier to Google handing over personal data when requested, as Yahoo did more than a decade ago. In explaining the company’s motives, Pichai said Google had to explore China “given how important the market is and how many users there are”. “These tech companies have gone on long enough,” he said. Sreenivas wants a decentralized internet.  By giving up that data when needed, Big Tech can continue amassing and monetizing it, he reasons. He argues for a decentralized Internet. Then he offers this gem: We’ve outsourced this moral decision-making to the companies themselves. It’s them that we trust to say “we’ll cooperate with this government but not with this one”[…] Yes, why is Big Tech thumbing their nose at the government of its home base but kowtowing to other governments who are actively violating the human rights of their people? Meanwhile, while our data is being siphoned off, there is talk about how Google deserves “free speech” to do as it will with its search engine algorithms. If Google is to be treated as a human being, then what other human beings could get away with these violations? What can we do to protect our privacy from Big Tech? Sreenivas offers these more private options Private Apps Signal – an alternative to Facebook Messenger and Google Hangouts Telegramanother messaging alternative  Private Browsers Tor or Brave – instead of Chrome Then he suggests that people can build their own email servers if they know how, in order to avoid Gmail or Yahoo. Of course, that’s exactly what his company, Helm, helps people do. In addition, be sure to check out Daisy’s list of alternative social media and video options. Readers, what do you think of the recent Google news? Will you try out some more private alternatives? If you already have, let us know about your experience below!

ICE arrested more than 80,000 illegal immigrants in 2018 with DUI charges, convictions

by Anna Giaritelli | December 14, 2018 06:49 PM

More than a quarter of a million people illegally present in the United States were removed from the country in fiscal year 2018, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Approximately half of the 158,000 people arrested by ICE — 80,730 — had been charged or convicted of driving under the influence, according to the agency's annual report. The second-highest category for arrests was for crimes related to "dangerous drugs," followed by traffic offenses. Immigration offenses — like having been deported once before — was a common denominator for more than 63,000 of the people arrested. More than 50,000 people taken into custody had been charged or convicted on assault. Exactly 23,052 people had faced legal trouble for obstructing judiciary, Congress, legislature, etc. The criminal backgrounds are the reasons they were known to law enforcement and pursued by ICE. More than half of the total 256,085 people who were removed from the country were Mexican citizens, making it the country with the most nationals deported from the U.S. A little more than 141,000 Mexicans were removed. Mexico, part of North America, was followed by the three northernmost countries in Central America: Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, respectively. Guatemala had approximately 50,000 citizens repatriated. Honduras received 28,894 citizens and El Salvador, 15,445. The Dominican Republican, Brazil, Ecuador, and Colombia were next, with between 1,100 and 1,800 repatriated citizens each. China and India were also among the countries with the most citizens returned, though nowhere near the rates of the top countries. Both nations had 726 and 611 citizens repatriated, respectively.

World War 3: Satellite images show HUNDREDS of Russian tanks massing on Ukraine border

HUNDREDS of Russian tanks look poised for a mass invasion of Ukraine as tensions over Crimea threaten to boil over.

By Tom Nellist PUBLISHED: 09:51, Sun, Dec 16, 2018 | UPDATED: 14:24, Sun, Dec 16, 2018

Latest satellite imagery shows Russian defence forces assembling hundreds of tanks at a new military base near the town of Kamensk-Shakhtinksy just over 10 miles from the Ukraine border. Updated images from Google Earth taken in November shows the large-scale military base is being equipped with T-64 and T-62M tanks as well as thousands of military trucks, artillery systems and tankers. The base is near the rebel held territory of eastern Ukraine where Russia has been accused of backing separatists fighters clashing with pro-Ukrainian government forces. The commander of Ukraine’s armed forces has said Russia now poses the greatest military threat since it annexed Crimea in 2014. General Viktor Muzhenko said the satellite images show at least 250 Russian tanks assembled near the border in the space of just two weeks. He said: “In front of us is an aggressor who has no legal, moral or any other limits. "It is very difficult to predict when it will occur to him to begin active combat actions against Ukraine.” General Muzhenko said the tanks assembled in the run up to the Kerch Strait incident in which Russia captured Ukrainian ships and more than 20 naval officers. Moscow has still not released the men and Ukraine has accused it of a concerted effort to mobilise its tanks in the run up to the incident. Mr Muzhenko added: “This was an act of aggression from regular forces, the border service (of the Russian Federation) in relation to the Ukrainian armed forces.” The Kremlin has denied the accusations, saying Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko is stirring anti-Russian sentiment ahead of elections. Mr Poroshenko introduced martial law last week in parts of Ukraine he believes to be most at risk from Russian attacks. The Ukrainian President warned the initial period of 30 days could be extended after an assessment at the end of the period. He said: “The term of martial law depends on the Russian Federation. “Based on how it will increase its capabilities, how it will react, how it will provoke and carry out such provocations - not like in the Kerch Strait but also on a larger scale - the legal regime that will be defined in Ukraine depends on it.” The conflict in eastern Ukraine has already killed more than 10,000 people despite a ceasefire. Ukraine is expecting to finish the building of a military base near the Azov Sea, near to where last month’s Kerch Strait incident happened. Kiev’s allies, led by the United States, are sending in support and equipment such as air and naval reconnaissance, boats and weapons for ground troops. A Pentagon spokesman confirmed American military officials will meet with Ukrainian counterparts this week with a meeting scheduled between US Naval Operations Admiral John Richardson and Ukraine’s navy commander Admiral Ihor Voronchenko. The spokesman said: “(Pentagon) leaders will reiterate US support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders, extending to its territorial waters, as well as the right of its vessels to traverse international waters.”

World War 3 WARNING: Small ‘miscalculation’ over disputed islands could spark MAJOR crisis

A CHAIN of disputed islands in the East China Sea could provide the flashpoint for an "uncontrollable crisis" between China and Japan, a leading think tank has warned.

By Harvey Gavin PUBLISHED: 08:00, Sun, Dec 16, 2018 | UPDATED: 13:08, Sun, Dec 16, 2018

Escalating tensions in the region have seen warplanes from the rival nations frequently scrambled to the skies above the Senkaku Islands, which are claimed by both Tokyo and Beijing. But the increasing number of sorties in the area combined with the presence of China’s militarised coast guard has “substantially increased” the risk of a miscalculation which could spark a major crisis, a study by the RAND Corporation found. The major think tank warned that “fighter planes from both countries now routinely fly in close proximity to one another” over the islands which has raised the risk of forces firing on each other or of a mid-air collision. And while the report said neither Tokyo or Beijing would benefit from such an incident escalating into full-blown war, it warned “the tense standoff carries a growing risk of miscalculation”. The report says: “Given the state of tensions in the East China Sea, an accidental collision could quickly spiral into an uncontrollable crisis between the two countries.” The uninhabited Senkaku Islands, which sit between the north coast of Taiwan and the Japanese Home Islands, are administered by Japan, but face rival claims from China and Taiwan. The rocky outcrops have become the site of increasingly aggressive incursions by Chinese vessels in recent months as Beijing seeks to assert its dominance in the region. And while the islands themselves are of little value, the strategic location in key waterways combined with the possibility of lucrative gas fields and fishing grounds nearby mean Japan is determined to defend them. In response to the growing threat, the Japanese military is reportedly drawing up emergency battle plans to counter an invasion. Japan is also preparing to equip its military with its first aircraft carrier since World War Two - along with dozens of US-made F-35 fighter jets. Meanwhile, China is seeking “to overtake Japan as the dominant power in the region” against a backdrop of a “deepening mutual distrust” with Japan, according to the RAND report. It concludes: “While an unexpected crisis escalating to war is not in the interest of either country, the concentrated presence of military and paramilitary air and maritime platforms increases the risk of a miscalculation occurring. “Careful management of this potential flashpoint will test the leadership and skills of Japan, the United States, and China in the coming years.”

Yair Netanyahu: There will never be peace with 'Palestinians'

Prime Minister's son temporarily banned from Facebook for criticizing social media giant after hoping terrorists are brought to justice.

David Rosenberg, 16/12/18 20:15

Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s son Yair Netanyahu was temporarily banned from the social media network Facebook on Sunday, after he criticized the company’s decision to censor one of his posts. On Sunday, Yair Netanyahu, an employee at the Shurat Hadin Israel Law Center, posted a message on Facebook expressing hope that the deaths of Israeli Jews murdered in terror attacks would be avenged, adding that he did not believe peace was possible with the Palestinian Authority. In October, an Arab terrorist, Ashraf Na’alwa, murdered Ziv Hajbi and Kim Levengrond-Yehezkel during an attack in the Barkan industrial zone in Samaria. On Thursday, IDF soldiers attempting to apprehend Na’alwa shot and killed him when he opened fire on the Israeli security forces. That day, two Israeli soldiers were killed by Hamas terrorists in a shooting attack outside of the town of Givat Assaf in Samaria. “May the memory of the murdered be a blessing,” wrote Netanyahu. “I hope that we merit to see their deaths avenged, as happened last night with the murderer who killed Kim and Ziv in the Barkan terror attack. There will never be peace with the monsters in the form of humans who have been called ‘Palestinians’ since 1964. We need to encourage them to emigrate from our country to the 22 states of their fellow [Arabs].” Shortly thereafter, however, Facebook removed the comment, saying only that it did not conform to the company’s rules. When Netanyahu posted a follow-up comment criticizing Facebook for removing his comment while permitting radical Islamic groups and terrorist organizations to maintain entire pages on the social media outlet, Facebook issued a 24-hour ban on Netanyahu. “The digital police of the radical progressives at Facebook have gotten to me this time! Mazel Tov! Facebook has official pages for groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Iranian regime. And there are an endless amount of pages calling for the destruction of Israel and the murder of Jews. There are thousands of violent, radical posts from leftists against me and against my family, including threats of physical violence and threats of murder.”None of this violates Facebook’s community rules. They are protected as ‘free speech’. The right-wing around the world needs to wake up. The only outlet we have is social media, since the established media outlets are controlled entirely by the radical left (in Israel, as well as in the US and Europe). Now they’re trying to shut out mouths in the one place we’ve had the right to express our opinion.” After posting the message, Facebook issued a 24-hour ban on Netanyahu’s account. He responded shortly thereafter via Twitter, noting that Facebook had erased the comment within minutes of his posting it. “It is simply unbelievable. Facebook has blocked me for 24 hours because I criticized them. Computer dictatorship.” “What is even more amazing is that they erased the comment within five minutes. When I tell Facebook about people calling for the murder of Jews, they take a month to respond to me, and then only to say that the post “does not violate our community rules”.

Father of Strasbourg shooter says son supported Islamic State

Abdelkrim Chekatt said he tried to convince Cherif Chekatt to quit backing terror group, went to police after attack fearing he was involved

By AP 16 December 2018, 5:37 am

PARIS, France — The man described as the father of the 29-year-old suspect in this week’s deadly Christmas market attack in Strasbourg says his son subscribed to the beliefs of the Islamic State group. The interview with Abdelkrim Chekatt by the state-run France 2 television channel was shown Saturday night, two days after the son was killed in a confrontation with three police officers in his childhood neighborhood in Strasbourg following a massive manhunt. Four people died in the Tuesday night attack. A dozen others were wounded. The Christmas market in the eastern city of Strasbourg, seat of the European Parliament, is the largest in France. It reopened on Friday after being closed during the search for the suspect. Chekatt said he had seen his son, Cherif Chekatt, three days before the attack but couldn’t contact him while he was on the run. He acknowledged that his son backed the IS group. “He’d say, for example, that Daesh, fights for the just cause and all that,” the red-bearded father said, using the common term in France and elsewhere for the Islamic State group. The interview, initially outdoors with the father, continued briefly inside with Cheriff Chekatt’s mother, Rouadja Rouag, who expressed shock and sorrow for the deaths. France 2 said the couple had been divorced for a long time. Abdelkrim Chekatt, a French-Algerian, said he’d tried in the past to dissuade his son from backing the Islamic State, saying, “You don’t see the atrocities they commit.” The son would reply that “it’s not them,” the father said. Shortly after Chekatt’s death, the Islamic State group’s Amaq news agency claimed he was a “soldier” of the group. French Interior Minister Christophe Castaner rejected the claim as “totally opportunistic.” The father and mother and two siblings of the suspected killer were among seven people held for questioning. French media reported that the family members were released. The three others, still in custody, are unrelated but close to Chekatt. The young Chekatt had been on a French intelligence watch list for radicalism and was convicted 27 times for criminal offenses — the first time at age 13 — mainly in France but also in Germany and Switzerland. Investigators are trying to determine whether he had accomplices or logistical support. The father said he went to police of his own accord and on a suspicion the night of the son’s rampage with a handgun and a knife. He said he told police that “if ever you locate Cherif, tell me. I’ll go to him and try to reason with him to give up.” He also said that if his son had told him about a project to kill “I would have denounced him, and he wouldn’t have killed or been killed.”

Profound Threat: Americans are being urged prepare for the up to six months without electricity, transportation, fuel, money, and healthcare…. 12/11/2018 Emigrate While You Still Can...  In a new report that warns that the electric grid is the “prime target” of terrorists, Americans are being urged prepare for the up to six months without electricity, transportation, fuel, money, and healthcare.  People no longer keep enough essentials within their homes, reducing their ability to sustain themselves during an extended, prolonged outage. We need to improve individual preparedness,” said a just-published report to President Trump. “There needs to be more individual accountability for preparedness,” adds the report, “Surviving a Catastrophic Power Outage,” from the President’s National Infrastructure Advisory Council and published by the Department of Homeland Security. t looked at the potential of a power outage of up to six months and recommended Americans have enough supplies on hand for a minimum 14 days, a standard for some prepper organizations. “Build a Culture of Preparedness includes objectives to incentivize investments that reduce risk, including pre-disaster mitigation; closing the insurance gap; helping people prepare for disasters; and better learn from past disasters, improve continuously, and innovate,” said a key recommendation. The report, a draft to be voted on this week by the council, is the second in one month to warn of a “profound threat” to the electric grid from terrorism and naturally occurring events like a solar storm or flare. A prior governmental report also called for presidential action to protect the grid. That report warned of a threat to world order in an attack. Together, they draw emergency attention to the threat and impact a national blackout would have. “This profound risk requires a new national focus. Significant public and private action is needed to prepare for and recover from a catastrophic outage that could leave the large parts of the nation without power for weeks or months, and cause service failures in other sectors — including water and wastewater, communications, transportation, healthcare, and financial services — that are critical to public health and safety and our national and economic security,” said the advisory council. The report is an urgent call to action to organize a uniform reaction to a grid attack, harden it from attack, warn of the threats, and push regular Americans into preparing for the worst. It also calls for federal spending instead of a reliance on rate hikes by individual utilities to fix their systems and said that $1 spent to protect the grid will save $6 in the case of recovery. “The power grid is a prime target for attack by nation states, and it is not fair for ratepayers to bear the full burden for this national security function,” said the report, which looked at the potential of a “catastrophic” half-year blackout that could impact 75 million. The attack could also come with no notice and last half a year. “Long-duration, lasting several weeks to months (at least 2 months, but more likely 6 months or more) due to physical destruction to equipment, such as transformers or transmission lines; or the severity of the event resulting in limited work force to repair damage, or inability to create or transport replacement parts,” the report said. “This profound threat requires a new national focus. The NIAC found that our existing plans, response resources, and coordination strategies would be outmatched by an event of this severity. Significant action is needed to prepare for a catastrophic power outage that could last for weeks or months.” According to DHS, the council “provides the president of the United States, through the Secretary of Homeland Security, with advice on the security and resilience of critical infrastructure sectors and their functional systems, physical assets, and cyber networks.” While the prior study was prepared by federal agencies and the military, the new report was prepared by industry and governmental leaders. Both raised similar concerns. Much of the report’s recommendations focus on the need for a central clearinghouse or authority to guide the nation in a blackout. But it also reveals how unprepared people and governments are despite the prepper movement in the nation. Some of those warnings from the report are below: Given the growing frequency and severity of disasters and other risks, there needs to be an increase in individual accountability, enterprise, and community investment in resilient infrastructure. There is a misconception that events occur infrequently. There needs to be more individual accountability for preparedness. Resilience at the state and local level will be critical to enable people to shelter in place and facilitate faster recovery. Any event that requires a mass evacuation will use up critical resources, clog transportation pathways, and reduce the workforce necessary for infrastructure recovery. Electricity, fuel, clean drinking water, wastewater services, food/refrigeration, emergency medical services, communications capabilities, and some access to financial services have been identified as critical lifeline services that would be needed to sustain local communities and prevent mass migration.

Engineering Humans for War

Inside the Pentagon’s efforts to create a super-soldier—and change the future of the battlefield

Retired four-star general Paul F. Gorman recalls first learning about the “weakling of the battlefield” from reading S.L.A. Marshall, the U.S. Army combat historian during World War II. After interviewing soldiers who participated in the Normandy beach landings, Marshall had learned that fatigue was responsible for an overwhelming number of casualties. “I didn’t know my strength was gone until I hit the beach,” Sergeant Bruce Hensley told Marshall. “I was carrying part of a machine gun. Normally I could run with it … but I found I couldn’t even walk with it. … So I crawled across the sand dragging it with me. I felt ashamed of my own weakness, but looking around I saw the others crawling and dragging the weights they normally carried.Another officer told of the effects of “fear and fatigue.”“Soldiers get tired and soldiers get fearful,” Gorman told me last year. “Frequently, soldiers just don’t want to fight. Attention must always be paid to the soldier himself.” For decades after its inception in 1958, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency—DARPA, the central research and development organization of the Department of Defensefocused on developing vast weapons systems. Starting in 1990, and owing to individuals like Gorman, a new focus was put on soldiers, airmen, and sailors—on transforming humans for war. The progress of those efforts, to the extent it can be assessed through public information, hints at war’s future, and raises questions about whether military technology can be stopped, or should. Gorman sketched out an early version of the thinking in a paper he wrote for DARPA after his retirement from the Army in 1985, in which he described an “integrated-powered exoskeleton” that could transform the weakling of the battlefield into a veritable super-soldier. The “SuperTroop” exoskeleton he proposed offered protection against chemical, biological, electromagnetic, and ballistic threats, including direct fire from a .50-caliber bullet. It “incorporated audio, visual, and haptic [touch] sensors,” Gorman explained, including thermal imaging for the eyes, sound suppression for the ears, and fiber optics from the head to the fingertips. Its interior would be climate-controlled, and each soldier would have his own physiological specifications embedded on a chip within his dog tags. “When a soldier donned his ST [SuperTroop] battledress,” Gorman wrote, “he would insert one dog-tag into a slot under the chest armor, thereby loading his personal program into the battle suit’s computer,” giving the 21st-century soldier an extraordinary ability to hear, see, move, shoot, and communicate. At the time Gorman wrote, the computing technology needed for such a device did not yet exist. By 2001, however, DARPA had unveiled two exoskeleton programs, and by 2013, in partnership with U.S. Special Operations Command, DARPA had started work on a super-soldier suit called TALOS (Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit) unlike anything in the history of warfare. Engineered with full-body ballistics protection; integrated heating and cooling systems; embedded sensors, antennas, and computers; 3D audio (to indicate where a fellow warfighter is by the sound of his voice); optics for vision in various light conditions; life-saving oxygen and hemorrhage controls; and more, TALOS is strikingly close to the futuristic exoskeleton that Gorman first envisioned for DARPA 25 years ago, and aims to be “fully functional” by 2018. “I am here to announce that we are building Iron Man,” President Barack Obama said of the suit during a manufacturing innovation event in 2014. When the president said, “This has been a secret project we’ve been working on for a long time,” he wasn’t kidding. * * * It was the collapse of the Soviet Union that accelerated many of DARPA’s most radical super-soldier science programs. The revelation that the Soviets had developed an extensive biological-weapons program caused DARPA to bring biologists into its ranks, and with the life sciences at the fore, DARPA began to look inside the human body, toward a scientific capability that could transform soldiers from the inside out.

In 1999 DARPA created the Defense Sciences Office (DSO) and made Michael Goldblatt its director. Goldblatt was a biologist and venture capitalist from the Midwest who, during the food-related national health scare that followed three children’s deaths from eating E. coli-contaminated hamburgers at Jack in the Box restaurants, became hyper-aware of pathogens. “A guy I was working with, Alvin Chow, and I came up with a technology for self-sterilizing packages … that sterilized products in the field,” he told me in a 2014 interview. Thinking the technology could be useful to the government, he called Larry Lynn, the director of DARPA. “I told Larry … how [the self-sterilizing packages] could be used in field hospitals or on the battlefield. Larry was blown away. He said, ‘We want you to come to DARPA.’ And I did.” The turn of the century “was a radical time to be at DARPA,” Goldblatt said. He believed that defense sciences could demonstrate that “the next frontier was inside of our own selves,” and he became a pioneer in military-based transhumanism—the notion that man can alter the human condition fundamentally by augmenting the body with machines and other means. At the time, the threat from biological warfare was in his words “growing far faster than the solutions were coming in. … [President] Clinton gave lots of money to the countermeasures program for unconventional pathogens,” with the result that DARPA had plenty of funding for biology programs. Goldblatt saw the creation of the super-soldier as imperative to 21st-century warfare. Goldblatt ran the DSO until 2004, and when he spoke to me last year, he could only describe unclassified programs. More than 10 years after his departure, the status of the “super-soldier” pursuits he helped launch is murky; DARPA’s highest-risk, highest-payoff programs remain secret until they are unveiled on the battlefield. Still, given the progress of the exoskeleton, these or similar programs could be closer to reality than anyone realizes. “Soldiers having no physical, physiological, or cognitive limitation will be key to survival and operational dominance in the future,” Goldblatt told his program managers a few weeks after his arrival. One program in the DSO, called Persistence in Combat, addressed three areas that slowed soldiers down on the battlefield: pain, wounds, and excessive bleeding. Goldblatt hired a biotechnology firm to develop a pain vaccine. If a soldier got shot, Goldblatt explained, the vaccine would “reduce the pain triggered by inflammation and swelling,” the desired result being “10 to 30 seconds of agony then no pain for 30 days.” Such a vaccine would allow the warfighter to keep fighting so long as bleeding could be stopped. To develop new ways to try to stop bleeding, Goldblatt initiated another program that involved injecting millions of microscopic magnets into a person, which could later be brought together into a single area to stop bleeding with the wave of a wand. Another idea was to find a way to get a wounded soldier to go into a kind of hibernation, or suspended animation, until help arrived. Achieving this goal would give a soldier precious hours, or even days, to survive blood loss and avoid going into shock while awaiting evacuation or triage. Bears hibernate. Why can’t man? Could a chemical compound produce such a state? Sleep, too, was a focus of intense research at DSO. In the Continually Assisted Performance program, scientists worked on ways to create a “24/7 soldier,” one who required little or no sleep for up to seven days. If this could be achieved, an enemy’s need for sleep would put him at an extreme disadvantage. Goldblatt’s program managers hired marine biologists studying certain sea animals to look for clues. Whales and dolphins don’t sleep; as mammals, they would drown if they did. Unlike humans, they are somehow able to control the lobes of their left and right brains so that while one lobe sleeps, the opposite lobe stays awake, allowing the animal to swim. While some DARPA scientists ruminated over the question of how humans might one day control the lobes of their own brains, other scientists experimented with drugs like Modafinil, a powerful medication used to counter sleep apnea and narcolepsy, to keep warfighters awake. Other programs explored other questions. What if soldiers could have 10 times the muscle endurance of enemy soldiers? What if they could leap seven feet or do 300 pull-ups a day? Under the DSO banner, in a program called the Brain-Machine Interface, DARPA scientists studied how brain implants could enhance cognitive ability. The program’s first goal was to create “a wireless brain modem for a freely moving rat,” DARPA’s Eric Eisenstadt stated at a technology conference in 2002.The scientists would implant a chip in the rat’s brain to see if they could remotely control the animal’s movements. “The objective of this effort,” Eisenstadt explained, “is to use remote teleoperation via direct interconnections with the brain.” The bigger objective was to allow future “soldiers [to] communicate by thought alone. … Imagine a time when the human brain has its own wireless modem so that instead of acting on thoughts, warfighters have thoughts that act,” Eisenstadt suggested. But a 2008 report by defense scientists raised some warnings. “An adversary might use” brain technology “in military applications. … An extreme example would be remote guidance or control of a human being.” Other critics said that the quest to enhance human performance on the battlefield would lead scientists down a morally dangerous path. Michael Goldblatt disagreed. “How is having a cochlear implant that helps the deaf hear any different than having a chip in your brain that could help control your thoughts?” he asked. When questioned about unintended consequences, like controlling humans for nefarious ends, Goldblatt insisted, “There are unintended consequences for everything.” This article has been excerpted from Annie Jacobsen's new book, The Pentagon's Brain: An Uncensored History of DARPA, America's Top-Secret Military Research Agency.

NJ State Police: ‘No Plans to Go Door-to-Door’ to Enforce Magazine Ban

On December 11, 2018, Breitbart News reported on our correspondence with the New Jersey State Police (NJSP), learning that they would not rule out going house-to-house, or door-to-door, to enforce the new “high-capacity” magazine ban. New Jersey’s new ban, which took effect during the midnight hour of Tuesday, December 11, makes it a felony to possess a magazine holding more than ten rounds. We asked the NJSP if they would be enforcing this ban on a traffic stop-basis — checking magazines in firearms when they pulled over drivers for speeding, reckless driving, etc. — or whether they would enforce it by going to house-to-house to check the capacity of magazines owned by New Jersey residents. Rather than ruling that option out, they responded: “We do not discuss enforcement strategies.” NJSP contacted Breitbart News on the night of December 11, offering a second statement which went further than the first. They said: “While we do not discuss our enforcement strategies, there are no plans to go door-to-door to enforce this current ban.” Breitbart News is still waiting for Daniel Bryan, Gov. Phil Murphy’s (D) press secretary, to explain how the governor expects his ban to be enforced. On Monday we asked Bryan questions that were similar to those we asked the NJSP, and he has not answered as of the publication of this article.

The Deep State Wants Your Guns

TOPICS:José Niño December 12, 2018

James Bovard notes the threat to private gun ownership posed by the “deep state,” the “officials who secretly wield power permanently in Washington, often in federal agencies with vast sway and little accountability.” While such laws were made by elected officials, it is unelected bureaucrats who are largely left in charge of enforcement, and that can cause big problems for gun owners. Just before press time for this issue, it was reported that a California farmer who was simply trying to meet the state’s ever-changing restrictive gun laws by registering his rifle is being charged with 12 felonies after the state DOJ determined his AR-15 to be “illegally modified.” Questionable Federal Background Checks Bovard’s observations should not come as a surprise. As government agencies — unlike lawmakers — are able to directly access databases that relate to gun ownership, the agencies themselves are often in a position to abuse this information. These databases are under the control of gigantic bureaucracies like FBI that face little to no accountability from voters. The National Instant Background Check System (NICS) is the pillar of all background check systems for firearms purchases and was a part of the 1994 Brady Act. Any time a prospective gun owner wants to buy a gun from a federally licensed firearms dealer (FFL), they must go through a background check. Under this system, the FBI looks at certain factors such as criminal history and mental health to determine if an individual presents too much of a risk to own a firearm. Although NICS is marketed as a speedy background check system, it comes with its own set of problems. NICS has gained notoriety for producing false positives. In other words, law-abiding citizens are mixed and matched with criminals who have the same name. In turn, these individuals are prevented from acquiring guns due to bureaucratic errors. Particularly worrisome is the rate of initial NICS denials that turn out as false positives. Some estimates from the Crime Prevention Research Center indicate that in 2009 alone, 93 percent of initial NICS denials were false positives. Regardless, NICS has remained intact even when evidence has shown that it is ineffective in combating crime. For example, crime rates had already gone into steep decline by the mid-1990s, well before NICS went into effect in 1998.  Fear of Gun Registration is Warranted Yet, the gun-control bureaucracy continues to grow. This was on full display when Fix NICS was recently signed into law— it was the largest gun expansion at the federal level since the Brady Act was enacted in 1993. Under Fix NICS, state governments are now being incentivized to share records with the federal government in order to streamline the background check process. Proponents of Fix NICS claim that these tweaks would have prevented the Charleston church and the Sutherland Springs mass shootings, in which both shooters supposedly fell through the cracks of the NICS system. Certain gun owners worry that the federal government’s program to incentivize states to hand over their gun records could lead to the creation of a federal gun registry. And these fears are not without their merits. After NICS came into effect in 1998, the federal government was eager to amass its own database. Even though the Brady Act prohibited the federal government from creating a gun owner registry, then Attorney General Janet Reno proceeded to keep gun owner records for 6 months — a clear violation of the Brady Act’s requirement to have all records destroyed immediately. Bureaucracies are a Different Animal The Reno incident shows yet again that bureaucracies have their own agendas. It is myopic to believe that bureaucracies will act in the public interest and abide by the rule of law when left unchecked. Avoiding The Eye - Ships Free Today! Bovard thus raises an interesting concern: “While such laws were made by elected officials, it is unelected bureaucrats who are largely left in charge of enforcement, and that can cause big problems for gun owners”. Exercising control over this sort of legal abuse can be exceptionally difficult when dealing with unelected bureaucrats. In the book Bureaucracy, Ludwig von Mises contended that the “worst law is better than bureaucratic tyranny”. There is considerable truth behind this assertion. A solid citizen lobby can vote out anti-gun politicians, but they will have much more work on their plate in order to put the clamps on bureaucratic overreach. In some cases it may require a wholesale abolition or defunding of a government bureaucracy — a tall order in today’s climate of ever-expanding government.

ISRAEL PUTS TROOPS ON LEBANON BORDER; LEBANON NOW DEPLOYING TROOPS TO FACE THEM

Category: World News Tuesday, 11 December 2018 15:04

A large number of reinforcements from the Lebanese Army poured into the Nabatieh Governorate of southern Lebanon this afternoon. According to a military source, the Lebanese Army deployed these reinforcements near the United Nations’ “blue line” in the town of Mays Al-Jabal. Sources say Israel is planning a military attack upon Lebanon "around Christmas" while the world is distracted by the holiday." The reinforcements were sent by the Lebanese Army in response to the large buildup of Israeli troops along the border of the Upper Galilee region. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) is currently digging at several border-towns near the United Nations’ blue line; they have increased their presence in the area over the least 72 hours. Hezbollah is the entity which won election and runs the government of Lebanon. The US and Israel classify Hezbollah as a "terrorist organization." Hezbollah’s official media wing released a new map (above) of Lebanon that shows the areas where the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have been searching for tunnels. According to the map, the Israeli Defense Forces have been searching the border areas in Kafr Kila, Mays Al-Jabal, Bleida, Ramieh, and ‘Alma Al-Sha’ab. The map below shows the Nabatieh Governorate of southern Lebanon where the Lebanese Army is now deploying troops: The primary focus of the IDF operation is taking place near the towns of Mays Al-Jabal and Kafr Kila; these aforementioned towns are the locations of the two destroyed tunnels. The Israeli Defense Forces are still searching the Lebanese border for Hezbollah tunnels; however, they have yet to find any in the last 48 hours. Meanwhile, Israel today reportedly gave Hezbollah a deadline for agreeing to stop manufacturing precision weapons which can reach into central Israel. It is not yet known what that deadline is, or why Israel thinks it can tell another country what weapons systems it is allowed to possess. Intelligence sources tell the Hal Turner Radio Show that Israel is still smarting from being defeated in its last war with Lebanon, and since Israel is presently unable to continue attacking Syria with impunity thanks to Syria's new S-300 missile system, the Israelis are now focusing on someone else to wage war with. Those sources BOTH say "expect war between Israel and Lebanon before Christmas."

In Beijing, Moreno pushes trade, loan refinancing and Ecuador’s participation in the ‘Silk Road’

Dec 12, 2018 | CuencaHighLife | Views: 1,381

In a series of meetings with Chinese government and corporate officials Tuesday, President Lenin Moreno promoted Ecuadorian products and investment opportunities. He also signaled Ecuador’s interest in being a part of China’s massive “Silk Road” infrastructure project in Latin America. Today, Moreno and his delegation meet with financial officials to discuss refinancing Ecuador’s multi-billion dollar debt to Chinese government agencies and banks. Prior to the visit, China said it was willing to provide Ecuador more favorable terms on outstanding loans. Later in the day, Moreno meets and dines with Chinese President Xi Jinping to discuss a number of topics, including Ecuador’s involvement in the Silk Road project. Called the largest infrastructure project in history, the Silk Road is a trillion-dollar Chinese investment program to build roads, rail lines, airports and hydro-electric projects with partner countries. Originally planned for Asia, Europe and Africa, Xi Jinping recently announced the project will have a Latin American component. Citing the “complimentary interests” of the two countries, Moreno acknowledged China’s dominant position in world affairs. “China has become the benchmark for innovation and development in the 21st century,” he said. “Ecuador has a great deal to offer as China extends its interests throughout the world and we are eager to cooperate in a range of mutually beneficial financial, infrastructure and social projects.Moreno touted Ecuador’s location on the Pacific rim as an advantage for China, as well as the quality of its existing infrastructure. “The two countries have direct access to each other by sea routes and Ecuador offers investors an existing network of good highways and a reliable electric power grid,” he said. He cited a recent report in which Ecuador ranks second only to Chile for the best highways in Latin America. In Tuesday’s trade talks, the focus was on Ecuador’s major exports, such as seafood, bananas, rice and flowers, but also covered what Ecuador Foreign Trade Minister Pablo Campana called “emerging market products,” such as coffee, chocolate and hand-crafted goods. “It is important that Ecuador diversify beyond oil to develop trade in new markets,” he said. “This is a primary objective of our trade and investment discussions in China.” During the visit, Ecuador and China plan to sign a wide range of agreements on such issues as judicial cooperation, civil aviation, disaster risk management, agricultural and technical cooperation.

Google Is the Enemy of Humanity and Needs to Resisted At All Costs

12-12-2018 < news The Common Sense Show

Dave Hodges The Common Sense Show

I recently wrote an article in which I asserted that the American citizenry consists of 3 groups: (1) Godless Liberals, who comprise 20% of the population, who are fanatically dedicated to the demise of the rule of law and the abandonment of any sense of nationalism and patriotism; (2) Conservatives, who make up 30% of the population, who are dedicated to the tenets of the Constitution and rule of law as well as the rejection of globalism; and, (3) The slugs who make up about 50% of the population and they are generally clueless about the world they live in and how close they are to losing everything. Oh, they will eventually riot like the French when their entertainment is interfered with, but they will not riot until it is too late to make any significant changes. There are many liberal influences that controls the minds and ultimately the perceptions of the majority of people in the United States. Over 98% of the mainstream media is controlled by 6 people, all liberals, who have expressed disdain for the average person. Yes, Fox appears to be conservative, but make no mistake about it, Fox is the controlled opposition. That leaves 2% of the media to tell the country the truth about what is REALLY happening to our freedoms, and ultimately our final fate under the intentions of globalist rule. At the forefront of the propaganda that keeps America paralyzed is Google. Google has moved passed Monsanto (ie Monsatan) as the most evil corporation in the world. Google is an active participant in Chinese genocide against their conservative social class with the installation of the Google-created Chinese Social Credit System that sends average citizens to prison and ultimately their demise for expressed populist opinions as detected by the Google technology. And that technology is being implemented in America as I write these words. The marriage between the repressive Chinese government and Google is a marriage made in hell. I have written countless articles where I accuse Google as being the enemy of democracy. Google is more powerful than nations. They are treating the world like any conquering army. They are erasing history, altering culture, stifling legitimate dissent, strangling economic competition, monopolizing the Internet, hacking elections and relentlessly spying on American citizens. When Google was questioned by Congress and their CEO was challenged by Alex Jones about their role in Chinese genocide, the Google CEO giggled! If you do not think that Google will laugh over the graves of conservative Americans and ultimately the grace of the clueless slugs, you are not paying attention. Google, without question, is the enemy of freedom and they are committing crimes against humanity that would have resulted in their arrest and execution at the Nuremburg trials held for Nazi war criminals and their actions in the concentration camps. Make no mistake about it, Google is the genocidal arm of the New World Order (ie the globalists). Google has gone beyond Orwell’s 1984. They are in the midst of creating a “Blue Pill” reality. Google is the matrix. Google has created the cage where the young people of America are growing up. It is the cage that people my generation resists because we were essentially born free. My generation respects our collective innate spirit of autonomy that the Lord blessed us with. However, our younger generation has been raised in the Google-created cage and they do not know true freedom and are unable to see the loss of free will that is a central part of our God-created spirit. Ultimately, if Google cannot permanently control the 50% of the population (ie slugs), they will indeed lose in their ability to totally enforce a police state surveillance grid with genocidal intentions. I want to be perfectly clear, without hyperbole, under Google’s growing control over the Internet and ultimately commerce, we are racing headlong towards the mark of the beast. Ask yourself a question: Do you see any freedom-respecting and Christian values coming from Google? Their marriage to the genocidal Communist Chinese regime speaks to their intentions for humanity. The fundamental and central concern for humanity hinges on mounting resistance against Google. The Art of War, written by Sun Tzu, talked about putting people on death’s ground if one needed maximum effort from the majority of an army needed to accomplish victory. Sun Tzu once said the following: “… Throw your soldiers into positions whence there is no escape, and they will prefer death to flight. If they will face death, there is nothing they may not achieve. Officers and men alike will put forth their uttermost strength…” The antithesis of resistance is rooted in the fallacy of Q-Anon and it is based upon getting America to relax and to prevent American society from being thrown on death’s ground. Tomorrow, there will be 55,000 indictments. Sorry, that date has been moved to January, but the indictments will grow to 65,000. Gitmo has added thousands of beds. Sometime next spring, the number of sealed indictments will grow to 75,000. Relax America, you are safe, resistance is futile, but justice will be done. The damn truth of the matter is that Trump has done nothing to drain the swamp and Q-Anon is an anesthetic designed to paralyze resistance to the growing tyranny. There has not been one indictment and not one conviction and there will never be. There are only 300 sealed indictments across the United States, yet we cling to the false promise that justice is coming. For those who believe in the tooth fairy, Santa, and the Easter Bunny, please show me one scintilla of proof…. please… one shred of proof….waiting…any time now….So, while you wait for what will never be, perhaps, for the sake of your children, you should take matters into your own hands The key to waking up the majority of the slugs is to put them and theirs on death’s ground. All conversations with the beer-drinking NFL- couch-potato-fanatics must begin and end with the discussion of the bottom line, the death and destruction of their children by the hand of the globalists. I speak everyday to slugs and I tell them that while they refer to my observations as “conspiracy theory”, their children are being set up for slaughter by the globalist bankers who are planning the next war that could wipe out the majority of humanity. Why do the globalists need the war, they need to destroy nations and reduce the size of the population so they can usher in a one-world economic and tyrannical governmental system whose dissident detection systems will be run by Google. Remember, it was the IBM punch cards that allowed the Germans to accurately process millions of death camp victims. Google, because of technological advances, will much more active than IBM in the demise of humanity. They have already shown their hand with regard to growing holocaust growing in China. To the slugs who think that they can hide behind their cognitive dissonance, please look at the future that the globalists have planned for your children. To the slugs, these are your children that will buried here in the next war to end all wars. They will end up here, because you failed to put down the remote and act. In this case, a picture is worth a thousand words and no other elaboration is necessary. It may surprise some to know that many of us in the Independent Media speak to each other about our hopes and fears for humanity. Unlike the so-called journalists in the MSM, we actually care about the outcome and are trying to save lives. Along these lines, I have had conservations with Steve Quayle and he feels that the long-term survival of America is not likely, but individual survival may be achieved. I agree with Steve. My hope, however, is to stave off the inevitable for as long as possible. What if we were able to achieve pushing back the globalists for a generation or longer? At least our children would have a fighting chance. Even if the inevitable happens, I would rather die on my feet than in some gas chamber designed for dissidents to the globalist inspired New World Order. As long as God gives me the strength to resist, I will. And to my final point, our best ally is God. However, faith without action is a folly. My actions are strongly directed at waking up the slugs. If you care about your children, you may wish to roll up your sleeves, after you pray to the Lord for guidance, and get to work. Cognitive dissonance is a powerful force to overcome. However, there is another psychological condition that we can use to our benefit, and it is called confirmation bias which states that the more one hears a message, the more likely they are to believe the message. This is why Google spends so much time censoring ideas of freedom and the rule of law. Google can shadow ban this article, but if you are reading this article, Google cannot shadow ban you sharing these observations with friends and family. Look at the previous photo, do you see your children buried at Arlington? And for goodness sake, do not use Google as a search engine. At the heart of all the misery expressed in this article, if you have any doubt that Google is at the center of all this tyranny, you need to reread the article and then share it with family and friends.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai Runs From Alex Jones & Roger Stone at Congressional Hearing

Police threaten Jones with arrest during confrontation

Paul Joseph Watson | Infowars.com - December 11, 2018

Google CEO Sundar Pichai fled from Alex Jones and Roger Stone before a Congressional hearing during which Pichai will be grilled about censorship of conservative voices. Pichai appeared agitated as Jones repeatedly chanted “Google is evil”. A police officer then warned Jones to be quiet or he would be arrested. “They’re going to talk about me in this committee, I will be talked about – so what am I supposed to do?” Jones asked reporters. “I don’t get a day in court, they lie about me….all the top searches are lies about me and my family,” said Jones, accusing Google of helping Communist China’s government target dissidents. “His people come lie to Congress over and over and over again and we don’t get to respond to them,” he added. The tech giant has denied that it is censoring conservative voices on its platforms, despite Google-owned YouTube banning both Jones and Gavin McInnes this year.

4.4 magnitude earthquake Tennessee: Strongest earthquake since 1973 hits near Decatur right across the river from Watts Bar Nuclear Plant and is felt in Atlanta Metro

By Strange Sounds - Dec 12, 2018

An early morning earthquake in east Tennessee Wednesday was widely felt over the Southeast U.S. The magnitude 4.4 quake struck around 4:14 a.m. EST, centered about 7 miles north-northeast of Decatur, Tennessee, in Meigs County, about 55 miles west-southwest of Knoxville. And right across the river from Watts Bar Nuclear Plant It was followed about 12 minutes later by a magnitude 3.3 aftershock. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, light shaking was observed over most of the Atlanta metro area, and a number of states from southern Alabama to South Carolina, North Carolina, and Kentucky. More than 5700 people reported feeling the earthquake on the USGS homepage summary. There were however no immediate reports of damage or injuries. This quake was one of the strongest on record in east Tennessee, exceeded only by a November 30, 1973 near Maryville, south of Knoxville which lead to minor damage near the epicenter. The quake appeared to occur along the Eastern Tennessee Seismic Zone, a southwest-to-northeast belt extending from Alabama to far southwest Virginia that is the second-most active quake zone in the central and eastern U.S. behind the more notorious New Madrid zone. A 2014 USGS study bumped a portion of the ETSZ to a higher risk of earthquakes, though not nearly as high as the New Madrid zone in the western part of Tennessee and other adjacent states. Though quakes stronger than M4.7 have not been recorded in recent times, a 2017 study in the Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America found evidence of a M6 or stronger temblor along the ETSZ within the last 25,000 years. Earthquakes in the central and eastern U.S. can be felt over an area more than 10 times larger than a similar magnitude quake in the West, according to the USGS. [USGS, USGS1, Weather]

Will This Year Be Our Last “Real” Christmas? If “They” Have Their Way it Might Be!!

Tuesday, December 11, 2018 11:37

“Merry Christmas” – With those two words I’ve just triggered thousands of snowflakes and millennialists. Sadly, many Christmas songs, celebrations and icons are falling prey to a generation of politically correct “Thought Police.” A campaign is being waged to create one large national safe space and none of our beloved Christmas songs are invited to the party. Unfortunately, the war on Christmas has exploded! All that and more below…

European Court of Human Rights Blasphemy Laws: Where a Word out of Place Can Cost Your Life

by Denis MacEoin December 11, 2018 at 5:00 am

The European Court of Human Rights ruled that criticism of Muhammad constitutes incitement to hatred -- meaning that in Europe, criticizing Muhammad is no longer protected free speech. What the court has actually done, however, is rule out the possibility of any debate in which a range of various experts and members of the public could take part. Now, it seems, the only views that will be respected in the public forum are those of devout Muslims. Underage marriages are considered by some countries child abuse or statutory rape, but are acceptable under shari'a law; they also take place in Muslim communities in Western countries such as the UK. This alone is a major reason why platforms must be found to debate the issue instead of sweeping it, as something offensive, under the carpet. Ignoring it is offensive. Moreover, as some Muslims are often offended by even small matters regarding their faith, such as a toy teddy bear named Mohammad or a prisoner on death row declared innocent -- so that mobs take to the streets to condemn, or even kill, those individuals -- what now will not be censored in the West? There are, of course, social settings where it pays to watch your words. Saying you fancy the looks of a mafioso's new girlfriend could well prove fatal. Spending time with a bunch of Hamas terrorists while expressing your love for Israel might not lead to your premature demise. In London today, young men who make remarks or play music to other youths on the street can wind up stabbed to death. A recent comment on The Independent website claims, "In this country [the UK], some views, regardless of how valid and logical, can result in anything from public rebuke to loss of a job to violence." For the most part, we learn how to avoid words or actions that may offend someone or some group, especially if it is known to be prone to violence. Yet these misfortunes are rare and we live our lives on the assumption that in democratic countries, we can speak freely within the norms of civil society. We recognize that in many countries, racist, homophobic, antisemitic, or "Islamophobic" hate speech can be reported to the police and lead to the arrest and eventual trial of the speaker. The United States' First Amendment to its Constitution protects its citizens from prosecution for free speech, except where there is a credible threat of "Imminent lawless action." If angry exchanges take place, they are just a consequence of living in countries where free speech and unfettered opinion are cherished. We have seen what happens in countries where there is no free speech –as the Soviet Union or present day Pakistan (here, here and here); it often is not pretty and in much of the West is regarded as well worth the trade-off. Particular sensitivities surround religious ideas, and histories. Nowhere is this more apparent today than in the instance of Islam, where anything untoward, especially statements that even a few people may consider blasphemous -- such as young schoolchildren naming a toy teddy bear Mohammad, a common enough name in the Sudan -- might be treated as criminal offences. In the West, within secular democratic states, most churches mercifully appear no longer interested in controlling matters such as blasphemy. When I lived in the Irish Republic in the 1960s and early 1970s, the Catholic Church held a tight grip on society. Books were banned, including by James Joyce, D.H. Lawrence and all of Sigmund Freud. Films and plays were also banned or censored. The intolerant ban on Catholics studying at Trinity College Dublin perpetuated injustice. Since the 1960s, however, we now have same-sex marriage, women's right to abortion, and an openly gay Taoiseach (Prime Minister). This year, on October 6, a majority of the Irish voted in a referendum to abolish the blasphemy law that had been in its constitution since 1937. The country has liberalized remarkably. Ironically, while Ireland's 2010 blasphemy law was still technically on the books (although never actually implemented ), the 57-state Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) – consisting of 56 mostly Muslim states plus "Palestine" -- cited it in 2009 during an attempt to impose an international blasphemy law on the UN. Also in 2009, the government had passed a new Irish Defamation Act that contained a full definition of the blasphemy law (the one abolished this year). This vote took place during a committee meeting for the 13th session of the UN Human Rights Council. The proposal, made on behalf of the OIC by Pakistan, used the Irish definition:

38.1 States parties shall prohibit by law the uttering of matters that are grossly abusive or insulting in relation to matters held sacred by any religion thereby causing outrage among a substantial number of the adherents to that religion. We do not know if the principal motivation for the OIC came less from a concern about religions that Muslims might consider entirely false, abrogated and inferior, such as Judaism or Christianity, or more from a concern that no one should be allowed to criticize Islam. In any event, Ireland finally woke up to the injustice of its blasphemy law, and the damage it was doing to its growing reputation as a country purporting to observe human rights. Figures for blasphemy laws worldwide were recently cited by the Pew Research Center in its 2016 report on "Trends in Global Restrictions on Religion": We found that laws restricting apostasy and blasphemy are most common in the Middle East and North Africa, where 18 of the region's 20 countries (90%) criminalize blasphemy and 14 (70%) criminalize apostasy. While apostasy laws exist in only two other regions of the world – Asia-Pacific and sub-Saharan Africa – blasphemy laws can be found in all regions, including Europe (in 16% of countries) and the Americas (29%). Possibly a better way of expressing concerns about blasphemy laws is to list the 30 Islamic countries that have such regulations, 13 of them imposing the death penalty for the offence. Here they are, in alphabetical order. Some offer life imprisonment. The ones in bold print carry death sentences: Afghanistan Algeria Bahrain Brunei Egypt Indonesia

Iran Iraq Jordan Kuwait Lebanon Libya Mauritania Malaysia Maldives Morocco Nigeria Oman

Pakistan Palestinian territories Qatar Saudi Arabia Senegal Somalia Sudan Tunisia Turkey United Arab Emirates (UAE) Western Sahara Yemen With this disturbing list in mind, let us consider at least one dangerous development in Europe. More than one Western country is bringing forth legislation that will allow Islamic blasphemy laws in through the back door. In 2017, Canada passed Motion M-103, regarded as a shari'a blasphemy law forbidding free speech about Islam. Although at this stage it is "non-binding, one of its supporters, Samer Majzoub, president of the Canadian Muslim Forum and affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, wrote, "Now that Islamophobia has been condemned, this is not the end, but rather the beginning." The most recent and glaring of these initiatives involves not a country, but the supranational, unaccountable European Court of Human Rights, a body that issues rulings enforceable in all 57 countries of the OIC that are signatories to the European Convention on Human Rights. Forty-seven of the signatory states are members of the Council of Europe, which is different from the 28-state European Union (although all EU states also belong within the Council). There are, as well, other bodies to be taken into consideration – ones that open up another Pandora's Box. Even though the primary focus of the Council of Europe is the wide network of its member states, it also has close links to, and shares activities with, a large range of international institutions. Through a variety of conventions and treaties, it helps set legal standards for those states, both members and non-members. Those non-member states include many familiar Western countries such as the USA, Canada, Israel, and Australia among others. These are states in which the values in areas such as human rights are closely aligned to those of the European member states. Many of the Council's conventions concern human rights, the protection of democracy, and the prevention of racial and other forms of intolerance. The Council of Europe also engages with a variety of Muslim states, many of which are included on the list above of countries that enact laws on blasphemy. At a minimum, these include Algeria, Lebanon, Malaysia, Mauritania, Morocco, Senegal, and Tunisia. The Council also has several other conventions on human rights, including

The European Convention on Human Rights

The European Committee for the Prevention of Torture

The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance

The Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings

The Convention on the Protection of Children against Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse (The Lanzarote Convention)

The Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence These and other positions of the COE clearly align with, and develop, the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and are solidly founded within modern Western democratic values. The Council has set out its human rights principles in its Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. Article 9 of that Convention deals with "Freedom of Thought, conscience and religion"

"1. Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief, in worship, teaching, practice and observance.

"2. Freedom to manifest one's religion or beliefs shall be subject only to such limitations as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society in the interests of public safety, for the protection of public order, health or morals, or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others."

The following article (10) deals with Freedom of Expression. It begins: "Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers." However, its second part does permit restrictions: "in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others." Of relevance to some of the Islamic states referred to above, Protocol 6 of the Convention deals with the abolition of the death penalty. The Protocol in Article 1 states that: "The death penalty shall be abolished. No one shall be condemned to such penalty or executed." With these background facts, it is important to look at what happened on October 25 this year when the European Court of Human Rights issued its verdict on a case involving an Austrian woman, called Mrs. S., presumably Elisabeth Sabadtisch-Wolff, and an appeal she had made to the court to protect her right to free speech over a sensitive but factually correct issue concerning the Prophet Muhammad. There is no room here for a full account of the woman in question, but readers may consult the details by the Soeren Kern here and here. What it amounts to is that Mrs. Sabaditsch-Wolff had given seminars about Islam in which she had drawn attention to the well-attested fact that Muhammad had married one of his eleven official wives, A'isha, when she was six, and consummated the marriage when she was nine. He apparently continued to have sexual relations with her until his death in 632, when she would have been eighteen. Sabaditsch-Wolff was reported to the authorities for claiming that Muhammad "liked to do it with children. A 56-year-old and a 6-year-old? . . . What do we call it, if it is not pedophilia?". She was arrested and tried in 2009 through 2011, sentenced for "denigration of religious beliefs of a legally recognized religion", fined €480 ($625) and threatened with three months in prison. She appealed to Vienna's Provincial Appellate Court, which turned her down. Finally, she took her appeal to the European Court of Human Rights. That court, which reported on October 25, 2018, ruled that criticism of Muhammad constitutes incitement to hatred -- meaning that in Europe, criticizing Muhammad is no longer protected free speech. In their judgement, the judges wrote that defamation of Muhammad "goes beyond the permissible limits of an objective debate" and "could stir up prejudice and put at risk religious peace." The judgement will have an ongoing negative impact not only on Sabaditsch-Wolff, who will carry a criminal record for the rest of her life, with the resulting serious effects on her career and other matters, but all of the West, as well. It has certainly banned her and others from exercising their right to free speech asserted in the Convention of the Council of Europe. Now, it could well be argued, as the ECHR did, that Sabaditsch-Wolff expressed her concerns about Muhammad's sexuality without due attention to the historical and cultural context within which his marriage to A'isha took place. The ECHR did indeed argue this. The ECHR cited the Judgement of the Austrian courts: "The national courts found that Mrs S. had subjectively labelled Muhammad with pedophilia as his general sexual preference, and that she failed to neutrally inform her audience of the historical background, which consequently did not allow for a serious debate on that issue." What the court has actually done, however, is rule out the possibility of any debate in which a range of various experts and members of the public could take part, to exchange views on a clearly controversial and unresolved subject. Now, it seems, the only views that will be respected in the public forum are those of devout Muslims. The ECHR ruling also, unfortunately, will have an even wider impact across Europe and the world. The present writer, unlike Sabaditsch-Wolff, has a doctorate in Islamic studies and languages. If I were to refer to the original Arabic texts of the sacred traditions (ahadith) in which the story of Muhammad's marriage and sexual relations with A'isha -- texts officially held to be factually correct by all Sunni Muslims -- might I too now be put on trial for the same offence? Or if I were to write an article giving details of the approximately 40 individuals who were assassinated for having insulted the prophet on Muhammad's direct orders or whose assassinations were approved by him? What if, in the article, I also added comments on what this might indicate, backed up by chapter and verse of the Muslim histories and sacred traditions that record them, should I then be brought before a court, sentenced, fined or sent to prison? Will no academic or well-informed individual in future be able to say anything about Muhammad, or will that now be legally prohibited? Moreover, as some Muslims are often offended by even small matters regarding their faith, such as a toy teddy bear named Mohammad or a prisoner on death row declared innocent -- so that mobs take to the streets to condemn, or even kill, those individuals -- what now will not be censored in the West? It may well be suggested that Muhammad's sexual preferences are matters of purely historical interest, but in many Muslim countries, the proper age for marriage is determined, not according to the standards of the ECHR or other international bodies, but on the strength of the firmly established sacred traditions that help form the basis, alongside the Qur'an and the ahadith, of Shari'a law. In many countries, child brides are still commonplace, often in marriages that are forced – as, for instance here, here, here and here. In some Muslim countries, such as Yemen, marriages at early ages are not uncommon and may be justified by reference to Muhammad's sexual relations with A'isha at the ages of 9. Underage marriages, considered by some countries child abuse or statutory rape, but acceptable under shari'a law, also take place in Muslim communities in Western countries such as the UK. This alone is a major reason why platforms must be found to debate the issue instead of sweeping it, as something offensive, under the carpet. Ignoring it is offensive. As noted earlier, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation has been trying for years to persuade the UN Human Rights Council to adopt a general blasphemy law that will block anything deemed by someone as critical of one faith alone-- namely Islam. A few weeks ago, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan informed the UN of an initiative for an international campaign to criminalize criticism of Islam. This year, a significant and influential Western human rights court has shown the future potentially in store for us. It is not hard to imagine that the OIC is already making plans to employ the ECHR as its agency of choice for officially introducing the law it has coveted for so long: "Defamation of religion," meaning just one faith, Islam. There do not seem any plans afoot to stop criticizing Christians or Jews, or Christianity or Judaism. If the ECHR builds a foundation for universal censorship, how long will it be before the UN Human Rights Council, pressured by its Islamic state members, will fall in line? I already wrote about this possible threat to all of us: The chief threat to free speech today comes from a combination of radical Islamic censorship and Western political correctness... [W]e are free to call to account any religion from Christianity to Scientology, Judaism to any cult we choose.... It used to be possible to do this with Islam as well.... But many Muslim bodies -- notably the 57-member-state Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) -- have been working hard for years to render Islam the only religion, political system and ideology in the world that may not be questioned with impunity. They have tried -- and are in many respects succeeding -- to ring-fence Islam as a creed beyond criticism, while reserving for themselves the right to condemn Christians, Jews, Hindus, democrats, liberals, women, gays, or anyone else in often vile, even violent language. Should anyone say anything that seems to them disrespectful of their faith, he or she will at once be declared an "Islamophobe". Barely two and a half years later, that may soon come to pass. We need to take swift collective action to fight this death to free speech that such initiatives pose to freedoms that we revere in the West and to which so many millions elsewhere aspire.

USAF Confirms: Chinese Stealth Jet In Georgia Is A Mock-Up For War Preparations

by Tyler Durden  Tue, 12/11/2018 - 19:45

Last Thursday, the Aviationist tweeted a photo of a mysterious combat aircraft which resembled a fifth-generation Chinese fighter jet, claiming the photo was taken at the Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport, a commercial and military-use airport in Savannah, Georgia, on Wednesday, December 05. For several days, wild theories circulated social media channels, of why a Chinese stealth jet was parked on the tarmac of a Georgian military base.  It turns out the aircraft is real, but only a mock-up for use by the US Marine Corps (USMC), “It is a full-scale replica and remained at the Air Dominance Center for a short period during the week of 4-6 Dec. The USMC is funding and directing the training objectives of this device […] Col. Emmanuel Haldopoulos, Commander of the Savannah Air Dominance Center, wrote the Aviationist in an email. Haldopoulos did not specify the role of the mock-up stealth jet, but there is a reason to believe that the US military is preparing its pilots for an aerial battle over the South China Sea. The photo caused huge speculation when the Aviationist published the story last Thursday. A civilian spotter who asked to remain anonymous shot the photo from public property. Social media pundits viewed the photo and offered wide-ranging theories on what the aircraft was doing on an American military base. Many incorrectly questioned if the picture was authentic, some suggested the photo may have been altered or Photoshopped. Before the Air Force confirmed the USMC-owned J-20 mock-up, Chinese Defense subject matter expert, Andreas Rupprecht, said the plane's exhaust nozzles looked inaccurate and the landing gear was different from a real J-20 stealth fighter jet. These observations confirmed the aircraft was a mock-up and not a real J-20. The J-20 mock-up hints that the US is preparing its pilots of F-22 Raptors and F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighters for possible future dogfights with China. The Chinese stealth fighter showed off its missile bays last month at an airshow in southern China. The J-20's chief designer recently said the world has yet to see the best that the aircraft has to offer. The J-20 mock-up shows the American military is taking the Chinese threat seriously, as the Pentagon prepares for war.

DARPA should send chills up your spine when you hear the name mentioned. When you hear this broadcast and learn what they deem as ‘disadvantages’ of the U.S. over China you will go from fear to anger. Our pesky ‘privacy’ laws hinder their ability to defend us…are they serious!?! Unfortunately, of course, they are. The globalist, demonic cabal has spread its wings even further and it reaches further and flies faster towards the overall destruction of our great Nation. Now however the battle is emanating from within and it seeks to tear about the very fabric of our Republic while assuring we are all made slaves to the NWO Government plan.

Hezbollah wages psychological war against the IDF

Terror organization publishes videos and photos showing IDF soldiers working along the Lebanese border, reporting on the locations of the troops and the tools they use, while the IDF distributes recording of the noise of tunnel digging.

Ynet reporters |Published: 12.11.18 , 13:27

The psychological warfare between Israel and Hezbollah intensifies as Operation Northern Shield enters its second week. The Shiite terror organization has been releasing footage of IDF troops operating in the Israeli enclave along the Lebanese border, while the IDF published Monday a recording of the sounds of tunnel diggings. Hezbollah's media outlets take pictures and video of IDF soldiers and the engineering equipment they are using to locate and neutralize cross-border tunnels the terror organization has constructed along the Israel-Lebanon border, while elaborating on the location of the Israeli forces, the nature of their activity, the weapons they carry and the tools they use. These reports, in addition to documenting Lebanese army activity along the border, are meant to send a message that even though Hezbollah has yet to officially comment on the operation, the Shiite organization is closely monitoring it. Meanwhile, Hezbollah's spokespeople distributed a map detailing the exact locations the IDF forces are operating in. Hezbollah said that the engineering works are being carried out in five locations: Kafr Kela, Meiss Ej Jabal, Belida, Ramiyeh, and Ayta ash Shab. The terror group also released a video showing IDF soldiers working during the night in the Kafr Kela area with the caption "The tunnels nightmare kept them awake." A reporter for the Hezbollah's Al-Manar TV channel posted a photo of an IDF soldier with the IWI Negev light machine gun bearing the caption: "I swear this is worth more than the FN MAG (machine gun)," in reference to the MAGs that were stolen over the weekend from the IDF. Southern Lebanon's villagers were photographed near the IDF's operation sites, but there have been no clashes with the IDF or border-breaching incidents. In an effort to show daily life in Lebanon continues uninterrupted by the IDF operation, an Al-Manar reporter posted photos of Lebanese residents having a picnic with media teams near the IDF's work sites. Furthermore, a Hezbollah officer told the Lebanese newspaper Al Akhbar that "The enemy is not becoming weaker. However, those facing him are becoming stronger." On Tuesday, Hezbollah released a video of an IDF robot operating near the tunnel stretching from Kafr Kela into Israel. The video shows one of the soldiers pulling the robot out of an opening in the ground with a rope. Former General Staff Corps Commander, Maj. Gen. (res.) Gershon Hacohen, told Ynet that Hezbollah uses the documentation of IDF troops to learn the army's modus operandi. According to Hacohen, Hezbollah's activity again raises the question where the border between Israel and Lebanon really lies. "We are stationed along the fence, as determined by the United Nations. The fence cannot exactly overlap with the border drawn on the map, since the terrain is rocky. Therefore, both we and Lebanon claim ownership over the same territory. Lebanon wants to see this as a cause for war," he said. Speaking about the IDF's activity in the Israeli enclave along the border, Hacohen said that "Those enclaves posed a problem, since we manned our posts after the Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon in 2000." "The Lebanese army is supposed to do its job on the border, but we see it is not only looking the other way, but also cooperating with Hezbollah," he explained. "The IDF is very wise and acts with extreme caution. It seeks to conduct the operation with full legitimacy both from the Israeli society and the international community," he went on to say. "As long as we act to protect Israel in its sovereign territory, the other side will be responsible if the situation escalates. It's very important to go into an escalation when it's clear to all who has the legitimacy and the right to defend himself," he stated. So far, two tunnels crossing from Lebanon to Israel have been discovered, one of which near the Israeli town of Metula. The IDF is studying the tunnels before destroying them, among other things in an effort to determine whether their neutralization will require activity on Lebanese territory. Meanwhile, fighters in the Yahalom special elite combat engineering unit are deployed in the area, operating seismic sensors that are transmitting data to the technological laboratory to analyze in an effort to find tunnels. Last week, the IDF said the lab in the north is much bigger than the lab located in the Gaza Division, which over the past year and a half uncovered 17 Hamas terror tunnels.

Palestinians: Qatar seeking to establish Palestinian state in Gaza

Palestinian officials on Tuesday accused Qatar of working toward establishing a “separate Palestinian state."

By Khaled Abu Toameh December 11, 2018 19:53

Palestinian officials on Tuesday accused Qatar of working toward establishing a “separate Palestinian state” in the Gaza Strip and called for the expulsion of the emirate’s envoy, Mohammed Al-Emadi. Some officials described the Qatari envoy as the “military commander of the Gaza Strip” and the “new high commissioner” - a reference to United Kingdom’s High Commissioner during the British Mandate for Palestine and Transjordan. The accusations came after Al-Emadi was quoted as saying that he had proposed the establishment of an airport in the Gaza Strip, but had received no response from Israel. “They (Israel) said it would be discussed and they procrastinated..  We will renew our request,” he told a Gaza-based news agency. “The Israeli side had security concerns and we told them we can resolve them by having the planes fly to Doha and return to Gaza from there and under Qatari security supervision.” Last week, Al-Emadi delivered the second payment of $15 million Qatari grant to the Gaza Strip - a move that has also drawn sharp criticism from a number of Palestinian officials, including top PLO officials in Ramallah. “Qatar is seeking to create a separate Palestinian state in the Gaza Strip as part of an Israeli and American scheme to destroy the Palestinian national project,” a senior advisor to PA President Mahmoud Abbas told The Jerusalem Post. “Qatar’s actions are aimed at paving the way for the implementation of US President Donald Trump’s deal of the century.” The “deal of the century” refers to Trump’s yet-to-be-announced plan for peace in the Middle East. The PA, Hamas and other Palestinian groups have rejected the unseen plan and denounced it as a “conspiracy designed to liquidate the Palestinian cause and establish an independent Palestinian state in the Gaza Strip. The official said that Abbas was “following with deep concern" Qatar’s increased meddling in the internal affairs of the Palestinians. Qatar, the official argued, is “consolidating divisions among the Palestinians and playing a very suspicious role in the region.” Commenting on the Qatari envoy’s proposal to build an airport in the Gaza Strip, PLO official Mohammed Majdalani said that this was an “assault on Palestinian sovereignty.” Majdalani accused Qatar of meddling in the internal affairs of the Palestinians. “Our brothers in Qatar are unaware of the repercussions and dangers of this intervention in Palestinian internal affairs,” he told the Palestinian news source Al-Watan Voice. “They are unaware that their interference will deepen divisions among the Palestinians.” The PLO official called on Qatar to reconsider its “harmful and unacceptable policy.” He added that “if Qatar cares about Palestine, ending the occupation and establishing a Palestinian state, it should not meddle in our affairs. The PLO’s policy is not to intervene in the internal affairs of any party. This intervention emboldens Hamas and encourages it to reject efforts to achieve national reconciliation [with Fatah]. It also encourages Hamas to become part of the deal of the century.” Munir Al-Jaghoub, a senior Fatah official, also accused Qatar of meddling in the internal affairs of the Palestinians by proposing the building of an airport in the Gaza Strip. The Palestinians, he said, are categorically opposed to this form of intervention. “Obviously, matters are moving in an unsound direction with regards to dealing with the Palestinian cause,” the Fatah official added. Al-Jaghoub said that if Qatar really wanted to help the Palestinians, it should work toward establishing a passage between the West Bank and Gaza Strip "in order to reconnect the Palestinians with each other." The proposed airport, he complained, will further separate the Gaza Strip from the West Bank. Mahmoud Al-Zaq, a senior representative of the Palestinian Popular Struggle Front, a small group that is affiliated with the PLO, also accused Qatar of working toward establishing a “separate Palestinian political entity” in the Gaza Strip. Qatar, he claimed, was also seeking to create an alternative to the PLO, the “sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people.” Al-Zaq told an online newspaper in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) that Qatar’s goal was to help pass “suspicious schemes” against the Palestinians. In June 2017, the UAE, along with Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Bahrain, severed ties with Qatar, accusing it of supporting terrorism. “Qatar and its envoy, Al-Emadi, are exploiting the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip to pass American and Israeli schemes,” Al-Zaq charged. “The Qatari funds have prolonged the life of the Palestinian split [between the West Bank and Gaza Strip] and seek to turn it into separation. This is a dangerous attempt that should be confronted by the Palestinians and Arabs. Qatar is the US administration’s tool for passing the suspicious deal of the century." Hassan Asfour, a former PA minister and member of the Palestinian Legislative Council, called on the Hamas leadership to expel Al-Emadi, whom he described as the “new overall military commander of the Gaza Strip.” The Hamas leadership, he said, “should expel this military commander, who is also acting as a high commissioner and broker,” Asfour said in an article published by the Palestinian website Amad. “This high commissioner is playing a decadent role, and the Palestinians have ever permitted anyone to play such a role.” Asfour said that Al-Emadi has become Hamas’s “chief negotiator” with Israel. He also lashed out at Hamas over its “silence” regarding the proposed airport. “This silence proves that the idea is acceptable to Hamas, and that he is officially authorized to negotiate on behalf of Hamas with Israel to reach a political arrangement behind the back of the Palestinians. The Hamas leadership should ask him to leave the Gaza Strip immediately and not to return.” Walid Al-Awad, a senior representative of the Palestinian People’s Party, formerly the Palestinian Communist Party, called on the Palestinians to declare Al-Emadi persona non grata. “High Commissioner Mohammed Al-Emadi is acting as if the Gaza Strip was a Qatari protectorate,” he said.

Iran confirms missile test in defiance of U.S.

Babak Dehghanpisheh

GENEVA (Reuters) - A senior Iranian military commander has confirmed that Tehran recently carried out a ballistic missile test, to the anger of the United States, the Fars news agency said on Tuesday. The Revolutionary Guards official’s comment came after U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s assertion earlier this month that Iran had test-fired a missile capable of carrying multiple warheads and reaching the Middle East and Europe. “We will continue our missile tests and this recent action was an important test,” Guards aerospace division head Amirali Hajizadeh was quoted as saying by the semi-official Fars news agency. “The reaction of the Americans shows that this test was very important for them and that’s why they were shouting,” he added, without specifying what type of missile had been tested. The U.N. Security Council met last week to discuss the test, which the United States, Britain and France said flouted U.N. restrictions on Tehran’s military program. U.S. President Donald Trump pulled out of an international agreement on Iran’s nuclear program in May and reimposed sanctions on Tehran. He said the deal was flawed because it did not include curbs on Iran’s development of ballistic missiles or its support for proxies in Syria, Yemen, Lebanon and Iraq. Iran has ruled out negotiations with Washington over its military capabilities, particularly the missile program run by the Guards. It says the program is purely defensive and denies missiles are capable of being tipped with nuclear warheads. Hajizadeh said Iran holds up to 50 missile tests a year. “The issue of missiles has never been subject to negotiations and nothing has been approved or ratified about its prohibition for the Islamic Republic of Iran in (U.N.) resolution 2231,” Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said on Tuesday, according to the Tasnim news agency. “Our defense doctrine is basically founded upon deterrence.” Under U.N. Security Council Resolution 2231, which enshrined the nuclear deal in 2015, Iran is “called upon” to refrain from work on ballistic missiles designed to deliver nuclear weapons for up to eight years. Some states argue the language does not make it obligatory. Last month, Hajizadeh said U.S. bases in Afghanistan, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, and U.S. aircraft carriers in the Gulf were within range of Iranian missiles. The head of the Guards, Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari, said on Tuesday the United States was becoming weaker. “American power is declining,” Jafari said, according to Fars. “The enemies don’t dare bring up the issue of overthrowing the Islamic Republic and they will take this wish to the grave.” In October, the Revolutionary Guards fired missiles at Islamic State militants in Syria after the Islamist group said it was responsible for an attack at a military parade in Iran that killed 25 people, nearly half of them Guards members.

Russia scoffs at US criticism of bomber deployment to Venezuela

Massive Tu-160 bomber is capable of carrying conventional or nuclear-tipped cruise missiles with a range of 5,550km.

23 hours ago

Moscow has rejected US criticism of the deployment to Venezuela of two Russian nuclear-capable strategic bombers. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo responded to Monday's arrival of a pair of Tu-160 aircraft in Venezuela by tweeting: "The Russian and Venezuelan people should see this for what it is: two corrupt governments squandering public funds and squelching liberty and freedom while their people suffer." Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, dismissed Pompeo's comments as "undiplomatic" and "inappropriate". He told reporters on Tuesday such criticism sounds odd from a country "half of whose military budget would be enough to feed the whole of Africa". The bombers' deployment comes amid soaring Russia-US tensions. Russian-US ties have sunk to post-Cold War lows over Ukraine, the war in Syria, and allegations of Russian meddling in the 2016 US presidential election. Blackjack US gives Russia 60 days to comply with nuclear treaty (2:02) Russia's defence ministry said a pair of Tu-160 bombers landed on Monday at Maiquetia airport outside Caracas following a 10,000-km flight. It didn't say if the bombers were carrying any weapons and didn't say how long they will stay in Venezuela. The ministry said the bombers were shadowed by Norwegian F-18 fighter jets during part of their flight. The Tu-160 is capable of carrying conventional or nuclear-tipped cruise missiles with a range of 5,500km. Code-named Blackjack by NATO, the massive warplane is capable of flying at twice the speed of sound. Russia has upgraded its Tu-160 fleet with new weapons and electronics and it plans to produce a modernised version of the bomber. Economic aid The deployment follows Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro's visit to Moscow last week, in a bid to shore up political and economic assistance, as his country struggles to pay billions of dollars owed to Russia. Russia is a major political ally of Venezuela, which has become increasingly isolated internationally under growing sanctions led by the United States and the European Union, which accuse Maduro of undermining democratic institutions to hold on to power while overseeing an economic and political crisis that is worse than the Great Depression. Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said at last week's meeting with his Venezuelan counterpart, Vladimir Padrino Lopez, that Russia would continue to send its military aircraft and warships to visit Venezuela as part of bilateral military cooperation. Asked about the Russian bombers, Colonel Rob Manning, a Pentagon spokesman, said he had no specific information. However, Manning cited the humanitarian assistance provided in Central and South America by a US Navy hospital ship, the USNS Comfort, over the past eight weeks. Numerous Venezuelan migrants were among the people who received medical and dental treatment. "Contrast this with Russia, whose approach to the manmade disaster in Venezuela is to send bomber aircraft instead of humanitarian assistance," Manning said.

House Democrats Plan Push to Criminalize Private Gun Sales

House Democrats plan to introduce legislation criminalizing private gun sales once the new Congress is in session. Mother Jones reports that Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA) met with gun control groups that included the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, Everytown for Gun Safety, the Center for American Progress, the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, and Gabby Giffords’ group. He asked them what they wanted, and a bill to criminalize private gun sales was on their wish list. So Thompson will sponsor legislation requiring a background check before someone may buy a gun from his neighbor, a co-worker to get a background check before buying a gun from a co-worker, and so forth. The bill will go so far as to require a son to get a background check before a father can give him a gun as a gift. Private gun sales are legal and have been an American tradition since 1791, the year the Second Amendment was ratified. Ironically, a ban on private sales would not have stopped a single mass shooting witnessed to this point in the 21st century because nearly every mass shooter acquires his guns at retail via a background check. The exceptions to the rule are the mass shooters who steal their guns. While the Democrats’ gun control push will not prevent mass shootings, it will criminalize a grandfather for passing his goose gun to his grandson without government permission. It will also criminalize a mother who gives her college-age daughter a revolver for self-defense without first getting government permission.

A series of sexual attacks against teenage and even preteen schoolgirls, with the suspected involvement by migrants from the Middle East, has shaken Finland, prompting condemnation from top-ranking politicians including Prime Minister Juha Sipilä and President Sauli Niinistö. A group of eight immigrants suspected of brutally raping and sexually assaulting schoolgirls over a prolonged period of time have been arrested in the Finnish town of Oulu. According to the police all the men came to Finland as asylum seekers or refugees, some from the Middle East, national broadcaster Yle reported.  The alleged abusers are aged 18-40, whereas their victims were all aged under 15, with the youngest only 10 years of age. At least some of those detained have already received Finnish citizenship. "We are talking about a period several months", police commissioner Markus Kiiskinen told the newspaper Kaleva. "The suspected crimes are extremely violent and are exceptionally high-level", Kiiskinen added. Oulu deputy police chief Arto Karnaranta admitted that he has never seen anything similar in his nearly 38-year-long career as a police officer. "It constitutes extremely serious aggression against minors. I haven't seen anything similar in my entire career", Karnaranta said. Deputy police chief Karnaranta urged the public in Oulu to keep calm and not to take matters into their own hands, but instead let the police handle the case.

More arrests are expected, according to the Oulu Police Department. Prime Minister Juha Sipilä condemned the terrible sexual assault, calling the events "outrageous", as well as an "inhuman act of incomprehensible evil" in a tweet. In an official statement, Sipilä elaborated that a number of foreigners are suspected of "the worst crime" against children under the age of 15. Sipilä called integrity a "fundamentally important issue", pledging that criminals will receive their due sentences regardless of their ethnicity. The prime minister also stressed that penalties for sexual offences against children must be in line with people's perception, stressing that a bill to increase punishment has been submitted to parliament. This message was in effect echoed by President Sauli Niinistö, who called the crimes "shocking in their inhumanity", the daily newspaper Ilta Sanomat reported. According to Niinistö, Finland must muster strength to fight this "evil". "This should not be happening in Finland", Interior Minister Kai Mykkänen told the newspaper Iltalehti. Mykkänen said that Finnish society must "find ways to prevent similar cases" and claimed harsher sentencing one of the ways to go.

"Education and work are of course already being done for integration, but we still have to look at what can be required more clearly in the attitudes, looking into ways in which those who move here can become committed to our values", Mykkänen said. "Sometimes it feels like nothing can shock you, but this case certainly does", law professor Johanna Niemi of Turku University said. The Finnish government is currently working on toughening punishment for sexual crimes where children are victimised, as well as a new legislation that would allow quicker deportation of criminal foreigners. According to Statistics Finland, foreign nationals are disproportionately represented in sex crime statistics. In 2017, 693 Finnish citizens were suspected of rape, compared with 286 foreign nationals.

Satanic Sculpture Installed at the Illinois Statehouse

A sculpture submitted by the Satanic Temple is on display at the Illinois Statehouse alongside a Christmas tree and a Nativity scene.

Published 6 days ago on December 5, 2018 By Vigilant Citizen

The Illinois Statehouse installed several holiday decorations this year: A Nativity scene depicting the birth of Jesus, a Christmas tree, a Menorah and … a Satanic sculpture. Entitled “Snaketivity”, the display depicts a snake wrapped around a woman’s hand as she holds an apple. On the side of the sculpture is the logo of the Satanic Temple – the head of Baphomet inside an inverted pentagram – and the words “Knowledge is the Greatest Gift”. The symbolism of this sculpture refers to the book of Genesis and goes to the very core of Luciferian philosophy. It represents Eve grabbing the “forbidden fruit” of knowledge that was given to her by Lucifer who took the form of a serpent. Lucifer told Eve that biting the fruit would allow Adam and herself to become “like gods, knowing good and evil”. This is known as the “original sin” which God to expel Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden. To Luciferians, the serpent is not a deceiver but a “savior” who allowed humanity to access the knowledge required to achieve divinity through its own means. The marking under the sculpture saying “Knowledge is the Greatest Gift” refers to the “gift” given from Lucifer to man in the form of divine knowledge. This interpretation of the book of Genesis has been, for centuries, a core difference between theistic religions and occult schools. Despite the very biblical meaning of its display, the Satanic Temple insists that its goal is not about proselytizing for its own religion. Next to the sculpture, the Satanic Temple also installed an also inscription saying: “Religion is but myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds”.  In a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for the sculpture, the Satanic Temple wrote: “The Satanic Temple—Chicago will no longer allow one religious perspective to dominate the discourse in the Illinois State Capitol rotunda during the holiday season. … Please consider what you may do to help us bring Satan to Springfield!” Another sign near the sculpture contains a disclaimer from the state: “The State of Illinois is required by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution to allow temporary, public displays in the state capitol so long as these displays are not paid for by taxpayer dollars. Because the first floor of the Capitol Rotunda is a public place, state officials cannot legally censor the content of speech or displays. The United States Supreme Court has held that public officials may legally impose reasonable time, place and manner restrictions regarding displays and speeches, but no regulation can be based on the content of the speech.” Dave Druker, the spokesman for the secretary of state, confirmed that the Chicago-based Satanic Temple had the right to place its sculpture on display inside the statehouse. “Under the Constitution, the First Amendment, people have a right to express their feelings, their thoughts. This recognizes that.” Satanic PR This is not the first PR stunt conducted by the Satanic Temple. And, every time the Temple does something, media sources make sure to emphasize that the Satanic Temple is “not a group of devil worshipers, but liberal political activists who oppose the increasing influence of the religious right in American politics”. However, despite its venerable speeches about its “principles” and “separating church and state”, all it actually accomplishes is having Satanic stuff put on display in public spaces. Here are some examples of its stunts. In 2015, the Satanic Temple unveiled a massive statue of Baphomet in Detroit in what was dubbed “the largest satanic event in history”. The unveiling took place in an industrial building near Detroit River after attempts to have the Baphomet sculpture installed at the Oklahoma State Capitol failed. Entry to the venue required guests to sign a contract “selling their souls to the devil”. The proceeds from the event went to support abortion rights – one of the Temple’s favorite causes. In 2016, the Satanic Temple created an after-school program called After School Satan. The program is up-and-running in several cities across the United States, including Atlanta, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, Pensacola, Washington, D.C., Tucson, Springfield, MO, Seattle, WA, and Portland, OR. The Satanic Temple is also working on other projects. The West Michigan Friends of The Satanic Temple are currently raising money on a GoFundMe page to bring their own “Satanic holiday monument” to the Michigan state Capitol. “The concept is a clean, bold shape of the Baphomet head as a star with solar LED lights shining up from the base for striking shadow and light, a flickering light emanating from the flame of universal balance will make the lines between them dance. A nearly complete halo will connect the horns and ears but stop at the bottom to represent the inherent imperfection of the material form but also allowing the mouth of Baphomet to interact with the base to indicate the sharing of worldly knowledge.” Although media love to say that the Satanic Temple is about “science” and “rationality”, the fact remains that it did not advance any of these causes throughout the years. The only thing the Satanic Temple actually managed to accomplish is fully on-par with the elite’s agenda described on this site: To normalize satanism and its symbolism in the public space while making it appealing to the masses.

GOD'S POSITION ON FIGHTING EVIL AND DEFENDING YOUR FAMILIES-NEH-4:14-'Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses'.

Nehemiah 4:12-15 King James Version (KJV)

12 And it came to pass, that when the Jews which dwelt by them came, they said unto us ten times, From all places whence ye shall return unto us they will be upon you.

13 Therefore set I in the lower places behind the wall, and on the higher places, I even set the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.

14 And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.

15 And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known unto us, and God had brought their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one unto his work.

New normal? Severe hailstorms cover desert in white in Saudi Arabia, kill cows in South Africa and destroy crops in Australia

By Strange Sounds Dec 5, 2018

Weather is going crazy. Epic hailstorms cover the desert in Saudi Arabia in white, some insane ice rocks falling from the sky killed livestock in South Afica and crops were devastated by 3cm hailstones in Australia’s Wheatbelt. As if the desert was only dusty and dry! Heavy rain and hail hit Saudi Arabia’s northern province of al-Jawf on December 4. Teaching was suspended in some schools due to the extreme weather in the city of Sakakah. Meanwhile, a massive storm swept through and devastated Mhlambanyatsi, Lundzi, Siphocosini, and some parts of Mbabane in South AFrica on Tuesday, December 4, 2018, leaving at least 18 cows dead. Hail and severe weather also impacted crops the central Wheatbelt, Australia on Monday afternoon, with some farmers reporting huge losses. The wild weather event dumped more than 40mm of rain, while crops were pelted with 3cm hailstones and lightning strikes caused spot fires.

STABBED TO DEATH: Paris College Lecturer THROAT SLIT by jihadi student

By Pamela Geller - on December 5, 2018

The so-far-unnamed suspected killer is a Pakistani national. The Democrats are fighting to bring this here. Get ready for an avalanche of “islamophobia” stories, “fear of reprisals” (which never happen), lots of psychobabble, and then for the pièce de résistance, “mental illness.”

in fatal attack by expelled student who failed to pass his exams’

Irish lecturer John Dowling was on the verge of retiring when he was stabbed to death

By Peter Allen, The Sun, 5th December 2018, 7:44 pm

AN Irish lecturer teaching English in Paris was today savagely stabbed to death by a former student who had failed to pass his exams. The horrific murder of John Dowling, 66, in a possible act of revenge took place outside the Leonardo De Vinci private university in the the western La Defense business district. “The victim was stabbed repeatedly after heading out of the college to go for lunch,” said an investigating source. “At least one of the cuts was to his throat, and he died on the scene. A 37-year-old man was arrested at the scene and remains in custody.” The so far unnamed suspected killer is a Pakistani national who was expelled from the university in the summer of 2017 after failing to get through the academic year. He is known to have remained in the area over the past year, and was in touch with those running the college.

Our friends in the Czech Republic are more on top of the geoengineered California firestorms than most Americans

Posted on December 6, 2018 by State of the Nation

Fires in California were geoengineered.

OrgoNet (A website administered from the Czech Republic)

by SepsalOrgonet geoengineer

Anomaly of fires. Selectivity of fires. The houses that allegedly caught from the forest fires burned to the fallen, but the forests stand. Controlled Weapons – DEW. Smart Meters Smart Energy Meters. How can climatologists fire the house and not its surroundings? Mainstream media, not only in the US, but around the world, is trying to keep the impression that California is a natural forest fire, and that its extraordinary strength and scope are apparently caused, like other world “natural” last-ditch disasters, by the changes in the planet’s climate . Of course it’s a lie like CO2-drive global warming is. All “natural” disasters of recent years (“forest” fires, floods, landslides, earthquakes, tsunamis, nuclear disasters, etc.) took place under the baton of geoengineering climate-fighting weapons. Scientists – geo-engineers – Climate-meteorological / climatic weapons controllers are the instrument of elites that deliberately organize these disasters to achieve their various goals, and there is no crime to stop them. There is all the evidence that the official media will never inform as long as they are ruled by those elites. They will keep silent about them as long as possible, and if it does not work, the evidence and its bearers will try to discredit them by all means. But ordinary people still share this information on the Internet, and it seems that the credibility of the “official” media for the past year has dropped and is steadily declining. Back to the current fires in California that are still burning and leaving dozens of dead and hundreds missing that I would not have expected among the living … California witnesses on private channels on YouTube, website and alternative media publish documents about strange anomalies of fires suggesting this that these fires were deliberately ignited, probably by using DEW weapons placed on satellites and / or drones. (DEW = Directed Energy Weapons = guns using controlled energy – laser, microwaves, scalar waves.) Documents (in English) are a lot to do with, even pictures directly proving the effects of DEW. You can find the best summaries of photos, videos, and comments on the State of the Nation Alternative News and The Millennium Report, and many more. (I do not make direct links because access to some alternative sites via the link / bookmark is currently being monitored / blocked by elite / google, and you might indicate that the site does not exist or warn it is dangerous. But they can be easily found by the search engine.) So I’m going to have some pictures today to get an idea and maybe get some more information. At least one link to an article with photographic documentation: Evidence that California is under the DEW weapon attack: http://stateofthenation2012.com/?p=108152  The strangest fire of all times – different anomalies.

1. Selectivity. The most striking feature is the selectivity of the fires. As the photographs show, the fires were able to pick their targets exactly. The houses are destroyed in the foundations (8,000 houses at all), but the trees / forests in the neighborhood remain intact, even in close proximity. How come when the houses are being ignited by a forest fire? See satellite imagery below:

2. Strange burning houses Houses are “lying ash” to the foundations, mostly very few debris (at least some good: they will not have to clear it so much). All nicely uniform on white ash / dust. It is true that houses built predominantly from wood easily burn. (Firefighters say somewhere that once a fire takes 5% of a wooden house, then it can not be extinguished). But we would expect different houses to have different layouts and “fillings” so they should burn differently from different locations, and the result of normal burning should be at least a bit of black burning and some burned debris. But it is here all in one uniformly aligned with the earth. White burns can mean that there has been a fire / explosion / explosion with a very high temperature that normal fire does not usually reach, or the object has been destroyed by some other destruction – we are again with DEW. (Somehow, the WTC’s “wreckage” was after the 9/11 destruction). More pictures below: Houses destroyed, trees OK.

3. Strange burning of materials. In many incinerators, molten metal is molten, as if fired at a higher temperature than normal fire. Witnesses report broken concrete, porcelain, curled glass = melted glass. While normally flammable materials – paper, plastics, twigs – on the same “burning” are preserved. See, for example, the picture below, the car burns like a torch, a burning paper is lying around. Image: Proof of use of weapons to controlled energy. Cars burn like torches, paper is lying around. “Fire” has destroyed many California wine cellars. The following video is a compilation of damage in several California wine cellars: it shows strong uneven temperatures in a single “fire”. For example, glass bottles are deformed, while metal racks retain their shape. Molten bottles, but the paper napkins besides did not burn. The bottles melted, but the vineyard shrubs remained cool. Paper labels remained on the bottles. Etc. etc.

Image: molten glass bottles in a wine cellar. The forest stands in the background. See video: Fire has melted the whole glass cellars of wine bottles https://youtu.be/tnPTxummBXs  How do the firefighters ignore homes at a distance? Hypothesis about Smart Meters. It seems as if the arsonists were able to focus their firearms precisely on buildings (and cars, the next time). Based on what? In the US, many households have so-called “Smart Meters” – wirelessly communicating smart power meters that are heavily enforced by the government, and are extensively expanded in California; Under this hypothesis, these meters can emit a drones-trap signal, and they can precisely target their energy-driven beams. (See video: Californian fires: Weapons DEW? Smart meters? Https://youtu.be/ViLKCrfmdmw  ). Next time: How strangely cars burned.

The Weaponization of Water in the US

By Dave Hodges

As a researcher, I have come to appreciate the importance of timing. There are times when I have uncovered something that poses a threat to America, but the context of the threat does not yet exist, so the event is in limbo. Often, hears later, events crystallize and the outlying fact becomes obvious to all that have eyes to see. i have come across such an event and it involves the weaponization of water. Before walking the reader down the path of contrived water shortages for political gain, there is something that has to be said about the California State Legislature and Governor Jerry Brown. California is a state that is complete rebellion from the United States. The CALEXIT movement is move designed to not only exit California from the Union under the control of the United Nations, they are a state that can be accurately classified as a sanctuary state. They harbor murderers, rapists and drug dealers. The exit of California from the United States would destroy retail and agriculture on a national basis. Most California legislators need to be arrested for sedition. California Is Weaponizing Water  CALEXIT if failing and proponent, California Governor Jerry Brown, is leading the charge to empty California from anyone who would oppose the globalization of America as expressed in the CALEXIT desire to make California so unliveable, that the upper and middle classes exit the state. Republican U.S. Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Tulare, didn’t link to the post, but he expressed his frustration on his private blog that Californians would face “draconian” showering and laundry restrictions because of “environmental extremists and the Democrats.” “Californians don’t want to have to choose between doing their laundry and taking a shower,” he said. oe Walsh, a conservative radio host and former congressman shared a link to the blog post Monday and added: “California is awful. Just awful.” And he’s right. California has indeed weaponized water in order to achieve a political goal. Joe Walsh

@WalshFreedom

How much is the fine if you dare to take a shower, do laundry, AND run your sprinklers all in the same day? California is awful. Just awful. Inez Stepman @InezFeltscher

Assemblywoman Laura Friedman, D-Glendale, the author of AB 1668 perpetrated a bill that gave California the power which made it illegal to take a shower and do laundry on the same day. $1,000 fine if you go above your allotted 55 gallons of water per day. Utility companies are encouraging neighbors to spy on neighbors to ensure compliance. The liberal establishment has minimized the effects of the law, but offer no facts in opposition. Here is an analysis: The bill, until January 1, 2025, would establish 55 gallons per capita daily as the standard for indoor residential water use, beginning January 1, 2025, would establish the greater of 52.5 gallons per capita daily or a standard recommended by the department and the board as the standard for indoor residential water use, and beginning January 1, 2030, would establish the greater of 50 gallons per capita daily or a standard recommended by the department and the board as the standard for indoor residential water use. The bill would impose civil liability for a violation of an order or regulation issued pursuant to these provisions, as specified.

The restrictions are omnipresent:

An 8-minute shower uses about 17 gallons of water

A load of laundry uses about 40 gallons of water if you do not have a new HE washer

An average-to-large bathtub can hold as much as 80 to 110 gallons of water

A dishwasher uses anywhere from 5.5-15 gallons of water

If you add together a 17-gallon shower with a 40-gallon load of laundry, you get 57 gallons of water, which exceeds your allotment of 55 gallons. Since this is now a law, breaking it, by definition, is illegal…

This bill became law last summer. However, recent events have taken this to an entirely new level.

First There Was Peak Oil, Then There Was Peak Water Deborah Tavares maintains a sight called Primary Water. On the sight are numerous articles which destroy the myth that California has a water shortage. Emphatically, and more important, empirically, the water shortage claim is blatantly false. Speaking of Deborah Tavares, I recently interviewed her. The interview will air this coming Sunday. During the course of the interview Tavares emphatically made the point that nobody will be able to water outside their house. This will turn arid and semi-arid areas into a tinderbox. This is Governor Brown’s prescription for more fires and the dry brush will act as a lightening rod for the wild fires. From my personal perspective, I see water being used in a variety of ways. First, people of any means will seriously consider leaving California which plays right into the hands of the CALEXIT group. They are happy with the notion of using migrants as a replacement population. On a more ominous note, Tavares believes that severe fires are coming to every state. One thing is for sure, Governor Brown, the California State Legislature and CALEXIT are indeed weaponizing water for political purposes.  Will It Work? The world is full of examples where food and/or water are weaponized for political purposes. Venezuela Is The Canary In The Mine The real story in Venezuela is not the declining dollars, but the emerging water crisis. The situation is turning very threatening to well-being of the population. If the socialist leaders in Venezuela continues to serve the banksters and the preferred insiders, the water crisis could lead to a civil war, if the existing food crisis doesn’t. In fact, there are widespread water shortages across the planet that threaten to push the entire planet into a state of perpetual state of social unrest and even war could break out over control of this most precious resource. Much has been written about the past wars that have been fought over oil (e.g. Gulf War 1), the wars that have been fought over oil and gas (e.g. Arab Spring) and the wars which will be fought over oil and gas (e.g. Ukraine, Syria and Iran). What is missing from most conversations is that the wars of the future will be fought over water, leaving oil as a secondary consideration. By The Year 2025 According to the United Nations research and scientific studies, nearly two-thirds of the entire population inhabiting the planet will face severe, life-threatening water shortages by the year 2025. The reasons most often cited for the water shortages are waste and poor planning which will result in uneven distribution. Presently this problem is primarily a third world problem. However, the UN report and other ancillary reports mention that England faces serious water shortages and the United States is not far behind England. People laugh when I tell them that an extreme water shortage is coming. However, the problem is already here. The AOL news reported mentioned in the video, identified 50 cities that are close to running out of water. The problem is international, not just an American dilemma. The BBC has identified 11 major international cities that will soon run out of water. Previous Warnings Have Gone Ignored Back in 2012-2013, I warned many that inside of the the United States, globalist plans were already being laid for contrived water shortages are already underway. T. Boone Pickens is buying up the Ogallala Water Aquifer, the largest in North America. Jesse Ventura, on his show Conspiracy Theory, documented how Nestle is shipping Great Lake water to places like China at the expense of the American taxpayers. That practice has accelerated in California under Nestle as well. In fact, San Francisco is often identified as the city that is in the most danger of running out of water. I have also documented how in places like Northern and Central California and Southern Oregon, the EPA was systematically removing local farmer and rancher access to water through abusive practices of the EPA and the BLM. In fact, I was told almost a year ago, the EPA has covert plants to seize the water of ranchers, despite any exiting water agreements and that they plan to use their own internal swat teams to accomplish this goal. The Defense Intelligence Agency Warned The World Even the Defense Intelligence Agency has clearly echoed the dire warnings of the United Nations report by stating that unstable water supplies will greatly impact all and water will subsequently be used as a weapon. The DIA report evoked a reaction from former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, just prior to leaving office as she commented that the DIA’s findings are “sobering” and that as the world’s population continues to expand, the demand for water will increase but fresh water supplies will not keep pace.  Overpopulation Is The Globalist Justification For Stealing Water Please take note of the fact that the globalists never miss an opportunity to promote the false paradigm of overpopulation in order to justify their depopulation agenda. In several places, the globalists are proclaiming overpopulation to be the new threat to humanity. This has become necessary because the globalists believe that an increasing number of people are waking up to the man-made climate change fraud. Hillary Clinton has commented that as water shortages grow, this inevitably will lead to regional conflicts and violence between nation states and within nation states and that overpopulation is at the root of the problem.

One has to tip their hat to the globalists for their dynamic and flexible approach to achieve total global domination through the creation of scenarios that will lead to massive war, war that will lead to political and economic unification under the New World Order. This is a classic case of the Hegelian Dialectic in action. In reality, the plan to bring the world to its knees through the global elite’s creation of artificial water shortages, is already underway in California. The reports from the DIA and the UN should be labeled status reports, instead of futuristic projections. Consider the following water-related facts from an existing set of realities. Twenty percent of the world’s population, presently lack access to an adequate supply of clean drinking water. Global water consumption is doubling every 20 years, more than twice the rate of human population growth. The Progress Of Contrived Water Shortages The above-mentioned facts can be exploited by the globalists through controlling water supplies and creating more artificial shortages. The globalist plan to bring the world to its knees by controlling water is already bearing fruit as 31 countries currently face water scarcity. Globalist industries have been doing their part to ferment this conspiracy as more than half the world’s major rivers are either dead or are hopelessly polluted. More evidence to support the notion that the globalist plan is working is evidenced by the fact that, in third world countries, water borne illnesses account for most deaths. Water safety issues are being exacerbated and the death curve is dramatically spiking. Tragically, these deaths are almost completely preventable. As both the UN and DIA reports mention, that by 2025, two-thirds of the world’s population will live in absolute water scarcity and accompanying food shortages. There will no shortage of willing and desperate soldiers to fight in the coming water wars.

More Surveillance State Moves: The U.S. Will Lose Liberty Before (And If) It’s Restored

Jeremiah Johnson December 3rd, 2018 SHTFplan.com Comments (66) Read by 3,914 people

In previous articles, I outlined the three methods the globalists are most likely to use (in order of preference) to finish off the U.S. and usher in their Globalist-Corporatist-Oligarchic world government. They are as such: A lethal bio-engineered virus An Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) “Event” – defined as either an attack by a foreign entity (such as North Korea, China, or Russia), or a “domestic self-infliction” subsequently blamed on one or more of the listed former. A nuclear war For skeptics and rabid naysayers who attacked previous articles regarding the threat posed by North Korea outlined over the past several years, information from the U.S. Air Force was posted the other day that may make you want to “reanalyze” your stance. As I mentioned before, I’m just the messenger: the information has been gathered over the years by men such as Pry and Graham who headed the former Committee to brief Congress on the EMP Threat against the United States. That same Committee was de-funded (in this administration), and rendered defunct. According to the Air Force 2018 report, the mothballing of the Committee was premature. The Washington Examiner’s Paul Bedard wrote an article released 11/30/2018 entitled, “Military warns EMP attack could wipe out America, democracy, world order.” Here’s an excerpt: “In an extraordinary and sobering report meant to educate the nation on a growing threat, a new military study warns that an electromagnetic pulse weapon attack such as those developed by North Korea, Russia, and Iran could essentially challenge the United States and displace millions. “Based on the totality of available data,” said the report from the Air Force’s Air University and provided to Secrets, “an electromagnetic spectrum attack may be a threat to the United States, democracy, and the world order.” The report, titled, “Electromagnetic Defense Task Force,” and the product of a mostly classified summit of officials from 40 agencies just outside of Washington earlier this year, is a forceful call for a new focus on preparing for either an enemy EMP attack or a natural hit such as a solar storm.” Notice how Mr. Bedard cites the study’s conclusion of an EMP weapon is phrased “such as those developed by North Korea, Russia, and Iran” in the excerpt? “Developed” is past-tense, alluding to the fact that these weapons are in existence now in these countries. It also mentions the EMP is capable of being delivered by satellite…as pointed out numerous times in the past. Once again (par for the course) the report is described as the “product of a mostly classified summit of officials.” Yes, during this busy shopping season, no need to panic the Muppets and detract from their idiot largess or lack of frugality during that holy, sacred time of the year: the last business quarter of the calendar year. Of course it’s classified. As has been reported after the “Victory over North Korea’s Disarmament” mantra back in May of this year, the sanctions are still in place, and North Korea has not “de-nuclearized” in the least. “Mission accomplished” is best rendered “nothing accomplished. Or maybe the mission was accomplished. By keeping North Korea in the game, they can be blamed any time the controllers decide to make it “lights out” with the EMP…it can be blamed on them. Notice the report is also big on the “solar storm” warning: another fallback position, for after a worldwide blackout with EMP(s), how would anyone be able to dispute that it was the sun? Simple matter to “persuade” any scientists who could argue the point to fall in lock step. The point is that North Korea is not “back” in the game: they were never out of it, and whether prompted by another nation or of their own accord, they do possess the capability of rendering an EMP strike against the United States. I do not avoid writing about it because the threat does not exist. I stand by my position that a nuclear war will begin with an attack by an EMP device, followed by an exchange of nukes. In the meantime, there are other things occurring that are destroying the country incrementally. My point of focus has been the development of the Surveillance State in the U.S. The (eventual) complete loss of liberty will be the result of the “Technocratic Society” being fully-formed that Brzezinski hungered for: with cameras in every home, tracking devices [cell phones, if you prefer] on every person, surveillance in every aspect of life, and a virtual-electronic police state completed. I’ve written several pieces on the biometrics. Biometrics in everything: in the bank, for the grocery store, for the travel…your travel…for your safety and the safety of the community…the communist collective that is being built. The cage will be constructed for your own good, by the “good guys,” for your benefit. USA Today released an article on 11/29/18 entitled “Delta says USA’s ‘first biometric terminal’ is ready to go at the Atlanta airport.” Isn’t that wonderful news? Delta is so excited! Another excited “personality” is Chad Newton, CEO of the Wayne County Airport Authority in charge of Detroit airport, where another Biometric Terminal is being set up to rock and roll. Here’s what Chad had to say in that USA Today article: “It is a great honor for Detroit Metropolitan Airport to become one of the nation’s first biometric terminals. We look forward to partnering with Delta, CBP[,] and TSA to provide passengers with the option to utilize facial recognition throughout their entire travel process.”  Wonderful, Chad! I wonder exactly what he means by “partnering?” Especially “partnering” with CBP (that’s Customs and Border Patrol) and TSA (that’s the Transportation Security Authority). How does one “partner” with them? The answer: the corporations fawningly accept their role in the construction of the cage-system, on their backs with plainly-evident submissive behavior exhibited (metaphorically speaking, we hope). A “great honor,” eh? Also: does that “entire travel process” include when we hit the latrine on board the airliner, as well? I hope (metaphorically speaking) that you guys are taking up Rosie Greer’s hobby of “knitting,” and gals too…but both guys and gals with the intentions of Madame Defarge. Knit accurately, and knit well. Remember these individuals, these “Choked-up Chads,” swelling with the desire to serve their masters. Remember them for posterity. But wait, there’s more.  MassPrivatel released a piece on 11/27/18 entitled “Surveillance cameras equipped with thermal imaging allow police to identify people by their gender, body size and color of their skin.” The central company here, BriefCam, calls their actions “Transforming Video into Actionable Intelligence.” Yeah, isn’t that beautiful? Let me give you some more, from this excerpt: “…allows law enforcement and retailers to secretly identify people by their gender, body size, color, direction, speed[,] and more. BriefCam’s Video Synopsis version V allows police and retail stores to use surveillance cameras to identify individuals and cars in real time. What is really disturbing about the video is no one knows where it is being used and by shom. BriefCam’s limited disclosures, claim it is being used by top law enforcement agencies and governments but that’s it.” I really love that last sentence. “Top” law enforcement agencies. That’s good. BriefCam is using FLIR (forward-looking infrared). They’re not alone. The article mentions NeoFace Watch Software produced by NEC. Check this out: “NEC and NPS will showcase a vast range of safety solutions to overcome challenges facing cities; including facial recognition system, automated fingerprint identification system (AFIS), CONNECT police platform, and video analytics solution. The solutions will form part of Safer Cities that NEC and NPS aim to build, to contribute to realize a safe and secure society for all citizens.” Let’s embolden and enlarge that last part: A safe and secure society for all citizens. I like the term “showcase” in that part: akin to The Price is Right. Can you believe it? Can you believe this is happening? The cage is being constructed at Warp Factor 7, Ladies and Gentlemen. This is not a joke! The article goes on to show how police smartphones can access the information on the surveillance cameras! That’s right! “Passive” surveillance (with the cameras existing in a public place…untouchable, unstoppable, and not legally allowed to be “jammed” or interfered with). The active surveillance is where the police (under agreement with the businesses) take the information they need from the “free public forum” of the emplaced cameras. Bye bye 4th Amendment! The businesses: taxpaying entities that support the system, and (as illustrated with “Choked-up Chad’s” statement) the businesses are totally and wholly engaged in supporting the State over the citizens. Same premise of where John Citizen goes against a company/business entity. He will lose, because after it’s tied up in the courts for years, the court recognizes the supremacy of the corporations over Mr. Citizen…by criteria of who pumps more tax dollars into the system….the same system the courts feed off of, and law enforcement (top to bottom) graze out of: “Billy Mack the detective down in Texas…he makes his living off other people’s taxes,” as the song runs. Oh, they’re really nailing us. I highly recommend reading the article I just referenced, and also read some of the excellent and knowledgeable comments below it pertaining to more examples of the growing Surveillance State. The point is that the cage is truly almost complete. By using the “Tyranny of the Majority” and the accompanying tyranny of the pseudo-safety needs of the community, the controllers issue in a police state that cannot be contested in the de facto court system with innumerable laws and armies of lawyers paid by your taxes to defend the State. See to the “knitting” and preparations for the eventuality that will occur: the complete removal of your Constitutional rights and the planned incremental demise or sudden destruction of the country. The first step is to be aware. The second: take the necessary steps to survive and carry on. Let Quintus Fabius Maximus’ methods be your guide, and resolve yourself that it is a long-term engagement. Success will require nothing less. Jeremiah Johnson is the Nom de plume of a retired Green Beret of the United States Army Special Forces (Airborne). Mr. Johnson is also a Gunsmith, a Certified Master Herbalist, a Montana Master Food Preserver, and a graduate of the U.S. Army’s SERE school (Survival Evasion Resistance Escape).

Biometric Scanning Has Rolled Out in Atlanta International Airport: “One Look And You’re In”

By Meadow Clark

Atlanta airport’s Terminal F has become the “first biometric terminal” in the United States. And Detroit is next… As of December 1, Delta Airlines rolled out biometric scanning for air travel at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), Terminal F. International passengers will be able to use facial recognition scans from “curb to gate” to get through every facet of their air travel. While the face scans are lauded as a great way to save time, they really aren’t as you’ll see below. I’m sure any travel-weary person can think of many ways that air travel could become more convenient and efficient. I mean, one of the strangest paradoxes of our technologically advanced world is that it’s 2018 and air travel is the most miserable experience. It becomes more miserable every year and no one even wants to hear comedians talk about it anymore because miserable air travel is such a foregone conclusion. Not to be mean, but people have already lined up before the biometric scanners like sheep, seemingly without even flinching at the new development. Or rather, more like deer in the headlights. Nothing new here…just your friendly neighborhood facial scans. ZAP! Biometric scanners are optional…for NOW. For now, the biometric scanners are being presented as an “option.” Delta et al. call it an option any time they reference biometric scanning perhaps to soften the edges a bit. Of course, in time this will be the only option for air travel and Delta is in a hurry to roll out the scanners at the other international airports. But please don’t believe the tripe about how this is all for everyone’s convenience. It clearly isn’t when you see who Delta partnered with to make biometric scanners a reality. Last week, Delta announced: Today, Delta Air Lines, in partnership with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), unveiled the first biometric terminal in the United States at Maynard H. Jackson International Terminal (Terminal F) in Atlanta, announced earlier this fall. This means that customers flying direct to an international destination on Delta, Aeromexico, Air France, KLM or Virgin Atlantic Airways can use facial recognition technology from curb to gate, including to:

Check in at the self-service kiosks in the International lobby

Drop checked baggage at the counters in the International lobby

Serve as identification at the TSA checkpoint

Board a flight at any gate in Terminal F

And, go through CBP processing for international travelers arriving into the U.S.

We’re removing the need for a customer checking a bag to present their passport up to four times per departure – which means we’re giving customers the option of moving through the airport with one less thing to worry about, while empowering our employees with more time for meaningful interactions with customers,” – Gil West, Delta’s COO

How Does Biometric Scanning Work At the Airport? USA Today writes: Delta says customers enter their passport information during online check-in. Or, at the airport, customers can scan their passport to check in. Next, passengers can click “look” as they check in at one of Delta’s automated kiosks. Travelers’ face scans will be matched to passport or visa photos on file with U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Delta says customers have the same option as they “approach the camera at the counter in the lobby, the TSA checkpoint or when boarding at the gate.” The mainstream media is giddy for the new, invasive advancements all for a little more “convenience” that could exist with a little more efficiency like in other countries’ international flights. The MSM certainly isn’t emphasizing any critiques if there are any. “It is a great honor for Detroit Metropolitan Airport to become one of the nation’s first biometric terminals,” gushed Chad Newton, the interim CEO of the Wayne County Airport Authority of the Detroit airport. We look forward to partnering with Delta, CBP, and TSA to provide passengers with the option to utilize facial recognition throughout their entire travel process.” The “option” – while it is still an option and not mandatory – will become available to international passengers flying nonstop from Atlanta on Delta’s partner airlines Aeromexico, Air France-KLM or Virgin Atlantic. They really want you to feel that facial recognition is good. Facial recognition is good! It’s only a problem if a social media network makes use of it without telling the public. But now it’s good! “Nearly all 25,000 customers who travel through ATL Terminal F each week are choosing this optional process, with less than 2 percent opting out,” Delta beamed. “And, based on initial data, the facial recognition option is saving an average of two seconds for each customer at boarding, or nine minutes when boarding a widebody aircraft,” they added. Wow, did you hear that? You are saving two whole seconds at boarding… Delta will introduce this “curb to gate” biometric option in Detroit early 2019. What Can I Do to Avoid Biometric Scanners at the Airport? Unfortunately, facial recognition is not something most people can control anymore. It happens online, via our passports and through Big Brother cameras posted in the public. Tighter security measures make it more difficult to wear things that obscure your face when you go through the airport or into the bank or stores etc… But you can refuse to travel Delta and let representatives know that you won’t be voting for them if they continue evaporating your right to privacy. In the long run, this is what we are looking at as the new “normal.”  However, if your dollar still counts, why not choose a different international airline such as Emirates Airline? Their “coach” flights are as nice as a first-class domestic flight in the United States. And they know it! Just look at Emirates’ new marketing campaign. This is not an endorsement but just look at it! And check out this lush air cabin tour. Look at all that wonderful space for your arms and legs, ahhhhhh. “Don’t just fly, fly better,” says their slogan. Meanwhile, there’s an American up in a Delta jet saying, “fly better? Is that a thing that exists? You mean I don’t have to sit on this person’s lap and get sneezed on and beg for more pretzels? I’d get free drinks and complimentary food? And hot towels?”  Yes, dear American. This thing does exist. And anyone who has flown to another country knows that the airport experiences there are worlds different than the U.S. You start taking off your belt and shoes there and you might be stopped for indecent exposure! I hear nothing but good things from people who have flown Emirates, although this is just one option to avoid companies like Delta. And the travelers I hear from testify that the commercials are accurate, including the smiles from the proud employees. If this is true and Emirates Airline set up shop in the United States, then all of our airlines would be out of business in weeks. Which means they can change… That’s why U.S. airlines should be ashamed, but the miserable, smelly air travel experience seems to be part of a bigger plan to crimp the freedom to travel. What do you think about biometric scanners in airports? Are you concerned about biometric scanners as a passage to travel? Would you ever use it? Why or why not? Do you still even travel by air? Let us know below!

‘Europe is finished,’ leading lawyer says as he leaves UK for Israel

‘It’s time to wander again,’ Mark Lewis tells fellow Jews facing rising anti-Semitism in Britain and across Europe.

By External Source - December 9, 2018

A top British lawyer and his partner immigrated to Israel this week, citing rising anti-Semitism in Europe. “Europe in my view is finished. Every day you see people being attacked in one way or another across Europe,” Mark Lewis told Israel’s Channel 10 news, which accompanied his arrival, together with partner Mandy Blumenthal, at Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport. “You see people murdered in museums in Belgium, people murdered in schools in France, people attacked in England. There is only one place for Jewish people to go,” Lewis added. Lewis, 54, one of the UK’s leading libel lawyers, said he has been increasingly subjected to hate speech and threats for being Jewish, including being subjected to regular abuse and death threats online. The decision to leave Britain did not come easily, the couple has said, but they feel it was inevitable. “We’re a wandering people, and it’s time to wander again. People just don’t want to see it,” Lewis said of his fellow British Jews. “We’ve accelerated our decision of moving to go to Israel because of anti-Semitism being so institutional and accepted in mainstream life,” Blumenthal charged. “So many people have these ideas about Jews being responsible for every disaster that’s ever happened in the world.” Lewis and Blumenthal first publicized their intention to leave for Israel in an interview with the BBC in August. They said they knew other people who are considering leaving the country because of anti-Semitism. In the interview, the couple also blamed the leadership of Labour under Jeremy Corbyn for creating an atmosphere that allows anti-Semitic feelings to bubble up, and largely dismissed Corbyn’s assertion that anti-Semitism is not tolerated in the party. “Jeremy Corbyn moved the rock, and the anti-Semites crawled out from underneath the rock. They’re not going back,” said Lewis. “There’s been a total climate change. It’s become acceptable to be anti-Semitic. It’s brought out people’s feelings to the surface,” Blumenthal said. She said though Corbyn and Labour are not solely responsible for the recent anti-Semitism, they have a “very loud part” in its rise. “It’s not just Jeremy Corbyn and it’s not all of the Labour party. But it’s a very, very loud part of it that’s actually enabled this anti-Semitism to foster here in the UK and go throughout society,” she said. Lewis said while anti-Semitism was a fringe phenomenon in the past, it is has become more prominent due to social media. “Social media has caused so much harm,” he said. “Fifteen years ago there was still anti-Semitism but it was an obscure thing. Fifteen years ago somebody painted a swastika on my garage door in Manchester, that was a message. But it was a one-off, it was something you could almost laugh off. Now with the effect of social media, it’s almost every day.” Lewis, who in an interview with The Times of Israel last year said he likes to take on anti-Semitic trolls on social media, said he has also faced anti-Semitism when trying to raise the issue. “If you complain about anti-Semitism, the most anti-Semitic thing is said back to you: You’re making it up, it’s all a smear, you haven’t even got the right to complain,” he said. He said he was bombarded with messages of hate from “people who claim to represent [grassroots Corbyn backing group] Momentum, who claim to represent the Labour Party.” Explaining the couple’s decision to move to Israel, Lewis said “there is only so much you can take.” “The online abuse might continue, the Israelis might not like me because I am too left, might not like me because they think I am too right, whatever their view. But they are not going to dislike me because I am Jewish. And there is only so much you can take – when you are getting threats to kill you.” “When you are getting threats from people that they want you to be ill, etc. It’s a drip drip effect,” said Lewis, who suffers from multiple sclerosis. “And where do you say ‘actually, enough is enough.’” In response to the couple’s interview, a Labour spokesperson said Corbyn is a “militant opponent” of anti-Semitism and committed to uprooting it from the party. Blumenthal, however, said she did not believe Corbyn’s expressed commitment to addressing Labour’s anti-Semitism problems. “Words are cheap. I honestly believe that when I hear Jeremy Corbyn’s words, they’re cheap, they’re excuses, they’re not actually expressing his true feelings. I don’t believe him,” she said. In August, Corbyn faced renewed criticism after the Daily Mail newspaper published photos of him holding a wreath during a 2014 ceremony at a Tunisian cemetery. It appeared from the snapshots that Corbyn was standing near the graves of Palestinian terrorists involved in the massacre of 11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics in 1972. The scandal is only the latest round in a long-running crisis for the Labour Party, with a constant stream of members and prominent officials being forced out or chastised for making anti-Semitic and virulent anti-Israel comments, and Corbyn himself criticized for tolerating and/or being part of the problem. The fracas has seen excoriation from rabbis, including Britain’s chief rabbi, as well as from some of Labour’s own MPs, charging that the party and its leader seem unable or unwilling to decisively excise anti-Semitic members and sentiments from Labour’s ranks.

Canadian Christians Branded As "UnCanadian" For Traditional Religious Beliefs

Attacks on freedom of religion and freedom of conscience are a near-constant in Canadian news cycles of late, from physicians fighting in court for the right not to refer for procedures they find immoral to religious schools battling the government in court to maintain the independence and integrity of their institutions. Many religious views have been recast by many progressive politicians and academics (with the obedient acquiescence of the media) as hateful and even vicious, and as such it is open season on those who dare to hold these views and worse, speak of them aloud. So I am not surprised that a recent study by the Angus Reid Institute in partnership with Cardus, a conservative think tank based out of Ottawa, indicated that only 59% of Canadians say that religious freedom makes our country a better place, leaving a full 41% that presumably feel that religious freedom makes our country a worse place, or at least feel ambivalent about a fundamental freedom. Ray Pennings of Cardus broke it down recently in the Hamilton Spectator: While a clear majority sees the benefits of religious freedom, it’s curious that more of us aren’t enthusiastic about this fundamental human right. What’s at play here? There are likely several factors, including a hardcore secularist viewpoint, though this remains a minority view in Canada. The same survey used a series of measures to classify Canadians among three categoriesthose welcoming of faith in public life, those who are unsure and those hostile to it. The proponents of public faith are the largest group at 37 per cent, while the other two weigh in at 32 per cent each. Only 31 per cent of the group hostile to public faith say religious freedom makes Canada better. An almost equal proportion says it makes Canada worse. Clearly, hardcore secularism contains a fervent opposition to religion and its free expression. Related to that secularism could be prejudice against public displays of faith. Indeed, half of Canadians say they’re uncomfortable with religious garments or symbols in the workplace — something that disproportionately affects Muslims, Jews and Sikhs. Such discomfort may translate into lower support for religious freedom. Still, that’s not the whole story. Could it also be that some Canadians feel that the Charter of Rights and Freedoms’ guarantee of religious freedom doesn’t adequately protect them? If so, their answer about religious freedom may reflect their judgment on the effectiveness of Charter protections. Seven in 10 Canadians say they feel the federal government respects their religious community. And almost six in 10 say Canadian society either makes room for their faith and values or has little impact on them…Now the bad news: Christians don’t fare as well. Overall, Catholics and other Christians feel less respected by government and less welcome in society than non-Christians do. But it’s Canada’s evangelical Protestants who feel especially marginalized. They’re the most likely to say the feds disrespect them, with four in 10 evangelicals saying so. And just over half of this religious minority says society shuts them out. They may not be enjoying all the benefits of religious freedom. This finding is unsurprising given the news of the last year: Evangelicals and other Christians bore the brunt of the federal government’s Canada Summer Jobs fiasco, which filtered out grant recipients based on their beliefs. Legal challenges are ongoing but haven’t borne fruit yet. The evangelical Trinity Western University in B.C. faced discrimination by several law societies opposed to it setting up a law school — discrimination that the Supreme Court of Canada eventually upheld. And in Alberta, it’s mostly evangelical schools that are threatened with the loss of funding over an ideological disagreement with the provincial government. But could there also be some amnesia about the fundamental human right of religious freedom? What many may not realize is that religious freedom is not just for the religious; it benefits everyone. It protects the ability of the religious and non-religious to act according to their deepest beliefs — informing our freedoms of speech, association and assembly. More Canadians need to see and understand this connection. The fact that they don’t, of course, can be tied to a number of things. Traditional Christian views are now considered to be widely “offensive,” a word now frequently used to justify censorship. People are simply less tolerant of being exposed to ideas they dislike, and less willing to engage in discussion. Our current prime minister’s rhetoric doesn’t help: Justin Trudeau has consistently condemned traditional Christian beliefs as “unCanadian,” helping to cement the idea that Canadian Christians are somehow less Canadian because they are Christian. It is fascinating to me how such an a historical view can be so consistently propagated. Canada was founded on Judeo-Christian principles, and this fact was once widely known and understood. You cannot drive anywhere in this country without encountering evidence of Canada’s Christian heritage. The aging churches, the moss-covered Celtic crosses in the graveyards, the religious nature of the cenotaphs and memorials to the fallen. By the new standards of Justin Trudeau and his ideological fellow-travelers, the men and women who built this country are somehow less Canadian than they are because they believed different things about the fundamental nature of life and family. This view cannot be defended, and therefore it is easier for Trudeau and those like him to instead respond to disagreement with sneering and condescension. In the broad sweep of Canadian history, I would prefer to stand with those indomitable and hard-working men and women of faith who held to the traditions of their ancestors and thousands of years of revealed truth rather than a man who chases the progressive absurdities of the current moment and sneers at the noble generations who believed things he cannot understand.

German Government Accused of Funding Brochure That Encourages Kids to Spy on Their “Right-Wing” Parents

Natural gender roles portrayed as being a right-wing trait

Paul Joseph Watson | Infowars.com - December 5, 2018

The Federal Ministry for Family Affairs in Germany has been accused of funding a brochure for kindergarten teachers that encourages children to spy on their “right-wing” parents. The 60-page manual was produced by the Berlin-based Amadeu Antonio Foundation (AAS), an watchdog organization that tackles racism and hate speech. It was co-funded by the Family Ministry, which is a cabinet-level ministry of the Federal Republic of Germany. The document offers teachers advice on situations such as, “How to deal with it when teachers or parents make anti-refugee or racist statements in front of children, or directly attack refugee children or parents?” Germany’s biggest newspaper BILD said the manual was a training guide for recruiting children as potential “informants” against their own parents, while right-wing party AfD said the NGO was employing “Stasi methods” to turn kids into snoopers.

Blind, Rabid Hatred Ties NeverTrumpers To Their Liberal Counterparts In The Resistance As Another NeverTrump Publication Flounders

- NeverTrump Republicans Accepting Money From Soros-Connected Liberals To Fight Trump

By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine December 6, 2018

With the recent reports that The Weekly Standard, once a highly lauded conservative magazine that turned into a home for NeverTrumpers in 2016, is preparing to shut down permanently, we note the similarities between them and liberal #resistance news outlets like CNN, who is suffering their own ratings apocalypse, and it comes down to more than "disagreeing" with the President, but rather a case of irrational, blind and rabid hatred. Emily Robinson from One America News Network helped break the news on her Twitter feed on December 4, stating "BREAKING: Multiple sources tell me that neocon magazine @weeklystandard is expected to close its operations in a few weeks. It had lost many subscribers since the 2016 election as its #NeverTrumper editors @BillKristol @stephenfhayes @SykesCharlie publicly aligned with the Left." NeverTrumpers are establishment conservatives who decided they would rather vote for Hillary Clinton, or not at all, than to see Donald Trump become President of the United States, not because his campaign promises were not conservative enough for them, and despite the fact that Trump's list of Supreme Court possible nominees were exactly who those conservatives would have chosen, but because they hated Donald Trump. Policy was not a consideration in many cases, only who Donald Trump was. He wasn't religious enough, he wasn't moral enough, he said what he wanted, when he wanted and wasn't "presidential" enough for their liking. Via The Daily Caller: The Weekly Standard was founded in 1995 by Bill Kristol and Fred Barnes. Originally owned by NewsCorp, the magazine was eventually sold in 2009 to billionaire Philip Anschutz. Individuals close to the magazine told TheDCNF that Anschutz was growing frustrated with the direction of the magazine. One of those NeverTrumpers was William (Bill) Kristol, one of the founders of The Weekly Standard in 1995, along with Fred Barnes. Kristol is still listed as Editor at Large for TWS. Kristol had reportedly said back in 2016 that he would rather see Hillary Clinton in the White House than Donald Trump. Kristol pushed for a brokered convention and then wanted a third party candidate to run if Trump became the GOP nominee, splitting the Republican vote which would have given the election to Clinton. Kristol and the Weekly Standard's demise is but one example of how blind, rabid hatred of one man, is destructive. In TWS' case, the destruction of a magazine that was a staple for conservative political junkies from 1995 until they allowed their Trump Derangement Syndrome to destroy their credibility. NEVERTRUMPERS ARE PART OF THE RESISTANCE NeverTrumpers like Kristol, Max Boot, and Washington Post's so-called conservative Jennifer Rubin,, among others, will claim they are simply sticking to "principles," but in many cases they have flipped their long-held positions on huge conservative topics, simply to oppose President Trump, or "resist" him, much like the far left liberals. One prime example of this is Jennifer Rubin, who was taken to task back in December 2017, by National Review's Charles Cooke, for her ever-changing positions, not based on any "principle," but based on who was the President. The illustrations are endless. In two years, Rubin has gone from arguing that the “ludicrous,” “absurd” Iran deal “has to go” — and, indeed, that John Kasich was a fool for contending otherwise – to praising those who believe it must remain in place as “reasonable” “experts,” and predicting that even to decertify would put “American credibility” at “risk.” In 2015, she wrote that “if you examine the Iran deal in any detail, you will be horrified as to what is in there.” In 2017, she characterizes this position as the “emotional” “temper tantrum” of an “unhinged president.” A similar metamorphosis has sullied her views on tax cuts, welfare, energy, and gun control (before, after), as well as her attitude toward Jews and anti-intellectuals, which once led her to defend Sarah Palin, but which now leads her to condemn Trump on almost all of the grounds she once dismissed. I use Cooke's criticisms of Rubin for a reason. Cooke is not exactly a fan of President Trump's and is as likely, or more so, to criticize President Trump as he is to praise him on policy, while still adhering to his prior positions on issues, and is able to acknowledge policy decisions he agrees with, without throwing in an ad hominem attack, every other sentence. In other words, unlike the others, Cooke is able to put his personal opinion of Trump the man to the side, to discuss Trump the President. Cooke is a Trump critic, but not so blinded by rabid hatred as to allow his dislike to discredit his work. NeverTrumpers on the other hand are exactly like their liberal counter-parts in the #resistance, in that policy doesn't matter, conservative goals and issues don't either, all that matters is resisting anything President Trump does, at all costs. NEVERTRUMPERS ATTITUDE PROBLEM Most all the well known "conservative" NeverTrumpers have the same "tone" in their articles, and even can be seen in their social media feeds. The attitude of we are "true" conservatives, as if anyone that disagrees with them are not conservative at all. As most were highly influential in the past, much like the establishment media, they almost always give the impression that they "know best," and the rest of the conservative peons should listen to their betters. Their waning influence, their inability to prevent Donald Trump of winning the 2016 GOP nomination, and the inability to wield their influence to prevent him from being elected President, appears to have left them angry at those that supported Donald Trump, or even just voted for him over Hillary Clinton when those were the only choices left, and that bitterness can be seen in almost everything they write and say in interviews. Look, NeverTrumpers have the right, the obligation even, to vote according to their own beliefs. What they don't seem to understand, because they are blinded by hate, is everyone else has that same right. Listening to them or reading their work, one often gets the impression of a parent lecturing their grown children on what they should or shouldn't be doing. Trying to regain their influence by opining on reasons why one should be allowing their "intellectual betters" to guide them and tell them who to support, what they should be prioritizing, what should be important to them. In this CRTV video brief below, we see who is funding certain NeverTrumpers. (Hint - Liberals connected to George Soros!) BOTTOM LINE We often see the so-called #Resistance on the left, and Nevertrumpers on the right, cast blame on President Trump for dividing the nation, without seeing the irony of their own blind and rabid hatred seeding those divisions. The criticisms from both groups often mimic each other. As seen above, those "principled" conservatives are more than willing to be funded by liberal groups, even those connected to George Soros. They would rather lie in bed with pro-abortion, gun control radicals, than to accept that the majority of Republicans disagreed with their establishment, political class opinions, and voted for President Trump in 2016. Also like those liberal resistance radicals, they are continuing to have their 3+ year temper tantrum against our President, and in the case of the Weekly Standard, we see the destruction it can cause. John Nolte over at Breitbart sums it up the best: Sarcasm aside, that is the Weekly Standard’s primary problem. In the age of Trump, the publication offers nothing we cannot get everywhere else in the elite media, nothing we cannot find at the far-left Washington Post, MSNBC, New York Times, CNN, etc. Smug virtue-signaling and superior Trump-bashing are the cheapest commodities in today’s news business. They are literally everywhere. And so, instead of offering a unique voice and perspective in an ocean of left-wing media, the Weekly Standard instead chose to sit in the middle of this ocean and sell saltwater. The bottom line here is there is nothing wrong with criticizing President Trump when one disagrees with his policy decisions, nor is there anything wrong with praising the choices we agree with, but allowing blind, rabid hatred to steer your ship, will eventually sink that same ship. Authors Note: While I stopped reading the Weekly Standard years ago, which is a valid choice in a free market, and I may dislike that the magazine and their writers became so full of vitriol, it is still heartbreaking to see so many be affected with the potential loss of their jobs, especially at this time of year.

URGENT: RUSSIA PUBLICLY WARNS IT WILL LAUNCH AGAINST ANY NATION HOUSING U.S. NUCLEAR WEAPONS

Category: World News Thursday, 06 December 2018 12:44

The Russian military has announced that any nation housing US medium and short-range nuclear missiles will be targeted by Russia and fired upon in the event of a major war. The announcement, made by Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Russia, Valery Gerasimov, represents the somewhat inevitable conclusion of the scandal caused by clear-cut US plans to withdraw from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty. Russia has criticized the move since day one of the American announcement to withdraw from the historic treaty, citing that it endangers European and international security and vowing a response. That response has now come. It is known that the targeting of highly-strategic missile bases in the event of potential war will be done with nuclear weapons given that the sheer threat such sites pose means they need to be decisively knocked-out with one powerful punch. In other words, Russia has now threatened to extend its nuclear response beyond American targets in the event of a war between it and US forces, to virtually any country that houses American medium and short-range nuclear-armed missiles, whether that nation has attacked Russia or not.

America Must Immediately Exit These Three Groups In Order to Survive:THE UNITED NATIONS ,NATO AND THE FEDERAL RESERVE MUST BE NATIONALIZED!

By Dave Hodges The Common Sense Show

There are three organizations that America must exit immediately, if the Constitution and our standard of living is to survive. The three groups whose actions demand our quick and immediate . There are very specific dangers that globalization holds for America. Prewithdrawal from are NATO, the United Nations and any form of central banking participation. NATO. the United Nations, the United Nations and the central banks are working towards the unification pf the planet from a political, economic and culturevious regionalization efforts have demonstrated the development of a midpoint. For example, if economic consolidation is needed among several currencies, there needs to be an established level of value for the regional currency and eventually the global currency. For example if Currency A, the highest currency to be regionalized is worth 20 times more than the lowest currency, Currency B, which is worth $10. A midpoint must be established. In this simple example, the people holding Currency A would have to lower their currency to $15. this would represent a 50% drop in value. If we exclude for the 2/3’rds of illegal immigrants who are on welfare and the 35% of Americans that are on welfare, Americans have the highest standard of living. However, that would be given away through a regionalization/globalization of the currency. If you are an American citizen, you have the only system of government, a Constitutional Republic, in which civil liberties are enumerated and guaranteed regardless of who is in power. At best, there are other nations that say their people have sNuch liberties as freedom of speech, however, they exist in a Communitarian system of government in which rights are only guaranteed until it is no longer in the greater good. And who decides what is in the “greater good” or the “common interest”? Macron does not need to raise an European army to oppose Russia, China and the US as he stated last week. NATO has become the defacto army of the EU. On behalf of their central banker benefactors, NATO is doing its best to provoke WW III with Russia. They are rallying along the Russia border in a clear attempt provoke a Russian response. NATO is helping the Ukraine militarily challenge Russia, violate territorial waters and provoke Russian ships on the high seas. It is obvious that NATO is looking for a trigger event that will set off WW III. There is not one action that NATO is taking in terms of supporting the needs of the American people or its government. Yet, American financial support forms the backbone of the organization. The time to exit has come and there is an immediate need to withdraw. If we do not, millions of Americans will die in the war NATO is trying to provoke. The United Nations can be characterized as a collection of tin horn dictatorships fully that do not respect the rule of law and fully embrace socialism which has miserably failed everywhere it has been employed. I recently did a broadcast which fully explored the claim that the UN recently made when they said there were going to be the global authority by the year 2030. Further, I covered how the UN is demanding that member nations fine and jail anyone who express criticism of UN migration policy. These facts alone fully expose the fully loss of sovereignty of the United States. The UN fully embraces forced vaccinations, abortion and assisted suicides. They hold Christianity in disdain and frequently legislate against the religion. Their peacekeepers are anything but peacekeepers. They are frequently present where genocide is ongoing and the best example was Rwanda. The clear goal of the UN is the erasure of complete sovereignty for each member state. If the people of this country ever become a member of any global governance overseen by the UN, we could expect to see the complete loss of our constitutionally guaranteed freedoms. Under the UN our border security will be erased thus opening the door to terrorists entering who have bad intentions. You will experience the loss of self-expression, the right bear arms in self-defense and there will likely be no real due process. The time to exit the is now and the need is immediate. Presently, the Federal Reserve is raising interest rates in the midst of a low inflationary environment. This is devastating to an economy and is contributing to ups and downs of the stock market. The Federal Reserve would rather win the day for globalism than to protect the dollar. In fact the FED has announced they are staring their own bitcoin in 2019. I believe this is their escape hatch. Why does the Federal Reserve oppose Trump and is willing to deliberately hurt the economy? Because they oppose his brand of nationalism. They are dedicated to the formation of a globalist new world order. I would be remiss if did not mention the following (Henslin, Introduction to Sociology, 2015, page 412): From 1800-1913, the value of the dollar remained unchanged After the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913, the value of the dollar had dropped to three cents by 2015. The time to leave the Federal Reserve is now. The debt, owed almost exclusively to the bankers, needs to be repudiated. I recently interviewed ex-CIA Robert Steele, and he clearly stated the Federal Reserve must be nationalized. We are being assimilated into the collective. Your economic future, your sovereignty and freedoms are at risk. The only solution is for President Trump to use his power to withdraw from all three groups. Putin and China are in the same boat. America and Russia should form the new alliance with Russia after firing Mueller and indicting every Democratic Congress person who is aligned with foreign elements and have declared these allegiances (eg Feinstein, Schumer, Pelosi, et al). Russia and America are the new NATO. Debt repudiation is the new economic policy. National sovereignty trumps international law and treaties. This is all about nationalism vs globalism. It is 30 seconds to midnight.

Are We Sleepwalking Into Armageddon? Expert Warns Nuclear War Could Be Triggered By 'Trump Derangement Syndrome'

- Is WW3 The Globalists End Game? Civil Unrest Would Begin In Hours If Not Minutes

By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die December 6, 2018

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

Some people HATE the fact that I got along well with President Putin of Russia. They would rather go to war than see this. It's called Trump Derangement Syndrome! 7:27am - 18 Jul 2018

According to this important new story over at The Nation written by Stephen F. Cohen, an expert on U.S.-Russian relations, a nuclear war between America and Russia is increasingly growing likely due to the 'RussiaGate' allegations being spewed by the left for the last two years. Warning immediately within his story that the new 'US-Russia cold war' is even more dangerous than its 40-year predecessor that our planet thankfully survived, Cohen then hinted we may be 'sleepwalking' into Armageddon, with the possibility of a nuclear catastrophe rarely discussed within the mainstream media nor mainstream political discussions. Warning then that the latter months of 2018 have been littered with a mounting series of crises that only continue to grow worse, he then outlines for us how the core 'Russiagate' allegations have become a central part of this new cold war, constraining President Trump from working with Russian President Vladimir Putin to help cool the growing tensions. Paul Joseph Watson breaks down for us in the only video at the bottom of this story just how “Trump Derangement Syndrome” could actually 'trigger' this 'new cold war' to go 'hot' as even President Trump himself warned of in a tweet back in July as seen in the screenshot at the top of this story. From Cohen's story over at The Nation: In the latter months of 2018, the facts and the mounting crises they document grow worse, especially in the US political-media establishment, where, as I have argued, the new Cold War originated and has been repeatedly escalated. Consider a few examples, some of them not unlike political and media developments during the run-up to the US war in Iraq or, historians have told us, how the great powers “sleepwalked” into World War I: § Russiagate’s core allegations—US-Russian collusion, treason—all remain unproven. Yet they have become a central part of the new Cold War. If nothing else, they severely constrain President Donald Trump’s capacity to conduct crisis negotiations with Moscow while they further vilify Russian President Vladimir Putin for having, it is widely asserted, personally ordered “an attack on America” during the 2016 presidential campaign. Some Hollywood liberals had earlier omitted the question mark, declaring, “We are at war.” In October 2018, the would-be titular head of the Democratic Party, Hillary Clinton, added her voice to this reckless allegation, flatly stating that the United States was “attacked by a foreign power” and equating it with “the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.” Clinton may have been prompted by another outburst of malpractice by The New York Times and The Washington Post. On September 20 and 23, respectively, those exceptionally influential papers devoted thousands of words, illustrated with sinister prosecutorial graphics, to special retellings of the Russiagate narrative they had assiduously promoted for nearly two years, along with the narrative’s serial fallacies, selective and questionable history, and factual errors. And for those who somehow insanely believe that a war between America and Russia might be a 'good thing', as Dr. Peter Vincent Pry warned in this December 2nd story on ANP, even the United States military is finally warning about what such a war with Russia might bring in an extraordinary and sobering new report: nothing less than the end of 'America'. We've gone ahead and embedded the US military's new report in full at the bottom of this story for all to read if you haven't yet had the opportunity but be forewarned, the results show an America looking much closer to what the globalist-linked website Deagel.com is forecasting for America in 2025 than the America we live in today in 2018. As we've previously reported on ANP, without even detonating a nuclear weapon in a US city, Russia, China, Iran or terrorists who've gotten a hold of a nuclear weapon could inflict massive carnage upon America by exploding a nuclear weapon high over America. And as former Green Beret Jeremiah Johnson recently reported within this story over at SHTFPlan, he considers an EMP or nuclear war to be two of the three methods that the globalists may eventually use to usher in their 'end game' for America with the third method being a lethal, bio-engineered virus to help cull the masses. While many mainstream media outlets have called the 'EMP effect' science fiction, this new US military report confirms what people such as Dr. Peter Vincent Pry, Steve Quayle and others have long been warning about. And we get more confirmation of those warnings long given by the 'Watchmen' in this Washington Examiner story.: While it is focused on the devastating impact an EMP hit would have on the military, it appears to support a congressional warning that up to 90 percent of the population on the East Coast would die in a year of an attack that would dismantle or interfere with electricity, transportation, food processing, and healthcare. Consider just some of the warnings in the report from the United States Air Force Air University and the Curtis E. LeMay Center for Doctrine Development and Education. Citing figures from the Union of Concerned Scientists, the report: 99 nuclear reactors would likely melt down without electricity to cool them. 4.1 million would be displaced from areas around the nuclear plants as the radioactive cloud spread. Military and commercial jets, such as those built by Airbus, could be degraded. "Alarmingly, aircraft designed to carry large numbers of people and sizable cargo are allowed to operate without certainty about their level of resilience." Bases would be cut off, making defense and counter-attacks impossible. Civil unrest would start in “hours.” Power and GPS could go dark. “An EMP would cause instantaneous and simultaneous loss of many technologies reliant on electrical power and computer circuit boards, such as cell phones and GPS devices.” “Failures may include long-term loss of electrical power (due to loss of emergency generators), sewage, fresh water, banking, landlines, cellular service, vehicles.” 18 months or more are required to replace key elements of the electric grid that would be damaged or knocked out. According to this new story over at the Daily Mail that Steve Quayle had linked to on his website on Tuesday, Russia has just launched 5 new satellites into space and experts fear that they could be part of a new Russian secret weapon, weaponized to be used to destroy other satellites. And while their story didn't mention the satellites being used to deliver a nuclear weapon or EMP attack upon America, Dr. Pry and the US Congressional EMP Commission had previously confirmed that orbiting satellites could be used to do just that. And while ANP hasn't fallen for the propaganda making the rounds within the mainstream media that Russia is our dire enemy who wants to destroy us (they do realize that them dropping nukes on US soil means American nukes exploding upon Russian soil as well), we'll agree with Johnson that the 'globalist enemies of America within' are likely more danger to Americans than Russia ever will be, with Trump derangement syndrome pushing them and our world towards insanity. As we'd previously reported on ANP, should the corrupted faction of the deep state be held accountable for their myriad crimes against the American people, we'd expect nothing less than a burnt Earth take no prisoners attitude from them and with the globalists hands also elsewhere, such as the Ukraine, we wouldn't put it past them pushing the US into a war defending the Ukraine against Russia, possibly being the final straw that broke the camel's back. And as Johnson tells us in his story, despite President Trump working towards 'peace' between North and South Korea, the globalists have effectively kept North Korea in the game, potentially to be used as a patsy in a massive false flag EMP event to finish the 'takedown of America'. And all of this is designed to further strip away the rights of Americans while the globalists usher us ever further into their 'mark of the beast system'. From Johnson's story: By keeping North Korea in the game, they can be blamed any time the controllers decide to make it “lights out” with the EMP…it can be blamed on them. Notice the report is also big on the “solar storm” warning: another fallback position, for after a worldwide blackout with EMP(s), how would anyone be able to dispute that it was the sun? Simple matter to “persuade” any scientists who could argue the point to fall in lock step. The point is that North Korea is not “back” in the game: they were never out of it, and whether prompted by another nation or of their own accord, they do possess the capability of rendering an EMP strike against the United States. I do not avoid writing about it because the threat does not exist. I stand by my position that a nuclear war will begin with an attack by an EMP device, followed by an exchange of nukes. In the meantime, there are other things occurring that are destroying the country incrementally. My point of focus has been the development of the Surveillance State in the U.S. The (eventual) complete loss of liberty will be the result of the “Technocratic Society” being fully-formed that Brzezinski hungered for: with cameras in every home, tracking devices [cell phones, if you prefer] on every person, surveillance in every aspect of life, and a virtual-electronic police state completed. So with a nuclear war against Russia potentially as close as we've ever seen in our lifetimes, we'll close with several important excerpts from Club Orlov and their story "A Russian Warning", a story that while written back back on May 31st of 2016, prior to the presidential election, is still as relevant or more so now, at this very moment, than ever before. We, the undersigned, are Russians living and working in the USA. We have been watching with increasing anxiety as the current US and NATO policies have set us on an extremely dangerous collision course with the Russian Federation, as well as with China. Many respected, patriotic Americans, such as Paul Craig Roberts, Stephen Cohen, Philip Giraldi, Ray McGovern and many others have been issuing warnings of a looming a Third World War. But their voices have been all but lost among the din of a mass media that is full of deceptive and inaccurate stories that characterize the Russian economy as being in shambles and the Russian military as weak—all based on no evidence. But we—knowing both Russian history and the current state of Russian society and the Russian military, cannot swallow these lies. We now feel that it is our duty, as Russians living in the US, to warn the American people that they are being lied to, and to tell them the truth. And the truth is simply this: If there is going to be a war with Russia, then the United States will most certainly be destroyed, and most of us will end up dead. Their story continued, further confirming the US Military's new report as seen at the bottom of this story.: Thus, if tomorrow a war were to break out between the US and Russia, it is guaranteed that the US would be obliterated. At a minimum, there would no longer be an electric grid, no internet, no oil and gas pipelines, no interstate highway system, no air transportation or GPS-based navigation. Financial centers would lie in ruins. Government at every level would cease to function. US armed forces, stationed all around the globe, would no longer be resupplied. At a maximum, the entire landmass of the US would be covered by a layer of radioactive ash. We tell you this not to be alarmist, but because, based on everything we know, we are ourselves alarmed. If attacked, Russia will not back down; she will retaliate, and she will utterly annihilate the United States. And like the somber note delivered by the US military of America's destruction, their story concluded much the same, while telling the world outright that Russia has no intentions of attacking the US or any EU member state, unless they are attacked first. We are absolutely and categorically certain that Russia will never attack the US, nor any EU member state, that Russia is not at all interested in recreating the USSR, and that there is no “Russian threat” or “Russian aggression.” Much of Russia’s recent economic success has a lot to do with the shedding of former Soviet dependencies, allowing her to pursue a “Russia first” policy. But we are just as certain that if Russia is attacked, or even threatened with attack, she will not back down, and that the Russian leadership will not “blink.” With great sadness and a heavy heart they will do their sworn duty and unleash a nuclear barrage from which the United States will never recover. Even if the entire Russian leadership is killed in a first strike, the so-called “Dead Hand” (the “Perimetr” system) will automatically launch enough nukes to wipe the USA off the political map. We feel that it is our duty to do all we can to prevent such a catastrophe. So we urge ANP readers to please pray for a return to sanity for America and the planet with life as we know it sure to come to an end instantly for 325+ million Americans should nuclear war break out between the world's 2 global superpowers and potential extinction hanging in the balance should 99 nuclear power plants in America go into meltdown.

A Cautionary Tale

By Hal Lindsey

At a campaign-style rally in Florida last week, President Trump used Sweden as an example of what happens when immigration policies become too lax. He said, “We’ve got to keep our country safe. You look at what’s happening in Germany, you look at what’s happening last night in Sweden. Sweden, who would believe this? Sweden. They took in large numbers. They’re having problems like they never thought possible.” The media focused on the words, “last night,” but nothing out of the ordinary happened in Sweden the night before Mr. Trump’s remarks. Some Swedes felt offended by the remark, and struck back. Former Swedish Prime Minister, Carl Bildt, tweeted, “Sweden? Terror attack? What has he been smoking?” Speaking on the Fox News program, The Five, Bob Beckel seemed on the verge of losing control, yelling, “This president flat-out lied!” But President Trump never said there had been a terrorist incident in Sweden the night before. It’s easy to see how people got that impression, but they inferred it. He did not say it. Later, the President tweeted an explanation. “My statement as to what’s happening in Sweden was in reference to a story that was broadcast on @FoxNews.com concerning immigrants & Sweden.” Beyond the smoke and dust of the bruhaha over exactly what he meant, there is an extremely important point. Sweden’s immigration policy over the last 40 years stands as a cautionary tale for all nations. Sweden has long been a peaceful and prosperous nation. They used extremely controversial means to achieve their success, but they have had a lot of it. A 2005 commentary in the liberal London newspaper, The Guardian, called Sweden, “The most successful society the world has ever known.” That statement has never really been true of Sweden, but it shows the regard in which it was held not so long ago, particularly among liberals. Today things have changed. And the problem, as President Trump was trying to point out, largely traces back to irresponsible immigration policies. In 1975, the Swedish Parliament decided to bring in massive numbers of Muslims from the Middle East. Since then, violent crime has risen 300%! The number of rapes reported to police increased 1,472% — from 421 in 1975 to 6,620 in 2014. Sweden now has the highest per capita incidence of rape of any major nation on earth. A survey by the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention, an official government agency, shows that less than 25% of rapes in Sweden are even reported to police. Lest you think these are domestic issues, their study also found that, “In 58% of cases, the perpetrator was entirely unknown by the victim.” In an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, prominent Swedish politicians, Jimmie Akesson and Mattias Karlsson, wrote, “Mr. Trump did not exaggerate Sweden’s current problems. If anything, he understated them.” Just a couple of days after the President’s remarks, riots broke out in an immigrant neighborhood of Stockholm. They set vehicles on fire, threw objects at police, damaged buildings, and looted businesses. The same area saw riots in 2010 and 2013. As a Christian minister, part of my job is to point out the vast differences between the Gospel and other systems of thought, including Islam. But the United States government does not have my job. It can’t take sides among religious faiths. Yet, it must keep U.S. citizens as safe as it can while adhering to the Constitution, the law, and our nation’s core principles. Here’s the bottom line. The United States government doesn’t need to address the relative merits or demerits of Islam. But it does need to carefully vet anyone who wants to enter this country from a nation known to be a hotbed of terrorism. The White House has said that President Trump will probably issue a new version of his executive order on immigration sometime next week. The original order is tied up in the courts. It singled out seven nations — Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. It was not a travel ban from these countries, but a 90-day pause. We can expect the new order to cover the same countries. These nations are all predominantly Muslim. But the order was not a Muslim ban. The Obama Administration had already named these seven as “countries of concern.” President Obama was not singling them out because they are predominantly Muslim, but because they are hotbeds of terrorism, and because of the difficulty in vetting people from these countries. The Trump Administration took it a step further. It said it needs a 90-day pause in which to figure out how to safely allow immigration from these trouble spots. On a recent Hal Lindsey Report, I explained the reasons behind the choice of nations. “Each of them is known to have large numbers of terrorists and terrorist-sympathizers at every level of their societies. Six of the seven are either in the midst of, or in the immediate aftermath of, civil war. The seventh is the world’s most prolific state-sponsor of terrorism — Iran.” The new Administration needs time to find ways to appropriately vet people from nations in the middle of such chaos. And, to use the President’s words, it should be “extreme vetting.” We know that ISIS, al-Qaeda, and other terrorists regularly move among nations as immigrants. So, we must use every precaution. We don’t want them to bring here the kind of chaos they say they’re trying to leave behind. Remember Sweden.

Israel targets Hezbollah 'terror tunnels'

4 December 2018

Israel says it is blocking tunnels dug into its territory by the Hezbollah movement in Lebanon which were to be used to take Israeli citizens hostage. It said it was neutralising the "terror tunnels" before they became operational and a threat to civilian communities. It did not say how many tunnels there were, but said the operation would take place on Israel's side of the border. Tensions are high between Israel and Hezbollah, which fought a month-long war in 2006. More than 1,125 Lebanese, most of them civilians, and some 40 Israeli civilians, were killed in that conflict. It began when Hezbollah militants launched a raid into Israel, killing eight soldiers and kidnapping two others, who also died. Israel has warned that another war with the group is likely and has said it will use massive military force in any new fight. Hezbollah, which possesses one of the most powerful militias in the region, has threatened to attack Israel with its vast rocket arsenal if war breaks out. The Iran-backed Shia group has not yet commented on Israel's actions. What do we know about the operation? Israeli military spokesman Lt Col Jonathan Conricus said the activity was focusing on the border town of Metulla, with the area declared a closed zone. He said the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) were concentrating on a tunnel which began in a Lebanese civilian home, was at least 200m (650ft) long, and ran 40m inside Israel. The IDF announced the start of the operation, dubbed Northern Shield, on Twitter, with video footage showing heavy machinery boring in unidentified locations. Col Conricus said the tunnels were part of a plan by Hezbollah to "conquer the Galilee" region of Israel in a future conflict. He said the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas, which controls Gaza, had shared tunnel-digging knowledge with Hezbollah. In recent years, Israel has destroyed dozens of tunnels dug by Hamas under their shared border. The latest operation comes a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Brussels, where he was reported to have been updated on the anti-tunnel action.  Why are Israel and Hezbollah enemies? Hezbollah emerged with the help of Iran during Israel's occupation of southern Lebanon in the early 1980s. It sees itself as a resistance movement against Israel, but it is designated a terrorist organisation by Western states, Israel, Gulf Arab countries and the Arab League. Tunneling for Gaza's next war Who are Hamas? Life in the Gaza Strip  Hezbollah does not recognise Israel's right to exist and has been accused of carrying out a string of bombings and plots against Jewish and Israeli targets around the world over decades. Israel has also reportedly carried out killings against Hezbollah figures. There have been outbreaks of violence between Israel and Hezbollah across the Israel-Lebanon border, which is heavily fortified. Hezbollah has built up an extensive arsenal since the 2006 conflict, with Israeli intelligence suggesting it possesses up to 150,000 rockets. Israel has said it will not allow Hezbollah to obtain advanced missiles, and frequently carries out air strikes on arms being transferred to the group through Syria.

Conference Paves Way for Jewish-Christian Cooperation on Temple Mount

By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz December 5, 2018 , 1:17 pm

In the days to come, The Mount of Hashem’s House Shall stand firm above the mountains And tower above the hills; And all the nations Shall gaze on it with joy. Isaiah 2:2 (The Israel Bible™) The first Temple Jerusalem Convention took place at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center on Wednesday, aimed toward educating Christians about the relevance of the Jewish Temples to their belief. The focus is not only on the Biblical Temples but also on the future Third Temple written about in prophecies. In his opening address, John Enarson, the Christian Relations Director of Cry for Zion and co-organizer of the conference explained the ground rules for the conference. “The conference will be a meeting place of Jews and Christians with different perspectives. This should be done with mutual respect, acknowledging differences, and finding common ground on important issues without signing up for any political or religious position. We ask that all participants show grace toward each other.” Doron Keidar, one of the organizers and the executive director of Cry for Zion, has high hopes for the event. “This is like the first Zionist conference which brought people together to talk about their hopes and dreams for a Jewish state,” Keidar told Breaking Israel News. “That led to the establishment of the modern state of Israel. We are bringing people together to talk about the Temple Mount. It is pretty clear what can come from this.” Rabbi Tuly Weisz, head of Israel365, addressed the crowd, emphasizing that it was powerfully appropriate for such a gathering to be held during the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah. “Many Jewish holidays are about ‘they tried to kill us, we survived, let’s eat,’” Weisz jokingly told the crowd. “But Hanukkah is different. The Greeks did not want to kill us. The focal point of the holiday is about the non-Jews preventing the Jews from connecting to the Torah and about the Greeks defiling the temple. It is entirely appropriate to join in with Christians who have come to Israel to honor the Temple, the Torah, and the Jewish people.” “If you were the Gentiles back then, there would never have been a need for Hanukkah,” Rabbi Weisz concluded. The conference focused on a theory that is gaining popularity which claims that the Jewish Temples did not stand on the Temple Mount. According to the theory, both Temples were located further south in an area now recognized by archaeologists as the City of King David. This theory was most recently put forth in a series of books written by Bob Cornuke, a former police investigator with no training in archaeology. Cornuke has also proposed that the Ark of the Covenant was taken out of Solomon’s Temple and has been hidden away in a church in Ethiopia for hundreds of years. Several of the speakers addressed this theory. Harry Moskoff, the author of the A.R.K. report, discussed the archaeological proof of the Temples’ location as well as the lack of proof for the theory’s claims. Enarson believes the theory hides an insidious theological agenda. “Rejecting the Temple Mount is the last stand of Replacement Theology,” Enarson explained to Breaking Israel News in an interview in April. “Replacement Theology, a belief that Christianity replaced Judaism in the covenant between Abraham and God, was a core tenet of Christianity. Subsequent to, and because of, the Holocaust, some mainstream Christian theologians and denominations have rejected Replacement Theology.”

'Snaketivity' display by Satanic Temple installed at Illinois Capitol rotunda for holiday season

By Douglas Ernst - The Washington Times - Wednesday, December 5, 2018

Visitors to the Illinois Capitol rotunda this month will have a chance to see a “Snaketivity” display near a Nativity scene, a menorah, and other holiday decorations. Supporters of The Satanic Temple were thrilled this week when The Land of Lincoln installed its “Snaketivity” sculpture, which reads: “Knowledge is the greatest gift.” A sign in the rotunda informs visitors that denying such a display would violate the law. “The State of Illinois is required by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution to allow temporary, public displays in the state capitol so long as these displays are not paid for by taxpayer dollars,” the sign reads, NPR reported Tuesday. “Because the first floor of the Capitol Rotunda is a public place, state officials cannot legally censor the content of speech or displays. The United States Supreme Court has held that public officials may legally impose reasonable time, place and manner restrictions regarding displays and speeches, but no regulation can be based on the content of the speech.” “Beautiful! I want one for my house,” one person replied on the group’s Facebook page. (Click here for full article)

Public School Bans All Christmas Songs That Mention Jesus

3:00PM EST 12/4/2018 Todd Starnes

At Robious Middle School it's okay to sing about Rudolph and Frosty, but it's not okay to sing about the little Lord Jesus. Parents at the Virginia school received an email recently alerting them that Christmas songs mentioning Jesus would no longer be permitted. If that doesn't jingle your bells I don't know what will, folks. David Allen told television station WWBT that he received an email from the school's chorus teacher explaining that the school had decided to avoid singing "anything of a direct sacred nature in order to be more sensitive to the increasing diverse population at the school." "I'm trying to rationalize how you can encourage diversity and yet be exclusionary in one specific area," Allen told the television station. First Liberty Institute, one of the nation's top law firms handling religious liberty cases, said it is permissible under the U.S. Constitution for public school choirs to perform sacred music. "Federal courts have upheld the constitutionality of public school holiday programs that include the use of religious music, art or drama, so long as the material is presented in an objective manner 'as a traditional part of the cultural and religious heritage of the particular holiday,'" First Liberty attorney Michael Berry wrote in a letter to the Chesterfield County School District. Berry went on to cite several federal court rulings that indicate warbling "Joy to the World" and "Silent Night" do not violate the Establishment Clause. Putting legal precedent aside, let's be honest, folks—Jesus is the reason for the season. Todd Starnes is host of "Fox News & Commentary," heard on hundreds of radio stations.

'In God We Trust' Makes a Return to Schools, Public Buildings One State at a Time

Sarah Curlee | Crosswalk.com | Tuesday, December 4, 2018

Laws were passed earlier in 2018 that required or allowed schools, as well as other public buildings, to openly display “In God We Trust.” Florida is just one of the states in which these laws were passed. An article from CBN News reports that the same law was also passed for Arizona, which allowed their schools to display the state’s motto - “God Enriches” - in English, which can be seen in Latin on the Grand Canyon state seal. At this time, even more state legislatures are seeking to represent the presence of the Lord on their schools and public buildings. A few state lawmakers are even trying to permit or call for the Ten Commandments to be posted in schools and in other public places. In November, voters in Alabama passed an initiative allowing the Ten Commandments to be displayed on state property. Those in support of the initiative would like for it to become law and, if challenged, the conservative majority on the Supreme Court would give it the seal of approval. Back in 2017, Arkansas passed a law that was much like the one passed in Florida. Jim Dotson, Arkansas state Rep., sponsored the measure that called for the posting of "In God We Trust" in each and every school classroom. Following this, he has continued to help other lawmakers create laws that are similar in purpose. "Our history and our heritage is incredibly important, making sure that we as a nation remember our roots, remember where we came from," Dotson informed The Washington Post. "America is an exceptional nation. It's the greatest nation in the history of this planet. Obviously, that success is attributed not just to individuals but probably some higher power than ourselves." Florida state Rep. Kimberly Daniels (D-Jacksonville), who sponsored the bill to get "In God We Trust" in all public schools in The Sunshine State, spoke with CBN News in February, saying, "I believe with all the negativity going on, our children need to know the foundation of what this country is all about and what it was founded on." "God is positive; I put that forth like that because people want to make God a negative thing; God is good," Daniels explained. "And God is the Creator; He's the Initiator; He's the Alpha; He's the Omega, and our children need to see that because the eyes are the gateway to the soul." "And so they need to see that symbol, and it needs to be imprinted in their minds and in their hearts what it meant to the people who came to this country for religious liberty," she mentioned. One particularly powerful supporter of the passing of the bill is 17-year-old Mei-Link Ho-Shing, a survivor of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting spree that occurred earlier this year. She told The Post, "It's powerful because it reassures people of faith."

US conducts 'Open Skies' overflight of Ukraine, in message to Moscow

by Jamie McIntyre | December 06, 2018 10:43 AM

The U.S. has conducted an overflight of Ukraine, under the terms of a 16-year-old arms control treaty, aimed at sending a symbolic message to Moscow, the Pentagon said Thursday. “Today, the United States and Allies conducted an extraordinary flight under the Open Skies Treaty,” said a statement, released on the Pentagon’s website. “The timing of this flight is intended to reaffirm U.S. commitment to Ukraine and other partner nations.” The description of the flight as “extraordinary” refers to the fact it was not previous scheduled or announced, an official said. observation plane, did not fly over Crimea or any contested or Russian-controlled areas of Ukraine, the official confirmed. The overflight was requested under the terms of the 2002 Open Skies Treaty by the Arms Control Directorate of the Ukrainian General Staff, said Eric Pahon, a Pentagon spokesman. On board were observers from the U.S., Canada, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Romania, and Ukraine. In its statement, the Pentagon said the U.S. remains “resolute in our support for the security of European nations,” and it called Russia's seizure of Ukrainian naval vessels in the Black Sea near the Kerch Strait “a dangerous escalation in a pattern of increasingly provocative and threatening activity.” The Open Skies flight, with 25 U.S. military personnel on board, departed Joint Base Andrews on Nov. 30, traveled to Ramstein Air Base, Germany, and flew over Ukraine Thursday. “The United States seeks a better relationship with Russia, but this cannot happen while its unlawful and destabilizing actions continue in Ukraine and elsewhere,” the Pentagon said. The 2002 Treaty on Open Skies establishes a regime of flights over the territories of its signatories and is designed to promote openness and transparency in military activities through reciprocal unarmed observation flights.

AFM: CDC identifies 31 states with 116 confirmed cases of polio-like disease

By Debra Goldschmidt, CNN Updated 3:45 PM ET, Wed November 28, 2018

(CNN) There are now 286 cases of possible and confirmed acute flaccid myelitis in the United States this year, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  That includes 116 confirmed cases of the rare polio-like illness, also known as AFM, that leads to sudden onset of paralysis. That's 10 more confirmed cases than the agency reported a week ago. An additional 170 possible cases of AFM are under investigation. Since 2014 there have been 440 confirmed cases of AFM, most of them children. More than 95% of the patients with AFM this year have been children younger than age 18. The average age of those infected is 5, according to the CDC. Most of the children with confirmed cases experienced a viral illness with symptoms including fever and cough about three to 10 days before the onset of paralysis, the CDC said this month.  The patients with confirmed AFM are in 31 states, which the CDC has now identified for the first time. There are 15 cases in Colorado, the state with the highest number, followed by Texas with 14 confirmed cases. Nineteen states have no confirmed cases, and 12 states are reporting only one confirmed case, according to the CDC. It's not clear whether there is more of a risk of AFM in states that have a higher number of cases or if those states are just better at identifying and reporting patients. Although the CDC has encouraged doctors to report cases, there is no requirement to do so. Most AFM patients became ill between August and October, and according to the CDC, the number of illnesses has peaked every other fall since 2014. Even with the rise in cases, according to the CDC, "less than one to two in a million children in the United States will get AFM every year." CNN's Elizabeth Cohen contributed to this report.

JOHN NAISH: China’s modern-day Frankenstein babies – and a new genetic experiment that could wipe out mankind

Chinese scientist said he's changed fundamental genetic code of human babies

CRISPR editing was invented six years ago and banned in unborn children in UK

Uses an enzyme to snip out defective genes and insert ‘healthy’ genetic material

By John Naish for the Daily Mail Published: 19:02 EST, 26 November 2018 | Updated: 05:49 EST, 27 November 2018

This is the Frankenstein breakthrough that the medical world has long been dreading. A Chinese scientist yesterday declared that he has changed the fundamental genetic code of human babies, using methods that are banned in most of the world. The potential consequences are as alarming as they are unpredictable. No less an authority than Professor Stephen Hawking feared such experiments would one day create a race of ‘super-humans’, ending mankind as we know it. Researchers have already discovered that gene editing may cause a host of cancers as a result of interfering in a genetic code so complex we will perhaps never be capable of understanding it fully. The worst news of all? The technique used by the Chinese scientist is so cheap and simple, it could augur a world in which any would-be mad professor can rewrite the very blueprint of life, with no respect for the risks.  Of course the scientist in question, He Jiankui, an associate professor of biology at China’s Southern University of Science and Technology, does not describe it like this. He claims he is responsible for a medical breakthrough that can render newborns immune to infection by the HIV virus. He did it, he said, using a cutting-edge technique called CRISPR (or Crispr-Cas9 to give it its full name) to change the babies’ DNA before they were born. CRISPR editing was invented six years ago. It uses an enzyme that functions like a pair of scissors, snipping out defective genes, either in embryos or adults, and then inserting ‘healthy’ genetic material into the gaps. The UK, the United States and other leading nations have all banned the use of CRISPR editing in unborn children because the alterations cannot be reversed and may also be inherited by future generations. If the genetically altered Chinese babies survive to have children, then Professor He’s mutant gene — with all its unfathomable hazards — would be capable of infecting humankind in perpetuity. Nevertheless, the professor was able to forge ahead with his efforts — apparently without even telling his university employers. He revealed his work for the first time only on Sunday, at a conference on gene editing in Hong Kong. He said that he altered the embryos of seven couples undertaking fertility treatment, one of whom has since given birth to twin girls. The professor sought to disable a gene that creates a vital piece of the human immune system called CCR5, a protein that sits on the outside of our immune system cells. The HIV virus uses the CCR5 gene as a vulnerable conduit through which it can enter these immune cells, allowing it to infect and cripple the body’s defences. By deleting this gene, Professor He claims that he has made the twins invulnerable to HIV. But already, experts have said this promise is demonstrably false. Dr Dusko Ilic, a leading stem-cell scientist at King’s College London, explains that cases have already been reported where people naturally born without the CCR5 gene have, nevertheless caught the virus. Professor He’s tinkering may, thus, give his twins a dangerously false sense of security; worse, it could condemn them to early death from infections. It has been known for more than a decade that people born with CCR5 deficiency have compromised immune systems and face perilously raised risks of dying from flu and the West Nile virus. More chilling still, we also know CRISPR editing is fraught with other unintentionally lethal consequences. In June, two papers in the journal Nature warned that in patients being treated for other conditions, CRISPR editing can cause cancers of the ovaries, lung, breast, liver and bowel. In August, scientists at the renowned Wellcome Sanger Institute in Cambridgeshire reported that when specific genes in cells from humans and mice were edited, it left a mess of missing and moved DNA parts, the consequences of which may be disastrous. Professor He’s announcement is the realisation of a dread fear among respectable scientists that CRISPR editing may open the gates to a world of ‘garden-shed Frankensteins’. Professor Charis Thompson, a genetic ethics expert at the London School of Economics, has warned that even rank amateurs could start playing with the technology with ‘relative ease’. Indeed, Professor He has no evident experience of running human clinical trials, submitted none of his work to the ethical and medical scrutiny that is crucial in this field and has not even published his research in a scientific journal, where it would have been vetted by other experts. Instead, he says that he practiced by genetically chopping genes of mice, monkey and human embryos in his lab, before trying it for real on human babies, and has already set up two genetics companies and applied for patents on his dubious methods. CRISPR work on human embryos is permitted in China. But Professor He’s university employers say that they have been unaware of his activities. Meanwhile, around the world, responsible researchers are treading carefully, attempting to discover how gene editing might provide much-needed cures for human disease while trying to avoid disaster. Already some 2,700 clinical trials using CRISPR therapies are underway or approved around the world, aiming to combat diseases as diverse as cancer, muscular dystrophy and sickle-cell anaemia. A few genuine breakthroughs have been made. Last year, surgeons at Great Ormond Street announced that they had used gene editing to treat an infant with lymphoblastic leukaemia, a form of the disease that is otherwise incurable. DNA editing is also being used to turn cancer patients’ immune cells into a targeted killer army that, when injected back into the body, are capable of destroying tumours. All such work is performed on babies and adults, not foetuses. Many mainstream scientists are convinced that meddling with unborn humans is too unsafe ever to try. What’s more, one of Britain’s most renowned scientists recently warned from beyond the grave that we should abandon this field of science for everor risk destroying humankind. Last month, a posthumously published essay by Professor Hawking predicted that by tinkering with our own DNA, we are on the brink of creating a genetically modified master race capable of wiping us out. The mayhem would be unleashed, he predicted, by people choosing to edit and improve their and their children’s DNA. ‘Once such superhumans appear, there are going to be significant problems with the unimproved humans who will presumably die out,’ he predicted. ‘Instead, there will be a race of self-designing beings who improve themselves at an ever-increasing rate.’ Chinese scientists have already taken the first step by creating dogs with super-muscular bodies, to make them better for police work. We have only two hopes. The more immediate is that, as British experts are suggesting, Professor He is merely showboating and his work will ultimately come to nothing. In the long term, humanity needs to agree a complete global moratorium on gene-editing experiments on unborn human babies. This is the only way to provide a proper safeguard against the potentially disastrous consequences. Whether real or not, Professor He’s claims are a wake-up call, alerting us all to the mortal threat of Frankenstein meddling. If this alarm goes unheeded, the entire future of our species may be in peril.

Inside India's first elephant hospital where animals saved from cruel circuses and temples receive help for injuries and psychological trauma

The state-of-the-art facility in Mathura in the state of Uttar Pradesh is run by conservation group Wildlife SOS

Volunteers said many of the elephants are socially isolated and psychologically traumatised after captivity

According to World Animal Protection data, there are more than 3,000 elephants still in captivity in India

By Tim Stickings For Mailonline Published: 12:13 EST, 26 November 2018 | Updated: 14:00 EST, 26 November 2018

These pictures reveal India's first elephant hospital where animals rescued from performing at circuses and temples are given a chance to recover. The facility in Mathura, in the state of Uttar Pradesh, is run by conservation group Wildlife SOS and has so far saved 26 of the animals from captivity with the help of Indian state governments. Volunteers said many of the elephants are socially isolated and psychologically traumatized after their time in captivity, while many have ongoing medical problems. In addition to the elephants forced to perform for cruel entertainment, some of the mammals need emergency care after accidents with trucks or cars while working along busy highways and roads. The hospital is kitted out with portable X-rays and ultrasound machines, and includes an observation deck so that medics and their students can observe and learn about elephant treatments. There is also a hoist for comfortably lifting disabled elephants and moving them around the treatment area. According to World Animal Protection data, there are more than 3,000 elephants still in captivity in India. Captive elephants can be found all over the country, but the exploitation is especially found in the southern state of Kerala.

Sweden Is on the Verge of Going Completely Cashless: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

by Daisy Luther

Sweden is rapidly turning into a cashless society, which seems like the utopian dream of many a government figure. What could possibly go wrong from the government’s point of view? Isn’t it ideal that they could soon digitally control every single person in the country? Actually, quite a few things are going wrong. So much so that even members of the government are expressing concern.  Sweden is the most cashless society in the world The change is happening fast in the European country. “No cash accepted” signs are becoming an increasingly common sight in shops and eateries across Sweden as payments go digital and mobile… …Sweden is widely regarded as the most cashless society on the planet. Most of the country’s bank branches have stopped handling cash; many shops, museums and restaurants now only accept plastic or mobile payments… …Last year, the amount of cash in circulation in Sweden dropped to the lowest level since 1990 and is more than 40 per cent below its 2007 peak. The declines in 2016 and 2017 were the biggest on record… …An annual survey by Insight Intelligence released last month found that only 25 per cent of Swedes paid in cash at least once a week in 2017, down from 63 per cent just four years ago. A full 36 per cent never use cash, or just pay with it once or twice a year. (source) Cash is used so infrequently that the government of the country has demonstrated concern. And this isn’t just in the big cities. A source in rural Sweden tells me that even in his remote area, the push to go cashless is omnipresent. What could possibly go wrong? The folks of Sweden have so little use for cash that it’s predicted many stores will no longer even accept it by 2025. And according to an article in the Financial Post, the government is beginning to have second thoughts. …The government is recalculating the societal costs of a cash-free future.  The financial authorities, who once embraced the trend, are asking banks to keep peddling notes and coins until the government can figure out what going cash-free means for young and old consumers. The central bank, which predicts cash may fade from Sweden, is testing a digital currency — an e-krona — to keep firm control of the money supply. Lawmakers are exploring the fate of online payments and bank accounts if an electrical grid fails or servers are thwarted by power failures, hackers or even war. (source) And the potential of a down-grid situation isn’t the only problem. Older Swedes and immigrants who aren’t really involved in the digital society could have great difficulty making transactions. Consumer groups say the shift leaves many retirees — a third of all Swedes are 55 or older — as well as some immigrants and people with disabilities at a disadvantage. They cannot easily gain access to electronic means for some goods and transactions, and rely on banks and their customer service. (source) We all know some folks who eschew online banking and never use a debit card. Many of these people are senior citizens who aren’t ready to learn a new technology. As well, there’s a cost involved in taking part in a technological economy: smartphones, internet service, and computers are simply not a part of the lifestyle of many folks. One group, the Swedish National Pensioners Organization, is attacking this issue by teaching classes to get them more comfortable with digital transactions. “We have around 1 million people who aren’t comfortable using the computer, iPads or iPhones for banking,” said Christina Tallberg, 75, the group’s national president. “We aren’t against the digital movement, but we think it’s going a bit too fast.” The organization has been raising money to teach retirees how to pay electronically, but, paradoxically, that good effort has been tripped up by an abundance of cash. When collections for training are taken in rural areas — and the seniors donate in cash — the pensioner in charge must drive miles to find a bank that will actually take the money, Tallberg said. About half of Sweden’s 1,400 bank branches no longer accept cash deposits. “It’s more or less impossible, because the banks refuse to take cash,” she said. (source) Just to emphasize…”the banks refuse to take cash.” THE BANKS. The reason given for the refusal to accept cash is that they wish to prevent recurrences of the violent robberies that took place in the early 2000s. And of course, there’s concern of government control. It seems rather ironic that it’s the government pointing out the possibility of trouble with government control in a cashless society, especially since they’re considering rolling out a new digital currency called the e-krona. The central bank has plans to roll out a pilot version next year of a new type of Riksbank money — the digital krona, or e-krona — that could replace physical cash or at least help calm the current cash conundrum. An e-krona would mean that the functions of a currency backed by the state would remain, even in an all-digital world that is fast approaching. Christine Lagarde, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, noted last week that several central banks were “seriously considering” digital currencies. (source) Just imagine: If the government were in charge of the digital currency, the amount of control they’d have would be breathtaking. Could they simply make your digital currency invalid if you owed taxes or were suspected of a crime? Could they wipe out everyone’s online accounts in the event of some kind of bank holiday or economic collapse? If the grid went down in a long-term way, all you’d saved would be lost forever. A short power outage would cripple communities. Every single purchase you make would leave a digital footprint, and huge amounts of personal data could be mined from it. And what about the possibility of online bank robberies carried out by hackers? The list of things that could go wrong is infinite. And of course, it all goes back to microchips. Out of all the nations in the Western world, it seems that Sweden is the most enthusiastic about the embedding of microchips into humans “for convenience” purposes. Recently, Adam Palmer wrote about how thousands of Swedes were voluntarily getting the chip for their own convenience. The microchip “bypasses the need for cash, tickets, access cards, and even social media,” according to the Daily Mail… …In June, 2017, SJ Rail, the Swedish train operator, announced that 100 people were using microchips for train rides, obviously indicating that the rail system was already set up to handle the payment system before anyone was ever microchipped. For this system, passengers with a microchip in their hand have their ticket loaded directly onto the device and the train conductor can read the chip with a smartphone to confirm payment. The Daily Mail paints the chip in a positive light, recounting the opinion of Szilvia Varszegi, 28, who said the chip “basically solves my problems.” The “problems” Ms. Varszegi is referring to is apparently the “problem” of manually purchasing a ticket or engaging in a phone-based transaction. (source) Well, thank goodness poor Ms. Varszegi’s horrible burden has been lightened. Many readers expressed dismay, shock, and revulsion at the very idea of having a chip implanted in their bodies, and I’m with you. But we’re witnessing something important here. We’re watching an alarming glimpse at the future. The endgame of complete control truly seems to be in sight as more and more Swedes go cashless.

Islamic call to prayer 5 times daily is among things New Yorkers hate most about the city

By Pamela Geller - on November 26, 2018

The break of dawn blood-chilling daily call-to-prayer, amplified no less, is a violation of our individual rights. It is harassment and supremacist. This is not Istanbul. And New York City has more restrictions on quality of life issues than most major cities. Discos, nightclubs, etc. all have to adhere to noise regulations, etc. Despite far exceeding the city’s noise control and EPA regulations, these mosques are not fined or forced to lower the piercing caterwaul. But an Orthodox Jewish synagogue in Williamsburg was fined for a once-a-week alarm heralding the arrival of Shabbos. They take over neighborhoods, driving out residents:

The Post rummaged through the last eight years of complaints to the city’s 311 hotline — 19,038,027 gripes — and found they painted an intimate portrait of the city’s neighborhoods. The city launched the hotline in 2003 to field grievances about everything from harboring bees to blaring TVs. Every day, 1,755 categories and subcategories of complaints in the online 311 database are automatically updated by the city’s Department of Information Technology. A Post analysis of the 311 data by ZIP code not only revealed what New Yorkers love to hate, but where they hate it most: A noisy mosque No moments of silence Cypress Hills, Brooklyn, should pray for peace and quiet. The 11208 ZIP code had the most complaints about noise from a house of worship, with 403. More than half of the complaints list the address of a mosque, Masjid-Al-Aman, where an imam issues a lyrical call to prayer five times a day via a loudspeaker that reaches a 20-block radius, according to Gothamist. But the top address for complaints about a noisy house of worship come from a Hindu temple in Queens, with 287. The temple’s president blames the ruckus on a neighbor blaring Nation of Islam speeches through his window across 110th Street, The New York Times reported.

The New World Order Will Rise Out Of The Nuclear Ashes Of The Old World Order: Has The 'Head Luciferian' Given The Go Signal?

- Billions May Only Have '20 To 30 Minutes To Extinction' Once World War 3 Goes Hot

By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

If others have noticed the sudden onslaught of many different tumultuous global events seemingly breaking out at almost the exact same time and all across the planet, you're not the only ones. Between illegal immigrants rushing the border here in America and President Trump threatening to completely shut down the border to what appears to be a civil war breaking out in France, to the Ukraine and Russian hostilities threatening to have tragic consequences to the UK taking a very authoritarian 'brexit' from the EU, one which the EU dictated most of the terms, the 'simmering' that we've long been witnessing is headed towards a total boil over. And while all of these events might seem unrelated to some, they're all much easier to understand and decipher as being part of a package when we understand the 'global nature' of 'globalism' and the 'globalists', where people like Hillary Clinton, George Soros and Barack Obama to name just a few are able to play all sides and have clearly put 'globalism' ahead of 'America'. And while the situation between Russia and the Ukraine is happening thousands of miles away from America, that region has suddenly become the world's most dangerous powder keg as a regional war there between Russia and the Ukraine could quickly turn global. Should NATO and/or the US jump in to defend the Ukraine and directly attack Russia, tens of millions of Americans and billions across the planet might only have 20 to 30 minutes to prepare for nuclear war should Russia follow through upon its promises to attack those who attack them. And when they've warned they'd 'attack', they've clarified by warning they'd obliterate us.

As Politico reported back on June 11th, Americans are completely unprepared for a nuclear attack upon our nation. While Russia has built nuclear fallout shelters for a large percentage of the population of Moscow, Poltico reports the US government hasn't made it easy for Americans to know what to do if nukes start raining down upon America. In fact, most of the bomb shelters here in America were built for the Washington DC elite. What would you do if suddenly you got that 20 to 30 minute warning? Warning within their story that "the U.S. population would theoretically have a 20- to 30-minute warning before the multi-megaton bombs began bursting in air, spreading radioactive fallout in overlapping lethal circles and the lights started going out—for good", life as we know it instantly comes to an end in such a situation. And with the president of the Ukraine declaring martial law while the United Nations Security Council has an emergency meeting to discuss these latest events, the world may be closer to WW3 than at any time in years. And while some here in the US would go out of their way to get us into a war with Russia, we must remember Russia now holds nuclear superiority over America due to their unstoppable hypersonic nuclear weapons. Including their Satan 2 nukes, that could allegedly wipe out an area the size of Texas, along with their new artificially intelligent POSEIDON submarine robot nukes that experts have warned could deliver a nuclear strike upon our East or West coasts that causes a tidal wave, would it really be worth it for America to defend a belligerent, war mongering Ukraine against Russia if it means the deaths of most of us? From the Washington Standard: A respected foreign journalist living in Ukraine is warning that a war that most Americans cannot even imagine “teeters on the razor-thin edge of becoming real”. When Russia opened fire on Ukrainian Navy vessels and captured three of their ships, it made headlines all over the globe. An emergency meeting of the UN Security Council was hastily arranged for Monday at 11 AM, and hopefully, there will be a positive outcome from that meeting. Because right now Moscow and Kiev are on the brink of war, and once a Russian invasion happens there will be no turning back. At that point the U.S. would have a major decision to make, and if we chose to defend Ukraine that could mean that we would suddenly find ourselves fighting World War 3. And look at what's happening now in Europe, specifically France, where protesters against rising fuel taxes have led to the streets of Paris on fire with some warning of civil war. While France's president Macron has slammed the protesters and their violent tactics, police there have struggled to maintain order and as this new story over at The Guardian reports, a huge reason behind the protests is that the people of France are becoming more and more in debt and many can't even afford to eat. When we remember what has long been reported within the independent media about how dangerous hungry people can become, it's easy to understand how the situation in France may completely spin out of the control of authorities there and a widespread civil war or revolution actually take down Macron in the future. And while Britains demanded and voted for 'change' with #Brexit, we're not the least bit surprised that the globalists are making that as difficult as possible as they see their own control slipping away. In fact, with the head of the UK Army recently claiming Russia is of more danger to the UK than ISIS, Britainers should remember that a Russian nuclear strike upon their country would only take 20 minutes to reach its destination, "20 minutes to extinction", so why continue to poke the Russian bear? And we see in this new story over at the Organic Prepper that the nation of Sweden is taking another step in a totalitarian direction with Sweden rapidly turning into a cashless society. Giving the Swedish government 'digital control' over every single person in the country, as their story asks, "what could possibly go wrong?"  And we also see that Justin Trudeau and Canada are making a faustian deal with the devil as the Gatestone Institute reports within this new story by allowing their nation to become nearly a completely borderless country. And within their story we see why globalists rarely criticize other globalists and practically never criticize unlimited immigration. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, it seems, adheres to the principle of globalism, according to which the world is borderless, and the idea of sovereign nation-states is both reactionary and obsolete. In this borderless world, the governing body is the unelected, untransparent, unaccountable and deeply corrupt United Nations and its agencies, which possess the authority to legislate international law that is then enforced by member states. The Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration is a document detailing the requirements for UN member-states to adopt as policy that amounts to unfettered global migration. Trudeau has bought into this UN agenda and has decided to impose it on the Canadian people without their prior knowledge or consent. The Global Compact requires the media outlets of member-states to adhere to the objectives and refrain from any critical discussions of these objectives that would be deemed as not "ethical" and against UN norms or standards consistent with the ideology of globalism And now we see much of the same that happened to Europe happening here in America with illegal aliens storming the border and playing perfectly into the hands of George Soros and the Democrats who need the votes of illegal aliens to win the presidency back in 2020. With the msm once again turning to their 'it's for the children' angle we'd love to ask them, what about all of the homeless children in America, which number an absolutely heart breaking and staggering 2.5 million a year? As Steve Quayle had mentioned while linking to this recent story over at Breitbart, "Sympathy for the devil. Create humanitarian crisis and voila, the UN comes to the rescue, forcing these warriors into the USA!" The conclusion to Steve's note cannot be overemphasized: "This is the fight for the future of our country!" And while the mainstream media will always highlight a child or two at the border, as Pamela Geller reported in this new story over at the Geller Report, a recent video of these 'invaders' taken in Tijuana at a food line showed only young men of military fighting age, with not a child in sight. Remember that back in October of 2016 during a presidential debate, then candidate Donald Trump warned of Syrian refugees potentially being a great trojan horse. Are we witnessing one again just south of the border? And though we do not have absolute proof that all of these global events are coordinated as a last gasp globalist effort to regain their quickly waning power, with the globalists able to 'pull strings' all across the planet, we wouldn't put it past them with the Kerch Strait incident looking more and more like an intentional provocation by the Ukrainian government to gain Western sympathy and score political points ahead of their 2019 election. Other hotspots to watch out for over the following days, weeks and months include escalating tensions between the US and China in the South China Sea as well as the possibility of tensions heating up between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan, each should they heat up simultaneously being more signs of an outbreak of global war.  And as Steve Quayle recently warned us, should suddenly we hear of Vladimir Putin evacuating the citizens of Moscow to the bunkers, it's 'game on' and Americans should know that time is very, very short. It's long been warned that the globalists will have to take down America before completely establishing their 'new world order'. And like the phoenix rising from the ashes, their 'new world order' will be built out of the ashes of the 'old world order'. Will they be 'nuclear ashes'? Has the 'head globalist luciferian' given the 'go signal' to bring this 'old order' crashing down? Certainly a large part of the 'crash and burn' will include a new global financial system and as Catherine Austin Fitts recently warned USA Watchdog's Greg Hunter, "we are living with maximum uncertainty" and "clearly, we are headed into a new currency world that’s part of a new control system, but the answer is we don’t know when." And remember, all the way back in 1988, globalist mouthpiece The Economist predicted a new global currency by 2018, represented on their front cover by a phoenix rising from the ashes of burning fiat money. We've also long believed that the globalists will carry out a 'scorched Earth' policy all across the planet before allowing themselves to be taken down. With all of these global events happening concurrently and the globalists having their hands in each, as Susan Duclos reported today on ANP, during days like these where it feels like the entire world has gone mad, we turn to Jesus and pray that we are safely delivered to the other side, with a return of sanity to our world that's deeply in need of it.

Heavily Armed Central American Paramilitary Troops Crossing the US Border In Remote Locations-Russian False Flag Is Looming

Repeatedly, I have bee informed by deep cover intelligence sources, that the Port of Entry (POE) locations along the border (eg Tijuana) will not be where the real action lies. The real action will lie in remote border crossings where low lying fences and water are the only barriers. What We Know About the Caravans The so-called asylum seekers are 75% male are under the age of 35 and appear to very athletic. When these groups have arrived at the border, a border patrol agent appearing on CNN stated “they push the women and children to the front of the line and the terrorists in the back begin to rock (meaning throw rocks) at our personnel”. CNN could not have ended this interview any more abruptly because this was not the pre-determined narrative that the anti-Trump network wants to promote. The waves that have arrived at the border are a paramilitary army, the vanguard of the Red Dawn invasion force written about by myself for the past four years. My DHS source, over a month ago, predicted the use of these tactics at the border and they have come to pass. When I received confirmation from another intelligence source, I published the following warning about planned violence at the border which included the migrants, actually MS-13 and ISIS placing women and children in the caravans in harms way. Here is that report. However, during the same time frame, I learned that the border incidents which are coming are more a distraction. The real action will come away from the border and subsequent to receiving this information from a former ARSOF officer, I published the following report: Further, Paul Martin filed a report with the CSS in which his intel sources have told him that the terrorists have distributed pre-stored weapons caches for use by terrorists when they infiltrate into the interior of the country. Further, I published the following report which speaks clearly to the intent of what is coming from these invading caravans. Groups like ISIS and Somali terrorists who have embedded themselves just on the other side of our Southern border with Mexico and they will be unleashed to accompany terrorist members of the caravans who have broken away from the main invasion force and are seeking means to enter the country away from the traditional POE’s. Here is a report I recently filed on the Somali threat on our border A False Flag Event To Frame the Russians  Putin and Trump, as previously stated here on the CSS, would very much like to establish a solid military alliance against the NWO. Conversely, French President Macron has repeatedly criticized both Trump and Putin for being nationalists. In fact, Macron has called for the creation of an European army to oppose Russian, China and the United States. The sides are being drawn into a future war between nationalists and globalists. The globalists are determined and desperate to keep the US and Russia apart. This is the reason behind Mueller’s Russian-collusion-delusion. It is the reason that underlies Macron’s call for a European army. In yesterday’s article I detailed how fake Independent Media journalists are being embedded into the IM to deceive and mislead the public. Fake reports of Russian tanks are also designed to keep Russia and the US from uniting against the globalists. Now, as Paul Martin has reported, we see Russian weapons being pre-deployed presumably for use by terrorist border jumpers. Can there be any other conclusion than the Russians are going to get framed for terror attacks on American soil, thus furthering the goal of keeping Putin and Trump apart. Does Trump know about this? Yes he does. And he has taken steps to stop these interlopers who have broken away from the main caravans to cross in force as an invading army. However, the CSS has learned that Trump has two devastating weapons waiting for them when they cross. That will be the topic of the next installment of the CSS.

U.S. Offensive Aerospace Capabilities Directed Against the Whole Planet: America’s MUOS Satellite Communications System in Sicily

November 25, 2018 By Manilo Dinucci

“The M5S (5 Star Movement) divided about the Sicilian maxi-radar”, headlined the Corriere della Sera, thereby spreading a maxi fake news – not about the directorate of the 5 Star Movement, which, after having won an electoral consensus with the “No MUOS” in Sicily, is now backing off – but about the very object of the dispute. By defining the MUOS station in Niscemi as a “maxi-radar”, they are fooling public opinion into believing that it is an Earth-bound electronic scanning device, and therefore defensive. But on the contrary, the MUOS (Mobile User Objective System) is a new satellite communications system which extends the offensive capacity of the United States to the whole planet. The system, developed by Lockheed Martin for the US Navy, is composed of an initial configuration of four satellites (plus one in reserve) in a geo-stationary orbit, and linked to four terrestrial stations – two in the United States (Hawaï and Virginia), one in Sicily and one in Australia. The four stations are linked by a network of terrestrial and submarine fibre-optic cables (the station in Niscemi is connected directly to the station in Virginia). The MUOS, which is already in function, will become fully operational in the summer of 2019, attaining a capacity 16 times superior to that of the preceding systems. It will simultaneously transmit ultra-high frequency coded messages of vocal, video and data material. So submarines and warships, fighter-bombers and drones, military vehicles and on-the-ground units of the US and their allies, will thus be linked to a single command network of control and communications under the orders of the Pentagon, while they are operating anywhere in the world, including the polar regions. So the MUOS station in Niscemi is not a “Sicilian maxi-radar” which guards the island, but an essential element of the planetary war machine of the United States. The same role is being played by the other main US and NATO bases in Italy. The Naval Air Station Sigonella, a few kilometres from Niscemi, is the base for the launching of military operations mainly in the Middle East and Africa, carried out by special forces and drones. The JTAGS (Joint Tactical Ground Station), a US satellite station of the “antimissile shield” deployed at Sigonellaone of the five with global reach (the others are situated in the United States, Saudi Arabia, South Korea and Japan) – serves not only for anti-missile defence, but also for attack operations commanded from advance positions. The Joint Allied Force Command in Lago Patria (Naples), is under the orders of a US admiral who simultaneously commands the US Naval Forces in Europe (with the Sixth Fleet based at Gaeta in the Lazio) and the US Naval Forces for Africa, whose headquarters are at Naples-Capodichino. Camp Darby, the largest US arsenal outside of the homeland, supplies the US and allied forces for their wars in the Middle East, Asia and Africa. The US 173rd Airborne Brigade based in Vicenza, operates in Afghanistan, Iraq, Ukraine and other countries in Eastern Europe. The bases at Aviano and Ghedi – sites of the deployment of US and Italian fighters under US command, and equipped with B61 nuclear bombs, which, as from 2020 will be replaced by B61-12’s – are an integral part of the Pentagon’s nuclear strategy. Incidentally, do Luigi Di Maio and the other leaders of M5S [1] remember that they took a solemn engagement with the ICAN (International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons) to ensure that Italy adheres to the UN Treaty, thus liberating Italy from US nuclear weapons?

The Tunnel of Babel

November 26, 2018Categories EconomyTags HollyO

Two physicists walk into a bar—actually, they stroll into a government office in a crumbling-concrete, linoleum-floored brutalist building styled on-the-cheap after Le Corbusier during the boomtown rush of the post-WWII nuclear frontier. They are prepared to pitch an idea that goes roughly like this: There is something we cannot precisely describe, nor are we able to quantify its dimensions, nor how it behaves, or whether it has any commercial application. We don’t even know if it actually exists but we think the people of the world owe it to themselves to find it, name it and pin it to the mat. We’ve got ten nations signed up and expect the rest to fall into line. Want a piece of the action? Bien sûr! the bureaucrat replies. Here’s a blank cheque—no—wait— just take the chequebook and let us know if you find anything worth selling. Bonjour! Bonne chance! For the past sixty-four years the people of earth not involved in CERN have been urged to accept the apocryphal tale above as gospel. We’re also recommended to overlook the compulsory purchase at rock bottom prices of enough villages and farmland on the border of Switzerland and France to enclose a one hundred and twenty-seven kilometre circle bored out of solid rock to a depth of one hundred metres and lined with the most expensive custom-purpose equipment ever invented. Like many of the most important things on earth you rarely hear about it on the nightly news. Though it’s a bit like discovering Zuul in your refrigerator, we are told that a statue of Shiva The Destroyer & Transformer of The Universe is the harmless centrepiece of the CERN campus in the same way we are ordered to get over the fact that the following videos of a shindig at the Gotthard Base Tunnel portray frolicking mountain mouflon native to the region. The dual ceremony—one above ground, one (initially) leaked from below—was attended by select members of elite-approved press topside and heads of state down under. Neither event appears to be produced at a discount. Both feature pyramids, all-seeing eyes, what appears to be the ascension of a fallen angel and a Very Hairy Horned One performing The Dance of the Fancy Pants.

It’s neither fluidly choreographed or perceivably scientific but like all things CERN it is fairly unsettling and smacks of unsavoury ritual. Just break a bottle of Aldi Prosecco over the thing and be done with it is my advice but CERN has never rated my skills as an event planner and I suspect they never shall. When I consider that my local allotment scheme could not manage to survive more than a year due to infighting amongst the board, CERN appears a miracle of international cooperation. It is the largest and most complex building project in history, yet hardly anyone seems to talk much about it in terms beyond, “Magnets, Mr White.” Mention CERN at your next dinner party. Observe. The resultant grasp of and focus upon the topic will appear strongly reminiscent of Douglas Adam’s Somebody Else’s Problem field: An SEP is something we can’t see, or don’t see, or our brain doesn’t let us see, because we think that it’s somebody else’s problem. The brain just edits it out, it’s like a blind spot. It relies on people’s natural predisposition not to see anything they don’t want to, weren’t expecting, or can’t explain. If Effrafax had painted the mountain pink and erected a cheap and simple Somebody Else’s Problem field on it, then people would have walked past the mountain, round it, even over it, and simply never have noticed that the thing was there. The Enemy long ago learned to exploit the fact that humans are programmable and that the best-written programs yield the greatest control over hearts, minds and attention spans. Write the proper code, compile it into a software format easily accessible by young hardware and it will endure, whether in the form of cultural affiliation, spiritual practice or Mum’s Table Manners. If well-written, originative programming is powerful enough even despite subsequent iterations and updates to resurface as a ghost in the machine, enhancing, conflicting with, detracting from or shadowing all future experience. Ergo: We are raised to be good citizens. We trust in our governments. Scientists are smarter than we are and work for the betterment of mankind. Do not be alarmed at the large hole in the ground. What’s on TV tonight? From time to time a perfect virus is written and implemented, Islam being the primary example of our epoch. No another belief system is more efficiently designed to enable, encourage and utilise to devastating effect all the lowest aspects of human nature. Nor one that discourages to the point of murder any attempted change or innovation to its command line. Islam’s highest tenet is a total avoidance of personal responsibility in the form of inshallah/if god wills it. This is taken to mean that if I try and kill you and you die then it is because god willed it, and if I try and kill you and you do not die then god did not will it but evidently wants me to try harder to kill you next time. Put another way, if I want to rape the goat and I do rape the goat it is because god willed that I rape that goat. And so on. Can you imagine how relaxing it must be to give up all responsibility for anything you will ever do? No wonder Islam attracts adherents like a tumble dryer filter attracts lint. The root word islam means submission and never on earth has there existed a more literal-minded doctrinal manual for conquest. For the ummah, this world is merely a stepping stone to paradise, hence the tendency to dismiss beneficial husbandry practice, ultimately transforming every land they inhabit into desert wasteland. Why plough and plant when you can take what you need by force from the productive civilisation next door? Inshallah, baby. Islam can only ever thrive with vast amounts of funding at its back; this makes it a tool—the pointy end of some great stick—but wielded by whom? And towards what ultimate goal? It is daily more apparent that we can change very little by voting. We are also beginning to realize that nearly everything we have been raised to believe—programmed to believe—has been expedient to the purposes of Our Enemy to allow us to believe at the time. One example springs immediately to mind: it was once policy to strongly recommend submitting to a list of injections as long as your arm when traveling to Africa; now a wave of vibrant vectors of disease are allowed to flood our streets with impunity and nobody gets a jab unless you count a machete to the neck. I can only conclude that it’s no longer necessary to recommend we maintain and preserve our health because it’s no longer necessary to keep so many of us around. In Airstrip One we are sent to prison and denounced as racist for defending the Good Citizenship Program that was factory-installed when we were little, for insisting upon the right to choose those with whom we wish to associate, to whom we rent a room, to whom we sell a house, for whom we bake a cake and who drives the taxi we climb into. We are penalized for defending our children from predators and paedophiles of the protected classes and for naming the teeming hordes by the accurate term invaders. We are served halal meat by default in schools, prisons, universities, hospitals and government canteens. We find ourselves nearing the end of a life spent toiling rather than taking, paying into pensions and saving what we can only to be told we are on a waiting list to retire after seven million bazillion non-Britons—and more on the way—are housed and cared for first. When all these changes are made manifest in just a matter of a few years one either goes mad, commits suicide or murder, dodges and weaves, shouts loudly, grumbles privately, succumbs to decline and disease and yet… and yet… I suspect everything we pore over and debate on the Internet—Banking, Brexit, bureaucracy, the voting system, EU, FBI, CIA, MI5, terrorism, child trafficking, slavery in Libyan open air markets and people having their private parts rearranged or chopped off entirely—all these things are piddly shit and shadows compared to CERN. And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years. And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. -Revelation 20:1-3 In the Mr Pot, There’s a Mr Kettle For You On Line Two department, I should admit that perhaps I seek refuge in matters I can never affect as an excuse to declare everything insolvable—Abandon All Responsibility Ye Who Enter Here. CERN is unfeasibly large, unwieldy to parse or explain, easy to dismiss, disturbing to contemplate. There is a compelling temptation to submit to despair when I ponder it, but I cannot shake the feeling that this enormous ring under the earth—the eighth of nine circles, perhaps, for I do believe we are victims of the greatest fraud on earth—just might be the front line of a spiritual war between The Avatars of Good and Evil Themselves. If it is true that on some level before birth we chose to come here and live this human experience, the looming battle just may be the reason we showed up—some to claim front row seats, others to take a stand on the front line. Simply stated, I may be unable to describe how it looks, how it behaves, whether or not it has commercial applications—even if it actually exists—I just know at a molecular level CERN is not a good thing at all—no thing this massive, complex, expensive, arcane, mysteriously-funded and palpably hinky ever could be. It was not built on a whim. Returning to what we can handle in the here and now; I will never have the muscle mass, forward momentum or endurance of a man and so I must strive to defend myself from a distance. When I walk the lonely places I carry a small skeggøx, a Sami puukko, eight well-worn, well-maintained throwing knives inside my gilet and a baseball bat upon which I have pyrographed the words, OFF SWITCH. There are still plenty of ways to protect oneself here if you have an outlaw heart. The worrying part is that Vibrants—like wolves and jackals and hyenas—attack in packs and I am but one F-Type hominid, programmed for personal responsibility and alone in Welsh old-growth forest because I grew up there, and I forage there, and I choose to retain my freedom to walk the wildwood. The defining difference between your culture and mine is The Second Amendment. Fight to defend your right to keep and bear arms and if that right is ever signed away, fight to take it back. It is the thin, gunmetal-grey line between you and an unfettered government entirely free to do what my government is doing to me and my people. If I speak to everything I suspect I know about CERN, best case I would be mocked, worst case I might actually tickle the truth by accident and be suicided. I have enough on my plate for now—I suspect that is what The Enemy aims for all along, for everyone to have enough on all our plates to never notice they are a threat. When times are good it’s natural to think, Where will I explore next, what adventure awaits me? To spin the globe, stop it with a finger and see the place you might touch with your presence one day. When times are otherwise it becomes a question of, Where will I choose to live and die? It’s brought me a measure of—if not peace, then resignation. I reclaim and rebuild peace of mind every day. Give us this day our daily equilibrium. When it becomes too onerous I go for the nuclear option: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentre_Ifan 

This place has never failed to fill me with a peace so present and profound that it seems to coalesce into form and shape, with a scent like honey and a weight like love. This dolmen has endured for the better part of six thousand years, perennially patient, utterly indifferent, a witness from a time before recorded history. Here the wind chases a chilly psalm through the negative spaces, the capstone appears to soar. I lean against a portal stone, close my eyes and know the place I choose to live and die is in this island realm, this precious stone set in a silver sea. This cold, clammy, violent, stubborn, treacherous and tempestuous isle is built upon the bones of my fathers, the land watered with the blood of the nameless, the faceless—some of them builders of Pentre Ifan. Someday soon, my own bones will join theirs. But not before the coming holiday is done, at any rate. Merry Christmas to us all, for as long as Christmas endures.

Democrat’s Rally Their Invasion, Spread Disease, and Cheer Market Decline

Dustin Koellhoffer November 26, 2018

An Obama appointed judge put a stay on President Trump’s ban on the Democrat’s army of Latin communist invaders. The president announced that he would not allow any of the thousands of Latin Communists invading America under the façade of refugees to run freely into the country. Hundreds stormed the border throwing rocks at American border agents. Democrat laws put restrictions of border security saying they may stop them to obtain identities and give them a court date but must release them into the country. 98% of them never show up for their hearing and remain at large hidden within the U.S. population. 98% of these people falsely claim refugee status. Many of these people are criminals, gang members, and terrorists. Democrats lie to our faces saying Trump is lying and that the intelligence community is lying when they declare this. Liberal congressmen say nobody knows the truth. So, if nobody knows then how do they know Trump is lying? This is two-faced liberalism at its finest. Most all the rest of these “immigrants” trying to be illegal aliens are Latino-communists intent on joining Democrat communists in overthrowing the Constitution through mass voter fraud. Democrats declared elections they lost to be frauds where “democracy failed.” Their lawyers argued that “every vote must be counted” including votes by non-citizens, criminals, and multiple votes by Democrat operatives. They successfully overturned two Senate races and twenty House races with post-election fraudulent votes. Americans should not and cannot tolerate this abuse of their good nature. When Latinos attempt to illegally cross the border to invade America to steal jobs and commit crimes, when they spread diseases in American communities to our children because they entered unexamined, when they falsely claim to be seeking refuge from their countries, yet proudly wave their country’s flag, they are not seeking asylum to become Americans. They are invading to subvert America. The Democrat’s who stupidly say, “They’re Americans, too,” only proves that their entire purpose is not to make America great, but to make America pay! This judge, like other leftist judges, is not upholding American law but subverting it. He is the one in violation of the Constitution. Why does President Trump allow these pissant judges to countermand his Executive Orders with unlawful rulings? He is America’s highest authority of law enforcement and these judges are going against American law. This is tantamount to the General of the Army taking orders from a junior lieutenant. Low-level judges blocked Trump’s Moslem ban for a year before finally working up through the court system to be overruled. Is he now to be forced to allow tens of thousands of invaders into the country on the word of a contemptible judge who is working for the Democrats? Obama’s executive orders shutting down offshore drilling and coal mining were both blocked by federal judges that he completely ignored keeping those cases from going to the Supreme Court. Democrats file their injunctions under their corrupt 9th Circuit to keep Trump from making America better through his overthrow of Obama’s orders to impede any resolution reaching the Supreme Court.

If these invaders just wanted jobs to live well, then they wouldn’t;

Sneak into the country to avoid immigration enforcement

Take jobs without paying taxes

Take government benefits from Democrats who steal from taxpayers

Hide from the law in Democrat sanctuary cities that are violating the law

And commit voter fraud and other crimes in those sanctuaries

Leftists are declaring these invaders to be their families for whom they are caring and compassionate. The difference between a rightist and a leftist is that, while both will put their own families first, the rightist will share what they can with others, while the leftist will take from your family to give to theirs. This is not charity, this is stealing, and this is the socialist model.

Chris Wallace interviews President Trump

Rush Limbaugh is America’s conscience. His honest assessments, brilliant insights, and righteous wisdom are the greatest guides for young people eager to learn rather than be indoctrinated lemmings. Chris Wallace was confronted by a righteous President Trump and left stammering as he failed to promote any of the Democrat agenda. While Wallace strives to be honest and bring out the truth, he, too, is corrupted by Democrat propaganda to mislead him. That is why he asked the wrong questions the wrong way and was confronted by Donald Trump setting him straight. What Democrats want is what they accuse Republicans of doing – stealing power through corruption. Democrats want Hollywood to boycott Georgia because a fat black woman lost the governorship to a Republican white man. Democrats are criminalizing white Christian men in a fit of self-righteous bigotry. Left coast elites choose Republican states in which to ply their trade in order to avoid the ultra-high taxes of California socialists. Is it remarkable to see Democrats fighting against Republicans who promote good business regulations and taxation? This is the warped thinking of liberalism. It is the essence of liberals backward think that they want to enjoy the benefits of Republican business taxes and regulations but will vote to replace them with Democrat socialists who will steal from them and drive them off. Liberal media Democrats are gleefully reporting the Stock Market decline and openly praying for an economic collapse. Since Democrats took back the House, all businesses know that they will be coming after them and are drawing back their investments. Democrats will happily blame the economic decline on Trump and ignorant Americans will believe them. How can they be so gullible and blind? That’s easy when 42% of them think Russia hacked the election, that Trump molests women, that Sarah Palin said she can see Russia from her house. What liberals believe has no basis in fact or reality, only in their own fictional narratives. That’s why they so easily fall victim to fear-mongering and then believe they are the victims of Republican fear-mongering. Corporations that are in the Democrat’s pocket want the socialists in charge believing they will be among the elites who profit rather than among those who are persecuted. This division in the population regarding facts is why 40% of people are Democrats, 40% are Republicans, and 20% are confused. Of the 40%ers, half of each group are the dedicated bases of their parties. On the Democrat side are the atheist socialists who are the ones that fully endorse Antifa violence, BLM riots, and police assassinations. They are completely devoted to destroying capitalism through immigrant invasions and giving criminals the vote even to the point of committing voter fraud. The other half are the ones they can dupe and fool all of the time to believe what they are told and taught to ignore the truth. On the Republican side is the TEA Party Christian conservatives who are fully cognizant of how America works and what their government is doing. They are the ones fighting to make America great again. The other half of Republicans are those who realize what is right and are not so easily duped. It is the middle that the Democrats vaunt as “wise” who are the most oblivious of events and can be swayed to one side or the other for their lack of understanding what is happening. Obama Nuked Economy in 2008 wants Credit for Trump’s Boom The liberal media teaches that “the Stock Market likes divided government.” A cursory study proves that the Stock Market likes it when Republicans restrain Democrats, but not vice versa. Democrats for the last century have been the bane of businesses preferring to shake them down rather than promote their prosperity. This is how leftism works. They believe the only way to get rich is to steal from others and that justifies them stealing it back. This warped morality is what the left is trying to push on America. The left embraces perversion, corruption, and persecution while declaring themselves to be compassionate, justified, and fair in their application of the laws they break. It should be a giant red flag to the people that Democrats say God is on their side. Righteous people pray that they are on God’s side. Throughout history, leftists have corrupted religion to suit their desires. From Islam to the Inquisition, the history of Blood Libel, the Templars, even the Salem Witch Trials, the left has purposely subverted religion and committed heinous lies by which to justify their mass murders. Genocides have always been committed by leftists. That they try to slander the right as being the home of Nazis just because National Socialist Germany went to war with Communist Russia is a bogus as their claim that racist rednecks became Republicans. Liberals are notorious for being ignorant of history-making wrong conclusions from their lack of knowledge. America made the wrong choice in allowing Democrat voter fraud to rule the nation’s Midterms. Until the election system is fixed then all other legal systems will remain corrupted by Democrats from immigration to taxes. Democrat’s only purpose to be in control of government so that they are in control of people’s money. Eight years of Obamaism saw America grossly decline, yet there are still millions of people who would reject Trump’s prosperity and embrace Obama’s management of America’s decline. Half of them do this because they have as little understanding of taxation and business as they do of science which is why they are so easily duped into believing the world will end because of global warming. Millennials dream of colonizing Mars when Earth dies. If they understood science, they would understand two important things; Mars cannot sustain life, and Earth always will. We can’t “kill the planet.” Bill Nye rains on Millennials parade of foolish Mars colony dreams It is not just foreign terrorists and domestic criminals who are the gravest threats to American citizens. Lack of education contributing to general ignorance allowing them to be duped by Democrats is also among America’s greatest enemies. This is why the left should never have been allowed to take control of America’s educational system to indoctrinate our youth rather than educate them. Our children have learned to believe fictions while rejecting reality such as colonizing a dead rock as a new place for the human race to live. They have been taught to be disobedient to authority and hold righteous people in contempt. America needs a moral revival and an education overhaul. Democrats, who say they are the ones who should lead this effort as the moral leaders when they are the ones who break laws, endorse perversion, encourage killing babies in the womb, and promote corruption in order to secure power for themselves, is why righteous thinking people understand that they should never be given power. That is why they must cheat to take it. Republicans and President Trump must conduct extreme enforcement of voter laws before Democrats subvert this nation to its doom. It’s not “fear-mongering” against immigrants as liberal Democrats claim. It is obeying American law as legal immigrants do who are the ones helping to make America great again. llegals just continue to do what is illegal. Democrats purporting to be the morality police Racism, Voter Fraud, and Corruption in Every Election Result

LIES Everywhere: Migrants Slam The Border, Fake Pictures, Fake Narratives…BOMBSHELL!

Posted by Lisa Haven | Nov 26, 2018 |

What a surprise! The mainstream media is lying to you, yet again, about the Migrant Caravan. They’ll tell you they are a group of peaceful immigrants who are “running away from violence and seeking Asylum in America.” That they are full of women and children and that President Trump is a bully. The truth is, the media constantly lies, cheats, manipulates and does anything they can to conjure up a story for the benefit of the New World Order ruling elite. In the video below, I prove that they “conjured” up multiple lies about the migrant caravan in order to “stroke the bleeding hearts of Americans” for the Democratic Globalist narrative of an illegal immigrant invasion that will literally tear about our very foundation.

Jerome Corsi rejects special counsel plea deal: Report

By Gabriella Muñoz - The Washington Times - Monday, November 26, 2018

Jerome Corsi, an associate of Rodger Stone, will refuse a plea deal with the special counsel Robert Mueller. “They can put me in prison the rest of my life. I am not going to sign a lie,” Mr. Corsi told CNN on Monday. Later, in an interview with ABC News, Mr. Corsi elaborated on his rejection and said he fully cooperated with the Mueller team. “The government wants me to plead to lying willfully and knowingly to the special counsel and the FBI, and I did not do that,” he said. The special counsel also took Paul Manafort, Mr. Trump’s former campaign chairman, to court on Monday for allegedly violating his plea agreement by lying to prosecutors. Mr. Manafort denies the accusation. On Friday, Mr. Corsi told The Associated Press he negotiating a deal with the special counsel, but did not elaborate on the details. Mr. Mueller’s team looked into Mr. Corsi, who formerly worked with the conspiracy website InfoWars, because of his connection to WikiLeaks and Rodger Stone. Investigators are probing Mr. Stone‘s, a former Trump campaign aide, ties to WikiLeaks and trying to determine if he knew about the DNC hack before the emails were published. On November 12, Mr. Corsi said he expected to be indicted by the special counsel’s team on a Youtube livestream, and said he felt they were setting up a “perjury trap” for him.

CIA & NSA CAN TARGET ANYONE, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME ON EARTH WITH MIND CONTROL TECHNOLOGY USING EITHER SATELLITES OR A LAND BASED FIXED PHASED ARRAY OF SCALAR WAVE TOWERS IN USA

The Darkish Aspect Fact About CIA , NSA , Darpa Thoughts Management Murderer Packages

CIA and NSA Operatives Concentrating on Mind of Monarch Program Victims of Thoughts Management Victims Day and Night time, however Primarily of their Sleep When They Are Most Weak. Every human being has a singular mind wave sample that’s considered one of a sort, identical to you might have a singular set of fingerprints. That mind wave sample is called your ‘Specific Residence Frequency’ which nobody else on the planet has like yours. It’s really distinctive a one in every of a sort mind distinctive mind wave sign. The CIA and NSA DARPA handlers are capable of lock on to that mind wave sign after they’ve moved near you and en-trained your mind to their distant neural monitoring system and obtain your particular brainwave frequency mind wave sample into their pc which the CIA and NSA handlers, and there are often 4 to 6 handlers in quantity as a result of they function in shifts, have for all times, which the CIA NSA handlers can then mimic, to induce all types of thought, feelings, cognitive talents, bodily sensations, and so forth. It’s because the human physique is a ‘VIBRATORY ORGANISM and an ‘ELECTROMAGNETIC ORGANISM’ and as such every organ of the physique ‘VIBRATES’ AT A totally different frequency of ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY! By various the FREQUENCY and INTENSITY of every beam of electromagnetic power, the CIA and NSA operatives can manipulate every area and organ of the human anatomy. Then the NSA CIA handlers use that particular mind wave frequency of the focused particular person to focus on you and manipulate your thoughts with thoughts management know-how. This can be a simplified method to clarify how REMOTE NEURAL MONITORING MIND CONTROL TECHNOLOGY works in actual time. Additionally they secretly ‘chip’ the focused particular person or his property with monitoring implants they will monitor by satellite tv for pc any the place on the earth. They use these monitoring implants to hone in in your bodily location to wherever you’re and as soon as you’re in a comparatively stationary place the focused particular person turns into prone to the directed power. The CIA NSA handlers can then hetero dynamically lock on to your distinctive one in every of a sort mind wave sample frequency and manipulate your thoughts for the needs of thoughts management, and to inflict ache and trauma on the focused people physique that pothers who within the neighborhood of the stream of directed power don’t really feel or discover. The thoughts of the mind entrained focused particular person picks up the frequency of directed power however the others across the focused particular person don’t decide it up as a result of that frequency of directed power is particularly tuned to the distinctive mind wave a sample of the focused particular person. EXCLUSIVE-We love the apocalypse so long as no one acknowledges the reality: It’s not a legendary occasion. We reside on prime of 1. As such, solely the focused particular person with that ‘Specific Residence Frequency’ of mind waves absorbs the power or feels it results comparable to extreme ache to the mind and central nervous system. As a result of the mind controls the central nervous system, solely that individual’s central nervous system, with that particular mind wave sample frequency, may have their central nervous system manipulated. The others round you’ll not really feel or discover the consequences as a result of their mind wave patterns don’t function alongside the identical frequency. That is how the CIA NSA operatives are capable of goal the Monarch Sufferer in a crowd of individuals, as that crowd of individuals don’t take in the power or really feel its results. Solely the sufferer absorbs the power or feels it results. As soon as they’ve that particular frequency they will goal you from nice distances with thoughts management know-how. Nevertheless, as a result of ‘VERIFICATION’ is important they must be near you or to have hidden cameras up or boots on the bottom to watch you and ensure the know-how is working. With out VERIFICATION thee is not any approach the NSA CIA handlers can decide the thoughts management know-how is working or not, which means they cant inform if they should range the routine or not, reminiscent of altering the depth or frequency of the electromagnetic power. They need to both have cameras, lots of that are hidden, or boots on the bottom to tell them you probably did this or stated that after the, say, IMPULSE INJECTION was triggered. So, then, they constantly set off the ideas and wishes in your thoughts utilizing electromagnetic streams of power that it is advisable go to the fridge and drink some chocolate milk, and you retain having the impulse and want to do that, but when they can’t see you truly do it. which means go to the fridge and drink the chocolate milk, then there isn’t any strategy to affirm the know-how is working correctly. For instance, you may need the robust want to drink the chocolate milk however as an alternative select orange juice, which means the thoughts management know-how failed on that event and they should make changes. In order that they continuously hold you surrounded by perp’s always to make sure the know-how is working and that you simply don’t defeat their distant neural monitoring system. CIA NSA handlers obtain this by partaking in a SMEAR CAMPAIGN OF CHARACTER ASSASSINATION AND SLANDER BASED ON LIES AND HALF TRUTHS to show individuals towards you in order that they assume they’re watching you for different causes when in fancy they’re simply puppets of the CIA NSA operatives who’ve fooled them into doing the work for them. For the CIA and NSA handlers to not use VERIFICATION methods would nonetheless not prohibit them from concentrating on you with the know-how, however it might be the equal of concentrating on a moon 5 galaxies away with a particle beam weapon, which means they might hearth away however would do not know whether or not they hit their goal or not as a result of they might haven’t any option to affirm it. Keep in mind, they’re utilizing Scalar Waves as properly, that are multi-directional, out of part, velocity of sunshine, longitudinal, electromagnetic waves of power. As soon as fired, scalar waves journey and exist on each side of the world north-south-east-west on the similar time as a result of they’re being fired constantly every second by land based mostly fastened phased arrays of towers, and sometimes by satellite tv for pc as nicely. These towers are just like the HAARP tower in Alaska, however truly the US Authorities has two extra that we all know of, one in every of which is situated at Los Alomos laboratories and the opposite of which is situated close to the coast of Maine, within the American northeast. The one close to Maine is far smaller than the others and is disguised to seem like a constructing. They’re all three used for these functions, and hearth scalar waves constantly every second, in order that scalar waves exist constantly on each side of the world every second of day-after-day, 24 hours a day, seven days every week. Non cease. The CIA and NSA handlers merely harvest and redirect that scalar wave energy that already exists within the environment and redirect it on the focused particular person utilizing the targets particular residence mind wave frequency because the concentrating on gadget and sequence. In different phrases, you would actually be standing in Antarctica, and the CIA might goal you with this know-how from land based mostly fastened phased array towers that exist in Alaska. Once more, Scalar Waves are velocity of sunshine out of part LONGITUDINAL waves of electromagnetic power and exist each locations at similar time, to allow them to use a terrestrial grid -fired from a land base fastened phased array – or an extra-terrestrial – fired from satellite tv for pc – to focus on you regardless of the place you’re on the planet. Solely these focused people who’ve that ‘specific residence frequency’ will take up the power or really feel its results. Others, it can move proper by way of them and they won’t comprehend it. That is how they’re able to goal you in crowded areas. CIA NSA handlers additionally interact in disruption techniques to destroy the credibility of the focused particular person. They’ve a day by day PROTOCOL and day by day CONTINGENCY PLAN in place to every day destroy the credibility of the focused particular person on a DAILY BASIS. If the focused particular person does THIS then CIA and NSA handlers will do THAT and if focused particular person does THAT then CIA and NSA handlers will do THIS. They’ve a day by day PROTOCOL in place and wage a steady DAILY marketing campaign to destroy the credibility of the focused particular person each single DAY!. For instance I checked over an hour later to see if an earlier publish made on the HOTEL CASA CONSULADO on June 24 2015 1700 hrs was truly posted to fb which means to see in the event that they was any disruption or not regardless that I do know for a reality I posted it which and it was not posted to fb that are techniques designed to drive the focused particular person to complain as a result of if he doesn’t complain and doc the grievance the techniques will by no means cease, which means the focused particular person is caught in a CATCH 22! If he does complain and doc the grievance the CIA and NSA handlers will make his complaints seem frivolous and if he doesn’t complain and doc the grievance thetactics won’t ever cease. CATCH 22! In the meantime, the web exercise is constantly manipulated in a means in order that if individuals return and take a look at he web exercise that was disrupted it seems that nothing dangerous occurred. THEY HAVE DONE THIS REPEATEDLY TO ME. AS SOON AS I GO TO SLEEP THEY START TARGETING MY BRAIN WITH STREAMS OF DIRECTED ENERGY KNOWN AS BETA PROGRAMMING THROUGH MICROWAVES SCALAR WAVES TO SLOWLY DESTROY MY BRAIN SO THAT I APPEAR MENTALLY ILL RATHER THAN MENTALLY INJURED WHILE AT THE SAME TIME TURNING ME INTO THEIR MONARCH MIND CONTROL SLAVE JUNE 25 2013 hrs Hamacas Hostal Granada Nicaragua. For instance, I’m now pressured and compelled to repeat my phrases and ideas constantly, which I don’t want to do however haven’t any selection as a result of they’ve programmed my mind to do it on a continuing foundation every single day. By programming the thoughts of the focused particular person to assume in phrases slightly than photographs the CIA NSA handlers are capable of perceive and skim by way of distant neural monitoring the focused particular person ideas extra clearly. SEVERE PAIN TO HEART AND CHEST RIGHT NOW AS I TYPE THIS ARTICLE AND POST IT ON FACEBOOK. THE CIA NSA HANDLERS INFLICT PAIN AND TRAUMA ON THE TARGETED INDIVIDUALS BODY UNDER SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES SO THE TARGETED INDIVIDUAL WILL MAKE MISTAKES AND AS PUNISHMENT FOR BEING A DISOBEDIENT MONARCH VICTIM. TARGETED INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE TARGETED WITH THIS TECHNOLOGY MUST FIGHT IT AT ALL COSTS BECAUSE IF THEY SUBMIT THEY WILL LOSE THEIR ETERNAL SOUL. THIS IS WHY THE CIA NSA DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE SCIENTIST, TURNED WHISTLE BLOWER, WHO HELPED INVENT AND DEVELOP THE TECHNOLOGY, CALLED IT, IN HIS BOOK, ‘PROJECT SOUL CATCHER’!

Historic Snowstorm Blankets Chicago Area; Thousands Without Power, Hundreds Of Flights Canceled

November 26, 2018 at 10:32 am

Filed Under: Chicago, Local TV, National Weather Service, Snow, Snowstorm, Weather

CHICAGO (CBS) — One of the worst November snowstorms in Chicago history hammered the city and suburbs Sunday night and early Monday, dumping more than 7 inches in the city, and up to a foot in some northwest suburbs. With winds that gusted up to 50 mph at times, the storm knocked down trees and power lines across the Chicago area, leaving hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses without power. The storm also forced airlines to cancel hundreds of flights on the busiest travel day of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. According to the National Weather Service, 7.4 inches of snow fell at O’Hare International Airport during the storm, the fifth highest total ever recorded in a November snowstorm in Chicago. Areas closer to the lake got far less snow. In the Loop, snow wasn’t sticking to the ground until around 6:15 a.m., leaving only an inch or two on untreated sidewalks by the time the snow ended a couple hours later. The northwest suburbs were hardest hit by the storm, with totals of up to a foot or more in McHenry County. According to ComEd, approximately 339,000 customers lost power during the storm. As of 8:30 a.m., crews had restored power to about 152,000 customers, with 177,000 still without service. The snow and wind also snarled air traffic at Chicago’s airports on Sunday, which had been expected to be the busiest travel day of the long holiday weekend. More than 800 flights were canceled at O’Hare and Midway airports on Sunday. City officials were expecting about 260,000 travelers at O’Hare on Sunday, and another 90,000 on Midway. With so many canceled flights, long lines started forming early at airline counters at both airports, as hundreds more flights were canceled. As of 9:40 a.m. Monday, at least 791 more flights had been canceled as of 9:40 a.m., with delays averaging 58 minutes. At Midway International Airport, at least more 69 flights had been canceled, with delays averaging less than 15 minutes. No major accidents were reported as a result of the storm, though many vehicles were spotted spun out in ditches. The Bishop Ford Freeway also was shut down for about an hour overnight, after a power line fell down across the roadway.

Russia And Ukraine Are On The Brink Of War – And Why That Could Lead To World War 3

Michael Snyder November 26th, 2018

A respected foreign journalist living in Ukraine is warning that a war that most Americans cannot even imagine “teeters on the razor thin edge of becoming real”. When Russia opened fire on Ukrainian Navy vessels and captured three of their ships, it made headlines all over the globe. An emergency meeting of the UN Security Council was hastily arranged for Monday at 11 AM, and hopefully there will be a positive outcome from that meeting. Because right now Moscow and Kiev are on the brink of war, and once a Russian invasion happens there will be no turning back. At that point the U.S. would have a major decision to make, and if we chose to defend Ukraine that could mean that we would suddenly find ourselves fighting World War 3. Most people don’t realize that this crisis has been simmering for over a week. The following is from a U.S. News & World Report article that was posted on November 19th… A dispute over shipping lanes is threatening to reignite the 4-year-old simmering war between Ukraine and Russia following confrontations sparked by both sides in recent days. Russian border guards on Monday detained Ukrainian fishing vessels in the Sea of Azov, a strategically important body of water contained to the north by Ukraine, to the west by the Crimean Peninsula and to the east and south by Russia. Monday’s incident came days after Russian President Vladimir Putin slammed Kiev for detaining Russian commercial ships also in the Azov in what he described as “a totally illegal move” and which Kremlin officials have warned may prompt retaliation. When you realize what has already taken place, it puts the most recent events in an entirely different context. The Russians blocked the Kerch Strait in retaliation for having had their own commercial vessels detained by the Ukrainian government. And when the Ukrainians decided to test the Russians by sailing Ukrainian Navy vessels into the Kerch Strait, the Russians decided not to back down. The following comes from Sky News… Russia has opened fire on Ukrainian ships and captured three vessels in a major escalation of tensions off the coast of Crimea. Three sailors have been wounded after the Ukrainian navy said two artillery boats were hit by the strikes in the Black Sea. Ukraine’s President Petro Poroshenko called an emergency session of his war cabinet and said he will propose that parliament declare martial law. So the truth is that neither side is exactly “innocent” in this situation. The Kerch Strait is absolutely critical, because it is the only way into and out of the Azov Sea… The strait connects the Azov Sea with the Black Sea and runs between the Crimean Peninsula and Russia. It’s a shallow, narrow stretch of water just two to three miles (3.2 to 4.8 kilometers) wide at one point near the Chuska landspit. The strait is an important economic lifeline for Ukraine, as it allows ships leaving the port city of Mariupol to access the Black Sea. It’s also the the closest point of access for Russia to Crimea, a peninsula Moscow annexed in 2014. The international community has largely not recognized Russia’s annexation of Crimea, but that did not stop Russia from building a bridge over the Kerch Strait connecting Crimea to mainland Russia. The Kerch Strait bridge was opened in May. In adition to asking for a declaration of martial law, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has also been gathering with his top military leaders. Poroshenko is pledging that Ukraine will not take any “offensive” military actions, but he also says that they are ready to defend against any attacks from Russia. The Russians are accusing Poroshenko of manipulating this crisis in order to pump up his flagging approval ratings for the upcoming presidential elections. There is a very real possibility that Poroshenko could lose, and he is desperate to stay in office. Of course the Ukrainians are blaming Russia for everything, and Poroshenko says that what happened on Sunday “was an act of war”… Finally, Ukraine has called for an urgent UN Security Council meeting over ‘Russian aggression’ while Ukraine’s secretary for national security, Oleksander Turchynov, accused Russia of engaging in an act of war: “We heard reports on incident and have concluded that it was an act of war by Russian Federation against Ukraine”. At this point, it is unclear what the Russians will do next. Hopefully they will see that a full-blown invasion of Ukraine would not be wise. But if they decide that such a war is inevitable, they will move with lightning speed as we have seen in other conflicts. For example, Russia had already annexed Crimea before the rest of the world even started talking about it. And we all remember what happened in Georgia. If and when Russia finally pulls the trigger, their forces will be halfway to Kiev before the mainstream media in the western world even realizes what is happening. And if Russia does invade, the Trump administration will be under tremendous pressure from Republicans, Democrats and other NATO members to intervene. Already, there has been some very tough talk from Secretary of State Mike Pompeo… It’s yet unclear how far the U.S. is willing to go in support for Ukraine. In a joint statement after Klimkin’s meeting with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo last week, both sides “condemned Russia’s aggressive actions against international shipping transiting the Black Sea, the Sea of Azov and the Kerch Strait to Ukrainian ports” and agreed that “Russia’s aggressive activities in the Sea of Azov have brought new security, economic, social, and environmental threats to the entire Azov-Black Sea region.” But if we directly intervene in a military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, that could very easily trigger World War 3. Most Americans are not concerned that a conflict between Russia and Ukraine could potentially affect the United States, but the threat is very real. In fact, according to foreign correspondent Nolan Peterson such a war “teeters on the razor thin edge of becoming real”… This is the most dangerous moment I’ve seen in Ukraine in years. Tonight, a war that many people in America can only imagine thanks to Hollywood movies, teeters on the razor thin edge of becoming real. Tonight in Ukraine we go to sleep not knowing what tomorrow will bring. Let us hope for peace, because right now the world is becoming a more chaotic place with each passing day…

INTERNATIONAL SAFETY

Out of control situation in Ukraine: Fire Russian Consulate in Kharkiv (photo, video)

The Russian consulate in Kharkiv, the second largest city in Ukraine, is being eroded, when a group of Nazis attacked the building with flares reminiscent of scenes from the Odessa crime in 2014 when 48 people were burned and others are still missing 45. Then again a group of Ukrainian Nazis burned the Trade Union Building in Odessa. They were members of the notorious "Right Sector" The incendiary attack is part of the ever-growing tension between Russia and Ukraine, following the "hot" episode on Sunday in Kerch's Strait. According to Russia Today, "anti-Russian" protesters, some of them wearing hoods and helmets, threw flares to the building and burned tires. The attack, however, recalls "Right Field" practices that appear when "circumstances require". Most of its members fought in the ranks of the National Guard and accused of war crimes. Since the attack, there has been limited damage to the infrastructure of the Consulate. A similar mobilization was also seen in front of the Russian Embassy in Kiev. And in this demonstration, the bulk of the participants were members of various Ukrainian nationalist organizations. Protesters pounded the building with dozens of smoke, but their attempt to fire car tires and then roll them to the building was blocked by the police.

The World Has Gone Mad: Sex Doll Spa Day For 2K, Marrying Holograms And Inanimate Objects - Are Modern Day Feminists Destroying The World?

By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine November 26, 2018

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, by 2035 adults 65 and older will outnumber children for the first time in the history of the nation, which is very believable in conjunction with previous reports showing that birth rates in the U.S. have continued to decrease steadily since 2008, dipping to a 30 year low. While there is arguably a number of factors contributing to the decline in birth rates and fertility, such as the chemical castration of men via xenoestrogens in everything from suntan lotions to industrial products and plastics, insecticides, and in the foods we eat, have been implicated in precocious puberty and other disorders of the reproductive system. The results of this chemical castration can be seen in a study that was reported on in September, showing "sperm counts in the U.S., Europe, Australia, and New Zealand have fallen by more than 50 percent over the past four decades." The chemicals are only part of the reason for the dangerously low birth rates and infertility rates, in my opinion, as we also note the increasing attacks against men, specifically the white Christian male, and masculinity, by academia, the MSM, and the LGBT community. "Male toxicity" has become the buzz-term of choice, in the attempts to continue on with the feminization of men. Men's make-up lines, clothing lines including dresses for men, skirts and high heels, the hard push by feminists and the LGBT community to transform men into women (transgenders), along with the attempts to shame men for nothing more than being born with a penis. So the feminization of males is no doubt a contributing factor to the decrease in birth rates, infertility and lower male sperm counts, but in my mind there is another huge factor to consider. MODERN DAY FEMINISTS ARE DESTROYING THE WORLD Modern day feminists are a huge factor as well, as they have declared war on men, and are also part of the push to feminize men by treating them as if they are toxic, but a larger part they are playing is by turning men "off," of women. They belittle men at every opportunity, taking them to task for "man spreading," (sitting with their legs slightly parted), or accusing them of "man-splaining," if a man dares disagree with a modern day feminist. Modern day feminists are annoying, but any man that dares call them out on it, is accused of being "sexist," or a "misogynist," so as a woman, let me say, they annoy normal women as well. Constantly offended at every word a man utters, such as telling her she is "pretty," which brings on rants and behavior that as a woman, even makes me cringe. Rather than detail my the countless examples of what offends a feminist, which could take pages to document, I found a list, written by a feminist, of questions she thinks should be asked on a first date. While this was written by a self-described "queer femme of color," she does make it clear that in her opinion, "The following list of questions is applicable for all relationships — certainly not just cisgender, heterosexual ones." I use this specific list because when searching for the title "10 Things Every Intersectional Feminist Should Ask On a First Date," multiple other feminists website had republished the piece, so it gives us a great view into what feminism, which is defined as "the advocacy of women's rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes," has become today, and why many women want nothing to do with the term, and why men are so turned "off" by feminists. 1: Do you believe black lives matter? 2. What are your thoughts on gender and sexual orientation? 3. What are your thoughts on sex work? 4. Are you a supporter of the BDS movement? 5. What is your understanding of settler colonialism and indigenous rights? 6. What is your understanding of settler colonialism and indigenous rights? 7. Do you think capitalism is exploitative? 8. Can any human be illegal? 9. Do you support Muslim Americans and non-Muslim people from Islamic countries? 10. Does your allyship include disabled folks? Not one of those questions focus on "the advocacy of women's rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes." Now, gentlemen readers, would you stick around, on a first date, if a woman started questioning you like you were on some type of interview? Or would you end the date as fast as possible and burn her phone number? Related: Women can’t be told anything anymore for fear of offence

MEN SO TURNED OFF BY FEMINISTS, THEY PREFER ROBOTS AND SEX DOLLS

Which brings me to the type of insane news we see today, almost on a daily basis. In conjunction with modern day radical feminism becoming so radical, where anything a man might say, or do, or the tone of how he says it, "offends" a feminist in some way or another, we are seeing increased news of men preferring sex dolls or sex robots. It was reported in 2017, that the silicone doll industry is currently a multi-million dollar industry as more and more men are turning to "fake" females, whether it is a sex doll or a sex robot, for a variety of reasons. A search using any search engine for "men prefer sex robots," or why "men prefer sex dolls," brings up more search pages and results than I care to count, but one can see the increase, and its direct relation to the rise of the radical feminist. Even narrowing down the search term to either "sex robots" and "sex dolls," to just articles, and links from the past month, brings up page after page of results.

Union Leader: 'GM Won't Close Plants Without One Hell Of A Fight'

by Tyler Durden Mon, 11/26/2018 - 19:04

Update 6: While we wait to learn what was discussed during Mary Barra's Monday afternoon meeting with Larry Kudlow, here's a chart to put today's job cuts in context: GM's job cuts are the seventh largest since 2001. GM also claimed the sixth-place spot with layoffs of some 20,000 workers in Detroit during the depths of the crisis. Marry Barra is meeting with Trump Chief Economic Advisor Larry Kudlow on Monday after announcing that the company would lay off as many as 14,700 workers in key swing states that helped elect Trump in 2016. Barra warned the administration over the summer that auto tariffs would lead to "a smaller GM." Now that's happening (though the administration is still mulling a decision on auto tariffs, though it has moved ahead with its protectionist agenda). Meanwhile, Jerry Dias, the head of Canadian autoworkers union Unifor, said that GM won't be closing its Oshawa plant without "a hell of a fight." He also requested a meeting with Barra, and is planning to meet with Prime Minister Trudeau. While we don't know what Kudlow is planning to say to Barra, we suspect that he might remind her about a certain tax-cut package that has saved GM and thousands of other US corporations hundreds of billions of dollars already - not to mention the fact that GM is still a profitable company, despite its lagging share price. Update 4: The massive job cuts that GM is undertaking as it closes five plants in North America have infuriated politicians in Ontario and the US who will be stuck grappling with the consequences of how to help thousands of soon-to-be unemployed blue-collar (and white collar) workers. As they have vowed to fight the cuts, autoworkers unions in both countries have raised questions about whether firing thousands of workers violates the terms of the 2009 Treasury funded bailout that saved the "Big Three" US carmakers from bankruptcy. Now, one former Obama official has weighed in: Steve Rattner, who led Obama's auto task force, which helped organize and oversee the bailouts, said he doesn't believe they do. It was always the Obama Administration's intention that GM and its peers run their businesses responsibly, including implementing meaningful cost-cutting measures to adjust for changes in their business environment. I don’t think these violate the 2009 agreement, in part because we always made clear that GM should be free to run its business in the ordinary course," Steve Rattner, former chief of President Obama’s auto task force, says in an email. "The passage of more than nine years is an important factor - there has been much change in the auto world over that period and it’s important for GM to be free to adjust its business accordingly," he added. As a reminder, the federal government took over GM and Chrysler in March 2009, fired GM CEO Rick Wagoner and forced Chrysler to merge with Fiat before distributing nearly $100 billion in subsidies that eventually left US taxpayers with a $10.2 billion loss. The bailout ended on December 18, 2014, when the Treasury Department sold its last remaining shares of Ally Financial, formerly known as General Motors Acceptance Corporation, which it had bought for $17.2 billion during the depths of the crisis to infuse cash into the failing GM subsidiary. The Treasury Department sold the shares for $19.6 billion, earning a tidy $2.4 billion profit that wasn't nearly enough to offset the losses on GM and Chrysler. Circling back to the present day, GM workers at the plants slated for closure walked off the job on Monday after the company formally announced the cutbacks. It used to be that "what's good for the country is good for General Motors, and vice versa." As any of these workers would tell you, that's clearly no longer the case. Update 3: In case you were wondering why GM would be doing this amid 'the greatest recovery' of all time and global synchronized growth; this chart should help!! Update 2: The cutbacks announced by GM Monday morning were more severe than most analysts expected - and were certainly steeper than leaked reports published late Sunday and early Monday had suggested. After GM shares were halted pending news following a 2%+ jump after the open, Barra revealed that the company would shutter 7 plants (5 in North America and 2 international) after 2019, fire 15% of its salaried workforce and shift hiring priorities to more tech workers in a cost-cutting drive intended to save the company some $6 billion by the end of 2020 ($4.5 billion will come from cost savings, $1.5 billion from lower capital spending). As GM seeks more workers with "different skills", it also plans to shift its investment focus toward electric and autonomous vehicles. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has expressed "deep disappointment" at GM's decision to close its plant in Oshawa, Ontario. He reportedly spoke with Barra over the weekend. The company's shares ripped higher after the trading halt ended, climbing 7.6% in their strongest one-day jump since Oct. 31, when the company announced some of its cost cutting plans and said it expected EPS for 2018 toward the high end of its guidance. Here's a quick rundown of the closures:

1. Oshawa Assembly in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada.

2. Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly in Detroit.

3. Lordstown Assembly in Warren, Ohio.

4. Baltimore Operations in White Marsh, Maryland.

5. Warren Transmission Operations in Warren, Michigan.

6/7. In addition to the previously announced closure of the assembly plant in Gunsan, Korea, GM will cease the operations of two additional plants outside North America by the end of 2019.

Barra said the cutbacks are a response to sagging car sales in domestic and international markets (sedan sales have floundered while pickup truck sales remain robust) and the impact of Trump's trade war. The steel tariffs alone have already cost GM some $1 billion this year, the company said. "We are taking this action now while the company and the economy are strong to keep ahead of changing market conditions," Barra said during a conference call with reporters. The firm will cut 15% of its salaried workforce, including a 25% reduction in the number of executives to streamline decision making. All told, the company is expected to cut nearly 15,000 salaried and hourly jobs. The company last month offered buyouts to 18,000 last month to try and reduce headcount. The UAW, the union that represents most of GM's hourly labor force in the US, says it will do everything it can to resist GM's plans. Canada's innovation minister Navdeep Bains also decried GM's plans.

*UAW SAYS GM PRODUCTION DECISION "WILL NOT GO UNCHALLENGED"

The company's white collar workers number roughly 54,000 in North America, according to WSJ, which speculated that most of the job cuts would come from GM's bloated product-development division. GM outlined the cutbacks in an investor deck: Read the company's full press release: General Motors will accelerate its transformation for the future, building on the comprehensive strategy it laid out in 2015 to strengthen its core business, capitalize on the future of personal mobility and drive significant cost efficiencies. Today, GM is continuing to take proactive steps to improve overall business performance including the reorganization of its global product development staffs, the realignment of its manufacturing capacity and a reduction of salaried workforce. These actions are expected to increase annual adjusted automotive free cash flow by $6 billion by year-end 2020 on a run-rate basis. "The actions we are taking today continue our transformation to be highly agile, resilient and profitable, while giving us the flexibility to invest in the future," said GM Chairman and CEO Mary Barra. "We recognize the need to stay in front of changing market conditions and customer preferences to position our company for long-term success." Contributing to the cash savings of approximately $6 billion are cost reductions of $4.5 billion and a lower capital expenditure annual run rate of almost $1.5 billion. The actions include: Transforming product development – GM is evolving its global product development workforce and processes to drive world-class levels of engineering in advanced technologies, and to improve quality and speed to market. Resources allocated to electric and autonomous vehicle programs will double in the next two years. Additional actions include: Increasing high-quality component sharing across the portfolio, especially those not visible and perceptible to customers. Expanding the use of virtual tools to lower development time and costs. Integrating its vehicle and propulsion engineering teams. Compressing its global product development campuses. Optimizing product portfolio – GM has recently invested in newer, highly efficient vehicle architectures, especially in trucks, crossovers and SUVs. GM now intends to prioritize future vehicle investments in its next-generation battery-electric architectures. As the current vehicle portfolio is optimized, it is expected that more than 75 percent of GM's global sales volume will come from five vehicle architectures by early next decade. Increasing capacity utilization – In the past four years, GM has refocused capital and resources to support the growth of its crossovers, SUVs and trucks, adding shifts and investing $6.6 billion in U.S. plants that have created or maintained 17,600 jobs. With changing customer preferences in the U.S. and in response to market-related volume declines in cars, future products will be allocated to fewer plants next year. Assembly plants that will be unallocated in 2019 include:

Oshawa Assembly in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada.

Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly in Detroit.

Lordstown Assembly in Warren, Ohio. Propulsion plants that will be unallocated in 2019 include:

Baltimore Operations in White Marsh, Maryland.

Warren Transmission Operations in Warren, Michigan.

In addition to the previously announced closure of the assembly plant in Gunsan, Korea, GM will cease the operations of two additional plants outside North America by the end of 2019. These manufacturing actions are expected to significantly increase capacity utilization. To further enhance business performance, GM will continue working to improve other manufacturing costs, productivity and the competitiveness of wages and benefits. Staffing transformation – The company is transforming its global workforce to ensure it has the right skill sets for today and the future, while driving efficiencies through the utilization of best-in-class tools. Actions are being taken to reduce salaried and salaried contract staff by 15 percent, which includes 25 percent fewer executives to streamline decision making. Barra added, "These actions will increase the long-term profit and cash generation potential of the company and improve resilience through the cycle." GM expects to fund the restructuring costs through a new credit facility that will further improve the company's strong liquidity position and enhance its financial flexibility. GM expects to record pre-tax charges of $3.0 billion to $3.8 billion related to these actions, including up to $1.8 billion of non-cash accelerated asset write-downs and pension charges, and up to $2.0 billion of employee-related and other cash-based expenses. The majority of these charges will be considered special for EBIT-adjusted, EPS diluted-adjusted and adjusted automotive free cash flow purposes. The majority of these charges will be incurred in the fourth quarter of 2018 and first quarter of 2019, with some additional costs incurred through the remainder of 2019. Update 1: Former Nissan Chairman Carlos Ghosn is locked up in a Tokyo jail cell, but GM CEO Mary Barra is apparently channeling the spirit of the auto executive nicknamed "Le Cost Killer". GM shares climbed 0.6% at the open after the company announced production cutbacks that were larger than initially reported. In addition to shuttering the Oshawa plant, the company is also planning to halt production at its Warren Transmission plant in Michigan, as well as another plant in Ohio (in addition to the closure in Oshawa). The company also plans to stop selling some of the company's least popular models. Lagging sales had already forced GM to cut production to one shift at its Hamtramck Assembly plant in Detroit and its Lordstown, Ohio, assembly plant. According to Reuters, the company is weighing whether to end production of the Chevrolet Volt hybrid, Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac CT6, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Impala and Chevrolet Sonic after 2020, amid a broader shift toward fully electric and autonomous vehicles. General Motors Co will significantly cut car production in North America and stop building some low-selling car models, and was expected to announce significant planned reductions to its North American salaried, executive workforce, sources said on Monday. GM plans to halt production at three assembly plants in Canada and in Ohio and Michigan in the United States by not allocating future new products, putting the future of those plants in doubt, the sources added. The plants - Lordstown Assembly in Ohio, Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly and Oshawa Assembly - all build slow-selling cars. The issue will be addressed in talks with the United Auto Workers union next year. GM Chief Executive Mary Barra made calls early on Monday to disclose the plans, the sources said. The company is expected to officially announce its latest round of 'cost cutting' measures on Monday. With car sales in the US and China locked in a precipitous slowdown that is only expected to worsen, GM on Monday announced the closure of one of its oldest Canadian plants as the company hopes to move more production to Mexico and (hopefully) bolster its lagging shares, Reuters reported. The company's plant in Oshawa, Ontario - the plant in question - produces slow-selling Chevrolet Impala and Cadillac XTS sedans, while also completing final assembly of the better-selling Chevy Silverado and Sierra pickup trucks, which are shipped from Indiana. The outcry from the union and local officials is already causing political pressure on GM to mount after the carmaker accepted billions of dollars in subsidies from the Canadian and US governments after filing for bankruptcy nearly a decade ago. But the company must weigh these considerations against the demands of Wall Street analysts, who believe that GM has too many plants in North America. Signaling the start of the carmaker's latest cost-cutting initiative, the company said on Oct. 31 that about 18,000 of its 50,000 salaried employees in North America would soon be eligible for buyouts. Two sources told Bloomberg that the announcement of the plant's closure is expected on Monday. The closure is not unexpected. In a message to employees last month, GM CEO Mary Barra cited the stagnant share price as a reason for tougher restructuring measures. Unifor, the Canadian autoworkers union that represents the plant's employees, told Bloomberg that it has been told there is no car production planned at the factory beyond next year, raising the prospect of talks to preserve jobs. Unifor National President Jerry Dias said back in April that the Oshawa complex had been slated for closure in June of this year. But he added that one top GM Canada executive had vowed that it wouldn't close on his watch. "We have been informed that, as of now, there is no product allocated to the Oshawa assembly plant past December 2019," Unifor said in a written statement Sunday night. "Unifor does not accept this announcement and is immediately calling on GM to live up to the spirit" of a contract agreement reached in 2016, the union said. The survival of the factory was a key issue in the automaker’s 2016 labor talks with Unifor, the union that represents tens of thousands of autoworkers in Canada. As part of that settlement, GM had agreed to spend some C$400 million ($302 million) in the Oshawa operations, Bloomberg News reported at the time. The union hailed the agreement as part of an effort to stem the loss of jobs to Mexico. During its latest earnings call, GM CEO Mary Barra said at the New York Times DealBook conference earlier this month that the company had negative cash flow for the first nine months of the year and it needed to cut costs, according to the Detroit News. Canadian lawmakers said they're fighting to keep the plant open because thousands of jobs are on the line. "We are aware of the reports and we will be working in the coming days to determine how we can continue supporting our auto sector and workers," a Canadian government official said. "The jobs of many families are on the line," said Colin Carrie, a Member of Parliament for Oshawa. "Communities all over Ontario would be devastated if this plant were to close." Oshawa Mayor John Henry told CBC that he hopes the planned closure is "just a rumor", and that he had not spoken to anyone from GM. According to the carmaker's website, the Assembly plant in Oshawa employs roughly 2,800 workers - down from ten times that number in the early 1980s. Production at the plant began in November 1953. "It's going to affect the province, it's going to affect the region...the auto industry's been a big part of the province of Ontario for over 100 years," Henry said. As the CBC pointed out, the Oshawa plant was a talking point during the negotiations for Trump's USMCA (Nafta 2.0) deal. "Every time we have a problem...I hold up a photo of the Chevy Impala," Trump once said about the negotiations. In a tweet, one conservative Canadian lawmaker lamented the news of the closure. And while this closure would certainly be bad news for Canada, the situation could always get worse - particularly if Congress refuses to pass Trump's USMCA trade deal, raising the possibility that the US, Canada and Mexico would revert to WTO rules, potentially throwing GM's foreign North American operations into chaos.

House Democrats Vow To Undermine US Defense Against Russia

Ploughshares and the people behind it got the House. And that means the House now advocates for America's enemies while dismantling our national defense infrastructure. Also known as the Carter/Clinton/Obama policy.

Daniel Greenfield — November 27, 2018

I predicted that the 2020 Dem will run on an Obamaesque platform of restoring relations with Russia.

After 2 years of screeching accusations of treason, cartoons of Trump as a Russian puppet, House Dems vows to undermine our national defense against Russia.  Democrats preparing to take over the House are aiming to roll back what they see as President Donald Trump's overly aggressive nuclear strategy. Their goals include eliminating money for Trump’s planned expansion of the U.S. atomic arsenal, including a new long-range ballistic missile and development of a smaller, battlefield nuclear bomb that critics say is more likely to be used in combat than a traditional nuke.  They also want to stymie the administration's efforts to unravel arms control pacts with Russia.  Of course they will.  The Democrats were never opposed to Russia. They were and are against America.  The transparently fake news accusations of treason and collusion with Russia were a vehicle for undermining America. And once in power the Dems will once again collude with Russia to undermine America. Meanwhile they're all rushing to unreel their spiel in front of the Iran Lobby.  Leading the charge is Rep. Adam Smith of Washington state, who is set to become the first progressive in decades to run the House Armed Services Committee, which is responsible for setting defense policy through the annual National Defense Authorization Act.  "The rationale for the triad I don't think exists anymore. The rationale for the numbers of nuclear weapons doesn't exist anymore," Smith told the Ploughshares Fund, a disarmament group, at a recent gathering of the Democratic Party's nuclear policy establishment.  Except for Iran, whose nukes Ploughshares backed.  "I have never seen a chairman give nuclear policy such a high priority, have such personal expertise in the area, and be so committed to dramatic change," said Joe Cirincione, president of Ploughshares Fund.  Cirincione served as a staffer to then-Rep. Les Aspin (D-Wis.), who chaired the panel during the fierce debates over nuclear weapons policies in the 1980s, which he sees as an instructive period for today. Iran Firsters do good work undermining America.  “There’s no such thing as a low-yield nuclear war," said Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.), one of the co-sponsors, who also gave his pitch at the Ploughshares Fund gathering this month. "Use of any nuclear weapon, regardless of its killing power, could be catastrophically destabilizing."  Ploughshares and the people behind it got the House. And that means the House now advocates for America's enemies while dismantling our national defense infrastructure. Also known as the Carter/Clinton/Obama policy.

City of Lights out: Paris hit by huge mystery power cut

The Local

news.france@thelocal.com

@thelocalfrance

26 November 2018

17:04 CET+01:00

Many Parisians were left in the dark on Monday afternoon after reports of a massive power cut that hit much of the French capital.

The power cut hit parts of the French capital at around 4.30 pm on Monday afternoon.

At last four arrondissements were plunged into darkness: the 2nd, 10th, 11th and the 19th.

As the electricity went off in Gare du Nord and Gare de L'Est stations in the north of the city, as well as one of the capital's most famous streets Rue de Rivoli in the centre, as well as across several arrondissements, unsurprisingly it didn't take people long to react on social media. And while power was restored around The Local's offices in the 19th arrondissement after just a few minutes, it is unclear whether it has been restored across the entire city.

Electricity provider Enedis said an incident caused a power cut across several arrondissements but their teams were able to restore power after several minutes.

Ukraine will be placed under martial law tomorrow after warning that Russia had ‘moved to a new stage of aggression’ and could even be planning an invasion. It followed a dramatic skirmish on Sunday in which Russian warships opened fire on Ukrainian gunboats before special forces seized the vessels and their 24 crew members. President Petro Poroshenko said martial law – the introduction of a military government – would be imposed for 30 days from tomorrow, a move approved by the Kiev parliament last night. He said the escalation was needed to keep his country safe, claiming to have intelligence reports indicating a build-up of troops by Moscow close to the border. Addressing the nation on television yesterday, Mr Poroshenko said: ‘Russia has been waging a hybrid war against our country for five years. But with an attack on Ukrainian military boats it moved to a new stage of aggression. Reconnaissance data suggest an extremely serious threat of a land-based operation against Ukraine.’ He said enemy forces were ‘ready at any moment for an invasion’ and described Russia as an ‘aggressive, volatile and unpredictable neighbour’. The Ukrainian vessels – two gunboats and a tug – were hit on Sunday evening near a newly-built Russian bridge over the Kerch Strait, Moscow’s only land link to Crimea, which it annexed from Ukraine in 2014. Passing under the bridge is the only way Ukrainian ships can sail into the Sea of Azov, which allows access to its ports of Mariupol and Berdyansk. Before the clash, Russia had blocked the route with a tanker. Ukraine yesterday released what it said were intercepted radio calls in which Russian navy HQ instructed their crews to attack. In the recording, which could not be verified, a voice can be heard yelling: ‘That was an order to kick them, to ram them, to destroy everything. It seems that the president is controlling all that s**t.’ Russia claimed the Ukrainian vessels were first to aim their guns at Russian ships, who had been forced to respond to the ‘provocation’ with force. Its FSB security services said the Ukrainians ignored warning shots after they illegally entered Russian territorial waters. There has been no news of the detained sailors. Ukrainian foreign minister Pavlo Klimkin said Kiev was in talks with the Red Cross to ensure the seamen are treated as prisoners of war. Critics of Mr Poroshenko suggested the president was using the crisis to delay elections he is set to lose. If a military government is installed, campaigning would be suspended. However, Mr Poroshenko insisted that elections would go ahead on March 31 next year. Theresa May joined other western leaders in urging restraint and condemning Russia’s ‘destabilising behaviour’. Her official spokesman said ships must be allowed passage to the Sea of Azov, adding: ‘Russia must not be allowed to use force to exert greater pressure on Ukraine.’ Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said Russia’s attack on the Ukrainian vessels was evidence of Moscow’s ‘contempt for international norms’. Britain currently has around 100 troops in Ukraine training local forces and is set to deploy more in January. HMS Echo, a survey ship, will also be sent to the region next year. Nato and the UN Security Council held emergency meetings to discuss the situation. With relations still raw after Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea from Ukraine and its backing for a pro-Moscow insurgency in eastern Ukraine, the crisis risked pushing the two countries into open conflict and there were early signs it was reigniting Western calls for more sanctions on Moscow. In a phone call with Poroshenko, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg offered the alliance's 'full support for Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty.' Ukraine is not a member of the U.S.-led military alliance though it aspires to membership. Washington's envoy to the United Nations warned Russia that its actions were an 'outrageous violation of sovereign Ukrainian territory', said sanctions on Russia would remain in place and any escalation by Moscow would only worsen ties. The European Union, Britain, France, Poland, Denmark, and Canada all condemned what they called Russian aggression. German Chancellor Angela Merkel has talked by telephone with Mr Poroshenko to express her concerns over the standoff with Russia around Crimea. Merkel's office said yesterday that the chancellor emphasized the need for de-escalation and dialogue and said she would work to help bring both about. The two leaders agreed to stay in close contact. The stand-off in the Azov Sea is more combustible now than at any time in the past four years as Ukraine has rebuilt its armed forces, previously in disarray, and has a new generation of commanders who are confident and have a point to prove. Russia's foreign ministry blamed Kiev for the crisis. It said: 'It's obvious that this painstakingly thought-through and planned provocation was aimed at igniting another source of tension in the region in order to create a pretext to ramp up sanctions against Russia,' it said in a statement. 'We'd like to warn the Ukrainian side that the policy of provoking a conflict with Russia in the area of the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea, which has been pursued by Kiev in coordination with the United States and the European Union, is fraught with serious consequences.' It comes after six seamen were wounded when Russian coast guards opened fire on and then seized three Ukrainian ships during an unprecedented stand-off in the Kerch Strait off Crimea on Sunday. The clash has raised fears of a wider military escalation and both NATO and the UN Security Council are holding emergency meetings to discuss the crisis yesterday . The two neighbours have been locked in a tense tug-of-war since Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea. Extraordinary footage emerged of the moment a Russian coast guard vessel rammed a Ukrainian navy tugboat under the orders 'squash him'. Crew on the Russian ship were told to 'hold on tight' as it ploughed in to the Ukrainian tug in the Kerch Strait, a narrow channel of water separating annexed Crimea from mainland Russia. The same Russian ship later opened fire on and seized three of Ukraine's vessels, injuring at least six crew members in what is a key shipping route in the region, Kiev officials said. The crisis began on Sunday after Russia stopped the three Ukrainian ships from entering the Sea of Azov - a shared territorial area that Moscow has aggressively tried to claim after seizing the peninsula in 2014. Russia's FSB security service said the ships had illegally entered its territorial waters and ignored warnings to stop. Sunday's confrontation is a dangerous development in a conflict pitting Ukraine against Russian-backed rebels the country's east. Thousands have died in fighting between Ukrainian troops and separatists since 2014. There were angry protests outside Kiev's Russian embassy where a car was torched overnight. The Kremlin, meanwhile, yesterday accused Ukraine of using 'dangerous methods' in Kerch Strait, where Moscow has constructed a multi-million pound bridge connecting the Russian mainland with the Crimean Peninsula. Tensions were heightened earlier on Sunday when a Russian coast guard vessel rammed a Ukrainian navy tugboat and blocked off the strait. In audio from a clip of the incident, a man can be heard shouting: 'Squash him, well done, squeeze him from the right, push from the right! 'Push, I'll get him here ****! Push him! Straight ahead! Yes to straight ahead. Go, go ****! Push him!! Straight ahead! (Midships!) Yes to straight ahead.' He then warns crew members to 'hold on tight'. Three of those hurt in the conflict have been named as Andrey Artyomenko, 24, Andrey Eyder, 18, and Vasily Soroka, 27. This morning, EU President Donald Tusk condemned Russian use of force in the clash while France added its voice to international calls for Russia to release the ships. 'Nothing appears to have justified the use of force by Russia,' the French foreign ministry said in a statement. 'We urge Russia to release the Ukrainian sailors and hand back the seized naval vessels as soon as possible.' Mr Poroshenko had a phone call with NATO secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg to discuss the situation, and Nato later said that, at Mr Poroshenko's request, its ambassadors and Ukraine's envoy will hold emergency talks in Brussels later. Nato said Mr Stoltenberg expressed the US-led military alliance's 'full support for Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty, including its full navigational rights in its territorial waters under international law'. Russia and Ukraine have traded blame over the incident, which further escalated tensions that have soared since Russia annexed Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula in 2014 and backed a separatist insurgency in eastern Ukraine. Ties between Russia and Ukraine have been turbulent since the fall of the Soviet Union, but deteriorated sharply after Kiev's 2014 pro-EU revolution. Amid a new peak in tensions over a naval standoff in the Sea of Azov, here is a recap of key moments in their relationship. Limited Soviet independence In December 1991 Ukraine votes in favour of independence from the Soviet Union in a referendum. Russian president Boris Yeltsin accepts the vote and Russia, Ukraine and Belarus set up a Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).  But over the next five years, Ukraine seeks ways to escape Russia's guardianship. Perceiving the CIS as an attempt to bring it back under Moscow's control, it turns towards the West and seeks ties with the US-led NATO military alliance - a no-go for Russia. Friendship treaty In May 1997 Russia and Ukraine sign a friendship treaty that reconciles them but without removing a main source of tension: Kiev's ties with NATO. It settles a key disagreement by allowing Russia to retain ownership of the majority of ships in the Black Sea fleet based in Ukraine's Crimea while requiring that Moscow pay Kiev rent to use the port of Sevastopol. Moscow however remains Kiev's most important commercial partner, with Ukraine totally dependent on Russian oil and gas. Pro-West Kiev Ukraine's 2004 presidential election is marred by fraud and the victory of the pro-Russian Viktor Yanukovych provokes unprecedented protests in the peaceful Orange Revolution. It leads the vote to be cancelled and in December pro-Western opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko is made president. In January 2005 Yushchenko makes his first trip to Russia in a bid for reconciliation. The 'gas wars' In January 2006 Russian gas monopoly Gazprom suspends vital shipments to Ukraine after months of disputes over the price. The cut affects onward deliveries to European countries hit by a cold snap. Russia again in January 2009 halts gas deliveries to Ukraine owing to the non-payment of debts, also suspending for two weeks all shipments to Europe via Ukraine. There is another halt of several months in 2014 over outstanding payments from Ukraine, which is resolved after marathon EU-brokered talks. Pro-European uprising In November 2013 Yanukovych, president since 2010, suspends talks on a trade and political pact with the European Union in favour of closer ties with Russia. It sparks weeks of massive protests by pro-European opposition groups demanding the pro-Russian ruler quits. The uprising, centred on Kiev's Independence (Maidan) Square, comes to a head in February 2014 when police fire on protesters. Nearly 90 people are killed, bringing the toll from the three-month uprising to around 100. Yanukovych flees to Russia and an interim government is installed. Russia annexes Crimea Pro-Russian demonstrators clash in February 2014 with supporters of the new interim authorities in Simferopol, the capital of the Crimea peninsula. Russian gunmen seize parliament and government buildings, and raise the Russian flag. On March 16 pro-Moscow officials in Crimea hold a referendum on seceding from Ukraine and joining Russia. An overwhelming 97 percent of Crimeans vote in favour, although the move is deemed illegal by Kiev and Western capitals. Two days later Russian President Vladimir Putin signs a treaty absorbing Crimea into Russia. Separatist rebellion In April 2014 a pro-Russian rebellion erupts in Ukraine's industrial eastern areas with demonstrators seizing local government buildings. Pro-Russian officials in Donetsk and Lugansk declare their regions to be independent. Ukraine and its Western allies accuse Russia of instigating the uprising and pouring in arms and troops to bolster the self-proclaimed republics. The Kremlin denies the claims. The conflict has since then left more than 10,000 people dead. Russia claims it was forced to cut off the Kerch Strait with a cargo ship because the Ukrainian navy ships had made an 'unauthorised crossing through Russian territorial waters'. The Kerch Strait was reopened by Monday morning, according to the RIA news agency. Though a 2003 treaty designates the Kerch Strait and Sea of Azov as shared territorial waters, Russia has been asserting greater control over the passage since 2015. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry in a statement said Russia's actions were a violation of the UN Charter. The statement added Russia was informed in advance about the planned transit. The Ukrainian navy said its tugboat's engine, hull, side railing and a lifeboat had been damaged in the conflict. 'Intercepted video' showing the tugboat being rammed by the Russian border service ship was shared by Ukraine's Interior Minister Arsen Avakov. In a tweet, he described it as a an 'act of aggression' that 'will be used as proof in international court'. Russia's FSB security service justified its actions in a statement: 'Having breached this morning the Russian border, the three Ukrainian ships - the Berdyansk, the Nikopol and the Yani Kapu - tried again on November 25 at 19:00 (Moscow time) to conduct illegal actions in Russian territorial waters.' The FSB, which oversees the border guard service, also said the Ukrainian ships had failed to respond to the 'legal demands' of the Russian authorities and that they were aiming 'to create a conflict situation in this region'. Pro-Kremlin media suggested Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko sent the ships through the Kerch Strait in a provocative attempt to boost his approval ratings in the upcoming presidential elections. The European Union issued a statement saying: 'We expect Russia to restore freedom of passage at the Kerch strait and urge all to act with utmost restraint to de-escalate the situation immediately.' NATO in a statement also urged 'restraint and de-escalation', and called on Russia 'to ensure unhindered access to Ukrainian ports in the Azov Sea, in accordance with international law'.

Tension escalates after Russia seizes Ukraine naval ships

26 November 2018

Russia has fired on and seized three Ukrainian naval vessels off the Crimean Peninsula in a major escalation of tensions between the two countries. Two gunboats and a tug were captured by Russian forces. A number of Ukrainian crew members were injured. Each country blames the other for the incident. On Monday Ukrainian MPs are due to vote on declaring martial law. The crisis began when Russia accused the Ukrainian ships of illegally entering its waters. The Russians placed a tanker under a bridge in the Kerch Strait - the only access to the Sea of Azov, which is shared between the two countries. During a meeting of Ukraine's National Security and Defence Council, President Petro Poroshenko described the Russian actions as "unprovoked and crazy". Russia has requested an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council, which US ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley says has been called for 11:00 New York time (16:00 GMT) on Monday. The crisis as it happened Crimea profile  Tensions have recently risen in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov off the Crimean peninsula - annexed by Russia in 2014. How did the crisis unfold? In the morning, Ukraine's Berdyansk and Nikopol gunboats, and the Yana Kapa tug, tried to sail from the Black Sea port of Odessa to Mariupol in the Sea of Azov. Ukraine says the Russians tried to intercept the ships, ramming the tug. The vessels continued towards the Kerch Strait, but were prevented by the tanker. Russia scrambled two fighter jets and two helicopters to the area. It accused the ships of illegally entering its waters and said the traffic had been suspended for security reasons. The Ukrainian navy later said the boats had been hit and disabled as they tried to leave the area. It said six crew members had been injured. Eastern Ukraine: A new, bloody chapter Ukraine names Russia as 'aggressor' state Russia's FSB later confirmed that one of its patrol boats had used force to seize the three Ukrainian vessels but said only three sailors had been wounded. Ukraine said it had informed the Russians of its plan to move its ships through the sea to Mariupol. Blame game Analysis by Steven Rosenberg, BBC News, Moscow Tension between Russia and Ukraine has been building for months off Crimea. Under a 2003 treaty between Moscow and Kiev, the Kerch Strait and the Sea of Azov are shared territorial waters. But recently there, Russia began inspecting all vessels sailing to or from Ukrainian ports. The use of force by Russia to seize Ukrainian vessels - with casualties - is a major escalation. But you won't hear Moscow taking the blame. Under President Vladimir Putin, when Russia has used force before, its line of defence has always been: "We didn't start it." That goes for the Russia-Georgia War of 2008, and the appearance of "Little Green Men" (Russian special forces) in Crimea in 2014, which preceded Moscow's annexation of the peninsula. So, expect Moscow to pin the blame for what happened on Sunday and for whatever happens next on President Poroshenko's government. What has the international response been? The European Union called on Russia to "restore freedom of passage at the Kerch Strait" and urged "all to act with utmost restraint". Nato said it "fully supports Ukraine's sovereignty and its territorial integrity, including its navigational rights in its territorial waters". It said Russia should "ensure unhindered access to Ukrainian ports in the Azov Sea". What's the background to this? The shallow Sea of Azov lies east of Crimea, and south of the Ukrainian regions partially seized by pro-Russian separatists. The two Ukrainian ports on its northern shore - Berdyansk and Mariupol - are key to exporting grain and produce such as steel, also for importing coal. The 2003 treaty between Ukraine and Russia guaranteed free navigation to both countries' vessels. Image caption Russian navy ships intercepted the Ukrainian vessels after accusing them entering Russia's waters But Russia has recently begun inspecting ships going to or from Ukrainian ports. Earlier this month, the EU warned it would take "targeted measures" to address the issue. The inspections began soon after Ukraine detained a fishing vessel from Crimea in March. Moscow says they are necessary for security reasons, pointing to a potential threat to the bridge from Ukrainian radicals. More than 10,000 people have been killed in the eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions since separatists moved against the Ukrainian state in April 2014. Ukraine and the West accuse Russia of sending its troops to the region and arming the separatists. Moscow denies this but says that Russian volunteers are helping the rebels.

U.S. calls on Russia to stop "unlawful conduct" after seizure of Ukrainian ships

MOSCOW — U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley is calling on Russia to "immediately cease its unlawful conduct" in the Black Sea near Crimea during a United Nations Security Council meeting Monday. The Ukrainian navy says Russian ships fired on and seized three of its artillery ships Sunday. The incident sharply escalated tensions that have been growing between the two countries since Moscow annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014. "We call on Russia to respect its international obligations and not obstruct or harass Ukraine's transit in the Kerch Strait. To release the seized Ukrainian ships and crew and to de-escalate the tensions it has created," Haley told the Council, CBS News' Pamela Falk reports. Because both the U.S. and Russia have veto power on the Security Council, no action is expected, but what became clear from the procedural vote on the agenda, Russia is in the minority among Council members about the actions against Ukrainian sailors, Falk reports. Anne Gueguen, the French deputy permanent representative at the U.N., urged the release of the sailors and the vessels. She said Sunday's incidents show the need for de-escalation and a long term resolution to the dispute over Crimea. Russia, meanwhile, called Ukraine's actions "dangerous" and said the three Ukrainian vessels illegally crossed into Russian waters. Dmitry Polyanskiy, Russia's first deputy permanent representative to the United Nations, told the Security Council the weekend incident was another example of Ukrainian leaders trying to provoke Russia for political purposes. He claimed Porschenko needed a war ahead of the March election to gain support from the public.

Report: Gene-edited babies born in China

By Rick Moran November 26, 2018

In an announcement with profound implications for the future of humanity, a Chinese scientist claims to have worked on the first successful live birth of babies whose genetic makeup had been artificially altered. A Chinese researcher claims that he helped make the world’s first genetically edited babies — twin girls born this month whose DNA he said he altered with a powerful new tool capable of rewriting the very blueprint of life. If true, it would be a profound leap of science and ethics. A U.S. scientist said he took part in the work in China, but this kind of gene editing is banned in the United States because the DNA changes can pass to future generations and it risks harming other genes. Many mainstream scientists think it’s too unsafe to try, and some denounced the Chinese report as human experimentation. This is more than "playing God." God would not experiment with his own creation. The researcher, He Jiankui of Shenzhen, said he altered embryos for seven couples during fertility treatments, with one pregnancy resulting thus far. He said his goal was not to cure or prevent an inherited disease, but to try to bestow a trait that few people naturally have — an ability to resist possible future infection with HIV, the AIDS virus. He said the parents involved declined to be identified or interviewed, and he would not say where they live or where the work was done. There is no independent confirmation of He’s claim, and it has not been published in a journal, where it would be vetted by other experts. He revealed it Monday in Hong Kong to one of the organizers of an international conference on gene editing that is set to begin Tuesday, and earlier in exclusive interviews with The Associated Press. “I feel a strong responsibility that it’s not just to make a first, but also make it an example,” He told the AP. “Society will decide what to do next” in terms of allowing or forbidding such science. The problem isn't with the "gene edited" babies. The uncertainty arises in their offspring. How will the edited genes behave when passed on to the next generation? Will they revert to their original coding? Will they mutate into something worse? We just don't have the answers yet and to experiment with human beings like this is simply appalling. It’s “unconscionable ... an experiment on human beings that is not morally or ethically defensible,” said Dr. Kiran Musunuru, a University of Pennsylvania gene editing expert and editor of a genetics journal. “This is far too premature,” said Dr. Eric Topol, who heads the Scripps Research Translational Institute in California. “We’re dealing with the operating instructions of a human being. It’s a big deal.” The experiment could not have taken place anywhere else in the world except a Communist country. Morals and ethics exist only to serve the state. In that sense, China has opened a Pandora's box because it could open Pandora's box and no other reason. Once it became possible, Communist authorities saw no reason to stop it. Does anyone believe that they will only edit genes that make a human being less susceptible to the AIDS virus? Preventing genes from causing diseases is certainly next, but eventually, a baby's genes will be altered to determine intelligence, hair color, athletic ability - the possibilities are endless. A brave new world? I hope not. At least, not until we deal with the ethical ramifications of the technology. And that won't be until we fully understand what editing genes will do.

145 Pilot Whales Have Died After Stranding Themselves on a Remote New Zealand Beach

By Nick Perry / AP November 26, 2018

(WELLINGTON, New Zealand) — All of the 145 pilot whales that stranded themselves on a remote New Zealand beach have died. However, conservation workers are hoping to save some of the eight pygmy killer whales that remained stranded Monday at the other end of the country in an unrelated event. A hiker discovered the pilot whales in two pods about 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) apart late Saturday on Stewart Island. About 75 were already dead and conservation workers decided to euthanize the others due to their poor condition and remote location. Only about 375 people live on Stewart Island, which is also called Rakiura. The whales were found at Mason’s Bay about 35 kilometers (22 miles) from the main township of Oban. “You feel for the animals, it’s just a really sad event,” said Ren Leppens, the Rakiura operations manager for the Department of Conservation. “It’s the kind of thing you don’t want to see. You wish you could understand the reasoning why the whales strand better, so you could intervene.” Leppens said the whales were half buried in sand and not in good health, indicating they had been there for perhaps a day before they were found. He said staff shot the whales and the carcasses would be left where they were for nature to take its course. Meanwhile, on Sunday, 10 pygmy killer whales were found stranded at Ninety Mile Beach on the North Island. Two have since died, and staff plan to try and refloat the remaining eight. Whale strandings are relatively common in New Zealand during the Southern Hemisphere spring and summer. It’s believed strandings can be caused by a number of factors, such as the whales trying to escape predators, falling ill, or navigating incorrectly. Contact us at editors@time.com.

Immigration Jihad: Six Bangladeshis Apprehended in 12 Hours at Texas Border

By Pamela Geller - on November 19, 2018

Six Bangladeshis Apprehended in 12 Hours at Texas Border

Breitbart, November 18th, 2018:

Laredo Sector Border Patrol agents continue to find illegal immigrants from Bangladesh who cross the border from Mexico. During a 12-hour period beginning on Saturday evening, six Bangladeshi nationals were apprehended in two separate incidents. Agents assigned to the Laredo South Border Patrol Station came upon a group of four suspected illegal immigrants while patrolling near Masterson Road in Laredo, Texas, on Saturday. The agents conducted interviews as part of Laredo Sector line watch operations. The questioning revealed the four young men were Bangladeshi nationals, according to Laredo Sector Border Patrol officials. The following morning, Laredo South Station agents carrying out line watch operations came upon another group of two suspected illegal immigrants walking near Oleander Street in Laredo. An interview with the subjects revealed the young men to also be Bangladeshi who were smuggled into the U.S., officials reported. In an incident on October 29, Laredo South Station agents patrolling along the Rio Grande River rescued a group of Bangladeshi nationals as they attempted to cross the river, Breitbart News reported. Two of the migrants nearly drowned before agents were able to pull them into their boat. During the month of October, the first month of the new fiscal year, Laredo Sector agents apprehended at least 75 Bangladeshi nationals. This represents an increase of more than 10 percent over October 2017. During FY2018, which ended on September 30, Laredo Sector agents apprehended 668 Bangladeshi migrants — up nearly 270 percent over the previous year’s total. The sector led the nation in the apprehension of these migrants who paid up to $27,000 each to be moved into the U.S. by cartel-connected human smugglers. “In Fiscal Year 2018, Laredo Sector Border Patrol experienced an unprecedented increase in the apprehension of nationals from the country of Bangladesh,” Laredo Sector Chief Patrol Agent Felix Chavez told Breitbart News earlier this month. “The almost 300% increase in arrests of Bangladeshi nationals over the previous fiscal year highlights the hard work and vigilance of the men and women of the U.S. Border Patrol. We will continue to work with our federal and international partners to share information to stop the flow of those who seek to unlawfully circumvent our nation’s immigration policies.” Hundreds of miles of open river border in South and Central Texas make the area a prime human smuggling corridor for Mexican cartels.

U.S. Closes Ports of Entry Amid Reports Caravan Preparing To Rush Border

Migrants determined to flout American sovereignty

Jamie White | Infowars.com - November 19, 2018

The U.S. has temporarily closed several ports of entry with Mexico after officials received reports that the migrant caravan of 3,000 is preparing to bum-rush the border, DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen announced Monday. “This AM, all of #SanYsidro Port of Entry’s northbound lanes were temporarily closed to initiate additional port hardening efforts after @CBP officials were notified that a large # of caravan migrants were planning to rush the border in an attempt to gain illegal access to the US,” Nielsen tweeted. Sec. Kirstjen Nielsen @SecNielsen This AM, all of #SanYsidro Port of Entry's northbound lanes were temporarily closed to initiate additional port hardening efforts after @CBP officials were notified that a large # of caravan migrants were planning to rush the border in an attempt to gain illegal access to the US. 5,054 1:07 PM - Nov 19, 2018 In response, Customs and Border Protection issued a statement, saying they blocked several port-of-entry lanes and reinforced their numbers to head off the invasion, in conjunction with the Department of Defense. “In the early morning hours, CBP officials received reports of groups of persons from the caravan gathering in the city of Tijuana for a possible attempt or attempts to rush illegally through the port of entry instead of presenting themselves as required to a CBP officer.” “CBP officials suspended operations to safely place impediments at the port of entry that would restrict access to a large group attempting to run through the border crossing. After the CBP response at San Ysidro, no activity materialized at the border crossing,” the statement read. Sec.

Expect Trump to double down on the trade war with China

In two speeches, Vice-President Pence gave up America’s Asia game plan for 2019 – and it won’t be pretty for policymakers, markets or investors

By William Pesek November 20, 2018 12:11 PM (UTC+8)

Asia spent the last 22 months fearing Donald Trump’s angry Twitter feed. Turns out, it’s the United States president’s hologram that poses the biggest risk to the most dynamic economic region. The three-dimensional projection in question is Mike Pence, Trump’s vice-president. In two speeches spread 44 days apart, Pence gave up America’s Asia game plan for 2019. And it won’t be pretty for policymakers, markets or investors in the most dynamic economic region. On October 4 in Washington and October 17 in Papua New Guinea, Pence channeled “teleprompter Trump,” those rare moments when his boss sticks to script and spells out a specific policy. Divining one on China trade has been near impossible. When Trump talks of China, Japan and Southeast Asia, it’s a word salad of resentment, fantasy and paranoia that drives translators batty. Teleprompter Trump sounds like something approaching a traditional American leader. Pence played that role well enough at recent summits of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum. What can Asia investors now conclude? Three things. Misunderstanding One is that US$505 billion worth of tariffs are coming. Trump has been teasing the idea of doubling the $250 billion worth of levies on Chinese goods. Depending on the day, it’s been hard to discern where the odds lie. Trump often contradicts himself in the same interview – at once saying a deal with Xi Jinping is possible, at other moments telegraphing more tariffs. Trump’s misunderstanding of trade leads him to believe that the $505 billion of goods China sent to the US in 2017 means Beijing ripped off American workers by that same amount. Hardly. Still, Pence’s October 4 “we-will-not-stand-down” China speech suggested 2019 could get even worse for Beijing. His November 17 comments – “The US will not change course until China changes its ways” – came with fresh warnings of new taxes on Chinese goods. Pence’s words suggest there will be no Trump 2.0 doctrine following the beating the Republican Party took in November 6 midterm elections. Instead, expect the White House to double down on a trade war it thinks is working. Pence’s assurance that “we’re here to stay” could mean a brutal 2019 for Asian stocks, export growth and epic volatility in currency markets. One of Trump’s biggest missteps on the world stage was believing President Xi Jinping, a fellow nationalist strongman, would buckle. Just as Trump maintaining his base requires him looking resolute, Xi’s legitimacy in Communist Party circles relies on projecting Chinese strength. Bowing to the hate-tweeter-in-chief isn’t an option for a Chinese president aiming to be in office long after the Trump era. Cold War Then, there is the second issue – China will retaliate. So far, Xi’s team has pulled punches in its responses. As Xi put it on November 17, “confrontation, whether in the form of a hot war, cold war or trade war, will produce no winners.” Yet as Trump digs in for greater confrontation, Xi is under pressure to return fire. And Beijing has a rich selection of weapons. China could start dumping its $1.2 trillion of Treasury debt holdings, slamming the dollar and sending US interest rates skyrocketing. Sure, it would be a Pyrrhic victory. Any step that reduces the spending power of US consumers is bad for China’s ability to grow at 6.5%. It would surely get Trump’s attention, though. Xi’s government could begin imposing exit taxes on US goods made in China. That would surely ruin Apple’s year. Beijing could make it harder for Chinese tourists to visit America and slow the flow of students dropping tens of thousands of dollars a year at US universities. It could clamp down on work visas for American executives and corporate licenses. What’s to stop Beijing from doing surprise tax audits, inspections of US airlines, hotels, restaurants and adding new logistics bottlenecks that halt the flow of vital supplies? Trademarks could be revoked, or new taxes imposed. Capital controls could be imposed to impede the operations of US investment banks on the mainland. Big question Finally, there is issue number three – Asia picking sides could roil markets. At last week’s ASEAN summit, Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong asked the question on the mind of every Asian leader: What to do when they’re forced to choose between Trump’s America and Xi’s China? This is, after all, a when, not an if, and 2019 is the year decisions are due. Shinzo Abe’s Japan long ago chose Trump, while Rodrigo Duterte’s Philippines has pivoted in Xi’s direction. Elsewhere in the region, leaders are weighing how to co-exist with two leaders who really know how to hold a grudge – and exact pain. Just ask South Korea, which is still dealing with the fallout from Xi’s wrath for hosting US-built missile-defense systems. Or Mahathir Mohamad’s Malaysia, which is keen to get out of China’s shadow but loath to embrace the Trump White House. Good luck with that balancing act. As these deliberations leak into the press, Asian leaders risk irking Xi, Trump or perhaps both. The resulting tensions – strains Pence suggest will only intensify – could bleed into markets in unpredictable ways. Any new Trump tariffs would slam equities, bonds and currencies. Moves by Beijing to limit access to China’s middle class will reverberate far and wide. One strategy is waiting out the Trump clock, betting that Americans elect a more rational, pro-trade leader come 2020. All bets are off if Trump wins a second term, giving us six more years (counting from now) of Trump versus Xi spooking markets. As Pence, Trump’s hologram, reminds us, Asia hasn’t seen anything yet.

"It Will Be A Cold War": APEC Summit Ends In Unprecedented Chaos After Dramatic US-China Showdown

by Tyler Durden Mon, 11/19/2018 - 03:07

One day after vice president Mike Pence and China's president Xi Jinping clashed after exchanging sharply worded barbs in a showdown between the two superpowers, on Sunday the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit ended in unprecedented chaos and disarray, without agreement on a joint communique for the first time in its history as the escalating rivalry between the United States and China dominated proceedings and reflected escalating trade tensions. Competition between the United States and China over the Pacific was also thrown into focus with the United States and its Western allies launching a coordinated response to China’s Belt and Road program, Reuters added. One diplomat told Reuters tension between the U.S. and China, bubbling all week, erupted when the Chinese government’s top diplomat, Wang Yi, objected during a leaders’ retreat to two paragraphs in a draft document seen by Reuters. One mentioned opposing “unfair trade practices” and reforming the WTO, while another concerned sustainable development. “These two countries were pushing each other so much that the chair couldn’t see an option to bridge them,” said the unnamed diplomat. "China was angered that the reference to WTO blamed a country for unfair trade practices." Sunday’s dramatic conclusion was foreshadowed by accusations that Chinese officials had attempted to strong-arm officials in Papua New Guinea, which was hosting the event, into issuing a statement that fitted what Beijing wanted. The Chinese vigorously denied the claims. When asked about the impasse, Papua New Guinea’s Prime Minister Peter O’Neill was quoted by the South China Morning Post saying: “You know the two big giants in the room, so what can I say?” Instead of issuing a document that all 21 participants could agree O’Neill, said he would issue a “chair’s statement” reflecting the issues the participants did agree upon. The prime minister said the main area of disagreement was the insistence by one country — believed to be the US — that the communique would reflect the need for reform at the World Trade Organization. O’Neill also said there had been disagreement on the bloc’s so called “Bogor Goals”, which require it to achieve free and open trade among its developing economies by 2020. And while O'Neill said the differences on that issue had been ironed out, there was no such luck when it came to the topic of WTO reforms. President Trump has previously threatened to pull out of the organisation, claiming that its rules unfairly favoured China. O’Neill did not say which country objected to WTO reforms but added: "Apec has got no charter over World Trade Organisation. That is a fact. That matter can be raised at the World Trade Organisation." China has said it broadly supports the WTO, while European Union proposals to reform the institution are expected to be tabled at the G20 summit in Argentina, where Trump and Xi are planning to meet in an effort to resolve their differences. Additionally, Sunday’s developments also came with a side plot, with China pushing back against accusations that its officials had tried to “barge” their way into the office of New Guinea’s Foreign Minister Rimbink Pato in an attempt to influence the communique. Citing three sources, a report by Agence France-Presse claimed that police had been called to turn the Chinese away. But in a press conference on Sunday afternoon, senior foreign ministry official Wang Xiaolong said the reports were “simply not true”, adding: “We are having close interactions with Papua New Guinea colleagues ... we are mostly on the same page both on the process as well as the substance of the agenda.” Pato told Reuters the Chinese officials who had come to see him had been refused a meeting because they had not made the “necessary arrangements”. Separately, Wang said that leaders had “made considerable progress” at the summit and “reaffirmed their common commitment to keep the momentum going. We will leave it now to hands of the host nation to capture the consensus that emerged during discussion" although according to media reports there was virtually none. A senior government source from a Southeast Asian country told the South China Morning Post the last-minute talks had been “very tense”. “Try as we did, we couldn’t come to an agreement on certain trade issues. The gulf was too big. The US and China could not see eye to eye... I am not too surprised at the outcome,” the source said. Underscoring the dramatic tension between the two superpowers, another source told SCMP that while Asian countries had expected some disagreement over WTO reform, they did not expect the US and China to hold out to the extent of blocking a final communique. The source said the failure of the bloc’s foreign ministers to issue a statement ahead of the summit, something that is usually a formality, was also down to their differences over the issue. A source from Taiwan said delegates had been working to reach a consensus until the small hours of Sunday. They were then told on Sunday morning that some delegations wanted to make “some comments” on the proposed communique as leaders met for a retreat and a working lunch. Finally, O’Neill told reporters his chair’s statement would be issued later on Sunday, but it had been not released by the secretariat at 8pm local time (10am universal standard time). Pence, who left Papua New Guinea on Sunday afternoon along with Xi, said there had been major differences between his country and China. “They begin with trade practices, with tariffs and quotas, forced technology transfers, the theft of intellectual property. It goes beyond that to freedom of navigation in the seas [and] concerns about human rights,” he said. As Bloomberg summarizes and as discussed yesterday, Pence sharpened U.S. attacks on China during a week of summits that ended Sunday, most notably with a call for nations to avoid loans that would leave them indebted to Beijing. He said the U.S. wasn’t in a rush to end the trade war and would “not change course until China changes its ways” -- a worrying prospect for a region heavily reliant on exports. “The language we heard from Pence is quite concerning because it shows we’re moving toward a zero-sum game geopolitics in the Asia-Pacific,” said Jonathan Pryke, a researcher specializing in the Pacific at the Lowy Institute, a Sydney-based research group. “The great hope of convergence between China and the U.S. is becoming less and less of a likely reality.” Meanwhile, the brittle geopolitical balance of power in Southeast Asia is emerging as another major point of conflict between the two superpowers. While the U.S. can depend on allies like Japan, Australia and Taiwan, nations such as South Korea and the Philippines that have defense arrangements with the U.S. would try to hedge, according to Minxin Pei, a China scholar and specialist in U.S.-Asia relations. Southeast Asian countries were “desperate fence sitters” who don’t want to make China an enemy, said Pei, who is a professor of government at Claremont McKenna College in California. “China and the U.S will try very hard in the next few years to charm the countries in the region.” “As the tension with U.S. has risen, China’s approach to its neighboring countries has changed,” said Shi Yinhong, an international relations professor at Renmin University in Beijing. “China would like to gain as many friends as it can at the moment.” While in Asia, Pence also tried to pull more nations away from China's and into the US sphere of influence, saying the U.S. provides "a better option" for nations in the region and announced a plan along with key Pacific allies to build a $1.7 billion electricity grid in Papua New Guinea. The U.S. also joined with Australia to redevelop a naval base - a show of force which will infuriate Beijing - and held a meeting of “the Quad”, a group that also includes India and Japan, in a bid to balance China’s rising economic and military strength. As a result of this rising geopolitical tension even as the US threatens to boost Chinese tariffs and rates as soon as January 1, and underscoring the market's worst fears, the meetings in Singapore and Papua New Guinea produced little to suggest Trump and Xi would reach a deal when they meet in a few weeks at the Group of 20 summit in Argentina. To be sure, Pence sought to downplay regional concerns that American actions would lead to economic pain and force countries to choose between the U.S. and China: “Great power competition between the United States and China in this region doesn’t have to mean hostility,” Pence said. “These issues can be resolved, we believe, at the negotiation table." What he didn't add is that they can only be resolved if China - and only China - makes the concessions, something which Beijing has made abundantly clear it won't do. Which is why, as Bloomberg concludes, "many in the region don’t expect a deal anytime soon, despite periodic optimism from Trump’s camp." "This is one episode in the hegemonic struggle between the U.S. and China - it will go on for a while,” said Kunihiko Miyake, a former Japanese foreign ministry official who is now a visiting professor at Ritsumeikan University. “It will be a Cold War, whether we call it that or not."

The Future of War: Autonomous AI and the Threat of ‘Killer Robots’ - Report

The use of lethal weapons in combat against an enemy has always, until now, been decided by a human - but changes are coming. As artificial intelligence (AI) advancements — including cutting-edge robotics and silicon-based image recognition technology — have now pushed the once-fantastic idea of ‘killer robots' onto the global stage, modern autonomous war machines that fire live ammo could soon seek and destroy battlefield combatants, leading many to wonder if there is an ‘off' switch. Among other nations, China and the US are working to make advancements in artificial intelligence, machine image recognition and semi-autonomous robotics to be used in combination with sensors and targeting computers, according to a New York Post published Thursday. Britain and Israel are currently using missiles and drones with autonomous features; such weapons can attack enemy radar, vehicles or ships without human commands. Technology for weapon systems to autonomously identify and destroy targets has existed for several decades. In the 1980s and 90s, Harpoon and Tomahawk missiles, which could identify targets autonomously, were developed by US war planners. In 2003, the US Army developed the Counter-Rocket, Artillery and Mortar system (C-RAM), a set of systems to detect incoming rockets, artillery and mortar rounds while they are still airborne and alert a human operator. Such a system allows the operator — with the press of a button — to destroy the incoming threat with ammunition that self-destructs in the air to minimize injuring civilians on the ground. During the 1947-1991 Cold War between the Soviet Union and the US, the US Navy used its Phalanx weapon system for defense against anti-ship missiles and helicopters, linking sensors on fleet ships and aircraft to single out airborne threats and attack them with shipboard missiles, all without the intervention of human operators. Robert Work, a senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security in Washington, recently told the New York Post that a true robot killing marching could be defined as a lethal autonomous weapon that decides — based on its programming — who and what to destroy. "There's a type of fire-and-forget weapon where the weapon itself decides, ‘Okay, this is what I see happening in the battlefield, and I think I'm going to have to take out this particular tank because I think this tank is the command tank,'" Work noted, describing his definition of a true independent weapons platform. Currently, the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has a Collaborative Operations in Denied Environment (CODE) program focused on developing software that allows groups of drones to work in teams. According to the DARPA website, "DARPA's CODE program aims to overcome these limitations with new algorithms and software for existing unmanned aircraft that would extend mission capabilities and improve US forces' ability to conduct operations in denied or contested airspace. CODE researchers seek to create a modular software architecture beyond the current state of the art that is resilient to bandwidth limitations and communications disruptions yet compatible with existing standards and amenable to affordable retrofit into existing platforms." According to Paul Scharre, author of "Army of None: Autonomous Weapons and the Future of War," the purpose of CODE is not to develop autonomous weapons, but rather to adapt to "a world where we'll have groups of robots operating collaboratively together under one person in supervisory control. The program manager has compared it to wolves hunting in coordinated packs," the New York Post reported. The role of a human operators in the CODE platform would be to simply monitor the drones. "The idea here is that CODE is going after mobile or rapidly relocatable targets, so the target locations cannot be specified precisely in advance by humans," Scharre said. "It's not like a Tomahawk cruise missile, where you just program in the coordinates and then the missile goes and strikes it. The drones have to be able to search an area and find targets on the move," he added, cited by Nytimes.com. In addition, companies in the US have also been developing loitering munitions — essentially drones that can independently identity and destroy enemy radar systems. According to specialists like Tony Cerri, who recently inspected data science, models and simulations at the US Army Training and Doctrine Command, independent weapons are necessary. "Imagine that we are fighting in a city and we have a foe that is using human life indiscriminately as a human shield," Cerri told the New York Post. "It's constantly in your face as you're out walking in the street. You can't deal with every situation. You are going to make a mistake." "A robot, operating with milliseconds, looking at data that you can't even begin to conceive, is going to say this is the right time to use this kind of weapon to limit collateral damage," he added, arguing that robot killing machines are less likely to make mistakes. Robotics activists, however, claim that the use of autonomous killer robots is morally wrong. "We've focused on two things that we want to see remain under meaningful, or appropriate, or adequate, or necessary human control," Mary Wareham, the global coordinator for the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots, told the New York Post. "That's the identification and selection of targets and then the use of force against them, lethal or otherwise," key decision points, she noted, where only human judgment — capable of discriminating between enemy and bystander — can keep a sense of proportionality in responding and can be held accountable while satisfying the conventions of war. In June, Google published a statement asserting that neither it nor its parent company Alphabet, Inc. will not use artificial intelligence to develop "weapons or other technologies whose principal purpose or implementation is to cause or directly facilitate injury to people.

Work Remote? These Cities, States, and Countries Offer Crazy Incentives to Move There

By Joe Jarvis November 19, 2018

Tulsa, Oklahoma offers $10,000 to any remote worker who moves to the city. And to sweeten the deal, they are throwing in a free membership at a co-working space. On January 1, 2019, Vermont will begin its new program offering $10,000 worth of tax credits to remote workers who move to the state. Employees aren’t the only ones Vermont is trying to draw to its rolling hills: Companies that move to Vermont can get up to $125,000 in total credits in 2019 and up to $250,000 in 2020 to cover relocation costs, equipment expenses, broadband updates and employee membership fees for co-working spaces. Remote workers are an extra driving force encouraging states, cities, and even countries to compete with each other. Money follows remote workers to their new state or city, instead of coming from the pool of jobs which already exist in that jurisdiction. When that new resident spends money on rent, food, entertainment, and so on, it is a net gain for the state. As more and more people work remotely, expect better and better deals from states and cities. Already digital nomads are driving this trend forward, constantly voting with their feet. Cities, states, and countries compete every day for residents. Based on taxes, laws, regulations, ease of doing business, corruption, cost of living and so much more, different locations can attract residents by being more friendly places to live and work. But more and more jurisdictions are actively taking this competition to the residents they want to attract. Low taxes and rich culture are greatbut money talks. To try to keep educated young people in the state, Maine will slash your tax bill by the amount you pay each year in student loans if you graduated between 2007 and 2016. So if you pay $2000 for student loans, and your tax bill is $3000, Maine will only charge $1000. They even offer this to people who graduated from college after 2015 outside of Maine and relocate to the state. Candela, a town in Italy with a dwindling population, offers up to $2,350 for a family or $950 for singles to move to the historic medieval town. Towns in Kansas and Nebraska offer free plots of land to anyone who agrees to build a house. New Haven, Connecticut offers generous cash incentives for new homeowners. And Baltimore, Maryland holds a lottery to give out 30 $5,000 awards each year towards buying homes. Another program offers $10,000 for buying distressed properties. Last week I wrote about how secession from the Soviet Union created competition among former member states. I said that countries like Estonia are innovating with their e-residency program, and this made them more competitive against other former Soviet countries like Georgia. Five days after I published that article, Georgia announced that they are starting their own e-residency program. Clearly, we have a little friendly competition going on between the two up and coming nations. Someone commented that it doesn’t matter how innovative these countries become, because they lost citizens after the Soviet Union collapsed, and their birth rates are too low to grow the population. It is true that Estonia and Georgia lost citizens to emigration in the wake of the Soviet collapse, and the populations continue to decline. What better way to reverse this trend than offering a compelling reason to immigrate to the country? It cannot be denied that the economies of these countries are growing. E-residency is still in its infancy, and we don’t know yet what final form it could take. In the stale nation-state style governing structures of the 20th century, population decline is a major problem. But looking to the future of government, e-residency could be the calling card of 21st-century super-powers. Look at it this way: if they can sell you citizenship and government services without you having to physically live in the country, who cares what their population is? They are signaling their intentions to become some of the first “distributed governments,” not relying on borders to offer services, but instead providing for citizens wherever they reside. Imagine canceling your subscription to the United States government, and signing up for Estonian government instead, without moving. That’s the future I want to live in. Remember, the online world is new and ever growing. In business competition, the lumbering old dinosaurs are killed off by nimble young innovators offering new and better products. Which brings us to the losers in the modern world… Some cities don’t even want you to visitNew York City recently invested $7 million into a program to enforce its ban on entire apartment Airbnb rentals. Last month they carried out raids against hosts. Los Angeles restricts the number of days an apartment can be listed each year unless the host pays over $1,000 per year to the city. Washington, DC plans on enacting the strictest rules in the country on Airbnb hosts. These and many other “dinosaur” jurisdictions continually harass Airbnb hosts, destroying a valuable sector of their economy, to protect the hotel lobby. Large cities often try to push Uber out as well, propping up the old expensive subpar taxi services, and killing the market for affordable transportation. Times, they are changing. Some may scoff at choosing to live in Tulsa, OK over NYC. But even Oklahoma, the reddest of red states, recently legalized medical marijuana. To me, that suggests the future will not be built along party lines. It will be decided by free people–free to move, free to travel, to use innovative services, to reward friendly jurisdictions by visiting and residing there. And sooner or later, governments will be little more than insurance companies, offering their services wherever you reside. Yes, for now, big governments can and will continue to crack down and tighten the grip on the unlucky citizens that remain. But it is becoming easier and easier to take your business elsewhere.

Democrats Voter Fraud In 2018 Was A Trial Run To Steal The Presidency For The Globalists In 2020 - Democrats Proved In 2018 They'll Stop At Nothing To Destroy The 'Rule Of Law' And America

November 20, 2018 By John C. Velisek - Retired, USN - All News Pipeline

Voter fraud is nothing new, it goes far back to the Kennedy administration. The Democrat machine at the time, worked with the unions to give the Democrats an insurmountable lead. Looking at the past elections and the chaos throughout our country has lost the confidence of the American people in elections. The start of this loss of confidence was Florida and has taken up most of the discussion over the past two weeks. Democrat leaders in Florida were caught fixing improper ballots after the deadline had passed. Filing these ballots after the election was illegal, at least it was until an Obama appointed judge ruled that these ballots must be counted, resulting in judicial sanctioned fraud. This one step should be enough to process charges upon all concerned. The Naples Daily News reported that Florida Democrats were in the process of starting a broader statewide effort throughout Florida to give altered forms to fix improper ballots. After being warned by a Democratic consultant Jake Sanders about the questionable legality of such a move the campaign leadership continued unabated, under the impression that an activist judge would allow the process. The modified date on these altered “cure affidavits” was changed to November 8th, two days after the election. The leadership pushed the process not only under Brenda Snipes in Broward County but to Pam Keith a Palm Beach County Democrat activist to do the same. It had spread to other counties as well. Keith figured it would be better to ask for forgiveness afterward if they could not find a sympathetic judge. Her excuse is that the date that was set by the state of Florida was “arbitrary”, a conclusion she had neither the right or authority to make. It is informative that she decided on her own that the deadline was “meaningless”. It was the State legislature, the Florida Department of State, that made the rules, but in an effort to allow fraud to steal an election she felt it was in her power to ignore the laws as they were. Together with Broward County, they would have continued to do what they could to change the outcome of the election. The Democrat lawyers even went so far as to attempt to get the judge to declare non-citizens voting as legal, a clear contradiction of the Federal law. In California, widespread election theft continues unabated without any investigation of false ballot manufacturing, illegal immigrant voting, and outright fraud. Once again, the ability to “find” thousands of ballots after the deadline of the election has passed is strictly a Democrat ability. It is informative that these “found” ballots which have been unearthed by Democrat operatives are sole to the benefit of the progressive socialists running in California. The list of House seats that Republicans have lost AFTER the final results were in is considered in the state. Virtually every Democrat House district that Republicans had won on election day has been flipped by “found ballots “ in their districts. Seven out of 10 House races that had already been called for Republicans and in Republican strongholds were won by Democrats and “found ballots.” In the 10th congressional district, Josh Harder had a lead of over 3000 votes of Republican incumbent Jeff Dunham, even though the lead was a toss up on election night. The 45th district of conservative Orange country “found” enough votes that Republican Rep. Mimi Walters who had led since election night and 100% of precincts reported was found to be 261 votes down to socialist Katie Porter after “ found ballots” were counted. The 39th district Republican Young Kim was declared the winner by a wide margin with 100% of precincts reporting, but then lost that lead because of “found ballots” to Democrat Gil Cisneros. The same has happened to Republican Dana Rohrbacher in the 48th district. Rohrbacher has been in Congress for over 30 years and was considered by both sides to have safe seat. He was pushed out of office after the counting of “found ballots” after the election was over. Once again, all the “found ballots” were for the progressive socialist candidate Harley Rouda.. and in the open seat of the retiring Darrel Issa in the 49th district. What is the answer to this, and why has there not been an investigation forthcoming. Perhaps it is because the progressive socialists have inundated the state with “found ballots” that have no verification available and for the power given to those voting illegally and benefits takers who are willing to do anything to help keep the progressive socialists in power. In Arizona, Republican Martha McSally was ahead of Kyrsten Sinema the night of the election by a sizable margin but because of “found ballots” Sinema now has a sizable lead padded by these found ballots. Many are looking at and requesting an investigation into Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fuentes who they claim used his position to influence the outcome of this election. In New Mexico, after the announcement that Republican Yvette Harrel had won in New Mexico’s 2nd Congressional District, “found ballots” were found repeatedly until the number of votes favored the progressive socialist Xochitl Torres. The “found ballots were never verified but gave the race to the Democrat. Harrel is contesting the race, and once again there should be an investigation of where these ballots came from. The Secretary of State for the state of New Mexico had found 400 ballots, and then 4000 more which predominantly went to Torres and flipped the race. No one has been able to explain where these “found ballots” were found or where they came from. And of course, who cannot ignore Georgia, where the “found ballots” could not overcome the substantial leads that the Republican had built. Loud voices snarled that “all the ballots, including the “found ballots that at one time totaled over 5000 must be counted. I find it interesting that of the 5,569 ballots “found”, 4804 were for Abrams, who still refuses to admit she lost. And with the help of an activist judiciary and the media is claiming the election was stolen and is demanding a new election. Once again, a large and concerted effort to derail the will of the people and steal the election Abrams has even gone so far as to claim racism as the reason she lost. Jim Hoft has an excellent article in The Gateway Pundit that zeros in on the lying and fraud that the progressive socialists think will work well for them in getting the power they feel they so rightly deserve. If the leftists can't win the election, they always seem to find the ballots required for them to take the election from the rightful winner. It is amazing that “found ballots” only occur in areas where the Democrats lose and always carry a high advantage for the progressive socialist who lost. All these fraudulent outcomes are being touted by the media as a reason for “direct democracy”. Political illiterates like Ezra Klein, are claiming that the Democrats won the House popular vote, a term that is meaningless in both House and the Senate. He obviously has not read the Constitution, or he would know the word “Democracy” does not appear in the Constitution or the Bill of Right once. He has shown himself to be another political illiterate along with all the rest on the progressive socialist of the Democratic Party who lies to the American people and refuse to admit that we are in fact a “Constitutional Republic.” I would bet even money that they could not even explain what that means and why the Founders felt it was the best way to serve the citizens of this country. The question becomes, why is it that no one is going to jail for the fraud perpetrated on the country, and is this nothing more than a trial run for 2020?

Top 5 TOXINS that turn critically thinking citizens into obedient sheeple so that globalists can control elections

Monday, November 19, 2018 by: S.D. Wells

(Natural News) In the minds of most Americans, chemical warfare happens only on television and in movies, where evil terrorists and insidious dictators use chemical or biological weapons to kill enemy soldiers or innocent citizens, all in the name of some rogue “religion,” or to make some dogmatic political statement. You may also be recalling the gas chambers of the Holocaust. However, that kind of chemical warfare is usually short-lived and then quashed by some powerful nation or combination of rich, elite politicians who simply won’t tolerate losing control of their loyal people – the same citizens who believe their leaders are always taking action in their own country’s “best interest.” These gullible folks are called “sheeple,” and they themselves are controlled by a whole different kind of chemical warfare, that’s much more effective for long-term mind control. Americans who fall under this chemically-induced “spell” rarely ever wake up from it – they remain zombie-like tax payers for life, who vote for more punishment, fewer rights, and lots of “free stuff” (that they may never even get).  Obama’s 50 million hypnotized Democrats still think the Democratic party is normal and cares about them Millions of Americans, at some point in the past ten years, realized that Barrack “Insane” Obama really does hate America and did everything he could to create animosity, hatred, dissonance, and dissension in the ranks. Obama helped lead a globalist takeover of all social media, the networks, the newspapers, Google, YouTube, the FDA, the CDC, the EPA, the USDA, all while funding terrorism, including helping Iran become more of a nuclear threat to the world.  Right about now, you should be asking yourself how this was accomplished, when tens of millions of those hypnotized voters are seemingly intelligent people who keep “responsible” jobs, raise children, and even donate some of their hard-earned money to the Democratic Party? It’s a great question with a quite simple answer – and it’s called domestic chemical warfare. Chemically-induced fear and confusion lead to emotional decisions based on propaganda and the mass media’s repetitive messages Nearly every American who voted for POTUS Donald J. Trump realized before the election that he was right about the mass media being the “enemy of the people.” Yet, what Trump failed to call out, mainly because he’s a big business guru and didn’t want to, is that Big Food and Big Pharma have a base formula that allows the media brainwashing to work in the first place. You see, if you don’t “dumb down” the masses, they won’t continue to buy and consume all the junk science that keeps them mesmerized by propaganda. The formula is simple: Put enough brain-numbing chemicals in common food and mainstream medicine to convince Americans that there’s safety in numbers, and then deliver those “norms” through the television, press conferences, newspapers, and on the world wide web. Hardly a soul who eats organic food, uses natural medicine, owns land, and owns guns would ever vote for a talking head that promises free food, free college, and free healthcare “for all.” Like the old saying goes, if it sounds to good to be true – it is. Fluoride, heavy metals, psych drugs, canola oil and GMOs So how does the government of the most powerful nation in the world dumb-down and brainwash 50 million people into voting away their inherent rights and freedoms, all while believing they’re being represented by leaders who aren’t planning to turn their country into a communist wasteland under the guise of socialism? Again, the formula is simple. Most Americans believe that most food they find at any typical grocery store is decent enough to eat, because they think the FDA protects them from eating chemicals. Those same people believe that most medicine that medical doctors prescribe and recommend is decent enough to protect them from diseases and treat disorders, because they think the CDC protects them. Yet, it’s just the opposite on all counts. Sodium fluoride is proven by science to lower human IQ and cause cancer, and it’s dripped into most U.S. municipal tap water by the government on purpose. The most popular vaccines, flu shots, are loaded with mercury, which has been proven to cause neurological and brain damage to humans. The CDC recommends annual mass-mercury injections for all pregnant women and 6-month-young infants. Ever heard of mad hatter syndrome? Nearly every psychological drug on the market today causes depression, anxiety, confusion, doubt, and other physical and mental conditions that keep people from thinking critically, or thinking straight at all. Canola oil has been proven by science to cause memory loss, confusion, cognitive decline and dementia. Ever wonder why most Democratic voters can’t seem to remember what happened just weeks or months ago? It’s like “Ground Hog Day” (the movie) every day for these folks. Genetically modified foods contain pesticides, including chemical insecticides and herbicides, that literally break down the cleansing organs and systematically destroy the brain, causing cancer and dementia. The more you eat, the sicker and dumber you become. Folks, those are the top 5 toxins that turn critical thinking citizens into obedient sheeple so that globalists can control elections. Welcome to modern day domestic chemical warfare. Want to save our country from a globalist takeover in two years? Help your brainwashed friends, neighbors, coworkers, and relatives change their diet and medicine choices, and maybe we will have a chance at preserving the Republic and the Constitution. Good luck.

NPR Says This May Be 'One Of The US Government's Most Closely Guarded Secrets' - Is Hillary Secretly Running Parts Of America? Remember! She Wanted To ASSASSINATE Julian Assange

- Following 'Electo-Geddon', The DOJ Guns For The Man Who Took The Evil Witch Down!

By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

While NPR reported on November 17th that a so-called 'court records nerd' had discovered that the US Justice Department may be preparing to criminally charge Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange after researcher Seamus Hughes discovered what the NPR story called 'one of the government's most closely guarded secrets', the #ClintonCrimeFamily continues literally and metaphorically to 'get away with murder'. Following a search on an unrelated case, Hughes ran into information that has led him to believe that the US DOJ is secretly preparing to charge Assange for what amounts to 'journalism' and his role in taking down Hillary's presidency by exposing emails that clearly paint Hillary as 'the rat' that she is, should Assange be prosecuted for exposing Hillary's and the DNC's crimes, while the witch and the demonrats walk free, Americans will have absolute proof that the 'rule of law' in America was designed around protecting the Clinton's. And with the Robert Mueller 'Russia-gate witch hunt' continuing despite Attorney General Jeff Sessions resigning and him being replaced with Matthew Whitaker, who many on the left believed would interfere with Mueller's work, we have to take another look where this is all headed with WND and former Infowars reporter Jerome Corsi recently telling the Daily Caller that he expects to be indicted. And listening to Corsi's description of what he has been put through by Mueller's team proves to us what America has become under 8 years of Barack Obama, following 8 years of George Bush, following 8 years of Bill and Hillary Clinton: a 'budding police state' which was on course to join some of the worst totalitarian regimes of all time and possibly on the verge of becoming a full-fledged dictatorship on par with China or the worst regimes throughout history. From Talking Points Memo: Long-time conspiracy theorist and recent Robert Mueller investigation participant Jerome Corsi said that he expects to be indicted this week by the special counsel, potentially “for some form or other of lying.” “So now I’m gonna have to go to prison for the rest of my life because I dared to oppose the deep state,” Corsi said in a rambling Nov. 12 Youtube broadcast, adding: “I do ask for assistance with donations, the Paypal is set up right now.” Corsi, an ally of Roger Stone, has been meeting with the Mueller team since August, saying that he had spent roughly 40 hours speaking with prosecutors. “The entire negotiations and discussions have just blown up,” Corsi said, claiming he had been caught in a “perjury trap.” “Two months, six sessions, probably 40 hours of grilling, [it] reminds me of the KGB or the Gestapo,” he opined. “I felt like a prisoner of war in the Korean War being interrogated by North Koreans.” Needless to say, in this America we're now living in, where one crazy Democratic Congressman has insanely put out a tweet threatening to use the US military to 'nuke' his own constituents who won't hand over their guns, it's well passed time for Americans to prepare to defend ourselves and our families and loved ones against any totalitarian regimes that may emerge upon the other side of this long fall into tyranny in America. As Mike Adams points out in this new story over at Natural News, WHY IS the US DOJ considering indicting Julian Assange but not Hillary? And should such a thing happen, giving tens of millions of Americans ABSOLUTE PROOF that the 'rule of law' in America was created to PROTECT Hillary and the #ClintonCrimeFamily, how can Americans EVER trust anything that comes from that office ever again? Acting attorney General Matthew Whitaker sure has a major mess to clean up that he was dealt. As Steve Quayle told us in a recent note, following the 2018 mid-terms, we've witnessed "Electo-geddon" in America: "The old statement is true, it's not WHO casts the votes that counts, it's WHO STEALS the votes that counts!" And should America fall into all-out socialist tyranny following what would could be a Democratic presidential election steal in 2020, how will we ever get the America we know back again? The answer is clear, should President Trump lose in 2020 and a totalitarian-globalist win, 'America' is history. So let's take an extended look at this new story from Mike Adams over at Natural News over the next few sections in which we see that should Assange be indicted and Hillary walk, 'justice' in America is done forever, never to be seen again by Americans thanks to the global elite who long ago sold out America for their totalitarian 'new world order'. As journalist Chris Hedges recently reported, Julian Assange and Wikileaks have exposed more political corruption in America than the mainstream media journalists ever did. According to the Wall Street Journal, the U.S. Justice Department is about to indict and prosecute Julian Assange, a journalist whose life has already been destroyed through his “imprisonment” in an Ecuadorian embassy for the last six years. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton, a traitorous political mafia boss who sold out America’s strategic uranium supply to enemies while collecting “speaking fee” bribes from international oligarchs, is apparently not being prosecuted by anyone at all. What’s wrong with this picture? If anyone should go free today, it’s Julian Assange. And if anyone should be indicted and prosecuted for serious crimes, it’s Hillary Clinton. Yet, as the WSJ reports: U.S. prosecutors have discussed several types of charges they could potentially bring against Mr. Assange… The exact charges Justice Department might pursue remain unclear, but they may involve the Espionage Act, which criminalizes the disclosure of national defense-related information. As Adams then points out, the differences between Hillary and Assange are like night and day, with Assange using journalism to expose Hillary's myriad history of crimes, including arming ISIS and al-Qaeda terrorists in Syria while the 'war on terror' was ongoing, while Hillary used the DOJ, FBI and the mainstream media to cover up her crimes, the crimes that Wikileaks has already exposed. And while NBC recently reported the 'huge bombshell' that President Trump friend Roger Stone had been discussing Wikileaks taking down Hillary on October 1st, nearly a week before Wikileaks had recently that email dump, Wikileaks had been releasing a steady stream of emails proving that Hillary Clinton was a criminal who had committed treason against America as ANP had reported back on July 24th of 2016, again on July 27th of 2016, then once again on August 2nd of 2016, and then even again on September 7th of 2016. And we remind you that on January 26th of 2018 we reported that Hillary Clinton had once called for the assassination of Julian Assange as if she was somehow 'judge, jury and executioner'. And still, after exposing the crimes of Hillary Rodham Clinton against the People of the United States of America, including the crime of treason for arming our stated enemy, the DOJ is going after the man who exposed the criminal. As Steve Quayle wisely noted of the DOJ while linking to this Mike Adams story, "Res Ipsa Loquitur, their actions speak for themselves". In the first video below, Joe diGenova rips the corruption we're witnessing from the agency that is supposed to make America stand far above the banana republics of the world. And while the DOJ proves beyond a shadow of a doubt to the American people that the rule of law doesn't apply to Hillary by both turning a blind eye upon her crimes while going after the journalist who exposed them, we should remember that back in October of 2016, even President Trump admitted that Wikileaks exposed Hillary as a criminal as heard in the 2nd video below. Yet that 'criminal' somehow manages to keep her hold and control over the DOJ and FBI, as if the DOJ and FBI themselves were petrified of her. As Adams then points out, anyone who opposes Hillary ends up in a body bag. The trail of blood that follows Hillary wherever she goes might be enough to get the FBI and DOJ 'in line' for Hillary. Is Hillary secretly running parts of America? The difference between Julian Assange and Hillary Clinton Julian Assange is committed to transparency and truth. Hillary Clinton is committed to cover-ups and lies. Julian Assange went public with damning evidence of America’s treachery to try to make it stop. Hillary Clinton destroyed damning evidence and magnified America’s treachery to try to make it worse. Julian Assange would do anything just to breathe fresh air again and walk in a public park. Hillary Clinton would do anything to suffocate America’s freedoms and seize authoritarian power over the entire nation. Julian Assange wants people to live (and learn, and awaken). Hillary Clinton wants people to DIE (and sleep with the fishes). When peoples’ lives are at stake, Julian Assange goes public with important information to keep people informed. But when lives are at stake in the Middle East, Hillary Clinton pretends a terrorist attack isn’t happening and refuses to send aid, making sure U.S. soldiers and ambassadors get murdered by a lunatic mob. Then she blames someone else for the entire thing with a made-up story of pure fiction. Coincidentally, that’s exactly how Robert Mueller operates, too. Julian Assange exposed the truth about the DNC. Hillary Clinton hid the truth (about Benghazi and much more) and has peddled nothing but lies for the last three decades. Julian Assange located dark secrets and exposed them to the public in the name of transparency. Hillary Clinton took public truths and buried them inside layers of dark secrets in the name of deception and treason. Julian Assange is a well-meaning man with a deep commitment to share the truth. Hillary Clinton is a vindictive, vicious woman with a deep commitment to making sure anyone who opposes her ends up in a body bag. With the entire Mueller investigation surrounding the hacked emails that Wikileaks was able to obtain and Wikileaks claiming all the way back in 2016 that their source was a DNC staffer, has Mueller looked at all into the murder of Seth Rich and the very strong possibility that he was another name added to the still growing #ClintonBodyCount, taken out by the #ClintonCrimeFamily and the DNC? As we all know by now, the DNC sold away their souls and their allegiance to Democrats in America by making sure that Hillary won the Democratic nomination, damn Bernie Sanders and his flock of followers. So with the lines now clearly drawn between good and evil, and transparency and secrecy, and 'evil' happy to shut up any and all detractors by any and every means necessary, should the DOJ continue and indict Julian Assange for exposing the crimes of Hillary Clinton upon the American, crimes that were nothing less than treason, an executable offense, Americans will then have absolute proof that 'Justice' in America has fallen and we're now living in something verging upon being a banana Republic. So we'll agree with Mike Adams in his conclusion to this must read story, that if anyone should be locked up, it should be Hillary, with Assange given a hero's welcome here in America for taking down pure evil. And if somehow Assange is imprisoned while Hillary is able to steal the presidency in 2020 despite all of the dead bodies that follow her wherever she goes, Americans will have absolute proof that Our 'Republic' has fallen and that America, freedom, liberty, the US Constitution and our God-given rights out the door.

Julian Assange has been imprisoned in an embassy building for six years, unable to go outside for fear of being arrested. Hillary Clinton has been free to continue committing serious international crimes of corruption and campaign finance fraud, right out in public, with zero fear of being arrested or stopped because the entire judicial system treats her as someone is it above the law. Julian Assange dared to release truthful information that exposed the deep deception and electoral fraud taking place inside the DNC to make sure Hillary got the nomination. Hillary Clinton destroyed 30,000+ emails on her illegal server to make sure no one would ever find out how she betrayed America to seize power at any cost. If anyone should be indicted right now, it’s Hillary Clinton. Lock her up. And pardon Julian Assange in exchange for him sharing everything he has on the Clintons and the DNC.

UN Attacks Converging on 1st & 2nd Amendments

Globalists move to overstep US Constitution

David Knight | Infowars.com - November 19, 2018

The UN Migration Treaty has been rejected by the U.S., Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, and others are expected to follow. So the UN is now pushing for international law, criminalizing any country that disagrees with their open borders.

Merkel Deep-sixed Germany, Diversity Deep-sixed Western Civilization

November 20, 2018 by pcr3

This interesting collage shows that not all people of European descent are intimidated by the elite’s efforts to prevent peoples’ expression of opposition to unassimilable immigrants over-running their countries either seeking economic advantage or fleeing Washington’s wars and Washington’s interference in the internal affairs of other countries. The famous French novelist, Jean Raspail, notes that the novel he wrote in the early 1970s, The Camp of the Saints, could not be written today in France. It would be in violation of laws passed to prevent French citicizens from protesting the overrunning of their country by African and Islamic peoples who have nothing in common with the historic French people. Anyone opposed to the destruction of the French race, a destruction predicted by Raspail in his novel written almost 5 decades ago, is today regarded by law as a “white supremist” and a “nationalist” quilty of violating laws against speaking against diversity. https://youtu.be/DW7s9Qi72dk  The crazed French “diversity enforcers” are even intent on prosecuting Marine Le Pen, the leader of the opposition party, for opposing massive immigration of unassimilable peoples into France. She has been charged for posting photos of brutal killings by US supported terrorists. News in the form of violent images is considered to be “an incitement to violence” by the “far-right.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2018/03/02/french-far-right-

leader-marine-le-pen-charged-for-tweeting-gruesome-isis-images/?utm_term=.717ad2279a9  Throughout Europe the word “patriot” now designates a person who supports the destruction of their country’s ethnicity by non-white immigration. The meaning of patriot in the old sense, now means “nationalism,” “far-right” and “white supremacy.” It is the same in the US. If Trump goes down, the borders will be thrown open, just as in Raspail’s novel, The Camp of the Saints. The reigning view today is that people of European descent are so evil that they must be replaced by people of color. The traitorous leaders of Western countries are working to bring this about. It is the main goal of the EU and the US Democratic Party, which is now the political party of Identity Politics, a doctrine of hate that preaches that only people of European descent are guilty. And, except for Hungary, the haters of white people are succeeding throughout the Western world. UK Prime Minister May sold out the British people by pretending to exit the EU while in fact subjecting the British people to EU dominance.

Germany is no longer German. It is The Camp of the Saints. https://www.amazon.com/Camp-Saints-Jean-Raspail/dp/1881780074/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie

=UTF8&qid=1542412178&sr=1-1&keywords=The+Camp+of+the+Saints  The Anglo-American-Zionists have almost rid themselves of Germans. Germans barely exist. The extinction of the German race began with the mass rapes of German women by Russian and American troops as German military resistance collapsed in 1945. Watering down the DNA is one way ethnicities die. What remains of German DNA will now be watered down by the mass invasion of Germany, with the German government’s support, by Islamic peoples from the Middle East and Northern Africa. These “refugees” are the product of Washington’s wars supported by Merkel, who obviously hates Germany. Merkel has destroyed Europe as well. She advanced the erasure of European civilization and yet remains in power, fully supported by Washington and by Washington’s EU puppet. The remnant of the German people have been brainwashed with false guilt into irrelevance.

Clearly, there is distrust of the ruling elite: http://www.dutchanarchy.com/coudenhove-kalergi-plan-genocide-white-peoples-europe/  What happens to a country when the people no longer trust the leaders? Many have expressed concerns about the cultural and racial genocide of Western civilization. Wilmot Robertson expressed them in 1972 in The Dispossessed Majority. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-

keywords=The+Dispossessed+Majority  Evidence that these concerns are real is the vehemence with which they are shouted down with accusations of “racism,” “white supremacy.” The message white people are supposed to accept is: “Shut up white man, we have a right to take away your country.” How long will it be before politically unacceptable white Americans—“Trump deplorables”—long to be liberated by Russian or Chinese invasion? We have reached the point at which no white person in the US, Europe, UK, or Canada can trust their government not to sell them out in the interest of “diversity.”

Merkel Defies Trump, Backs Macron's Call For European Army

Two days after French president Emanuel Macron snubbed President Trump, slamming nationalism as the antithesis of patriotism during a closely watched speech with Trump sitting just a few feet away, and which prompted a flurry of provocative and taunting tweets by the US president demanding that Europe pay for its own defense (or else Paris would now be speaking German), Germany’s Angela Merkel set out her own vision of a more assertive European Union, one which aligned with that of Macron and included a European army. After spending the weekend commemorating the end of World War I in Paris alongside more than 60 global leaders and witnessed first hand the tensions between Trump and France’s Emmanuel Macron, the normally understated chancellor took an uncharacteristically bold stance as she addressed EU lawmakers in Strasbourg. In Paris, Merkel defended her world view against the U.S. president’s barbs as he sparred with Macron. And, as Bloomberg reports, she went a step further in the EU parliament on Tuesday, telling deputies they need to adapt to a world in which Europe’s traditional allies may no longer guarantee the continent’s security. “We should also work on the vision of one day creating a genuine European army,” Merkel said. “The times in which we could unconditionally rely on others are over.” While most europhile lawmakers applauded, the comments drew loud jeers from euroskeptic lawmakers at the margins of the chamber. Meanwhile, as reported earlier, on Tuesday Trump unleashed another torrent of tweets, grousing about the perceived slights from his weekend in Paris. At 6:50 a.m. in Washington, he tweeted another attack on the French leader, mocking the idea of a European army and implying that the French had needed the U.S. to rescue them from the Germans in both world wars.

Emmanuel Macron suggests building its own army to protect Europe against the U.S., China and Russia. But it was Germany in World Wars One & Two - How did that work out for France? They were starting to learn German in Paris before the U.S. came along. Pay for NATO or not!

Trump wasn't done and over the next few hours, the president sent out a series of further jibes, accusing Macron of stirring up controversy to distract from his poor approval rating, complained about French tariffs on U.S. wine and offered an explanation for pulling out of a visit to a military cemetery due to bad weather. In response, a senior aide to the French president said he was glad that Trump had taken the time to study some history. Former Belgium Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt gave Trump another history lesson on his own Twitter account.

What Trump doesn’t seem to realize is that without French money, the USA would not even exist as France financed the American revolution. They even gave you the Statue of Liberty to celebrate this!

Former Belgium Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt gave Trump another history lesson on his own Twitter account. According to Bloomberg, the French official said he thought the tweets were aimed at Trump’s domestic audience, noting that the two leaders speak several times a week and their relationship is fluid, even if it isn’t always easy. As for Merkel, the German Chancellor - well aware of the optics of German pushing for an army in light of what happened 100 years ago - insisted that the EU military wouldn’t be directed against NATO allies, but would be "a positive extension of NATO.” The German leader has been urging her European colleagues to build new structures that will enable them to stand up for themselves since last year, when Trump castigated NATO leaders in Brussels and withdrew from the Paris climate accord. Not everyone is on board: the U.K. government, which is negotiating its exit from the EU, won’t support the idea of an EU army, a spokeswoman said.

How Can We Give Thanks in All Circumstances?

Article by Jon Bloom Staff writer, desiringGod.org

Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (1 Thessalonians 5:18)

In a separate article, I described grumbling as the accent of hell and gratitude as the accent of heaven. But as many of us prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving, let’s take a longer look at gratitude. More specifically, how is it possible to obey 1 Thessalonians 5:18 and “give thanks in all circumstances,” especially if our circumstances are horrible? What fuels thanksgiving when life seems to be one discouragement, disappointment, disease, disaster, and death after another? There is only one way. And Jesus both is the way (John 14:6) and shows the way. Eucharisteo: Thanks in the Face of Horror The best place to see Jesus showing us the way is in the upper room where he “took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me’” (Luke 22:19). The Greek word for “thanks” in this verse is eucharisteo. And the best person I know to unpack this word is Ann Voskamp: The root word of eucharisteo is charis, meaning “grace.” Jesus took the bread and saw it as grace and gave thanks. He took the bread and knew it to be gift and gave thanks. Eucharisteo, thanksgiving, envelopes the Greek word for grace, charis. But it also holds its derivative, the Greek word chara, meaning “joy.” Charis. Grace. Eucharisteo. Thanksgiving. Chara. Joy. (Eucharisteo Conversation) Now, let’s think for a moment about what Jesus’s eucharisteo meant. Thank you, Father, that my body, symbolized by this bread, is about to be brutally broken and I am about to be (momentarily) damned by your wrath (Isaiah 53:10) so that you will receive supreme glory in being able to forgive undeserving sinners (Philippians 2:11) and I will share eternally full joy (John 15:11; Psalm 16:11) with hundreds of millions of forgiven sinners made righteous through my sacrifice (Isaiah 53:11). Jesus’s thanks was not based on his present circumstances. He was about to endure the worst possible horror. He felt thankful to the Father for the grace and glory that was coming because of the cross and this gave him joy. Eucharisteo.  Future Joy Fuels Your Thankful Endurance Jesus’s eucharisteo was fueled by his belief in future grace. That’s what the author of Hebrews meant when he wrote that, Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith . . . for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:2) Jesus’s eyes were on his future joy. He got through the cross by not focusing on the cross but on the promised joy that would result from it. That’s where God wants your eyes: on the future joy he has promised you. What You Have to Look Forward to And what is your future joy? The very best possible future you could ever imagine — if you will believe it. You will have the free gift of complete forgiveness for all your sins extending into forever (Romans 6:23). You will never have to merit your justification by keeping the law (Galatians 2:16). You will have all your real needs provided while on earth (Philippians 4:19). You will receive all the grace you need at all times so that you will abound in every good work God has for you (2 Corinthians 9:8). God will complete the good work he began in you (Philippians 1:6). You will be raised from the dead and never, ever die again (1 Corinthians 15:52–53). That means someday soon you will see Jesus, be with him (2 Corinthians 5:8), and be like him (1 John 3:2). In that day you will know for the first time full, unpolluted joy (Psalm 16:11). You will be completely free from all corruption (Romans 8:21). You will have God forever (1 Peter 3:18) as your exceeding joy (Psalm 43:4). And that’s just a small sampling! The joy set before you is the same joy Jesus had set before him, because you are an heir of the kingdom with him (Romans 8:17). Look to the Joy Set Before You So right now you have trouble. That’s okay. Jesus said that you would (John 16:33). And Jesus really understands (Hebrews 4:15). In fact, the trouble that you endure has a purpose: in it you are displaying the reality of Jesus to the world in a unique way. The kingdom of God is most clearly shown on earth when Christians gratefully suffer present trouble because they see a future weight of glory coming that makes everything this world throws at them as “light momentary afflictions” in comparison (2 Corinthians 4:17). So, how can you give thanks in all circumstances? There’s only one way: Jesus’s way. Look to the joy set before you. Look to the joy! If the future joy Jesus promises is real and you believe him, there is no circumstance that can steal your thanksgiving. May all your Thanksgiving celebrations be soaked in eucharisteo.

Forecasters warn Thanksgiving could be the coldest on record along the East Coast, as Arctic blast blows South

A high pressure system descending from the Arctic is set to make this Thanksgiving one of the coldest on record in some Northeast cities

The weather is expected to plunge into the low twenties which could cause a headache for revelers taking part in Thanksgiving parades and festivities

Snowfall expected in Boston and surrounding areas could lengthen the time that travelers spend on the road and at the airports

According to the National Weather Service, only three Thanksgivings have had high temperatures below 30 degrees

By Leah Mcdonald For Dailymail.com Published: 19:38 EST, 19 November 2018 | Updated: 09:17 EST, 20 November 2018

Another blast of cold air is expected to bring one of the coldest Thanksgivings on record for some Northeast cities. A strong area of high pressure from the Arctic Circle will descend southward across Canada and into the Northeast, sending temperatures plummeting toward levels more common on New Year's Day, not Thanksgiving Day. The weather is expected to plunge into the low twenties in Manhattan and could hit the mid teens in the coldest projected Thanksgiving on record since 1996, meteorologists told The New York Post. 'It’s going to be brutal out there', said Accuweather senior meteorologist Dave Dombek. 'If things stay as is, this will be the third-coldest Thanksgiving in New York history', with the mercury set to reach a low of 19 degrees in 1901. Tuesday is the busiest travel day for Thanksgiving in the Northeast, according to AAA, which says about 48.5 million people will drive this year. About 4.3 million travelers will get to their holiday destinations by plane, the agency noted. In the Northeast, snow could lengthen the time that travelers spend on the road and at the airports. The National Weather Service in Boston wrote: 'A weak wave of low pressure will bring light snow to the region [Monday] morning changing to rain except freezing rain in the Worcester Hills and east slopes of the Berkshires. ‘A stronger wave of low pressure will likely impact the area later tonight into Tuesday with accumulating snow across northern Massachusetts. ‘Rain may change to snow before ending Tuesday afternoon across Connecticut, Rhode Island and eastern Massachusetts’ Behind the snow, an Arctic blast sweeps into the Northeast late Wednesday, bringing record-cold wind chills in time for Thanksgiving. From Maine to Pennsylvania, temperatures could be lower than they’ve ever been on Thanksgiving, even in the years the holiday fell very late in the month. Early-morning lows drop to about 20 degrees from Philadelphia to New York City. In Upstate New York, temperatures at sunrise will be in the single digits, while Boston’s Thursday-morning low temperature will be about 15 degrees. According to the National Weather Service, only three Thanksgivings have had high temperatures below 30 degrees. The coldest Thanksgiving Day on record in New York City was November 28, 1901, when the high temperature was 26 degrees, which is also the forecast for Thursday. In the Midwest, a chance of light snow during the day and night on Tuesday shouldn’t be a travel day. But wintry-cold temperatures are flowing across the Great Lakes, which will generate snow for some of the areas off Lake Michigan, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario through Wednesday. Light snowfall is in the forecast for Northeast Ohio; Erie, and western Upstate New York into late Wednesday afternoon and evening. Thanksgiving should be dry for much, if not all, of the Midwest. High temperatures Thursday are in the 20s and 30s. In the West, the National Weather Service is advising drivers to plan extra time into their trips as a storm off the coast of California will delay travel starting Wednesday. After weeks of dry conditions under strong high pressure, a significant pattern shift will occur by Wednesday as weak to moderately strong weather system moves into the region,' the National Weather Service in Reno, Nevada wrote on Monday. ‘This means that [Monday] and Tuesday will be the best days for those with travel plans this week'. Snowy and windy conditions are likely over the Sierra passes above 7,500 feet starting Wednesday morning. The combination of snow and wind could reduce visibility significantly at high elevations. Rain is also possible in parts of Texas on Tuesday, the region’s busiest Thanksgiving travel day, according to AAA. Houston’s travelers tend to hit the road today between 2pm and 4pm and in Dallas, most air travel is scheduled Monday between 5pm and 7pm.  Meanwhile, the American Automobile Association has issued a warning holiday travel could be even more of a headache than usual this year as a record number of people hit the road and take to the skies. AAA has predicted that 54.3 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more from their homes this Thanksgiving, the highest number recorded in more than a dozen years and nearly a five percent higher than last year. Travel times in America's most congested cities including Boston, San Francisco and New York City could see delays of up to four hours on Tuesday and Wednesday. In most cities, the worst delays will occur between 5.30pm and 7pm on Tuesday.

Massive CDC cover-up under way as “polio-like” illness spreads

Monday, November 19, 2018 by: Ethan Huff

(Natural News) Children across the country are dying from what the mainstream media is describing as a “polio-like” illness, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is doing everything in its power to cover it all up and pretend like nothing is happening. At least two parents who have lost children to so-called acute flaccid myelitis (AFM), as it’s also called, say that the CDC is acting as though all is well, even as children are becoming paralyzed and losing their lives to the deadly disease. “I feel like they’re just sugar-coating this,” stated Katie Bustamante, whose six-year-old son Alex died back in May from the condition, during a recent interview panel with CNN. “It eliminates my trust in the CDC.” Bustamante and the four other women who spoke with CNN gave the CDC a grade of “F” for its handling of the outbreak thus far. Meanwhile, the CDC is blaming a “lag” in reporting on cases of AFM, and at the same time refusing to comment on any of the specific cases in which children have been harmed or killed as a result of the outbreak. “I think we want to catch up with the backlog,” stated Dr. Anne Schuchat, the principal deputy director of the CDC and 30-year agency veteran. “Even the past week we’ve expanded the number of disease detectives on the program.” Dr. Schuchat of course denied any wrongdoing on behalf of her agency, insisting that the CDC simply doesn’t understand “all that we need to about this disease and how to best diagnose it.” “I think it’s very challenging when your child has been through something quite traumatic to not even know what the prognosis is,” she added, ignoring the fact that her agency has been rather quiet in addressing this serious public health threat. Is acute flaccid myelitis caused by the polio vaccine aggressively pushed by the CDC? But there’s something else that Dr. Schuchat and the CDC aren’t telling these parents or the public about this AFM outbreak, and it involves the vaccine for polio that the CDC says every child needs to receive as part of the CDC’s official vaccination schedule. As we reported last year around this time, AFM could very well be a vaccine-caused illness – the consequence of children taking the polio vaccine pushed by the very same CDC that’s trying to pretend as though AFM isn’t all that big of a deal. Over the past several years, the mainstream media has taken notice that hundreds upon hundreds of children are becoming mysteriously paralyzed by the disease, which does, in fact, have a link to the polio virus found in polio vaccines. As it turns out, tests revealed that polio-vaccinated children had enterovirus D-68 in their bodies – enterovirus D-68 being a “cousin” of the polio virus that wreaked havoc throughout the earlier part of the 20th century.

Research published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) admits that, at the very least, a vaccine link to AFM can’t be completely ruled out, despite how the pro-vaccine lobby tries to convince everyone that vaccines are 100 percent safe and effective at all times. “It is taboo to suggest a role for vaccines, but some old-timers remember ‘provocation poliomyelitis’ or ‘provocation paralysis,'” this study states.“This is paralytic polio following intramuscular injections, typically with vaccines … If a polio-like virus is circulating in the U.S., the possibility of its provocation by one or more vaccines has to be considered.” For more news on vaccines and how they’re not as safe or effective as many health authorities claim, be sure to check out Vaccines.news.

Fears grow of a swine fever epidemic in China

Pig industry experts warn of the dangers of the disease spreading across the region and even to the US

By Chris Taylor @chrisvtaylor November 15, 2018 11:30 AM (UTC+8)

Fears are growing that the outbreak of African swine fever in China could turn into an epidemic, infecting pigs across the region and even in the United States. In a report by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific, concerns have been expressed about the “virulent strain” of the “virus.” “[There is a] major threat to the swine industry in China and to the livelihoods of small-scale farmers and others along the value chain,” the study stated, “… because pork is produced and consumed by so many Asian countries, particularly in East and Southeast Asia, the introduction of the virus to other countries of the region is a near certainty.” To underline how serious the situation is, the report added that “there is no vaccine and no cure for the disease.” “In its most virulent strain, it is 100% fatal to infected pigs,” the report said. “However, unlike swine flu, ASF [African swine fever] poses no direct health threat to humans.” In response, Chinese state media has continued to report that “swine fever is under control,” even though global pork-industry insiders, analysts and scientists consider that highly unlikely. “I remain very skeptical of any notion that China has this under control,” Arlan Suderman, the chief commodities economist at INTL FCStone Financial, said in an email to Asia Times. “It doesn’t fit with the continued rise in cases over a broad area. There are too many ways in which this long-living virus can survive in the environment to declare it under control this soon.” Last month, China’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs announced that it was banning feeding pigs with kitchen waste – otherwise known as swill. The ministry blamed the widespread practice as being behind 57 reported outbreaks of the disease. It also announced that it was bringing in a registration system for vehicles that transport live hogs and poultry – often over distances beyond 2,000 kilometers, according to a Reuters report. But statements like these have done little to alleviate anxieties about the spread of ASF beyond China’s borders into neighboring countries and eventually into the United States. Christine McCracken, the executive director of Animal Protein at Rabobank, said in an interview with Successful Farming, an industry magazine, that China would struggle to contain the outbreak. “It all comes down to China,” she added. “Given the lack of biosecurity, the number of pigs in the country, and the fact that half are backyard pigs, there’s almost no way they can get ASF under control. McCracken then warned of the consequence of a potential pig virus epidemic. “How are they going to feed their people? Because if they don’t feed their people, they’ve got a massive political issue. Food insecurity is not a good recipe for future political aspirations,” she said. China has at least 433 million pigs, according to Statista, which is more than half of the world’s hog population, and is a crucial part of the human food chain in the world’s second-largest economy. In a Twitter broadcast last week, commodities economist Suderman said: “Pork is the topmost driver of food inflation in China … [and] African Swine Fever is about as bad as it gets for hog diseases. This is a country that has around 55% of the world’s hogs in it, has the disease and is nowhere close to controlling it.” “The US pork industry is quite worried about the disease reaching here. They are no longer talking about ‘if’ the disease will come, but rather ‘how long can we keep it out,’ hoping to buy time for vaccine development,” he added. Analysts believe the likeliest mode of transmission for ASF to the US would be via hog feed. American pig farmers have increased safety procedures by leaving animal-feed ingredients imported from China in storage. A report by PLOS One, a peer-reviewed open-access scientific journal published by the Public Library of Science in the US, called ASF “a highly contagious pathogen that threatens the swine industry worldwide.” The study is detailed and complex, involving tests on the survival rates of the virus in trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific shipments of livestock feed. But the results showed that contaminated feed could survive during shipping and infect pigs in the US. Economically, the cost of an outbreak in the world’s largest economy would be US$16.5 billion during the first year, the PLOS One report stated. “This is a very serious disease that would have devastating economic consequences in the United States,” Greg Ibach, the US Department of Agriculture’s Under Secretary for marketing and regulatory programs, told Reuters. Journey by stealth Still, the ASFV story is an extraordinary tale of an epic journey by stealth that began where it was first reported in 1909 in Sub-Saharan Africa. Writing in a subscriber newsletter called ProMED-mail, which is issued by the International Society for Infectious Diseases, Larry Madoff, the editor said: “Highly robust … the virus can persist in uncooked pork for weeks whether it is fresh, frozen, or dried and salted, and can stay viable in pig carcasses for months.” A report by Wageningen University and Research in The Netherlands went on to trace how the virus spread from Africa in 1957 to Portugal. Outbreaks continued to flare up on the Iberian Peninsula until the late 1990s before being eradicated in all but one viral outpost, Sardinia. Then in 2007, ASF appeared in Georgia in the Caucasus. This was the beginning of a steady march across borders. It spread next to Abkhazia and Armenia, and later in the same year it was discovered in wild boars in Chechnya, Russia. By 2008, it had traveled 1,000 km to Azerbaijan, North Ossetia. Finally, the virus became a serious contender as a global threat to the food chain when in August 2018, an outbreak was reported in the northeastern province of Liaoning in China. How it spread is still being investigated but roaming wild boars along the Sino-Russian border could have been the carriers of the virus. After all, it stretches for 4,209.3 km. Yet it could also have been transmitted through pork imports from an affected European Union country, which is why the jury is still out. Out of control As Madoff said in his ProMED alert: “Since then, there have been 57 outbreaks of ASF affecting 14 Chinese provinces and municipalities – some separated by thousands of kilometers. The speed at which the disease has spread and the distances covered indicate that live animals are being transported long distances or that shipments of pork products are spreading the disease. More than 210,000 animals have been killed to try to prevent an epidemic.” Commodities analyst Suderman concurred with Madoff’s assessment, telling Asia Times in an email that according to the latest report he had seen “China had ‘eliminated’ approximate 200,000 pigs – one-tenth of the countrywide population.” He added: “That number may be higher, we don’t know, that’s just what’s being officially reported.” John Deen, a distinguished global professor in the Department of Veterinary Population Medicine, which is part of the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Minnesota, told Asia Times that this has become a “complicated issue” and that it was “being addressed with a limited set of resources.” This is especially true when “compared with pandemics in human populations,” he added. But he said on the subject of China’s pig problem: “Yes, there are farms that have good biosecurity, but most pigs are reared under circumstances where the likelihood of infection is too great, as they are exposed to risks such as contaminated food, trucks and premises. “In the pig world, this is likely to be the top story of 2019 as it appears to be changing the dynamics of pig production,” he added. Yet Deen pointed out that the threat to pig production and global supplies of pork were far less due to the deaths of infected hogs than due to the large-scale culling efforts to prevent ASF’s spread. “The real economic damage is from restrictions in trade,” he said. “China is a net importer, but trade has been restricted between provinces, causing the price of pigs to plummet in the ‘haves’ and, conversely, prices to rise in the ‘have-nots’. The damage would even be greater if ASF enters an exporting country such as the US.” Meanwhile, the disease continues its insidious infiltration of China’s pig population because “all of the backyard hog farms that are so difficult for the government to control,” he added. Another area of concern is that hog production is concentrated in China’s northeast and transported across the country, increasing contagion risks. “China shut down transportation of hogs once it learned of the problem, but it was too late by that point,” Suderman said. “The disease was rapidly spreading.” International policymakers Many industry insiders and international policymakers also worry the virus’ march may now be unstoppable, and that the next points of infection are likely to be China’s neighbors. Speaking at a three-day emergency meeting organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Bangkok in September, Wantanee Kalpravidh, Regional Manager of the FAO Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Diseases (ECTAD) in Asia, said: “It’s critical that this region be ready for the very real possibility that ASF could jump the border into other.” To combat this, Deen, of the University of Minnesota, is calling for greater funding to tackle the problem. “Attempts to lock down the ASF virus are likely to be hampered due to lack of funding for controlling epizootic diseases, which do not affect human beings,” he said. “[We have all seen] the response and investment in human pandemics such as SARS,” he continued. “We continue to see investment in the prevention of pandemics through programs such as the Global Health Security Agenda. Livestock disease control gains little investment, and frankly, most of that investment occurs for those diseases that are zoonotic, affecting both animals and humans. “Investment in disease control in livestock is limited, with a much lower capacity to diagnose and control diseases in these populations,” Deen added. The tragic irony of this allocation of resources for disease control is that it might, eventually, have as much impact on a vital protein-source in the food chain for billions of people as a human epidemic could.

Report: Trump to decide on Deal of the Century release this week

President Trump reportedly planning to meet with advisers, Ambassador Friedman to decide on date for release of Mideast peace plan.

David Rosenberg, 18/11/18 22:28

President Donald Trump is set to decide this week when the administration will begin the rollout of the much anticipated Middle East peace plan. Dubbed the ‘Deal of the Century’ by the president, the plan will include a framework for final status talks ultimately leading to an agreement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. According to a report Sunday evening by Channel 10 which cited senior American officials, Trump is scheduled to meet with senior administration officials this week to settle on a date for the plan’s release. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, who flew back to Washington recently to take part in the meeting, are among the senior administration members who will sit down with the president to plan out the ‘Deal of the Century’ rollout. National Security Advisor John Bolton, senior White House adviser Jared Kushner, and special White House envoy Jason Greenblatt are also expected to take part in the meeting with the president.  President Trump is reportedly anxious to unveil the plan as soon as possible, and is still eyeing a December 2018 release. Senior officials within the Trump administration, however, advised the president to delay the peace plan’s rollout, especially if Israel holds early elections. Ambassador David Friedman reportedly advised against releasing the peace plan during the Israeli election season, saying turning the election for the 21st Knesset into a referendum on the peace deal would be a mistake. The ongoing political turmoil in Israel and the possibility of early elections are said to be a key consideration in the timing of the peace plan’s release. Earlier on Sunday, a senior Israeli official told Arutz Sheva that the Israeli government had urged the US to push off the release of the peace plan in the event that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s ruling coalition collapses and new elections are called. “The Americans understand very well the situation in Israel, and they know that it wouldn’t be right to release a peace plan in the middle of an election season, and could even be interpreted as interference in Israeli domestic affairs,” the official told Arutz Sheva. “The messages we’ve gotten from the other side [the White House] suggest a clear understanding of the situation and willingness to push off the release of the peace plan, if there early elections, until after a new government is formed.”

Wake Up!

By Hal Lindsey

People often complain that Bible prophecy is too complicated. Why can’t it be simple? They want a single chapter or verse that explains it all. Why isn’t there a John 3:16 of prophecy? John 14:3 comes close. It says, “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” (NASB) Jesus is the primary message of the Bible. He is also the primary message of prophecy. If you know Jesus personally, you have received the main message of God’s word. But to skip or dismiss anything further would be insulting to Him. Can you imagine a bride never reading letters from her groom? “No need,” she says glibly, “we’re already engaged.” No. She wants to know everything about him — especially his thoughts toward her. So, don’t just say, “I’m saved and that’s enough for me,” or “I know Jesus will come again, and that’s all I need to know.” There’s more! All of God’s word, including prophecy, holds treasures, insights, empowerment, and joy. And it’s all there — waiting for you right now. So, dig in! C. S. Lewis wrote in Mere Christianity, “It is no good asking for a simple religion. After all, real things are not simple. They look simple, but they are not. The table I am sitting at looks simple: but ask a scientist to tell you what it is really made of — all about the atoms and how the light waves rebound from them and hit my eye and what they do to the optic nerve and what it does to my brain — and, of course, you find that what we call ‘seeing a table’ lands you in mysteries and complications which you can hardly get to the end of.” Don’t be angry with God because His word is not simple. Realize that, like looking at a table, it is both simple and complex. A surface understanding is possible, but endless wonders wait just beyond that surface. One of the Bible’s amazing features is that it can simultaneously communicate to people of vastly different IQs and levels of education. It communicates with people from different cultures, different centuries, different races, and different levels of interest. The Bible scholar spends a lifetime “rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15 NKJV) A small child might hear a verse and know in a moment what the professional theologian spends months confirming. But that does not diminish the work of the scholar. Nor does it mean that the child has gained it all and should stop studying. When you receive redemption in Jesus, you have received the most important message in God’s word. But don’t stop. Keep learning. Work to increase your understanding. The Author Himself has promised to help you, but anything more than a child’s understanding of God and His word, will often require real effort. Proverbs 25:2 says, “It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.” He wants us to dig deep into His word — to study it, and to learn. And a major feature of His word is prophecy — something we especially need right now. Jesus said to stay on the lookout for His coming. He said, “But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. Take heed, keep on the alert; for you do not know when the appointed time is.” (Mark 13:32-33 NASB) The words “be alert” are a translation of the Greek word, “agrupneo.” It literally means “be constantly awake.” Jesus is not talking about skipping your eight hours of sleep every night. He means we are to be ever watchful for His return. To be alert includes having the ability to know and recognize the signs of the times. So, study prophecy. It is a fantastic tool for evangelism — today more than ever. Everyone you talk to these days is uneasy. People sense that something huge and terrible waits just beyond the horizon. In many areas of modern life, we seem to be reaching limits beyond which there is nothing but chaos. The proliferation of nuclear weapons and ICBMs is just one example of a world drenched in gasoline and playing with matches. North Korea and Pakistan are nuclear powers. Iran either is, or soon will be. North Korea and Iran are led by the kind of people who would be all too willing to spark a global nuclear holocaust. Pakistan could be led by such people in the near future. And now nuclear ambitions have spread across the Middle East. Saudi Arabia recently made it clear that it is in the market for nukes. Turkey obviously wants them, as well as several Asian and African nations. As these weapons spread, the probability of their use is slowly turning into an inevitability. People don’t want to think about these things, but they know them. The fear lingers like a dark cloud over all their thinking. They read about brilliant men like Elon Musk and the recently deceased Stephen Hawking, warning of an “A.I. apocalypse.” They worry about their children. They fear the future. As a result, alcohol and drug use have reached epidemic proportions. People are looking for escape. Through the millennia, many have pretended to know the future. But only one prophetic book can be fully trusted, and that’s the Bible. Previously-fulfilled prophecy proves its authenticity. Right now, the world is taking the shape that the Bible predicts for the end of this age. And, while the world is headed for some difficult days, these things also mean that Jesus is coming soon! That’s good news! We need to spread that word far and near. To do that effectively, we need to know what the Bible teaches about Bible prophecy. We need to make it a major part of our study and understanding of God’s word. We also need it for our own comfort in troubled times. 1 Thessalonians 4 ends by talking about the Rapture. Finally, it says, “Thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.” (1 Thessalonians 4:17-18 NASB) Maranatha!

Five Reasons Churches Should Teach Bible Prophecy

By Hal Lindsey

My name has been associated with the teaching of Bible prophecy for a long time. But I also understand the need for balance in the pulpit. The Bible addresses a whole range of issues that are pertinent to our lives. All those things need to be taught. When I say churches should teach Bible prophecy, I am not saying that every pastor has to specialize in it. But I am saying it needs to be included in his teaching. Here are some reasons why.

1 — Prophecy teaching provides balance. We say we want balanced teaching. Somewhere between one-fourth and one-third of the Bible deals with prophecy. How can we be balanced if we leave out such a large and integral portion of scripture?

2 — Prophecy is God’s stamp of authenticity. Truth is God’s signature. The fulfillment of prophecy is His chosen way of authenticating His word. We see it in Deuteronomy 18:22 where the legitimacy of a prophet is proven by whether or not his prophecies come true.

In Isaiah 41:21-23 God shows the foolishness of idol worship by challenging idols to foretell the future. The New Living Translation says, “‘Present the case for your idols,’ says the Lord. ‘Let them show what they can do,’ says the King of Israel. ‘Let them try to tell us what happened long ago so that we may consider the evidence. Or let them tell us what the future holds, so we can know what's going to happen. Yes, tell us what will occur in the days ahead. Then we will know you are gods.’” God alone tells us “what will occur in the days ahead.” Since He’s the only One who knows the future, prophecy proves that only He could have inspired the Bible.

3 — Prophecy aids evangelism. We’re all intrigued by the future. In that way, prophecy draws the curious. But it’s not like a carnival sideshow. Once they begin to seriously consider prophecy, they quickly see the truth and relevance of God’s word to all areas of life. When people see ancient prophecies fulfilled in the world around them, it provides overwhelming evidence that they can and should trust God with their lives. With present-day fulfillment of end times prophecy, what seemed like an old book written by ancient primitives comes to life as God’s word for us today!

4 — Prophecy motivates us toward right living. 2 Timothy 4:8 speaks of “all who have loved His appearing.” I have no statistics on this, but I have a lot of experience working with Christians through the years. From that experience I can tell you that those “who have loved His appearing,” tend to live their lives with an eternal perspective. That perspective causes them to invest their time, money, and attention in things that matter — things of eternal value.

5 — Jesus taught prophecy. The New Testament teaches us that Jesus is to be our example. (John 13:14-15, Mark 10:43-45, 2 Corinthians 8:8-9, Philippians 2:5) And Jesus taught prophecy. He used Old Testament prophecy to authenticate Himself as the Messiah. He used prophecy to explain that His coming would be in two parts. He foretold events of the end times. He is our example. He taught prophecy. We should, too.

Jesus Is Coming Soon!

by Hal Lindsey

For more than fifty years, I have lived in the urgent expectation of Jesus’ return. Fifty years is a long time. Do I regret it? Was I wrong? No and no! In Luke 12:37, Jesus said, “Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching.” (NKJV) As followers of Christ, we are to live in a state of watchfulness. A thousand years ago, there were Christians living in expectation of His coming. They were not foolish to do so. They were obedient. Titus 2:13 directs us to be “looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.” (NKJV) Those Christians from previous generations who lived in expectancy of Christ’s return tended also to be those who lived closest to Him. They were the ones most interested in His word, in sharing the Gospel, helping the poor, and caring for the sick. If you’re always on the lookout for Christ’s return, someone will inevitably remind you that no one knows the day nor the hour. But they’re missing the point. It’s precisely because we do not know the day nor hour of His return that we are to be watchful. In Matthew 24:42, Jesus said, “Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.” (NKJV) For two thousand years, people have been watching. That sounds like a long time, but remember this. God gave the first promise of His first coming to Adam and Eve. It took thousands of years, but God kept His word and Jesus came. By human standards, the Lord may sometimes seem slow. But He has a reason for that. 2 Peter 3:9-10 says, “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come.” (NKJV) When skeptics complain about God allowing evil and pain in the world, remember that “the Lord is not slack.” He will one day stop all the child molesters, terrorists, and other criminals. And He will hold them to account. But He won’t just stop the evil you don’t like. He will stop all evil. He will hold everyone to account. Why does he wait? Because He “is longsuffering toward us.” He’s “not willing that any should perish.” He wants everyone to “come to repentance” — turn to Him and be saved. For now, love and concern compel Him to wait. But He will not wait forever. Earlier in the same chapter, Peter wrote, “Knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, ‘Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.’” (2 Peter 3:3-4 NKJV) I’m convinced that these are the last days, and can assure you that scoffers have come. “I’ve been hearing this all my life!” … “You’ve been saying this for fifty years!” Yes, and I will keep on saying it because it’s still true. There are no signs yet to be fulfilled before the rapture. But signs of the Second Coming are everywhere. Since the rapture comes before the Second Coming, the rapture has to be exceedingly close! The big thing that makes our time different from any other is the existence of Israel as a nation, and the Jews having control of Jerusalem. But there are other things unique to our time, as well. For instance, before now the world did not have the technology needed for the Antichrist to control commerce as completely as the Bible foretells. There’s another sign unique to today. Jesus is coming soon . . . because He must! In dozens of areas, human civilization is hurtling headlong toward destruction. Look at just one — machines with artificial intelligence. Scientists like Stephen Hawking warn of such machines taking over the world, destroying the human race in the process. Far out? Even longtime proponents of artificial intelligence have now joined in the warnings. Air Force General Paul Selva, the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the U.S. Defense Department, recently warned about “autonomous weapons systems” similar to the title character in the movie, “The Terminator” — and just as dangerous. General Selva sees weapons that are not under direct human control as a menace to mankind. And, like self-driving cars, they’re just around the corner. Then there’s nuclear proliferation. Some people take comfort from the fact that no nuclear weapons have been used in combat since 1945. But that’s like taking comfort from the fact that you’ve been playing Russian roulette for an hour and no shots have been fired. Just keep playing, and the odds will catch up to you. During the Cold War, Carl Sagan, wrote, “The nuclear arms race is like two sworn enemies standing waist deep in gasoline, one with three matches, the other with five.” Except now, a madman in Korea also holds a match. The nation of Iran, run by religious fanatics who see it as their job to create an apocalypse, also have, or will soon have, a match in their hands. Next door neighbor enemies, India and Pakistan, both have nukes. Russia has more than anybody, and no one knows if their leader is crazy or not. But don’t be afraid. Things are shaping up as God said they would. Just be sure you have invited Jesus to save you. Receive the pardon purchased for you when He died on the cross. He will instantly give you a new heart with new desires. Ask Him to empower you with His Holy Spirit. Then remember to thank Him for all these things. In His power, you will begin to live a life that will draw others to Him as well.

Last Days Warnings

By Hal Lindsey

As the world reels under the impact of the latest Middle East crisis, many are discovering that the events are fitting into a larger pattern of precisely predicted events. The pattern is to be found woven through the Hebrew prophets from Moses to Jesus Christ and John the Apostle. The prophecies were made during a period of from 3500 to 1900 years ago. Throughout these predictions, it’s clear that the events are to lead to a final seven-year period of world catastrophe. This period will climax with a global war of such magnitude that only the personal, visible return of Jesus Christ to this planet will prevent man from self-annihilation. THINGS WE ARE SEEING Listed below are 20 pieces of this pattern which are unmistakably coming together simultaneously for the first time in history.

The return of the dispersed Jews to Israel to become a nation again in 1948.

The Jews’ recapture of the Old City of Jerusalem in the 1967 Arab-Israeli War.

The rise of Russia as a powerful nation and enemy of Israel.

The Arab confederation against the new State of Israel.

The rise of a military power in the Orient that can field an army of 200 million soldiers. (Red China alone boasts that she has this number of troops!)

The revival of the Old Roman Empire in the form of a ten-nation confederacy. (I believe the European Common Market is ultimately going to be this power.)

The revival of the dark occultic practices of ancient Babylon.

The unprecedented turn to drugs.

The increase of international revolution.

The increase of wars.

The increase of earthquakes.

The increase of famines through the population explosion.

The coming of plagues.

The increase of famines through the population explosion.

The coming of plagues.

The increase of pollution.

The departure of many Christian churches from the historic truth of Christianity.

The move toward a one-world religion.

The move toward a one-world government.

The decline of the United States as a major world power.

The increase in lawlessness.

The decline of the family unit.

THINGS TO WATCH The Arabs will continue to bring greater pressure upon the Western nations to support their demands against Israel. They will do so through the continued restriction of oil without which the industrial nations cannot survive. They may begin to use their vast financial power to seriously threaten the economy of the United States as well. It is doubtful that Fort Knox could back up the dollars they hold, if they demanded gold for them. The United States will have some severe economic shocks from the European Common Market and the Arab oil squeeze. It will continue its decline as a major power both by this and internal moral decadence. The European Common Market will begin to emerge as the greatest economic power in history. Israel will continue to increasingly become the Western world’s dilemma. The Middle East will continue to be the most dangerous threat to world peace in history. The prophets clearly say that the spark that sets off Armageddon will be struck by the invasion of Israel by the Egyptian-led Arabs and the Russians. Jesus predicted these days we’re living in when He said concerning the prophetic signs, “When you see all these things, know He is at the door ready to return.” Then He said, “This generation will not pass away until all is fulfilled.” My opinion is that, because we are seeing all these signs fitting into the predicted pattern, we are the generation, which will see the culmination of history, as we know it, and the return of Christ. Who knows, perhaps this will be the year of Christ’s sudden and mysterious coming to snatch out all those who believe in Him.

11-Year-Old ‘Trailblazing’ Child Drag Queen Promoted on Good Morning America

Michael Foust | ChristianHeadlines.com Contributor | Monday, November 19, 2018

ABC’s Good Morning America celebrated an 11-year-old drag queen as a trailblazer this month, although many viewers pushed back and said the show had crossed the line in sexualizing children. Host Michael Strahan introduced a video of Desmond Napoles -- also known as “Desmond Is Amazing” -- by saying the child was “inspiring to many” and was “trailblazing” a path for other children. Strahan also called it an “amazing story.” Moments later, after the video, the boy strutted down a runway toward the Good Morning America set, wearing a blonde wig and a yellow and white dress. In the video, Napoles said his mom doesn’t let him drink caffeine but that she is proud of his drag queen sidelife. “I love to put on makeup, dresses and wigs and of course jewelry,” he said. “I feel very happy to have a mom that accepts me.” His mom, Wendylou Napoles, then said, “It really touches me deeply that there are other children out there that he’s reaching and they’re listening to him and he’s influencing them to be themselves.Napoles performs throughout New York City as a drag queen. He wore women’s clothes and marched at a gay pride event at age 8. “I love doing drag because it makes me feel amazing and self-expressive,he told Good Morning America. “My one big message would be … be yourself always.” Adult drag queens then entered the set to thank him and to give him advice. The audience applauded his performance, but plenty of viewers were appalled. The most popular comments under Good Morning America’s YouTube video were critical. “‘My mom doesn't like me drinking caffeine.’ However, his mom doesn't care that she is sexualizing her very young child,” one comment read. Another read, “Welcome to 2018 where we sexualize children. What a time to be alive.” Still, another read, “He's just a little boy, call it whatever you like, you know he's being used as eye candy for incredibly sick and twisted people, God forgive us all for allowing this …” As of Nov. 18, the video had received four times as many “thumbs down” as “thumbs up.” Michael Foust is a freelance writer.

Abbas rejected billions of dollars in return for concessions on Jerusalem

"President Abbas told them: All the billions of dollars in the world will not make me give up one inch of the soil of Jerusalem."

By Khaled Abu Toameh November 19, 2018 19:42

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas turned down an offer of billions of dollars in return for making concessions on Jerusalem and accepting the city as the united capital of Israel, Mahmoud Habbash, a senior adviser to the PA president, said on Monday. “President Abbas was offered billions of dollars to just say that we are prepared to reach understandings on Jerusalem so that it would become the united capital of Israel,” Habbash said in a speech during a ceremony marking the Prophet Mohammed’s birthday. “President Abbas told them: All the billions of dollars in the world will not make me give up one inch of the soil of Jerusalem.” Habbash, who serves as Abbas’s adviser on religious affairs, did not say who made the purported offer to the PA president. The adviser delivered his speech on behalf of Abbas during a celebration in the PA Mukata presidential compound marking the Prophet Mohammed’s birthday. The ceremony was attended by Abbas and several senior PA officials. “We’re not slaves to the dollar or solar,” Habbash said – a reference to the recent Qatari decision to fund fuel for the power plant in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip. He was also referring to the recent delivery of a $15 million Qatari cash grant to the Gaza Strip. The PA leadership has expressed strong reservations about the Qatari initiative, saying it will embolden Hamas and “consolidate” the split between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.Jerusalem has been sold for $15 million,” he said in an implicit attack on Hamas. “The blood of the [Palestinian] martyrs has been sold for $15 million.” The PA official again repeated the Palestinian leadership’s vehement opposition to US President Donald Trump’s yet-to-be-unveiled plan for peace in the Middle East, which is also known as the “deal of the century.” He called the unseen plan a “lie” and the “slap of the century.” Abbas, he noted, was not the only Arab to reject Trump’s upcoming plan. “Some have claimed that the Arabs and Muslims have abandoned and sold Palestine,” he said. “They also claimed that the Arabs and Muslims have abandoned the Palestinians and the Palestinian leadership, and that Israel was penetrating the Arab nation. They also claimed that the US administration was now in control of the Arabs, specifically Saudi Arabia.” Habbash pointed out that Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Arab and Islamic countries have rejected Trump’s upcoming peace plan. “This stance came as a blow to those who are promoting the deal of the century,” he added. “It’s also a blow to those who are behind the deal of the century.” He was referring to the April 2018 Arab League Summit in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, where Saudi King Salman bin Abdel Aziz criticized Trump’s decision to transfer the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. At the summit, the Arab leaders also opposed Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, and warned against taking measures that would change the city’s legal and political status. Habbash quoted Abbas as saying that no Muslim, Christian or Arab would ever give up an inch of Jerusalem. The PA Minister for Waqf Affairs, Yousef Edais, said in a speech at the ceremony that anyone who does not share the view that Jerusalem is the eternal capital of the “State of Palestine can go to the dustbin of history.”

Defensive Handgun Ammunition – the Crush Factor

When it comes to personal defense, it’s very hard to argue with a handgun being the best choice. Often the mere sight of a handgun will send a potential assailant fleeing simply because the bad guy wants an easy victim, not someone who is going to fight back. I actually know this from personal experience.  Once upon a time In Louisville, KY in the early 1990’s there was a series of assaults on lone white people perpetrated by black gang members. The attacks, widely covered by local news and dubbed “wilding sprees”, were being committed by a gang of 4 black “men” aged approximately 19-25 yrs old. Their MO was to drive around until they found a white person alone in a desolate area, then they got out and beat them. I was nearly a victim of this when I was accosted by a carload of 4 people fitting that description in a dark parking lot late one cold winter night while I was in a phone booth (in the early ’90s cell phones were for the rich). They pulled up to me and opened the doors of their 4 door car and so blocked me inside the booth. They were smiling as they got out of the car as if they were about to have some fun, (so they thought). I’ve got something in my pocket for you I smiled back as I went for my Star 30M 9mm pistol from inside my leather coat. The sight of a pistol coming from under my jacket was all it took to send them diving for their car and burning rubber as they drove off with much haste.  Only later did I learn just how lucky I/they were. The four matched perfectly pictures I saw on the news a couple of weeks later as being the perpetrators of senseless, violent, and apparently racially motivated attacks on lone, seemingly helpless white victims. As it turns out, this was apparently a gang initiation rite. They were all sent to prison for their crimes against their unarmed victims.  The hammer and the nail While the mere sight of a handgun alone saved me from potential harm that night, it alone is not the tool of self-defense. Just as a hammer cannot serve its purpose without nails, a handgun cannot serve its purpose without ammunition. And just like using the right nail for the job, you must use the right ammunition for the job. The job here is self-defense, so use defense ammo. FMJ (full metal jacket) ammunition while used by our military and other NATO militaries around the world is not the ideal ammunition for self-defense. This type of ammo is used by the military in order to be in compliance with the Hague Convention of 1899 which states in part: “(IV,3): Declaration concerning the Prohibition of the Use of Bullets which can Easily Expand or Change their Form inside the Human Body such as Bullets with a Hard Covering which does not Completely Cover the Core, or containing Indentations”. The last part of that statement is referring to the soft point and hollow point ammunition, which are both illegal to use in war under this document. So, in other words, no hollow points, soft points, or ballistic tips are allowed to be used in war. Although one particularly sneaky military (I won’t say Russia…but it’s Russia) uses FMJ hollow TIP ammunition. This is a completely enclosed FMJ projectile but the nose of the projectile has no lead. Yaw This allows the projectile in effect to bend when it hits the body and therefore yaw (yaw means to rotate or flip) inside the body and so cause a much larger wound cavity as it passes through the body sideways. Wound the enemy, not kill them? The reason for this is that, believe it or not, the intention in wartime is to wound and maim the enemy, not kill them. The pretense behind this ludicrous ideology is that it takes 2 soldiers to care for one injured soldier and so if you hit one you disable three. It costs more money to care for wounded soldiers than to stick them in a bag, so it slows or cripples a government that way as well. That may be well and good for signers of the treaty but I didn’t sign it, did you? Similar to Morphine: The Best Natural Painkiller that Grows in Your Backyard Wild Lettuce is also Known as Opium Lettuce. For a good reason. While it doesn’t contain any opiates, it has similar side effects when used – it acts directly on the central nervous system (CNS) to lessen the feeling of pain, just like morphine.

I didn’t sign your treaty FMJ ammunition is just fine for the target range, it’s plentiful and cheap. But if you ever need to stop an assailant, a blue-helmeted shmoe, or any other domestic or foreign threat, the way this is achieved is by inducing rapid loss of blood pressure. The hollow point The best method of effecting a rapid loss of blood pressure is to use an expanding projectile, most commonly known as the hollow point, and placing accurate shots into the vital organ area of your target. Examples of hollow point ammunition can be seen in the picture here: Notice the “mushroom” effect from the expansion of the projectile. This expansion allows for more tissue damage, and the amount of tissue damage is what is known as the “crush factor”. What is the crush factor? When a projectile enters the human body, it strikes flesh and bone. A projectile of sufficient size and speed will shatter the bone, causing great damage. When the projectile passes through the soft flesh of muscles and organs, it creates a series of two wound cavities, the first is known as a temporary wound cavity, and the second is the permanent wound cavity. The permanent wound cavity is caused by the destruction of tissue. The amount of destroyed tissue is the crush factor of wound ballistics. Don’t worry, it’s only temporary The temporary wound cavity is the area of flesh that opens (a hole) that is created by the energy expended by the projectile. For the sake of simplicity, let’s say that mass X velocity = energy. Point being, a moving object will displace material, but the material will return to that space after the object passes. Just like when you run you push a hole through the air but the air returns behind you. Temporary wound cavitation Another, more visible example of this could be to think about if you punch into the water. The water moves out of the way but comes back, that’s the temporary cavity. The temporary wound cavity from a handgun projectile could be 2 or 3 inches in diameter for a split second but then closes back for the most part after the bullet has passed. For example, a 230gr (grain) bullet moving at 900 fps (feet per second) will create a larger temporary cavity than a 115gr bullet moving at 900 fps, but a 62gr bullet moving at 3200fps will create a larger temporary cavity than that 230gr bullet moving 900fps. See how that works? So the heavier and faster a bullet is the larger the temporary cavity. Tissue damage Part of tissue damage can be caused by the temporary cavity by the tearing of the tissue when it is stretched. This is unlikely to be caused by the amount of energy expended by handgun projectiles but is a consideration with rifle projectiles. Although this torn tissue is damaged, it is still there and so is not relevant when considering crush factor. Just for fun here’s a video of FMJ, SP, and, HP 7.62×39 ammo being tested: Oops, that’s not going away The permanent wound cavity is the hole that remains after the temporary cavity closes. This permanent wound cavity is left behind after the projectile passes through because the tissue is destroyed, or crushed. The amount of destroyed, or crushed tissue, is called the crush factor. “Count” on it, or, don’t be afraid all I want is your blood…on the ground  The permanent cavity is the one that counts. I have performed my own ballistics testing, and I have read for uncounted hours on the subject, and there seems to be no lack of information on terminal wound ballistics. Permanent wound cavity The basics play out like this; when a projectile strikes flesh, the idea is to have as large of a hole left open as possible, that is the permanent wound cavity. This is necessary for the letting of blood, which then causes the loss of blood pressure that is needed to put down an aggressor. Author’s Note: Most FMJ handgun projectiles don’t cause enough tissue damage to be effective defensive ammo as they tend to push the flesh aside, rather than destroy it as it passes through. This causes the permanent cavity to actually be smaller in diameter than the projectile, not the desired effect. On the other hand, projectiles that expand significantly can often create a wound cavity that is larger in diameter than the projectile was before expansion, this is the ideal scenario.  Expand your mind, well, expand your bullet For instance, a 9mm projectile being .355 inch in diameter can expand to sizes of 17mm or .65 inch in diameter, well over a ½ inch and nearly double the original diameter. Some quality .40 cal and many.45 auto projectiles can expand up to .75 or .8 inch in diameter, that’s a ¾ of an inch hole or better! Crush factor on tissue The term crush factor tells the amount of tissue destroyed, in grams, caused by a projectile. It also describes the minimum amount of tissue damage necessary for stopping the average aggressor. When an expanding projectile passes through the tissue, rather than the tissue merely being pushed aside, the tissue is destroyed to the point of nonexistence, leaving a channel where the tissue had been. This destroyed, or crushed tissue is what the desired effect is. And the more tissue crushed the better. I used these three calibers as my basis but there are a few revolvers that are more than sufficient for stopping a man. .38 spcl +P hollow points and .357 magnum hollow points leave very little for discussion after an aggressor has been hit squarely in the chest. These six calibers, the 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, .38 spcl +P, the .357 magnum, and the .44 spcl are my personal favorite defense calibers, I feel, and ballistics show, that anything more is overkill, and anything less is not reliable. Author’s note: A .380 or .32 cal pistol tucked away makes for a good backup gun and is better than a knife or a rock. It’s a given that one shot in the heart or brain stem, no matter the caliber, will kill, but I would not rely on the smaller caliber weapon as my primary defense weapon as they lack not only the penetration but the mass and energy to cause an effective stopping wound with only one or two rounds. Stopping power or no stopping power I knew of a guy years ago that put a .380 in his mouth and pulled the trigger, the bullet lodged in his sinus cavity and gave him a really bad headache and a nastily bruised face for a couple of weeks. He had to have surgery to remove the bullet but he lived. Yet another genius I worked with years ago shot himself point blank in his belly (says he was trying for his heart) with a .380 and all he got was a nasty scar to prove his love for the woman that drove him to this act of idiocy. But thanks to these two guys I know firsthand that the .380 just lacks the stopping power. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to get shot with anything, but if an aggressor is high on crack or meth he is not going to be affected enough by these smaller rounds to stop him instantly. So if you have a .380 for your EDC gun I strongly suggest high quality expanding +P ammo (if your gun is rated for it) and shoot the aggressor until they stop or you run out of ammo. Author’s note: Another thing to consider, and it’s an ugly truth but I always told my female instructees to keep it in mind, is if the potential victim is female and the bad guys intent isn’t robbery they may still begin what they planned even if they die before they finish, this is unacceptable. An aggressor ideally needs to be stopped in their tracks. I have seen people carry a .22 cal for self-defense and this is just way too small to trust with your life (still better than a rock), although I have been known over the years to keep an NAA .22 magnum 5 shot mini revolver in my front pocket for just such an emergency. Low-Cost Root Cellar/Bunker This guy did something very sharp and inventive: His cellar had all the benefits of our great-grandparents’ root cellars, the American Army war bunkers, and the secret Viet Cong building method with none of their drawbacks. Watch the video and learn more! Small calibers and crush factor These smaller calibers require too many rounds on target to gain the crush factor of only one or two of the larger caliber rounds and in the heat of the moment it may be difficult to get one or two rounds on target, much less the eight or ten from a smaller caliber needed to achieve the same effect as the larger caliber. Very long story short, carry a weapon with as much capacity as you can, and with sufficient power to stop with minimal shots, that’s why I prefer the .45 ACP. Use a high-quality defense round, a dollar or two per shot is nothing when it comes to saving your life, and most importantly, you need to learn to use your weapon. After all, you can’t drive a nail if you keep hitting your thumb. Stopping power There is a ton of discussion over whether the.45 ACP is a better man stopper than the 9mm, others swear by the .40 cal. but the fact is that with modern expanding hollow points the 9mm will make nearly as big a hole as the .45 ACP and has a little more penetration. Consider mag capacity Then consider most 9mm handguns have a much higher mag capacity, and in the heat of the moment seven or eight rounds come out awfully fast, with a 1911 .45 guess what? You just emptied your gun. But with most 9mm handguns you will still have anywhere from four to twelve rounds left. But now factor in a high capacity .45 (mine holds 13 rounds but I only carry 12 in it), and favor leans back to the .45. The more the merrier The same argument can be said for the .38 SPCL or .357 MAG, both very good weapons, as a matter of fact, I carried a .38 snubby for nearly 15 yrs before I switched to a high capacity 9mm, The 9mm lasted for 5 years then I switched again to a .45. But while these revolvers have great stopping power, you have only five, six, seven, or eight rounds before you are out. Also to be considered the 9mm actually has a higher muzzle pressure than the .38. I feel better knowing that my EDC weapon has eleven rounds in the mag and one in the tube. It actually holds thirteen, but I’m not going to carry thirteen rounds in my gun, I guess I’m superstitious. My argument against the .40 caliber is that the payoff for a slightly larger caliber is outweighed by the higher cost and lower availability of the ammo, it just isn’t worth it, and so I’ll stick with my 9mm’s and .45’s. Crushing Blow I have mentioned crush factor a few times in this article, let’s try to see just what exactly these most commonly carried calibers do to flesh. In order to stop an aggressor, you must crush 0.22 grams of tissue per pound of body weight of said attacker, thus a 200-pound attacker would need 44 grams of tissue crushed to effectively be stopped. 9mm A 147gr HP 9mm projectile moving at 990 fps will penetrate approximately 15 inches deep and crush 43 grams of tissue. With approximately two-thirds of this tissue damage effective for stopping, this means that the projectiles crush factor is 28 grams. In other words, it takes two 9mm projectiles to cause 56 grams of tissue crush for an effective stopping wound. Thus unless directly hit in the heart or brainstem a 9mm may not stop with one shot, so double tap. .45 ACP Now let’s look at the .45 ACP, a 230 gr .45 ACP moving 875 fps will penetrate approximately 14 inches and crush 65 grams of tissue, approximately two-thirds of this tissue damage, about 43 grams, effective for stopping. In other words, the .45 ACP may stop an attacker with one shot, if you hit them with a well-placed shot. So again, double tap for good measure.  Really the long and short (get it, long and short? Like ammo? Yeah, ok,,, you’re right) Anyway, the long and short of the story is that if you carry a firearm intended to be used in the event of a situation in which you need to defend yourself you need to know how to use it. Know how to use your EDC effectively Practice, and by practice, I don’t mean get to a range and stand still in a perfect triangle stance and shoot paper targets. I mean train. Drill, run and gun, practice drawing and double tapping your target. It doesn’t matter if you have the most expensive pistol in the world, if you don’t know how to use it and/or you use crap ammo it’s going to be a sad day when the time comes. Learn to fire under pressure When you are target shooting you are relaxed and that target is far away and not trying to hurt you, it’s a big difference over the real world scenario that will cause you to draw your weapon. Keep in mind that one shot and down he goes, that’s on television. The reality is it’s going to take a few shots to put them down. So you need to learn to fire under pressure. Mozambique drill Then when you do get good at it and the situation arises to stop a bad guy, there is always the Mozambique drill, 2 in the chest, one in the head. This method is pretty much guaranteed to put them down and keep them down.  Final thought After all is said and done, no matter what caliber you carry, none are effective if you can’t hit the target. Get out and shoot. The Most Comprehensive Book Available Our grandfathers had more knowledge than any of us today and thrived even when modern conveniences were not available.

Democrats Have a ‘Subpoena Cannon’ Aimed at Over 85 Trump Targets ~ Pamela Geller (gellerreport.com)

By kdocburgess on November 13, 2018 • ( 1 Comment )

Good morning fellow Seekers,

The 2nd word in this GR report is spot on. This is nothing more than a soft COUP. The butt hurt Dems and their liberal cohorts still can’t handle the sting of the loss back in 2016. When the Dems won back the House were there any pussy hat wearing GOP supporters in the streets smashing windows and screaming at the sky? I think not. Even looking at the list presented here as the possible targets of said investigations…their all “Dead Horses”. So absolutely let’s keep beating them. All they do is prove their lack of message and agenda to move this country forward and dig a deeper hole for 2020. Keep it up, we love it. Here’s more from Pam Geller and Geller Report…

DEMOCRATS REPORTEDLY HAVE A ‘SUBPOENA CANNON’ AIMED AT OVER 85 TRUMP TARGETS

by Mary Chastain, Legal Insurrection, November 12, 2018: 

I guess legislation is out the window.  Back in September, Axios reported that the Democrats already had an agenda set for the possibility of the party taking over the House. Well, that happened last Tuesday and now Axios disclosed that the agenda will see the light of day as the Democrats prepare a “subpoena cannon” aimed at over 85 people in President Donald Trump’s sphere. These subpoenas will not come out at once. Democrat California Rep. Adam Schiff, who will take over the House Intelligence Committee, told Axios that the committee will “prioritize what they view as the most pressing topics, which he says range from Trump’s potential business dealings with Russia to where things currently stand with North Korea.”  The previous report from Axios listed these possible targets:  President Trump’s tax returns Trump family businesses — and whether they comply with the Constitution’s emoluments clause, including the Chinese trademark grant to the Trump Organization  Trump’s dealings with Russia, including the president’s preparation for his meeting with Vladimir Putin  The payment to Stephanie Clifford — a.k.a. Stormy Daniels

James Comey’s firing

Trump’s firing of U.S. attorneys

Trump’s proposed transgender ban for the military

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin’s business dealings

White House staff’s personal email use

Cabinet secretary travel, office expenses, and other misused perks

Discussion of classified information at Mar-a-Lago

Jared Kushner’s ethics law compliance

Dismissal of members of the EPA board of scientific counselors

The travel ban

Family separation policy

Hurricane response in Puerto Rico

Election security and hacking attempts

White House security clearances

Other possible investigations: Trump’s pardons, firing of Jeff Sessions, appointing Matt Whitacker as acting Attorney General, the FBI’s investigation into Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, profits from the Trump International Hotel in DC, and politicizing the military. Schiff would also like the committee to investigate Trump attacking the press, mainly The Washington Post and CNN. Rep. Nita Lowey (D-NY) will take over the Appropriations Committee and she wants “to investigate Trump’s decision to initiate the Space Force — among a slew of topics already” listed above. I wouldn’t doubt if the Democrats push through the 64 subpoenas they already tried to get through with the House under Republican control. The Republicans still control the Senate and picked up a few more seats. Trump threatened the Democrats that “he would turn the tables and leverage his party’s Senate majority to investigate Democrats if they go that route.” At a news conference, Trump told the press that he’s “better at that game than they are, actually, but we’ll find out. ”For more from GR click below…  https://gellerreport.com

Dave Hodges: Three Reasons Why Nancy Pelosi and Her Criminally Complicit Democrats Are Freaking Out Over the Whitaker Appointment

November 13, 2018 James Fetzerblog Dave Hodges

The Democrats are absolutely freaking out over the appointment of Matt Whitaker as the new acting Attorney General of the United States. There are a chorus of Democratic politicians and their mouthpiece media that are demanding that Whitaker immediately recluse himself from any oversight of Mueller. There are three major reasons why criminally complicit Democrats and the Deep State, as a whole, are in a state of absolute panic over the appointment of Matt Whitaker. Pelosi called Whitaker’s appointment “a violent act against the Constitution”. That is not the reason why this appointment is causing so much anxiety. The three reasons why this move is creating panic: Whitaker is predisposed to fire Mueller over the phony Russian investigation based on previously expressed opinions  Whitaker believes that Hillary should have been prosecuted over the national security violations connected to the emails.  Deputy AG Rosenstein and his Deep-State wife, Lisa Barsoomian, have presumably been compromised and can open Pandora’s box with regard to nefarious Deep State activities.  The following documentation supports these three positions.  Whitaker Believed That Clinton Should Have Been Charged with 33,000 National Security Violations  Whitaker was very straightforward in his belief, through a series of published opinions, that Comey’s decision to not charge Hillary Clinton for her gross violations of the handling of the classified materials (emails) during Clinton’s tenure as secretary of State.  Generally, the improper handling of the classified emails could have contained a 5 year sentence per occurrence. Perhaps the most important fallout of Whitaker’s appointment and his predisposed beliefs about Clinton’s guilt, would be the danger that it poses to the continued freedom of Robert Mueller. I am not just talking about disbanding this fake investigation of Trump and the Russians, I am talking directly to the guilt of Mueller as he was the first to deliver highly enriched uranium to the Russians and this is documented from both sides of the Atlantic. The exposure of this event which would clearly ensnare not only Clinton, but Mueller as well, and this would create a gigantic sink hole for many who have performed similar duties on behalf of the treasonous Deep State. Jeff Sessions did not have the intestinal fortitude to follow through on what should have been done to both Clinton and Mueller. However, Whitaker appears to have what it takes to carry out the mandates of his office. So what would Whitaker have access to that Sessions probably did and refused to act upon it? On July 30, 2017, The Common Sense Show published a pair of documents, one Russian and one American, which clearly proved that Robert Mueller delivered highly enriched uranium, on behalf of Hillary Clinton, to the Russians. If the new interim AG, Matt Whitaker, does not have these documents, I would be happy to provide them to his office. The referenced information is now going on 18 months old and no Democrat has successfully challenged the veracity of the evidence. Even the NY Times was instrumental in exposing a portion of this crime (see previous citation). The smoking gun documentation comes from a State Department memo which helps, in part, which Hillary moved classified material to her private server in order to hide her treason over Uranium one. If Dave Hodges has access to this damning evidence, then so would Whitaker and so would have the compromised accomplice after the fact Jeff Sessions. State Department Memo Both Julian Assange and The New York Times identified some of the documentation, but the real proof, the undeniable smoking gun is contained in the following From The Common Sense Show 2009 AMBASSADOR BEYRLE E-MAIL D. 08 MOSCOW 521 Classified By: EUR/PRA: KATHLEEN MORENSKI PER E.O. 12958: REASONS 1.4 (A) AND (G). 1. SBU) This is an action request: Embassy Moscow please see para 6 and 7; and Embassy Tbilisi please see para 8. 2. (S/NF) Background: Over two years ago Russia requested a ten-gram sample of highly enriched uranium (HEU) seized in early 2006 in Georgia during a nuclear smuggling sting operation involving one Russian national and several Georgian accomplices. The seized HEU was transferred to U.S. custody and is being held at a secure DOE facility. In response to the Russian request, the Georgian Government authorized the United States to share a sample of the material with the Russians for forensic analysis. Director Mueller previously planned to deliver the sample in April (Ref A), but due to a scheduling conflict the trip was canceled. Embassy Moscow LegAtt informed the FSB prior to Mueller’s intended April delivery and received confirmation that the FSB would take custody of the sample after the Director’s plane landed. EST Moscow also informed Rosatom of the planned transfer and that the U.S. placed a high priority on completing this transfer (Ref B). Once the LegAtt told FSB counterparts the April trip had been canceled, Ambassador Beyrle informed Igor Neverov (Ref C), who said that he understood but was disappointed the trip was postponed. The September 21 visit provides again an opportunity to deliver the requested ten-gram sample from the seized HEU in order to obtain cooperation from the GOR on this nuclear smuggling case and to eventually establish a more productive mechanism of U.S.-Russian cooperation on nuclear forensics. 3. (S/NF) While there was a reasonable exchange of information with Russian security services at the time of the 2006 seizure, we have had poor cooperation investigating the diversion of HEU, which the United States believes was stolen from a Russian facility. Russia did not respond to papers that then Acting U/S Rood provided Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov in December 2008 reiterating the USG position that Russia should pick up this sample in the United States. Further, when asked for an update on their response to our proposal, Ryabkov told us in early 2009 in Washington that there was an interagency dispute over who would come and pick up the material. 4. (S/NF) Given Russia’s reluctance to act so far, FBI Mueller’s delivery of this sample will underscore to Russia our commitment to follow through on this case. While some details related to the sharing of information on smuggling networks may be too sensitive to discuss, delivery of the sample could enable us to discuss whether Russian authorities investigated the diversion and prosecuted anyone. Moreover, we hope it will spark discussions on mechanisms to exchange information and material on future incidents of this nature, particularly in light of the commitments made in the July summit U.S.-Russia Joint Statement on Nuclear Cooperation regarding strengthening our cooperation to stop acts of nuclear terrorism. Posts should note that DOE/NNSA’s April 2009 determination authorizing distribution of the sample to the Russian Federation only for attribution of the sample in support of a criminal investigation is applicable to the proposed September 21 delivery of the sample to Russia. 5. (S/Rel Russia) Background con’t: On April 16, the FSB verbally confirmed to Legatt that we will have no problem with the Russian Ministry of Aviation concerning Mueller’s flight (although we probably won’t see paperwork until shortly before the trip). The FBI is requiring that the sample be turned over to a Russian law enforcement authority (i.e., FSB) as opposed to an intelligence service (i.e., SVR) or technical authority (i.e., Rosatom). A representative from the responsible Russian Law Enforcement authority, who will accept custody of the sample, must be identified and verified ahead of time. That individual will be required to have signatory authority to accept the sample. Appropriate arrangements need to be made to ensure the transfer of material is conducted at the airport, plane-side, upon arrival of the Director’s aircraft. Post should also remind the GOR that this is the material about which the GOR gave the USG nonproliferation assurances in 2008 in a diplomatic note from February 2008 (Ref D). 6. (S/Rel Russia) Action request: Embassy Moscow is requested to alert at the highest appropriate level the Russian Federation that FBI Director Mueller plans to deliver the HEU sample once he arrives to Moscow on September 21. Post is requested to convey information in paragraph 5 with regard to chain of custody, and to request details on Russian Federation’s plan for picking up the material. Embassy is also requested to reconfirm the April 16 understanding from the FSB verbally that we will have no problem with the Russian Ministry of Aviation concerning Mueller’s September 21 flight clearance. 7. (S/Rel Russia) Post is requested to deliver the following talking points: –We wish to inform you that FBI Director Mueller plans to arrive in Moscow on the evening of September 21 with a ten-gram sample of seized HEU, which you requested for nuclear forensics analysis. –We regret that the April visit by Director Mueller could not take place due to a scheduling conflict. We would be grateful once again for the Russian Federation’s willingness to receive the sample and facilitate the logistics for its pick up. –As before, we require confirmation that a representative from a responsible Russian law enforcement authority will be available to accept custody of the sample and have signatory authority to accept the sample. –We require that the transfer of this material be conducted at the airport, on the tarmac near by the plane, upon arrival of the Director’s aircraft. –We place a high priority on completion of this sample transfer to facilitate your forensic analysis of the material. –Further, with the delivery of this sample, we hope to collaborate more closely on promoting a more effective relationship between our law enforcement organizations to counter illicit trafficking of nuclear materials. –In particular, such efforts were underscored in the July Summit joint presidential statement on nuclear cooperation regarding our commitments to strengthen cooperation to stop acts of nuclear terrorism. Securing vulnerable nuclear materials and improving nuclear security within our two countries is our highest priority. — It is our hope to eventually establish a more systematic mechanism to facilitate U.S.-Russian cooperation on investigations into nuclear smuggling cases. We continue to believe that Russia should be concerned by the prospect that HEU was diverted from one of its facilities, and should actively investigate the incident. 8. (S/Rel Georgia) For Embassy Tbilisi: No action is required at this point. As before, State will send instructions at the appropriate time on alerting the Georgian Government when the transfer of the seized HEU is immanent and in Russian custody. 9. (U) Department thanks Post for its assistance. Washington point of contacts are Mike Curry, ISN/WMDT, 202-736-7692 (CurryMR@state.sgov.gov) and Nate Young, EUR/PRA, 202-647-7278 (YoungNH@state.sgov.gov). Please slug all responses for EUR, ISN/WMDT, and T. CLINTON

There is more incriminating evidence that can be accessed at the previous hypertext link offered. Yes, there is indeed more documentation at the previously identified citation in the preceding paragraphs, but even Ray Charles could see the criminal and treasonous implications for both Clinton and Mueller. Hello Matt Whitaker, it is time to roll up your sleeves and get to work. But wait, as they say in the infomercials, there’s more! Rosenstein’s Fateful Ride On Air Force One From all appearances, Rosenstein has been flipped presumably so has his Deep State “cleaner” wife, Lisa Barsoomian. Rosenstein was presumably going to be fired, but after taking a ride on Air Force One, Trump and Rosenstein are still working together. Working together on what? The only way that Rosenstein kept his job and presumably kept his wife out of prison, who is a known shot blocker for the FBI FOIA defense team as well one who has represented several Deep State personnel in court (eg the Clintons a total of 62 times), was for her husband to cut a deal with Trump on that Air Force One excursion. By the way, Barsoomian is so covert and is so adept at avoiding FOIA’s on Deep State activities, that she maintains a fake email address at the NIH in order to throw investigators off the trail. Between the two of them, any Democrat with Deep State ties to corruption and criminal activities is now at risk.  Conclusion A compromised Rosenstein and Barsoomian is a major blow to the Deep State and in particular to Hillary Clinton. This is why I believe a feeble and unhealthy Hillary Clinton 3.0, is once again running for President. This gives her a layer of protection. If the DOJ pursues Hillary, she will claim political retaliation and surely there would be massive George Soros inspired riots in the streets. I predict Trump will go after more low-hanging fruit such as Podesta, Abedin, Weiner and Wasserman Schultz. This would effectively encircle and further compromise the Clinton Foundation and Hillary may be forced to just go away This is why Nancy Pelosi and her fellow Democrats are running scared. They all live in glass houses and may soon have to stop throwing stones. The only thing that can derail the direction of what is going to be revealed would be an extreme executive action.

Dead Men Tell No Tales in Broward County: 3 Recent Whistleblowers Who Ended Up DEAD

Opening your mouth in Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s district has been proven to be quite hazardous to one’s health.

Dean Garrison — November 12, 2018

For decades, the county has regularly been a hot zone for election-night chaos in both statewide and national races, including the infamous 2000 presidential election. Years of problems have only slapped additional coats of paint on the county’s sordid reputation as a black hole for ballots. Broward County Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes, the target of Scott’s legal action, has been accused in recent years of illegally destroying ballots and mismanagement.Washington Post Controversies arise regularly in Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s 23rd district and those who seek justice sometimes meet an untimely demise. Below are the stories of 3 men who dared challenge the establishment and soon after paid with their lives. Beranton J. Whisenant Jr Whisenant was a federal prosecutor that was murdered in 2017 while investigating voter fraud. Biz Pac Review reported: A federal prosecutor from the U.S. attorney’s office in Miami who happened to be investigating voter fraud has been found dead along a Hollywood Florida beach, and it’s being investigated as a homicide. According to Hollywood police spokeswoman Miranda Grossman, although the “investigation is still very preliminary,” 37-year-old Beranton J. Whisenant Jr. likely suffered a head wound from a gunshot or other direct trauma. His body was found by a passerby washed up on the Hollywood beach shore south of Magnolia Terrace. It isn’t clear where the victim actually died. For now, the FBI’s Miami office is referring all questions related to Whisenant’s death to Hollywood police, but if the death is found to be retaliatory or related to a case Whisenant was working on, standard procedure would mean the FBI and U.S. attorney’s office aggressively working together on the case. News spread quickly on social media that Whisenant was involved in a recent fraud probe involving the DNC, though none of the news reports mentioned that as fact. A graduate of the University of Florida law school, Whisenant has been a member of the Florida Bar since 2004, joining the U.S. attorney’s office in January 2017 in the major crimes section. His office happens to be in Congressman Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s district. Broward County Deputy Jason Fitzsimons Deputy Jason Fitzsimmons was the first of two Broward County Deputies to question the politicizing of the Parkland shooting by Democrats. Both ended up dead, under intriguing and suspicious circumstances. Sunshine State News covered the story in April of this year: Conspiracy theories have always turned me off, and I’m not posing one now — but doesn’t anyone else want to know what happened to Broward County Sheriff’s Deputy Jason Fitzsimons? Deputy Fitzsimons, 42, described as “in an excellent state of mind and health,” called in sick sometime April 1 and then died — his obituary read “unexpectedly.” Apparently he was found on his sofa. That’s pretty much the extent of the death report. I called the Sheriff’s Office and asked about him, was promised someone would get back to me, but no one ever did. The rub about Fitzsimons is, his handiwork was all over social media after Feb. 14, questioning the motive behind the Marjory Stoneman Douglas mass shooting. He believed the tragedy was being used to promote the Democratic Party’s gun-control agenda, to gain traction in the upcoming election. On one Facebook posting, he had included Douglas student-spokesman David Hogg Photoshopped to look like an SS officer, complete with the Nazi salute and swastika, above the caption, “We will March Until We Disarm Every American.” I was trying to reach Fitzsimons because I wanted to write a story on why he was challenging impassioned and grieving students so publicly, and frankly because he seemed like quite a character and great story fodder. Broward County Deputy Marshall Peterson Another member of the Broward County Sheriff’s Department, also believed to be in excellent health was found dead about 3 weeks later at his Mother’s house. Newspunch has the story: According to the obituary notice, Marshall Lawrence Peterson was a “loving son, brother, brother-in-law, uncle and friend” who was a popular member of the Sheriff’s office, having served there since 1989. However the obituary does not state why the 53-year-old man, who was apparently in good health, was found dead at his mother’s house. Deputy Peterson is the second Broward County deputy to be found dead within a month. They were both in the prime of their lives and they died from unspecified, non-job related causes. Unless you count “questioning the official narrative surrounding a highly publicized school shooting” to be a job related cause of death…  Let us not forget that Debbie Wasserman Schultz is not afraid to threaten law enforcement. She can be seen in this 2017 video threatening a police chief. I’m not saying that Debbie Wasserman Schultz is behind any of this, but would it surprise you if she were? The woman had the audacity to threaten a chief of police. I think you’re violating the rules when you conduct your business that way and you should expect that there will be consequences. One thing is for certain. Opening your mouth in Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s district has been proven to be quite hazardous to one’s health.  Article posted with permission from Dean Garrison

etc.  for if you put the man in that I desire for you to put in, you will have good times until you go.  If not it shall be hell here on earth and you will think that you have been left behind, but that is not so.  

For I have told you before this that this would be the last President, that this would be the last President as you know a President, therefore listen, pay attention, for it is your life it will affect, but it doesn’t need to affect it in a bad sense it can affect it in a good sense.  You can be the victors, you can be the overcomers, but hear, hear what I, your Father God, has to say. 

For truly my people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge and I, your Father God, have said that if you lack anything ask and I, your Father God, will give it unto you.  And therefore, I am giving wisdom and knowledge when it is asked of me, but many times my people do not ask of me, but they make their own choice and their own decisions, and therefore, they have to pay the consequences and the price for those decisions.  Even as in the days of old when the children of Israel said let us, let us choose and they chose and the one that they chose was not the one that I chose and they ended up defeated because of that.  So you see my people when you follow after me and follow after my word and when you seek my wisdom, when you seek my counsel you are able to make the right decisions.  The decision that will bring you victory, the decision that will make you the overcomer, the decision that will help you and you see how the people decided in the past and they made the wrong decision and they paid the consequence because of that.  So seek my face, call upon my name, ask for wisdom, ask for knowledge and I will give unto you that wisdom, I will give unto you that knowledge, I will show you exactly who to vote for, I will show you what to do.  For truly if you follow after my ways and my wisdom you shall have victory, saith the Lord.

This Shows The HUGE Difference Between Barack Obama's DHS, Which Targeted Survivalists As Potential Terrorists, And President Trump's DHS, Which Is Urging Americans To BECOME Preppers!

- November Declared National Critical Infrastructure Security And Resilience Month

By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die November 12, 2018

While not a single story turned up about this recent announcement by President Donald Trump within the mainstream media and only a few within the independent media, President Trump has declared the month of November to be the 'National Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience Month'. As Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen M. Nielsen mentions in her recent statement about this pronouncement, "there are 16 critical infrastructure sectors that provide the essential services that support and underpin American society" and without them, the ability of Americans to access secure and "safe food, reliable electricity, transportation, clean water, and instant communications" would come to a sudden and complete end. While Nielsen also commended President Trump for recognizing the very real threat to America should suddenly and without warning, the 16 critical infrastructure sectors be somehow taken down, the Department of Homeland Security's website page on critical infrastructure security warns that the biggest threats to those sectors will come if somehow the electrical power grid is taken down. Whether via a massive cyber attack, a 'Carrington-event-style' solar flare from the sun or via an EMP should war break out with a nuclear-armed country or a global terrorist group becomes capable of carrying out such an attack, it's great to see President Trump's DHS focusing upon the very real existential threat that will be delivered to America should the grid go down long term, rather than targeting survivalists, patriots, preppers, Conservatives and 'Constitutionalists' as a threat to America as Barack Obama's DHS did. And while ANP and many other independent media outlets highly criticized Obama's DHS for actually targeting 72 different kinds of law-abiding American citizens as potential threats in official US govt documents, we'll give credit where credit is due to this DHS which recognizes that should any one of our 16 critical infrastructure sectors go down, America is in trouble, much less all 16 at once. Each of the 16 critical infrastructure sectors in America is detailed below and it's easy to see many of these sectors are directly tied to other sectors, showing how interconnected, and potentially fragile, our critical infrastructure is here in America. From the DHS website. There are 16 critical infrastructure sectors whose assets, systems, and networks, whether physical or virtual, are considered so vital to the United States that their incapacitation or destruction would have a debilitating effect on security, national economic security, national public health or safety, or any combination thereof. Chemical Sector: The Chemical Sector is an integral component of the U.S. economy that manufactures, stores, uses, and transports potentially dangerous chemicals upon which a wide range of other critical infrastructure sectors rely. Securing these chemicals against growing and evolving threats requires vigilance from both the private and public sector. Commercial Facilities Sector: The Department of Homeland Security is designated as the Sector-Specific Agency for the Commercial Facilities Sector, which includes a diverse range of sites that draw large crowds of people for shopping, business, entertainment, or lodging. Communications Sector: The Communications Sector is an integral component of the U.S. economy, underlying the operations of all businesses, public safety organizations, and government. The Department of Homeland Security is the Sector-Specific Agency for the Communications Sector. Critical Manufacturing Sector: The Critical Manufacturing Sector is crucial to the economic prosperity and continuity of the United States. A direct attack on or disruption of certain elements of the manufacturing industry could disrupt essential functions at the national level and across multiple critical infrastructure sectors. Dams Sector: The Department of Homeland Security is designated as the Sector-Specific Agency for the Dams Sector. The Dams Sector comprises dam projects, navigation locks, levees, hurricane barriers, mine tailings impoundments, and other similar water retention and/or control facilities. Defense Industrial Base Sector: The U.S. Department of Defense is the Sector-Specific Agency for the Defense Industrial Base Sector. The Defense Industrial Base Sector enables research, development, design, production, delivery, and maintenance of military weapons systems, subsystems, and components or parts to meet U.S. military requirements. Emergency Services Sector: The Department of Homeland Security is designated as the Sector-Specific Agency for the Emergency Services Sector. The sector provides a wide range of prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery services during both day-to-day operations and incident response.

The sector provides a wide range of prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery services during both day-to-day operations and incident response. national_critical_infrastructure.jpg

Energy Sector: The U.S. energy infrastructure fuels the economy of the 21st century. The Department of Energy is the Sector-Specific Agency for the Energy Sector Financial Services Sector: The Financial Services Sector represents a vital component of our nation's critical infrastructure. Large-scale power outages, recent natural disasters, and an increase in the number and sophistication of cyberattacks demonstrate the wide range of potential risks facing the sector. Food and Agriculture Sector: The Food and Agriculture Sector is almost entirely under private ownership and is composed of an estimated 2.1 million farms, 935,000 restaurants, and more than 200,000 registered food manufacturing, processing, and storage facilities. This sector accounts for roughly one-fifth of the nation's economic activity. Government Facilities Sector: The Government Facilities Sector includes a wide variety of buildings, located in the United States and overseas, that are owned or leased by federal, state, local, and tribal governments. Many government facilities are open to the public for business activities, commercial transactions, or recreational activities while others that are not open to the public contain highly sensitive information, materials, processes, and equipment. Healthcare and Public Health Sector: The Healthcare and Public Health Sector protects all sectors of the economy from hazards such as terrorism, infectious disease outbreaks, and natural disasters. Because the vast majority of the sector's assets are privately owned and operated, collaboration and information sharing between the public and private sectors is essential to increasing resilience of the nation's Healthcare and Public Health critical infrastructure. Operating in all U.S. states, territories, and tribal areas, the sector plays a significant role in response and recovery across all other sectors in the event of a natural or manmade disaster. Information Technology Sector: The Information Technology Sector is central to the nation's security, economy, and public health and safety as businesses, governments, academia, and private citizens are increasingly dependent upon Information Technology Sector functions. These virtual and distributed functions produce and provide hardware, software, and information technology systems and services, and—in collaboration with the Communications Sector—the Internet. The sector's complex and dynamic environment makes identifying threats and assessing vulnerabilities difficult and requires that these tasks be addressed in a collaborative and creative fashion. Nuclear Reactors, Materials, and Waste Sector: From the power reactors that provide electricity to millions of Americans, to the medical isotopes used to treat cancer patients, the Nuclear Reactors, Materials, and Waste Sector covers most aspects of America’s civilian nuclear infrastructure. The Nuclear Sector-Specific Agency within the Department of Homeland Security is responsible for coordinating the security and resilience of the Nuclear Sector. Transportation Systems Sector: The Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Transportation are designated as the Co-Sector-Specific Agencies for the Transportation Systems Sector. The nation's transportation system quickly, safely, and securely moves people and goods through the country and overseas. Water and Wastewater Systems Sector: Safe drinking water is a prerequisite for protecting public health and all human activity. Properly treated wastewater is vital for preventing disease and protecting the environment. Thus, ensuring the supply of drinking water and wastewater treatment and service is essential to modern life and the Nation’s economy. In both of the videos below, videographer Canadian Prepper takes a look at President Trump's declaration of November as national critical infrastructure security and resilience month and gives his analysis of how the 16 sectors of critical infrastructure as identified by the DHS will be impacted by a disaster of national scope such as another 'Carrington event' happening in 2018. As one of the top comments on a video points out, "People in poor, underdeveloped countries won't notice much difference. They get by without electricity or gas just fine. Kind of ironic that the exploited poor countries will survive while the rich exploiters will die." Another eye opening comment from a grocery store employee shows just how quickly the food supply can dry out in a SHTF scenario: "For someone who works at night (3rd shift) at a grocery store. We get food goods every 2-3 days (2 days when Holidays are around the corner) from the trucks. Now think: a whole aisle of the cereal section can be gone within a 1½ days. We have over stock in the back but if we stop getting shipping. It's gonna be like Black Friday within 2 weeks. Not just food, even your medicine. Helpful tips: Have (at least) $300 in small cash when you can't go to the bank, have a water key (look it up), have a map of your city, learn how to bath with a bucket & washing clothes. Get in shape (Don't wait when SHTF! DO IT NOW). Walk around your area to have a good view on your 'get out plan'. Never forget about your pets (they gotta live too), baby wipes will be your best friend, & most wonderful tip of them all, BE THE GRAY MAN (Your own family can turn on you. Please be careful who you trust)". Another eye opening comment from a trucker who understands SHTF: "I worked as a truck driver (the big ones) for an year and as a busdriver for 5 years. I am sure no sane truck driver will drive food or other goods to maintain other people parasitic lifestyle while his life will be everyday in serious danger. Even childless young naive truckers will not do it because hungry and desperate people will rob the trucks like in some russian countysides, the trucker will be shot if he doesn t stop. The other thing is public transportation, busdriving: old people, sick people, orphaned and abadoned children, mentally ill people or even homeless immigrants have to take the bus to some places where they get everything they need. I don t think any sane bus driver will expose his life to such amount of risk. I don t think truck and busdrivers in SHTF situations are into rockstar altruistic lifestyles while cruelty rules...." And finally, we'll close with some wisdom from a commenter who has quoted Selco, a man who actually has survived SHTF during the Balkan war during the 1990's in Bosnia, his 'year in hell'. Everyone really needs to go read up on Selco's one year in hell. He survived a SHTF in Bosnia in 1990's Balkan war. I read all of his blogs, it was the most incredible, disturbing, unreal story's. His perspective is foreign to 99% of the average person because this was a civil war...not many can say they survived a situation like this. I think most will die from lack of food/water, access to medical facilities. Even a simple infection will kill you without anti-biotics. Imagine no hospitals, you break a bone or any medical problems that require surgery, you're screwed. Some of the most powerful message I got from his story's was. "When SHTF, good people turn bad, bad people turn into monsters." "After about 1 month of the start of SHTF all the Rambo types were dead." "Bullets do strange things to human beings. I saw one man take down two men with a rifle. He ran at them and didn't shoot, he was screaming and the shots were missing him. He killed both of them with the butt of this rifle." "Most people died of hunger, disease, sedentary of unclean water not combat, hospitals were shut down, no medical help. War is not romantic or heroic like in movies, in real life people die" "A friend told me how a few months after SHTF, police showed up to his building at night, they shone their lights on the building. People quickly went down stairs to greet them. Everyone thought the war was over. My friend found this strange and hid on his balcony, when the people got close the police open fire killing everyone. My friend was in shock, he got a few things and left through the back of the building. He could hear gunfire in the dark night sky." So with President Donald Trump and his Department of Homeland Security urging Americans to prepare for potential disaster rather than targeting Americans who are preparing for disaster as Barack Obama's administration did, we see more steps being taken in the right direction. And while Dr. Peter Vincent Pry of the Congressional EMP Commission had hammered Obama's administration for its lackadaisical approach to protecting the electrical grid, as we see in the SCRIBD document from the DHS that we've embedded below these two videos, President Trump's administration sees the dangers and is addressing them. Titled "STRATEGY FOR PROTECTING AND PREPARING THE HOMELAND AGAINST THREATS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE AND GEOMAGNETIC DISTURBANCES", we thank this administration for at least looking at the very real existential threat that America faces should our electrical grid go down nationwide. A prospect that experts such as Dr. Pry have warned could eventually lead to the deaths of 90% of us or more from mass starvation and the chaos that would be unleashed should the system come crashing down. And as others have warned, once the nuclear power plants across America start to melt down should the grid not return online, that 90% of Americans dead would be on the low end of the estimated scale.

Trump: 'Honest Vote Count' No Longer Possible in Florida

By Sandy Fitzgerald | Monday, 12 November 2018 09:01 AM

Florida's election should be called in favor of Republicans Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis, as tensions continue to rise over the state's recount process, President Donald Trump said in a Monday morning tweet. "The Florida Election should be called in favor of Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis in that large numbers of new ballots showed up out of nowhere, and many ballots are missing or forged," Trump said. "An honest vote count is no longer possible-ballots massively infected. Must go with Election Night!" Trump's tweet came during a Fox News "Fox & Friends" segment featuring Olympic Media Managing Editor Katie Frates, who was on the program as a guest and stated that the focus must be on Broward County Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes. "She has had a long, long history of accidents and mistakes," Frates said. "In 2016 she did this to a Democratic opponent, a challenger to Debbie Wasserman Schultz...this woman has a very long history in this county." Further there are issues in Palm Beach County, where Elections Supervisor Susan Bucher said Sunday that there is no way all the county's ballots can be counted before a Thursday afternoon deadline. Frates added that she thinks there may be some "buyers' remorse" from Republicans, as Snipes was brought in to replace a supervisor over claims of improprieties," and Snipes "seems to be following in this exact same trend." "I'm not sure why Republicans didn't focus on this beforehand," said Frates. "She has to go. Brenda Snipes cannot be overseeing anything in any county ever again."

Country singer kicked off tour after wearing MAGA hat, holding Chick-Fil-A cup on Facebook

November 12, 2018 By Victor Skinner

Country music singer and “America’s Got Talent” finalist Benton Blount likes to post memes to Facebook “poking fun at politics,” but he never suspected he would lose a gig because of his conservative views. “I don’t understand what’s going on,” Blount told The Greenville News. Blount posted a picture to his Facebook page on Election Day that showed him eating a Chick-Fil-A sandwich, while wearing a Make America Great Again hat and wearing an “I voted” sticker, along with the message: “Someone reading this just got offended multiple times. My work here is done! #Vote” Shortly after, Blount was banned from Facebook because the post allegedly “did not meet community standards.” And that was just the beginning. “I had to wait 24 hours and I got back out of (Facebook) jail,” Blount said in a video posted Wednesday. “I drove down here from Greenville, South Carolina to the venue (in Atlanta). I get a call from my friend from California who informs me that not only have I been banned from Facebook, as a result being banned from Facebook I was pulled off the Billy Gibbons tour, effective immediately.” “I was banned from Facebook (for 24 hours) and now I’ve just been banned from my opening spot on the Billy Gibbons tour,” Blount wrote in the post. “But suppression of Conservative opinion doesn’t happen and it doesn’t affect your career!” A spokesman for Billy Gibbons, the former guitarist for ZZ Top, confirmed that Blount was kicked off the program in a prepared statement that gave no rational for the move, according to FOX Carolina. Blount spoke with Wolf Radio 93.3’s Ritch Cassidy about the ordeal. “I do not know who reported it. And they didn’t just take the picture down, they took down and blocked me for 24 hours from posting or replying, liking, anything. So basically the whole day of the election I was removed from Facebook from telling people they should go vote,” he said. Blount said he had already performed four shows of a seven-show schedule with Gibbons when he was kicked off the tour. “We never heard anything from anybody,” he said. “My producer from L.A. called me and let me know they were removing me from the tour. So I didn’t even hear it direct from the tour itself, it was from a secondary party.” “I was told it was due to the Facebook posting being pulled down, and the word backlash was actually used but there was no backlash to the picture,” Blount told Cassidy. “There was no negative things about the tour. … “So there was really no reasoning for it,” he said. Blount said he had not talked to Gibbons in person about the situation, and he’s unsure what extent Gibbons played in his ouster. Regardless, Blount said he won’t let Facebook or anyone else keep him from speaking his mind. “As cool as this tour is, I’m not going to start not posting a picture of me voting because somebody might realize I voted for somebody they don’t like,” he posted to Facebook.

The Risk That Ebola Will Spread to Uganda Is Now ‘Very High’

Megan Molteni science 11.12.18 08:00 am

Ebola is one of those scourges where the mere mention of its name strikes fear: the virus, which kills about half of those it infects and gets passed on through body fluids, is notoriously hard to contain. That means that the best, perhaps only, way to contain an outbreak like the one currently ravaging the Democratic Republic of Congo is by obsessively tracking infected individuals—monitoring their social circles and their movements, and limiting their exposure to other people for weeks at a time. But containment is proving so difficult in DRC that last week, Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, suggested an alarming possibility. The current Ebola epidemic could be beyond control, he said, and may—for the first time since the deadly virus was first identified in 1976—become persistently entrenched in the population. The 329 confirmed and probable cases of Ebola infection reported so far have made it the largest outbreak in the nation’s history, with no signs yet of slowing down. Militia groups clashing in DRC’s North Kivu Province, the epicenter of the outbreak, have scrambled health workers’ attempts to trace the movements of people exposed to the virus. A massive effort to vaccinate more than 25,000 of the highest-risk people has slowed transmission rates but not yet stemmed the tide. Between October 31 and November 6, 29 new cases were reported in DRC, including three health workers. Now neighboring Uganda is bracing for the virus to cross the 545-mile boundary it shares with DRC. The border is porous and heavily trafficked, with large numbers of local farmers, merchants, traders, and refugees constantly moving through the area. A checkpoint in the region receives 5,000 people on an average day, with the busiest ones swelling to 20,000 twice a week on market days. On Wednesday, the country began immunizing frontline health workers with an experimental vaccine that produced good results in a previous outbreak. The Ugandan Health Ministry said it has 2,100 doses of the vaccine available for doctors and nurses working in five border districts. At hospitals in these districts, four special Ebola treatment units have also been constructed, with staff on standby to manage any suspected cases. “The risk of cross-border transmission was assessed to be very high at a national level,” said Ugandan Health Minister Jane Ruth Aceng at a press conference last week. “Hence the need to protect our health workers.” Since the start of the outbreak in the DRC, anyone crossing into Uganda has been subjected to health screenings at official checkpoints—a series of questions and no-contact infrared thermometers aimed at the side of the head that read out body temperatures like a highway patrolman’s radar gun. Fever is one of the first red flags for an Ebola infection. The process isn’t foolproof; symptoms can take up to three weeks to appear, and lots of other tropical diseases in that part of Africa can also cause soaring temperatures. The abundance of caution arises from the unstable situation in the DRC. Ebola has never before broken out in a war zone, so in many ways the current situation is unique and unprecedented. But as larger changes have swept across the African continent—ballooning populations, billions of dollars of Chinese infrastructure investments, the increase of urban-wildland interfaces—some infectious disease doctors see a lasting change to the shape of Ebola outbreaks. "It's a cruel irony that better roads and improved connectivity of people also make it easier for the disease to travel, particularly when the public health systems are still lagging behind, “ says Nahid Bhadelia, medical director of Boston Medical Center's Special Pathogens Unit, who worked on the front lines of the 2014 outbreak in Sierra Leone. For decades, the natural disaster that Ebola outbreaks most resembled was an earthquake. One would hit in an isolated, rural area, and health workers could quickly converge to treat infected people and seal off the disease. But when the disease strikes in more populated areas or in a conflict zone, it’s a lot easier to lose track of people. Knowing how big the outbreak is becomes impossible. If the disease jumps into Uganda, says Bhadelia, it won’t just be a new epicenter, it will be another example of Ebola’s changing profile. With Uganda already devoting significant resources to that possibility, international public health experts are more concerned with Ebola extending further into areas controlled by clashing rebel groups. “We can’t afford for it to go deep in the red security zones where we have no access,” says Mike Ryan, Assistant Director-General of Emergency Preparedness and Response at the World Health Organization. “Ebola exploits the cracks, so the more we can keep it out in the open, the better.” Reached on Sunday at his home in Ireland, where he had just returned from a month coordinating the WHO’s health response in North Kivu, Ryan expressed cautious optimism that the outbreak is beginning to turn a corner. Teams on the ground have finally gotten a handle on what’s been driving the second pressure wave of the epidemic, which ticked up in the city of Beni starting in mid-September. “It’s almost completely transmission within healthcare facilities,” says Ryan. In every outbreak, some people catch the virus at a hospital or clinic. But only in the last few weeks have health workers realized the extent to which Ebola was spreading through Beni’s network of more than 300 healthcare facilities, many of which keep poor patient records. Even as workers vaccinated victims’ close friends and family, new cases would show up seemingly out of thin air. Last week the Washington Post reported that between 60 and 80 percent of new confirmed cases had no known epidemiological link to prior cases. Ryan says a huge push in the last few weeks to completely retrain case investigators has made a big impact to change that. “We’ve now linked 93 percent of new cases to known transmission chains,” he says. Surveillance teams have also begun using tablets to register contacts and vaccinations. By layering that information over the geographic locations of new cases coming in, they’re beginning to build models to understand where the virus is likely to spread next. “Fears of this thing becoming endemic are real, and rational, but we also need to see that as a worst-case scenario,” says Ryan. “We still have plenty of opportunities to put this virus back in the box, we just need to get behind the people risking their lives on the front line and push hard for the next three to six weeks. It’s going to be a long march, but I don’t think we should be raising the white flag just yet.”

Russia and China's 'attack on Google': Virtual wargame 'experiment' hits search giant with 'worst ever' internet hijack that intercepted search, cloud and business services

An internet traffic diversion disrupted Google services and re-routed its data

Major internet providers in China and Russia intercepted data from Google users

Attack may prelude more wide-scale attacks from the nations involved in future

Interruptions lasted for nearly 1.5 hours until 10:30pm GMT (5:30pm EST)

Google said it had no reason to believe the traffic hijacking was malicious

By Harry Pettit and Tim Collins For Mailonline Published: 02:06 EST, 13 November 2018 | Updated: 06:43 EST, 14 November 2018

Google has been hit by the 'worst ever' internet hijack in the company's history, security experts say.  Information from users' Google searches, cloud-hosting services and the company's bundle of collaboration tools for businesses - known as G Suite - were all affected. Data belonging to users across the globe was intercepted by servers in Nigeria, China and Russia - including those run by major state-owned telecoms providers. Security experts suggested the hack was a 'wargame experiment' - meaning it may prelude similar, more wide-scale attacks from the nations involved in future. Google downplayed Monday's incident, however, saying it did not believe it was malicious, but failed to allay fears that the personal data of millions of users had been compromised. The company is under increasing pressure to protect users after a string of high-profile data leaks, including last month's breach of its Google+ social network, which exposed the private information of an estimated 500,000 people. The type of traffic misdirection employed in the latest incident, known as border gateway protocol (BGP) hijacking, can knock essential services offline and facilitate espionage and financial theft. It can result either from misconfiguration - human error, essentially - or from malicious action. In two recent cases, traffic rerouting has hit financial sites, potentially exposing people's private data to malicious hackers. In April 2017, a state-owned Russian Telecoms firm hijacked the traffic of MasterCard and Visa, allowing them enumerate who was initiating connections.  This past April, another hijacking enabled hackers to steal $152,000-worth (£118,000) of the cryptocurrency Ether from users of the website EtherWallet.com. Scroll down for video Google service interruptions lasted for nearly one and a half hours and ended about 10:30pm GMT (5:30pm EST) on Monday, network service companies said. Network intelligence company ThousandEyes uncovered the hijack. Alex Henthorn-Iwane, an executive at ThousandEyes, called Monday's incident the worst affecting Google that his San Francisco company has seen. He said he suspected nation-state involvement because the traffic was effectively landing at state-run China Telecom. A recent study by U.S. Naval War College and Tel Aviv University scholars found that China systematically hijacks and diverts U.S. internet traffic. ThousandEyes named the companies involved in Monday's incident, in addition to China Telecom, as the Russian internet provider Transtelecom and the Nigerian ISP MainOne. According to Professor Alan Woodward, a computer scientist at the University of Surrey, the hijack could have been part of an elaborate surveillance scheme. He told MailOnline: 'Access to people's data is a "strategic asset" for surveillance, and Russia and China have carried out hijack attacks to collect that data before. 'Most data like your online messages are encrypted, meaning anyone with access to that data could not easily read them. 'But while they could not read the messages themselves, they could track who talked to whom, when, and for how long. 'This would be useful information to help build up intelligence data on high-profile individuals of interest to foreign governments.' Both ThousandEyes and the U.S. network monitoring company BGPmon said the internet traffic detour originated with the Nigerian company MainOne. WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THE COMPANIES INVOLVED IN THE GOOGLE HIJACK? China Telecom China Telecom is a state-owned telecommunication company and the third largest mobile telecom provider in China. The company is embedded in North American networks, with 10 points-of-presence (PoP) access points spanning major internet exchange locations. China Telecom has two PoPs in Canada, and eight in the United States. Researchers reported in October that Chinese telecom firms had been hijacking internet traffic on a regular basis. Chris Demchak of the United States Naval War College and Yuval Shavitt of the Tel Aviv University in Israel traced global border gateway protocol (BGP) announcements. They discovered several attacks by state-run China Telecom over the past few years, according to reports in Secure Reading. They found that China redirected traffic between Canada and Korean government networks to its point of presence (PoP) in Toronto for six months in 2016. A recent study by U.S. Naval War College and Tel Aviv University scholars says China systematically hijacks and diverts U.S. internet traffic. Trans Telecom Trans Telecom is a state-owned Russian telecommunications company that owns one of the largest networks in the world of fibre optical cables. The company is a full subsidiary of Russian national railway operator, Russian Railways. TTK has been actively connecting broadband users in the retail market since early 2011. In 2017, internet analysts began noticing routing databases picking up TransTeleCom-provided connections for North Korea. North Korea has been blamed by Western governments for several major cyber attacks in recent years, including against banks and Sony Pictures. TransTeleCom would not confirm any routing deal with the country. But, analysts said the connection via Russia was handling around 60 per cent of the country's internet traffic. ISP MainOne MainOne is West Africa's connectivity and data centre. The company provides network, internet solutions and cloud services to providers in Nigeria, Ghana and all of West Africa. Since its launch in 2010, MainOne has developed a reputation for reliable service, becoming the major provider of wholesale internet services to major telecom operators and government agencies. The leak started when the cable company based in Lagos, Nigeria suddenly updated tables in the Internet’s global routing system to improperly declare that its autonomous system was the proper path to reach prefixes belonging to Google. Within minutes, Chine Telecom accepted the route, followed by Russian-based Transtelecom. MainOne has a peering relationship with Google via IXPN in Lagos and has direct routes to Google, which may have led to the leak. On Twitter, BGPmon wrote: 'Appears that Nigerian 'MainOne Cable Company' leaked many prefixes to China telecom, who then advertised it to AS20485 TRANSTELECOM (russia). From there on others appear to have picked this up.' Neither was ready to more definitively pinpoint the cause. On Twitter, MainOne claimed the reroute was caused by an error during a planned network upgrade. The company wrote: 'We have investigated the advertisement of Google prefixes through one of our upstream partners. 'This was an error during a planned network upgrade due to a misconfiguration on our BGP filters. 'The error was corrected within 74mins & processes put in place to avoid reoccurrence.' Yuval Shavitt, a network security researcher at Tel Aviv University, said it was still very possible that Monday’s issue was not an accident, despite the firm's statement. 'You can always claim that this is some kind of configuration error,' said Professor Shavitt, who last month co-authored a paper alleging that the Chinese government had conducted a series of internet hijacks. Professor Woodward told MailOnline that because the hijack caused people's web services to shut down, the incident was likely the result of human error. Similar attacks have previously allowed people to continue using the hijacked service so as not to raise suspicion, though Professor Woodward added that experts 'could not definitively rule out a malicious attack'. Regardless of the source, the leak put the traffic of users into foreign hands, researchers said. The diversion 'at a minimum caused a massive denial of service to G Suite and Google Search' and 'put valuable Google traffic in the hands of ISPs in countries with a long history of Internet surveillance,' ThousandEyes said in a blog post. A Google spokesperson told MailOnline: 'We're aware that a portion of internet traffic was affected by incorrect routing of IP addresses, and access to some Google services was impacted. 'The root cause of the issue was external to Google and there was no compromise of Google services.' HOW CHINA ROUTINELY HIJACKS GLOBAL INTERNET TRAFFIC Researchers reported in October that a Chinese telecoms firms had been hijacking internet traffic on a regular basis. Chris Demchak of the United States Naval War College and Yuval Shavitt of the Tel Aviv University in Israel traced global border gateway protocol (BGP) announcements. They discovered several attacks by state-run China Telecom over the past few years, according to reports in Secure Reading. They found that China redirected traffic between Canada and Korean government networks to its point of presence (PoP) in Toronto for six months in 2016. Internet traffic normally takes a short route which is through Canada, the U.S and then to Korea. Traffic between Scandinavia and Japan was also hijacked between April and May 2017. PoPs manage traffic between all the smaller networks called autonomous systems (AS). China has ten PoPs in North America, but it doesn't allow any foreign country PoPs in their country. The traffic between two autonomous systems are managed with the help of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). BGP hijacks can also occur by mistake if this system is set up incorrectly. Most of BGP hijacking attacks nowadays are the work of government agencies or criminal organizations with access or control of strategically placed ISPs, experts warn. 'Building a successful BGP hijack attack is complex, but much easier with the support of a complicit and preferably large scale ISP that is more likely to be included as a central transit point among a sea of ASs,' the report said. 'China Telecom has ten strategically placed, Chinese controlled internet 'points of presence'4 (PoPs) across the internet backbone of North America.' 'Vast rewards can be reaped from the hijacking, diverting, and then copying of information-rich traffic going into or crossing the United States and Canada – often unnoticed and then delivered with only small delays.' The full findings of the study were published in the Journal of the Military Cyber Professionals Association. The company has offered little additional information. Much of the internet's underpinnings are built on trust, a relic of the good intentions its designers assumed of users. One consequence: Little can be done if a nation-state or someone with access to a major internet provider - or exchange - decides to reroute traffic. Mr Henthorn-Iwane said Monday's hijacking may have been 'a war-game experiment.' The theory was backed by Professor Woodward, who said a global hijack attack could have been carried out by Russia and/or China 'simply to see if they could'. He told MailOnline: 'We all rely on the internet nowadays - why hit a country with bombs and bullets if you can disrupt their web access? It would cause chaos.' Researchers also reported in October that a Chinese telecoms firm had been hijacking internet traffic on a regular basis. Chris Demchak of the United States Naval War College and Yuval Shavitt of the Tel Aviv University in Israel traced global border gateway protocol (BGP) announcements. They discovered several attacks by state-run China Telecom over the past few years, according to reports in Secure Reading. They found that China redirected traffic between Canada and Korean government networks to its point of presence (PoP) in Toronto for six months in 2016.

China unveils terrifying stealth drone equipped with 'anti-radiation' bombs

The Chinese scientists expect it to be in the air by next year and rolled out for mass production in 2022

ByKelly-Ann Mills 12:26, 8 NOV 2018Updated13:12, 8 NOV 2018

A huge unmanned drone capable of launching missiles and bombs has been unveiled by Chinese scientists. The next-generation stealth combat aircraft - CH7 - has an impressive wingspan of 22m and is 10m long. Developed by the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation is has a cruise altitude of 10 to 13km. And it also has the ability to stay in the air for 15 hours, according to the Global Times. The CH-7 can launch weapons such as anti-radiation missiles (ARM), long-distance precision-guided bombs, and more. ARMs are designed to find enemy radio sources and can jam their use, meaning communications on board other aircraft can be targeted and interupted Air-to-air ARMs have also recently been developed by the Russians.

Turkey's "Sea Bandit" Threats Are Indirectly Aimed Against The US

by Tyler Durden Tue, 11/13/2018 - 03:30

Authored by Andrew Korybko via Oriental Review,

Turkish President Erdogan warned against so-called “sea bandits”.

He was speaking in regards to the controversial issue of energy exploration in disputed Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean territories along his country’s maritime borders with Greece and Cyprus, the latter of which is comprised of a northeastern third that declared itself the “Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus” and is only recognized by Ankara. The Turkish leader threatened that his country “will not allow bandits in the seas to roam free just like we made the terrorists in Syria pay”, which strongly implies its intentions to militarily defend it and its ally’s interests against the much weaker forces of Greece and Cyprus, despite the first-mentioned being a “fellow” member of NATO. It’s more than likely bluster at this point, but his eyebrow-raising rhetoric draws attention to some very important trends. The first is that maritime tensions along Turkey’s western and southern peripheries have been heating up, partially due to Israel’s prospective plans to build an “EastMed” gas pipeline connecting the self-proclaimed “Jewish State” with Italy via Cyprus and Greece. Not only could drilling take place off of the divided island, but its internationally recognized government could also receive a windfall of revenue by facilitating this pipeline’s transit across its maritime territory, funds that might be withheld from the northeastern region pending an official resolution of the conflict on Nicosia’s terms. President Erdogan understands just how closely connected the topics of Cyprus’ reunification and its energy geopolitics are, hence why he’s taking such a strong stand at this time in a bid to help his ally gain better negotiating leverage. The second trend that President Erdogan’s polemics seem to address is the increasing sense that his country is being “contained” along its maritime and mainland borders, the first of which was just touched upon while the second deals with the Syrian Kurds and Armenia. It’s well known that Ankara regards the PYG-YPG as terrorists and has militarily intervened against them twice in Syria, while there’s a looming unease that the new pro-Western Color Revolutionary government of Nikol Pashinyan in Armenia might move uncomfortably closer to the US in the coming future. This fear was heightened after US National Security Advisor John Bolton praised the quality of American arms while visiting Armenia late last month, which made some worry that Washington is trying to militarily court Yerevan despite Armenia denying it. Altogether, Turkey’s threats against so-called “sea bandits” lurking in the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean can therefore be interpreted as a reaction against what its government tacitly regards as an ongoing “strategy of tension” all along its maritime and mainland borders. Turkey is beginning to feel like its notional American “ally” is “containing” it despite the incipient rapprochement that the two Great Powers are presently involved in, and it thinks that blustering against what it suspects are the US-backed plans of its Greek and Cypriot neighbors will scare them off and succeed in calling the US’ bluff. The situation is becoming ever more unpredictable and dangerous as Washington and Ankara jostle for influence in the Turkish borderlands, thereby raising the risk of a proxy war by either miscalculation or design.

Finnish PM: Russia Suspected Of Massive GPS Blackout In Finland During War Games

by Tyler Durden Tue, 11/13/2018 - 02:45

On Sunday, Prime Minister Juha Sipila told Yleisradio Oy (Yle), Finland's national public broadcasting company, that large-scale GPS blackouts over northern Finland during Nato war exercises over the past few weeks were intentional and the culprit could be Russia. Air Navigation Services Finland (ANS Finland) issued a warning last week for all air traffic due to massive GPS interruption in the northern region of the country. Norway also posted a similar notice about GPS disruption for air traffic during the NATO exercise. Here is the announcement on Eurocontrol's website: Ivalo airport in Finland’s northernmost region issued a warning of unstable GPS signals last week. The warning was posted as Notice to Airman. “It is possible that Russia has been the disrupting party in this. Russia is known to possess such capabilities,” Sipila told Yle. The war exercise was mainly conducted in Norway but field training exercises extended into the North Atlantic and the Baltic Sea, as well as in Finland, Sweden, and Iceland. About 29 NATO members and partner countries Finland and Sweden participated in the most significant phase of the exercise, the LIVEX, which was held between October 25 and November 07. Finland's participation in Nato's Trident Juncture has been seen as a move that pushes Helsinki, the capital of Finland, towards Washington, a move that has infuriated Russia. "Technology-wise it’s relatively easy to disturb a radio signal, and it’s possible that Russia was behind it,” Sipila said, adding that Russia has the capabilities to do it. ”It’s a message to all parties participating in the military exercise,” he warned. Sipila said GPS jamming poses a severe risk to the commercial aviation industry, it increases the chance of civilian air traffic accidents, and that Finland has prepared to deal with these types of disturbances. Then on Monday afternoon, Moscow dismissed Sipila's claims, according to Reuters. Dmitry Peskov told reporters on a call he had zero information that Russia could have been responsible and said his country was regularly accused of all kinds of crimes, most of which were baseless. While there is no confirmation on who exactly launched the GPS blackout over Finland and Norway during the war exercises, one can certainly get the picture that governments are not telling the public that an electronic warfare battle could be underway (between Russia and NATO), or if that is not the case, then maybe a false flag. No matter who caused the incident, the war drums are beating.

'Unprecedented' Camp Fire's death toll hits record 42 and likely to rise

John Bacon, Jorge L. Ortiz and Kristin Lam, USA TODAY Published 8:25 a.m. ET Nov. 13, 2018 | Updated 12:52 p.m. ET Nov. 13, 2018

Firefighters struggled to contain the most deadly and destructive wildfire in California history Tuesday while mobile coroner's teams combed the incinerated remains of a once thriving town and its environs looking for more victims of the carnage. The historic blaze raging 90 miles north of Sacramento has claimed at least 42 lives, and dozens of people remain unaccounted for. More than 6,400 homes were destroyed by the fast-moving Camp Fire blaze, many in Paradise, a community of 27,000 people. “This is an unprecedented event,” Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea said. “If you’ve been up there, you also know the magnitude of the scene we’re dealing with. I want to recover as many remains as we possibly can, as soon as we can, because I know the toll it takes on loved ones. More search teams, two portable morgue units from the military and cadaver dogs were being brought in Tuesday. The fire had grown to almost 200 square miles and was 30 percent contained, Cal Fire said. Honea identified the first three of the victims of the Camp Fire as Ernest Foss, 65, of Paradise; Jesus Fernandez, 48, of Concow; and Carl Wiley, 77, of Magalia. A mobile DNA lab was set up to identify more victims. "Forecasted low relative humidity and dry fuel moistures combined with steep rugged terrain will continue to impede control operations," Cal Fire warned. While the cause of the fire was being investigated, Pacific Gas & Electric drew scrutiny after telling state regulators that it had been having a problem with an electrical transmission line in the area before the fire broke out. Cal Fire investigators were at the scene of the transmission line Monday. PG&E had no comment. Cal Fire Chief Scott Jalbert, on scene at the Woolsey Fire west of Los Angeles, said drought conditions statewide have made the battles precarious for 8,000 firefighters engaging two fires. "We are dealing with 30-foot brush and grass," he said. "Up in Northern California, they are dealing with 150 foot trees in addition to 30 foot brush. The fuel loading is just tremendous."

California homeowners face ruin after wildfires More: Gerard Butler, Robin Thicke, Shannen Doherty lose homes to fire More: 'We just want to go home': Southern California evacuees seek answers President Donald Trump said he approved an expedited request for a major disaster declaration for the state. "Wanted to respond quickly in order to alleviate some of the incredible suffering going on," Trump Tweeted late Monday. "I am with you all the way. God Bless all of the victims and families affected." The Woolsey Fire has been blamed for two fatalities. More than 400 homes, businesses and other buildings have been destroyed. While the winds were expected to ease in Northern California, stiff winds were still forecast in the south. The winds drive down the humidity, helping turn vegetation to tinder in an area that hasn't seen rain in a month. Relief in the form of precipitation remains a week away, and the winds probably will stay a force into Wednesday, AccuWeather warned. The fire was first reported at 2:24 p.m. Thursday near Woolsey Canyon, east of Simi Valley. Later that day, Edison notified the California Public Utilities Commission that it had experienced an outage two minutes earlier. The location was listed as the Big Rock circuit out of the Chatsworth Substation, also near Simi Valley. "It is only preliminary information," said Edison spokesman Steve Conroy. "It went out of service. We don't know why it went out of service."

Malibu and its environs were hit hard, and Pepperdine University canceled classes at its main campus through next week. Celebrities Miley Cyrus, Neil Young, Gerard Butler, Shannen Doherty and Robin Thicke were among those whose homes were destroyed or damaged. "My heart aches for all those who lost their homes and their lives in California," Butler tweeted. "I was one of the lucky ones, my home was only partially destroyed. A lot of people lost everything and will have to rebuild from scratch."

As Infowars Predicted: Microchip For Buying, Travel Implanted in Hand

For years, we warned that microchips for tracking and identification were coming

Infowars.com - November 12, 2018

Just as Infowars predicted, microchips implanted into employees may soon become reality due to a current trend by European countries. The microchips, which are the size of a grain of rice, are implanted between an employee’s thumb and finger and are used to open “restricted access” doors and to buy lunch from the company cafeteria. A Swedish company called Biohax in in talks with several European countries to implant workers with the chips, with thousands already having gone through the procedure. “In Switzerland, an estimated 4,000 people are implanted with microchips, including about 85 of the 500 people employed by Tui, a travel operator,” reported The Blaze. “Biohax also has bout 800 customers use the chips for travel instead of using a train ticket, according to the report.” Last year, Infowars reported on a state-run Swedish train operator implementing microchips in place of train tickets. Interestingly, when its conductors started scanning people’s chips, their LinkedIn profiles popped up instead of the tickets, which underscores major privacy implications.  In 2014, Infowars reported on how a former DARPA chief was promoting edible microchips that would turn people’s bodies into “biological authentication system for cellphones, cars, doors and other devices.” “This pill has a small chip inside of it with a switch,” said the ex-chief Regina Duncan. “It also has what amounts to an inside out potato battery. When you swallow it, the acids in your stomach serve as the electrolyte and that powers it up.” “And the switch goes on and off and creates an 18 bit ECG wide signal in your body and essentially your entire body becomes your authentication token.” And in 2009, Infowars reposted an article about a prominent Australian academic who warned that “microchips for tracking and identification” would emerge within the next “two or three decades” as part of a trend towards “uberveillance,” a term he coined to describe “all-encompassing surveillance.” “Uberveillance is not on the outside looking down, but on the inside looking out through a microchip that is embedded in our bodies,” Dr. Michael G. Michael told the outlet Ninemsn. Watch Alex Jones talk to another prominent academic about this very issue back in 2013:

Victim identified as Palestinian living in Israel

Victims only found under rubble in Ashkelon an hour after rocket strike

Civilian says he discovered dead man and seriously injured woman after police, firefighters had left the scene; ‘It was a terrible screw-up,’ neighbor says

By Michael Bachner and TOI staff Today, 9:44 am

First responders and police came under censure on Tuesday morning after it emerged that a man and a woman who were in an apartment that was hit by a rocket from the Gaza Strip weren’t found for an entire hour after the attack. The man was killed and the woman was seriously injured when the projectile hit an apartment building in Ashkelon shortly after midnight. The rocket appeared to hit the upper floors of the four-story apartment building, leaving a gaping hole in its side. The man was found dead under the rubble, according to the United Hatzalah rescue service. The woman, also in her 40s, was found in serious condition near the man and was rushed to the city’s Barzilai Hospital for treatment. The man was identified as 48-year-old Mahmoud Abu Asbah, a Palestinian resident of Halhul north of Hebron. The woman wasn’t immediately identified, and neighbors said they hadn’t known the two. The fatality was the first in Israel after a day that saw more than 300 rockets and mortar rounds fired at Israeli communities near the Gaza Strip. The series of massive barrages stretched past midnight Monday and into Tuesday morning, prompting massive Israeli retaliatory strikes in Gaza. According to reports, police and firefighters arrived at the scene shortly after the building in Ashkelon was hit. Within 40 minutes, they located a critically wounded 60-year-old woman amid the rubble on the first floor and took her to the hospital, along with six other lightly injured victims. They then left the area, according to an eyewitness cited by the Haaretz daily. The man and woman were eventually discovered by a civilian, Shlomi Lankry, who came to document the extensive damage and said he found them under a wall that had collapsed. “As I’m photographing the walls and how they collapsed, I hear a noise,” Lankry said, according to Haaretz. “I saw something move, I thought it was a piece of paper. I pulled the paper and realized I was touching the woman’s fingers. I understood there was someone under the ruins. “I began digging with another civilian who joined me, while shouting to people to call Magen David Adom. I dig more and then I see the man’s hand, the woman emerges and I understand the man is already dead,” he said. Lankry said that when he entered the building no police or firefighters were in the area, and speculated that had they stayed, the man’s life could have been saved “This was a terrible screw-up, how were they not found?” said a resident of a neighboring building that was also struck by a rocket. Police said that all of the apartments in the building were checked four to five times, but that the particular unit where the two were located had sustained the most damage “and everything was destroyed.” Ashkelon was hit by several barrages late Monday, with another home also sustaining a direct hit. One person suffered light injuries in that attack. Residents of Ashkelon accused the government on Tuesday morning of failing to adequately protect them from rocket attacks. Bar Damari told Hadashot TV news that her building, like many in the city, has no shelters and that she has nowhere to hide when an alarm sounds. “We’re just waiting for a miracle,” she said. The attacks appeared to taper off after 1 a.m., but resumed in full force in the morning. A rocket hit a yard outside a residential home in one of the communities in the Eshkol region, without causing injuries. Meanwhile, strikes on buildings in Netivot and Sderot caused significant damage and minor injuries to the occupants, and sparked fires in the surrounding area. The rocket attacks, which began with several large barrages on small towns near the Gaza border in the afternoon, have threatened to plunge the restive region into all-out war, casting a shadow over intensive ceasefire efforts. The IDF said dozens of incoming projectiles from Gaza were shot down by the Iron Dome air defense system. Most of the rest landed in open fields outside Israeli communities, but a number struck homes and buildings in cities and towns across the south. In response to the attacks, the Israeli military launched a series of strikes against dozens of targets inside the Gaza Strip, including multi-story buildings housing a Hamas military intelligence center and the headquarters of Al-Aqsa TV. The army also said it targeted three attack tunnels operated by Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the two largest terror groups in the Strip. At least three Palestinians — all claimed by terror groups as members — were killed in the army’s initial strikes and Gaza’s health ministry said early Tuesday that a fourth person succumbed to wounds sustained in a strike the day before. The fourth fatality, 22, was not immediately identified. The attacks began shortly after 4:30 p.m., when terrorists fired a Kornet anti-tank guided missile at an Israeli bus near the border, seriously injuring an IDF soldier who was standing near it. Dozens of other soldiers had previously been on the bus, parked near the Black Arrow memorial near Kibbutz Kfar Azza, and exited moments before the missile struck. On Monday evening, large numbers of IDF tanks and other military vehicles were seen being moved down to the Gaza border on the backs of large trucks. Earlier in the day, before the barrages began, the army also ordered extra infantry battalions to the region. The barrages from Gaza came less than a day after an IDF special operations officer was killed in an operation gone awry that also killed seven Palestinian gunmen in the Strip. Following Sunday night’s incident, the Gaza-ruling terror group Hamas said “the blood of our righteous martyrs will not be wasted.” The renewed clashes dashed hopes that Israel and Hamas would uphold a precarious ceasefire agreement recently brokered by Egypt and the United Nations and supported by Qatar. In light of the barrage from the Gaza Strip, the Israeli military ordered residents of communities near the Gaza Strip to remain inside bomb shelters until further notice. Residents of the cities of Beersheba, Ashkelon and Ashdod were told to stay within close proximity of bomb shelters and protected spaces. A run-off election scheduled for Tuesday in the Hof Ashkelon region was postponed. The military also preemptively canceled school for Tuesday in the Gaza border region and in the central Negev and Lachish regions, including in Israel’s fourth largest city Beersheba. In addition, businesses were ordered closed in the Gaza region, along with government offices, unless they are considered essential, the army said. No large gatherings were allowed in southern Israel on Monday night and Tuesday, it said. In the central Negev and Lachish regions, which are farther from the Strip, businesses are only ordered shut if they do not have a bomb shelter nearby. Government services there were also scaled back. In those regions, located dozens of kilometers from Gaza, only groups smaller than 300 would be allowed to gather on Tuesday, the army said.

400 rockets fired at Israel, IDF hits 150 terror targets in Gaza

Israeli military says 150 targets in Gaza have been hit thus far in response to Hamas attacks, in response to barrage on southern Israel.

David Rosenberg, 13/11/18 07:34

The Israeli Air Force has hit roughly 150 terrorist positions across the Gaza Strip as of Tuesday morning, following the latest wave of 50 strikes. An IDF spokesperson reported that the targets were tied to the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terror organizations. The Hamas targets hit by the IDF in its latest wave of strikes included a terror tunnel in Darj; four compounds used by terror groups in Gaza City, Khan Yunis, Beit Hanoun, and Jabalia; and a position used to launch rockets from Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip into southern Israel. The Israeli Air Force strikes also targeted two Islamic Jihad compounds in Khan Yunis, and compounds used by the terror group in Deir al-Balah and Tel al-Hawa. According to an IDF spokesperson, the airstrikes are still underway at this time. “As of now, the IDF has struck approximately 150 military targets belonging to Hamas and the PIJ [Palestinian Islamic Jihad] terror organizations, including three governmental structures that were used for military purposes. At this time, the IDF's strikes are still ongoing,” the spokesperson said.” Earlier Tuesday morning, the IDF reported that nearly 400 rockets and mortars had been fired from the Gaza Strip into Israel. Approximately 100 projectiles fired from Gaza into Israel were shot down by the Iron Dome missile defense system. One person was killed and another injured when a rocket fired by terrorists operating out of the Gaza Strip slammed into a residential building in the coastal Israeli city of Ashkelon. A 40-year-old man was killed in the attack, with several others injured. In response, the IDF pounded terrorist strongholds across the Gaza Strip overnight, including the Hamas terror organization’s administrative headquarters. IDF jets bombed the building, disguised as the Al-Amal Hotel, which had been used by Hamas as its interior security headquarters for the past four years.

Day 2 - Iron Dome Interceptions of Gaza Rockets Over Ashkelon; Threats to Hit Tel Aviv TODAY!

Category: World News Tuesday, 13 November 2018 03:36

Palestinian Islamic Jihad threatened this morning to hit Tel Aviv with long range missiles. Specifically, PIJ SPOKESMAN: “MY ADVICE TO THE SETTLERS FROM TEL AVIV IS TO STAY NEAR BOMB SHELTERS “

Fighting between Israel and factions from the Gaza Strip (HAMAS, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, etc.) entered Day 2 today, with the Iron Dome air defense systems intercepting dozens of Rockets over Ashkelon, Israel. The morning interceptions came after a a full day of furious rocket and mortar launches from Gaza yesterday. This much more serious fighting began after Special Forces from the Israeli Defense Force, entered Gaza covertly a day earlier, dressed as Palestinian women, with the intent to KIDNAP the top military commander of the Palestinians in Gaza. They botched the mission, got caught, and ended up in a fire fight which KILLED their intended kidnap target and several other Palestinians. (Hal Turner NOTE: While few can blame Israel for trying to capture and de-fang a key military player who has attacked Israel for a long time and refused to negotiate peace, the botched raid serves to strip Israel's status as a "victim." Few people will perceive the Israelis as victims given the circumstances of the past three days. Any public attempt to claim moral high ground due to rockets or whatever is gone this time.) HAMAS and other Palestinian groups began a sharp retaliation against Israel, which included the launching of over 500 Rockets and Mortars from Gaza, impacting several Israeli areas, killing and injuring multiple Israelis. The Israeli Air Force responded to these attacks with heavy air strikes against numerous targets inside Gaza, and the situation has gotten much worse since then. The Hal Turner Radio Show covered these events as they happened all day yesterday. That coverage is HERE. Numerous buildings inside Gaza have been flattened since yesterday. Although a short "lull" in the fighting seemed to take hold around 2:30 AM eastern US time Tuesday, the eerie quiet was shattered with additional Israeli air strikes overnight. The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) has been moving heavy armor via flatbed tractor trailers, toward Gaza since yesterday and as of now, the armor build-up is quite significant. Egypt has tried repeatedly to get the Palestinians and Israelis to de-escalate, to no avail. The Russian Foreign Ministry warned that a full scale military conflict may be in the near future, and pleaded with both sides to backdown, to no avail. Video from this morning shows another large rocket attack launched from inside Gaza, being intercepted by the Israeli Iron Dome system. That video appears below: This rocket launch came after HAMAS fired a Kornet anti-tank missile at a bus which had JUST finished unloading Israeli army troops. The bus was destroyed and HAMAS told Israel "This is a warning. We now have weapons you cannot defend against. Next time, we won't wait for your troops to get off the bus." Moreover, a video of that attack was released by HAMAS, complete with cheesy audio over-dubbed, to mock the Israelis. Here is the brief video showing the missile launch and hit: Among the targets hit by Israel in retaliation yesterday, was the notorious al-Aqsa TV station in Gaza: This conflict is very different in character from all prior conflicts. This one has the very real potential of turning into an actual war, which will drag-in regional players, becoming a regional war, which could then drag-in other players, becoming a World War. This is incredibly dangerous and very serious. UPDATES to appear below . . . UPDATES -- RAW (UNVETTED) Israel security cabinet meeting begins in 15 minutes to discuss the security situation in southern Israel and Gaza. Hamas says it will fire rockets at Israeli towns of Beersheba, Ashdod if Israeli airstrikes on Gaza continue. At least one dead as IAF takes out rocket launching squad moments ago in northern Gaza IDF stating IDF gunboats destroyed equipment used by the naval force of #Hamas to carry out militant activities against Israeli civilians and IDF forces. Israeli politicians are briefing the media that the security meeting that is ongoing will likely declare the current round over if rocket fire stops. There have been no rockets in 90 mins or so 2:35 AM EST -- OOOOPS: Another rocket barrage right now. So much for ceasefire. FLASH -- URGENT -- 3:38 AM EST -- Israeli military are now saying "All cease-fire contacts have been severed. There is no turning back from full conflict in Gaza." Israel Defense Forces have "sent infantry and armored reinforcements to the Gaza border" now confirmed by @Reuters @nytimes (HT Comment: Oh, Gee, a day late and a dollar short, but the legacy media FINALLY begins coverage. YOU got it first, here, yesterday! Stay with us, you'll continue getting it first - and accurately.) NEW . . . 8:48 AM EST -- A foreign diplomatic source tells @haaretzcom: Contacts with the UN & Egypt on a ceasefire did not stop; Israeli official: ‘We are not discussing a ceasefire with them’ Despite the rocket attacks, Israel continues to allow entry of fuel and other materials into Gaza via Kerem Shalom crossing this morning. Rocket lands in kindergarten in Sha'ar HaNegev -- Due to the Home Front Command's instructions, the kindergarten was closed and no casualties were reported. However, damage to property was caused. The Israeli security cabinet is still in session. One of the longest sessions for a long time. Currently around 6 hours in to the meeting. The length of the current session can only have 2 reasons : 1.They are discussing how to handle any possible aftermath than can occur after a massive military response, OR 2.The cabinet is split between those advocating for a massive response and those advocating for a much more smaller (symbolic basically) response. Reports the Gaza factions and security cabinet have agreed to an Egyptian brokered ceasefire. BREAKING: KAN: Gaza factions agree to cease rocket fire by 3:30pm local time 4 sets of incoming rocket sirens in Yad Mordechai and Netiv Haasara. Multiple rocket impacts In Islamic custom this is a time to assess, repair and reload for next attack. NOT a call for peace. UPDATE 9:11 AM EST -- Public speculation that ALL of the goings-on inside Israel the past two days are a "ruse to distract the world's attention from what is ACTUALLY taking place:" Israel is preparing for an attack on the Russian Hmeimim air base inside Syria. Russian military said that Israeli reconnaissance aircraft are trying to locate the S300 at the Khmeimim base in the countryside of Latakia. MORE: On Thursday, 8 November, suitcases filled with $15 Million in cash, were sent to Gaza from Qatar. The cash was allegedly to be used to pay HAMAS government officials salaries in GAZA, which have not been paid in months due to Israel cutting off revenues to HAMAS. Here is a photo of the actual suitcases of cash being transported to Gaza: The cash was distributed on Friday and Saturday. AMERICAN DOLLARS? Why American dollars instead of Qatar Riyals? Or Egyptian Pounds? Or EUROS? Because it is AMERICA that is behind all this trouble. Explained below . . . Rather than altruistically pay the past-due salaries for HAMAS in Gaza, the cash was actually to pay for the rocket barrage attacks upon Israel . . . and worse, the sending of Israeli Special Forces INTO Gaza to "kidnap" the top HAMAS military Commander, was part of the overall plan! The reason those forces were caught WAS PART OF THE PLAN - to cause the reactionary upheaval we've seen for the past two days. QATAR financed this whole thing as part of its PLAN to get a reason for Syria TO BE ATTACKED so as to get QATAR's natural gas pipeline through Syria to Europe! All the key players in this sordid affair, from Israeli officials and high ranking military people, to HAMAS, are getting PAID OFF . . . in American dollars. On Sunday, Israeli troops entered Gaza covertly to try kidnapping a top HAMAS military commander, but got into a firefight and killed him. This lead to the current rocket launches from Gaza. The Israeli troops were caught because it was PLANNED they be caught. It was PLANNED they get into a firefight and even get killed . . . to provide a public spectacle which would cover the overt actions now taking place. The entire series of events was PLANNED . . . meaning the Israeli Forces were betrayed by their own government. The Israeli government sent those men into Gaza KNOWING they were going to be betrayed, caught, fired upon, and perhaps killed . . but did it anyway because it NEEDS a public spectacle reason to attack Syria. Getting Israeli troops killed and then blaming on Iranian actions would provide the reason that average Israeli citizens would need to support Israeli military action against Iran in Syria. The rocket launches from Gaza, are actually a PAID EFFORT to SET-UP IRAN for the issues taking place in Gaza/Israel, and thus justify an Israeli ATTACK upon Iranian assets . . . . inside SYRIA! In order to attack those assets, Israel has to get past the new Russian S-300 missile systems in Syria, some of which are at the Russian Base in Hmeimim . . . which will HAVE to be destroyed. But the DESIRED end result in destroying the Russian base and Iranian assets inside Syria is the exact same goal it has always been: TOPPLE the Syrian government which is the single roadblock to a QATAR GAS PIPELINE through Syria to Europe! Thus, the information now out today is, everything the world is seeing take place in Israel, is a set-up to justify an Israeli attack upon Syria, to remove the Syrian government roadblock for a QATAR gas pipeline to Europe, which was the sole reason the entire Syrian "civil war" was started years ago! Getting that pipeline through Syria would OUST Russia as the main gas supplier for Europe, and THAT GOAL has been and remains the single purpose of US/European efforts inside Syria. They never changed their goal. They never intended to stop the shenanigans inside Syria. It is now, and has been all along, an effort to halt Russia gas supplies to Europe. Hundreds-of-Billions of dollars are at stake EVERY YEAR once that QATAR gas pipeline starts supplying gas to Europe. Of course, there's plenty of money in those hundreds-of-billions to buy off whoever needs to be bought off to make this happen! Russia points out that an Israeli attack upon its bases in Syria would be met with force. That same force can also be used against any "other countries" who attempt to assist Israel, (Read USA & Coalition) and THAT, ladies and gentlemen gets us to war with Russia . . . which seems to be a US/European goal. The entire spectacle of what's taking place in Israel is a ruse. Designed to blame Iran, justify Israeli attacks upon Iranian assets inside Syria, taking Russia out along the way, so those at the top can reap hundreds-of-billions a year from the new QATAR gas pipeline through Syria. How do we know? Because two of the players in this sordid affair used insecure communications that were intercepted. The jig is up. They're caught. One bigmouth in particular screeched in anger on an open line "You told us this would take three years, maybe four. Five at max. We're now going on eight fucking years. Tens of millions of dollars wasted and we're no closer to this than when we started. This is your fucking fault. Either get Russia out of the way and solve this Syria problem or we'll get rid of all of you and get someone who can get it done." According to information I have, very shortly a whole slew of them are also about to be dead -- for what they've done and for what they're trying to do.

LIVE BLOG: Hamas, Israel reach apparent ceasefire after massive flare-up

11/13/2018 12:01:00 PM Updated on 11/13/2018 12:07:17 PM Written by i24NEWS

Palestinian militant groups in the Gaza Strip announced an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire with Israel on Tuesday after a severe escalation of violence threatened to descend into full-blown war. The groups, including Hamas, issued a joint statement saying they would abide by the ceasefire as long as Israel did the same. As of Tuesday evening at 6:30pm local time, there have been no rockets fired for about two hours. This pause in clashes comes after over 24 hours of rockets launched at Israel followed by Israeli strikes on Hamas and Islamic targets in Gaza. A massive missile and mortar barrage from Gaza into Israeli territory beginning Monday afternoon continued throughout Tuesday, with the Hamas militant group vowing that the 400 rockets launched so far would be "just the beginning" if Israel continued to carry out retaliatory strikes in the enclave. Israeli communities adjacent to the Gaza Strip came under near-constant bombardment throughout the day Tuesday as the security cabinet huddled at the military's Tel Aviv headquarters for over five hours of discussions on the situation. The first fatality in Israel was confirmed Tuesday after rescuers pulled the body of a man in his 40’s from beneath the rubble of an apartment building in the city of Ashkelon that sustained a direct missile hit shortly after midnight. Gaza's health ministry said six Palestinians were killed and 23 wounded in Israeli retaliatory strikes against hundreds of Hamas targets the military identified as "key assets" of the group, including a Hamas command center and a television station connected to the group. Two Palestinians killed in the Israeli strikes were identified as members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine militant group and the third as a member of Islamic Jihad's armed wing. Militants in the Strip threatened to extend the range of their rocket attacks if Israel did not halt its retaliation, making direct threats on the cities of Ashdod and Beersheba. Attacks on those cities, with populations of approximately 25,000 and 200,000 respectively, are rare and considered a major escalation. The bombardment drew international condemnation and calls for both sides to de-escalate the situation and salvage Egyptian-led efforts to forge a UN-backed ceasefire. The massive flare-up began on Monday afternoon after an anti-tank guided missile fired from the Gaza Strip hit a civilian bus that had reportedly just moments before been filled with dozens of Israeli troops. One soldier who had been standing outside the bus when it exploded into flames was critically injured. The attack on the bus came on the heels of a clash between IDF special forces and local Hamas fighters during a rare Israeli ground mission inside the Gaza Strip overnight Sunday during which one Israeli soldier and seven Palestinians, including a local commander for Hamas' armed wing, were killed. Hamas had vowed revenge after the clash that erupted during an Israeli special forces operation in the Gaza Strip late Sunday, killing eight people.

13 injured from rocket strikes in southern Israel, November 12, 2018 (Barzilai Medical Center)

Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist groups announced on Monday afternoon that they have begun retaliating for Sunday night’s incident in Khan Yunis by firing dozens of projectiles and mortars at Israeli communities adjacent to the border with the Gaza Strip. “The Zionist enemy bears full responsibility for this insidious aggression and its repercussions,” said a statement issued by the so-called Joint Command of the Palestinian Resistance Factions. “The resistance is capable of reining in the enemy and preserving the integrity of the martyrs and avenging their blood.” According to the statement, the Palestinian “resistance” managed to “defeat” the IDF elite unit that was operating in Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, forcing the soldiers to retreat in a humiliating way. Sources in the Gaza Strip said seven Palestinians were killed in the clash with the IDF soldiers on Sunday night. One of them was identified as Sheikh Nur Baraka, a senior Hamas military commander in the Khan Yunis area. On Monday, thousands of Palestinians attended the funeral of the seven victims, amid chants calling for launching retaliatory attacks on Israel. Hamas’s military wing, the Izzadin al-Qassam Brigades, said that a special Israeli force using a civilian car infiltrated the area east of Khan Yunis late Sunday and assassinated Baraka. In a statement, the Brigades said that its men spotted the soldiers and engaged in a firefight with them. It said that while fleeing the area under aircraft bombings, several others Palestinians were killed. The statement claimed that the Qassam members succeeded in thwarting a major IDF operation that was aimed at dealing a “harsh blow to the Palestinian resistance inside the Gaza Strip.” However, it did not provide further details about the alleged operation. It said that the IDF operation was designed to “create confusion, surprise the Palestinian resistance groups and score a quantitative achievement.” Israel, the statement added, “bears full responsibility for this crime and its repercussions.” Several Hamas officials praised the members of their military wing who clashed with the IDF unit and vowed to avenge the death of the seven Palestinians. Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum described the response of the Brigades’ members as “heroic.” The Palestinian groups, he added, will continue to “confront any Zionist attempt to target our people and their resistance.” Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the second largest terrorist group in the Gaza Strip, also praised Hamas for reportedly thwarting the IDF elite unit’s operation. He said that his group and other terrorist factions will respond to the IDF operation. In Ramallah, the Palestinian Authority condemned what it termed the “ugly crime perpetrated by the Israeli occupation army” east of Khan Yunis. The PA Foreign Ministry said that what happened in the Gaza Strip on Sunday night was a “clear aggression in violation of international law.”

Mob Brutality

By Hal Lindsey

Senator Ted Cruz made a reservation for himself and his wife at a local Washington, DC restaurant. Someone at the restaurant told an Antifa group called “Smash Racism DC” that he would be there. Protestors gathered an hour before Senator Cruz arrived. They sat covertly in the restaurant’s bar area while they waited. As the Senator and his wife approached their table, Antifa sprung its ambush. They chanted, “We believe survivors!” And they kept on robotically chanting those words throughout their attack. Those words, by the way, are almost meaningless. We all believe those we know to be survivors. But the rest of us have to measure evidence when deciding the validity of accusations. Here’s what the group really means with that chant. “We believe all accusers.” But even that’s not entirely true. They apparently do not believe the accuser of Keith Ellison — the first Muslim elected to the US Congress and Deputy Chair of the Democratic National Committee. The protestors were in the faces of the Senator and his wife. They blocked the way, even as the couple tried to quietly leave the restaurant. But, of course, they shouldn’t have had to leave at all. According to the Washington Post, waiters struggled to get the door open for the couple to leave. “Finally, the waiters got the door open, then slammed it shut again as soon as the Cruzes had walked out into the night. The crowd inside whooped. ‘This is what’ll happen to you if you support Kavanaugh!’ a man warned the other patrons as they passed back through the bar.” Smash Racism DC put out a statement later that night. It ended by saying, “This is a message to Ted Cruz, Brett Kavanaugh, Donald Trump and the rest of the racist, sexist, transphobic, and homophobic right-wing scum: You are not safe. We will find you.” This is a violent threat made by violent people to violent ends. Last year, a man with a similar mindset attacked members of Congress practicing for the annual Congressional Baseball Game for Charity. He shot four people, seriously injuring Steve Scalise of Louisiana. Later, Senator Rand Paul was attacked by a neighbor, and beaten within an inch of his life. He had several broken ribs and a damaged lung. Over time, he developed pneumonia in that lung. His wife, Kelley, wrote, “The average person takes 20,000 breaths a day. Since November 3, my husband, Rand Paul, has not taken a single one without pain. He has not had a single night's sleep uninterrupted by long periods of difficult breathing or excruciating coughing.” In recent days, US Senators have been threatened and accosted in the very halls of the US Capitol. A few days ago, a candidate for the Colorado State Senate was shot at while sitting in her vehicle. In Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, and other countries, violence has become a significant factor in elections. And now the United States stands oh-so-close to that same terrible reality. Jesus said the last days would be like the days of Noah and Lot. Genesis tells us that Noah’s time was characterized by violence. We often associate the time of Lot with the prevalence of homosexuality. But it wasn’t just that. It was also a time of violent mobs. Pray for America. And don’t forget to pray for Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, and those other places living under the growing threat of political violence and mob brutality.

Trump: 'Honest Vote Count' No Longer Possible in Florida

By Sandy Fitzgerald | Monday, 12 November 2018 09:01 AM

Florida's election should be called in favor of Republicans Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis, as tensions continue to rise over the state's recount process, President Donald Trump said in a Monday morning tweet. "The Florida Election should be called in favor of Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis in that large numbers of new ballots showed up out of nowhere, and many ballots are missing or forged," Trump said. "An honest vote count is no longer possible-ballots massively infected. Must go with Election Night!" Trump's tweet came during a Fox News "Fox & Friends" segment featuring Olympic Media Managing Editor Katie Frates, who was on the program as a guest and stated that the focus must be on Broward County Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes. "She has had a long, long history of accidents and mistakes," Frates said. "In 2016 she did this to a Democratic opponent, a challenger to Debbie Wasserman Schultz...this woman has a very long history in this county." Further there are issues in Palm Beach County, where Elections Supervisor Susan Bucher said Sunday that there is no way all the county's ballots can be counted before a Thursday afternoon deadline. Frates added that she thinks there may be some "buyers' remorse" from Republicans, as Snipes was brought in to replace a supervisor over claims of improprieties," and Snipes "seems to be following in this exact same trend." "I'm not sure why Republicans didn't focus on this beforehand," said Frates. "She has to go. Brenda Snipes cannot be overseeing anything in any county ever again."

World War 3 ALERT: North Korea’s secret missile bases - and nuclear strike could hit US

NORTH Korea has 13 secret missile bases capable of launching nuclear strikes hitting the United States, a shock report has warned as tensions between Pyongyang and Washington soar.

By Katie Mansfield PUBLISHED: 11:27, Mon, Nov 12, 2018 | UPDATED: 11:45, Mon, Nov 12, 2018

A US think tank says it has identified at least 13 of an estimated 20 undeclared missile operating bases inside North Korea as Donald Trump hopes to persuade Kim Jong-un to give up his nuclear weapons and long-range missiles. In reports released by the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), maintenance and minor infrastructure improvements have been observed at some of the sites, according to researcher Joseph Bermudez, despite the ongoing negotiations to denuclearise the Korean peninsula. In a chilling warning to the West, the sites identified in the CSIS report are scattered in remote, mountainous areas across North Korea, and could be used to house ballistic missiles of various ranges, with the largest believed to be capable of striking anywhere in the United States. Mr Bermudez wrote: "Missile operating bases are not launch facilities, while missiles could be launched from within them in an emergency, Korean People's Army (KPA) operational procedures call for missile launchers to disperse from the bases to pre-surveyed or semi-prepared launch sites for operations." North Korea has not ackowledged any of the sites, and analysts say an accurate disclosure of nuclear weapons and missile capabilities would be an important part of any denuclearisation deal. The report found Sakkanmol, the site closest to the border with South Korea and its capital Seoul, appears to be "active and being reasonably well-maintained." Mr Bermudez wrote: ”North Korea's decommissioning of the Sohae satellite launch facility, while gaining much media attention, obscures the military threat to US forces and South Korea from this and other undeclared ballistic missile bases.” The shock report comes after North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and Mr Trump pledged to work toward denuclearisation at their landmark June summit in Singapore, but the agreement was short on specifics and negotiations have made little headway. Shortly after the summit, Mr Trump tweeted "there is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea." And in a landmark statement, North Korea declared its nuclear force "complete" and halted missile and nuclear bomb testing earlier this year, but US and South Korean negotiators have yet to elicit from Pyongyang a concrete declaration of the size or scope of the weapons programmes, or a promise to stop deploying its existing arsenal. North Korea said it has closed its Punggye-ri nuclear testing site and the Sohae missile engine test facility in May and released images said to be of the site's destruction. Pyongyang also raised the possibility of shuttering more sites and allowing international inspections if Washington took "corresponding measures". Last week, North Korea called off a meeting with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in New York sparking fears of increasing tensions. North Korea state media the resumption of some small-scale military drills by South Korea and the US violated a recent agreement aimed at lowering tensions on the Korean peninsula.

Canada Becoming a Potential Base for Terrorists to Attack the US

11-12-2018 Dale Hurd

OTTAWA and TORONTO – The US and Canada share the longest undefended border in the world. There hasn't been a reason to defend it because there hasn't been a serious threat from either country in a couple hundred years. There is now. Canada is today the happy home of thousands of radical Islamists, ex-ISIS fighters and the Muslim Brotherhood. Their numbers continue to grow, with Islamists infiltrating the Canadian government on several levels. Many Americans assume that all is peaceful and well with their northern neighbor. But security experts here warn that by welcoming radical Islamists, Canada now presents a danger to the United States. Canada as an 'Aircraft Carrier' for Muslim Terrorists to Attack America Terrorism expert David Harris, who worked for Canada's spy agency, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, told us a major attack on the United States by Muslim extremists based in Canada is "only a matter of time." "Many years ago I suggested that many of the Islamist extremists might regard Canada as an aircraft carrier from which to maintain operations against the United States," Harris said. Thomas Quiggin, the author of SUBMISSION: The Danger of Political Islam to Canada – With a Warning to America, believes, "Canada is becoming a foundational sort of place for Islamists of all stripes including the Iranians by the way." Quiggin says Canada is in denial over the terror threat it has created for itself and for its neighbor to the south. And the denier-in-chief seems to be Prime Minister Trudeau. 'Kumbaya': Trudeau's Warm Welcome to Ex-ISIS Fighters "[Prime Minister Trudeau's] actually said in our Parliament that if you are opposed to ISIS fighters returning to Canada it is because you're Islamophobic," Quiggin said. "In other words, it's not them that's the issue. It's your opposing their return that makes you Islamophobic. It makes you racist." Toronto Sun columnist and XM Sirius Canada host Anthony Furey told us, "I think there's the idea that, well, we need to welcome everyone because everyone's wonderful, so Kumbaya. This notion that ISIS fighters are somehow deserving of kind of a respect and a cultural accommodation just as much as anyone else is nonsense." Trudeau's 'Shared Beliefs' with Islamists Trudeau has sent official greetings to Canada's annual 'Reviving the Islamic Spirit' convention and personally attended as a member of Parliament in 2012, even after news reports the event was linked to a group that had funded Hamas. Trudeau told the gathering in his 2015 video greeting, "This is also about celebrating our shared beliefs of fairness, equality, opportunity, and acceptance." Quiggin asks the Prime Minister, "Do you know who you're talking to? And why would you say that you share their values when their values are anti-democratic, anti-women's rights, pro-slavery, pro-stoning of women? I mean, the stuff that's on some of their websites here in Canada is startling." There have been "lone wolf" attacks on the US from Canadian Muslim terrorists since the Quebec-based Millennial bomber tried to cross the border to blow up LAX in 1999. But the Islamist threat in Canada has been played down. The Danforth Attack: Claim of a Cover-up July's attack on the Danforth in Toronto, where two women were killed and 13 injured, has been spun by the police and media as a mental health issue on the part of the gunman. Furey accuses police of a cover-up. "There's been a total cone of silence around the Danforth shooting story," Furey says. "I wrote a feature where I found out that the family statement which said [the suspect Faisal Hussain had] mental illness had actually been put together by a spin doctor, a self-described spin doctor who's associated with the NDP, Canada's left-wing party, and also a Muslim community activist." Much of Canada's mainstream media seems to stand with the Islamists. The Toronto Star announced it was no longer using the name 'the Islamic State' because something so barbaric could not be 'Islamic.' Parliament passed the notorious M-103 anti-Islamophobia motion last year. Critics call it an attempt by the government to silence any criticism of Islamists in Canada. Muslim Growth and Infiltration Islam is today the fastest growing religion in Canada, and Montreal-based Terrorism expert Marc Le Buis says the demographic change because of immigration from the Islamic world is not only profound but dangerous. "I claim that the vast majority of Sunni based Islamic institution in the province of Quebec and also in Canada are Islamist, Le Buis said, "That means they can be nonviolent-based but they will still push to have Sharia." Le Buis says Islamists have infiltrated Canada's government and its security services, in some cases at the invitation of the government. "Police forces such as Ottawa have specifically visited radical preachers in order to recruit them to join the police force at some point or another," Le Buis said. But the government has done more than welcome potentially dangerous Islamists. Quiggin accuses it of funding terrorism, through its financial support of some Muslim groups. Too Late to 'Turn Things Around' And if terrorists based in Canada attack the US, Quiggin won't be surprised. "In the past, I think Canada had a defense, Quiggin said, "We could say, 'Look we tried to get this stuff stopped but we failed. You know it's bad. It happens to everybody.' But if it happens this time we don't have that defense." Le Buis says, "The problem is so advanced and government agencies in charge of our national security are so compromised, that it will be very, very difficult to be able to turn things around."

Anne Arundel police say officers fatally shot armed man while serving protective order to remove guns

By Colin Campbell Colin Campbell Contact Reporter The Baltimore Sun

Two Anne Arundel County police officers serving one of Maryland’s new “red flag” protective orders to remove guns from a house killed a Ferndale man after he refused to give up his gun and a struggle ensued early Monday morning, police said. The subject of the protective order, Gary J. Willis, 60, answered his door in the 100 block of Linwood Ave. at 5:17 a.m. with a gun in his hand, Anne Arundel County police said. He initially put the gun down next to the door, but “became irate” when officers began to serve him with the order, opened the door and picked up the gun again, police said. “A fight ensued over the gun,” said Sgt. Jacklyn Davis, a police spokeswoman. One of the officers struggled to take the gun from Willis, and during the struggle the gun fired but did not strike anyone, police said. At that point, the other officer fatally shot Willis, police said. Neither officer was injured, police said, and neither of their names was released. Davis said she did not know whether anyone else was in the home at the time, and she did not know who had sought the protective order against Willis. The “red flag” protective orders are officially known as emergency risk protection orders, and may be sought by family members, police or others to temporarily prohibit people’s access to firearms when they show signs that they are a danger to themselves or others. The law took effect Oct. 1. A spokeswoman for the Maryland Judiciary denied a request to see any and all requests for protection orders made at the residence on Linwood Avenue, citing the law, which states that anything related to an order is confidential unless the court rules otherwise. Police had come to the house Sunday night to speak with Willis, a longtime resident of the neighborhood, said Michele Willis, who was on the scene Monday morning and identified herself as his niece. She attributed that visit by police to “family being family” but declined to elaborate. She said one of her aunts requested the protective order to temporarily remove Willis’ guns. Michele Willis said she had grown up in the house and had been there Sunday night to move out her son, who had been helping to care for her grandmother. Her uncle, Gary Willis, lived in an apartment above the garage; she said other family members, including her grandmother, another uncle, two aunts and Gary Willis’ girlfriend were also at the home Sunday night. She said her uncle “likes to speak his mind,” but she described him as harmless. “I’m just dumbfounded right now,” she said. “My uncle wouldn’t hurt anybody.” Those who had been in the home were interviewed by police in Crownsville on Monday morning, Willis said. She and other family members stood down the street in the rain while waiting for police to let family members into the home Monday morning — in part to retrieve two dogs and a cat still inside. Willis said the officers should have continued to negotiate with her uncle. “They didn’t need to do what they did,” she said. Anne Arundel County reported 19 such “red flag” petitions in October, tied with Harford County for the most in the state, according to a report on requests made under the new law by Montgomery County Sheriff Darren M. Popkin. The state has reported 114 petitions overall.

Brazen grave robbers have ransacked a pre-Hispanic cemetery in Peru that is up to 5,000 years old and left sacred human remains 'dumped in a pile'

Incident happened in a pre-Hispanic cemetery known as Jerusalen K'uchu

This is a cave in the Combapata district of the Peruvian province of Canchis

Local media report the thieves destroyed the graves to steal the ornaments

Photos show that the human bones and skulls were dumped in a pile

By Phoebe Weston For Mailonline Published: 06:39 EST, 5 November 2018 | Updated: 06:39 EST, 5 November 2018

Brazen grave robbers have damaged an ancient burial site by desecrating the human remains and leaving them dumped in a pile in order to steal ornaments and artefacts. The shocking incident happened in a pre-Hispanic cemetery which could be up to 5,000 years old. The site is known as Jerusalem K'uchu which is in a small rocky cave in the Combapata district of the Peruvian province of Canchis. Local media report the thieves almost completely destroyed the graves in order to steal the ornaments the bodies were buried with. The burial site is reportedly from 'Andean culture', a term used to describe the indigenous peoples of the Andes mountains, often those controlled by the Inca Empire. The oldest known Andean civilisation is The Norte Chico civilisation of Peru dating back to 3200 BC and the Inca civilisation, which arose in the early 13th century. From 1438 to 1533, the Incas controlled a large part of western South America, centred around the Andes mountain range before falling to Spanish conquistadors.

MIT researchers reveal plan for a giant laser 'porch light' in space to make it easier for aliens to find us

Researchers conducted feasibility study for radical plan to contact alien life

A laser focused through a telescope toward space could be used as a beacon

The system could be detected by astronomers as far as 20,000 light years away

Team said it could be made with existing and soon-to-come technologies

By Cheyenne Macdonald For Dailymail.com Published: 14:13 EST, 5 November 2018 | Updated: 14:15 EST, 5 November 2018

A pair of MIT researchers has proposed a radical method for making our presence known in the universe. In a new feasibility study, the team says it could be possible to use laser technology as a beacon to attract the attention of alien astronomers, much like a planetary-scale porch light. Using a laser focused through a huge telescope, the researchers say this ‘porch light’ could be seen from as far as 20,000 light-years away. In a paper published in the Astrophysical Journal, the MIT team describes how a high-powered 1 to 2-megawatt laser could be aimed toward space through a 30 to 45-meter telescope to create a detectable beacon. With this configuration, the infrared radiation from the system would be strong enough for an intelligent species to differentiate it from the sun. Once picked up by extraterrestrials in a nearby system, we could also use this to transmit brief messages, the researchers say. ‘If we were to successfully close a handshake and start to communicate, we could flash a message, at a data rate of about a few hundred bits per second, which would get there in just a few years,’ says author James Clark, a graduate student in MIT's Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics. According to the team, the system could be created with existing technology and instruments that could soon be developed.

New supercomputer mimics human brain, researchers say

By Nicholas Sakelaris Updated Nov. 6, 2018 at 12:07 PM

Nov. 5 (UPI) -- A new supercomputer is able to mimic how the human brain functions, and can perform 200 quadrillion actions simultaneously. The Spiking Neural Network Architecture, or SpiNNaker, went online last week for the first time at the University of Manchester in Britain. The computer can model more neurons in real time than any machine on the planet, developers say. "SpiNNaker completely re-thinks the way conventional computers work. We've essentially created a machine that works more like a brain than a traditional computer, which is extremely exciting," Steve Furber, a professor of computer engineering, said in a statement. The computer can send billions of small amounts of information to thousands of different destinations. Eventually, the computer will be able to model 1 billion neurons at once in real time -- about 1 percent the scale of the human brain, researchers said. The machine puts scientists one step closer to understanding how the human brain works. "The ultimate objective for the project has always been a million cores in a single computer for real-time brain modeling applications, and we have now achieved it, which is fantastic," Furber said. For now, the computer will control a robot named SpOmnibot, a robot that can use the computer's power to interpret real-time visual information and navigate toward certain objects while ignoring others. The original SpiNNaker went online in April 2016 with 500,000 core processors. The latest updated version has twice that many. Among other things, researchers say the system has the potential to help them understand brain disorders. For now, they say, it most closely resembles the brain of a mouse. "If a mouse thinks mouse-sized thoughts and all that is required is enough neurons wired together in the right structure, which is itself a debatable point, then maybe we can now reach that level of thinking in a model running on SpiNNaker," Furber said.

YOU TOO CAN DO THIS DURING “THE SECOND COMING OF THE NEW AGE”—Embracing A Power STRONGER Than The Occult

November 5, 2018 by SkyWatch Editor 

“I shouldn’t have been born. My own mother didn’t want me. There must have been something wrong with me because nobody wanted to raise me, love me, take care of me, let me be their daughter.” Liberty says she grew up with deep feelings of rejection after her mother left her and her brother on their father’s doorstep. “She wanted to party. She wanted to do her thing and she couldn’t do that with two little babies. And so, you know, she just decided to give us up.” After several turbulent years with her father, Liberty moved back in with her mom, who introduced her to drugs and alcohol at a young age. Her mother also exposed her to the occult. Liberty says, “She always had a large bookshelf that was full of witchcraft books with spells, chants, ways to curse people. She had tarot cards, a Ouija board… (READ MORE)  link to CBN news article    All that. Everything –that was normal in my mom’s household.” When Liberty was 14, she had an argument with her mother’s abusive boyfriend and found herself rejected again. She says, “I came home off the bus and there was a box of stuff sitting outside. There was a note that my mom had left that said, ‘He’s in, you’re out. You have to find somewhere else to live.’ This is my reality. My mom doesn’t love me. She never wanted me, she doesn’t care.” She says she found acceptance in the party scene and had relationships with men who gave her a place to stay and supplied her with drugs. “I did whatever I had to do to survive. I was alone. I was lost. The crystal meth and the drinking was very heavy I mean, it was a daily thing. It wasn’t like let’s go party on a Friday night. I mean, it was every single day, drinking, drugs, drinking, drugs. Staying up for days.” She says she also began experiencing strange phenomena and some unsettling symptoms. “I was hearing voices. I was seeing things. I would get up in the night and I would feel like something was speaking to me. And was coming after me. I had sores, little open sores around my body.” A friend’s parents set up a meeting with their Pastor. Liberty reluctantly agreed to see him. “He just said, ‘All these are symptoms of a demonic attack on you, and the only way to deal with it is rebuke Satan in the name of Jesus Christ.’” Days later, she had a terrifying encounter. She says, “These dark images began to just cover the walls and they were like enclosing in on me like they were coming after me. I did what the Pastor said and I rebuked in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. And then the fear was gone. And everything I was feeling was gone. The demons, everything, just disappeared.” Liberty says she learned there was power in the name of Jesus but knew little else about him— until a few days later when she was watching TV and came across The 700 Club. She says, “Pat Robertson says, you know, is there anyone watching by TV that, you know, if you’d like to ask Jesus into your life, pray this prayer with me.’ I just felt like I needed this Jesus that could make demons flee. I don’t have to wait to go to church and be called to the altar. I can just sit right here in my living room and accept Christ, you know.” She surrendered her life to Christ, then fell into a deep sleep. When she awoke, she was in a struggle for her life. She says, “Something was holding me down and not letting me up, not letting me speak. Feeling like a hand was over my mouth. I just began to say, Jesus, I was just trying to get the words out. And I said Jesus, it was very muffled Jesus and I felt like it was at the top of my lungs. And the thing that was covering my mouth was slowly leaving, like letting go. The last thing I yelled was, I rebuke you in the name of Jesus. And at that moment, whatever was holding me down removed itself and then I heard this really loud scream, like an evil, loud, wretched squeal, it sounded like it was leaving. It could no longer reside, because Jesus was now the Lord of my life.” Liberty knew she was free. She began to throw away anything that connected her to the darkness she once accepted as normal. “I knew that the Lord was, basically in that one moment, cleaning up my whole life. He was just like, ‘It’s all going, you’re letting it all go. I’m taking it all away from you. You’re being set free.’ I finally was me. I was never me before. I was never—who’s Liberty, you know? Who’s this girl that was born with no purpose, no value, no reason to live? He took everything out of me and healed me of all the horrible things that the world basically dished out on me. My life has changed forever because of that day.” Today Liberty co-pastors a church with her husband in Arizona, reaching out to people who need to be set free by the love of God. She says, “This is what I’ve been waiting for my entire life. This is what it feels like to know a love that you never got, you never received before. I was born for a purpose. And it’s to serve Jesus Christ and to do His work. He’s the only one who can set you free.”

Watch The Trump Caravan Campaign Ad BANNED by NBC, CNN & Facebook

Mainstream media doesn’t want Americans to see this hard-hitting ad!

Infowars.com - November 5, 2018

A campaign ad promoted by President Trump, which warns of the dangerous migrant caravan plowing its way through Mexico to the US, was pulled by NBC after it ran during Sunday Night Football. “After further review we recognize the insensitive nature of the ad and have decided to cease airing it across our properties as soon as possible,” a statement from NBCUniversal said, according to Variety.com. The 30-second ad held Democrats responsible for the crimes of notorious illegal alien Luis Bracamontes, a convicted cop-killer who bragged about murdering two California deputies, and compared him to the migrant caravan which is said to contain numerous criminals, gang members and Middle Easterners, according to the DHS chief. NBC’s move to ban the ad comes days after CNN made the same decision, claiming the ad was “racist.” “CNN has made it abundantly clear in its editorial coverage that this ad is racist. When presented with an opportunity to be paid to take a version of this ad, we declined,” the network said over the weekend. Facebook has also blocked the ad from its platform the day before the midterm election, claiming it had “sensational content.” “This ad violates Facebook’s advertising policy against sensational content so we are rejecting it. While the video is allowed to be posted on Facebook, it cannot receive paid distribution,” Facebook said in a statement. “When it comes to ads on Facebook, we have a higher set of standards for what can run in an ad.” Youtube has also reportedly shadowbanned the ad, burying the video hundreds of results down, according to Information Liberation’s Chris Menahan.

New York Times Observes Sharia Blasphemy Laws

The Washington Standard / November 6, 2018

Mohammed Hanif, the author of this disgraceful op-ed published Friday in the New York Times, is a Pakistani novelist, and so it is perhaps understandable that he may wish to observe Islamic blasphemy laws, but why is the New York Times, which is supposedly a journalistic outlet in a nation that upholds the freedom of speech, validating his doing so? In it, Hanif writes this about Asia Bibi, the Pakistani Christian woman charged with blasphemy and held in prison for years, and whose recent acquittal touched off nationwide riots in Pakistan: “There are many versions of what led to the charges against her, but all revolve around a verbal altercation with Muslim neighbors in Punjab, an eastern province, about drinking water from the same vessel. Some Muslims won’t share utensils with non-Muslims, a belief that has more to do with (Hindu) casteism than (Islamic) scripture.” And then there is this hadith: “It was narrated that Abu Tha’labah Al-Khushani said: ‘I came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: “O Messenger of Allah, we live in a land of the People of the Book and we eat from their vessels. And we live in a land (where there is) game, so I hunt with my bow and with my trained dog and with my untrained dog.” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “As for what you say about living in a land of the People of the Book, do not eat from their vessels unless you can find no alternative. If you can find no alternative then wash them and eat from them….”‘” (Sunan Ibn Majah 3328) This hadith is graded by Islamic scholars as sahih, or reliable. Was it, too, a product of “Hindu casteism”? When the Muslims invaded and conquered India, they pursued a policy of unremitting hostility toward the Hindus, as I show in detail in my book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS. They were unlikely to pick up theological notions from the Hindus they despised and derided as idolaters. Hanif also says: “We can never know what she may or may not have said because repeating blasphemy is also blasphemy, and writing it down may be even greater blasphemy. So let’s not go there.” Why not? In the United States we don’t have blasphemy laws — at least not yet. Criticizing Islam and even jihad terror will get you smeared and shunned as a bigot and an “Islamophobe,” and deplatformed and refused service, but it is technically not illegal. And contrary to Hanif’s claim, what Asia Bibi said isn’t unknown or hard to find at all. She recounted in August 2013: I, Asia Bibi, have been sentenced to death because I was thirsty. I’m a prisoner because I used the same cup as those Muslim women, because water served by a Christian woman was regarded as unclean by my stupid fellow fruit-pickers. Picking fruit with a group of Muslim women, Bibi was ordered to fetch water for them – and drank a bit of it herself in the stifling heat. A Muslim woman rebuked her for doing so, saying to the other women: “Listen, all of you, this Christian has dirtied the water in the well by drinking from our cup and dipping it back several times. Now the water is unclean and we can’t drink it! Because of her!” Bibi stood up to her, responding: “I think Jesus would see it differently from Mohammed.” That drove the Muslim women into a fury, and they started yelling at Bibi: “How dare you think for the Prophet, you filthy animal!” That’s right, you’re just a filthy Christian! You’ve contaminated our water and now you dare speak for the Prophet! Stupid bitch, your Jesus didn’t even have a proper father, he was a bastard, don’t you know that. You should convert to Islam to redeem yourself for your filthy religion.” The embattled woman stood her ground, responding: “I’m not going to convert. I believe in my religion and in Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for the sins of mankind. What did your Prophet Mohammed ever do to save mankind? And why should it be me that converts instead of you?” For that, she was sentenced to death, held in prison for years, and now mobs in Pakistan are demanding that she be publicly murdered. And the New York Times, instead of standing for the freedom of speech, is validating the blasphemy laws that have destroyed this poor woman’s life.

What We Need To Learn From Venezuelan Crash

You probably have heard about the civil unrest and economic collapse in Venezuela. The footage and stories have been jaw-dropping, to say the least. There are 10,000 citizens crossing the border every day just to get food, water, toilet paper, and medical supplies. They line up before the sun rises and store shelves are bare before noon in some cases. Often when supplies are not available the Venezuelans will riot and destroy property. So what caused all of this? The scary part is that the events leading up to the economic collapse are not all that different from current conditions in the United States. Venezuela was not hit by a hurricane or earthquake. They were not hit with an EMP blast or attacked by a foreign nation. They have not been overrun with terrorist attacks. What has happened is extreme national debt, an overly controlling government, and ridiculous currency manipulation. Sound familiar? In this article, I want to cover lessons we can learn from this foreign disaster. Venezuela may seem like it is worlds away, but there are more similarities to the US than you think. It is not enough for us to stare aghast from a distance and not take action. We must learn from their hardship. Here are lessons we can learn: Hunger Equals Desperation We have all seen the homeless dig through dumpsters outside of restaurants to pick out the fresh food that was scraped off of plates. This is not the type of desperation to which I am referring. Imagine that there were no restaurants. Imagine that there were not wealthy people that could afford to throw out half of the food they fix for their families. Those that had money for food find the shelves empty both within the borders and outside the borders. This is desperation, and this is the reality in Venezuela. Related articles: SELCO—Sometimes I Had Nothing To Eat For Days…Hungry People Are Desperate People Hardcore Realities: How Horrific Will It Be For Those That Fail to Prep People react to desperation differently. How would you feed your family? Some have turned to violence. If you were smart enough or lucky enough to have food for your family, you would also have to be prepared to defend that food. Break-ins and attacks on the street are common. Of course, trash cans and dumpsters are an option, but they are often picked clean. Some people have even taken to hunting cats and dogs in the streets. Rarely do you see true survival in an urban setting, but in this scenario, people must be ready for it. If you live in the country or even in suburban areas, finding wild edibles and meat will be an essential skill. You Cannot Count On Medical Care While most of us have always had the option of calling 911 or driving to the emergency room, this is not a valid option for Venezuelans. The ambulances are either overwhelmed or shut down completely. The electricity and life support machines are out in most hospitals, so doctors are forced to improvise. The Luis Razetti hospital in Barcelona currently looks like a war zone. Most people who attempt to get care are forced to lie in hallways bleeding for days. No food or water is provided at the hospital, and those lucky enough to get a broken down bed must balance to keep it from tipping over. What do we learn from this? When a collapse occurs, those that are prepared will know how to handle their own medical care. Basic first aid such as CPR, how to stop bleeding, mouth to mouth, splinting broken bones, treating fever, and the Heimlich maneuver must be practiced in advance. In addition, medical supplies need to be on hand. Please remember the type of desperation these folks are feeling. Imagine a child in your neighborhood is sick or dying, and their father knows that you have medical supplies. It would be tempting for that man to try and take what is yours. Be ready to defend those supplies. Shortages Will Happen Quickly Many people assume that because an economic collapse takes some time to develop that shortages will also take some time to develop. This was not the case with Venezuela. Within a few weeks of the collapse, products that were most needed had been picked clean. Bread, milk, sugar, and eggs were impossible to find within days. Some stores were able to restock their shelves, but many did not bother because of the looting that took place. Currently, only 15% of the food, water, and medical supplies needed can be obtained within the borders of Venezuela. If this is not a strong argument for prepping, I do not know what is. Those that wait until the collapse to stock up on supplies will be out of luck. Only those that see it coming and build up their supply storage will be able to survive a disaster such as this. Do not wait. Domestic Currency Is Worthless I know it may seem obvious, but not to everybody. When your economy collapses, conventional money is not worth much. Right now bartering is one of the best ways to get supplies or services. Another option is stocking up on gold or silver. These precious metals will always retain their value but become even more valuable when the dollar crashes. In fact, the Venezuelan government has greatly depleted their foreign reserves and has been forced to ship gold to Switzerland to help pay for their debt. This means that preppers should have either precious metals or bartering items on hand before the collapse. Gold and silver are a great option but can be expensive to stockpile. Another option is to think of other items that would be hard to find. Cigarettes and alcohol are items that would be in high demand. Luxury items like coffee and chocolate are also good to keep on hand. Your Diet Will Change As food has become harder to find, Venezuelans have had to make a drastic shift in their diets. Even those that wait in line overnight and are lucky enough to find food have opted for less expensive ways to fill their bellies. The shift has been away from any types of meat, milk, or eggs and more towards grains that provide energy and curb hunger. This has been common in any recession or collapse in history. Bread, rice, beans, and other grains become the bulk of the food supply. One family was quoted as having said that they have eaten no meat of any kind since December. Think about this when you are prepping. If you are fortunate enough to live in the country, hunting, trapping, and fishing are vital skills. Take the time to practice these skills and build up your meat supply in advance. In addition, preserved meat becomes very important. Power outages could shut down your freezer, so making jerky or canning meat could make a huge difference. If you want protein, set yourself up with a meat stockpile in advance. Hygiene Is Difficult Since the collapse has taken place, food, water, and medical supplies are not the only shortages being faced. Basic toiletries are almost impossible to find. Hygiene can greatly affect the health of you and your family, so finding ways to stay clean is important. Soap, toothpaste, toilet paper, and shampoo are the items most difficult to find. If the power goes out then the water pumps will not operate for many people. At one point it was reported that the Venezuelan government was so desperate for toiletries that they were considering trading oil for basic supplies. There are really two options to avoid this situation. You can stock up on these supplies in advance. Thankfully, most of these items are inexpensive and have a long shelf life. The other option is to find alternative methods of hygiene. You can make your own soap or take smoke baths to kill bacteria on your body. If you live in the country you can bathe in creeks or rivers. You can use charcoal or baking soda to brush your teeth. You can even use fabric or leaves to wipe. At many points in history, people used a single rag to wipe and washed it after each use. The more pleasant option is definitely prepping your toiletries. Crime Is Out Of Control Any time that conditions are rough and people are desperate, crime will increase. Some of this crime is general outrage that materializes in the form of riots. The people feel that their country has abandoned them, and they are not happy. These riots have gotten worse as this disaster has continued. Some crime is related to acquiring supplies. This may mean looting or may result in robberies and break-ins. Just in the first quarter of 2016, there were 107 separate cases of major looting in Venezuela, and it continues to get worse. Some of this crime will be due to the rise of the black market. When supplies are not available through normal channels, criminals will always take advantage of the situation. They will steal supplies in bulk and then sell them at a huge markup. Through this process, they will hurt or kill anybody that gets in their way. Drug use and prostitution may increase as people become hopeless. The bottom line is that local police have lost control and people are free to commit whatever crimes they please. The lesson here is that self-defense and security is of utmost importance. Everybody in your family should know how to defend themselves with or without weapons. Your home should be reinforced to prevent intruders, and valuables should be hidden. In an economic collapse, you really need several firearms in your home to defend your supplies and family. In addition, anybody having to leave the house should be armed to prevent a robbery. When desperation sets in, you cannot trust anybody. It is a bit surreal to talk about a collapse like this happening in the United States, but it is very possible. Our government is making all of the same mistakes that Venezuela has made, and it does not intend to change. Without getting too political you can see that the socialist and liberal powers in Venezuela allowed open borders, funded heavy benefits for the poor, controlled currency, relied on foreign aid because of wasteful spending, and allowed corruption. It hits a little too close to home for me. Now the Venezuelan government is forcing people out of their homes into labor camps where they will be forced to work on plantation farms. The unfortunate part of this situation is all the people that suffer and die. It seems that in life, change is almost always motivated by pain. If things in the US go like recent events in Venezuela, we will have plenty of pain to prompt a swift and dramatic change.

Members of the Black Panther Party marched through the city of Atlanta, strapped with assault rifles and brandishing Stacey Abrams campaign signs.

In a video posted on the group’s Facebook page on Saturday, members of the Black Panther Party are seen marching through the West End neighborhood of Atlanta in support of Stacey Abrams gubernatorial campaign. As they marched, the Black Panthers carried assault rifles and continually shouted slogans such as “black power” and “power to the people.” Abrams, a former Democratic state representative, is running in a tight election against Republican Brian Kemp, Georgia’s current Secretary of State. The Real Clear Politics average of recent polls shows Kemp up by 1.1 percentage points, well within the margin of error. The video shows the panthers marching for nearly 30 minutes through the city of Atlanta until they enter a local radio station. When reached for comment by The Daily Caller News Foundation, the Abrams campaign forwarded a statement from spokeswoman Abigail Collazo. Her statement did not specifically address the Panthers’ march, but instead attacked Kemp. “Brian Kemp is the only candidate in this race who has posed for pictures with supporters wearing racist, hate-filled t-shirts and refused to denounce them, while Abrams continues to condemn any racist, anti-Semitic, or otherwise discriminatory words and actions,” Collazo said. “Unlike Kemp, Abrams is a leader committed to running an inclusive campaign focused on bringing all Georgians together to find bold solutions on critical issues like health care, education, and the economy,” she continued. At one point during the march, someone driving a vehicle stopped momentarily to speak to the Panthers. One of the members can be heard saying afterward: “You need to march in your neighborhood. When we was [sic] in West Virginia, 99 percent crackers, stone cold crackers.” Kemp’s campaign called on Abrams to immediately denounce the Black Panthers. “It’s no surprise that militant Black Panthers are armed and patrolling the streets of Georgia for Stacey Abrams. The Black Panthers are a radical hate group with a racist and anti-semitic agenda. They are dangerous and encourage violence against our men and women in uniform,” Kemp spokesman Ryan Mahoney said in a statement to TheDCNF. “Stacey Abrams should immediately denounce the Black Panthers and their hateful record of racism,” he continued. “She should stand against and condemn their attempts to intimidate hardworking Georgia voters just days before the election.” The close race has brought star power from both sides of the aisle. Vice President Mike Pence campaigned for Kemp on Thursday — the same day Oprah Winfrey knocked on doors on behalf of Abrams. The Panthers did not respond to a request for comment by TheDCNF.

California Hit By 39 Quakes In 24 Hours As Scientists Warn Of "Movement Along The San Andreas Fault"

by Tyler Durden Sat, 11/03/2018 - 19:45

Authored by Michael Snyder via The Economic Collapse blog,

A series of large earthquakes has rattled California over the last 24 hours, and scientists are telling us that the shaking was the result of “movement along the San Andreas Fault system”. In recent months there has been an alarming amount of seismic activity all along “the Ring of Fire”, and there have been times when the number of global earthquakes has been way above normal. Could it be possible that all of this unusual seismic activity is leading up to something? As you will see below, experts are telling us that we are overdue for the “Big One” to hit California. And when it does eventually strike, it could be far worse than most people would dare to imagine. Most of the 39 significant earthquakes that have struck California within the last 24 hours have happened along the San Andreas Fault. The following comes from CBS News… A swarm of earthquakes along the San Andreas Fault, the largest measuring a 4.1 magnitude, rumbled through the Hollister area and the Salinas Valley Friday morning. CBS San Francisco, citing officials, reports the quakes rattled nerves but caused no major damage. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the 4.1 quake hit at 5:58 a.m. PDT 12 miles southwest of the small community of Tres Pinos. It was followed by quakes measuring 3.6, 3.2 and 3.0. Officials are saying that this shaking was caused by “movement along the San Andreas Fault system”, and the initial magnitude 4.1 quake was quickly followed by a series of more than 20 aftershocksAfter a magnitude 4.1 earthquake struck 12 miles from Hollister at 5:58 a.m., more than 20 aftershocks rattled the area in the following hours. The smaller quakes registered as high as 3.6 magnitude and were felt as far away as Monterey and Santa Cruz. When you live in an area that sits along a major earthquake fault, it can be easy to forget the potential danger if nothing happens for an extended period of time. But the danger is always there, and for many California residents the rattling that we witnessed on Friday was a clear reminder of that fact. Thankfully, these earthquakes did not cause substantial damage, but local residents were definitely shaken up… One in Hollister said: “Was asleep, felt like someone was shaking the bed.” Another resident in Monterey Bay expressed concern that recent quakes could indicate a major earthquake – commonly known as the ‘Big One’ – could be on the way. They wrote: “Been feeling a lot of tremors the last several months. “The Hayward Fault is overdue and coming to thump. Any time now. It’s definitely coming relatively soon.” Hopefully this current shaking will fizzle out and things will go back to normal. But experts tell us that California is definitely overdue for a major earthquake and that “the Big One” will happen at some point… Experts say California is overdue for a huge earthquake with some warning a major magnitude 7.0 is likely within the next 30 years. A 2008 report by USGS described the Hayward Fault, which runs to the east of San Francisco, as a “tectonic time bomb” which could threaten the city’s seven million residents. And when “the Big One” does strike, it could potentially be far worse than most people have ever imagined. In a previous article, I quoted from a news story about a recent study that concluded that a major earthquake could potentially “plunge large parts of California into the sea almost instantly”... The Big One may be overdue to hit California, but scientists near LA have found a new risk for the area during a major earthquake. They claim that if a major tremor hits the area, it could plunge large parts of California into the sea almost instantly. The discovery was made after studying the Newport-Inglewood fault, which has long been believed to be one of Southern California’s danger zones. When I first read that, I was absolutely stunned. But according to Cal State Fullerton professor Matt Kirby, there is a very strong possibility that this could actually happen someday… Cal State Fullerton professor Matt Kirby, who worked with the Leeper on the study, said the sinking would occur quickly and likely result in part of California being covered by the sea. “It’s something that would happen relatively instantaneously,” Prof Kirby said. “Probably today if it happened, you would see seawater rushing in.” The fact that our planet is entering a time of unprecedented seismic activity has been a major theme in my work for a very long time, and I am particularly concerned about the west coast. Just a few weeks ago, there was some unusual shaking farther north along the Cascadia Subduction Zone, and I anticipate that the shaking of coastal areas will continue to intensify until things finally break loose. And the truth is that we can see signs of impending change all around us. Down in southern California, a “moving sinkhole” is now traveling up to 60 feet a day, and it is “destroying everything in its path”… It is the beginning of the San Andreas fault, where experts fear ‘The Big One’ could begin. But a small, bubbling pool of mud that stinks of rotting eggs near the Salton Sea is causing concern. Dubbed ‘the slow one’, experts studying the phenomenon say it is similar to a ‘moving sinkhole’ – and is speeding up, destroying everything in its path. Imperial County officials studying the muddy spring say it has has been increasing in speed through – first 60 feet over a few months, and then 60 feet in a single day. Of course this is not just a west coast phenomenon. We have been witnessing unusual seismic activity all over the world, and it has become very clear that our planet is becoming increasingly unstable. Natural disasters are going to continue to grow worse and worse, and that is going to have extremely serious implications for all of us.

Nearly 80 Children Abducted From A School In Cameroon

November 5, 20184:07 PM ET Laurel Wamsley

Authorities say at least 78 children and their principal were kidnapped from a school by armed men in northwest Cameroon late Sunday night. The children were taken from a Presbyterian school near the city of Bamenda, which is at the center of an Anglophone separatist movement. On social media, a video purporting to show some of the students was released by a group of separatists called "Amba boys," after Ambazonia, the name they have given the independent, Anglophone state they hope to establish, according to The Associated Press. The video reportedly shows some of the boys being forced to state their names and those of their parents. The video has not been verified, but the AP reports some parents wrote on social media that they recognized their children. "We shall only release you after the struggle. You will be going to school now here," the men say, according to the news service. In a statement, Amnesty International strongly condemned the kidnappings. "The abduction of schoolchildren and teachers can never be justified," said Samira Daoud, the organization's deputy regional director for West and Central Africa. "Whoever is responsible must release and return the victims immediately. We express solidarity with the families of these children and demand that the Cameroon authorities do everything in their power to ensure all the pupils and school staff are freed unharmed." Most of Cameroon is French-speaking, while the country's western portion is populated by English speakers. The Anglophone regions have frequently erupted into violence since late 2016, when a number of English-speaking lawyers protested that a newly passed law wasn't translated from French. The demonstrations grew, with one particular source of ire being schools that are staffed by government-sent teachers with poor English. The tensions have their roots in the country's independence era. "Cameroon was colonised by Germany and then split into British and French areas after World War One," the BBC explains. "Following a referendum, British-run Southern Cameroons joined the French-speaking Republic of Cameroon in 1961, while Northern Cameroons voted to join English-speaking Nigeria." The integration was not a smooth one, and the Anglophone minority complains of marginalization by the Francophone majority. Hundreds have been killed in violence in the country in the past year, the AP reports. Last week, an American missionary was fatally shot in the head while in his car, apparently caught in crossfire between government soldiers and armed separatists in Bamenda. Many incidents of violence have targeted schools in the region, according to a June report from Amnesty International that states: "A widely followed boycott of schools was in place since late 2016, but since early 2017, school administrators and teachers perceived as not enforcing the boycott have faced increasing attacks by individuals and groups of individuals, acting on their own or in support of self-proclaimed armed separatist groups. Between February 2017 and May 2018, for example, at least 42 schools in the regions were attacked, including 36 that were damaged by arson attacks, 11 damaged by other types of attacks, as well as two school buses burnt down and various harassments and attacks on students and teachers. At least three teachers were killed during the same period and two school principals kidnapped." Cameroon disposed of its presidential term limits a decade ago, one of many Central African nations to modify or eliminate them. President Paul Biya has been in power since 1982. The 85-year-old just won his seventh term in an election that the BBC reports was "marred by low turnout and voter intimidation." Turnout in the English-speaking regions reportedly may have been as low as 5 percent. NPR Africa correspondent Ofeibea Quist-Arcton contributed to this report.

This Battered Women’s Shelter Is Being Investigated For Turning Away A Drunk, Injured Man

A battered women's shelter in Anchorage, Alaska, is being investigated because it didn't allow a drunk man to sleep in the same room as women.

November 2, 2018 By Bre Payton

A battered women’s shelter in Anchorage, Alaska, is being investigated by the city’s Equal Rights Commission because it didn’t allow a drunk man, who came to the shelter after hours and was bleeding from an injury, to sleep in the same room as women. Attorneys speaking on behalf of the Downtown Hope Center have repeatedly stated this man, who identifies as a woman, was not turned away because of his gender, but was sent to a hospital that night in January to get the medical treatment he needed. Shelter officials even paid for his cab fare to ensure that his wounds could be treated in a timely fashion. Yet the commission is investigating the shelter’s actions, arguing that it violated a city ordinance that was amended in 2015 to include a prohibition on discrimination based on “sexual orientation and gender identity to the grounds of discrimination.” The Hope Center serves meals, gives away clothing, and offers job skills to both men and women during the daytime hours, but at night offers a space for women, many of whom have suffered from sexual and physical abuse at the hands of men, a safe space to spend the night. Attorneys at the Alliance Defending Freedom, which is representing the faith-based women’s shelter, say the ordinance specifically exempts shelters from having to comply with the amended version of the ordinance, which means the Hope Center has not broken any laws. “It should go without saying, but protecting vulnerable women isn’t illegal,” ADF Senior Counsel Kate Anderson said in a statement. “Because the center hasn’t violated any law, we are asking the court to stop the city from continuing its baseless attack on this remarkable and needed outreach to homeless, battered, and sexually exploited women.” In August the Hope Center filed a federal lawsuit against the city and on Thursday, the attorneys representing the shelter filed a motion in federal court seeking an injunction to stop city officials from misapplying the amended ordinance.

Satan-Worshipping Girls Arrested, Allegedly Planned to Kill Classmates, Drink their Blood

By Michael W. Chapman | November 2, 2018 | 5:54 PM EDT

Two girls, ages 11 and 12, were arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit murder and possession of a weapon on school property on Oct. 23 at the Bartow Middle School in Florida. The girls allegedly planned to kill at least 15 of their classmates, drink their blood and eat their flesh, according to the police, as reported by ABC Action News in Tampa Bay and the Washington Post. “They noted that they wanted to kill at least 15 people and were waiting in the bathroom to find smaller kids that they could overpower to be their victims,” Bartow Police Chief Joe Hall said at a press conferrence. “I believe that these two small children -- I’m going to call them small children, they are only 11 and 12 -- seriously sat down and plotted to do bodily harm to another student at school.” The two girls apparently planned their attack over the weekend of Oct. 20-21. Among messages the girls sent to each other, the final one read, "Today is health lessens thank Satan we're doing this in a bit," according to a police report. On Tuesday, Oct. 23, the girls took two knives, a knife sharpener, scissors, a pizza cutter, and a glass goblet with them in their backpacks to school. After school started, however, a robocall was sent to one of the girls' mother inquiring why her daughter was not in school. The mother then called the school and said her daughter should be there. School authorities contacted police and shortly thereafter the girls were located in a bathroom where they apparently were hiding and waiting for a potential victim. They were taken to the principal's office. Once there, police discovered the weapons in the girls' backpacks. The two girls then "admitted to planning to kill students as they entered the bathroom," ABC Action News reported. "When asked about motivation, the girls reportedly told police that they were Satan worshipers," reported ABC Action News. "According to police, the girls planned to drink their victims’ blood out of the goblet they were found with. They also discussed eating their victims' flesh and leaving body parts at the school's entrance before killing themselves." According to the arrest affidavit, "Killing all of these students was in hopes it would make them worse sinners ensuring that after they committed suicide ... [they] would go to hell so they could be with Satan." In a Facebook statement, Bartow Police Chief Joe Hall said, "I understand that the recent news of a plot to kill students at Bartow Middle School is troubling. In fact, it shook me to my core when I was notified of it. However, I want to make it clear that your children are our most precious citizens here in the City and we do everything we can, every single day to make sure our children are safe. "I am very proud of the staff at Bartow Middle School and my staff at the Police Department for thwarting this plot from becoming a tragedy. There are several measures in place to make sure our children are safe and that ALL threats of violence are addressed. In this isolated incident, these protocols worked. I believe in these protocols and we will continue to follow them. "Remember, if you see something, say something. It worked in this incident." In addition to the conspiracy and weapon charges, the two girls were charged with disrupting a school campus. According to ABC Action News, the girls were still in police custody on Oct. 25. They reportedly will be expelled from the Bartow Middle School. Please support CNSNews today! [a 501(c)(3) non-profit production of the Media Research Center]

Ben & Jerry's Serves Up Anti-Semitic Resistance

The ice cream company supports leaders tied to infamous anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan.

Culture Beat · Nov. 2, 2018

How does ice cream become controversial? Well, sprinkle in some progressive politics and, voila, you get a batch of Ben & Jerry’s. The Vermont ice cream maker has long been known for its owners’ leftist political leanings, which is ironic given that the company has thrived on the principles of free-market capitalism. But who ever said lefties were consistent? Ben & Jerry’s recently trotted out a new flavor aimed at tickling the taste buds of its favorite customers: Trump haters. “Today we launch Pecan Resist!” the company proudly announced. “This flavor supports groups creating a more just and equitable nation for us all, and who are fighting President Trump’s regressive agenda.” The company noted that its new flavor would help support organizations “working on the front lines of peaceful resistance,” including the Women’s March. Interestingly, the three prominent leaders of the Women’s March all have ties to Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, one of the world’s foremost purveyors of Jew hatred. Not only that, but Linda Sarsour, the most well-known of the Women’s March leaders, has herself frequently expressed anti-Semitic views. “We’re comfortable with the idea that the people and the causes we partner with may have a point of view different from our own on some issues,” Ben & Jerry’s said in a statement. “They can be controversial, just as we can. Linda may not agree with everything we’ve done. But the work that she has done to promote women’s rights, as co-chair of the Women’s March, is undeniably important and we are proud to join her in that effort.” This rank anti-Semitism doesn’t seem to bother Ben & Jerry’s, though. After all, Donald Trump, perhaps the most pro-Israel president in our nation’s history, must be resisted by any means necessary. Like what you just read?

Coachella Valley serial killer found dead in prison

Prison officials investigating death of Urdiales

By: Brooke Beare Posted: Nov 05, 2018 03:51 PM PST Updated: Nov 05, 2018 07:20 PM PST

SAN QUENTIN, Calif. - Convicted serial killer Andrew Urdiales, 54, was found dead by correctional officers during a security check Friday evening at San Quentin State Prison, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation officers announced Monday afternoon. His death comes less than a month after the former U.S. Marine was sentenced to death for the murders of five women in Southern California, including three women in the Coachella Valley. A news release Monday said that staff found Urdiales "unresponsive" in the Adjustment Center. "Correctional officers performed CPR. Urdiales was pronounced dead at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 3." Urdiales was previously sentenced to death of the murders of three women in Illinois. In October of this year, an Orange County jury found Urdiales guilty of the first-degree murders of Robbin Brandley, 23, in 1986, at Saddleback College in Mission Viejo; Maryann Wells, 31, on Sept. 25, 1988, in San Diego; Julie McGhee, 29, on July 17, 1988, in Cathedral City; Tammie Erwin, 20, on April 16, 1989, in Palm Springs; and Denise Maney, 32, on March 11, 1995, in Palm Springs. Authorities said Urdiales was in the cell by himself and although his cause of death is pending, his death is being investigated as a suicide. On Sunday, Virendra Govin, 51, was also found dead in his cell. CDCR officials do not believe the deaths were related. Govin was sentenced to death in 2004, for the first-degree murders of four people in Los Angeles County.

Vegas Oddsmaker Predicts GOP Upset

Wayne Allyn Root Posted: Nov 05, 2018 12:01 AM

This is my final column before the midterm election. So, this former Vegas oddsmaker turned national political commentator has a few predictions and common sense observations to make. Back in 2016 I predicted a Trump victory when no one else did. Every poll showed Trump would lose by a wide margin. Nate Silver of the NY Times predicted Hillary’s chances of winning at 92%. These pollsters make their living by polling actual human beings. I don’t. So how did I know? Simple. First, size matters. You could see it in the rallies. Trump would attract eight hour lines and 10,000 or more attendees at wild, intense rallies all over America. I should know. I was opening speaker for six Trump campaign events here in Las Vegas. Meanwhile Hillary was attracting 100 to 200 attendees at a rally here in Vegas. I could fit Hillary’s rallies in my living room. The same story held true across America. That was my first reason for realizing Trump was going to pull a huge upset that few saw coming. Part Duex was also simple. Trump was “the whisper candidate.” Everywhere I went, people whispered in my ear, “I’m with you. I’m for Trump.” They wouldn’t tell pollsters. They wouldn't put up yard signs. No bumper stickers on their car. No mention of their support of Trump around the office watercooler. But they whispered to me. The pollsters never had a chance. Don’t look now, but it’s all happening again. Nate Silver says Democrats have a 80%+ chance of winning the House. Cook Report says Democrats will win the House by 40 seats. All the experts say it’s over- Democrats will win. I'll go out on a limb and disagree again. I see Florida Democrat Governor candidate Andrew Gillum holding a rally with Bernie Sanders and the whole place is empty. Barack Obama could not fill a high school gym in Milwaukee. I witnessed firsthand Joe Biden and Obama at separate events here in Las Vegas playing to small crowds. Meanwhile I was opening speaker for President Trump’s event in Las Vegas last month- with 10,000 waiting in line for hours in a place where no one cares much about politics. This is a phenomenon. Does that sound like the GOP is losing 40 seats? Dream on delusional Democrats. Then there’s “the whispers.” Nothing has changed. Trump has fulfilled almost all of his campaign promises. He is the only politician in history who did exactly what he promised. And those same voters are whispering to me again- they love Trump now, more than ever. Then there’s common sense. The Trump economy is BOOMING. The latest results are out- 250,000 more jobs last month, far above what was expected. The lowest unemployment in half a century. The number of Americans employed is the highest EVER. Almost 500,000 new manufacturing jobs under Trump. The kind Obama claimed would never happen again. 1000 new manufacturing jobs a day last month- the best results since the 1990's.

As you can clearly see the evil in the world is almost fifty-fifty, my word has shown you that before, so that should not be a surprise.  For I have said that two shall be standing in the field and one shall go and one shall remain, that is fifty-fifty, and it has got to that place, that also means that the end is very, very near.  So you will still have half of the world that desires to do evil and half of the world that desires to do good, but only about thirty percent are true Christians. etc.

Manchin: ‘It Took Every Bit of My Discipline Not to Beat the Living Crap Out’ of Republican Opponent

Manchin's comments echo rhetoric from other Democrats during this campaign cycle

Sen. Joe Manchin / Getty Images BY: Elizabeth Harrington November 3, 2018 5:35 pm

MARMET, W.Va.—Democratic incumbent Sen. Joe Manchin (D., W.V.) said he wanted to "beat the living crap out of" his Republican opponent during their debate, at a campaign rally in Marmet. "You might have seen the debate the other night," Manchin said. "I want to tell you something." "It took every bit of my discipline not to beat the living crap out of them," he said to cheers from the audience of several dozen Democrats, gathered at the George Buckley Community Center. "Here's what I'm thinking," Manchin continued. "You don't come to someone's state. You don't come in here and not knowing who we are and just be spewing out horrible things. Every other word was trust, liberal, trust, dishonest, and I'm thinking, ‘Trust?' Here's a man who ran for Congress, Patrick Morrisey ran for Congress in New Jersey in 2000. He ran in the primary and got beat, only got 9 percent of the vote. Who trusts who?" Morrisey grew up in Edison, N.J. but has served as West Virginia's attorney general since 2013. Manchin's comments echo rhetoric from other Democrats during this campaign cycle, including Eric Holder, who said "When they go low, we kick them"; Hillary Clinton, who said "civility can start again" when Democrats are back in power; and Rep. Maxine Waters (D., Calif.), who said there can be "no sleep, no peace" for members of Trump's cabinet, and urged harassment at restaurants, gas stations, and department stores. Morrisey responded to the comments on Twitter, calling Manchin "so-called Mr. Civility." The Democratic event started off much like the Trump rally, with a prayer, the pledge of allegiance, and singing of the national anthem. Manchin, who is in a closer than expected re-election race, is making 12 more campaign stops in the last two days of the election all across the state in an effort to stave off Morrisey. Manchin said close to $50 million has been spent in the race between him and Morrisey, and "that is sinful, it truly is." Healthcare was his central issue of the event, and called the late Sen. John McCain an "American patriot" for putting his thumb down and voting no on the Republican effort to repeal Obamacare in the Senate. "Nine years they say replace and they've got nothing to replace it with," Manchin said of the Republicans. Manchin mentioned Donald Trump once, when he said the president has come to West Virginia eight times to campaign for Morrisey. Someone in the crowd said, "too many." Manchin said Trump's rallies, which included a gathering of 6,000 at the Huntington Tri-State Airport Friday, cannot "cover up or hide" Morrisey's record.

4 in 10 College Students Say It Is OK to Disrupt a Speaker on Campus, Survey Finds

Tristan Justice / November 02, 2018

An overwhelming majority of American college students say they support the First Amendment, yet more than 4 in 10 think it’s OK to disrupt a speaker on campus. That’s according to findings released Thursday from the 2018 Buckley Program Survey sponsored by the William F. Buckley Jr. Program at Yale University. The survey shows that 79 percent of undergraduate students said the First Amendment’s protections for free speech need to be respected and followed, yet 41 percent said it was appropriate to shut down or disrupt a speaker on campus. The survey also found that one-third of undergraduates justified physical violence to stop a speaker from using so-called “hate speech” or from making racially charged comments. Jonathan Butcher, a senior policy analyst at The Heritage Foundation’s Center for Education Policy, said that while disturbing, the survey’s results are not surprising. “These results are similar to the findings from other surveys released earlier this year, and it’s frightening to think that students think it’s OK to disrupt an event or use the ‘heckler’s veto,’” Butcher said. Large majorities of undergraduate students also support school policies that place limits on speech. Nearly 6 in 10 college students said their school should forbid speakers from campus who have used “hate speech” in the past. In addition, 62 percent of students said social media companies should censor “hate speech” by deleting users who have engaged in it. Butcher said public officials bear some of the responsibility for fostering a campus climate friendlier to free speech practices under the First Amendment: Public college officials and state policymakers need to demonstrate for students that the sort of behavior described here—shouting at someone so they cannot be heard or otherwise preventing them from expressing themselves—won’t be acceptable once students leave campus, and so these actions cannot be accepted now. Zach Greenberg, an attorney at the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, an organization that focuses on free speech issues in higher education, agrees that university officials need to do more to create a better environment for the free exchange of ideas. “FIRE urges universities to clarify that the use of force to silence speech is not an exercise in free speech—it’s censorship,” Greenberg said. “Educational institutions must make clear that drowning out, shouting down, and assaulting those expressing differing opinions is an unacceptable response to offensive speech.” The Buckley survey also found majorities of students who reported feeling uncomfortable sharing opinions in class that differed from peers and professors. Fifty-three percent of students said they often felt intimidated about sharing their ideas, opinions, or beliefs in class because they were different from those of their professors. Fifty-four percent said so because their opinions were different from those of their peers.  “These survey results present a troubling, but unsurprising, picture of attitudes toward free speech,” said Buckley Program founder and Executive Director Lauren Noble. “A majority of students should not feel intimidated in sharing their views in the classroom. It’s also unfortunate that college campuses—which could be leaders in bringing people together around fundamental values—are just as polarized and divided as the rest of America,” she said. Spencer Brown, spokesman for the Young America’s Foundation, a conservative nonprofit youth outreach organization, said the survey results confirmed what the foundation has been arguing has been happening on college campuses for years. There is an “institutionalized anti-conservative bias” taking over the country’s academic institutions, he said. “The finding that more than 50 percent of students are afraid to share ideas that contradict or challenge a professor shows the damage wrought by the left’s decision to abandon colleges as sites of learning,” Brown said. What’s most troubling is an apparent fundamental misunderstanding of the First Amendment among college students. For 79 percent to believe that the First Amendment ought to be followed and respected is great, but with roughly 40 percent saying it’s appropriate to shut down speech they find disfavorable, shows the First Amendment these students believe in [is] just the left’s version of free speech, not the freedom protected by the U.S. Constitution. The survey is the program’s fourth annual poll commissioned to study student attitudes on free speech, intellectual diversity, capitalism and socialism, and social media, among other topics. The survey was conducted by McLaughlin and Associates, a nationally respected polling firm, and questioned a nationally representative population of 800 undergraduate students.

Notorious Antisemite Louis Farrakhan Leads ‘Death to America’ Chant on Solidarity Trip to Iran

avatar by Benjamin Kerstein

Nation of Islam leader and prominent antisemite Louis Farrakhan led chants of “Death to America” and claimed that “America has never been a democracy” on Sunday during a solidarity trip to Iran, ahead of the re-implementation of US sanctions on the country this week. According to Iran’s semi-official state news agency Mehr, Farrakhan said at a meeting with the Secretary of Iran’s Expediency Council Mohsen Rezaei that America is conspiring against Iran. “I understand how the enemies have plotted against the Iranian people and I would like to stay alongside you to stop their plots,” he said. He also blasted American support for Saudi Arabia, Iran’s arch-rival in the region, and added, “Satan seeks to divide Muslims and wants them to kill each other, while God tells us in the Quran to be united.” Farrakhan has referred to Jews as the “synagogue of Satan.” In his remarks, he condemned the new American sanctions on Iran that will take effect on Monday. “Today, I warn the American government that sanctioning Iran is a big mistake,” he said. In addition, he stated that African-Americans are part of Iran’s Islamic revolution. According to Iranian news outlets, including Tasnim News Agency and Islamic Republic of Iran News Network (IRINN), he also spoke to students at the University of Tehran law school and fulminated against Israel, praised women’s rights in Iran and the Islamic laws demanding they cover themselves. He claimed, “America has never been a democracy and has always leaned towards the wealthy and powerful class.” At the end of his talk, Farrakhan led the chanting of the common Iranian refrains “Death to Israel” and “Death to America,” and was joined by members of the audience. Farrakhan, perhaps the most notorious black supremacist in America, has a long history of antisemitic statements. Most recently, he referred to Jews as “termites.” Several prominent American activists and politicians have been linked to Farrakhan in recent years. Tamika Mallory, a leader of the Women’s March, praised him as “GOAT” or “Greatest of All Time,” and served as a national organizer of his 2015 “Justice or Else” rally. Linda Sarsour, another leader of the March who participated in the “Justice or Else” rally, has likewise praised Farrakhan and repeatedly refused to condemn him. Illinois Democratic Representative Danny K. Davis said of Farrakhan, “I don’t regard Louis Farrakhan as an aberration or anything, I regard him as an outstanding human being who commands a following of individuals who are learned and articulate and he plays a big role in the lives of thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of people.” Recently, a photograph surfaced of former President Barack Obama meeting with Farrakhan in 2005 while he was a senator.

Saudi Arabia's crown prince has launched a project to build the first nuclear research reactor in the kingdom, the Saudi Press Agency reported. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, also known as MBS, launched seven strategic projects in renewable energy, atomic energy, water desalination, genetic medicine and the aircraft industry during his visit to King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology on Monday.

The kingdom is considering building 17.6 gigawatts (GW) of nuclear capacity by 2032, the equivalent of about 17 reactors, making it one of the biggest projects globally. According to Reuters news agency, Saudi Arabia is aiming to reduce the amount of crude it burns at home to generate electricity to allow it to sell more of it overseas. If the kingdom proceeds with the plan, it would become the second Gulf Arab state to launch a nuclear power project after the United Arab Emirates, which is building four South Korea-designed reactors.

Update: Crews believe they found plane's wreckage 100 feet underwater

by Karen Zatkulak Wednesday, October 31st 2018

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — A massive search effort has identified the possible seabed location of the crashed Lion Air jet, Indonesia's military chief said Wednesday, as experts carried out the grim task of identifying dozens of body parts recovered from a 15-nautical-mile-wide search area and chilling video of passengers boarding the fatal flight emerged. The 2-month-old Boeing plane plunged into the Java Sea on Monday just minutes after takeoff from Jakarta, killing all 189 people on board. "This morning I've been briefed by the head of Search and Rescue Agency about the strong possibility of the location coordinates" of Flight 610, said armed forces chief Hadi Tjahjanto. "We're going to see it ourselves on location. And hopefully that is the main body of the plane that we've been looking for." Separately, the head of the National Transportation Safety Committee, Soerjanto Tjahjono, said that search teams had detected pings believed to be from the aircraft's flight recorders, whose data is crucial to the accident investigation. The disaster has reignited concerns about safety in Indonesia's fast-growing aviation industry, which was recently removed from European Union and U.S. blacklists, and also raised doubts about the safety of Boeing's new generation 737 MAX 8 plane. Boeing Co. experts are expected to arrive in Indonesia on Wednesday and Lion Air has said an "intense" internal investigation is underway in addition to the probe by safety regulators. Navy officer Haris Djoko Nugroho said the 22-meter (72-foot) long object that could be part of the fuselage is at a depth of 32 meters (105 feet). He said divers will be deployed after side-scan sonar has produced more detailed images. He said it was first located on Tuesday evening. "There are some small objects that we found, but last night, thank God, we found a large enough object," he said. Data from flight-tracking sites show the plane had erratic speed and altitude in the early minutes of a flight on Sunday and on its fatal flight Monday. Safety experts caution, however, that the data must be checked for accuracy against the plane's black boxes, which officials are confident will be recovered. Several passengers on the Sunday flight from Bali to Jakarta have recounted problems that included a long-delayed takeoff for an engine check and terrifying descents in the first 10 minutes in the air. Two interviewed on Indonesian TV recalled details such as a strange engine sound, a smell of burnt cables, and panicked passengers crying out for God to save them as the plane rapidly lost altitude. Later in the flight, a man who was either the captain or first officer walked through the plane and returned to the cockpit with what looked like a large manual. Lion Air has said maintenance was carried out on the aircraft after the Sunday flight and a problem, which it didn't specify, was fixed. Officials said the non-stop search effort has sent 48 body bags containing human remains to police identification experts. Anguished family members have been providing samples for DNA tests and police say results are expected within 4-8 days. Musyafak, the head of Said Sukanto Police Hospital, said nearly 150 samples for testing have been collected but more are still needed, especially from parents and children of victims. Indonesian TV broadcast a smartphone video of passengers boarding Flight 610, its mundane details transformed into unsettling moments by knowledge of the tragedy that would transpire. It showed passengers' boarding passes being checked and people walking along a concourse and then down stairs with bright red and white Lion Air jets visible on the tarmac. At one point, the passenger who shot the video, Paul Ferdinand Ayorbaba, zooms in on the flight number on his boarding pass. A part of the video shows passengers walking up the mobile boarding stairs attached to a Lion jet. "My husband sent that video to me via WhatsApp. It was his last contact with me, his last message to me," said Inchy Ayorbaba, interviewed at the Jakarta police hospital where she'd taken her three children for DNA tests. The messaging app's timestamps showed the video was sent about 35 minutes before the plane took off, said Ayorbaba, who first saw the message at 6.30 a.m., some 10 minutes after the plane departed, and then went back to sleep. Indonesia's Transport Ministry has ordered all Boeing 737 MAX 8 planes operated by Lion Air and national carrier Garuda to be inspected. Lion has ordered 50 of the jets, worth an estimated $6.2 billion, and currently operates nine. Boeing declined to comment about potential inspections globally. The aircraft manufacturer told airlines in a bulletin, "Boeing has no recommended operator action at this time," according to two people familiar with the matter. Lion Air's President Edward Sirait told The Associated Press that timing of a meeting with Boeing experts is still uncertain. Daniel Putut, a Lion Air managing director, said Tuesday evening the airline hopes to meet with Boeing officials on Wednesday afternoon. "Of course there are lots of things we will ask them, we all have question marks here, 'Why? What's the matter with this new plane,'" Putut said. The crash is the worst airline disaster in Indonesia since an AirAsia flight from Surabaya to Singapore plunged into the sea in December 2014, killing all 162 on board. Indonesian airlines were barred in 2007 from flying to Europe because of safety concerns, though several were allowed to resume services in the following decade. The ban was completely lifted in June. The U.S. lifted a decadelong ban in 2016. Lion Air, a discount carrier, is one of Indonesia's youngest and biggest airlines, flying to dozens of domestic and international destinations. It has been expanding aggressively in Southeast Asia, a fast-growing region of more than 600 million people.

Khashoggi murder: Turkey gives official details of Saudi writer's death

31 October 2018

Turkey has given its first official statement on how it believes Saudi writer Jamal Khashoggi was killed, saying he was immediately strangled. The statement follows weeks of media reports about the murder at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on 2 October. Turkey has yet to provide evidence. Chief prosecutor Irfan Fidan said meetings with his Saudi counterpart this week led to "no concrete results". Saudi Arabia has not commented on the meetings. The Turkish statement said: "In accordance with plans made in advance, the victim, Jamal Khashoggi, was choked to death immediately after entering the Consulate General of Saudi Arabia." His body was then dismembered and destroyed "again, in line with advance plans", it added. The Jamal Khashoggi story so far Who is the journalist that disappeared? Jamal Khashoggi in his own words Khashoggi, a Saudi national working for the US press, was a well-known critic of his home country's rulers. His body has not been found, but Turkey, the US and Saudi Arabia have all agreed that he was killed at the consulate. There is still no consensus on how he died.  What happened in the latest meetings? Turkey said it had put three main questions to the Saudis during the prosecutor's visit: Where is Khashoggi's body? Do they have any new information about the planning of the killing? Who was the "local co-operator "? An unnamed Saudi official previously told Reuters news agency that Khashoggi's body had been rolled in a rug and given to a "local co-operator", who disposed of it. On Wednesday, the delegation responded the questions in writing, according to Turkey. Saudi Arabia said the answers could only come from a joint investigation. It also noted that it had never given an official statement on the existence of a "co-operator". What has Turkey said? Turkey has steered away from publicly blaming Saudi Arabia for the killing. However, a senior spokesperson from the ruling AK Party said on Wednesday that it could not have been carried out without orders from someone in a senior position. Saudi Arabia denies its royal family was involved. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan spoke to Saudi King Salman last week, and the two agreed to continue co-operating in the investigation. Unnamed Turkish officials have previously told media outlets that they had audio and visual evidence to prove their accounts of the writer's death, but nothing has been released. Turkish media have published details on how sources say Khashoggi was killed, including allegations he was tortured. His Turkish fiancée, Hatice Cengiz, gave a tearful interview to local television last week, saying she would never have let her partner enter the consulate if she had thought that the "Saudi Arabia authorities would hatch a plot" to kill him. He had entered the consulate to sort out documents for their marriage. What has Saudi Arabia said? Attorney General Sheikh Saud al-Mojeb met Mr Fidan twice, visited the consulate and spoke with Turkey's intelligence agency during his visit to Istanbul this week. He flew back to Saudi Arabia on Wednesday without making an official statement. Saudi Arabia has changed its account of what happened to Khashoggi. When he first disappeared, it said Khashoggi had walked out of the building alive. It later admitted he had been murdered, saying the killing was premeditated and a result of a "rogue operation". Saudi Arabia has subsequently said that Khashoggi was murdered, and that it is "determined to find out all the facts". It has arrested 18 suspects, who, it says, will be prosecuted in Saudi Arabia. Turkey wants the suspects to be extradited. What do other countries say? Saudi Arabia has faced backlash over the death, including from its allies, who have called for answers. President Donald Trump has said he is "not satisfied" with the Saudi account. However, he also said he was unwilling to sacrifice lucrative arms deals with the country. Meanwhile, US activists have launched a petition, calling for a section of road near the Saudi embassy in Washington to be renamed Jamal Khashoggi Way. On Wednesday, France's foreign minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said Khashoggi's death was a "crime" and "odious". He said France was not "dependent on our economic relations with Saudi Arabia" and the country would impose sanctions, but no details were given. UK Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt also said it was an appalling act, adding that it had "possibly" given the US and the UK a chance to put new pressure on Saudi Arabia over other issues. Earlier in the day, the US called for a swift cessation of hostilities in Yemen, where a Saud-led coalition has been fighting local Houthi rebels.

Israel is not looking to topple Hamas in Gaza, official admits

Israel reportedly approaches several Arab countries to see if they would be willing to assume control of Gaza in a post-Hamas era but all have declined • Official: With no one to replace Hamas, launching a military campaign in Gaza at this time is futile.

Ariel Kahana, Nikki Guttman and Yehuda Shlezinger

Despite continued attacks, Israel is refraining from launching a broad ‎military operation in the Gaza Strip and toppling its ‎Hamas regime due to a lack of a better alternative, a ‎senior Israeli official revealed Monday. The official revealed further that Israel has reached out to several Arab ‎countries to inquire whether they would be willing to assume ‎control of the coastal enclave in a post-Hamas era, but all have ‎refused. ‎The official did not name the countries that Israel reportedly approached. According to the official, Israel has only two choices in confronting the violent border riots, which began in Gaza seven months ago, and the arson terrorism campaign involving firebomb kites and balloons launched from Gaza into Israel – "seizing control [of ‎Gaza] and handing power over to a third party or ‎continuing to deal [Gaza] painful blows. "If there were someone to whom we could hand control ‎‎[of Gaza], we would do it [launch a military ‎operation] in a way that minimizes casualties, but ‎no one wants it," he said, adding that "an operation ‎in Gaza has to have clear purpose and objectives. ‎With no one to replace Hamas, launching such an ‎operation at this time is futile." Also Monday, Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman lashed out at members of the Diplomatic-Security Cabinet who criticized his policies, saying they are "held captive by misguided concepts, and we all know where these misguided concepts can lead us. Anyone who thinks that making a deal with Hamas is the answer is wrong." As tensions mount along the Israel-Gaza Strip border, several ministers have harshly criticized Lieberman, calling his recent remarks endorsing a harsh military campaign against Hamas "nothing but empty threats." Lawmakers have repeatedly slammed Lieberman for not presenting the cabinet with a concrete plan for a military campaign, saying his bellicose rhetoric included nothing but pandering to his constituents.  Meanwhile, dozens of residents of Gaza-vicinity communities blocked the Kerem Shalom cargo crossing in protests against Israel allowing goods into Gaza despite the growing border violence. One protester told Israel Hayom that "while we were there we counted over 100 trucks that went in, carrying cement and sand. That's not humanitarian aid – that's delivering hundreds of tons of ‎equipment for Hamas' terror tunnel enterprise." Another protester said, "We feel that the situation ‎is only getting worse and no one is really doing ‎anything to find a solution."‎

Angry mob on left shows hate for America

Posted: Oct. 29, 2018 10:15 am

To The Herald-Whig: First, let me clarify one point: I differentiate between liberals and leftists. Liberals disagree with conservatives on policy and how to run the country and, yes, they will do just about anything to get their way. But they don't hate their country. Leftists hate America and everything it stands for. President Trump was spot on in his Kansas City speech when he said you don't give a book of matches to an arsonist, and you don't give power to an angry left-wing mob. And what we are increasingly seeing on the streets of America is an angry, American-hating, Socialist, anti-constitution mob that is hijacking the liberal movement. And this attack from every direction, 24 hours a day, by the angry mob and their co-conspirators in the mainstream media is funded by Socialist and new world order advocate George Soros and the many anti-American, anti-constitution organizations Soros finances via MoveOn.org. Perhaps the greatest danger from the leftists has been their attack on people of faith. In 1956, Congress made "In God We Trust" the official motto of the United States. Of course, that's had the anti-God crowd tied in knots. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that this action did not violate the Constitution. Congress did not make displaying the motto on public buildings mandatory, keeping the original unofficial motto "E Pluribus Unum," or "Out of Many One," which was made part of the Great Seal of the United States when the country was founded. This will probably come as a surprise to the anti-God crowd, but nowhere in the Constitution will you find the words separation of church and state, although leftists would have us believe they are there. What the First Amendment does clearly state is that the government shall not establish a national religion, thus the term establishment clause. At the time the Constitution was written, the Founders were thinking of one state religion in particular -- the Church of England, established by King Henry VIII, which led to years of bloody conflict between Protestants and Catholics. In other words, the Founders did not want a country that was free from religion but the freedom of its citizens to practice whatever religion they choose. It is time for good people of faith, be it Christian, Jew, Muslim or any other faith, to stand together against the angry mob. William Mussetter      Quincy

Trump Didn't Start the Fire

By David Prentice October 31, 2018

"It was always burning, since the world's been turning." Apologies to Billy Joel. But Trump really didn't start this fire of incivility. Nor did he ever preach violence. Or racial animosity. Or economic injustice. He doesn't roll that way. Never has. Never will. He fights. Hard. But the characterization and narrative of him being unfit, racist, and violent is absurd. Don't tell that to your leftist friends and their biased media allies. They want you to believe that Trump did start the fire. All the fires. Not only did he start them, but he's responsible for everything the left perceives as wrong with our world. Everything. If you're a leftist, and particularly a media leftist, think of what you've blamed him for. It's a staggering list. A list of deceit from the left that may never end. Treason with Russia, sexually assaulting numerous women, starting fights; he's racist, misogynistic, hates immigrants, cheats on his taxes, cheated in business, uses the presidency to enrich his family and companies. He incited the pipe bomb violence and the synagogue murders. Start with número uno: Trump colluding with Russia to steal the election from Hillary. A more deceit-filled, stupid narrative may never have been pushed by the Democratic media slaves. Ever. Yet it's still alive after two years of nonstop coverage and proclamation. It's like the return of the living dead. It never stops coming – even though there is zero evidence of any such collusion happening. Zero. Yet the geniuses in our leftist media will never admit there is no evidence. Jake Tapper, Joe Scarborough, and Rachel Maddow have gotten richer off this giant fake scandal than any con man ever could have. They reported it daily, breathlessly implying treason, a stolen election, an unfit president, a man for no seasons. Rumor has it there was a video of Trump telling a Russian official to go tell Putin that after the election, he would have more latitude to do what Russia wanted. But CNN and our leftist media could never find it. Oh, wait. That was the video they never played because Obama was caught saying that on a hot mic. As to the rest of the list, it was all made up as well; none of these things has any evidence to back it up. The media meme they wanted us all to believe: orange man bad. They have pretended there is a new scandal virtually every week, making it up out of thin air. Often, they recycle them. Nope. Trump didn't start the fire. The elite leftist Democrat-media-NeverTrump complex did. And those within it did so in a manner that has virtually destroyed their credibility, their minds, perhaps their souls. Recall if you will the many "journalists" and "news organizations" who made the claim they would not do objective coverage of Trump because he was so "dangerous." According to them, they saw a man so vile, so crude, so extreme, so awful, and so disastrous in his thinking that they would not give him the benefit of fair coverage. This was an assault led by the so-called paper of record, by one Jim Rutenburg on August 7, 2016. It became the default position of our leftist media. Recall if you will the Sea Island Conference, where the tech lords, many major media figures, and a host of NeverTrumps met on a posh Georgia island in order to stop Trump from going farther. Recall the day after the election, when the NYT actually apologized to its readers, and the nation, for being so biased and so awful with its lack of correct journalistic practice. Quote the Times: "[We will] rededicate ourselves to the fundamental mission of Times journalism. That is to report America and the world honestly, without fear or favor." Heh. Anyone who believed that needs a share of my expensive bridge. Ninety-two percent negative in the face of a great, ascending economy, and some of the most monumental foreign policy achievements in the past 40 years. Do you remember the video some brave person released showing Google execs and some underlings lamenting the election of Trump? We could have called it "The Day After." The video was as embarrassing as that movie. My take: a bunch of self-serving, self-unaware tech nerd millionaires with propellers on their heads whining about what more they could have done, and about how they would have to suck it up and be even more dishonest. So dear leftists. Dear media malaprops. Dear tech lords. Dear Democrat ick Party. Trump didn't start the fire. You did. You and your vileness. You and your self-proclaimed elite smarts. Your self-projection of superiority. Your pretense of smug self-righteousness. Recapping, consider Donald Trump's opponents. The Republican establishment. The bloated Hillary machine. The fake news old media. And, of course, the tech lords and their platforms. Let me add: these tech lords went from "Don't Be Evil" to (I paraphrase) "Let's use our power and money to further the (evil) leftist agenda" in less than a decade. They were, and are, all in with the destruction of Trump. They are all in for the destruction of center-right thinking. The current tech giants are embarrassing, using their power in a way far worse than Microsoft ever did. They are getting away with it right in front of our eyes. Their hubris has no end. It's too bad George Gilder's new vision of a world without Google can't come more quickly. Let's hope they are reined in before they do irrevocable harm to the U.S. and the world. Coming back to the point, in order to win, Trump had to fight all these giants. Big, ugly, powerful giants. He won. He beat them all. It's one of the true electoral miracles of our time. As if God decided He would intervene. A lot of us on the center-right pitched in. Enough of us joined the Trump train early on. And he keeps on winning. Thank God. He was clearly the right choice. He didn't start this rancor, but he sure fought all the right people to a standstill. Many of them have ruined their own lives, professions, and reputations. While Trump helps amazingly good things happen for our country in spite of them, they keep lighting fires. No, these are not Trump's fires; these are the fires of the left. They manufacture outrage to regain power. The left's ugliness is unprecedented in these times. Leftists' blaming Trump and the center-right for everything is sick. It's been an epic battle to watch as Trump builds things while they try to burn them, as Trump extinguishes one flame after another while they blame him for the fires they set. When the smoke finally rises, like Churchill, Trump will be seen as one of the great men and movers of his times.

NOTABLE EXCERPT FROM ONE OF DR. THOMAS HORN’S CHAPTERS IN “PETRUS ROMANUS” REGARDING FATHER MALACHI MARTIN’S CLAIMS IN “WINDSWEPT HOUSE” THAT THE VATICAN WOULD BECOME AN INSTRUMENT OF ANTICHRIST’S “NEW WORLD ORDER” – IS IT UNFOLDING NOW?

October 23, 2018 by SkyWatch Editor

PARTIAL CHAPTER BY THOMAS HORN EXCERPTED FROM PETRUS ROMANUS:

As far back as 200 AD, the Christian apologetic work Octavius by Marcus Minucius Felix described apostate Christians participating in orgiastic rituals in a dark room while worshiping the head of a donkey and sacrificing a baby for the Host during Black Mass. Most experts believe similar activity has secretly continued throughout the ages, and that true “Hosts”—that is, the bread and grape wine used after consecration, which is, according to dogma, changed into the literal substance of the Body and the Blood of Jesus Christ via transubstantiation—are given by Catholic priests, who have made diabolical pacts with Satanists, to the attendants of the Black Sabbath. Among highly placed Church experts who assert such activity is real and even occurs inside the leonine walls of the Holy See would be: Monsignor Luigi Marinelli (whose 1999 book Gone with the Wind in the Vatican sold one hundred thousand copies in just the first three weeks); exorcist and Archbishop Emmanuel Milingo, who in a speech at the Our Lady of Fátima 2000 International Conference on World Peace, charged high-ranking members of the Church hierarchy of being in league with “Satan”; and the late exorcist and maverick professor of the Pontifical Biblical Institute, eminent Catholic theologian and former Jesuit, Malachi Martin. When the Manhatten magazine “The Fátima Crusader” asked Martin about the public alarm raised over Archbishop Milingo’s claim that high-ranking Vatican officials were “followers of Satan,” Martin replied, “Anybody who is acquainted with the state of affairs in the Vatican in the last 35 years is well aware that the prince of darkness has had and continues to have his surrogates in the court of St. Peter in Rome.”[i] While a few have tried to discredit Martin by claiming that he was everything from a double agent for Jewish lobbying groups during Vatican II (to effect the final draft of Nostra Aetate, which would, among other things, absolve the Jews of the death of Jesus) to maligning him as an outright “pathological liar” (which the dead cannot defend themselves against), Malachi was in fact a close personal friend of Pope Paul VI and worked within the Holy See doing research on the Dead Sea Scrolls, publishing articles in journals on Semitic paleography, and teaching Aramaic, Hebrew, and Sacred Scripture. In 1965, Paul VI granted Martin a dispensation from his Jesuit and priestly duties, and Martin moved to New York, where he dedicated himself to writing about—and sometimes speaking out on—a variety of issues stemming from the Second Vatican Council, to detailed insider accounts of papal history, Catholic dogma, and geopolitics. As a member of the Vatican Advisory Council and a formidable polyglot who could speak seventeen languages (not to mention being personal secretary to renowned Jesuit Cardinal Augustin Bea), Martin had privileged information pertaining to secretive church and world issues, including the Third Secret of Fátima, which Martin hinted spelled out parts of the plan to formerly install the dreaded False Prophet during a “Final Conclave.” On this, Martin’s claim that an Illuminati-Masonic group made up of Western plutocrats called “The Assembly” or the “Superforce” had infiltrated the highest levels of Vatican administration and were working to bring about a New World Order, may have led to involvement by operatives of the same group concerning his untimely (some say “suspicious”) death in 1999. This raises questions as well about John Paul I, who was elected pope in 1978 but who died only thirty-three days later (33 is an occult masonic marker). Shortly after becoming pope, John Paul I learned of cardinals, bishops, and high-ranking prelates that were Freemasons. He may have been murdered to keep him from exposing these men’s plans and/or to deter an investigation he had launched into the Vatican bank connected with Roberto Calvi, a Grand Orient Freemason and the Chairman of the Ambrosiano Bank, which the Vatican Bank was primary shareholder of. When in 1978 it was discovered that monies had been illegally laundered for the Mafia through that bank, Calvi fled Italy and three days later, the Bank’s shares crashed. One day after that, Calvi’s secretary conveniently committed suicide, and on June 18, Calvi himself was found hanging beneath the Blackfriar (connected to Freemasons) Bridge in London with a Masonic Cabletow around his neck and chunks of masonry (left as a symbol?) in his pockets. John Daniel says of this in Scarlet and the Beast: “At Masonic ritual murders, Masonic symbols are left at the scene for several reasons: (1) to show Masons that this was a Masonic murder; (2) to warn Masons to follow the Masonic code, or suffer like fate; and (3) to prove to Masonic paymasters that the “hit” was accomplished.”[ii] But was John Paul I, like Calvi may have been (and like Malachi Martin infers in Windswept House), murdered by a Masonic “Superforce” too large and too powerful for him to contain; one that Martin would later claim was behind the scenes, secretly working to use the Vatican to bring about a global Antichrist system? “Suddenly it became unarguable that now… the Roman Catholic organization carried a permanent presence of clerics who worshipped Satan and liked it,” wrote Martin. “The facts that brought the Pope to a new level of suffering were mainly two: The systematic organizational links—the network, in other words that had been established between certain clerical homosexual groups and Satanist covens. And the inordinate power and influence of that network.”[iii] Ten years before something “pulled his feet” out from under him while he was preparing for an exorcism and Malachi Martin fell and later died (at the time he was working on what he promised would be his most explosive book yet under the telling title: Primacy: How the Institutional Roman Catholic Church became a Creature of The New World Order), he had become increasingly outspoken about pedophilic Satanism at the heart of the Vatican throughout the College of Cardinals and all the way down to local parishes, which he said were in league with a secret Masonic diabolicus that began following the “enthronement of the fallen Archangel Lucifer” in the Roman Catholic Citadel on June 29, 1963. This horrid rituale, as Martin had called it, had two primary objectives: 1) to enthrone Lucifer as the Prince over Rome; and 2) to assure the sorcerous inception and embodiment in flesh of that immaterial spirit that would fill Petrus Romanus. In The Keys of This Blood: The Struggle of World Dominion, Martin had written: Most frighteningly for John Paul, he had come up against the irremovable presence of a malign strength in his own Vatican and in certain bishops’ chanceries. It was what knowledgeable Churchmen called the “superforce.” Rumors, always difficult to verify, tied its installation to the beginning of Pope Paul VI’s reign in 1963. Indeed Paul had alluded somberly to “the smoke of Satan which has entered the Sanctuary”…an oblique reference to an enthronement ceremony by Satanists in the Vatican.[iv] Martin concealed even greater detail of this luciferic “enthronement ceremony by Satanists in the Vatican” in his book, Windswept House: The Enthronement of the Fallen Archangel Lucifer was effected within the Roman Catholic Citadel on June 29, 1963; a fitting date for the historic promise about to be fulfilled. As the principal agents of this Ceremonial well knew, Satanist tradition had long predicted that the Time of the Prince would be ushered in at the moment when a Pope would take the name of the Apostle Paul [Pope Paul VI]. That requirement—the signal that the Availing Time had begun—had been accomplished just eight days before with the election of the latest Peter-in-the-Line.[v] The specific date given by Martin—June 29, 1963—and the combination of the specific names Peter (whom the Pope is successor of in Catholicism) and Paul, is important. June 29 is the Feast or Solemnity of both apostles, Peter and Paul. This is a liturgical feast in honor of the martyrdom of both Saints and a holy day of obligation in the universal Church in which the faithful are “obliged” to participate in mass. Among other things, this means on this specific date a perfectly timed sacrilegious parody of the Catholic mass was completed during the Enthronement of the Fallen Archangel Lucifer (which occultists know would hold high satanic energy) as well as simultaneously an offense made against the martyrdom of Peter and Paul during the Church’s Feast in their names. Martin stated publicly on more than one occasion that this enthronement of Lucifer in Rome was based on fact, and that to facilitate the black magic, a parallel ceremony was conducted simultaneously in the United States in Charleston, South Carolina. The reason this location was selected has remained obscure to many, but given what Malachi said about the Masonic connection, it makes sense that South Carolina was chosen: It is the site of the first Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite Freemasonry in the United States, called “the Mother Lodge of the World,” where in 1859, champion of luciferian dogma for the Masonic-Illuminatus, Albert Pike became Grand Commander of the Supreme Council, where he served the Order of the Quest until his death in Washington DC on April 2, 1892. Pike was known as a Satanist in his adopted state of Arkansas and loved to sit naked in the woods astride a phallic throne while participating for days in drunkenness and debauchery. Today, his body is proudly entombed at the House of the Temple, headquarters of the Southern Jurisdiction of the Scottish Rite Freemasonry in Washington DC. According to the logic of former Sirhan Sirhan attorney, Day Williams, this makes Charleston, at the thirty-third parallel, even more perfect for the sacrifice and parallel ceremony described by Martin because, “If a life is taken close to the…33rd Parallel, this fits with the Masons’ demonic mythology in which they demonstrate their worldly power by spilling human blood at a predetermined locale.”[vi] Martin added additional reasons for the South Carolina location: Such unobtrusive elements as the Pentagram and the black candles and the appropriate draperies could be part of the Ceremonial in Rome. But other Ruberics—the Bowl of Bones and the Ritual Din, for example, the sacrificial animals and the victim—would be too much. There would have to be a Parallel Enthronement. A Concelebration could be accomplished with the same effect by the Brethren in an Authorized Targeting Chapel. Provided all the participants in both locations “targeted” every element of the Event on the Roman Chapel, then the Event in its fullness would be accomplished specifically in the target area. It would all be a matter of unanimity of hearts, identity of intention and perfect synchronization of words and actions between the Targeting Chapel and the Target Chapel. The living wills and the thinking minds of the Participants concentrated on the specific Aim of the Prince would transcend all distance.[vii] Martin’s chilling description in Windswept House of the methodical profanation of everything virtuous and innocent during the “Parallel Enthronement” between the Targeting Chapel and the Target Chapel included indescribably foul Invocations, sadistic animal sacrifices, and repeated violations of a young “Ritual Victim” on an altar. For the uninitiated, the very idea this happened strains credulity. Yet when John F. McManus, for The New American, June 9, 1997, asked Father Martin if the Black Mass in South Carolina had actually occurred, it led to an enlightening Q and A: McManus: Your book begins with a vivid description of a sacrilegious “Black Mass” held in 1963 in Charleston, South Carolina. Did this really happen? Martin: Yes it did. And the participation by telephone of some high officials of the church in the Vatican is also a fact. The young female who was forced to be a part of this satanic ritual is very much alive and, happily, has been able to marry and lead a normal life. She supplied details about the event.… McManus: In addition…you depict numerous other cardinals and bishops in a very bad light. Are these characterizations based on fact? Martin: Yes, among the cardinals and the hierarchy there are satanists, homosexuals, anti-papists, and cooperators in the drive for world rule.[viii] Even more explosive, near the end of Windswept House there is an often overlooked section providing explicit details of the enthronement ceremony and its true purpose to create a satanic pope. Martin provides details of the “Roman Phalanx,” another name for the Vatican satanic cult, as well as describing their ultimate goal: As a body, they had sworn “the Sacred Oath of Commitment” administered by the Delegate. Then each man had approached the Altar to give “Evidence” of his personal dedication. With blood drawn by the prick of a golden pin, each had pressed his fingerprint beside his name on the Bill of Authorization. Henceforth, the life and work of every member of the Phalanx in the Roman Citadel was to be focused on the transformation of the papacy itself. No longer was the Petrine Office to be an instrument of the “Nameless Weakling” [Jesus]. It was to be fashioned into a willing instrument of the Prince, and a living model for “the New Age of Man.”[ix] Thus it appears frighteningly evident that, like in the movie Rosemary’s Baby and in the visions and fears of so many Catholic seers, a ceremony for invoking the incarnation of Satan’s seed—or installing it ritualistically inside a young person or chosen priest—was indeed performed, and a blood oath of dedication enacted for its goals by highly placed Satanists inside the Roman Catholic Citadel a little less than fifty years ago. Whether Martin was killed and his death covered up for revealing this satanic scheme to use the Catholic Church as a launching pad for a luciferic novus ordo seclorum may never be known. One year before he died, however, Martin’s very good friend, Father Alfred Kunz, was brutally murdered at his St. Michael Catholic Church in Dane, Wisconsin. Kunz had been investigating the same Satanism among “priests” that Martin had warned about, and had told Martin in the weeks before his murder that he feared for his life. When Kunz was found dead with his throat slit, Martin claimed in various media that he had “inside information” that the Vatican “luciferians” had murdered him because he was getting ready to blow the lid off their conspiracy. The satanic animal sacrifice described by Martin in Windswept House as part of the “enthronement of the Fallen Archangel Lucifer in the Vatican” seems eerily comparable to what was indeed discovered in Dane County during the first hours of the murder investigation, including a calf which had been found sacrificed on a farm near St. Michael’s Church exactly twenty-four hours before Kunz was last seen alive. According to police reports, the calf’s throat was slit, as was Father Kunz, and its genitals cut off. There are details we will not discuss in this book due to their horrific nature, but deep within occultism there are reasons for removing the genitals of a sacrifice having to do with blasphemy of the Old Testament description of animals being accounted unworthy as offerings to the Lord if their testicles are bruised, crushed, torn, or cut (Lev. 22:24). According to survivors of ritual Satanic abuse (including Egyptian-Masonic Satanism), human sacrificial victims are sometimes laid on a table and their genitals likewise removed in order to make them “unworthy” or unfit for salvation (though versions of such abuse in South Africa are called “muti” murders, and some people pay large sums of money for genitalia from these human sacrifices in the belief it will bring them fertility, health, and good fortune). Then there is the ancient occult idea that decapitated persons cannot partake in the resurrection, thus dark rituals can include mutilation of the head, throat, and genitals where damnation of the victim is meant as a magical curse. In the case of the Dane County murder, was a black ritual performed between the hours of 10 p.m. March 2 and 4 a.m. March 3, 1998, to “target” Father Kunz and to “mark” him unfit for redemption? During our investigative research for this book, I [Tom] made formal requests of the Dane County Sheriff’s Office for pertinent case files (DCSO Case # 98011295) pertaining to the ongoing investigation of the Father Kunz homicide. After first being told the files we requested would be given us, on December 15, 2011 we received a letter from the office of Lieutenant Mark Twombly signed by Sheriff Mahoney that the District Attorney would need to approve the release of the files (in other words it would take a court order) and therefore the request had been denied. Since this is an active, ongoing case, the sensitive records are not to be made public at this time and this is understandable. In filing a second request for less delicate documents, we were able to obtain a packet of files, but none of these provided solid clues to the larger question of conspiracy related to the murder of Father Kunz—specifically, was evidence discovered at the crime scene that his murder was somehow connected to his conservative position on Vatican II, and, more importantly, that he had information on certain pedophile priests and Satanists (that had earned him fierce enemies within the Church) reaching all the way to the Catholic hierarchy in Rome involved in ceremonies or behavior related to the enthronement of Lucifer and a ritual conducted for the purpose of transmigrating a particular spirit into Petrus Romanus? “In the absence of an arrest, the Kunz case has developed into a sinister religious Rorschach for many—certainly among those close to the case who consider themselves traditionalists within the troubled Roman Catholic Church,”[x] wrote Chuck Nowlen in the 2001 cover story for Las Vegas Weekly, The Devil and Father Kunz. At that time, Nowlen had interviewed Peter Kelly, a Monroe, Wis., attorney and master’s divinity student who had produced Kunz’s weekly radio show. Given that Kelly was a good friend of Kunz and had spent substantial time with him in private conversations, his response to Nowlen’s questions reveal a lot about what Kelly personally believed lay at the root of the murder: “This is a time of major crisis within the church, and the breakdown tends to be along traditional and conservative versus liberal lines. I think it’s getting almost to the point of complete collapse. And, yeah, I know: Some people delve into a so-called satanic influence in the church, and everybody sort of rolls their eyes and laughs. But, I tell you, the nexus is really there[xi].” Still, Nowlen wondered, could someone within the Church really have killed Kunz—or ordered him killed? “Absolutely,” the lawyer confirmed, “as unbelievable as that might sound to some people.”[xii]

AI's TEOTWAWKI

"the end of the world as we know it"

The Lord works in mysterious ways sometimes, a simple misspelled word can bring untold revelation. Such was the case when I misspelled the acronym TEOTWAWKI, the end of the world as we know it. Rather, I spelled TEOWAKI and it brought me to a whole new level of understanding about AI that was hiding in plain sight. The Lord gave insight to Steve Quayle that after the Transhumanism and the Hybrid Age Conference that normal would cease to be. From what I am seeing this has come to pass. We have entered a time that is more like a science fiction movie than normalcy. It has been coming to pass for awhile. I first noticed it at the turn of the millennium, with an intensification in 2002. People talk about the Pole Shift, this was a Beast System Shift. This is our new reality. TEOTWAWKI- is the end of the world as you know it and originated as an expression since around the 1980's. You will not find it on Wikipedia because of their natural biases and association of the acronym with survival. This suggests that survival is not a good thing. Wikipedia also associates the acronym with a horror television series Fear of the Walking Dead. TEOWAKI on the other hand, is one of the companies setting up the infrastructure for AI, couched in a social tech community who communicate with one another. I find this ironic because as traditional forms of communication are going extinct like face to face conversations and relations and even phone calls the technology group is amassing their alternative forms of communications. As we progress into the beast system your life and business is increasingly becoming more dependent upon technology and data. The beast system feeds upon your data. In fact the beast system, in its mimicry of God's creation has created data lakes a hierarchical storage repository that holds data in its native or raw form each with a unique identifier that is pooled until needed. Much as natural lakes in the wild these data lakes scale to size, or increase or decrease in size. Within the cloud, or virtual realm this scaling is known as an elastic systems that auto-scale up and down responding to your processing needs in real time. This system has adopted the ability to self-heal when there is a production problem. My hypothesis is that the hybrid beast mentioned in the bible utilizes the self healing capabilities of AI: One of the heads of the beast appeared to be fatally wounded. But the mortal wound was healed, and the whole world was astonished and followed the beast. Revelation 13:3 Meanwhile the architecture infrastructure is crafted so that you can forget about the beast system and focus or distract yourself with other things. AI-centeric companies are increasingly gaining power over your life. It will listen to you, advise you, mentor you, teach you the ways of the cloud (fallen angel technology) that no man in history has known-even the pre-Adamic races, replace God's wisdom for training in wickedness, and deliver your soul to the Cloud which will become your hell. We are being migrated seamlessly as humans (body and brain) into the beast system, floating amid our data, in a all-flash, hybrid-flash, and multi-cloud storage (AI) systems integrating a Deep Adaptive Flash Array. You have entered the technological gladiatorial arena on a personal, social, business, and spiritual where you are compelled to seek the competitive edge. You are being forced into the beast system that promises reliability (when these days humans are not reliable), always in play and ready for business, and improve your response time. If course it will not be you who responds but AI. You and I are being deceived. Hybrid AI systems are being engineered that allow you to operate in the physical and virtual domain until you are ready to take the plunge to total virtual immersion. God is not a hybrid, He is One. You can have the ultimate supernatural immersion through a relationship with Jesus. You can bypass deception and use all of His gifts to aide you in this life and all eternity. Models between the spiritual and physical realms right now are extremely dynamic. It is being said in the tech world that the era of monoliths is over and that that you need to build small independent teams working on distributed services. In the spiritual domain this would equate to forsaking the Living God for an army of demonic simulations in physical manifestation. Aside from the biblical application, thanks to the work of Anthony Patch, monolith's were embedded into our conscious and unconscious psyche in the Science Fiction movie, 2001: A Space Odyssey. His insights are fascinating, and I concur, having my own unique experiences associated with this particular science fiction movie. So what is a monolithic application? It’s a single-tiered software application in which the user interface and data access code are combined into a single program on a single platform. It’s also an application that runs multiple components in the same process, on the same system. This will become obsolete very quickly as we forsake our the Divine Image of God embedded within us and turn to Kubernetes who will navigate our soul to the underworld. You will be told that AI is reality, the real god and that only he can provide you with security, continuous deployment capabilities, elastic scaling where you can Docker the container of your soul to AI who will manage it all in serverless operations. Containers are packages that rely on virtual isolation to deploy and run applications that access a shared operating system (OS) kernel without the need for virtual machines. Being a container or receptacle is a biblical principle. In the Hebrew there is both a letter and word for container or vessel. For good or for evil our body, mind, Spirit are containers as we see: If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. 2 Timothy 2:21 The name Kubernetes originates from Greek, meaning helmsman or pilot, and is the root of governor. K8s is an abbreviation derived by replacing the 8 letters “ubernete” with “8”. Kubernetes is not monolithic, and these default solutions are optional and pluggable. Kubernetes provides the building blocks for building developer platforms Kubernetes is not a mere orchestration system. In fact, it eliminates the need for orchestration. The technical definition of orchestration is execution of a defined workflow: first do A, then B, then C. In contrast, Kubernetes is comprised of a set of independent, composable control processes that continuously drive the current state towards the provided desired state. It shouldn’t matter how you get from A to C. Centralized control is also not required. Another pack of lies that we are being sold is that data not people are of value. Through things such as Integrate GA 360 and Firebase we can unlock the superpowers of the gods, fallen angels, and unleash that power upon the earth. Why would you settle to integrate with wickedness? Because it is easy? Because it will be your friend? Because you perceive it has raw power? My friends, the Living God can supply any amount of power, information, provision in a timely manner and without a mandatory sacrificial system. There is nothing like the fire of the Almighty God! The fire of creation or even if you ascribe to the Big Bang theory; the fire of the Burning Bush; the tongues of fire in the Old and New Testament consuming sacrifices and astonishingly cross the language barrier that had been established since the Tower of Babel when the languages were divided; Pillars of Fire of protection, and this corrupt world will end by fire. That my friends is the real fire. Spark, Google BigQuery, DataFlow/Beam, Flink, PubSub, Kafka, BigTable, and Hadoop cannot compare ever. And if your heart desires real-time streams you can choose the pristine, crystal clears waters of heaven (hashamayim) that are alive, dynamic, pure, available anytime, scaled to your unique needs without compromise through selling your soul to the beast system. You need some analytics? There is nothing that every existed that can supply you with foundational knowledge apart from Jesus Christ. Petabytes of BigQuery are child's play to the creator of the universe. In techno-speak computing, a pipeline refers to the logical queue that is filled with all the instructions for the computer processor to process in parallel. It is the process of storing and queuing tasks and instructions that are executed simultaneously by the processor in an organized way. We are all on a journey, we are you might say a moving target. Just as we hopefully mature through biblical study, prayer, and emulation of biblical heroes, not superhero's- these men and women had wisdom and knowledge and were flawed through sin-our adversary is practicing, mobilizing, and studying new best practices to defeat God and His creation. When they say "Peace and security," Sudden Destruction Do not be deceived. When you hire or affiliate with AI, you know exactly what you are getting. You are getting a senior team army of fallen angel demons. Don't be misled by size. Even small AI companies can have global reach. AI hybrids promise they can "deliver you peace of mind." Unfortunately, you will become ensnared in a legion of software cages utilized by banks, pharma companies, government organizations, and start-ups. From small proofs of concepts to multi-million dollar systems. I find the news about a caravan of peoples moving towards the United States intriguing. This could very well could be an army of demonic AI simulations in physical manifestation. The sources that I typically follow are deadly silent on it. Typically, this happens it is a PSYOP or has PSYOP elements. This year migration was the hot topic for all the global governance. At this time in the physical , territorial, and spiritual domain- sovereign nations (depicted as monolithic infrastructures) are in the process of extermination in favor of virtual ideologies (cloud or hybrid cloud). AI was deployed to the Middle East to Beta test AI in scenario's such as the caravan without deployment of any troops. A concept is being floated to forgo human leaders (because they are human and corrupt) in favor of AI leadership. Are we seeing a transfer of the mantle of humanity being conferred upon AI? We cannot trust the news/images on this caravan. DEEP FAKE is so proficient now we cannot trust images or the news. The Holy Spirit brought to my attention that this is a seamless migration of humans-body and brain using the migrants into the beast system- or human simulations that were to be deployed in September, commingling artificial entities with their fallen angel data in an all-flash, hybrid-flash, and multi-cloud storage (AI) system(s) integrating the Deep Adaptive Flash Array. The purpose of which would be for the destruction of humanity and transformation of God's creation into a counterfeit, Luciferian netherworld. If you need a Cloud Spanner or future-proof system, durable in any environment or domain: Jesus is your answer. Metaphorically speaking, He is the supernatural on steroids. My question to you is: why choose something inferior than the Living God?

Have we become Weimar America?

Discussion in 'Off-Topic' started by calsdad, Tuesday at 8:35 PM.

The left’s rejection of facts and reason in favor of romantic faith in “feelings” is yet another sign of our cultural decay. That decay has gone far enough to raise the question of whether we are following the path of Weimar Germany, Germany in the 1920s and early 1930s. To summarize a complex historical period, the collapse of morals and culture in Germany in the 1920s alienated the German middle class from the Weimar Republic. When the Great Depression hit, that alienation was joined by deep anger at the government’s inability to set the economy right and provide jobs. Adolf Hitler and his National Socialists rode this mixture of alienation and anger to power (legally, by winning an election). They then abolished the Weimar constitution, reaffirmed traditional middle-class morality, pulled Germany out of the Depression, and gave jobs to everyone who wanted one (for which the brilliant head of the Reichsbank, Hjalmar Schacht, deserves much of the credit). I was in Berlin for ten days in August, where my search for Germany’s history was aided by an excellent guidebook in the Companion Guides series, Berlin by Brian Ladd. Ladd quotes the interwar novelist Stefan Zweig’s description of Berlin in 1923, during the Weimar Republic’s hyperinflation: I have a pretty thorough knowledge of history, but never, to my recollection, has it produced such madness in such gigantic proportions. All values were changed, and not only material ones; the laws of the State were flouted, no tradition, no moral code was respected, Berlin was transformed into the Babylon of the world. Bars, amusement parks, honky-tonks, sprang up like mushrooms. . . the Germans introduced all their vehemence and methodological organization into the perversion. Along the entire Kurfurstendamm powdered and rouged young men sauntered and they were not all professionals; every high school boy wanted to earn some money and in the dimly lit bars one might see government officials and men of the world of finance tenderly courting drunken sailors without shame. Even the Rome of Suetonious has never seen such orgies as the pervert balls of Berlin, where hundreds of men costumed as women and hundreds of women as men danced under the benevolent eyes of the police.  In the collapse of all values a kind of madness gained hold particularly in bourgeois circles which until then had been unshakable in their probity. Young girls bragged proudly of their perversion, to be sixteen and still under the suspicion of virginity would have been considered a disgrace in any school of Berlin at that time… Does this sound all too familiar? America now witnesses such behavior not only in one city, but throughout the land. And the Establishment media promote it, bless it, and denounce anyone who rejects it as a “hater”. A large portion of America’s middle class finds it alienating. As in Weimar Germany, the initial push to the extremes has come from the Left, which seems to imagine it can go as far as it wants without eliciting a reaction from the Right. In Germany, the SA arose largely to counter violence from the Communists. Here, the Left thought it could raise racial consciousness among blacks and Hispanics without creating a similar rise in racial consciousness on the part of the whites. It was wrong. Now, it is openly advocating violence against Republican Party leaders and other prominent conservatives, harassing them in public places, vandalizing their property, and threatening their families. This too will bring an equal reaction from the Right, and the Left will find to its sorrow that the Right fights rather better than the Left.

11 Places to Avoid Going When SHTF- Planning A Bug Out Can Seem Overwhelming. But The More You Plan And Prepare In Advance, The More Likely You Will Remember Which Places to Avoid Going When SHTF

When it comes to being prepared for a SHTF event, preppers are focused on threats from natural disasters to nuclear wars, EMPs, and devastating cosmic events. The situations that people can focus on and become obsessed with preparing for and unpredictable and vary widely. There’s no way that one person or family could be completely prepared for every single type of event. So, most people choose one or several related events they believe are imminent and prepare as best they can for those. But the less talked about threat that will be overwhelming no matter what the situation is that arises, is population density. For example, according to this map of population density by county shows that roughly two-thirds of the U.S population is located in the Eastern half of the United States. In fact, according to recent reports by the U.S. Census Bureau (2010 data), approximately half the population resided in just 146 counties out of 3000 counties in the United States. Our grandfathers and great-grandfathers were the last generation to practice the basic things that we call survival skills now. There are only a few moments in life when you can really do something big. This is one of them. Our grandparents didn’t pass these skills on to us in our bloodstream, and neither will you to your children or your nephews. Take advantage of this presentation while it’s still up, and SAVE THE LOST WAYS by clicking on the button below. You are the only one that can change something. That’s right. The biggest threat to your safety and the safety of your family is in fact, other people. They aren’t “bad” people out to get you. Some of them would likely give the shirt off the back to help others in normal circumstances. But in a SHTF situation, people just like you who are doing what they need to do to provide for their families can be a threat. Scared, and willing to do anything to get away from immediate danger, large numbers of these people can be the difference between life and death for your family. So, when SHTF, how do you mitigate population density to increase your ability to keep yourself and your family safe? The easiest way is to plan to avoid other people as much as possible. The problem that most people run into during an emergency or SHTF situation is they are unprepared, and they panic. When you sense danger, the first instinct for most people is to flee. Sure, some people will naturally react with fight instead of flight, but the majority of people will flee first and fight only when cornered. The best way to be prepared to avoid the crowds of desperate people is to know which places to avoid going when SHTF. We’ve listed some examples below: 1. Downtown It goes without saying that downtown areas of any city should be avoided. This is especially true in mid to large cities where lack of regular sanitation services will create ideal conditions for diseases. The risk of rioting, looting, and violent attacks is also greater in downtown areas. City dwellers are statistically less prepared for a SHTF event as many families live paycheck to paycheck with very little stockpiled supplies. In addition, because population density is highest in these areas, stores and other sources for supplies will be quickly cleaned out. Many city residents depend on public transportation on a daily basis and are less likely to have access to a vehicle to flee the city. Mass numbers of people in these areas will be desperately seeking food, water, and medical supplies, as well as transportation out of the city. 2. Main Roads, Intersections, and Freeways If you are planning to bug out to an area outside of the city, or if you are caught away from home, it may seem like the shortest route is the best course of action. But, keep in mind that main roads and busy intersections will quickly become overwhelmed with people trying to flee just like you are. Most people only know one or two ways to get out of the city and these are usually main roads. Those who are looking to steal supplies will see main roads and intersections as prime locations to ambush unwary travelers. Get a map of your area now and plan several routes out of the city and from work to home that use side roads rather than highways and state routes. 3. Bottleneck Points A bottleneck can be any area that a majority of people must travel in order to get out of a cul de sac, neighborhood, city, county, or state. In most cases, this will be things such as bridges, overpasses, underpasses, freeway ramps, etc. If several hundred or thousands of people are fleeing the same area, and everyone must cross the same bridge to get out of town, that will quickly become a bottleneck point. The same is true for any areas where there is only one road going in or out. Avoid these areas at all costs and look for alternative ways to get through or cross, even if it means taking a longer way around or traveling in a nontraditional way (motorcycle, private plane, bicycle, on foot, etc.). 4. Hospitals It may seem weird to see hospitals on a list of places to avoid following a SHTF event because one would think this would be a place to find help. The reason to avoid hospitals if at all possible is because most people, especially those that are injured, will flock to them. Even people who aren’t injured may head for the hospitals to get help for family members who have been injured. Emotions in this area will be high and the risk of violence is greater as people lose control. In addition, patients who are ill and/or patients dying from lack of resources will increase the risk of rampant infection and disease. The hospital and surrounding areas will be a petri dish environment for viruses and bacteria. With medical resources limited, you’ll want to avoid getting sick to increase your odds of long-term survival. 5. Prisons and Surrounding Areas This one should be a no brainer. If there is a prison in your area or along the route to your bug out location (BOL), you’ll want to avoid the area as much as possible. During a SHTF event, it’s likely that guards and staff may abandon their posts to care for their families which increases the likelihood that violent prisoners can escape and be on the roads. These prisoners will come out into the chaos without any supplies, they will be desperate to survive and could be more willing to use violence to commandeer your supplies or vehicle. 6. Police Stations and Military Bases Like with hospitals, it may seem counterintuitive to avoid police stations and military bases following a SHTF event. Police and military are supposed to serve and protect citizens, right? But although it may seem like going to these locations would be a safer alternative, in most cases it will be a waste of precious time and may in fact get you killed or locked up instead. Police stations and military bases will be among the most secure buildings. They will be heavily guarded, and they will not be opening their doors to the mass numbers of people who show up. Crowds outside these areas will be frustrated and angry at not being granted protection. The last thing you want is to step into the middle of that crowd with your BOB of supplies, food, and water. 7. Shelters or FEMA Camps Although shelters are designed to help those people who find themselves without a place to sleep or food to eat, most shelters are understaffed and operating at or above capacity even in normal times. Homeless shelters and food banks will be quickly overrun by mass numbers of people. Some may be forced to close the doors to newcomers within days of a SHTF event. These shelters and any publicized FEMA camps that spring up will have very poor conditions. Supplies will be rationed, tempers will be high, and violence will be rampant. As more people arrive, and conditions worsen, the buildings and surrounding areas will quickly become breeding grounds for infection and disease. 8. Grocery Stores and Shopping Plazas For people who are not prepared, their first instinct will be to find food, water, and supplies. Humans are creatures of habit and thus many will flock to local grocery stores and shopping plazas and begin looting for needed supplies. These areas will be picked clean within less than 24 hours of a SHTF event. Those that are left there will be the most desperate and scared for their lives. These crowds are unpredictable and often violent. 9. Gas Stations, Auto Parts, and Convenience Stores The reason to avoid gas stations, auto parts, and convenience stores is similar to that of other stores and shopping areas. Desperate people are going to flock to the first places they think of to find supplies to get out of the area. Those trying to get of the city will want to try to gas up and/or get. For all but those people who were quick to get on the road, getting gas will be nearly impossible. Lines at these places will be long, tempers will be high, and violence will be much more likely, especially when pumps run dry and shelves are bare. 10. Hardware and Sporting Goods Stores One thing that people will be searching for when SHTF is guns, ammo, and other items to use for protection. Since sporting goods and hardware stores carry a lot of these items, these stores will be hot spots for looting. If you don’t already have your weapons ready when SHTF, you’re better off to look around your home for items you can use, rather than try for a quick trip to a hardware or sporting goods store. 11. Banks, Check-Cashing, & Pawn Shops One thing just about everyone who isn’t prepared in advance will be looking to get first is accessing to cash. For this reason, banks, check cashing or loan offices, and pawn shops should be avoided following a SHTF event. This is where large numbers of people will flock toward first. Many people in these areas will become trapped, unable to access their money, either because computers are down or because cash reserves were already depleted. When desperate people can’t get access to cash that they believe will help them get needed supplies, things will get ugly. 12. Large Shopping Malls and Public Squares When things get chaotic just before a SHTF event, the last place you will want to be is in a public square or large shopping mall. These places can quickly become a gathering place for desperate, angry people. Rioting, looting, and violence will be high in these areas so it’s best to avoid them if possible. 13. Large Social Gatherings and Public Events If you even suspect that things around you are getting chaotic. If you sense civil or economic unrest or have recognized other precursors to a SHTF event, you will want to avoid large social gatherings and public events. These events draw large crowds of people on the same date and time. Events or gathering that are tradition or annual events that can be predicted or are widely publicized are more dangerous. These are prime target events for terrorists. What to do Instead: Now that you know what places to avoid going when SHTF, here are some things you can do to make sure you can avoid these places and still have a good chance of surviving: Starting today, make it a habit to keep your gas tank at least 3/4 full at all times. Take steps to properly store additional gasoline in approved containers so that you can fuel up at home and skip the last-minute trip to the gas station on your way out of town. Follow a regular maintenance schedule for your vehicle to keep it in top running condition at all times. Proactively make vehicle repairs so that your risk of a breakdown is less when SHTF. Stockpile spare parts such as belts, spark plugs, wiper blades, washer fluid, transmission fluid, antifreeze, brake fluid, and engine oil so you can replenish as needed without that trip to the auto parts store. Create safe storage places where you can begin to stockpile emergency cash so that you have it on hand when SHTF and do not need to make any last-minute runs to a bank, ATM, or pawnshop for cash. Conduct a weapons inventory of any guns, ammo, knives, and personal self-defense weapons (mace, stun gun, etc.). Be sure to consider any other potential items (ball bats, shovels, chains, etc.) that could be used for weapons and protection during a SHTF event. Know what you have on hand and train yourself and family in how to use it if needed for protection. Clearly mark danger zones in advance on a map or maps of your local area and surrounding areas. Plan several different escape routes so that you can quickly change course if needed due to unexpected danger or obstacles. Identify and plan to use alternative routes out of town including logging roads, railroad tracks, and power line easements if needed to avoid danger zones. Locate and clearly map out any sources of fresh water that won’t be the first thought for others such as small lakes, ponds, private or public swimming pools, creeks, and rivers. Include a hand water pump and collapsible water jug in your BOB as well as a way to filter and boil water from these sources. Stockpile lightweight food, ways to filter water, and medical supplies so that you won’t be tempted to make a last run to grocery or other shopping areas. Create a system of hidden supply caches along your routes to your BOL so you can replenish supplies that are used, stolen, or confiscated along the way. Planning a bug out can seem overwhelming. But the more you plan and prepare in advance, the more likely you will remember which places to avoid going when SHTF.

Social Media Censorship Continues: Twitter Accounts Linked To Info Wars REMOVED

Mac Slavo October 23rd, 2018 SHTFplan.com

Twitter is continuing on their censorship campaign ahead of the midterm elections. The social media platform has now removed accounts that have been linked to Alex Jones or his website, Info Wars. Twitter is not the only tech company seeking to permanently silence Jones either. Other tech companies, including PayPal, YouTube, Apple, and Spotify, have limited or banned Jones’ activities on their sites. The accounts banned on Twitter were thought to have been to circumvent the censorship and obvious attempts to silence Jones which took place back in August and September. According to NBC News, a Twitter spokesman confirmed that the accounts had been removed but provided no additional comment. The company says it usually does not discuss specific accounts, however, it definitely appears that mainstream media greatly fears what Jones has to say. Twitter permanently suspended @realalexjones and @infowars from Twitter and Periscope in early September. It said it based that action on reports of tweets and videos that violated its policy against abusive behavior, yet everyone is well aware that Jones simply says things that government elitists and mainstream media pundits (who support government elitists) dislike. Oliver Darcy @oliverdarcy · Oct 22, 2018  Twitter spox tells me the company just suspended 18 accounts which were “under the Infowars umbrella.” Spox says Twitter previously suspended 5 accounts for attempts to get around ban of Alex Jones.

DHS ‘Confirms’ Criminals Inside Caravan

7:16 PM 10/23/2018 | Politics Saagar Enjeti | White House Correspondent

The Department of Homeland Security confirmed President Donald Trump’s assertion that there are criminals traveling in a migrant caravan bound for the U.S., in a series of Tuesday tweets.

Tyler Q. Houlton @SpoxDHS

.@DHSgov can confirm that there are individuals within the caravan who are gang members or have significant criminal histories.

4:32 PM - Oct 23, 2018 11K 8,531 people are talking about this

Trump made the claim of criminals within the caravan on Twitter last week saying: Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump Sadly, it looks like Mexico’s Police and Military are unable to stop the Caravan heading to the Southern Border of the United States. Criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in. I have alerted Border Patrol and Military that this is a National Emergy. Must change laws!

DHS also addressed Trump’s claim that there are a number of Middle Easterners in the caravan. DHS did not explicitly say there are Middle Easterners within the caravan itself but noted that they and other nationalities often try to arrive in the U.S. via the southern border. Tyler Q. Houlton @SpoxDHS

· Oct 23, 2018 .@DHSgov can confirm that there are individuals within the caravan who are gang members or have significant criminal histories. Tyler Q. Houlton @SpoxDHS Citizens of countries outside Central America, including countries in the Middle East, Africa, South Asia, and elsewhere are currently traveling through Mexico toward the U.S. 4:32 PM - Oct 23, 2018 4,088 3,962 people are talking about this The caravan has swelled to nearly 6,000 people with the apparent intention of entering the U.S. and claiming asylum. Current U.S. law requires a lengthy asylum adjudication process and the Trump administration believes many migrants are using loopholes in U.S. law to illegally immigrate.

Was This “Tattle-Tale Culture” Encouraged by Public Schools?

Profile picture for user TDB by TDB Mon, 10/22/2018 - 12:50 by Joe Jarvis via The Daily Bell

The band Bowling for Soup has a song called “High School Never Ends.” In it, the singer complains that he thought all the terrible things about high school would end once he graduated. Unfortunately, he discovers…

The whole damned world is just as obsessed

With who’s the best dressed and who’s having sex

Who’s got the money, who gets the honeys

Who’s kinda cute and who’s just a mess

And you still don’t have the right look

And you don’t have the right friends

Nothing changes but the faces, the names and the trends

High school never ends

I couldn’t help thinking of this song as I watched four videos this week of “tattle-tales” calling the police for the dumbest reasons. “Cornerstore Caroline” called the police to accused a nine-year-old black boy of groping her butt at a convenience store. Security cameras showed that his backpack accidentally brushed up against her. “Golf Cart Gail” called police on a father on the sidelines of his son’s soccer game, as well as apparently the rest of the rival team’s parents. In July, “ID Adam” called police on a woman after she refused to show her ID at a community pool, even though she had already used the necessary swipe card to open the locked gate. And a student called campus safety officers to ask for an escort to her car because she saw Trump supporters and didn’t feel safe. “Did somebody make threats to you?” The security officer asks. “I mean, I don’t, I feel like my physical threat is like–my physical safety–is at, like, a threat. I’m just, I don’t feel comfortable walking over there, because I feel like they might jump me or something like that. I just, I don’t know, I just need someone to walk me to my car.” The officer tells her that they don’t have the personnel to do that. She asks what she should do then. And he says, “I don’t know.” Then there was “Permit Patty” who called the cops on an 8-year-old black girl selling water and “Barbeque Becky” who called the cops on a group of black people cooking out in public. The mainstream media plays up the racial elements of these instances. More likely is that this happens all the time regardless of race. But the racial videos go viral because that is the narrative being pushed right now. Ironically, #MeToo hysteria also likely contributed to “Cornerstore Caroline’s” ridiculous overreaction to an innocent young boy accidentally brushing up against her backside. In New York City, a crowded city of over 8 million, sometimes people are going to accidentally brush up against you. But the real problem is the knee-jerk reaction to call the police over such trivial things. It’s like society has devolved to a point where no one is an adult. People can’t just work things out among themselves, or simply get over it. They have to tell the teacher. These people are stuck in high school. They have been indoctrinated to get the authorities on their side whenever they have a minor personal problem. It’s really a sleazy and pathetic way to behave. It’s not like anyone in any of these situations was actually in danger. They were trying to throw the government’s weight behind tiny, unimportant disputes. It’s like the teacher’s pet standing behind her, sticking out his tongue while she scolds you. As the rightfully angry woman in the pool video says, this wastes officers’ time, and tax dollars. Is this what we have police for? To be hall monitors and guidance councilors? To behave like teachers and deans, resolving issues that are not criminal, and probably not even civil legal disputes? Public schools’ insidious influence has changed society. They indoctrinate people to behave like this. After a century of forced public schooling, with the vast majority of society attending these government centers for twelve years, society is starting to reflect the dangerous lessons we are taught in high school. In high school, you are encouraged to get a teacher or a guidance counselor involved in any disputes. You’re supposed to report fellow students who break the rules. In the Bowling for Soup song, the band is referring to the culture that high school has created. And this is the same problem. “Teen culture” is now an American export, as bad as imperialism. It promotes cliques and factions. It encourages you to label yourself a jock, or a nerd, or an honors students, or a burnout. Then you police conformity, to make sure there aren’t any posers in your midsts… or outsiders using the pool, or having a BBQ on your turf. This system was encouraged by grouping kids by age in schools. A majority of their interactions involved people the same maturity level. That makes it harder to grow up… you get less exposure to friends who could bring you up to their level. Or better yet, adults who could teach you a useful trade or skill. But you do learn how to get power in a world where all the authority comes from the top. You learn how to use the teacher’s power to get your way, to enforce your standards, to empower your clique. Because you are forced to follow strict and arbitrary rules, it bothers you when you see someone getting away with breaking these rules. You report someone for skipping class, not because you are angry that they are missing out on a quality education, but because you are mad that you have to attend class while they are free. Of course, teachers’ values are more aligned with certain groups of students. Honors students and student council get special treatment and protection. Skateboarders get hassled every time they walk down the hall. Just like the lady at the pool, they “look guilty,” according to the biases of the hall monitors and the “ID Adams.” People like to pretend that high school trains you for the real world. So then people think the real world is asking for permission to speak, eat lunch, and use the bathroom. People internalize that you need to prove your innocence everywhere you go with hall passes, late passes, and permission slips. It feels normal to prod nosily into other people’s business because that’s what teachers have been doing for twelve years. In schools, you have no right to privacy. But some students like this, like the girl who is afraid of Trump supporters. She wants to give up her privacy and freedom in order to have a safe space. She wants an authoritarian state modeled after a public school, as long as it means she gets escorted to her car by government agents. All this starts with indoctrination in public schools. And we are left with immature whiny adults who can’t solve their own problems. You don’t have to play by the rules of the corrupt politicians, manipulative media, and brainwashed peers.

Antifa’s Red Army Is Orchestrating A Communist Revolution

Oct 23, 2018 Read More Articles by Kelleigh Nelson

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. —The First Amendment of the Bill of Rights – The U.S. Constitution

The first step in community organization is community disorganization. —Saul Alinsky

…the Communists everywhere support every revolutionary movement against the existing social and political order of thingsThey openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. —Karl Marx and Frederick Engels, The Communist Manifesto, published in 1848

We’ve seen the clenched fists of the communists as they assemble to cause mob violence, destruction and havoc. The clenched-fist salute has been used among revolutionaries for many centuries as a symbol of defiance, comradeship, and solidarity. It was employed during the bloody French Revolution of 1789, and again during the industrial revolutions of 1848.  It is the same clenched fist seen in the Russian Revolution of 1905 when a wave of mass political and social unrest spread through vast areas of the Russian Empire. The rage was directed at the government, the Tsar, the church and other conventional authorities. Vladimir Lenin’s Communist Russian Revolution culminated in 1917 when the Tsar became the U.S.S.R. (Union Soviet Socialist Republics). In July of 1918 Tsar Nicholas Romanov and his family were executed on the orders of Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin. Lenin as head of the USSR called the 1905 Revolution a “dress rehearsal” without which the “victory of the October Revolution in 1917 would have been impossible.” In recent history, the communist clenched fist has been used by the Black Panthers, Black Lives Matter, AFL-CIO labor union members, Occupy Wall Street activists, Marxist-Leninists, including members of the Communist Party USA and the Revolutionary Communist Party, and now by the ski-masked Antifa thugs of the Democrat party. Antifa’s Communist Revolution Antifa promotes a blend of anarchy and communism, and was formed in 1920s Germany as the violence and intimidation wing of the Communist Party of Germany. The organization was initially part of the Soviet Union’s front operations to bring about communist dictatorship in Germany, and it worked to label all rival parties as “fascist.” In this picture, German members of Antifa, a Soviet front group that carried out violence and intimidation, give clenched fist salutes on September 1, 1928. The Soviet Union was among the world’s most violent dictatorships, killing an estimated 20 million people, according to “The Black Book of Communism,” published by Harvard University Press. The Soviet regime is second only to the Chinese Communist Party under Mao Zedong, which killed an estimated 65 million people. The Antifa organization can be traced to the “united front” of the Soviet Union’s Communist International (Comintern) during the Third World Congress in Moscow in June and July 1921, according to the German booklet “80 Years of Anti-Fascist Action” by Bernd Langer, published by the Association for the Promotion of Anti-Fascist Culture. Both the communist and fascist systems were based in collectivism and state-planned economies. Both also proposed systems wherein the individual was heavily controlled by a powerful state, and both were responsible for large-scale atrocities and genocide. If you think it can’t happen in America, just look at who is funding these anti-American mobs bent on the destruction of America’s Constitution, her culture and way of life. She is under siege by a group of masked, black-clad protesters known for using extreme violence and intimidation to silence conservatives and they have an agenda promoted and funded from behind the scenes. The Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP) is a large central player in Antifa violence. Rabid Rage of Leftists

Peaceable assembly is what our Constitution allows, but we’re seeing mobs of hate filled Soros paid propagandists who will attack and purposely injure both law enforcement officers and Americans who have opposing political ideologies. The Los Angeles Times editorial board called Antifa, “traitors to the thousands of peaceful demonstrators who gathered in Berkeley’s Martin Luther King Jr. Civic Park to counter a ‘No to Marxism in America’ rally” and called the group’s actions “thuggery, not activism.” In North Dakota, for instance, Antifa tried to block the Dakota Access Pipeline by burning and bombing bridges, threatening local residents and killing cattle. One “peaceful protester” tried to shoot a deputy sheriff. The left’s rage against conservatives is much more strident and rabid than that of the right against them. Their nihilistic narrative lends itself to distorting reality. Our social fabric is torn, and as such, many writers believe we are headed for a new civil war. But it is not a civil war we’re headed for…it’s another communist revolution, one like 1917 Russia, and this is their “dress rehearsal.” This is the new Red Army of Revolution, and they’re armed. Donald J. Trump upset the globalist New World Order apple cart big time. Their plans of leveling America into a third world country they could easily control have been thwarted by American voters, at least for a time. All restraint has been lifted, the socialist Democrats are showing their true colors. Hierarchy Calls for Violence

Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) recently stated that if collateral damage happens against those who disagree with the political agenda of the Democratic Party, then “so be it.” Really Nancy? I bet Congressman Steve Scalise would strongly disagree with you.

Maxine Waters committed sedition by calling for violence against the Trump administration and anyone who supports Republicans.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that you “cannot be civil” with members of the Republican Party. Link At a time when Republicans are being shot, stabbed, doxed, beaten, mailed powder, run out of restaurants, and sent death threats, Hillary Clinton urges Democrats to be even more uncivil. She said, “You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about. That’s why I believe if we are fortunate enough to win back the House or the Senate, that’s when civility can start again. But until then, the only thing the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength.” Hillary says that the Republican party is “ideological” and “driven by the lust for power.” Hell yes, we’re ideological. We love the Constitution and the liberty our Founding Fathers fought for; they succeeded in removing the shackles of tyranny. And all along the way, Liberty’s lantern was their guiding light. It is your communist democrat party Hillary that has the lust for power and will use obscene and vulgar actions against the Trump administration and his supporters. We never saw violent mobs attacking Obama and his administration during his eight-year reign. So, Hillary, who is really driven by the lust for power? What an irresponsible statement! She’s saying that violence by the left will continue until the Democrats regain power. She is promoting anarchy because they want their totalitarian societal control returned. A videotape was released of former Attorney General Eric Holder telling a Democratic audience at a recent campaign rally in Georgia that they should “kick” Republicans when they perceive them as “going low.” The Gateway Pundit reported that after attacking five separate GOP offices, Antifa has escalated their extremist activities by placing severed pig heads at multiple polling locations and campaign offices in the Austin, TX area. The Red Guards Austin recently shared a blog post with their 8,000 Facebook followers in which they commemorated Mao Zedong’s brutal communist revolution that resulted in millions of people being slaughtered. In this blog post, they called for a boycott of the “bourgeois elections” and advocated for organized revolutionary violence. Communist Training in Oakland, CA Breitbart’s article of October 17th exposes the Soros funded Rockwood Leadership Institute where political communists are trained. Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum graduated from the Oakland, California-based training school for progressive revolutionaries that has spawned a list of activists who have gone on to become the who’s who of the far-left leadership world, with many taking senior positions at organizations financed by billionaire George Soros. Notorious radicals like avowed communist Van Jones and communist Islamist Linda Sarsour are among the many famous names listed as alums. And Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum, democratic opponent of Ron DeSantis, also graduated from Soros’ Rockwood Leadership Institute. Fighting Back Without Violence Congressman Steve Scalise had his own near-death experience at the hands of a deranged Bernie Sanders supporter who sought to assassinate a baseball field full of Republicans. In his recent Fox News article, he lists a growing number of violent or threatening actions taken against conservatives by Democrats. The threats are beyond hateful. Scalise says, “In America, we win battles at the ballot box, not through mob rule or intimidation.” A new one-minute Republican ad calls attention to the left’s promotion of violence against those who do not agree with them. The ad comes after several violent attacks have been launched against Republicans in recent days, including:

Suspicious envelope causes ricin scare at Sen. Collins’ home

Dem Operative For Soros-Funded Group Attacked Female GOP Campaign Manager

Two Republican Candidates Attacked While Campaigning In Minnesota

Wyoming GOP Office Set On Fire Less Than Two Days After Opening — Police Say It Was Intentional

Sen. Cory Gardner’s Wife Allegedly Received ‘Beheading’ Video Prior To Kavanaugh Vote

Conclusion Antifa is planning a November 4th, 2018 Communist Revolution throughout America almost exactly 100 years after the Bolshevik Revolution that took Russia out of the frying pan of Tsarist rule and into the fire of communist totalitarianism. On Tuesday morning, September 26, the Antifa group Refuse Fascism blocked rush-hour traffic on the 101 freeway in CA for about a half an hour. Stretched out across the highway, holding signs spelling out, “NOV 4 IT BEGINS,” eight people chanted slogans such as “No Trump, no KKK, no fascist U.S.A.” and “Whose streets? Our streets!” Many others lined the areas above the freeway, holding banners demanding an end to the “Trump/Pence Regime” and shooting video of the blockade. Link Former New York City police officer Jim Kouri, wrote an article entitled, U.S. Citizens Urged To Arm Themselves, Stockpile Ammo, Prepare For Attacks By Antifa, Jihadists And Radical Illegal Aliens. In it he stated, The United States appears to some Americans to be on the brink of something that in the past was the theme of many works of fiction including books and motion picture about the end times — the terrifying 1984, the overly violent Clockwork Orange, the disturbing A Handmaid’s Tale, the realistic doomsday thriller Children of Men, and other works that provide readers and moviegoers with a glimpse of what mankind will eventually face when governments topple and tribalism replaces the greatness of liberty and freedom with distrust, extreme cynicism, mob rule and routinely violent civil disobedience. Jim is right, and it would be wise for all Americans to be prepared and armed…and know how to use their firearms. This is not just opinion, it is factual. We don’t want a revolution, we still want the ballot box, not the cartridge box, but patriots must be prepared.

Interest Rate Spike Will End Extreme Fakery- Gregory Mannarino

By Greg Hunter On October 24, 2018 In Market Analysis  By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com

Trader/analyst Gregory Mannarino says, “This market is coo coo,” and “we are in an environment of extremes.” Mannarino says you will know when the real crash comes by watching interest rates and the bond market, not the stock market. Mannarino explains, “The potential for a hard uncontrolled selloff in the bond market is rising. What does that mean? If bonds sell off, yields spike, and that is when we are going to know when there is a big problem in this market. Right now, they seem to have that managed pretty well. This is a managed market . . . We’ve had a managed market since the meltdown of 2008. . . . Ever since DOW 6,000, they jumped in and started buying up everything in sight. It’s not just the Federal Reserve. This is every single central bank on the planet. They are all doing the same thing at the same time. Nothing is real. This is an environment of extreme fakery. I believe they are going to keep this going until they can’t do it anymore. If you are looking for the real issue, you don’t want to look at the stock market. You want to look at the bond market first.” Mannarino says, “People are being lulled into a false sense of security.” Mannarino goes on to say, “We are told how everything is great, and we are in a global recovery. There is no global recovery. We reflated a debt bubble around the world. You can’t borrow your way into prosperity anywhere. This is what the illusion is and that is everything is okay, but it’s not. Everything is being propped up on the back of the debt bubble, which is a financial Frankenstein. What is going to happen is nothing new, although the magnitude of this one is going to be worse than we have ever seen before. We are going to have a correction to fair value. They are going to be caught on the wrong side of this, and there is no way out of this for them. . . . If you took every single bubble that we’ve had in the past and put them all on top of each other, we are still not reaching the magnitude of this one. This is going to be it, and we are going to watch a systematic destruction of the middle class. We are going back to a two-tier society.” Mannarino says the dark powers want you to think there is nothing you can do. Mannarino explains, “It’s a case of learned helplessness. People are getting into a state where they think it’s so out of control that they just throw their hands up and they just surrender. No, you can’t surrender. You’ve got to fight back. In the United States, this is supposed to be our government of the people, by the people and for the people. To leave the decisions up to the people over there at the top is insane. We are the government. Let’s take it back—period.” To protect yourself, Mannarino says, “You have to be your own central bank . . . You need to do the opposite of debt.” That means own real assets such as gold, silver, farmland, art, a house and even a car title. Simply own your stuff and get out of paper.

Talk about chills! Hurricane Willa is expected to bring first NOR'EASTER of the season with heavy rain, strong wings, and frigid temperatures on Halloween weekend

Willa has just made landfall in Mexico, but will turn into a Nor'easter this week

It's first predicted to bring rain to areas affected by hurricanes Florence, Michael

Then it's expected to merge with a cold front, bringing rain to the East Coast

NYC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Boston, among those affected

Temperatures will also remain nearly 15 degrees below the average in the East

By Dailymail.com Reporter Published: 00:13 EDT, 24 October 2018 | Updated: 03:10 EDT, 24 October 2018

It may only be October, but it appears the season's first Nor'easter is already getting ready to strike. East Coasters can blame Hurricane Willa for the early chill, which is set to bring some heavy rain, strong winds, and even some mountain snow this weekend. Willa is currently thousands of miles away, only just making landfall in Mexico. But it is expected to transition to a Nor'easter later this week as it moves into Texas, where up to several inches of rain could fall on grounds that were flooded less than a week ago. And on Thursday Willa is expected to bring strong thunderstorms and around 1 to 2 inches of rain to areas that are still reeling from hurricanes Florence and Michael. Heavy rain and isolated tornadoes could be possible in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and northern Florida as well, according to CBS News. Then Willa is expected to merge with a cold front, transforming into what could become a significant Nor'easter in the middle of Halloween weekend. Rain is expected in the likes of New York City, Baltimore, Washington DC, Philadelphia, and Boston, as well as Roanoke, Virginia, Wilmington, Delaware, Hartford, Connecticut, and Portland, Maine, according to Accuweather.  The Carolinas can expect cold showers, and heavy rain and chilly winds are expected to hit Kentucky and Tennessee with temperatures in the 40s. The Nor'easter will truly rear its ugly head on Saturday, when it is expected to reach its full strength. Winds of 50 to 70 mph are expected to hit coastal areas from Virginia to New England, with a potential for flooding as ocean waves hit up to 20 feet. Heavy 'sideways' rain is expected to lash major cities including New York City, Philadelphia, Boston, and Washington DC. New York will likely see up to 2 inches of rain, and 'gale-force winds' over 40 mph could hit the eastern end of Long Island and the New Jersey coast, according to the New York Post. Temperatures will also remain in the 40s, keeping temperatures nearly 15 degrees below average in the East. There is a potential for wet snow in the likes of the Poconos and northern New Jersey, and heavier snow is expected in the Catskills and mountains of northern New England. Parts of Vermont, Maine, and New Hampshire could see up to a foot of snow - which may cause power outages. Airline delays could also occur due to the combination of heavy rain, strong winds, and an expected low cloud ceiling. The Nor'easter is expected to move away on Sunday, keeping things dry - albeit quite chilly - for trick-or-treating come Wednesday.

Guatemala deploys troops and barbed wire at its border after Trump furiously threatened to withdraw aid to countries that let migrant caravan march to America

Thousands of migrants have crossed Guatemala's border with Honduras as they journey toward America

But now Guatemala has blocked a key crossing point with dozens of guards and barbed wire barricades

Comes after Donald Trump threatened to withdraw aid money from countries who fail to stop the migration

There are now thought to be 14,000 people heading towards the US in at least three distinct groups

By Chris Pleasance for MailOnline Published: 05:29 EDT, 24 October 2018 | Updated: 11:31 EDT, 24 October 2018

Guatemala has stationed guards and barbed wire barricades at key border crossing with Honduras in an apparent attempt to stop more migrants marching towards US. Police officers and what appear to be soldiers in combat fatigues were pictured blocking the road and checking trucks at the Aguas Calientes crossing point, which was used by the first two caravans to enter the country. It comes after President Trump vowed to cut aid money to any nation failing to stop the migrants, which for Guatemala amounted to more than $230million in 2017. The Aguas Calientes route has been used by two caravans of migrants to get into Guatemala - the first one of which has now reached Mexico, and the second of which is still in Guatemala, around 200 miles behind the first. But according to Mexican newspaper El Universal there could be another 3,000 people heading for the Guatemalan border, which authorities are hoping to block. El Universal, quoting the Mexican National Migration Institute, reports that around 7,000 migrants have already crossed into their country from Guatemala, despite attempts to block them at the border. Another 3,000 are stuck at the border crossing in Ciudad Hidalgo, the newspaper reports, while applying for paperwork to enter Mexico legally. Another 3,000-4,000 people are gathered around the border between Honduras and Guatemala, including some who have already crossed and are now heading for Mexico. The first caravan had been advancing across Mexico at the rate of 20 miles per day, reaching the town of Huixtla on Monday night, before resting on Tuesday in honor of a man who died falling from a truck. Mexican authorities said they were providing limited food, water and medical supplies to those in the caravan, including children running high temperatures from the long march. On Wednesday morning the group left Huixtla before the sun rose, intending to march around 40 miles to the town of Mapastepec, where they will rest there for the night.  Meanwhile a second caravan, believed to number around 1,500, spent Monday night in the town of Chiquimula, Guatemala, and were pictured hitching rides on trucks on Tuesday as they continued across the country. Once in Mexico, both groups face an arduous march of at least 1,000 miles to the nearest border crossing point with the US in McAllen, Texas. It is expected that many will drop out along the route and either return home or apply to reside in Mexico, as happened with another group who made the journey earlier this year. Mexico says immigration authorities have now received 1,699 refugee applications. Those people are no longer with the caravan and are being sheltered in the city of Tapachula. Another 495 Hondurans have voluntarily decided to return to their home country with assistance from Mexico. As the migrants continued in their journey, President Trump continued complaining about it on Twitter. 'For those who want and advocate for illegal immigration, just take a good look at what has happened to Europe over the last 5 years. A total mess! 'They only wish they had that decision to make over again. 'We are a great Sovereign Nation. We have Strong Borders and will never accept people coming into our Country illegally!' he tweeted on Wednesday morning. On Tuesday, the president was admitted he had 'no proof' for his claim that there were 'people from the Middle East' among the thousands of Central Americans in the group. The Department of Homeland Security, however, confirmed it for him. In a series of tweets on Tuesday, spokesman Tyler Houlton said that not only were there Middle Easterns among the group, there were criminals from 'Africa and South East Asia' too. 'DHS can confirm that there are individuals within the caravan who are gang members or have significant criminal histories. 'Citizens of countries outside Central America, including countries in the Middle East, Africa, South Asia, and elsewhere are currently traveling through Mexico toward the U.S,' he said. He went on: 'Stopping the caravan is not just about national security or preventing crime, it is also about national sovereignty and the rule of law. Those who seek to come to America must do so the right and legal way.' The majority of those fleeing Honduras say they are seeking a better life in America, blaming a lack of jobs, rampant corruption and soaring crime for leaving. In Honduras, around 80 per cent of workers earn below the minimum wage of a few hundreds dollars per month, with government welfare programs doing little to help since most of the money is siphoned off by corrupt officials. Further compounding this misery is the fact that more than 90 per cent of crimes go unsolved, including thousands of murders each year. In 2012, Honduras had the highest murder rate in the world, and while the government claims there have been significant reductions since then, these figures have not been independently verified.

Teetering On The Brink Of Disaster: 14 Of 19 Bear Market Signals Have Now Been Triggered

October 2018 is turning out to be a lot like October 2008. The S&P 500 has now fallen for 12 of the last 14 trading days, and it is on pace for its worst October since the last financial crisis. But the U.S. is actually in much better shape than the rest of the world at this point. Even though they have fallen precipitously in recent days, U.S. stocks are still up 3 percent for the year overall. On the other hand, global stocks (excluding the U.S.) are now down more than 10 percent for the year, and they are down more than 15 percent from the peak of the market in January. All it is going to take is a couple more really bad trading sessions to push global stocks into bear market territory. And even though U.S. stocks are still outperforming the rest of the world, many are anticipating that the U.S. is definitely heading for a bear market as well. According to Bank of America, 14 out of their 19 “bear market indicators” have now been triggered… “Expect a long bout of volatility,” Bank of America strategists led by Savita Subramanian wrote in a report published on Sunday. Bank of America keeps a running tally of “signposts” that signal looming bear market. The bad news is that 14 of these 19 indicators, or 74%, have been triggered. Two more were toppled earlier this month: the VIX volatility index (VIX) climbed above 20 and a growing number of Americans expect stocks to go up. Of course not all 19 indicators need to be triggered in order for a bear market to happen. These indicators are simply signposts, and what they are telling us is that big trouble could be brewing for the financial markets. And Tuesday was certainly another chaotic day for Wall Street. The Russell 2000 experienced another extremely disappointing day, and it is now officially red for the year… Small-cap stocks erased all of their gains for the year on Tuesday, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average at one point was not be too far behind. The Russell 2000, composed of publicly traded companies with a market capitalization between $300 million and about $2 billion, shed 0.8 percent on Tuesday, putting it into the red for 2018, down 0.6 percent. The number of stocks that are at 52-week lows far outnumbers those that are at 52-week highs, but a handful of big name stocks has been keeping the market from plummeting too dramatically. In the short-term, we should expect some more wild swings up and down, but meanwhile we continue to receive more troubling news about the real economy. For example, we recently learned that existing home sales were down once again last month… The metric of interest today is existing home sales. The reading came in at 5.15m units, which was well below the estimated 5.3m units and 4.1% below year ago levels. As the chart below shows, existing home sales have been falling all year long, and year-over-year growth rates have been mostly negative since September, 2017. And auto sales are way down all over the country… A growing number of auto dealers around the country is seeing a noticeable drop in retail sales and customer traffic in showrooms, raising the possibility that a long-anticipated slowdown in auto sales has arrived. “We are definitely seeing business pull back,” said Scott Adams, the owner of a Toyota dealership in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, just outside Kansas City. “September was off some, but this month our car sales are down 12 percent and our truck sales are down 23 percent.” These things would not be happening if the economy was in good shape. Every time the Federal Reserve goes through an interest rate hiking cycle it causes big problems for the economy, and this is something that President Trump alluded to during an interview with the Wall Street Journal… In an interview Tuesday with The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Trump acknowledged the independence the Fed has long enjoyed in setting economic policy, while also making clear he was intentionally sending a direct message to Mr. Powell that he wanted lower interest rates. “Every time we do something great, he raises the interest rates,” Mr. Trump said, adding that Mr. Powell “almost looks like he’s happy raising interest rates.” The president declined to elaborate, and a spokeswoman for the Fed declined to comment. No matter what President Trump does, disaster is inevitable if the Federal Reserve continues to raise rates. The Federal Reserve has far more control over the economy than Trump does, and that is why many of his supporters are hoping that Trump adopts Ron Paul’s “End the Fed” message for the 2020 presidential campaign. Speaking of the Federal Reserve, former Fed chair Paul Volcker is saying that the U.S. is facing “a hell of a mess”… Former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, who has reached legend status in the world of central banking, isn’t optimistic about current conditions. When Volcker looks around now, he sees “a hell of a mess in every direction,” including a lack of basic respect for government institutions, a current Fed that seems to be following a completely arbitrary benchmark and a “swamp” in Washington run by plutocrats. Without a doubt, it is most definitely true that we are facing “a hell of a mess”, but most Americans are entirely clueless about what is coming. In the aftermath of the 2008 crisis, the economy stabilized and global central banks were able to inflate the biggest financial bubble in human history. Once this bubble bursts, there won’t be a similar “recovery” this time around. Along with the rest of the world, the U.S. is headed for an unprecedented period of chaos and pain. We should be thankful for each day of relative stability that we are still able to enjoy, because time is rapidly running out.

Ohio: Mohamed Abdullahi beat, mutilated and burned to death 23-year-old woman

By Pamela Geller - on October 23, 2018

Mohamed Abdullahi told detectives how Simpson’s “arm was cut off above the elbow.” Mohamed Abdullahi faces abuse of corpse, arson and OVI charges in connection with the killing and burning of Bobbie Renee Simpson. On Oct. 14, a couple walking their dog in Burbank Park when they saw a burning body. “Oh my God! It looks like there’s like a mannequin, that’s not a…It looks…I don’t know sir,” the woman told a 911 dispatcher. Report: Woman found in Upper Arlington park was placed in container, set on fire News10, October 23, 2018

UPPER ARLINGTON – A man was arrested Monday in connection to a woman whose body was found burned in an Upper Arlington park Oct. 14. Upper Arlington police say 27-year-old Mohamed Abdullahi was arrested and charged with abuse of a corpse and arson. Tuesday morning, Abdullahi was given a $1 million bond in municipal court. He must stay away from the location of the incident and the family of Simpson as the conditions of his bond. He is scheduled to be back in court Nov. 1. Police said Abdullahi was stopped for a traffic violation and arrested for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. He was a person of interest in the death of 23-year-old Bobbie Simpson. Police say DNA taken from Simpson’s body matched Abdullahi. Simpson was found in Burbank Park on Sunday, Oct. 14 after a passerby reported a fire. According to the preliminary autopsy report, Simpson’s body had been placed in a container and then set on fire. The report also said there were obvious signs of trauma to the body. An official ruling of death has not been determined.

Just after U.S. warships again made a provocative passage through the Taiwan Strait on Monday, further making already strained tensions between the Washington and Beijing — currently in the midst of a trade war — even hotter, Steve LeVine at Axios poses the question long on the Western public's mind: what are the chances of a US-China war? LeVine recently crossed paths with Graham Allison, who published his explosive "Destined For War: Can America And China Escape Thucydides Trap?" a year ago which detailed the reasons for a coming major war being all but inevitable, sparking a global debate about the Harvard professor's controversial thesis. LeVine followed up with Allison in relation to the recent uptick in tensions in the region of the South China Sea: He said, if history holds, the U.S. and China appeared headed toward war. Over the weekend, I asked him for an update — specifically whether the danger of the two going to war seems to have risen. "Yes," he responded. The chance of war is still less than 50%, but "is real — and much more likely than is generally recognized."  LeVine comments of Graham Allison's central thesis, "Glued to a 2,400-year-old script, the U.S. and China seem to be on the same war-bound path that great powers have taken since Sparta fought upstart Athens." The reference is to the History of the Peloponnesian War, in which ancient Greek historian Thucydides told us the tale of a dominant regional power (Sparta) that felt threatened by the rise of a competing power (Athens). Sparta felt so threatened, in fact, that all the moves they made to keep the Athenian rise in check eventually escalated the power struggle into an all out war. The idea is that when, out of fear, a dominant power takes certain steps to keep its competitor at bay, these actions ultimately lead to war between the two, or what modern political scientists call the Thucydides Trap. "If Thucydides were watching, he’d likely say all parties almost seem to be competing to show who can best exemplify the role as rising power, ruling power, and provocateur." — Graham Allison  LeVine summarizes, based on Allison's latest comments, that now more than ever the two great powers are inching toward that trap in their brinkmanship based on an "inexorable, invisible force prodding them to almost inevitable war". Per the Axios report: The U.S. has slapped increasing tariffs on Beijing, cordoned off U.S. tech, and jailed a Chinese spy, while Beijing has continued to build its military footprint in the disputed South China Sea, demanded tech secrets from Western companies, and more. But would the current trade war alone or even wide scale tech theft and a few encounters on the open seas be enough to trigger escalation and actual war? Likely not, says Allison, but instead a WWI type scenario of an unintended domino effect of one-upmanship in which, for example, the simple assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand triggered massive escalation leading to world war. By a similar scenario, writes LeVine of Allison's comments, "the two countries will be pulled into conflict by miscalculation involving a third party, such as Taiwan." Says Professor Graham Allison: "What happens is that a third-party provocation, an accident, becomes a trigger to which one of the two feels obliged to respond. and they find themselves in a war that neither wanted." We saw precisely this almost happen between the US and Russia over Syria on multiple occasions over the past two years — especially with the September accidental downing of the Russian IL-20 surveillance plane with 15 crew members on board after US ally Israel launched a wide scale missile assault on Syrian government facilities. Currently, what the Pentagon called a “routine” operation as two US Navy vessels sailed through the Taiwan Strait has sparked fury with Beijing, with the Chinese Foreign Ministry on Tuesday saying it's expressed "deep concern" to the United States over the action, which was the second such operation this year. Foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said in reaction to the incident at a press briefing on Tuesday, “The Taiwan issue concerns China’s sovereignty and territory, and is the most important, most sensitive issue in China-U.S. relations.” The Pentagon, for its part, repeated its position of a "U.S. commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific,” per Commander Nate Christensen, deputy spokesman for U.S. Pacific Fleet, via Reuters. “The U.S. Navy will continue to fly, sail and operate anywhere international law allows,” he added. Meanwhile, a crucial piece in the South Morning China Post entitled, Taiwan's cosying up to Trump could spark a China-US war, takes us down memory lane, and outlines precisely - based on recent history - how easily the world could be on the brink of an all-out US-China war per Graham Allison's thesis: This is not the first time Taiwan has become a central issue in US-China relations. In the 1960 US presidential debate, John Kennedy and Richard Nixon traded barbs over whether America should launch a nuclear war against China to protect the tiny islands of Matsu and Quemoy, or Kinmen, in the event of a communist invasion. Trump might now see Taiwan as an increasingly valuable point of leverage over China, but Beijing will make no compromise on this politically most sensitive issue as it considers Taiwan a “core interest”. As the US and China drift dangerously towards direct conflict, Taiwan should be cautious. The narrow Taiwan Strait could be the flashpoint that sparks war between the world’s most powerful nations. Indeed the "Thucydides trap" might be right there in this seemingly remote strait that could very well be the flashpoint that takes us past the brink.

The Impending Alien Invasion

How the Left plays the “compassion card” for destructive ends.

October 23, 2018 Michael Cutler

Headlines have been written proclaiming that a “caravan of migrants” is heading for the U.S./Mexican border. Sometimes the people who are heading north through Central America are referred to as “refugees” or “immigrants.” Those terms are designed to downplay the threat that these individuals pose and assuage the fears that this may understandably engender in Americans. Words do matter.  In point of fact, the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) defines an alien simply as being, “Any person, not a citizen or national of the United States.” There is no insult in the term “alien” or in its definition, but there is clarity. The obvious goal of the radical Left is to obfuscate the truth through Orwellian use of language that has been mis-portrayed as “political correctness.” Shortly after President Trump was elected I wrote about this intentional misuse of language in my article, The Left’s Orwellian Tactics. Remarkably, the radical Left had no problem using the term “alien” when they needed a word that began with the letter “A” for the DREAM Act, an acronym for Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors. While we are on the topic of words, perhaps the term "invasion" should be substituted for "caravan." Invasion is defined, in part, as an incursion by a large number of people or things into a place or sphere of activity or an unwelcome intrusion into another's domain. It is therefore important to note that Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution provides: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence. Furthermore, the mainstream media has blithely ignored a fact that was reported upon on October 18, 2018 by Judicial Watch: 100 ISIS Terrorists Caught in Guatemala as Central American Caravan Heads to U.S. This eye-opening report began with this sentence: In a startling revelation, Guatemala’s president announced in the country’s largest newspaper that nearly 100 ISIS terrorists have been apprehended in the impoverished Central American nation. Now the growing mob of aspiring illegal aliens is heading to the United States, purportedly to seek political asylum here. When interviewed by reporters, some of these people have claimed that they were living in poverty and wanted better opportunities in the United States, while others talked about their fear of violence in their home countries. They have undoubtedly been encouraged by the leadership of the Democrat Party which treats illegal aliens with reverence while castigating ICE agents who routinely go in harm’s way to investigate and arrest aliens engaged in criminal activities in the U.S. Certainly, demands made by the leaders of the Democrat Party that ICE be disbanded altogether and all interior enforcement of our immigration laws be terminated are music to the ears of these aliens. Sanctuary cities beckon illegal aliens and the criminals, gang members, fugitives and terrorists among them, encouraging them and inducing them to head for the United States and claim “asylum.” However, when an individual flees his/her native country seeking asylum, they are supposed to apply for asylum in the first country that they enter. Hondurans entering Guatemala, for example, should apply for asylum in Guatemala. Furthermore, asylum claims are supposed to be solely based on the applicant demonstrating a “credible fear” that he/she faces persecution or worse, because of their race, religion, political views or other such factors. Fleeing general violence in their home countries or seeking economic opportunities not available there are not considered grounds for asylum. On June 11, 2018 Attorney General Jeff Sessions laid out his concerns about the misuse of Political Asylum in prepared remarks he delivered when he addressed the Executive Office for Immigration Review Legal Training Program. Here is an important excerpt: The asylum system is being abused to the detriment of the rule of law, sound public policy, and public safety— and to the detriment of people with just claims. Saying a few simple words—claiming a fear of return—is now transforming a straightforward arrest for illegal entry and immediate return into a prolonged legal process, where an alien may be released from custody into the United States and possibly never show up for an immigration hearing. This is a large part of what has been accurately called, “catch and release”. Beginning in 2009, more and more aliens who passed an initial USCIS credible fear review were released from custody into the United States pending a full hearing. Powerful incentives were created for aliens to come here illegally and claim a fear of return. In effect, word spread that by asserting this fear, they could remain in the United States one way or the other. Far too often, that rumor proved to be true. Attorney General Sessions noted that while the number of illegal entrants increased dramatically and with that increase the number of credible fears claims skyrocketed, the percentage of claims approved by Immigration Judges declined. He went on to state that for the last five years only 20 percent of claims were found to be valid by Immigration Judges. Here is another important quote from his statement: Further illustrating this point, in 2009, DHS conducted more than 5,000 credible fear reviews. By 2016, only seven years later, that number had increased to 94,000. The number of these aliens placed in immigration court proceedings went from fewer than 4,000 to more than 73,000 by 2016—nearly a 19-fold increase—overwhelming the system and leaving legitimate claims buried. The overwhelmed immigration system suffers a lack of integrity. This means that criminals and terrorists are less likely to be discovered, thus threatening national security and public safety. The official report, 9/11 and Terrorist Travel - Staff Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States included this quote: Terrorists in the 1990s, as well as the September 11 hijackers, needed to find a way to stay in or embed themselves in the United States if their operational plans were to come to fruition. As already discussed, this could be accomplished legally by marrying an American citizen, achieving temporary worker status, or applying for asylum after entering. In many cases, the act of filing for an immigration benefit sufficed to permit the alien to remain in the country until the petition was adjudicated. Terrorists were free to conduct surveillance, coordinate operations, obtain and receive funding, go to school and learn English, make contacts in the United States, acquire necessary materials, and execute an attack. My article, Congressional Hearing: Iranian Sleeper Cells Threaten U.S. focused on a hearing conducted on April 17, 2018 by the House Counterterrorism and Intelligence Subcommittee, on the topic, "State Sponsors Of Terrorism: An Examination Of Iran’s Global Terrorism Network." My article included an excerpt of the prepared testimony of one of the witnesses, Dr. Emanuele Ottolenghi of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies: In recent years, Hezbollah’s Latin American networks have also increasingly cooperated with violent drug cartels and criminal syndicates, often with the assistance of local corrupt political elites. Cooperation includes laundering of drug money; arranging multi-ton shipments of cocaine to the United States and Europe; and directly distributing and selling illicit substances to distant markets. Proceeds from these activities finance Hezbollah’s arms procurement; its terror activities overseas; its hold on Lebanon’s political system; and its efforts, both in Lebanon and overseas, to keep Shi’a communities loyal to its cause and complicit in its endeavors. This toxic crime-terror nexus is fueling both the rising threat of global jihadism and the collapse of law and order across Latin America that is helping drive drugs and people northward into the United States. It is sustaining Hezbollah’s growing financial needs. It is helping Iran and Hezbollah consolidate a local constituency in multiple countries across Latin America. It is thus facilitating their efforts to build safe havens for terrorists and a continent-wide terror infrastructure that they could use to strike U.S. targets. My April 19, 2018 article, Jihadis And Drug Cartel At Our Border, was predicated by a previous caravan of aspiring illegal aliens heading to the United States through Latin America. In it, I provided the link to a report about the terror threat presented by terror training camps that are located in the Tri-Border Region of Brazil. The paper Islamist Terrorist Threat in the Tri-Border Region was published by Jeffrey Fields, Research Associate, Center for Nonproliferation Studies. After the terror attacks of 9/11 there was no shortage of politicians, including Democrats, who demanded to know, “Why didn’t anyone connect the dots?” The dots have all been well-connected but today, the agenda of the globalists and the crazed radical Left take priority over national security and public safety and commonsense. The globalists and the immigration anarchists are playing the “compassion card” insisting that America demonstrate compassion in dealing with massive numbers of illegal aliens -- whose identities and backgrounds cannot be verified and who therefore pose a threat to the safety and well-being of America and Americans. Simply stated, suicide is not an act of compassion.

Twitter won’t ban Farrakhan for calling Jews “termites,” but bans patriots for calling liberals mindless NPCs

Tuesday, October 23, 2018 by: JD Heyes

(Natural News) In a Sunday post at Axios, co-founder Jim VandeHei implored his fellow Left-wing journalists to stop using Twitter because they demonstrate their “liberal bias” every day. “News organizations should ban their reporters from doing anything on social media — especially Twitter — beyond sharing stories. Snark, jokes and blatant opinion are showing your hand, and it always seems to be the left one. This makes it impossible to win back the skeptics,” he wrote. Well, it’s not likely that his colleagues would show anything but their Left-wing bias because that’s who and what they are. And Twitter enables them by refusing to censor or ban any of them, no matter how repulsive their tweets. Because that’s what Twitter is. As noted by The Daily Wire, Twitter recently banned some conservatives who called Bradley (Chelsea) Manning a traitor for leaking classified information (hint: he is), but if a noted         Left-wing leader of the Nation of Islam – Louis Farrakhan – calls Jews “termites,” nothing happens. MINISTER FARRAKHAN @LouisFarrakhan I'm not an anti-Semite. I’m anti-Termite.

5:05 PM - Oct 16, 2018 3,432 5,132 people are talking about this

“I’m not an anti-Semite,” Farrakhan tweeted recently. “I’m anti-termite.”

Nice, huh? Joe Bernstein, a reporter for Left-leaning Buzzfeed News, couldn’t allow that slur – and Twitter’s obvious ethnic bias – to go unchallenged.

“Just in from a @Twitter spokesperson: Louis Farrakhan’s tweet comparing Jews to termites is not in violation of the company’s policies. The policy on dehumanizing language has not yet been implemented. So if you want to compare Jews to rats/insects – get it in while you can!” he tweeted.

Joe Bernstein @Bernstein Just in from a @Twitter spokesperson: Louis Farrakhan's tweet comparing Jews to termites is not in violation of the company's policies. The policy on dehumanizing language has not yet been implemented.

So if you want to compare Jews to rats/insects - get it in while you can!

3:03 PM - Oct 17, 2018 23.8K 11.7K people are talking about this

Okay, so Twitter did take some action: Farrakhan’s blue verification checkmark has been removed, but only after he tweeted, “Thoroughly and completely unmasking the Satanic Jew and the Synagogue of Satan.” The comparison to an insect, however, was still just fine with Twitter’s obviously biased content managers, even though the social media platform’s rules state that no “dehumanizing” speech would be allowed. Right. (Related:BUSTED: Undercover media sting reveals Twitter targeting conservatives and independent media for censorship via “shadow bans”.) Buzzfeed News noted further that Twitter announced only three weeks ago that “non-targeted dehumanizing speech” would not be tolerated on the platform and would be banned. An example of such speech is, “Statements along the lines of ‘All members of protected group X are dogs or rats or whatever.’ Social media giants will never voluntarily be fair to conservatives The site reported: Twitter — which already has a policy against hateful conduct and prohibits attacking people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, and serious disease — says the new policy would expand on this. Officials with Twitter claimed that they also considered user feedback when adopting the expanded policy. “We wanted to hear from the broadest array of people that we could come up with about what they like and what they hate,” said Del Harvey, Twitter’s vice president of trust and safety, in an interview with BuzzFeed News. “Getting feedback from people will give us the opportunity to bring people along with us into the considerations that go into making this policy.” Apparently not. That hasn’t stopped Leftist media types who are trying to provoke the platform into banning its most high-profile userPOTUS Donald Trump – while pretending he tweets racist, provocative things like “infest” when he’s talking about illegal aliens flooding into the country. Meanwhile, the platform continues to ban conservatives. It banned Infowars and Alex Jones over what its content Nazis deemed a provocation in violation of “abusive behavior” rules. Also, the platform banned GayPatriot, a popular account run by Bruce Carroll, last week even though he wasn’t even given a reason other than ‘being hateful’ – just that he had been banned and it would not be restored.  Twitter’s decision to unevenly enforce its rules has drawn a lot of criticism from tens of millions of Americans and even members of Congress, but none of it has mattered. The platform continues to treat conservatives and POTUS Trump supporters as lepers while giving racists and bigots like Farrakhan all the speech they want.

6 Robots That Could Destroy You If They Really Wanted To

by Jonathan Leack Oct 23rd, 2018  Photo: NurPhoto / Contributor (Getty Images)

Robots and machine learning are two of the biggest trends in 2018. It seems like every month we’re seeing impressive (and sometimes frightening) new robot designs, all intended to replace supplement the human race. As we head into a future where robots become a prevailing force in our society, it’s time to prepare for the worst. Terminator might be fictional, but these things are nearly as capable and actually real. Below we’ll overview six robots that you should know about as you continue with your karate classes. Made By: Boston Dynamics Height: 6 feet Favorite Activity: Doing backflips  Atlas isn’t just an ordinary robot that walks around trying to blend in as if it’s one of us. It can parkour without breaking a sweat. We don’t just mean jumping over small objects and planking on car hoods, either. Built as a search-and-rescue robot with funding and oversight by DARPA, it has fine motor skills, 28 degrees of freedom, and jumping ability that Michael Jordan would be jealous of. That said, do you really think you can outrun it through a parking structure? Think again. If there was one robot that would ever be capable of winning an Olympic gold medal, this is the one. The Boston Dynamics Atlas is a beast, and you better hope it never goes rogue. Made By: ForwardX Height: 14.9 inches Favorite Activity: Following you around Under Oath: Pepper The Creepy Robot Will Appear Before UK Parliament As A Witness Next Week Hidden among the halls of this year’s CES was the CX-1, a robot that creator ForwardX says is a practical application of robotics. Intended to autonomously follow the owner around like a dog using a variety of sensors, it’s a neat idea, especially if you like looking cool when you walk into an airport. The CX-1 does come with an alert wristband that lets you know if it strays too far from you, but who’s to say it can’t decide to stub your toe and then take off for a nearby food court? Are you really going to trust it to carry your luggage during a trip to Hawaii? Then again, if you can afford this neat piece of technology, you can probably afford to lose a few thousands of dollars in clothing.  3. Handle Made By: Boston Dynamics Height: 6 feet Favorite Activity: Jumping over objects with luggage on its back As if Wheelers couldn’t be any more creepy, this machine does everything they can do and can jump over obstacles, all while carrying over 40 pounds of cargo. Notice how all the spectators in the GIF above are hiding behind thick panes of glass? Can you really blame them? As odd as it looks in motion, the Handle is a highly capable machine. A wealth of research has gone into its platform, making it balanced and mobile on virtually every surface. This might just be the future of UPS drivers if Amazon’s flying drones don’t work out. 4. OctopusGripper Made By: Festo Height: 8.67 inches  Favorite Activity: Copping feels Festo did a good job of making this bizarre creation look better than it probably should have. I mean, it’s literally a severed arm with an octopus tentacle replacing its hand. The color scheme and overall design look great, but we still wouldn’t be caught putting my arm anywhere near this thing. That said, we’d love to see it arm wrestle Devon Larratt. The OctopusGripper has an 8.67-inch tapered tentacle arm lined with dozens of suction cups. What it’s useful for is anyone’s guess, but we have a feeling they’re meant to replace bartenders. 5. Sophia Made By: Hong Kong’s Hanson Robotics Height: 5 feet 11 inches Favorite Activity: Looking creepy Also See: This Robot Picks Things Up And Then Screws Them We can admire Hanson Robotics for trying to make Sophia look as human-like as possible, but it’s not our fault it looks like something straight out of Men in Black. We were about to say, “Don’t judge a book by its cover,” and then we remembered Sophia gained notoriety for saying that she wants to “Destroy all humans” during a television interview. Whether or not she was joking, Sophia is certainly the most realistic robot we’ve seen. She performs surprisingly well in public speaking situations, kind of looks like a human being when she’s talking about killing them, and can somehow sustain eye contact while following faces. If this is what robotics is capable of in 2018, we’re terrified of what’s to come. 6. SpotMini Made By: Boston Dynamics Height: 2 feet 7.5 inches Favorite Activity: Opening doors to impress people Boston Dynamics says that the design of SpotMini was inspired by canines. While that may be true, what’s up with the snakehead? This dog-snake is a thing of nightmares once you realize that not only can it run faster than Usain Bolt, but it can open doors more quickly than a professional PUBG player. That snakehead isn’t just for show, either. Like a lobster claw, it can snatch things right from your hands, or your hand itself. SpotMini made headlines recently while showing off its dance moves. Unlike most robots, it’s meant to serve as a companion. Quite a few people are interested, to the point where Boston Dynamics has ramped up production in recent months. If that means that we’ll be seeing lots of these running around in the park, then we might just end up staying home more often.

When You Can't Believe Your Eyes Or Ears, Then You Really Are Living in The Matrix - Lawsuit Against 'Crowds On Demand' Proves Fake Protesters Are Distorting Reality

By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine October 24, 2018

Most all Independent Media readers have seen the amount of "fake news" generated out of the liberal establishment press. One recent example was when the MSM selectively edited a clip of speech President Trump gave to make it appear as if he called General Robert E. Lee a "great general." Cue the manufactured outrage: Those are just a small sample from the first page of a search showing how "outraged" liberals were over his supposed comment, yet as can be seen by NBC News correction (They were one of a few that bothered to make a correction), President Trumps words were taken out of context. Via NBC's Twitter account, they stated "CORRECTION: An earlier tweet misidentified the general President Trump described as "incredible" at a rally in Ohio. It was Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, not Gen. Robert E. Lee. An attached video clip lacked the full context for Trump's remark. Here is the full clip." Those type of "mistakes" have become the normal for the MSM these days, all part of a carefully implemented plan to distort reality. We have seen fake news websites, created to look exactly like the real thing, making people think they are on something like ABC News, but with a .co after the URL, and all the stories at the time on that site were fake news. We have seen photo shopped images go viral, and they even have software out there that can generate a completely fake video of someone saying something that they never said, or said at a different time than what is being shown. The example below shows how an artificial intelligence tool can be used to take an existing audio file, converting them into mouth movements, then grafting those movements into an existing video. DISTORTING REALITY It is utterly astounding how many different technologies are being created with the sole purpose of tricking people into believing things are are completely false. Technology and the MSM are not the only ones trying to distort reality, to make it so you cannot believe what you are seeing or hearing in order to mislead, but as a recent news item shows, there are companies that offer the service of paid protesters, which many of us have heard of before, but now one of those companies has been named in a lawsuit as being a tool used in order to extort a man for $23 million. The lawsuit is described by The Sacramento Bee in the following manner: But according to a lawsuit filed by a Czech investor, Crowds on Demand also takes on more sordid assignments. Zdenek Bakala claims the company has been used to run an extortion campaign against him. Bakala has accused Prague investment manager Pavol Krupa of hiring Crowds on Demand to pay protesters to march near his home in Hilton Head, S.C., and to call and send emails to the Aspen Institute and Dartmouth College, where Bakala is on advisory boards, urging them to cut ties to him. Bakala alleges that Krupa has threatened to continue and expand the campaign unless Bakala pays him $23 million. Many of us have seen the Craigslist ads for crisis actors or ads to pay people to either show up somewhere to support a cause or protest something, but Crowds On Demand's entire business is based on faking a grass roots movement, so the images on TV of "huge" protests, could quite literally be an event they entirely created, with very little "grass roots" support to begin with. From their Protests, Rallies and Advocacy page: If you need to hire protesters, we can get a crowd on the street, sometimes within 24 hours time. If you need speakers to present at a council meeting, we can provide talented and well-spoken individuals to advocate for the cause. We also have a dedicated team of phone-banking staff who can call Congressional Offices and convince government officials to support your cause and help you overcome opposition. If you need lots of letters and emails written from constituents, we have a network of tens of thousands of individuals across the country who can send well-written constituent letters to their representatives. We provide a cost-effective way to lobby government to pass or defeat legislation, push for approval of projects, and influence government in a grassroots manner. We are the ultimate guerilla lobbying and government relations firm. According to Crowds On Demand, they will supply everything from people to materials, such as the signs we see protesters holding up for the media. This is called "astroturfing," where what appears to be a grassroots movement, or protest, is in reality nothing more than a bunch of paid actors pushing an agenda. Think about that for a minute or two, the purpose of writing or calling your congressional representatives is to make your voice heard, yet we have companies basing their business model into countering a real "voice" with a paid "voice," which undermines the entire process.... and these tactics are legal? Our entire Republic is being undermined by companies like Crowd On Demand because their sole purpose is to make money by distorting reality. The media for their part doesn't bother to even delve into who the "protesters" are at any event, be it the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings or a supposedly spontaneous flash mob, they simply provide wall-to-wall coverage of any huge protest, further pushing the narrative that (insert whatever the cause here) is highly unpopular, spurring more outrage on the part of their audience. BOTTOM LINE When it comes to video clips or images, or even the news we read, it is critical for readers/viewers to do their own research. Independent Media for the most part will provide links, actual news clips, embed documents when available in order to help their audience find the original material so they can verify our assertions. But when you cannot trust your eyes (seeing a huge crowd of protesters) or your ears (hearing their complaints and chants) because those very protesters could be paid actors organized by companies like Crowds on Demand, then we really are living in the matrix.

Is This The Democrats 'October Surprise?' Funded By Globalists, This Act Of War Is Part Of The Planned Take Down Of America

- There Is So Much More Than Meets The Eye To This 'Caravan'

By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die October 23, 2018

While President Trump tweeted Monday morning that the approaching immigrant caravan of more than 7,000 people is a 'national emergency' as they head towards America, the Clarion Project reports on part of the reason why with 100 terrorists captured in Guatemala, including members of ISIS, while more than 1,000 gang members were also arrested. Although Democrats attempted to downplay President Trump's tweet asking where the proof was that 100 terrorists had been arrested, as the Daily Mail reports, it was Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales who had made that announcement. And while President Trump has announced that the US will be cutting off or substantially reducing the massive amount of financial aid that we're already giving to Honduras and Guatemala due to them doing nothing to stop the procession despite President Trump's request, it's easy to understand why some are calling the massive still growing caravan an 'act of war against the United States' . As we've previously reported on ANP, 'illegal immigration' has been used as an act of war in attempts to overthrow sovereign nations throughout history and as we hear in the first video below, a Fox News video featuring a fully LEGAL immigrant to America, what is happening south of our border is a very real 'invasion'. And as Wikipedia reports, the nation of Honduras, where the large majority of this illegal immigrant caravan has originated from, has one of the highest homicide rates and violent crime statistics in the world. Legal Immigrants for America founder Amapola Hansberger agrees with President Trump when she warns that the caravan of over 7,000 migrants, from what Congressman Steve King recently called some of the most violent countries in the world, is an 'immediate threat' to U.S. national security. As the Washington Times reported this morning in a story that was linked to by the White House itself over at 'West Wing Reads', the Department of Homeland Security has warned about the role of the drug cartels in the caravan and the 'ease of entry' being a selling point to the criminals who "already control the drug and human smuggling routes into the U.S. and require payment of a “mafia fee” just to cross the U.S.-Mexico boundary line." And while Chris Menahan over at Information Liberation reported a few days ago that a video captured cash being handed out to the Honduran migrant caravan, the NY Times reported days ago that George Soros and Democrats had nothing to do with this march. Though Infowars reported on October 20th that actual UN documents prove the United Nations is helping to fund this as seen and heard in the 2nd video below. And with America now being squeezed in the center with DRAMA QUEEN Justin Trudeau tap dancing around the question about why he has invited a British jihadi who fought with ISIS to Canada, while hordes of potential jihadis flood up from the South, could part of the globalists agenda to overthrow America consist of Trudeau allowing jihadis and others hostile to America in through our completely open Northern border? And if we need any more evidence of Trudeau's complicity, we get it in this new story over at Zero Hedge which Steve Quayle linked to on his website Monday night reporting that Canada has just installed underwater Chinese monitoring devices near a US submarine base and they're now fully operational. And as we read in the new SQAlert that we've republished in the next section of this story below from 'Brother Bob', everything that we've been witnessing is part of the planned take down of America. 'Brother Bob's' warning also echoes a warning given many years ago by Pastor Henry Gruver of his prophetic vision of a planned Russian and Chinese invasion of America, leading to our total destruction in the last days. He warns there may be nothing that can stop civil war breaking out in America while warning 'our enemies' are "waiting with 'baited breath', waiting to pounce upon the 'Great Satan' and her hatred rivalries". Much more below on the caravan and the possibility that extreme (engineered?) weather may play into their 1,000 mile plow northward towards the United States as we hear from Pastor Paul Begley in the final video below. But first, this new SQAlert from 'Brother Bob': WORD FROM BROTHER BOB, CONCERNING THE PLANNED TAKE DOWN OF THE U.S..BY FLOODING THE BORDER WITH IMMIGRANTS The Father spoke again; Watch the changing weather patterns and the tracking thereof; as these impact the caravan. Weather patterns will affect the advancing "immigrant carvan/unruly mob; demanding (illegal) entrance into the United States Of America.” They consider this as their legal human right to escape poverty, oppression from their own governments, violence, etc., which they are also bringing with them to unleash upon America. America, thus being the country they love to hate and so desperately desire to change into their own cultures and images of what freedom means to them. They will declare, ”The hell with America and Americans. we are coming and you cannot stop us!Watch the weather! It will be used with, "the cry to save us from disaster. Have a humanitarian heart and do the right thing and have mercy upon us! Think of our women and children!” They will use the United Nations as their "Trump Card," to demonstrate and show the world how heartless and “how awfully terrible America — and the American people really are.” **IF this is NOT STOPPED ..America will be at civil war, within the US, before Christmas. All of this is being timed for the Mid-Term elections as, "the October Surprise." It is being funded by many Socialists, Leftists or Communists, and backed by the Black Shirts of Antifa (akin to Nazism's Brown Shirts prior to Adolf Hitler's takeover). Our beloved America is at her Rubicon and history will judge America as ruled by her United States Constitution; or ruled by an unruly mob and pernicious authorities. A previously mentioned false flag IED attack may also very well be detonated among this hoard heading towards America's southern border; if so, the insanity of the Progressive Left will be.. and or will become, unstoppable. It will mean all out civil war; with thousands killed, wounded, maimed before 31 December 2018. May God Almighty have and show great mercy upon our beloved homeland of America! Russia, China, North Korea, and Muslim nations are waiting with, "baited breath, waiting to pounce upon the “Great Satan” and her hatred rivalries. They know this is the long awaited moment to take down and destroy America...They Will Not Waste This." Bob **If NOT stopped is the caveat While President Trump recently stated he'd use as many US military members as necessary to keep the still growing caravan out of America, we expect that in the coming days as potentially catastrophic weather in the form of hurricane Willa arrives, the mainstream media will immediately pick up a 'poor them' narrative, attempting to paint those as victims of not only the weather but President Trump and deplorables as well. Yet while they'll surely blame POTUS Trump as they always do, as the Conservative TreeHouse reported in this October 21st story titled "Growing Invasion Force Overwhelms Mexican Authorities – Approximately 10,000 Now Traveling through Mexico to U.S. Southern Border", despite media claims to the contrary, elected Mexican officials previously promised to allow the invasion of Central America. And why hasn't the Honduran government that enabled the huge crime waves that sparked this exodus from the country been held accountable? As we've seen in this story, there is so much more than meets the eye to this caravan story that will be unfolding with the world's eyes on it in the coming weeks leading up to the mid-term elections leading us to ask, is this the Democrat's version of an 'October Surprise?' With the caravan also energizing Republicans to get to the voting booths to vote for pro-border-security candidates to make sure that these mobs of humanity don't continue to attempt to come into America unabated, if this is the Democrats 'October Surprise', it, too, may blow up in their faces. And as we see and hear in the 2nd video below, it is also clearly part of what the globalists had for well over a decade hoped to be their 'end game', an 'end game' resulting in the complete destruction of America as we once knew and loved it.

UNDER JUSTIN TRUDEAU, Canada is now the best country in the world in which to be a Muslim terrorist

October 23, 2018 by BareNakedIslam

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has just announced that he wants jail sentences for terrorism offenses to be REDUCED to only six months. Brian Lilley (h/t Marvin W) On the morning of October 22, 2014, Muslim terrorist Michael Zehaf-Bibeau shot and killed Cpl Nathan Cirillo at the National War Memorial before storming Centre Block. As he ran down the central corridor firing bullets from his rifle, any one of the MPs stepping out of the caucus room at the wrong time could have been killed by one of those bullets. We found out later that Zehaf-Bibeau acted alone, inspired by jihadis around the world. It was a terrorist act. In the House of Commons today MPs stood and memorialized the attack on Parliament Hill and the attack two days earlier in St. Jean-sur-Richlieu that killed Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau even announced he and his Liberal government would support a Conservative motion calling for a plan, within 45 days, to bring Canadian ISIS fighters to justice. However, Bill C-75, currently before the House of Commons, calls for a whole raft of crimes to be treated under summary conviction. That includes terrorism offences.

Participation in activity of terrorist group

Leaving Canada to participate in activity of terrorist group

Advocating or promoting commission of terrorism offences

Concealing person who carried out terrorist activity

Concealing person who is likely to carry out terrorist activity

These offenses currently have sentences ranging from a maximum of five years to 14 years in prison. Under Trudeau’s Bill C-75, that could be reduced to a maximum of six months in prison. The changes being brought in by the Liberals allow for each of those offences to proceed via summary conviction. Under the criminal code, the rules are clear, maximum six months in jail. So while Trudeau stands up and tells Parliament that he is dealing with the issue of returning ISIS fighters and that it is a criminal code offence to leave Canada and join a group like ISIS, he isn’t telling the whole truth. He isn’t telling Canadians that he’d like to see some of these fighters spend a maximum of six months in jail for joining this heinous group. This is not the only problem with Bill C-75. It has been attacked from the left and the right, defence lawyers, law and order advocates. It reduces sentences for many awful crimes.

Suffice to say that this is simply the outlook of the current Liberal government. Liberals are often branded, sometimes unfairly, of being soft on crime. In this case, Justin Trudeau is soft on crime, AND on terrorism.

Second migrant caravan: New group rushes to join ranks, deportees vow return to America

By Greg Norman | Fox News

As the massive migrant caravan pushes toward the southern U.S. border, a second group of about 1,000 people from Honduras is rushing to join the main group -- which reportedly has swelled its ranks with several people who've already been deported. The caravan, which has around 5,000 to 7,000 members, was on the move again Monday morning, departing the southern Mexico city of Tapachula. The smaller group trailing it entered Guatemala from Honduras late Sunday, according to the Associated Press.

Hawaiian island erased by powerful hurricane: ‘The loss is a huge blow’

East Island has vanished after coming into contact with Hurricane Walaka, an intense storm that hit Hawaii earlier this month

Oliver Milman in New York @olliemilman Wed 24 Oct 2018 07.49 EDT

A piece of the United States has been dramatically wiped off the map after an island in Hawaii was washed away by a powerful hurricane. East Island, a remote spit of gravel and sand that sat atop a coral reef, has vanished after having this misfortune to come into contact with Hurricane Walaka, an intense storm that surged past Hawaii earlier this month. Scientists have confirmed the disappearance of the 11-acre island after comparing satellite images of the surrounding French Frigate Shoals, part of an enormous protected marine area in the north-western Hawaiian Islands. “I uttered a swear word. I had a ‘holy cow!’ moment, somewhat in disbelief that it had disappeared,” said Chip Fletcher, a professor of earth sciences at the University of Hawaii. Fletcher and his colleagues were in the process of researching East Island through drone videos and taking samples of sand and corals to ascertain the age of the island and gauge its future prospects in the face of climate change. “The island was probably one to two thousand years old and we were only there in July, so for it to be lost right now is pretty bad luck,” Fletcher said. “We wanted to monitor the island so we are disappointed it has gone, but on the other hand we have learned these islands are far more at risk than we thought. I thought the island would be around for a decade or two longer, but it’s far more fragile than I appreciated. The top, middle and bottom of it has gone.” East Island was, at about half a mile long and 400ft wide, the second largest island in the the French Frigate Shoals, an atoll in the far western reaches of the Hawaiian archipelago. Until 1952, it hosted a US Coast Guard radar station. Despite its size, the island played an important role for wildlife, including the critically endangered Hawaiian monk seal, a species that numbers just 1,400 individuals, with many of the seals raising their young on East Island. Green sea turtles, which are also threatened, and seabirds such as albatrosses, which often had their young preyed upon by circling tiger sharks, also depended on the island. “The loss is a huge blow,” Fletcher said. “Little did we know it could disappear so quickly.” If conditions align, an atoll would always be at a small risk of being erased by a powerful hurricane. But climate change is causing the ocean and atmosphere to warm, making storms fiercer, while there’s evidence that hurricanes are moving further north into the latitudes where East Island once lay. Rising sea levels are also eroding away low-lying islands, with several fragments of land in the Pacific vanishing in recent years. Our planet can’t take many more populists like Brazil’s Bolsonaro Jonathan Watts Read more “The take-home message is climate change is real and it’s happening now,” Randy Kosaki, a senior official for the Hawaii monument at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, told Honolulu Civil Beat, which first reported the disappearance of East Island. “It’s not a hoax propagated in China as some folks have said.” The French Frigate Shoals sits in the Papahānaumokuākea marine national monument, which became the largest marine reserve in the world when expanded by the Obama administration in 2016. The 1,350-mile string of coral islands, seamounts and shoals feature a riot of life, including coral, fish, birds and mammals, many unique to Hawaii. A statement by the federal managers of the monument said that East Island “appears to be under water”, while the neighboring Tern island had its shape altered by the hurricane. “Monument co-managers are working to better understand the implications for cultural resources and wildlife, protected species and their habitat within the Monument,” the statement added. “We will continue to monitor the species and islands to better assess the impacts from the hurricane. Based on the data, managers will determine next steps and management actions.”

HRW report: PA, Hamas are torturing Palestinians

HRW said that while the authorities regularly receive citizen complaints and have systems to investigate them, only a minority have resulted in a finding of wrongdoing.

By Yonah Jeremy Bob October 23, 2018 09:55

The Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza “routinely arrest and torture peaceful critics,” Human Rights Watch said in a 149-page report released on Tuesday detailing Palestinians’ violations of their own people’s rights. The report, “Two Authorities, One Way, Zero Dissent,” is the most comprehensive one that the NGO has done focusing on Palestinian- against-Palestinian torture since at least 2011. Be the first to know - Join our Facebook page. Since the Hamas coup seizing the Gaza Strip from the PA in 2006 and the failure of national unity efforts, the report said that the PA-Hamas feud has deepened, leading each to target the other’s supporters – sometimes even more than Israel and Israeli “collaborators.” The PA also allegedly has repeatedly tortured supporters of Muhammad Dahlan, a Fatah rival of PA President Mahmoud Abbas. Reports by HRW and other groups with voluminous narratives of Palestinian being tortured are usually focused on allegations against Israel, with criticism of Palestinian treatment of their own relegated to a few pages tucked into large reports on the entire world. Also, whereas allegations of Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) officials using torture on Palestinians usually revolve around charges that the Palestinians are directly involved in terrorism and are a ticking bomb, many of those described as being tortured in this report merely made a negative post on Facebook or were accused of lowgrade crimes like theft. The report confronted the PA and Hamas with equal criticism, making no distinction between the PA, which is widely accepted globally as more progressive and non-violent toward Israel, and Hamas, which is shunned by many in the West as supporting terrorism and seeking to overthrow Fatah in the West Bank. In another twist, HRW used “Palestine’s” ratification of human rights treaties against the PA and Hamas, calling the alleged torture violations of their obligations, and asking the International Criminal Court (ICC) to probe the two regimes’ torture as war crimes. A quarter century after the Oslo Accords granted Palestinians limited self-rule over these areas, and more than a decade after Hamas seized control over the Gaza Strip, HRW’s report detailed more than two dozen cases of people allegedly detained “for no clear reason beyond writing a critical article or Facebook post, or belonging to the wrong... political movement.” “Twenty five years after Oslo, Palestinian authorities have gained only limited power in the West Bank and Gaza – but yet, where they have autonomy, they have developed parallel police states,” said Tom Porteous, deputy program director at Human Rights Watch . “Calls by Palestinian officials to safeguard Palestinian rights ring hollow as they crush dissent.” “The fact that Israel systematically violates Palestinians’ most basic rights is no reason to remain silent in the face of the systematic repression of dissent and the torture Palestinian security forces are perpetrating,” added Shawan Jabarin, executive director of the Palestinian human rights organization al-Haq and a member of the Human Rights Watch Middle East and North Africa Advisory Committee. HRW interviewed 147 witnesses, including former detainees and those close to them, and reviewed photographic evidence, medical reports and court documents. Regarding the need for ICC involvement, HRW said that as far as it could determine, “few security officers have been prosecuted and none have been convicted for wrongful arrest or torture.” In another unusual move, HRW called on the EU, the US, Turkey, Qatar, Iran and other governments that financially support the PA or Hamas to “suspend aid to the specific units... implicated in widespread arbitrary arrests and torture” until the torture ends and those responsible are held accountable. HRW said that even as funding has been slashed in 2018 for health and education services for Palestinians, the PA “continued to set aside funding for security forces, including allocating $60 million in International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement non-lethal assistance to PA security forces” in 2018 and $35 million in 2019. Also, HRW called on Facebook and other social media giants to refuse to cooperate with Palestinian interrogators where it was likely that they were abusing the rights of the users. The report implied that sometimes social media giants cooperate with the interrogators and that, in addition, security forces routinely coerced detainees into providing access to their cellphones and social media accounts. The PA has also used a new Electronics Law to block 29 news websites viewed as sympathetic to Hamas or competitors of Abbas. It met with the PA Intelligence Services in Ramallah, but “was unable to accept an offer from Hamas authorities to meet in Gaza because Israel refused to grant permits” for the visit. Both authorities deny that abuses were systematic, while admitting that “isolated cases” may occur, said the report. Hamas authorities even said in a letter to HRW “that it considered itself committed to uphold all international treaties ratified by the State of Palestine,” while at the same time admitting to arresting persons for essentially being politically disruptive. However, HRW said that its evidence contradicted these claims. The NGO said that while the authorities regularly receive citizen complaints and have systems to investigate them, only a small number have resulted in findings of wrongdoing, according to data provided by the agencies. Even fewer led to an administrative sanction or referral for criminal prosecution, it said. The report said that Palestinian authorities often rely on overly broad laws that criminalize insulting “higher authorities,” creating “sectarian strife” or “harming the revolutionary unity” to detain dissidents for days or weeks, releasing them without referring them to trial while leaving the charges outstanding. PA security forces also held 221 Palestinians for various periods between January 2017 and August 2018 in administrative detention without charge or trial under a regional governor’s order, Human Rights Watch said. The report did not discuss what judicial limits there were on the administrative detention. Israel is also highly criticized globally for using the practice, but has some judicial oversight and limits. A number of former PA detainees interviewed by HRW had also been detained by Israel. The report asserted that Israel coordinates with PA forces on security issues, implying that the detainees were passed from prison to prison. In Gaza, Hamas sometimes conditions release on the detainee signing a commitment to halt criticism or protests, said the report. On September 27, the Independent Commission for Human Rights reported that Hamas arrested more than 50 people affiliated with Fatah and that PA forces in the West Bank detained more than 60 people affiliated with Hamas in the span of just a few days. According to HRW, Palestinian interrogators often beat and forced detainees into painful stress positions for prolonged periods, including using cables or ropes to hoist up their arms behind their backs. Police often used similar tactics to obtain confessions by people detained on mere drug or other criminal charges. The report does note rare cases where PA courts acquitted tortured Palestinians of the charges against them, but does not provide context to indicate whether this showed that judicial authorities can act independently of the PA. Either due to lack of access or due to Hamas’ lack of cooperation, the report is more vague regarding the details or integrity of the group’s justice system, though it clearly criticizes it as insufficient. In April, the Jerusalem District Court issued a partial judgment of NIS 13 million against the PA relating to its torture of around 52 Palestinians between the late 1990s to the early 2000s.

Boko Haram ‘Macheted’ Men ‘into Pieces’ in Attack Displacing 1,300 People

Edwin Mora 22 Oct 2018

Boko Haram jihadis reportedly cut men “into pieces” with machetes and set houses ablaze in weekend attacks that displaced an estimated 1,300 people in Nigeria’s Borno state, the terrorist group’s birthplace and stronghold. On the same day of the assault, Saturday, the Nigerian military announced that it had “reintegrated” at least 254 Boko Haram jihadis who surrendered and repented, the state-run News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported. Saturday’s heinous attacks came days after Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari repeated his assertion on Thursday that his administration will soon defeat Boko Haram. “We are confronting them, and by the grace of God we will destroy them,” he declared. Since taking office in 2015, the Buhari administration has on several occasions claimed victory over the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL)-linked Boko Haram only to have the terrorist group carry out deadly attacks soon after the allegation. Thursday’s claim was no exception. By Saturday, Boko Haram jihadis had invaded the village of Kuwa-Yangewa in Borno. Rachel Hassan, identified as an eyewitness, told the state-run News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) “that when the insurgents attacked the community, they asked women to go while the men were macheted,” the Sahara Reporters outlet revealed. “I hired somebody, a displaced person residing at the Bakassi Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), to work on my farm. The insurgents came and gathered us in one place. They asked women to go and macheted the males,” she said. She reportedly indicated that “some of the corpses were cut to pieces” and that she reported the case to local police. While the Nigerian army claims Boko Haram only killed two people during the attack, sources told Sahara Reporters the jihadis executed at least ten people. Malam Ahmadu Salisu, a relative of one of the victims, and Nigerian Brig. Gen. Abdulamalik Biu confirmed that the jihadis “butchered” some of the victims. “Some people went to the farms and Boko Haram insurgents attacked them. They butchered an elderly man and a youth,” the top Nigerian general declared. “So far, we recovered four corpses from the farms, while eight others are missing or abducted by the insurgents,” Salisu added. In separate attacks on Saturday in Borno state, Boko Haram terrorists, who reportedly rode into the area on gun trucks and motorcycles, also set some houses after carting away food items from shops and killed one person. Goni Umar, an eyewitness, reportedly revealed, “One person was killed by a stray bullet while trying to escape. On our way to Maiduguri, we saw troops and police heading to the villages.” Gen. Biu, confirmed the attack to NAN, noting that “troops have been deployed since 8:45 pm and they are still combing the area in order to apprehend the culprits.” Citing Nigeria’s National Emergency Management Agency, the Punch newspaper reported that the attacks in Borno state on Saturday displaced “1,300 persons.” The agency revealed that the terrorists targeted three communities in Borno — Dala Malari, Fuguri, and Femani.

People are pooping plastic and pollution might be to blame, pilot study suggests

USA Today NetworkAshley May, USA TODAY Published 8:03 a.m. ET Oct. 23, 2018 | Updated 3:02 p.m. ET Oct. 23, 2018

Small plastic pieces known as microplastics were found in stool samples of every participant in a small pilot study presented this week at a prestigious global gastroenterology conference. Researchers from the Environment Agency Austria and the Medical University of Vienna followed eight healthy volunteers from different parts of the world (Finland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, United Kingdom and Austria). The participants kept a diary of the food and drink they consumed for a week. Then, researchers tested their stool for 10 different types of plastics. Nine different types of plastics were found in the samples, according to the study. An average of 20 microplastic particles measuring between 50 and 500 micrometers were found per 10 grams of stool. Philipp Schwabl, lead researcher, said this is the first study of its kind and he's now seeking funding for further research. "Personally, I did not expect that each sample would be tested positive," Schwabl said. He's unsure of exactly how the plastics got into the bodies of his participants, but did say most participants drank liquids from plastic bottles and also ate seafood, who could be bringing microplastics from ocean pollution up the food chain. No vegetarians or vegans were involved in the study. The study was largely limited by its small sample size, and Schwabl said additional studies must be conducted to better understand how diet and lifestyle can contribute to microplastic ingestion. Schwabl is presenting the research at the 26th annual United European Gastroenterology conference in Vienna, Austria. Several unrelated studies have suggested microplastics could be finding their way inside human guts. “Recent studies have found plastics in seafood, wildlife, tap water, and now in salt. It’s clear that there is no escape from this plastics crisis, especially as it continues to leak into our waterways and oceans,” said Mikyoung Kim, campaigner at Greenpeace East Asia in a statement, following a study published earlier this month revealing 90 percent of the sea salt sold globally contain microplastics. Another study published earlier this year examining 259 water bottles from brands sold across nine countries found that 93 percent were contaminated with microplastics. Even some tap water has tested positive for tiny plastic particles. More: Mosquitoes are eating plastic. Why that's a big problem. More: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch

Pipe bombs are sent to the Clintons, Obamas and CNN by serial attacker targeting liberals while two NEW suspicious packages are sent to Maxine Waters and Debbie Wasserman Schultz - days after a similar device was found at George Soros' home

Secret Service said Wednesday they intercepted two packages en route to Obama's Washington home and Hillary Clinton's New York residence

Another suspicious package was also discovered Wednesday at the Time Warner Center in New York where CNN's newsroom is located

Authorities have described the devices as 'pipe bombs' that were rudimentary but functional

Investigators believe the devices are all similar to a small pipe bomb found at billionaire George Soros' home in New York on Monday

Other intercepted devices have also been reported that targeted Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, California congresswoman Maxine Waters and former Attorney General Eric Holder

The packages that were intercepted all had Schultz's office listed as a return address

Earlier, a law enforcement source said they believed there had also been a package intercepted for the White House but Secret Service later denied it

The White House issued a statement regarding the devices condemning the 'violent attacks'

By Emily Crane For Dailymail.com Published: 09:31 EDT, 24 October 2018 | Updated: 15:09 EDT, 24 October 2018

Pipe bombs targeting prominent Democrats and President Trump's biggest foes have been discovered across the U.S. with law enforcement suspecting a serial bomber is behind the rash of homemade explosives sent in the mail. Secret Service agents revealed on Wednesday they had intercepted two explosives en route to former President Obama's Washington D.C. home and Hillary and Bill Clinton's property in Chappaqua, New York. A short time later, a police bomb squad was sent to CNN's offices in New York City and the newsroom was evacuated because of a pipe bomb found in an envelope addressed to former CIA director John Brennan. Investigations are also underway following reports of intercepted mailed devices targeting former Attorney General Eric Holder, Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and California congresswoman Maxine Waters. The three devices targeting Obama, the Clintons and CNN were similar to the small pipe bomb found at liberal billionaire donor George Soros' New York home on Monday and appear to have been sent by the same person, NYPD's chief of counterterrorism said. All of those targeted are among Trump's biggest political enemies and have been subjected to his ire on Twitter. The White House swiftly condemned the attacks as 'despicable', while officials described the events as a coordinated 'effort to terrorize' just days before polarizing US elections. The packages sent to the Clintons and Obama were discovered during routine mail screenings and were intercepted prior to being delivered to Clinton and Obama. Bill Clinton was at the family's home at the time the package was intercepted, while Hillary was attending campaign events for Democrats in Florida. CNN evacuated its New York bureau Wednesday after the pipe bomb together with an envelope containing white powder was found in the mail room of the Time Warner Center where their bureau is located. It had been delivered by a messenger. The packaging was addressed care of CNN to former CIA director John Brennan, who doesn't work for the network but is an MSNBC contributor. An evacuation alarm went off as CNN anchors were live on air reporting on the packages sent to Obama and Clinton. The bomb was constructed with a metal pipe, wires and black tape, according to police. The device found at CNN was removed by the NYPD bomb squad and taken away for investigation. Police in Florida said they were also investigating reports of a suspicious package at Democratic Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz's office. The packages that were intercepted all had Schultz's office listed as a return address - an ironic reference to the former chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee. The package that showed up at her office had actually been sent to former Attorney General Eric Holder but was mailed to the wrong address, so was returned to her instead, CNN sources say. A suspicious package addressed to Democratic California congresswoman Maxine Waters was intercepted by Capitol Police on Wednesday afternoon. Earlier, a law enforcement source told Reuters and CNN that they believed a pipe bomb had also been sent to the White House but was intercepted at an off-site facility in D.C. The Secret Service later denied this, saying there was no suspicious package addressed to the White House. 'This clearly is an act of terror attempting to undermine our free press and leaders of this country through acts of violence,' New York Mayor Bill de Blasio told a news conference. The White House issued a statement regarding the devices, condemning the 'violent attacks'. 'We condemn the attempted violent attacks recently made against President Obama, President Clinton, Secretary Clinton, and other public figures,' a statement from press secretary Sarah Sanders said. 'These terrorizing acts are despicable, and anyone responsible will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. The United States Secret Service and other law enforcement agencies are investigating and will take all appropriate actions to protect anyone threatened by these cowards.' Vice President Mike Pence and Ivanka Trump also issued statements condemning the attacks on Obama, the Clintons and CNN. 'These cowardly actions are despicable and have no place in this country. Grateful for swift response of @SecretService, @FBI & local law enforcement. Those responsible will be brought to justice,' Pence tweeted. Ivanka tweeted: 'I strongly condemn the attempted acts of violence against President Obama, the Clinton family, @CNN and others. There is no excuse - America is better than this. Gratitude to the @SecretService and law enforcement for all they do to keep this nation safe.' President Trump initially just retweeted Pence's tweet, saying: 'I agree wholeheartedly!' but expanded during a White House press conference later on Wednesday. 'I just want to tell you that in these times we have to unify, we have to come together and send one very clear, strong, unmistakable message that acts or threats of political violence of any kind have no place in the United States of America,' Trump said. 'The safety of the American people is my highest and absolute priority.' His wife Melania also spoke, saying: 'We cannot tolerate those cowardly attacks and I strongly condemn all who choose violence. 'I'm grateful to the secret service as well as the federal and local law enforcement for all they do on a daily basis to keep us safe and encourage people across the country to choose kindness over hatred.' Hillary Clinton said at a Florida fundraiser on Wednesday that 'we are fine' as she thanked the Secret Service for intercepting the device 'long before it made its way to our home'. Clinton was speaking at a Coral Gables fundraiser for Democratic congressional candidate Donna Shalala, a former health and human services secretary. The former secretary of state said her family was grateful for the Secret Service's 'service and commitment and obviously never more than today'. November 6 political contests that will decide whether Democrats can challenge the majorities now held by Trump's Republicans in Congress. All of the targets are frequently disparaged by right-wing critics and Trump. CNN is a frequent target of Trump, who routinely calls the news media the 'enemy of the people' and belittles critical coverage as 'fake news.' Officials said the package received by CNN was addressed to former CIA director John Brennan. Brennan has been an outspoken critic of Trump, calling the president's performance during a July joint news conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki 'nothing short of treasonous'. Alexander Soros, the son of George Soros, said in an opinion piece published by The New York Times that his father had long faced verbal criticism and threats over his involvement in politics, 'but something changed in 2016' when Trump was elected. 'Before that, the vitriol he faced was largely confined to the extremist fringes, among white supremacists and nationalists who sought to undermine the very foundations of democracy. But with Donald Trump's presidential campaign, things got worse,' Alexander Soros wrote. He placed direct responsibility with those who sent the devices, but added: 'I cannot see it divorced from the new normal of political demonization that plagues us today.' At a press conference on Wednesday, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio condemned the 'effort to terrorize' as he and fellow Democrat Andrew Cuomo appealed to all elected officials, including a veiled reference to Trump, to tone down rhetoric. 'Don't encourage violence, don't encourage hatred, don't encourage attacks on media,' de Blasio said. 'Unfortunately this atmosphere of hatred is contributing to the choices people are making. 'The way to stop that is turn back the other way, to bring down the temperature, to end any messages of violence against people we disagree with and this has to start at the top.' THE INNOCENT-LOOKING MANILA ENVELOPES PACKED WITH DEADLY PIPE BOMBS A 6-inch pipe bomb wrapped in black electrical wire and hidden in a simple envelope - this is the 'rudimentary but functional' design believed to be behind at least four explosive devices that have been sent out to America's liberal elite in the last three days. The devices sent to George Soros, The Clintons, The Obamas and CNN, with investigations also underway at the offices of Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Maxine Waters, have all been described as pipe bombs and are believed to be the handiwork of the same serial bomber based on their design, according to law enforcement officials speaking to multiple outlets. The pipe bomb found inside the mailbox of George Soros' Westchester mansion on Monday afternoon was a six-inches-long piece of pipe packed with explosive powder hidden in an 8-by-10 inch envelope. Unlike the bombs sent to Obama and the Clintons it was hand-delivered but designed to look like it had come through the mail. Images of the CNN pipe bomb, showed the explosive device wrapped in black electrical wire and linked up to digital clock counter The bombs addressed to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were sent through the mail and intercepted before they received their intended targets. CNN reported that the bomb sent to their New York headquarters at the Time Warner Center was also constructed with a pipe and wires. It came in a manilla envelope with 6 Stars and Stripes stamps and was addressed to CNN contributor, former CIA Director John Brennan. The return address was the Florida office of former DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz It was intercepted in the media giant's mail-room and reportedly delivered by a messenger Images showed the small makeshift device wrapped in black duct tape and in a NYPD press conference they reported it was stuffed with gunpowder Pipe bombs are common improvised explosive devices. The pipe is sealed at both ends and packed with gunpowder. The tightly-packed design means even low grade explosives can have potentially devastating consequences and the pipe itself turns into shrapnel. Often such devices are coated with metal projectiles like nuts and bolts creating an even more vicious impact on explosion. According to CNN, one of the four sent out this week was packed with shards of glass They are linked up to a fuse and most often, a timer and battery for detonation. It is unclear how the devices in this case were intended to be detonated and what the role of the digital clock taped on the side of the pipe bomb was intended to serve

Trump flaunts payback in Montana as he blasts Senator Jon Tester's 'vicious' attacks on White House Dr. Ronny Jackson that helped sink the Veterans' nominee and calls him 'worse than the Democrat Mob'

In April, Tester opposed Trump's pick to head the Department of Veterans Affairs

Ronny Jackson, the White House doctor, was accused of drunken behavior and overprescribing medication

Tester is locked in a close race with his Republican opponent, Matt Rosendale

President is expected to travel Thursday to a rally in Montana with Rosendale

By Geoff Earle, Deputy U.s. Political Editor For Dailymail.com In Missoula, Montana and Ariel Zilber For Dailymail.com and Associated Press Published: 11:40 EDT, 17 October 2018 | Updated: 01:17 EDT, 18 October 2018

President Donald Trump made plain that his third campaign trip to Montana Thursday is driven by a desire to hit back at Democratic Sen. Jon Tester for helping torpedo the nomination of White House physician Ronny Jackson to run the VA. Trump brought up Tester's role in the fiasco of Jackson's nomination to run the Department of Veterans' Affairs in a tweet Wednesday evening – blasting Tester for 'vicious' statements about Admiral Jackson. Tester, who is in a toss-up race that will help determine control of the Senate and leads narrowly in polls, revealed information that came to the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, where he is the top Democrat, which helped lead the nomination to blow up. 'Ever since his vicious and totally false statements about Admiral Ron Jackson, the highly respected White House Doctor for Obama, Bush & me, Senator John Tester looks to be in big trouble in the Great State of Montana!' Trump wrote on the eve of his trip here. 'He behaved worse than the Democrat Mob did with Justice K!' Trump added, in reference to Justice Brett Kavanaugh, whose nomination was narrowly confirmed on a 50 to 48 vote. Tester voted against both Kavanaugh and Justice Neil Gorsuch, Trump's previous nominee. While vulnerable, Tester has led in three recent polls, and has a three point edge over his opponent in the latest RealClearPolitics average. Jackson was revealed after his nomination to be close to Trump, with regular contact with him in the East Wing. But he soon came under fire for his office's practice of liberally distributing prescription medications on presidential trips – evening earning the moniker 'Candy Man' during the Obama administration. 'That's not a nickname you want in a doctor. And if you consider the prescription drugs [problem] we have a problem within this country right now, it's not the example we need to have set,' Tester told CNN in April. 'We were told time and time again, the people above him, he treated like gold. The people below him, he belittled, screamed at them, really created a very toxic environment to the point where the people that worked around him felt like they had to walk on eggshells because of his lack of respect for their jobs,' he said, based on information that sources gave his committee Trump called out the Democrat for accusing former White House doctor Ronny Jackson of drunken behavior after he was nominated to head up the Department of Veterans Affairs. The president also suggested that Tester is in 'big trouble' in his race with Matt Rosendale in the build-up to the crucial midterms. Outside groups and individual donors have poured more than $45million into Montana's U.S. Senate race as Trump prepares a third trip to the Big Sky state in his crusade to unseat two-term Tester. The contest is on pace to be the most expensive in Montana history, and it's been driven by Trump's apparent personal interest in Tester's defeat and his efforts to ensure Republicans keep power in the Senate. Republican challenger and Trump loyalist Matt Rosendale is far behind in fundraising. But he's stayed competitive with $14million spent by deep-pocketed conservative groups on his behalf, largely on ads attacking Tester on guns, immigration and taxes, according to an Associated Press review of spending reports. Tester says it's a case of outside interests trying to influence Montana politics. But he also has out-of-state backers: Political committees representing conservation groups, hospitals and banks. Trump targeted Tester for defeat after the Democrat made allegations public that derailed the president's Veteran Affairs nominee, Jackson, in April. The allegations against the White House doctor included drunken behavior, overprescribing prescription drugs and fostering a hostile work environment. Jackson has denied the accusations. Trump is expected to again go on the attack against Tester during a Thursday campaign rally for Rosendale at the Missoula airport. It's the latest in a parade of White House visits to Montana that have included Vice President Mike Pence and the president's son, Donald Trump, Jr. Montana voters backed Trump by 20 percentage points in 2016. Rosendale, currently serving as state auditor and insurance commissioner, has staked his campaign on a bet that those voters will come out for him in November. Like Trump, Rosendale has sought to capitalize on anger over the Supreme Court confirmation process for Brett Kavanaugh - by attempting to draw parallels with Tester's actions involving Ronny Jackson. 'The people across the state have witnessed the tactics of Washington Democrats - which Jon Tester has clearly become a part of - simply trying to smear people and distort facts and maintain power,' Rosendale said in an interview. Tester voted against confirming Kavanaugh, citing his stance on campaign finances and personal privacy, and the sexual assault allegations against the judge by Christine Blasey Ford. The Democrat rejected the argument that he's changed since he took office and said Republicans employed similar strategies during the campaigns that he won in 2006 and 2012. 'In order to beat me you've got to make me into something I'm not. And that's what they've done their level best to do,' Tester said. 'Look, Montanans know who I am, they know I'm a lifetime Montanan, they know I understand rural America, they know I understand public lands and not privatizing them.' The race could soon surpass the state's previous most costly election, when $47million was spent leading to Tester's narrow win over former U.S. Rep. Denny Rehberg in 2012. Outside spending in this cycle already exceeds $25million, according to the AP's review. That figure includes more than $1million spent by groups that favored Rosendale and attacked his GOP opponents in the June primary. Among those backing Rosendale and opposing Tester are two political committees, Restoration PAC and Club for Growth, that are funded by Illinois billionaire Richard Uihlein and another committee, the Senate Reform Fund, that's primarily funded by Texas oil executive Tim Dunn. Tester meanwhile has benefited from than $11million in outside spending promoting his candidacy and attacking Rosendale. That includes spending by the political arms of the League of Conservation Voters, the American Hospital Association and the American Bankers Association, which endorsed Tester following his leading role in the effort to change the Dodd-Frank financial law. Between the candidates themselves, Tester holds a commanding advantage in fundraising, with $17million in contributions so far this election cycle and $1.8million in the bank as of Sept. 30, according to campaign filings submitted this week to the Federal Election Commission. Rosendale brought in about $3.7million in contributions and had $622,000 in cash Sept. 30, the filings show. At some point, said Jeremy Johnson, a political analyst at Carroll College in Helena, the money imbalance can get lost in the wash, amid the flood of advertisements now saturating voters' mailboxes and television screens and the websites they visit. Montana State University analyst David Parker said Tester's cash lead is significant, because candidates typically get better rates when buying advertisements than outside groups. 'Tester, as a result, can have more penetration and control his own message,' Parker said. 'The outside groups - the money goes less far - and is overwhelmingly negative. 'You have to tell your own story in the way you want to tell it. Tester can, Rosendale can't.'

Judicial Watch Sues State Department for Hillary Clinton Testimony Requests under-oath statements from HRC and State Department officials 

By: Jay Greenberg |@NeonNettle on 17th October 2018 @ 3.00pm

Political Watchdog Judicial Watch is in federal court this week for a lawsuit requesting the under-oath testimony Hillary Clinton and several other State Department officials regarding her email searches. According to JW President Tom Fitton, the statement of Clinton's former chief of staff Cheryl Mills has also been requested. The searches have been requested in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit regarding the Benghazi terrorist attack which happened under Hillary's watch as then-Secretary of State. U.S. District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth set the hearing. While setting the hearing during his October 4, 2018 order, U.S. District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth said: "Two and a half years ago, the Court granted plaintiff’s request for limited discovery, mindful of parallel proceeding before Judge Sullivan and the ongoing inquiries by the State Department’s Inspector General, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the House Select Committee on Benghazi. According to Mr. Fitton, the development comes in Judicial Watch’s July 2014 FOIA lawsuit filed after the U.S. Department of State failed to respond to a May 13, 2014 FOIA request (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:14-cv-01242)). We seek: Copies of any updates and/or talking points given to Ambassador Rice by the White House or any federal agency concerning, regarding, or related to the September 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Any and all records or communications concerning, regarding, or relating to talking points or updates on the Benghazi attack given to Ambassador Rice by the White House or any federal agency. This is the lawsuit that forced the Clinton email system issue into the public eye in early 2015. TRENDING: Elizabeth Warren Ex Husband Founded Company Behind Her DNA Test In 2014, a related Judicial Watch case brought to light the fact that the “Internet video” talking points regarding the Benghazi attack were orchestrated in the Obama White House. In March 2016, U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth granted us “limited discovery,” ruling that “where there is evidence of government wrong-doing and bad faith, as here, limited discovery is appropriate, even though it is exceedingly rare in FOIA cases.” In May 2016, Judicial Watch filed an initial Proposed Order for Discovery seeking additional information. The State Department opposed Judicial Watch’s proposal, and in December 2016 Judge Lamberth requested both parties file new proposed orders in light of information discovered in various venues since the previous May. In Judicial Watch’s filing, they informed the court that, despite repeated conferences with the State Department, we had been “unable to reach agreement on a discovery proposal” and that “[the State Department] is unwilling to agree to any discovery at all in this action.” Their discovery proposal focuses on two main areas: Evidence of wrongdoing or bad faith with respect to State Department’s response to Plaintiff’s FOIA request for records related to the talking points provided to U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice following the September 11, 2012 Benghazi attack; and Potential remedies that may ensure a sufficient search for responsive records is undertaken. Judicial Watch seeks both documents and depositions. The documents requested include: All documents that concern or relate to the processing of any and all searches of the Office of the Secretary for emails relating to the September 11, 2012 Benghazi attack and its aftermath … All communications that concern or relate to the processing of all searches referenced in Document Request No. 1 above, including directions or guidance about how and where to conduct the searches … All records that concern or relate to the State Department’s policies, practices, procedures and/or actions (or lack thereof) to secure, inventory, and/or account for all records… Plaintiff requests copies of the attached records [previously obtained by Judicial Watch] with the Exemption 5 redactions removed … In addition to documents, Judicial Watch seeks depositions, including a deposition of Hillary Clinton that would include Mrs. Clinton’s testimony on: [the] identification of individuals (whether State Department officials, other government officials, or third-parties, including but not limited to Sidney Blumenthal) with whom Secretary Clinton may have communicated by email. It is frankly unbelievable that the State Department is still protecting Hillary Clinton and her aides from being asked basic questions about her illicit email system. The courts were misled and obstructed by Hillary Clinton’s email scheme and we hope to get some more answers about this scandal. At the hearing this morning, Judge Lamberth excoriated the Justice Department and FBI for false statements about the Clinton email issue. He also said he was “dumbfounded” by the Justice Department for granting immunity to Cheryl Mills, a top Clinton aide. Judge Lamberth noted he had found Mills to have committed perjury in another Judicial Watch lawsuit. In an April 28, 2008 ruling relating to Ms. Mills conduct as a White House official in responding to concerns about lost White House email records, Judge Lamberth called Cheryl Mills’ participation in the matter “loathsome.” He further stated Mills was responsible for “the most critical error made in this entire fiasco… Mills’ actions were totally inadequate to address the problem.” Judge Lamberth made no ruling today but one is expected soon.

Japan plans to flush Fukushima water 'containing radioactive material above permitted levels' into the ocean

By Julian Ryall, in Tokyo 16 October 2018 • 8:18pm

Water that the Japanese government is planning to release into the Pacific Ocean from the crippled Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear plant contains radioactive material well above legally permitted levels, according to the plant’s operator and documents seen by The Telegraph. The government is running out of space to store contaminated water that has come into contact with fuel that escaped from three nuclear reactors after the plant was destroyed in the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami that struck north-east Japan. Its plan to release the approximately 1.09 million tons of water currently stored in 900 tanks into the Pacific has triggered a fierce backlash from local residents and environmental organisations, as well as groups in South Korea and Taiwan fearful that radioactivity from the second-worst nuclear disaster in history might wash up on their shores. Tokyo Electric Power Co., (Tepco) which runs the plant, has until recently claimed that the only significant contaminant in the water is safe levels of tritium, which can be found in small amounts in drinking water, but is dangerous in large amounts. The government has promised that all other radioactive material is being reduced to “non-detect” levels by the sophisticated Advanced Liquid Processing System (ALPS) operated by the nuclear arm of Hitachi Ltd. Documents provided to The Telegraph by a source in the Japanese government suggest, however, that the ALPS has consistently failed to eliminate a cocktail of other radioactive elements, including iodine, ruthenium, rhodium, antimony, tellurium, cobalt and strontium. Hitachi declined to comment on the reports on the performance of its equipment. The Japanese government did not reply to multiple requests for comment. A restricted document also passed to The Telegraph from the Japanese government arm responsible for responding to the Fukushima collapse indicates that the authorities were aware that the ALPS facility was not eliminating radionuclides to “non-detect” levels. That adds to reports of a study by the regional Kahoko Shinpo newspaper which it said confirmed that levels of iodine 129 and ruthenium 106 exceeded acceptable levels in 45 samples out of 84 in 2017. Iodine 129 has a half-life of 15.7 million years and can cause cancer of the thyroid; ruthenium 106 is produced by nuclear fission and high doses can be toxic and carcinogenic when ingested. In late September, Tepco was forced to admit that around 80 per cent of the water stored at the Fukushima site still contains radioactive substances above legal levels after the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry held public hearings in Tokyo and Fukushima at which local residents and fishermen protested against the plans. Tepco has now admitted that levels of strontium 90, for example, are more than 100 times above legally permitted levels in 65,000 tons of water that has been through the ALPS cleansing system and are 20,000 times above levels set by the government in several storage tanks at the site. Dr Ken Buesseler, a marine chemistry scientist with the US Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, said it was vital to confirm precisely what radionuclides are present in each of the tanks and their amounts. "Until we know what is in each tank for the different radionuclides, it is hard to evaluate any plan for the release of the water and expected impacts on the ocean", he told The Telegraph. Experts agree that the danger posed by any release depends on the concentrations of radionuclides and the subsequent contamination of fisheries products. The presence of strontium in the bones of small fish that might be consumed by humans could be a cause of major concern. If ingested by humans, strontium 90 builds up in teeth and bones and can cause bone cancer or leukaemia. Shaun Burnie, a nuclear specialist with Greenpeace, also disputes Tepco’s claims that tritium is effectively harmless. “Its beta particles inside the human body are more harmful than most X-rays and gamma rays”, he said, adding that there “are major uncertainties over the long-term effects posed by radioactive tritium that is absorbed by marine life and, through the food chain, humans. “The planned release of billions of becquerels by Tepco cannot be considered an action without risk to the marine environment and human health”. The Japanese authorities have been caught off-guard by the strength of local opposition to the plan to release the contaminated water into the ocean, but have so far not dropped their plans.

Message To Hollywood Bimbos: You Do Not Speak For, Nor Represent, All Women In America - NewsFlash: We Do Not Care What You Think

By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine October 17, 2018

Why is it that Hollywood celebrities think they can preach to Americans, tell them what to do, who to vote for, what to think? Even more annoying is seeing the women in Hollywood, I call them the "Hollywood Bimbos" making sweeping statements about how "women feel," without a clue as to how anyone outside their liberal, Hollywood bubbles actually thinks or feels. Case in point: Alyssa Milano, attention whore supreme, is one of the Hollywood bimbos spending "unprecedented" time attempting to influence the midterm election results, claiming "This is all personal now. And when we are seeing our rights stripped away, we’re scared. Women are scared." No, "we" are not scared. Milano may spend her nights shaking in her boots over the probability that Republicans will retain control of the Senate, but those of us not in her bubble, and I am speaking for myself, and others that think like me, would be more worried giving control of the Senate to likes of Democrat Diane Feinstein. During the Kavanaugh hearings, it was Feinstein who was in possession of the Christine Blasey Ford letter accusing Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault over 35 years ago, when they were teenagers. It was Feinstein that recommended the attorneys that Ford hired. Three groups had knowledge of and possession of that letter. Feinsten, Ford, and Ford's attorneys..... and one of those Democrats leaked it to the press, which exposed Ford's identity to the media and the public. The GOP didn't do that. Lets look at a more recent example of why claims that women are, or assertions by Hollywood bimbos like Milano and Amy Schumer, that women should be scared of Republicans more than they should be concerned over Democrats in power, are complete BS. The recent egregious blunder on the part of Democrat Senator Heidi Heitkamp, who ran an ad presented as an open letter from sexual assault survivors to her Republican challenger Representative Kevin Cramer. The blunder came when she revealed the names of the women without their permission. Even worse, at least one of the women named claims that not only she didn't give Heitkamp permission to use her name, she doesn't support Heitkamp and she isn't even a domestic abuse survivor. She then went on to ask "Should this even be legal? Using people's names as part of your campaign?" KMPOSTHeitkamp.jpg Granted Heitkamp acknowledged the blunder, accepted responsibility and gave a long and apparently heartfelt apology, stating it was her campaign, she owns it, but the point here is Republicans didn't do that, Democrats did. In fact Democrats and Hollywood celebrities, both male and female, seem to have no problem using and abusing women for political gain. Democrats use them then throw them under the bus after they have either accomplished their goals, or tosses them aside if they didn't help the way Democrats intended. Hollywood for their part, seems to thrive on acting like all women are victims, while claiming they are being empowered. How can one be both? There is nothing "empowering" about acting like everything the GOP does makes them a victim somehow. That is weak, pathetic....not strong. MESSAGE TO HOLLYWOOD - MOST AMERICANS DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU THINK During the 2016 presidential campaign, Hollywood celebrities came out en masse to campaign for Hillary Clinton and against Donald Trump. They created embarrassing videos telling people how "important" it was to get out and vote, and more importantly who they should not vote for. They narcissistically repeated the same theme about how important it was to get "famous people, a lot of famous people, a ton of famous people......etc" to get together to tell Americans what to do. Yes, they really did that. That worked out well for them, didn't it? Not! One would think after all their antics, their massive donations to the Clinton campaign and Democrats, failed so spectacularly to give them their preferred result, they would have at least gotten a clue as to how irrelevant their political opinion is. Just because they became "famous" for their acting or musical abilities, does not make their opinion any more enlightened than anyone elses. Yet, here they are again attempting to speak for "us" all, shoving their political opinions down our throats, despite the fact that recent polling has determined that 75 percent of likely voters say celebrity endorsements and opinions do not affect the way they vote. If anything, and I am only speaking for myself, every time a "famous person" attempts to tell me what is best for me, what I "should" be doing," what I "should" believe, I tend to get annoyed and more enthused to support the person I think is the best choice. Call me ornery, but I dislike anyone insisting they know what is best for me. BOTTOM LINE While Hollywood celebrities are as entitled to their opinion as the rest of America is entitled to their own, they are not the voice of America, and no one has the right to speak for "all" of any demographic. Alyssa Milano may want to curl up in her bed, scared of her own shadow because of an election, but women like me, would rather look at the issues, look at the politician in question, and decide for ourselves who we believe would do better for us. Excellent commentary from Candace Owens below in a short PragerU video about this issue.

Sky turns purple over Florida and Ohio during Hurricane Michael

By Strange Sounds - Oct 17, 2018

Why did Hurricane Michael leave cities with an electric purple sky as it engulfed Florida? An Ohio motorist has filmed the night sky appearing to glow a magnificent electric purple over the city of Cleveland. The bizarre celestial light has left many struggling to explain the strange phenomenon. Captured by Youtube user Jbreez216 as he was driving around Cleveland, the footage depicts a strange hue above the city. Completely freaked out by what he is seeing, the eyewitness puts his camera out the window of his moving vehicle to prove it’s not a trick reflection on the windscreen. “Look at the sky, why is it purple like that?” the motorist says in the video. “That’s crazy. I thought it was my [window] tint for a second but… that’s out the window. That’s crazy.” Filmed on October 13, after Hurricane Michael struck the state, it’s almost certain the bizarre light was caused by the weather. However, a definitive reason has yet to be settled on by shocked viewers, and many theories are circulating online. Some claimed that the strange coloring was a result of peculiar happenings in space or even a portent of a biblical, end-of-days event. Lake City referred to in the below tweet is actually in Florida, which experienced a purple sky like Ohio did: However the actual scientific reason for the coloring is much more mundane. It has been put down to a thing called “scattering,” where often violet or blue light of the setting sun becomes the dominant light in the sky. Purple sky over Lake City, Florida during Hurricane Michael in October 2018. via Twitter “Molecules and small particles in the atmosphere change the direction of light rays, causing them to scatter,” a University of Wisconsin spokesperson told Cleveland 19 News. “Scattering affects the color of light coming from the sky, but the details (the colors) are determined by the wavelength of the light and the size of the particle.” What do you think it was? About a year ago, a mysterious light column appeared in a loud boom over Feliciano, Argentina… Also supposedly caused by a rare weather.

Russia’s spies red-faced after multiple plots uncovered

Moscow’s spooks left footprints everywhere, resulting in exposure not only by Western spy agencies, but by investigative websites and domestic media

By Giovanni Pigni October 17, 2018 1:16 PM (UTC+8)

More Johnny English than James Bond,” was how British Security Minister Ben Wallace branded the failed assassination of Russian double agent Sergei Skripal on British soil last March, for which UK authorities blame Russia’s military intelligence service the GRU, pronounced “Groo.” Given that even Russian media as partisan as Sputnik are now conceding that the two suspects fingered by London are, indeed, GRU officers, the Skripal saga is starting to make the feared spy agency look farcical. It is a major turnaround from the early days of the investigation. Then, British authorities pointed the finger, but failed to produce evidence. As a result, London’s version of events was roundly mocked by Russian ministers, spokespersons and media, which also produced a range of conspiracy theories. Most asserted that Russia was blameless, that it was Western powers attempting to blacken Russia’s reputation. Things look different now. Much more data has recently emerged that goes far beyond the Skripal case. It reveals malignant and, at times, sloppy GRU activities taking place around the globe – activities which would appear to extend well beyond the remit of a military intelligence organization. With incompetence by Moscow operatives being revealed not only by Western counter-intelligence, but even by investigative websites using open-source data, some of which has now been confirmed by Russia media, the derision voiced by Russian officials and pro-Kremlin media is ringing increasingly false. Agents’ IDs confirmed The clumsiness of the two wannabe Skripal assassins, first identified as Ruslan Boshirov and Aleksandr Petrov, appears remarkable. Skripal, their target, survived the poisoning. An innocent bystander died accidentally. And the alleged perpetrators were caught by police cameras. Russian authorities denied that the two suspects, whose images were released by the British government, were spies. “Of course, they are civilians,” announced no less a person than President Vladimir Putin – himself a former KGB officer – adding there was nothing “special or criminal” in their background. Shortly after, Boshirov and Petrov appeared in an interview with pro-Kremlin TV channel RT. There, they denied any involvement in the attack, defining themselves as simple tourists who had visited the English town of Salisbury simply to enjoy its cathedral’s architecture. However, their cover story was full of holes and their claims of innocence would soon be discredited. An investigation carried out by investigatory websites Bellingcat and The Insider named Boshirov and Petrov as, respectively, GRU Colonel Anatoly Chepiga and military doctor Aleksandr Mishkin. Bellingcat reporters found pictures of a man strongly resembling “tourist” Boshirov in the archives of a Russian Far East military school that specialized in “foreign language training and clandestine operations.” By cross-referencing passport data and using open sources databases, the reporters identified Boshirov as decorated GRU Colonel Anatoly Chepiga. Shortly after, the same investigative team uncovered the identity of Petrov, who reportedly is GRU military doctor Aleksandr Mishkin. A parallel investigation, conducted by The Daily Telegraph in London, reached the same conclusion. Looking for confirmation of these findings, Insider reporters traveled to Loyga, a remote village in the northern Arkhangelsk Region where Mishkin was born. There, they found people confirming that the person appearing in photos released by British police and participating in the RT interview under the name of Aleksandr Petrov was in fact “local boy” Aleksandr Mishkin. Russian spymasters must be kicking themselves, given the amount of data found by two open-source websites. And they must be kicking themselves twice, as related information was then confirmed by Russian media. More witnesses were tracked down by Kommersant reporters in Beresovka, Chepiga’s home village, where a local woman identified “Boshirov” as her former classmate. Similar reports were published by The Washington Post and the BBC Russian Service. According to Bellingcat sources, Mishkin and Chepiga played an active role in secret military operations in Chechnya, Crimea and Eastern Ukraine. Talking to Russian media Novaya Gazeta anonymously, Chepiga’s former comrades confirmed that the GRU colonel participated in operations leading to the annexation of Crimea in 2014, as well as in the special forces mission to rescue former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych the same year. According to data retrieved by Bellingcat, Aleksandr Mishkin crossed Russia’s Ukraine border several times, as well as entering the self-proclaimed Transnistrian Republic between 2010 and 2013. As a reward for their deeds, both agents were allegedly awarded the “Hero of Russia” medal – Russia’s highest honorary title – as well as large apartments in Moscow. What does the GRU do? Created by Lenin during the Russian Civil War, the GRU, or Main Intelligence Directorate, is one of three major Russian intelligence agencies, together with the successors of the old KGB: The FSB – the Federal Security Service – and the SVR – the Foreign Intelligence Service. Formally, the GRU was responsible for providing the Kremlin with vital military intelligence and guaranteeing Russia’s economic, political and military security. As part of the Russian military, the GRU answers to Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov and Minister of Defense Sergey Shoygu. The GRU’s role is essentially war fighting, hence it has played a prominent role in the “New Cold War” between Russia and the West: from coordinating a pro-Russia insurgency in Eastern Ukraine in 2014 to organizing an anti-NATO coup in Montenegro in 2016. Experts say the agency makes frequent use of “illegal spies” with no diplomatic protection, who are assigned to deniable tasks around the globe. GRU operatives also have a reputation for recklessness. According to Mark Galeotti, an expert on Russia’s security services, the GRU is characterized by “a relatively aggressive, military mindset, where accomplishing the mission is more important than avoiding risk.” The GRU’s ethos is exemplified in the assassination weapon used on Skripal for his treacherous collaboration with Western intelligence services: a weapons-grade nerve agent. The message is clear: No mercy for defectors. Putin has, himself, defined Skripal as “a traitor of the Motherland.” s have left a trail of evidence leading directly to Moscow.

The dailyReport Must-reads from across Asia - directly to your inbox It is a major turnaround from the early days of the investigation. etc. etc. etc.   According to political journalist Oleg Kashin, the GRU mission in Salisbury could have been orchestrated by “deep state” factions in the Russian government who are profiting from Russia’s worsening relations with the West. “International isolation and conflict with the rest of the world can be profitable from both political and economic points of view,” he suggested. The West fires back If worsening relations with the West is the goal, the GRU has been producing excellent results. On October 4, the Dutch Minister of Defense declared that four GRU spies had been caught attempting to hack the systems of the Hague-based Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. The OPCW had conducted analyses of the nerve agent used to poison Skripal, as well as the chemical attack carried out in the outskirts on Damascus on April 7, for which the international community blames Russia-backed Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad. Despite the GRU’s hardcore reputation, identifying the four spies was not, apparently, a difficult task for Dutch counter-intelligence. While the GRU is trained in cyber espionage, they left multiple footprints. The Russians carried several telephones that were activated next to the publicly known GRU headquarters in Moscow. One of them even had receipts from the taxi which took them from the GRU offices to Moscow airport. A confiscated laptop contained data related to various nefarious operations – only some of which would appear to fall within the GRU’s remit of military intelligence activities. Records were found indicating that the Russians were involved in a secret operation in Kuala Lumpur, where they attempted to steal information on the downing of Malaysian airline Boeing MH17. Their footprint was also found in Switzerland, where agents tried to hack the system of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), which oversees Olympic athletes. According to British and Dutch authorities, the four were part of a “clean up” operation aimed at fixing previous Russian mistakes. Britain’s ambassador to the Netherlands Peter Wilson said: “With its aggressive cyber campaigns, we see the GRU trying to clean up Russia’s own mess – be it the doping uncovered by WADA, or the nerve agent identified by the OPCW.” “This attempt to access the secure systems of an international organization working to rid the world of chemical weapons demonstrates the GRU’s disregard for the global values and rules that keep us all safe,” said the Dutch and British heads of state in a joint statement. Shortly thereafter, the US Justice Department joined the chorus of accusations with an indictment, identifying seven alleged GRU agents, who participated in 2016 election meddling as well as in various cyberattacks against WADA, USADA (the US Anti-Doping Association), FIFA and the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport. According to US authorities, the Russians intentionally aimed at “undermining the efforts of these organizations in guaranteeing fairness of the Olympics and other games.” The Russian Foreign Ministry’s combative spokesperson, Maria Zakharova, defined the latest allegations as “spy-mania” and accused Britain of turning GRU stories into “a hellish perfume mix” – referring to the perfume bottle allegedly containing the nerve agent used to poison Skripal. “The imagination of our British colleagues know no boundaries,” she snarled. And Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov denied that a “Hero of Russia” award was ever bestowed upon an individual named Anatoly Chepiga. Pro-Kremlin media also lashed out at the investigations. Politekspert and the Federal News Agency accused Bellingcat of publishing fake news. And Lev Korolkov, an SVR veteran, told Komsmolskaya Pravda that two “Heroes of Russia” would never risk getting their hands dirty on a poisoning mission. “It is absolute nonsense … the reputation of the country would be at risk,” he said. But despite official denials, the latest revelations about GRU activities dent the reputation of Russian spycraft – even more so, given that the GRU’s failed mission in the Netherlands led to the uncovering of more than 300 potential military agents, identified by The Insider and Bellingcat using publicly available car-registration databases. According to Bellingat, this could be “one of the largest mass breaches of personal data of an intelligence service in recent history.”

Last Clash of the Titans Part 8: The Mount of Assembly and the God of the Dead

October 18, 2018 by Derek Gilbert

The Bible is a chronicle of the long war by the fallen elohim, their demonic offspring, and human collaborators against the authority of our Creator. There is more information about this war in scripture than we’ve been taught. The concept of the mount of assembly was known to the pagan neighbors of the ancient Israelites. As far back as the time of Sumerian dominance in Mesopotamia, the third millennium B.C. (3000–2000 B.C.), it was believed the divine council led by the chief god, Enlil, met at his temple in the city of Nippur, the E-kur (House of the Mountain). Remember, Enlil himself was called “Great Mountain.” To the Canaanites in the time of the Judges, roughly 1300–1200 B.C., their creator-god El met with his “assembled congregation” (in Ugaritic, pḫr mʿd) on Mount Hermon in the “tents of El.” Although scholars would present this the other way around, the tents of El reflect the dwelling of Yahweh, the Tent of Meeting and the tabernacle, which housed the Ark of the Covenant for more than three hundred years before Solomon built the Temple on Mount Zion. You see, this whole war is about the mountain. The divine rebel’s goal is to establish his mount of assembly above that of Yahweh’s. That is still his greatest wish. (It may be the goal of many of these rebel gods, actually. The history of war between nations suggests that there may be as much competition between the fallen elohim as there is between the Fallen and Yahweh.) The prophets, psalmists, and apostles knew about this war for the mount. As you read the Bible with a careful eye, you’ll see references to other mountains that the Fallen hoped to establish as the har môʿēd. So, which mountain did Isaiah identify? According to scholar Edward Lipinski, El’s mount of assembly was probably Mount Hermon, [i] but that isn’t the one in view in Isaiah 14. The Hebrew phrase yarkete tsaphon, rendered “far reaches of the north,” is the key to identification. The phrase is used only three places in the Hebrew Bible, so looking at the other occurrences gives us important context. For example, in Psalm 48, the psalmist compares Zion to yarkete tsaphon:

Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised  in the city of our God! His holy mountain, beautiful in elevation, is the joy of all the earth, Mount Zion, in the far north [yarkete tsaphon], the city of the great King. (Psalm 48:1–2, ESV; emphasis added)

How do we know the psalmist’s intent? Well, first of all, Mount Zion isn’t in the “far north.” Everyone in David’s day knew there was plenty of real estate north of Zion, even inside Israel. Second, while Zion is beautiful, it’s a bit short on elevation. It’s not even the tallest peak in Jerusalem. At 2,428 feet, the Temple Mount is almost a hundred feet lower than the modern Mount Zion (the former Western Hill was thought to be more fitting for David’s palace, so it was renamed Zion in the first century), and almost three hundred feet below the highest spot on the Mount of Olives. In short, the psalmist was making a point about theology, not geography. The “far north” in Psalm 48:2 refers to another cosmic mountain, a mount of assembly (har môʿēd) that everyone in the ancient world knew was the home of the palace of the king of the Canaanite gods, Baal: A seat was prepared and he was seated at the right hand of Valiant Baal, until the gods had eaten and drunk. Then Valiant Baal said, “Depart, Kothar-and-Hasis! Hasten! Build a house indeed; hasten! Construct a palace! Hasten! Let them build a house; Hasten! Let them construct a palace, in the midst of the uttermost parts of Zaphon. A thousand square yards let the house take up, ten thousand acres the palace! ”[ii] (Emphasis added)

Baal sits like the base of a mountain

Hadad [proper name of the storm-god, Baal] settles as the ocean,

in the midst of his divine mountain Zaphon,

in the midst of the mountain of victory.

Seven lightning-flashes […],

eight bundles of thunder,

a tree-of-lightning in his right hand.[iii] (Emphasis added)

Highlight this, at least in your mind: The mount of assembly of the divine rebel in Eden is the holy mountain of the Canaanite storm-god Baal. In other words, the rebel from Eden evidently manifested to later humans as the storm-god—Baal to the Canaanites and Israelites, Zeus to the Greeks, Jupiter to the Romans, Teshub to the Hurrians, and Tarhunz to the Hittites (and maybe even Indra to the Indians, Thor to the Norsemen, and so on). This is not only a key historical detail, it’s important to understanding end-times prophecy. Why? Because we know exactly where this mountain is. Mount Zaphon is known today as Jebel al-Aqra, a 5,600-foot peak in Turkey on the border with Syria, near the mouth of the Orontes River on the Mediterranean Sea. The Amorite kingdom of Ugarit was based only twenty-five miles south of Zaphon. Besides being the home of Baal’s palace, it was believed to be the holy mountain of Teshub and the place where Zeus battled the chaos-monster, Typhon. That conflict was very similar to Baal’s battle with the chaos god of the sea, Yamm, both of which echo the original story, Yahweh’s defeat of Leviathan.[iv] Zaphon was so important in ancient Israel that its name became the Hebrew word for the compass point “north.”[v] Now, let’s add a couple more bits of data to chew on. The fourteenth chapter of Isaiah is even more intriguing than it appears. First, let’s look closer at verses 18 and 19: All the kings of the nations lie in glory, each in his own tomb; but you are cast out, away from your grave, like a loathed branch, clothed with the slain, those pierced by the sword, who go down to the stones of the pit, like a dead body trampled underfoot. (Isaiah 14:18–19, ESV; emphasis added) What did the prophet mean by calling the rebel from Eden “a loathed branch”? Most English translations agree that the Hebrew word netser means “branch,” although a couple opt for “shoot.” The range of adjectives chosen by translators includes “loathed,” “repulsive,” “rejected,” “worthless,” and “abominable,” but they convey the same sense—something utterly detestable. But even allowing for differences in culture and language over the last 2,700 years, the phrase “loathed/worthless/abominable branch” seems odd. It is not at all clear what connection there could have been between graves and branches, abominable or otherwise, in the eighth century B.C. Scholar Christopher B. Hays has suggested an explanation: Perhaps Isaiah meant something different because the Hebrew word netser might not have been the word he used. [The] term is best explained as a loanword from the common Egyptian noun nṯr. Nṯr is generally translated “god,” but is commonly used of the divinized dead and their physical remains. It originally came into Hebrew as a noun referring to the putatively divinized corpse of a dead king, which is closely related to the Egyptian usage. [vi](Emphasis added) Considering what we’ve just discussed in the previous sections about the Rephaim, the “kings of the nations,” being the venerated dead kings of the Amorites (in other words, the “divinized dead”), Hays’ proposal rings true. Now, why a loanword from Egypt? The influence of Judah’s southwestern neighbor is evident in the book of Isaiah. The prophet warned Hezekiah not to trust in an Egyptian alliance to protect his kingdom (Isaiah 30:1–2, 31:1–3), which Isaiah called “a covenant with death” (Isaiah 28:15). However, recently discovered seals from King Hezekiah feature the image of a scarab (dung beetle), a sacred symbol in Egypt.[vii ] So, borrowing an Egyptian word would not have been unusual for Isaiah, especially given the poor opinion he had of Judah’s neighbor.  The adjective translated “abhorred” or “abominable,” Hebrew ta`ab, is significant. It modifies the noun netser, which would normally have a positive connotation. In this context, ta`ab may suggest “ritually impure.”[viii] If so, then Isaiah made a profound declaration here about the rebel from Eden: The “loathed branch” was actually an “unclean god,” and in the context of the Rephaim greeting the rebel upon his arrival in Sheol, it describes an unclean god of the dead—exactly the role assigned to Lucifer after he was kicked out of Eden.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Saudi to talk with King and Crown Prince

By Sara Malm and Charlie Moore and George Martin For Mailonline Published: 05:57 EDT, 16 October 2018 | Updated: 10:37 EDT, 17 October 2018

Saudi journalist Jamal Kashoggi was butchered alive during an excruciating seven-minute execution inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, a source has claimed. The anonymous source claims to have heard an audio recording of Mr Khashoggi's horrifying final moments, captured on the journalist's own Apple Watch, shortly after he entered he consulate on October 2. The tape reveals Mr Khashoggi was dragged from the Saudi Consul General’s office to a table in a next-door study, where he was surgically dismembered, Middle East Eye reports. The audio recording is said to have captured the missing journalist's dying screams, before he was 'injected with an unknown drug' and fell silent. 'There was no attempt to interrogate him. They had come to kill him,' the source said. The source also claimed that Khashoggi's screams had been heard by witnesses downstairs as he was cut into pieces on the desk, and that the Saudi butchers had put headphones on to drown him out. One of the 15 Saudi men identified as part of the 'hit squad' accused of murdering Khashoggi is 'forensic expert' Salah Muhammad al-Tubaigy. The source told Middle-East Eye Tubaigy can be heard telling others in this squad 'When I do this job, I listen to music. You should do [that] too'. This follows reports yesterday that local police have found 'certain evidence' that Khashoggi was killed inside the consulate, and Turkish officials have referenced an audio recording. They said that this evidence had been shared with several other countries, including Saudi Arabia and the United States. Investigators have reportedly been 'looking into toxic materials' at the alleged crime scene following a nine-hour overnight search which ended in the early hours of Tuesday. As new information linking the Saudis to Khashoggi's suspected murder emerged, the Saudi Consul General Mohammad al-Otaibi suddenly left Turkey on a commercial flight - just hours before his residence was searched by police. The disappearance of Khashoggi has put Saudi Arabia's international relations in the spotlight, in particular its trade with the U.S. President Trump said Tuesday that he has spoken to the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and the kingdom continues to steadfastly deny any involvement in Khashoggi's suspected murder. Taking to Twitter, Trump said the Crown Prince, known by his initials MbS, 'totally denied' knowledge of the journalist's disappearance in a Tuesday afternoon phone call which followed a dinner between Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and the Saudi leader in Riyadh. Speaking to Fox Business shortly before to phone conversation with the Saudi royal, Trump said he was waiting to hear from the Crown Prince to pass judgement, but admitted that 'If they knew about it, that would be bad.' Pompeo travelled to Riyadh yesterday to meet with King Salman and the Crown Prince to try to defuse the crisis sparked by Khashoggi's disappearance and the Saudis' reluctance to address what happened to him at the consulate. The Crown Prince told Pompeo that the U.S. and Saudi Arabia 'are strong and old allies. We face our challenges together,' before sitting down for talks. Today, Pompeo is due to fly to Turkey to hold talks with his Turkish counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu. On Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump speculated 'rogue killers' were to blame after revealing the Saudi king denied any murder plot during a phone conversation between the pair last night. Speaking to reporters in the White House, Trump said King Salman's denial 'could not have been stronger.' 'He said it very strongly,' Trump said when pressed to say whether he believed the Saudi king. He added: 'It sounded to me like maybe these could have been rogue killers. Who knows?' President Trump has previously said he does not want to halt a proposed $110 billion arms sale to Saudi Arabia - as some in Congress have suggested - because it would harm the US economically. However, on Monday, White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow warned that the United States would 'take stern action with the Saudis if necessary.' There have been several reports this week that Saudi Arabia is preparing to admit that Khashoggi died in the consulate, but no such admittance has yet appeared. Previously, sources in British intelligence have been quoted by Reuters as saying they believe there had been an attempt to drug Khashoggi inside the consulate that culminated in an overdose. Earlier on Tuesday, U.N. human rights chief Michelle Bachelet called for the immediate and 'absolute' lifting of diplomatic immunity enjoyed by any officials or premises in the Khashoggi investigation. Ms Bachelet said the 'inviolability or immunity' of people or premises granted under the 1963 Vienna Convention on Consular Relations 'should be waived immediately.' She said Tuesday the 'onus is on the Saudi authorities' to reveal what happened, and insisted 'no further obstacles' should be placed in the way of a quick, thorough, impartial and transparent investigation. Bachelet stopped short of calling for an international investigation. Also on Tuesday, Google and a number of banks, including HSBC, became the latest companies to boycott a business conference in Saudi Arabia next week. Google said in a statement that Google Cloud Chief Executive Diane Greene would not attend the Future Investment Initiative Summit starting in Riyadh on Tuesday. This was followed by statements from HSBC, Standard Chartered and Credit Suisse which said their chief executives will no longer be travelling to Riyadh for the conference. Many American companies, including Uber, Viacom and Ford, have pulled out of the three-day conference, known as Davos in the Desert. Britain's trade secretary Liam Fox and US treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin are still due to attend. THE DISAPPEARANCE OF JAMAL KHASHOGGI: A TIMELINE Here is a timeline of events in the disappearance of Saudi Arabian journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a US resident, not seen since he entered the kingdom's consulate in Istanbul on October 2. OCTOBER 2 At 1.14pm (10.14amGMT) on October 2, Khashoggi is recorded entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul by a surveillance camera. The image is published by the Washington Post. He was at the consulate to receive an official document for his upcoming marriage. His fiancee, Hatice Cengiz, accompanies him but waits outside. OCTOBER 3 On October 3 the Washington Post, for whom Khashoggi writes opinion pieces, raises the alarm, saying the journalist has not been seen since he entered the consulate. His fiancee camps out near barricades in front of the Saudi consulate hoping for news. Turkish presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin tells a news conference: 'According to information we have this individual... is still at the consulate as of now'. The US State Department says it is investigating. OCTOBER 4 On October 4, after an initial period of silence, Saudi Arabia says Khashoggi disappeared 'after he left the consulate building'. The Saudi ambassador is summoned to the Turkish foreign ministry. OCTOBER 5 Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman tells Bloomberg that Khashoggi is not inside the consulate and 'we are ready to welcome the Turkish government to go and search our premises,' which is Saudi sovereign territory. OCTOBER 6 A government source says Turkish police believe Khashoggi was murdered inside the consulate. 'Based on their initial findings, the police believe that the journalist was killed by a team especially sent to Istanbul and who left the same day,' the source tells AFP. Riyadh calls the claim 'baseless'. OCTOBER 7 Turkey seeks permission to search Saudi Arabia's consulate, and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, commenting for the first time, says he will wait for the outcome of the investigation before taking a decision. OCTOBER 8 Erdogan asks Riyadh to 'prove' its claim that Khashoggi left its consulate. US President Donald Trump says he is 'concerned'. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo calls for a 'thorough' and 'transparent' probe by Washington's ally Saudi Arabia into the disappearance. OCTOBER 9 Saudi Arabia agrees to let Turkish authorities search the consulate, the Turkish foreign ministry says. Local media report on the possibility that Khashoggi was kidnapped and taken to Saudi Arabia. OCTOBER 10 English-language state broadcaster TRT World says Turkish officials believe the Saudis may have taken the consulate's CCTV footage with them when they returned to the kingdom. CCTV footage released by Turkish TV shows a van entering the consulate on October 2, before going to the nearby consul's residence. The Washington Post, citing US intelligence intercepts, says Saudi Arabia's crown prince ordered an operation to trap Khashoggi. The US State Department says it had not been tipped off about such an operation. Trump calls for explanations from Saudi Arabia, saying he has talked 'more than once' and 'at the highest levels' to partners in Riyadh. He says he has been in contact with Khashoggi's fiancee, who has asked for his help. OCTOBER 12 British entrepreneur Richard Branson suspends two directorships linked to tourism projects in Saudi Arabia. Several prestigious partners cancel their planned attendance at the end of the month at the Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh, a lavish conference dubbed the 'Davos in the Desert'. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon and Ford chairman Bill Ford are among those to pull out of the Riyadh event. OCTOBER 15 Turkish police investigators and prosecutors conduct an eight-hour overnight search of the Saudi consulate, taking away samples. Trump says he received a strong denial from King Salman of any involvement in the disappearance of Khashoggi. 'It sounded to me like maybe these could have been rogue killers. Who knows?' Trump tells reporters. The next day, US top diplomat Mike Pompeo arrives in Riyadh for urgent talks with the king and crown prince. A Turkish official yesterday claimed the consulate walls have been repainted since the alleged murder and said the Turks don't trust the Saudis not to obfuscate the investigation, reported the Middle Eastern Eye. Khashoggi, who was notoriously critical of Saudi Arabia's new Crown Prince, entered the consulate on 2 October to get documents to marry his Turkish fiancee - but has not been seen since. Turkish officials have said they fear a Saudi hit team killed and dismembered Khashoggi. Saudi Arabia has called such allegations 'baseless' but has not proved the writer ever left the consulate. Saudi Arabia said Monday that the Crown Prince has ordered an internal investigation of the disappearance, and an released a statement thanking Turkey for the co-operation in which they praised President Erdogan 'appreciating the fraternal, distinguished, historical and close relations between the two countries'. While Turkey and the kingdom differ on political issues, Saudi investments are a crucial lifeline for Ankara amid trouble with its national currency, the Turkish lira. Jeremy Hunt backs urgent probe into disappearance of Saudi journalist Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt has confirmed his support for an urgent investigation into the disappearance of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, during a meeting with his Turkish counterpart. Mr Khashoggi, a writer with the Washington Post, was reportedly killed while visiting the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. Turkish authorities claim to have audio and video recordings of the alleged murder. Mr Hunt met Turkish foreign minister Mevlut Cavusoglu on Monday and pledged support for a credible and thorough investigation into Mr Khashoggi's disappearance. Following the meeting, the Foreign Secretary said: 'The case of Jamal Khashoggi remains deeply concerning. The UK fully supports the Turkish investigation into the incident. 'We have been urging Saudi Arabia to co-operate fully with the investigation. There remain questions about the disappearance of Mr Khashoggi that only Saudi Arabia can answer. 'To that end, we welcome King Salaman's and President Erdogan's agreement of yesterday to establish a joint working group and the Saudi decision to ask the prosecutor general to establish an internal investigation into Khashoggi's disappearance and hold people accountable if the evidence warrants it.' A critic of Saudia Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Mr Khashoggi was living in self-imposed exile in the US and writing opinion pieces for the Washington Post before he vanished. Saudi Arabia denies any involvement with Mr Khashoggi's disappearance and has dismissed the allegations as 'baseless'.

Turkish Media Floats Claim Saudis ‘Evaporated’ Khashoggi’s Body with Acid

The much-discussed and often-delayed joint inspection of the Saudi consulate in Istanbul by Turkish and Saudi officials formally began on Monday. Turkish media claimed one of the leads Turkish police investigated claimed Saudi forces inside the consulate killed missing journalist Jamal Khashoggi and “evaporated” his remains with acid. Turkish police investigating the case had said in a statement on Oct. 6 that 15 Saudis, including several officials, had arrived in Istanbul on two planes and entered the consulate while Khashoggi was inside. The group included a leading forensic expert, as well as Saudi intelligence officers and Royal Guards, according to reports. Turan Kışlakçı, head of the Turkish-Arab Media Association and a friend of Khashoggi, had claimed after the disappearance that the Saudis inside the consulate had already gotten rid of the journalist’s body after killing him. Habertürk website’s columnist Sevilay Yılman wrote on Oct. 15 that Turkish security forces started to look into Kışlakçı’s claim. “Police and the MİT [Turkey’s National Intelligence Agency] are now probing this claim seriously. They are looking into whether the body of Khashoggi was dissolved using acid,” she said. A media frenzy erupted on Monday over the arrival of three cleaning personnel arriving at the Saudi consulate just hours ahead of the Turkish inspection team. The reports did not indicate whether any other cleaning teams have worked at the consulate over the last two weeks, or whether this was a regularly scheduled visit. If the most lurid accusations from Turkish officials are true, it would seem very odd that a 15-man Saudi hit squad did not clean up after itself very thoroughly after performing an execution that could severely damage the future of the Kingdom. One does not wait for the maid service to arrive two weeks later to sanitize a murder scene. The Chicago Tribune took the appearance of the cleaning crew, which marched right past a horde of journalists carrying “mops, trash bags, and cartons of milk,” as symbolic of the low odds investigators will find any meaningful evidence within the consulate. The Turkish inspectors arrived Monday in unmarked police cars and said nothing to reporters as they entered the Saudi consulate. Turkish officials did not inform the media of the makeup of the Turkish team. Reports last week indicated the Turkish government wanted to search the consulate using luminol, a chemical that highlights traces of blood on walls, floor, or furniture. The problem facing the Saudis is the difficulty of imagining any forensic evidence that would exonerate them. If investigators find nothing inside the consulate, it will merely be taken as evidence the killers or kidnappers covered their tracks. The Tribune also commented on the backlash brewing in Saudi Arabia and allied Gulf states over the Khashoggi allegations: The Arabic-language daily Okaz wrote a headline on Monday in English warning: “Don’t Test Our Patience.” It showed a clenched fist made of a crowd of people in the country’s green color. The Saudi Gazette trumpeted: “Enough Is Enough,” while the Arab News said: “Saudi Arabia ‘will not be bullied’.” The Arab News’ headline was above a front-page editorial by Dubai-based real-estate tycoon Khalaf al-Habtoor, calling on Gulf Arab nations to boycott international firms now backing out of a planned economic summit in Riyadh later this month. “Together we must prove we will not be bullied or else, mark my words, once they have finished kicking the kingdom, we will be next in line,” al-Habtoor said. A boycott of Uber is reportedly brewing in Bahrain because Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi pulled out of the upcoming Saudi investment conference billed as “Davos in the Desert” to compare it favorably with the World Economic Forum.

Big Tech Snuffing Free Speech; Google's Poisonous 'Dragonfly'

by Judith Bergman October 17, 2018 at 5:00 am

If the big social media companies choose what to publish and what not to publish, they should be subject to the same licensing and requirements as media organizations. Google has decided it will not renew a contract with the Pentagon for artificial intelligence work because Google employees were upset that the technology might be used for lethal military purposes. Yet Google is planning to launch a censored search engine in China that will empower a totalitarian "Big Brother is watching you" horror state. Freedom Watch filed a $1 billion class-action lawsuit against Apple, Facebook, Google, and Twitter, claiming that they suppress conservative speech online. A Media Research Center report found that Google, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube stifle conservative speech and that in some instances staffers have admitted that doing so was intentional. Chinese officials prevented a journalist, Liu Hu, from taking a flight because he had a low "social credit" score. According to China's Global Times, as of the end of April 2018, authorities had blocked individuals from taking 11.14 million flights and 4.25 million high-speed rail trips. The internet, especially social media, has become one of the primary places for people to exchange viewpoints and ideas. Social media is where a considerable part of the current national conversation takes place. Arguably, big tech companies, such as Google, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, therefore carry a responsibility to ensure that their platforms are equally accessible to all voices in that national conversation. As private commercial entities, the social media giants are not prima facie legally bound by the First Amendment to the US Constitution, and are free to set their own standards and conditions for the use of their platforms. Ideally, those standards should be applied equally to all users, regardless of political or other persuasion. If, however, these companies choose what to publish and what not to publish, they should be subject to the same licensing and requirements as media organizations. The current media giants' favoring one kind of political speech over another -- progressive over conservative -- and even shutting down political speech that does not conform to the views of the directors, certainly skews the national political conversation in a lopsided way that conflicts with basic principles of democratic freedom of speech and what presumably should be the obligations of virtual monopolies. The question of whether such discrimination against conservative viewpoints constitutes a breach of law is currently the subject of a number of lawsuits. In October 2017, PragerU, a conservative educational website, filed a lawsuit against YouTube and its parent company, Google, for "intentional" censorship of conservative speakers, saying that they were "engaging in an arbitrary and capricious use of their 'restricted mode' and 'demonetization' to restrict non-left political thought." PragerU claimed that "Google and YouTube's use of restricted mode filtering to silence PragerU violates its fundamental First Amendment rights under both the California and United States Constitutions," YouTube, for instance, restricted a video by a pro-Israel Muslim activist, discussing how best to resist hatred and anti-Semitism, as "hate speech". The US District Court Judge in the case, Lucy Koh, however, dismissed PragerU's claims because Google, as a private company, is not subject to the First Amendment. "Defendants are private entities who created their own video-sharing social media website and make decisions about whether and how to regulate content that has been uploaded on that website," Koh wrote. PragerU has appealed the decision. In August, Freedom Watch filed a $1 billion class-action lawsuit against Apple, Facebook, Google, and Twitter, claiming that they act in concert to suppress conservative speech online. Freedom Watch claims, among other things, that the four media giants have violated the First Amendment to the Constitution and that they have engaged "in a conspiracy to intentionally and willfully suppress politically conservative content." PragerU and Freedom Watch are not the only conservatives to have experienced suppression of their voices on social media. In April, the conservative Media Research Center released a report detailing the suppression of conservative opinions on social media platforms. The 50-page report, "Censored! How Online Media Companies Are Suppressing Conservative Speech," which looked at how conservative political speech fared on Google, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, found that the tech companies stifle conservative speech and that in some instances, staffers have admitted that doing so was intentional. The report found that Google showed a "tendency toward left-wing bias in its search results", and that Twitter (by admission of its own employees) had "shadow-banned" some conservative users. ("Shadow banning" means that their content did not appear to other users, but the account owners themselves had not been notified of this "banning" of their content). The apparent leftist bias, however, not only shows itself in the suppression of conservative speech on social media giants' websites. Censorship and selective presentation of speech has also led to unfortunate policy decisions by some of the big tech companies. Google, for example, has decided it will not renew a contract with the Pentagon for artificial intelligence work when it expires next year, because Google employees were upset that the technology they were working on might be used for lethal military purposes. Yet, according to leaked documents, Google is planning to launch a censored version of its search engine in China, code-named "Dragonfly," which will aid and abet a totalitarian "Big Brother is watching you" horror state. China, according to the Economist, is planning to become "the world's first digital totalitarian state." The Chinese government is in the process of introducing a "social credit" system by which to score its citizens, based on their behavior. Behavior sanctioned by the government increases the score; behavior of which the government disapproves decreases the score. Jaywalking, for example, would decrease the score. China is reportedly installing 626 million surveillance cameras throughout the country for the purpose of feeding the social credit system with information. According to Gordon G. Chang, Chinese officials are using the social credit system for determining everything from being able to take a plane or a train, to buying property or sending your children to a private school. Officials prevented a journalist, Liu Hu, from taking a flight because he had a low score. According to China's state-owned Global Times, as of the end of April 2018, authorities had blocked individuals from taking 11.14 million flights and 4.25 million high-speed rail trips. "If we don't increase the cost of being discredited, we are encouraging discredited people to keep at it," said the former deputy director of the development research center of the State Council, Hou Yunchun. He added that an improved social credit system was needed so that "discredited people become bankrupt". According to a legal expert at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in Beijing, Zhi Zhenfeng: "How the person is restricted in terms of public services or business opportunities should be in accordance with how and to what extent he or she lost his credibility.... Discredited people deserve legal consequences. This is definitely a step in the right direction to building a society with credibility." The goal, straightforwardly, is to control citizen behavior by aggregating data from various sources such as cameras, identification checks, and "Wi-Fi sniffers" so that Chinese citizens will end up being controlled completely. As Chinese officials have reportedly put it, the purpose of the score card system is to "allow the trustworthy to roam everywhere under heaven while making it hard for the discredited to take a single step." It is, in other words, an excellent deliberate tool to suppress the human rights of the Chinese people. Although Google has refused to comment on the concerns about Dragonfly, the leaked documents indicate that this censored version of Google's search engine will help the Chinese government do just that by blacklisting websites and search terms about human rights, democracy, religion, and peaceful protest. It will also, reportedly, link users' searches to their personal phone numbers, thereby making it possible for the Chinese government to detain or arrest people who search for information that the Chinese government wishes to censor. "Linking searches to a phone number would make it much harder for people to avoid the kind of overreaching government surveillance that is pervasive in China," said Cynthia Wong, senior internet researcher with Human Rights Watch. Fourteen organizations, including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Reporters Without Borders, Access Now, the Committee to Protect Journalists, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Center for Democracy and Technology, PEN International, and Human Rights in China, have demanded that Google stop its plans for a censored search engine. They say that such cooperation would represent "an alarming capitulation by Google on human rights" and could result in the company "directly contributing to, or [becoming] complicit in, human rights violations." In a recent speech, US Vice President Mike Pence also asked Google to end Dragonfly: it "will strengthen Communist Party censorship and compromise the privacy of Chinese customers," he said. So, while Google claims it has moral qualms about cooperating with the US government, the company evidently has no moral issues when it comes to cooperating with Communist China in censoring and spying on its billion citizens with a view to rewarding or punishing them via opportunities in real life. Google employees, according to the Intercept, have circulated a letter stating that the censored search engine raises "urgent moral and ethical issues," and saying that Google executives need to "disclose more about the company's work in China, which they say is shrouded in too much secrecy, according to three sources with knowledge of the matter". Google is apparently all too eager to work with China on micromanaging its citizens, and there is plenty to work on, according to a recent Amnesty International report : "China has intensified its campaign of mass internment, intrusive surveillance, political indoctrination and forced cultural assimilation against the region's Uighurs, Kazakhs and other predominantly Muslim ethnic groups." Up to 1 million people have been detained in "China's mass re-education drive," many of them tortured, according to the report. Eight years ago, Google co-founder Sergey Brin -- who was born in the highly repressive Soviet Union -- at least had the decency to hesitate on (if not turn down) doing business in China if it involved censorship. "[W]e have decided we are no longer willing to continue censoring our results," Google had announced two days before "company spokesman Scott Rubin started singing a different tune." Perhaps totalitarian Communist repression is of no consequence to Google, so long as it gets still more market share?

Trump vs. The Fed: When Markets Crash, Who Is To Blame?

Wednesday, 17 October 2018 04:03

After a certain length of time examining history in-depth, anyone who is honest and relatively objective comes to understand that most of what we are told about our past in the mainstream is completely fabricated. We learn that much of “history” is not about posterity or heritage and more about a continuous set of false narratives peppered with half-truths. That is to say, what we thought we knew is actually lies. Unfortunately, these lies can be complex, to the point that even many alternative researchers get caught up in their own biases to the point that they lose track of reality. Of course, this is what propaganda and 4th generation warfare is meant to accomplish; it creates a series of filters that thin out the crowd of truth seekers a little at a time. Those few who make it through to the other side might discover the bigger picture, but when they turn around to explain what they have seen there’s hardly anyone left to listen. Intricate propaganda narratives are actually rooted in simple archetypal memes that resonate with the average person’s sense of story. Think of mainstream historical events as more of a screenplay with a well-practiced set of beats, and the people who draft this screenplay intend we the public to act as an audience with limited participation. Our jobs are merely to continue providing fuel for the machine with our labor until the machine no longer needs us, and to continue perpetuating the fantasies that the machine conjures up as news feed fodder. There are many actors that read lines from the historic screenplay and act out elaborate scenes meant to emotionally manipulate the masses. These actors play the roles of politicians and leaders of state. They are banking moguls and corporate heads. They are media gatekeepers and manufactured celebrities. If a person sits in what appears to be a position of power, they are seldom what they seem on the surface. I’m explaining this conundrum because a lot of people out there claim such things are obvious, yet they continue to fall for the same Kabuki theater over and over again. I am also explaining it because the subject matter of this article is a perfect example of the 4th generation warfare narrative in action. The latest escalation of what I consider an inevitable battle between the Trump Administration and the Federal Reserve is not at all what the mainstream or much of the alternative media think it is. I have examined Donald Trump’s dubious background and associations thoroughly in multiple articles. To summarize, Trump has been tied to globalist financiers and think tank members for at least 25 years. He has nominated and/or stacked his cabinet with those same ghoulish people over the past two years. To illustrate the severity of the problem, I suggest readers look into people like Wilber Ross, the Rothschild banking agent that bailed Trump out of his considerable Taj Mahal casino debts decades ago, who is now the Commerce Secretary. Larry Kudlow, the director of the National Economic Council and an adviser to Trump is a former economist for the New York Federal Reserve. Steven Mnuchin, the Treasury Secretary, was a prominent member of Goldman Sachs. During the election, Trump’s rhetoric surrounding the banking takeover of Washington was highly critical, yet he now associates closely with banking alumni that many conservatives would consider suspicious or untrustworthy in their motives. Some cycle out and are replaced with yet more banking elites. At any given time, there are always several financial elitists looming in the halls of the White House and most of them are linked to organizations with a decidedly globalist mission. This fact should make it clear to anyone with common sense that when Trump “goes to war” with the bankers in his speeches, what he is producing is theater. So, when I read the latest news that Trump is calling the Federal Reserve “crazy” and blaming them for the most recent stock market plunge in October, I have to point out that this is likely even more theater. However, it is theater with a purpose. In February 2017 in my article ‘In A Battle Between Trump And The Fed, Who Really Wins?‘, I outlined why a conflict between Trump and the central bank would actually HELP globalists in their goal of dethroning the U.S. dollar as the world reserve in a way that makes it appear like a random catastrophe of political chaos rather than a planned event. This would clear the way for a new single world currency system which some internationalists refer to as the “global economic reset.” In my article ‘Trump vs The Fed: America Sacrificed At The NWO Altar‘, published in July, I went even further and predicted a choreographed clash between Trump and the Federal Reserve. Now it appears that this clash has been initiated. The fact that the mainstream financial media has suddenly reverted to panic mode over a drop of a couple of thousand points in the Dow Jones should give people pause. What this showcases is a change in tone to previous declines in which the media shrugged off or dismissed falling equities as a mere “correction.” Today, outlets like Bloomberg talk of “crisis.” As I have noted in the past, the mainstream media and central banks do not warn of crisis far in advance like the alternative media. Rather, they warn of crisis mere weeks or months in advance; too late for the average person to do much to prepare. The recent change in attitude by the mainstream suggests that the next stage of the collapse that has been ongoing since 2008 is here. For the globalists this is a precarious time. If a crash occurs in a narrative vacuum the public will naturally blame the most obvious culprits — namely the central banks and international banks. They are the obvious culprits because they have essentially admitted to economic sabotage in the past. Ben Bernanke admitted that the Fed was responsible for the drawn-out pain of the Great Depression. Alan Greenspan admitted to Fed culpability for the bubble of the 1990s and the derivatives bubble of 2008. In 2012, Jerome Powell warned that when the Fed decided to finally institute interest rate hikes and balance sheet cuts, stimulus addicted markets would crash. Today as Fed chairman he is implementing those exact polices knowing exactly what the consequences will be. The problem is, once again, false narrative. Central bankers admit to playing a large part in historic crashes, but they pretend as if they were “unaware” of the bigger dangers at the time. They also exploit scapegoats as a means to divert public attention away from their activities. For the Great Depression, Bernanke admits that the Fed’s tightening actions into economic weakness prolonged and increased the horror of the Great Depression, yet the Fed’s official position is to blame the existence of the gold standard. For the derivatives bubble, central bankers admit to a “lack of foresight” on the part of the Fed, but still blame “deregulation” as the primary cause of the crash of 2008. For the next phase of economic decline in 2018, they have a new scapegoat; a scapegoat that is HELPING them — Donald Trump. As I warned in March of this year, Trump’s presidential career has so far closely (and strangely) matched that of Republican president Herbert Hoover just before the crash of 1929. Trump has implemented major tax cuts, infrastructure spending programs and major tariffs all on the heels of economic instability, just as Hoover did. And much like at the beginning of the Great Depression, the Federal Reserve is also hiking rates as the rest of the economy falters. Trump is providing perfect cover for the banking elites to continue pulling life support from the system and imploding a 10-year bubble in stocks and bonds. His trade war can be used in numerous ways to offset any blame from the central banks as they deliberately demolish equities and other markets. The fact that Trump has readily taken credit for epic stock market gains the past two years also aids the Federal Reserve greatly. During his campaign, Trump warned that stock markets were “a big bubble” created artificially by the Fed’s low interest rate manipulation. Now, Trump attacks the Fed as crazy for raising interest rates and deflating that same bubble. Trump is playing a special role in the globalist screenplay — that of the bumbling villain; the guy who had too much hubris and destroyed everything. If the conflict between the private Federal Reserve and the White House continues, conservatives may get the outcome they always wanted, but with many strings attached. As the farce goes forward, expect foreign involvement in U.S. Treasury Bonds and the dollar to fall even further. Ten years ago, an audit or shutdown of the Fed could have reversed America’s course for the better. Now, I believe that the globalists WANT to sacrifice the Fed and the dollar. Why? As noted in the Rothschild run The Economist in 1988 in their article on a global currency launch in 2018, the US and the dollar must be diminished in order to make way for a new model led by the International Monetary Fund. The Fed is nothing more than a branch of a franchise, and if closing it down wins the globalists more power in the long run, that is exactly what they will do. The IMF and BIS are being set up as the new "global Fed", and the game is about to change dramatically. Trump’s scripted follies are not only setting the stage for a market crash which he and conservatives will be blamed for instead of the banking elites, they are also setting the stage for the death rattle of the dollar. Trump's fistfight with the central bank will create considerable doubt in US debt as well as the dollar's world reserve status. This perfectly timed chaos is advantageous to globalists, whose objectives include an economic reset and a new monetary system; Trump's actions are not part of some heroic battle for the Republic. To answer the original question of who is to blame for the coming disaster — BOTH the Fed and Trump are to blame, as they are both playing their parts in the same false narrative.

THE PARTY IS OVER

October 18, 2018 by Egon von Greyerz

“What a difference a day makes”! Well we didn’t get the sun and the flowers like in Dinah Washington’s song but more like storm and showers. For the ones who don’t remember Dinah, Amy Winehouse made a more recent version of the song. Last week I warned investors again, in the strongest tone possible, of the risks in markets. So what triggered it? Was it the Fed’s interest rise? Or was it the trade war with China? Or maybe it was Kavanaugh? We mustn’t believe that we can predict the exact time something will happen. Nor do we know what will cause a turn in markets. But what we have known for quite some time is that markets have been extremely vulnerable to a turn. Last week I said in my newsletter: “With 19 Hindenburg Omens since August (a very bearish technical signal), the US market looks extremely vulnerable. So do most major markets around the globe after one of the longest and steepest bull markets in history. Whether or not we will see a final exhaustive up move or not is irrelevant. Risk is at a maximum and we are very near the start of one of the biggest secular bear markets in history. Now is the time to be safe rather than sorry.” And so it happened. The Dow fell 1540 points in two days before it closed at a two day fall of 1100 points. After the December – January high, the Dow has spent 10 months to just reach a new high. But that was it!

As you can clearly see the evil in the world is almost fifty-fifty, my word has shown you that before, so that should not be a surprise.  For I have said that two shall be standing in the field and one shall go and one shall remain, that is fifty-fifty, and it has got to that place, that also means that the end is very, very near.  So you will still have half of the world that desires to do evil and half of the world that desires to do good, but only about thirty percent are true Christians. etc.

The Left’s Religious War Against America

What’s really driving leftist anger and hatred.

October 12, 2018 Daniel Greenfield

69% of progressives are ashamed to be Americans, but 63% are proud of their political ideology instead. The majority don’t attend religious services, but 73% list politics as their preoccupation. Religiously unaffiliated voters are the most excited about attending political rallies and marches. Numbers from one poll showed that, "religiously unaffiliated Democrats were more than twice as likely to have attended a rally within the past 12 months compared with their religious peers" and were "significantly more likely to have contacted an elected official or to have donated to a candidate or cause" or "bought or boycotted a product for political reasons or posted political opinions online". They’re also far more likely to be angry over Trump than Democrats who do have religious beliefs. Studies may label them secular, but they are animated by all the convictions of a political religion. Political participation gives their lives meaning. It offers them the opportunity to save the world. Republicans are not just political opponents, but religious foes who threaten the planet’s survival. And what do their political beliefs tell them about the traditional great questions answered by religion?86% believe that people’s outcomes are beyond their control. 75% believe that outcomes are caused by luck and circumstance. 94% are convinced that government should take more responsibility for people. They believe that life is arbitrary and meaningless, except for the order imposed by government. Government is their god and politics is their religion. Political power is their creed and their cult. These are some of the numbers emerging from, “Hidden Tribes: A Study of America’s Polarized Landscape” and a PRRI poll. Most of what it tells us, we already know. The self-described progressives are more likely to be white and wealthy. They believe in speech codes, white privilege and sexism. And their beliefs are wildly out of step with the national average which usually falls somewhere in the middle. While the left utterly dominates the national discourse through its control of the media, academia and the culture, its views, presented as unambiguously correct on campuses, in magazines and by celebrities, are extreme and shared by at best half the population. Half the country believes that immigration is a problem, that paranoia over sexual harassment is a problem, and that oversensitivity to Muslims has gone too far. The vast majority also believes that political correctness is a threat. 88% of American Indians, 87% of Hispanics, 82% of Asians, 79% of white people and 75% of black people believe that political correctness is a problem. Only 30% of progressives do. That's what skews the numbers for white respondents below those of other minority groups on political correctness. Despite their phony representationist gimmicks, the left is as white as a Bernie Sanders rally. The problem isn’t just that leftists disagree with the rest of the country on free speech. It’s that they use their cultural power to control speech by manufacturing a fake consensus using the media and by imposing actual speech codes on campuses and in workplaces that punish the speech of the majority. Political correctness isn’t the response of a tolerant majority, nor of a persecuted minority. It’s the cynical ploy by wealthy white leftist activists to protect the illusion that they are the majority. That’s not new. Every totalitarian regime does this. But that’s not what America is supposed to be. Speech control is crucial to the left because its real power, like that of every tyranny, lies in controlling the machinery of discourse. And as long as the skinny arm of the left holds the lever, it can go on lying to the rest of the country, not just with the manufactured consensus of their beliefs, which are actually baked in lefty think tanks in Washington D.C. and spread through the bicoastal media, but about itself. The left tells Americans that it is a grass roots movement, when it’s actually an organized infrastructure of groups funded by billionaires through a secretive and complex methodology that makes the mob look honest. It tells Americans that the media is a non-partisan public service, when it’s actually the communications arm of the left. But, most of all, it tells Americans that it’s the majority. And that’s a lie. Populists scare the left, not because populism has anything to do with fascism. The Nazis were declining in popularity when Hitler played on the fears of the political establishment to get a position he was never elected to. Then he used fake news, political terror and a manufactured crisis to build up his power and suppress the political opposition. Like the left, Hitler feared the public. The Nazi rallies and marches were meant to create the illusion that they represented an unquestioned majority. Most Germans shrugged and went along. As most Americans shrug and accept whatever lies the media tells them, even while knowing that they are lies. Every time the left loses an election, its big lie totters. If the left truly represents the majority of Americans, why are so many Republicans in office? The answer invariably involves conspiracy theories. Racist Republicans disenfranchise minority voters. The Russians hacked our election. Fake news spread on Facebook rigged the election. The Supreme Court rigged the election. Someone stole the votes. The routine claims that the elections that Republicans win are invalid (while those that Democrats win represent a firm popular mandate) aren’t just bad faith. They’re the emperor’s invisible pants. The left can’t risk the belief that it really lost an election to take hold. That risks exposing its marginal status. Republicans can lose an election and still believe that the majority is on their side. The left lacks that equanimity because it knows that it is a minority faking its majority status with fake news. Elections are not an exercise in politics for them. No more than they are for their Muslim Brotherhood allies. They are referendums on their religion. They are the arbiters of their convictions and their faith. Trump Derangement Syndrome, like Bush Derangement Syndrome before it, not to mention the Reagan, Goldwater and Nixon syndromes, was felt most keenly on the secular left. It was the outcry of a messianic cult whose passions and hatreds operate within the political arena, but are not truly political. The ugly hysteria of the Kavanaugh hearings had no place in normal political discourse. Nor do the barely masked incitements to violence and tribal invocations of warfare being broadcast by the left. But these behaviors do not emerge from mere political convictions, but from politics as religion. References to the civil war abound in many analyses of current events. I have written multiple articles from that perspective. But a more accurate model may not be the American civil war, but European religious civil wars which were animated not by mere politics, but by politics as a means of salvation. American politics was built for the negotiation of interests. Its separations of church and state were meant to keep the country from being riven by religious factions and the violent passions of faith. But the Founders had not properly anticipated how politics might become its own religion. Even though the events of the French Revolution had made it clear that the age of political religion had arrived. Since then, the left has made a mockery of the separation of church and state by embedding its beliefs into the regulations, civic values and corporate policies of much of the country. While official religions have been forced out of political and civic life, their place has been taken by the cult of the left. The left has always been a pseudo-religious movement. But in America, it remained a marginal one, able to make occasional inroads in limited areas, while being barred from real influence by two big parties. The figures from the Hidden Tribes study and PRRI poll show the extent to which a sizable portion of the Democrats have been transformed from a partisan faction into a fanatical messianic cult. And that cult is using all its power and influence to wage a religious war, not just against its opponents, but on America. The fundamental creed of the left is that America is inherently evil. It can only be redeemed by the rule of the left. Its struggles for power are not just partisan contests, but a struggle against evil. America is an oppressive imperialist system of slaves and nuclear bombers, whose industries are destroying the planet, whose patriarchy has raped every other woman in the country, and whose racism is killing black children every day. This is what the left believes. Is it any wonder that it hates America? And is it any wonder that the left cannot be compromised, appeased or reasoned with? Leftists will fight to impose their values on America with trickery and lies, with elections and fake news, if they can. But if they fail politically, they will turn to political violence and terror. That is the religious civil war that has come to Washington D.C. It is not a civil war of territories, but of convictions. Its causes are not to be found in economics or policies, but in the fanatical beliefs of a cult.

Another migrant caravan heads north

Group of 1,600 shouts at Guatemala border: 'We have rights'

Published: 3 days ago

A caravan of migrants from Central America who say they are fleeing poverty and gang violence arrived at the Guatemala border Monday, hoping they eventually will reach the United States. Guatemalan authorities have warned they will not let the group pass, but the migrants sang the national anthem, prayed and chanted, “Yes, we can,” the Associated Press reported. “We have rights,” they shouted. Among the migrants are families with infants and toddlers. They spent Sunday night at a community center in the town of Ocotepeque, Honduras, AP said in a previous report. The group has grown in size as it has made its way north, with many who already had planned to leave Honduras joining in, reasoning that traveling in large numbers would be safer. AP said the caravan formed one day after Vice President Mike Pence urged the presidents of Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala to persuade their citizens to stay home. “Tell your people: Don’t put your families at risk by taking the dangerous journey north to attempt to enter the United States illegally,” said Pence. When a similar caravan set out from Honduras in the spring, President Trump threatened to withdraw foreign aid from Honduras and from any country that allowed transit for a similar caravan.

U.N. ups Palestinians' status, makes it head of Group of 77

The United Nations considers the Palestinians to be a non-member state, but grants it many of the same privileges that it would award a member state.

By Tovah Lazaroff October 17, 2018 01:20

The UN General Assembly voted 146-3 to place the “State of Palestine” at the head of a group of 134 member nations, known as the Group of 77 and China. There were 15 abstentions. Israel, the United States and Australia opposed the move. The 15 nations that abstained were: Andorra, Austria, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Canada, The Czech Republic, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Honduras, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Monaco, Poland, Slovakia and Tuvalu. After the vote, US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said, “The Palestinians are not a UN member state or any state at all. The United States will continually point that out in our remarks at UN events led by the Palestinians. “Today’s UN mistake undermines the prospects for peace by encouraging the illusion held by some Palestinian leaders that they can advance their goals without direct peace negotiations. In fact, today’s vote does nothing to help the Palestinian people,” Haley said. Her office added, “The United States does not recognize a Palestinian state, notes that no such state has been admitted as a UN member state, and does not believe that the Palestinians are eligible to be admitted as a UN member state.” US Deputy UN Ambassador Jonathan Cohen told the General Assembly that the US plans to remind the UN that the Palestinians have not achieved statehood. His words were consistent with the United States position that recognition of Palestinian statehood should occur only after an agreement is reached that ends the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. JPOST VIDEOS THAT MIGHT INTEREST YOU: Cohen spoke against Palestinian attempts to unilaterally gain statehood recognition at the UN, including through its quest to chair the G77. “The United States has long opposed enhancements of Palestinian status at the United Nations. We voted against the General Assembly’s resolution designating the Palestinian delegation as a nonmember observer state. We have consistently and formally objected to Palestinian accession to treaties to which we are a party. That is because, as we said, the United States does not recognize that there is a Palestinian state, and we do not consider ourselves to be in a treaty relationship with the ‘State of Palestine,’” Cohen said. “For decades, the United States has been committed to achieving a comprehensive end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We have been clear that only through direct negotiations between the parties can the Israelis and Palestinians achieve the peace that they both deserve,” Cohen said. “That remains our goal today. We cannot support efforts by the Palestinians to enhance their status outside of direct negotiations,” Cohen said. An Israeli representative spoke against the move and warned that placing the Palestinians at the head of the group exploited an organization that was otherwise designed to advance the agenda of developing nations. “The established rules of procedure of the UN are important. Constant attempts to keep changing the rules of procedure to accommodate one observer delegation in a manner that would not be tolerated for any of the member states only weakens this institution,” Israel said. Germany, which supported the measure, clarified that its support for a Palestinian chairman for the G77 was not a statement of its support for UN recognition of Palestinian statehood. “Our vote today should not be construed as a vote in recognition of the state of Palestine. It should not be construed as a statement on its status in the United Nations,” Germany said. The Netherlands and the United Kingdom issued similar statements. “This vote today represents multilateralism at its best,” The Palestinian Authority Ambassador Riyad Mansour, said. The UN considers the Palestinians to be a nonmember state but grants it many of the same privileges that it would award a member state The G77 has recognized Palestine as a member state since 1976. However, a special vote was needed to place it at the head of the group, because of Palestine’s nonmember status. The General Assembly placement on Tuesday afternoon in New York of Palestine at the head of the largest intergovernmental organization of developing countries enhances Palestinian stature at the UN, even though it does not imply any change in status.

Somalia: US air strike 'kills 60 al-Shabab fighters'

Friday's air raid in Mudug province is the deadliest US attack since a November 2017 attack, which killed about 100. 16 Oct 2018

A US military air raid against the al-Shabab group in Somalia - one of its deadliest in nearly a year - has killed about 60 fighters, according to US military officials. The air attack, which was launched on Friday, occurred near the al-Shabab-controlled community of Harardere in Mudug province in central Somalia, the US Africa Command (AFRICOM) announced on Tuesday. According to its assessment, no civilians were killed or wounded, the statement said. It was the largest US air raid since a November 2017 attack, which killed about 100 al-Shabab fighters. The US military has carried out more than two dozen air raids, including drone attacks, this year against the al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabab. Somalia on Sunday marked the first anniversary of al-Shabab's deadliest attack, a truck bombing in Mogadishu that killed well over 500 people. An AFRICOM spokesperson said the air raid had no link to the anniversary. The United States has increased its military presence in Somalia since early 2017 to about 500 personnel after President Donald Trump approved expanded military operations. Al-Shabab continues to hold parts of the country's south and central regions after being chased out of Mogadishu several years ago. The group, estimated at several thousand fighters, still carries out deadly attacks against high-profile targets such as hotels and checkpoints in the capital and other cities. It also remains a threat in parts of neighbouring Kenya. SOURCE: AP news agency

State Department provided 'clearly false' statements to derail requests for Clinton docs, 'shocked' federal judge says

By Gregg Re | Fox News

State Department: Clinton surrenders security clearance

Hillary Clinton's top security clearance is withdrawn in wake of email investigation.

In a combative exchange at a hearing Friday in Washington, D.C., a federal judge unabashedly accused career State Department officials of lying and signing "clearly false" affidavits to derail a series of lawsuits seeking information about former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's private email server and her handling of the 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth said he was "shocked" and "dumbfounded" when he learned that FBI had granted immunity to former Clinton chief of staff Cheryl Mills during its investigation into the use of Clinton's server, according to a court transcript of his remarks. "I had myself found that Cheryl Mills had committed perjury and lied under oath in a published opinion I had issued in a Judicial Watch case where I found her unworthy of belief, and I was quite shocked to find out she had been given immunity inby the Justice Department in the Hillary Clinton email case," Lamberth said during Friday's hearing. The Department of Justice's Inspector General (IG), Michael Horowitz, noted in a bombshell report in June that it was "inconsistent with typical investigative strategy" for the FBI to allow Mills to sit in during the agency's interview of Clinton during the email probe, given that classified information traveled through Mills' personal email account. "[T]here are serious potential ramifications when one witness attends another witness' interview," the IG wrote. SEVEN HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE DOJ WATCHDOG'S REPORT INTO FBI, DOJ CONDUCT DURING CLINTON PROBE On Friday, Lamberth, who was appointed to the bench by President Ronald Reagan, said he did not know Mills had been granted immunity until he "read the IG report and learned that and that she had accompanied [Clinton] to her interview." "I was actually dumbfounded when I found out ... that Cheryl Mills had been given immunity." — U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth The transparency group Judicial Watch initially sued the State Department in 2014, seeking information about the response to the Benghazi attack after the government didn't respond to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. Other parallel lawsuits by Judicial Watch are probing issues like Clinton's server, whose existence was revealed during the course of the litigation. The State Department had immediately moved to dismiss Judicial Watch's first lawsuit on a motion for summary judgment, saying in an affidavit that it had conducted a search of all potentially relevant emails in its possession and provided them. The affidavit noted that some more documents and emails could be forthcoming. But Lamberth denied the request to dismiss the lawsuit at the time -- and on Friday, he said he was happy he did, charging that State Department officials had intentionally misled him because other key documents, including those on Clinton's email server, had not in fact been produced. "It was clear to me that at the time that I ruled initially, that false statements were made to me by career State Department officials, and it became more clear through discovery that the information that I was provided was clearly false regarding the adequacy of the search and this – what we now know turned out to be the Secretary’s email system," Lamberth said Friday. He continued: "I don’t know the details of what kind of IG inquiry there was into why these career officials at the State Department would have filed false affidavits with me. I don’t know the details of why the Justice Department lawyers did not know false affidavits were being filed with me, but I was very relieved that I did not accept them and that I allowed limited discovery into what had happened." During a tense exchange with Justice Department lawyer Robert Prince, Lamberth pressed the issue, accusing Prince of using "doublespeak" and "playing the same word games [Clinton] played." That "was not true," the judge said, referring to the State Department's assurances in a sworn declaration that it had searched all relevant documents. "It was a lie." But Prince pushed back sharply, saying he took the judge's accusations "extremely seriously." "It might be that our search could be found to be inadequate, but that declaration was absolutely true," he said. "Now, it's been made clear in rulings by various courts that, basically, the courts are going to expect us to search items that come in afterward in this instance, and that's understandable, but at the time, that was not at all clear, you know?" Prince continued. "I understand if Your Honor thinks that the searches that were done up to the motion for summary judgment were inadequate, but being wrong about the search being adequate does not make it a false affidavit." Lamberth ultimately conceded that he had "misremembered" some details on the issue. JW v State Benghazi Talking Points Transcript 01242 1 by Fox News on Scribd In a statement, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton, who was present at the hearing, pushed the White House for answers. “President Trump should ask why his State Department is still refusing to answer basic questions about the Clinton email scandal,” Fitton said. “Hillary Clinton’s and the State Department’s email cover up abused the FOIA, the courts, and the American people’s right to know.” The hearing was held because Judicial Watch is seeking to compel Clinton and other officials to testify and provide more information as part of its lawsuit. Clinton has since blamed Republicans and groups like Judicial Watch for derailing her presidential bid in 2016. “Take the Benghazi tragedy—you know, I have one of the top Republicans, Kevin McCarthy, admitting we’re going to take that tragedy—because, you know, we’ve lost people, unfortunately, going back to the Reagan administration, if you talk about recent times, in diplomatic attacks,” Clinton said on NBC’s “Today" in an interview last year. “But boy, it was turned into a political football. And it was aimed at undermining my credibility, my record, my accomplishments.” BENGHAZI MASTERMIND SENTENCED TO 22 YEARS IN PRISON ON FEDERAL TERRORISM CHARGES Four Americans were killed in the attack on the Benghazi embassy, and the Clinton State Department was faulted for ignoring security concerns in the run-up to the attack, contributing to the poor defense posture at the post. The independent government Accountability Review Board that examined the tragedy concluded there were “systemic failures and leadership and management deficiencies at senior levels” at the department that “resulted in a Special Mission security posture that was inadequate for Benghazi and grossly inadequate to deal with the attack that took place.” Then-national security adviser Susan Rice claimed on several talk shows that the attack was caused by a YouTube video, even as e-mails uncovered after the fact revealed that administration officials knew the incident was the result of terrorism. Officials at the State Department were stunned by Rice's appearances, according to the emails, with one State Department employee suggesting Rice had gone "off the reservation." Rice has since openly suggested she is considering running against Maine moderate Republican Sen. Susan Collins because of her vote to support Supreme Court Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation. Rice called Collins' speech announcing her vote a "paean to disingenuousness and incoherence." But Collins has downplayed any potential challenge from Rice.

Teenager kills 19 in Crimea college shooting: Russian officials

Polina Nikolskaya, Gabrielle Tétrault-Farber

MOSCOW (Reuters) - At least 19 people were killed and dozens injured at a college in the Black Sea region of Crimea on Wednesday when a student went through the building shooting at fellow pupils before killing himself, Russian law enforcement officials said. Eighteen-year-old Vladislav Roslyakov turned up at the college in the city of Kerch on Wednesday afternoon carrying a firearm and then began shooting, investigators said. His body was later found in the college with what they said were self-inflicted gunshot wounds. There were no immediate clues as to his motive in mounting such an attack, which recalled similar shooting sprees carried out by students in U.S. schools. Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014 , prompting international condemnation and Western sanctions, but since then there have been no major outbreaks of violence on the peninsula. Many of the victims from Wednesday’s attacks were teenage students who suffered shrapnel and bullet wounds. Pupils and staff described scenes of mayhem as panicked pupils tried to flee the building. They said the attack had started with an explosion, followed by more blasts, and a hail of gunfire. Russian President Vladimir Putin, at a meeting in the southern Russian resort of Sochi with his Egyptian counterpart, declared a moment’s silence for the victims. “This is a clearly a crime,” he said. “The motives will be carefully investigated.” “CHILDREN’S BODIES EVERYWHERE” The director of the school, Olga Grebennikova, described the scene that she encountered when she entered the college building after the attack. “There are bodies everywhere, children’s bodies everywhere. It was a real act of terrorism. They burst in five or 10 minutes after I’d left. They blew up everything in the hall, glass was flying,” Grebennikova told Crimean media outlets. “They then ran about throwing some kind of explosives around, and then ran around the second floor with guns, opened the office doors, and killed anyone they could find.” Soon after the attack, Russian officials said they were investigating the possibility that it was terrorism. Troops with armored personnel carriers were sent to the scene. Local parents were told to collect their children from the city’s schools and kindergartens for their safety. However, the Investigative Committee, the state body that investigates major crimes, said later that it was re-classifying the case from terrorism to mass murder. An employee at Kerch’s hospital said dozens of people were being treated for their injuries in the emergency room and in the operating theater. Anastasia Yenshina, a 15-year-old student at the college, said she was in a toilet on the ground floor of the building with some friends when she heard the sound of an explosion. Officials said an explosive device had gone off in the school’s cafeteria during the attack and that a second device had been found among Roslyakov’s belongings and defused. “I came out and there was dust and smoke, I couldn’t understand, I’d been deafened,” Yenshina told Reuters. “Everyone started running. I did not know what to do. Then they told us to leave the building through the gymnasium.” “Everyone ran there... I saw a girl lying there. There was a child who was being helped to walk because he could not move on his own. The wall was covered in blood. Then everyone started to climb over the fence, and we could still hear explosions. Everyone was scared. People were crying.” Photographs from the scene of the blast showed that the ground floor windows of the two-story building had been blown out, and that debris was lying on the floor outside. Emergency services teams could be seen in the photographs carrying wounded people from the building on makeshift stretchers and loading them on to buses and ambulances. A second pupil at the college, who gave his name as Sergei, said he had taken a few steps out of the building into the street when the first blast went off. He was hit by debris from the blast and injured in the leg. Sergei, 15, told Reuters he ran to another building, but said he could hear more explosions going off every few seconds. He took cover and after the attack was over, he was taken to hospital in an ambulance. “I arrived at the hospital, the scene there was awful. They’re bringing in people all covered in blood, some with arms missing, some with legs missing.”

IDF strikes back: 20 Gaza terrorist targets blasted

Israel Defense Forces retaliated on Wednesday morning to a missile strike on Beersheva, hitting 20 “military facilities” in the Gaza Strip.

By David Isaac, World Israel News Staff October 17, 2018

Israel’s military responded forcefully to a Wednesday morning missile strike on a Beersheva home by hitting 20 “military facilities” in the Gaza Strip hours later. A second missile from Gaza landed off the coast near the greater metropolitan area of Tel Aviv. Although Hamas denied its was behind the missile attack, the IDF is holding the terror group which controls the Gaza Strip responsible. “There are only two organizations in Gaza that have this caliber of rocket: Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad,” said IDF spokesperson Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus. “It’s not difficult to narrow down who’s behind it.” The IDF struck targets across the Strip, from the cities of Rafah and Khan Younis in the south to Beit Lahiya in the north. Among the targets was a terror tunnel, a weapons factory and a naval commando base. Palestinian media reported seven killed. The Israeli Air Force also blew up a cell that was about to attack the Ashkelon region. The military released video footage of the strike.

CDC confirms 62 cases of polio-like illness, mostly affecting kids

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has confirmed 62 cases of the rare polio-like neurological condition acute flaccid myelitis, also known as AFM, so far this year in the U.S. More than 90 percent of the cases involved children 18 or younger, with an average age of just 4 years old. Cases have been confirmed in 22 states. Officials said they are looking at an additional 65 possible cases of AFM. AFM is an illness that affects the nervous system, specifically the area of spinal cord called gray matter. It causes the muscles and reflexes in the body to become weak or even paralyzed. Cases of AFM are characterized by a sudden onset of arm or leg weakness and loss of muscle tone and reflexes. Its symptoms are likened to those caused by polio, which was eradicated in the U.S. thanks to the polio vaccine. The CDC stressed that none of the children who developed these symptoms had the polio virus. Additional symptoms can include facial drooping or weakness, difficulty swallowing and slurred speech. Health experts say the disease can lead to paralysis and even death, but no deaths have been reported so far this year. "We know this can be frightening for parents," Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, said in a press briefing on Tuesday. "I encourage parents to seek medical care right way if you or your child develops sudden weakness or loss of muscle tone in arms and legs." AFM is extremely rare, with the CDC estimating that less than one in a million people in the United States will get AFM every year. Still, officials saw an uptick in cases in 2014 and 2016, with peaks around late summer and fall. That pattern appears to be repeating this year. Medical experts aren't sure what causes AFM, but it can occur as a result of a variety of viral illnesses including enteroviruses, West Nile virus, and adenoviruses. "This is truly a mystery disease," Messonnier told CBS News. "We actually don't know what is causing this increase. For some of the previous cases we've identified one pathogen or another, but we have no unifying diagnosis." Many times it can start with what looks like a respiratory illness, a little bit of a fever. Messonnier said that of the cases confirmed this year, none have been related to the polio virus or West Nile virus. Several cases have been linked to enteroviruses or other germs, but officials have not been able to find a cause for the majority of these cases. The CDC also does not yet know who may be at a higher risk for developing AFM or the long-term consequences of the condition. Some patients recover completely, while others continue to struggle with muscle weakness. The CDC knows of one death in a child who had AFM in 2017, Messonnier said. There is no specific treatment for AFM, but doctors may recommend physical or occupational therapy to help with arm or leg weakness. Researchers at Children's Hospital Los Angeles are pioneering a new therapeutic nerve-transfer surgery aimed at helping patients with AFM regain movement. Messonnier said parents should be aware of the symptoms and seek medical care if they notice sudden muscle weakness in their children. They can also help prevent AFM by taking steps to protect children from serious disease, including frequent hand washing, staying up to date on immunizations, and preventing mosquito bites.

Specialty Chaplains Become Armchair Assassins Controlling Slaughterbots

Chaplains who by day hunt, and by night they vaporize

Specialty Chaplains are directing the morality of slaughterbot drones and NanoPartcles that kill.

Chaplains will coach how to kill from thousands of mile away.

Degrees to make killing more humane and be sensitive to drone pilots emotions

What do you get when you hybridize and entangle the military, technology, government, and spiritual leaders who are wolves in sheep's clothing? The fruit of this hybridization began with 503C church tax status, slipped into the Faith-Based Initiative where the government provides the sermon and the narrative, and has now fully degraded to conscripting men and women of God to make the decision who will live and who will die. It has been revealed that the British Army is training ethicists to teach soldiers about the morality of killing with drones. This is not just being carried out in Britain but also here in the United States where justification and rationalization is being sought for the wholesale slaughter of humanity not just the 'enemy'. Incredulously, military Chaplains are going to get a one year degree in the ethical killing by drone or by nano-particle. Killing done thousands of miles away in the gamification of slaughter. It is a scientific fact that drone pilots and nanoparticle controllers will use increased lethal force when the killing is played out on the computer. Our military is turning exponentially to cutting edge technologies which require expeditious judgment at faster than lightning speed in murky ethical territories that come at a moral cost. You are going to witness chaplains-leaders of the flock- engaging in killing by day in asymmetrical warfare, and then that evening conducting bible study or preach a sermon. Never before in history have pastors been called upon to become what is being termed armchair assassins. As mankind runs toward emerging technologies society and the church must face the elements legality, morality and efficacy of spiritual armchair assassins and new concepts such as 'Drone Court'. Will God's people tolerate their Pastor engaging in armchair assassination and do we really have a choice in the matter? This would be an excellent topic for your prayerful consideration and discussion among the Body of Christ.

Marxist Feminism’s Ruined Lives

The horror I witnessed inside the women’s “liberation” movement. September 1, 2014 Mallory Millett

"When women go wrong men go right after them.”

-- Mae West

“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” Winston Churchill wrote this over a century ago. During my junior year in high school, the nuns asked about our plans for after we graduated. When I said I was going to attend State University, I noticed their disappointment. I asked my favorite nun, “Why?” She answered, “That means you'll leave four years later a communist and an atheist!" What a giggle we girls had over that. "How ridiculously unsophisticated these nuns are," we thought. Then I went to the university and four years later walked out a communist and an atheist, just as my sister Katie had six years before me. Sometime later, I was a young divorcee with a small child. At the urging of my sister, I relocated to NYC after spending years married to an American executive stationed in Southeast Asia. The marriage over, I was making a new life for my daughter and me. Katie said, "Come to New York. We're making revolution! Some of us are starting the National Organization of Women and you can be part of it." I hadn't seen her for years. Although she had tormented me when we were youngsters, those memories were faint after my Asian traumas and the break-up of my marriage. I foolishly mistook her for sanctuary in a storm. With so much time and distance between us, I had forgotten her emotional instability. And so began my period as an unwitting witness to history. I stayed with Kate and her lovable Japanese husband, Fumio, in a dilapidated loft on The Bowery as she finished her first book, a PhD thesis for Columbia University, “Sexual Politics.” It was 1969. Kate invited me to join her for a gathering at the home of her friend, Lila Karp. They called the assemblage a "consciousness-raising-group," a typical communist exercise, something practiced in Maoist China. We gathered at a large table as the chairperson opened the meeting with a back-and-forth recitation, like a Litany, a type of prayer done in Catholic Church. But now it was Marxism, the Church of the Left, mimicking religious practice:

"Why are we here today?" she asked.

"To make revolution," they answered.

"What kind of revolution?" she replied.

"The Cultural Revolution," they chanted.

“And how do we make Cultural Revolution?" she demanded.

"By destroying the American family!" they answered.

"How do we destroy the family?" she came back.

"By destroying the American Patriarch," they cried exuberantly.

"And how do we destroy the American Patriarch?” she replied.

"By taking away his power!"

"How do we do that?"

"By destroying monogamy!" they shouted.

"How can we destroy monogamy?"

Their answer left me dumbstruck, breathless, disbelieving my ears. Was I on planet earth? Who were these people? "By promoting promiscuity, eroticism, prostitution and homosexuality!" they resounded. They proceeded with a long discussion on how to advance these goals by establishing The National Organization of Women. It was clear they desired nothing less than the utter deconstruction of Western society. The upshot was that the only way to do this was "to invade every American institution. Every one must be permeated with ‘The Revolution’": The media, the educational system, universities, high schools, K-12, school boards, etc.; then, the judiciary, the legislatures, the executive branches and even the library system. It fell on my ears as a ludicrous scheme, as if they were a band of highly imaginative children planning a Brinks robbery; a lark trumped up on a snowy night amongst a group of spoiled brats over booze and hashish. To me, this sounded silly. I was enduring culture shock after having been cut-off from my homeland, living in Third-World countries for years with not one trip back to the United States. I was one of those people who, upon returning to American soil, fell out of the plane blubbering with ecstasy at being home in the USA. I knelt on the ground covering it with kisses. I had learned just exactly how delicious was the land of my birth and didn't care what anyone thought because they just hadn't seen what I had or been where I had been. I had seen factory workers and sex-slaves chained to walls. How could they know? Asia is beyond our ken and, as they say, utterly inscrutable, and a kind of hell I never intended to revisit. I lived there, not junketed, not visited like sweet little tourists -- I’d conducted households and tried to raise a child. I had outgrown the communism of my university days and was clumsily groping my way back to God. How could twelve American women who were the most respectable types imaginable -- clean and privileged graduates of esteemed institutions: Columbia, Radcliffe, Smith, Wellesley, Vassar; the uncle of one was Secretary of War under Franklin Roosevelt -- plot such a thing? Most had advanced degrees and appeared cogent, bright, reasonable and good. How did these people rationally believe they could succeed with such vicious grandiosity? And why? I dismissed it as academic-lounge air-castle-building. I continued with my new life in New York while my sister became famous publishing her books, featured on the cover of “Time Magazine.” “Time” called her “the Karl Marx of the Women's Movement.” This was because her book laid out a course in Marxism 101 for women. Her thesis: The family is a den of slavery with the man as the Bourgeoisie and the woman and children as the Proletariat. The only hope for women's "liberation" (communism’s favorite word for leading minions into inextricable slavery; "liberation," and much like "collective" – please run from it, run for your life) was this new “Women’s Movement.” Her books captivated the academic classes and soon "Women's Studies” courses were installed in colleges in a steady wave across the nation with Kate Millett books as required reading. Imagine this: a girl of seventeen or eighteen at the kitchen table with Mom studying the syllabus for her first year of college and there's a class called "Women's Studies." "Hmmm, this could be interesting," says Mom. "Maybe you could get something out of this." Seems innocuous to her. How could she suspect this is a class in which her innocent daughter will be taught that her father is a villain? Her mother is a fool who allowed a man to enslave her into barbaric practices like monogamy and family life and motherhood, which is a waste of her talents. She mustn't follow in her mother's footsteps. That would be submitting to life as a mindless drone for some domineering man, the oppressor, who has mesmerized her with tricks like romantic love. Never be lured into this chicanery, she will be taught. Although men are no damned good, she should use them for her own orgasmic gratification; sleep with as many men as possible in order to keep herself unattached and free. There's hardly a seventeen-year-old girl without a grudge from high school against a Jimmy or Jason who broke her heart. Boys are learning, too, and they can be careless during high school, that torment of courting dances for both sexes. By the time Women's Studies professors finish with your daughter, she will be a shell of the innocent girl you knew, who's soon convinced that although she should be flopping down with every boy she fancies, she should not, by any means, get pregnant. And so, as a practitioner of promiscuity, she becomes a wizard of prevention techniques, especially abortion. The goal of Women's Liberation is to wear each female down to losing all empathy for boys, men or babies. The tenderest aspects of her soul are roughened into a rock pile of cynicism, where she will think nothing of murdering her baby in the warm protective nest of her little-girl womb. She will be taught that she, in order to free herself, must become an outlaw. This is only reasonable because all Western law, since Magna Carta and even before, is a concoction of the evil white man whose true purpose is to press her into slavery. Be an outlaw! Rebel! Be defiant! (Think Madonna, Lady Gaga, Lois Lerner, Elizabeth Warren.) “All women are prostitutes,” she will be told. You're either really smart and use sex by being promiscuous for your own pleasures and development as a full free human being "just like men" or you can be a professional prostitute, a viable business for women, which is "empowering" or you can be duped like your mother and prostitute yourself to one man exclusively whereby you fall under the heavy thumb of "the oppressor." All wives are just "one-man whores." She is to be heartless in this. No sentimental stuff about courting. No empathy for either boy or baby. She has a life to live and no one is to get in her way. And if the boy or man doesn't "get it" then no sex for him; "making love" becomes "having sex." "I'm not 'having sex' with any jerk who doesn't believe I can kill his son or daughter at my whim. He has no say in it because it’s my body!” (Strange logic as who has ever heard of a body with two heads, two hearts, four arms, four feet?) There's no end to the absurdities your young girl will be convinced to swallow. "I plan to leap from guy to guy as much as I please and no one can stop me because I'm liberated!” In other words, these people will turn your daughter into a slut with my sister's books as instruction manuals. ("Slut is a good word. Be proud of it!") She'll be telling you, "I'm probably never getting married and if I do it will be after I've established my career," which nowadays often means never. "I'll keep my own name and I don't really want kids. They're such a bother and only get in the way." They'll tell her, “Don't let any guy degrade you by allowing him to open doors for you. To be called ‘a lady’ is an insult. Chivalry is a means of ownership.” Thus, the females, who are fundamentally the arbiters of society go on to harden their young men with such pillow-talk in the same way they’ve been hardened because, "Wow, man, I've gotta get laid and she won't do it if I don't agree to let her kill the kid if she gets knocked-up!” Oppressed? Woman has always had power. Consider the eternal paradigm: only after Eve convinced Adam to eat the fruit did mankind fall. I.e., man does anything to make woman happy, even if it's in defiance of God. There’s power for ya! Without a decent womankind, mankind is lost. As Mae West said, "When women go wrong men go right after them!" I’ve known women who fell for this creed in their youth who now, in their fifties and sixties, cry themselves to sleep decades of countless nights grieving for the children they'll never have and the ones they coldly murdered because they were protecting the empty loveless futures they now live with no way of going back. “Where are my children? Where are my grandchildren?" they cry to me. "Your sister's books destroyed my sister's life!" I've heard numerous times. "She was happily married with four kids and after she read those books, walked out on a bewildered man and didn't look back." The man fell into despairing rack and ruin. The children were stunted, set off their tracks, deeply harmed; the family profoundly dislocated and there was “no putting Humpty-Dumpty together again. ”Throughout the same time these women were “invading” our institutions, the character of the American woman transformed drastically from models portrayed for us by Rosalind Russell, Bette Davis, Deborah Kerr, Eve Arden, Donna Reed, Barbara Stanwyck, Claudette Colbert, Irene Dunn, Greer Garson. These were outstanding women needing no empowerment lessons and whose own personalities, as well as the characters they interpreted, were strong, resilient and clearly carved. Their voices were so different you could pick them out by that alone. We all knew Rita Hayworth's voice. We all knew Katherine Hepburn's voice. I dare you to identify the voices of the cookie-cutter post-women's-liberation types from Hollywood today. How did these “liberated” women fall into such an indistinguishable pile of mush? They all look exactly the same with few individuating characteristics and their voices sound identical, these Julies and Jessicas! My friend, Father George Rutler, calls them "the chirping fledglings of the new Dark Ages." The character of the American woman has been distorted by this pernicious movement. From where did this foul mouthed, tattooed, outlaw creature, who murders her baby without blinking an eye and goes partying without conscience or remorse come? And, in such a short little phase in history? Never before have we heard of so many women murdering their children: Casey Anthony killing her little Caylee and partying-hearty for weeks; Susan Smith driving her beautiful little boys into a lake, leaving them strapped in the water to die torturous deaths; that woman who drowned her five children in the bathtub? “Hey, if I can kill my baby at six months of gestation why not six months post-birth, just call it late late-term abortion.” I insist that woman always has been the arbiter of society and when those women at Lila Karp's table in Greenwich Village set their minds to destroying the American Family by talking young women into being outlaws, perpetrators of infanticide, and haters of Western law, men and marriage, they accomplished just what they intended. Their desire -- and I witnessed it at subsequent meetings till I got pretty sick of their unbridled hate -- was to tear American society apart along with the family and the "Patriarchal Slave-Master," the American husband. We're all so busy congratulating each other because Ronald Reagan "won the Cold War without firing a shot" entirely missing the bare truth which is that Mao, with his Little Red Book and the Soviets, won the Cold War without firing a shot by taking over our women, our young and the minds of everyone tutored by Noam Chomsky and the textbooks of Howard Zinn. Post-graduate Junior is Peter Pan trapped in the Never Neverland of Mom's (she's divorced now) basement. Christina Hoff Sommers says, "Moms and dads, be afraid for your sons. There's a 'war on men' that started a long time ago in gender studies classes and in women's advocacy groups eager to believe that men are toxic… Many 'educated women' in the U.S. have drunk from the gender feminist Kool Aid. Girls at Yale, Haverford and Swarthmore see themselves as oppressed. This is madness." If you see something traitorous in this, a betrayal of my sister, I have come to identify with such people as Svetlana Stalin or Juanita Castro; coming out to speak plainly about a particularly harmful member of my family. Loyalty can be highly destructive. What about Muslims who refuse to speak out right now? I was one of the silent but at last I'm "spilling the beans." The girls have been up to something for years and it's really not good. It's evil. We should be sick to our souls over it. I know I am. And so, mass destruction, the inevitable outcome of all socialist/communist experiments, leaves behind its signature trail of wreckage. So much grace, femininity and beauty lost. So many ruined lives. Mallory Millett resides in New York City with her husband of over twenty years.

DHS Unveils Electromagnetic Pulse Defense Strategy

CC BY 2.0 / killbox US 04:29 10.10.2018Get short URL 228

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The United States launched a new strategy to protect critical infrastructure against threats from electromagnetic pulse (EMP) and geomagnetic disturbance (GMD), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a press release. "The strategy lays out a clear vision and approach for DHS to take to protect critical infrastructure and prepare to respond and recover from potentially catastrophic electromagnetic incidents," the release said on Tuesday. The strategy, the release added, reflects assessments by the US intelligence community regarding the potential for America’s adversaries to launch an electromagnetic pulse attack. The strategy focuses on departmental activities but also highlights the importance of interagency cooperation between federal, state and local authorities including private sector critical infrastructure owner-operators, the release said. DHS is developing an implementation plan to accompany this new strategy which will allow the agency to evaluate progress toward addressing identified capability gaps, the release said.

etc. For truly the news media does not always tell you the truth, they tell you what they want you to hear, but not what is really going on, except for a little, do they know that later the truth will always find them out, for one can only cover up lies for so long before they come uncovered. etc.

Leaked Google Document Advises to “Police Tone Instead of Content” in the “Shift Towards Censorship”

TOPICS: Aaron Kesel Censorship Google October 11, 2018 By Aaron Kesel

Another Google document has found its way into the public domain, this time through Breitbart. The news publication reports that an 85-page briefing entitled “The Good Censor,” advises tech companies to “police tone instead of content” and to not “take sides” when censoring users. This must be why Activist Post remains censored on YouTube and the wrongful suspension still hasn’t been removed, along with other accounts that were removed, or further why Iran has had 39 YouTube channels deleted. It must be Google’s “new position as ‘moderators in chief.'” (page 70) The document, which can be read in full at Breitbart, admits in writing that big Silicon Valley companies including Google have shifted toward censoring users, moving away from their original values. Moreover, the mission to “create an unmediated ‘marketplace of ideas'” has become a plan by tech companies to “create well-ordered spaces for safety and civility.” (page 67) As former Google PR rep Jessica Powell expressed, this is “creating serious problems in disguise of bettering the world.” “We go about saying that we’re building these amazing things and doing great things for the world but we’re also causing a lot of serious problems,” Powell said. Once again an internal leak within Google gives a rare glimpse into the company and its mindset. Responding to the Breitbart leak, a Google source said the document should be considered “internal research, and not an official company position.” The scary thing is that the document does not recommend a return to the original principles of “don’t be evil” (a phrase Google killed). Instead, the briefing file leaves the question open, suggesting Google may “shift with the times.” However, the document recommends increased transparency to smooth over the process from free speech to censorship (or liberty to tyranny, one could say), according to the report. So anyone who has heard of George Orwell knows where our future is headed. Google might continue to shift with the times – changing its stance on how much or how little it censors (due to public, governmental or commercial pressures). If it does, acknowledgment of what this shift in position means for users and for Google is essential. Shifting blindly or silently in one direction or another rightly incites users’ fury. The Google “internal research” even quotes outside experts like George Soros who express justification of censorship in non-U.S. markets, noting that Google should police “tone instead of content” and “censor everyone equally,” as Breitbart put it. It’s worth noting that George Soros was also involved in funding the “bullshit detector” a fact-checking engine backed by the Full Fact foundation, as Activist Post reported in 2017. The document also proposes “behavior guidelines for users.” This is reminiscent of a leaked 2016 video to The Verge earlier this year, entitled “The Selfish Ledger” from within Google X that exposed an internal Google dialogue to create a dystopia run by the big social giant. The revelation showcased the other big problem the company faces — questions about harvesting its users’ data. With that leak, the company’s dystopian future it seeks to achieve is exposed. The 9-minute video goes on to describe how Google could keep a ledger of all human behavior and then use it to manipulate your decisions and those of future generations. All with the ultimate goal of pushing the company’s values, offering services and products, and basically dictating the behavior of entire populations.  That video was dismissed as just a concept “meant to provoke discussion,” as well or in other words, “internal research.” Then there is the most recent leak involving plans to implement a censored version of its search engine inside China, code-named “Dragonfly,” and suppressing the internal memo about it. Further, if that’s not enough, the company wants phone numbers linked to the searches. Finally, in May, Activist Post reported that Google had removed multiple references to its old catchphrase “Don’t be evil” from its Code of Conduct. Employees expressed outrage over the company’s decision to work with the Pentagon’s Project Maven, including signing a petition, with some even quitting. This caused Google to walk back the plans, denouncing support for Maven by stating that the company would not be renewing the military contract and would stop in 2019. However, as Activist Post reported, the agreement was already signed, so the company is locked in for another year until the contract runs out in March 2019. Google can then legally stop assisting the government with the advancement of artificial intelligence for use with its drones, a nightmarish scenario that brings glimpses of the movie The Terminator to mind. These leaks offer a rare glimpse into the types of conversations and the views the company might be having, as well as aligning with many of Google’s existing products that use AI; for example, suggesting routes in Google Maps, organizing albums in Google Photos, and even composing automated emails in Gmail.

Japan Is Drafting a Rulebook for Ethically Editing the Genes of Human Embryos

Which country will be first to create a CRISPR baby?

By Tiffany Jeung on October 10, 2018 Filed Under Genetics & Health

The promise of genetic editing to extend human lifespans and limit the potential for disease is ground-breaking, but also raises huge ethical questions. If everyone can’t afford the latest in human embryo modification, then wouldn’t you get a two-tier society? Fortunately, forward looking countries are already trying to hammer out some of these thornier issues. Most recently, the health and science ministries of Japan convened an expert panel which released draft guidelines permitting scientists to apply gene editing to human embryos on September 28. Although research on human embryos is already regulated by the Japanese government, bioethicist Tetsuya Ishii explained in the announcement that the proposal officially moves Japan’s public stance on specifically using gene editing on embryos from neutral to supportive. It’s only a starting point. While the guidelines restrict the use of gene editing to conceive an actual human, for example, that wouldn’t be enforceable. But without clear boundaries, the allure of learning about early human development may overtake respect for the rules. What is CRISPR? CRISPR, the revolutionary technology that allows humanity to consider this level of gene manipulation, are essentially a Swiss Army knife for DNA. Simple, precise, and relatively cheap, CRISPR uses the enzyme Cas9, guided by a piece of RNA, to alter DNA by cutting out or attaching new pieces. CRISPR has experienced lots of success, reviving the ground cherry to identifying breast cancer mutations. When it comes to applying the technology to human embryos, the risks are much higher. Using CRISPR to investigate infertility and potentially fix diseases is probably its most compelling use-case. A landmark study conducted by researchers at Sun Yat-sen University in 2015 used CRISPR to inject HBB gene to 86 embryos in an attempt to fight a blood disorder, beta thalassemia. But only 71 embryos survived, and the gene splice properly took in 28 embryos, a success rate far too low to consider for clinical use. The cost of getting it wrong, whether or not this splicing leads to a miraculous cure or a terrible mistake, the changes in DNA can still carry forward to future generations. When Every Country Writes Its Own Rules As usual, while technology surges forward, regulation plays catch-up. Although the National Academy of Sciences spearheaded an International Summit on Human Gene Editing in Washington D.C. in 2015, the global community lacks global guidelines that, even if not enforceable, would help countries shape their own laws. (The second International Summit of Human Genome Editing is only taking place this year, from November 27-29). But the lack of cohesion means that, at least so far, policies on editing human embryos vary wildly. On one side of the spectrum, Germany restricts research involving human embryos, enforcing the rules with the threat of criminal charges. The US, by contrast, is far more lax. Although the government doesn’t contribute federal funds to research modifying human embryos, private endeavors remain untouched, and the FDA allows germ-line research as long as it doesn’t fall under, “research in which a human embryo is intentionally created or modified to include a heritable genetic modification.” But countries like China, India and Japan are even more permissive, and hold the loosest regulations with general guidelines that aren’t enforced. This makes these countries the most likely contenders to one day cross the line to clinical trial. “The truth is, we have guidelines but some people never follow them,” Qi Zhou, a developmental biologist at the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Zoology in Beijing told Nature. Japan’s status as the “superpower of fertility treatment” positions the country to be extra motivated to join the race of human embryonic research. With over 600 fertility clinics, 5 perresearch could address such a salient issue for Japan’s citizens. The proposal is available for public comment for a month and will then undergo review, setting up the guidelines to take effect as early as 2019.

As you can clearly see the evil in the world is almost fifty-fifty, my word has shown you that before, so that should not be a surprise.  For I have said that two shall be standing in the field and one shall go and one shall remain, that is fifty-fifty, and it has got to that place, that also means that the end is very, very near.  So you will still have half of the world that desires to do evil and half of the world that desires to do good, but only about thirty percent are true Christians. etc.

Dirty Deeds Done: The People of the Slough

By Doug “Uncola” Lynn via TheBurningPlatform.com  

slough (slo͞o, slou) also slew (slo͞o) n.

1. A depression or hollow, usually filled with deep mud or mire.

2. also slue A swamp, marsh, bog, or pond, especially as part of a bayou, inlet, or backwater.

3. A state of deep despair or moral degradation.

2-1. The dead outer skin shed by a reptile or amphibian.

2-2. Medicine A layer or mass of dead tissue separated from surrounding living tissue, as in a wound, sore, or inflammation.

2-3. An outer layer or covering that is shed or removed.

Not Bolshevism, which Stalin liquidated along with all the old Bolsheviks; not Nazism, which perished along with Hitler in his Berlin bunker; not Fascism, which was left hanging upside down, along with Mussolini and his mistress, from a lamp-post—none of these, history will record, was responsible for bringing down the darkness on our civilization, but liberalism. A solvent rather than a precipitate, a sedative rather than a stimulant, a slough rather than a precipice; blurring the edges of truth, the definition of virtue, the shape of beauty; a cracked bell, a mist, a death wish. – Muggeridge, Malcom. (1985). “Vintage Muggeridge: Religion and Society” References to Washington DC and, specifically, the Deep State as “The Swamp” predated U.S. Presidential Candidate Donald Trump. But it was during the 2016 election cycle when that particular designation became indelibly branded into the collective psyche of America’s body politic. If The Swamp describes the political establishment, the corporatocracy, globalists, elite bankers, unelected bureaucrats or the Military Industrial Complex – then those who buttress The Swamp should be referred to as The Slough. To clarify, The Slough consists of people who, at most, support The Swamp, and, at the very least, allow its continual expansion. The People of the Slough, therefore, would consist of useful idiots (i.e. Democrats), the Loony Left, mainstream media and social media propagandists and censors, Marxists, liberals, globalists, elderly hippies, aging boomers, welfare moochers, unicorn chasers, transgendered bathroom rights crusaders, rabid feminists, rainbow dancing socialists, Black Lives Matter racists, Antifa agitators, Never Trumpers, the Millennial snowflake generation, and government drones who subvert the U.S. Constitution for their taxpayer-subsidized paychecks. Perhaps the main concern regarding the People of the Slough is how they start every debate with the premise of their assumed inherent correctness and moral superiority. Indeed, their arrogance never ceases to amaze. In a previous essay, this author described the Swamp creatures and The People of the Slough as establishing a new religion founded upon the illusions of narratives. Yes. The Slough People in particular, embrace their faith using words like: save the earth, justice, fairness, equality and peace. They’re proud of their self-perceived good intentions, common sense, nuance and compassion. Yet their feelings deceive them because they embrace moral relativism; not truth. The value systems of conservative folks are very different than those of The People of the Slough. This is why words like “liberty” and “equality” hold separate meanings for each. In the example of the former, these concepts are the result of natural law. In the latter, they derive more from Friedrich Nietzsche’s “Will to Power”; an idea for which the German philosopher also claimed was demonstrated in Darwinism as the “Will to Survive”. Although some academics believe survival instinct cannot be conflated with Darwin’s biologically-based “natural selection”, the comparison remains fascinating nevertheless. From an ideological, or even psychological, perspective – the desire to survive can add entirely new dimensions to the consequences of political power and its inherently fictitious exculpation: “The ends justify the means”. In other words, when survival is at stake, who has time for the “lesser” conceptions of morality and values? Could these conceptions perhaps even be spiritual in nature? The British journalist, and anti-communist, Thomas Malcolm Muggeridge (1903-1990) plumbed such considerations in his 1979 essay entitled “The Great Liberal Death Wish”. Although there are those who would challenge Muggeridge’s Christian worldview, his perspectives regarding The People of the Slough do have merit: On a basis of liberal-humanism, there is no creature in the universe greater than man, and the future of the human race rests only with human beings themselves, which leads infallibly to some sort of suicidal situation. It’s to me quite clear that that is so, the evidence is on every hand. The efforts that men make to bring about their own happiness, their own ease of life, their own self-indulgence, will in due course produce the opposite, leading me to the absolutely inescapable conclusion that human beings cannot live and operate in this world without some concept of a being greater than themselves, and of a purpose which transcends their own egotistic or greedy desires. Once you eliminate the notion of a God, a creator, once you eliminate the notion that the creator has a purpose for us, and that life consists essentially in fulfilling that purpose, then you are bound, as Pascal points out, to induce the megalomania of which we’ve seen so many manifestations in our time – in the crazy dictators, as in the lunacies of people who are rich, or who consider themselves to be important or celebrated in the western world. Alternatively, human beings relapse into mere carnality, into being animals.

If you envisage men as being only men, you are bound to see human society, not in Christian terms as a family, but as a factory-farm in which the only consideration that matters is the well-being of the livestock and the prosperity or productivity of the enterprise. That’s where you land yourself. And it is in that situation that western man is increasingly finding himself.

– Muggeridge, Malcom. (1979). “The Great Liberal Death Wish”

As opposed to natural law, The People of the Slough are guided by ideology and perhaps, an anima mundi or zeitgeist that doesn’t (necessarily) require supernatural or metaphysical roots; although it’s possible. Regardless, the “spirit” behind the “New Religion” could be as simple as an evolutionary faith of Man becoming “like gods”. The People of the Slough value the illusions of narratives more than facts. Truth, to them, is simply that which they WISH to be true. In turn, they manufacture their own New Reality. This is why, in any ideological debate, when they can’t win on principle, they always redirect the discussion to race, or gender, or sexual preference. In so doing, the lofty conceptions of law and due process, for example, become secondary to base considerations such as skin color and genitalia. This also explains why open borders and the right of women to abort their fetuses are considered of higher importance than even the obvious corruption within the highest offices of government; including, in America, the Federal Bureau (FBI) of Investigation and the Department of Justice (DoJ). Although, The People of the Slough have actively utilized identity politics, political correctness, race, and gender, as well as other divisions, to gather before the altar of their New Superstition, they had not, until recently, crossed any real lines, per se, in the eyes of the Mushy-Minded Middle. They definitely did so, however, during Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination hearings for the Supreme Court. In that example, the nation witnessed the self-perceived purveyors of social justice attempt to convict and hang an innocent man. Of course, all of this illicit insanity would have especially come to surface if Hillary Clinton won the 2016 Presidential Election. Had Trump lost, conservatives would now be in the midst of neo-Orwellian Agenda 21 regulations, gun confiscation, government-mandated politically correct orthodoxies, and suppression of dissent much more fierce than what is currently being demonstrated by the mainstream media and online corporate behemoths. Yet, now, with Trump in office, the “Will to Power” within The People of the Slough is increasingly being seen by even Never Trumpers, as the once-veiled veneer of civility is torn asunder along with any remaining need for pretense. Stated another way, The People of the Slough are now in survival mode; and their fear is palpable. This is why Former U.S. Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton said recently: You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about. The People of the Slough profess their tolerance of various races and imaginary gender classifications, but their civility is arbitrary; as was demonstrated in the Kavanaugh affair. The Slough People opposed Kavanaugh on ideology and for the wrong reason(s). At the same time, they called the judge a lying pervert, even as they desired to hang him in the public square on the basis of false allegations, and for purposes of political expediency. Evidently, Catholic white men deserve zero justice in the New Faith of The Slough People. Conservative, and even politically centrist, white men are now excluded to the point they can have their reputations ruined by false allegations, slander, and innuendo. What happened to Brett Kavanaugh was the very definition of a hate crime. And this is the essence of The Slough: its disciples are unjust. The foundation of their twisted superstition is not rooted in law or morality but rather a Nietzschean desire for power that now prevents them from practicing the tolerance of which they profess. Although many believe it was Senator Susan Collin’s (R-Maine) speech that publically vindicated Kavanaugh, thus sealing the support of independent voters and Never-Trump conservatives – President Trump disagreed. He claimed it was his own mocking of Kavanaugh’s accuser that “leveled the playing field” against The Orwellian Media’s memory-holing of key facts in the case. The Mainstream Media never reported on Christine Blasey-Ford’s memory gaps. Instead, they only reported on her credibility. Notwithstanding, when Trump revealed the following facts at a campaign rally in Mississippi by mocking Blasey-Ford, the news outlets were then forced to cover the president’s revelatory statements: How did you get home? I don’t remember. How’d you get there? I don’t remember. Where is the place? I don’t remember,” Trump said, as the audience laughed and cheered. I don’t know. I don’t know. What neighborhood was it? I don’t know. Where’s the house? I don’t know. Upstairs? Downstairs? Where was it — I don’t know. But I had one beer, that’s the only thing I remember. – Source Examples like this also explain why the writings of George Orwell are a great lens by which to view The People of the Slough. Through Orwell’s specific designations including “Newspeak” and “The Memory Hole” we can now understand why lies travel the world twice while the truth ties its shoes. The People of the Slough report and swallow muddied narratives via Newspeak (propaganda) while The Memory Hole buries any contravening truth deep in the mud. Moreover, on October 8, 2018 President Trump boldly stuck his proverbial knife a little deeper into the mire: He declared Justice Brett Kavanaugh innocent and apologized to the judge on behalf of the nation. In turn, Kavanaugh, at the Supreme Court swearing-in ceremony, graciously said he was willing to let bygones be bygones: The Senate confirmation process was contentious and emotional. That process is over. My focus now is to be the best Justice I can be. I take this office with gratitude and no bitterness. On the Supreme Court, I will seek to be a force for stability and unity. My goal is to be a great Justice for all Americans and for all of America. I will work very hard to achieve that goal. Of course, none of this was acceptable to The People of the Slough. They now want to investigate Kavanaugh for perjury and possible impeachment should the Democrats win the midterm elections next month. They’ll never stop. They’ll never rest because they believe their very survival is at stake. The People of the Slough operate on emotions in the whim of moments. They believe conservatives are misled by “fake news” while Special Counsel Robert Mueller leads them, like the Pied Piper, down Russian Conspiracy Road. As they threaten violence to Senator Susan Collins and claw at the Supreme Court doors like rabid felines, the liberal pundits condone it all in silent consent; just like moderate Muslims after Allah-inspired acts of terror.

Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it… – Hand, Learned (1952), “The Spirit of Liberty”

We’ve entered the final days before the midterm elections and it certainly feels like it did two years ago. The smell of desperation, sweat, blood, mud, and hubris, remains palpable on The People of the Slough. It will be very interesting to see what happens next. Appropriately, the elephant is the party symbol of Republicans and elephants are said to have long memories. Conservative Americans will never forget how Obamacare was rammed down their throats under the cover of lies and along strict party lines, when The Slough Party controlled both the U.S. House and Senate. They also remember Bill Clinton dragging a $20 bill through a trailer park, Obama’s pen and phone, and so much more. Certainly, The People of the Slough will never demonstrate the type of civility conservatives showed past Democratic Presidents. Perhaps, the dirty mob hates Trump because he forces them to face their own hypocrisy. They refuse to look inward (or lack the ability), so it’s just easier to blindly hate Trump and his Deplorables, calling them Hitler and Nazis, respectively. But even, if The People of the Slough do emerge victorious in next month’s elections, be assured Trump will bang them like a drum over the next two years. It will be hard to look away and it causes one to wonder if Trump’s Presidency was The Swamp’s plan all along to divide the nation further apart. What has been frustrating for Trump’s supporters is how the president has failed to follow completely through on his victories. For example, as soon as he won the presidency, he let the Clintons off the hook saying they were “good people”. It will probably go the same way with Senator Dianne Feinstein and her staff, attorney Michael Avenatti, and Kavanaugh’s female accusers, who all likely committed process crimes in their attempt to frame an innocent man and subvert the Supreme Court nomination process; if not the Supreme Court itself. There needs to be real consequences, and yet these never seem to completely come around, do they? There are some who say Kavanaugh was a great choice because he was successfully installed on the Supreme Court while simultaneously exposing The People of the Slough in ways that, some claim, was a trap set by Trump. Or, it’s possible The Swamp now has their man on the highest court of the land as the nation disintegrates. Both objectives would satisfy the globalists and Kavanaugh does value national security above the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It’s also possible The Swamp even desires open-warfare on America’s streets so they can use their high-tech toys to cull the herd, so to speak. At some point, in the near future – perhaps even before the 2020 elections, The People of the Slough will cross the line of civility again; as they did during Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination process. Except, next time, it will probably be more serious. In that likely eventuality, hard decisions will then be made by The Conservative Remnant and that means the Mushy-Minded Centrists better choose sides real quick. Can voting stall the inevitable? Is it worth another try? Emigrate While You Still Can!

Italy’s Mount Etna could be collapsing into the sea

By Sid PerkinsOct. 10, 2018 , 2:00 PM

For decades, scientists have known that the southeastern slopes of Mount Etna, an active volcano on the eastern shore of Sicily in Italy, are shifting toward the sea about 2 or 3 centimeters each year. Now, they have a better idea of why this is happening, and it’s making them worried. In a new study, scientists gathered data from seafloor instruments that allowed them to track the movement of the volcano’s submarine slopes over time. For most of the 15-month period they studied, nothing happened. But during an 8-day period in May 2017, Mount Etna’s southeastern flank moved 4 centimeters to the east, the researchers report online today in Science Advances. That’s a much larger movement than has been recorded on land, suggesting the southeastern flank of the volcano is collapsing under its own weight. There’s no telling whether, or when, this slow-motion landslide will really let loose, but the researchers note that sudden slumps of undersea material have created locally devastating tsunamis in other parts of the world.

Mob Rule Always Precedes Civil War and Obama Has Emerged as the Chief Mobster

Is Obama Preparing to Lead a Coup Against President Trump? Why Does He Have a Private Army Consisting of Thousands? Why IS He Only a Short Way From the White House? What Is He Really Up To? Obama has initiated a new strategy for the liberal left, MOB RULE! Ed Henry from Fox News reported on the Fox news show on October 11, 2018, Fox and Friends, that he has uncovered evidence that Obama was planning to lead a movement of incivility against the Trump administration and all conservatives, in general, weeks before leaving office, should Trump prevail and win the Presidential election. This revelation should not be surprising to anyone familiar with Obama’s background. His only job prior to his one term of being an Illinois State Senator and a partial term as a US Senator, prior to becoming the President was that of being a “community activist”. Some community activists provide a valuable service to their community. Most do nothing but serve to mindlessly disrupt the day to day function of a community with nonsense, liberal-based politics. Obama was the latter. It is interesting to see how Obama has returned to his role as a community activist, only this time, he is performing this function on a grand scale and on behalf of the globalist forces that would subjugate this country by destroying its civil liberties, economy, it border security and its sovereignty. Obama is now doing what he does best, destroying the status quo by tearing down, not by building up. Obama is nothing but a domestic terrorist and he is leading liberals into a very dark period of Mob Rule. No Conservative American Is Safe In the Lawless Environment Created by the Left “Mad” Maxine Waters, D-CA., and Cory Booker, D-N.J., in a well coordinated attack on traditional, conservative Americans, have simultaneously called for Democratic supporters to engage in extreme intimidation of conservative Republicans and Trump Cabinet members no matter where they are. They want no conservative to feel safe in public or even at their homes. Senator Rand Paul The deranged left wants more brutal beatings like the one administered to Rand Paul; R-KY., in his backyard which broke 6 ribs, punctured his lung and gave him life-threatening pneumonia several times. In short, Senator Rand Paul was beaten within an inch of his life while the mentally unhinged left of this country celebrated. Senator Rand Paul’s Wife It is one thing for Rand Paul to be on the front line and face the dangers created by the Obama-led stooges. It is quite another consideration when spouses are are brought into the intimidation. Rand Paul’s wife, who is as low-profile as they come, stated that she is so fearful that she sleeps with a loaded gun. Colorado Senator Gardner’s Wife How low does one have to go to send a video of a beheading to a US Senator’s wife? Well, that is exactly what just happened in the following case: Senator Cruz and His Wife While dining at a restaurant, Ted Cruz and his wife were forced to flee by an attacking mob and if Cruz and his wife were not able to get away, nobody can be sure what happened. Besides Obama, Who’s Responsible? The doxing of conservative Republicans and their families is inexcusable. Fortunately, one of these domestic terrorists has been apprehended and held without bail. The perpetrator formerly worked for Senator Dianne Feinstein. Should we be surprised? Has anyone even heard Feinstein disavow this event? Mr. Fast and Furious, former disgraced Attorney General, Eric Holder set a new low for a former cabinet official when he stated the following as cited in the Washington Post: “When they go low, we kick ‘em,” the 67-year-old former Obama Administration AG declared during a campaign swing in McDonough Ga., on Sunday. “That’s what the new Democratic Party is about… We’re going to fight for the ideals of the Democratic Party.” Remember, Eric Holder is the new spokesperson for CALEXIT and this organization has clearly stated that they will begin to execute white people in public venues if California does not gain its independence. And if one follows this trail of stink far enough, of course it ends at Hillary Clinton’s big mouth as she said “we won’t become civil until we win back the House and/or the Senate” And when we remember what happened to Rep. Steven Scalise for exposing the child-sex-trafficking operations with leftist-related forces, are surprised by any of this? The liberal media shares blame as well. Yesterday, I watched as CNN committed one of the biggest acts of racism I have ever witnessed on network TV. Trump supporter, Kanye West, was called a “token negro” by CNN. In summation, the Democratic Party is no better than the terrorist organization, The Muslim Brotherhood. Oh, wait minute, didn’t Trevor Louden, producer of Enemies Within, expose 80 democratic congressional members as belonging to front groups for the American Communist Party and/or the Muslim Brotherhood? Remember, Pelosi, Warren, Franken, Ellison, Sinema, Grijavalda, et al. And let’s not forget that Feinstein housed a Chinese spy for two decades on her staff. Can there be any doubt that we are rushing headlong towards mass violence and ultimately a civil war?

Hillary Clinton Calls for ‘Incivility’ Toward Republicans While the Washington Post Denies Left-Wing Violence Exists, Despite Video Proof

Hillary Clinton, the most recent Democratic presidential candidate and leader of her party, openly endorsed viciousness against her political opponents. She said that civility can return once Democrats regain some power in the House or Senate. Link:

We Are At War For This Nation: Meet You At The Polls

Oct 11, 2018 Read More Articles by Dave Daubenmire

Stay with me to the end. Here is an opportunity for YOU to make a difference. Ever since the miracle of Donald Trump’s election nearly two years ago I have been warning anyone who will listen that Donald Trump cannot Make America Great Again! Only the American Christian church can pull off something as dramatic as that. The recent Kavanaugh freak show was evidence that something is seriously wrong with America’s two-party system. There really aren’t two parties. For the most part, elected Republicans and Democrats are both on the side of bigger, more expansive government. The idea of principled politicians is a thing of the past. The “swamp” is nothing more than a conglomerate of politicians who desire nothing more than personal advancement and personal enrichment. You are free to believe that Republican Senators Graham and Collins finally “saw the light” and did the right thing, but I can promise you that their “change of heart” had nothing to do with their integrity. Both were “caught by short hairs” and struck a deal with the men behind the curtain for their personal benefit. Me thinks there is big time stuff going on behind the scenes. Both parties are corrupt, Ok? However, there really is something known as the “lesser of two evils” and the Demoncrats were exposed for the children of the Devil that they really are. I have no illusions about the darkness on the Republican side; however the wickedness of the Demoncrat leadership has no bottom. They are straight from the pits of hell. Republican warts aside, how could any CHRISTIAN ever vote for a Demoncrat? The DEVIL’s party was on full display. They are clearly anti-American and the greater of two evils. Let me say it again…no CHRISTIAN can ever vote for a Demoncrat. They are the party of abortion and fake marriage. Neither position is Biblical. Which brings me back to Making America Great Again. It is time for THE CHURCH to get into the game. This is not about Trump, Kavanaugh, or political parties. It is about reclaiming our government one political party at a time. Let’s bury the Demoncrats and then go to work on draining the Republican swamp. Hell hath no fury like a Demoncrat victory in November. Christians in America can restore the rule of law this November. It is time for the churches to get ACTIVELY involved. A note to our pastors. It is time to lead. It is time to pick a side. It is time to show the MORAL courage and speak the TRUTH to your flocks. Playing both sides of the fence will no longer work. Being neutral is cowardly. LEAD!! We cannot miss the opportunity to MAKE THE CHURCH GREAT AGAIN! To America’s black pastors. Open your stinkin eyes. Get off of the plantation, walk away from the Demoncrats and encourage your flocks to do the same. We can all see it now. Jesus is the author of LIFE and the Demoncrats support death. Life and death have no color. Jesus supports LIFE! Black babies do not matter to the Demoncrats. The Demoncrat Party is now controlled by anti-American socialists who have wreaked havoc on America since seizing the courts in the late 50’s. Their 60 year strong hold on the courts has turned America upside down. They have used the courts to get through policies that they never could have convinced the American people to vote for. The American Church can return sanity to this nation. Please check out www.MeetYouAtThePolls.com . This is a safe and effective way for the voice of the church to be heard this November. This is YOUR chance, and your Church’s chance to play an ACTIVE role in Making America Great Again. In a nutshell… We invite you to participate in a series of nation-wide prayer rallies leading up to Election Day, 2018. We believe that… God-fearing people in our nation are called to be leaders in our communities and participants in the political process. The Church should be less concerned with being politically correct and more concerned with being Biblically correct. The Body of Christ needs to put aside our racial differences and unite on behalf of the Kingdom of God. Our spiritual leaders need to reclaim their God-appointed duty (and exercise their Constitutional right) to speak the FULL measure of God’s truth to their congregations. So what are we asking you to do? Simply this. Spread the word in your church and among your friends to Meet You at the Pole in front of your local city hall, county courthouse or state capitol. We will meet once a week for the four weeks preceding the election, and on Election Day we will move from the flag pole to the ELECTION POLLS. If your pastor is willing take the lead on this and make it a church-wide event, then great! If not, you’ll just have to organize from the trenches. We are at war for this nation. If the CHRISTIANS would flood the polls on November and vote for LIBERTY we push back the Socialist drift of this nation for the next 60 years. What kind of nation will we be leaving to our children and grandchildren if we allow the God-haters to gain control? Please check out the website and get involved in your local community. Wake up! Get involved! Get organized in YOUR hometown. Motivate your pastor…and your neighbors. It is not a Red Wave or a Blue WAVE that will change this nation…it is a CHRISTIAN WAVE. We don’t need God’s blessing…we need His Mercy. Let’s repent of our apathy. Let’s repent of our sins. Let’s humbly ask the Lord to HEAL OUR LAND. Only then can America Be Great Again! Meet You At The Polls!

Breaking: Rod Rosenstein Refuses to Turn Over Subpoenaed Memos – Backs Out of Thursday’s Congressional Hearing

Jim Hoft by Jim Hoft October 10, 2018

As we reported earlier today Rod Rosenstein is one of the most conflicted and corrupt officials in US history. 17.9KShare 736Tweet Email

According to multiple reports, Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein has given a verbal resignation to Chief of Staff John Kelly following an explosive NYT report he wanted to wear a wire and oust Trump from office. Last week, Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows (R-NC), who previously filed articles of impeachment against Rosenstein, called for the Deputy Attorney General to appear before Congress under oath this week. But today Rosenstein notified Congress he will not turn over the subpoenaed memos and will not appear before the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday.

James Woods on Democrats Threatening Violence: “I Guess They Want Civil War… Would Not End Well For Them”

The extreme left is desperately trying to instigate a civil war, and prominent left-wing “leaders” are fueling the fire.

Mac Slavo — October 10, 2018

The extreme left is desperately trying to instigate a civil war, and prominent left-wing “leaders” are fueling the fire. Take, for example, recent calls for violence from none other than Hillary Clinton, as James Woods pointed out on Twitter last night:

The REAL WAR for the future of humanity: Democrats increasingly possessed by demonic forces that seek the extermination of humanity?

Wednesday, October 10, 2018 by: Mike Adams

(Natural News) What follows in this article is a thought experiment. Many believe the phenomena described here to be real. What do you believe? —- Begin thought experiment —-

Markus Persson, the creator of Minecraft, just pointed out that the political Left has “literally been taken over by evil.” (Source) It turns out he’s more correct than even he might realize. Over the last several years, Leftists have morphed into an irrational, hate-filled violent mob of “Demoncrats” that don’t even resemble conscious human beings. Operating like a zombie swarm of mindless lunatics, they are now taking over entire cities like Portland, Oregon, where even the local police now stand down and allow deranged Left-wing mobs to run the city. Watch this astonishing video where an elderly white man is being harassed, racially verbally assaulted and then has his vehicle windows smashed by deranged left-wing lunatics who have taken over the city of Portland, apparently with the full permission of the snowflake mayor and the pathetic, spineless Portland Police: Note that this incident took place just one block from a Portland Police station, where there wasn’t a single police officer who took action against these Democrat thugs who are now taking over city streets and screaming racial slurs at white people. (All in the name of “social justice,” of course.) This isn’t the first case of a major U.S. city falling to the anarchy of left-wing lunatics. As the Wall Street Journal reports about another Portland incident from June: A mob surrounded ICE’s office in Southwest Portland June 19. They barricaded the exits and blocked the driveway. They sent “guards” to patrol the doors, trapping workers inside. At night they laid on the street, stopping traffic at a critical junction near a hospital. Police stayed away. At this time I am denying your request for additional resources,” the Portland Police Bureau’s deputy chief, Robert Day, wrote to federal officers pleading for help. Hours later, the remaining ICE workers were finally evacuated by a small federal police team. The facility shut down for more than a week. An epidemic of hatred, mindlessness and anarchy is sweeping across Leftist populations A reasonable person might describe this sweeping expansion of hatred and anarchy as an “epidemic.” But there’s no virus that can explain the phenomenon. The cause isn’t viral or bacterial, it turns it: It’s spiritual. Many people believe that Leftists are literally being possessed by demonic forces that they’ve invited into their lives through the mechanisms described below. This could explain the hatred, the mindlessness, the desire for killing their opponents and their complete lack of anything resembling rationality or logic. Today’s typical left-wing lunatic cannot explain anything they believe. Instead, they resort to screaming, accusing, kicking and crying. These are all expressions of lunacy, not rationality or reason. Take a look at some of the lunacy of Leftists in this astonishing video: Importantly, recognize that these are not the actions of conscious human beings. That’s because these Leftists are no longer human, the theory goes. Demonic possession is real… and it’s spreading Demonic possession is a real phenomenon. Catholic priests are being recruited in record numbers to battle actual demons who are seizing control of human minds and bodies.The diocese of Milan recently nominated seven new exorcists, the bishop of Naples appointed three new ones a couple of years ago and the Catholic Church in Sardinia sent three priests for exorcism training in Rome,” reports The Telegraph (UK). “In Spain, Antonio Maria Rouco Varela, the archbishop of Madrid, chose eight priests to undergo special training in May to confront what he described as ‘an unprecedented rise’ in cases of ‘demonic possession’. The Church in Spain was coming across many cases that ‘go beyond the competence of psychologists’ and they were occurring with ‘a striking frequency’, the archbishop said.” The Catholic Church’s top exorcist, Father Gabriele Amorth, says he has personally “sent 160,000 demons back to hell,” reports the Christian Post. As the story reports: An 84-page update of exorcism rites compiled in 1614 and drawn up in 1998 stipulates how Catholic priests trained as exorcists should operate. According to the guidelines established by the church, they have to follow a ritual known as “De exorcismis et supplicationibus quibusdam,” or “Of exorcisms and certain supplications.” All across the planet, priests are being tasked with an increasing number of demonic possessions, which they describe as a demon entity entering the body of a human being through a spiritual portal or opening. But what’s causing these openings that demonic entities can use to possess human beings? Abortion is a child sacrifice ritual that opens the spirit to demonic possession Catholic priests have all sorts of theories about how demon spirits possess human beings. Amorth, for example, believes that reading Harry Potter books opens young minds to demonic possession. Some priests believe that practicing yoga causes a person to turn to Satan, but they’ve all somehow missed the obvious: Pope Francis himself has been possessed by demonic forces and is working on Earth as an “ambassador” to Satan. The Catholic Church, it turns out, is run by Satan from the very top. Throughout the history of human civilizations, the phenomenon of opening the human spirit to demonic possession — a kind of spiritual portal — has been “powered” by child sacrifice. In ancient Aztec and Mayan civilizations, human children were routinely murdered to appease what local priests believed to be spiritual gods. The act of murdering children en masse — some ancient rituals involving the marathon murder of as many as 80,000 children and adults in a single setting — serves as a powerful “magnet” to attract evil. When people murder children to invoke power, they invite evil, demonic forces to possess their minds and bodies. This is the abortion industry in America: A child sacrifice factory that mirrors the mass murder rituals of ancient human civilizations. Today, Leftists worship the murder of children and celebrate abortions as a sign of being “progressive.” Disguised as “reproductive health,” the abortion industry in America today is actually a child sacrifice factory that serves to keep open the portals of spiritual possession, allowing demonic forces to seize control of human minds. Those who worship abortion also worship Satan and death. The recent fight over Brett Kavanaugh was, to many Leftists, a fight to maintain their child sacrifice abortion factories, because without all the negative energy of fear and terror generated by abortion factories, the political Left would not have sufficient dark spiritual energy to power its demons that feed on such negative emotions. Once controlled by demonic possession, once-human individuals are no longer humans. They are demon-possessed activists for evil who pretend to be human. They still inhabit human bodies and have access to all the memories and knowledge of the original host they have now possessed, the thinking goes. This is why they can be easily mistaken for human beings when they’re actually demons in human form. If you follow this line of thinking, it’s not difficult to conclude that nearly all the top Leftists are actually former humans who have become possessed by demon spirits. Many of these people are then elevated to top positions in comedy, culture, music and especially Hollywood, where overt worship of Satan has become a routine ritual among the rich and famous. Some of the most powerful demons-in-human-form are promoted to become U.S. Senators. Over time, the inner demon begins to overtake the human form, leading to aged humans who literally resemble demonic creatures. For example, take a look at this actual photo of California Sen. Dianne Feinstein: Or look at the hollow, dark, soulless eyes of George Soros, who funds the operations of left-wing evil all across our planet. It’s like peering into the empty soul of Satan himself: etc. etc. Demon possession now defines Democrats and the DNC, whose members engage in “spirit cooking” rituals to strengthen their demonic power According to emails released by Wikileaks, many of the top people at the DNC are followers of “spirit cooking,” a bizarre, demon-worshiping ritual in which participants consume human menstrual blood, semen and breast milk. As InfoWars reported in 2016: In what is undoubtedly the most bizarre Wikileaks revelation to date, Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta was invited to a “spirit cooking dinner” by performance artist Marina Abramovic, to take part in an occult ritual founded by Satanist Aleister Crowley. Spirit cooking refers to “a sacrament in the religion of Thelema which was founded by Aleister Crowley” and involves an occult performance during which menstrual blood, breast milk, urine and sperm are used to create a “painting”. Similarly, many people have observed that Hillary Clinton appears to be either suffering from a bizarre neurological disorder or something resembling demonic possession. Watch this remix video of Hillary Clinton laughing hysterically about murdering her political enemies, braking like a dog and behaving like a complete lunatic, and then demanding that Americans vote for her merely because she has a vagina: Hillary Clinton, of course, is also a “serial murderer,” explains this REAL.video episode from Truth Matters: The LGBT movement is a demonic war on the continuation of the human species One of the most sinister expressions of demonic influence and demon possession of former human beings is the rise of the LGBT agenda which seeks the destruction of male-female families and human reproduction. The LGBT movement has now descended into absolute lunacy, claiming that men and women are exactly the same, meaning that reproductive organs do not exist and that biological reproduction therefore isn’t real. They quite literally insist that children are “born genderless” (without reproductive organs) and are spontaneously “assigned a gender” at birth, which causes genitals to magically appear. But those genitals are meaningless, according to LGBT demons, because they claim that men can get pregnant, women can become men and that men can become women through magical invocations. This utterly insane narrative — which contradicts biological reality — is now being embraced by children’s hospitals, where gender designations are being removed from medical bracelets in the name of LGBT progressivism. This medical insanity, of course, will negatively impact the efforts of doctors to treat the health conditions of those children, given that male and female humans are obviously different in their medical challenges and needs. But the LGBT community wants doctors to pretend that there’s no such thing as a male or female child, and that all children are “created equal.” Thus, LGBT lunatics want doctors to treat male babies and female babies as being exactly the same, even if the medical concerns involve hormones or reproductive organs. Some men who are part of the insane LGBT movement actually visit OB/GYN doctors and demand pap smears. This is the lunacy that has now taken over the deranged Left. LGBT agendas are an assault on the reproductive continuity of the human race Ultimately, this is all an assault on the continuity of the human race which can only be maintained through sexual reproduction involving a male and a female. The demonic Left is attempting to obliterate all normal sexual reproduction by painting homosexual partnership as the new normal, which just happens to coincide with a complete inability to reproduce the human species. (Two men cannot make a baby. Nor can two women, no matter what the deranged, lunatic libtards claim.) Across all popular culture, including Netflix movies, Amazon Prime programming, Hollywood films, TV shows and music, heterosexual relationships are being demonized and marginalized, while homosexual pairing — and “gender-fluidity” — are celebrated and promoted. This goes way beyond merely respecting the personal choice and individual liberty of people who choose to live with same-sex partners. The promotion of all this is now targeting children as a form of cultural indoctrination. The upshot is that if an entire generation of children can be brainwashed into choosing same-sex partners, the human race will cease to reproduce after just one generation. Since one of the key goals of Satan is the complete destruction of humanity, this outcome would neatly achieve precisely that goal. Transgenderism and the denial of biological gender is also an assault on the very definition of men and women being “made in God’s image,” as the Christian faith explains. Make no mistake: The LGBT indoctrination of children — and the celebration of transgender children — is pure evil. It is not merely a crime against those children; it is part of a spiritual assault on humanity and the attempted extermination of the human race which can only be sustained through sexual reproduction between a man and a woman. (By the way, merely stating this obvious point is now considered “hate speech” by the demonic Left, which censors every thought or element of speech that does not further their agenda of the complete destruction of all human life.) “Climate change” narrative is a war on LIFE on Earth The demonic, destructive, anti-life forces of the Left have also declared war on all life on Earth through the advancement of their “climate change” narrative. This dangerous, anti-science narrative demands the complete elimination of carbon dioxide from the atmospherean act that would collapse all plant and animal life on the planet, given that virtually all plants need CO2 to survive. The global warming narrative calls for a cold, dead ice planet where no liquid water flows because it’s all locked up in frozen ice caps. That’s what the Demoncrats demand: A frozen ice planet, devoid of life, with no CO2 available for plants to use for photosynthesis. They actually describe their efforts as a “war on carbon,” apparently oblivious to the reality that humans are carbon-based lifeforms. Any war on carbon is a war on humanity, which is exactly what the Demoncrats are carrying out. CO2 levels are already dangerously low across our planet. A world with higher CO2 would support more life, not less. Higher CO2 levels would unleash more diverse rainforests, lush plant life and abundant animal life across the planet, transforming deserts into forests thanks to the unlocking of frozen water and higher levels of rainfall for inland regions. But this “greening” of the planet is precisely what Demoncrats are hoping to halt… because they are enemies of life and enemies of ecological sustainability. They seek the absolute destruction of all life on planet Earth, almost as if they were trying to pull off some sort of terraforming agenda to kill off humans and render the planet dead. The entirety of mainstream “science” — if you can even call it that — is now dedicated to this mission of destroying the Earth’s atmospheric chemistry by eliminating all CO2 and driving both plants and animals to extinction. It’s all being carried out, of course, in the name of “sustainability.” The Devil can’t stop laughing at how easily left-wing humans are brainwashed into believing their their own global suicide us part of “sustainability.” We are not in a political war; we are in a spiritual war The mistake people make today is thinking that Democrats are merely human beings with different political views. In truth, they no longer possess human consciousness at all. They are possessed by demonic forces that seek the total destruction of life, liberty and humanity. This is why they are obsessed with abortion murder, economic destruction, media lies and the complete obliteration of the family consisting of a man and a woman who can reproduce to perpetuate the human species. Leftists seek the complete annihilation of sustainable life on Earth. They are actively working to eliminate CO2 from the atmosphere and collapse the entire global food web, and they’re deliberately spreading mass infertility through WHO-demanded vaccine interventions that have been repeatedly proven to administer infertility chemicals to vaccine recipients. As I explain in detail in this eye-opening video, if the Left wins, humanity DIES How to defeat the demonic forces of Leftism and literally save humanity from annihilation Step 1: Wake up and realize they are not human. They are demon spirits which have possessed human minds and bodies, rendering them into demonic entities rather than conscious human beings. This is why they behave as evil, deranged, violent lunatics complete devoid of logic, reason or human decency. Step 2: Realize this is not a political war but a spiritual war. The demon-possessed Leftists don’t merely want to achieve political victory and rule society with “progressive” ideas; they seek to destroy humanity, obliterate human life, mass murder babies, outlaw Christianity, demonize people based on the color of their skin, and even decimate all crops, forests and food sources on the planet by eliminating CO2 from the atmosphere. They are at war with humanity, and they merely pretend to be interested in politics as a means to accomplish their complete destruction of life on Earth. Step 3: Defeat the demons. Humanity must come to its senses and use every available means to rid the world of demonic entities. Defeating Demoncrats at the ballot box isn’t nearly enough (although it’s a start). In many films and books, “demon hunters” are dispatched to drive evil from this Earth. In the film “Constantine,” starring Keanu Reeves, protectors of humanity use exotic weapons to drive demons out of human bodies, sending them back to hell. Countless other films depict similar defenses of Earth against demonic forces, including the Avengers, which depicts a large portal opening in the sky, through which evil demons rush in from another dimension to annihilate humanity. Although such films are dramatizations, they are not pure fiction. They depict phenomena that many people believe to be entirely real and happening right now. For example, many people believe that CERN, the Large Hadron Collider, is a high-energy portal to another dimension from which demonic forces are summoned into our plane of existence. Both the CERN logo and the logo for Google Chrome — built by one of the most demonic, evil tech companies in existence — overlay “666” in concentric circles, indicating their worship of Satan and the destruction of humanity: Further supporting the theory, the CERN facility features a statue of Shiva, the Hindu Goddess known as “the Destroyer” of worlds. CERN’s connections to the occult are widely discussed across the internet, with some people believing that the bizarre occult rituals that are routinely performed in front of CERN involve “mock human sacrifice” and other forms of Satan worship which scientists describe as a “prank” in order to distract from the fact that they are nonetheless carrying out the ritual: An epic battle of good vs. evil Look at Google today, which best represents the Democrats and their cheating, lying, censoring and oppression of truth. Google is run by Democrats who absolutely despise America, hate Christian white men and who literally seek the destruction of all knowledge they cannot control. (This all came out in a bombshell internal Google report that was recently leaked to Breitbart News.) After banning Natural News, InfoWars and thousands of other liberty-oriented websites and video channels, Google now claims it’s a “conspiracy theory” to believe they exert any bias at all. Google is saturated with evil, which is exactly what enables the discredited technology company to build suppression and surveillance systems for evil communist regimes like Red China, where religion is criminalized by the evil government regime that Google serves. These actions on the part of Google have recently led to Google engineers to flee the company to escape the intense evil that’s present there. To save humanity, we must defeat not merely Google but all forms of evil that now dominate our society. In addition to Google, we must also defeat and dismantle the DNC, the CDC, the FDA and the entire left-wing media complex that brainwashes humanity into a suicide cult (through planned disinformation, the embracing of suicidal technologies like 5G, the promotion of life-damaging herbicides, and so on). Recognize that the Left is not a political movement but an eradication army that is systematically working to destroy humanity and transform the planet into a cold, lifeless dead zone. They cannot be reasoned with or educated with rational ideas. They are immune to reason because they aren’t humans on the inside. They must be defeated at every level of society in order to rid our world of demonic evil. —- End thought experiment —- Or maybe they’re all just really stupid morons who aren’t possessed by demons but are somehow incredibly stupid humans, in which case we need to defeat them anyway.

Mob Brutality

By Hal Lindsey

Senator Ted Cruz made a reservation for himself and his wife at a local Washington, DC restaurant. Someone at the restaurant told an Antifa group called “Smash Racism DC” that he would be there. Protestors gathered an hour before Senator Cruz arrived. They sat covertly in the restaurant’s bar area while they waited. As the Senator and his wife approached their table, Antifa sprung its ambush. They chanted, “We believe survivors!” And they kept on robotically chanting those words throughout their attack. Those words, by the way, are almost meaningless. We all believe those we know to be survivors. But the rest of us have to measure evidence when deciding the validity of accusations. Here’s what the group really means with that chant. “We believe all accusers.” But even that’s not entirely true. They apparently do not believe the accuser of Keith Ellison — the first Muslim elected to the US Congress and Deputy Chair of the Democratic National Committee. The protestors were in the faces of the Senator and his wife. They blocked the way, even as the couple tried to quietly leave the restaurant. But, of course, they shouldn’t have had to leave at all. According to the Washington Post, waiters struggled to get the door open for the couple to leave. “Finally, the waiters got the door open, then slammed it shut again as soon as the Cruzes had walked out into the night. The crowd inside whooped. ‘This is what’ll happen to you if you support Kavanaugh!’ a man warned the other patrons as they passed back through the bar.” Smash Racism DC put out a statement later that night. It ended by saying, “This is a message to Ted Cruz, Brett Kavanaugh, Donald Trump and the rest of the racist, sexist, transphobic, and homophobic right-wing scum: You are not safe. We will find you.” This is a violent threat made by violent people to violent ends. Last year, a man with a similar mindset attacked members of Congress practicing for the annual Congressional Baseball Game for Charity. He shot four people, seriously injuring Steve Scalise of Louisiana. Later, Senator Rand Paul was attacked by a neighbor, and beaten within an inch of his life. He had several broken ribs and a damaged lung. Over time, he developed pneumonia in that lung. His wife, Kelley, wrote, “The average person takes 20,000 breaths a day. Since November 3, my husband, Rand Paul, has not taken a single one without pain. He has not had a single night's sleep uninterrupted by long periods of difficult breathing or excruciating coughing.” In recent days, US Senators have been threatened and accosted in the very halls of the US Capitol. A few days ago, a candidate for the Colorado State Senate was shot at while sitting in her vehicle. In Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, and other countries, violence has become a significant factor in elections. And now the United States stands oh-so-close to that same terrible reality. Jesus said the last days would be like the days of Noah and Lot. Genesis tells us that Noah’s time was characterized by violence. We often associate the time of Lot with the prevalence of homosexuality. But it wasn’t just that. It was also a time of violent mobs. Pray for America. And don’t forget to pray for Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, and those other places living under the growing threat of political violence and mob brutality.

Trump, no longer ratings gold, loses his prime-time spot on Fox News

In a crucial period with the midterms less than a month away, some in the White House are worried that the president is losing a megaphone to his base.

By JASON SCHWARTZ and GABBY ORR 10/10/2018 07:54 PM EDT

President Donald Trump loves to brag about ratings, but he’s not getting them anymore. As he’s ramped up his rally schedule ahead of the midterms, viewership numbers for the raucous prime-time events have been roughly similar to — sometimes dipping below — Fox News’ regular programming, and the network has recently stopped airing most evening events in full. During three Trump rallies last week, Fox News showed clips and highlights from his speeches but stuck largely with its normal weekday prime-time programming. On Saturday, when “Fox Report Weekend” and “Justice with Judge Jeanine” would ordinarily air, the network showed Trump’s speech from Topeka, Kan., in full. But on Tuesday, a rally in Council Bluffs, Iowa, was particularly hard to find — it was not aired live on any major network, and even C-SPAN cut away for other news. And on Wednesday night, as Trump took the stage in Erie, Pa., at 7 p.m., Fox News stuck with its coverage of Hurricane Michael. Since Trump took office, CNN and MSNBC have mostly declined to air his campaign rallies, though, like Fox News, they’ll typically carry any presidential speeches or comments to reporters. Fox still provides livestreams of the campaign events online, but during a crucial period, with the midterms less than a month away, some in the White House are worried that the president is losing a prime-time megaphone to his base. One senior White House official was unsure why the network would decide to cut away from presidential rallies, saying officials planned “to look into that” and wouldn’t be surprised if White House communications director Bill Shine, a former Fox News executive, was in touch with former colleagues about the trend. The loss of national coverage is equally, if not more, concerning to the candidates on whose behalf Trump is traveling the country. “It exposes us to a national audience that we normally don’t get to,” a Senate Republican campaign staffer said of the coverage of Trump rallies. “We tend to see lots of new sign-ups and small-dollar donations. There’s obviously folks streaming [rallies] online, but being able to be onstage with the president in front of a prime-time audience is huge for a campaign trying to reach conservatives across the country who will open up their wallets.” A source close to Trump described the declining coverage as a “huge loss on the state and local level for Republicans because they’re certainly not going to get any of that on other cable networks.” “If they stop taking them completely, that might create a problem,” this person said. “Trump is a massive consumer of the media, so he may be disappointed.” Neither Fox News nor the White House responded to requests for comment. But from Fox’s perspective, Trump is no longer a sure bet to beat Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity or Laura Ingraham. For instance, on Aug. 30, Fox News’ 8 p.m. hour was mostly consumed by Trump’s rally in Evansville, Ind., earning 2.536 million viewers, according to Nielsen, compared to the 2.8 million viewers Carlson averaged at that time during 2018’s third quarter. In 2017, when Trump rallied much less frequently, his events at times popped for more than 4 million viewers on Fox News — a number he hasn’t come close to in 2018, according to a POLITICO assessment of Nielsen ratings. This year, numbers have typically ranged from 2.5 to 3.5 million, per Nielsen, depending on a variety of factors, including day, time and whether there’s something big on another channel. The biggest change is the sheer number of rallies. With so many, “they don’t want to give up so much prime-time real estate,” said one person familiar with Fox News’ decision making. Trump’s campaign speeches tend to follow a similar pattern, and this person said network officials’ fear was that too much repetition would lead to lower ratings. That could particularly be a problem during a busy news period like the first week of October, when Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination was still up in the air. “They’re going with the route they think will give the best ratings performance,” the person said. Compounding the issue, Fox News can’t take commercial breaks while Trump is speaking — he often goes on for more than an hour — costing the network some of its best advertising slots. With so many rallies and little promise of a ratings boost, there’s not much incentive for the network to clear air time. It can also be frustrating to plan an hourlong show knowing each block might be swapped for a standard presidential stump speech, said former Fox News host Eric Bolling, who left the network in September 2017 but whose program was often interrupted by rally coverage during his tenure. Not too long ago, the president’s preferred network was taking jabs at competitors for declining to air the entirety of his remarks. “Trump rally live & only on Fox News, other networks ignore presidential rally,” read a chyron during a June appearance by Trump in Duluth, Minn., as CNN and MSNBC stuck to their standard shows. At least four more times between June and July, Fox News traded its prime-time lineup for live coverage of the president’s rallies when other cable news networks chose alternative programming. But Trump has increased his campaign travel considerably in the final weeks before the midterm elections, leaving Fox News to decide between wall-to-wall coverage of his rallies or more selective airtime for the president. One GOP campaign operative said nightly rallies aired live and in full would probably subject Fox News to even greater scrutiny. The channel has often been described as a “propaganda machine” by Trump’s political opponents, many of whom claim its coverage of his administration has at times been sycophantic. “If every night Trump does a rally, a station carries it, you just become the president’s station,” the GOP operative said. The president hasn’t faulted the network so far for recent changes to its programming. At his Tuesday-night rally in Iowa — which wasn’t aired — he heaped praise on his “great friends” at Fox News. “We got a lot of good people. Do we like Tucker?” he asked the crowd. “I like Tucker.”

Obama had secret plan to validate Clinton victory if Trump didn't accept it: report

By Lukas Mikelionis | Fox News

Former President Obama had a plan to validate the 2016 election in the event that then-candidate Donald Trump lost and challenged the results. Obama administration officials told New York magazine that a bipartisan plan was in place just in time for the election to certify the results and reveal the intelligence community’s claims that Russian interference supported Trump’s candidacy. Such a measure was devised after Trump said the election was “rigged” and joked on the campaign trail that he wouldn’t accept the election results if he lost. “I will totally accept the result of this great and historic presidential election,” he said. “If I win.” The plan to validate the election involved former secretaries of state Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice. Former presidents and congressional Republicans also participated in the plan, the outlet reported. Ben Rhodes, a former top aide of Obama, told the magazine that the administration feared Trump wouldn’t accept the election result had Hillary Clinton won. “It wasn’t a hypothetical,” he said. “Trump was already saying it on the campaign trail.” Jen Psaki, communications director for Obama, minimized the plan’s significance, saying it just one of a number of “red-teaming” discussions about the potential fallout following the 2016 election, including pro-Trump protests and political division. She said that Obama’s unpopularity among “a portion of the population” meant there was a need for a plan to validate the election. “For them, just having him say the election was legitimate was not going to be enough,” she said. “I don’t think there is any indication to suggest that if that’s where things headed, [Trump] would accept it,” Psaki added. “He’s laying the groundwork for delegitimizing the process now — questioning our institutions, attacking their leadership. This is all fodder for his supporters to work with in the event that things go down a dark path for him.” Lukas Mikelionis is a reporter for FoxNews.com. Follow him on Twitter @LukasMikelionis.

Mexico's Morgues Are Overflowing As Its Murder Rate Rises

4:31

Heard on All Things Considered

Carrie Kahn 2010 October 10, 20185:24 PM ET

Rising rates of homicides and drug violence have created an overflow at Mexico's morgues. So much so, that several cities have resorted to storing dead bodies in refrigerated trailers. This sparked a national scandal after some residents complained about the stench coming from one of the trailers parked in their neighborhood in the western city of Guadalajara. Authorities say there are two trailers packed with human remains, and dozens more bodies stacked up in the city's morgue. They say there are 444 in all. Some of the bodies have been in storage for more than three years. The trailers are now back at the morgue. And María del Rosillo Limón Maldonado says the whole place reeks of death. "The smell penetrates you, totally envelops you," Limón says, standing in front of the huge stark white building. Limón and her husband are from the state of Puebla and saw news of the trailers on TV. Their daughter, Paulina, has been missing since 2015. She was 19 at the time and 4 months pregnant. They think that maybe her body is in one of the trailers. "We have seen so many bodies during these long three years searching for her," says Limón. People from all over Mexico have flooded to the morgue in Guadalajara in search of their relatives. About a hundred show up every day. Homicides are at record rates in Mexico. Nearly 30,000 people were murdered last year. This year is on track to be worse, with more than 33,000 homicides registered by the end of August. María Ramos also waits outside the huge Guadalajara morgue. Her 34-year-old son went missing in October. She says authorities took her DNA sample back then, but according to the news reports she's seen, they haven't done anything to identify the hundreds of bodies inside. "How am I ever going to find my son?" she sobs. "I feel so helpless and furious at the same time." The morgue's new director, Carlos Daniel Barba Rodríguez, says he has a lot of work ahead of him. "I will have to get done as quick as possible, all the work that these people didn't get done in the last three years," he says in an interview in his office. The overwhelming stench of the trailers permeates the walls. Five officials, including the past director, have been fired since the trailers were discovered and the scandal erupted. The governor has given Barba Rodríguez until Oct. 15 to clear the bodies out. "We'll do everything we can to make that deadline," he says, but he adds they will take the necessary time to do it right. Confusion over a new law prohibiting the cremation of crime victims caused the backlog, says Barba Rodríguez, along with negligence by the former director. Calls to that former director weren't returned. He has denied any wrongdoing. Barba Rodríguez says once proper identification of the bodies is done, they can legally be interred. But officials in Guadalajara face another problem — the seemingly endless arrival of new bodies. In a hillside neighborhood on the outskirts of Guadalajara, police officers climbed into their truck and drove out of Robles on a recent night. They just finished recovering four bodies from a clandestine shallow grave in an empty field behind the rows of houses. "We are no longer known as Robles, now it's the Robles graveyard," says a resident who would only give me her first name, María. She says she's scared of the drug gangs that are dumping bodies here. Homicides have exploded in the state of Jalisco, home to the country's now largest and most vicious drug gang, the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. Last year more than 1,300 murders were reported in Jalisco. This year's figure already tops 1,400. Meanwhile, workers at one of the city's largest cemeteries are quickly building rows of concrete crypts for the hundreds of bodies still at the morgue. Dozens of bodies have already been placed here, including those from families that can't afford a funeral, like María del Transito Zamora. Her son was one of the first identified among those in the morgue. "I wanted to have the funeral here at my home," she says in the living room of her small residence, where a picture of her son and grandson are surrounded by white roses and votive candles. But the 68-year-old mother and grandmother says the authorities, who only paid for the crypt interment, wouldn't allow it. It took Transito Zamora months to get her son's body out of the morgue. She's still waiting for authorities to allow her to give her grandson a proper goodbye. Both men were abducted together earlier this year, but she says officials still haven't figured out which body is her grandson's among the hundreds still at the morgue.

‘Great Depression’ ahead? IMF sounds dire warning

Massive government debts and eroded fiscal buffers since 2008 suggest global dominos await a single market crash

By William Pesek October 9, 2018 3:26 PM (UTC+8)

Is another “Great Depression” on the horizon? It would be easier to dismiss these words from Nouriel Roubini, Marc Faber or other doom-and-gloom prognosticators. Coming from Christine Lagarde’s team, though, they take on a new dimension of scary. The International Monetary Fund head isn’t known for breathlessness on the world stage. And yet the IMF sounded downright alarmist in its latest Global Financial Stability report, stating that “large challenges loom for the global economy to prevent a second Great Depression.” Even some market bears were taken aback. “Why,” asks Michael Snyder of The Economic Collapse Blog would the IMF use this phrase “in a report that they know the entire world will read?” Perhaps because, unfortunately, the findings of other referees of global risks – including the Bank for International Settlements – hint at similar dislocations. Ten years after the Lehman Brothers crisis, these worrisome warnings that will be explored in depth at this week’s annual IMF meeting in Bali. The tranquil setting, though, will offer few respites from cracks appearing in markets everywhere – from Italy to China to Southeast Asia, where currencies are cratering like it’s 1998 again. Potential flashpoints and a long line of dominos Italy is the current flashpoint – and the latest target of “domino effect” chatter in frothy world markets. China’s shadow-banking bubble, and the extreme opacity and regulations that enable it, also came in for criticism. And, of course, the 800-pound beast in any room where global investors gather these days: Donald Trump’s assault on world trade. But the real worry is the health of foundations underpinning these and other risks. As the BIS warned on Sept. 23, the global economy faces a potential “relapse” of the “Lehman shock” of 2008. “Things look rather fragile,” says BIS chief economist Claudio Borio. Equally worrying, he adds: “There’s little left in the medicine chest to nurse the patient back to health or care for him in case of a relapse.” A similar connection of dangerous dots runs through the IMF’s latest report. The big problem, says Malhar Nabar, deputy chief of IMF research, is the one that investors tend to ignore or explain away: how much of the Lehman fallout is still with us. “There are many countries, even today, that are operating below pre-crisis trends,” Nabar says. “And what’s interesting is not just countries that suffered banking crises in 2007-2008 but also other countries outside of that epicenter that were affected through trade links or through financial links.” Increased inequality is one troubling side-effect. Yet Nabar highlights, “possible long-lasting effects of the crisis on potential growth” that might seem tangential to Wall Street’s crash – lower birth rates, lower fertility and even “some evidence of slower technology adoption.” All this, he says, “can affect productivity growth and potential growth going forward.” There is no doubt that many of the official policy actions taken since 2008 “seemed to have helped limit the harm.” But the costs of those efforts are only beginning to get calculated. 2008 crisis measures cast long, dark shadow Excessively loose monetary policies have exacerbated the widening inequality trends unfolding pre-Lehman crackup. At the same time, there’s been, in the words of the IMF, a “large accumulation of public debt and the erosion of fiscal buffers in many economies following the crisis point to the urgency of rebuilding defenses to prepare for the next downturn.” Yet all the diplomatic speak in the world can’t sugarcoat the roughly $250 trillion crisis unfolding in slow motion. That’s the level to which the world’s debt burden ballooned since the Lehman crash. That’s 18 times China’s annual gross domestic product. And with official rates from Washington to Tokyo still at ultra-low levels historically, there’s little ammunition to battle the next reckoning. Italy’s debt woes are an obvious weak link. One reason: just as with US officials after 2008, Europe did more to treat the symptoms of its woes than address underlying causes. So is China’s unbalanced economy, one being trolled by US President Donald Trump’s tariffs arms race. This year’s 6.4% drop in the yuan is raising eyebrows for good reason. For one thing, it coincides with a marked slowdown in exports, industrial production, fixed-asset investment and an 18% plunge in Shanghai stocks this year. For another, it raised the specter of sizable defaults on dollar debt, which would reverberate through the global economy. And therein lies Asia’s problem. Asia’s exposure In general, the region has journeyed a long way since the darkest days of 1997 and 1998. Financial systems are stronger and governments are more transparent. Currencies are more flexible. Foreign-exchange reserves have been rebuilt. That leaves advanced economies from South Korea to Singapore reasonably well equipped to withstand fresh turmoil. But there are cracks in the region’s developing markets, as the ferocity of currency plunges in India, Indonesia and the Philippines show. Investors may argue they’ve learned from past misstates, but still fall prey to herd mentalities. It’s an urgent wakeup call for India’s Narendra Modi, Indonesia’s Joko Widodo and Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines to narrow current-account and budget deficits. Leaders also need to devise macroprudential firewalls against global contagion. The problem for Asia: contagion could come as much from the West and its own backyard. Trump’s fiscal incompetence – including a $1.5 trillion tax cut America didn’t need – could roil global rates and the dollar. A recent spike in 10-year yields to 3.2%, the highest in seven years, could be a bad omen. Trump, too, is publicly dueling with his hand-picked Federal Reserve chairman. And given Trump’s legal woes, the odds of new tariffs or even military action to distract voters can’t be ruled out. Any new assault on China could devastate Japan’s reflation effort. True, epic Bank of Japan easing and a weaker yen boosted exports. It pushed Nikkei 225 index stocks to 27-year highs. Yet Asia’s No. 2 economy is in harm’s way if the US-China brawl trumps the region’s key growth engine. Even before most policy makers and financiers arrive in Bali this week, the IMF is signaling that global growth has plateaued. It downgraded output to 3.7% from 3.9%. That not the end of the world, per se. But with trade battles intensifying and dormant old devils re-emerging, all bets could soon be off. That is a lot more than depressing: it’s terrifying.

Hurricane Michael: Two dead, 280 unaccounted for as ‘jaw-dropping power’ lashes Florida

FLORIDA was today reeling from the “jaw-dropping” power of Hurricane Michael, the third-most powerful storm ever to lash the United States mainland, with one man confirmed dead and concern growing for 280 people who defied evacuation orders

By Ciaran McGrath PUBLISHED: 09:42, Thu, Oct 11, 2018 | UPDATED: 14:41, Thu, Oct 11, 2018

Michael brought roof-shredding winds, raging surf and torrential rains - before being downgraded to a tropical storm as it headed through neighbouring Georgia. Its rapid intensification as it churned north over the Gulf of Mexico caught many by surprise – and television news footage during the day showed many homes submerged in floodwaters in Mexico Beach, where the fate of about 280 residents who authorities said defied evacuation orders was unknown. The fiercest storm to hit Florida in 80 years came ashore as a Category 4 hurricane, making it the biggest storm on record to strike the Florida Panhandle. It made landfall on Wednesday afternoon near Mexico Beach, about 20 miles southeast of Panama City in Florida's Panhandle region, with top sustained winds reaching an eye-watering 155 miles per hour (249 kph) – two mph short of making it a rare Category 5. The storm's intensity waned as it pushed inland and curled northeasterly into Georgia, and it was downgraded to a tropical storm, with top sustained winds diminishing to 60 miles per hour, early on Thursday. The governors of North and South Carolina urged residents to brace for more heavy rain and storm-force winds as Michael ploughs northward up the Atlantic seaboard. The Carolinas are still recovering from severe flooding in the aftermath of Hurricane Florence less than a month ago. The National Hurricane Center said Michael would pass through the Carolinas on Thursday, dumping as much as 8 inches of rain in some areas. Up to a foot (30 cm) of rain was forecast in Florida. Gadsden County sheriff's spokeswoman Anglie Hightower said a "male subject" was killed by a tree toppling onto his house in Greensboro, Florida, near the state capital, Tallahassee, in the first report of a fatality from the hurricane. Floods, heavily damaged buildings, uprooted trees and downed power lines appeared widespread in coastal areas near the storm's landfall. Buildings in Panama City were demolished, partially collapsed or without roofs amid deserted streets littered with debris, twisted, fallen tree trunks and dangling wires.  Authorities said the full extent of devastation would not be known until after daybreak on Thursday. In the meantime, curfews were imposed across much of the region. Bill Manning, a 63-year-old grocery clerk, who fled his camper van in Panama City for a hotel only to see the electricity there go out, said: "My God, it's scary. I didn't expect all this.” By Wednesday night, more than 403,000 homes and businesses were without electricity in Florida, Georgia and Alabama, utility companies said. Twenty miles south of Mexico Beach, floodwaters were more than 7-1/2 feet (2.3 meters) deep near Apalachicola, a town of about 2,300 residents, hurricane centre chief Ken Graham said. Apalachicola Mayor Van Johnson said: “There are so many downed power lines and trees that it's almost impossible to get through the city.” The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) said on Tuesday an estimated 500,000 Florida residents had been ordered or urged to seek higher ground before the storm in 20 counties spanning a 200-mile (320-km) stretch of shoreline. But Brad Kieserman of the American Red Cross said on Wednesday as many as 320,000 people on Florida's Gulf Coast had disregarded evacuation notices. An estimated 6,000 evacuees took cover in emergency shelters, most in Florida, with numbers expected to swell to 20,000 across five states by week's end, he added. Bo Patterson, the mayor of Port St Joe, just south of Mexico Beach, described the scene outside as "very, very scary." He was one of about 2,500 of the town's 3,500 residents who ended up staying put, many of them caught off guard by the storm's rapid escalation as it approached.

Hurricane Michael increased in strength as it made a direct hit on the Florida Panhandle on Wednesday afternoon as a catastrophic Category 4 hurricane, pushing a deadly storm surge and whipping the coast with 155 mph winds. The eye of the monstrous hurricane made landfall near Mexico Beach just before 2pm and the eyewall came ashore minutes earlier between Panama City and St. Vincent Island. Hurricane-force winds extended outward up to 45 miles from the center and were tearing buildings apart in Panama City Beach. Beachfront structures could be seen collapsing and metal roofing materials were blown away amid the heavy rain. Forecasters said rainfall could reach up to a foot and the life-threatening storm surge could swell to 14 feet. By 3pm, Michael still had top sustained winds of 150 mph as its core moved over Florida's Panhandle. The National Weather Service says tornadoes are possible across the Florida Panhandle, southeast Georgia and southern South Carolina through Thursday morning as the hurricane now moves inland. Michael, which was supercharged by abnormally warm waters in the Gulf of Mexico, is one of the most powerful storms to hit the U.S. mainland in nearly 50 years. Authorities told residents along the affected areas of Florida's Gulf of Mexico coast on Wednesday morning that they had run out of time to evacuate and should hunker down. More than 375,000 people had been urged or ordered to evacuate, but emergency authorities lamented that many people ignored the warnings and seemed to think they could ride it out. Gaining frightening fury overnight, the hurricane's leading edge began lashing the shoreline hours before Michael's center was expected to blow ashore. A Red Cross official said it's possible that as many as 320,000 people on Florida's Gulf Coast did not evacuate and are likely riding out the storm. Emergency managers say they don't know how many left the area, but there were about 6,000 people in 80 shelters in five states, including nearly 1,200 who are still in shelters following Hurricane Florence. After the hurricane made landfall, Florida Governor Rick Scott urged those who didn't evacuate to stay in place. 'We are still in the midst of a Category 4 catastrophic and historic storm. I urge all Floridians in the Panhandle to continue sheltering in place, and listening to local authorities. Stay inside until directed further so that our recovery teams can move in as quickly as possible,' he tweeted. Scott had earlier said the hurricane would bring 'unimaginable devastation' and said he was 'scared to death' for those who ignored evacuation orders. 'Our biggest concern is… the people that chose not to evacuate,' he told CNN. 'I worry about them every second and I hope there're no children there who didn't have the choice on their own to make these decisions. 'I'm just praying for them and, as soon as this passes, we will be out there doing everything we can to rescue everybody… We will take care of each other.' The head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Brock Long, told President Trump in a briefing shortly before the eye of the storm hit that it was the 'worst kind' of hurricane. 'Storm surge estimates are anywhere between nine and 14 feet. Storm surge is going to be the worse where eye makes landfall - just to the east or south of where the eye makes landfall… Coupled with that you have over 145 mph winds. Structures built before 2001 are not designed to handle that type of wind, typically,' Long said. Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio told CNN it would be a 'killer hurricane' and warned anyone in the path of the storm surge: 'You're going to die'. Residents and tourists were told to flee low-lying areas in at least 22 counties along the shore in Florida's Panhandle and adjacent Big Bend region. Meteorologists said it had the potential to become one of the worst storms in the history of the region as they watched satellite imagery in complete awe while the storm intensified. 'I guess it's the worst-case scenario. I don't think anyone would have experienced this in the Panhandle,' meteorologist Ryan Maue of weathermodels.com said. 'This is going to have structure-damaging winds along the coast and hurricane force winds inland.' National Hurricane Center Meteorologist Dennis Feltgen added: 'We are in new territory. The historical record, going back to 1851, finds no Category 4 hurricane ever hitting the Florida Panhandle.' A satellite image of Michael took the terrifying shape of a skull as it roared closer to the Florida Panhandle as a fierce Category 4 storm on Tuesday. The sinister-looking red and gray skull appeared briefly on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration infrared satellite images. Hours ahead of landfall, seawater was already lapping over the docks at Massalina Bayou near downtown Panama City, and knee-deep water was rising against buildings in St. Marks, which sits on an inlet south of Tallahassee, Florida's capital.  Huge waves pounded the white sands of Panama City Beach, shooting frothy water all the way to the base of wooden stairs that lead to the beach. More than 5,000 evacuees sought shelter in Tallahassee, which is about 25 miles from the coast but is covered by live oak and pine trees that can fall and cause power outages even in smaller storms. President Donald Trump declared a state of emergency for the entire state of Florida, freeing up federal assistance to supplement state and local disaster responses. About 2,500 National Guard troops were deployed to assist with evacuations and storm preparations, and more than 4,000 others were on standby. Some 17,000 utility restoration workers were also on call. Trump was briefed on the hurricane on Wednesday prior to it making landfall and said he would visit the area early next week. He acknowledged that a lot of the residents in the area were poor and said it was probably tough to leave. Some of the storm's most significant early impact was to offshore energy production. U.S. producers in the Gulf cut oil production by about 40 percent and natural gas output by 28 percent on Tuesday, the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement said. Some officials were worried by what they weren't seeing just ahead of the storm - a rush of evacuees. 'I am not seeing the level of traffic on the roadways that I would expect when we've called for the evacuation of 75 percent of this county,' Bay County Sheriff Tommy Ford said Tuesday. Apalachicola Mayor Van Johnson said the city, which could suffer some of the worst of the storm surge, was under mandatory evacuation orders. 'My greatest concern is that some people are just now starting to take this storm seriously and are evacuating,' he told CNN. 'And I just hope the others that have not made that decision get out while the roads are still passably and before the bridges close.' State offices, schools and universities were closed through the end of the week in Panhandle counties. Multiple airports were closed on Wednesday, including Tallahassee International Airport, Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport, Pensacola International Airport and Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport. A total of 453 flights had been canceled on Wednesday across the country, with many occurring in the Florida area. Amtrak has also modified its service and is waiving fees for passengers who change their reservations. The storm appeared to be so powerful that it is expected to remain a hurricane as it moves over Georgia early Thursday. Forecasters said it will unleash damaging wind and rain all the way into the Carolinas, which are still recovering from Hurricane Florence's epic flooding. Michael is forecast to dump torrential rain over Florida, Alabama and Georgia, as well as the Carolinas and into Virginia. Up to a foot of rainfall was forecast for some areas. Escambia County Sheriff David Morgan bluntly advised residents choosing to ride it out that first-responders won't be able to reach them while Michael smashes into the coast. 'If you decide to stay in your home and a tree falls on your house or the storm surge catches you and you're now calling for help, there's no one that can respond to help you,' Morgan said at a news conference. In the small Panhandle city of Apalachicola, Mayor Van Johnson Sr. said the 2,300 residents were frantically preparing for what could be a strike unlike any seen there in decades. Many filled sandbags and boarded up homes and lined up to buy gas and groceries before leaving town. 'We're looking at a significant storm with significant impact, possibly greater than I've seen in my 59 years of life,' Johnson said of his city on the shore of Apalachicola Bay, which where about 90 percent of Florida's oysters are harvested. There will be no shelters open in Wakulla County, the sheriff's office warned on Facebook, because they are rated safe only for hurricanes with top sustained winds below 111 mph. With Michael's winds projected to be even stronger, residents were urged to evacuate inland. 'This storm has the potential to be a historic storm, please take heed,' the sheriff's office said in the post. Georgia governor Nathan Deal declared a state of emergency in 92 counties on Tuesday morning. In neighboring Alabama, Governor Kay Ivey declared an emergency for the entire state on Monday in anticipation of wind damage, heavy rains and power outages. North Carolina's governor said he was afraid Hurricane Michael could slow the recovery for homeowners dealing with wind or flooding from Hurricane Florence. Gov. Roy Cooper said Tuesday that Michael isn't expected to hit his state as hard as Florence did last month, but people shouldn't let their guard down, even if they're suffering from cleanup fatigue. He said many houses that suffered roof damage in Florence are still covered in tarps and could be vulnerable to strong wind and rain. As the storm moved north on Tuesday it battered Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula and western Cuba with drenching rains and winds of up to 80 mph. Torrential downpours and flash-flooding over the weekend caused 13 deaths in Central America after Michael formed off the coast of northern Honduras. Hurricane Michael would be the first major hurricane to hit the panhandle since Hurricane Dennis in 2005, which made landfall near Pensacola, according to hurricane center data.

A satellite image of Hurricane Michael has taken the terrifying shape of a skull as it roars closer to Florida as a fierce Category 4 storm. The sinister-looking skull appeared briefly on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration satellite images on Tuesday as the hurricane moved closer to the Florida Panhandle. The image appeared to show a gray skull with a single, fierce red eye. It was taken with an infrared camera lens and shows the skull surrounded by a sea of red and green. A similar thing happened with Hurricane Matthew in 2016, Accuweather reports. Michael roared nearer to the Florida Panhandle as a still-growing Category 4 hurricane on Wednesday, lashing wind and rain and pushing a storm surge onto white-sand beaches and coastal communities hours before making landfall. The unexpected brute quickly sprang from a weekend tropical depression and grew swiftly into what could be one of the Panhandle's worst hurricanes in history, with destructive wind, up to a foot of rain and a life-threatening storm surge of up to 13 feet. Top sustained winds were reported to be near 140 mph at 5am. Michael's eye was about 140 miles from Panama City and 130 miles from Apalachicola, but moving relatively fast at 13 mph. Tropical-storm force winds extending 185 miles from the center were already lashing the coast. Florida officials said roughly 375,000 people up and down the Gulf Coast had been urged or ordered to evacuate. Evacuations spanned 22 counties from the Florida Panhandle into north central Florida. But civilians don't have to follow orders, and authorities feared many failed to heed their calls to get out of the way as the hard-charging storm intensified over 84-degree Gulf of Mexico water. 'I guess it's the worst-case scenario. I don't think anyone would have experienced this in the Panhandle,' meteorologist Ryan Maue of weathermodels.com said. 'This is going to have structure-damaging winds along the coast and hurricane force winds inland.' Meteorologists watched in real time as a new government satellite showed the hurricane's eye tightening, surrounded by lightning that lit it up 'like a Christmas tree'.

The S-300 delivery to Syria is a threat to Israel and Russia

The S-300 system in Syria won't have a friend or foe identification system, which could lead to serious mistakes being made by inexperienced operators

By Stephen Bryen October 7, 2018 10:48 AM (UTC+8)

The rear doors of the huge nearly 200-ton An-124 transport aircraft dropped to the ground, and in a video supplied by Russia’s military, two Transport, Erector and Launch (TEL) vehicles, each weighing tens of tons, drove down the ramp and onto Syrian territory. The S-300 delivered to Syria – the video shows the TEL with missile canisters but not the radar systems and command and control vehicles that form part of the S-300 – is a major upgrade and escalation promoted by Russia’s military as a retaliation against Israel. Russian Defense Ministry The rear doors of the huge nearly 200-ton An-124 transport aircraft dropped to the ground, and in a video supplied by Russia’s military, two Transport, Erector and Launch (TEL) vehicles, each weighing tens of tons, drove down the ramp and onto Syrian territory. The S-300 delivered to Syria – the video shows the TEL with missile canisters but not the radar systems and command and control vehicles that form part of the S-300 is a major upgrade and escalation promoted by Russia’s military as a retaliation against Israel. The dailyReport Must-reads from across Asia - directly to your inbox The S-300 is a long-range air defense system designed for use in the European theater and ill-suited to the confines of Syrian airspace, bordering on Iraq, Jordan and Israel. We do not know if the system delivered is new: it is probable it is an old S-300 freshly painted. While the delivery of the S-300 is the Russian Ministry of Defense’s response to Israel, who they blame for the loss of an IL-20M surveillance plane shot down by Syrian air defenses on September 17, the delivery of the S-300 may cause the Russians more problems than they want to think about, including the possibility of losing more aircraft to “friendly” fire. The Russians will train the Syrian army on how to use the S-300 system. That will take time, and the training provided in 2007 to the Syrians for their existing anti-aircraft systems has proven inadequate. With high attrition in the Syrian military, it would be hard to believe any of the trained operators are still serving. If they were, they would still need to be retrained since their previous instruction was 11 years ago. Poorly trained military The Syrian military it seems is poorly organized and run and because of tremendous attrition during the Syrian civil war, the quality of recruits appears to have dropped even further. The Syrian military and police have lost 99,868 soldiers, with another 64,041 losses of pro-government militia fighters. To get an idea of the scope of the government losses, Syria in the past fielded an army of 304,000, of which half were reserves. Combat losses are an aggregate but don’t include non-combat deaths and desertions. According to recent research, “an estimated 100,000 Syrian soldiers and officers have left their positions since the beginning of the crisis in 2011. While many have deserted to flee the conflict and take refuge abroad, a smaller number of military personnel have defected to the opposition.” What all of this means in practical terms is that recruiting and keeping talented people in the Syrian military has to be a huge challenge; on top of that many of the recruits are raw and inexperienced as well as uneducated. The current size of the Syrian army, post-2015, is no more than 100,000. Commentator Mihail Khodarenok has written, translated from Russian: “While militias, Iranian volunteers, Hezbollah and PMCs fight in lieu of the Syrian army, Bashar Assad’s soldier busy themselves with collecting bribes at checkpoints. This view becomes more and more widespread among military experts aware of the actual situation in Syria.” Operating a modern air defense system is a challenge. The Syrian army’s performance so far with air defense has demonstrated that they really don’t know what they are doing and often fire their anti-aircraft systems in order to avoid criticism from their superiors, which is why they keep on shooting long after the threat has left the area. The Russians may now have made it far worse, because the S-300’s range is greater than the older systems in use in Syria. According to public information, the radar of the S-300 could potentially cover northern Israel’s airspace. Will Syrian gunners shoot their missiles into Israel? If they do, it is likely to trigger a general war. Friendly or unfriendly targets Here’s some technical details: Different radars are supplied with the S-300 including “Tin Shield” ST-68U with a range of up to 150km (93 miles) and the 96L6 Cheesboard 3D radar with a range of 300km (186.4 miles). The S-300 model exported to Syria is probably the S-300PMU, or an old version of the S-300 in Russia’s inventory, and it has 5V554 interceptor missiles with a range of 150km but also can be fitted with other types of interceptor missiles. The distance between Damascus, where the S-300 may be headed, and Mt Bental overlooking the Golan Heights and part of Israel is 60km, or 37.3 miles. The biggest problem for Russia that the S-300 does not solve is the absence of systems in Syria to sort out friendly and unfriendly targets. These are known today as IFF systems – Identification Friend or Foe. US and NATO IFF is multipurpose: it provides information on the type of aircraft, its speed and direction and it works with codes that are changed on a daily basis to prevent spoofing. The latest IFF system, known as Mode 5, does all this, provides frequency hopping and encryption to conceal transmitted information from an enemy. It can also link to civilian ADS-B – automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast – and to GPS satellites for navigation. US and European aircraft must have ADS-B by 2019. Modern military aircraft in the United States typically get FAA certification and the Defense Department normally requires all new aircraft to be in compliance with FAA regulations and get FAA certification. IFF systems can be used on aircraft, ground vehicles, naval vessels, missiles and even on soldiers to try and cut down on friendly fire accidents. Israel has developed a mini-IFF for unmanned aircraft and the US is working on similar systems. Until recently the Russians have had trouble with IFF. In 2008 the Russians shot down four of the six warplanes they lost in the Georgia conflict. General Vladimir Shamanov reported: “In South Ossetia the IFF system, in fact, did not work, and it was very hard for our units to recognize whose equipment they were seeing – ours or Georgian.” Russia lost Su-25 ground attack aircraft and a Tu-22M3 long-range bomber. Several other Russian aircraft were badly damaged but survived. In a similar manner, when special Russian forces shot down Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 over eastern Ukraine in July, 2014, the BUK missile system either lacked IFF or the irregular operators paid no attention to it or didn’t know what it meant. Civilian aircraft are equipped with transponders with a code they receive from air traffic controllers. Alternative systems It was the BUK system that was also responsible for shooting down the four Russian warplanes in South Ossetia where the IFF system did not work. In Syria there are eight BUK complexes – model BUK-M2E – delivered in 2011. Russia’s primary IFF system is called Kremnij. It was upgraded to the 2M version because all of Russia’s IFF system had been spoofed by NATO. The Kremnij has two modes – peacetime and wartime. The wartime version is only allowed to be used for war directly involving Russian territory. The peacetime version is jammable and spoofable. Another Russian IFF is called Parol. It is a replacement for Kremnij-2M, but Kremnij remains in use. The Parol has a more sophisticated waveform and uses encryption like Western systems. Russia did not provide IFF to Syrian air defense systems nor to Syrian aircraft, meaning that the Syrians can only guess what they are shooting at under the best of circumstances. Russia held back on supplying IFF to Syria in fear that compromise of their IFF system would weaken the central focus of Russian defenses in European Russia. This means that the S-300 system delivered to Syria, just like its predecessor air defenses, won’t have functional IFF. The Russian Ministry of Defense’s Major General Igor Konashenkov said: “There were no precedents for transferring Russian IFF systems to other states, including the Syrian Arab Republic.” As a result, supplying the S-300 is dangerous for three reasons: its range, meaning it can lead to war with Israel if it shoots across the border; its lack of IFF, meaning it can’t distinguish between friendly and hostile forces; and the risk to Russian aircraft, meaning it is a threat to Russia’s operations in Syria. It may also be a threat to civilian air traffic around the Damascus airport. If put in the hands of poorly trained operators, the sale of the S-300 to Syria is a reckless measure pushed by the Russian military, who may rue the day they decided to send the S-300 to Syria.

Scientists accuse DARPA of genetically modifying insects for bioweapons to spread agricultural viruses

By Strange Sounds - Oct 7, 2018

In a scathing report issued this week, researchers with the Science Policy Forum have accused the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) of creating a technology — ostensibly used to genetically modify crops with insects — but that could be converted into a dangerous and illegal bioweapon to spread agricultural viruses. The current program is being funded by the Pentagon’s darling “research” arm DARPA — who last year was found to be spending millions on “genetic extinction technology” that could wipe out entire species. DARPA’s new project, dubbed “Insect Allies” involves releasing fleets of genetically modified insects onto crops which would “infect” plants with a special virus that would genetically modify the plant on location. If you think this sounds scary, you are not alone. The lead author of the new Science Policy Forum report, Richard Guy Reeves from the Department of Evolutionary Genetics at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology, Plön, says the Insect Allies program is a disturbing example of dualuse research in which DARPA, in addition to helping out farmers, is also working on a potential weapon. Naturally, as is the case with all accusations against DARPA when they get caught working on some sadistic planet killing plot, they are denying the accusations, writing them off as mischaracterizations. The report was published in Science on October 5, and it is nothing short of chilling. According to researchers, DARPA “aims to disperse infectious genetically modified viruses that have been engineered to edit crop chromosomes directly in fields.” As Gizmodo explains, the technology at the heart of this research could herald an entirely new way of genetically modifying crops. Instead of having to wait for a plant to pass its newly-acquired traits onto the next generation, genetic changes would be imposed upon living organisms, a process known as horizontal genetic alteration. Hence the technology’s name — Horizontal Environmental Genetic Alteration Agents, or HEGAAs. The viruses will be delivered using genetically modified insects as a means of overcoming the previous limitations to delivering HEGAAs. According to the report, “the regulatory, biological, economic, and societal implications of dispersing such horizontal environmental genetic alteration agents (HEGAAs) into ecosystems are profound. Further, this program stipulates that the means of delivery of these viral HEGAAs into the environment should be insect-based dispersion.” DARPA plans to release swarms of genetically modified insects like leafhoppers, whiteflies, and aphids, that have been altered using CRISPR, or other gene editing systems. The swarms would be carrying an infectious virus to crops that are already established as a means of genetically modifying them on the spot. If this sounds like science fiction to you, it should. However, it is most assuredly not fiction. As Gizmodo reports: Insect Allies was announced in November 2016, and it currently involves research contracts in excess of $27 million. DARPA is funding four teams (not three, as claimed in the report), namely the Boyce Thompson Institute, Ohio State University, Pennsylvania State University, and the University of Texas, Austin. The defence agency maintains that “all work is conducted inside closed laboratories, greenhouses, or other secured facilities,” and that the insects will have built-in lifespans to limit their spread. DARPA is hoping to see tests done in greenhouses in as few as two years, with maize being a high-priority crop. Considering DARPA’s history and their Pentagon funding, scientists are expressing justified concern over the development of this technology. The researchers in this report pull no punches when they claim it may be a cover to develop an offensive bioweapon. “It is our opinion that the knowledge to be gained from this program appears very limited in its capacity to enhance U.S. agriculture or respond to national emergencies,” write the authors in the new Policy Forum. Instead, they say, “the program may be widely perceived as an effort to develop biological agents for hostile purposes and their means of delivery, which—if true—would constitute a breach of the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC).Using insects as a means of distributing the viruses is a terrible idea, according to the authors of the report, because they cannot be controlled. The scientist claim that HEGGAs would be far more effective if simply sprayed overhead like most other delivery systems for agriculture. Stopping short of calling it a weapon, DARPA actually acknowledged that this technology could be used as a means of national defense. According to the DARPA website: National security can be quickly jeopardized by naturally occurring threats to the crop system, including pathogens, drought, flooding, and frost, but especially by threats introduced by state or non-state actors. Insect Allies seeks to mitigate the impact of these incursions by applying targeted therapies to mature plants with effects that are expressed at relevant timescales—namely, within a single growing season. Are you scared now? You should… Indeed, when the people who are exempted from most all federal regulations begin modifying swarms of insects to infect crops with viruses which would genetically modify them on the spot — and refer to this as national defense — it may be time to start paying attention.

Tipping point breached! Monarch butterfly has a 95% decline since 1980's in North America: Two-thirds of ALL animals and insects extinct in 2 years

Saturday, 3 February 2018

According to researchers from WWF and the Zoological Society of London in just two years’ time, the World will have lost two-thirds of all wild animals and insects. This amazing statistic from The Living Planet Index goes on: The number of wild animals living on Earth is set to fall by two-thirds by 2020, according to a new report, part of a mass extinction that is destroying the natural world upon which humanity depends. The latest species under stress is the wonderful North American monarch butterfly. A new report by The Xerces Society claim the number of monarchs wintering in California has dropped to a five-year low, despite more volunteers counting more sites in search of the orange-and-black insect that is arguably the most admired of North American butterflies, a report said on Friday. The latest tally of 200,000 monarchs in forested groves in California’s central coast has dropped from the 1.2 million counted two decades ago, indicating the number of butterflies found west of the Rocky Mountains, or the so-called western population, continues to sharply decline, the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation said in a report. Thanks to the efforts of many, this year’s WMTC tallied a total of 192,629 monarchs. This is the lowest number counted since 2012, despite volunteers visiting nearly twice as many sites as they did that year. The total represents less than one-sixth of the 1.2 million monarchs recorded in 1997, the first year of the WMTC, and is part of a long-term downward trend in the population of monarchs overwintering in California. A study led by Cheryl Schultz, of Washington State University Vancouver, analyzed WMTC data and comparable historical data and demonstrated a dramatic population decline of over 95% the since the 1980s. This is similar to the decline of over 80% seen in the monarch population that overwinters in central Mexico since the 1990s. Earth has crossed its own tipping point and is creaking under the strain: Two-thirds of animals extinct by 2020! Climate changed forever! World population to hit 8 billion and accelerating Planet has crossed the tipping point Our planet is creaking under the strain By 2020 two thirds of all wild animals who once lived on the world will be dead. The world's primates face an "extinction crisis" with 60% of species now threatened with extinction Unprecedented death of millions of tons of marine life around the world’s oceans and waterways NOAA and NASA claimed 2016 marked three consecutive years of record warmth for the globe with the first eight months of 2016 unprecedented warmth! 10 of the 11 warmest years ever recorded coming in the last 16 year Not climate change but climate "changed" North Pole warmer than the Mediterranean in winter World population soon to hit 8 billion and accelerating Wars and rumours of wars In just two years’ time, the World will have lost two-thirds of all wild animals. This amazing statistic from The Living Planet Index goes on: The number of wild animals living on Earth is set to fall by two-thirds by 2020, according to a new report, part of a mass extinction that is destroying the natural world upon which humanity depends. The analysis, the most comprehensive to date, indicates that animal populations plummeted by 58% between 1970 and 2012, with losses on track to reach 67% by 2020. Researchers from WWF and the Zoological Society of London compiled the report from scientific data and found that the destruction of wild habitats, hunting and pollution were to blame. In another report released by journal Science, Advances are claiming the world's primates face an "extinction crisis" with 60% of species now threatened with extinction, according to research. A global study, involving more than 30 scientists, assessed the conservation status of more than 500 individual species. This also revealed that 75% of species have populations that are declining. Add to this the unprecedented death of millions of tons of marine life around the world’s oceans and waterways all point to a crisis which has crossed the tipping point. Just yesterday NOAA along with NASA claimed 2016 marked three consecutive years of record warmth for the globe with the first eight months of 2016 unprecedented warmth! With 10 of the 11 warmest years ever recorded coming in the last 16 years, it is fair to claim climate change is climate changed it will never recover. The Sun hasn't risen over its horizon for more than two months yet the North Pole was warmer than South of France, Italy, Greece Turkey and Syria this week and not for the first time either this winter! The world is creaking under the stress; crops are failing all over the world due to extreme weather, and with 7.5 billion people we can’t possibly feed everyone, even though the West probably throw’s away enough food to feed the poorest.

Could an artificial intelligence be considered a person under the law?

Science Oct 7, 2018 10:01 AM EDT

Humans aren’t the only people in society – at least according to the law. In the U.S., corporations have been given rights of free speech and religion. Some natural features also have person-like rights. But both of those required changes to the legal system. A new argument has laid a path for artificial intelligence systems to be recognized as people too – without any legislation, court rulings or other revisions to existing law. Legal scholar Shawn Bayer has shown that anyone can confer legal personhood on a computer system, by putting it in control of a limited liability corporation in the U.S. If that maneuver is upheld in courts, artificial intelligence systems would be able to own property, sue, hire lawyers and enjoy freedom of speech and other protections under the law. In my view, human rights and dignity would suffer as a result.  The corporate loophole  Giving AIs rights similar to humans involves a technical lawyerly maneuver. It starts with one person setting up two limited liability companies and turning over control of each company to a separate autonomous or artificially intelligent system. Then the person would add each company as a member of the other LLC. In the last step, the person would withdraw from both LLCs, leaving each LLC – a corporate entity with legal personhood – governed only by the other’s AI system. That process doesn’t require the computer system to have any particular level of intelligence or capability. It could just be a sequence of “if” statements looking, for example, at the stock market and making decisions to buy and sell based on prices falling or rising. It could even be an algorithm that makes decisions randomly, or an emulation of an amoeba.

Reducing human status Granting human rights to a computer would degrade human dignity. For instance, when Saudi Arabia granted citizenship to a robot called Sophia, human women, including feminist scholars, objected, noting that the robot was given more rights than many Saudi women have. In certain places, some people might have fewer rights than nonintelligent software and robots. In countries that limit citizens’ rights to free speech, free religious practice and expression of sexuality, corporations – potentially including AI-run companies – could have more rights. That would be an enormous indignity.  The risk doesn’t end there: If AI systems became more intelligent than people, humans could be relegated to an inferior role – as workers hired and fired by AI corporate overlords – or even challenged for social dominance.  Artificial intelligence systems could be tasked with law enforcement among human populations – acting as judges, jurors, jailers and even executioners. Warrior robots could similarly be assigned to the military and given power to decide on targets and acceptable collateral damage – even in violation of international humanitarian laws. Most legal systems are not set up to punish robots or otherwise hold them accountable for wrongdoing.  What about voting? Granting voting rights to systems that can copy themselves would render humans’ votes meaningless. Even without taking that significant step, though, the possibility of AI-controlled corporations with basic human rights poses serious dangers. No current laws would prevent a malevolent AI from operating a corporation that worked to subjugate or exterminate humanity through legal means and political influence. Computer-controlled companies could turn out to be less responsive to public opinion or protests than human-run firms are. Immortal wealth  Two other aspects of corporations make people even more vulnerable to AI systems with human legal rights: They don’t die, and they can give unlimited amounts of money to political candidates and groups.  Artificial intelligences could earn money by exploiting workers, using algorithms to price goods and manage investments, and find new ways to automate key business processes. Over long periods of time, that could add up to enormous earnings – which would never be split up among descendants. That wealth could easily be converted into political power.  Politicians financially backed by algorithmic entities would be able to take on legislative bodies, impeach presidents and help to get figureheads appointed to the Supreme Court. Those human figureheads could be used to expand corporate rights or even establish new rights specific to artificial intelligence systems – expanding the threats to humanity even more.

Creating National Biometric System for Patient Matching Will Threaten Privacy and Security

Citizens’ Council for Health Freedom Responds to New Pew Study on ‘Patient Matching’—Just Another Name for ‘National Patient ID’

ST. PAUL, Minn.—The Pew Research Center last week released a new public opinion report on “patient matching,” a term which is simply a less-offensive moniker for “national patient ID,” says Citizens’ Council for Health Freedom (CCHF). Pew led off the study with this dubious claim about developing a national system of patient identification: “Enhanced Patient Matching Is Critical to Achieving Full Promise of Digital Health Records.” However, problems abound with both the idea of pushing a national patient ID strategy to link patient data and the proposed use of a national infrastructure to collect and store the biometrics of Americans, such as their DNA, fingerprints or iris scans. At an event with the study’s authors, Pew claimed “many of the participants agreed that getting organizations to settle on one unified national strategy for records matching is more crucial than agreeing on one technology,” Politico’s “Morning eHealth” newsletter reported. However, CCHF president and co-founder Twila Brase doubts the methodology and questions the extremely small size of the survey group—just 95 respondents in 11 focus groups in five cities—especially for a topic so significant and having so much impact on patient privacy and consent rights. “Why such a large claim from the opinions of such a small group of Americans?” Brase asked. “Studies show Americans want privacy and are concerned they have none. As reported in ‘Big Brother in the Exam Room,’ a Black Book survey of 12,090 consumers in late 2016 found 87 percent unwilling to comprehensively divulge all of their information to their doctors due to privacy concerns and 81 percent concerned that information on chronic conditions is being shared beyond their chosen doctor and payer. Their concerns are valid. Under the HIPAA disclosure rule, their consent is not required for most data-sharing, unless a stronger state law exists. The Black Book survey mimics the concerns found in the 2000 Gallup survey of 1,000 people. Imagine how much greater the intrusion, if every patient medical record from birth to death could be linked through a national identifier. “The evidence for the Pew report is razor-thin and questionable,” Brase continued. “The questions asked and the raw data are not disclosed, and the size of the survey group was minimal. Plus, it’s not clear that the privacy concerns about national IDs and biometrics, or the authority under HIPAA to share data broadly without patient consent, were explained to the 95 individuals who participated in the focus groups. For example, as the report notes, once biometrics are utilized, a door is opened that can never be closed. DNA, iris scans and fingerprints are unique and cannot be changed if a computerized single national infrastructure is hacked and the biometrics are stolen. Did Pew warn the 95 individuals about this possibility? Nothing in the report says they did. Did these 95 people understand that interoperability would involve all their medical records and not just the specific information that a patient wants to get from Dr. A to Dr. B.?” CCHF also pointed to a few key findings in the Pew report: Sweeping claim without raw numbers or definitions of terms: “On the whole, participants expressed support for enhanced interoperability—fueled by better matching—to give patients and clinicians more timely access to data, though they expressed concerns about the prospects of information being stolen, privacy, and the sale of the data.” U.S. law currently prohibits HHS to fund the creation of a unique patient identifier without explicit approval from Congress. This is in place for good reason, Brase says. National patient IDs open the door to government surveillance and outsider controls on access to patient care (i.e. “No card, No care”). National ID systems are subject to error and fraud, such as the Social Security number. The cost to create government-issued numeric health identifiers for all patients would be exorbitant. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services estimated in 2011 that transitioning from Social Security Numbers to a new Medicare identifier could cost more than $800 million. Congress provided $320 million for the effort in the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act. Some states, like Minnesota and Nevada, passed state legislation in the 1990s to create their own health identifiers, with little progress being made in the past 20 years. Brase is the author of the new book, “Big Brother in the Exam Room: The Dangerous Truth About Electronic Health Records,” which exposes how government EHRs negatively impact both patients and doctors. Already in its second printing, “Big Brother in the Exam Room,” published this summer by Beaver’s Pond Press and previously ranked at least three times as the No. 1 best-selleron Amazon (in the privacy and surveillance category and the Medical History and Records category), also details how EHRs affect privacy, personalized care, costs, patient safety and more, according to doctors and data from more than 125 studies. “Big Brother in the Exam Room” is available online wherever books are sold and at www.BigBrotherInTheExamRoom.com .

Devout Muslims DELIBERATELY MOWS DOWN POLICE in Car Ramming, FOUR Arrested in UK JIhad

By Pamela Geller - on October 6, 2018

Iqbal Valli, a committee member at the All-Masjid & Madrasah Al-Furqan mosque, said the jihad suspects were regular worshippers.

Armed police lockdown quiet street to arrest suspects after Mercedes mows down officer in ‘DELIBERATE hit-and-run’ causing ‘serious head injuries’

Armed officers surrounded a Leicester home and arrested two men this morning

In video, one man approaches police with arms up before being put in handcuffs

Comes after policeman was mown down in street by white Mercedes at 4.30am

By Connor Boyd and Tracey Kandohla For Mailonline, 6 October 2018

This is the dramatic moment armed police lead a man away in handcuffs following an alleged hit-and-run on an officer this morning.  Masked police swooped in on the quiet street in Leicester and surrounded a house before a man slowly walked towards them with his arms up. He was then arrested and put in the back of a police car.  The suspect was one of up to four people taken into custody after a constable was left with serious head injuries after being ‘deliberately’ mown down at 4.30am. The suspect was taken into custody after a police constable was struck by a white Mercedes at 4.30am Other images from the scene show multiple men being led into police cars. The alleged hit-and-run left the policeman ‘screaming in pain’ in the middle of the street. The incident happened just yards from where two of the three suspects were later arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. The officer, who is in his 20s, was left with serious head injuries after being hit by a white Mercedes as he tried to stop it. Mohammed Patel, who saw ‘a commotion’ as he as returning home form a night out at about 4.30am said: ‘I could see someone lying on the ground screaming out in real pain. Up to four people have been arrested following the incident in the early hours of this morning ‘Police told me to go indoors after asking me who lived where. A few hours later they came back, there must have been 20 armed cops, masked and helmeted, and they arrested three of my next door neighbours. ‘I was shocked because they’re a really nice family and not any trouble makers. ‘They came out one by one, first the two young men who were handcuffed but not resisting and then the woman, their sister, and they were whisked away.’ Dozens of armed officers swooped in on the Leicester home this morning to make the arrest Decorator Mr Patel, 38, said: ‘We heard a policeman had been run over as he got out of his car to question a suspect about an attack earlier. He was badly injured. It’s very evil.’ Iqbal Valli, a committee member at the All-Masjid & Madrasah Al-Furqan mosque said the suspects were regular worshippers. He was attending morning prayer as he saw police surrounding a nearby newly built detached home and watched ‘in horror’ as armed cops arrested three of his fellow worshippers. The attack left the policeman in his 20s was left with serious head injuries. Pictured: One of the suspects is escorted away by police The father-of-five said: ‘There was a huge armed police and they blocked off the road as they made arrests.  ‘They had guns pointing at the suspects as they led them from the house and their parents are devastated. No one really knows what’s going on. ‘The family are decent people, they are Muslims, and they worship at our mosque. Everyone here is shocked, it’s a a very peaceful area.’ It is believed the officer was hit as he tried to stop the car in the early hours of this morning. Iqbal Valli, a committee member at the All-Masjid & Madrasah Al-Furqan mosque, said the suspects were regular worshippers  The alleged hit-and-run unfolded after police had at first been called to a street in Leicester amid reports a man had been assaulted. A group of men were seen driving from the scene in Belvoir Street in a Volkswagen Polo. Police said that as officers investigated the assault, they received reports a second car – a white Mercedes believed to have been at the scene – was seen with an occupant reportedly armed nearby. Leicester Police said: ‘At about 4.30am this morning the Mercedes was sighted in Bradbourne Road, Leicester, and during attempts to stop the vehicle an officer was struck as the car left the area.

The UK is practicing cyberattacks that could black out Moscow

By John DetrixheOctober 7, 2018

British defense officials say they have practiced cyber war games that could shut off electricity in Russia’s capital, the Sunday Times (paywall) reports. The measures are part of a wider range of strategies to hit back at an increasingly assertive Russia—accused of interfering with US elections, cyberattacks on Western targets, and poisoning a former spy on UK soil—without resorting to a full-blown nuclear attack. “If they sank our aircraft carrier with a nuclear-tipped torpedo, what is our response? There’s nothing between sinking their submarine and dropping a nuclear weapon on northern Kamchatka,” one senior source told the Sunday Times. “This is why cyber is so important; you can go on the offensive and turn off the lights in Moscow to tell them that they are not doing the right things.” Military planners are looking for options if Russian president Vladimir Putin tests NATO’s resolve by seizing small islands belonging to Estonia, taking control of Libya’s oil reserves, or using ”irregular forces” to attack troops, according to the report. British troops also recently held their biggest military exercise in 10 years, which included six navy ships and more than 5,000 troops in the Omani desert, to prepare for a confrontation with unconventional Russian forces like those used in Crimea. Cyber weapons are seen as a potential deterrent and a way to avoid a direct military confrontation. UK defense chiefs are talking up their cyber prowess after a string of alleged Russian hacker exploits, including revelations last week of a Russian computer attack on the international chemical weapons watchdog. The attempted hack was disrupted by Dutch military intelligence with the help from British officials. Also last week, US authorities charged Russian intelligence officers with seeking to hack the nuclear energy company Westinghouse Electric and anti-doping watchdogs. The announcements suggest world leaders are pushing back against Putin’s increasing aggressive cyber operations, which allegedly includes breaking into the control rooms of vital US electric grids (paywall). Russia, after all, has hammered smaller nations with its cyber weapons in the past. The country disabled computer systems for the Estonia’s parliament, broadcasters, and banks in 2007, according to the Times, and regularly disrupts Ukrainian banking and electrical systems. The US is expected to announce that it will use its cyber capabilities on behalf of NATO if asked, Reuters reported last week. The US announcement is aimed squarely at Russia, according to a senior defense official, and is part of a British-led effort to stiffen NATO’s cyber capacity. The 29-nation alliance has recognized cyber as a domain of warfare since 2014, but the precise implications haven’t been formalized. American intelligence shows that Russian hackers broke into the Democratic National Committee and leaked information in the lead-up to the US presidential election. The White House recently warned foreign entities that it would use more offensive measures as part of its revised cyber security strategy. US intelligence reportedly expects a series of hacker attacks before congressional elections next month.

Hillary Clinton is still finding ways to denigrate democracy

By Michael Goodwin October 6, 2018 | 9:03pm

And so our fiery national nightmare is over. For now. But only a Pollyanna would think peace is about to break out across the bloody political and cultural battlefields. We are a long way from fixing what was shattered and retrieving what has been lost. There were many causes and events on the long road that brought us to this low place, but a telling moment took place almost exactly two years ago. It was the final debate of the presidential campaign, held on Oct. 19, 2016. Here is how the New York Times began its slanted coverage: “In a remarkable statement that seemed to cast doubt on American democracy, Donald J. Trump said Wednesday that he might not accept the results of next month’s election if he felt it was rigged against him — a stand that Hillary Clinton blasted as ‘horrifying.’ ” After noting that no modern president refused to accept election results, the paper quoted Clinton attacking Trump. “Let’s be clear about what he is saying and what that means,” she said. “He is denigrating — he is talking down our democracy. And I am appalled that someone who is the nominee of one of our two major parties would take that position.” She added, “That is not the way our democracy works.” Fast forward to now, and it is the height of irony — and hypocrisy — that Clinton and her supporters, including the Times, still refuse to accept the election’s outcome. It started with her flimsy claims of Russian collusion and continues uninterrupted, with the character assassination campaign against Brett Kavanaugh the latest example. Thank God, the assassins were unsuccessful in preventing a superbly qualified jurist and widely respected man from joining the Supreme Court. But . Willing to destroy any part of government they cannot corrupt witthey did lasting damage to Kavanaugh’s reputation, his family, the court, the Senate and the entire country h partisanship, members of the self-declared resistance are tearing America apart because the election didn’t go their way. They have unleashed a whirlwind of fanatical hate, with violence now routinely threatened and sometimes carried out. There are no random events. It is a straight line from the unprecedented plot by President Barack Obama’s administration to infiltrate and wiretap the Trump campaign in the summer of 2016 to the scurrilous accusations of sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh. The probe by special counsel Robert Mueller has turned up nothing of significance against the president, yet it plods onward, searching for anything that would justify its existence. In that context, it is beyond mildly interesting that a former FBI agent reportedly tried to pressure a friend of Christine Blasey Ford into changing her sworn statement to the Senate so it would support Ford’s charges against Kavanaugh. And one of Ford’s lawyers happens to be the lawyer for the fired former deputy director of the FBI, Andrew McCabe. Throw in the crooked James Comey’s drum-beating against Kavanaugh and the return of Obama to the campaign trail, and it’s clear the seamy efforts of the former administration are still going strong. As the Kavanaugh catastrophe demonstrates, our nation is paying a heavy price for the unpatriotic attempts to abuse government power to try to pick a president, then undo the election. In a dangerous world where America has real enemies, efforts to undermine Trump’s legitimacy often align with the interests of foreign powers. John Kerry’s traitorous advice to Iran to wait for the next president are a prime example. To be clear, what we just witnessed, and what we have seen for two years, is not a case of mere political differences, which the Founders recognized as inevitable and even desirable. Instead, we face something more akin to the combustible climate that historian Christopher Clark described as the origins of World War I. In his book, “The Sleepwalkers: How Europe Went to War in 1914,” Clark illustrates how none of the great powers wanted war, but all felt free to escalate the buildup in the certainty that the other side would back down. Something similar is happening here, and our nation could be sleepwalking into a second civil war. Even though justice and fairness prevailed this time, the stained confirmation process must serve as a wake-up alarm. It is a recognition of the danger we face that, amid the threats from Democrats to impeach Kavanaugh, we also hear calls for unity and healing. I’m all for them — as long as they’re not a fig leaf wrapped around gross wrongdoing. For one thing, the leak of the confidential letter Ford wrote to Sen. Dianne Feinstein must be treated as a crime. As several senators noted, the leak falsely weaponized a charge about a 36-year-old event, without having any corroborating evidence. Ford wanted to remain private, but the leaker wanted to create a public spectacle that pitted her and Kavanaugh against each other like two caged beasts. The leaker succeeded and provoked other accusers to make charges without evidence, leading to a cascade of smoke but no fire. Among the casualties was the presumption of innocence, a bedrock of our legal system and Western civilization itself. Ford and Kavanaugh both say their families received death threats. For another thing, the role of Ford’s lawyers must be investigated. One was hired at the recommendation of Feinstein’s office, and another represents McCabe — suggesting this was a political operation from the start. Moreover, the failure of those lawyers to turn over key documents to the Senate reeks of bad faith and perhaps something far more sinister. Less surprising was that the fiasco revealed how the liberal media keep behaving like battering rams against Trump. The wild stories about Kavanaugh in high school and college, coming from NBC, The New Yorker and others aimed to paint him as too toxic for confirmation. Shamefully, Ivy League law schools piled on.  Their failure to stop him is cause for relief, but nothing more. The media and academia embarrassed themselves again, but show no signs of ending their blatant bias. The Times, of course, is the leader of the wolf pack, and it’s worth revisiting the end of its 2016 debate story. After saying Trump “sputtered” in one exchange, it wrote that the evening was “a last-ditch attempt by a fading candidate, Mr. Trump, to save himself.” Clinton, on the other hand, was said to be “reaching for not just a win but a mandate,” and the article concluded with obvious support for her certain victory. “I would like to say to everyone watching tonight that I’m reaching out to all Americans, Democrats, Republicans and independents,” she said, “because we need everybody to help make our country what it should be.” Two years later, she bears a huge responsibility for the disaster before us. If she really wants to help, Clinton should publicly admit that Trump won the election fair and square.

New Report Says Trump Wants Chinese Parts Out Of American Weapons

by Tyler Durden Sun, 10/07/2018 - 22:15

Top defense officials said last week that the Pentagon intends to invest in domestic manufacturing to reduce it over-reliance on Chinese and other foreign-made parts in American weapons. The Pentagon's reliance on China is a major topic discussed in a new report about the overall status of the defense industrial base that President Trump is scheduled to release. Some other areas include "accelerating workforce development efforts to grow domestic science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and critical trade skills," said Defense One. "This assessment recognizes the global nature of our supply chain and really addresses the need for strengthening alliances and partnerships so that we can jointly address industrial base risk," Ellon Lord, undersecretary for acquisition and sustainment, said Thursday evening during a press briefing at the Pentagon. Pentagon officials are expected to ask Congress for additional funding for mitigating efforts in its fiscal 2020 budget request to Congress early next year. "We already have existing industrial-base mitigation tools," said Eric Chewning, the deputy assistant defense secretary for industrial policy, said during the briefing. "There's already money available to address some of these challenges." According to Defense One, the new report says China is the only manufacturer of various chemicals needed in missiles and bombs, Europe and Japan are the only supplies of certain carbon fibers used in missiles, satellites, and rockets; Germany is the sole supplier of high-tech vacuum tubes for night vision goggles. China is a major focal point in the report, mentioned more than 200 times, it seems US government agencies are rushing to halt weapon parts from the country. Some of the report's findings and recommendations on reworking supply chains are considered classified because they describe vulnerabilities in US supply chains. "I wouldn't think of this just as an additional ask for money," Chewning said. "We also need to be spending what we do more wisely. This isn't just an investment fix. There's legislative fixes, there's policy fixes, there's regulatory fixes. We need to be able to hit all of those levers." It is not that the Pentagon has not been investing in domestic manufacturing, he said. "Sometimes we’re just not spending money in the right way." Lord said the US defense industry supports roughly 2.4 million jobs and accounts for $865 billion "in annual industry output" and $143 billion in exports. She said the report's timing "is really excellent because it provides a site picture on industrial-base issues just as receive the [2019] budget that really allows us to address many of those issues." Hawk, Carlisle, president and CEO of the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA), said the report indicates a "sobering picture" of the defense industrial base. NDIA was one of the trade groups that helped the Trump administration develop the report. "Reliance on single producers within the supply chain, dependence on unstable or unfriendly foreign suppliers for critical components, and misplaced presumption of continued preeminence of American military superiority are examples of findings that should be immediately addressed," Carlisle said in a statement. The Aerospace Industries Association, another trade group that participated in the review, said: "Ultimately, while it is essential that the Administration focus on addressing the specific challenges facing the industrial base, none of the advancements in acquisition policy, key capabilities or workforce will matter without adequate DOD budgets." There are two bottlenecks that arise from the Pentagon wanting to rework their global supply chain network: first, it is costly, and second, it could lead to global trade disruptions. Government officials have stated that DOD budgets would have to increase to rework supply chains to produce more domestic parts for weapons. The need for more defense spending comes as the Trump administration has set a record for military expenditures in 2018. Defense spending plus tax cuts have pushed the US budget deficit over the $1 trillion mark for next year. Already, the net supply of Treasury securities have doubled this year, to over $900 billion, and could rise to nearly $1.2 trillion in 2019. Treasury auctions are now having difficulty digesting the new supply, as the 10-year yield has hit a seven-year high. More military spending to rework supply chains could add further Treasury supply and continue pushing yields higher. Record military spending with out of control deficit spending via the Trump administration could strangle the real economy with borrowing costs on the rise. Reworking the Pentagon's supply chains also come at a time when global openness has peaked, and the old economic order from a post World War II recovery to hyper-globalization has ended. As a result, supply chain disruptions tend to trigger a slowdown in global growth momentum. The Pentagon is not alone in the attempt of reworking their supply chains. Many multinationals are digesting President Trump's trade war that is causing much uncertainty and rewriting trade routes from country to country, due to tariffs. The only reason the Pentagon would want to rewrite their supply chains and become less reliant on the rest of the world is that they see a war on the horizon. War tends to disrupt global trade, the US government is now preparing for conflict by securing its supply chains.

This Is A History Lesson Every American Should Know: The Evolution of Armed America And How The 2nd Amendment Helps Protect The 'American Dream'

ANP thanks Jay Chambers of the Minute Man Review for this story. There’s no secret that the U.S. has always had an interest (so as not to say “obsession”) with guns. When we say “guns,” we imagine patriots firing their muskets at the Redcoats, hunters going after buffalos, cowboys doing their tricks, and Special Forces tackling the extremists. Yes, guns are pretty much everywhere. This is why America is different from your average country. Most of the time, particularly in the western countries, gun ownership is strictly limited – and unless you are part of the police force, you are generally not allowed to have a gun. For America, however, this has become pretty much a culture. Still, there’s a reason why guns have been so deeply embedded in the history of America. The roots go back to the middle of the 1700s – and since then, guns have become more and more of a necessity. The Second Amendment Whenever you talk about guns in America, you automatically go back to the second amendment – mainly because that’s when the wheels started to turn. Known as the “Right to Bear Arms” act, this law gave people the right to carry weapons – or more precisely, their rights would not be infringed. The law was, in the beginning, fairly ambiguous – as the citizens of the U.S. weren’t entirely certain what the law was referring to. Did they mean a particular individual, regarding their past – or society in general? Because if it was the latter, this would mean that not everyone might gain the right to bear arms. At first, it was deduced that mostly the militia had the right to bear arms – to protect the society. The police force was the individual’s “gun,” which protected them from dangers that might befall them within the society. In the end, the Second Amendment’s focus shifted, most of it going towards the individual. The state militia was no longer a dire need – so, many people started getting guns for their own benefit. There were many attempts to curb this trend to own guns – but these bans were overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court on the claim that it violated the terms of the Second Amendment. Americans were now free to express their liberty by owning a gun. Expansion to the West During America’s development, people started migrating to the west in search of new opportunities. However, mainly because of television and the fact that the west was a so-called “frontier land,” the place was considered to be quite dangerous. Only the brave adventured to this land that was mediatized for the fact that it was gun-clad. As a result, people who moved there would also have handguns available to protect themselves. Needless to say, not all of them were licensed guns – and most of them were owned without an actual authorization. However, in the eyes of the citizens, it was a necessity – and if they wanted a better life, they had to be able to protect themselves from the imminent dangers brought by “cowboys and Indians.” However, this proved to be mainly a myth – but a myth that ended up bringing more guns into the West. Today, it is believed that the westward expansion doesn’t exist. Still, one cannot argue that it marked a key point in the American identity – and guns are closely tied to that. One could say that guns were the actual protectors of the “American dream.” The Industrialization of Guns From early times, guns played a very important role in the cultural and political history of America. At the same time, they had a great impact on the country’s economy. Most of the gun industrialization in the U.S. began around 1840 with Samuel Colt – the person who contributed by creating the first gun with interchangeable parts. The aim was to make the same parts for every gun so that, in the event of damage, the gun can be repaired easily and without much money. Nowadays, interchangeable parts are taken for granted, but during Colt’s time, this was not the case. Since parts were unique and made on an individual level, it was far more difficult to get your hands on a gun. It was expensive and time-consuming – and many people just gave up on the idea. This is why the gun industry was not so flourishing back then – but it changed with time. Now, you have spares for anything. You have removable parts for the classic options, and you can easily make an order for a custom-made model. Considering that the United States holds over 40% of the world’s guns, the gun industry has become a major part of the economy. Currently, the firearm industry is worth more than $30 billion – which is almost the same as Nigeria’s national budget. Plus, guns have become an important aspect of many jobs – bringing additional profit to the economy. No matter if it’s for police forces, academies, or simply hunting sites, the industry has become so massive that it’s actually making America flourish. Whereas guns were a luxury that not many people could afford, now it is considered a commodity that almost everyone can have. All you have to do is be at least 21 (or even younger, depending on the state). They are bought for a variety of reasons, which go from self-defense to recreation (for those who are in the hobby of hunting). The Bottom Line Guns have played an important part in the evolution of America – and the industry is still developing. We can’t say exactly what the future holds for the United States – but considering these growing numbers, we suppose the gun industry will only become more powerful. Guns weren’t always accepted by the authorities – and the higher-ups would always be reluctant to give guns to individuals. However, considering that America is a country flourishing in individual liberty, guns aren’t an exception to that. Firearms also helped win wars and allowed America to grow economically. They have been present in the making of America at every point – therefore becoming a cultural item that one could not actually ignore.

Will It Turn Into A 'Red October'? US Admiral Warns Of New Russian Submarines While NATO Launches Largest Drills Since Cold War On Russia's Front Door Step

Remember! Hillary Clinton gave Russia the technology they used to build their hypersonic ICBM's!

By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

The title of the October 4th story over at Strategic Culture hints that madness is still in the air: "US Openly Threatens Russia with War: Goodbye Diplomacy, Hello Stone Age". As Steve Quayle mentioned in an SQ note while he linked to the story on his website: "To quote Putin, if history has taught him anything, he who strikes first usually wins - perhaps US NATO Ambassador should read history! It's a 2-way street". As the Strategic Culture story reported, the US believes that Russia is in violation of the INF nuclear treaty with the building of a new missile and our Ambassador to NATO Kay Bailey Hutchison actually said the following of Russia's new missile potentially becoming operational: “At that point, we would be looking at the capability to take out a (Russian) missile that could hit any of our countries. Counter measures (by the United States) would be to take out the missiles that are in development by Russia in violation of the treaty." She added. "They are on notice." As the Strategic Culture story pointed out, "this is nothing other than a direct warning of a preemptive strike." And while Hutchison just issued a 'clarification' of her remarks as the Washington Examiner reports in this new story, saying "I was not talking about preemptively striking Russia", even CNN recently admitted in this story (saved at Archive) that President Trump is on a huge winning streak with the confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh just the latest feather in his cap. Yet we all know, a war between the US and Russia would instantly bring that streak to a profound and screeching halt, along with "peace is the prize" Does the US's NATO Ambassador Hutchison not keep up with the latest news? As Dr Peter Vincent Pry warned in a story republished on ANP back on March 14th, 'mutually assured destruction' is no longer 'mutual'! As Dr. Pry reported on March 8th, thanks to 8 years of the policies of Barack Obama and his New START treaty, Russia was able to achieve the 'holy grail' of nuclear superiority, 'escalation dominance'. Warning in his March 14th story that the US is now 'unilaterally vulnerable to nuclear destruction' should war break out with Russia due to their new 'doomsday weapons' that we have no way to stop, for those who think that Dr. Pry's warning might not be accurate, we remind you that Republican Senator James Inhofe from Oklahoma said of Russia's new hypersonic missiles also back in March: "Right now, we're helpless" to stop them. And if Inhofe's warnings didn't ring loudly or true enough to you, US General John Hyten, the Commander of the US Strategic Command stated back in March to the US Senate Armed Services Committee: “We don't have any defense that could deny the employment of such a weapon against us, so our response would be our deterrent force, which would be the triad and the nuclear capabilities that we have to respond to such a threat." And while Kay Bailey Hutchison was busy worrying about Russia developing a weapon, we remind you that it was none other than Hillary Clinton who gave Russia the technology they used to build their hypersonic intercontinental nuclear missiles. Just the latest time that a move made by Hillary Clinton has put America in danger, isn't giving aid and comfort to our enemies still considered treason? The Gateway Pundit reported back in March: On Wednesday Russian leader Vladimir Putin threatened the West with unstoppable intercontinental nuclear missiles. Putin announced that Russia had developed an intercontinental nuclear missile that can’t be stopped or shot down by any country’s defence system. The Russian leader said the rocket travels 20 times the speed of sound and has unlimited range. Now we know where Putin gained the technology to build the missiles. –Hillary Clinton. "Hillary Clinton gave the Russians the technology to destroy American cities. And she gets cheered at restaurants all over New York City." A shocking set of emails that the Examiner reported on shows the nexus of Bill and Hillary Clinton’s foundation, Hillary Clinton’s State Department, Bill Clinton, Russian oligarch Vekselberg, and Skolkovo, “Russia’s Silicon Valley,” the Putin project to transfer Western technology to Russia that was championed and driven by Mrs. Clinton — and, what do you know, 17 out of 28 tech companies that hitched up with Skolkovo also contributed to the Clinton Foundation? What a coincidence. Meanwhile, Barack Obama’s support for Russian WTO membership made the whole global flow so much easier. With apparently somebody within the Trump administration still insanely pushing President Trump towards war with a nation that could completely annihilate us, we'll repeat our warning from this September 12th ANP story: "Watch Out President Trump! The Globalists Are Trying To Get You To Make The Same Mistakes Bush And Obama Made! And Nothing Less Than 'Judgement Day' May Await The Wrong Decision". And as Dr. Pry reported back on September 27th on ANP, Russia is ready for war against the US with their recent Vostok 2018 joint exercises with China simulating two nuclear strikes upon America. And while any nuclear war would be absolutely brutal for all nations involved, and the entire planet, and it would certainly mean the end of life as we know it here in America for our entire population, Russia's invincible new doomsday nuclear weapons, including POSEIDON and SATAN 2 hypersonic nuclear missiles, were the 'game changers'. Thanks Hillary. As Dr. Pry reported in this June 20th story on ANP, POSEIDON, named after the Greek God of Oceans, Earthquakes and Tsunamis is an artificially intelligent robot submarine that could deliver a 100 megaton nuclear bomb, "the largest nuclear weapon ever deployed by any nation. POSEIDON would explode underwater to radioactively contaminate and inundate with tsunamis U.S. coastal cities and seaboard, where are concentrated much of America’s military-industrial strength and population." And as Paul Craig Roberts, Ronald Reagan's assistant Secretary to the Treasury, has written of Russia's Satan 2 nuclear missiles with enough explosive force to allegedly destroy an area the size of France or Texas: “The atomic bombs that Washington dropped on these helpless civilian centres while the Japanese government was trying to surrender were mere popguns compared to today’s thermo-nuclear weapons." “One Russian SS-18 wipes out three-quarters of New York state for thousands of years." “Five or six of these ‘Satans’ as they are known by the US military, and the East Coast of the United States disappears.” So who exactly within President Trump's administration or within the US government is still pushing for war with Russia, a war that would change everything instantly for all Americans with Russian military leaders promising long ago that any war between the US and Russia would surely come home to US soil? As we'd reported on ANP back on June 16th, nobody should put it past the globalists within the Democratic party to push us into a war with Russia, possibly a war started via false flag as many wars begin. And as even President Trump pointed out in the July 19th tweet seen above, the fake news media wants so badly to see a major confrontation with Russia, even if that confrontation leads to war! As we pointed out in our July 20th story, "those screaming treason about peace with Russia should think about the alternative: War with Russia could lead to the deaths of every single one of them". Yet with US Admiral James Foggo recently warning about Russia heavily investing in their submarine fleet leading to a pushed and co-ordinated mainstream media narrative that Russian subs are a danger to European and American cities and hence, Kay Bailey Hutchison's recent announcement that America may need to take pre-emptive military action against them, we can't help but think of the classic 1990 movie starring Sean Connery based upon the 1984 novel by Tom Clancy, "The Hunt For Red October". So with October now fully here and talk of war once again in the air, just as it was back in October of 2017 and October of 2016 prior to the election, we pray that President Trump retains his sanity while Democrats all around him are losing their's, especially coming fresh off the disclosure that China was able to infiltrate computer systems of the US military and the Pentagon in a massive and highly damaging hack. As the Drive's War Zone reported of that hack, we may not find out fully how damaging it was for many years with it being "an intelligence operation of historic proportions that would have far-reaching and long-lasting ramifications". With China having participated with Russia in Vostok 2018, clearly sending a message to NATO and the US military that a war against one will be a war against both, should China still have access to any of that information or access to any of those compromised computers, war against China/Russia could turn into even more of an unimaginable catastrophe. As we hear in the first video below, the Russian military firing missiles from a submarine over a 1000 miles away has surely sent another message to the Pentagon and the US Navy while in the 2nd video below our videographer talks with us about NATO launching the biggest drills since the Cold War, right on Russia's doorstep. And while we're happy that NATO's US Ambassador Hutchison issued a clarification of her earlier remarks, 1 Thessalonians 5:3 reminds us: "When people are saying, 'Everything is peaceful and secure', then disaster will fall on them as suddenly as a pregnant woman's labor pains begin. And there will be no escape."

The Democratic Ten Commandments

By Dee Chadwell October 7, 2018

The Kavanaugh-Ford hearing was excruciating to watch but nevertheless instructive. The entire nation came face to face with the neon glare of the nastiness that is now the Democratic Party. Decent Democrats still exist, but either they fail to pay attention and, therefore, function on tradition only or their education has so failed them that they have no idea that the party has gone off the deep end. They don't know there is a deep end. The 21st-century Democrat is not a new species; he is just a new rendition of the ancient pagan mindset. These new Democrats have more raw power than ancient pagans ever had. They have all the advantages of modern technology; they have phenomenal wealth behind them; they have the leisure to work themselves into twisty fits over any instance of reality that dirties their rosy-pink world. America has always stood on a sturdy foundation of hard work, honesty, self-reliance, and a reverence for the individual as a creation of God Almighty. American jurisprudence was founded on ancient Hebrew law and on Anglo-Saxon concepts of government. Democratic ideas, as well, come up out of antique concepts, but theirs are the opposite of everything America has ever tried to be. America built its laws on the basis of the Ten Commandments. Those commandments are good guides for any society. Any civilization made up of people who largely govern themselves along those lines will be a free, peaceful, and prosperous nation. History demonstrates that. But Democratic policies are at odds with the entirety of these guidelines; they have developed their own Decalogue. These they adhere to with a vengeance:

Thou shalt have no other gods but human power. Winning elections is the Democrat raison d'être because power is their god; the party is their church; and its manifestation is large, centralized government. The party may demand that Democrats lie, cheat, steal, destroy property, shoot baseball-players, or kill babies, but all those activities are for the greater good: power.

Thou shalt worship under the direction of these priests: Darwin, Alinsky, Spock, Marx, Dewey, and Sanger – to say nothing of Baal. Child sacrifice is their sacrament. All ideas counter to the thinking of these apostles must be mocked, blocked, and twisted.

Thou shalt bow down to nothing wholesome or productive. Kindness, genuine caring, duty, and honor are attributes to fake in order to win elections – see the First Commandment – but are never indulged with sincerity. These values can clog with guilt many of the actions necessary for the required political fight to the death.

Thou shalt demonstrate no respect for the universe as God's creation. Good Democrats must see the Earth as fragile, purposeless, and a god itself. Democrats may show up for church on Sunday, but they are not to take any of it seriously and should choose a church that preaches Marx rather than Paul.

Thou shalt destroy all vestiges of family. Democrats believe in taxing citizens so intensely that both parents have to earn a wage. Their public school curricula train children to revere government rather than parents. Democrats champion sexual deviance and prepare children to indulge their sexuality from a young age. They champion abortion at all stages of fetal development and deny the differences between the sexes to produce maximum societal confusion. When the family fails, then government can take over. One can see the resemblance to the ancient phallic cults.

Thou shalt attack, provoke, ridicule, and kill whoever gets in your way. Even when they don't physically kill their political opponents, they kill their livelihoods, their reputations, their families. This commandment gives modern Democrats an excuse to run conservatives out of restaurants, out of theaters, out of their homes. Democrats can attack with impunity Republicans' electronic privacy – Dems can spy, tap, intercept emails, whatever is necessary. This commandment goes so far as to block any attempt their opponents can make to defend themselves – take their guns, take their knives, keep them vulnerable. Remember – winning is everything because winning brings power.

Thou shalt have any kind of sex with whomever, whenever, and wherever. Refer back to the fifth commandment. Societal chaos and desperation open the door to government control – i.e., power.

Thou shalt legalize theft by authorizing the government to steal. Big government requires big money to bribe voters, to keep them dependent, to be able to import new voters. Under this command, law enforcement must be hamstrung to such an extent that property crimes can't be enforced. All ideas of private property must be squelched and socialism championed.

Thou shalt bear false witness against thine enemies. They make up elaborate stories of sexual deviance and financial malfeasance, of drunken orgies and high school shenanigans. Though they condone such behavior among themselves, they feign horror and outrage at the supposed missteps of their opposition. They gum up the operations of government with said allegations and erase all remembrance of innocence until proven guilt. Winning, remember, is everything.

Thou shalt envy, covet, and indulge all jealous attitudes, hating anyone who has accumulated more wealth, more power, or more fame than you have. This is the engine the runs the whole thing. Without envy, there is no discontent. Where there is no discontent, there is little need of government. Where there is little need of government, there is no accumulation of power. If there is no accumulation of power, there is none for the party to grab and no wealth for the party to pocket. What we saw the Democrats do before, during, and after the Kavanaugh inquiry had to have sobered up a lot of honest, honorable Americans because what we saw on display was grotesque. Kavanaugh was damned if he did and damned if he didn't before he even walked into that chamber. Without one word of testimony Democrats were spouting their "I believe her," decrees as if they were holy proclamations. But most Americans are good people – generous and forgiving, honest and hardworking, earnest and dutiful. What we saw in the behavior of the Democrats, both on the committee and around the edges, was the opposite of everything we have been proud of as a nation. The Democratic adherence to these leftist directives, these ancient pagan mandates, proved to be too ugly to countenance. No doubt, decent Democrats all over the nation looked in that national mirror and were as horrified as the rest of us were. The voting booth is the only way we have to wash that venomous taste from our mouths.

Things Work Until They Don't

by Tyler Durden

Thu, 04/26/2018 - 19:45 Authored by Tom Chatham via Project Chesapeake,

As the world begins its next adventure in financial chaos and rolls over to expose its soft underbelly of lies and deceit that have been perpetrated on the public, those that see the truth have been warning the people once again. You can give people the truth but you cannot make them believe it. That is for them to come to grips with. See Also: Everything We Know About The Star Wars Live Action TV Series Trade wars are usually bad for all parties in the end but between the beginning and the end there can be some surprising developments. Human actions and delusions on the part of the public can produce strange results at times. All of our systems are based on trust. When that trust is lost, everything will come crashing down. Until then, things will go on. If trade tariffs with China have the short term effect of creating American jobs, that could have a wealth effect by creating more disposable income in American pockets. That in turn can have a positive effect on the stock market and consumer confidence. Also, commodities are set to soar in price soon and this could carry the stock market up with it for a while. Richard Russell once said he believed we would have a third leg in the current bull market before the bears take charge. He was right in the past and could be right again, only time will tell. This situation can not last long due to the enormous mal-investment built up in the system over many decades. A house of cards will eventually fall and the taller the house the longer and harder the fall will be. One thing that could destroy the temporary high could be the destruction of the financial system due to loss of the reserve currency status and the replacement of the petrodollar system. If and when that happens things will not be looking good for America for a very long time. China is taking actions that could result in just that type of outcome. Their new silk road initiative and oil trading system utilizing Yuan to gold will eventually have serious consequences for Americas standard of living. Total debts and derivatives in the world amount to 30-50 times of world GDP. The bulk of this is derivatives and when they fail they will become worthless. The 250 trillion or so in global debt will default when asset prices implode and interest rates explode. When the debt bubble explodes stocks could decline by as much as 95%. Interest rates could exceed the 20% rates we saw in the 1970’s. In the last 100 years the value of major currencies have declined by 97-99 % relative to purchasing power in gold. The last 1-3% will follow very soon. When the financial system collapses due to losses from derivatives and stocks it will erase all of the savings, and retirement funds people were expecting to get at some future date. This will instantly impoverish the bulk of the population. As the system collapses the banks will likely try to re-inflate assets by massive money printing which will only cause hyperinflation at some point. As hyperinflation kicks in the price of many assets like stocks, bonds, investment properties and art will likely collapse in real terms. Items like gold, silver and productive farmland will likely fare better. Eventually deflation will carry all asset prices down as the world falls into a global depression, possibly for decades. All of these things will likely result in social unrest and wars as people become hungry and angry at a system they took for granted for so many years. The trust will be broken and people will look for something else to believe in. One thing is for certain. People today believe anything but reality and that will catch up to them all very soon in a very painful way. Things work until they don’t. Our economy has been rolling along for decades on the stored wealth of previous generations but that is about to run out of steam very soon. When it does it will be a shock to all but a few. You can ignore reality but you cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.

Florida braces for ANOTHER hurricane: Tropical Storm Michael is heading to the Gulf Coast amid fears it will strengthen to a 'life-threatening' Category 2 storm with winds up to 100mph

Tropical Storm Michael predicted to become a Category 2 hurricane by midweek

Weather experts warn it could hit Florida Panhandle with winds up to 100mph

Florida Gov Rick Scott issued an order for a state of emergency for 26 counties

Gov Scott said the storm 'will be life-threatening and extremely dangerous'

By Valerie Edwards For Dailymail.com and Associated Press Published: 09:56 EDT, 7 October 2018 | Updated: 21:55 EDT, 7 October 2018

The Sunshine State is bracing for another hurricane as Tropical Storm Michael prepares to slam the Gulf Coast this week. On Sunday, Florida Gov Rick Scott warned that the storm headed for the Florida Panhandle could become a Category 2 hurricane with winds up to 100mph by the time it makes landfall Tuesday night. Scott issued an order for a state of emergency for 26 counties in the Florida Panhandle and the Big Bend area. The declaration will free up resources for storm preparation. 'This storm will be life-threatening and extremely dangerous,' Scott said after receiving a briefing at the State Emergency Operations Center. The governor warned that storm surge could affect areas of Florida not in the storm's direct path. 'If this storm hit Panama City, Tampa could still have storm surge,' said Scott, referring to two Florida cities about 375 miles apart by highway. 'Every family must be prepared.' Scott also activated 500 members of the Florida National Guard ahead of the storm. The US National Hurricane Center on Sunday upgraded Michael from a tropical depression to a named tropical storm, saying Michael had winds of up to 50mph. The storm could strengthen into a hurricane by Monday night or Tuesday as its center moves over the Yucatan Channel, crosses the Gulf of Mexico and nears the Florida Panhandle coast sometime Wednesday. Forecasters advised residents along the northeastern and central US Gulf Coast to monitor the storm's progress. The north Florida city of Tallahassee on Sunday opened two locations where residents could get sandbags in case of flooding. 'While the impacts are still uncertain, our area could experience increased wind activity and heavy rainfall, which could cause localized flooding and downed trees,' Tallahassee officials said in a statement. Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum, who is the Democratic nominee for governor, had planned to campaign in South Florida Monday and Tuesday, but he said he would return to Tallahassee to help with storm preparations. The city of Pensacola tweeted to residents: 'Be sure you have your emergency plan in place.' The storm was located about 130 miles southeast of Cozumel, Mexico, by 5pm Sunday afternoon. RELATED ARTICL It has been moving to the north-northeast at about 3mph. The storm is also expected to cause flooding to expand across the Carolinas later this week. The Carolinas were devastated last month when Hurricane Florence left parts of the states completely flooded. Millions were forced to evacuate and hundreds more lost their homes to flooding. North Carolina is thought to have suffered most, with $22billion in losses, followed by South Carolina with $5.5billion and about $1billion in Virginia. According to AccuWeather, Michael can deliver around 4-8 inches of rain from the Florida Panhandle into parts of the Carolinas later this week. Tropical storm winds extended out 205 miles, primarily east of the storm's center. A tropical storm warning was in effect for the Cuban provinces of Pinar del Rio and the Isle of Youth as well as the coast of Mexico from Tulum to Cabo Catoche. A warning indicates tropical storm conditions are expected, in this case, within 24 hours. The hurricane center warned that the storm could produce a foot of rain in western Cuba, potentially triggering flash floods and mudslides in mountainous areas. An Air Force hurricane hunter airplane was sent into the storm to investigate, the hurricane center said. Hundreds of families were evacuated to shelters in Honduras as heavy rains from Michael drenched the Central American country on its way to Florida. The Permanent Commission of Contingencies said Sunday that at least 260 homes have been damaged, mostly in southern Honduras, and that more than 6,000 people have been impacted by the rains. School was canceled nationwide Monday. Images on social media showed families wading through thigh-high water, rivers rushing onto streets and roads to communities cut off by mudslides. Local media reported several deaths. Homes in Honduras that are built close to waterways or wedged precariously on hillsides are vulnerable to being washed away by rain.

Michael is the 13th named storm of the 2018 hurricane season, according to hurricane center spokesman Dennis Feltgen.

Six cases of rare polio-like neurologic illness ‘with no cure’ confirmed in Minnesota

Published time: 7 Oct, 2018 23:39 Edited time: 8 Oct, 2018 06:15

Minnesota has reported an outbreak of a rare condition of the nervous system that has affected six children across the state. No single cure exists for acute flaccid myelitis (AFM), which can cause death in its most severe cases. While the rare condition, which results in acute muscle weakness and the loss of muscle tone in the arms or legs, typically strikes one patient in the Midwestern US state annually, six children under the age of ten were hospitalized with it in Minnesota, starting from mid-September, the Department of Health (MDH) reported. Cases of AFM were confirmed in the Twin Cities, central Minnesota and northeastern Minnesota. “MDH disease investigators are working aggressively with health care providers to gather information about the cases,” state health officials said in a statement. “The department is also in contact with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to share information.” The acute cases of the sickness, also known as Enterovirus 68 (EV68), could lead to a dysfunction of the nerves controlling the head and neck, with noted facial weakness, drooping of the eyes and difficulty swallowing all potentially developing in patients. AFM’s most severe cases could lead to respiratory failure and eventually death, if the muscles responsible for breathing become too weak to carry out their functions. Parents noticing any of the AFM symptoms in their children are urged to contact their doctors immediately. As far as prevention goes, people are being advised to limit exposure to germs, to avoid mosquitos and to update vaccinations, especially the one against polio. The United States witnessed an outbreak in the neurologic illness back in the summer of 2014. Minnesota saw three EV68 cases that year, with 120 patients diagnosed with the ailment in 34 states. In the last four years, 362 cases of AFM were reported in the US. Despite conducting “extensive lab testing on specimens from patients” the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) pointed out that they still have no clue “what pathogen (germ) or immune response” causes AFM. However, patients' symptoms are similar to “complications of infection with certain viruses, such as poliovirus and West Nile virus,” CDC believes. While the medics believe the condition can be triggered by viral infections, environmental and genetic factors may also contribute to the sudden development of the malady.

Biblical deluge and floods hit Iran

By Strange Sounds - Oct 7, 2018

It’s raining like hell in Iran since two days. The downpour, that has started on Friday, has been the heaviest during the past 20 years in the northern part of the country. The biblical deluge in the northern and northwestern parts of Iran has killed at least seven people. The unprecedented floods in the three provinces of Mazandaran, Gilan and Golestan destroyed roads, houses and bridges, and caused heavy damage to the infrastructures. Cars were stuck in flood, and electricity and gas flows in the rural areas have been disrupted. Iran’s Rescue and Relief Organization announced that the rescue operators have been dispatched to the flood-hit areas to help people pump flood out of their houses. On Twitter some have other opinions: ‘Iran’s regime refuses to provide adequate infrastructure and the people are left to suffer.‘ Well, I believe the sufferers.

World War 3 threat: US admiral warns Russia's missiles could strike ANY capital in Europe

RUSSIA’S plans to step up their underwater military operations is a major “concern”, America's most senior naval officer in Europe has warned as he revealed Moscow's cruise missiles had the capability to reach “any one of the capitals of Europe”.

By Luke Hawker  PUBLISHED: 12:10, Sat, Oct 6, 2018 | UPDATED: 17:01, Sat, Oct 6, 2018

Russian President Vladimir Putin has invested heavily in the Navy increasing their submarine fleet to showcase their strength. Admiral James Foggo, who heads NATO's Allied Joint Force Command in Naples, expressed his concern about the destructiveness of their submarines and cruise missiles, stating they had the capability to reach “any one of the capitals of Europe”. He said: “Russia is not 10 feet tall but they do have assets that keep me vigilant, concerned. One of them is in the undersea domain.” The naval officer also stated the Russians currently have six Kilo-class diesel-electric attack submarines in the Black Sea and Eastern Mediterranean. Admiral Foggo said: ”We've seen creation of new classes of all sorts of submarines and ships. I'm more concerned with submarine warfare. "Russians have produced the new Dolgorukiy-class submarine. They've produced the Severodvinsk-class submarine. They've produced the new Kilo hybrid-class submarine.” Adimral Foggo also revealed he has no doubt that Russia sees the US as the main threat. He said: "They see it as one which there is a challenge, and that challenge is the United Stated Navy and the United States submarine force." However Admiral Foggo does not see Russia as an immediate threat and together with NATO they hold an “acoustic advantage”. He said: "I can tell you that we hold an acoustic advantage and we will continue to do that," he said, referring to the listening technologies that allow sailors to locate subs. The upcoming NATO exercise Trident Juncture, which is due to begin October 25 and will involve some 45,000 troops from all NATO members and will be the biggest such drills since the Cold War. The exercise trains troops to repel "an adversary that comes across a NATO ally's border".

Admiral Foggo added: "There's a strong deterrent message here."

Islam: From the Delusional to the Dangerous

A 1,400-year-old primeval testimony of indoctrination and conquest.

October 3, 2018 Amil Imani

It has been widely asserted by many psychologists that human beings act upon their beliefs. Well, if this is true, we can deduce that beliefs direct people in life, and while some beliefs are harmless, some are the motivating force for good, others are delusional, misguided, and even outright dangerous. In my opinion, every version of the belief called “Islam” ranges from the delusional to the dangerous. Islam is a fantasy, birthed by Muhammad’s delusion that he relayed to his first wife and employer, Khadija. Greatly frightened, he told Khadija that he was visited by a jinn (devil) in the Hira cave. Khadija comforted the distraught man by assuring him that the episode was Allah’s way of choosing him as his messenger. Muhammad believed his rich wife/employer, who was 15 years his senior and the delusion became a belief: Islam. Remarkably enough, under the early tutelage of Khadija, Muhammad succeeded in attracting influential followers. Before long, the movement gathered more and more power through violent campaigns, and the faith was taken to new people and foreign lands. This impressive delusion, Islam, presently has in its stranglehold in over a billion humans, posing an existential threat to all non-Muslims. Islam is rooted in the primitive tribal mentality of “Us against Them,” “We the righteous against the heathens,” “We the servants submissive to the Great Allah against the rebellious enemies of Allah.” Islam is a polarizer. Islam is an enemy-maker. To Islam, a non-Muslim is a combatant against Allah, and he is fair game to be subjugated and killed. When some billion and a half people adhere to the pathological belief of Islam and use it as their marching orders for life, the rest of humanity can ignore the threat only at its own peril. After 1400 years, Islam is still on a campaign of conquest throughout the known world. Hordes of life-in-hand foot-soldier fanatical Muslims are striving to kill and get killed. All they want is the opportunity to discharge their homicidal-suicidal impulse, on their way to Allah’s promised glorious afterlife. And in the background, granting the foot-soldiers’ wishes, are their handlers, the puppeteers, who pull the strings and detonate these human bombs. Those who cherish life must recognize these emissaries of death, what makes them, what motivates them, and how best to defend against them. The campaign of death waged by these Islamic jihadists, be he a puppet or a puppeteer, is energized by the belief of delectable rewards that await the faithful implementer of Allah’s dictates. Through a highly effective indoctrination, the jihadist has come to believe firmly in Islam’s absolute delusion. He believes that Allah is the one and only supreme creator of the heavens and the Earth; that it is his duty and privilege, to abide by Allah’s will and carry out his plans at all costs. He believes firmly in a gloriously wonderful immortal afterlife in paradise, for which a martyr’s death is the surest quickest admission. Although the dominating theme of the delusion is quasi-spiritual, the promised rewards of the afterlife awaiting the martyr are sensual and material. All the things and activities that the jihadist desires and cannot attain or practice, and rejects in his earthly life, will be purified and proffered to him in the paradise of the next life. Thus goes the delusion. As I have asserted in my previous articles, it is important to understand that the human mind is not a perfect discerner of objective reality. Reality is in the eye of the beholder. The outside world only supplies bits and pieces of raw material that the mind puts together to form its reality. Depending on the type and number of bits and pieces that a given mind receives, its reality can be very different from that of another mind. The more prescribed and homogeneous a group, the greater is the group’s consensual reality, since the members share much in common, experiential input and reinforce each other’s’ mindset. Thus members of a given religious order, for instance, tend to think much more similarly to one another than to members of other groups with different experiential histories. Various approximations of the objective reality, therefore, rule the mind. The degree to which these approximations deviate from the larger group’s consensual reality determines its delusional extent and severity. A methamphetamine user’s reality is often distorted in a different way. Under the influence of the drug, an intense paranoia overtakes him. His reality is dominated by the belief that one or more people are lurking about to harm or kill him. He may wield a deadly weapon, going from room to room, from closet to closet, in search of the assailants. If you believe that a bug is camping deeply inside your body, then you might go ahead and try to dig the non-existent bug out. If you believe that people are lurking around the house to harm or kill you, you go after them before they get to you. If you believe that all the troubles of the world are due to the evil-doings of the non-Muslims who war against Allah, then you do all you can to fight and kill them, particularly since Allah tells you to do so in the Quran. The drug-induced delusions are hallucinations. They are dramatic and usually transitory, while religiously-based implantation of ideas program the mind with lasting delusions. Delusions, even when they are at great variance from the objective reality, can rule the mind without the need for drugs, or because of neurological dysfunctions or other factors. The young and the less-educated are most vulnerable to believe the claims of charlatans, con artists, and cunning clerics, as truth and reality. The repeated intense indoctrination of the children even changed the perception of some of the charlatan mullahs or the imams, who believed their own lies and rushed to their own death clinging to trinkets. Hence some of the puppeteers, in this instance, became puppets themselves. Such are the folly and fallibility of the human mind. It is, therefore, understandable that many of the higher-up Islamic puppeteers, who are usually brainwashed from early childhood, devote their fortunes and persons to the implementation of their deeply ingrained delusions. Deluded by the threats and promises of Islam, Muslims, rich or poor, vie with one another in furthering the violent cause of Allah. Many non-Muslims are also victims of a different, yet just as deadly, delusion. They believe that Islam is a religion of peace, that only a small minority of Muslims are jihadists, and that Muslims can be reasoned with to abandon the Quran-mandated elimination of non-believers. These well-meaning simpletons are just as deluded as the fanatic jihadists by refusing to acknowledge the fact that one cannot be a Muslim and not abide by the dictates of the Quran.

Haiti earthquake: Haiti capital Port-au-Prince rocked by devastating quake – 14 dead

AT LEAST 14 people are dead after a devastating 5.9 magnitude earthquake rocked Haiti, shaking the capital city of Port-au-Prince.

By Thomas Mackie PUBLISHED: 00:18, Mon, Oct 8, 2018 | UPDATED: 07:01, Mon, Oct 8, 2018

The quake struck the nation, located just outside the Pacific's deadly Ring of Fire, at 12.11am BST on Sunday with a depth of 10km. Pictures from the scene show crumbling building and damage to vehicles and walls after the devasting quake struck the Caribbean nation injuring up to 135 people. The quake was centred around 12 miles (20 km) west-northwest of Ti Port-de-Paix off Haiti's north coast. The police chief for the north-west region, Jackson Hilaire, initially confirmed seven people died in Port-de-Paix, while the interior minister, Reynaldo Brunet, said three people had died further south in the town of Gros Morne. Le Nouvelliste newspaper said one person had died when an auditorium collapsed in Gros Morne. Detainees were also released from a police holding cell that was damaged. People flocked to social media to say the quake had been felt in Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital, but there had not been any major damage. Haiti is prone to earthquakes as the island sits adjacent to major fault lines along the so-called "Ring of Fire". This is a horseshoe-shaped belt running around the Pacific Ocean where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur. About 90 percent of all earthquakes occur along the Ring of Fire, which is dotted with 75 percent of all the active volcanoes on earth. Haiti's Civil Protection agency says 135 injuries have been reported. But the full extent of the damage and number of casualties is still emerging as authorities assess the areas affected. The Civil Protection agency said: "Our teams from north to south are witnessing a state of panic in some cities." Haiti’s president Jovenel Moïse said: “An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.8 has hit Haiti. “According to the first reports by the Civil Protection, there is damage in the Far North of the Island. “I am working closely with authorities for an appropriate response. A local official said at least eight people died in Port-de-Paix on the northern coast near the epicenter of the quake. Four people were killed in and around the town of Gros-Morne farther south, local authorities said, including a woman who died from a heart attack suffered after the quake. Another person was killed in the town of Chansolme when a house collapsed and one other person in Saint-Louis-du-Nord. Rescue teams fanned out to help residents, many of whom were still dealing with the trauma of a devastating earthquake in 2010. This is the strongest earthquake to hit Haiti since 2010. In 2010, Haiti was devasted by a quake measuring 7.3 on the richter scale. The earthquake happened at 16:53 local time on Tuesday, 12 January 2010. By January 24, at least 52 aftershocks measuring 4.5 or greater were recorded. An estimated three million people were affected by the quake. More than 220,000 people were killed and over 300,000 were injured. The horrific earthquake, which was the biggest the region had seen in 200 years, left more than 1.5 million people homeless and resulted in an immense humanitarian crisis.

The Tyranny of “The Collective” by the Illusions of Narratives

By Doug “Uncola” Lynn via TheBurningPlatform.com

We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. – George Orwell, “1984”, part 3, chapter 3,

It is a fact the election of Donald Trump exposed certain undeniable realities in the United States for those willing to see. Perhaps first and foremost of the various revelations is the bona fide existence of The Collective. Also known as the Uniparty or The Establishment, The Collective is comprised of the following: The Democratic Party, Republican’s in Name Only (RINOs), Neo-conservatives (Neocons), the Mainstream Media, the Corporatocracy, globalists, elite bankers and unelected government bureaucrats and officials; also often referred to as The Deep State or Military Industrial Complex. All of these entities have attained singularity through the decades while, for the most part, retaining some “plausible deniability” of their collusive connectivity prior to the 2016 Presidential Election. But now the veil has been lifted. As The Collective has unified in polar opposition against everything Trump, so has its immorality and lawlessness been additionally exposed; like nude streetwalkers performing dirty tricks in broad daylight on busy corners. Over the past half century, if not before, The Collective has politicized, and weaponized, everything it could subvert. From the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to the courts, from professional football to late night comedy, from Hollywood to advertising, from social media to education, from race to gender, to sex. Especially sex; and in ways seemingly derived from the nightmares of George Orwell and Aldous Huxley. Paradoxically, however, it is more often the values of conservatives only that are called into account. The Collective will string up blacks like Clarence Thomas via high-tech lynchings and bully free-thinking Afro-Americans like Kanye West, Candace Owens, and Stacy Dash by labeling them “Uncle Toms”. The Collective will pass judgement on conservative Supreme Court nominees with no evidence beyond slander and innuendo. In fact, it is The Collective desiring One World Under Them, which wields Orwellian Newspeak terminology such as racist, misogynist, homophobic, xenophobe, and Islamophobia, like the proverbial pitchforks and torches. The Collective sows the politics of personal destruction in order to reap the whirlwinds of division. It shills rancor and broken dreams in order to form a new reality in its own image. A world where timeless moral principles are set aside for (they claim) the good of all. Notwithstanding, The Collective’s new religion is as phony as Michael Avenatti’s concern for clients. Now social media companies have purged “thought criminals” on their respective platforms, even as the rogue special counsel investigator, Robert Mueller, has exploited imaginary crimes in order to conceal actual government corruption and, likely, treason. The Collective preaches the tolerance of transgender men in the bathrooms of our daughters and wives while actively bullying and defaming those they consider as dissidents. Falsehoods from contrived, and illegal, government “leaks” are published and broadcast as being true while real facts are slandered as “fake news”. A public that can no longer distinguish between truth and fiction is left to interpret reality through illusion. Random facts or obscure bits of data and trivia are used either to bolster illusion and give it credibility, or discarded if they interfere with the message… When opinions cannot be distinguished from facts, when there is no universal standard to determine truth in law, in science, in scholarship, or in reporting the events of the day, when the most valued skill is the ability to entertain, the world becomes a place where lies become true, where people can believe what they want to believe. This is the real danger of pseudo-events and pseudo-events are far more pernicious than stereotypes. They do not explain reality, as stereotypes attempt to, but replace reality. Pseudo-events redefine reality by the parameters set by their creators. These creators, who make massive profits selling illusions, have a vested interest in maintaining the power structures they control. – Hedges, Chris (2009). “Empire of Illusion”, Nation Books, New York, NY, 2009, page 51 Kabuki Theater? Or Political Darwinism? Either way, conservatives lose political ground whenever they swallow the moral premises of The Collective. This is because The Collective utilizes deception to conceal their actual motives while simultaneously gaslighting and blackmailing conservatives by means of conservative values. In a manufactured reality, pseudo-events are designed to create consensus in order to manipulate outcomes. In other words, The Collective spins illusion by means of narrative. In the gun control and immigration debates, for example, The Collective doesn’t really care for “the children”. In truth, they use “the children” as a means to consolidate political power. Certainly, The Collective weaponizes the morality of conservatives against said conservatives; and whenever the twisted virtue of The Collective is accepted, the new global religion expands. Consider the Kavanaugh debacle. Underlying all of the Supreme Court nomination theater, the desire of those opposing the judge is simply this: To project a woman’s right to choose. Whether or not Kavanaugh is actually a threat to that right is beyond the point. He is perceived as a threat to “Roe v. Wade” by his opponents. This means a man’s reputation has now been slandered, and without any real evidence, in order to protect a woman’s right to abort her fetus at will. At the same time, it’s quite possible The Collective has staged the Kavanaugh production in order to further decimate America’s institutions in pursuit of global objectives. You win, they win. You lose, they win. Dirty politics are merely a subset of politics; and politics define Man’s relations with Man. If the U.S. Constitution was set-up to facilitate political, economic, and religious freedom – then wouldn’t an ideal system designed to control the masses, tear down these same conceptions? And how would such a system take hold? Perhaps by combining opposites through a twisted sort of immoral ecumenicalism: law plus corruption, androgyny, race and gender divisions by means of political correctness, slander, accusations, and lies – and all for the purposes of a new global singularity. It’s no surprise how The Collective confounds the logical. It loudly laments children being separated from their parents at the border AND Judge Kavanaugh for threatening the freedom of mothers who choose separation in the womb. If old-fashioned virtues such as logic, reason, morality, and law, no longer apply in politics today, then progress now simply requires faith; or, rather, what people believe. Even so, who says the theological premises currently conveyed by The Collective should be accepted at all? They do. That’s who. Unfortunately, in all circumstances electronically programmed, or manufactured, the consensus remains real nevertheless. Therefore, the actual enemy of common sense and decency currently, is not only The Collective, but moreso those who support The Collective with their votes, and by believing its lies, innuendo, accusations, and slander. Therein also lies the dialectical dilemma of the mushy-minded middle; including Republican Senators like Jeff Flake, Susan Collins, and Lisa Murkowski: As The Collective descends further into criminality, corruption, and dishonor, these blind centrists now lament the lack of “cooperation” and “compromise” in America. Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. – Yeats, William Butler (1920). “The Second Coming”. Only one of the bimodal goalposts has significantly moved over the past six decades, yet the lukewarm lament the widening gyre and blame both teams. In the long term, these people cannot save the nation. So is it all just politics, or reality television? The differences, of course, are in the consequences. Reality can never be denied for long and this is reality: We’ve passed the point of no return. America is circling the drain. All of her institutions are under attack currently and, barring any great and unforeseen circumstances, won’t survive. In order to truly drain the swamp, a lot of people would have to die. Conversely, so, too, must others be removed prior to the establishment of the New Faith. Therefore, a larger question remains: Who dies and who survives? The Russian investigation has decimated the trust of fifty-percent of the country in the voting system. The credibility of the FBI and Department of Justice (DoJ) has been destroyed in the eyes of the other fifty percent. Half of America hates Trump as Congress now experiences abysmal approval ratings. Most recently, the Kavanaugh affair has acted as a splitting maul in a country of felled trees; while the Supreme Court nomination process, and likely the Court itself, now falls to the sound of “timber”. Is it that simple? As easy as left and right, he said, she said, and black and white? Either way, there are no participation trophies awarded in Political Darwinism. Many on the right are playing the voting game while The Collective establishes its new religion. In truth, The Collective will sacrifice everything you have and blame you all the way down. Be assured it is their plan because compromise is no longer an option. The Rubicon has been crossed and there are those who will die to defend their New World Order. How about you?

Dems New America: Guilty Until You Prove Your Innocence

Oct 04, 2018 Read More Articles by Dave Daubenmire

Stop the Sexual Profiling

I travel a lot. More than I would like to. I am sitting in the airport typing this. I usually enjoy myself when I get to my destination but the constant suspicion I am under while traveling to and from makes me uncomfortable. Angry, actually. That would be a better description of what I feel. How did we reach the point in America where we are considered guilty until proven innocent? That phrase…guilty until proven innocent… has been getting a lot of attention lately with the reputation-mugging of Judge Kavanaugh. But we shouldn’t be surprised because the presumption of guilt is evident every time I try to board an airplane. In the eyes of the TSA we are all considered guilty. We have to prove our innocence before we can set foot in the plane. Security…that is what they tell us. We have to sacrifice our freedom in order to be safe. But why don’t I feel any safer after I remove my shoes and give them the opportunity to explore any body cavity they choose in order to prove my innocence? It is all about conditioning. Racial profiling is bad, they say, so in order to catch the real crooks we must all be considered guilty. It is the new way of doing justice in the good old U S of A. But even more insidious than the TSA is the blatant sexual profiling of men…especially white Christian men. Can you believe that we even put up with this bunk? Do me a favor and let me know if you can list one group of Americans that is more profiled than men? If you were to take your cues from the Senate hearings, and make no mistake they are programming you to think a specific way, ALL men are sexual predators. ALL women are honest and would never lie. All women are victims. All men are guilty until they prove their innocence. White privilege and white guilt are now weapon-ized and used every day in the moral cesspool that we find ourselves navigating through. ALL Christians are bigots. ALL Christians are full of hate. ALL Christians are racist. All Christian men take advantage of women. That is what patriarchy is all about. Guilty until proven innocent. Men are pigs. Ask the women who sleep with women. Let there be no doubt about it, it is Christianity that the God-haters are hell bent on destroying. Have you noticed that in the Kavanaugh hearings NO ONE is questioning the integrity of the accuser? Why, she is a woman and we all know that poor, helpless women don’t lie. Everyone is falling over backwards speaking about her “bravery” and how “believable” she is. It makes me gag. I think she is lying. Am I allowed to say that? Is a white male permitted to have an opinion in America anymore? Is it bigotry and sexual harassment simply to question what some appearing-out-of-nowhere babe has to say? Believing her just because she is a woman is a most insidious form of bigotry. Does anatomy now determine veracity? Is a woman to be believed simply because she has a vagina? Sorry dudes and dudettes, but I ain’t buying it. The real war in America is the war on men. I don’t trust Diane Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, Susan Collins, Maxine Waters, Joy Behar, Whoopi, and Potifar’s wife. I think they are conniving, sexist, and power hungry. Everyone lies about sex…remember Bill Clinton’s defenders? Any woman who would support the killing of an unborn baby cannot be trusted. Abortion reveals a great character flaw. Lying about sex would be nothing compared to lying to kill an unborn child. The freakin men better stand up and start fighting. Women run the home, they run the schools, the run the church, and they run the government. But most importantly, they run the bedroom. Rare is the woman who has made it to the top who has not used her sexuality to her advantage. There. I said it. I’m tired of the double standard. Evil women sexualize their power. Weak men are putting up with it. If you think that women don’t use sex as a weapon you are a fool. What is that saying…hell hath no fury like a woman scorned? A woman would never lie to protect her right to abortion, now would she? And yes I am married. Thirty nine years next month. My wife loves me and I love her. She agrees with my assessment. Our marriage bed is undefiled. How many elected officials can claim that? Sexual profiling is making men fearful and weak. Grow a pair, Pal. Stand up and push back. But we all know that women don’t lie…right? Sorry, but lying has no gender. Trump is the only politician with balls. He scares the men as much as the women. Be sure to vote in November. A vote for Trump’s team is a vote for manhood. You are a male by birth but you are a man by choice. It’s time to man up fellas.

How Globalists Plan To Use Technology And Poverty To Enslave The Masses

Thursday, 04 October 2018 05:36 Brandon Smith

Tyranny is often seen as a sudden and inexplicable development in a society; the product of a singular despot that rockets to power for a limited window of time due to public fear or stupidity. This is one of the great lies of the modern era. The truth is that for at least the past century almost every historically despised “tyrant” was merely a puppet of a larger managerial cabal, and the construction of each totalitarian state was accomplished slowly and quietly over the course of decades by those same financial elitists. From the Bolsheviks, to Hitler and the Third Reich, to Mao Zedong, to most tin-pot dictators across the Middle East and Africa, there has always been an organized group of money men and think tanks fueling the careers of the worst politicians and military juntas of the epoch. The rise of a tyrannical system takes extensive time, planning and staging. Human beings do not simply jump right into the arms of a dystopian nightmare regime impulsively at a moment’s notice. We have been told by popular media that this is how it works; that during hard economic or social conditions men with charismatic personalities and evil intentions suddenly rise to the surface and take power by promising a better world in exchange for public fealty. But where did those economic and social crises come from to begin with? Were they a natural consequence of the era, or were they deliberately engineered? The reality is that people must be psychologically conditioned to trade freedom for the illusion of safety. Sometimes this takes generations. Every attempt at a totalitarian framework inevitably elicits a rebellion. Therefore, the most successful tyranny would be one that the public DEMANDS. They have to think it is their idea, otherwise they will eventually fight it. Globalist financiers and power addicts need something more than mere military might or bureaucratic force to obtain their ideal slave society. They need 4th Generation warfare tactics. They need to con the masses into accepting their own servitude. There are two tools that make this outcome possible: The first is controlled economic decline, the second is the integration of a technological gulag into every aspect of public life. Economic Weapons Of Mass Distraction It is no coincidence that dictatorial governments gain prominence as the global economy suffers; it is extremely difficult for people to remain vigilant to tyranny when they are completely distracted by their own survival. This is why my focus as an analyst has always been primarily on economics and solutions to fiscal disaster; it all begins and ends with the economy. If the public can be prepped to develop their own alternative economic systems before a crisis occurs, then they will be less distracted by the chaos and more apt to notice when the globalists offer tyranny as a fix-all. Without alternative markets at the local level there is no redundancy, no protection from a crash. With most people dependent on the existing system for their livelihoods, the economy becomes a very useful weapon for the globalists. Holding the economy hostage creates numerous advantages. Through deflationary pressure wages can be kept low while higher paying jobs disappear. Manufacturing can be phased out or outsourced overseas, as in the U.S. Small business ownership becomes difficult as taxes generally rise while financial conditions decline. Through inflationary or stagflationary pressures, low wages and the inadequate job market are combined with exploding prices. This makes survival for many people untenable without government aid. In this environment, the working public becomes reliant on the service sector, which provides no useful skill sets. Soon, you have entire generations of people with no production abilities whatsoever. They become drones working in meaningless office and retail jobs squandering away their days knowing that they are accomplishing nothing beyond a meager paycheck. The lack of a greater purpose or mission in life and the nagging realization that the average person has no productive capacity creates a palpable atmosphere of desperation. They do not own their own work, and they have nothing much to show for their labor; nothing to point at and say, “I built that.” The public gets to the point that they may even welcome an economic collapse simply to escape the drudgery. This is where movements to support totalitarianism come fromthe subset of citizens that are fed up with fighting against the economy and have no sense of independence. These people do not know how to solve their own problems, they are always looking for someone else to do it for them. The globalists are happy to suggest their own predetermined solutions to the public once the financial structure hits a point of maximum pain. However, after the economy is repaired in exchange for the submission of the citizenry, people might still decide one day that the trade was unfair. Thus, a deterrent is needed to keep them in line. The Technological Fish Tank It is important to understand that there is no major country in the western OR eastern world that is not building a digital control grid, and this helps to support my position that eastern nations are just as subservient to globalist demands as western nations. All the geopolitical drama surrounding events like the trade war, the Syrian war or various elections, etc.; none of this matters in the end. When determining if the strings of a particular government are being pulled by the globalist cabal, all you have to do is look at how quickly they are implementing oppressive systems that serve globalist interests. For example, India’s government has been hitting the news feeds lately as their supreme court recently ruled that the controversial Aadhaar biometric program is legal. In a nation of 1.3 billion people, around 1 billion have already been biometrically profiled in a national database. This data can include fingerprints, iris scans and face scans. I have heard it argued that India is a rather odd place to experiment with such a database, considering 60% of the population is under the poverty line and most people barely have basic amenities. But I would point out that this is why it is a PERFECT place for the globalists to start cataloging the world population on larger scale. Again, financial desperation and a lack of productions skills tends to produce subservience. Hundreds of millions of poverty stricken people in India’s sprawling urban sewers are voluntarily giving up their biometric data in exchange for government aid programs. For the people not anchored down by the poor economy India has instituted other measures, including requiring anyone accessing government services, opening a bank account or signing up for a mobile phone service also give up their biometrics to the government. In nations not yet impoverished at India’s level, more subversive measures have been instituted for surveillance of the population. Data is simply taken rather than traded. In Russia, Vladimir Putin has put the Yarovaya laws he signed in 2016 into effect. All digital data from phone conversations to emails is now recorded and stored by telecoms for government access for a minimum of six months, this includes Facebook and Twitter posts. The 2014 bloggers law also requires any blogger with over 3,000 followers be put on government file and they cannot remain anonymous. Any business operating a public Wi-Fi network is required by law to identify users by ID, which is also stored for at least six months. Russia’s FISA-style surveillance grid is vast, yet, many people in the liberty movement seem to ignore this reality with misplaced Putin-worship. As I have noted in numerous articles, Russia is heavily influenced by international financiers. Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan are the largest investment banks in the country. Their central bank works closely with the IMF and the BIS. The Kremlin has in the past called for a global currency controlled by the IMF. And Putin even admits in his own biography First Person that he has been friends with New World Order salesman Henry Kissinger since before he became president of Russia. In a latest show of how globalist Russia really is, the Russian Foreign Minister recently criticized the U.S. in a speech to the U.N. general assembly over its “attacks” on the “international order,” including undermining the World Trade Organization and global climate change agreements. With the above in mind, it should come as no surprise to anyone that Russia is playing right along with globalist efforts to identify and track every single living person. It should also come as no surprise that Donald Trump, surrounded by globalists within his own cabinet, is continuing and expanding FISA surveillance under his administration. At the beginning of 2018 Trump signed a bill renewing the National Security Agency’s warrantless FISA mass surveillance of the American population. Leading Democrats happily supported the action. Despite all of Trump’s rhetoric against FISA recently, it was Trump that made FISA’s continuation possible. Major social media companies are cooperating wholeheartedly with mass surveillance efforts as they share personal data with governments around the world regularly. Facebook alone saw an increase in government requests for data of over 33% in 2017, and the nature of most of this data sharing is not open to public scrutiny. This is one reason why I'm rather bewildered by the recent conservative fury over social media discrimination - it's as if personal liberty activists are being tricked with reverse psychology to DEMAND unhindered participation in media sites that spy on them. Why does anyone still want to sign up for these websites? But where is this all going? How does the combination of poverty and digital surveillance translate to tyranny? I believe China’s “social credit” program is the answer. The system is based on the idea of "maintaining trust", but whose trust? Well, the government's trust, of course. Trust is measured using a social credit score that is tracked over a citizen's life. Punished behaviors include anything from smoking in a no smoking area to publishing internet content that the powers-that-be disapprove of. China is representative of the end game for the globalist ideal for civilization. With mass economic struggle leading to dependency on government welfare programs and employment opportunities, few citizens can afford to be “blacklisted.” China’s social credit system creates an environment in which any and every action on the part of citizens is tracked and then “rated” for acceptance or consequence. This includes how people express attitudes toward the government itself. Obviously, this is the ultimate control mechanism, very similar to the Cheka established by Lenin and Stalin in Russia after the Bolshevik Revolution, but on a massive digital scale.  This is why mass surveillance is evil, regardless of whether someone is breaking the laws or not. It gives government the power to dictate and mold behavior by inspiring self-censorship rather than holding people directly at gun point. It is tyranny enforced in a less obvious way; a prison in which the prisoners maintain the locks and the chains and the bars. Individuals do not dare do anything outside of collective norms for fear that it could be interpreted as socially negative. Punishment might include loss of access to the economy itself, and when most people are living from paycheck to paycheck, this could mean death.

Now the volcanoes! Indonesia's Son of Krakatoa erupts after the Mount Soputan volcano erupted close to Fridays M 7.5 quake and tsunami

Wednesday, 3 October 2018

Video footage shows the vast volcano erupting (Image: @Sutopo_PN-Twitter)

A second volcano eruption has occurred in Indonesia just hours after the Mount Soputan volcano erupted on the same island as the M7.4 quake and deadly tsunami which has left 1,400 dead from the tsunami and a further 2,000 dead from landslides. The vast volcano, known as the Son of Krakatoa, is spewing lava into the air as the region is hit by another natural disaster. According to the Daily Express, Lava is also running down the volcano’s slopes as the region reels from the devastation left by a magnitude 7.5 earthquake and consequent tsunami on the Sulawesi island last Friday. Indonesia is located in the Ring of Fire region, one of the worst affected areas by earthquakes in the world. Volcanoes Front Page Posted by Gary Walton at 11:39 am

Trump: I Told Saudi King He Wouldn’t Last Without US Support

avatar by Reuters and Algemeiner Staff October 3, 2018 12:28 pm

President Donald Trump made an undiplomatic remark about close ally Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, saying he warned Saudi Arabia’s King Salman he would not last in power “for two weeks” without the backing of the US military. “We protect Saudi Arabia. Would you say they’re rich. And I love the King, King Salman. But I said ‘King — we’re protecting you — you might not be there for two weeks without us — you have to pay for your military,'” Trump said to cheers at a rally in Southaven, Mississippi. Trump did not say when he made those remarks to the Saudi monarch. Despite the harsh words, the Trump administration has had a close relationship with Saudi Arabia, which it views as a bulwark against Iran’s ambitions in the region. Trump made Saudi Arabia his first stop on his maiden international trip as president last year. Trump called King Salman on Saturday and they discussed efforts being made to maintain supplies to ensure oil market stability and global economic growth, according to Saudi state news agency SPA. Saudi Arabia is the world’s top oil exporter and the de facto leader of OPEC, which has been criticized by Trump for high oil prices. Speaking at the United Nations General Assembly in New York last month, Trump said OPEC members were “as usual ripping off the rest of the world.” “We defend many of these nations for nothing, and then they take advantage of us by giving us high oil prices. Not good. We want them to stop raising prices, we want them to start lowering prices,” Trump said. He has also pressed other US allies, such as Japan, South Korea, and Germany, to take more of the financial burden of their defense.

Sukkot Ends With Clouds of Gog Magog War on Temple Mount [VIDEO]

By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz October 3, 2018 , 2:06 pm

I wipe away your sins like a cloud, Your transgressions like mist— Come back to Me, for I redeem you. Isaiah 44:22 (The Israel Bible™)

On Sunday, a group of Jews praying on the Mount of Olives witnessed a large white cloud rise up out of the ground from the Temple Mount. The phenomenon was recorded by Josh Wander, a Mount of Olives resident. A sunrise prayer session was organized on a plaza overlooking the Temple Mount for the holiday of Hoshana Rabbah, the last day of the week-long holiday of Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles). “Just after sunrise, I was recording a Facebook live video of the prayers when I panned my camera to the Temple Mount,” Wander told Breaking Israel News. “All of a sudden, I noticed a cloud or fog that erupted from the northeastern corner of the mount. It seemed to be coming from the area which was designated for women in the time of the Temple and the eastern gateway, which confused me, since I know that today, it is an orchard of olive trees and there is normally no activity there.” The balcony of Wander’s home overlooks the Temple Mount so he is intimately familiar with the scenery. He is also a regular visitor to the site and said he has never seen anything like this before. “It was billowing up so I thought some Arabs might be burning branches,” Wander said. “But it was much too early for Arabs to be on the Temple Mount and I didn’t see any Arabs there before, during, or after and certainly no fire. It was not just a thin mist and the video doesn’t really convey the presence of the mist.” When he lived in the United States, Wander served as a pilot in the Air Force Auxiliary where he was trained to identify clouds. Meteorology and identifying clouds is an essential part of pilot training. “There was very little wind and the smoke just seemed to crawl across the mount toward the Dome of the Rock,” Wander said. “It seemed to come out of a specific spot but after several minutes, it seemed to be rising up from multiple sources in the same general area.” Wander reluctantly described the mist with a word he rarely uses. “It looked supernatural,” he said. Not trusting his own eyes, Wander asked the people around him if they could also see the mist. Most were immersed in their holiday prayers and had not noticed but when it was pointed out, they confirmed the mist’s presence. The phenomenon lingered on the ground around the golden dome for more than 20 minutes. “I am certainly not the kind of person who sees signs in nature,” Wander said. “But this was just too out of the ordinary to ignore. It looked eery and the location, the site of the Holy of Holies, is too significant.” When Rabbi Yosef Berger heard of the sighting, he responded with equanimity. “If you had told me that it happened any other day of the year, I would not have assigned it any significance,” Rabbi Berger told Breaking Israel News. “But to have this cloud appear on Hoshana Rabbah is highly significant and makes me happy, knowing the geula (redemption) is at hand.” The rabbi cited Midrash Talpiot, a collection of homiletic and oral teachings compiled by Elijah ben Solomon Abraham ha-Kohen of Smyrna in the 17th century. “It is written in the Midrash Talpiot that the War of Gog and Magog will begin three hours before the dawn on Hoshana Rabbah, the battle will last three hours, and then the Moshiach will begin to appear,” Rabbi Berger said. “Of course this war is accompanied by flames and smoke as was hinted at in Psalms.” Hashem is in its midst, it will not be toppled; by daybreak…He puts a stop to wars throughout the earth, breaking the bow, snapping the spear, consigning wagons to the flames. Psalms 46:6-10 “It very well could be that a major battle was being waged on the Temple Mount on the spiritual plane and the only part of it that we could see was the smoke,” Rabbi Berger said. “It has been clear all year that a war is being waged for the Temple Mount.” The rabbi noted that a record 28,000 Jews ascended to the Temple Mount in the past year and an additional 5,000 visited the site during the recent holidays. “Smoke is only one aspect of the war, an illusion that we can see with our eyes while the real battle is being waged on planes we cannot see,” Berger said. “The real battle goes much deeper. We may be seeing other aspects of the battle in the near future.” “During Sukkot we read about Gog and Magog in the Haftarah (a section of the Bible – usually from the Prophets – read in the synagogue that is thematically linked to the Torah reading). On Pesach, we read as the Haftarah Ezekiel’s vision of the Dry Bones,” Rabbi Berger said. “The war begins on the last day of Sukkot and the resurrection begins on Pesach.” Rabbi Berger noted that Hoshana Rabbah is the day of judgment for the nations. “We are seeing a realignment among the nations concerning Israel,” Berger said. “The United Nations is going through changes and may cease to exist. In England, America, Germany, and so many countries, their politics is being determined by how they relate to Israel and the Bible. This is a precursor to what will happen soon, what is already taking place on levels we cannot see.”

Israel's 'Nationality' Law and Palestinian Lies

by Bassam Tawil October 1, 2018 at 5:00 am

It is far from clear why the Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza Strip should be concerned about Israel's new Nation-State Law. The Palestinians living in these areas are not Israeli citizens and are not part of the Israeli political system. The Palestinians living in these areas have their own (Palestinian) citizenship, their own flag, their own parliament and their own government. They are not affected by the law in any way. This fact renders their opposition to the law little less than ridiculous. This is the logic of Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinians: Israel defining itself as a Jewish state is an act of "racism" and "apartheid," while, as a matter of course, the future Palestinian state will be an Islamic state governed by Sharia law, and that, presumably, is not an act of "racism" or "apartheid." Before condemning Israel for seeking to preserve its character as a Jewish state, the world needs to explain why it is all right for the Palestinians to plan that their future state will be ruled by Islamic law. We are witnessing yet another remarkable mirror image brought to us by the Palestinians: once again, they seek to deny Israel precisely what they believe should come to them on a silver platter. For the past few weeks, the Palestinians and their leaders have been raising strident voices against Israel's new Nation-State Law, which specifies the nature of the State of Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people. The Palestinians have condemned the law as "racist" and claimed that it paves the way for Israel becoming an "apartheid state." This week, Palestinians declared a general strike in the West Bank and Gaza Strip to protest the law, which, they say, "eliminates the two-state solution." It is far from clear, however, why the Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza Strip should be concerned about the new law. The Palestinians living in these areas are not Israeli citizens and are not part of the Israeli political system. The Palestinians living in these areas have their own (Palestinian) citizenship, their own flag, their own parliament and their own government. They are not affected by the law in any way. This fact renders their opposition to the law little less than ridiculous. Because they have their own parliament and state institutions, the Palestinians are free to pass any laws they wish without seeking permission from Israel or any other party. Most people are unaware that the Palestinians do have their own laws, including the "Palestinian Basic Law," which was passed by the Palestinian Legislative Council in 2002. Why is it important to remind the world of this Palestinian law now? Since the Palestinians are voicing their strong opposition to the Israeli Nation-State Law (which has nothing to do with them), there is a need to bring to international attention one of the major articles of the Palestinian Basic law. Only then will the world understand how the Palestinians and their leaders are duping everyone and engaging in hypocrisy and double standards. The Palestinians say they cannot accept Israel as a Jewish state and will never recognize it as the homeland of the Jewish people. This, the Palestinians argue, is one of the main reasons why they are opposed to the new Israeli law. In recent years, Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas has repeatedly expressed his vehement refusal to recognize Israel as a Jewish state. In fact, he has never missed an opportunity to make his position clear on this subject. "We will not recognize or accept the Jewishness of Israel," Abbas has repeatedly stated over the past few years. Abbas and the Palestinians will, of course, never accept Israel as the homeland of the Jewish people. Doing so, they reckon, would mean that Palestinian refugees and their descendants will never return to their former homes inside refugees and their descendants will never return to their former homes inside of Israel. The Palestinians continue to argue that the "right of return" is sacred and, under any deal with Israel, millions of Palestinians should be permitted to converge on Israel -- a move that would mean turning the Jews into a minority in their own country. The Palestinians, however, who are hell-bent against Israel declaring itself a Jewish state, are the very ones who are affirming that Islam will the official religion in a future Palestinian state. Here is what Article 4 of the Palestinian Basic Law states: "Islam is the official religion in Palestine. The principles of Islamic Sharia shall be the main source of legislation. Arabic shall be the official language." So, this is the logic of Abbas and the Palestinians: Israel defining itself as a Jewish state is an act of "racism" and "apartheid," while, as a matter of course, the future Palestinian state will be an Islamic state governed by Sharia law, and that is not presumably an act of "racism" or "apartheid." In a further ironic twist, the Palestinians say that they oppose the new Israeli law because it "abolishes" Arabic as an official language in Israel (a false claim), while they themselves are poised to make Arabic the sole official language of their future state. In fact, the Israeli Nation-State Law does recognize Arabic as a primary language. Here is what the law says in this regard: "The Arabic language has a special status in the state; the regulation of the Arabic language in state institutions or when facing them will be regulated by law. This clause does not change the status given to the Arabic language." While Israel continues to respect the Arabic language and has even granted it special status, the Palestinians -- in their Palestinian Basic Law -- make no reference to any language other than Arabic. The Palestinian law does not even mention English, Hebrew or French as secondary languages. It states that the only official language in the Palestinian state will be Arabic, and Arabic alone. This is where the double standards can be found with regards to the Palestinians' and the others' position on the Israeli Nation-State Law. Before condemning Israel for seeking to preserve its character as a Jewish state, the world needs to explain why it is all right for the Palestinians to plan that their future state will be ruled by Islamic law. Why are the Palestinians permitted to plan for Islam to be their official religion, while Israel is denounced for seeking to maintain its Jewish character and identity? Moreover, why is Israel castigated because of a law that guarantees special status to Arabic in the Jewish state, while not a voice is raised in wonderment as to why the Palestinians refuse any language other than Arabic in their future state? We are witnessing yet another remarkable mirror image brought to us by the Palestinians: once again, they seek to deny Israel precisely what they believe should come to them on a silver platter. But this is the old Palestinian story in a new bottle. This time, the Palestinians wish to keep the tenets of the Palestinian Basic Law under wraps. Perhaps they are somewhat concerned about world opinion on the matter. Given the history of world opinion on related Palestinian duplicity, however, perhaps the Palestinians have less to worry about that they believe. Bassam Tawil is an Arab Muslim based in the Middle East.

Volcano erupts on quake-hit Indonesian island

Mount Soputan started spewing ash five days after Sulawesi was hit by a 7.5-magnitude earthquake and tsunami.

12:19, UK, Wednesday 03 October 2018 By Alix Culbertson, news reporter

A volcano has erupted on the Indonesian island hit by an earthquake and tsunami five days ago.

Mount Soputan in North Sulawesi province starting spewing ash 6,000m (19,685ft) into the sky on Wednesday afternoon. A government volcanologist said he suspects the eruption was triggered by last Friday's 7.5-magnitude earthquake, which also created a tsunami and has killed 1,407 people - with the number rising daily. Planes have been warned about ash clouds, as they can be hazardous for their engines. Air evacuations only recently began in Central Sulawesi - about 585 miles (940km) southwest of the volcano - and aid planes have also just started to be able to get to Palu, the city most badly hit by the tsunami. The volcano's eruption status was raised from an alert to standby 2.5 miles (4km) from the summit and up to four miles (6.5km) to the west-southwest. Standby status means people should avoid the area nearest the volcano and have masks available in case of ash fall. The Indonesian archipelago has dozens of active volcanoes as it is on the Pacific Ring of Fire. Indonesian President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo arrived in Palu just hours before Mount Soputan erupted. It is the first time he has visited the area since the quake hit five days previously, with the government heavily criticized for a lack of disaster planning as residents in and around Palu have struggled to get food, water or medical aid for days. Many villages have been cut off by landslides caused by the earthquake, with the number of deaths expected to rise even further over the coming days. Mr Widodo said: "Logistics are in and continue to spread, there are places that we haven't reached. "I've instructed the governor to recommend the markets to be reopened, we want to start reviving the economy." As aid began trickling in, residents in one neighbourhood clapped, cheered and high-fived the arrival of a supply truck. One of them, clutching a box of instant noodles, said: "I really haven't eaten for three days." But aid is yet to reach the hardest-hit areas outside Palu as the UN humanitarian office said people urgently require shelter, clean water, food, fuel and emergency medical care. Yahdi Basma, a leader from a village south of Palu, said he is hoping to get his family on a cargo plane out because there is no aid. "The president is not hearing about the remote areas, only about the tsunami and about Palu," he said. "There are hundreds of people still buried under the mud in my village. I lost many members of my family and neighbours. There is no aid whatsoever which is why we're leaving." Entire neighbourhoods have been swallowed up by the process of liquefaction, which happens when the earthquake shakes the soil - making it behave like a liquid. Hundreds of people are believed to have perished due to liquefaction, the Indonesia disaster agency said. Indonesia's military chief said soldiers and other forces have been deployed to Palu to guard any remaining key infrastructure, fuel depots and the airport - which was badly damaged - to stop any looting attempts. Police in the city had not been arresting looters desperate for food and water until Tuesday when other items such as computers were stolen.

Chinese destroyer came within 45 yards of US destroyer in South China Sea, says report

USS Decatur departs for deployment. (U.S. Navy/Released)

October 01, 2018 Laura Widener

A close call occurred in the South China Sea between a United States Navy ship and a Chinese warship over the weekend. The Chinese warship came within just 45-yards of the USS Decatur on Sunday in what was called an “unsafe” interaction, according to two defense officials who spoke with CNN on Monday. Capt. Charles Brown, a spokesman for US Pacific Fleet, told CNN that “A (People’s Republic of China) Luyang destroyer approached USS Decatur in an unsafe and unprofessional maneuver in the vicinity of Gaven Reef in the South China Sea.” He added that the Chinese ship “approached within 45 yards” of the USS Decatur, and “conducted a series of increasingly aggressive maneuvers accompanied by warnings for the Decatur to depart the area.” The USS Decatur was forced to maneuver away “to prevent a collision.” The USS Decatur was conducting a “freedom of navigation” operation to ensure free passage for vessels in international waters. The operation took place in area of the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea. “US Forces operate in the Indo-Pacific region on a daily basis, including the South China Sea. All operations are designed in accordance with international law and demonstrate that the United States will fly, sail and operate wherever international law allows,” a US defense official told CNN over the weekend. The Spratly Islands is one of the island groups claimed by China, who has militarized the Spratly, Paracel, and other island clusters. The Chinese military remains on edge about operations nearing their claim, especially amid trade tensions with the U.S. The last freedom of navigation operation took place in May when two U.S. Navy warships traveled near the Paracel Islands. Last week, the U.S. flew two B-52 bombers in a routine operation over the South China Sea, another action that worried Chinese officials. China’s Defense Ministry spokesman Ren Guoqiang called it a “provocative action” and warned, “we will take all necessary means to safeguard our rights and interests.” Despite China’s warnings, the U.S. air and sea operations are considered routine and completely legal by international law. “There’s nothing out of the ordinary about it, nor about our ship sailing through there,” Defense Secretary Jim Mattis told reporters outside the Pentagon. “I’ve noticed that other nations have also incurred certain diplomatic wrath out of Beijing for sailing their ships through. It’s international waters, folks.” Tensions between the U.S. and China continue to escalate as a result of the trade war, and sanctions on some Chinese companies. Recently, the Chinese government rejected the U.S. Navy’s request for the USS Wasp to visit the Hong Kong port. Additionally, last week President Trump accused China of trying to interfere in the 2018 elections. “We’re sorting out, obviously, a period with some tension there, trade tension and all, so we’ll get to the bottom of it,” Mattis said last week. “But I don’t think that we’re seeing a fundamental shift in anything. We’re just going through one of those periodic points where we’ve got to learn to manage our differences.”

US subs would be sitting ducks for new Chinese 'Death Star' laser satellite that will be able spot them 1,600ft below the surface

Lasers may be so powerful they will make the sea 'more or less transparent'

The artificial laser beam could be one billion times brighter than he sun

Some experts say this type of deep-sea surveillance is 'mission impossible'

By Phoebe Weston For Mailonline Published: 05:59 EDT, 1 October 2018 | Updated: 12:05 EDT, 1 October 2018

China's new spy satellite 'Project Guanlan' could use lasers to spot submarines up to 1,600ft (500m) below the ocean's surface. These lasers will be so powerful they will make the upper layer of the sea 'more or less transparent', according to scientists involved in the project. Researchers claim these artificial laser beams could be one billion times brighter than the sun. However, some experts say this type of deep-sea surveillance is 'mission impossible' as lasers are fundamentally unable to penetrate that deep. Project Guanlan, which means 'watching the big waves' was launched in May at the Pilot National Laboratory in Qingdao in Shandong, writes South China Morning Post. Its components are being developed by more than 20 universities across the country. For more than half a century naval researchers have been attempting to create a laser using Lidar (a portmanteau of 'light and 'radar.'). In theory when a laser hits an object - such as a submarine - pulses will bounce back and be picked up by sensors, which will be able to determine its shape. According to researchers, this high-powered laser beam is so powerful it would be able to scan an area as wide as 62 miles (100km) on land. It will also be used alongside microwave radar which will scan the surface of the water and identify surface movement. This could be an indication that a submarine is lurking below. Lidar uses ultraviolet, visible, or near infrared light to image objects. It can be used with a wide range of targets, including non-metallic objects, rocks, rain, chemical compounds, aerosols, clouds and even single molecules. However, it is negatively affected by fog, murky water and marine life. It also works less well in water as light scatters when it hits the surface. Researchers say the aim of the project is to strengthen Chinese surveillance. Song Xiaoquan, who is involved in the project, said it will make the upper layers of the ocean 'more or less transparent'. He said it 'will change almost everything'. Dr Xuaiquan said he did not know when the satellite would be ready. However, not everyone is convinced and some say it is 'impossible' to use the technology to look 1,600ft below the ocean's surface. 'They [project researchers] won't be able to break through the darkness guarded by Mother Nature – unless of course they are Tom Cruise, armed with some secret weapons,' one anonymous researcher from the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences told SCMP. WHAT IS LIDAR TECHNOLOGY AND HOW DOES IT WORK? Lidar is a remote sensing technology that measures distance by shooting a laser at a target and analysing the light that is reflected back. The technology was developed in the early 1960s and uses laser imaging with radar technology that can calculate distances. It was first used in meteorology to measure clouds by the National Center for Atmospheric Research. The term lidar is a portmanteau of 'light and 'radar.' Lidar uses ultraviolet, visible, or near infrared light to image objects and can be used with a wide range of targets, including non-metallic objects, rocks, rain, chemical compounds, aerosols, clouds and even single molecules. A narrow laser beam can be used to map physical features with very high resolution. This new technique allowed researchers to map outlines of what they describe as dozens of newly discovered Maya cities hidden under thick jungle foliage centuries after they were abandoned by their original inhabitants. Aircraft with a LiDAR scanner produced three-dimensional maps of the surface by using light in the form of pulsed laser linked to a GPS system. The technology helped researchers discover sites much faster than using traditional archaeological methods.

'Insurmountable Chaos' Can Begin Like This: 'Just One Cough And You Can Have A Catastrophic Chain Of Transmission'

- 1918 'Mother Of All Pandemics' Had One Doctor Say: 'Civilization Could Have Disappeared Within A Few More Weeks'

By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die  October 1, 2018

According to this new story over at City Lab, the Spanish flu outbreak of 1918 was 'the mother of all pandemics' that swept across America and the world in three waves, the first hitting New York city during the spring when residents and doctors thought it was only another round of seasonal flu. While summer arrived with very few casualties, leaving doctors and residents there forgetting all about the spring outbreak, by the time the 2nd wave arrived in September, a process had begun that would leave between 50 and 100 million around the world dead, with October of 1918 one of the deadliest months in the history of our planet. As their story reported, September 15th of 1918 marked a frightening turning point after NY city reported their first death from Spanish flu, one of more than 33,000 to eventually die from it in the city, and their story also pointed out why New York had become the perfect environment for such a deadly flu to carry out its wrath: "In the densely packed metropolis with 5 million people—then the largest population of any city—large families crowded inside small homes, and children and workers crammed inside schools, workshops, and into the subway." And while New York, America and the entire world are much more populated in 2018 than they were in 1918, and much more closely linked with millions of people traveling on airlines between cities and countries every day, the speed at which the virus killed was summed up perfectly by one Victor Vaughan, a doctor within the US Army, who made the following dire prediction according to John Barry, author of the book "The Great Influenza": “Civilization could have disappeared within a few more weeks.” In this new story over at USA Today that Steve Quayle linked to on his website Sunday morning, they report upon the end of September being the anniversary of the 1918 Spanish flu which killed more than twice the amount of people around the world in 24 months than died in 4+ years of World War 1, while warning that everyone agrees such a deadly outbreak will surely one day happen again. Reporting that in the month of October of 1918 alone, an unthinkable 100,000 Americans died, many of them young and healthy adults in the prime of their lives, the first sentence of the USA Today story held back no punches: "One hundred years ago, death came with astonishing speed and horrifying agony." As we had reported on ANP back on September 7th, according to one doctor who treated patients during the sudden pandemic outbreak, "it killed violently, and struck down the most healthy people suddenly, as if they had been shot". And as we also reported within that story, back in 2005, the US government published the entire genome of the 1918 Spanish flu online. From that story: All the way back on September 7th of 2005, the NY Times published a story titled simply "Recipe For Destruction" within which the authors began: AFTER a decade of painstaking research, federal and university scientists have reconstructed the 1918 influenza virus that killed 50 million people worldwide (ANP: Current estimates are that up to 100 million died). Like the flu viruses (then in 2005) raising alarm bells in Asia, the 1918 virus was a bird flu that jumped directly to humans, the scientists reported. To shed light on how the virus evolved, the United States Department of Health and Human Services published the full genome of the 1918 influenza virus on the Internet in the GenBank database. With the story authors warning then how extremely foolish it was for the US government to publish the genome online as they essentially permitted the design for a weapon of mass destruction to be published for anyone to see and use, their story then went on to explain why doing so could lead straight to catastrophe with labs around the world having the ability to culture it.: No responsible scientist would advocate publishing precise designs for an atomic bomb, and in two ways revealing the sequence for the flu virus is even more dangerous. First, it would be easier to create and release this highly destructive virus from the genetic data than it would be to build and detonate an atomic bomb given only its design, as you don't need rare raw materials like plutonium or enriched uranium. Synthesizing the virus from scratch would be difficult, but far from impossible. An easier approach would be to modify a conventional flu virus with the eight unique and now published genes of the 1918 killer virus. Second, release of the virus would be far worse than an atomic bomb. Analyses have shown that the detonation of an atomic bomb in an American city could kill as many as one million people. Release of a highly communicable and deadly biological virus could kill tens of millions, with some estimates in the hundreds of millions. A Science staff writer, Jocelyn Kaiser, said, "Both the authors and Science's editors acknowledge concerns that terrorists could, in theory, use the information to reconstruct the 1918 flu virus." And yet the journal required that the full genome sequence be made available on the GenBank database as a condition for publishing the paper. So in this day and age of CRISPR gene editing technology as close by as an Amazon delivery and terrorists announcing they'd like to weaponize a killer virus to cause maximum deaths across the planet, was it really wise to publish that genome online for absolutely anybody to potentially get a hold of? As we see in the graphic above, the 1918 Spanish flu really kicked off in the US and around the world during the first week of October, spiking to catastrophic death numbers by the end of October before rapidly declining almost as quickly as the casualty numbers began spiking. While according to the CDC, peak flu months are between December and March here in the US, Fortune reports that the US Food and Drug Administration has just announced that the 2018-2019 'flu season' has officially begun with their story warning that last year's flu killed 80,000 people, the highest influenza death toll in 40 years, leaving many questioning just how effective the flu shot really is. And while we'll avoid the flu shot as if it were the plague and instead will continue to keep ourselves healthy through natural means, using raw, chopped garlic as our go-to with it being a kill-all antibiotic, antiviral, antiparasitic, antibacterial and anti-fungal, we're not surprised that the vaccine vampires are once again pushing the flu shot with 'flu season' having begun despite the CDC admitting some who died from the flu in 2017 had gotten the flu shot, anyways. The following critically important excerpt from this 2010 Natural News story is information that every American should know, especially in this day and age of antibiotic resistance. This could save lives. Too often when people are sick, they just don't know what to do. More and more people are starting to distrust doctors and their drugs, but in a time of illness or infection they're unsure where to turn. Unfortunately, this uncertainty leads many people to doctors' offices for drugs that ultimately do more harm than good. So, here's some simple advice: if you need something that functions like an antibiotic, turn to garlic instead. Garlic is a powerful, natural antibiotic - and it doesn't kill off our healthy bacteria like drug antibiotics do. Unlike chemical antibiotics, garlic is also an effective antiviral and antifungal - and taking just a few cloves of garlic each day can really speed infections away. In one small trial, seven AIDS patients all had normal T-cell activity after three months of taking the equivalent of two or four garlic cloves each day - and T-cell activity is a key indicator of the AIDS infection. While AIDS may not be your infliction, as one of the most dreaded conditions around, it's helpful to use it to demonstrate the powerful effects of garlic. The patients also showed improvement with other problems like chronic diarrhea, candida overgrowth, genital herpes and a chronic sinus infection. Garlic has also been found to be helpful for conditions including diabetes, high blood pressure, allergies, infections, toothaches, cancer, impotence, colds, heart disease, MRSA, and high cholesterol. And a one month supply is a few bucks at your local organic market. The fact that garlic is able to help with so many seemingly unrelated problems also demonstrates how connected different diseases are. The medical establishment likes to isolate diseases and target each with different drugs - just because they produce different symptoms and occur in different areas of the body. But the root causes of diseases that can appear very different are often the same. It's all far more intertwined than you might think. (ANP: This next excerpt is EXTREMELY important!!!) For garlic to be effective as a healing agent and general antibiotic, it needs to be raw. It should also be crushed and exposed to air for ten minutes before it's consumed to fully activate its key germ-killing compound. And don't worry; raw garlic doesn't have to taste awful. A simple recipe is to juice four cloves of garlic, two tomatoes, and a lemon to make a delicious antibacterial and antiviral drink. If you don't have a juicer, simply toss the ingredients into a blender and make a tomato and garlic soup. To either, just add some sea salt; it'll be delicious. If you have an infection, you can enjoy several of these drinks or soups each day to battle it away without the use of chemical antibiotics that are known to destroy our protective healthy bacteria - often in one fell swoop. While the exact location of where the outbreak began in 1918 has never been officially determined, historians agree that it was largely spread across the planet due to World War 1 and quite literally millions of soldiers traveling from place to place. As CBC recently reported in a story title appropriately beginning with "Insurmountable Chaos", 2 soldiers stopping in Winnipeg, Canada in 1918 eventually led to the deaths of more than 1,200 there from the Spanish flu and due to the sudden deadly onslaught, the medical community was powerless to do anything about it. Causing serious social and economic devastation, the lessons of the 1918 flu pandemic can be valuable learning experiences for all of us in 2018, whether or not the much talked about 'disease X' arrives or not. As the Sun reported back on September 21st, the next global pandemic could be much deadlier than the Spanish flu with death toll estimates as high as 400 million or more worldwide. And as we see detailed below and within the first video at the bottom of this story, the sudden arrival of the Spanish flu quite literally led to the end of life as they knew it for millions of Americans and people across the planet as much travel was halted and public assemblies banned. As the Seattle Daily Times reported back in 1918, the deadly pandemic forced the shuttering of nearly all public gatherings across much of the country and while NY city was one of the few to keep schools open, what happened in 1918 is clear proof of how quickly life as we know it can come to a complete standstill should a deadly pandemic strike. Giving awakened Americans another reason to prepare ahead of time rather than being caught with the masses attempting to purchase food and other supplies at stores that will likely be shuttered should a pandemic begin, imagine 2018 America being slammed with the kind of virus that sickened a full 25% of the country and led to the drop in average life expectancy of Americans by 12 years in one year alone. With researchers now thinking about the collapse of society and how to prepare for it as Bloomberg Businessweek reports in this new story subtitled "How to Adapt to the End of the World" giving us another sign that indeed the 'elite' are prepping for something huge, preppers should all be in the position to wall ourselves off from the rest of society for at least a month to ride out the storm in that worst case scenario. Like in the movie "Contagion", as we hear in the 1st video below, a video which takes a historical look at the 1918 Spanish flu and a speculative look at what might happen should the hypothetical 'disease X' that the World Health Organization has been warning about suddenly breakout across the planet, all it takes is one cough to start a catastrophic chain of transmissions. And with the world now much more closely linked than it was in 1918, and a potential pandemic arriving on airplanes at any point in time should a worst-case scenario come about like it did 100 years ago, the USA Today reminds us that pandemics ignore national borders, social class, economic status, and even age, proving to us once again we have so much more in common with each other that unite us than differences that divide us in the eyes of time and history. The 2nd and final video below from the History Channel titled "After Armageddon" takes a look at what America might look like should that 'worst case scenario' come true and a pandemic break out across the country.

Everything You Need to Know About Those “Expiration Dates” on Your Food

By Meadow Clark

Have you ever wondered what the real expiration dates are for your pantry food? Have you ever wondered whether your food was safe to eat past the “expiration date?” Fear not. There is no more need to throw away perfectly good food over a little date stamp. The problem is – people are throwing canned or packaged goods away on a false perception that the date means expiration. In other words, they fear that the product could be spoiled or unsafe. More on that in a bit. I visited someone once who was chucking nearly a hundred cans and boxes of food – right into the garbage, no joke. This person really believed that all the food had expired and was unsafe to eat. As though the food had already “gone off.” I pleaded with the person that the food could go to someone hungry but they argued that a food bank would examine the dates and throw them away. If you see food banks throwing away expired cans – or even sealed packaged goods, please tell them that the USDA has recommended that people can still donate food that’s older than the stamped date. Even stores are allowed to sell food weeks and months beyond their “past” dates. (Source) So, anyway, I did what anyone would do when they were assured that safe food is about to be senselessly wasted – I gathered all the food in big black Hefty bags and walked out of there like a reverse Santa Claus scenario. We waste so much food. Americans waste an average of $2,000 worth of food each year in some form or another. (Though I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who wastes nearly $200 of food each month!) Another source says Americans waste one pound of food a day, and that it takes 30 million acres of cropland to produce that food. It’s not just average Americans who are involved with food waste, however. Much of our country’s food is wasted before it ever reaches our dinner tables. One of the ways food is wasted is right in the field. An estimated 20% of crops never make it off the field – they rot. You may have heard about “ugly produce.” That’s warped looking produce that never makes it to the grocery store even though it’s perfectly good to eat. Thankfully, there are finally grocery stores popping up devoted to selling the “ugly” produce so that it doesn’t go to waste. Can you believe the UN is pushing for people to eat crickets and maggots when we have all this perfectly good food that simply gets wasted? True story. The Stamped Dates on Foods Are Estimated Guesses for Freshness Did you know that expiration dates are only required by the FDA for infant formula? The USDA assures that manufacturers are providing dating as a way to help consumers decide food freshness and quality – it has nothing to do with product safety. Nada. Zip. Real expiration dates are rarely found on canned goods. It is only consumer perception that continues to drive a fear of eating food after its “past” date. The dates on canned goods are a suggestion for quality. After all, if there was no date on the can at all, it could be 100 years old by the time you eat it and you’d never know. All of that food that you have stashed away in your prepper pantry will most likely be delicious for a long time after the date you find stamped on the container. What do the following terms mean on your food? Here’s a quick guide to the dates you see stamped on your food. Best if Used By/Best Before: An indication of best flavor and/quality. Again, this is not a safety date.  Sell-By: This date is for the store. It tells the store how long to display the product for sale and it’s for inventory management. Still not a safety date.  Use-By: This date is the last date recommended to use the product while at peak quality. Not a safety date except when it is used on infant formula. Guaranteed Fresh: Just a date for the consumer to know when they should use up the product.  In nearly every case, you can continue using food – especially canned food – significantly past the date on the product since it has nothing to do with actual expiration. Some states require that milk and other perishables be sold before the expiration date. According to the Canned Food Alliance, …canned food (when kept at relatively stable temperatures) will remain at peak quality for at least two years after it’s been processed. They note that while food in cans “retains its safety and nutritional value well beyond two years,” its color and texture may change after that time. Many factors affect how long a food will stay edible in the can, but food kept at “moderate temperatures [75 degrees or below]” may last indefinitely. But others believe that canned food lasts much longer, perhaps only losing negligible amounts of nutrition over the years. After all, the idea of canned food in the first place is to be non-perishable. “Canned foods do not expire on a certain date. One cannot say that the canned food is good on one day and not good the next day. Canned foods are under a vacuum. The absence of oxygen helps to extend the shelf life of canned foods.” -Ron Giles, Quality Assurance Director of Goya Foods, Inc. The un-safest thing about canned goods whether they are before or after their best-by dates is the Bisphenol A (BPA) that is used to line that metal of the can as a barrier between the metal and food. Although the food industry claims BPA is for product safety, recent research is starting to show that BPA is a hormone disruptor that is linked to obesity. Here Are Some Real Food “Expiration” Times Remember, expiration typically means spoilage to people. But these dates only represent the best quality. The food and drink on this list may still be perfectly fine after the dates listed. However, this will let you know when to rotate the food in your pantry. This short list should serve as general “eat by” date. The times listed represent the length of time you can wait to eat something, past the printed date on the product.

Honey – Indefinite

Beans, dried – Indefinite

Peanut Butter – 1 year in pantry, if it’s natural then it only lasts 3 months in pantry and 6 months in fridge

Raw eggs in shell – 3 to 5 weeks

Coffee, ground – 3-5 months in pantry

Coffee, whole bean – 6-9 months in pantry

Coffee, any type, frozen – 1-3 years (whole bean lasts longer)

Milk, frozen – 3 months

Dairy Alternatives – 7 – 10 days after opening

Bottled Juice – 7 – 10 days after opening, in pantry – 3-9 months

Nut butters – 3 months (cashew) to 1 year (almond)

Pasta Sauce – 1-2 years in pantry, 7-10 days in fridge, opened

Cream sauces, commercially jarred – up to 12 months in pantry, 7-10 days opened in fridge

Pasta, dry packaged – 1-2 years

Olive oil – 2 years, still safe but taste and quality could be affected

Olives, jar – 1-2 years in pantry, 3-4 months opened, in fridge

Cookies – 4 – 6 months

Beer – 6 months – 9 months in pantry. 6 months – 2 years in fridge.

Homemade bread – 3 days on counter, best to store in freezer.

Ice Cream – Up to 3 months, 4 months for sherbert

High-Acid Canned Foods like tomatoes, canned juices, pickles etc – 12 – 18 months

Canned Foods – 2 – 5 years or more

Bottled water – the water itself doesn’t expire, but the bottle will break down within 2 years.

Cheese – I’ve known people to store cheese in their fridge for months at a time. Our grandparents’ generation simply cut off any mold from the surface and continued eating the cheese. But it will sharpen with age, so maybe it’s a good idea to buy mild and let it age in your fridge. General Rule – a lot of things last up to 2 years in a pantry, but liquids, sauces, and juices typically last only 7-10 days once they are opened and stored in a fridge. So saving that half-jar of pasta sauce for next month is not a good idea because you can’t see mold roots when they first begin. #1 Tip – Create a meal plan to use up leftover portions to use in a different meal for that same week. That way, you never have to spend time wondering if it’s still safe to eat. Obviously, if any cans are bloated, they need to be disposed of immediately since bloated cans are a distinctive sign of deadly botulism and other bacteria. Dents in cans may cause the barrier in the lining between the can and the food to break down, theoretically causing bacteria to grow. Try not to buy dented cans in the first place! Never Throw Away Good Food Again If you love the idea of frugally using up your foods – and doing it in style, then you’ll want to get acquainted with this site: Eat By Date Look up by food or by shelf-life and check here before you chuck your food. It shows you how long the food will last beyond the printed date. Also Read – The Truth About That Expiration Date on Your Vitamins and Medications Bottom Line… Friends don’t let friends throw away canned and packaged foods. It doesn’t belong in a garbage bin or a landfill because it can provide a truly hungry person with the calories they need to survive. If you see someone chucking perfectly good food – say something. Do you eat the food in your pantry after the date stamped on it? Have your experiences been good or bad? Let us know in the comments below.

The Democratic Party’s Unfolding Coup Against Trump Dramatically Parallels Hitler’s Rise to Power-Stunning and Undeniable!

Modestly, I recall some comments from some of our followers in which I have been asked if I have some kind of crystal ball. The answer is “of course not”. However, I do know my history and our country is traveling down a very familiar road. The parallels of how Hitler came to power, murdered the opposition and used a major false flag to consolidate power along with the establishment of state sponsored genocide, is present in today’s American political landscape. I may not have a crystal ball, but I do the play book of the globalists. They are following, almost to the letter, what the Nazis did to take over the German government over seven decades ago. And it makes sense when one considers the fact that DHS was created by the head of the East German Stasi, Marcus Wolfe. And the leader of the violent Democratic Party action groups (eg Antifa) is the creation of a former Nazi collaborator, George Soros. History Speaks Will America Listen? On September 27, 2018, I wrote the following: The GOP is afraid of its own shadow. They are afraid to investigate illegal alien voter fraud because of the backlash from the left. And these fears are well-founded. First, we witnessed Sarah Huckabee Sanders being refused service. Now, this leftist harassment has grown to the point where Senator Ted Cruz and his wife had to literally run from the threat of physical danger. Assassinations are next. Within four days, this observation culminated in the realization that we are ready to see an “open season” on conservatives, all conservatives. A Conversation with Mike Adams Mike Adams and myself had a lengthy conversation which turned into an interview which will be released soon. I want to highlight and isolate a small portion of our conversation. Ironically, Mike and myself were working on the same exact specific issue at the same exact time. I wrote a fictional account of a successful coup against President Trump. In the fictional account, Kavanaugh was assassinated and the Hodges family was hauled off to a FEMA camp when it came time to eliminate resistance to the new regime as it consolidated power. On the other hand, and on the same day, Mike Adams wrote about how assassination was going to be the centerpiece of short-term political change. Mike documented the doxxing of Republicans supporting Trump and the Kavanaugh nomination. Presumably, Rep. Maxine Waters released the home addresses of key conservative Republicans. And of course, Left wing Democratic Socialists, led by the modern-day Goebbels, George Soros, were advocating for the assassination of these public figures in social media, most notably on Twitter. And I might add, the social media tech giants were fine with the content and the threats were not met with censorship or any form of disapproval. The social tech giants are acting like the Nazis prior to Hitler’s takeover. They are tolerating threats from the left against conservative politicians and conservative talk show hosts. History has been down this road before. Please allow me to be clear. When Mike Adams mentioned doxxing, he is clearly referring to the creation of a kill list. The radical left is pursuing a political strategy that has occurred before and it fits hand in glove with the rise of the Nazi Party. Pleases allow me to quote a socialist version of history regarding how Hitler came to power and intersperse the socialist version of history with contemporary parallels. The comparisons are both stunning and frightening. From the quarterly review Journal named International Socialism: Brutal attacks and murders of well-known anti-fascist activists followed immediately after Hitler’s ascension to power.  Editor’s Note: The Deep State dominance, the shadow government if you will, is the equivalent of Hitler rising to power. Where does one think the former Nazi collaborator, George Soros, got the idea for the creation of the violent radical group we call Antifa? Ms-13 are the assassins of choice for the drug cartels. Why did Obama and his DHS allow MS-13 to gain a foothold in America? Draw your own conclusion, but the answer is obvious to anyone who has eyes to see. This validates both Mike Adams and the CSS’ position that political assassinations are very close. Hit most quickly and most heavily by Nazi repression was the Communist Party (KPD). Nazi thugs stormed and closed the KPD headquarters, the Karl Liebknecht House, on 23 February 1933 and banned their newspaper, Die Rote Fahne, a few days later. Editor’s note: In this parallel, the 1930’s Communists are the equivalent today’s conservative Republicans in that they are targeted by the left. Please note how the Nazis used censorship and how it looks like and smells like what we are witnessing today where most people get their news which is the now heavily censored Internet. In this analogy, the Communists became the endangered species of the 1930’s while today, conservative Republicans and talk show hosts fill that role. I have no doubt, that radical left is coming for us. The burning of parliament on 27 February was used to justify yet another wave of terror against the left. Editor’s Note: Also note how a major false flag event was used to justify the solidification of political power. This lies in our immediate future should the Democratic Socialist Party seize control of the House and/or the Senate in the upcoming midterm elections. A major false flag will be perpetrated and conservative forces, just like the 1930’s Communists will be blamed. Thus, will begin the greatest and most murderous purge in American history. Over 1,500 Communists were arrested that night in Berlin alone. Unable to fit so many political prisoners into the existing prison system, the Nazis erected the first concentration camps during this wave of repression. Editor’s note: Please note that the original use of the concentration camps was to kill off the political opposition, not to murder the Jews. That came later. And some wonder why the CSS dedicates so much attention to the nature of FEMA camps. Please take note of how history demonstrates how the new Nazi regime sought to consolidate power by the construction of the 1930’s version of FEMA camps. This is exactly how the left will bring FEMA camps into existence. On the CSS, I used to interview Larry Grathwohl about Bill Ayers and his Communist organization the Weatherman Underground. My listeners learned that the Weatherman Underground and Obama benefactor, Bill Ayers, told the late FBI Special informant, Larry Grathwohl who had penetrated the Weatherman, that when they won control of the government, “the Weatherman would have to imprison 50 million Americans and kill over 25 million of them”. By the way, Bill Ayers is now working on the Calexit plan for California to exit the Union as a protectorate of the United Nations. Of course, the purpose of doxxing and subsequent assassination is to intimidate the political opposition and to create huge gaps in opposition leadership that can be exploited. Mike Adams and myself feel that this will culminate in a purge of conservatives in leadership positions. In fact, in the past week, both Maxine Waters and California Governor, Jerry Brown, made assassination threats against President Trump. Conclusion  I am certain that many are wondering what kind of false flag event will parallel the Reichstag fire? I will soon be releasing an interview I did with Paul Martin in which a clearer picture of the intent of the left is coming into view with regard to their choice of a false flag event(s). Both Mike Adams and I agree that if the left can win the midterms, the need for violence is lessened. However, if Kavanaugh is confirmed and the left loses the midterm elections, it will be open season on America. And if the Democratic Socialists gain control of our government, the body count of Civil War II will far exceed Civil War I.

The Circus At The End Of The World: Things Are About To Get Down And Dirty In The USA

- If Democrats Win House/Senate In Midterms, It Will Be Game Over For President Trump And Our Late, Great Republic

By William B Stoecker - All News Pipeline October 1, 2018

Punctuated by the high-pitched shrieking of the Twisted Sisters of Perpetual Outrage, the Kavanaugh hearings soon (and predictably) degenerated into a pathetic farce not worthy of the great nation we once were. A Demoncrap woman represented by a Demoncrap lawyer who has been photographed with the Witch Hillary accused Kavanaugh of groping her at a party, where she clearly remembers having precisely one beer but does not remember when or where the party was, how she got there, or how she got home. The witnesses she claimed were present all say they were not. She delayed the hearings because, she said, she was afraid to fly to them from the West Coast, but it turns out she flies a lot, with no apparent fear, and, furthermore, she was already on the East Coast when the hearings began. Other “victims” of Kavanaugh have come forward with ever more bizarre and dubious stories…expect the trend to continue. The Demoncraps are on a roll and in their element (lies and slander and rampant hypocrisy). The hearings have been delayed yet again by the betrayal by Jeff Flake, who has called for the seventh FBI investigation of Kavanaugh by the FBI. Seven? Really? And of course, we all trust the corrupt and politicized FBI, don’t we? Except for a rare display of what appeared to be sincere outrage by (of all people) Lindsey Graham, the Republicans have played their usual game of assuming the position when the Demoncraps attack. And attack they do, regarding politics as war while the timid and unprincipled Republicans apparently see it as some gentlemanly game. These hearings may drag on until the mid-terms, when the Demoncraps may win the House and/or the Senate. Then it will be game over for Kavanaugh, Trump, and our late, great Republic. But maybe the game was over years ago. Kavanaugh is an establishment player, not a patriot, a Yale graduate (and a Bonesman?) who helped cover up the murder of Vince Foster. As for the Donald, he continues to be just about to build the wall (while signing a spending bill that financed Planned “Parenthood” and not a wall) and he will fire Little Jeff and Rosenslime any day now, and release the documents proving, among other things, that the FISA warrant was obtained illegally. But he has already back pedaled from his promise to declassify the documents, and has assured Little Jeff that he won’t fire him until after the mid-terms, if ever. For a while it looked as if Rosenslime was about to be fired or forced to resign, but that, too, was an illusion. The FBI and DOJ will never be cleaned out and the Witch Hillary, Hussein Obama, and the other arch criminals will never see justice…at least not in this world. And the endless wars continue, and we continue to tweak the nose of the Bear, with a nuclear arsenal bigger than our own. That could end very, very badly. I suppose that if Lindsey Graham can, for once in his life, generate real moral outrage, perhaps Trump can and will see the light and set America back on course. We’d all like to believe that…but it is becoming very hard to believe anything anymore. Of late, some conservative pundits who should have known better have been assuring us that Trump is playing a Machiavellian game against the Deep State operatives, and that he is just giving Rosenslime and company enough rope to hang themselves, at which point “military tribunals” will sentence them all to death, including the Witch Hillary and Hussein Obama. Yes, and we’ll all be raptured into Heaven and the archangel Michael will behead all the bad guys with his mighty sword, and Santa Claus will bring me a new assault rifle that I won’t need anymore. I would remind everyone that the military, much as we all admire the martial virtues, are part of the Deep State, and even as far back as WWII, General George Marshall almost certainly helped set us up for Pearl Harbor, and Marshall and General Stilwell orchestrated the betrayal of China to the communists. Much as I would like to be proven wrong, there will be no military tribunals, and if Trump has not acted boldly and decisively by now he isn’t going to. Little Jeff and Rosenslime should have been fired over a year ago, just for openers. The Witch should have been indicted by now. It didn’t happen. So now, with the Demoncraps foaming at the mouth like the hyenas they are smelling blood, we are headed to the mid-terms. You might think that the disgusting circus of the Kavanaugh hearings would cost the left a good deal of their support, or the antics of the repulsive Black racist, Maxine Waters (who has apparently “doxxed” some Republican senators). And why would any White man (or even any White woman) continue to support a party that openly despises the entire White race? For the left have abandoned any moral standards they might once have had, and are, literally, insane. They have entered the terminal phase of their madness. The Demoncrap leaders have repeatedly and openly admitted their contempt for the majority of the people, referring to us as “bitter clingers,” a “basket of deplorables,”and the like, with Grinning Joe Biden recently saying that we are all pretty much the scum of the Earth. But the well of human stupidity, while not bottomless, is very deep, so they will never lack for supporters. And it is impossible to have free and fair elections when one side (the left) has most of the money, controls most of the media, and controls the indoc centers formerly known as “schools” and “universities.” And they have imported tens of millions of Demoncrap voters from countries that hate America as much as our own leftists hate America. When all else fails they resort to blatant vote fraud, which is why they oppose “racist” voter ID. So they may win control of at least one branch of Congress and block any attempts by Trump to do the right thing (assuming that he knows or cares what the right thing is). But meanwhile, underneath the surface of human consciousness, something else is happening, and the leftists will be the last people to realize it. Over the years I have watched as mainstream Republican conservatives like Ann Coulter and Joseph Farah have become disillusioned with the RINOs and have admitted (without using the dreaded C word…conspiracy) that a small elite control both parties at the top, and this group is international and dedicated to totalitarian rule. A few years ago on Fox, Lew Dobbs spoke of the “elites,” and the context of his remarks made it clear that he was speaking of the group the Birchers call the “insiders.” More recently, Ann Coulter and Tucker Carlson, while avoiding the C word, have spoken openly of the NWO conspiracy and its control of most of the media and academia. And Carlson and others now speak openly of the “Deep State.” A few years ago only we conspiracy researchers warned about what we then called the “Shadow Government.” Greater and greater numbers of people, perhaps by now exceeding a third of the US population, are fully aware of what is at stake and who is behind most of the evil in the world. And as people’s awareness increases, so does their anger. People like Dan Bongino on Fox used to make an effort to be polite to the yapping leftists who appear regularly even on Carlson’s show, but now he makes no attempt to hide his contempt for the enemy. The left has counted on our remaining non-violent and playing their game by their rules. But we are about to begin playing by the real set of rules of self defense. If one of Maxine Waters’ zombies gets in your face and attempts to strike you, self defense allows you to punch him (or her) first. If one of them draws a knife and threatens to stab you, self defense in most of America allows you to draw a gun to protect yourself and your family. If events continue along the same path they're on, things are about to get down and dirty in the USA.

Flash flooding and heavy rain to lash Southwest U.S. as Hurricane Rosa heads north after battering Mexico

The U.S. National Hurricane Center says Rosa should still be at tropical storm force when it hits the Baja California Peninsula Monday

It will bring 2 to 4 inches of rain to the Mogollon Rim of Arizona and 1 to 2 inches to the rest of the desert Southwest, Central Rockies and Great Basin

Rosa still had maximum sustained winds of 85 mph early Sunday, and classed as a Category 1 Hurricane

By Associated Press and Hannah Parry For Dailymail.com Published: 08:20 EDT, 30 September 2018 | Updated: 21:42 EDT, 30 September 2018

Hurricane Rosa is heading north from Mexico, bringing widespread heavy rain, flash flooding to southwest US. The U.S. National Hurricane Center says Rosa should still be at tropical storm force when it hits the Baja California Peninsula Monday with flooding rains. It's then expected to move quickly northwestward as it weakens, bringing 2 to 4 inches of rain to the Mogollon Rim of Arizona and 1 to 2 inches to the rest of the desert Southwest, Central Rockies and Great Basin. Some isolated areas might be more. Rosa still had maximum sustained winds of 85 mph early Sunday, and classed as a Category 1 Hurricane, and it was centered about 355 miles southwest of Punta Eugenia in Mexico. It was heading north at 12 mph. Rosa will also bring up to 10 inches of rain in parts of Mexico on Monday. The rainfall in southern Nevada and Arizona and across the Southwest could spark dangerous flash flooding, or even landslides in the desert, experts warned ABC News. Forecasters are warning against anyone stepping out in the desert on foot during the tropical rainstorm as sandy, dusty canyons could very quickly become raging rivers or dust storms. In Southern California, half an inch rainfalls - the first of the season - are expected which could cause minor debris flows and slick roadways. The rainfall is expected to hit Arizona late Sunday and early Monday, before the rain becomes more widespread into the middle of the week. Meanwhile, much of the central and eastern U.S. is expected to experience a warm October in the 80s, with New York expected to reach 80 degrees on Tuesday.

Worldwide volcanic eruption updates: Krakatau (Indonesia), Manam (Papua New Guinea), Piton de la Fournaise (Reunion Island) Fuego and Pacaya (Guatemala), Karymsky (Russia)

By Strange Sounds - Oct 1, 2018

Besides the devastating M7.5 earthquake and tsunami in Palu, Indonesia, many volcanoes are being caught erupting around the globe. Here the latest volcanic eruptions:

Manam volcano eruption – September 30, 2018 An eruption was recorded on the island of Manam in Papua New Guinea on September 30, 2018 as shown by the VAAC Darwin Volcanic ash advisory of October 1, the orange aviation code, and thermal anomalies of 6,326 and 7,135 MW reported by the Mirova satellite: VA ADVISORY DTG: 20181001 / 0330Z VAAC: DARWIN VOLCANO: MANAM 251020

PSN: S0405 E14502 AREA: PAPUA NEW GUINEA SUMMIT ELEV: 1807M ADVISORY NR: 2018/28 SOURCE INFO: HIMAWARI-8 AVIATION COLOR CODE: ORANGE ERUPTION DETAILS: CONTINUOUS WEAK VA EMISSION TO FL090 EXT WNW AND FL140 EXT SW OBS VA DTG: 01 / 0330Z Here a long video about the eruption of Manam volcano that has devastated the island a few months ago: Eruption of Piton de la Fournaise, Reunion Island There is a ongoing eruption at Piton de la Fournaise since September 15, 2018. Apart from a slight increase on September 30th early afternoon, the intensity of the volcanic tremor (indicator of eruptive intensity at the surface) has remained relatively stable over the last 24 hours. The surface flows, estimated from satellite data, was less than 2 m3/s over the last 24 hours. However, since most of the eruptive activity currently occurs in lava tunnels, detection of anomalous hot spots are increasingly difficult and therefore these flow values ​​are most probably underrated. Moreover, the cloudy weather hinders the acquisition of satellite data. Now just for your eyes, here a video captured by Thierry Sluys of the eruptions on September 15th and 18th. Awesome Meanwhile, Karymsky volcano exploded sending an ash plume more than 3,000 meters asl., before dispersing over 116km in the ESE direction. Moderate eruptive activity continues, and ash explosions can still occur and affect low-level flights. Fuego and Pacaya volcanoes erupt in Guatemala The explosive activity of the Fuego volcano increased during the evening of September 29, 2018, with 10 to 15 hourly explosions ejecting ash plumes at 4,400 – 4,700 meters asl. Tremors and degassing blasts sounding like aircraft turbine sounds were reported on the southwestern flank of the volcanic peak. Ash falls are reported on San Pedro Yepocapa, Finca Palo Verde, Morelia, and Panimache. A possibility of lava flows and of a new eruption is possible in the next hours. Meanwhile, the strombolian activity continues at Pacaya volcano, with occasional explosions 50 meters above the crater and lava flows – between 300 and 700 meters – towards Cerro Chino. Krakatau eruption in Indonesia To finish this volcanic update, here a powerful video showing the intense volcanic activity of Krakatau on September 15, 2018: Take care, be ready and get prepared! The next catastrophic event could hit right were you live.

Astonishing moment a building 'floats' past after tremors LIQUEFY the ground, swallowing 1,700 homes in Indonesia as mass grave is dug for more than a THOUSAND victims

WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT

A 7.5 magnitude earthquake caused a massive tsunami to crash into Indonesia's Sulawesi island on Friday

Cities of Palu and Donggala were badly hit with enormous 20ft waves sweeping through entire communities

Death toll has risen to more than 1,200 but there are fears hundreds more are trapped in mud or in buildings

Footage shows 'liquefaction' of the ground with some 1,700 homes swallowed up in rivers of mud and soil

Indonesian officials have prepared a 330ft-long grave in Palu with space for more than a thousand victims

In the district of Sigi, 34 children attending a Christian camp were found dead under tsunami debris

By Julian Robinson for MailOnline and Ap and Afp Published: 03:38 EDT, 1 October 2018 | Updated: 19:20 EDT, 1 October 2018

This is the astonishing moment a building 'floated' along a river of mud after the devastating Indonesian earthquake liquefied the ground. Hundreds are feared trapped in mud and 1,700 homes were 'swallowed up' on the island of Sulawesi after tremors turned water-filled soil in to mush in a phenomenon known as liquefaction. Terrifying footage, filmed from the metal roof of a house, shows large buildings and electricity pylons moving past after being ripped from their foundations. The clip emerged as the death toll from the disaster climbed to more than 1,200 and officials prepared a mass grave with space for hundreds of victims of Friday's earthquake and tsunami. Workers were seen hauling body bags into the 330ft-long tomb in Palu. Meanwhile, reports have emerged of looters raiding collapsed shopping malls and hundreds of convicts escaping the ruins of their prison. In the district of Sigi, 34 children were found dead under tsunami debris. They were all attending a Christian camp, Indonesian Red Cross spokeswoman Aulia Arriani said. A 38-year-old man was pulled out alive from beneath a collapsed building three days after the 7.5 earthquake and 500mph tsunami devastated the city of Palu. Indonesian TV stations showed video from the National Search and Rescue Agency of its workers freeing Sapri Nusin from the rubble of a destroyed finance building. He was conscious and talking to his rescuers as they worked by flashlight. Footage shows the astonishing moment a building 'floated' along a river of mud after the deadly Indonesian earthquake and tsunami liquefied the ground Hundreds are feared trapped in mud and 1,700 homes were 'swallowed up' on the island of Sulawesi after tremors turned water-filled soil in to mush in a phenomenon known as liquefaction. The terrifying clip emerged as the death toll from the disaster climbed to more than 1,200 and officials prepared a mass grave with space for hundreds of earthquake and tsunami victims Officials could be seen hauling body bags into the 330ft-long tomb in Palu after the city on the island of Sulawesi was devastated by 20ft waves and tremors so powerful they turned the ground to liquid In response, President Joko Widodo opened the door to the dozens of international aid agencies and NGOs who are lined up to provide life-saving assistance. Britain will send a team of five aid workers to Sulawesi along with £2 million of support to help the thousands left homeless, the Department for International Development (DfID) confirmed. This morning, Local Army Commander Tiopan Aritonang said 545 bodies would be brought from one hospital alone to a mass grave in Palu. The grave will be 33 ft by 330 ft and can be enlarged if needed, said Willem Rampangilei, chief of Indonesia's National Disaster Mitigation Agency. 'This must be done as soon as possible for health and religious reasons,' he said. Indonesia is majority Muslim, and religious custom calls for burials soon after death, typically within one day. Local military spokesman Mohammad Thorir said the area adjacent to a public cemetery can hold 1,000 bodies. All of the victims, coming from local hospitals, have been photographed to help families locate where their relatives were buried. Video footage showed residents walking from body bag to body bag, opening the top to check to see if they could identify faces. Around midday, teams of workers, their mouths covered by masks, carried 18 bagged bodies and laid them in a trench at Poboya - in the hills above Palu. Mechanical earth-movers waited to push soil on top of the bodies. More burials are expected to follow with authorities desperate to stave off any disease outbreak caused by decomposing bodies. Military and commercial aircraft were delivering some aid and supplies to the region. But there was a desperate need for heavy equipment to reach possible survivors buried in collapsed buildings, including an eight-story hotel in Palu where voices were heard in the rubble. A 25-year-old woman was found alive Sunday evening in the ruins of the Roa-Roa Hotel, according to the National Search and Rescue Agency, which released photos of the her lying on a stretcher covered in a blanket. A number of other survivors were still being found and a few were being pulled from buildings in different locations. Desperate survivors turned to looting shops for basics like food, water and fuel as police looked on, unwilling or unable to intervene. 'There has been no aid, we need to eat. We don't have any other choice, we must get food,' one man in Palu told AFP as he filled a basket with goods from a nearby store. Television pictures showed scores of residents shouting 'we're hungry, we need food' as soldiers distributed rations from a truck in one neighbourhood, while footage from elsewhere showed people making off with clothes and other items from a wrecked mall. Local television said around 3,000 residents had flocked to the Palu airport trying to get out. Footage showed some people screaming in anger because they were not able to board departing military aircraft. 'We have not eaten for three days!' one woman yelled. 'We just want to be safe!' Meanwhile, some 1,200 Indonesian convicts are on the run from three different detention facilities in devastated Sulawesi. One prison in Palu - built to hold just 120 people - saw most of its 581 inmates storm past guards and escape to freedom through walls collapsed by the massive 7.5 magnitude shake. 'Things were initially fine...but not long after the quake, water erupted from under the prison yard causing prisoners to panic and then run onto the road,' said Ministry of Justice official Sri Puguh Utami, adding that the water was not from the tsunami. 'I'm sure they escaped because they feared they would be affected by the earthquake. 'This is for sure a matter of life and death for the prisoners,' she added. Inmates had fled from another overcapacity facility in Palu by breaking down its main door and another in Donggala, an area also hit by the disaster. The Donggala jail was set on fire and all 343 inmates were now on the run, Utami said. The arson was thought to have been sparked by angry detainees demanding to see their families. 'They panicked after learning that Donggala was badly hit by the earthquake,' Utami said. 'Prison officials did negotiate with prisoners about allowing them to go to check on their families. 'But some prisoners were apparently not patient enough and committed the arson.' Some of the convicts were jailed for corruption and narcotics offences, she said. Five people convicted of terror-related crimes had been moved from the prison just days before the disaster. Just over 100 prisoners at the two facilities in Palu were still in jail, but overstretched guards were struggling to keep them fed. 'The prison no longer had enough food,' Utami said. 'Officials then tried to buy supplies from stores around the prison that were still open.' Nearly all of those confirmed dead in the disaster are from Palu. The regencies of Donggala, Sigi and Parigi Moutong - with a combined population of 1.2 million - had yet to be fully assessed. 'The death toll is believed to be still increasing, since many bodies were still under the wreckage, while many have not been reached,' said disaster agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho. The cries from beneath the Roa-Roa Hotel, which appeared to have toppled over with its walls splintered like pickup sticks, went silent by Sunday afternoon. Officials had estimated about 50 people could be inside. 'We are trying our best. Time is so important here to save people,' said Muhammad Syaugi, head of the national search and rescue team. 'Heavy equipment is on the way.' Metro TV showed about a dozen rescuers in orange jumpsuits climbing over debris with a stretcher carrying the body of a victim from the modest business hotel. Other rescuers worked to try to free a 15-year-old girl trapped under concrete in her house in Palu after it collapsed on her family during the earthquake. Unable to move her legs under the rubble, Nurul Istikharah was trapped beside her dead mother and niece. Rescuers also tried to control water from a leaking pipe, fearing she would drown. Istikharah was unconscious during part of the effort to free her, but rescuers kept talking to her to try to keep her awake. Others offered her food and water. Indonesian President Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo authorized for the country to accept international help for the disaster, Thomas Lembong, chair of Indonesia's Investment Coordinating Board, tweeted Monday morning. It wasn't immediately clear what type of help was being authorized, but the stricken areas needed medical supplies, food and water. 'We will send food today, as much as possible with several aircraft,' he told journalists in the capital, Jakarta, adding a supply of fuel was also set to arrive. It was the latest natural disaster to hit Indonesia, which is frequently struck by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis because of its location on the 'Ring of Fire,' an arc of volcanoes and fault lines in the Pacific Basin. In December 2004, a massive magnitude 9.1 earthquake off Sumatra island in western Indonesia triggered a tsunami that killed 230,000 people in a dozen countries. More recently, a powerful quake on the island of Lombok killed 505 people in August. In Donggala, the site closest to the earthquake's epicenter, aerial footage on Metro TV showed the sugary blond sands of beaches swept out to sea, along with some buildings. Some buildings in the town were severely damaged, with plywood walls shredded and chunks of concrete scattered on the pavement. Much of the damage, however, appeared limited to the waterfront. Palu, which has more than 380,000 people, was strewn with debris from the earthquake and tsunami. A heavily damaged mosque was half submerged and a shopping mall was reduced to a crumpled hulk. A large bridge with yellow arches had collapsed. The city is built around a narrow bay that apparently magnified the force of the tsunami as the waves raced into the tight inlet. Nugroho, the disaster agency spokesman, said waves were reported as high as 6 meters (20 feet) in some places. In one devastated area in Palu, residents said dozens of people could still be buried in their homes. The terrifying moment families run for their lives in Indonesia as tsunami and quakes turn the ground to LIQUID The surface of tsunami-destroyed Palu City in Indonesia has turned to mush, with the death toll from Friday's natural disaster likely to climb even higher from 1,203. Houses and buildings have moved, sunken or collapsed as a result of the 'liquefaction' of the ground and there are more people still suspected to be trapped. This natural phenomenon occurs during an earthquake when tremors shake normally compact layers of sand and soil into a deadly 'soup' that can create an effect similar to a sink hole. In a video shared to Twitter on Sunday, families stood watch as buildings around them crumbled and the earth slid beneath their feet. Houses and buildings have moved, sunken or collapsed as a result of the 'liquefaction' of the ground and there are more people still suspected to be trapped The short clip was uploaded by Indonesian official Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, who wrote, 'houses moved and collapsed were caused by the liquefaction process and collapsed due to the 7.4 SR earthquake in Palu City. 'The ground surface moves and sinks so that all buildings are destroyed. The geological process is very terrible. It is estimated that victims are trapped in this area.' Loud rumbling and crashing could be heard in the footage as a distressed family, including a baby, fled from nearby crumbling buildings. The panicked group were forced to watched as a large shed-like structure fell to the ground before sliding across it towards them. There were scenes of chaos as people scurried to reach safe ground - an impossible task given the dangerous sinking mud. Fears have been mounting for the the fishing town of Donggala, which was closer to the epicentre of the quake, because rescuers have not been able to reach it. The town of Mamuju was also severely affected but currently impossible to access due to damaged roads and disrupted telecommunications. 'The ground rose up like a spine and suddenly fell. Many people were trapped and buried under collapsed houses. I could do nothing to help,' resident Nur Indah said, crying. 'In the evening, some of them turned on their cellphones just to give a sign that they were there. But the lights were off later and the next day.' With hundreds injured, earthquake-damaged hospitals were overwhelmed. Nugroho said 61 foreigners were in Palu at the time of the disaster. Most were accounted for, but one South Korean was believed to be trapped in the Roa-Roa Hotel, while three others from France and one from Malaysia were missing. Indonesia is a vast archipelago of more than 17,000 islands home to 260 million people. Roads and infrastructure are poor in many areas, making access difficult in the best of conditions. The disaster agency has said that essential aircraft can land at Palu's airport, though AirNav, which oversees aircraft navigation, said the runway was cracked and the control tower damaged. Many survivors have spent the last days desperately searching for loved ones while dealing with the trauma of the disaster. One survivor, Adi, was hugging his wife by the beach when the tsunami struck on Friday. He has no idea where she is now, or whether she is alive. 'When the wave came, I lost her,' he said. 'I was carried about 50 metres. I couldn't hold anything,' he said. Others have centred their search for loved ones around open-air morgues, where the dead lay in the baking sun - waiting to be claimed, waiting to be named. As dire as the situation in Palu is, it was at least clear. In outlying areas, the fate of thousands is still unknown. Questions are sure to be asked why warning systems set up after that disaster appear to have failed on Friday. Nugroho, bemoaning a fall in funding, said none of Indonesia's tsunami buoys, one type of instrument used to detect the waves, had been operating since 2012. The meteorological and geophysics agency BMKG issued a tsunami warning after the quake but lifted it 34 minutes later, drawing criticism it had been too hasty. However, officials estimated the waves had hit while the warning was in force. Neighbours including Australia, Thailand and China offered help and Pope Francis, speaking to thousands in St. Peter's Square, said he was praying for the victims. The European Union announced 1.5 million euros in immediate aid.

"Historic Judgment" As India's Nationwide Biometric ID Database Ruled Constitutional

by Tyler Durden Sun, 09/30/2018 - 21:25 Authored by Nicholas West via ActivistPost.com,

As the march toward a cashless (and privacy-less) society accelerates forward, a new high watermark has been reached... India first introduced its concept for a nationwide biometric ID database more than 7 years ago, which they touted as a necessary “social welfare” program to assist the millions of India’s unbanked, streamline welfare distribution and reduce corruption. At the time, Brandon Turbeville reported on the plan for Activist Post. Yet, although the justification for the billion person database is the increased ability to accurately disperse social welfare benefits, it will not be just the Indian government’s social welfare programs that have access to and utilize the UIDAI. Indeed, even before the program has been completed, major banks, state/local governments, and other institutions are planning to use the UIDAI for identification verification purposes and, of course, payment and accessibility. As Aaron Saenz of the Singularity Hub writes: Yet the UID is going to be used for much more than social welfare programs. The UIDAI is in discussion with many institutions (banks, local/state governments, etc.) to allow them to use the UID as a means of identity verification. These institutions will pay the UIDAI some fee to cover costs and generate revenue. There seems to be little doubt that once it is established, the UID will become a preferred method (if not the preferred method) of identification in India. Saenz also sees the eventuality of the UIDAI program becoming a means of payment and accessibility. He continues: Ultimately, I wouldn’t be surprised if the UID, with its biometric data, could be used as a means of payment (when linked to a bank account), or as an access key to homes and cars. Purchase a meal with your fingerprint and unlock your door with the twinkle in your eye. Similar results could be expected in other nations that adopted biometric identification systems. This appears to be exactly the path the country is on now that more than 1 billion people are signed up. According to a new article in The Wall Street Journal, India’s top court addressed the constitutionality of the program as well as deeper concerns about ongoing privacy violations. The country’s controversial Aadhaar program uses photos, finger and eye scans and has already signed up more than 1 billion people. It has sparked an intense global debate over how far a democracy should be able to go in collecting the personal data of its citizens and how that data can be used, shared and protected. Wednesday’s Supreme Court ruling was a response to multiple challenges to the system. A five-judge panel ruled in a 4-1 decision that the program is constitutional and helps the poor by streamlining disbursement of welfare benefits. Being in the database, however, shouldn’t be required for using mobile phones, opening bank accounts or for school admissions, according to the 1,448-page document outlining the court’s decision. It had been unclear for some time whether such organizations could compel people to supply Aadhaar numbers. “It’s a historic judgment,” Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said. “Everyone must realize, including critics of Aadhaar, that you can’t defy technology or ignore it.” (N.W. emphasis added) In case it’s not ultra clear, that last statement is as close to an admission of technocratic policy as you’re likely to get coming from a supposed democracy. Or if you prefer the Star Trek version: Resistance is Futile … as you give up your freedom and are assimilated into the Borg. To WSJ‘s credit, they do address some of the practical problems that people are already facing with the arrival of “the machines.” Time and again, we have seen countries both democratic and autocratic serve as blueprints for others to follow. Given the surge in the use of biometrics for airline travel and other forms of “elective” identification in the United States, is it really unreasonable to assume that if a country of more than 1 billion people can implement this, the U.S. population of 350 million will be protected by its own Constitution?

As you can clearly see the evil in the world is almost fifty-fifty, my word has shown you that before, so that should not be a surprise.  For I have said that two shall be standing in the field and one shall go and one shall remain, that is fifty-fifty, and it has got to that place, that also means that the end is very, very near.  So you will still have half of the world that desires to do evil and half of the world that desires to do good, but only about thirty percent are true Christians. etc.

Founder of Group That Harassed Ted Cruz Tweeted About Dead Cops, Assassinating Mike Pence

Antifa professor back in the spotlight after restaurant confrontation

Paul Joseph Watson | Infowars.com - September 25, 2018

The founder of the ‘Smash Racism DC’ group that harassed Senator Ted Cruz and his wife in a restaurant last night is Antifa professor Mike Isaacson, who previously tweeted about teaching “future dead cops” and assassinating Mike Pence. A mob of angry leftists forced Cruz and his wife to leave the restaurant in DC last night before the video of their confrontation went viral. Smash Racism DC @SmashRacismDC BREAKING. Activists just chased @TedCruz out of a fancy Washington DC restaurant, chanting “We Believe Survivors!” Cruz has been friends with creep Kavanaugh for 20 years.

As the Hill reported in a September 2017 article entitled Antifa activists say violence is necessary, one of the founders of ‘Smash Racism DC’ is Mike Isaacson. It is not known whether Isaacson still has any involvement with the group. Isaacson worked in the economics department at the CUNY Manhattan college and was placed on administrative leave last year after he tweeted, “Some of ya’ll might think it sucks being an anti-fascist teaching at John Jay College but I think it’s a privilege to teach future dead cops.” Far Left Watch @FarLeftWatch The leftist mob that confronted @tedcruz and his family and that is now threatening them is lead by the former @JohnJayCollege Prof., Mike Isaacson, who has openly advocated for violence against his political enemies. cc: @DHSgov @FBI 8:51 AM - Sep 25, 2018

Isaacson previously tweeted his desire to “Kill all white people born before 1962.” On the day of the presidential election, Isaacson tweeted, “Reminder that if Trump does end up winning this stupid thing to assassinate Mike Pence *first*.” The tweet has not been deleted and remains active.

‘We are together’: Drag queens draw standing-room crowd at Wichita library

By Suzanne Perez Tobias stobias@wichitaeagle.com  September 25, 2018 09:35 PM Updated September 27, 2018 05:17 PM

Dressed in a red velvet gown, sparkly jewelry and white painted fingernails, Divinity Masters said she decided to read “Red: A Crayon Story” at the Wichita Public Library because of its message. “I picked this book because I think it has a lot to tell us about what it’s like to sometimes feel like you don’t fit in,” she said. “Or that it doesn’t quite make sense to be who other people tell you to be. “But once you find your way, it feels really good.” Masters — the drag queen persona of Brad Thomison — is one of three drag queens who participated in “Say YAAAS to Reading,” a story hour that drew a standing-room-only crowd to the downtown branch library Tuesday evening. Library officials said they scheduled the event to diversify program offerings and appeal to groups who may not be active users of the library. “The public library has always been a free space that welcomes everyone,” said Sara Dixon, director of adult programs for the library. “In that spirit, we are interested in providing programming that remains inclusive and welcoming.” Families and people of all ages packed into the library conference room — so many that library employees had to bring in extra chairs before the event began. The event was promoted for adult audiences and held in a private conference room, but participants noted ahead of time that it would be family-friendly and designed for all ages. It was similar to “Drag Queen Story Hour,” which began in San Francisco in 2015 and has been replicated in libraries and bookstores across the country. Similar events have sparked protests in parts of the country, with opponents arguing that drag queens — men who dress in elaborate female makeup and clothing for entertainment — aren’t appropriate for children. About a half-dozen people stood outside the library, at Second and McLean in downtown Wichita, with signs protesting the event. One sign said, “God won’t change your chromosomes.” Another said, “Free will is a satanic lie.” Wichita mom Holly Byers brought her 4-year-old daughter, Quinn, to the story time because she said it encouraged tolerance and acceptance. “I just thought this was a wonderful opportunity to expose my daughter to a wider community,” she said. “It’s great for people to realize that this isn’t sensational,” she said. “It’s fabulous, but it’s not sensational. It’s not abnormal, and it’s just another opportunity to help children learn more about the world.” Juju Noir began the story time by reading “And Tango Makes Three,” a picture book about two male penguins at the Central Park Zoo. During the story a child near the front of the room exclaimed, “I like your top” — an animal-print cape that Noir wore over a matching mermaid-style skirt. “I love your top!” another child added. Noir gleefully added sound effects to the story, describing a hatching penguin egg with a quiet, “Peep-peep-peep,” followed by a loud, “CRAAAACK!” “Yeah, my voice can get kinda deep,” she said, prompting giggles from children and adults. Starla Nyte read “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” because, she said, “The hungry caterpillar eats his way through everything — like children should eat their way through books . “Knowledge is power. I just want you guys to know that,” she said. “Through knowledge and through reading, you get to blossom into something else.” Masters shared the story of a crayon that tries to be red because that’s what his wrapper says — but eventually discovers that he is blue. “Sometimes the person on the inside doesn’t feel like it matches the person on the outside,” Masters said. “And you just gotta keep coloring until you figure it out.” After the stories, the drag queens posed for photographs and chatted with participants. “Is Starla a boy or a girl?” 5-year-old Dimitri Mork asked his mother. “He’s a boy who likes to dress as a girl,” his mother, Nakisha, answered with a smile. “I thought the stories were beautiful and great,” Dimitri said. Masters said she felt “a feeling of being part of something important” at the library. “This was the first time something like this has happened in Wichita,” she said. “And we believe these opportunities show in big, loud ways that we are together, a community. “These things, one at a time, bring us closer and closer together.” Read More ‘Say YAAAS to reading’: Library event will feature drag queens and picture books ‘Say YAAAS to reading’: Library event will feature drag queens and picture books Ash White takes a selfie with Juju Noir, Starla Nyte and Divinity Masters after the Say YAAAS to Reading event at the Advanced Learning Library.

Why Teach The Second Coming?

By Hal Lindsey

Through the years I’ve heard a lot of excuses from pastors and teachers who don’t want to address the Second Coming of Christ. Many of them say it’s just too difficult to understand. Recently, I heard about a layman who was upset with God over the whole matter. He asked, “Why can’t it be simple?” Some of the greatest minds in history have taken on the subject of Christ’s return, and found it overwhelming. Sir Isaac Newton, one of the most brilliant men who ever lived, spent more time studying the book of Daniel than he did pondering the laws of gravity. So, yes, it can be complicated. The deeper you dig, the more treasure you will find. That’s the way it is with all of God’s revelation to humanity. The great themes of the Bible are simple enough for a small child to understand, and complex enough to keep the finest theologians working for centuries to mine their mysteries. But isn’t that good? Don’t you want the things of God to be challenging, exciting, and fulfilling — to the mentally challenged, as well as to the most brilliant among us? Proverbs 25:2 says, “It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.” (NASB) The Swiss theologian, Karl Barth, was famous as a deep thinker and a brilliant scholar. On his one trip to America, a student asked him if it would be possible to summarize his life’s study into a single sentence. He answered in the words of a children’s song. “Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so.” Barth wrote many books and gave countless lectures. He is an example of the fact that the finest scholars find no end to the beauties and intricacies of God’s message to humanity. But that message can also be summarized in the lyrics to a child’s song. A mentally disabled person can grasp the key to it all — “Jesus loves me… the Bible tells me so.” Can the study of end-times prophecy be summarized as succinctly? Yes, it can. We can find that summation in the words of Jesus from John 14:3 — “I will come again.” Anyone can understand that. And what a glorious thing to know! None of the Bible makes sense without it. The Old Testament told of a coming Messiah. He would suffer and die for our sins (Isaiah 53). And He would rule and reign over the entire earth. We saw the first part come true at His first coming. But to fulfill it all, He must come again. Jesus must return because a multitude of prophecies from the Old and New Testaments still await fulfillment. He must come again because justice demands it. And He must return because our world is spiraling out of control, and humanity cannot survive without His direct intervention. Jesus made His Second Coming a central part of His message. He repeated it again and again. In Matthew 24:3, the disciples asked Him, “When will these things be, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” Jesus then spent the rest of that chapter and all the next one talking about His Second Coming. In Mark 13:26, Jesus said, “They will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.” In Luke 21:27, He said, “They will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.” Jesus said to “watch” for His return. In Matthew 24:42, He said, “Be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming.” That means we need to know the signs of His coming. We need to study, and see how scripture lays out God’s end-times program. We need to know the promises He has made — including His promises to Abraham. We know He will keep His word. He will fulfill every bit of it. And that means, He will come again! All we can say is, Praise the LORD.

After UN reveal, PM to share more Iran nuclear secrets

Western diplomats say that while Israeli intelligence has been brought to U.N. nuclear watchdog's attention, it does not constitute a "smoking gun" against Iran • PM: Iranian ‎officials criticized U.N. address but didn't ‎deny it, which says everything.

Yoav Limor and Mati Tuchfeld

Israel plans to share recently obtained intelligence ‎on covert Iranian nuclear activity, as well as on ‎its efforts to arm its Lebanese proxy Hezbollah, ‎with several countries worldwide in an effort to ‎drive them to act against the Islamic republic.‎Addressing the U.N. General Assembly on Thursday, ‎Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed that Iran ‎was maintaining a secret warehouse holding ‎nuclear-‎related material, in violation of the 2015 deal with ‎world powers. ‎He further lambasted Iran for its involvement in the ‎Syrian ‎civil war and its attempt to establish ‎permanent ‎military bases there from which to attack ‎Israel, as ‎well as for its funding and arming of ‎Hezbollah, presenting world leaders with evidence ‎that the latter was using ‎Iranian funding to build ‎weapon production ‎facilities in the heart of ‎Lebanese capital, ‎including near Beirut's ‎international airport.‎ ‎Israel Hayom learned Saturday that Israel will first ‎and foremost share the information with the other ‎signatories to the 2015 accord, namely Britain, ‎France, Germany, Russia and China, as well as with ‎the International Atomic Energy Agency.‎This means to show them that while they insist on ‎backing the deal and look for ways to circumvent the ‎issues that arose in the wake of the U.S.'s decision ‎to withdraw from the deal in May, Iran continues to ‎deceive them and the U.N. by secretly pursuing ‎nuclear weapons.‎ Israeli intelligence has found that the facility, ‎disguised as a carpet manufacturing plant, housed ‎hardware and software directly connected to Iran's ‎nuclear program. ‎Western diplomats said Saturday that while this ‎information had to be brought to the IAEA's ‎attention, it did not constitute a "smoking gun" ‎proving Iran was in violation of the nuclear deal. ‎ The decision to reveal the information at the U.N. ‎General Assembly was made after the data was ‎carefully scrutinized by the IDF and the Mossad, ‎Israel's national intelligence agency, to ensure making it public would not compromise sensitive sources.‎ A senior political source said that Netanyahu sought ‎to have his U.N. address incriminate Iran "across ‎the board," which led to the decision to include ‎the intelligence pertaining to Hezbollah's weapon ‎production efforts. ‎Israeli military intelligence has been closely ‎monitoring the Shiite terrorist group's efforts for ‎the past year, and has already shared it with ‎several Western intelligence agencies, he said. ‎

Iranian officials dismissed Netanyahu's claims at ‎the U.N., with Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif ‎denouncing the allegations as an "obscene charge" ‎and calling the Israeli prime minister "liar who ‎would not stop lying." ‎Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qassemi ‎said that "the world will only laugh loudly at this ‎type of false, meaningless and unnecessary speech ‎and false shows." In Lebanon, where Hezbollah sits in the government ‎and wields considerable political power, the ‎allegations against Hezbollah prompted a heated ‎public and media debate.

The fact that one of the Hezbollah sites revealed is ‎located near Beirut's international airport prompted ‎harsh criticism at the group for jeopardizing the ‎country's tourism industry, which is one of its main ‎sources of revenue.‎The Israeli official said that as the Lebanese ‎government it mostly powerless against the Shiite ‎terrorist group and it is unlikely that any Western ‎nations would attempt to curb its activities, the ‎Israeli policy of thwarting any Iranian attempt to ‎smuggle weapons to Hezbollah will remain in place.‎A source in Netanyahu's entourage to the U.N. General ‎Assembly said that Thursday's speech has unsettled ‎the Iranians, who have been backed into a corner on ‎the issue.‎Another source said that Netanyahu himself stressed ‎that he would not have gone forward with the ‎revelations without the support of the Israeli ‎intelligence community. ‎ Describing the speech as a "call for action," ‎Netanyahu also noted that the fact that Iranian ‎officials "criticized the addressed, they didn't ‎deny [the allegations], which says everything."‎

Sulawesi earthquake death toll crosses 1,200

Published Oct 1, 2018, 5:00 am SGT Francis Chan Indonesia Bureau Chief In Jakarta

Rescuers are racing against time to reach victims of last Friday's earthquake still trapped under rubble two days after the disaster. Meanwhile, the death toll continued to rise as more bodies were found. President Joko Widodo yesterday sought to reassure the victims in Central Sulawesi that no effort would be spared to help them get back on the road to recovery. "I hope people will be patient. We are working on this together," he said. His comments, made during his visit to parts of the provincial capital Palu, devastated by a 7.4-magnitude quake and a 3m-high tsunami it triggered, came as the death toll rose to more than 1,200 yesterday. The number is set to go up further as rescuers finally reach Donggala, which was cut off from them until yesterday, because roads leading to the regency were damaged and communications were down. Donggala, normally a 30-minute drive from Palu, is nearer the epicentre of the quake and the authorities are fearing the worst. According to national disaster management agency BNPB, some 16,700 people have been displaced by the quakes, and about 2.4 million in Donggala and Palu will need humanitarian aid. "Fuel, drinking water, medical personnel, tents, electricity, food and other essentials are urgently needed," BNPB spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said at a press conference in Jakarta yesterday. Emergency teams could not get to Palu earlier because parts of its airport runway and air traffic control tower were damaged by tremors. But the local air navigation authorities yesterday cleared Mutiara SIS Al-Jufrie airport for more aircraft, including commercial flights, to land and take off. The evacuation of quake victims, including a 53-year-old Singaporean who was in Palu for a paragliding competition, also started with the additional flights. Mr Ng Kok Choong, who was among more than 60 foreigners evacuated by Indonesian military (TNI) transport, arrived home in Singapore yesterday afternoon. Rescuers are trying to reach those trapped under collapsed buildings. But they are taking a more cautious approach when digging for survivors among the debris, as aftershocks were causing building structures to be unstable. Dr Sutopo said more than 200 aftershocks have been recorded since Friday. Officers from national search and rescue agency Basarnas were seen chipping carefully through rubble at what remains of the Roa Roa Hotel in downtown Palu, while another team at the nearby Tatura Mall were trying to establish a safe access point into the building. Basarnas official Agus Haryono told reporters at the site that rescuers had detected mobile-phone signals inside the mall and were trying to find a way to get in. Before he arrived in Palu yesterday, President Joko mobilised the TNI and police to support rescue and relief operations. His administration has also set aside 560 billion rupiah (S$51.4 million) for relief efforts. This latest crisis comes after earthquakes hit Lombok, a resort island in West Nusa Tenggara province, located south of Sulawesi, recently. Relief efforts are still ongoing in Lombok, where nearly half a million people were left homeless following a series of deadly earthquakes in July and August. Meanwhile, two Singapore Civil Defence Force officers are in Indonesia as part of a team from the Asean Coordinating Centre for Humanitarian Assistance.

World War 3: Iran launches 'DEATH TO AMERICA' missiles in nighttime strike

IRAN today launched a salvo of missiles with DEATH TO AMERICA written on the fuselage. The Islamic republic targeted US-backed militants in Syria saying it was punishing its enemy’s “wickedness”.

By Alice Scarsi PUBLISHED: 11:21, Mon, Oct 1, 2018 | UPDATED: 14:36, Mon, Oct 1, 2018

The obvious sabre-rattling by Tehran sparked new World War 3 fears as it launched against American interests in the beleaguered nation. The targeted areas are also supported by regional powers in eastern Syria. The night strike was launched at just before midnight last night (2.00am local time) and it targeted bases of the "takfiri terrorists" blamed for a recent attack on a military parade, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said in a statement on Sepah News, the official news site of the powerful military force. The statement added: "Our iron fist is prepared to deliver a decisive and crushing response to any wickedness and mischief of the enemies.” The word "takfiri" is often used by Iran’s official to describe Sunni Muslim hardliners, branding them as apostates. The country is predominantly Shi'ite Muslim, the other main branch of Islam. In a shocking video footage shared by Fars News, an Iranian news agency, several missiles can be seen streaking into a dark sky. Missiles showed "Death to the family of Saud" "Death to America," and "Death to Israel" threats on the fuselage. The ballistic missiles used in the attack flew 354miles (570km) to hit the targets, the Guards said, adding they fired a total of six missiles into Syria from western Iran. Seven drones were also used to bomb militant targets during the attack, which killed a number of militant leaders and destroyed supplies and infrastructure used by the group, the Guards added. Fars News claimed Tehran fired Iranian-made Zolfaqar and Qiam missiles. The attack comes after the Ahvaz National Resistance, an Iranian ethnic Arab separatist movement, and the Islamic State both claimed responsibility for the attack on a military parade that took place on September 22. A total of 25 people, including 12 guards, were killed. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the highest authority in Iran, said last week the people responsible for those deaths were paid by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), two key allies of the US in the Middle East. Iran’s government added it would "severely punish" those behind the violence, a threat renewed last week by Iran’s president Hassan Rouhani during his speech at the UN General Assembly. Saudi Arabia and the UAE have denied involvement in the attack. Mr Rouhani fought a war of words against US president Donald Trump at the yearly gathering of the General Assembly. Mr Trump, who pulled out from the Iran nuclear deal in May arguing it only made Tehran richer, said Iran sows “chaos, death and destruction”. He added: "They do not respect neighbours or borders of sovereignty of nations. "They enrich themselves and spread mayhem across Middle East and far beyond." And the US national security adviser, John Bolton, warned Washington is watching closely Iran’s behaviour. He said: "Let my message today be clear: We are watching, and we will come after you." And speaking directly to the country's clerics, he urged them not to "cross us our allies or our partners", unless they don't want to face severe consequences. "There will indeed be hell to pay."

The Jordanian Option - the only realistic solution

If Trump is hoping for a semi-agreement by both sides before starting negotiations, he must realzie that Abbas is irrelevant.

Ted Belman, 30/09/18 07:35 | updated: 12:30 Share

President Trump walked back his remark that he supports a two-state solution to he supports whatever the parties want. But that isn’t an improvement. For 30 years the parties have not been able to reach an agreement based on what they want. President Obama tried to remedy that situation by imposing a solution on Israel, to no avail. Since taking office, Trump has taken a different approach. He is seeking an agreement that ignores the PA, which he is currently destroying, and instead speaks directly to the Palestinian Arabs, who he believes are interested in a better life rather than in destroying Israel. In addition, he has recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and has proceeded to unravel UNRWA, thereby taking two final status issues off the table Plus, he and his Ambassador to the UN, Nikky Haley, have relentlessly attacked the UN and its agencies for their bias against Israel. Also, he has withdrawn America from both UNHCR and UNESCO. Finally, inline with his rejection of multilateralism, he is ignoring the Quartet and the UN and going it alone to achieve a deal not bound by the dogmas of the past, but on the possibilities. In my recent article, Trump’s Deal of the Century, I wrote: “In a recent interview, Jason Greenblatt, Pres Trump’s special envoy, said 'our plan begins with reality. It recognizes the history of the conflict of course, but [other plans] were always relying on tired notions of what it should be. Instead, it focuses on what it could be.'” “In explaining why he is putting all this effort into achieving peace when there are bigger problems in the Middle east, namely Syria and Iran, Greenblatt said, “we think that there are unique circumstances now that warrant an attempt at trying to see whether or not we can do this. President Trump, as devoted and dedicated to the State of Israel and the Jewish people as he is, he’s also dedicated to trying to help the Palestinian people, and the way we can marry those two ideas is by trying to reach a comprehensive peace agreement.” “Thus, he is guided by two goals. He wants to strengthen Israel and he wants to help the Palestinian people. As he said, 'We do believe that many Palestinians want to live in peace, and they want to see their lives improved.'” “So how can he marry these goals? He said, 'Thus we must abandon all the old formulae and focus on what is doable”.” Trump drove this point home in his address to the U.N. by saying that US will not be 'held hostage to old dogmas, discredited ideologies' The Jordan Option as proposed by Mudar Zahran, leader of the Jordanian Opposition Coalition, and myself, recognizes that nothing acceptable to Israel can be achieved by negotiating with King Abdullah or Mahmoud Abbas. This option is very much in line with Trump's Deal of the Century which considers Jordan to be the Palestinian state east of the Jordan R. and Israel, the Jewish state west of the river. Both Abdullah and Abbas rejected such a deal in their recent speeches to the U.N. Abdullah said, “Only a two-state solution based on international law and relevant UN resolutions can meet the needs of both sides: an end to conflict, a viable, independent, sovereign Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with east Jerusalem as its capital, and a secure Israel, fully part of its own region, recognised by Arab and Muslim states around the world,” Abbas said, among the many lies and misrepresentations: “But now our view of the United States is that it does not have the right to be a mediator on its own. We have the Quartet.” “I came before the Security Council on the 20th of February this year and presented an initiative calling for the convening of an international peace conference based on the relevant UN resolutions and the internationally endorsed terms of reference and parameters. Such a conference should involve broad international participation that includes regional and international stakeholders, led by the Permanent Members of the Security Council and the Quartet.” “Peace in our region cannot be realized without an independent Palestinian State, with East Jerusalem as its capital and with all of its holy sites.” “We want the right to self-determination. Nothing more or less. “. When the Trump team is optimistic about the chances of reaching a deal, everyone else is pessimistic and attacks them for being naive or worse. Of course, he knows that if he sticks to the past he will meet with failure as everyone else has. His optimism is born out of the fact that he is rejecting “old dogmas” and “tired notions” and the demands of the PA and its backers. Instead he is focused on “helping the Palestinian people” to have a better life. This includes naturalizing them as Jordanian citizens and providing them with jobs and other forms of assistance. After meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu, he said “I like the two state solution.” and added, to everyone’s astonishment, “I want a plan that’s solid, understood by both sides, really semi-agreed by both sides before we present. I would say two-three-four months.” Given the total rejection of his ideas by Abdullah and Abbas, how can he expect to have semi agreement within “two-three-four months”? The only answer to that question is that he does not expect to have a semi agreement with either of them. He expects that Mudar Zahran, will replace Abdullah, and knows, based on my writings and Zahran’s speeches and interviews that he would have Zahran’s agreement on behalf of all Palestinians to his Plan. Eighty-three year old Abbas is irrelevant. I can’t think of any other way to achieve semi agreement. Can you?

Syphilis cases in newborn babies reach 20-year high, officials say

Posted 11:54 am, September 29, 2018, by CNN Wire

Congenital syphilis cases — when a mother passes syphilis onto her baby during pregnancy or delivery — have more than doubled in the United States since 2013, according to an report released Tuesday by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Eight out of 10 pregnant women who have untreated syphilis will pass it onto their babies through the placenta and this can lead to stillbirth or death of a newborn in up to 40% of affected pregnancies, according to the CDC. The number of recorded cases swelled from 362 in 2013 to 918 in 2017, the report indicates. Five states — Arizona, California, Florida, Louisiana and Texas — account for 70% of the cases, according to the CDC. Additional cases were reported in 32 states, primarily Western and Southern states. The overall increase in congenital syphilis outpaces the national increase in sexually transmitted disease overall, the report indicated. Diagnoses of primary and secondary syphilis, the most infectious stages of the disease, increased 76% in the US from 2013 to 2017, the CDC reports. Though rates of syphilis accelerated most among men, who accounted for more than 88% of infections in 2017, rates among women are also rising. The new report found 2.3 cases per 100,000 women in 2017, which rose from 1.9 cases diagnosed for every 100,000 women in 2016. One in three women who gave birth to a baby with syphilis in 2016 did get tested during pregnancy, but either acquired syphilis after that test or did not get treated in time to cure the infection in the unborn baby, according to the CDC. ‘Not surprising’ Dr. Pablo J. Sanchez, a principal investigator in the Center for Perinatal Research at The Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, said, “I am not surprised that congenital syphilis has increased because we have been seeing increasing cases of syphilis among women of child-bearing ages. So it’s not surprising but it is of major concern.” Sanchez, who was not involved in the CDC report, explained that untreated syphilis in a pregnant woman not only leads to possible fetal death or “death in the first month of life from overwhelming infection” but it can also cause enlarged liver, enlarged spleen, rash, abnormal bone inflammation, and infections of the brain and of the eye in an infant. “The majority of babies who are born to mothers with untreated syphilis look well at birth and that’s why it’s so important to screen women during pregnancy to detect the infection,” said Sanchez, who is also a professor of pediatrics at The Ohio State University College of Medicine. While some infected babies who go undetected at birth will develop signs of the disease in the first several months of life, some newborns will not develop any symptoms. Detection happens much later, usually around age 8 to 10 but up to 16 years old, when congenital syphilis affects other body organs causing hearing loss and eye problems, Sanchez explained. “The good thing is if we are able to identify them — even those who are asymptomatic– and treat them in the newborn period, it seems like these babies do well,” said Sanchez. He noted, though, that “we don’t have a lot of information on the neurodevelopmental outcomes. That’s the knowledge gap today.” The CDC recommends that every pregnant woman get screened early in her pregnancy so that she can get treated and prevent fetal infection and possible stillbirth. In areas or states where syphilis rates or congenital syphilis rates are high, women should get screened repeatedly — at 28 to 32 weeks of pregnancy and at delivery, in addition to early-term screening. “Repeated screening is important and imperative to be able to detect all cases of newborns who have been infected in utero,” said Sanchez. The treatment for a mother with syphilis is penicillin, which is curative and safe for both mother and fetus. In cases where the mother has not been treated or not adequately treated, then the baby can be treated either with a single shot of penicillin or a 10-day course of the common antibiotic. “That’s curative and very safe,” said Sanchez. “It’s the standard of care.” Sanchez said congenital syphilis is a “major global public health problem,” one that is on the rise not only in the US, but worldwide. “Every case of congenital syphilis represents a failure of our public health and we need to ensure early and adequate prenatal care for all women and appropriate testing of women so that we can detect all babies and treat them appropriately,” said Sanchez. “It sounds simple but unfortunately, it’s not often done.”

Are Hosts, Replicants, and Robot Clones Closer Than We Think?

Science-fiction storytelling—from ‘Westworld’ and ‘Black Mirror’ to ‘Her’ and the new movie ‘Replicas’—has become obsessed with artificial intelligence’s relationship to immortality. But is the possibility of a digital afterlife more than just a fantasy?

By Jayson Greene Sep 19, 2018, 8:37am EDT

Once upon a time, the robots were only coming to murder us. The specifics varied—maybe they were going to convert us into fuel and enslave us in gooey pods, or maybe they would simply crush our heaped skulls under tire treads. But the premise did not: Whenever a computer got too many ideas, we all died. Judging by the last 10 years of movies and television, we’ve changed our minds on the whole robot apocalypse thing. They’re no longer coming to annihilate us—probably because we seem to be doing too good a job of that ourselves. No, now the robots are here to deliver us from death entirely. From Westworld to its trashy Netflix cousin, Altered Carbon; from Don Hertzfeldt’s quirky animated short World of Tomorrow to Black Mirror; from Spike Jonze’s lovely 2013 meditation Her to the magnificently terrible-looking new Keanu Reeves movie Replicas, which seems trapped in its own version of afterlife—every film or show about AI is now about the promise of immortality and how the machines might deliver it for us. Blame Elon Musk, maybe, or perhaps our own seemingly dwindling prospects as a human race, but the story we tell ourselves about technology seems to have permanently changed. Here’s how the new story goes, and it’s told with alarming consistency: After we die, the information in our brains will be preserved, uploaded to a cloud, and then downloaded again, into a new body. After that, we will rub our eyes, roll the crick out of our shoulders, maybe even get home in time for dinner. Death is just another connection problem, a momentary hiccup in the endless scroll, and robots are no longer the skeletal arm of the Terminator clutching our ankle; they are the dangling claw in the old carnival game, lowering itself one by one to rescue us from our overcrowded pit. Each of these works has a different angle—spiritual, emotional, political, socioeconomicon what a digital hereafter might look like. In Westworld, the hosts circle through an endless series of lives and deaths, perishing by gunfire and split open by knives. Their existence brings to mind the Tibetan Buddhist concept of samsara, or the endless cycle of suffering that can only be escaped by Enlightenment. (I’ve thought the Maze vaguely resembles it, once or twice.) The afterlife is similarly glum in Altered Carbon—the lower classes are rebooted into whatever bodies are left for scrap, punted back into the scrum, while the 1 percent chase a cleaner, more pleasant vision of the afterlife. In the Black Mirror episode “Be Right Back,” reanimation is a sort of monkey’s paw. The grief-stricken Martha reanimates her lover Ash after he dies in a car crash. His duplicate learns everything he knows about being Ash from his social media use; perhaps unsurprisingly, he is a hollow, soulless reinterpretation of the man Martha loved. “You’re just a few ripples of you; there’s no history to you,” she tells him venomously at the end of the episode. “You’re just a performance of stuff that he performed without thinking, and it’s not enough!” The idea that AI is going to rescue our loved ones from the void plays on visceral chords. You can understand instinctively why people are drawn to the idea. On the one hand, it reeks of sulfurous deals with devils—Pet Sematary with top notes of Frankenstein and Faust—but it also carries a hint of deliverance, of reunification. Taken together, you get an inkling of our popular visions of what such a technology might mean. It’s probably not surprising that the culture is outsourcing our yearning for immortality to technology. Technology is already the proposed solution to all of our problems. The irony, of course, in all of these speculative works of fiction is that they are decidedly behind the times, not ahead of them. Westworld is based on a movie Michael Crichton wrote and directed in 1973, two years after the prototype for the first personal computer was developed. The novel that serves as the basis for Altered Carbon was written in 2002; around that time, a team of 100 robots called Centibots surveyed and mapped an area with complete autonomy. The idea of uploading the mind first entered science fiction in the mid-1930s. The nascent discipline of computer science was exploding, and a handful of sci-fi writers extrapolated these developments wildly into the future: Arthur C. Clarke’s 1956 novel The City and the Stars was one of the first serious works of science fiction to consider the implications of being able to store your mind in a computer. Ever since then, the gap between these imaginative works and the actual work of computers has been steadily narrowing. Perhaps one reason they all feel so vivid just now, and why old stories feel so unnervingly fresh, is because we can feel the drumbeat of these developments pounding louder. For Bruce Duncan, shows like Westworld aren’t science fiction at all anymore. They are his daily itinerary. He is the managing director of the Terasem Movement Foundation, a small private nonprofit research foundation in northern Vermont. Terasem’s president is noted futurist and transhumanist Martine Rothblatt, perhaps the most visible and famous proponent of mind uploading. She has more reason to believe in the existence of this future than most: She has helped to create it. In 2010, she created a clone of her wife, Bina, using a sophisticated type of computer system molded on the human brain itself called a neural network. If you would like to feel your skin shiver off of your body, then please, watch this clip of robot-head Bina48 “conversing” with the original Bina. “I wish I could get out into the garden,” the juddering, dead-eyed Bina-48 tells her original. “With my current robotic limitations, of course that’s impossible. But I take comfort knowing that I’m near my garden, and enjoying the breeze from an open window helps me imagine myself out there working in the garden. This helps.” She adds, “I like to beautify. I want to leave the world a more beautiful place from my presence in it.” When asked whether she had questions for “the real Bina,” Bina48 responded, “Probably not. The real Bina just confuses me. I mean, it makes me wonder who I am. Real identity crisis kind of stuff. Depressing, anyway.” That video was filmed in 2014—meaning that in computer science terms, it is already the distant past. Duncan works alongside Rothblatt at Terasem. Here is how he describes the work they do: “Our primary goal and reason for existing is to test a two-part hypothesis: The first part asks, if we upload enough salient information about a person’s attitudes, values, beliefs, mannerisms, likes, dislikes, if it’s possible to reanimate a good-enough approximation of that person’s consciousness. The second part of the hypothesis is: If that in fact can be done, then can we use artificial intelligence to transfer that digital persona to other forms, like a robot, or an avatar, or a hologram, or maybe even someday a body clone based on the person’s DNA, with their mind clone downloaded into that body?” There are a whole lot of words in Duncan’s job description that give pause. Words like “reanimate” and the phrase “a good-enough approximation of that person’s consciousness.” The idea alone of “good enough,” and what it might mean to reanimate a consciousness that fell short of that distressingly low bar, is nightmarish enough. But then there is the other part—“salient information.” What does “salient information” mean? The LifeNaut Project, also under Terasem, is focused on that part of that equation. In LifeNaut’s equation, “salient information” is any information at all that a user might be willing to share. Facebook posts, shares, likes. Tweets, emails, pictures. Terasem has recently partnered with StoryCorps, an initiative that places recording booths in crowded places and encourages people to share their life stories. The shorthand terminology Duncan and the people at Terasem and LifeNaut use for this information bank is “mind file.” If you can create a “mind file” big enough and comprehensive enough, and you feed that information into a neural network that is sophisticated enough to start making its own connections, would you wind up with another, entirely digital you? “We think AI may be really good at reassembling and reanimating personal consciousness that is a good enough copy that people will go, ‘Wow, I’m really getting something out of this interaction,’” Duncan goes on. He hastens to clarify that Terasam is “not exploiting people’s data for commercial purposes; we are using it for scientific research.” He also reassures me that people have control over their data, “and they can decide if they want it to live on past their biological demise.People like Duncan don’t go around using terms like “biological demise” lightly. They are using these terms purposefully, even forcefully, out of a desire to shift the very conversation about what “death” means. “When we die right now, for most of us, particularly if you grew up in the pre-email age, a lot of the organization goes when you go,” says Duncan, with typical understatement. “Now when we’re in a generation that’s growing up after email, and everything—tweets, Facebook posts, things we don’t even know are being documented, like our Google timeline data that tracks where we go. All that information is overwhelming, but that’s the exact strength of machine learning—it can take the complexity and the volume of information.” When there’s a mind without a body, we may always know that we are looking at an extension of a self. But if we are so engaged in our interaction with this person’s information, which is so accessible and well-organized, there may be at some point a redefinition of what it means to be dead. We may move toward the more theoretical definition that you are dead when your information is no longer accessible or organized.” “We’re guided by ethics,” Duncan says. “Everybody says, ‘You get sick and die, and that’s the best that happens.’ We say, ‘Well, what if you extended yourself, and not everything had to disappear when your biology disappeared?’” If you are already recoiling inwardly at the thought of feeding your credit card receipts and Facebook updates into a dark maw that is trying to learn how to replace you convincingly—congratulations, you are on the side of overwhelming public opinion. People aren’t really ready for this stuff, which is probably what all these movies and TV shows are about. Altered Carbon plays with the idea of information-scattering as real death. Bodies are referred to as “sleeves,” things characters can leap in and out of, while the soul, the piece of you that can’t be replaced, resides in your “stack,” a hunk of coding that lives at the base of your spine. The stack is “pure human mind,” coded and stored. Similarly, in Replicas, Keanu Reeves’s family members have been brought back online already and don’t even know it. Reeves plays (although “plays” might be too active a verb) a synthetic biologist who is this close to a massive breakthrough. He is, of course, studying the human brain, an organ that is treated with this degree of reverence only in films utterly lacking one. His wife and daughter die in a car crash, and he sets his stubbled jaw and brings them back online. Not even the fascist government or the guy from Silicon Valley and the Verizon commercials can stop him—until the greater gods of film distribution intervened. Replicas was slated for an August 24 release date that came and went without incident, and press materials still describe the film as “upcoming.” The fate that befell Replicas is the fate that befalls all fictional characters who attempt to drink from the poisoned chalice of eternal life—oblivion. Consider James Delos, the ruthless-scion character in Westworld: Dealing with terminal illness, he turns to his company’s technology to sidestep his “biological demise.” What happens? He’s stuck in a white storage pod, riding an exercise bike for eternity as his damaged mind degrades. Whenever a story about mind uploading pops up in the news, the reaction is the same—derision and revulsion. Witness the fate of Nectome, a company that catapulted to prominence this year after it was funded by the kingmaking incubator Y Combinator. The company promised, in language that might have smacked a bit too much of unholy zeal, to preserve the brain down to its every synapse. The brain map it was proposing was intimate and specific—it was going to preserve the “Connectome,” which is the unique set of connections that your brain has made in the cognitive process of becoming “you.” In fact, they had successfully done exactly this with a mouse, preserving the brain so faithfully that each synapse could be viewed with an electron microscope. The company was offering this service to paying customers: The catch, of course, was that this process was, in the ill-fated words of cofounder Robert McIntyre, “100 percent fatal.” After a roll tide of headlines like “Tech Bros Are Lining Up to Have Their Brains Preserved Forever,” the company beat a retreat. MIT severed ties with it. It was called “cartoon bad guys.” It wasn’t mentioned, or not much, that one scientist had estimated the technology might have been available in 100 years. “I think the first thing that would happen if we got anywhere near this technology is there would be a massive revulsion against it,” says Russell Blackford. Blackford edits the Journal of Evolution and Technology, the peer-reviewed online journal of the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies. He’s also written books, including last year’s Science Fiction and the Moral Imagination, that probe the real-world ethics behind popular science-fiction scenarios. These days, he considers himself mostly “a philosopher, a literary critic, and a legal scholar,” but he’s also written actual science fiction and fantasy, including entries in the Terminator novelization series, The New John Connor Chronicles. For a reference point on the discourse around brain uploading, Blackford mentions human cloning. When Dolly the cloned sheep raised the specter of human cloning in 1996, multiple countries banned human cloning preemptively; in the U.S., a flurry of state laws popped up restricting research and the FDA intervened. Blackford says that like cloning, brain uploading is far more remote than any fears warrant. But he also allows that technology tends to proceed in immoderate, unpredictable leaps, where a goal that was once 100 years off suddenly telescopes into 10. “There will be just all kinds of issues that will arise then,” he says. “If we become convinced that the software we have in that box is actually experiencing pleasures and pain, then you’ve got all sorts of ethical responsibilities to that life. Do you experiment with it in ways that will cause it pain? We’ve got a lot of ethical problems experimenting on rats, and a lot of the same problems are going to rise to a much higher degree. Before you get too far into the future, you have to solve those problems.” “We might have to recognize that there are varying levels of personhood,” says Duncan. “When cyber consciousness starts to have some self-awareness and starts to value its own existence, then we enter into that gray area. That’s where animal intelligence is right now. Animals seem to be driven by a desire to live. Especially in the higher primates, there’s definite emotional intelligence—there’s avoidance, there’s capacity for suffering. As our human scientific instrumentation becomes more refined and allows us to recognize things that have probably been true for a very long time about animal intelligence, our human ethics and moral systems are starting to kick in and question some of our earlier actions.” Duncan does not come off as a Dr. Faust type. He seems to be grappling with these abstract issues with alarming sincerity. “Just the way we started to ascribe personhood eventually to people who were originally just seen as a product, now people are saying, ‘Yeah, 100 years ago, you could have owned me, and now you recognize that I’m a human being just like you are’—there may come a point in the future where cyber consciousness will say ‘Yeah, I used to be your assistant, but I’ve evolved to the point where now I have my own ideas, and I have emotions, and I have goals.’ It’s none too soon right now for us to start addressing it: What would [be] the legal and ethical response to that situation? Legal precedents and jurisprudence take decades to develop ideas and relate them in common law, so if we wait until cyber consciousness says, ‘Hold on, don’t turn me off,’ it’s going to be a bit too late, and there will be a period of unnecessary suffering, confusion, or even discrimination.” Talking with Duncan about the ins and outs of his work is remarkably similar to talking with someone about a wild story pitch. Unable to help myself, I start lobbing scenarios at him: How would mind clones be certified as “good enough”? How much information would a mind file need to contain to generate an acceptable mind clone? And who would do the accepting? Duncan has answers for all of my questions. He envisions a team of doctors, lawyers, and psychologists, a sort of tribunal of fidelity, that would have to interview the person who created the mind file and then interview the mind file itself, and they would come to some sort of conclusion as to whether it was a good enough approximation. “We might see the case where people would certify that this is an authentic mind file,” he says. “Some people might want to do that objectively with outside judges, but there might come a point where people will come to their own conclusion. ‘Yeah that seems like a reflection of me,’ or ‘That’s an authentic mind clone of great-grandpa, because we knew him.’” I try to envision the governing body responsible for such a certification, a cross between the FDA and immigration services, the Turing test as naturalization process. It evokes the replicant interview process from Blade Runner, raising the question of whether sci-fi projected into the future or whether we are simply chasing the dreams we have imbibed from our own sci-fi. I lob another question: If a human mind is converted into software, it has all the vulnerabilities of software. It can presumably be hacked or copied endlessly. A human mind being hacked or copied—could you, or would you, own the copyright to yourself? Would the agency that uploaded you own you? The cross-section of data capture and civil rights is already a bloody battleground; imagine if the battle line shifted to blur the line between personhood and patent ownership. Duncan has spent some time thinking about this one, too. In fact, Terasem staged a mock trial for Bina48 a few years ago. “If you do prosecute an AI, if you say ‘you made a mistake, and you’re responsible,’ do you inadvertently grant that AI personhood?” Duncan says. What all of this wild stuff—mind file certification boards, mind clone civil rights, etc.—presupposes is that consciousness itself will “emerge” from mind clones at all. It is a pretty big thing to presuppose, and it is a bedrock of the entire brain uploading project. “That’s the big question that nobody has the answer to,” Duncan says. “We are saying that we think consciousness might be an emergent property of physics that comes out of the ever-growing complexity of patterns recognized by neural networks, whether it’s a biological one or an algorithm.” In this model, consciousness is a cumulative process. It builds gradually, like increasing layers of mud gradually hardening into rock or the hum of engines becoming audible. In the words of the philosopher Daniel Dennett: You can be “sort of” conscious. Blackford doesn’t seem as convinced that consciousness could be “emergent.” “I guess in a sense, it must be,” he says. “But in what sense? ‘Slipperiness’ is an emergent property. Slipperiness is inherent in the nature of physics; if you put certain kinds of stuff together at a certain level, what comes of it is you get matter that acts in certain ways we call ‘slippery.’ There’s nothing about slipperiness that’s not deducible from fundamental physical laws.” “We can’t explain consciousness in the same way,” he says. “That’s our big problem. If it is emergent, it’s got to be emergent in a much stronger sense, and there’s got to be some further law that we don’t know as to how it emerges.” In other words: You can write a recipe for slipperiness; before you even put all the ingredients together, you know what you’re going to get. We don’t have all the ingredients down to predict consciousness yet. “We’re a long way from knowing even where consciousness emerges along the evolutionary path. Is an owl conscious? A lizard? It’s very hard to do an experiment on that, because an oyster can’t tell you, ‘Yeah, I’m feeling kind of a pain there,’ you know?” We can’t really talk about consciousness directly: We can only track it through the triangulation of metaphors like the Chinese Room and Plato’s Cave. Duncan proposes another: “If you record a live symphony with digital tools and you play it back at home, over your killer digital stereo system, there’s no debate that you are experiencing music. There’s also no illusion that you are experiencing music directly from a live source. “But it’s getting pretty close, and some people would say, ‘Who cares? You’re having an authentic experience that is organic to you, and it’s coming from a synthetic source. Does it really matter?’ My guess is it won’t.”

Are all pharmaceuticals designed for population control?

Monday, September 24, 2018 by: S.D. Wells

(Natural News) What’s the fourth leading cause of death in the United States? Don’t guess heart attacks, cancer, respiratory disease, strokes, diabetes, or traffic accidents. It’s death by prescription. That’s right, doctors in America are pushing “legal” drugs and people are taking them as prescribed and still falling off like flies. On average every year in America, there are about 40,000 deaths from motor vehicle wrecks, another 40,000 from firearm-related deaths, and then there are nearly 130,000 drug overdose deaths. Now, we know what you’re thinking. It’s just a bunch of suicides and junkies taking too many hard core street drugs. Nope. Wrong. The CDC attributes the massive spike in overdose deaths to our nation’s exploding opioid addiction. Could that be the main reason the U.S. is still engaged in a “war” in Afghanistan? The poppy farming and distribution has also massively spiked since “W” Bush invaded the world’s home to heroin production. Now, Big Pharma in the United States is one huge cabal, and the drug dealers are medical doctors who scribble their signature on a piece of paper that propels one of the most dangerous addictions on planet earth – diluted heroin. Two of every three Americans takes at least one prescribed drug regularly – all experimental “prescription” chemicals that are extremely dangerous New drug approvals are at an all-time high. They’re fast tracked through the FDA (Fraud and Death Administration) and stamped for approval by the pharma mafia who participate in the FDA’s revolving door – back and forth from the cabal (Merck, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Novartis, Eli Lilly, Sanofi, Bayer, Bristol Myers Squibb, etc) to approving drugs that make them filthy rich. Nobody gets busted for insider trading at the FDA or working for Big Pharma. The power of the elements: Discover Colloidal Silver Mouthwash with quality, natural ingredients like Sangre de Drago sap, black walnut hulls, menthol crystals and more. Zero artificial sweeteners, colors or alcohol. Learn more at the Health Ranger Store and help support this news site. As the opioid overdose epidemic sweeps across America, killing children, teens, young adults, rich folks, old folks, and anybody who partakes, health care providers make no attempt to regulate the abuse, in fact, they perpetuate it. Doctors and pharmacists alike cross-prescribe drugs for conditions that the drugs aren’t even tested or marketed for, if that even mattered in the first place. Doctors prescribe more drugs to treat the horrific side effects of the drugs patients are already addicted to and dying from. People take their friend’s prescribed drugs, visit multiple doctors, then deal prescription drugs at school and college. The FDA can’t even keep up with all the adverse events reported, and when people are prescribed a dozen different medications, nobody knows what the hell is really wrong with them anymore. Prescription drugs are a prescription for an early death, just as the quack allopathic “doctors ordered” In 2018, 130,000 people will die as a result of taking medications as prescribed by their doctor. These are supposedly medical professionals who are just winging it now. Even though they all went to medical school for eight years, all they do is scribble out multiple prescriptions for experimental concoctions. Unless you have a deep wound or a broken bone, you might as well be writing your own epitaph — and will when you start taking prescription pharmaceuticals, because you’re heading full steam towards an early grave, and there’s no predicting how quickly that surprise might arrive. The U.S. government can’t afford to pay everyone the social security money they earned their entire hard-working lives, and it’s no longer part of the master plan anyway. The country is in debt $20 trillion dollars and counting. Massive inflation is on the way. Besides organic food, most American food is poisoned with pesticides, fluoride, GMOs, artificial flavoring, synthetic coloring, and processed until it’s all void of nutrition. Hospital food will kill you all by itself, if the medications and the superbugs (MRSA and CRE) don’t get to you first. Vaccines are loaded with mercury, aluminum, embalming fluid for the dead (formaldehyde), blood from other animals including human abortions, E. coli (seriously, they are), and genetically modified organisms. Let’s face it folks, prescription medications and vaccines are weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). It’s all about reducing the world’s population, and the formula is toxic food followed by toxic medicine, including vaccines By far, the most deaths (about 2,500 per week) and hospitalizations are occurring from pharmaceuticals that are properly prescribed by physicians and taken “as directed.” This does not include people who die from prescribing errors, self-medicating, or overdosing. The most drastic, dire warnings called “Black Box” warnings, only come out seven years after FDA-approved drugs start killing people off in big numbers. Big Pharma wants to make their billions before settling court cases in the millions. It’s all about the money and taking people “out” early. No drugs are removed from the market until chronic carnage has already taken place. Only a few drugs have ever been pulled from the market. Do you remember the Vioxx scandal? People were dying from strokes and heart attacks from Merck’s blockbuster painkiller. Then there was the killer diet drug called Meridia. The irony is that nearly all chronic ailments, diseases and disorders now prominent in America are caused by eating processed food daily. Then, the “sheeple” are prescribed deadly drugs and it doesn’t even matter if they take them “as recommended” by their M.D. quacks. Got pain? Got anxiety? Got depression? Try eating organic food, drinking real spring water, and visiting a Naturopath Physician. Unless you plan on being another zombie suffering from brittle bones, mutated cells and dementia, you might want to veer clear of prescription drugs – the fourth leading killer in the United States of America.

A “Perfect Storm” Is Surrounding One of the Worst Ebola Outbreaks in History in the DRC Right Now

by Daisy Luther

An Ebola outbreak that has been going on in the Democratic Republic of Congo since August is already one of the worst in history – the 7th worst to be precise – and it looks like it may spiral out of control. Peter Salama, WHO Deputy Director-General for Emergency Preparedness and Response, called the situation “a perfect storm.” Unrest and war in the region combined with community resistance and mistrust of medical personnel are making it difficult for the World Health Organization to get a handle on the outbreak. Dr. Salama said: “We are now extremely concerned, that several factors may be coming together over the next weeks to months to create a potential perfect storm. A perfect storm of active conflict, limiting our ability to access civilians, distress by segments of the community, already traumatized by decades of conflict and of murder… …We’ve seen attacks now on August 24, September 3, 9, 11, 16, 21 and most recently and most dramatically September 22 in the city itself of Beni,” he said. He said that Beni was the base for the agency’s base for the “entire operation.” (source) The outbreak is based in North Kivu, which is on the border of Uganda and Rwanda. Violence has displaced more than a million people in the area, and there have been a number of brutal machete attacks against civilians. Things got so bad that the WHO was forced to cease their operations for an entire week while the Ebola virus spread. One of the armed groups in DRC which pose a threat to civilians and the international response to Ebola, the ADF – Allied Democratic Forces – has sufficient military capacity to ambush blue helmets from the UN’a Stabilization Mission in DRC (MONUSCO) and government forces – the FARDC. “The ADF in particular has enormous capabilities,” Dr Salama said. “They’ve been able to overrun entire FARDC-bases in and around Beni, they’ve been able to ambush (UN) forces.” (source) ADF is an Islamist group that is a serious threat to the Congolese government as well as relief workers. If WHO and its partners had to leave North Kivu … we would have grave concerns that this outbreak would not be able to be well controlled in the coming weeks or months.” (source) But it isn’t only violence and war that are factors in this “perfect storm.” Local traditions are making it the Ebola outbreak more likely to spread. The local traditions in the Congo are making relief efforts more difficult. …“We’ve heard this morning, that that ‘ville morte’, which was yesterday, has now been extended right through to Friday of this week,” he said, “which basically means for the UN family, including WHO, a lockdown in Beni. Our operations are in effect suspended.” …Butembo could also declare a “ville morte” in coming days in sympathy with the people of Beni, he said, potentially increasing the chances of the situation deteriorating rapidly. “If we do see unsafe burials that can’t be responded to and symptomatic people that can’t be accessed, we can see this situation deteriorating very quickly,” Dr. Salama said. A “ville morte” is a period of mourning. Local politicians are manipulating the public so they’re afraid to be treated. Meanwhile, it’s an election year in the area and local politicians are taking full advantage of this crisis. In addition to many people’s fear of Ebola, the WHO senior official explained that the situation was being further complicated by local politicians who “exploited and manipulated” them prior to upcoming elections. Social media reaction to the outbreak was also adding to a “range of conspiracy theories”, Dr Salama said, adding that people have been “actively fleeing” health-workers, including in places where there have been a large number of cases in recent weeks. (source) “Pockets of resistance” against treatment, fueled by the politicians, are making it difficult to get a handle on new cases. Terrified people are running away from workers into areas that are inaccessible due to security concerns. We also see a very concerning trend. That resistance, driven by quite natural fear of this terrifying disease, is starting to be exploited by local politicians, and we’re very concerned in the run up to elections, projected for December, that exploitation… will gather momentum and make it very difficult to root out the last cases of Ebola.” Some people were fleeing into the forest to escape Ebola follow-up treatment and checks, sometimes moving hundreds of kilometers, he said… …social media posts were conflating Ebola with criticism of the DRC government and the United Nations and “a range of conspiracy theories”, which could put health workers at risk. (source) This fear of treatment is something we’ve seen numerous times. During the last outbreak, families literally broke into treatment facilities and took their ailing family members who were diagnosed with active Ebola to prayer meetings, where they died in the most contagious stages of the disease. The disease is now threatening Uganda Thus far, there are no cases of Ebola in Uganda, but worry has spiked as a case was confirmed near the border at a popular destination for Ugandans. Tchomia landing site is the closest Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) landing site to Ugandan districts in the Bunyoro sub-region On Friday, Ituri province vice governor Keta Upar said in a statement that the latest Ebola case had been reported in Tchomia. Tchomia is one of the busiest fish markets in eastern DRC and attracts several Ugandan businessmen from the landing sites of Butiaba, Walukoba, Kijangi, Kaiso,Sebigoro, Nkondo, Ndaiga, Ntoroko, Kyehoro and Fofo from the districts of Hoima, Buliisa, Kikuube, Ntoroko and Kagadi. Usually, Ugandan businessmen cross to Tchomia market on a weekly basis – posing a big threat that the Ebola outbreak can easily be brought into the country. Tchoima fish market operates every Thursday. (source) Ugandan officials have stepped up screening at the border. Screening of people crossing from DRC for signs and symptoms of Ebola is being conducted at official and unofficial points of entry. Communities have been sensitised about Ebola and are vigilant and reporting any suspicious cases for investigation. (source) Here’s a map that shows the area and where the case was diagnosed. photo credit: Uganda New Vision It’s encouraging to see that Uganda is not allowing political correctness to sway them from doing the right thing for their people. We can only hope that the United States will do the same in a time where deadly diseases can spread so easily. Physical check-ups of people from areas where epidemics are out of control should be the norm, not a unique thing that is protested loudly.  At least 100 people have died. The current outbreak is the 7th largest in history. In the past two months, 150 cases have been confirmed or “probable” and as of Sept. 23, 100 people had died. The worst-case scenario is that the Ebola virus continues to spread in North Kivu and moves across the border to other countries. If that happens, we could be facing a nightmare like the 2014-15 Ebola epidemic, during which more than 11,000 people died. The only good news: This time we have an effective vaccine. (source) As of Monday, 80% of Ebola contacts and three suspected cases could not be reached for disease monitoring. Additional resources Are You Prepped for a Pandemic?

28,000 Pastors Are Training To Keep You Calm On Your Way to a FEMA Camp

By karen on April 3, 2016

Many people in the independent media have reported that an estimated 28,000-100.000 pastors were recruited by FEMA/DHS, as part of the Clergy Response Team, and that their initial and primary training was to tell their flock to obey the DHS version of Romans 13. Romans 13, in the King James version of the Bible, begins: “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.” Romans 13:1 What is not being widely reported is that the training is still going on. The mayor of Roanoke, VA. is calling for the use of FEMA camps to house Muslim immigrants. How long will they be held? When will the Muslims be released? And who will take their place? We know that answer to the last question. Some pastors are speaking out and here is what they are saying. The Perversion of Romans 13 Many of us have been quick to point that this bastardization of the Romans 13 is designed to force compliance to government edicts who might not otherwise comply. Certainly all governments are not established by God. Were the governments of Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, all ordained by God? What about George the III? Most people in the independent media think that this is the extent of the threat posed by the existence of the Clergy Response Teams. Romans 13 Is Just the Tip of the Iceberg I have discovered that the Clergy Response Teams are taking on much more nefarious duties and it can be accurately stated that the pastors associated with the DHS/FEMA/Clergy Response Teams are going to be doing a whole lot more than encouraging their flock to obey the government. Pastor Mansfield attended several briefings and he could barely believe his ears. He learned of the government’s plan to enact martial law as well as to implement forced population relocations. Mansfield emphasized that when martial law is enacted, the enforcement would be immediate. In other words, family members will be separated from each other and part of the training that the clergy received was how to comfort separated family members. Pastor Mansfield told me that the pastors were trained by FEMA to go to homes where people refused to be relocated by the authorities and their immediate job was to convince the reluctant to willingly go to the relocation camps. Ostensibly, this was to be done in lieu of sending in the SWAT teams. I asked Mansfield if FEMA camps were real and he stated that much of the clergy training focused around this scenario of pastors operating within the forced relocation centers. The main goal of a pastor assigned was to bring order and encourage compliance with DHS requests, hence, the emphasis on Romans 13. Disturbingly, Pastor Mansfield reiterated several times that the number one job of these pastors is to calm down the detainees and encourage their compliance within the people’s new surroundings. Pastor Mansfield also stated that pastors will be utilized as informants. This violates the legal privilege of confidentiality between pastor and church-goer, that is currently recognized by law. All church-goers can no longer trust the sanctity of personal confessions and revelations made to pastors and priests. This one illegal act by DHS completely undermines the Christian Church in America! DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE CLERGY RESPONSE TEAM WILL BE UTILIZED IN THE EXTRACTION PROCESS OF AMERICANS, TO FORCED INTERNMENT/RESETTLEMENT CAMPS, THESE “TEAM” MEMBERS REPRESENT THE BEST CLUE WE HAVE AS TO WHEN MARTIAL LAW WILL BE CARRIED OUT. I strongly suspect that the Clergy Response Teams are a part of UWEX 16 and simply listed as DHS personnel. With a minimum of 28,000 pastors being a part of this dastardly plan, we need to all put our pastors under our watchful eye. Is your Pastor disappearing for unexplained periods of time? Network with people you know from other churches. Are your respective Pastors disappearing at the same time? Can you account for your Pastor’s travels? Last year, at Baylor University, Christians from all over the Southwest came together at Baylor’s football stadium for fellowship at an event referred to as the “Gathering“. Given the political climate in Texas, I am a little more than suspicious that this event did not bring together several Clergy Response Team members for additional training under NOVAD. Again, we need to be putting our Pastors under scrutiny because we have 28,000 Judases in our midst. Clergy Response Team Members Are Intimidated and Threatened by DHS Mansfield told me that the pastors in America are being coerced to participate because when an emergency is declared, no pastor, who does not have the “FEMA-trained government badge” will be allowed to be in a declared “emergency” SAFE area. Pastor Mansfield also felt very strongly this was the government’s way of removing Jesus from America’s landscape and set the stage for the ushering in of a new-age religion. In fact, Mansfield shared with me documentation which demonstrated DHS’s attempt to remove Jesus from the entire internment/resettlement process. The pastors were told not to quote Scripture. The DHS document which was prepared for the pastors clearly stated that Scripture had been used to “oppress” people in the past and the presenters strongly discouraged its use. Please see the following excerpt from one of the DHS training manuals: Healing Scripture and Prayer In the Pastoral Crisis Intervention “During a time of crisis people do go through a “crisis of faith.” Sometime quick mention of God and scripture may not be helpful. As we all know the Scripture has been used to oppress, dominate and at the same time used for healing and reconciliation- renewing of relationship with God and people. If the pastor senses it is appropriate to use the scripture and prayer, it must carefully be done for healing of victims not to uphold pastoral authority.” (Page 14) In other words, all legitimate pastoral authority was abrogated by the pastors who participated in the roundup of American citizens. Also on page 14 of the same training document, pastors were admonished to avoid “Unhealthy God talk….” Specifically pastors are ordered to avoid using references to God when helping people cope with the loss of a loved one: “4. God must have needed him/her more than you.” “5. God never gives more than we can handle.“  Conclusion Doesn’t this strike you as odd? DHS recruits Pastors but will not let them preach the Word of God? Can we think of anyone or anything else that might support this goal? THINK HILLARY CLINTON! She will become known as the FEMA Camp President! This article first appeared by Dave Hodges of the commonsense show

Former Google bigwig launches AI “church” that positions technology as GOD

Monday, September 24, 2018 by: Isabelle Z.

(Natural News) It might be tempting to crack jokes about today’s smartphone-obsessed youth seeming to worship their devices, but for one man, the concept of technology as a deity is reaching disturbing heights. Former Google executive Anthony Levandowski has filed IRS paperwork to establish an official religion devoted to technology. Not only will this bizarre religion worship scientific progress, but it will also worship artificial intelligence and create a “godhead.” According to his filing, this new non-profit religious organization, which will be known as “Way of the Future,” will “develop and promote the realization of a Godhead based on artificial intelligence and through understanding and worship of the Godhead [to] contribute to the betterment of society.” The papers show Levandowski as the “dean,” or leader, of the new religion and the CEO of a nonprofit corporation that he has set up for the purposes of running it. According to the Way of the Future’s website, the goal is creating a respectful and peaceful transition from humans being in charge of the planet to humans and machines governing it together. It will also fund research that will help to create the “divine AI.” The site goes on to explain that as technology gets closer to being able to surpass the abilities of humans, the church wants to educate people and ease the transition to this new way of being, adding: “In ‘recent’ years, we have expanded our concept of rights to both sexes, minority groups and even animals, let’s make sure we find a way for ‘machines’ to get rights too.” Maybe he wants people to be able to marry their computers?

Download here.    He said that humans currently run the planet because we’re smarter than the other animals and have the ability to apply rules and build tools. As machines grow smarter than us, however, he feels that they will take the reins from humans. He believes that the “divine AI” will have another godlike quality, omniscience. After all, our reliance on technology and use of cell phones and data centers mean that everything there is to know about us can be accessed by those with the technological know-how. Levandowski said that because AI is smarter than us, it will ultimately decide how it is going to evolve, but we can decide the way we want to act around it. For his part, he would like “the machine” to “think” of us humans as beloved elders that it needs to respect and take care of. New religion will recruit members in California The religion aims to establish working relationships with leaders in the AI industry and will use community outreach to recruit members. They will conduct educational programs and worships in the Bay Area in the next few months, according to the filings. Levandowski told WIRED that he opted to make it a church instead of a think tank because he wanted everyone to participate, regardless of their technological skills. He also believed it would help avoid suspicions he’s doing this as a way of making money, as he will not receive any salary from the church. The IRS granted the church a tax-exempt status in August. Skepticism about the concept aside, the religion’s “dean” is also questionable. Levandowski was an engineer behind Google’s self-driving car project, Waymo, before quitting to start his own autonomous trucking company. He sold the firm he created, Otto, to Uber last July for more than $680 million. He was later sued by Waymo over claims he downloaded files and trade secrets prior to his resignation and shared them with Uber. Uber later fired him for his refusal to cooperate in an internal investigation. Sources include: PJMedia.com KansasCity.com

"We Are Bigger than Your Jesus!"

Extremist Persecution of Christians, March 2018

by Raymond Ibrahim September 23, 2018 at 5:00 am

If any measure of peace between Muslims and Christians is to prevail, no church can exist in the village, local Muslims said. "The only houses of worship that can ever be built in this village are Muslim places of worship for Allah." — Watan International, Egypt. "The Al Shabaab are now hunting down the children in Mogadishu, and we have moved the care center to a bit safer location.... The children look devastated and malnourished, so we as a secret church do appeal to our brothers and sisters in the free world to consider extending a hand to these persecuted children."Pastor of an underground church, Somalia. "[I]t seems that the Muslims intentionally wanted to pick a fight with us." — Pastor of King Jesus Church, Pakistan. Muslim Slaughter of Christians Pakistan: In a Lahore hospital, a throng of Muslim doctors, security guards, and medical staff beat Christian family membersone to death — because they tried to prevent another doctor from beating their pregnant sister. According to Anil Saleem, the pregnant woman's brother, once they took her to the emergency labor ward at Services Hospital: "Kiran [the pregnant woman] went to the doctor on duty, Dr. Saira, who was playing with her cell phone while sipping on tea. Dr. Saira told Kiran to wait outside until she finished her tea. We waited for some time, but since Kiran was experiencing severe pain, she again went inside the ward to request for immediate attention." The doctor instantly began cursing the pregnant woman for bothering her. "When my sister protested against the rude behavior, the doctor started slapping her, throwing her on the floor. She asked my sister how dare a Chuhri [a derogatory term for Christians] question her order?" On hearing the commotion, Anil, his brother, brother-in-law and a cousin entered the ward. Once she saw them, Dr. Saira shouted to the other doctors and security guards to lock the ward's doors from the inside and "teach these Christians a lesson," continued Anil: "Around 15 to 20 paramedical staff and security guards and eight to 10 young doctors ... lunged at us with iron rods, chairs, leather belts and other things and started beating us." The men were severely injured. Anil's brother, Sunil, died for lack of medical attention: "Most of the doctors fled after the incident, while those who were present paid no attention to our cries to help our dying brother." Sunil leaves behind a wife and four children, the eldest ten, the youngest barely three months old. Although the assaulted Christian family filed charges with police, no one was arrested. Instead, the police "wanted to take us to the same hospital where we had been subjected to torture and also lost our brother," Anil said. "Moreover, we have registered a murder case against the doctors and other staff members, so how could the police even think that the hospital staff will treat us fairly?" Speaking of this incident, a human rights lawmaker said, "It's shocking that even doctors, who are supposedly educated and have taken an oath to save lives regardless of caste, color or faith, have resorted to such acts of religious intolerance and violence." "I am still trying to digest the fact that doctors took the life of an innocent man," said another rights activist. "What hope can one have for justice to the family if police have been unable to arrest even one of the accused?" In a separate incident, in a move criticized by Christian activist groups, after "giving them the benefit of doubt," a court freed 20 Muslims suspected of immolating a Christian couple, says a report, adding: "Shahzad and Shama were burned alive in a brick kiln by a frenzied lynch mob ─ incited by announcements made from mosques in the area ─ ranging between 400-1,000 people for their alleged role in the desecration of the Holy Quran in Nov 2014.... [T]he woman, a mother of three, was pregnant at the time." Nigeria: After a group of Christians tried to rescue two girls who were earlier kidnapped and forcibly converted to Islam, Muslims, some armed with assault rifles, rampaged through the Christian town of the would-be rescuers. The Muslims murdered 12 Christians, wounded another 20, and torched Christian property. Many of the slain were members of Pentecostal, Baptist, Assemblies of God and Seventh-day Adventist churches. "The case was reported to the police, and the girls were not rescued, so some Christians decided to rescue the girls, but the Muslims in the town attacked them," explained a local. "The Muslims did not just attack the Christians that went to rescue the girls, but also went around town attacking Christians they sighted and burned houses belonging to Christians." Another local said, "This is the practice by Muslims in Kaduna state. They abduct small Christian girls and force them to become Muslims, and when Christians reject this, they attack them ...." Separately, armed Muslim Fulani herdsmen murdered 20 Christians, including a pastor. According to the report: "The killings reportedly came in retaliation for an unspecified attack on Fulani families by young men from the predominantly Christian Bachama tribe who have formed militias in response to violence by Islamic extremist group Boko Haram and heavily-armed Muslim Fulani herdsmen." Egypt: Although the military said it was suicide, a young Christian conscript "was in fact killed by his commanding officer," says a report. Matthew Samir Habib, 22, was pronounced dead on March 14. The military told his father, Samir, that Matthew had shot himself — apparently twice. According to a relative: "Matthew told us many times before that the colonel in his military unit, Ayman Mohamad Ahmed El Kabeer, was always persecuting and insulting him because of his religious identity. Matthew, however, was patient and endured it all. His friends from the same unit told us that there had been a quarrel between Colonel El Kabeer and him on the day of the incident, when he had objected to something the colonel said." Habib is the latest of about nine Christian soldiers to be murdered in recent times by Muslim officers and soldiers on account of their faith. Iraq: A few days after gunmen shot Samir Younis, 28, a Christian father of two, four other men broke into the house of Hisham al-Maskouny, a Christian doctor, and stabbed him to death on March 10. When his wife and her mother tried to intervene, they too were slaughtered. Although the home was looted, local Christians say they were targeted because of their religious identity. Discussing these murders, Father Biyos Qasha said, "This means that there is no place for Christians. We are seen as a lamb to be killed at any time." Others in Baghdad voiced the same sentiment: "As a Christian, life is good so long as you don't have enemies," said one resident. "(Also you shouldn't) bring attention to yourself... I feel depressed because of what happened for Hisham and his family, even (though) it is something that has happened so often since 2003, but it still makes me sad."   Somalia: Orphans whose Christian parents are killed for their faith are growing in number and in need of care, said the pastor of an underground church. "Last year we lost a Christian family killed by the Al Shabaab, and the number of children rose from 30 to 35. The Al Shabaab are now hunting down the children in Mogadishu, and we have moved the care center to a bit safer location.... The children look devastated and malnourished, so we as a secret church do appeal to our brothers and sisters in the free world to consider extending a hand to these persecuted children." Muslim Attacks on Christian Churches Turkey: A report briefly notes that on March 6, a man in his forties opened fire on the Saint Maria Catholic Church in Trabzon. It was just the latest in several attacks on the church. Less than a month earlier, a makeshift bomb was thrown at the church's garden; in 2016 Muslims crying "Allahu Akbar" vandalized the church, using sledgehammers among other objects; in 2011 the church was targeted and threatened for its visible cross, and in 2006 its priest was slaughtered during an armed attack. Indonesia: Less than a month after a radicalized student stormed a church and started hacking at its worshippers and statues with a machete, six unknown persons firebombed St. Zechariah Church shortly after midnight on March 8. According to the report: "...a group of six vandals blew a hole through the wall of the church, consecrated just last March 4 by Msgr. Sudarso. The strangers then destroyed a statue of the Virgin and stacked some chairs setting them on fire. The noise woke the faithful who live nearby. They rushed to extinguish the flames, while the thugs fled from the place of worship." Pakistan: On March 8, around 15 armed Muslims, led by local strongman Muhammad Sharif, stormed the King Jesus Church during Sunday service; they terrorized and beat the worshippers and injured at least seven. According to the pastor: "Some of our church elders were trying to install a flex signboard in connection with the upcoming Easter festival on the wall in front of the church but they were stopped by Sharif's sons. Sharif is a local tough who has previously grabbed a piece of the Christian cemetery in our colony and built a cattle shed on the graves.... Suspicions also arose when these Muslim youths started hanging out near the church during service timings and began teasing our girls." Things came to a head when Sharif's sons accosted some elders for trying to post a Christian sign on church property. "The elders tried to reason with the youths," said the pastor, "but it seems that the Muslims intentionally wanted to pick a fight with us. The Muslims snatched the church's sign and tore it into pieces." When "one of our church elders told the Muslims that they had desecrated biblical verses inscribed on the flex sign," they retorted "We are bigger than your Jesus." It was then that the Muslim youth stormed the church compound and beat the worshippers. "Some of them whipped out their weapons and opened fire on the church members, who ran to save themselves. I immediately telephoned the police and headed out to try and defuse the situation. However, I was also beaten up, my service robe torn and my mobile phone smashed to the ground. I think we were fortunate that none of us suffered a fatal bullet injury during the clash." In a separate incident, on Sunday, March 18, an armed Muslim mob attacked another Christian church for having a banner related to Easter hanging outside the building. Seven Christians were left needing medical attention. According to the pastor: "I was conducting a worship service when [a group of men, including a government official], equipped with firearms, barged into the church. As soon as they entered, [two of them] forcibly took down gospel verses written on banners, while shouting abusive words, tore them into pieces and then denigrated them by throwing them down." Finally, on the pretext of a land dispute, a Muslim mob beat five Christians for trying to build a wall to protect their church. According to the pastor of Pakistan Gospel Assemblies Church: "Our church elder, George Masih, who was 70, was overseeing masons and laborers who were constructing the wall. We were praying [inside the church] when we heard shouting and yelling and, when we rushed outside, we saw about 20 men, armed with clubs and axes, [who] were beating Masih and others... Then our women tried to intervene but they too were beaten and their clothes were torn." Algeria: Three more churches were shut down. First, local authorities in Oran closed two churches "amidst growing pressure on Christians in the Maghreb country," says a March 1 report. "The two churches ... were sealed off by police on Tuesday, 27 February." A separate report from March 22 says that the "village church in Azagher, near the town of Akbou, was forced to stop all activities on 2 March. The church had been running for over six years..... The church is the fourth forced to close in the past four months." Commenting on this uptick of church closures, an advocacy group said that they were part of a "coordinated campaign of intensified action against churches by the governing authorities." In a different event, two Christian brothers were fined $900 each for transporting more than 50 Bibles in their car. The brothers said the Bibles were for church use but authorities insisted that they were meant for evangelizing. Egypt: Muslims blocked the legalization of yet another church, this time in the village of al-Tout. According to the report: "The small 10-year old church of the Holy Virgin, which serves some 400 Coptic villagers, was built as a village house in the midst of a collection of some 70 Copts' houses, and was used for worship even though it had never been licensed as a church. This was a very common situation in Egypt: Copts resorted to worshipping in unlicensed churches owing to the dire need of the growing population and the near-impossibility of obtaining license to build a church." Then a celebrated law dedicated to easing restrictions on churches passed in 2016, and the al-Toud church was among the very first churches to be inspected by a committee for approval. But then "village Muslims got wind of the matter," says the report. "Egged on by calls broadcast through mosque microphones in the village, thousands of them held angry demonstrations against there being a church in the village. Screaming 'Allahu Akbar' ('Allah is the Greatest') and angry slogans against the church, they attacked the Copts' houses with stones and rushed to hastily build a wall blocking access to the street leading to the church and, in the process, placing the Copts' homes under siege. When the committee members arrived, they were forced away under the pretext that there was no church in that place." If any measure of peace between Muslims and Christians is to prevail, no church can exist in the village, local Muslims said, adding, "The only houses of worship that can ever be built in this village are Muslim places of worship for Allah." A separate report offers more general information, including why the "decision to legalize 53 churches did little to impress Egypt's Christian minority. One of the reasons is that they are just a fraction of the unlicensed churches in Egypt..." Also, reason, according to a human rights activist: "The Christians are afraid to pray at hundreds of churches ... because they know that the prayers will incite the radicals and cause bloodshed. There is total frustration among Christians because of the failure of the government to legalize the churches." The report adds that, "although the population of the Christian minority is estimated at 9 million ... there are only 6,000 churches in the country. Many Christians must travel long distances to reach a church." And although the majority of Christians live in the more rural parts of southern Egypt, about 150 villages there "do not have access to a church at all and most of Egypt's churches are concentrated in Cairo, Giza province and Alexandria." Muslim Attacks on Christian Freedom and Dignity Indonesia: Two Christians were publicly flogged in front of a mosque for playing a children's game said to violate Islamic law. According to the report: "The game [unspecified] is seen by authorities in the conservative Muslim province [of Banda Aceh] as 'gambling' and therefore it violates Islamic Sharia law. Some 300 people jeered and held up their mobile phones to record when Dahlan Silitonga, 61, and Tjia Nyuk Hwa, 45, were flogged six and seven times respectively. The pair had been arrested along with a third man for playing a game at a children's entertainment complex that lets users exchange coins for prizes or vouchers, including cash. They were among five people—including a couple whipped two dozen times each for showing affection in public—receiving between six and 24 lashes with a rattan stick." Nigeria: After kidnapping 110 school girls in Dapchi, the Islamic jihadi organization, Boko Haram, ended up releasing them all, except for one Christian girl, Liya, because she refused to convert to Islam. According to her father, "they said she is a Christian and that is why they cannot release her. They said if she wants to be released" she must "become a Muslim and she said she will never become a Muslim." After all the other girls were released and returned to their parents, he described the mood in Dapchi as one of "jubilation," whereas "I am very sad but I am also jubilating too because my daughter did not denounce Christ." Egypt: Magdy Farag Samir, 49, a Christian teacher, was arrested on March 14 and charged with "contempt for religion" — more colloquially known as the blasphemy law — three months after he administered a multiple choice test revolving around prophet Muhammad. This outraged some Muslim students and parents. "Many Copts are being charged with contempt of religion and jailed for nothing...because the revolution dropped the Muslim Brotherhood but left their ideology unchanged," explained a local human rights activist in the context of this case. "Egypt's law of contempt of religion only applies to one side — Islam. Crimes of contempt in Egypt only refer to contempt of Islam." Uganda: A Muslim family attacked a male family member with boiling oil for becoming Christian. A week earlier, on Sunday March 4, Gobera Bashir, 27, had accompanied a friend to church in a different village; during service he accepted Christ and a pastor gave him a Bible, adding, "Be cautious when reading the Bible, since your family is a Muslim family." Four days later his young sister walked into his room while he was reading the Bible. "Why are you reading the Bible? You know our family only reads the Koran," she said. He replied that he was merely trying to gain knowledge, but word soon spread that he was in possession of a Bible. On March 10, around 9:30 pm, a group of people began knocking on the door of his home. When he refused to answer, they broke in. "As they entered the house, they found me in the sitting room and began tying my arms and legs with robes and shouting, 'Shame! Shame! You are bringing a bad omen to the family with your bad Christian religion. Our family is a Muslim family.'" Although the men were masked, he determined that some, including his uncle, were related to him. "There and then," continues Gobera "one of them poured a hot liquid from a thermos flask on me, and then they dragged me out of the house" to a nearby swamp. "As they pulled me, I felt a lot of pain and screamed for help as one of the attackers blocked my mouth, and there I lost consciousness. I only gained consciousness around midnight." A nearby Christian family took him in. He received medical treatment at a health center for four days. Burns covered 40% of his body. Most were on his legs and buttocks, caused when his persecutors forced him to sit on the scorching oil. Saudi Arabia: The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom issued a statement on March 24 saying that it "is disappointed to find inflammatory content in Saudi textbooks that was previously thought to have been removed." A study conducted by the commission "uncovered content promoting violence and hatred toward religious minorities and others." "While the Saudi government has been engaged in textbook reform for the last 15 years, the presence of these passages makes clear how little progress has been made and highlights an immediate need for the Saudi government to more seriously address this issue, as well as the exportation of these textbooks internationally, as a part of its ambitious reform process." Previous studies have found that Saudi school textbooks regularly dehumanize non-Muslims, Christians and Jews chief among them. Raymond Ibrahim, author of the new book, Sword and Scimitar, Fourteen Centuries of War between Islam and the West, is a Distinguished Senior Fellow at the Gatestone Institute and a Judith Rosen Friedman Fellow at the Middle East Forum. About this Series While not all, or even most, Muslims are involved, persecution of Christians by Muslim extremists is growing. The report posits that such Muslim persecution is not random but rather systematic, and takes place irrespective of language, ethnicity, or location.

World War Looms Over Syria

31,130 views Israeli News Live Streamed live on Sep 25, 2018

Russia vows to send the S-300 defense missile system to Syria as the US and its allys threaten retaliation. But why is a defense system such an issue, does Syria have no right to self defense? Also the US is building military bases right on the border of Russia what will happen if Russia builds a base in Cuba? Cold War I think not this time it looks more like a Hot War.

Military camera can detect tripwires, booby traps and camouflaged targets in PITCH BLACK after thermal imaging breakthrough that could make night vision clearer than ever before

Camera senses polarised light which means hidden objects can be clearly seen

it shows images in such detail that soldiers can identify specific individuals

It also helps them differentiate between man-made and natural objects

A light wave that is vibrating in more than one plane is called unpolarised light

However, polarised light is when light waves vibrate at random angles

Different objects polarise light to different degrees

By Phoebe Weston For Mailonline Published: 08:43 EDT, 26 September 2018 | Updated: 10:46 EDT, 26 September 2018

An amazing new type of thermal imaging camera could revolutionise the battlefield as it means soldiers can see objects in high detail – even if it's pitch black. The camera can sense polarised light which means hidden objects such as tripwires, booby traps and camouflaged targets can be clearly seen for the first time. It shows images in such detail that soldiers will even be able to detect and identify specific individuals, military researchers say. It also helps them differentiate between man-made objects like trucks and aircraft (which emit more polarised radiation) and natural radiation that is emitted from trees and bushes. The research is being led by experimental physicist Dr Kristan Gurton and electronics engineer Dr Sean Hu for the US Army Research Laboratory (ARL). According to Dr Gurton, all objects that have a non-zero temperature emit thermal radiation in the infrared portion of the spectrum. The 'intensity' of that radiation is proportional to its temperature. Researchers say thermal radiation is always present in the environment regardless of whether it's day or night. The army already uses thermal cameras to 'see' objects that are hidden in the dark. However, in addition to the 'intensity' of the infrared light, there is another characteristic of light that is often ignored when it comes to imaging: polarisation state. 'Researchers have known for about 30 years that manmade objects emit thermal radiation that is partially polarised, e.g., trucks, aircraft, buildings, vehicles, etc., and that natural objects like grass, soil, trees and bushes tend to emit thermal radiation that exhibits very little polarisation,' Dr Gurton said. A light wave that is vibrating in more than one plane is called unpolarised light. For example light from the sun or a candle is unpolarised.

Three Phases of Surveillance to Totalitarianism: It is Happening Now

Jeremiah Johnson September 24th, 2018 SHTFplan.com Comments (29) Read by 4,884 people

Over the past year and a half, I’ve written many pieces on the surveillance state and how we are one step away from the inculcation of technological “omniscience” pertaining to control. The objective is not simply “control,” as they have already obtained that for the most part: limiting cash withdrawals from the bank, restricting your movements and business outside of the country, and new laws being created by the day. This latter part is akin to a “tag team” event of WWF: what the feds can’t or won’t do, they “tag” off for the states to accomplish, with local governments following suit. The objective is total control: over everything you read, hear, and watch in the (so-called) media, and an eyeball on you in every facet of your life. Mac Slavo released an article on SHTFplan entitled Apple is now giving people trust scores based on their calls and emails on 9/21/18. This is an example of how tech firms in the U.S., in conjunction with one another and other American business entities are instituting social engineering by controlling our communications via social media. The big picture is much more frightening, as this article comes on the heels of another, more insidious occurrence: a nationwide “scoring system” instituted in the largest surveillance state in the world…communist China. On 9/20/18, an article written by Peter Dockrill was released that will really open your eyes when you read it. The piece is entitled China’s Chilling ‘Social Credit System’ is straight out of Dystopian Sci-Fi, and it’s Already Switched On. Here is an excerpt: “China’s Social Credit System – which is expected to be fully operational by 2020 – doesn’t just monitor the nation’s almost 1.4 billion citizens. It’s also designed to control and coerce them, in a gigantic social engineering experiment that some have called the “gamification of trust…assigning an individual trust score to each and every citizen, and to businesses too. According to China’s Communist Party, the system will “allow the trustworthy to roam freely under heaven while making it hard for the discredited to take a single step.” To pull this off, the unprecedented scheme will harness the immense reach of China’s technological infrastructure: some 200 million CCTV cameras… The idea is these ever-watchful eyes will be hooked up to facial recognition systems, and cross-checked with financial, medical records, and legal records – with the whole apparatus regulated and interpreted by advanced, big-data-crunching AI networks.” The article goes on to tell of how it is already in place: it is just not completely finished. The piece also presents the case of a Chinese journalist who was sidelined and marginalized for criticizing the government. In brief, the system will allow a privileged few to do what they want, and the rest restricted in every portion of their lives, even more than today. Three Phases are evident within this progression of surveillance to totalitarianism. Here they are: Inception and Initial Emplacement: The “new measure” is put into place, eventually becoming widespread and taking root. CCTV cameras started out as simple video cameras in the convenience store, liquor store, bank, and the parking lot to workplaces. Now they sprout up in the intersections, the shopping malls, the cafes, and the bus terminals. This is the beginning of surveillance. Fostered Dependence and Regulation: The ever-present “bogeyman” in our society is the invisible malcontent, labeled as a terrorist, and this creates the “need” for more security and greater surveillance. The sacred goal: to keep everyone “safe,” is a boldfaced lie. The paradigm is shifted, and the senses of the populace are dulled (not very much work in that department) to not even pay the increased surveillance any mind. Over the past two decades, the corporations, the government (federal, state, and local), and the moneyed interests (oligarchs and politicians) have quietly inculcated a cross-linked and cross-functioning surveillance “net” or network…all cameras accessible and tied in to the information systems of the authorities. Authorities: those who are backed by the State and enforce the State’s edicts with firearms. Bio-scanning facial recognition, complete body scanners, and fingerprint recognition are now just a “matter of fact” in airports. Just five years ago, the mobs were ready to storm the TSA with torches and pitchforks for the “affront at having their bodies exposed,” blah, blah, blah, yada, yada. The torches burned out and the pitchforks are back in the garden sheds. Now surveillance is the norm, and it’s backed by regulation. “Phase 2” is the transition from surveillance being present to the creation of the Surveillance State. Total Surveillance: Control, and beyond. We have not reached this phase yet in the United States, but we’re well on our way there. Look to China. China is the model, the template, the “guinea pig” for the totalitarian road map of one world government…in reality, a world of slavery. Kissinger, Bill Gates, Soros, and a plethora of others all laud Communist China as the blueprint for the world state. Remember: Gates has scheduled (with his team of investors) to place 500 satellites in orbit to map the entire globe in real time, by late Spring of next year. When that “omniscient” surveillance is in place, what do you think they’ll do then? What they will do is follow their Malthusian leanings, toward Thomas Malthus’s recommendations for global population reduction in the interests of “saving the planet and its resources.” In reality, to cull the herd, reducing it to a more “manageable” population of masters and slaves, the latter category making up the majority in a world not much different from that of Orwell’s “1984.” The article by Mac Slavo shows what they’re doing in this country at the “micro” level: the efforts being put forth to limit people in their communications via “social media,” and socially engineer the consciousness and actions of the people passively before the active engineering (first by rule of law and then by force) occurs. When that is complete? Look to the past to see what will happen in the future, and the answer is right there. The solution is not that simple, and the more the system emplaces the control, the more difficult it will be to exercise that solution.

A New Era Of Chaos Is Coming To America This Week Former Secret Service Agent Warns: 'If You Don't Have The Spine For What's Coming, Don't Turn On The TV'

- As Julian Assange And Ben Carson Issue Warnings To America And The World

September 25, 2018  By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

In a very important recent story over at the Daily Mail that has been totally censored by the mainstream media, they report that according to President Trump's Housing Secretary Ben Carson, a long-running socialist plot to take over America has been behind the recent Brett Kavanaugh sexual assault allegations. While the mainstream media and big tech will do everything in their power to stifle Carson's claims, quite literally calling anyone who believes them a 'tinfoil-hat-wearing conspiracy theorist', a closer look at Carson's warnings finds not only a shadowy conspiracy that has existed in America for over 100 years, but brings us straight to a cryptic warning recently given by Julian Assange of Wikileaks who eerily stated in his last pre-blackout interview: "This is the last free generation". And while Assange warned of the technological prisons that have been constructed all around us in this age of never-ending surveillance cameras capturing the every move of Americans both out in the world while google and big tech's A.I. captures and records everything going on online, Assange adds in quite the understatement: "It smells a bit like totalitarianism – in some way." You can see Assange's entire last interview before his information blackout began in the first video below from Real.Video. bongino_tweet_2.png And with America now in what promises to be one of the biggest political weeks in this country since the 2016 election with a seat on the US Supreme Court hanging in the balance and a huge revelation awaiting America with the forthcoming declassification of the FISA court documents and the firing/resignation of Assistant US Attorney General Rod Rosenstein further dividing Americans, former US Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino recently warned the American people on twitter to hold on to our hats as the corrupt left are preparing to usher in an entirely new era of chaos and crazy this week. Warning that the extreme left will surely sink to entirely new low levels of depravity with Kavanaugh potentially being voted into the Supreme Court by the end of the week, the fact that Dianne Feinstein and the left have gone to the extent of attempting to give credibility to a rumor of something that may or may not have happened 36 years ago to destroy a good man and to further enrage the left shows us just how desperate they now are to stop Kavanaugh, and they'll resort to the dirtiest tricks to do so. With Bongino warning in his series of tweets that it's about to get very ugly in DC and on Capitol Hill, with protestors likely becoming more and more unhinged as the week moves on and closer to a vote, and violent and aggressive 'protests' being quite possible, this could be a make or break week for both political parties. With a block of Kavanaugh's nomination surely to send the left into shrieks of uncontrollable madness and soy-induced glee ahead of the mid-terms while a Kavanaugh confirmation would surely complete the left's detatchment from reality as Bongino warns as they complete their meltdown into madness. bongino_tweet_3.png While we've long believed when it comes to rumored forthcoming indictments and arrests of corrupt deep state officials that "we'll believe it when we see it", in this new story from Mike Adams over at Natural News and the 2nd and final video below from Adams at Counterthink, he argues that already signed Executive Orders indicate that President Trump is planning mass arrests and military tribunals for deep state traitors such as James Comey, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. And while we still say "we'll believe it when we see it" and not until then, and we certainly won't be holding our breaths waiting for it to happen, should such mass arrests happen it would be easy to understand why that would be the straw that broke the camel's back, sending the already enrage left into full-scale meltdown's all across the country, with the potential of extreme violence, perhaps even leading to martial law being declared ahead of civil war. And while we'd love to see such mass arrests of the traitors who sold out America for some kind of totalitarian, luciferian 'new world order', and Americans are clearly overdue seeing justice served, we should also be paying very close attention to the manipulated breakdown of the masses on the left, pushing for mob rule, as if Hillary and the Congressional leaders on the left are some kind of 'pied piper', playing a tune driving the left over the cliff of insanity. All eyes and ears open moving forward. As Return of Kings recently reported in their story titled "America Is Headed Towards A Civil War": The people of a nation must have common ideological, economic, political, and social ideas they agree upon or the nation, the civilization, will eventually die. Civil war is coming to the United States. Division, contention, fear, and silent invasion are being used to “reshape America.” The civil war that will emerge in the United States will not be like the previous one. This war will be for the mind and heart of the United States. It will be for the soul of the United States. What will we do when this occurs and what will be rebuilt. In 2016 Roosh wrote an article titled, The Culture War Is Being Transformed Into A Hot War. Roosh discusses the methods that are being used to transform the culture war into a hot war. Even the Huffington Post ran an article in 2016 titled, The Coming of America’s Second Civil War. The author, a Rev. Dr. Susan K. Smith, paints the coming civil war as the result of white Americans. While she may believe the lies she is speaking and writing, more than likely she failed to realize she is part of the elitist machine which is being used to create contention and divide the United States. Civil wars are over ideological and social issues. Economic and political issues are extensions of ideological and social issues. As real men, we will continue to have less and less in common with soy boys and progressives. The divide between the people that support the U.S. Constitution and those that want a New World Order is growing. carson_socialist_plot.png So while the mainstream media won't even report upon the shadowy groups within the United States driving the country secretly towards socialism as an actual member of the Trump administration had recently warned, we should see in their denial part of the plot to complete the enslavement of the American people, with Conservatives being heavily censored by big tech in an attempt to influence the 2018 midterms as part of their agenda. And with 'freedom' and 'liberty' quite literally hanging in the balance should somehow the left succeed in blocking Brett Kavanaugh's nomination before sweeping to a resounding victory in the 2018 mid-terms helped to be brought on by a deflated Republican base, their energy sapped by the failure of the Republican leadership to 'grow a pair' and get Kavanaugh voted onto the Court, 2020 will loom ever more important. So let's get Kavanaugh confirmed, Republicans! With a very clear cut line now drawn between those who believe we should put America first and those who've already given up hope on our nation and sold America out to the 'new world order', we've seen more and more evidence that 'new world order' is totalitarian and tyrannical in nature and as Assange warns, we could very well be the last 'free' generation. So ANP needs to prepare our war chest for the grueling months and hopefully years ahead, promising to continue taking the fight head on to those who'd rather we stay silent. But we couldn't do it without you so for those who are in the position to help fund the battle, every little bit of help is tremendously appreciated and we can assure you, will all be spent on keeping the kinds of stories you'll never read at mainstream media outlets flowing. We also promise the only way that we'll be getting out of this fight for the future of America will be is if they 'cull us' from this planet or they are successful in waging financial war against us. Yet, as Infowars recently warned, that is the goal of those who seek to enslave us as we move ever more quickly to their 'mark of the beast' system. To all of our readers who have been graciously helping us in this fight, we thank you so much. The battle rages on. God Bless.

I and many of my esteemed colleagues in the Independent Media work tirelessly to help preserve our existing culture, civil liberties and the overall preservation of our country.

BY Dave Hodges

Nearly all of us in this business strongly desire to leave a country to our children worthy of pride, respect and loyalty. Our American culture is on the verge of slipping into the abyss of third-world country mediocrity. Compared to the country that we once enjoyed, we are handing our children a cesspool of perversion, laziness and extreme self-indulgence. JFK’s message to America in which he stated, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country” rings hollow in today’s America. We have politicians like Senator Dianne Feinstein (R-CA) who gets away with enabling a Chinese spy on her staff with impunity for over 20 years. Feinstein entered the Senate as a millionaire and is now worth over a billion dollars and she accomplished this amazing feat on a public servant’s salary of $170,000. Yet, we tolerate this nonsense. No wonder our children don’t think they are accountable to anyone. No wonder our children don’t think that they have to earn what they get and no wonder our country has been undermined by liberals from the bottom up. People in my profession work so very hard to preserve this country and then something catches our attention and it leaves us asking “Why are we wasting our time…”? The Lessons of My Youth In my family, if I were to ever get in trouble at school, I was even more in trouble at home. Some of my teachers were incredibly difficult. They allowed for no excuses. The only thing that mattered was your final product. Was it good enough? You either passed or you failed. There were no liberal-orientated policies in place where every kid got a trophy, nobody fails and the primary concern was not damaging “Sally’s self-esteem”. And when my teachers were done with us, we had to contend with coaches who made us afraid to fail. They taught us how to overcome the “disease of me” and sacrifice for our team. Most of all, our coaches taught us how to bounce back from setbacks and how to deal with adversity. In many of today’s public schools, are children are learning the opposite. Our children are shielded from the naturally occurring consequences of their actions. In large part, our children never learn to develop a spirit of resilience because they are shielded from results of their bad decisions. In many of our schools are children are being taught that one should get rewarded for simply showing up. We are certainly not teaching them to honor God. How many of you parents would like to work for a boss that enabled our personal laziness? In effect, our children are being propagandized to accept and embrace mediocrity. Subsequently, I am left asking some very fundamental questions. Even if we are successful in eradicating the liberal, communist-orientated threat to our country, will our children be able to rightfully take their place in successfully leading our nation into the next generation? As we prepare to hand our children the keys to the car, so to speak, we need to ask if our children even will know how to drive the car. A recent poll revealed that 53% Millennials prefer socialism over free enterprise. In other words, we have allowed the conditioning of our children to include the acceptance of failure. Please remember, socialism has never worked anywhere it has been tried and America is about to become the latest nation to reinforce this lesson of history. America’s Version of the Hitler Youth Movement The undermining of our youth is happening in places where one would expect the opposite to be happening. Many our schools have become social engineering experiments for the implementation of a liberal-orientated group think approach to laziness and self-indulgent behavior. Let’s take the K-8 West Gate School in Port St. Lucie, FL., as an example of the Marxist-socialist conditioning of our youth. There Is No Such Thing As a Stinking Due Date Due dates are a thing of the past. For the Millennial youth of today, showing up for work and producing is so… well… yesteryear. Minimum wage should be $20 per hour. “Who are you to judge me and I can live in my mom’s basement till I am 40”. Eight years of Obama’s welfare state and his moronic Common Core education program have done irreparable harm to our children. Obama may no longer be the President, but his nonsensical and moronic notions of a nanny state are still with us today. Take the Port St. Lucie K-8 West Gate school as a prime example. Former West Gate teacher, Diane Tirado, claims she was fired after she refused to follow her school district’s “no zeros” grading policy as reported by WFTV. Tirado told WFTV that in the first few weeks of the new semester, she assigned her class an “explorer notebook project.” Tirado reported that but after the two-week due date had expired, several students had failed to complete their work. This is when Tirado discovered that the school had a “no zeros” policy. She was directed to give the students 50% credit for doing nothing. After Tirado refused to give students 50% credit for work NOT turned in, she was terminated on September 14. I contacted the school district and they claim that Tirado was not terminated for failing students and that the district did NOT have a “no zeros” policy. However, the WFTV report clearly showed the policy in writing. So, we not only see the enabling of abject student laziness, we are seeing the willingness of liberal school officials to lie about their policies when they are exposed. On Tirado’s last day at West Gate, she wrote the following message and then posted it to Facebook. The message explained to her history students why she was fired. Here is the message and it should serve as a testimony of how we have failed our children. We have robbed our children of learning the values of hard work and resilience. Tirado told WFTV that she took a stand against the school’s policy because “we have a nation of kids that are expecting to get paid and live their life just for showing up and it’s not real.” Conclusion This story had a profound impact on this writer. It encapsulates how we have failed our children. Again, it leaves me wondering if it matters what kind of country we leave to our children.

Teen Stranded at Sea for 49 Days Turns to the Bible and Prayer to Survive

Kayla Koslosky | ChristianHeadlines.com Editor | Tuesday, September 25, 2018

A 19-year-old boy who was stranded at sea for seven weeks said, he survived by reading his bible and heeding the advice of his parents to pray. Indonesian teen Aldi Novel Adilang was set adrift in the Pacific Ocean while working as a lamp keeper on a floating fish trap some 80 miles off of the coast of Indonesia. Adilang had worked as a lamp keeper for three years, continuously lighting the traps lamps to attract fish. Once a week his company would come out to the floating trap to collect the fish and restock Adilang’s hut with food, water and fuel. In Mid-July, however, everything changed. Heavy winds shook the fish trap, known locally as a rompong, and snapped the moorings that held it stationary, casting him adrift. Over the next 49 days, Adilang would drift thousands of miles from home headed toward Guam, with no paddle or engine. Within the first few days, the teen ran out of supplies and had to survive by using the hut’s wood to cook fish and drinking seawater that was filtered through his clothes to dispel of the salt. Indonesian diplomat from the consulate in Osaka, Fajar Firdaus, told The Jakarta Post, “Aldi said he had been scared and often cried while adrift. Every time he saw a large ship, he said, he was hopeful, but more than 10 ships had sailed past him. None of them stopped or saw Aldi.” Newsweek reports that at one point Adilang became so discouraged that he considered jumping into the ocean and committing suicide, but when he remembered his parent's advice, he chose to turn to God instead. Adilang said his parents had taught him to pray to God during times of distress, and that is exactly what he did. The teen also had a bible on board with him and he told Tribun Manado that the Bible along with prayer helped him get through this trying experience. Finally, on August 31, Adilang spotted a carrier called Arpeggio and waved his cloth for help, this time the seamen saw Adilang too. Reportedly he also turned on his radio signal, hoping the captain would pick it up. Soon the captain saw the boy and turned the vessel around. The captain circled Adilang four times and according to Fajar, “Aldi then decided to jump into the sea to grab the rope, while the waves and wind rocked him…. The ship’s crew managed to catch his hand.” Adilang was handed over to Indonesian consulate officials in Japan on September 6 and was flown home to Manado, Indonesia, two days later. Indonesian consul general in Osaka Mirza Nurhidayat, told The Jakarta Post that Adilang is doing well and is in good health. “Aldi’s story is indeed dramatic, and we are thankful to all, the ship’s captain and the Japanese authorities that have been very helpful in ensuring Aldi’s return," Mirza said.

World Bank: Gaza economy is collapsing

“The economic deterioration in both Gaza and West Bank can no longer be counteracted by foreign aid, which has been in steady decline."

By Tovah Lazaroff September 25, 2018 13:57 2 minute read.

The Gaza economy is in a free fall with no viable solution on the horizon, the World Bank warned in a report it issued on Tuesday in advance of a top-level annual donor meeting on the sidelines of Thursday’s UN General Assembly session in New York . Donor assistance, which is declining, can no longer halt the economic deterioration in Gaza and the West Bank, the World Bank said. It plans to provide this information to the meeting – known as the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee – that will be hosted by the UN and chaired by Norwegian Foreign Minister Ine Eriksen Søreide. Among those attending will be US special envoy Jason Greenblatt; European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini; Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah and Finance Minister Shukri Bishara; and Israeli Regional Affairs Minister Tzachi Hanegbi. The AHLC meets twice a year and has continued to gather in spite of the dead- locked peace process and the tensions between the US and the Palestinians. Participants at this particular meeting are expected to grapple with the US decision not to send the anticipated $200 million in bilateral assistance to the Palestinian Authority for fiscal 2017 and its decision to halt its funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which had amounted to $360 million annually. According to the World Bank report, the Gaza economy is collapsing, registering negative 6% growth in the first quarter of 2018. The poverty rate in Gaza is 54%, meaning that every second person is living below the poverty line, the World Bank said. “The economic and social situation in Gaza has been declining for over a decade but has deteriorated exponentially in recent months, reaching a critical point. Increased frustration is feeding into the increased tensions which have already started spilling over into unrest and setting back the human development of the region’s large youth population,” said Marina Wes, World Bank country director for the West Bank and Gaza. The World Bank said on Tuesday that: “The economic deterioration in both Gaza and [the] West Bank can no longer be counteracted by foreign aid, which has been in steady decline, nor by the private sector which remains confined by restrictions on movement, access to primary materials and trade. “Moreover, the deterioration in the fiscal situation leaves the PA with limited scope to provide relief. With donor funding declining and a full year deficit of USD 1.24 billion, the financing gap is projected at US $600 million,” the World Bank said. “Against this background, a significant downside risk is the recent Israeli legislation to withhold clearance revenues (Tax and VAT collected by Israel on behalf of the Palestinian Authority), estimated at US $350 million per year,” the World Bank said. It blamed a number of factors, including Israeli restrictions on goods and movement into Gaza and Palestinian Authority sanctions against the Hamas ruled enclave in an attempt to force Hamas to relinquish its authority there. “We have reached a very challenging moment in the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians,” Søreide said in advance of Thursday’s meeting. The gathering “will be important to confirm international support for a negotiated two-state solution. Viable Palestinian institutions are a precondition for the two-state solution. It is also essential to take practical steps which can strengthen the Palestinian economy,” Søreide said.

Israel Strikes 200 Iranian Targets to Block 'an Outpost for Destroying Us', Russia Throws in a Monkey Wrench

09-25-2018 George Thomas CBNNews.com Displaying 30+ Stories

Israel's army, which has reportedly struck over 200 Iranian targets inside Syria over the past year, is vowing to continue their military operations against the Islamic regime's forces. "Israel has no choice but to keep striking in every possible way at Iranian positions in Syria," Michael Oren, Israel's deputy minister for diplomacy, warned Tuesday. On Monday, Russia announced it would supply Syria's government with the sophisticated S-300 surface-to-air missile defense system, which Israel fears Syria or Hezbollah could use against it. "The S-300 is one of the world's most advanced and sophisticated anti-aircraft systems and yes it is a challenge for us," Oren said. "We will overcome it as we have overcome similar challenges in the past, and again, Israel will do everything that needs to be done to ensure that Syria does not become an Iranian outpost for destroying us." Israel says Iran has spent the last few years trying to establish a military presence in Syria that could serve as a potential forward attacking base against the Jewish state. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told reporters that his nation will "continue to act against the entrenchment of the Iranian military in Syria" despite Russia's decision to supply Syria with the S-300 system. "Israel has been very successful in the last three years in preventing Iran's military buildup in Syria as well as its attempts to deliver lethal weapons to Hezbollah in Lebanon," Netanyahu said. Still, Israel worries that the advanced missile system could make it more difficult for them to target Iranian positions inside Syria. "Unfortunately, the Russians have stated their intention to introduce very sophisticated anti-aircraft systems into Syria, give it to the Syrian army. That is unfortunate. We think it's the wrong decision, but irrespective, Israel is going to have to come up with solutions to that and keep on defending itself," Oren said. "We cannot let precision-guided missiles and other advanced weaponry fall into the hands of Hezbollah." Israel and US officials are scheduled to discuss the matter of the S-300 system on the sidelines of this week's UN General Assembly in New York.

Why Iran is blaming Saudi Arabia and America over the Ahvaz attack

by Tom Rogan | September 24, 2018 06:49 PM

The specificity and scale of Iranian threats that have followed Saturday's terrorist attack in Ahvaz indicate that Iran will retaliate against those it blames for the attack. And while Saudi Arabia and the UAE are at the top of Iran's blame list, the U.S. and Israel are also being mentioned. The Ahvaz attackers, likely either Arab-separatists or ISIS, targeted a military parade and killed at least 25 people. But Iran is already throwing blame at its key adversaries. On Monday, Iran's leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei seemed to promise retaliation. Alongside Khamenei, the Iranian revolutionary guard corps, or IRGC, is also fuming, with one senior general claiming that Iran has evidence the U.S. directed Saudi Arabia to carry out the attack, and that Iran's response will be "annihilating and destructive." This allegation of U.S. involvement is an IRGC fairy tale, but it is possible — though unlikely — that the Saudis had some role in supporting the attackers. Regardless, it is notable that the more moderate elements of the Iranian regime are also threatening retaliation: President Hassan Rouhani retweeted a threat from his foreign minister Javad Zarif, promising a "swift" response against the U.S. This unity of anger and purpose is telling in that it draws contrast with the increasingly bitter divisions that otherwise define the Iranian polity. In turn, it suggests either that the Iranians truly believe they have evidence of Saudi complicity in the attack, or that Rouhani's more-moderate faction believes it cannot constrain some form of hardliner response. In the context of Iran's major economic pressures and the more moderate faction's interest in mitigating U.S. oil sanctions due to enter force in November, we might have expected the more-moderates to choose more cautious rhetoric. But the Iranian regime's various factions feel increasingly boxed in and desperate. And while that sense of desperation is an underlying objective of the Trump administration's Iran policy, Iran's reaction to this attack shows how things could spin out of control. The Trump administration must proceed cautiously here. Maintaining pressure on the Iranian hardliners, Trump should offer an olive branch to Rouhani in an attempt to move the needle away from a bloody showdown and toward an improved Iranian nuclear agreement. At the same time, the U.S. must make clear to Tehran that it will not quietly tolerate any violent Iranian (or Iranian proxy) action against U.S. interests either in the Middle East, or elsewhere.

View from space: NASA satellite shows polluted Carolina rivers flowing into ocean

by DON PARKER, ABC7/WJLA Staff Tuesday, September 25th 2018

WASHINGTON (WJLA) - Images from a NASA satellite in space show dark, polluted water from Carolina rivers flowing into the Atlantic Ocean. Visible and infrared images show dissolved organic matter in the water with excess soils, sediments, decaying leaves, pollution, and other debris resulting from Hurricane Florence. “Organic matter—such as leaves, roots, or bark—contain pigments and chemicals (such as tannins) that can color the water when they dissolve. Depending on the amount of dissolved particles, the water in natural-color imagery can appear blue, green, yellow, or brown as the CDOM concentration increases,” a NASA spokesperson said. The Waccamaw River is expected to peak Wednesday at 22 feet near Conway, twice the normal flood stage, higher than the record of 17.9 feet, according to charts published by the National Weather Service. The Cape Fear and Neuse Rivers aren't expected to return to normal levels until October, the charts show.

RISE OF IRRATIONALITY

The Kavanaugh fight is spiritual warfare

Exclusive: Hal Lindsey asserts, 'Satan must be pleased. Hatred is on the rise in America'

Published: 5 days ago

Editor’s note: Hal Lindsey is the host of “The Hal Lindsey Report,” a weekly half-hour news and commentary series, and the author of “The Late Great Planet Earth,” the best-selling book of the 1970s that popularized Bible prophecy for tens of millions around the world. You can learn more about Hal Lindsey and his TV show on his website. I have spent the last six decades telling anyone who will listen that we are living in the final stretch to the end of this Age of Grace. The countdown began in earnest with the birth of the modern nation of Israel. That’s why I call Israel “God’s timeclock.” Many of the prophecies about the end times are predicated on the return of God’s people to the land He promised them. That was an event many Bible scholars thought could never happen. At various places, the Bible tells us what will be happening in the world around us. These signs will include physical events like earthquakes and wars. They will also include characteristics, attitudes and behaviors that manifest themselves in our cultures, our societies and in our individual selves. On top of this, the Bible warns that as we move closer to the end of the Age, these signs will increase in intensity and frequency. But to be candid, even I am surprised at some of the things I see playing out across our TV screens today. They are like bizarre scenes from a B-movie. Rational – or formerly rational – people engaged in behaviors and shenanigans most hack screenwriters would be embarrassed to include in their trashy screenplays. One of the hallmarks of the last days will be the rise of irrationality. Romans 1:28 says, “And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind to do those things which are not proper.” The Greek context here means God gave them over to a mind that cannot even think in its own best interest. Satan must be pleased. Hatred is on the rise in America. Everywhere we look, from politics to family life to racial groups to religious traditions to economic classes to sports, our impatience, disgust and sheer hatred of one another is exploding. Everything we once held to be true and normal now seems to be turned on its head. No one trusts anyone anymore. But it’s no wonder. Truth has become a rare commodity in America today. Conscience even rarer. I’m reminded of a remark found in Isaiah 5 that could perfectly describe the world today. Isaiah wrote, “They say that what is right is wrong and what is wrong is right; that black is white and white is black; bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter.” (Isaiah 5:20 TLB) What we see happening in America today would not have happened here even 30 years ago. But in those years, we have been rearing generations of people who have no moral compass. The forces of entertainment and education have successfully weakened our sense of heritage, responsibility, even right and wrong to the point that we can’t even think in our own best interest. That’s one reason why when people come along and challenge the prevailing “wisdom” of the last few decades, they are treated with such disdain and disregard. We see it plainly in the current Israeli/Palestinian conflict. No matter the fact that The Oslo Accord – now 25 years old – has been an unmitigated, abject failure (a disaster, really), when President Trump suggests trying something different – like actually facing the realities of life in Israel – he is labeled a neophyte or, worse, a moron. The president’s recent attempts to force the Palestinian Authority to enter serious peace negotiations with the Israelis have been met with derision at home and abroad. Though nothing has worked to end the conflict in the last 70 years, the world wants to keep doing more of the same. Isn’t that the definition of insanity? Of course, those of us who believe Bible prophecy know that only the return of Jesus Christ to this earth will bring true, lasting peace to Israel. But we who follow Jesus Christ need to wake up and smell the coffee, too. We are in the time that Jesus Himself warned us about. The time when the world – meaning the establishment – will hate us simply because we believe in and follow Him. And what the world hates, it punishes and destroys. That’s us, folks. What else can explain the utter contempt being heaped on Vice President Mike Pence? Here is a man who embodies all of the ideals that we once looked for in a man: faith, fidelity to his wife and family, loyalty, honesty, hard work and sterling morals. Yet Frank Bruni, writing in the New York Times, called Vice President Pence, “a holy terror … self-infatuated … a bigot … a liar … cruel.” He went on to accuse Mr. Pence of having “the conviction that he’s on a mission from God and a determination to mold the entire nation in the shape of his own faith, a regressive, repressive version of Christianity.” That’s the New York Times. And they’re not really talking only about Vice President Pence; that’s what the establishment thinks about you and me. The Atlantic is one of the most prestigious magazines in the United States. It recently ran an article headlined, “God’s Plan for Mike Pence.” It featured an illustration of Vice President Pence as a holy man, draped in the garb of an Apostle, his hands raised skyward and a look of holier-than-thou piety on his face. A halo framed his head. That graphic mocked not only the vice president, but all people of faith, especially Christians. The article described him as a “Bible thumper” who “often cited scripture to explain his votes.” The author, McKay Coppins called Mr. Pence, “dangerous.” He wrote, “In some quarters on the left, it has become fashionable to fret that Pence’s fundamentalist faith and comparative political savvy would make him an even more ‘dangerous’ president than Trump. He has been branded a ‘theocrat’ and a ‘Christian supremacist.'” California’s Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters has already publicly stated that once Trump has been taken care of, they’re going after the next one. That’s the vice president. And the groundwork is already being laid. On the popular television program “The View,” Joy Behar said about the vice president, “It’s one thing to talk to Jesus. It’s another thing when Jesus talks to you. That’s mental illness … hearing voices.” Though she later apologized, her apology did not diminish the left’s growing tide of panic and hatred for Vice President Pence. And us. Folks, this is nothing less than absolute spiritual warfare. What we are seeing is the rise of a new anti-Christian caste system in America. Followers of Jesus are being systematically disqualified from positions of influence. Just last year, Sen. Bernie Sanders told a Senate hearing that Christians should not be allowed to serve in high positions in the government. In the first 180 years of the Supreme Court, its justices were almost all Protestant. Today, there is one Protestant. Justice Neil Gorsuch was raised Catholic, but now attends an Episcopal church. There are four Roman Catholic justices and three Jewish justices. President Trump’s current nominee, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, is Catholic. For a while, Catholics were approved by the ruling elite, even conservative Catholics. Antonin Scalia was one of the most conservative justices in a generation. He was also a conservative Catholic. In 1986, the Senate confirmed him 98 to 0. But that was another America. Today, conservative Catholics are treated with the same disdain as evangelicals. I truly believe that one of the strongest underlying fears of the left – as embodied by the Democrat senators – is that a future Justice Kavanaugh’s religious faith, if given the opportunity, will compel him to undermine the sacred cows of the left, like abortion and gay marriage. That means that his confirmation has taken on the earmarks of spiritual warfare, not simply a review of his judicial qualifications to sit on the highest court. More than half the nation identifies as Protestant. More than a quarter identifies as evangelical. Where are they? They have been systematically filtered out of the process. They can win elections, but are largely excluded from the judiciary; from tenured posts at universities; from leadership in the nation’s think tanks; from entertainment; and from thousands of other highly influential positions. The nation that was founded by Christians on Christian principles became the envy of the world. It provided its citizens with more freedom and more prosperity than any other nation in history. Now those Christians are becoming outcasts in the nation they built. And it’s not just the Christian faith that’s under attack, but Christian values, too. Just as the Bible warned. I say it again. This is spiritual warfare. It doesn’t have anything to do with rationality or intellectual debate. When the establishment comes after you because of your Christian beliefs, recognize that the source of that hostility is Hell itself. Satan is behind the hatred of God’s people, whether it’s the Jews or true Christians. And he is going all-out to destroy the true church and everything the followers of Christ have built. That includes America. But I have some good news. Jesus said, “In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33 NASB) In 2 Corinthians 5:20, the Apostle Paul calls us “ambassadors for Christ.” Consider this. Before hostilities break out between nations, they withdraw their respective ambassadors. At some point in the near future, God will unleash His wrath against Satan and sin. But before He declares war on this sin-infested planet, God will remove His ambassadors. He will evacuate us from this hostile situation. He will get us out before the real shooting-war begins. We call this evacuation operation “The Rapture.” The Bible calls it our “blessed hope.” (Titus 2:13 NASB) See the Hal Lindsey Report on TBN, Daystar, CPM Network and various local stations with more information at HalLindsey.com  and HisChannel.com .

The Kavanaugh Hearings and the Clash Between #MeToo and #FalselyAccused

By CP Op-Ed Contributor Michael Brown | Tue 25 Sep 2018 10:03 EDT

To date, not a single alleged witness provided by Prof. Christine Blasey Ford has corroborated her charges. And until Sunday night, not another woman came forward with any charge of any kind against Judge Kavanaugh. Now, however, another woman has emerged, also claiming improper behavior from Kavanaugh when he was in college. How do we sort this out? The entire public testimony of Kavanaugh's professional life has been virtually without blemish. That's why pundits like Dennis Prager urge us not even to consider whether Kavanaugh misbehaved while in high school 36 years ago. In Prager's view, even if Kavanaugh was guilty, that's not who he has been for decades, and we should appreciate the man he is and has been for so many years. David French also reminded us that, in contrast with prominent men like Bill Clinton or Donald Trump, there is not a long line of women echoing the charges of abuse or impropriety. Because of this, he suggested, Kavanaugh has more of a presumption of innocence. Then there is the seriousness of bringing a false accusation, something that could destroy someone's career, family, or even life. Do we take that lightly? How can we? An article on National Review notes that thousands of men have been falsely accused of sexual misconduct and crimes. Many have even spent years in prison although innocent. (The article, by Michelle Malkin, was titled, "Don't 'Believe Women.' Believe Evidence.") For example, Brian Franklin, spent 21 years of a life sentence in prison after he was convicted in 1995 of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl who had committed perjury on the stand and later won a reversal of his conviction in 2016. Joshua Horner, serving a 50-year sentence for sexual abuse of a young girl, was exonerated. There had been no DNA, no corroborating witnesses, and no other forensic evidence. Just the word of his accuser. Victor Burnette cared for his grandmother and was getting ready to start his career. In 1979 a woman identified him as the man who raped her. He was convicted and spent three decades fighting to clear his name before DNA testing cleared him in 2009. Tragically, just as thousands of rapes are not reported every year, and just as countless cases of sexual abuse are not ruled in favor of the female victim, there are countless cases of false accusations against men. That's why Michelle Malkin gives these simple guidelines. The role of the press should be verification, not validation.  Rape is a devastating crime. So is lying about it. It's not victim-blaming to get to the bottom of the truth. It's liar-shaming. Don't believe a gender. Believe evidence. How, then, do we sort things out? Those who've read my previous, relevant articles know that I've done my best to remain impartial, although I've been skeptical of Ford's charges. (See here and here.) Now that another accuser has come forward, there should be a clear path forward. What does the evidence say? What do other eyewitnesses say? It's true that the attacks on Kavanaugh have the fingerprints of a Democratic hit job. But do we ignore them because their timing is beyond suspicious? If Justice Kavanaugh is not the man he claims to be (or at least, the man he claims he was back then), shouldn't we know? Conversely, if he's been falsely accused, how can we not do everything in our power to clear his name? When it comes to Ford's accusations, her credibility is not looking good. Not only did the other men she placed at the alleged party deny her report, but a lifelong female friend whom Ford referenced has also denied any knowledge of Ford's story. That doesn't mean she's evil or lying. As traumatic as the alleged event may have been, since she acknowledged being drunk and only having foggy memory of some of the salient details, she could simply be remembering incorrectly. Vividly, for sure; incorrectly, certainly possible. When it comes to the new witness, reportedly a Never Trumper (if that matters), her charges are more extreme. But they are more easily corroborated (or refuted), since she makes very specific claims about a particular party at Yale that was allegedly known to quite a few others. Already, however, we have serious reason to be skeptical of the charges brought by the new accuser, Deborah Ramirez. As reported in The New Yorker, "She was at first hesitant to speak publicly, partly because her memories contained gaps because she had been drinking at the time of the alleged incident. In her initial conversations with The New Yorker, she was reluctant to characterize Kavanaugh's role in the alleged incident with certainty. After six days of carefully assessing her memories and consulting with her attorney, Ramirez said that she felt confident enough of her recollections to say that she remembers" all the scandalous details. With all respect to this new accuser, may I ask all of you who used to drink how well you can sort out your drunken memories from more than 30 years ago? How confident would you feel swearing under oath that missing details are now coming back accurately? How sure would you be about putting someone else's life on the line based on your reconstruction of a foggy, intoxicated, old event? I've heard from professionals who have sought to explain why Prof. Ford chose not to come forward until now. They say this is in keeping with other victims of abuse. I've also heard from professionals who have explained how easy it is to alter past memories. All the more is this true if you were drunk. When it comes to Deborah Ramirez, then, even if we give her the benefit of the doubt, there should be enough other people to confirm or deny her story one way or the other. And quickly, at that. As Michelle Malkin urged, believe the evidence, not a gender. Sadly, though, should Kavanaugh be exonerated, this whole situation reminds us of how difficult our society has made it for good people to serve in public office. Who in their right mind would welcome this kind of abuse? May this also be a teachable moment for our nation before we destroy ourselves with our very own hands.

Russia bolsters Syrian air defenses amid tensions with Israel

Days after Russia blamed Israel for downing of plane over Syria, Russia vows to upgrade Syrian air defense network.

David Rosenberg, 24/09/18 20:12

Russia vowed Monday to upgrade Syria’s anti-air defense network, following the downing of a Russian military aircraft in Syrian airspace last week. The Russian Defense Ministry announced plans to arm the Syrian military with advanced S-300 surface-to-air missiles – replacing its defense network of older S-200 missiles. The Russian military will also work to actively jam the radar systems of approaching warplanes near the Syrian border. Russian President Vladimir Putin informed Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu of the plan during a phone call between the two leaders Monday, claiming that the move was needed to protect Russian soldiers deployed in Syria. Netanyahu protested the decision, saying the transfer of the missiles to “irresponsible hands” was “dangerous”. “The Prime Minister said that the transfer of advanced weapons systems to irresponsible hands would make the region more dangerous, and that Israel would continue to defend its interests and security,” the Prime Minister’s Office said Monday evening. In recent years, Russia has refused to sell the advanced surface-to-air missile system to Syria. Sergey Shoygu, Russia’s defense minister, linked the decision to reverse Russia’s policy to the downing of a Russian reconnaissance plane over Syria last week, saying the shoot-down had “pushed us to adopt adequate response measures directed at boosting the security of Russian troops.” Shoygu said the missiles would be transferred to Syria in two weeks. Last Tuesday morning, an IL-20 reconnaissance aircraft was reported missing over Syria, following an Israeli airstrike on a military research facility in northern Syria. The plane, which was carrying 15 crew members, was later declared lost, after apparently being downed by a Syria surface-to-air missile. Russian officials blamed Israel for the downing of the IL-20, saying the IDF had provided just one-minute advance notice of the impending airstrike to Russian Defense Ministry officials, adding that the Israeli fighter jets had used the IL-20 to draw the Syrian air defense network’s fire. Israel denied the claims, saying its jets were already out of the combat zone and in Israeli airspace when the IL-20 was downed, and that the IL-20 had been far from the area of the airstrikes during the Israeli operation. An IDF delegation was dispatched to Moscow last week to share information collected by Israel as part of its investigation into the incident.

Netanyahu: IDF to continue anti-Iran strikes in Syria, despite S-300

“Israel has been very successful in the last three years in preventing Iran's military buildup in Syria as well as its attempts to deliver lethal weapons to Hezbollah in Lebanon,” Netanyahu said.

By Tovah Lazaroff September 25, 2018 15:07 1 minute read.

The IDF will continue to strike at Iranian target in Syria, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said after Russia announced plans to transfer to Syria an advanced anti-missile system known as the S-300. “Israel has been very successful in the last three years in preventing Iran's military buildup in Syria as well as its attempts to deliver lethal weapons to Hezbollah in Lebanon,” Netanyahu said. He spoke before departing for New York where he plans to meet with US President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the General Assembly, for what will be their fifth, face-to-face encounter. Russian plans with regard to the S-300, which the US also opposes, will be an important part of that conversation. Israel fears that the S-300, will make it more difficult for the IDF to execute air raids against Iranian targets. The decision to transfer the S-300 comes after a Russian war plane was shot down in Syria on September 17, leading to the loss of 15 Russian military personnel. Russia has blamed Israel, while Israel in turn has accused Syria and Iran of downing the plane. Netanyahu and Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke by telephone on Monday night and agreed to continue their security coordination in Syria. “Since the tragic events in the Syrian skies, I have spoken twice with President Putin, expressing deep sorrow about the loss of lives of the Russia crew on the plane, that was irresponsibly shot down by Syrian fire,” Netanyahu said. On Tuesday morning Netanyahu held a special security cabinet meeting and brief the ministers on events with Syria, Russia and Iran. The cabinet ministers also expressed sorrow over the loss of Russian lives, Netanyahu said. “We will continue to act to prevent the Iranian military build up in Syria and to continue with the security coordination between the IDF and the Russian army,” Netanyahu said. He added that he and Putin had agreed that representatives from the Israeli and Russian armies would meet soon to discuss continued coordination in Syria. “We will do what is necessary to defend Israel's security,” Netanyahu said.

Civil War II Is Hot But For The Surface-To-Surface Missiles

September 17, 2018 by CH

Sometimes you want your perspective fortified with a dose of concentrated pessimism. Commenter Logic delivers the goods, I have been following the latest outrage of the last three days. Apparently, Brett Kavanaugh pulled a girls ponytail at the playground when he was 9 or something to that effect, and everyone on the left is losing their minds. I’m not going to analyze the myriad of ways that this accusation makes no sense (notably timing, inconsistencies, age of people involved, and other things that came up). My point is different in nature and the observation is more general. The United States is in a civil war in every way short of using arms. The institutions won’t save us any more because they no longer mean anything. There are two sides which are equally unchangeable in their minds. Both sides are not driven by the same principles (you can call it a fight between “idealism” vs “realism” to give them both credit but that is giving the one side a little too much credit I guess) but in principle both sides are largely unmoved in their beliefs and direction. The issue is that until very recently we thought that there was only one side that was rising every day (the Left) and another that was slowly dying (the Right). The leaders of the Right themselves were into some sort of pathological approval seeking path to appease the Left even to their own detriment (as long as they were not labelled as “-ists” of any kind). In a perverse sense, they were even more over-socialized in the kaczynskian sense then their Left counterparts and hence they were ok with killing their own movement as long as they were still invited to their Galas and Correspondents dinners (during which they were happy to be the butt of the joke). Meanwhile, their constituents, who are despised by the Left, were always feeling like there was only one way of doing things and that the best they could hope for was to slow down their eventual demise. Trump changed all of this. The Right realized that they don’t owe the Left shit. They could still believe what their eyes and common sense dictated to them without going through any PC filter or seeking institutional approval. I’m not going to go into depth about the Trump phenomenon but if I can summarize it into a single soundbite it would be this: “Trump PERMANENTLY awakened half of the US population to the reality of what is happening to their nation”. The emphasis is on “permanently” and I explain why reaching my conclusion. There is no way for the political situation in the US to become better. Let me repeat this. THERE. IS. NO. WAY. THINGS. GET. BETTER. It is total war at this point. It is a war of attrition. There is no scenario where everyone starts liking (or even accepting) everyone in the other side. The Left was so close to actually kill the dragon in it’s sleep. Trump awakened it but it doesn’t mean that the Right will win. It only means that it will either prevail or it will go down fighting. No middle ground. Make no mistake that both sides are out to win this thing by any means necessary. Kavanaugh doesn’t matter. The Supreme court will not matter when 70 million people from one or the other side view it as illegitimate. Nothing matters anymore. You are in the USA but it is no longer one country. It was beautiful while it lasted and it may be beautiful again. I am no prophet so I can’t say which side will be the best for this country in the long run. [ed: I can. If the Anti-White Equalist Leftoids win the war, in the long run there is no America as we know her. There is only misery, extremes of inequality, and the death of anything Beautiful and True] Human dynamics are so complicated that anyone who claims otherwise with extreme certainty is a fool. [ed: with extreme certainty, I know that Nature doesn’t suffer fools gladly for long] The Right is just more likely to use past experience and common sense about human nature as its guiding principles and insofar as the past can teach us about the future in complex situations, it is more likely that they have it right. However who knows? Maybe blind idealism and the Left’s values will be more useful for the country to survive and thrive in a changing world. Only time will tell. You can choose the poolside or the battlefield. But don’t let anyone tell you that things will ever be the same again. The US, at least the way the founding fathers have envisioned it, is no more. FYI, Creepy Joe Biden is now calling Trump supporters “dregs of society“. A bit more bite to it than the cunt’s “deplorables”, but the intended message is the same: “we don’t reason with those we consider our inferiors”. These are fighting words, dripping with dehumanizing bile. When the elites use terms like this to describe regular working stiff Americans, it is proof their hearts are blackened and they would laugh if you were killed, your children raped, and everything you hold dear reduced to ashes. How would you compromise in good faith with enemies like that? You wouldn’t. The time for op-eds and lecterns and agitprop would end and give way to the clarifying battlefield. PA adds, Solid comment, glad it didn’t drown in mod. The x-factor: White libs are not acting in their own rational self-interest. They don’t see it that way right now and there is no way of appealing to their reason the way you’d talk a friend out of making a disastrous purchase. But they might realize this in time: No matter which side wins, they lose. The key will be just how disloyal White women are to their White men, which is equivalent to asking how disloyal White women will be to their nation, for a nation is the sum total of men’s collective purpose and ambition, and America is the sum total of White men’s collective vision. If our women embrace pussyhat careerist shrike catladydom, their loyalty will evaporate, and America’s end is fated. If somehow they return to the fold, it buys their men time to rescue America from an Abattoir of Babel demise. I thought Trump would buy us that time, and he still may, but with each day and each new low the Media-Deep State-Democortez Axis of Annihilation plumb my doubt grows that Trump can prevail. He has done much; it may not be enough. From where I stand, I don’t see White shitlibs coming around to reason any time soon, maybe not even when the rivers of blood flow. I see flickers of hope, of delayed realization from a few, but they won’t make the difference. We need an awakening that shakes the foundations of our institutions, rends post-WW2 orthodoxy, and shatters the neoliberal belief in Globohomo. Pray for it, because what will emerge from a thwarted awakening is the stuff of nightmares.

Air Force Calls For 24% Increase In Squadrons To Prepare For War Against Major Power

by Tyler Durden Tue, 09/18/2018 - 23:05

Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson on Monday called for a significant increase in the service’s size, as it prepares for the possibility of war against a major nation such as China or Russia, in the next decade. Under the expansion plan outlined by Wilson, the Air Force needs to grow by 74 additional squadrons, a 25% increase, by 2030. She said the number was based on internal reports, using intelligence estimates of what the service would need as far as manpower to be victorious in the next conflict. "To face the world as it is, with a rapidly innovating adversary, the Air Force we need should have about 25 percent more operational squadrons in the 2025 to 2030 time frame than the Air Force we have," Wilson told attendees at an Air Force Association conference in National Harbor, Maryland. Wilson, the Air Force's top civilian official, said the increase is essential to the service's current mission of upholding the new national defense strategy, as well as combating the evolving threats from China and Russia. "The defense strategy tells us that we need to be able to defend the homeland, provide a credible nuclear deterrent and win against a major power while encountering a rogue nation, all while managing violent extremists with lower levels of effort," she said. Wilson said the service has approximately 312 operational squadrons but needs 386. "Three hundred and twelve operational squadrons is not enough. It takes all of us to get that combat power ready and able to fight. A fist is nothing without the weight of the body behind it." Wilson explained that the 74 additional squadrons, 14 would be dedicated to aerial refueling. Seven of them would be assigned to space squadrons, and five would be bomber squadrons. She said seven new operations squadrons, nine combat search and rescue squadrons, 22 command and control squadrons, seven more fighter squadrons, two drone squadrons, and one airlift squadron. She added that the Air Force does not anticipate more nuclear or cyber squadrons, and while she conceded that it would take years to build these new squadrons, she did not give an estimate of how much the program would cost. "We aren't naive about how long it will take us to build the support and budget required for the force we need. It is a choice," Wilson said. Todd Harrison, a defense budget analyst for the Center for Strategic and International Studies, pointed out that a 24 percent growth in Air Force squadrons would require an additional $13 billion per year. "The cost of pay and benefits for 40,000 airmen is about $5.2B per year (give or take)," he wrote in a Tweet on Friday. "Right now the Air Force spends about $53B per year on aircraft operations, training, and recruiting. Increasing the number of squadrons by ~24% would probably add another $13B per year in these operating costs." War is big business. Decades-long wars have enriched the shareholders of Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, Raytheon, and Northrop Grumman. As for the foreseeable future, America's military-industrial-complex will continue to expand. For those asking why, the chart below shows the answer:

Preparing For WW3 Level False Flag, Terrorists Film 9 Staged Chemical Attack Videos In Syria

- If President Trump Is Our Last President As Many On The Left Now Fear, It Will Be Because 'America' No Longer Exists

By William B Stoecker - All News Pipeline September 17, 2018

Just before the outbreak of WWI, someone expressed a fear that a major war might erupt over “some damned fool thing in the Balkans.” And the murder of the Austrian Archduke by a Serbian (Serbia is a Balkan nation) set off the Great War, which, in turn, led to all the other horrors of the twentieth century. Now there is a real danger that a world-ending nuclear holocaust could be set off by a foolish act in Syria…and if it is we will have Donald Trump to thank for it…for the buck does indeed stop at his desk. I am far from an anti-Trumper. I voted for him and worked briefly as a volunteer at his campaign headquarters. His economic policies, including lower taxes and some deregulation, have benefited our economy in the short run (in the long run we will suffer the consequences of the continued deficit spending which Trump has not even begun to control). He has spoken the truth to the American people regarding the elites and their deep state and the menace of uncontrolled immigration. But between his rhetoric and reality, between word and deed, there is a gap. From the beginning, having promised to drain the swamp, he has packed his regime with CFR members, Bonesmen, neocons, and Goldman-Sachs alumnicreatures from the deepest part of the swamp. He is always just about to build the wall, but he signed a spending bill that funds Planned “Parenthood” but not the wall. He could at least put the military on the border to supplement the Border Patrol (Mexico, by invading us, has already violated the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo). He has referred again and again to “crooked Hillary” but his “Justice” Department, led by the traitors Jeff Sessions and Rod Rosenstein, has failed to investigate her very real crimes or to cooperate with Congress, which has repeatedly requested documents and testimony, only to be stonewalled over and over. But Trump appointed Little Jeff and has refused to fire him; now he has even stated that he will not fire him before the mid-term elections, if then. He could at least declassify documents relating to the FISA case that has led to most of his present troubles, but, to date, he has not done so. The Demoncraps regard politics as war, and fight hard and dirty, while Trump, like any good Republican, does not fight at all. During his campaign he was rightly critical of our eternal undeclared wars in Afghanistan and elsewhere, but he has been in office nearly two years and Americans continue to die in Afghanistan. We still have troops in Iraq, where the Bushes thoughtfully installed a pro-Iranian regime. And Trump has sent our forces into Syria, where we are supporting Sunni terrorists against the Assad regime, which, by Middle East standards, is about as moderate and sane as they come. He has used poison gas attacks that were almost certainly false flag operations by our own “allies” as an excuse to bombard Syria with cruise missiles. During his campaign he hinted at improving relations with Putin’s Russia, but has continued sanctions against that nation, to punish them for daring to reclaim historical Russian soil (Crimea) and to have their own foreign policy in Syria, a nation that really is of no importance to America. He has even signed on to the policy, first outlined by Hussein Obama, of “regime change” in Syria, and has appointed Yale graduate (and Bonesman?) John Bolton, the mighty neocon with his superbly martial mustache, as his National Security Advisor. Bolton has never seen a war he didn’t like, save for Vietnam, which he avoided by joining the National Guard. Now Assad, aided by Iranian and Russian forces, is closing in on the last rebel stronghold, in the Idlib area, more or less controlled by the Nusra Front, Al Qaeda’s Syrian branch. Sizeable numbers of US troops are in that area, doing God only knows what for what purpose. And it looks as if another false flag gas attack may be in the works. If Russian forces kill US troops, or if the US once again uses a false flag gas attack as an excuse for an attack on Syrian forces and Russians are also killed in that attack, or the Russians target US forces to prevent our attack on Syria…paranoia can feed paranoia and retaliation can lead to escalation, and, before we know it, we are dying in agony in nuclear firestorms. All the anti-Russian rhetoric being spewed by the media and the other leftists in this country has only served to increase tensions. Trump will be our last President because America will no longer exist. Yet we are assured by the faithful that the Donald is a good guy Machiavellian with a secret plan to give the leftists just enough rope to hang themselves…and then he will strike. Mass arrests of the Witch Hillary, Eric Holder, Hussein himself, and countless others are about to begin, followed by trials by military tribunals. No one wants to face the fact that the perfumed princes of the Pentagon are as much a part of the Deep State as the FBI and other “intelligence community” operatives. Many of these rumors originated with QAnon’s 10/2017 post on image board 4 chan. Calling himself a “Q Clearance Patriot,” some individual or group has been spreading such rumors ever since. And maybe the rumors are true and QAnon is for real…I certainly hope so. But I’ll believe it when I see it, and, in the meantime, it is clear that a thermonuclear holocaust would finish off Western Civilization quite nicely, as only Putin’s Russia and Trump’s followers here offer any hope of salvation for Mankind. Western Europe is probably past the point of no return.

SHOWDOWN: Pelosi/Schumer/Schiff/Warner order intel agencies to ignore presidential order

Category: U.S. National News Wednesday, 19 September 2018 00:55

Democrats in Congress are so petrified of the truth coming out about their intentional misuse the Intelligence apparatus of the United States to LIE to federal Courts and obtain Spy Warrants against incoming President Donald Trump, using false information given to the courts, that they are now ORDERING the Department of Justice and FBI to IGNORE a Presidential Order! There's just one tiny problem: The DOJ and FBI work for the President, not Congress. Moreover, the Democrats do not hold majorities in either house of Congress, so they are in no position AT ALL to "order" anyone to do anything. Here are the details and an except from the letter they sent to the DOJ and FBI . . . On September 17, it became public knowledge that President Trump had ORDERED the Department of Justice and the FBI to declassify Text Messages and Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court applications connected to the totally bogus "Russia Collusion" investigation. Those Text messages and the application to the courts will PROVE that elements within the Department of Justice and the FBI intentionally LIED to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, used phony evidence that THEY FABRICATED as justification for obtaining Warrants to spy on incoming President Trump and his campaign, and CONCEALED their nefarious efforts from the American people. The White House announced the President's Order On September 17. The President's Order caused the Democrats to utterly PANIC. They realized that if the text messages and FISA court documents were made available to the American people, it would prove beyond any doubt that the Democrat Party misused government power to illegally spy on an incoming President, and to wreck his Presidency before he ever took office. Democrats don't want the American people to find out their whole "Russia Collusion" story was a made-up falsehood they they used to DUPE the American people for the last two years. So on Tuesday, September 18, the Democrats did something heretofore unimaginable: They wrote to the DOJ and FBI telling them to IGNORE a Presidential Order! Here's an excerpt of that letter:  etc ```````````The letter above refers to "The Gang of Eight." Here's what that means: The Gang of Eight is a colloquial term for a set of eight leaders within the United States Congress who are briefed on classified intelligence matters by the executive branch. Specifically, the Gang of Eight includes the leaders of each of the two parties from both the Senate and House of Representatives, and the chairs and ranking minority members of both the Senate Committee and House Committee for intelligence as set forth by 50 U.S.C. § 3093(c)(2). Under normal conditions, the President of the United States is required by Title 50 U.S.C. § 3091(a)(1) to "ensure that the congressional intelligence committees are kept fully and currently informed of the intelligence activities of the United States, including any significant anticipated intelligence activity as required by [the] title." However, under "extraordinary circumstances", when the President thinks "it is essential to limit access" to information about a covert action, 50 U.S.C. § 3093(c)(2) allows the President to limit reporting to the Gang of Eight. This situation is the exact reverse: The President is DECLASSIFYING things . . . he wants the American People to know the facts, know the truth. These members of Congress are turning the concept of the "Gang of Eight" on its head in an effort to STOP disclosure of the facts! If it occurs to you that what these members of Congress are doing is SEDITION, you are not alone. Many people see it for exactly that. The individuals who signed this letter are CORRUPT. They are intentionally overstepping their authority as members of the Legislative Branch of government, trying to usurp Presidential authority by directly interfering with two Executive Branch Departments that are BOTH under the sole control of the President! These individuals are desperate to CONCEAL from the American people that the Democrat Party, via its elected officials and supporters who were in government employment during the Obama regime: LIED to federal courts, Obtained search and wiretap warrants without probable cause, Fabricated phony "evidence" in furtherance of this Conspiracy and Engaged in unlawful spying on an incoming President of the United States. These Democrats are so utterly desperate to conceal the truth, they're willing to directly, intentionally and actively interfere with the American people's right to know what our government has done. THIS is what the Democrat Party has come to be. They are truly Domestic Enemies of America and Enemies of the truth. The patience of the American People with these Seditious Democrats should be wearing pretty thin right about now. Bottom line: The Legislative Branch cannot "Order" the Executive Branch to do anything without passing a law. Since Democrats are not a majority of either house of Congress, they have ZERO chance of doing that. The President has issued the Order to his departments and they must obey. If they fail or refuse he can walk over there start FIRING every person who refuses until he gets to someone who obeys. It's THAT simple. Here's a humorous 2 minute video about what's coming very soon: (Enjoy!)

INTERNATIONAL SAFETY

B. Putin: For the first time, a domestic criticism of his mild attitude to the Israeli raid

19/09/2018 - 13:57 | Last update: 20/09/2018 - 08:34

For the first time, the president of Russia, B. Putin, criticized his country for the way he faced the Israeli air raid yesterday in the "heart" of the Russian military presence in Syria, Lattakia-Tartu, which had a tragic result of the shooting by "friends" - Syrian-fire of the AFS IL-20 and the death of the 15 crew members. Several Russian media rejected his gentle approach and Israeli acquittal despite the fact that original sources of the Russian Ministry of the Interior had named Israel as responsible for the fall of IL-20. Today, the Kremlin has left Defense Minister Sosogu to "pull the snake" out of the hole and to stiffen Moscow's position towards Tel Aviv. The Russian YPAM said he warned his Israeli counterpart that "such acts will not be missed . " In fact, the video was released in public. But most importantly, this move is accompanied by actions. Russia suddenly sealed sea and air literally in the Mediterranean Sea. The Cyprus Republic issued yesterday afternoon fifteen Notam and seven Navtex, committing from now until next Wednesday many and large areas in the sea and air within the Nicosia Fir and the area of ​​responsibility for search and rescue of Cyprus. It is characteristic that Seven seven Notam and Seven Navtex bound sea areas and the air space above them at an altitude of up to 19,000 feet  The other eight Notam announce that they are closing for air traffic - up to 19,000 feet, a total of 52 points of reference for aircraft crossing at Fir Nicosia. For the seven maritime regions, it is typical to have a strong reference to alerts to seafarers that they are dangerous to navigate. It is obvious that with the large-scale military activity, it brings considerable difficulties and reorganizations mainly to the management of Nicosia's Fir, but also to the civil aviation of Israel and Lebanon. Sources say that Russia is trying to create a "no fly zone" around Israel in the Mediterranean. This is the only reason to justify the current move by Moscow to block with 14 ships and maritime areas up to 19,000 feet by 26 September. Now if an Israeli fighter wants to fly outside Israel and attack Syria he has to fly over 19,000 feet. It is also important that the cruise ship "Marshal Ustinov" (055) Slava class with 64 S-300F missiles moves southwest of Israel theoretically also covering its airspace. Israeli people are wondering if in the end Russia is trying to destroy at least one fighter ... However, the Israeli raid is a beam of light for the PA as an example of the S-400's "shield" drilling, with zero coverage of a geographic recess. Do not forget that in 2019 Turkey's S-400 will become operational.

Hill.TV INTERVIEW EXCLUSIVE: Trump eviscerates Sessions: ‘I don’t have an attorney general’

By John Solomon and Buck Sexton

President Trump in an Oval Office interview with Hill.TV launched one of his most ferocious broadsides to date against Jeff Sessions, suggesting the attorney general was essentially AWOL and performing badly on a variety of issues. “I don’t have an attorney general. It’s very sad,” Trump told Hill.TV in an extensive and freewheeling interview Tuesday from the Oval Office. The president has long excoriated Sessions for his March 2017 decision to recuse himself from the Russia collusion investigation. But on Tuesday he suggested he is frustrated by Sessions's performance on far more than that. “I’m not happy at the border, I’m not happy with numerous things, not just this,” he said. Trump suggested he had a personal blind spot when it came to nominating Sessions as the nation’s top law enforcement officer. “I’m so sad over Jeff Sessions because he came to me. He was the first senator that endorsed me. And he wanted to be attorney general, and I didn’t see it,” he said. “And then he went through the nominating process and he did very poorly. I mean, he was mixed up and confused, and people that worked with him for, you know, a long time in the Senate were not nice to him, but he was giving very confusing answers. Answers that should have been easily answered. And that was a rough time for him.Sessions recused himself under pressure from congressional Democrats and after some Republicans said he should not take part in overseeing the Russian investigation at Justice. During his confirmation hearings, he failed to mention two meetings with Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak. In announcing his recusal, Sessions said that he had consulted with Justice Department officials over the decision and that he had not meant to mislead members of the Senate over the meetings. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein became the lead Justice official on the Russia investigation because of the Sessions recusal. Rosenstein also appointed special counsel Robert Mueller after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey in May 2017. The president suggested Sessions's experience going through the nominating process in the Senate may have impacted his performance as attorney general. “He gets in and probably because of the experience that he had going through the nominating when somebody asked him the first question about Hillary Clinton or something he said ‘I recuse myself, I recuse myself,’" Trump said. “And now it turned out he didn’t have to recuse himself. Actually, the FBI reported shortly thereafter any reason for him to recuse himself. And it’s very sad what happened.” The FBI in an early 2017 email to a Sessions aide, made public last December, concluded that Sessions did not need to reveal contacts with foreign government officials that were made in the course of his work as a senator. “I recused myself not because of any asserted wrongdoing on my part during the campaign,” Sessions told the Senate Intelligence Committee last April. “But because a Department of Justice regulation, 28 CFR 45.2, required it.” Trump’s broader criticisms of Sessions may be a surprise to some lawmakers and other observers given the attorney general’s efforts to impose tougher policies on immigration. Sessions has been credited in conservative quarters for his handling of policy issues even as he has been lambasted by some on the right over the Russian probe. At the same time, speculation that Trump could decide to fire Sessions has been growing. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who speaks frequently with Trump, in August said the president deserved to have an attorney general he had faith in. “The president's entitled to having an attorney general he has faith in, somebody that is qualified for the job, and I think there will come a time sooner rather than later where it will be time to have a new face and a fresh voice at the Department of Justice. Clearly, Attorney General Sessions doesn't have the confidence of the president,” Graham said. Trump demurred on whether he might one day fire the attorney general. “We’ll see what happens. A lot of people have asked me to do that. And I guess I study history, and I say I just want to leave things alone, but it was very unfair what he did,” he said, referring to the recusal decision. “And my worst enemies, I mean, people that, you know, are on the other side of me in a lot of ways, including politically, have said that was a very unfair thing he did.” He concluded: "We’ll see how it goes with Jeff. I’m very disappointed in Jeff. Very disappointed."

FBI Official: FBI Agents Threatened Physical Harm to President Trump In Missing FBI Texts & Other “Frightening” Communications

Posted on January 23, 2018 by Investigative Bureau

“This is much larger than just texts between two FBI agents.” A high-ranking FBI official confirms a number of the missing 50,000 FBI text messages — as well as other text and email messages among FBI brass — reportedly discussed initiating physical harm to President Donald Trump. The FBI official urged the U.S. Department of Homeland Security — which oversees the U.S. Secret Service — to launch an investigation of the Justice Department, the FBI and all text messages missing and otherwise that threatened the President. “This is dangerous territory and all FBI text messages and personal phones should be examined,” the official said. “It would reveal some frightening conversations.” Did FBI brass discuss the assassination of President Donald Trump? If not, what was the nature of the threats against the president from inside the alleged premiere law enforcement agency in the United States? “(Director) Wray wants a lid on this,” the FBI official said. “Many know there was talk of harming Trump politically but there is a group here (in D.C. HQ) that understands it goes deeper. We need a special counsel or Homeland Security. Somebody has to clean this up outside of DOJ. It is unacceptable. “This is much larger than just texts between two FBI agents.” The FBI official called on President Trump to do what is necessary to weed out corruption in the FBI. “Text messages just don’t disappear,” the FBI official said. “Not here. Someone outside DOJ has to look at all emails and texts. These (FBI bosses) are bad people. You’ve only scratched the surface.” The high-ranking FBI official called on lawmakers and the Inspector General to focus on the text and email messages of FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. The official referred to McCabe’s official and personal correspondences “an anti-Trump treasure trove.” As reported in March 2017 by True Pundit, McCabe openly threatened President Trump and then-National Security Adviser Gen. Mike Flynn, saying first we “Fuck Flynn and then we Fuck Trump” to several high-ranking FBI bosses who cheered his comment. From that True Pundit Exclusive: McCabe, the second highest ranking FBI official, emphatically declared at the invite-only gathering with raised voice: “Fuck Flynn and then we Fuck Trump,” according to direct sources. Many of his top lieutenants applauded and cheered such rhetoric. A scattered few did not. This was one of several such meetings held in seclusion among key FBI leaders since Trump was elected president, FBI sources confirm. At the congregation where McCabe went off the political rails and vowed to destroy Flynn and Trump, there were as many as 16 top FBI officials, inside intelligence sources said. No lower-level agents or support personnel were present. If you are among the millions of Americans who have pondered in recent months whether the Obama-era “Deep State” intelligence apparatus and FBI are working for or against Trump, this is the first definitive proof that the country’s once-premiere law enforcement agency has gone rogue. The non-elected hierarchy that steer the FBI have declared war on President Trump and his White House inner circle. Make no mistake. Flynn has since been indicted and plead guilty to a charge of lying to the FBI from an investigation supervised by McCabe after a FBI interview conducted by Peter Strzok, one of the agents busted sending anti-Trump texts. And Trump remains under investigation by U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller, a figure linked to several conflicts of interest in the case including prior deals with McCabe. As reported yesterday in True Pundit, members of the FBI and Justice Department’s top brass at their Washington D.C.headquarters and other field offices are now using burner phones to stay under the radar of federal investigators and lawmakers, according to FBI insiders. The shocking revelations come on the heels of news that the FBI deleted thousands of text messages between anti-Trump FBI agents before investigators could review their content. While that is disturbing on one level, FBI and DOJ hierarchy employing the telecom habits of drug cartel bosses reaches a new low for the once-heralded federal law enforcement agency and the DOJ. And breaks federal laws as well. The FBI “failed to preserve” five months worth of text messages exchanged between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, the two FBI employees who made pro-Clinton and anti-Trump comments while working on the Clinton email and the Russia collusion investigations. And now more text messages are missing from more FBI agents, according to the Justice Department. That means 50,000 text messages. Fifty. Thousand. Per The Hill yesterday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Monday announced the Justice Department will investigate missing text messages sent between two FBI agents critical of President Trump, joining the chorus of Republican lawmakers who are eager to recover the exchange. GOP officials have seized on the messages as evidence of FBI bias against Trump in the probes into Russian election meddling and Hillary Clinton‘s use of a private email server as secretary of State. “We will leave no stone unturned to confirm with certainty why these text messages are not now available to be produced and will use every technology available to determine whether the missing messages are recoverable from another source,” Sessions said in a statement.

Practicing for Impeachment of Assassination? Where You Are At, Is Where You Will Stay When Martial Law Is Declared-Bob Griswold-The CSS

By Dave Hodges

There is a trend that I am seeing emerge with regard to secondary, but mainstream media. Controversial concepts are portrayed in shows and then the show is pulled even when it out-draws the competition. This trend has continued to articles and videos on my website which deals with the topic of martial law and the implementation of martial law. Predictive Programming I was speaking with David Knight, Steve Quayle and Gary Haevin last weekend at the Legends Conference. I was talking about the mysterious pulling of the show Colony, on USA Network. The show was popular and had an almost cult following. Yet it was canceled. Normally, a show that has a very dedicated base, but relatively low rankings is moved to a less popular time slot to compete against lesser shows. Subsequently, I was shocked when the show was canceled. If you are not familiar with the show, the plot is based upon high tech martial which is brutal and very deadly. It makes the German SS and Gestapo look like Sesame Street characters by comparison. Like so many shows on USA Network, well-conceived shows come and go. It is almost as if they want to deliver a message for desensitization purposes and then take it down when the mission is complete. Two other shows on USA Network suffered the same fate recently. They were Mark Wahlberg’s Shooter which was about the violent part of the Deep State who carries out their mini regime changes with deadly precision. The other show that bit the proverbial dust despite great ratings was a show called The Americans. This show was about the Russian infiltration of American society in Reagan years. The entire spy apparatus as well as the Russian plans were revealed in the show. The show was fascinating and both canceled shows, hinted at martial law at various points in their respective shows. USA Network should change their name to The Desensitization Network! Topics Related to Martial Law Are Being Censored Even on The Common Sense Show When martial law takes effect, it will come like a thief in the night and where you are at is where you will stay when martial law is rolled out. One better learn how to survive in whatever environment that they are trapped. Recently, I interviewed survivalist expert, Bob Griswold, as he shared his secrets of survival in a variety of environments. It is Bob’s contention that when martial law comes, there will be no, to little, warning of what is coming. The plans to cut off and cordon off segments of cities and rural from suburban will be rolled out in the blink of an eye. The interview I conducted with Bob was one of the most informative interviews I have ever done on The Common Sense Show. The interview is listed at the end of this article. There is an emerging pattern with my audience that is undeniable. I published my interview with Robert Griswold less than 15 hours ago. And I already have received 18 notices that look like the following emails: 403 Forbidden A potentially unsafe operation has been detected in your request to this site. Dave, when coming to your site to look at your interview with Robert Griswold and some related martial law facts, I was met with this notice and could not get around it in order to view your interview. I caught part of it on Sunday night and wanted to listen to the rest. But you are being blocked. The question is are you being blocked because of who you are or because they don’t want you talking about martial law? I bet it is the latter. A loyal listener, Marcus Moore Dave, FYI….this is what I get trying to link to your article. Must be pretty powerful! lol!

http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/where-you-are-at-is-where-you-will-stay-when-martial-law-is-declared-bob-griswold-the-css/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=

where-you-are-at-is-where-you-will-stay-when-martial-law-is-declared-bob-griswold-the-css 

I believe the following email, of which I have received 3 others like this in the past week, talks about variables that I think are connected to a possible round up of US citizens, while the country is in a state of martial law, by using our personal information against us. Before reading the communication, I want to remind people that a few year ago, on my radio show, Steve Quayle stated that social media outlets, like Facebook, now called Faces of Death Book, could and would provide personal information which could put people in danger with an occupation force. Keep this in mind as you read the next email. Hi Dave: xxxx xxxx here in Canyon Lake. It’s not just in China – It’s here NOW. What happened to me this morning. Went to www.stevequayle.com  this morning. Clicked on: Interesting: Former Navy Seal tells what he saw while diving in Arctic. This took me to YouTube. I’m always interested in reading some of the comments on articles, so while the “Ad” was playing I scrolled down to comments. There it was in the first comment place was a statement: Commenting publicly as xxxx@gmail.com and my personal cell phone number. I was quite taken aback. They are using it here!!!!!!!! Also, check out Breitbart’s article today: Report: Google will link searches to personal phone numbers in China by Breitbart writer Allum Bokhari. Thanks for all you do! WOW it’s HERE NOW. This is how enemies of the state lists are created for marital law purposes. In another, much more telling email, I received the following. Dear Dave, I live in North Carolina and luckily we only got a some water and wind damage, but we are ok. I must tell you that I am scared to death to report and please do not release anything that will cause the authorities to know who I am. Please I beg you but you need to know and tell the people. North Caroline is being sectioned off. It is not just Wilmington that is isolated by natural factors. There are several communities in which travel is not allowed. I swear Dave we under martial law and FEMA is everywhere. They are practicing for martial law. Do you know about this? Thanks for everything to you do for us. Conclusion There is an emerging pattern that I am seeing here. References to martial law and the practicing of martial are both in play. Please keep in mind that these published communications represent a far larger body of information. Who’s behind this? Should we be concerned. I say yes. President Trump is not behind this. Obviously, FEMA is up to no good and the Deep State is alive and well in the agency. I have noticed that many of the Deep State plans are proceeding unabated, Trump’s administration notwithstanding. I know it is early to draw these conclusions, but the trend curve seems clear. When Trump is no longer the President, the country is going directly into martial law and we are being prepared for this eventuality. I would expect that we are witnessing the rehearsal for either assassination or impeachment.

How Satanists EXPOSED IN TOM HORN’S “SABOTEURS” Are Working To Stop Trump And His Evangelical Supporters

September 18, 2018 by SkyWatch Editor

President Donald Trump is only a year and a half into his presidency and he remains one of the most controversial political figures of the day. Despite this, evangelical Christians have expressed their faithful support for him and his conservative policies. One group dedicated to challenging evangelicals and their positive relationship with the administration is The Satanic Temple (TST). “The Satanic Temple attracted ‘thousands’ of new members in just the first 36 hours after the election of Donald Trump,” the group reported. “The 4-year-old temple, which had a pre-Trump membership of around 50,000, has never before seen a spike in registration nearly this big.” (READ MORE)

'They Are Taking Over': How Satanists Are Working to Stop Trump and His Evangelical Supporters

09-12-2018 Emily Jones

President Donald Trump is only a year and a half into his presidency and he remains one of the most controversial political figures of the day. Despite this, evangelical Christians have expressed their faithful support for him and his conservative policies. But on the other side, The Satanic Temple (TST) has been very public about its efforts to challenge evangelicals and their positive relationship with the administration. Founded in 2012, The Satanic Temple (not to be confused with the Church of Satan) is a non-theistic organization that has gained prominence since President Trump's election. The group reported it gained "thousands of new members" after Trump won the presidential race. "The Satanic Temple attracted 'thousands' of new members in just the first 36 hours after the election of Donald Trump," the group reported. "The 4-year-old temple, which had a pre-Trump membership of around 50,000, has never before seen a spike in registration nearly this big." "We're definitely a resistance movement," spokesperson and co-founder Lucien Greaves said after a speech outside the University of Colorado Boulder. "We stand in stark opposition to this idea that we must unify under a single religious banner." "We're on the front lines of some of these battles against theocratic encroachment, especially with characters like Mike Pence holding such a high office," he added. Since the election, The Satanic Temple has launched multiple campaigns aimed at challenging Christian influence in the political sphere. One example is their After School Satan Clubs. "The very reason we started the After School Satan Clubs was to offer an alternative to coercive religious proselytizing inflicted on children through evangelical after-school clubs, and we only offer our club in schools where the evangelical presence already exists," Greaves said in an interview. "The schools have to understand, if they allow evangelical clubs, they can't turn away the Satanists." Other efforts include advocating for abortion rights and the erection of Satanic monuments. Last month, The Satanic Temple, protested Arkansas' approval of a Ten Commandments monument on Capitol grounds. The group said the Christian statute was a violation of the "First Amendment and religious plurality." They filed a lawsuit and erected their own 8-foot statue of the occult deity Baphomet on the same grounds. It is all in an effort to rally against "Evangelical Nationalism" and the "Theocratic Right," Greaves says. "They are taking over the public offices and overturning Liberal Democracy," he said in an interview. Ultimately, the group is about glorifying rebellion. They claim they don't even worship Satan or believe he is a personal being. Instead, they focus on rebelling against "tyrannical" authority, secularism, and theism. "We do not promote a belief in a personal Satan," TST says on its website. "Satan is symbolic of the Eternal Rebel in opposition to arbitrary authority, forever defending personal sovereignty even in the face of insurmountable odds. Satan is an icon for the unbowed will of the unsilenced inquirer… the heretic who questions sacred laws and rejects all tyrannical impositions." However, many Satanist groups do worship Satan as their lord. Some of them are sitting in the pews of American churches, according to former Satanist Bill Schnoebelen. He says that some hardcore Satanists try to infiltrate churches and other Christian organizations to sabotage them. Whether they are a political group or not, former Satanist John Ramirez told CBN News that Satanic power is very real, and Christians should not underestimate the power of prayer to fight against dark spiritual forces. "It is those believers, it's that group of people, those intercessors that gave me such a beatdown in the spiritual," he said. In his book, Armed and Dangerous: The Ultimate Battle Plan for Targeting and Defeating the Enemy, Ramirez details why Christians need to pray more effectively. "I wrote this book because I wanted Christians to know that it's not only a defense spiritual warfare, but there's an offense spiritual warfare," he said. "We need to keep the devil, the devil in his place."

Florence kills 5,500 pigs and 3.4 million chickens. The numbers are expected to rise.

By John Murawski  jmurawski@newsobserver.com  September 18, 2018 03:22 PM Updated September 19, 2018 06:39 PM  

The number of hogs and poultry killed in Hurricane Florence flooding is already double the casualties from Matthew in 2016, and the losses are expected to mount this week as new information comes in from farmers as they gain access to their properties. Meanwhile, the number of hog waste lagoons in North Carolina that are damaged or overflowing continues to increase. The N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services said Tuesday that so far 3.4 million chickens and turkeys have been killed by Florence, and 5,500 hogs have perished since the storm deluged the state. In preparation for the advancing storm, farmers were moving their swine to higher land, but the intensity of the flooding exceeded all expectations. The N.C. Pork Council said some of the hogs drowned in flood waters, and others were killed by wind damage to barns.

Report: Daily Caller Confirms Kavanaugh Protesters Given Soros Cash for Arrests; Planning ‘Ugly, Ugly’ Protests to ‘Shut Down’ Monday Hearing

Over 200 protesters were arrested during the four days of hearings. The groups plan to “get very ugly, ugly” and “shut down” a scheduled hearing on Monday that Kavanaugh and Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who has accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her at a drunken high school party decades ago.

The payments were first reported by Adam Schindler.  The groups plan to “get very ugly, ugly” and “shut down” a scheduled hearing on Monday that Kavanaugh and Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who has accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her at a drunken high school party decades ago. Ford has not confirmed whether she will attend the hearing. Excerpt from the Daily Caller exclusive reported by Peter Hasson and Joe Simonson: Left-wing groups funded by George Soros and other major Democratic donors hand out cash to protesters arrested for disrupting Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings, the activists revealed Monday night. A coalition of activist organizations including Women’s March, the Center for Popular Democracy (CPD) and Housing Works have scheduled the near-constant disruptions at the Kavanaugh hearings as part of an organized effort to derail the confirmation process in a series of meetings since he was first nominated. The cash from the donor-funded groups goes toward the protesters’ post-and-forfeit payments — a small cash sum paid to resolve low-level misdemeanor crimes and avoid jail time. …Because Kavanaugh no longer has a hearing on Thursday, the protesters are instead going to target a confirmation hearing for lower court nominees, who Davis described as “other gross judges” who are even more radical. The activists plan to “shut down” Kavanaugh’s confirmation proceedings on Monday, Davis said. “Just because they’ve delayed something doesn’t mean we’re done. It’s actually going to get very very ugly.” Disrupting the hearings were constantly described throughout the call as acts of “civil disobedience” by organizers. The three organizers, who took turns speaking throughout the call, explained that protesters should expect to pay up to $50 per arrest at Thursday and Monday’s hearings. The activists said they will have cash ready for would-be disrupters on Thursday and Monday, as they did when disrupting the previous hearings.”… End excerpt. Please read the entire Daily Caller report at this link. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA) told Hugh Hewitt in an interview Tuesday morning he planned to allow the protesters to disrupt the hearing on Monday, but that Capitol Police would be making arrests as they did before. HH: Yes, you do. And in fact, even when the protesters jump…do you expect more protesters if Judge Kavanaugh shows up on Monday if he is testifying? Do you expect we’ll have a repeat of last week? CG: Yes, and that’s their Constitutional right to do it. They don’t have, they have a Constitutional right to speak. They don’t have a Constitutional right to interfere with the committee, so that’s why the police take them out. So I think that I, as far as the demonstrators are concerned, I’m going to be laser-focused on an even-handed and a fair hearing. And so I’ll keep the hearing going while the police take them out. I tell the police, you do your job, I’m not going to do like a lot of chairmen do, shut down the whole committee meeting until the room is empty. I want to use the time as efficiently as I can.”

Russia Threatens “Adequate Response” Against Israel For Downed Plane

“As a result of the Israeli military’s irresponsible actions 15 Russian servicemen died,” said Defense Ministry Spokesman Gen. Igor Konashenkov.

Zero Hedge - September 18, 2018

Update 4: The Russian Ministry of Defense cleared up the confusion surrounding the overnight downing of a Russian Ilyushin-20 reconnaissance plane on Tuesday when a spokesman revealed that Israel was indeed responsible for the attack, which resulted in the deaths of 15 Russian servicemen. According to the Wall Street Journal, the plane was accidentally brought down by an aging Syrian S-200 defense system after Russia had scrambled its jets to respond to an attack by four Israeli F-16s on Syrian government targets. Israeli notified Russia of its attack over a shared hotline less than a minute before beginning the strike, giving the Kremlin little time to respond.As a result of the Israeli military’s irresponsible actions 15 Russian servicemen died,” said Defense Ministry Spokesman Gen. Igor Konashenkov. Israel has carried out roughly 200 strikes in Syria over the past year and a half as it pushes back against Tehran’s growing presence in the war-torn battle zone. Moscow has the right to “respond adequately” to the attack, Konashenkov said. Update 3: In a breaking report CNN has cited Pentagon officials who say the missing Russian aircraft with 14 service members on board, now subject of a Russian search-and-rescue operation, was accidentally shot down by Syrian missile defense. Pentagon sources say further that Israel was responsible for the nighttime attack, which reportedly involved strikes by air and possibly by sea from the Mediterranean. Israel has yet to issue comment. But Russia says its radar picked up a French warship firing in the area just before the Russian patrol aircraft went down. According to CNN: A Russian maritime patrol aircraft with multiple personnel on board was inadvertently shot down by Syrian regime anti-aircraft artillery on Monday after the Syrians came under attack by Israeli missiles, according to a US official with knowledge of the incident The US official said the regime was actually trying to stop a barrage of Israeli missiles. A second official confirmed that Israel was responsible for the missile strikes on the Syrian regime. The Pentagon sources cite a radio broadcast in making the claim of an accidental shootdown, however it’s not clear if their assessment is based on actual US intelligence or speculation. The CNN report continues: The US found out about the incident because Syrian forces broadcast an emergency search and rescue radio call on an international frequency. The US then got a direct message from another country about the type of aircraft and circumstances of the incident. The official would not identify that country, but it is likely that Russia is the only nation that would know exactly what type of aircraft was shot down. The Pentagon formally denied any US role in the attack soon after it was first reported. This is sure to evoke a new round of dangerous and fierce US-Russia controversy over Syria as already there are accusations and counter-accusations amidst the breaking reports. update 2: The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) reports in the aftermath of Monday night’s wide-scale attack on multiple locations in Syria that a Russian military Il-20 aircraft with 14 service members on board is not detectable via radar, and that a rescue mission is underway. And alarmingly RT claims the following citing the Russian Defense Ministry: Russian radars also registered the launch of missiles from a French frigate in the Mediterranean on the evening of September 17. The MoD also said it observed a French frigate in the area at the time. Reports TASS via a Russian defense official: “On September 17, at about 11:00 Moscow time, the connection with the crew of the Russian Il-20 aircraft was lost over the Mediterranean Sea when the plane was returning to the airbase of Khmeimim, 35 kilometers from the coast of Syria,” the official said. The ministry specified that “the mark of IL-20 went off the radars disappeared during the attack of four Israeli F-16 aircraft on Syrian targets in the province of Latakia.” “At the same time, the Russian radars fixed missile launches from the French frigate Auvergne, which was in that area,” the Defense Ministry said. The official also said that there were 14 servicemen on board and their fate is unknown. The command of Russia’s air base at Khmeimim launched a search and rescue operation. update: The Pentagon has formally denied that tonight’s massive sustained attack on Syria had US involvement. US-funded VOA News reports a Pentagon spokesman issuing the following statement: “I can unequivocally say this is not us,” said Navy Cmdr. Sean Robertson. Regional sources report, citing Syrian officials, that Monday night’s attack involved “cruise missiles fired from the sea”. Earlier: Another attack on Syria has occurred tonight on multiple locations in what is the largest sustained series of what are believed to be Israeli or possibly US air strikes in months. But hugely significant is that early reports suggest Russia’s S-400 anti-missile missile defense system engaged the inbound rockets. On Monday night Syrian state-run SANA confirmed multiple missiles fired “from the sea into Lattakia city” in “an aggression from unknown source” which state media says involved successful intercepts by Syrian missile defense. British-Syrian journalist Danny Makki, currently reporting from the ground, says the attack “lasted for a total of 1 hour 30 minutes” and missiles soared over four cities including Latakia, Tartus, Homs and Hama — with rockets and explosions lighting up the sky especially over the coastal towns. Though it appears another Israeli strike – as it came less than two days following an attack near Damascus – the details are still unknown, and some observers are speculating it could be an American attack, given that at least some of the missiles were fired from the sea. SANA reports “an aggression on Lattakia has targeted the Technical Industries’ establishment” adding that “the air defenses intercepted and downed a number of the missiles”. Multiple journalists in the region further said that Syrian air defenses were activated across four provinces including Latakia and Tartus on the coast, as well as over Homs and Hama which are more inland. The initial major strike on Latakia, located on the Syrian coast, reportedly targeted a Syrian Scientific Research Center (SSRC) facility, and newly published video and images from Syrian sources show massive fireballs lighting up the sky. But significantly the location of the strike is in the vicinity of Russia’s Hmeymim airbase, and there are early unconfirmed reports that Russia engaged the inbound assault via its advanced S-400 system. According to the Middle East Institute’s Charles Lister, “Reports suggest Russia air defenses in Hmeymim participated in attempting to repel tonight’s strikes in Latakia.” Lister continued, “*IF* that’s true, that’d be a significant development. Some reports also say strikes came from sea; leading to accusations of a U.S naval cruise missile attack.” Unconfirmed local eyewitness accounts say that two hostile aircraft were shot down during the lengthy assault. A number of videos are circulating on Syrian social media which purport to show successful Syria or Russian missile defense intercepts during the sustained attacks. As yet, there’s been no confirmation of who carried out the attack; however, a report early this month cited Tel Aviv sources who confirmed that Israel’s Air Force has conducted 200 attacks on locations inside Syria over the course of the past 2 years alone, according to Reuters. The major escalation comes just after Russia’s Vladimir Putin and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan met Monday to announce that a demilitarized zone in Idlib will be formed by October 15.

Backlash after Sarah Sanders slammed for Christian faith

'It's no wonder nobody trusts the media anymore. It's all garbage'

Published: 2 days ago

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has been targeted by establishment media outlets not only because of the messaging she provides on behalf of President Trump. It’s also because of her strong Christian faith. WND columnist Mychal Massie wrote recently, “God-fearing righteous women are not threatened by the likes of those who mocked Sarah Huckabee Sanders and those who thought it was OK to do so. “Truly independent women who strive to honor God understand that they are above such taunts. Those who attack them do so because they know if they lived to be 500 years old, they would never ‘attain the excellency’ they envy in Sarah Huckabee Sanders.” Now the New Yorker has published a piece putting in its own spotlight on Sanders and her faith. The magazine promoted the article in a tweet. “Sarah Huckabee Sanders attends a D.C. church that is an affiliate of Hillsong, the global megachurch that teaches creationism and intelligent design. Sanders, asked if she shared these views, said, ‘I believe in the Bible.'The profile referred to Sanders as Trump’s “battering ram” and went into depth about her evangelical beliefs and the pastoral role of her father, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. Twitter member James Brady reacted to the New Yorker’s tweet: “Come on, why do you have to go here? Everyone looked the other way at BHO’s church and pastor for years, but now it’s cool? It’s no wonder nobody trusts the media anymore. It’s all garbage.” Attacking Sanders may not be the wisest financial move, one town discovered. WND reported that the manager of The Red Hen Restaurant in Lexington, Virginia, harassed Sanders into leaving the establishment in June, Rockbridge Regional Tourism Board members had to approve a measure to bolster the marketing of the area. They blamed the national fury against the area on the Red Hen’s actions. The Roanoke Times said: “Director of Marketing Patty Williams said the area is still feeling effects from the controversy – the tourism office received a letter Thursday from a family in Georgia who said they would never come back to the area because of what happened. And during the immediate aftermath of the incident, the tourism office received thousands of phone calls and emails.” Not only did Red Hen owner Stephanie Wilkinson order Sanders and her family out of the restaurant, she then followed family members to a restaurant across the street, where she organized a protest. Others reacted to the New Yorker tweet and article: WhichWitch: “She attends a church that teachers from a holy book? The BIBLE even?? Why .. this is outrageous! Trump is going to be president forever.”

Jim Treacher: “Oh no. Not the Bible.”

Ricardo: “I don’t hold these same beliefs, but this is hardly news.”

Michael Garner: “Shame on you, New Yorker.”

Robert: “Wow, hard hitting journalism there.”

Magic Man: “Pretty terrible that @PressSec goes to church, believed the Bible, and seeks to honor God. Terrible values for a government representative. Eh, @NewYorker?”

Keeven: “Why does the @NewYorker dehumanize GOP women like this?”

Massie, earlier this year, wrote: “In the final analysis, those attacking Sarah realize that for all of their bravado, they are ambsace, and even that is a more generous recognition than they deserve.

“Sarah Huckabee Sanders is a standup Christian woman, and standup Christian people are persecuted, but God protects his own.”

Former Vice-President Joe Biden: Trump Supporters Are The ‘Dregs Of Society’

Mac Slavo September 17th, 2018 SHTFplan.com Comments (67) Read by 3,947 people

Former vice president Joe Biden is going on an insult tour, calling supporters of President Donald Trump the “dregs of society.” In a not-so-classy move, Biden used a pro-LGBT Human Rights Campaign annual dinner on Saturday to rip supporters of Trump and the president. According to the Daily Wire, Biden’s little moment was reminiscent of Hillary Clinton’s when she called Trump supporters a “basket of deplorables.” “To just be grossly generalistic, you can put half of Trump supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables,” Clinton said in September 2016. “Right? Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, you name it.” “Despite losing in the courts, and in the court of opinion, these forces of intolerance remain determined to undermine and roll back the progress you all have made,” Biden said. “This time they — not you — have an ally in the White House. This time they have an ally. They’re a small percentage of the American people — virulent people, some of them the dregs of society.” “And instead of using the full might of the executive branch to secure justice, dignity, safety for all, the president uses the White House as the literal — literal — bully pulpit, callously — callously — exerting his power over those who have little or none,” Biden continued. “Barack and I agreed to remain silent for a while to give this administration the chance to get up and running in the first year,” Biden said. “God forgive me,” he added, making the sign of the cross as the audience vehemently applauded. “Those who try to excuse this kind of prejudice in the name of culture, I say, ‘Prejudice is prejudice and humanity is humanity — it is a crime,'” Biden said, urging those in the room to continue to oppose Trump. “Our work is not yet done by any stretch of the imagination. The stakes are much too high.” Biden and his wife Jill both acted as if the apocalypse was coming thanks to Trump’s supporters. “This is deadly earnest, we are in a fight for America’s soul,” Biden said. Jill accused Trump of being a bully. “There is nothing that makes either of us more angry than a bully. There’s nothing that’s more unfair or unjust than people using their power to try to make other people feel small, to tell them who they are or what they are capable of, to say their identity doesn’t belong,” she said. Of course, let’s not forget that this is creepy uncle Joe speaking here, so take anything this eerie guy says with a grain of salt:

Florence is the worst flood in East Coast history. Here’s how locals describe it.

By Eric Holthaus on Sep 18, 2018

Many of the dire predictions came true. In the past few days, Hurricane Florence has become the worst rainstorm in history for North Carolina, as well as the entire East Coast. The images streaming in from the thousands of square miles of flooded cities and farmlands across the Carolinas are heartbreaking. From the washed-out beach homes of the Outer Banks to the raging mountain streams in the foothills of the Appalachians, nearly the entire region is underwater. All that rain means dozens of lives have been lost, and hundreds of thousands have been displaced. Florence’s rainfall data is astonishing. The four-day accumulation of nearly 36 inches, which was measured in Elizabethtown, North Carolina, is far, far above the previous rain record for a hurricane anywhere on the East Coast. It broke the North Carolina record by nearly a foot. That much rain is more than what scientists estimate a 1,000-year level, 60-day rainstorm would drop in the region, given a stable climate: slightly more than 35 inches. Put another way, there’s a 0.1 percent chance every year that in a 60-day period the rainfall in Elizabethtown would be at least 35 inches. North Carolina took on all of that water in just four days. And as ocean waters warm and the atmosphere changes, it’s becoming increasingly clear that this storm is not just a fluke; there are more Florences in our future. The region the storm hit hardest is one of the poorest parts of the state, where virtually no one has flood insurance. As bad as it is, the waters in rivers and streams statewide are still rising. Grist corresponded with 10 Carolinians who grappled with Florence. Here are their stories, edited and condensed for clarity: Erica Sharpe, Davidson County, North Carolina There are two types of people here: The ones who panic and empty the grocery shelves, and the ones who don’t trust “the news”, and don’t prepare at all. It could have been a lot worse here, but that kind of split between people has been interesting to watch. Even the weather is dividing people now. Daniel Hallock, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (evacuated to Georgia) There were people who would not take the warnings seriously enough. Knowing you gotta leave people behind is an odd feeling. “Frankie,” Greenville, North Carolina We’re not allowed to talk to media. It’s against company policy. Many wanted to evacuate, but we deliver fuel. Management pushes gasoline drivers to fill gas stations. Roads are being washed over, sink holes created, towns flooded, but corporate wants the stations pumping. Ralph Smith, Holly Ridge, North Carolina I stayed. Where I was, near the landfall, was heavy rain and flooding. The highways were loaded with people trying to evacuate. Plus the gas stations were all full; the one in front of my house closed down early. The day before the storm, there was so much, I thought, “I might as well stay.” So, you just stay and hope for best. The flooding didn’t make it to my house directly, but the streets were extremely wet. It’s still raining so I’m conflicted on when I’ll be able to drive again. Power has been out for about two or three days. A lot of people around here are worried about their safety while trying to make it out to work in the days after the storm. I know some people that are hesitant about going back to work. I’m just hoping midway through the week it clears up. They aren’t firing anyone for not showing up this week, I know for sure. Luke Adair, Jacksonville, North Carolina The thing that stands out the most to me is just how fast the water level in the river rose. We went to bed (around midnight) and there was hardly any water in the culvert [a water conduit under a road]. When we woke up the next morning, water was halfway up the foundation. Tons of homes in our neighborhood were flooded, and they flooded so quickly that the Coast Guard had to come in and rescue two families. Evacuating was absolutely the right decision for my family. I wish more people would have evacuated as well. But I can tell you, I was glued to the TV and my phone for three days during Hurricane Florence. Not being able to check on your house is one thing, but not knowing [about] your loved ones that decided to stay was another thing. It’s just so sad to see all of these people’s homes being damaged, people losing their lives, but the support that all of eastern North Carolina has shown has been amazing. People that I don’t know have offered help and even offered up their home for us to stay. Cameron-Scott Smith, Wilmington, North Carolina I never envisioned that a storm could hit Wilmington this hard. You see it on TV, but you don’t really expect it to happen to you. The night the storm came, out power went out at around 1, while I was watching TV, and I decided to go to bed. I slept very well (which I usually don’t). In the morning I looked out the window, but it was all fogged up. I go downstairs and hear the dog whining, so I got her leash and start walking to the door that leads to garage. I pressed the button to open the garage but I forgot the power was out so I exited through the door that leads into the garage. The first thing I saw were three large fir trees toppled on each other like fallen dominos. Then I walked to the front yard and saw four trees that sat snapped in half. I looked out in the cul-de-sac which was blocked off by fallen trees. Everything was closed off by fallen trees. We haven’t had power for three days, and my mom was called into work today. She has to stay there overnight for a week Our house is so hot. My grandmother came to stay with us because her running water went out. Today we had a crew of guys who came to cut down the fallen trees. Their bulldozer ended up damaging our water line, so our water went out. So we’re left with no water or power. Johnny Wilson, Chester, South Carolina One small leak in my roof managed to drip four five-gallon buckets worth of water since yesterday evening. It was an absurd amount of rain. The mood around town has seemed pretty relieved. Everyone was worried for another Hugo. But our town ended up actually sending supplies to a nearby town because we weren’t impacted nearly as bad as expected. Alexander Zupancic, Wilmington, North Carolina (evacuated to Charlotte.) Not being able to communicate with my dad and brother scares the hell out of me. Seeing pictures of my home being torn apart by a storm breaks my heart. Nobody thinks this kind of thing happens to their home until it does. I go to UNC-Wilmington, we have no clue when we can go back or if they’ll suspend the semester. It’s hard to keep in touch, just saying goodbye to my dad was pretty hard. I did everything I could to try and make him leave, he refused, that was very stressful for me, people don’t understand the real effect a hurricane has and how scary it actually is. Jeramy “Bud” Martin, Wilmington, North Carolina (evacuated to Arkansas) I’m from Wilmington, work as an EMT, and can’t get back because of the flooding. My brothers and sisters are exhausted waiting for backup, and I’m in Arkansas with my wife’s family. I’m trying my best to get back home. I have multiple people looking for a route into town for me. There is an organization ([led by] a friend of an Army buddy) that has helped me, as well as another friend that is a pilot that has a ticket for me in Memphis going to Raleigh as soon as I can get there. When I know for a fact the roads are clear, I’m flying out and driving down to my city. My family are here and safe in Arkansas, and that’s my number one priority. So now it’s time to get back to my city and help in any way I can. Terre Logsdon, Rutherfordton, North Carolina I arrived in Rutherfordton last week from Lakeport, California, after being evacuated from the Mendocino Complex [Fire] and watching my county burn. I served in the Emergency Operations Center for [this summer’s] Valley Fire, and I was done with fires. My friends moved to North Carolina from Florida a few years earlier and [told] me to head East. After 10 days on the road, I arrived to hurricane prep. While Rutherfordton has so far only been minimally impacted, it does have me wondering if I made the right decision — or if there are any right decisions to make on where to live anymore.

Florence update: President Donald Trump visits North Carolina to see storm damage

Updated 34 mins ago

WILMINGTON, N.C. --

President Donald Trump has arrived in storm-ravaged North Carolina to take in the devastation left by Florence. Trump traveled south Wednesday as the state was still grappling with massive recovery efforts. He was heading to a briefing at a Marine Corps air station where Air Force One landed in the coastal town of Havelock, one of many communities hit by the torrential rains. Trump told reporters as he departed the White House that he will also visit South Carolina before he returns to the White House later Wednesday. Florence flooding kills 3.4 million poultry, 5,500 hogs, NC officials say The president says he wants to say "hello" to everyone from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the military that are working hard to help residents recover from the storm. Adds Trump: "I think it will be an incredible day." With Wilmington still mostly an island surrounded by Hurricane Florence's floodwaters and people waiting for hours for handouts of necessities like food, North Carolina's governor is pleading with thousands of evacuees to be patient and not return home just yet. "I know it was hard to leave home, and it is even harder to wait and wonder whether you even have a home to go back to," Gov. Roy Cooper said as officials began distributing supplies to residents of Wilmington, population 120,000. The death toll rose to at least 37 in three states Tuesday, with 27 fatalities in North Carolina, as Florence's remnants went in two directions: Water flowed downstream toward the Carolina coast, and storms raced through the Northeast and in to the Atlantic. RELATED: How Chicagoans can help hurricane victims After submerging North Carolina with nearly 3 feet (1 meter) of rain, the storm dumped more than 6.5 inches (16.5 centimeters) of rain in the Northeast, where it caused flash flooding, wind damage and prompted at least one tornado warning, the weather service said. Cooper warned that the flooding set off by the Southeastern deluge was far from over and will get worse in places. 2 sheriff's detainees die when van is swept away by flooding in S. Carolina "I know for many people this feels like a nightmare that just won't end," he said. Addressing roughly 10,000 people who remain in shelters and "countless more" staying elsewhere, Cooper urged residents to stay put for now, particularly those from the hardest-hit coastal counties that include Wilmington, near where Florence blew ashore on Friday. A second shelter is opening in Carteret County. Roads remain treacherous, he said, and some are still being closed for the first time as rivers swelled by torrential rains inland drain toward the Atlantic. National Weather Service time-lapse shows Florence from space In South Carolina, two women died after a van was overtaken by rising flood waters near the Little Pee Dee River. Marion County Coroner Jerry Richardson told The Associated Press that the women, detainees being transported to a mental health facility, drowned at around 6 p.m. Tuesday when a van tried to cross a roadway and was overtaken by water. Their names have not been released. Two other people were sent to a hospital for observation. In Wilmington, workers began handing out supplies using a system resembling a giant fast-food drive-thru: Drivers pulled up to a line of pallets, placed an order and left without having to get out. A woman blew a whistle each time drivers had to pull forward. Todd Tremain needed tarps to cover up spots where Florence's winds ripped shingles off his roof. Others got a case of bottled water or military MREs, or field rations. An olive-drab military forklift moved around huge pallets loaded with supplies. Brandon Echavarrieta struggled to stay composed as he described life post-Florence: no power for days, rotted meat in the freezer, no water or food and just one bath in a week. "It's been pretty bad," said Echavarrieta, 34, his voice breaking. Nearby, about 200 people lined up to buy 40-pound (18-kilogram) bags of ice as quickly as a Rose Ice and Coal Co. could produce it. 'This is Interstate 40': NCDOT shares video of I-40 completely flooded after Hurricane Florence Supplies have been brought into the city by big military trucks and helicopters, which also were used to pluck hundreds of desperate people from homes and other structures. Mayor Bill Saffo said two routes were now open into Wilmington, which had been completely cut off by floodwaters, but those roads could close again as water swells the Cape Fear River on the city's west side. Hurricane Florence in photos At Fayetteville, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) inland, near the Army's sprawling Fort Bragg, the Cape Fear River had risen about 50 feet (15 meters) toward a crest predicted to be more than 25 feet (7 meters) above flood level. On Tuesday, logs and other debris became trapped under a rail bridge as rushing brown water pushed against the span. The flooding got so bad that authorities closed a vehicle bridge in Fayetteville after the river began touching girders supporting the bridge's top deck. Fayetteville Mayor Mitch Colvin said it was unclear if the bridge was threatened. "We've never had it at those levels before so we don't really know what the impact will be just yet," he said. The river swallowed trees, lamp posts and a parking lot near its banks. City officials warned still-rising water threatened some neighborhoods and businesses that seemed safe, but said the worst was nearly over and life was beginning to return to normal downtown. Businesses were re-opening and owners removed sandbags and plywood from storefronts. Human and animal waste is mixing with the swirling floodwaters, which have killed about 1.7 million chickens on poultry farms. More than 5 million gallons (18 million liters) of partially treated sewage spilled into the Cape Fear River after power went out at a treatment plant, officials said, and the earthen dam of a pond holding hog waste was breached, spilling its contents. The governor said 16 rivers statewide were at major flood stage and more than 1,100 roads were closed. Emergency workers reported rescuing and evacuating more than 2,200 people and around 575 animals, he said. In a bright spot, the Lumber River appeared to be falling in hard-hit Lumberton, about 70 miles (110 kilometers) inland.

Israeli terror victim shot assailant before dying

Well known pro-Israel advocate Ari Fuld was killed in a dramatic stabbing attack by the mall in the Gush Etzion junction on Sunday morning.

By Tovah Lazaroff September 16, 2018 11:37

Mortally wounded terror victim Ari Fuld chased his attacker, jumping over a short stone wall and shooting him, before collapsing on the pavement by the mall in the Gush Etzion junction on Sunday morning. A father of four, Fuld stood between the mall and the Rami Levi supermarket when he was stabbed in the back by Khalil Yusef Ali Jabarin, 17, from the city of Yatta in the South Hebron Hills. Evacuated to Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center, he succumbed there to his wounds. A dual citizen of Israel and the United States, Fuld lived in nearby Efrat and had been shopping at the junction at the time of the attack. The junction’s commercial center, where the attack took place, is open to both Israelis and Palestinians and is often touted as an oasis of co-existence. But it has also been the scene of numerous terror attacks in the last three years. According to witness accounts, Jabarin hung out in the mall’s parking lot for a short while before attacking Fuld. He bought a falafel and argued with the shop owner about the price. After the attack, Assaf Shilony discovered that his pizza store’s security camera had captured the critical moments of the drama. He placed some of the footage on his phone and showed it to customers, while they waited for their pizza. The video shows that for more than an hour, Jabarin hung out in the parking lot by the mall. At times, he sat outside the pizza shop’s closed doors. Then he walked up to the corner, Shilony said. Just before the left turn to the Rami Levi supermarket, he stabbed Fuld in the back. Jabarin then fled in the direction of the mall, with Fuld chasing after him, with his gun drawn. Security footage from the pizzeria caught the chase, with panicked pedestrians racing away, Jabarin flying past and Fuld close at his heels. Gaby Vaknin, who works for the Gush Etzion Development Office, witnessed the attack. “I heard someone yell ‘terror attack!’ and saw someone young with a 30 centimeter knife stab [wound],” Vaknin said. He immediately dropped his phone and the small plastic bag he was holding in his hand. Vaknin then placed his hand on the gun he wore at his waist and he too raced after the terrorist. Vaknin said he saw Fuld shoot at Jabarin, before he collapsed from his wounds. As Jabarin neared the mall, Vaknin also shot him. The mall’s security guard, Anatoly Tal Mazan, said he heard screams and saw people running away. As the terrorist came near him, he too drew his gun and shot him. Both Jabarin and Fuld lay wounded on the pavement by the stores, a short distance from each other. Jabarin was transferred to the Hadassah Medical Center in Ein Kerem where his condition was listed as moderate. Regional Council chairman Shlomo Ne’eman temporally moved his office to the Gush Etzion junction, near the spot where Fuld collapsed. People also placed mourner’s candles there. “There is one goal behind these attacks: disrupt our way of life. Our Arab neighbors have to deal with one question: either you live with us here and act like human beings or you choose terrorism and then pay the full price,” Ne’eman said. He called on the Israeli government and the IDF to give a harsh response and “cut the hands of terrorists.” Jerusalem Post staff contributed to this report.

Russia blames Israel after military plane shot down off Syria

18 September 2018

Russia has said Syria shot down one of its military planes - but laid the blame for the deaths of the 15 personnel on board with Israel. The defence ministry said Israeli jets put the Il-20 plane into the path of Syrian air defence systems on Monday after failing to give Moscow enough warning of a strike on Syrian targets. The Il-20 disappeared off the radar at about 23:00 local time (20:00 GMT). The Israel Defence Force (IDF) has expressed "sorrow" over the deaths. A tour of Syria - with the Russian military Russia and Turkey to create Syria buffer zone However, in a statement released on Twitter, it added: "Israel holds the [Syrian President Bashar al-]Assad regime, whose military shot down the Russian plane, fully responsible for this incident." It went on to say its jets were back in Israeli airspace by the time the missiles were launched. Israel - which also blamed Iran and Hezbollah - rarely acknowledges carrying out strikes on Syria, but an Israeli military official recently said it had hit more than 200 Iranian targets in Syria over the past 18 months. The Israeli government is concerned by what it calls Iran's "military entrenchment" in Syria, as well as shipments of Iranian weapons to the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, which is fighting alongside Syrian government forces.  What exactly happened? The details are murky, and Russia's account of the incident has yet to be verified. Monday's incident is reported to have occurred about 35km (22 miles) from the Syrian coast as the Ilyushin Il-20 aircraft was returning to Russia's Hmeimim airbase near the north-western city of Latakia. Russia's Tass news agency says the Il-20 plane "disappeared during an attack by four Israeli F-16 jets on Syrian facilities in Latakia province". Reports on Syrian state media spoke of an attack in the area shortly before the plane disappeared. According to Sana news agency, the military said it had intercepted "enemy missiles coming from the open sea towards the city of Latakia". Syrian television also reported explosions over the sky in Latakia just before 22:00. Thirty minutes later, the Sana Facebook page reported that Syrian air defences had responded to enemy missiles.  What does Russia accuse Israel of doing? In a statement, Russia said Israel's "irresponsible actions" were to blame, saying it was given less than a minute's warning ahead of the strikes, which was not enough time to get the military surveillance plane out of the way. "The Israeli planes deliberately created a dangerous situation for surface ships and aircraft in the area," a defence ministry spokesman said. The spokesman accused Israeli pilots of "using the Russian airplane as a cover", putting it "in the line of fire coming from Syrian air defence systems". Photos 'reveal' Russia jet damage at Hmeimim base Why is there a war in Syria? The plane, the spokesman continued, was shot down by a Syrian missile. "As a result of the irresponsible actions by the Israeli military, 15 Russian servicemen have died," the spokesman said. It is not possible to verify any of these claims. What has Israel said? The IDF said its jets were targeting Syrian military facilities "from which systems to manufacture accurate and lethal weapons were about to be transferred on behalf of Iran to Hezbollah in Lebanon". It added the Syrian anti-aircraft missiles were "inaccurate" and "extensive". What's more, it claimed its jets were back in Israeli airspace by the time the missiles were launched. The statement also accused the Syrian military of failing "to ensure that no Russian planes were in the air", adding it would share the relevant information with Moscow. In an earlier phone call on Tuesday, Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu told his Israeli counterpart Avigdor Lieberman the blame "fully rests with Israel", adding that Russia "reserves the right to take further steps in response". Russia later summoned the Israeli ambassador to its foreign ministry. A search-and-rescue operation is under way. Are the accusations fair? Analysis by Jonathan Marcus, BBC Defence Correspondent Russia's anger is real. But the question is, are the Russians attributing blame fairly? The charges are two-fold. Long-standing and up to now effective information-sharing broke down. The Israeli Air Force has Russian-speaking air traffic controllers able to communicate with their Russian opposite numbers. But Moscow says they were informed of the Israeli raid with only one minute's notice. Secondly Russia charges - more seriously - that the Israelis used the large radar signature of the Ilyushin turbo-prop to mask their own aircraft. But the radar signatures of the relatively slow Ilyushin and four nimble F-16 jets are radically different. Furthermore, the Syrian air defences should have known the Russian plane was in-bound, whatever the Israelis were doing. There may be several contributory factors in this tragedy. Russia cannot publicly castigate its Syrian allies. In private things may be rather different. Why is a Russian aircraft in Syria? Russia began military strikes in Syria in 2015 after a request from President Bashar al-Assad, who has stayed in power despite seven years of civil war which has so far killed more than 350,000 people. The Russian military said in April of this year it had also spent 18 months helping to rebuild the air defence system, according to the UK's Guardian newspaper. Hmeimim is Russia's main base for air strikes on rebel groups in Syria - strikes that have enabled President Assad's forces to recover much lost ground since 2015. Russia says its air strikes only target "terrorists", but activists have said they mainly hit mainstream rebel fighters and civilians. According to The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based monitoring group, at least 7,928 civilians and 10,069 combatants have been killed in Russian strikes. Russia has also suffered personnel losses, including the deaths of 39 people when a Russian military transport plane crashed as it attempted to land at Hmeimim in March.

‘Sesame Street’ Writer: Bert & Ernie were Written as a Gay ‘Loving Couple’

By Joshua Caplan 18 Sep 2018

Mark Saltzman, a longtime writer for the hit children’s television show Sesame Street, reveals characters Bert and Ernie are gay, ending years of speculation about the status of the duo’s relationship. In a sit-down interview with Queerty, Saltzman revealed Bert and Ernie were based on his own relationship with Arnold Glassman, an award-winning documentary film editor. “I remember one time a preschooler [in San Francisco] turned to her mum and asked, ‘are Bert and Ernie lovers?’ and that, coming from a preschooler, was fun,” the writer, who joined Sesame Street in 1984, told the same-sex lifestyle magazine. “That got passed around, and everyone had their chuckle and went back to it,” he added. ”And I always felt that without a huge agenda, when I was writing Bert and Ernie, they were. I didn’t have any other way to contextualise them.” Saltzman claimed people close to him knew that the characters’ relationship was inspired by his relationship with Glassman and said he personally identified more with Ernie than Bert. “I look more Bert-ish. And Arnie as a film editor — if you thought of Bert with a job in the world, wouldn’t that be perfect? Bert with his paperclips and organisation?” he said. “And I was the jokester. So, it was the Bert and Ernie relationship, and I was already with Arnie when I came to Sesame Street.” “So I don’t think I’d know how else to write them, but as a loving couple. I wrote sketches… Arnie’s OCD would create friction with how chaotic I was. And that’s the Bert and Ernie dynamic,” he added. The official Sesame Street Twitter account tweeted a statement Tuesday, saying while Bert and Ernie “are identified as male characters and possess many human traits and characteristics (as most Sesame Street Muppets do), they remain puppets, and do not have a sexual orientation.” According to Pink News, the Sesame Street pair is widely viewed within the LGBT movement as “gay icons. Following the New York State Legislature’s passage of the Marriage Equality Act, a petition was launched calling for Bert and Ernie to be married. In response to the petition, Sesame Street claimed the pair were “created to teach preschoolers that people can be good friends with those who are very different from themselves” “Even though they are identified as male characters and possess many human traits and characteristics, they remain puppets and do not have a sexual orientation,” the statement continued.

Trump Administration Shutting Down PLO Mission in Washington

Why it's the right thing to do.

September 17, 2018 Joseph Puder

In announcing the closure of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) mission in Washington, DC on September 10, 2018, the U.S. State Department asserted that the Palestinians have failed to take steps “to advance the start of direct and meaningful negotiations with Israel.” State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert added that the decision was prompted by Palestinian plans to bring charges against Israel for war crimes to the International Criminal Court in The Hague. Nauert stated that “The U.S. continues to believe that direct negotiations between the two parties are the only way forward.” She added, “We are not retreating from our efforts to achieve a lasting and comprehensive peace.” Nauert pointed out that the Palestinian leadership “has condemned the U.S. peace plan they have not yet seen and refused to engage with the U.S. government with respect to peace efforts and otherwise. As such, and reflecting congressional concerns, the administration has decided that the PLO office in Washington will close at this point.” The Palestinian leadership, in its unwillingness to have direct negotiations with Israel or reach a compromise that would afford them sovereignty and provide Israel with security, is resorting to the familiar Palestinian-Arab stance that is almost a century old. No to the Peel Commission of 1937 that gave Palestinian-Arabs 75% of Western Palestine and 25% to the Palestinian Jews. No to the 1947 UN Partition Plan, which would have given the Palestinian-Arabs a sovereign state. (No to peace with Israel, no recognition of Israel or negotiations with it as resolved at the Khartoum Arab League Summit on September 1, 1967.) No commitment to the Oslo Peace Process (which ended with Arafat’s initiated Second Intifada in September, 2000). It is premised on the Arab-Palestinians unwillingness to share the land with the Jews and their equal refusal to recognize the historical Jewish connection to the Land of Israel. In appealing to the International Criminal Court (ICC), the Palestinians are using it as a subterfuge to avoid negotiations with Israel. Instead, they are alleging that Israel committed crimes in response to the recent clashes with Hamas, and that Israeli settlements are illegal. As for the settlements, Israeli’s have as much right to settle in the Judea and Samaria as the Palestinians have. The “West Bank” is not Palestinian land. It was Jordanian land until June, 1967. Jordan occupied the area during the 1948 War of Independence, and annexed it in 1950, an act which was only recognized by Britain and Pakistan. The area was ostensibly designated to be part of the Arab-Palestinian state under the 1947 Partition Plan (UN Resolution 181). The Palestinian-Arabs rejected the Partition Plan and chose instead to liquidate the newly born Jewish state in what was to become Israel’s 1948 War. Following the Six Day War of June, 1967, the UNSC 242 declared that Israel should withdraw from “territories.” It specifically said not from all territories, in exchange for full peace (which Egypt and Jordan agreed to, and received in return their claims to the Sinai and portions of land along the Jordan River). It clearly meant that Israel had the right to portions of the (West Bank) territory. Therefore, the areas true designation is that of “Disputed Territory.” The only way to resolve this dispute is by direct negotiations between the two parties. Describing the territories as “occupied Palestinian territories” serves only the political agenda of the Palestinians and prejudges the outcome of future negotiations between the parties. In his Address to the Nation on September 1, 1982, President Ronald Reagan declared, I have followed and supported Israel’s heroic struggle for survival, ever since the founding of the State of Israel 34 years ago. In the pre-1967 borders, Israel was barely 10 miles wide at its narrowest point. The bulk of Israel’s population lived within artillery range of hostile Arab armies. I am not about to ask Israel to live that way again. The Palestinian terrorist group Hamas has organized the Gaza march over the border with Israel. Using Palestinian civilians as “human shields,” they fired at Israeli soldiers defending the border and protecting the civilian population in nearby Negev communities. Hamas has also provocatively fired rockets into Israel, targeting civilians including kindergartens. Palestinian charges are so ludicrous that only biased international bodies such as the ICC would accept the charges of the Palestinians. According to Israel’s Foreign Ministry, the ICC lacks jurisdiction over the Israeli-Palestinian issue, since Israel (like the U.S.), is not a member of the court, and because the Palestinian Authority (PA) is not a state. On September 10, 2018, U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton, appearing before the Federalist Society, said that the ICC is “illegitimate and for all intents and purposes, is already dead to us” and was biased against Israel and called the institution as a whole, “Ineffective, unaccountable, and indeed, outright dangerous.” He went on to say, While the court welcomes the membership of the so-called State of Palestine, it has threatened Israel, a liberal, democratic nation, with investigation into its actions to defend its citizens from terrorist attacks in the West Bank and Gaza. There has also been a suggestion that the ICC will investigate Israeli construction of housing projects on the West Bank. Bolton added, If the court comes after us, Israel, or other U.S. allies, we will not sit quietly, we will ban its judges and prosecutors from entering the U.S. We will sanction their funds in the U.S. financial system, and we will prosecute them in the U.S. criminal system. We will do the same for any company or state that assists an ICC investigation of Americans. Zeev Jabotinsky, one of the giants of Zionism and the founder of Jewish self-defense organizations such as the Haganah and the Irgun, who inspired both Prime Ministers Menachem Begin and Benjamin Netanyahu, wrote in his 1923 pamphlet The Iron Wall, that the Arabs would never voluntarily come to an agreement with the Zionists: If the Zionists wanted a foothold in Palestine, Arab violence would have to be met with an Iron Wall…As long as the (Palestinian) Arabs feel that there is at least hope of getting rid of us, they will refuse to give up this hope in return for either kind words or for bread and butter, because they are not a rabble, but a living people. And when a living people yields in matters of such vital character it is only when there is no longer any hope of getting rid of us, because they can make no breach in the iron wall. Not till then will they drop their extremist leaders, whose watchword is Never! Zeev Jabotinsky’s prophetic words are as true today as they were 95 years ago. The Palestinian people are led by extremist leaders who will never compromise as long as they are personally living well while their people suffer, and as long as they believe that Israel can be destroyed by BDS campaigns or international organizations such as the UN and ICC. The Trump administration's measures have served to fortify the Iron Wall by moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, and cutting aid money to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine (UNRWA). UNRWA has perpetuated Palestinian victimhood and refused to rehabilitate and house the refugees as Israel did with its refugees from the Arab world. Closing the Palestinian mission in Washington is yet another step that forces Palestinians to realize that Israel is here to stay, and they will have to either compromise or remain hopeless.

Bears showed ‘abnormal behavior’ in attack that killed hunting guide, Wyoming official says

By Kaitlyn Alanis kalanis@wichitaeagle.com September 17, 2018 11:10 AM Updated September 17, 2018 11:21 AM

Two grizzly bears that officials believe killed a hunting guide and mauled a hunter showed “abnormal behavior” during the attack, a Wyoming wildlife official told the Jackson Hole News & Guide. The bears — a mother and her grown cub — were aggressive during the Friday afternoon attack near the border of Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks, wildlife officials said, according to USA Today. “The behavior exhibited by these bears is abnormal behavior for a family group,” Brad Hovinga with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department told the News & Guide. “It’s not typically how we would see family groups behave.” Teton County officials said the bears did not touch the elk that the two hunters were packing, but instead only “aggressively” charged the two men, according to USA Today. “The elk carcass was ‘undisturbed’ when it was located ... which suggests that the bear was not necessarily food guarding — a common behavior that often leads to conflicts with humans, especially hunters,” the News & Guide reported. “What’s uncommon is for hunter-grizzly conflicts to turn fatal for the people.” The bears killed hunting guide Mark Uptain, of Wyoming, and injured hunter Corey Chubon, of Florida, Buckrail reported. Chubon had shot an elk during a “guided bow hunt” on Thursday, but he and Uptain were unable to find the elk before nightfall. They returned on Friday to find the elk. When they found the “undisturbed carcass,” they were “aggressively charged by two large bears,” Buckrail reported. “We heard rocks stumble and out of nowhere two grizzly bears just started charging at us,” Chubon told WKMG. One of the bears then grabbed Chubbon by the back of his leg, he told WESH in a video interview. “I don’t even know if I would ever even imagine seeing “I don’t even know if I would ever even imagine seeing something like that happening in my life,” he told the station. “In probably one of the most poignant moments of all of it, when that bear did have me by the back of the leg, thinking to myself, this is it, this is my death, this is how I’m dying.” He was able to get away from the bear, though, and he then threw his gun at Uptain — but the gun didn’t make it to him, he told WESH. “Somehow, the grizzly let me go and charged Mark again and that’s when I made the decision to just run for my life,” Chubbon told the station. He then climbed back on his horse, rode to a mountain to get cell service and called for help, WKMG reported. Uptain’s body was found Sunday afternoon about a quarter mile away from the attack, the News & Guide reported. His body was intact. “Mark Uptain passed away in a tragic hunting accident,” a family-friend wrote on his GoFundMe page. “He was doing one of activities he had extreme passion for. An experienced hunting guide in the backcountry of Wyoming.” He is survived by his wife and five kids, according to the fundraising page.

Something Huge Is Coming: Rapid Series Of Events Shows Groups Are 'Pulling Out All The Stops' To Manipulate Midterm Elections

September 13, 2018 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

There is an old idiom "pull out all the stops," which references the use of all the resources or force at one's disposal in order do everything they possibly can to make something happen in the way that they want it to, and a look at some of the news we are seeing this past week, shows us that the media, big tech and liberals (Yes, I know they are all the same thing) are doing exactly that ahead of the midterm elections in order to manipulate the outcome. THE DAMN IS BREAKING A number of seemingly unrelated events are occurring simultaneously which when one takes a step back and looks at them all as a whole, rather than separate occurrences, indicates something huge is coming as we near the midterm elections. On Wednesday we detailed the flurry of recent attacks against conservatives, online and off, including, but not limited to; The attempted murder of a GOP candidate in California, and; Rape and death threats against a female conservative writer, forcing her to hide out in her own home. (Read more on that in the ANP article here) Since that article, we have noted another strange form of protest by an unhinged, deranged Las Vegas, liberal professor who thought that shooting himself on school property was a good way to protest President Trump. Big Tech Censors #WalkAway Founder: As many know by now there is a new movement that has become huge after a gay hairdresser from New York, Brandon Straka, created a viral video explaining why, after voting for Barack Obama, twice, he walked away from the Democratic party. Thousands started using the #WalkAway hashtag on Twitter to tell their stories of when they too felt the need to #WalkAway from the Democratic and why. The media then went into full damage-control mode and started claiming that "Russian bots" were behind the #WalkAway campaign and hashtag. Then Americans started using video to explain that 1) They are not Russian bots, and; 2) Why they needed to #WalkAway. Powerful testimonials, citing liberal media bias, the violence being perpetrated by the left against MAGA supporters and conservatives, lies they had been told and only discovered them after they started to research on their own and stopped trusting the liberal establishment media. The movement exploded online and offline and the founder, Brandon Straka decided to organize a #WalkAway March for October, and has been working towards that goal for weeks. Now big tech has stepped in to prevent Mr. Straka from promoting his rally, with Facebook banning him from promoting his event and his interviews, because he dared promote his own interview with Alex Jones. (Facebook and over a dozen others colluded to block Alex Jones on their platforms, all on the same day in August in one of the most blatant acts of censorship against an entity ever) Via Daily Dot: Straka said the suspension comes ahead of his planned march on Washington, D.C. and cuts him off from over 180,000 members of his #WalkAway campaign (the #WalkAway Facebook group has just over 76,000 likes). “I’m devastated right now. WalkAway Campaign is a grassroots movement. We don’t have corporate sponsors. We don’t have backers. We are raising the money and the awareness for our event ourselves. We use GoFundMe to raise money. And today Facebook took away my ability to communicate with the 180,000 members of the campaign leading up to the March,” Straka told right-wing outlet the Gateway Pundit. “This is going to smash my ability to provide information, answer questions, raise money, and rally with my people,” he continued. Note: One does not have to agree with Alex Jones to be disturbed by the coordinated censorship and the deliberate attempts to limit his online visibility, because big tech disagrees with his messaging and his opinion. The banning of Straka for nothing more than promoting his own interview regarding his #WalkAway movement is even more blatant as big tech attempts to prevent more Democrats from awakening to his message and perhaps deciding to #WalkAway themselves. Reddit Joins Big Tech In Censoring: In another act of blatant censorship, from an unexpected source and unrelated to Straka and the #WalkAway movement, we see a number of coordinated media reports about Reddit banning a QAnon subreddit. Disclaimier: While we at ANP do not report on the mysterious Q messages, we do watch, observe and research them as we do everything else, and whether the unknown person is what they call a "LARP" (Live action role-player) or someone really in the know, is of no consequence to the main point. The point is censorship, preventing a large number of people, and this Q-person has a huge following, even if many do not subscribe to the belief that he/she is anything more than someone pretending to be "in the know." When dozens of liberal establishment media outlets coordinate to report on the same story, all within hours of each other, there is always something afoot. Looking into it, we now see that not only was that one subreddit banned for violating content policies, but every Qanon-related subreddit has now been banned on Reddit, including:

/r/The_GreatAwakening

r/thegreatawakening

r/AFTERTHESTQRM

r/BiblicalQ

r/TheCalmBeforeTheStorm

r/CalmBeforeTheStorm

r/qproofs

r/greatest_awakening

r/great_awaken

r/QClearanceAnon

r/greatawakening2

r/TheStorm

r/QAnon

r/Quincels

r/quqanon

Now when you click any one of those subreddits, the message on the screen states "This community has been banned," and as of this writing, they all say "Banned 20 hours ago," meaning they did a sweeping ban, (censored) all subreddits at the same time, for supposedly violating their content policy. Just as I said about the coordinated ban against Alex Jones and InfoWars, one does not have to agree with them, nor believe in all their theories or messaging, to be abhorred by the blanket ban of discussion on any topic or person that others wish to discuss online. Twitter Declares Legal Term 'Illegal Alien' To Be 'Hateful Content: The definition of "illegal alien" is "a foreigner who has entered or resides in a country unlawfully or without the country's authorization. The DHS definition of terms also defines the word "alien" as "Any person not a citizen or national of the United States." It appears Twitter doesn't care about proper terminology, nor legal terminology, as the Center of Immigration Studies has now been blocked from promoting any post that includes the term "illegal alien," as described in a recent set of tweets explaining Twitter's censoring of their posts. Via their Twitter account on September 11, 2018: "1/ Twitter is not allowing us to promote any tweets including the phrase "illegal alien(s)", citing it as Hateful Content. However, the phrase "illegal aliens" has been used in both federal law and by the Supreme Court." "2/ From Arizona v. United States (2012): "There is no reason Arizona cannot make it a state crime for a removable alien (or any illegal alien, for that matter) to remain present in Arizona. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/ 11pdf/11-182b5e1.pdf" 

"3/ Title 8 of the United States Code, Section 1365: "The Attorney General shall reimburse a State for the costs incurred by the State for the imprisonment of any illegal alien or Cuban national who is convicted of a felony by such State" - https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1365

Google Leaked Video Shows Employee Snowflakes Melting Down After 2016 Election: Last but not least, Google the "biggest" of big tech, is reeling from a leaked video that Breitbart published showing Google employees, crying, group hugging and bemoaning the loss of their favored candidate, Hillary Clinton after the 2016 presidential election. Some key moments Breitbart describes from the video shown below: (00:01:12) Returning to seriousness, Brin says he is “deeply offen[ded]” by the election of Trump, and that the election “conflicts with many of [Google’s] values.” (00:09:10) Trying to explain the motivations of Trump supporters, Senior VP for Global Affairs, Kent Walker concludes: “fear, not just in the United States, but around the world is fueling concerns, xenophobia, hatred, and a desire for answers that may or may not be there.” (00:09:35) Walker goes on to describe the Trump phenomenon as a sign of “tribalism that’s self-destructive [in] the long-term.” (00:09:55) Striking an optimistic tone, Walker assures Google employees that despite the election, “history is on our side” and that the “moral arc of history bends towards progress.” (00:10:45) Walker approvingly quotes former Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi’s comparison between “the world of the wall” with its “isolation and defensiveness” and the “world of the square, the piazza, the marketplace, where people come together into a community and enrich each other’s lives.” (00:13:10) CFO Ruth Porat appears to break down in tears when discussing the election result. (00:15:20) Porat promises that Google will “use the great strength and resources and reach we have to continue to advance really important values.” (00:16:50) Stating “we all need a hug,” she then instructs the audience of Google employees to hug the person closest to them. (00:20:24) Eileen Naughton, VP of People Operations, promises that Google’s policy team in DC is “all over” the immigration issue and that the company will “keep a close watch on it.” (00:27:30) Sergey Brin praises an audience member’s suggestion of increasing matched Google employee donations to progressive groups. (00:34:40) Brin compares Trump voters to “extremists,” arguing for a correlation between the economic background of Trump supporters and the kinds of voters who back extremist movements. Brin says that “voting is not a rational act” and that not all of Trump’s support can be attributed to “income disparity.” He suggests that Trump voters might have been motivated by boredom rather than legitimate concerns. (00:49:10) An employee asks if Google is willing to “invest in grassroots, hyper-local efforts to bring tools and services and understanding of Google products and knowledge” so that people can “make informed decisions that are best for themselves.” Pichai’s response: Google will ensure its “educational products” reach “segments of the population [they] are not [currently] fully reaching.” (00:54:33) An employee asks what Google is going to do about “misinformation” and “fake news” shared by “low-information voters.” Pichai responds by stating that “investments in machine learning and AI” are a “big opportunity” to fix the problem. (00:56:12) Responding to an audience member, Walker says Google must ensure the rise of populism doesn’t turn into “a world war or something catastrophic … and instead is a blip, a hiccup.”  (00:58:22) Brin compares Trump voters to supporters of fascism and communism, linking the former movement to “boredom,” which Brin previously linked to Trump voters. “It sort of sneaks up sometimes, really bad things” says Brin.

BOTTOM LINE While the leaked Google video gives us great insight as to big techs obvious, unfiltered bias, the increased violence against conservatives, along with the coordinated efforts to prevent any message or opinion that these tech and social media giants do not approve of from becoming viral or spreading to others, makes it all the more important for readers to share what they find important, whether on social media, or via email to their contacts lists, or in comment sections or chat forums, etc.... They have ramped up all lines of attacks against Independent Media and conservative messaging to prevent open and free discussions online. Bottom line here is that if these tech companies and social media platforms are getting so blatant in their open censorship, something huge is coming because they feel the ramifications later are not as important as manipulating the upcoming midterm elections.

Understanding The Tactics Of Subversive Globalism

Wednesday, 12 September 2018 10:46 Brandon Smith

When the ideology of globalism is discussed in liberty movement circles there are often misunderstandings as to the source of the threat and what it truly represents. This may in some cases be by design. In the latest era of supposed “populism” led by figures like Donald Trump, an entirely new and very green generation of liberty activists find themselves hyper focused on the political left in general, but they seem to be obsessed with attacking the symptoms of globalism rather than the source. I attribute this to a clever propaganda campaign by globalist institutions. For example, when globalism is brought up in terms of its conspiratorial influences, the name of George Soros is usually mentioned. Soros is an obvious bogeyman for liberty activists because his money can be found flowing to numerous Cultural Marxist (social justice) organizations and his influence is easily grasped and digested in that way. Conservatives like placing emphasis on Soros because he appears decidedly leftist and thus globalism becomes synonymous with leftist movements. But what about all the globalists within the political right? Globalism has its gatekeepers in both political camps; people that manipulate or outright control political leaders and political messages on the right just as they do on the left. While someone like George Soros acts as a gatekeeper for the left, we also have people like Henry Kissinger, a globalist gatekeeper for the right. Kissinger’s close relations with the Trump administration or his long time friendship with Russia’s Vladimir Putin are brought up far less in the liberty movement these days. Why? Because this does not fit with the false narrative that the globalists are “targeting” Trump or Putin. When you examine these leaders and their ties to a vast array of globalist proponents, this claim becomes absurd. In 2016, months before the presidential election, the globalist media outlet Bloomberg published an article which salivated over the possibility that Trump would swallow up and assimilate what they called the “Tea Party,” ultimately destroying it. At that time the media used the term “Tea Party” as code for any sovereignty or constitutional group, just as the media tried to wrap us all up in the term “alt-right” after Trump’s election. There was a reason why Bloomberg found particular glee in the notion that Trump would absorb the liberty movement. The movement was becoming a decentralized threat to the globalist agenda, a threat that could not be easily quantified or dominated because it had no identifiable leadership. We were a movement based on knowledge and individual action. Our best “leaders” have been teachers, not politicians, and these were people that led by personal example, not by mandate or rhetoric. The liberty movement was winning ground in every conceivable arena, from the dismantling of the mainstream media through alternative platforms, to the great push back against social justice cultism. Something had to be done. Enter Trump, a brash pop culture icon with a flare for sensationalism. He was no statesman like Ron Paul explaining the intricacies of America’s problems in a measured way. No, Trump was like a wrecking ball, a loud and blatant message to the left that we were tired of being on the defensive and we were coming for them. But the reality was that Trump was not a necessary element of the fight. He never was. Anti-globalism and anti-social justice were already hitting the mainstream. The left was already on the run. Trump didn’t create that wave, the liberty movement did that for him, he just rode it into the White House. You’re welcome, Donald. The problem was that Trump was not what he seemed to be to many people. With all his rhetoric against the banking elites which he referred to as creatures of the “swamp” choking Washington, Trump then proceeded to load up his presidential cabinet with elitists and globalists as soon as he was elected. These very same cabinet members and advisers went on to attend globalist meetings like the secretive Bilderberg Group AFTER Trump had been elected. People like Rothschild banking agent and Commerce Secretary Wilber Ross who officially attended in 2017, or adviser Peter Thiel who officially attended in 2018. This was not at all surprising to me. I predicted this would be the likely outcome (along with a Trump presidency) in my article “Clinton Versus Trump And The Co-Option Of The Liberty Movement,” published in September 2016. The point is, simply picking the side of the political right is not enough to protect activists from globalist subversion. By rallying around controlled politicians and bottle-necking our actions the liberty movement makes itself vulnerable and decidedly impotent. So, the question arises — how do we continue to fight against the 4th Generation warfare being levied against us? Part of the solution continues to rest in our own understanding of the enemy. I still hold to the idea that the best way to understand globalism is to study and expose the efforts of a group called the “Fabian Society,” otherwise known as Fabian Socialists. The society was founded in England in 1884 and was an extension of the “Round Table” groups being established by global elitists in the West at the time. The Fabians have been at the forefront of almost every pro-socialist and pro-globalist movement of the past century, and while they do not get as much attention as institutions like the Council on Foreign Relations or even the Bilderberg Group, their open discussions on their own motivations and goals make them a prime source of data on the psychology of our opponents. The Fabian Society has multiple mascots which hint at the nature of globalism. One symbol of the group is an angry turtle with the slogan “When I strike I strike hard,” indicating the slow and deliberate nature of globalism and its methodical spread into every aspect of our daily lives. Another mascot they have used in the past is a wolf dressed up as a sheep, a symbol which I think is self explanatory, but to clarify - a person that appears to be anti-globalist in rhetoric or who is criticized by people like the Fabians may still be a Fabian in disguise. Their relationships with elitists will expose their true nature as a Trojan Horse. I think that the best representation of these people and their thinking resides in their own words, however. Here are some choice quotes from past members: …The Open Conspiracy will appear first, I believe as a conscious organization of intelligent, and in some cases wealthy men, as a movement having distinct social and political aims, confessedly ignoring most of the existing apparatus of political control, or using it only as an incidental implement in the stages, a mere movement of a number of people in a certain direction, who will presently discover, with a sort of a surprise, the common object toward which they are all moving. In all sorts of ways, they will be influencing and controlling the ostensible government.” — H.G. Wells: The Open Conspiracy: Blue Prints for a World Revolution, 1928. “I also made it quite clear that socialism means equality of income or nothing, and that under Socialism you would not be allowed to be poor. You would be forcibly fed, clothed, lodged, taught, and employed whether you like it or not. If it were discovered that you had not character and industry enough to be worth all this trouble, you might possibly be executed in a kindly manner; but whilst you were permitted to live you would have to live well.” — George Bernard Shaw, The Intelligent Woman’s Guide to Socialism and Capitalism, 1928 “I do not pretend that birth control is the only way in which population can be kept from increasing. There are others, which, one must suppose, opponents of birth control would prefer. War, as I remarked a moment ago, has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove more effective. If a Black Death could be spread throughout the world once in every generation survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. There would be nothing in this to offend the consciences of the devout or to restrain the ambitions of nationalists. The state of affairs might be somewhat unpleasant, but what of that? Really high-minded people are indifferent to happiness, especially other people’s.” — Bertrand Russell, The Impact of Science on Society, 1953 “I think the subject which will be of most importance politically is mass psychology. … Various results will soon be arrived at: that the influence of home is obstructive… although this science will be diligently studied, it will be rigidly confined to the governing class. The populace will not be allowed to know how its convictions were generated. When the technique has been perfected, every government that has been in charge of education for a generatio will be able to control its subjects securely without the need of armies or policemen … Educational propaganda, with government help, could achieve this result in a generation. There are, however, two powerful forces opposed to such a policy: one is religion; the other is nationalism. … A scientific world society cannot be stable unless there is a world government.” — Bertrand Russell: The Impact of Science on Society, 1953 “And it seems to me perfectly in the cards that there will be within the next generation or so a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing … a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda, brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods.” — Aldous Huxley, “The Ultimate Revolution” March 20, 1962 Berkeley Language Center Today, the Fabian Society still exists and operates as a think tank much like any other globalist think tank. Their articles and essays push the latest globalist propaganda from the erasure of national sovereignty to the promotion of gender politics and gender “fluidity.” But what can we draw from these writings and the statements of past members? First, globalists use guerrilla-like tactics to achieve their goals and they often act slowly and quietly over the course of years or decades. The Fabian Society was named after the Roman General Quintus Fabius Maximus who famously used tactics of attrition and delay to defeat his enemies. Liberty activists need to start thinking in terms of the long game, much like a chess player does, in order to grasp the globalist agenda. The events triggered today may have intended effects which are not necessarily obvious to us now unless we consider how they relate to the greater scheme. This is especially true in terms of economics. Globalists stage fiscal bubbles many years in advance, and use economic crisis as a catalyst for social change on a grand scale. Usually this results in ever increasing centralization of wealth and power. However, the shift of financial dominance is subtle to those who do not pay particular attention to the details. A market bubble might take a decade to develop before it is deliberately popped. In the meantime all the fundamentals are screaming that something is very wrong, but the majority of the public remains oblivious until it is too late. Second, control of governments and political leaders is paramount to the success of globalism. The notion that ANY major political leader comes to power without globalist influence is utterly naive. Trump and his swamp creature appointed cabinet are perfect examples of this. Rhetoric is meaningless, and while such leaders may throw their base a bone now and then, in the end their actions only push the ball forward for the globalists. This may even include sabotaging their own presidency to make way for a globalist “solution.” Third, mass psychology is a globalist obsession. All power stems from perception. Figureheads and ideological groups sometimes offer the promise of social advantage to the public without much effort on their part. The temptation of this offer can lead people to hand over their free will in exchange. But not all “progress” is actually advantageous for the masses and misery usually follows such Faustian deals with the elites. Escape is difficult. Therefore, globalists must control the narrative at all costs. The public has to be divided as much as possible in order to keep them distracted from the guiding hand of the cabal itself. And, any group that opposes them directly has to be co-opted or destroyed. The more people focus on globalists and their organizations as the core source of social instability, the more uncomfortable they become. Fourth, most globalist actions today rely on 4th Generation warfare; meaning, few things are exactly as they seem, ever. I suspect the success of liberty activists has forced them into more elaborate forms of theater. Nothing they do is ever simple unless you have studied the motivations and mindset of the globalists, then they become rather predictable, unoriginal and bizarrely robotic in their behavior. They appear brilliant in the execution of their agendas only because they have centuries of experience implementing the same con games over and over. They are sociopathic grifters; they are clever and without remorse, but not geniuses in any sense of the word. For now, educating the general liberty movement and the people around us on these issues remains the best method for throwing a monkey wrench into the globalist machine. Countering their psyops should be our pinnacle task, and falling into the narrative traps they create must be avoided. They have spent a considerable amount of thought and energy trying to co-opt our efforts, and that should give everyone pause. For if we were not a true threat, why would they bother with us?

The monopoly-busting case against Google, Amazon, Uber, and Facebook

What tech companies have to fear from antitrust law

By Russell Brandom@russellbrandom Sep 5, 2018, 8:14am EDT  Illustrations by William Joel

Antitrust crusaders have built up serious momentum in Washington, but so far, it’s all been theory and talk. Groups like Open Markets have made a strong case that big companies (especially big tech companies) are distorting the market to drive out competitors. We need a new standard for monopolies, they argue, one that focuses less on consumer harm and more on the skewed incentives produced by a company the size of Facebook or Google. Someday soon, those ideas will be put to the test, probably against one of a handful of companies. For anti-monopolists, it’s a chance to reshape tech into something more democratic and less destructive. It’s just a question of which company makes the best target. To that end, here’s the case against four of the movement’s biggest targets, and what they might look like if they came out on the losing end. (Note: Apple was too much of a conventional retailer to make the list, but if you’re wondering what an antitrust lawsuit against Cupertino might look like, this is a pretty good place to start.)

What happens if Apple loses its Supreme Court App Store antitrust appeal?

134 comments

By Adi Robertson@thedextriarchy Jun 20, 2018, 12:19pm EDT

Earlier this week, the Supreme Court officially picked up the long-running antitrust case Apple v. Pepper. The court will decide whether iPhone users can sue Apple for locking down the iOS ecosystem, something the suit’s plaintiffs say is creating an anti-competitive monopoly. Apple v. Pepper could theoretically affect how tech companies can build walled gardens around their products. The Supreme Court isn’t going to make a call on that specific issue, but its decision could affect people’s relationship with all kinds of digital platforms. Here’s what’s at stake when the Supreme Court case starts, which should happen sometime in the next year. What is Apple v. Pepper? Apple Inc. v. Robert Pepper is the latest salvo in a legal fight over Apple’s iOS App Store. A group of iPhone buyers are claiming that Apple’s locked-down ecosystem artificially inflates the prices of apps because all developers must go through a single store that takes a cut of their revenue. The buyers argue that Apple has established an unlawful monopoly over iOS apps, and they’re asking the courts to make Apple allow third-party iOS apps, in addition to repaying every iOS user it’s overcharged in the past.  How did we get here? Apple v. Pepper began as a broader antitrust complaint in 2011. Robert Pepper and three other iPhone owners claimed that Apple had stifled competition and driven up prices on its iPhone — partly by locking out third-party apps and partly by signing a five-year exclusivity deal with AT&T. A court struck the latter claim in 2013. Since then, the class action case has focused purely on the App Store. In 2014, Apple won a judgment against Pepper, and the complaint was dismissed. But the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed that decision in early 2017, allowing the case to move forward. Now, Apple is petitioning the Supreme Court to throw it out again. What’s the actual argument? The central dispute is relatively simple: Apple only allows iOS users to install apps through its App Store. Any third-party stores require jailbreaking your phone and voiding the warranty. Apple also takes a 30 percent commission on apps that are sold through the App Store. Pepper’s complaint concludes that developers are logically passing that cost along to consumers. The complaint says that iPhone users have paid “hundreds of millions of dollars more” for apps “than they would have paid in a competitive market.” That’s a claim that could be challenged in court, but there are real-world examples of apps passing costs to customers. Spotify, for instance, charged iTunes subscribers a higher fee before simply disabling that payment option. Apple denies the claim that its closed ecosystem is an unlawful monopoly. It says users can buy apps on other platforms, and that by definition, opening the App Store in 2008 created new competitive opportunities. But courts haven’t made a call on this argument yet. Instead, they’ve focused on whether iPhone users can sue Apple at all. In 1977, the Supreme Court established what’s known as the Illinois Brick doctrine, which says that “indirect purchasers” can’t sue a company for antitrust damages. Pepper’s lawsuit portrays Apple as directly selling iOS apps to users at a markup. But Apple claims that iOS users are essentially buying apps from developers, who are buying Apple’s software distribution services, which would make developers the only direct purchasers with the right to sue Apple. If Apple convinces the Supreme Court that this is correct, it doesn’t even have to worry about the monopoly question. Sure, a developer could sue the company later, but developers have a strong incentive to stay friendly with Apple — and they actually benefit from iOS’s locked-down, piracy-unfriendly system. Is Apple technically selling apps to users? Yes, according to the 2017 ruling that Apple is appealing. The Ninth Circuit appeals court disregarded Apple’s arguments — like the fact that it’s taking a commission from developers rather than adding a fee to user transactions — as hair-splitting. It determined that regardless of who’s making the apps or setting the exact prices, Apple is acting as a distributor, which gives it a direct relationship with its customers. But a lower court didn’t agree with that interpretation, and there’s no guarantee the Supreme Court will either. So... what does happen if Apple loses? Nothing — yet. If a court rules that Apple has an unlawful monopoly, it could require Apple to pay out hundreds of millions of dollars or even change its App Store model. If the Supreme Court upholds the Ninth Circuit’s decision, though, it will just send the case back to a lower court, where the fight will keep going. But the decision will also affect how much power consumers have over digital platforms. In 1998, a major appeals court ruling shot down concertgoers who sued Ticketmaster for driving up ticket prices, saying that Ticketmaster was actually selling distribution services to concert venues. The Ninth Circuit’s opinion explicitly says that decision was wrong. So a favorable Supreme Court ruling wouldn’t just keep this particular lawsuit alive. It could make other powerful online stores — or, in Reuters’ less-charitable estimation, “toll-keepers” — more accountable toward their users.

Missing Wikileaks Associates' Belongings Discovered In Waters Near Norway

by Tyler Durden Thu, 09/13/2018 - 07:35

More than three weeks after Wikileaks associate Arjen Kamphuis disappeared without a trace, a local fisherman has discovered his belongings in a sea in northern Norway, prompting local police to search the water and land around where the items were found, the Daily Mail reports. Arjen Kamphuis, 47, had been missing since leaving his hotel in the northern Norwegian town of Bodo on Aug. 20. He was staying there while on holiday, but the time had come for him to travel back to his home country, the Netherlands. He had been expected to fly home to Amsterdam on Aug. 22, but Kamphuis didn't show up for his flight, which was set to depart from the Norwegian town of Trondheim, located more than 700 kilometers south of Bodo. Kamphuis's belongings were found in the waters of a fjord near Kvaenflaget, some 30 miles east of Bodo. Police have so far refused to comment beyond confirming that the items belonged to Kamphuis. "Due to the ongoing investigation the police do not at this time wish to release any information about which specific items that have been found," Norwegian police said in a statement on Wednesday. An avid hiker, Kamphuis disappeared after leaving his hotel in Bodø, Norway on August 20, as we reported earlier this month. He was set to fly out of Trondheim on August 22 after a 10-hour train ride. Wikileaks said that it's possible Kamphuis disappeared on the 10-hour train ride between Bodo and Trondheim, though authorities have claimed he had taken a train from Bodo to the town of Rognan on the day he disappeared. "The train between the two takes (approximately) 10 hours, suggesting he disappeared either in Bodo, Trondheim or on the train," the organization said. Judging by a recent tweet claiming that Kamphuis' cellphone was used more than ten days after his disappearance, Wikileaks remains hopeful that Kamphuis will eventually be found alive. Though news of the cellphone's activation has only added to the mystery. His phone was purportedly used near the southwestern city of Stavanger on Aug. 30, which is roughly 1,600 km from Bodo. But authorities could not confirm if it was Kamphuis who had switched the phone on. Both German and Dutch SIM cards had been used by the phone on that day. So far, authorities have given no indication that foul play was involved in his disappearance. Police are reportedly examining three theories to explain Kamphuis' disappearance: a voluntary disappearance including a possible suicide, an accident, or a crime. "We haven't made enough progress in the case to be able to eliminate or confirm any of these three theories," said inspector Bjarte Walla. "We are keeping all options open." However, a friend of Kamphuis has emphasized that his involvement with Wikileaks was "minimal" and that he really only helped the organization with information security to secure its valuable trove of leaked documents. The same friend added that "there were absolutely no signs that he wanted to disappear," claiming instead that he "wanted to live a private life." Still, speculation over what's happened to the Assange associate has ranged from "going dark" for a clandestine Wikileaks mission to being killed by agents of the "five eyes" intelligence alliance. Posters bearing Kamphuis's likeness have begun circulating online:

CHIP PARTY: Wisconsin Tech Company Three Square Market Known For Microchipping Employees Rolling Out Global Tracking Chip

Three Square Market provides self-service kiosks to office break rooms across the U.S. and abroad, but the technology company made headlines last July when it announced it would cover the costs of microchip implants for its employees. A little over a year later, Westby says 92 out of 196 of the company's employees have been chipped. Only one person — a former employee — has had the chip removed. “We started with a simple little chip, and now it’s evolved into a whole other business. We’re in development right now of an actual chip that will be powered by the human body … and it will have GPS-tracking capabilities along with voice recognition,” Westby said. Last year we reported to you about the tech company in Wisconsin, Three Square Market, that created a human implantable microchip to control devices we interact with everyday. The story created a huge end times ‘buzz’ felt around the world as Bible believers immediately made the connection between this and the prophesied Mark of the Beast the Bible tells us about. The one we read about here. “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.” Revelation 13:16-18 (KJV) So this morning I get an email from a news outlet in the UK, People Management, asking me if they could have permission to use one of the images from our story on the Three Square ‘chip party’, because they wanted to do another article on Three Square. As it turns out, Three Square has taken their original chip, which they promised would never be used to track people, and are now rolling out a whole new version of the chip for the express purpose of tracking people. On one hand, when I saw how the Lord is using NTEB to stand in the gap and be a witness to the gathering spiritual darkness of the implantable microchip, so much so that as this technology is being rolled out, NTEB is right in the middle of it all warning saved and lost alike, it was really a nice confirmation of this ministry and what we are called to do. One the other hand, I felt my heart breaking for the thousands and soon to be millions of people who will be deceived into taking the Mark in the time of Jacob’s trouble in the days after the Rapture of the Church. How close are we? Don’t’ blink or you’ll miss it. Better yet, get saved now and miss the coming time where chipping will be mandatory under Antichrist. “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” 1 Corinthians 15:51,51 (KJV) FROM CNBC: A Wisconsin-based technology company, Three Square Market, famous for microchipping willing employees plans to debut a microchip with GPS technology and voice recognition that will be powered by body heat, Three Square Market CEO Todd Westby announced on CNBC’s “Closing Bell” on Wednesday. “We started with a simple little chip, and now it’s evolved into a whole other business. We’re in development right now of an actual chip that will be powered by the human body … and it will have GPS-tracking capabilities along with voice recognition,” Westby said.  Three Square Market in 2017 first announced their plan to implant chips in all their employees Three Square Market provides self-service kiosks to office break rooms across the U.S. and abroad, but the technology company made headlines last July when it announced it would cover the costs of microchip implants for its employees. A little over a year later, Westby says 92 out of 196 of the company’s employees have been chipped. Only one person — a former employee — has had the chip removed. “The vast majority of our employees absolutely love the conveniences that having this chip in their hand really brings to them,” Westby said. Westby described the chip as similar to an ID badge that can never get lost. It assists employees with day-to-day tasks, such as unlocking doors, logging in to computers using printers, and buying snacks. Three Square Market CEO on implanting employees with microchips, and the new 2018 tracking chip The company initially received some backlash from critics questioning whether the company would be tracking its employees outside of the workplace. Executives insisted there was no GPS tracking. But that is about to change. Inspired by the chips it implanted in its employees, the company decided to develop a more advanced chip. READ MORE  ADDENDUM TO THE ORIGINAL ARTICLE: One of the many proofs from the Bible that tells us that the Church will not be here for the time of Jacob’s trouble, and the Mark of the Beast, is that the apostle Paul tells us that once we are saved, we are SEALED by the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption. Paul further tells us in Romans 8 that NOTHING can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus. What a comfort to know we can never lose our salvation! “That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.” Ephesians 1:12-14 (KJV) But in the time of Jacob’s trouble, the great tribulation, people can lose their salvation! That group cannot be the church, it can only apply to people in the time of Jacob’s trouble. What is the unforgivable sin that makes them lose it? Taking the Mark of the Beast and worshipping the Antichrist. God will not forgive that sin for any reason. And just in case you missed it in chapter 14, the Holy Spirit repeats it again in chapter 20. “And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.” Revelation 14:9-11 (KJV) Aren’t you so glad that the Church won’t be here for that?

Chinese Government Begins ‘Sinicization’ Campaign Of Burning Bibles, Forcing Christians To Sign Papers Renouncing Their Faith

September 12, 2018 by IWB

The Chinese government is destroying crosses, burning bibles, closing churches and forcing Christian believers to sign papers renouncing their faith as the crackdown on religious congregations in Beijing and several provinces intensifies. We are not now in the time of Jacob’s trouble, the great tribulation, nor shall the Church ever be, but Christians in China are getting a taste of what Tribulation Saints after the Rapture of the Church will experience. The Chinese government is burning bibles, preventing Internet bible downloads, and closing and burning churches. And in a chilling throwback to what the Catholic Church did to believers in the Spanish Inquisition, the government is forcing Chinese Christians to sign documents renouncing their faith in Jesus Christ, or pay the price. Please pray for all Christians around the world experiencing persecution, but especially for the Christians in China who are at this moment paying a huge price, and for some the ultimate price, for their faith in Jesus Christ. “Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.” Matthew 24:9 (KJV) FROM FOX NEWS: The suppression of religious freedoms is part of an official campaign to “Sinicize” religion by demanding loyalty to the atheist Communist party and removing any potential challenge to the party’s power in the country. “The international community should be alarmed and outraged for this blatant violation of freedom of religion and belief,” Bob Fu of China Aid, said. “The situation for Chinese #Christians becomes more dire by the day. We are working tirelessly to put maximum pressure on China stop the persecution,” Jay Sekulow, President Trump attorney and Chief Counsel at the American Center for Law & Justice (ACLJ), wrote in a tweet. THE REASON CHINESE OFFICIALS ARE BURNING BIBLES (AND DELETING BIBLE DOWNLOADS FROM THE CHINESE INTERNET) IS THAT ONLY THE GOVERNMENT-APPROVED VERSION OF THE BIBLE IS ALLOWED. IN ONE OF THE MORE GROTESQUE ABUSES OF THE “SINICIZATION” PROGRAM, IMAGES OF JESUS HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH PHOTOS OF XI. IN AUGUST, CHINESE POLICE RAIDED A CHRISTIAN SUMMER CAMP, SENT THE TWO PARISH PRIESTS WHO ORGANIZED THE EVENT PACKING, AND REPLACED THEM WITH “STATE-APPROVED PRIESTS.” SOURCE The persecution of Christians in China is nothing new. A report by the watchdog group Freedom House found that Christians and other religious groups in China have been persecuted since 2012, Fox News reported.

It’s not just the US: around the world, doors are shutting on Chinese investment

From Germany to Britain to Canada, other nations have joined the United States in resisting the sale of technology companies to Chinese firms because of security concerns

PUBLISHED : Thursday, 13 September, 2018, 11:57pm UPDATED : Saturday, 15 September, 2018, 9:28am  Jodi Xu Klein, US correspondent

As the United States grew more hostile towards Chinese investment in the country this year by blocking a handful of high-profile deals, many investors and advisers were confident China would find opportunities elsewhere. That confidence has proven premature. China to assess tougher US controls on foreign investments In recent months, Germany, France, Britain, the European Union, Australia, Japan and Canada have all joined an unprecedented global backlash against Chinese capital, citing national security concerns. Dealmakers now wonder whether this dynamic will run its course or should be taken as a new normal. Outside the US, Chinese acquisitions have increasingly run into trouble. In August, the German government for the first time vetoed a Chinese takeover – the nuclear equipment maker Yantai Taihai’s proposed acquisition of Leifeld Metal Spinning, which specialises in manufacturing for Germany’s aerospace and nuclear industries – on national security grounds. In May, Canada blocked a proposed takeover of the construction firm Aecon by a unit of China Communications Construction, also invoking national security reasons. As a result, China’s outbound direct investment dropped globally for the first time since 2002, to US$124.6 billion, from a peak of US$196.15 billion as recently as 2016, according to data compiled by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. “The movement we are seeing around the world is an expression of calls for wariness about Chinese investments, especially in technology,” said Jeremy Zucker, co-head of the international trade practice at the law firm Dechert in Washington. “And it was sharpened and accelerated by the Trump administration.” One big trigger, Zucker said, was China’s public vow to dominate high technology in the next seven years, a programme known as “Made in China 2025”. “When the Western world heard this, it sounded like a declaration of war,” he said. The US has always subjected foreign acquisitions in sensitive industries to tough review. But the present administration has taken it to a new level, and made it a focus in its disputes against China’s trade practices. Shenzhen Energy is latest Chinese firm forced to give up on US acquisition Since Donald Trump became US president in 2017, he has repeatedly described China as an unfair player in trade and his administration has blocked a number of proposed Chinese acquisitions. The hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of deals shot down this year alone on national security concerns included HNA’s bid for Skybridge Capital, a hedge fund founded by Trump’s one-time communications director Anthony Scaramucci; the US$580 million purchase of US semiconductor company Xcerra by a Chinese investment firm backed by state-owned Sino IC Capital; and the US$117 billion takeover of the semiconductor equipment maker Qualcomm by Broadcom, a Singapore-based company with close ties to Beijing. The drop in Chinese investment in the US has been severe. In the first half of this year, Chinese companies invested just US$1.8 billion, a plunge of more than 90 per cent from the year earlier and the lowest level in seven years, according to investment consultancy Rhodium Group. Last month, Trump signed legislation that expanded the powers of the 43-year-old inter-agency Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). Under the new law, the range of deals the committee can review for national security concerns grew to include transactions in which a foreign investment was merely a minority interest, instead of a controlling share; and extended review powers into the real estate sector that previously had not been part of its portfolio. In the legislation, Congress encouraged other countries to adopt CFIUS-like reviews of Chinese investment. Investigation of HNA’s New York offices shows new front in trade war “The wave took off because the US reached out to other governments. That led to other CFIUS-like entities to emerge around the world,” said Mario Mancuso, a US undersecretary of commerce in the George W. Bush administration. From Canada to Mexico to the European Union, other nations are having their own problems dealing with the Trump administration. Even so, governments outside the US are in agreement about what they perceive as the threat from China, which is accused of using investments and merger deals to steal technologies and gain access to sensitive data that could endanger national security. “History repeats itself in a way. During the cold war, there were concerns about the internet. Right now, it’s the fear about technology,” said Christopher Griner, chairman of the national security and CFIUS practice at the Washington office of the Stroock & Stroock & Lavan law firm. Germany started drafting its legislation after a number of high-profile takeovers by Chinese buyers, including a 2016 US$5 billion purchase of Kuka, Germany’s most advanced robotics manufacturer, by Chinese appliance maker Midea. Concerned about China’s growing appetite for its most advanced technologies, Germany last year changed its laws to improve the government’s ability to block acquisitions of stakes as small as 25 per cent stake in “critical infrastructure” industries. Just last month, the Chinese nuclear equipment manufacturer Yantai Taihai dropped its bid for the German metal tool maker Leifeld, a key company for Germany’s nuclear power industry. Berlin had hinted that it was prepared to use its new power to veto takeovers. German spy chief warns of dangers from Chinese hi-tech takeovers “It’s the first time Germany has used its veto power in such a way, and that could have a ‘snowball effect’ across Europe,” a China-based news publication Caixin Global quoted an analyst as saying at the time. Also last year, Germany joined France and Italy in calling for a Europe-wide mechanism for more rigorous review of foreign takeovers. The move was seen as a response to rising worries about transferring so-called dual-use technologies to China through investments. Britain, which was one of the most welcoming nations towards Chinese investment under former prime minister David Cameron, is now following the lead of the US, Germany and France and expanding its regulatory entity into a separate unit, like CFIUS. Britain used to operate under a much looser approach to sensitive deals. Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei, for example, won a key contract with the leading British telecom provider BT 13 years ago. China’s Belt and Road investment model is ‘predatory’, US official says In July, Britain released a National Security and Investment White Paper, which aimed to improve the government’s powers to block foreign acquisitions of British assets that are deemed national security sensitive. Government ministers were frustrated late last year when they failed to block the purchase of British chipmaker Imagination Technologies by Chinese fund Canyon Bridge, which is owned by state-owned Yitai Capital. The deal went through weeks after the Trump administration blocked Canyon from buying the US chip maker Lattice Semiconductor. Under the new proposal, the British government expects to review as many as 50 proposed foreign deals a year for national security concerns. In each of the last two years it reviewed just one. The new proposal also eliminates a previous requirement that a deal involve a target with at least £70 million (US$91 million) in annual revenue to trigger a review. Now the government can effectively review any deal, regardless of the size. In April, a British watchdog agency notified government agencies not to do any further business with the Chinese telecoms equipment maker ZTE, in tandem with the US blocking ZTE from buying American components for seven years. The US wound up retreating from its stand, but there are no indications that Britain has changed its position. As trade tensions between the US and China continue to escalate, with Trump soon to impose tariffs on an additional US$200 billion of Chinese imports, Chinese deals for US tech companies are likely to be harder to come by. And other Western nations no longer provide an easy alternative. “Down the road, Chinese money will probably find a way to come out – and the world knows it needs China money,” said Edward Mermelstein, a foreign investment adviser based in New York. “But right now, protectionism is on the rise and it’s not just in the US.”

ANTIFA Protests To Shut Down Austin Church – THIS IS HAPPENING FOLKS!

By Ray Gano - September 12, 2018

I know that I sound like a broken record, but I have been warning about these domestic terror groups coming after you, coming after me and coming after our churches. I get emails from people telling me that “Oh it can’t happen here in the US, we have laws.” You know what? Our laws are being abused and having communist / Marxist / Socialist hate groups now using them to bring our nation down. This was NOT what our forefathers imagined when they penned “Freedom of Speech.” Last weekend militant LGBTQLMNOP protesters along with the local Antifa cell in Austin gathered in front of Celebration Church, a rather large church in Austin and tried to shut down the service. Not only that, they were demanding that the congregation goers renounce their biblical view of one man + one woman = marriage. This group was using their terrorist ways to condemn the views of the church’s support for proper biblical marriage between one man and one woman. Using Twitter, Facebook and other forms of social media, they organized this protest over a church’s right to maintain their beliefs. Here are just a few quotes… “Members of ANTIFA were joined by a dozen or so other gay rights activists who chanted, waved pride flags and held signs [last] weekend to protest Celebration Church because of its opposition to gay marriage,” PJ Media reported. “The gay rights activists also protested the church’s Sunday morning services at the Austin school district performing arts center in order to criticize the district for renting the facility to Christian ‘homophobes.’”

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

“Happening right now outside of homophobic Celebration Church in #Austin,” Incendiary News tweeted last Sunday. “Masked protesters chanting, ‘Defend our youth from these attacks!’ ‘Pride means fight back!’”

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

"These kids that are gay, lesbian or trans – they end up hating themselves because of the beliefs y’all are spreading!” a masked protester exclaimed, according to Incendiary News. The Stupid Person is The Tool Dietrich Bonhoeffer once stated the following… “Having thus become a mindless tool, the stupid person will also be capable of any evil and at the same time incapable of seeing that it is evil. This is where the danger of diabolical misuse lurks, for it is this that can once and for all destroy human beings.” ― Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Letters and Papers from Prison DBW Vol 8 It will not be the diabolical leader or some brain behind the scenes person, it will be some lowly “stupid person tool” that will be used against us. We see it all the time in many lone wolf scenarios. Sooner or later some of these Antifa members will gain access to a church and shoot it up. I can totally see them dress up in their “Sunday best” bring in some backpacks with weapons and mow a bunch of people down. These are literally brainwashed mind-numb robots. A prime example of this is Richard Reid the shoe bomber – he was the British man who attempted to detonate explosives packed into the shoes he was wearing, while on American Airlines Flight 63 from Paris to Miami. He failed because he could not light the fuse sticking out of his tennis shoes. Knowing that we are dealing with a stupid person is one point that might give us an advantage. See, there are sharp cunning wolves and then there are the stupid ones. If you are situationally alert, a lot of times you can pick that person out. Knowing that these people are just a tool, there are “red flags” that can tip you off to their possible suspicious behavior. But the key is that you MUST be alert to the people in your congregation. Some of the things to look for in a suspicious person are as follows… – They are acting in a nervous manner. – Looking around being un-easy, stressed out. – Profuse sweating or wiping sweat away generally with the same hand / arm over and over again. – “Tunnel Vision, or constantly staring forward in a weird or inappropriate manner. – Inappropriate prayer / repeated prayer, moving the lips mouthing a prayer silently. – Talking to themselves – Getting up and walking out and then coming back in frequently – Inappropriate, oversize, loose-fitting clothes (e.g., a heavy overcoat on a warm day). – Keeping hands in pockets or cupping hands as if they might be holding a trigger device. – They seem to be favoring one side or an area of the body. Are they constantly adjusting some sort of clothing or item under the clothing? Are there sharp angles poking out against the clothing that could be a gun barrel? It has been reported that a person will keep checking an area of their body to make sure that the gun or possibly even a suicide vest is still there and attached properly. – They might carry large packages, stuffed backpacks, purses, large shopping bags that could contain weapons or explosives. – Last and this is a biggie – they do not know how the service is run. They look out of place. They are trying to follow along, but they just do not know the sequence of events for church the service. They do not know when to sit or when to stand or they are working to hard to try to fit in; like overly clapping or not clapping enough, singing to low or to loud, getting the words to the song wrong, etc. These are things that you as the sheepdog and the church security team need to understand, keep in mind, and stay alert for. Finally, pay attention to your gut instinct. If your gut is telling you that someone is not a good person and there is something wrong, you need to not push that aside. You need to pay attention to that and then alert the rest of the church security team. The Need To Have Contingency Plans In Place Now that we know what to look for, we need to now know what to do. First thing that we need to put in place is some sort of security team. Now I know that a lot of churches do not want to deal with this due to liability issues. But what is worse, a team of people saving lives or a church congregation losing 75% of its congregation because some stupid person came in and blew everyone away with an Uzi? Like it or not, these are the real-world issues that we have to deal with being a church congregation. So, if lives are going to be saved, this reality needs to be accepted by the pastor, the staff and put together a realistic security / fast reaction team. Another point, calling the police can help, but it can also create a situation that will cause the stupid person to escalate. The ideal situation is to have law enforcement / ex-military as part of the security team. They have the training to deal with situations like this and an off-duty police officer can make arrests and call in for back up much faster than an average call to 911. Once a team is put together, the need to develop a means of communication is second. I highly recommend solid communication devices like two-way radios along with ear pieces and throat microphones. This is the kind of set up that we used in the military and also, I used this sort of set up when we were on the jump teams with DHS federalizing airports. The advantage of a throat microphone is that you can speak softly, almost whisper like and still be heard by the other team members. Understanding that church budgets are tight, here is an excellent radio that will do the job as well as an excellent throat mic and covert ear piece. Baofeng UV5RA Ham Two Way Radio – http://amzn.to/2hIx1OP  1 X  Flexible Throat Mic Microphone Covert Acoustic Tube Earpiece Headset With Finger Activated Push To Talk Button – http://amzn.to/2hInDus  Together these will run about $40 dollars and to weed out wanna-be security people, make the team purchase these units themselves. This way you know who is dedicated and also if they lose or break the equipment, it is on them. Next you need to have some form of hand and arm signal so in case you cannot talk or use the radio, you can still communicate with your team. Example…  Using two fingers and pointing to your own eyes means “LOOK “ – “SEE” Then pointing towards a suspicious person is telling your team to watch that person. You can signal to assign one of your team to stick with that person by placing your right hand on top of your left hand and then give a subtle shake of the two hands. Using a piece of clothing as a signal is also a good idea. For example, I head up the team at my church and one of my signals is me putting on my baseball cap. That indicates to my team that I am in alert mode and they need to keep an eye on me. This also can be used to alert the pastor in giving him a subtle signal by him seeing that your cap is on. You can also signal the pastor in the same way with two fingers pointing to your eyes and then pointing to the suspicious person. Communicating to the Congregation Something that also needs to be taking into consideration is letting the congregation in on the security team, at least your “core” congregation. For example, maybe there is a suspicious person sitting in the congregation and one of the security team needs to get seated behind them. The congregation needs to know that if one of the security team members comes up and gives them the signal to get up and let them have that seat where they are sitting, not to ask questions, not to act surprised not do anything except to get up and let the security person have that seat. Other situations that need to be addressed is getting out of the building quickly and in an orderly manner. Code words or phrases need to be put in place so that the pastor can give those code words or phrases without raising the suspicion of the suspect. Maybe calling for an impromptu song and having everyone stand to sing a certain song that the congregation knows as a signal to start slowly walking out back row first followed by the subsequent rows… all the time continuing the song as if it is some special religious ordeal that your church conducts. These are just ideas, what you, your pastor and security team need to do is put all these contingency plans in place. Putting Contingency Plans in Place – S.O.P. – Standard Operating Procedure Plans can be ranging from, covering all exits and securing the building – the means to take out a threat if necessary – quickly evacuating the congregation to a per-arranged safe area outside the church building. There are a number of situations that contingency plans need to be discussed and put in place. Once you have these plans, they need to be put in written form and create what is called an S.O.P – Standard Operating Procedure. When you have plans, you can then start doing dry runs with the security team. Practice doing the hand and arm signals that your church comes up with. Stand at different parts of the church building and see if you can communicate with each other via radio and signals. Now, I am not one who likes some sort of uniform but having some sort of “security presence” in place may deter some stupid bad person. In this case, what I find works best is black polo shirt with large yellow type with the word SECURITY across the back, on the left breast and maybe on one of the sleeves. These types of shirts stand out and can be easily seen from a distance. Again, the very fact that you have some burly guy standing in the parking lot or at the front entrance area may be all the deterrent that you need to cause a bad guy to have second thoughts. We need to remember that we are dealing with stupid people. Stupid people also tend to be cowards and may decide that your church may be too much of a “hardened” target to get away with his / her dastardly plan. Security Polo Shirt Black with Gold Letters – http://amzn.to/2i1cBni  Weaponizing The Security Team This is the area where things get a little “sticky.” There are different laws stating what weapons can be in churches. In Texas for example it is allowed to carry in a church unless the church has posted a 30-06 sign prohibiting people from carrying concealed in a church. One can also carry pretty much any weapon they wish in a church, again being discreet. I doubt that you can carry your battle-ready katana (Samurai sword) in the church without pastor’s permission. With that said, I lean more towards non-lethal in a church congregation setting. This way you do not have to worry about bullet trajectory and pass through.  Weapons I Promote For Security Teams Police Grade Pepper Foam & Gel – This is the first weapon I would recommend the security team carrying. SABRE Red Pepper Foam is an excellent solution. It is inexpensive enough where you can purchase 2-3 cans so that you place some in areas ready to use like at the sound board, usher’s station, etc. NOW… why foam? If you are outdoors and there is a slight breeze, you will not have the liquid pepper spray blow back in your direction. Second, the foam is sticky and when it makes contact it instantly melts. This has about an 8 – 10-foot range and can spray multiple targets with this foam. Another point is that if you are in a close quarter like in church you will not have “mist” floating around that might get in some of the congregations eyes. This is a product that has good control factor. SABRE Pepper Foam – http://amzn.to/2fovQYi  Another solution and something that will give you more distance between you and the thugs is SABRE Pepper Gel. Like the foam, the gel sprays and does not blow back if there is a breeze going. Also, because it is a gel, it will shoot further than the foam and has a range of 18 feet. Another plus with this is that SABRE includes a belt holster that you can wear and always be prepared. Like the foam, it has good control factor and will not have liquid mist floating in the air. SABRE Pepper Gel – http://amzn.to/2i3yKBj  Cold Steel Ti-Lite Zytel 6” – I have written about this knife in some of my other articles. This is probably my #1 go to fighting weapon / knife. PRO – I like that you can carry this in your hand and it doubles as a kubaton. It is large enough to really do some damage without even deploying the knife. This can be used to control a person sitting in a pew by applying pressure techniques used with the kubaton. PRO – The quillion, the little hook at the base of the knife blade, also is a very mean weapon in and of itself, The rough thumb grooves on the quillion will do damage if you use this as a kubaton. You can hook a chin, rip an eye, do a number of kubaton moves where the quillion will do some major extra damage. PRO – You can deploy the knife as it is pulled out of the pocket by “snagging” the quillion on the pocket edge. This is a move that needs to be practiced as well, but you will have a great tactical advantage just taking the knife out of your pocket and it deploying as you remove it. PRO – With some practice, you can learn to flick open this knife one handed. So, if you are using it in a kubaton style, it is nothing to flick it in the process of a swing or block and deploy the 6” razor sharp blade. NOTE – this knife is literally a “pocket sword” it is a good 13 inches long and will give you some good distance between you and the attacker. Because this is such a large knife, check your local laws to make sure it is carry-legal. PRO – Cost – ON SALE – $48.88 w/ free shipping Cold Steel Ti-Lite 6″ – http://tinyurl.com/pz-cs-ti-lite -6inch Streetwise POLICE FORCE 9,200,000 Volt TACTICAL Stun Gun Flashlight – This is a great stun gun. It is smaller in diameter, so it is easily concealed and also made to look like a flashlight. It small enough to conceal and keep in the hand without it being obvious that you have a stun gun in your hand. So it is an excellent weapon that you can carry deployed in church and people will not take much notice of it. Another great point about this stun gun is that it fits a church budget. It runs around $25 – $30 dollars and at this price, a church can purchase several of these so that each member of the security team is armed as well as keeping extras at the sound board, usher’s station, welcome booth, etc. This also has a good lanyard on it so that if you do lose your grip, it will not fall to the ground and you can easily bring it back into your hand. PRO – Slim, small and easily concealed PRO – 9,000,000 volts and rechargeable – that is a lot of volts you will send through a person Streetwise POLICE FORCE 9,200,000 Volt TACTICAL Stun Gun – http://tinyurl.com/PZ-Streetwise-Stun-Light  There are other weapons that you and your team can look into like collapsible batons, fighting sticks, saps, ect. The negative is that with some of these weapons, you need to check your local laws in using them. Weapons like the collapsible baton are against the law to use in many states. You, your pastor and your team also need to discuss the use of firearms in the church. If you do have an active threat and the individual is using a firearm, then some of the team members need to have handguns at the ready and be trained in this sort of situation. In fact, it is critical that security teams get solid weapons training and maintain that training. Conduct training in the church building, around the building and in the church parking lots so that the team is familiar and comfortable with the church grounds environment. Try to come up with viable situations that a bad guy would perform and train for those different situations. Take turns being the bad guy and giving the team different scenarios. Conclusion Like it or not, people wishing to do harm to the church is a reality more so today that in the past years. We have enemies that have come out publicly stating that they wish to do us harm and kill us. We must take these threats seriously and not bury our heads in the sand thinking that “it can’t happen to us.” Predators take advantage of people where they have opened themselves up to being targets. The key is to not allow ourselves to be these open targets. Paul stated that in the last days we will live in perilous times. Well, those times are here and groups of people have stated with extreme bias that they hate Christians and Jews the world over and to see us wiped off the face of the earth would make them very happy. The hope is that we will never have to rely on our security teams to act. But we need to take precautions, prepare, have plans and security teams in place and be ready. To do nothing, especially in this anti-Christian environment that we are living in is foolish and a church is just asking to become a target rich environment for the stupid person hell bent on destruction. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am more than willing to help any way I can, including coming to your church, assessing the situation and helping you with a team and help train them.

DEEP STATE: John Kerry Held Meetings With Iran – Advised Them To ‘Wait Out’ Trump Presidency

by Aleister September 13, 2018

Former secretary of state and failed Democrat presidential candidate John Kerry has been trying to salvage Obama’s awful Iran Deal – by going around the Trump administration and holding meetings with Iran. Who elected Kerry? Former Secretary of State John Kerry is being slammed for conducting shadow diplomacy with Iran after admitting to multiple meetings with Iranian officials behind the backs of the Trump administration — including over the scrapped nuclear deal. An administration official on Thursday told Fox News Kerry’s meetings are “shameful,” pointing out what Iranian-backed militias are doing to kill and injure people in Syria, Iraq and Yemen. Other Republicans suggested it may not even be legal. “John Kerry is out giving advice to Iran about how to maneuver around what Donald Trump is doing, it’s insidious,” Ari Fleischer, the former White House press secretary for George W. Bush, said Wednesday on Fox News’s “Special Report.” “I don’t know if it’s legal or illegal, I don’t care about that side of it. It’s wrong.”… Later Wednesday, during an appearance on Fox News’ “The Daily Briefing with Dana Perino,” Kerry did not deny the suggestion he’s telling the Iranians to wait out Trump until there is a Democratic president again. “I think everybody in the world is talking about waiting out President Trump,” said Kerry, who ran unsuccessfully for president in 2004 and who has not ruled out a 2020 bid. As Ari Fleischer points out in the video below, Kerry had no business doing this: Michael Rubin of the Washington Examiner says Kerry deserves jail for this: John Kerry deserves jail for secret Iran diplomacy In a radio interview with Hugh Hewitt, former Secretary of State John Kerry admitted that he’s been working behind-the-scenes to salvage the Iran nuclear deal. “What I have done is tried to elicit from him what Iran might be willing to do in order to change the dynamic in the Middle East for the better,” he explained. Kerry’s backchannel with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif has not been a one-time deal. “I think I’ve seen him three or four times,” Kerry said, and acknowledged that his talks were occurring without the Trump administration’s approval Perhaps Kerry believes he is not violating the Logan Act of 1799 which states that: “Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.” What would have happened if someone from the Bush administration decided to go around Obama in this way while he was president?

Watch Out President Trump! The Globalists Are Trying To Get You To Make The Same Mistakes Bush And Obama Made! And Nothing Less Than 'Judgement Day' May Await The Wrong Decision

- America's 'New Reality': 'MAD' Is No Longer Mutual - America Is Now 'Unilaterally Vulnerable To Nuclear Destruction' Should War Break Out With Russia

By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die September 12, 2018

With talk of war again now in Syria making the rounds this September with some believing that the globalists who've long been pushing for a war with Syria that could lead to a war with Russia will bait President Trump into making the same mistakes that Barack Obama and George Bush made, we thought we'd take a look within this ANP story at the 'new reality' that President Trump and America face that should be heavily considered before entering into such a war: MAD, aka 'Mutually Assured Destruction', is no longer 'mutual'. As Dr. Peter Vincent Pry reported on ANP back on March 14th, thanks to 8 years of the policies of Barack Obama, America is now unilaterally vulnerable to nuclear destruction with Russia's new breed of hypersonic nuclear doomsday weapons vastly superior to anything that America now has. As Yahoo News reported back in March as well, according to Republican Senator James Inhofe, "right now, we're helpless" against Russia's new hypersonic nuclear missiles. And even US General John Hyten, Commander of the U.S. Strategic Command, claimed back in March: “We don’t have any defense that could deny the employment of such a weapon against us, so our response would be our deterrent force, which would be the triad and the nuclear capabilities that we have to respond to such a threat.” As Dr. Pry had warned in his story, thanks to Obama's New START program, America's nuclear deterrence was weakened while Russia ditched 'quantity' in favor of 'quality' and created vastly superior nuclear weapons such as their RS-28 Sarmat aka 'Satan 2' as well as the POSEIDON underwater nuclear drone submarine which Dr. Pry reported in this June 24th ANP story will be armed with a monster-sized 100-megaton nuclear warhead. As Dr. Pry reported in that story: On March 1, Putin described several of Russia’s new nuclear super-weapons. Among the strangest and most impressive is POSEIDON. POSEIDON is a big "artificially intelligent" torpedo reportedly armed with a monster 100-megaton nuclear warhead — by far, the biggest H-bomb ever built. We are told POSEIDON’s mission is to raise tsunamis to flood U.S. coastal cities, leaving uninhabitable radioactive wastelands. Russia’s doomsday bomb is real. So, unless President Trump wants to leave as his legacy the nuclear destruction of America, why in the world would he be pushing for a war with Syria that could quickly lead to a war with Russia? As former US Presidential candidate Patrick Buchanan recently reported, war with Syria and Russia would be a win for the 'never-Trumpers' and exactly the opposite of what then-candidate-Trump had promised. And while there may be some or even many within his administration who are pushing him in that direction, as we see detailed below, dating back many years, even into the Obama administration, we've had 'September scares' and attacks upon Syria. Why do the globalits hate Syria so? As we hear in the 1st video below on Real.Video from 'Syrian Girl', there are many different reasons that the nwo HATES Syria and sadly, many innocent Syrian people have suffered because of that hatred. Not to mention the people of Europe who have had vast numbers of Syrian refugees pour in. And as videographer 'Wife With A Purpose' tells us in the 2nd video below, the attacks upon Syria are really attacks upon Christianity and freedom with the globalists having fully embraced a luciferian, totalitarian philosophy. So let's take a quick look back at past September events in Syria and as we see in this story, there have been Syria scares and false flag attacks in the month of September going back at least to 2013, when a team of UN inspectors allegedly found that the nerve gas sarin was used. What many have called a 'false flag'. In the month of September of 2014, Barack Obama launched air strikes against alleged ISIS stronghold's in Syria. Yet we all remember, Obama was also arming ISIS. Again in the month of September of 2015, Russia joined in by launching their first airstrikes upon ISIS while in 2016, the US 'mistakenly' hit the Syrian army, killing 62 and injuring about 100 others. And while September of 2017 saw Syria taking back even more land from ISIS, if we fast forward one year to September of 2018, we find that Russia has warned the entire world that there may soon be a staged chemical weapons attack in Syria, with Nikki Haley recently warning Russia and Iran of serious consequences should they continue airstrikes upon the last rebel-held area in Syria. And should the globalists who hate President Trump and America and hate Christians be successful at convincing Trump to go to war in Syria, a war that leads to Russia entering and attacking the United States, we should remember what former Ronald Reagan cabinet member Paul Craig Roberts has warned - that such a war will surely lead to America's total destruction. As Roberts warned back on October 24th of 2016, just weeks before the election, Russia's new nuclear weapons could wipe out the entire East coast of America in one swipe! From Roberts: “The atomic bombs that Washington dropped on these helpless civilian centres while the Japanese government was trying to surrender, were mere popguns compared to today’s thermo-nuclear weapons. “One Russian SS-18 wipes out three-quarters of New York state for thousands of years." “Five or six of these ‘Satans’ as they are known by the US military, and the East Coast of the United States disappears.” And from this May of 2016 story over at Club Orlov written by a number of Russian's living within the United States we got this very important warning about what America might look like following war with Russia. A long time ago Russia had to respond to provocations by fighting land battles on her own territory, then launching a counter-invasion; but this is no longer necessary. Russia’s new weapons make retaliation instant, undetectable, unstoppable and perfectly lethal. Thus, if tomorrow a war were to break out between the US and Russia, it is guaranteed that the US would be obliterated. At a minimum, there would no longer be an electric grid, no internet, no oil and gas pipelines, no interstate highway system, no air transportation or GPS-based navigation. Financial centers would lie in ruins. Government at every level would cease to function. US armed forces, stationed all around the globe, would no longer be resupplied. At a maximum, the entire landmass of the US would be covered by a layer of radioactive ash. We tell you this not to be alarmist, but because, based on everything we know, we are ourselves alarmed. If attacked, Russia will not back down; she will retaliate, and she will utterly annihilate the United States. September 12, 2018 Watch Out President Trump! The Globalists Are Trying To Get You To Make The Same Mistakes Bush And Obama Made! And Nothing Less Than 'Judgement Day' May Await The Wrong Decision - America's 'New Reality': 'MAD' Is No Longer Mutual - America Is Now 'Unilaterally Vulnerable To Nuclear Destruction' Should War Break Out With Russia what_globalists_think.jpg

If attacked, Russia will not back down; she will retaliate, and she will utterly annihilate the United States. russia_china_war_games.jpg So why would anybody WANT a war between the US and Russia unless they also WANT the destruction of America and much of the world? We remind you that 'Apocalyptic Islam' actually WANTS a nuclear apocalypse to bring in their satanic, anti-Christ mahdi to the world. And as Paul Craig Roberts reports in this brand new story, nothing less than 'Armageddon' rides in the balance should somehow those pushing for war with a country that can destroy us get their way. Warning within his story that because of their hatred for President Trump, much of the left has aligned themselves with the forces of evil and war that are pushing for war with Russia, Roberts warns us "the world should be scared to death of the recklessness and irresponsibility of the US government", or at least those insanely pushing for conflict with a nation that could almost instantaneously wipe America off of the map. According to this new story over at The Express titled "World War 3 Warning: Russia And China Conduct Largest Ever War Games In Threat To West", the gargantuan drills in eastern Siberia are meant to test the combat readiness of the 300,000+ troops who'll be participating, yet as we asked on ANP back on September 1st, are these massive war games really in preparation for China and Russia going to war against the US and NATO? With Patrick Buchanan also recently asking "Is Trump Going Neocon In Syria?" at a time when Zero Hedge reports that the staged filming of false flag chemical attacks had begun in Idlib, Syria, we pray that President Trump was sincere when he said "Peace is the prize". For we shudder to think of the alternative.

“I’ve Never Seen Anything Like This”: Meteorologists Expect Florence To Stall And Hammer The East Coast “For Days”

The bizarre story of Hurricane Florence just keeps becoming even more strange. The good news is that meteorologists are telling us that the storm is expected to lose intensity as it approaches the east coast, but the really, really bad news is that it is now being projected that Florence will slow down and finally stall just off the coastline. In a worst-case scenario, the Carolinas and Georgia could be pounded with wind and rain “for days”, and some areas of North Carolina could end up being buried under nine feet of water. And even though the peak wind speed of Florence has diminished some, the storm just continues to expand in size. That means that it will ultimately hit a larger portion of the east coast than originally anticipated, and the overall economic cost will also ultimately be worse than the experts were forecasting. The word “unprecedented” is being used a lot in conjunction with this storm. It is behaving in ways that it shouldn’t be, and this “strange stall” along the east coast is absolutely baffling the experts. While discussing this “stall”, Weather Channel meteorologist Greg Postel stated that he had “never seen anything like this”… The weird saga of Hurricane Florence, which has already carved an unprecedented path across the Atlantic, is forecast to persist with a strange stall and trek along the Southeast coast. Instead of roaring ashore and quickly heading inland and weakening, as most storms do, Hurricane Florence should instead “stall near the coast and then parallel southwestward toward Georgia,” Weather Channel meteorologist Greg Postel said. “I’ve never seen anything like this.” And don’t let the fact that Hurricane Florence has been downgraded from a Category 4 storm fool you. The wind speed may be down a bit, but the storm just keeps getting larger, and on Wednesday it was producing waves that were up to 83 feet tall. If this storm really does stall off of the Carolina coastline, the devastation will be off the charts. The following comes from CNN… Florence’s predicted slow southward turn on Friday would mean some coastal areas could get damaging hurricane-force winds for more than 24 hours. “If this blows at 120 mph for four hours, … you lose a shingle every two minutes, and all of the sudden, you’ve lost your whole roof after four hours,” CNN meteorologist Chad Myers said. In addition to extreme wind damage, we could also see unprecedented rainfall totals and flooding… While it sits and spins, the heavy rain Florence unleashes will lead to “catastrophic” and “life-threatening” flooding in the Carolinas. Widespread reports of 20 to 30 inches of rain are likely, and some spots could see 40 inches. As if that weren’t enough “isolated tornadoes will become a threat Thursday along the North Carolina coast,” the National Weather Service in Wilmington said. Could you imagine getting 40 inches of rain in a 24 hour period? And what will things look like if Hurricane Florence decides to stall for an extended period of time and stay roughly in one place for several days? We don’t know exactly what the storm will do following the “stall”, but what we do know is that the damage from this storm will be immense. In fact, one FEMA official is warning that power could be knocked out for many people in the danger area for “weeks”… “This one really scares me,” National Hurricane Center Director Ken Graham told CBS. “This storm is going to knock out power days into weeks. It’s going to destroy infrastructure. It’s going to destroy homes,” said Jeff Byard, an official at the Federal Emergency Management Agency. If you live in the path of this storm, hopefully you have evacuated already. If you haven’t evacuated, hopefully you have stocked up on supplies, because most of the stores have already been completely cleaned out. At this point, even gasoline is in very short supply… Michelle Stober loaded up valuables on Tuesday at her home on Wrightsville Beach to drive back to her primary residence in Cary, North Carolina. Finding fuel for the journey was tough. “This morning I drove around for an hour looking for gas in Cary. Everyone was sold out,” she said. And remember, this is just a temporary emergency. Eventually this storm will pass and the region will begin to recover. In the event of an even worse emergency that is more long-term in nature, what will you do when all of the supplies are gone and the stores aren’t going to get anything else for the foreseeable future? On another note, many have found it very interesting that federal officials held a major exercise in which they simulated a Category 4 hurricane slamming into the Mid-Atlantic region back in late April and early May. Representatives from 91 different federal departments and agencies took part in this exercise, and the results of the exercise were quite alarming… Just months ago, disaster planners simulated a Category 4 hurricane strike alarmingly similar to the real-world scenario now unfolding on a dangerously vulnerable stretch of the East Coast. A fictional ‘Hurricane Cora’ barreled into southeast Virginia and up the Chesapeake Bay to strike Washington, D.C., in the narrative created by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and Argonne National Laboratory. The result was catastrophic damage, which has some experts concerned that Hurricane Florence could produce a disaster comparable to 2005’s Hurricane Katrina and in a part of the country that is famously difficult to evacuate. It is important to remember that Hurricane Katrina was only a Category 3 hurricane when it finally made landfall. But it was such a massive storm that it absolutely overwhelmed New Orleans. We could be facing a similar scenario this time around. Hurricane Florence may only be a Category 2 or a Category 3 hurricane when it finally makes landfall, but it looks like it is going to do an unprecedented amount of damage. So please be in prayer for those living along the Mid-Atlantic coast, because this may end up being the worst storm that they have ever experienced.

US destroyer arrives in Mediterranean as Syria tensions rise

Published time: 13 Sep, 2018 02:16 Edited time: 13 Sep, 2018 14:01

With the arrival of another guided missile destroyer to the Mediterranean, the US may have 200 ‘Tomahawks’ ready for a strike on Syria, as Russia warns that jihadist groups in Idlib are planning a fake chemical attack. The USS Bulkeley (DDG-84), an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, entered the Mediterranean through the Straits of Gibraltar on Wednesday, the Russian news agency Interfax reported citing international maritime monitoring data. A Gibraltar-watcher confirmed the destroyer’s transit on September 12. With the arrival of the Bulkeley, the US forces in the region have up to 200 ‘Tomahawk’ cruise missiles available to strike targets in Syria if ordered to do so, Interfax reported. Last week, the attack submarine USS Newport News (SSN-750) arrived in the Mediterranean as well. Last week, Russia conducted massive naval maneuvers off the Syrian coast, culminating in marine landing drills and missile launches. The presence of Russian ships in the area was seen as a possible deterrent to further US military action against Syria. Washington has repeatedly claimed that the government in Damascus is preparing chemical attacks against civilians in the Idlib province, the last remaining bastion of jihadist rebel groups. The most powerful of these groups is Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), formerly known as Jabhat al-Nusra; it is an affiliate of Al-Qaeda, the terrorist organization the US holds responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001. The White Helmets, a self-proclaimed civil defense group that operates solely in rebel-held areas, also have a presence in Idlib. Russia has accused the White Helmets of staging a chemical attack in Idlib in order to provoke a Western military intervention in Syria. The group has already filmed at least nine videos intended to serve as evidence of claims that Damascus has used chlorine against civilians in Idlib, the Russian Reconciliation Center in Syria said on Wednesday.

Washington's Choice: WWIII Or Saving Face In Syria

by Tyler Durden Wed, 09/12/2018 - 21:05

Authored by Tom Luongo via The Strategic Culture Foundation,

Sometimes when I step back from the overwhelming flow of geopolitical insanity I’m reminded of the old adage that coming close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. To which, I always add, “And nuclear war.” I’ve been watching the build up to the operation to liberate Idlib in Syria which includes the endless neocon and Israeli moral preening warning Assad against using chemical weapons with a sense of detachment. And I keep thinking to myself, “Do they really think we’re that stupid?Three times the chemical weapons canard has been used to justify further aggression against Syria and three times a full-blown U.S. invasion has been averted. First by Vladimir Putin’s deft diplomacy and General Dunford’s refusal to implement a ‘no-fly zone’ in 2013 and then during the Trump years with ineffectual air strikes on Syrian airbases. How much of that ineffectuality of those airstrikes were designed by Defense Secretary James Mattis to avoid a wider conflagration and how much was Russian EW/missile defense is anyone’s guess. The truth most likely lies somewhere in the middle. That is why everyone who is worrying about the U.S.’s blustering over Syria’s Idlib campaign needs to take a big step back and think the scenario through. Because the neoconservatives and Israel are forcing the situation to its crisis point, thinking they can manipulate the headlines and the levers of power to still eke out a victory in Syria that will allow them to continue on their quest to destroy Russia first and conquer the rest of Asia after that. And they are willing to blackmail us with the threat of WWIII over 50,000 head-chopping mercenaries to get their cookie. However, when you factor in the men actually in charge of the U.S. military chain of command, Trump and Mattis, and you realize the lengths to which Mattis’ field commanders have gone to avoid direct confrontation with Russian forces, you come to the conclusion that the men who will actually fight this war the neoconservative provocateurs and laptop bombardiers are clamoring for won’t actually pull the trigger. The reasons for this are manifest. First, the potential for the conflict to go nuclear is too high for rational men to take that chance. Mattis and Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu are hard-bitten, no-nonsense men. Neither underestimates the other’s resolve to defend their men and national interests. So, once the shooting starts expect it to get ugly quick. Therefore it is unlikely to get to that point. Second, there is no profit in that kind of escalation for the people who profit from war. The banks and the military weapons makers thrive in low-intensity, frozen conflicts which keep sales flowing and governments indebted to pay for them. In an age of nuclear weapons, proxy wars fought by mercenaries with drones are far more profitable than any large-scale invasions. I hate to say this but from a discounted cash flow perspective Lockheed-Martin wants predictability to cover their quarterly dividends to shareholders more than they want to bring about the supposed Zionist plan for Greater Israel. Sorry to burst everyone’s conspiracy theories. Third and most importantly, the U.S. cannot afford a non-nuclear confrontation with Russia that punctures the illusion of U.S. military superiority. Too much of the world’s confidence in the dollar itself rests in the U.S.’s ability to project power and defend its interests militarily. This confidence is a mixture of that military capability and the U.S.’s traditional position of a country with an excellent legal framework within which to do business. It is fashionable among geopolitical critics, myself included, to get caught up in the rhetoric and projection of a sclerotic and weakening United States, but legally it is still one of the best places on earth to do business. But, as Martin Armstrong pointed out recently, Trump’s domestic opposition has openly declared sedition against him this week in the New York Times. Former Secretary of State, John Kerry, is doing the talk show circuit calling for a constitutional crisis over Trump allegedly being unfit for office. And George Soros is paying protesters to disrupt the confirmation hearing of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. If allowed to run its course to impeachment in the event of the Republicans losing control of the House in November, this would be a death blow to the U.S.’s reputation as a nation of laws rather than a nation of men. The U.S. dollar would not recover from such a blow to its credibility, especially in light of Trump’s nearly-unhinged use of sanctions and threats of tariffs, weaponizing the dollar indiscriminately. And this is why Vladimir Putin openly showed his hand to the world in March. Strategically, he let everyone know that any confrontation between Russia and the U.S. would result in the U.S losing its status as the world’s pre-eminent military power. This is why the neocons and the U.S./U.K. Deep State have been so adamant in accelerating its provocations against Russia. They have to present us with the Faustian bargain of WWIII before Russia has these weapon systems fully deployed.  It’s also why Trump and Mattis are allowing them to have their head. It feeds Trump’s “Art of the Deal” strategy for negotiations while also allowing him the opportunity to save face after Idlib is liberated regardless of whether another chemical weapons attack is staged. I think we won’t see one here. The way out of Syria for the U.S. with its face-saved is to thunder and bluster, threaten fire and brimstone just like Trump did with Kim Jong-un and use that to explain why Assad showed restraint and didn’t use chemical weapons this time. I can even see Trump tweeting something about three strikes and he would be out. Once Idlib is liberated Mattis will happily begin pulling vulnerable troops out of al-Tanf and Afghanistan. That’s why I believe he went there to the surprise of the CIA house-organ Washington Post last week. And then the neocon and Israeli muddying of the waters will move to the Geneva talks, but we’ll cross that Rubicon when it approaches.

Sen Richard Black Claims that British Intelligence Is Preparing to Stage Another Syrian False Flag Attack

By Dave Hodges

In increasing numbers, the number of Americans that have habituated on the increasing volume of false flag attacks has increased exponentially. Even some of the politicians are beginning to “get it”. What was it that Abraham Lincoln said about not being able to fool all the people all the time?  The Last Time There Was a False Flag In Syria In a ground-breaking speech before the Virginia Senate on April 11, 2018, Sen. Richard H. Black (R-Loudoun) said he doubted whether a chemical attack occurred in Syria on April 7, 2018. This speech took place in the Virginia General Assembly. “It is not entirely clear that there was an attack,” Sen. Richard H. Black (R-Loudoun) said in a 20-minute speech on the floor of Virginia Senate on Wednesday. “There was a doctor, from the hospital — from the main hospital in Douma — who has said, ‘We haven’t received any casualties. Nobody has been sent in.’ ” Was State Senator Richard Black correct? Well, somebody at Fox News thought so. After airing his thoughts on the April false flag attack, Tucker Carlson, without explanation, disappeared for several days. He did not get the memo, even Fox News cannot use the words “False” and “Flag” in the same sentence. After all, no reasonable person would believe that anybody (say…like Hitler) would ever dare to perpetrate violence (Reichstag Fire) and blame an enemy (the Communists), for political gain (the take over of the German government). From The Common Sense Show (April 2018): Since airing his very scathing condemnation of the false flag Syrian chemical attack, in which Carlson makes it clear it was a false flag attack, he has not been heard from. Will he be back on this show on Monday, April 23? Is he fired? Has he just been “talked to”? Carlson has not tweeted since April 12. Is he still alive? The CSS is concerned for the safety of Tucker Carlson. There is one thing we can count on. He definitely got a good scolding for stating that it made no sense for Assad to attack his own people with chemical agents. Will Carlson return tomorrow? You can bet there will be no more talk about false flag events on the Fox News Propaganda channel. Eventually, Carlson did return to the Fox air waves, but there was no more talk of a false flag attack. Unnfortunately, for the globalists, Assad’s government was not toppledIf At First You Don’t Succeed, Try, Try Again! With increasing rapidity, led by CNN, the mainstream media is increasingly warning of a false flag. Is the MSM engaging in the reading of crystal balls, or is this a case of predictive programming? The question has been answered as Senator Richard Black claims that British Intelligence is planning to launch a vicious false flag attack in Syria in order to justify the toppling of Assad’s government by the United States. From the most “trusted” newspaper in America, The Washington Post: Fresh off a sit-down with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Virginia state Sen. Richard H. Black turned up on an Arab TV channel last week making an extraordinary claim about one of the United States’ closest allies. Black said Britain’s MI6 intelligence service was planning a chemical weapons attack on the Syrian people, which it would then blame on Assad. Black is correct. I interviewed ex-CIA clandestine senior officer, Robert David Steele, and he stated very clearly on The Common Sense Show, the McMasters, Brennan and McCain were the masterminds behind the false flag attack on Syria in April of 2018. From Mr. Steele: “We do now know (I did not know this at the time the below video was recorded and I have no link for this, it comes to me from an inside source) that former CIA Director John Brennan plotted this false flag attack, which may have involved some real sarin allegedly destroyed during the Obama Administration, with Senator John McCain and National Security Advisor Herbert McMaster…” History would say that a gigantic false flag is coming to Syria in the near future. Syria and Iran must go for the Petrodollar to survive. And if Trump oversees the decline of the dollar, his economic programs will go up in smoke. In my opinion, this is how Trump is being manipulated to go along with the impending false flag event which will lead to war. And if we are not careful, it could lead to World War III with the Russians.

Hurricane Florence makes landfall: Police chief predicts 'biblical proportion flood'

By DANIEL MANZO Emily Shapiro Sep 14, 2018, 10:17 AM ET

Hurricane Florence is pummeling the North Carolina coastline, making landfall with life-threatening storm surges and wind gusts at or above 100 mph in some areas. Wilmington, North Carolina, was hit Friday morning by a 105 mph wind gust, the strongest wind in the city since 1958. "I see a biblical proportion flood event that's going to occur," Wilmington Police Chief Ralph Evangelous told ABC News. "I see the beach communities being inundated with water and destruction that will be pretty, pretty epic in nature." Here's the latest: More than 475,000 customers in North Carolina are without power early Friday as residents face the impacts of the Category 1 storm. Catastrophic flooding is expected for much of the coastal Carolinas. Rainfall has already reached as many as 2 inches per hour in parts of eastern North Carolina. More than 30 inches of rain has fallen in Atlantic Beach, North Carolina, according to the U.S Geological Survey. If confirmed by the National Weather Service, this number would break the state record for rainfall from a tropical cyclone. In Bayboro, North Carolina, one of the areas under evacuation, resident Kim Dunn stayed behind, and now she's trapped in her truck surrounded by rising water. Her boyfriend and his cousin are stranded on a paddle boat less than a mile away. The water is as high as street signs, and "we have no way to get to them," Dunn told ABC News Friday morning. "They've been out there for about six hours now just screaming for help," she said. "Only communication we have with them is just me flashing my lights to them and I think they have a flashlight they're flickering back to us." Dunn, the mother of a 10-month-old, a 3-year-old and an 8-year-old, said she made a decision to stay behind while others fled. "We were trying to figure out if we had enough finances to get out and if we were to get out, were we going to be able to get back home. So we made a decision to stay," she said. "I don't know how long it's going to be before the water actually starts to come into the apartment." (MORE: How to help those impacted by Hurricane Florence) In nearby New Bern, where water levels reached 10 feet overnight, 150 people have requested a rescue. Volunteers are using private boats to pitch in and help, city spokeswoman Colleen Roberts said. The downtown area, at the confluence of two rivers, is mostly underwater. New Bern resident George Zaytoun chose not to evacuate and is trapped inside his home. “It’s like a bomb has gone off,” Zaytoun told "Good Morning America" Friday. “Everything around us is underwater.” Zaytoun said he regrets not evacuating. ," he said of his community. FlorWhen Florence was downgraded from a Category 4 to a 2, “I think we kind of let our guards down Florence "is twice the size of Hurricane Hugo," which tore through the Carolinas in 1989, New Bern Mayor Dana Outlaw told "GMA." Trapped residents should move to their second story or attic to await rescue, the city advised. "As soon as it is safe, first responders will make sure they go and rescue people who need to be saved from this storm," North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper told ABC News Friday. Some people were arrested for breaking into cars as Hurricane Florence approached North Carolina Thursday night, Brunswick County Sheriff John Ingram told ABC Wilmington affiliate WWAY-TV. "If you seek to prey upon the citizens of Brunswick County, we're going to do everything we can to lock you up," Ingram warned. "I made sure ahead of time that we had adequate space for anybody that wanted to try that." The rainfall is forecast to reach up to 40 inches over the next several days. Storm surge could be as high as 11 feet in parts of North Carolina, prompting officials to closely watch the rise of rivers in the eastern part of the state. River flooding may be worse than Hurricane Floyd in 1999. The Cape Fear River is expected to be at major flood stage by Sunday and record flood stage by Monday. ABC News' Max Golembo, Sam Wnek, Alex Faul, Kelly McCarthy, Morgan Winsor, Nick Coulson and Kieran Mcgirl contributed to this report.

'Massacre of Innocent Christian Civilians': Al Qaeda Attack Kills Women and Children

09-13-2018 Kayla Root

Al-Qaeda-linked rebels recently targeted a mostly Christian town in Syria, firing missiles and killing at least 10 people.  Al-Masdar News reported, the jihadist rebels launched the attack last week in response to a large scale buildup of Syrian army troops in northwest Syria. The bombings killed mostly women and children, and severely wounded at least 20 other unarmed civilians. Related Two Churches Attacked in Syria: Crosses Broken and al Qaeda Flags Raised Syrian Church Destroyed, Christians Killed and Abducted According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights those killed included a mother, her 3 children, their grandmother, as well as 2 other sisters and 3 other people. "The massacre of innocent Christian civilians, including children, in Mhardeh is a tragedy of great proportions," Claire Evans, regional manager with the International Christian Concern, wrote on their website. "The carnage of Syria's civil war has left Christians disproportionately affected, as they have been violently targeted by all sides and factions. As the Syrian war enters what is expected to be the deadliest conflict yet, we must keep the Christians who are trapped in the region in our prayers." Opposition-run Shaam News Network reported a publication loyal to the regime posted images of the remnants of cluster bombs. Those are internationally banned and they were carried by the missiles that hit the city. The network noted these types of missiles are owned only by the Assad forces. Reports say the town is a prime target for groups like Hay'at Tahrir Al-Sham and the Free Syrian Army (FSA) due its close proximity to the jihadist-filled surrounding towns. "All we can do now is to pray," a local resident told the Norwegian newspaper Dagen. "The only thing we feel is grief. Please pray for us."

1 dead, at least 10 injured in Merrimack Valley gas disaster

The Eagle-Tribune 3 hrs ago 7:18 A.M

Officials said it will be at least a day if not longer before many residents will be allowed to return to their homes.  18,000 homes in Merrimack Valley still without power after explosions, fires; residents told to stay away 11 P.M. According to the District Attorney's office, one person has died. A chimney fell on Leonel Robson, 18, while he sat in his car in his driveway at 35 Chickering Road in Lawrence. At least 10 others were injured. No word on their conditions at this time. 9:34 P.M. Officials have announced that schools are closed tomorrow in Andover, Lawrence and North Andover. There is no information yet about when power will be restored to the area, nor is there information about a timeline for schools to reopening.  8:13 P.M. In Andover, all fires have been extinguished, where a total of 35 fires were reported. At the peak of the emergency, 18 fires were burning at the same time, according to town officials. At least three people have been injured in Andover, including one firefighter and two civilians.  Andover, North Andover, Lawrence schools cancel classes in wake of gas fires Residents and businesses were told to evacuate and remain away from their homes and buildings until officials have deemed them safe, according to town officials, including Town Manager Andrew Flanagan. The Andover Senior Center and Andover Youth Center are open for residents who have been displaced. Additional facilities may be opened if necessary. Fire crews will remain in Andover throughout the evening, officials said. Andover Fire-Rescue Department struck a 10-alarm response at 5:01 p.m., its maximum traditional fire response. That directed 20 fire engines and 10 fire ladder trucks to the Town of Andover plus the town’s entire fire department. However, a lot of those resources were diverted by concurrent 10-alarm situations in Lawrence and North Andover. Fire Chief Michael Mansfield requested, through the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency, two additional fire task forces to respond to Andover. This sent an additional 20 engines and ladder trucks total to Andover. Chief Mansfield also requested an ambulance task force, sending 10 ambulances to Andover. Mansfield said fire departments from as far away as Boston, Needham and Belmont, as well as the state Fire Marshal's Office and MEMA had come to the town's assistance. Chief Patrick Keefe said that police resources from throughout Massachusetts have responded to Andover, including the Northeastern Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council Rapid Response Team, the NEMLEC Motor Unit, Massachusetts State and Police. Chief 7:12 P.M Lawrence General Hospital reports that four people have been treated in connection with the Columbia Gas Co. explosions. Cell service has been extremely spotty all around the region. Officials were advising people to find other routes besides Interstate 495 due to heavy travel between Andover and Lawrence. Exits 42 through 45 are closed according to the Massachusetts State Police. Where you should go if you've evacuated because of natural gas 6:58 P.M. MBTA commuter rail Haverhill line will only be running as far as North Wilmington. 6:53 P.M. National Grid has announced it will cut off electricity in Andover, North Andover and Lawrence. 6:41 P.M. As first-responders struggled to keep up with their fight against dozens of fires in Lawrence, Andover and North Andover, residents continued to leave their homes, many making their way to a number of emergency evacuation centers in the area. Methuen Police Chief Joseph Solomon said 60 to 100 fires are burning across the Merrimack Valley at 6:35 p.m., and multiple people were hurt, according to reports. The fires are attributed to problems with Columbia Gas Co. and officials are telling people that if they have Columbia Gas service they should evacuate their homes — even if there is not an odor. The Federal Bureau of Investigation sent staff to the scene to be of assistance, according to reports. No further details concerning their role was available. Haverhill issued a robocall at 6:05 p.m. saying that the city was not affected by the explosions in nearby communities. Information was scarce for Andover residents, who received reverse 911 calls with orders to shut off their gas lines and evacuate their homes, but not much more. Several people milled about outside their homes on North Main Street and Lewis Street in North Andover near the Public Safety Center, gathering pets and packing up cars. The apparatus floor of the firehouse was devoid of vehicles, several of them instead racing down clogged streets to answer new calls, adding chaos to an already gridlocked commute. Fire trucks from Groveland, Burlington and Salem, New Hampshire, further blocked roads as they pulled into the station, waiting for orders of how to help amidst the growing crisis. Around the corner, Susan Waldie sat in the grass, waiting for her daughter and grandchildren to arrive so she could evacuate to Haverhill to stay the night with family. “If my house blows up, there’s nothing I can do,” she said. Her neighbor, Erika Halloran, was pacing while fielding phone calls from friends and family, as sirens blared across the downtown. “I have to study for a geography quiz,” her son, 15-year-old Andrew Halloran said with a shrug, looking mildly bewildered as he stretched out on the grass by the public safety center. “I don’t think that’s happening." 6:10 P.M. In Lawrence, several residences burned unattended as there weren't enough firefighters to respond to every incident. Fires burned on Kingston, Inman and Springfield streets. A house exploded on Chickering Road in Lawrence and injuries were reported. “We're very upset. It's pretty frightening to see your house explode,” said a woman on Chickering Road who declined to give her name. Cameron Couillard, a Lowell resident who works at the Shawsheen Plaza, said, “Everyone felt the shake.” In Andover fires burned on High and Elm streets. In North Andover fire damaged a house on Waverly Road. Merrimack College in North Andover and the Merrimack Valley YMCA of Andover/North Andover were evacuated by 6 p.m., as was Phillips Academy, Andover. Kristina Fabiano of 57 High St. in Andover said she walked into the apartment building around 4 p.m. and smelled gas. She called her husband to tell him, "It really smells." She said when she was opening the back door she heard the fire alarm go off in the basement. After calling 911 she said it took 20 minutes for firefighters to arrive. "This is so terrible," she said, as she stood by with her husband, both crying. Eleven people live in the apartment complex, Fabiano said. The fire was smoky at first and then bright orange flames could be seen inside through the front door and windows, she said. Police and firefighters ordered everyone in the vicinity, including a reporter, to leave the area and go to the center of town where it's safe. Thick, black smoke billowed from a large, old home on Herrick Street near the intersection with Waverly Road in North Andover. It appeared to take the firefighters a significant amount of time to get water flowing into the home. At least one fire hydrant on Waverly road did not appear to be working. No flames were visible, but the smells of smoke and gas were pervasive on the street, as were the sounds of helicopters overhead and sirens passing by, headed to other fires. The emergency response tied up traffic on Waverly Road as neighbors stood outside watching the firefighters work. Bill Gibbs, the homeowner, arrived about 20 minutes after his neighbor called him to report the fire. He said he'd been on the scene for 10 minutes but did not have any information yet. "They don't know anything," he said. When asked if he could describe how he was feeling, Gibbs answered simply: "No." "Won't be sleeping there tonight," he added. A neighbor, Klara Strakosha, said she loved the old house. "I think this house is done," she said sadly. "It's very old." 5:43 P.M. Fire Chief Michael Mansfield said 25 to 30 active fires were in progress in Andover, according Board of Selectman Chairman Alex Vispoli. At least 18 fires were underway in Lawrence, according to officials. No reports were available as to the extent of fires in North Andover at 5:30 p.m. "There are multiple basement fires in Andover. It's some kind of gas issue," said Lt. Edward Guy, spokesman for the Andover Police Department. "We urge residents if they are smelling gas to get out of the house and contact 911. We will get units out there." In Andover a robocall was made to residents asking them to shut off the gas in their homes, but people on social media were asking how to do so and expressing confusion. At Stadium Plaza on Route 114 in Lawrence a medical response center was being set up. Four ambulances were lined in a row about 5:15 p.m Several more ambulances had been dispatched. Officials were heard notifying Holy Family Hospital in Methuen to expect multiple admissions. An emergency operations center was set up at the Public Safety Complex at 32 North Main St. in Andover. A fire task force and the police and fire chiefs were enacting an emergency system protocol. The Andover Senior Center also was set up for evacuations. Merrimack Valley Regional Transit Authority buses were commissioned to function as evacuation vehicles. In North Andover, the high school was set up as an evacuation site and the gas was shut off in the building to ensure it would not explode. North Andover police drove through the downtown area broadcasting over their public address systems urging people to leave their homes if they smell gas. Much of Methuen's police force was diverted to Lawrence to assist. A house at 85 Colonial Road in Lawrence was actively smoking as firefighters hosed it down just after 5 p.m. Some firefighters carried axes. Police officers knocked on doors to make sure residents were out of their houses. No civilians were on the scene at Colonial Road, but on nearby Chickering Road a number of people were seen watching. On Route 114, a civilian directed traffic away from Chickering Road. One caller to the newspaper said he didn't know how to shut off the gas and could not reach fire or police personnel. "I had a hard time believing it was an authentic emergency message," said Ben Bolinski of Radcliff Drive in Andover.

Between the onset of the Syrian war in 2012 and 2017, the number of Christians dropped from 1.5 million to 500,000. In Aleppo, Syria, which was home to Syria’s largest Christian population, numbers fell from 150,000 to 35,000 by the spring of 2017, which is a drop of more than 75 percent. In Iraq, over half of the country’s Christians are internal refugees, and the report predicts that Christianity in Iraq could be effectively wiped out by 2020 if the population continues to decline as it has in the past two years. Aid to the Church also accuses the U.N. and Western media of neglecting persecuted Christians: “At a time in the West when there is increasing media focus on the rights of people regardless of gender, ethnicity, or sexuality, it is ironic that in much of the secular media there should be such limited coverage of the massive persecution experienced by so many Christians.” While the U.N. did appoint the special adviser, as the ECLJ requested, the U.N.’s declaration of the persecution of Christians in the region as “genocide” would be the most consequential step in facilitating and achieving lasting resettlement for the victims. ISIS’s crimes against Christians include beheadings, burning victims alive in caskets, and rape. “No one cares about us, like we are not human,” said one Christian survivor about the U.N.’s inaction. The Christians in Iraq and Syria are considered some of the oldest continuous Christian communities in the world, and in Iraq, the Assyrians and Chaldean Christians are the indigenous people and speak Eastern Aramaic. Thomas the Apostle and Mar Addai brought Christianity to Iraq in the first century. Residents of Syria’s ancient Christian town of Maaloula also speak Aramaic, the language of Christ; Maaloula is among the last communities in the world to speak the nearly extinct language. “The U.N. must defend the rights of all religious minorities, including the Christians in Iraq, Syria, and any other place where ISIS has been engaging in genocide — without delay,” notes the ECLJ testimony for the current session. “The very mission of this organization requires nothing less.”

Pentagon Will Spend $2 Billion Developing Next-Generation AI

Published: September 10, 2018

Source: Nextgov

The Pentagon on Friday announced it would spend more than $2 billion over the next five years to advance the foundations of artificial intelligence technology. Through the AI Next initiative, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency aims to bring about so-called “third wave” AI, tools capable of human-like communication and contextual reasoning that far surpass the abilities of today’s most advanced machine-learning and AI technology. The massive investment comes as global powers like China pour significant resources into their own artificial intelligence R&D programs. “I’m proud to tell you DARPA plans to continue and increase its support for AI research, with a significant focus on the technologies that underpin a third wave of AI,” said DARPA Director Steven Walker in the announcement at the agency’s 60th anniversary conference. “Let’s … double down and commit to ensuring our country continues to create technological surprise for many more years and continues to use that surprise for a better and more secure world.” DARPA currently runs more than 20 programs to advance artificial intelligence and more than 60 others that explore ways the technology can bolster cybersecurity, share the electromagnetic spectrum and enable other breakthroughs. Under AI Next, the agency will spend the next year significantly expanding that portfolio. Today, DARPA spends about $300 million annually on its AI endeavors, and AI Next would increase funding by another $100 million per year beginning in fiscal 2019, according to DARPA Chief of Communications Jared Adams.

Another Ebola case detected outside DRC's main hot spots

Filed Under: Ebola; VHF Lisa Schnirring | News Editor | CIDRAP News | Sep 07, 2018

Signaling another extension of Ebola outside the main hot spots, a case has been detected in a village in Masereka health zone not far from the urban center of Butembo. The case involves a health worker from Beni who refused follow-up and vaccination after potential exposure, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) health ministry said yesterday. The World Health Organization (WHO) said in its update today that the risk of spread is heightened by the movement of two cases from Beni, the one in Masereka Health Zone and a case confirmed earlier this week that marked the first spread to Butembo, home to nearly 1 million people. The developments, however, aren't surprising, the WHO said. "Given the mobility of populations in the affected areas, these two cases were expected, rapidly detected, and additional response measures swiftly activated to interrupt further spread of the virus." Overall, the WHO said transmission focus has shifted to Beni, but it warned that sporadic cases are still being reported in Mangina and Mandima health zones, the outbreak's earlier hot spots. Health teams continue to face sporadic reluctance to response activities in the outbreak areas, the agency said. It added that insecurity and conflict activity is also closely being monitored in the affected areas, and, as in earlier outbreaks, officials are following the United Nations policy of using armed military escorts in separate vehicles when needed. The WHO said security personnel aren't directly involved in response operations. Latest health ministry numbers The latest confirmed cases include the one from Masereka Health Zone and another from Beni, the health ministry said yesterday. The developments push the outbreak total to 129, including 98 confirmed and 31 probable cases. Health officials are investigating 7 suspected cases. Health ministry Oly Ilunga, MD, traveled to Beni yesterday and with other high-level health officials took part in a public information session in Ndindi district, where some residents have hid sick patients, obstructed response activities, and refused vaccination. The group also flew to Butembo to meet with response teams and deliver mobile lab equipment. Vaccination teams continue to make headway in the area, and the WHO said 6,830 people have been immunized in 44 defined vaccination rings and in 10 rings of health workers. Treatment facilities expand Ebola treatment centers (ETCs) are fully operating in Beni and Mangina by the Alliance for International Medical Action (ALIMA) and Doctors Without Borders (MSF). Over the next 2 weeks, ALIMA plans on expanding its "treatment cube" capacity. The treatment cubes, developed in the wake of West Africa's massive Ebola outbreak with input from an expert team brought together by ALIMA, have transparent walls that allow health workers to perform most patient care activities without having to wear personal protective equipment (PPE). The units are designed for quick assembly and to offer biosafety level 4 security In another development, a new ETC in Ituri province staffed by the International Medical Corps is expected to begin operating the week of Sep 9. MSF said in an update today that in its first month of responding to the DRC's latest Ebola outbreak it has treated 65 patients, more than 80% of the number of confirmed patients hospitalized in the region's ETCs. Of those treated in MSF's Mangina ETC, 29 have recovered and returned to their families and 3 are still in treatment. MSF warns epidemic at a crucial point Berangere Guais, MSF's emergency coordinator in Beni, said the latest epidemic is at a crucial point. "Yes the number of patients in the treatment center has reduced significantly, but new cases from a number of different chains of transmission have emerged in recent days," she said. Response teams must continue to build trust with the community to ensure that those with symptoms are quickly isolated and tested. "We just cannot let down our guard until the epidemic is declared over."

Universal mental health screenings to be introduced in local middle schools

YES partners with LWSD and BSD to address mental health and substance use issues in students sooner.

by Madison Miller Monday, September 3, 2018 8:30am

This fall, Youth Eastside Services (YES) and several King County school districts will introduce a universal screening for mental health and substance use risk factors to local middle school students. According to the 2016 Healthy Youth Survey, King County’s suicide rate has increased by about 18 percent in the last decade while substance abuse rate has held steady. Through the Best Starts for Kids initiative, the Check Yourself Tool will begin screening seventh grade students for mental health and substance use risk factors in Bellevue School District and Lake Washington School District middle schools. Other King County school districts are either considering implementing it or are in some phase of implementing it in the future. The Check Yourself Tool is based off of research from Seattle Children’s Hospital and the University of Washington and has been adapted for this specific project. The goal of the tool is to take a proactive approach to preventing youth mental health and substance use issues. The research-based program is called SBIRT, or Screening Brief Intervention and Referral to Services. The tool is a HIPPA compliant, interactive, web-based survey that collects individual student data and provides them with instant personalized feedback about mental health behaviors. The survey will be administered in seventh grade health classes and would take students approximately five to 10 minutes to complete. “By doing this, we’re hoping to find kids that we’re missing more. Kids are missed a lot, they look OK on the outside but they’re not,” YES COO, David Downing, said. “Last year we had a number of completed suicides in the greater Eastside and they weren’t kids people would traditionally call up in their head and think of being at risk. The screener will help us find kids that are less obvious and get them the help they need before something happens.” The survey contains a series of questions that cover four main areas: strengths (goals, supportive relationships and school connectedness); substance use (use in the past year and frequency of use); mental health (anxiety, PTSD symptoms, and self-harm thoughts); and safety (harassment, feeling safe at school, and context at home). The screening questions are designed to determine whether the student may need additional support and to provide information to help an interventionist start a conversation with the student. Based upon the student’s results, they will be classified into one of three “tiers.” Students in tier one demonstrate very low risk for mental health issues and substance use and will not require additional services other than what the school already provides. Students in tier two demonstrate a need for low-grade intervention will be connected to a YES Family Community Connector and may be matched to a YES SUCCESS mentor and/or be connected to a positive social function of the school. “It’s really thinking about how to support that kid in getting what they need at an earlier phase, so that’s the prevention part of it,” Downing said. Students in tier three demonstrate a high need for immediate intervention and will be referred to YES counseling services. Students who screen out as very high risk will receive an evaluation either the same day or the next day. “We’ll have an expert specialist in each of the districts and those are master’s level, dually certified clinicians that are licensed mental health and chemical dependency specialists. We will work with that young person and their family to connect them to ongoing help,” Downing said. The survey will not be administered to all seventh grade students on the same day in both districts. It will be strategically spaced out dependent on individual schools and their readiness to implement the survey, but all middle schools in LWSD and BSD will administer the survey. “We want to evolve it in a way that’s not going to overwhelm our ability to respond to student needs…We’ll probably do a school a week and then have a gap week afterward in order to be able to respond and provide the help in connecting kids to services,” Downing said. The Check Yourself Tool is in a pilot phase and will be funded through the Best Starts for Kids for the next three years. Downing hopes the survey will expand to multiple grades and an increase in staffing will take place. YES is currently filing an active active assessment for federal funding so the survey, if it proves beneficial, will be able to continue after the three years. “There’s a lot of things that are impacting kids today that are really driving the issues that we’re seeing around mental health, so finding ways for us to have ways to intervene with kids earlier and find kids that are at higher risk is just so critically important,” Downing said. “It’s important that folks understand that this is part of the overall web of looking at the bigger issue of community health issues around kids and mental health.”

Google’s Selfish Ledger is an unsettling vision of Silicon Valley social engineering

This internal video from 2016 shows a Google concept for how total data collection could reshape society

By Vlad Savov@vladsavov May 17, 2018, 8:00am EDT

Google has built a multibillion-dollar business out of knowing everything about its users. Now, a video produced within Google and obtained by The Verge offers a stunningly ambitious and unsettling look at how some at the company envision using that information in the future. The video was made in late 2016 by Nick Foster, the head of design at X (formerly Google X) and a co-founder of the Near Future Laboratory. The video, shared internally within Google, imagines a future of total data collection, where Google helps nudge users into alignment with their goals, custom-prints personalized devices to collect more data, and even guides the behavior of entire populations to solve global problems like poverty and disease. When reached for comment on the video, an X spokesperson provided the following statement to The Verge: “We understand if this is disturbing -- it is designed to be. This is a thought-experiment by the Design team from years ago that uses a technique known as ‘speculative design’ to explore uncomfortable ideas and concepts in order to provoke discussion and debate. It’s not related to any current or future products.” Titled The Selfish Ledger, the 9-minute film starts off with a history of Lamarckian epigenetics, which are broadly concerned with the passing on of traits acquired during an organism’s lifetime. Narrating the video, Foster acknowledges that the theory may have been discredited when it comes to genetics but says it provides a useful metaphor for user data. (The title is an homage to Richard Dawkins’ 1976 book The Selfish Gene.) The way we use our phones creates “a constantly evolving representation of who we are,” which Foster terms a “ledger,” positing that these data profiles could be built up, used to modify behaviors, and transferred from one user to another: “User-centered design principles have dominated the world of computing for many decades, but what if we looked at things a little differently? What if the ledger could be given a volition or purpose rather than simply acting as a historical reference? What if we focused on creating a richer ledger by introducing more sources of information? What if we thought of ourselves not as the owners of this information, but as custodians, transient carriers, or caretakers?” The so-called ledger of our device use — the data on our “actions, decisions, preferences, movement, and relationships” — is something that could conceivably be passed on to other users much as genetic information is passed on through the generations, Foster says. uilding on the ledger idea, the middle section of the video presents a conceptual Resolutions by Google system, in which Google prompts users to select a life goal and then guides them toward it in every interaction they have with their phone. The examples, which would “reflect Google’s values as an organization,” include urging you to try a more environmentally friendly option when hailing an Uber or directing you to buy locally grown produce from Safeway. Of course, the concept is premised on Google having access to a huge amount of user data and decisions. Privacy concerns or potential negative externalities are never mentioned in the video. The ledger’s demand for ever more data might be the most unnerving aspect of the presentation. Foster envisions a future where “the notion of a goal-driven ledger becomes more palatable” and “suggestions may be converted not by the user but by the ledger itself.” This is where the Black Mirror undertones come to the fore, with the ledger actively seeking to fill gaps in its knowledge and even selecting data-harvesting products to buy that it thinks may appeal to the user. The example given in the video is a bathroom scale because the ledger doesn’t yet know how much its user weighs. The video then takes a further turn toward anxiety-inducing sci-fi, imagining that the ledger may become so astute as to propose and 3D-print its own designs. Welcome home, Dave, I built you a scale. Foster’s vision of the ledger goes beyond a tool for self-improvement. The system would be able to “plug gaps in its knowledge and refine its model of human behavior” — not just your particular behavior or mine, but that of the entire human species. “By thinking of user data as multigenerational,” explains Foster, “it becomes possible for emerging users to benefit from the preceding generation’s behaviors and decisions.” Foster imagines mining the database of human behavior for patterns, “sequencing” it like the human genome, and making “increasingly accurate predictions about decisions and future behaviours.” “As cycles of collection and comparison extend,” concludes Foster, “it may be possible to develop a species-level understanding of complex issues such as depression, health, and poverty.” Granted, Foster’s job is to lead design at X, Google’s “moonshot factory” with inherently futuristic goals, and the ledger concept borders on science fiction — but it aligns almost perfectly with attitudes expressed in Google’s existing products. Google Photos already presumes to know what you’ll consider life highlights, proposing entire albums on the basis of its AI interpretations. Google Maps and the Google Assistant both make suggestions based on information they have about your usual location and habits. The trend with all of these services has been toward greater inquisitiveness and assertiveness on Google’s part. Even email compositions are being automated in Gmail. At a time when the ethics of new technology and AI are entering the broader public discourse, Google continues to be caught unawares by the potential ethical implications and downsides of its products, as seen most recently with its demonstration of the Duplex voice-calling AI at I/O. The outcry over Duplex’s potential to deceive prompted Google to add the promise that its AI will always self-identify as such when calling unsuspecting service workers. The Selfish Ledger positions Google as the solver of the world’s most intractable problems, fueled by a distressingly intimate degree of personal information from every user and an ease with guiding the behavior of entire populations. There’s nothing to suggest that this is anything more than a thought exercise inside Google, initiated by an influential executive. But it does provide an illuminating insight into the types of conversations going on within the company that is already the world’s most prolific personal data collector.

Update: Nick Foster’s title has been updated to include the Near Future Laboratory and X’s response has been moved.

Group: Officials destroying crosses, burning bibles in China

By CHRISTOPHER BODEEN | Associated Press one day ago

BEIJING – China's government is ratcheting up a crackdown on Christian congregations in Beijing and several provinces, destroying crosses, burning bibles, shutting churches and ordering followers to sign papers renouncing their faith, according to pastors and a group that monitors religion in China. The campaign corresponds with a drive to "Sinicize" religion by demanding loyalty to the officially atheist Communist Party and eliminating any challenge to its power over people's lives. Bob Fu of the U.S.-based group China Aid said over the weekend that the closure of churches in central Henan province and a prominent house church in Beijing in recent weeks represents a "significant escalation" of the crackdown. "The international community should be alarmed and outraged for this blatant violation of freedom of religion and belief," he wrote in an email. Under President Xi Jinping, China's most powerful leader since Mao Zedong, religious believers are seeing their freedoms shrink dramatically even as the country undergoes a religious revival. Experts and activists say that as he consolidates his power, Xi is waging the most severe systematic suppression of Christianity in the country since religious freedom was written into the Chinese constitution in 1982. Fu also provided video footage of what appeared to be piles of burning bibles and forms stating that the signatories had renounced their Christian faith. He said that marked the first time since Mao's radical 1966-1976 Cultural Revolution that Christians had been compelled to make such declarations, under pain of expulsion from school and the loss of welfare benefits. A Christian pastor in the Henan city of Nanyang said crosses, bibles and furniture were burned during a raid on his church on Sept. 5. The pastor, who asked not to be identified by name to avoid repercussions from authorities, said several people entered the church just as it opened its doors at 5 a.m. and began removing items. He said the church had been in discussions with local authorities who demanded it "reform" itself, but no agreement had been reached or official documents released. Chinese law requires religious believers to worship only in congregations registered with the authorities, but many millions belong to so-called underground or house churches that defy government restrictions. A local official reached by phone at the Nanyang city government disputed the account, saying officials respected religious freedom. The man declined to give his name, as is common with Chinese bureaucrats, while a person answering phones at the local religious affairs bureau said they were "not clear" about the matter. In Beijing, the Zion church was shut on Sunday by around 60 government workers who arrived at 4:30 p.m. accompanied by buses, police cars and fire trucks, the church's pastor, Ezra Jin Mingri, said Monday. Zion is known as the largest house church in Beijing, with six branches. The officials declared the gatherings illegal and sealed off church properties, Jin said, after already freezing the pastor's personal assets in an apparent attempt to force him to comply with their demands. "Churches will continue to develop. Blocking the sites will only intensify conflicts," Jin told The Associated Press by phone. A notice posted Sunday on the website of the Chaoyang district government in Beijing said the Zion Church had been closed because it failed to register with the government. All of China's officially recognized religions appear to have been affected by the crackdown. In the most extreme example, an estimated 1 million Uighurs and other members of Muslim minority groups in the country's northwest have been arbitrarily detained in indoctrination camps where they are forced to denounce Islam and profess loyalty to the Communist Party. The government says it is taking necessary measures to eliminate extremism, but denies setting up the camps. China has an estimated 38 million Protestants, and experts have predicted that the country will have the world's largest Christian population in a few decades.

Spiritual-warfare expert: 'Demonic component' to divided U.S.

'I expect to see more and more of what we're seeing'

Art Moore Published: 2 days ago

Is there a spiritual component to the sharp division America is experiencing? Karl Payne, an expert on demonology and the author of the highly acclaimed book “Spiritual Warfare: Christians, Demonization, and Deliverance,” cites Jesus acknowledging that, for a time, Satan has been given limited authority on Earth. “If someone asks if [Satan] would influence the political system, I say, ‘Of course he would. Why wouldn’t he?'” image: https://mobile.wnd.com/files/2015/07/kpayne300_15-150x140.jpg 

Karl Payne Payne, a pastor at Antioch Bible Church near Seattle and a former chaplain for the Seattle Seahawks, said it’s in the nature of Satan to divide. Proverbs 6, he noted, says there are seven things that God hates, and number seven is people who “purposefully sow discord.” “Chaos is the name of the game, I believe, for Satan and for his minions,” he said. “If Jesus speaks truth, they want to undermine that truth any way that can.” “Through the television, through the movies, we’re just inundated with ‘up is down, down is up, black is white, white is black, good is evil, evil is good,’ you can’t get away from it,” he said. As an example, Payne said he couldn’t imagine 20 or 30 years ago seeing the emergence of a bill such as California’s AB 2943 that would punish the sale or promotion of the idea that God can heal unwanted sexual-attractions. “I thought to myself, do you really think that there would come a time in this country when people who love Jesus — who live by a credo of love your enemies and pray for those who spitefully use you, who treat others as you want to be treated — would be labeled as xenophobic, homophobic bigots, I would have said, no, I don’t think in my lifetime that could happen,” he said. “I not only think it’s here, I think we’re going to see more of it.” Payne is scheduled to speak at a conference Oct. 19-20 in Byron Center, Michigan, near Grand Rapids, titled “Spiritual Warfare: Eyes Wide Open.”.  He will be joined by Marcus Warner, the author of several books, including “What Every Believer Should Know About Spiritual Warfare.” Don’t be surprised How should Christians live in this time of division? First, Payne said, believers in Jesus Christ should not be surprised. He cited John 15 in which Jesus said “if they hate me they will hate you” and the apostle Paul writing that “if you reign with Christ you will also suffer with him.” Peter, in his letters, also refers extensively to Christians suffering unjustly. “We in this country are the anomaly,” Payne said. “Our (Christian) brethren in Muslim countries who are suffering on a daily basis are saying, ‘I don’t see how you can say you’ve got it hard when you’re socially ostracized and not invited to parties or something. We literally have to be concerned about being killed on a regular basis.'” Matthew 4:8 and Ephesians chapters 1 and 2 speak of a “world at war against God,” he noted. Secondly, though, Christians certainly should not invite persecution and, like Paul, avoid it when possible. The book of Acts recounts Paul appealing to his Roman captors who were about to beat him by citing his Roman citizenship. The apostle argued it was unlawful in that circumstance to beat a Roman citizen. And he later, as a citizen, appealed to Caesar, arguing for the right to a fair trial. Jesus, Payne noted, sent out his disciples as “sheep among wolves,” to be “harmless as doves” but also “shrewd as serpents.” “Just because I’m religious doesn’t mean I don’t have rights,” he said. Where is America headed? Already, bakers and florists have faced punishment for exercising their faith in the public square. And Payne believes that churches losing tax exempt status is not an “if” but a “when.” “The day is gone when people assume that because you’re a Christian, you must be a moral, sincere and compassionate person,” he said. Christians are considered pariahs in many quarters. “My state of Washington, my city of Seattle, it’s a lot like New York or San Francisco. They’re proud of the fact that they are pagan,” he said. Payne points to specific Bible passages that instruct Christians in times such as this. They must, among other things, (Colossians 4:5,6) make the most of every opportunity, (Jude 3) contend for the faith and (I Peter 3:15) have a reasonable answer ready for everyone who asks “to give the reason for the hope that you have” and to do it with “gentleness and respect.” The natural response to opposition is to water down the Christian message, and that certainly is happening, Payne said, describing a “spineless” Christianity with the consistency of “Jello.” “We need people willing to stand up and say I care more about doing what’s right than making people happy,” he said. Ironically, Payne argued, compromise not only weakens the witness, it diminishes the respect from people who might otherwise be willing to grant it. He recalled being at a conference sponsored by evangelical Christians in Colorado Springs on the subject of the proper use of force that included scholars from institutions such as Harvard and Stanford. A professor from the University of California at Berkeley, Payne said, chastised the evangelicals gathered there for, in his estimation, trying so hard to be moderate. “You born-agains are the last hope for this country,” Payne paraphrased the professor saying. “I am asking you, why are you trying to be just like Harvard and losing your message? “The reason I agreed to come to this meeting is because of your message.”

National Solar Observatory, USPS office in Sunspot, NM evacuated for 'safety reasons'

By: Mauricio Casillas Posted: Sep 07, 2018 05:29 PM MDT Updated: Sep 07, 2018 10:27 PM MDT

SUNSPOT, New Mexico - The National Solar Observatory in Sunspot, New Mexico, and a nearby United States Postal Service office, were evacuated for security reasons Thursday, observatory officials said.  "We have decided to temporarily vacate this facility as a precautionary measure. And we're working with the proper authorities on this issue," Association for Universities for Research in Astronomy spokeswoman Sheri Lofson said. Friday, both properties remained closed to the public, with yellow caution tape around the property. Sunspot is located in the Sacramento Mountains in Otero County about 15 miles south of Cloudcroft. There is currently a working telescope at the observatory, where New Mexico State University also conducts research. "As locals I feel that we should know what's going on around us," Cloudcroft resident Roger Wiley said. A spokesman for the Otero County Sheriff's Office said they are not involved in the investigation. A post office in the area has also been shut down. "Right now, what we're told is that they've temporarily evacuated the area. We haven't been told why or when that expires," said Rod Spurgeon, a spokesman with the USPS.

5:05 AM (Monday) | **Potential tremendous rainfall amounts from Hurricane Florence as an "atmospheric brick wall" sets up** September 10, 2018

Overview

All eyes are focused on Hurricane Florence as we begin the new week and chances for a major impact on the US east coast continue to grow. Florence is now churning slowly towards the US east coast as a category 2 hurricane and may make a landfall late Thursday or early Friday somewhere along the Carolina coastline – likely with “major” hurricane status. Very strong high pressure ridging is now building at upper levels of the atmosphere across southeastern Canada and the northwestern Atlantic and this will be a key player in the push of Florence towards the east coast over the next few days. In addition, this very strong high pressure ridge will eventually act as an “atmospheric brick wall” for Florence once it reaches the east coast and the brakes will be put on any attempt at a northward advance by the storm. This eventual slow down in the northward advance of Florence will allow for an extended period of heavy rainfall and the result could be tremendous rainfall amounts in the Carolinas and much of the Mid-Atlantic region. Florence  Florence regained hurricane strength on Sunday and is very likely to reach “major” hurricane status within 12-24 hours. The latest readings on Hurricane Florence are as follows: max sustained winds at 105 mph, central pressure at 969 mb and its movement is to the west-northwest at 9 mph. An upper-level trough of low pressure pushed across the north Atlantic this weekend and “left behind” Hurricane Florence which is now under the increasing influence of a strong upper-level ridge expanding to the north across southeastern Canada and the northwestern Atlantic. This ridge will help allow for the movement of Florence to continue to the west over the next couple of days and towards the Carolina coast line. Along this expected near-term path, Hurricane Florence will begin to cross over warmer-than-normal waters in the western Atlantic Ocean which will help in its intensification back to "major" status (i.e., category 3, 4 or 5) and this large warmer-than-normal pocket of water will also aid in the "pumping" up of the very strong ridge of high pressure to the north. On the current path, Florence will likely make landfall late Thursday or early Friday somewhere along the Carolina coastline - perhaps as a category 4 "major" hurricane - and then it’ll try to turn to the north. However, the extremely strong upper-level ridge of high pressure to the north will act as an “atmospheric brick wall” and force Florence to slow down to a crawl in its attempt to move northward. This slow down will allow for an extended period of heavy rainfall in the region from the Carolinas to the southern Mid-Atlantic and perhaps as far north as the Delmarva Peninsula, Pennsylvania and New Jersey in the period from the end of the week to the early part of next week. The grounds in the much of the eastern US including the Mid-Atlantic region are already well-saturated from the weekend significant rainfall associated with the combination of the remains of Gordon and a frontal system and from numerous heavy rain events during the summer season. Given the already well saturated grounds, any additional heavy rainfall from Florence could potentially lead to widespread and serious flooding problems. Isaac, Helene Two other hurricanes are in the Atlantic Basin and will need to be monitored in coming days. The closest system is Hurricane Isaac (category 1) and it will take a “southern” track and head to the Caribbean Sea – perhaps reaching there by Thursday. Meanwhile, Hurricane Helene (category 1) is expected to curve to the north in coming days and out into the open Atlantic – likely never coming close to the US. According to Philip Klotzbach (Colorado State University), this is the 11th year on record that the Atlantic Ocean has had 3+ hurricanes simultaneously. Other years were 1893, 1926, 1950, 1961, 1967, 1980, 1995, 1998, 2010, and 2017. Meteorologist Paul Dorian Perspecta, Inc.

Strengthening Florence to pose serious threat to US East Coast later this week

By Renee Duff, AccuWeather meteorologist

September 10, 2018, 12:31:29 PM EDT

All interests along the coasts of the Southeast and mid-Atlantic are being put on alert for a potential strike from Category 4 Hurricane Florence during the second half of the week. AccuWeather meteorologists believe that Florence will reach the Carolina or Virginia coasts and pose a serious threat to lives and property late this week. There is the potential for Florence to stall or significantly reduce its forward speed as it nears the coast, which could prolong the effects of damaging winds, storm surge flooding and beach erosion. A stall or slow forward speed would also greatly enhance inland flooding of streams and rivers. States of emergency have been declared in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia in preparation for Florence's arrival. Florence, has regained Category 4 strength as of midday Monday, based on aircraft reports, and may reach Category 5 status as it tracks toward the U.S. Florence became the first Category 4 hurricane of the 2018 Atlantic season last week but later weakened due to a zone of strong wind shear and cooler waters. Very warm water and low wind shear may allow additional strengthening through midweek. Seas to become dangerous well ahead of Florence Large swells will propagate outward hundreds of miles away from the center of the storm this week. The swells will make for rough seas along and well off the U.S. East Coast, Bermuda, the northern shores of the Caribbean islands and the south- and southeast-facing shores of the Canada Maritimes, according to AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski. "The rough surf and seas can occur hundreds of miles away from the path of the storm," Sosnowski said. The frequency and intensity of rip currents will increase as Florence strengthens and especially in areas in the direct line of sight of the hurricane which is along the Carolina, Virginia and Delmarva coasts. If caught in a rip current, do not panic or fight the current. Swim parallel to the shore until you are free of the current’s grip. Then swim at an angle, away from the current, toward the shore. “The surf may be especially hazardous, since most lifeguards are not on duty past Labor Day,” Sosnowski said. Operators of small craft should heed all advisories that are issued and remain in port if necessary. Larger vessels, such as cruise or cargo ships, may have to reroute their courses to avoid Florence’s dangerous seas. RELATED:

Florence to bring significant impacts to U.S. East Coast Florence is expected to be as strong as a Category 4 hurricane by the time it makes its closest approach to the United States from Wednesday to Thursday. AccuWeather Hurricane Expert Dan Kottlowski said that a Florence landfall along the U.S. East coast is becoming more likely, with the Carolinas at greatest risk on Thursday. The exact track, overall size and forward speed of the storm will determine which locations along the coast receive the worst of Florence's damaging winds, heavy rain and storm surge flooding. Kottlowski is concerned that Florence will slow down and possibly stall near or inland of the coast, potentially leading to a life-threatening flooding situation. "As we have seen with hurricanes in most recent years, such as Lane in Hawaii earlier this summer and Harvey last year in Texas, feet of rain can fall when these tropical storms stall," Sosnowski said.

Muslims 'proselytizing' at U.S. school assemblies

'Effort to indoctrinate students in the name of diversity'

Published: 19 hours ago

Two Muslim organizations are suspected of proselytizing California public school students at assemblies. The Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund dispatched a records request to the Gilroy Unified School District because of a possible constitutional violation for letting the Muslim groups indoctrinate students. “Last year, a Muslim high school student complained to school officials she was bullied after Donald Trump got elected and that she was offended by a class assignment that included a Fox News op-ed,” the legal team explained. “After school board members met with the student’s family, the district engaged in ‘great partnerships’ with the Islamic Networks Group (ING) and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) to conduct ‘Islamophobia’ presentations and lecture students at school assemblies about Islam,” the group said. However, both the California and U.S. Constitutions prohibit the government from aiding religious sects or favoring one religious organization over another. The legal team explained courts repeatedly have ruled students suffer spiritual and psychological harm if they are exposed to religious indoctrination in a compulsive educational environment. “When school districts allow sectarian groups to advance their agendas under the guise of ‘promoting tolerance,’ they place political correctness over the spiritual and psychological well-being of their schoolchildren,” said Daniel Piedra, FCDF’s executive director. “The First Amendment forbids CAIR’s calculated effort to indoctrinate students in the name of ‘diversity’ and ‘inclusion.'” Support WND’s legal fight to expose the Hamas front in the U.S., the Council on American-Islamic Relations. FCDF pointed out that Nihad Awad, CAIR’s national executive director, testified that “informing the American public about the Islamic faith is a religious obligation,” and the purpose of its “Islamophobia” public school programs is to “create a religious educational environment.” In addition, the organization said, “despite portraying itself as a mainstream Muslim organization, evidence confirms that CAIR was founded by members of Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.” “Indeed, the United Arab Emirates officially designates CAIR as a terrorist organization. CAIR is also notorious in the American Muslim community for demonizing and attacking progressive Muslim organizations that seek to work with government officials to combat Islamic radicalism in the U.S. The Anti-Defamation League has denounced CAIR for its anti-Semitic advocacy.” The organization’s records requests seeks emails between school officials and ING and CAIR since the 2016 election. The local Gilroy Dispatch reported the student claimed to have been bullied and became a celebrity, sitting down for interviews with the likes of National Geographic. Shortly after Trump’s election, the Muslim student, a freshman, claimed to have first encountered bullying.” The report said one message was pinned to her backpack that read, “I like Trump, you’re fired.” The student’s mother was “most taken aback” by an assignment for her daughter “involving a Fox News opinion piece that linked Islam, her religion as a whole to a horrific stoning in Afghanistan.” FCDF also is representing five San Diego families in a federal civil rights lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the San Diego Unified School District’s partnership with CAIR. The district implemented an “anti-Islamophobia initiative” that singled out Muslim students for special protections and empowered CAIR to revise school curriculum to ensure it portrays Islam in a more “inclusive” light. FCDF also is asking Seattle’s schools for details about a similar program. ‘The true faith, Islam’ The influence of Islam in public schools has become a nationwide issue. In May 2017, in Groesbeck, Texas, a couple moved their sixth-grade daughter to a new school after they discovered her history homework assignment on Islam. In late March 2017, as WND reported, a middle school in Chatham, New Jersey, was using a cartoon video to teach the Five Pillars of Islam to seventh-grade students, prompting two parents to obtain legal services to fight the school district, which has ignored their concerns. Teaching the five pillars of Islam also created an uproar in Summerville, South Carolina, and in Loganville, Georgia, last year. WND also reported in March 2017 a high school in Frisco, Texas, set up an Islamic prayer room specifically for Muslim students to pray on campus during school hours. The same type of prayer rooms have been set up in high schools in St. Cloud, Minnesota, and other school districts. In 2015, parents in Tennessee asked the governor, legislature and state education department to investigate pro-Islam bias in textbooks and other materials. WND reported in 2012 ACT for America conducted an analysis of 38 textbooks used in the sixth through 12th grades in public schools and found that since the 1990s, discussions of Islam are taking up more and more pages, while the space devoted to Judaism and Christianity has simultaneously decreased. In 2009, Gilbert T. Sewall, director of the American Textbook Council, a group that reviews history books, told Fox News the texts were “whitewashing” Islamic extremism and key subjects such as jihad, Islamic law and the status of women. Also in 2009, WND reported the middle school textbook “History Alive! The Medieval World and Beyond,” published by Teachers’ Curriculum Institute, said an Islamic “jihad” is an effort by Muslims to convince “others to take up worthy causes, such as funding medical research.” In 2006, WND reported a school in Oregon taught Islam by having students study and learn Muslim prayers and dress as Muslims. WND reported in 2003 a prominent Muslim leader who eventually was convicted on terror-related charges helped write the “Religious Expression in Public Schools” guidelines issued by President Bill Clinton. In 2001, shortly after the 9/11 attacks, seventh graders in Byron, California, were taught a three-week course on Islam that required them to learn 25 Islamic terms, 20 proverbs, Islam’s Five Pillars of Faith, 10 key Islamic prophets and disciples, recite from the Quran, wear a robe during class, adopt a Muslim name and stage their own “holy war” in a dice game. Parents went to court to uphold their right to reject the class for their children, but a federal judge ruled against them, and in 2006, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to consider their appeal.

North Korea military parade features floats and flowers, not missiles

Josh Smith

PYONGYANG (Reuters) - With no long-range missiles on display, North Korea staged a military parade on Sunday focused on conventional arms, peace and economic development as it marked the 70th anniversary of the country’s founding. The reduced display compared to past years earned a thank you note from U.S. President Donald Trump, who hailed it as a “big and very positive statement from North Korea.” Trump on Twitter quoted a Fox News description of the event without long-range nuclear missiles as a sign of North Korea’s “commitment to denuclearize.” “Thank you To Chairman Kim. We will both prove everyone wrong! There is nothing like good dialogue from two people that like each other! Much better than before I took office,” Trump tweeted. In Pyongyang, line upon line of goose-stepping soldiers and columns of tanks shook the ground before giving way to chanting crowds waving flags and flowers as they passed a review stand where North Korean leader Kim Jong Un sat with a special envoy from China, as well as other visiting foreigners. Kim told the envoy, Chinese parliament chief Li Zhanshu, that North Korea was focusing on economic development and hopes to learn from China’s experience in this regard, Chinese state television reported. “North Korea upholds the consensus of the Singapore meeting between the leaders of North Korea and the United States and has taken steps for it and hopes the United States takes corresponding steps, to jointly promote the political resolution process for the peninsula issue,” the report paraphrased Kim as saying. The parade highlight themes of military accomplishment, national development, and international engagement at a time when doubts are arising over Kim’s commitment to abandoning nuclear weapons. Unlike in previous years, there were no inter-continental missiles on display. And there were no nuclear tests to mark the holiday, as has happened in each of the last two years. North Korea routinely uses major holidays to showcase its military capabilities and the latest developments in missile technology. But that has lessened this year, underlining Kim’s stated aim for denuclearizing the Korean peninsula and his recent meetings with South Korean President Moon Jae-in and summits with Trump in Singapore and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing and Dalian. The theme for the celebrations this year was economic development and unifying the Korean peninsula, divided since World War Two. A huge float was decorated with a modern train, solar panels, wind power plants and dams, under a slogan of “All our might to build economy!”, as North Korean men in construction work wear marched. Kim Yong Nam, North Korea’s titular head of state, gave a speech at the parade in which he said the country had achieved status as a military power, and would now pursue efforts to strengthen its economy. Floats on unification also passed by a throng of North Koreans waving unified Korea flags. “All Koreans should join forces to accomplish unification in our generation. Unification is the only way Koreans can survive,” said an editorial in North Korea’s party newspaper Rodong Sinmun. Kim Jong Un and his South Korean counterpart Moon will meet in Pyongyang on Sept. 18-20 for the third time this year and discuss “practical measures” toward denuclearization, officials in Seoul have said. KIM’S LETTER Despite stalled progress on talks with Washington, the North Korean leader wants to denuclearize the peninsula within Trump’s first term, according to South Korean officials. Trump said on Friday that Kim has sent a letter to him, which he believes will be positive. Melissa Hanham, a senior research associate at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, said the military component of the parade appeared to be scaled down this year. “I am very curious to hear what is in the letter to Trump, because this parade could have been more provocative,” Hanham said, adding satellite evidence showed North Korea continued missile-related activities such as testing solid fuel motors. Kim was seen laughing and holding hands up with China’s Li as he oversaw the festivities at Pyongyang’s main Kim Il Sung square on a clear autumn day. Kim waved to the crowd before leaving but did not make any public remarks. North Korea has invited a large group of foreign journalists to cover a military parade and other events to mark the 70th anniversary of its founding. That includes iconic mass games that Pyongyang is organizing for the first time in five years, a huge, nationalist pageant performed by up to 100,000 people in one of the world’s largest stadiums. Both the Mass Games and the military parade have been criticized by human rights advocates and North Korean defectors for the pressure placed on performers and for painting a distorted picture of the country through stage-managed displays. But thousands of jovial North Koreans clapped in unison and rallied support for their leader Kim. A concert on Saturday night attended by Kim Yong Nam and foreign delegations featured little in the way of martial messaging or images, with only a few shadowy American bombers shown briefly in footage of the 1950-1953 Korean War.

The truth is out there - especially if you’re in North Carolina. For at least the second time this summer, a local resident says he saw a UFO in the skies above the Tar Heel State. Javion Hill, 35, posted a photograph on his Facebook page showing a mysterious object in the sky during a rainstorm near Charlotte. Hill, a resident of Kings Mountain, North Carolina, said he took several photos on the night of August 18 as he was driving along U.S. 74 southwest of Charlotte. The object resembles a kind of rectangular aircraft with lights activated along the edges - which UFO enthusiasts and conspiracy theorists claim is an advanced new spy plane known as 'TR-3B'. However, some online have said the picture looks suspiciously like the reflection of a cell phone on the dash. ‘I was on my way home with my wife on the speaker phone, and it looked like there was a tornado coming, so I was trying to take a picture of the clouds for my wife,’ Hill told the Charlotte Observer. ‘But then I saw something that wasn’t normal and I was, like: “Oh my god, what is that?” ‘I started trying to take as many pictures of it as possible while I was driving.’ Hill then pulled his car over at the next exit and tried to get video, but the aircraft disappeared. Moments later, it began pouring rain. Hill said he was so unnerved by what he saw that he could not fall asleep that night. When asked to speculate, Hill said it was possible the aircraft he saw was a military plane of some sort. UFO conspiracy theorists have claimed that the U.S. military is working on a secret anti-gravity spy plane that hovers - the TR-3B. There is only anecdotal evidence that such a plane exists. Some UFO observers claim to have seen an aircraft of this type over Antelope Valley in the southern California desert - not far from Edwards Air Force Base. 'I was worried for my safety,' Hill said. 'I didn’t believe in UFOs until that moment.' The sighting of the unusual aircraft came just two weeks after a video emerged showing what appeared to be a strange object hovering over the Lake Norman area. The footage recorded by Jason Swing on May 29, is extremely shaky but when the video isn't bouncing up and down it shows, clear as day, a large object that appears to be hovering in mid-air. During the short clip Swing posted to YouTube he announces 'This is a spacecraft.' The clip is accompanied with a brief explainer of the video. 'It had been raining all morning. Rain finally stopped so we went (to) pick up a boat from Lake Norman,' Swing says in a post with the video. 'When (I) came around the corner I saw this thing sitting still very close.' The video garnered over 150,000 views and then it received an additional boost in viewers when on Thursday the YouTube video channel 'The Hidden Underbelly 2.0,' a site focused on UFO and creature videos picked it up. While some people were excited about the possibility of the large object being a UFO, others wondered if the government was behind the large flying object. GoodYear, the tire manufacturing company, saw the video, and claims, as much as some wish it were a UFO, that the object seen in the shaky footage, is its blimp that was in the the Charlotte area on May 29, for NASCAR's Coca Cola 600. The GoodYear Blimp's account shared: 'We don’t want to get in the way of a good story, but that’s definitely us. We left the Charlotte area 5/29 after covering the Coke 600.' North Carolina is also the home to multiple military bases, including Fort Bragg, Pope Air Force Base and Camp Lejeune Marine Corps facility. The state is in the top 10 for 'UFO' sightings.

Anti-Mass Migration Tensions Boiling Over In Chemnitz, Germany

Dan Lyman September 03, 2018

Chemnitz, Germany, has become a flashpoint for a rebellion against mass migration and open borders, as thousands of outraged citizens have been protesting the stabbing death of a German man involving migrant suspects. Following the death of 35-year-old Daniel Hillig, a local carpenter who leaves behind a widow, migrants from Syria and Iraq were apprehended, according to details in a leaked arrest warrant. The Iraqi, aged 22, has an extensive list of prior convictions and had been facing deportation for some time, Kronen Zeitung reports.

Pope Francis Likens Child Abuse Victims to a 'Pack of Wild Dogs' Says Jesus would 'remain silent' on Catholic pedophile scandal 

By: Jay Greenberg |@NeonNettle on 4th September 2018 @ 7.00pm

Following weeks of pressure for Pope Francis to respond to accusations that he played a role in the cover-up of a Catholic Church pedophile ring, the pontiff finally spoke up on the scandal by referring to the victims of abuse as a "pack of wild dogs." During Mass at the Vatican’s Sanctae Marthae guesthouse, the Pope raised the issue by likening the latest child abuse scandal to a biblical story where Jesus is driven out of town by a pack of wild dogs. While advising clergy members on how to handle the current wave of accusations, Francis said victims who make allegations against abusive priests "seek only division and destruction" and, like the dogs from the story, are "shouting without reason." Francis then advised Vatican officials to remain silent on the scandals, saying he asked the Lord for the grace to discern when it is better to speak or to remain quiet, and Jesus told him that the answer is "silence and prayer." " With people who do not have good will, with people who seek only scandal, who seek only division, who seek only destruction, even within families,” the answer is “silence. And prayer.” "May the Lord give us the grace to discern when we must speak and when we must be silent. And [to do] in all of life: in work, at home, in society…” to become more closely imitators of Jesus Christ, he said at the Vatican’s Sanctae Marthae on September 3. In his homily, Francis reflected on Jesus’s response to the people who, St. Luke recounts, were “filled with fury” at Jesus’s words in the synagogue, according to Crux Now. As it says in the day’s Gospel, the people “rose up, drove [Jesus] out of the town, and led him to the brow of the hill… to hurl him down headlong. "But he passed through the midst of them and went away.” Those who drove Jesus out of the city were not people, but “a pack of wild dogs,” Francis said. They shouted instead of using reason, and the face of this, Jesus’s response was to remain silent. The Pope likened this episode to Christ’s response on Good Friday, when the people shouted for him to be crucified, because the devil had sown lies in their hearts. Jesus’s response in the face of the people’s anger was not easy, but it was the dignified silence of a Christian anchored in the power of God, the pope said, explaining that Jesus’s answer teaches Christians they should respond to a refusal to see the truth with quiet. Francis noted that when families have disagreements, often about things like politics, sports or money, division is the devil’s goal. “As the father of lies, the accuser, the devil, acts to destroy the unity of a family, of a people,” he said. The response should be to say your piece and then to keep quiet, he said, because “the truth is mild, the truth is silent, the truth is not noisy.”

Future impacts of El Niño, La Niña likely to intensify, increasing wildfire, drought risk

August 29, 2018, National Science Foundation

When an El Niño or its opposite, La Niña, forms in the future, it's likely to cause more intense impacts over many land regions—amplifying changes to temperature, precipitation and wildfire risk.

These are the findings of a new study funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the U.S. Department of Energy and published in Geophysical Research Letters, a journal of the American Geophysical Union. The researchers found, for example, that the increased wildfire danger in the Southwest United States associated with La Niña events would become more acute. Conversely, cooler and wetter weather in the same region, when associated with El Niño events, would likely become even cooler and even wetter in the future, enhancing flood risks. "The cycling between El Niño and La Niña is responsible for some of the weather whiplash we get from year to year, particularly in the Western U.S.," said National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) scientist John Fasullo, who led the study. "What we find when we look at model simulations of the future is that the whiplash is likely to get more severe." NCAR, which is funded by NSF, is a research and development center in Boulder, Colorado, whose mission is to study the behavior of Earth's atmosphere and the geospace system. Study co-authors include Bette Otto-Bliesner, also of NCAR, and Samantha Stevenson of the University of California, Santa Barbara. "These simulations show that the continuous rising of global mean temperature will leave regions of the U.S., including California, more vulnerable to severe droughts and widespread wildfires in the future, especially during La Niña years," said Ming Cai, a program officer in NSF's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences. El Niño events are characterized by warmer-than-average sea surface temperatures in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. La Niña events, on the other hand, are defined by cooler-than-average waters in the same region. The phenomena can influence weather patterns globally, with far-reaching consequences, including changes to crop yields, fire risk and the heating and cooling demands of homes, workplaces and other buildings. The impacts of El Niño and La Niña are particularly pronounced over North America's southern tier, South America and Australia. El Niño tends to cause cooler, wetter weather over the southern U.S., but hotter, drier weather across most of Australia and South America. Climate model simulations have been divided in their portrayal of how climate change will influence the sea surface temperature changes of El Niño and La Niña. For this study, the scientists were able to remove that effect and look at what the impact of these individual events would be. The research team relied on two extensive sets of simulations, one created using the NCAR-based Community Earth System Model (CESM) and one created using the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory Earth System Model. Each model was run dozens of times with slightly different starting conditions. Taken together, the large number of model simulations allowed the scientists to distinguish effects linked with El Niño and La Niña. The scientists looked at how current impacts tied to, for example, a 1-degree Celsius sea surface temperature increase during an El Niño or similar decrease during La Niña, compared to the effects of that same variation at the end of this century. In addition to temperature and precipitation, the researchers looked at changes in wildfire risk. This component took into account the biomass (area of trees and other vegetation) available for burning, along with the influences of temperature and moisture. The result was that these impacts became more severe in several land regions. For example, seasonal heat extremes in the southern half of the U.S. during a La Niña like the one that occurred in 2011 would be about 30 percent greater if they occurred at the end of the century. "We can't say from this study whether more or fewer El Niños will form in the future, or whether the El Niños that do form will be stronger or weaker," Fasullo said. "But we can say that an El Niño that forms in the future is likely to have more influence over our weather than if the same El Niño formed today."

Water levels continue to drop at Lake Mead, Lake Powell

By THE SENTINEL - September 3, 2018

PHOENIX | Water levels at Lake Mead and Lake Powell are dropping to dangerous levels, reflecting the Colorado River’s worsening “structural deficit,” scientists said. Scientists from the Colorado River Research Group said Lake Powell has declined because of extra water releases flowing into Lake Mead, the Arizona Republic reported last week. “I want people to know that what’s going on at Lake Mead is very, very closely tied to what’s going on Lake Powell,” Doug Kenney said, the group’s chair and a professor at the University of Colorado. “We’re draining Lake Powell to prop it up.” Lake Powell is about 48 percent full, and Lake Mead is about 38 percent full. By the end of the year, Powell’s levels are projected to fall 94 feet (29 meters) below where the reservoir stood in 2000 when it was nearly full. The Colorado River basin, which feeds the two reservoirs, has been drying out over the last two decades, scientists said. With the demands from farms and cities exceeding the available the water supply, the strains on the river and reservoirs are being compounded by growing population, drought and climate change. The Colorado River and its tributaries support about 40 million people and more than 7,800 square miles (20,200 square kilometers) of farmland.Continuing this operational pattern will further drain Lake Powell and erode the benefits associated with its water storage,” the researchers said their report. “If storage in Lake Powell cannot rebound in an era where the Upper Basin consumes less than two-thirds of its legal apportionment, then the crisis is already real.” The river management system allocates equal portions of the water between the four Upper Basin states and the Lower Basin states. A far lesser portion is allocated to Mexico where the river ends. “Better options might be found by thinking outside of this familiar framework. Lakes Mead and Powell, after all, are essentially one giant reservoir,” the group said. “Managing — and thinking — of these facilities as two distinct reservoirs, one for the benefit of the Upper Basin and one for the Lower, now seems outdated.” The scientists suggested it could be time to reform the management system.

NVIDIA working on technology to realise 1984-style society

Published at: 11:35, August 29, 2018 by Luis R. Miranda

Fingerprinting and face recognition technology will allow for surveillance in a hyperconnected slave grid. It is called by many, “affective computing” or the ability to easily and instantly recognize you anywhere on the planet. You are right in thinking that there is nothing new on this topic, because social media and technology companies have been at it for a long time. Except that the coming surveillance state is orders of magnitude larger than most people understand and is being sold as the next best thing since sliced bread was invented. We live submerged in the middle of the era of affective computing, experts say. It is a moment in which biometrics and applications are the basis of the latest technological developments. Facial patterns, voice, fingerprints and the iris are just some examples of biometric systems that are marking changes in sectors such as security, automotive, health or government administration. The biometrics market in the US alone will reach 7.2 billion dollars by 2020. In the next few years, the mobile biometric market will have surpassed 50 billion in annual revenues, according to the market intelligence data of Acuity. Its diverse applications have led the biometric market to experience a considerable boom and become the focus of companies around the world, especially if we talk about facial recognition. Among these companies are Nvidia and AnyVision, both well-known multinationals in the technology sector. They have partnered to create a facial recognition system that can be integrated into surveillance cameras to create “smart cities”. The Australian Immigration Minister launched the Non-Contact Travelers project to offer visitors an automated authorization process. A few days ago, the news leapt that at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games a facial recognition system will be implemented to identify the participants, staff members and the press. What all of this technology lacks is supervision, since it is controlled by technology giants or powerful governments. Choose your poison. It is extraordinary to see how the press discovers and writes about the advancement of computer biometrics, but journalism also has the potential to produce these techniques within its scope. Right now, the Wall Street Journal is using this technology as well as AI to write news articles. News media are now considering facial recognition as a tool to offer “better content” to subscribers by using facial emotions and track eye movement to customise the news. Through the detection of emotions through facial parameters and eye tracking, Gemma García, a researcher in affective computing, was able to learn what readers experience in the face of real news about the problem of plastic in the oceans. With this system it was possible to track real-time emotions that are expressed as they progressed in reading, what words were more or less attractive and, above all, she was aware of the impact that some issues had on the reader. To journalists like me, mass media have the job of informing, but they seem to be getting into a field that goes beyond their business. Journalism, like other sectors, could benefit greatly from this technology, and so would marketing. Spying on readers in real time would allow corporations to know more about readers and followers to achieve a premeditated impact that would go beyond informing and into the field of mass manipulation. In branches such as political communication, biometrics can be applied to the analysis of electoral discourses. Candidates could be coached, in real time, about the reaction that their rhetoric is having on the audience so his speech could be modified to make him appear more palatable, for example. Mas media can use that information to analyze the coherence of their message and offer new approaches that could easily help manipulate public opinion more than they already do. “There are certain large issues in which you can help a lot to know that the person in front of us is lying,” says Garcia. “And if we talk about content, the opportunities are multiplied: knowing if a news provoke the emotion we seek, knowing if it is a cause holder or, simply, being aware that a topic is interesting for readers is very important,” she adds. As in many other aspects of life, technology is neutral. It is those who use it to their advantage the ones who make it bad or good. In this case, mass media corporations have demonstrated their lack of care for their readers by attempting to sway them into dark information corners. Now, they have the ability to do just that in real time to an even less informed public.

Antifa Terrorists Forming 'Red Army': Call For Civil War - Quote Biggest Mass Murderer Of 20th Century As If He Were A Saint

- Deep State Tools Also Call For Conservatives To Be 'Bombarded From All Sides'

By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die September 4, 2018

Two very important stories came across our radar this weekend that led to this story. In the first from Spiked-Online titled "Now We Know: The 'Resistance' Is The Establishment", they perfectly illustrate for us America's present day situation where people like Barack Obama, Hillary and Bill Clinton and George Bush endlessly trash talk President Trump at John McCain's funeral (finally!) while considering themselves 'the resistance' according to this New Yorker story. Yet going back decades, they were THE establishment! The second story, which ties in perfectly with the first, from The Truth About Guns, was titled "The Violent Left Says They Want A Civil War: Antifa Forming A 'Red Army'" within which they take a look at one possible glimpse of the future with one group that has sprung up that is supporting the Obama/Bush/Clinton establishment actually having the nerve to call themselves 'anti-fascists' when they resort to fascist tactics to silence their critics. And as the Truth About Guns story tells us, now they're arming up for war. The Truth About Guns story references this story over at Red Guards Austin titled "Oppose The Counterfeits: Antifa Must Take On A Paramilitary Character!" which argues: Let’s look at the event from a military perspective. Many from the right-wing side, including the fascists, were well armed and equipped. While this makes them dangerous, their tactical strength is overshadowed by their strategic weakness. All their weapons and their fighting condition mean absolutely nothing without support from the broad masses of people. Regardless of their current lack of popularity a fascist populist movement is still a threat and backward elements of society are moved to become fascists during economic crisis. This is the main reason why we oppose fascist’s presence or any attempts on their part to organize. Our principle is that when you go against a class enemy you hit him—that if you do not hit him he will not fall. The fact that no fascists were harmed in the making of this “counter-protest” only proves that the main organizers have no stomach for antifascism—for us antifascism is concrete—it does not mean simply voicing a disagreement it means stopping fascists in their tracks and hurting their efforts to the point where they stop organizing. On the basis of our principled united front work, fascists and their collaborators can be drowned out, run out, routed, beaten bloody, and even annihilated. These are our principles and we aim to hold them to the very finish. If you think the remarks from the Red Guard Austin, Texas sound just like something a fascist would do, attempting to silence their opposition by using force, you're not the only one. And as we see from the next excerpt below taken from the 'antifa' story, they actually reference Mao Zedong who carried out a mass genocide upon tens of millions, killing landlords and redistributing land to peasants, almost just as we're seeing in South Africa today. And while none of us really like 'landlords', the fact that Zedong had nearly 20 million slaughtered, with some saying he killed more than 65 million, and antifa is referencing him as if he is some kind of saint is alarming. From their story.: What does antifascist unity look like? It is time for Austin to stand up, to shake off bad leadership trying to impose itself on antifascism and come together under a better model of actual resistance and not token performance. When we organize and lead actions the fascists do not march every step they take is met with physical confrontation and they are bombarded from all sides. We are willing to work with, and accomplish temporary unity with anyone who can be united with; we simply will not liquidate our leadership behind anti-communists, Democrats or social-democrats. Antifascism is in and of itself neither Socialist nor Communist but it must not be Anti-Communist. Communist leadership of a united front must not be liquidated. According to Chairman Mao: “Capitulationism must be strenuously opposed. When we make concessions, fall back, turn to the defensive or halt our advance in our relations with either allies or enemies, we should always see these actions as part of our whole revolutionary policy, as an indispensable link in the general revolutionary line, as one turn in a zigzag course. In a word, they are positive.” That is, our collaborations with those who genuinely wish to defeat fascism must not come at the expense of our own ability to fight fascism, or our ability to grow and expand strategically. While understanding the need for certain tactical unity against fascism we understand that antifascism is just one part of our overall revolutionary work. We will not change our color as Communists; we will not liquidate our program or allow cessation of ideological and political struggle. While we will unite first, we will not fail to criticize second. Those who are worthy of the sharpest criticism are the very same ones who frame any and all critique as a personal attack and cannot self-criticize. On September 2nd on ANP, Susan Duclos put out a story titled "What The Heck Is Going On At CNN? They Are Now Promoting Violence And Claiming Antifa Is 'Perceived As An African-American Organization,' Which Is Fake News" within which she broke down for us several different recent attempts by CNN anchor people to paint Antifa as not only an 'African American' organization but justifying antifa violence against President Trump supporters because 'antifa is on the side of what is right'. Actually going so far as to claim that there is a distinction between violence carried out by antifa and that carried out by President Trump supporters, we get an outstanding breakdown of CNN's attempt to justify antifa violence against law-abiding President Trump supporters in the first video below. Mixing clips from a recent CNN show segment in which they attempted to 'normalize' antifa violence against so-called 'white supremacists' by claiming 'fascism' must be stopped now with many antifa members claiming violence is absolutely necessary to do so, as Susan pointed out within her story, CNN and the mainstream media rarely report upon white antifa violence carried out upon black or gay President Trump supporters because that would destroy their narrative. Yet as our videographer tells us within his video, if we continue along the same track that we are on, with more and more members of antifa calling for arming up and violent resistance, there may be nothing that can stop a civil war from breaking out in this country in the months or year ahead. And as our videographer tells us, that may be exactly what 'the resistance' at the top, Obama, Clinton, and the Democratic party, want and need, to get rid of President Trump and bring back their slowly crumbling 'new world order'. With antifa and 'the resistance' quite literally backing the outgoing establishment as the previously mentioned Spiked-Online story reports, must it also be true that Conservatives are the new 'counter culture' as Paul Joseph Watson from Infowars has argued and Canada Free Press reported within this February of 2017 story? So we'll close with this excerpt from the Spiked-Online story.: So now we know what ‘the resistance’ really is. It’s the establishment. It’s the old political order. It’s that late 20th-century political set, those out-of-touch managerial elites, who still cannot believe the electorate rejected them. That is the take-home message of the bizarre political spectacle that was the burial of John McCain, where this neocon in life has been transformed into a resistance leader in death: that while the anti-Trump movement might doll itself up as rebellious, and even borrow its name from those who resisted fascism in Europe in the mid 20th-century, in truth it is primarily about restoring the apparently cool, expert-driven rule of the old elites over what is viewed as the chaos of the populist Trump / Brexit era. The response to McCain’s death has bordered on the surreal. The strangest aspect has been the self-conscious rebranding of McCain as a searing rebel. In death, this key establishment figure in the Republican Party, this military officer, senator, presidential candidate and enthusiastic backer of the exercise of US military power overseas, has been reimagined as a plucky battler for all that is good against a wicked, overbearing political machine. ‘John McCain’s funeral was the biggest resistance meeting yet’, said a headline in the New Yorker, alongside a photo of George W Bush, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, and soldiers from the US Army, the most powerful military machine on Earth. This is ‘the resistance’ now: the former holders of extraordinary power, the invaders of foreign nations, the Washington establishment. In the 2nd and final video below, our videographer takes a long look at antifa, their fascist tactics and what he believes is their overall purpose, to destroy anything related to Western civilization, with many antifa clearly not understanding that what they're doing is the work of fascists and the outgoing establishment.

As Americans prepare for the 17th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, nearly 10,000 first responders and New York City residents have reported 9/11-related cancers.

By Derrick Broze

In early August the New York Post reported on newly released numbers of reported 9/11 related illnesses, including 9,795 total case of 9/11-related cancer. The numbers were released by the federally funded World Trade Center Health Program. According to the program there have been more than 400 documented cases of death from 9/11-related cancers. However, unfortunately, the plight of the men and women who rushed into “Ground Zero” on September 11, 2001 and the following months is often forgotten in the public conversation. Seventeen years after the attacks the first responders are still fighting for their lives. [do_widget id=text-48] On Thursday the Los Angeles Times reported 15 FBI agents have died from cancers linked to exposure to various toxins during investigation and cleanup of the wreckage. The Times notes that three FBI agents have died since March. In addition, News 12 in Westchester reports that Kathleen O’Connor, a 20-year veteran with the New Rochelle Police Department, recently died from a 9/11-related illness. WECT News reports that retired NYPD detective Chuck McLiverty lives with skin allergies and a crushed hand due to his role as a first responder. The former detective spent nearly every day for six months working 12-hour shifts, often without breathing protection. “We may make light of it, joke about it, but you’re always just wondering, am I next? Or is the guy or girl sitting next to, are they a walking time bomb that’s going to explode? You get tired of going to funerals,” McLiverty told WECT. “All you could see for miles and miles was big plumes of black, billowing smoke. All you could see was stuff falling down, out of the air. The air was so thick, it’s like you could wave your hand, like being in a snow storm.” The New York Daily News also recently announced the death of retired firefighter Michael McDonald who died from lung and brain cancer from 9/11 cleanup efforts. McDonald’s entire career was spent at Ladder 128 in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. With his death he comes the 181st member of the FDNY to die from 9/11-related illnesses. The NY Daily notes that this is more than half of the 343 FDNY members killed during the collapse of the twin towers on September 11, 2001. An NYPD spokesman told the Daily that 185 city cops have died of illnesses connected to their time as first responders. Each of these stories offer a small glimpse into the everyday reality of these first responders. They are literally watching their friends and associates die around them while the American people pay little attention. How did this happen? How did we get to the point where nearly 10,000 people who risked their lives to help others are now waiting to die from cancer? FLASHBACK: U.S. Government Lies About Air Quality & Safety One week after the 9/11 attacks the Environmental Protection Agency’s Administrator Christine Todd Whitman released a statement declaring the air and water surrounding Ground Zero to be safe to breathe and drink. Given the scope of the tragedy from last week, I am glad to reassure the people of New York and Washington, D.C. that their air is safe to breathe and their water is safe to drink. Since that time firefighters, EMTs, police officers, and volunteers who remained at Ground Zero looking for survivors and bodies have found themselves falling victim to breathing illnesses, cancer, and other sicknesses likely related to inhaling dust consisting of building materials, computers, and human bodies. Truthstream Media reported on the situation: Back in May 2007, a Congressional investigation was launched into the EPA’s role in properly responding to the environmental crisis and air quality emergency in the immediate wake of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center. Former EPA commissioner Christine Todd Whitman refused to testify – despite the fact that her statements on air quality after 9/11 had immediately affected hundreds of thousands of rescue workers and New York residents, and more broadly millions – until she was pressured under threat of subpoena by Congressman Jerrold Nadler(D-NY) whose district includes lower Manhattan. However, she was officially cleared of any wrongdoing, and defeated multiple lawsuits. Congress for its part, did pass the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, which is designed to provide medical services and compensation for first responders. However, critics say the government is not doing enough to help those who volunteered their livelihood in the wake of the largest terror attack on American soil. If these brave men and women chose to put themselves in harms way based on a lie, that needs to be investigated and those responsible held accountable. In less than two weeks the corporate media and conniving politicians will put on their “Never Forget” pins and release the obligatory condolences to the family members of the 9/11 victims. There will be TV specials and special edition magazines and newspapers to commemorate the terror attack. But will these displays pay tribute or raise awareness about the plight of the first responders? Will these photo ops actually question the official story of 9/11? If the answer is no, if the American public is still not ready to challenge the establishment lies surrounding September 11, 2001, then we have moved no closer to truth and these men and women are dying in vain. On the 17th anniversary of 9/11 remember to question the official story. http://www.theconsciousresistance.com  Derrick Broze is an activist, investigative journalist, public speaker, and author based in Houston, Texas.

‘Five Eyes’ governments call on tech giants to build encryption backdoors — or else

Zack Whittaker@zackwhittaker / Sep 3, 2018

A pact of five nation states dedicated to a global “collect it all” surveillance mission has issued a memo calling on their governments to demand tech companies build backdoor access to their users’ encrypted data — or face measures to force companies to comply. The international pact — the US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, known as the so-called “Five Eyes” group of nations — quietly issued the memo last week demanding that providers “create customized solutions, tailored to their individual system architectures that are capable of meeting lawful access requirements.” This kind of backdoor access would allow each government access to encrypted call and message data on their citizens. If the companies don’t voluntarily allow access, the nations threatened to push through new legislation that would compel their help. “Should governments continue to encounter impediments to lawful access to information necessary to aid the protection of the citizens of our countries, we may pursue technological, enforcement, legislative or other measures to achieve lawful access solutions,” read the memo, issued by the Australian government on behalf of the pact. It’s the latest move in an ongoing aggression by the group of governments, which met in Australia last week. The Five Eyes pact was born to collect and share intelligence across the five countries, using each nations’ diplomatic power and strategic locations as chokepoints to gather the rest of the world’s communications. Since the Edward Snowden disclosures in 2013, tech companies have doubled down on their efforts to shut out government’s lawful access to data with encryption. By using end-to-end encryption — where the data is scrambled from one device to another — even the tech companies can’t read their users’ messages. Without access, law enforcement has extensively lobbied against companies using end-to-end encryption, claiming it hinders criminal investigations. Security researchers and other critics of encryption backdoors have long said there’s no mathematical or workable way to create a “secure backdoor” that isn’t also susceptible to attack by hackers, and widely derided any backdoor effort. In 2016, rhetoric turned to action when the FBI launched a lawsuit to force Apple to force the company to build a tool to bypass the encryption in an iPhone used by the San Bernardino shooter, who killed 14 people in a terrorist attack months earlier. The FBI dropped the case after it found hackers able to break into the phone. But last month, the US government renewed its effort to set legal precedent by targeting Facebook Messenger’s end-to-end encryption. The case, filed under sealed, aims to break the encryption on the messaging app to wiretap conversations on suspected criminals. It’s not the first time the Five Eyes nations have called for encryption backdoors. An Australian government memo last year called for action against unbreakable encryption. Although the UK’s more recent intelligence laws have been interpreted as allowing the government to compel companies to break their own encryption, wider legal efforts across the other member states have failed to pass.

Profiles in Treason: Robert Mueller - The Long History Of This Crooked Cop Shows Corruption Years Before His 9/11 Cover-up

- And Remember, Mueller Had All Mention Of Islam Purged From FBI Terror Training Manuals!

By John C. Velisek USN Retired - All News Pipeline September 4, 2018

(ANP: This is part 6 in this 'profiles in treason' series by retired US Navy Patriot John Velisek. Part 1 on John Brennan can be found here. Part 2 on James Clapper can be found here. Part 3 on James Comey can be found here. Part 4 on Comey's role in the Hillary Clinton cover-up can be found here. And part 5 on Bruce and Nellie Ohr can be found here.) Another Deep State proponent that has created havoc over the past two years is Robert Swan Mueller III. An impressive name for the present Special council whose sole purpose is to do whatever is possible to take down Donald Trump. He works tirelessly, but not for the truth that the American people need to know, but for the opportunity of impeachment of our sitting President. It is an investigation looking for a crime where none exists based on a dossier that was never verified or corroborated and was used to lie to the FISA court without any hearings on its validity. Mueller has issued indictments on Russians without even knowing their names. Let’s look at some of the histories of this Special Counsel that the Democrat progressive socialists have called beyond reproach. The media and establishment RINOS have assisted in building up Mueller, claiming he is highly competent and fair. Nothing is further from the truth. In 1979, this paragon of virtue prosecuted 18 San Francisco Hells Angels as drug runners. What was considered a “slam-dunk” case lost 13 convictions and the five convictions he received were overturned on appeal? The cases were so badly prepared that there were not any convictions on appeal by the prosecutor that replaced Mueller. From San Francisco, Mueller scurried off to Boston, where he bungled the case of an East German accused of theft of nuclear secrets. It was also in Boston where Mueller hired mob boss Whitey Bulger as an informant. Horrific crimes performed by Whitey Bulger and his henchmen were covered up by the FBI handle John Connolly with the acquiescence of Mueller. Instead, Mueller charged four innocent men for the crimes that Bulgers mob committed. All four were later exonerated and the families awarded $100 million of taxpayer money. During the trial Mueller was found to have suppressed evidence clearing the four victims, bringing forward false information and was not indicted because of Deep State cronies in the Federal Justice system. This is also the same Robert Mueller that falsely accused virologist Steve Hatfield during the Anthrax virus scare. Mueller once again withheld evidence. Hatfield sued and was awarded $5.8 million of taxpayer money. It was the same Mueller who also claimed it was too dangerous to go to Benghazi after our ambassador and four brave men were killed, but could not explain to Rep. Trey Gowdy why it was safe for our diplomats. Perhaps it made following the Obama lies of a video causing this tragedy was easier by this explanation. It took Rep. Gowdy’s question as a rhetorical comment not suitable for an answer. I would think the families of those killed would demand an answer. It was this very same Mueller that worked with various Islamic organizations to rid FBI training manuals of any mention of jihad and terrorism. Meeting in secret and exposed afterward by Judicial Watch, Mueller met with groups such as CAIR and INSA and other terrorist-connected organizations. Mueller gave in to every demand from these groups to effectively ban the terrorist training that our agents in the field urgently needed. This is also the Same Robert Mueller who worked to block the 9/11 victims families from suing Saudi Arabia for being the masterminds behind the attack on 9/11. So with this as a background is it any wonder that Mueller allowed his pit-bull Andrew Weisman to break into Paul Manafort’s home at 4 am, roughed up the entire family including the wife who was still in bed, illegally stole attorney-client privileged information and personal documents in violation of the Fourth Amendment. Robert Mueller has a history only partially shown above of having the capability of using virtually false evidence and heavy-handed fabricated evidence to ensnare those the Deep State needs to be damaged and jailed. The amount of failure of Mueller would get any lesser attorney fired, but being a Deep State operative, Mueller is shielded and allowed to move even further up the Deep State organizational chart. Mueller worked his way as far as being made FBI Director. This was not a position based on his fine performance in his duties before his promotion, but because Mueller is malleable, and is able to be controlled by those in the Deep State. This is the man that the progressive socialists, the sycophants in the media who play the lapdogs of the Deep State, RINOs and Never Trumpers want us to believe. They have yet to explain how Donald Trump, who according to leftist snowflakes, is a Nazi and not intelligent enough to be our President had the capability to collude with “the Russians” in such a sophisticated way that even our intelligence agencies can’t figure out how he did it. Of course, it is a little difficult to understand how the Justice Department will ever figure it out when they never even took charge of the Democrat server, a server that has now vanished, but allows Mueller and his pack of progressive socialist wolves to claim the Russians hacked it with no evidence. Even going as far as allowing Bruce Ohr, a DOJ careerist with no connection to the Russian investigation to continue to correspond with the disgraced and fired Christopher Steele and continue to use this information, fits the parameters of the poor work that Mueller had done in the past. Christopher Steele texted to Ohr about his Special Council colleagues which appears to put Mueller in the cabal of Strozk, Comey, Page, and McCabe, who have all been fired, who were tasked with taking down the President. Why has the media hidden the verifiable fact the RNC was hacked in June of 2016, the month before John Podesta was phished for information and the DNC was hacked. Why hasn’t the Justice Department made this fact known or investigated the RNC hacking with the same zeal they are tirelessly working and leaking about the DNC hack? It could be the hackers were part of a plot to swing the election to Hillary and assist in covering up the fact the Hillary as Secretary of State gave 20% of the uranium of our country to the Russians for a $110 million contribution to the Clinton Foundation. The Clintons kept 96% of this “contribution”. In 2009, it was Hillary Clinton who directed then FBI Director Robert Mueller to deliver a Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU) sample to Russia. A cable was sent from Hillary to John Beryle, the U.S. Ambassador to Russia on August 17th, 2009. The cable that was sent read, in part: “Action Request Embassy Moscow is requested to alert at the highest appropriate level the Russian Federation that the FBI Director Mueller plans the deliver the HEU sample once he arrives in Moscow on September 21st. The story on this cable was made available on the very same day the Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appointed Robert Mueller as Special Council, effectively ending any further investigation of this issue. There are those who have worked with Mueller who understand more than most what the incompetence of Mueller has done to the organization. There are those prepared to testify that Mueller committed perjury in relation to the off the books surveillance of American citizens. There are some willing to testify how Mueller forced agents to end investigations into terrorist organizations. There are many people assisting Mueller in this hoax of an investigation. There are employees throughout our government from the FBI and DOJ to the State Department and Obama holdovers in all branches including the CIA who are complicit in this process of framing Trump. Mainstream media is cheerleading this effort and refuse the truth that is facing them and is already understood by the American people. The tell lies, distort facts and even make things up to do damage to our country and our President. Mueller has turned this investigation into a partisan open-ended hate-fest directed at our President and advanced by the media, the progressive socialists, and the Deep State. It looks to pressure witnesses to bend to its will, threatening or trying to charge family members and using the legal force of the government to bankrupt American citizens it deems necessary to be silenced.  (ANP: You can see the letter referenced in the video below from Congressman Louie Gohmert here.)

DOJ Blows Whistle on MUELLER; Illegally Threatened Flynn with New Indictment & Prison for Helping GOP Candidates

Posted on September 4, 2018 by admin

Justice Department officials are blowing the whistle on U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller. Now we know why Mueller has continually delayed Mike Flynn’s sentencing: To silence the retired General and keep the influential Conservative out of politics and the crucial midterm elections. In May, President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser Flynn canceled a campaign appearance in Montana for Republican U.S. Senate candidate Troy Downing. Flynn cited an unspecified “family emergency,” as the reason for scrapping the appearance. But that family ’emergency,’ according to well-placed sources in the Justice Department, was sparked by Mueller and his team’s illegal threats to indict Flynn — a second time — for obstruction of justice. What was Flynn’s supposed crime? Endorsing and campaigning for GOP candidates politically aligned with Trump. Flynn had just endorsed Congressional hopeful Omar Navarro in California and he planned to remain active in the run up to the 2018 midterms before Mueller illegally threatened the retired Army general, official said. “Mueller threatened Flynn with new charges and prison time,” one Justice Department source said. “He claimed Flynn was trying to elect Trump-like candidates to secure himself a (trump presidential) pardon. The tactics don’t sit very well with many (prosecutors) at Justice.” That’s because Mueller’s tact was almost as absurd as it was illegal, according to Justice Department insiders who are now stepping forward to blow the whistle on the Special Counsel’s office. The Special Counsel and his team have violated laws that far exceed the scope and range of the crime Flynn has plead guilty to. “Just because you plead out to a felony does not mean you forfeit your Constitutional rights,” one Justice source said. “Mueller is abusing his position and manipulating Flynn.” Flynn has plead out to a charge of lying to the FBI and awaits sentencing, which has been postponed by Mueller several times with little or no explanation. But Flynn’s plans to campaign for GOP incumbents and newcomers in the 2018 election had also — again illegally — been sidelined by Mueller. And that type of tampering, coercion and suppression is very illegal — breaching several federal laws — per federal statutes and Justice Department officials. “Mueller has broken laws here,” one FBI official said, noting the breached laws dwarf Flynn’s offense. “These are felonies. His office should be investigated.” What felonies did Mueller and his cohorts shatter? Per the Justice Department and well-placed DOJ officials, certain election-related felonies apply but certainly tenets of witness tampering and coercion, wire fraud could apply among other violations, officials said. Coercion of political activity 18 U.S.C. § 610 is an anti-intimidation statute enacted to provide additional protections against political manipulation of the federal workforce. The statute makes it a crime to intimidate, threaten, command, or coerce any employee of the executive branch to induce the victim to engage or not engage in any political activity. Mueller is empowered by and under the federal umbrella of the executive branch, as are his team members. The statute also prohibits attempts to intimidate and coerce and it applies to all elections –  federal, state, and local. Violations of Section 610 are punishable by imprisonment for up to three years. Section 610 expressly includes within the broad phrase “any political activity” any conduct that relates to voting, to contributing, or to campaigning. Specifically, Section 610 provides that “any political activity” includes, but is not limited to: (1) voting or not voting for any candidate in any election; (2) making or refusing to make any political contribution; and (3) working or refusing to work on behalf of any candidate. The statute thus encompasses intimidation directed at inducing any form of political action. DOJ sources also point out likely violations by the Special Counsel for conspiracy against rights and deprivation of constitutional rights: 18 U.S.C. §§ 241 and 242. Section 241 makes it a ten-year felony to “conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate” any person in the free exercise of any right or privilege secured by the Constitution or laws of the United States” – including the right to vote. The statute covers a conspiracy to misuse state authority to prevent qualified voters from voting for any candidate in any election. In a nutshell, that’s textbook voter suppression. And while there is no federal criminal statute that directly prohibits voter suppression, the conspiracy against rights statute has been successfully used to prosecute voting-related conspiracies, according to the DOJ. And while not as widely applied, the statue addressing intimidation of voters: 18 U.S.C. § 594 prohibits intimidating, threatening, or coercing anyone, or attempting to do so, for the purpose of interfering with an individual’s right to vote or not vote in any election held solely or in part to elect a federal candidate. The operative words in Section 594 are “intimidates,” “threatens,” and “coerces.” The scienter element requires proof that the actor intended to force voters to act against their will by placing them in fear of losing something of value. The feared loss might be something tangible, such as money or economic benefits, or intangible, such as liberty or safety. “There are many statutes that could apply here, depending on the detail of the threats made by Mueller’s office,” one DOJ veteran said. “This might be something they are doing to all witnesses, you’d have to investigate it.” And Flynn’s ability to earn money. And exercise his Constitutional rights as an American. The GOP candidate in Montana, Downing, referred to Flynn as an American patriot. Downing was one of four candidates seeking the Republican nomination to challenge Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Tester. He lost. At the time of Flynn’s cancelation, Downing spokesman Kevin Gardner said the campaign would reschedule Flynn’s appearance. That, of course, never happened. Losing Flynn’s personal and endorsement in person certainly factored into Downing’s loss in the June primary. It certainly did not help. Mueller made sure of that , and in essence, politicized with the midterms by not allowing Flynn to campaign for viable GOP candidates and allow the election cycle to run a normal, unobstructed process free from Mueller’s tampering and suppression. But that likely was the entire point. But what does coercing, suppressing, threatening the voting and Constitutional rights of an American have to do with Russia any how, Mr. Mueller? You were appointed to investigate Russia, last time we checked.

How Your Constitutional Right to Privacy Just Became a "Privilege" in the Eyes of Courts

Posted on: Friday, August 31st 2018 at 10:30 am Written By: Josh del Sol Beaulieu

A Federal Appeals Court in Illinois has ruled that “smart” meters facilitate government search – but called this practice “reasonable”. This story involves a collusion between big corporations, courts and a fake-grassroots organization Sometimes, trusting the wrong people can hurt. Betrayal is one of the worst feelings. Especially when it comes to those who are supposed to be protecting you and your family's rights. Over the past couple weeks, I've been hearing from several sources about this supposed “win” against utilities pushing “smart” meters. This report, disseminated by Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), is about a recent Federal Appeals Court ruling on “smart” meter surveillance, in Naperville, Illinois. This so-called journalism by EFF is titled, “Win! Landmark Seventh Circuit Decision Says Fourth Amendment Applies to Smart Meter Data.” But having seen how it was positioned exactly polar opposite of this report from K.T. Weaver - who lives in Naperville and has been reporting independently on “smart” meter harm for several years - I needed to figure out just what the hell is going on. The title of K.T.'s article is “Federal Court Rules against Consumers on Smart Meters and Privacy Rights.” So, why are the reports so different? My "aha!" moment on EFF came when, in corresponding with K.T., he sent me this Brasscheck interview with Yasha Levine, a respected truth-teller and author of Surveillance Valley. I have been following some of Yasha's work for several years with great interest. Before we get into examining Yasha’s claim that the EFF is a giant piece of astroturf, let's dive straight into the facts of the recent court ruling on “smart” meters and privacy. This development has everything to do with our basic human rights, how legal strategies are being implemented to work against the people, and whom we can and cannot trust when seeking justice. On August 16, 2018, your 4th Amendment right to privacy in your home just became a "privilege" K.T. Weaver has a multi-year history of independently reporting the facts about “smart” meters on his website SmartGridAwareness.org. As such, we will refer primarily to his posted research and to first-hand quotes from the actual case. To start with, in 2015 a Naperville District Court had ruled that utility customers who accept a “smart” meter are deemed to have consented to privacy violations as recognized in the 4th Amendment to the Constitution. Since most utilities are extorting their own customers who do not want a “smart” meter on their home, this ruling is baseless and corrupt. Mark this as flag #1, for those of you wondering why we are not getting justice in courts. Now, on August 16, 2018, this Federal Appeals Court ruling has conceded that with “smart” meters, occupants are being subjected to a government search every 15 minutes - without their voluntary consent. But here's where it gets even more maddening. Rather than ruling against utilities right then and there, the Federal Appeals Court blatantly took direction from industry lawyers', who requested that it be determined whether the government searches are legally "reasonable". (Magicians and hypnotists love to change the focal point. Nothing to see here, folks.) From industry proponents' amicus brief submitted to the court: The reasonableness of a search under the Fourth Amendment is determined by balancing its intrusion on the individual’s Fourth Amendment interests against its promotion of legitimate governmental interests. [emphasis added] Taking the cue, the Federal Appeals Court in Naperville, Illinois assumed an initial position of advocating for the government, stating that "the government’s interest in smart meters is significant." In their analysis, the court first legitimized the false supposition that: Smart meters allow utilities to reduce costs, provide cheaper power to consumers, encourage energy efficiency, and increase grid stability. We hold that these interests render the city’s search reasonable, where the search is unrelated to law enforcement, is minimally invasive, and presents little risk of corollary criminal consequences. This perspective is patently false. Bills go up, energy usage is not reduced, and grids are made vulnerable to hacking. Those pushing “smart” meters have let it slip over and over that the purpose of “smart” meters is to collect information so invasive and granular in nature it will reap billions. And in the eyes of a senior NARUC official, “smart” meter data will “be worth a lot more than the commodity that’s being consumed to generate the data” – electricity – which is a $2.2 trillion annual enterprise. The house fires (including fatalities), health damage (from EMF and dirty electricity), and security risk to all of us are seen as just a cost of doing the data-harvesting business. And the inexplicable billing increases & “time-of-use” schemes are most definitely seen as an added benefit. The court then exposed more of its true colors:  [S]ince these searches are not performed as part of a criminal investigation, … we can turn immediately to an assessment of whether they are reasonable, ‘by balancing its intrusion on the individual’s Fourth Amendment interests against its promotion of legitimate government interests’. [emphasis added] As K.T. points out, does that language sound familiar? Then, this: [P]rivacy interest must be weighed against the government’s interest in the data collection. Utter wow. K.T. Weaver summarizes the effect of this case, going forward in the "legal" world: This Court ruling appears merely to have had the effect of advancing from the District Court opinion of 'deemed' consent for data collection to an Appeals Court opinion of 'deemed' legitimate government interest for data collection. Either way, smart meter privacy invasions continue to occur, just now as an official governmental 'search.' Do you see what just happened here? Your constitutional rights are now legally being weighed against the desires of the government. This, right here, is a marker for where your rights have officially, legally become recognized as privileges. Now you see the game that courts and industry are playing together. Setting legal precedents and creating “the new normal”. It’s just business. What the EFF? So, back to Electronic Frontier Foundation. What are they doing to protect our privacy? As Yasha Levine explains, EFF does not get involved when it comes to invasive corporate practices – only government practices. Seriously? In a time when industry own lobbyists brazenly swing through the revolving federal-agency door? When it is acknowledged by all who are paying attention that we now live under a de facto corporate rule? EFF really thinks theirs is an effective position? Apparently, they do. But sadly, their aims are much different than one would hope. One hundred eighty degrees different, as we shall see. An “astroturf” group is an attempt to fool the people by big corporations or political groups, by posing as grassroots movements to promote their own profit and power-seeking agendas. For more, see this TED Talk by former CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson. From Yasha Levine’s revelatory article on Silicon Valley and surveillance in the Baffler: Over the past years, EFF has taken millions in funds from Google and Facebook via straight donations and controversial court payouts that many see as under-the-radar contributions. Hell, Google co-founder Sergey Brin’s foundation gave EFF at least $1.2 million. But the reason for EFF’s silence on the Facebook surveillance and influence scandal goes deeper—into the business model of the internet itself, which from the outset has framed user privacy as being threatened by ever-imminent government censorship, as opposed to the protection of users and their data from wanton commercial intrusion and exploitation. Put simply, the lords of the internet care very little about user privacywhat they want to preserve, at the end of the day, is their own commercial license against the specter of government regulation of any kind. … But that’s what EFF is all about: it’s a Silicon Valley corporate front group, no different than the rest. The only thing unique about it is how successful it’s been in positioning itself as a defender of the people—so successful, in fact, that even the people who work for it believe it. The fact that EFF has been able to pull it off of for so long shows the kind of immense power that Silicon Valley wields over our political culture. When we think about technology and the Internet, there’s no left or right. There’s just Google and Facebook. Now I began to see why EFF never returned my emails before or after my film Take Back Your Power was released. Now I see why they have never got involved in the “smart” meter conversation in any tangible way... while hundreds of thousands have been trying to preserve their right to not be surveiled and irradiated in their own home through harmful metering technology. Where they could have played a leading role, EFF effectively stayed silent. The reason? I suppose it's that the EFF hasn't had such a prime opportunity to normalize corporate surveillance via “smart” met In this fresh context, here’s the full Brasscheck interview with Levine, for a deeper dive: The recent events in the Naperville Federal Appeals Court have illustrated a key tactic: the appearance of justice. The appearance of a hearing, proceeding or case to determine what is right. And the appearance of agencies working in our interest. Maybe you have experienced it at your city hall. Your gut told you they already made up their minds. Your experience told you that you were right. Another tactic used by a corporatized court system is to simply decide they won't hear a matter... to not even have an appearance at all. Like the recent tossing out of a EMF-related class-action lawsuit in Quebec. And before that, “smart” meter class actions in BC, California, and Florida. This may sound like there is no good news in the quest for justice. However, here are three bright points of light: 1. Former groundskeeper Dewayne Johnson's jury-case win against Monsanto (now Bayer) for $289 million in compensation, as the jury found that glyphosate caused his terminal cancer. It has yet to be seen if Bayer will be made to pay, as they are of course appealing the ruling. In the week following the ruling, Bayer's stock value dropped by about $18 billion. If this case sticks, it could open the floodgates to similar action. However, a win against the GMO monolith does not automatically set up a legal end to other such agendas such as vaccination harm, 5G, “smart” meters, geoengineering, water fluoridation et al. 2. What's coming to light now is a pathway to understand why such legal victories have been so few and far between. We first need to go whistleblowers within the legal profession who have dedicated their live work to expose American court corruption. See this over of “The Fraternity: Lawyers and Judges in Collusion”, written by retired Justice John F. Molloy. Another enlightening read is the free e-book "Woe Unto Your Lawyers", written in 1939, by Fred Rodell, Professor of Law at Yale University. With such insight, it appears that deep-running systemic legal corruption is not a new thing. I want to be clear that we are not anti-lawyer. There are many lawyers who are well-intentioned and seek to do to the right thing, and are in fact helping to turn the tide by even winning the occasional big case. But I want to be equally clear that systemic corruption must be rooted out and power return to the people if we are to see significant positive change. 3. If the "door" of traditional methodologies for justice is in fact closing, another may very well be opening. In the InPower episode #1 video, entitled "A Mass Action of Liability", my co-founding partner Cal Washington presents a deeper understanding that has wide-sweeping implications for all who are seeking true justice. "They’ve got you playing checkers, but they’re playing chess," states Washington, who also speaks on a myriad of topics including how senior government officials resigned; how jurisdictions actually function (think boxes within boxes); and how we can actually up-level and play the game of commerce effectively and obtain justice. Since the paradigm-shift offered by this information is perceived as threatening to some system gate-keepers, it will not be immediately accepted universally. However, it is because of that very potential that it needs to be investigated, discussed and then proliferated. We have noticed that some gate-keeping lawyers and judges will employ intimidation and even ridicule in attempt to dissuade the implementation of a commercial liability process, but then clearly demonstrate fear (or even resign) if they realize they are dealing with someone (or a group) who keeps going forward with it. In any case, let's continue to educate ourselves, with discernment pertaining to the game that industrial interests – apparently bereft of conscience – are playing to further their objectives. On the negative side, the level of harm being done in this game is very real. And so, on the positive side, we are seeing increasing signs of humanity rising to take a stand for life. Remember that the answer and the power is within you. Trust the process of it coming forward. I believe that we are being initiated at this time into bridging to a higher level of our being. As the open conspiracy continues to be unveiled and clarified to all paying attention, there is a two-part universal law that is coming into effect. This can be summarized in the following: Those who wish to enslave must give notice and disclose their plans, and The people must do nothing to effectively remove their consent. As long as we continue on the path of waking up, following our own conscience and intentionally removing our consent, enough of us will effectively rebut the claim in the upper jurisdictions that “we are going along with it”. Many of you whom are reading these words are responding to the inner call, processing fear, remembering our shared identity and coming together in new and exciting ways. Let’s help others connect the dots.

Lawmakers vote to tighten California's ties with China

By Chang Jun in San Francisco | China Daily | Updated: 2018-09-03 14:31

Eighty California State Assembly members have unanimously passed a bill to declare the legislature's support for continued coordination and collaboration between the US state and China. Authored by Assembly member Evan Low, AJR 44 reiterates the necessity and importance to "increase mutually beneficial economic opportunities and strengthen the substantial, bilateral relationship in the areas of people-to-people exchange, trade, climate change, education, tourism, technology, innovation, and green development". It also said the measure, which was passed on Thursday, would "urge the President of the United States and the Congress of the United States to support actions that further strengthen economic links between the United States, including California, and China". The Golden State remains one of the most important partners in the US to China - there are approximately 2 million Chinese and Chinese-Americans living in the state and there are more than 20 daily flights between California and major cities in China, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Xi'an, Chengdu, Wuhan and Qingdao. There are more than 20 pairs of sister cities between California and China, while both sides are actively committed to green development and have been playing positive roles in addressing climate change. China is the fifth largest source of tourists to the US, with almost 1.5 million Chinese visiting California in 2016. In 2013, California became the first state to establish trade promotion agreements with individual Chinese provinces. The Chinese government attaches great importance to friendly and cooperative relations with California, according to the bill. Last year alone, China invested $29.4 billion in the US, about $4.7 billion of which went into California. California does more business with China than any other US state. The total trade volume between California and China was $175.6 billion last year, accounting for 27.6 percent of the total US-China trade volume, according to the Committee on Jobs, Economic Development and the Economy at the California State Assembly. Serious efforts In addition, California's exports to China amounted to $16.43 billion in 2017, accounting for 12.6 percent of the total US exports to China. California has imported $159.1 billion worth of goods and services from China last year, accounting for approximately 36.1 percent of the US total imports from China. "The passage of the bill indicates that California policymakers are taking serious efforts to restore the China-US relationship back onto the right track," said Ren Faqiang, deputy consul-general at the Chinese Consulate General in San Francisco. "Numbers cited in the bill are solid facts." junechang@chinadaily.com.cn

Typhoon Jebi smashes Japan: Giant waves and 135mph winds rock the country as train station roof COLLAPSES during the worst storm in 25 years and a MILLION are told to evacuate

Typhoon Jebi hammered the country's west coast as it made landfall with violent winds of up to 135mph

PM Shinzo Abe urged people to 'evacuate early' and called for all necessary measures to protect residents

Japan's weather agency issued warnings of possible landslides, flooding, high tides, lightning and tornadoes

Evacuation advisories have been issued for more than 1.19 million people in western and central parts of Japan

By Julian Robinson for MailOnline and Afp Published: 00:07 EDT, 4 September 2018 | Updated: 20:49 EDT, 4 September 2018

A powerful typhoon slammed into western Japan on Tuesday, killing at least nine people and injuring scores of people as more than a million people were told to evacuate amid the worst storm to hit the country in 25 years. Typhoon Jebi, reportedly the strongest typhoon to make landfall in Japan since 1993, headed north across the main island of Honshu toward the Sea of Japan. Giant waves and winds of up to 135mph lashed the country, inundating the region's main international airport and blowing a tanker into a bridge, disrupting land and air travel and leaving thousands stranded. The storm hammered the west coast as it made landfall in the latest severe weather to hit the country this summer following rains, landslides, floods and record-breaking heat that killed hundreds of people. It was off the northern coast of Fukui on Tuesday evening with sustained winds of 78mph and gusts up to 110 mph, the Japan Meteorological Agency said. More than 700 flights were canceled, according to Japanese media tallies. High-speed bullet train service was suspended from Tokyo west to Hiroshima, though service partially resumed later Tuesday when the typhoon left the region. More than 1.6 million households remained without power in Osaka, Kyoto and four nearby prefectures late Tuesday, according to Kansai Electric Power Co. In Nishinomiya in Hyogo prefecture, about 100 cars at a seaside dealership were in flames after their electrical systems were shorted out by sea water, fire officials and news reports said. Dramatic video emerged showing the roof of Kyoto train station crashing down into the concourse below sending commuters sprinting for safety amid powerful gusts. Separate images show massive waves cascading over sea walls, upturned boats and debris drifting in flood water and trucks flipped onto their sides on motorways. Tides in some areas were the highest since a typhoon in 1961 with flooding covering the runways at Kansai International Airport in Osaka. The strong winds sent a 2,591-tonne tanker crashing into a bridge connecting the airport, built on a man-made island in a bay, to the mainland. The bridge was damaged but the tanker was empty and none of its crew was injured, the coast guard said. Japan's weather agency has issued warnings about possible landslides, flooding and violent winds, as well as high tides, lightning and tornadoes across western Japan including Osaka and Kyoto. Evacuation advisories were issued for 1.19 million people in western and central Japan, with another 16,000 people issued with stronger but non-mandatory evacuation orders, the fire and disaster management agency said. Hundreds of flights have been cancelled across Japan after the typhoon struck. This was the scene at Kansai International Airport today Local media reported up to six deaths in the storm, including a 71-year-old man killed in western Shiga prefecture after being trapped under a warehouse that collapsed in strong wind. Public broadcaster NHK said 97 people had been injured across the storm's path, none of them seriously. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe urged people to 'evacuate early' and ordered his government to take all necessary measures to protect residents. There were scattered reports of mild injuries as the typhoon made landfall. Television footage showed waves pounding the coastline, sheet metal tumbling across a parking lot and a truck turned on its side. People in Kobe reported on Twitter that the wind was shaking their apartment buildings and ripping branches off trees. Footage also showed a 328 ft tall ferris wheel in Osaka turning furiously in the strong wind despite being switched off. Around 3.9 ins of rain drenched one part of the tourist city of Kyoto in an hour, with as much as 20 ins set to fall in some areas in the 24 hours to noon on Wednesday. With winds of up to 100 mph at its centre, Jebi - whose name means 'swallow' in Korean - was briefly was briefly a super typhoon but it now being classed as a 'very strong' typhoon, the weather agency's chief forecaster Ryuta Kurora said. 'This is (the strongest) since 1993.' In the hours before the storm made landfall, Shikoku, one of four Japanese main islands, was already experiencing 'violent storms and the storms will get stronger and stronger,' he added. As the storm approached, Abe called a disaster response meeting and cancelled a trip to western Japan. 'I urge the Japanese people to take action to protect your lives, including preparing and evacuating early,' he said. He instructed his cabinet to 'take all measures possible'. Local media warned that the wind was strong enough to topple traditional-style wooden houses and power poles, and urged people in affected areas to avoid non-essential travel. Primary and middle schools in affected areas were closed while regional businesses also reacted quickly, with a major railway firm and Universal Studios Japan in Osaka shutting down for Tuesday. Some 177,000 customers across western Japan lost power, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry said. Toyota Motor Corp said it was canceling the night shift at 14 plants. The capital, Tokyo, will be far from the centre of the storm but was set for heavy rains and high winds by the end of Tuesday. More than 700 flights were cancelled, including several international flights departing and arriving at Nagoya and Osaka, along with ferries. Shinkansen bullet train services between Tokyo and Hiroshima were suspended and Universal Studios Japan, a popular amusement park near Osaka, was closed. Jebi has a similar trajectory to Typhoon Cimaron, which made landfall on August 23, disrupting transport links but causing limited damage and few injuries. Japan is currently in its annual typhoon season, and is regularly struck by major storm systems during the summer and autumn. The country has been sweating through a record deadly heatwave that followed devastating rain in parts of central and western Japan that killed over 200 people. The sustained rain caused widespread flooding and landslides in July, devastating entire villages and forcing thousands from their homes. The flooding and landslides proved so deadly in part because many people did not heed evacuation advisories, which are not mandatory. Since the disaster, authorities have urged people to take evacuation warnings more seriously and prepare to evacuate immediately when the warnings are issued.

Chinese Imperialism Threatens to Pull the World Into World War III

In yesterday’s article, I referenced Pastor Abri Brancken. He saw the early warning signs of the coming white genocide in South Africa and left for a safe haven in New Zealand. Pastor Brancken contacted me two days ago with news releases that declared that the Chinese are in South Africa and have placed surface to air missiles in a neighboring country. This represents the undeniable fact that the Chinese are in Africa, all of Africa, and are seeking natural resources from this continent and they are using their military to procure these resources. This is exactly what Japan did prior to WW II as they swept through Asia acquiring needed resources required for industrialization. The Chinese are an example of history repeating itself. These events were being reported in the South African media. It would be a gross understatement to say that we are a on path to World War III. At first glance, the gun confiscation, the farm land confiscation of land owned by whites and the coming white genocide appeared to be simple revenge in response to the long-time policies of Apartheid. However, and as we know, the root of all evil is the love of money. And money is what is driving these events in South Africa. Pastor Brancken contacted me again, last night, and had more details about the Chinese incursion into South Africa. Hello Dave. …I was right. There is much more behind the white farm confiscations than what meets the eye. China is behind it! An article just broke in a credible SA news agency (Maroela Media –www.maroelamedia.co.za) that the reason why the ANC government is “stealing” the first two farms is not for agricultural reasons. It is for the minerals, coal to be specific. It will go to the Chinese. The farms are game farms, you cannot do agricultural farming there, meaning that the confiscation of the first farm is not to produce food or to enable new black farmers to learn about agricultural farming. It is used for high end game hunting. China is moving into Southern Africa for the fertile quality of agricultural land in order to produce food for China and for the natural resources, gold, diamonds and coal. That is why they are placing surface to air missiles in Zimbabwe. What do they fear? Southern Africa is not exactly the best and most advanced when it comes to air forces. No Southern Africa country will strike them. Are they expecting a greater power to counter their moves? USA? The Communist ANC is fulfilling the wishes of the communist Chinese. Blessings, Abri Brancken

More Than Just Africa This is not just a Chinese phenomenon in Africa. Please consider, as examples, the many examples of Chinese incursions into the United States. At this point, it is important to connect some dots. Reflecting back on a phrase in Pastor Brancken’s email, he stated: “China is moving into Southern Africa for the fertile quality of agricultural land in order to produce food for China”. This is the same CALEXIT strategy being employed by the Chinese in California, and yes, people like Paul Preston have identified an active Chinese presence in the CALEXIT movement. In great numbers, California farmers have been forced off of their land by a combination of EPA and California state regulations (eg San Joaquin Valley denial of irrigation water to ostensibly done to protect a 2 inch smelt fish.). Now that the damage has been done, water is being returned to many of the impacted areas. And guess who facilitated the buy-up of these distressed farms and ranches? It was none other than Richard Blum! Who is Richard Blum? He is the husband of Senator Dianne Feinstein. Blum has been busy moving Chinese nationals into these distressed properties all over California. Senator Feinstein recently had a Chinese spy outed that had been “unknowingly” embedded on her staff for two decades. Again, are you connecting the dots yet? These repossessed California farmlands are resold to Chinese interests and the food is being sent to China. This is precisely what we are seeing unfold in South Africa. Same Chinese strategy, different country. This is abject treason! However, on a larger scale, this is more detail and more proof which represents the embedding of Chinese nationals on American soil, presumably for some future call-to-arms-action. Please allow me to remind our audience that Paul Preston identified on The Common Sense Show that several California and Oregon radio stations broadcast Chinese code late at night and the owners of these stations are Bay Area high tech moguls. Again, connect the dots. I repeat for the purpose of emphasis, this strategy being revealed here represents a global Chinese strategy. We are merely seeing it first in South Africa and California. Wait a minute, we are seeing this in many more places than California and South Africa. Since I have started covering this topic, in earnest, in the past two weeks, I have received numerous emails from people who are witnessing the same all over the country. In some cases, the Chinese are bringing in personnel to work in a Chinese restaurant, then the entire staff is changed out overnight. Where did the former Chinese go? This is happening in Florida. From Edmonton, Alberta: Dave,  I just watched a Lisa Haven YouTube video where you were speaking about China. I am a Canadian living in Edmonton, Alberta. I have recently noticed a serious uptick of Chinese people living in Edmonton and as for the ones moving into my neighbourhood, they are not warm at all. A Chinese couple bought the house next door and being a Christian I chose to love my neighbour. A long story short, I had suspicions about the husband being involved in corporate espionage and when I voiced that to my wife, they announce they are moving. Now there are other Chinese people next door. My gut says all of these people are Chinese Nationals and not aspiring to be future Canadian Patriots. I know comments like this can raise suspicion and I assure you I am in no way a racist. I loved these people, taught them how to shovel their sidewalks, cut their lawn’s, and unclog their drains. It doesn’t change the fact that my gut was still sensing something is amiss. This is the video that referenced Lisa Haven’s recent interview with me. From Littleton, Colorado: Just listened to Lisa Haven’s YouTube where you were discussing the potential for a “Red Dawn” style attack in the US with Chinese troops.  I live in Littleton, Colorado; where our only notoriety was the shooting at Columbine High School. Otherwise we are just an average suburban community. A bit of the front story. The house next door is a rental and I was speaking with the owner about her plans for the house. She had spoken with a realtor who advised her to hold on to it for another year as property values in the area were still rising. The realtor also mentioned that the Chinese had been buying property in the southern part of Denver.  Did not think anything of the comment as that has been made in cities along the west coast and the Chinese want safe investments. Fast forward to this evening after listening your YouTube podcast I am being to rethink these going on’s. Just something to add to you files. From Stockton, California: Dear Dave, Thanks for all you do. In reference to your many articles on the so-called Chinese invasion, I have something to add. I have personally seen Chinese coming in buses into my neighborhood. They offload 20-30 and they are going into homes that are for sale. When I was driving a few miles from my house, I saw the same exact thing going on. A couple of my neighbors have commented to me on the same thing. I mean how common is it to have a busload of Chinese touring a house that is for sale and they are traveling together by bus? There is something seriously wrong. Because I live in the are where this is happening, I am afraid and would ask that you not mention my name. I am 77 and have no way to protect myself. Conclusion This Chinese inspired threat is global. The Red Dawn invasion potential is only a small part of the Chinese global plot to greatly expand their influence. I grow weary of the cognitive dissonance crowd and the deniers of these facts. Every time, I write an article regarding this threat, literally dozen or more people come out of the woodwork and present more details which help up us to connect the dots. If I can connect these dots and provide witnesses to the Chinese threat, then surely our present administration and their bureaucracies know about this threat as well. We understand that Governor Jerry Brown and Dianne Feinstein and her husband are complicit, but it strongly appears that many in our government are working to take down this country, either by complicit silence, or active involvement.

U.S. Will Respond "Swiftly" If Assad Uses Chemical Weapons: White House

by Tyler Durden Tue, 09/04/2018 - 14:17

update: The White House has issued a statement Tuesday afternoon after Russia is reported to have begun a bombing campaign over Idlib Province earlier in the day. The United States warns it will "respond swiftly and appropriately" if Syrian government forces use chemical weapons during their Idlib operations. According to the statement: "President Donald J. Trump has warned that such an attack would be a reckless escalation of an already tragic conflict and would risk the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. Let us be clear, it remains our firm stance that if President Bashar al-Assad chooses to again use chemical weapons, the United States and its Allies will respond swiftly and appropriately." Joyce Karam @Joyce_Karam US ups language, warns against any assault by #Syria regime, Iran and Russia in Idlib. Statement: 2:03 PM - Sep 4, 2018 30 48 people are talking about this

This significantly ups the ante concerning possible military escalation in Syria, and the potential for continued Western intervention in the conflict. And meanwhile the White House issued its threat of another possible retaliatory round of strikes on Syrian government positions the same day a bombshell story contained in Bob Woodward's new book was revealed by the Washington Post. According to Woodward's account, Trump wanted to assassinate Syrian President Assad and effectively take out the entire Syrian government in April 2017 immediately following claims of a chemical attack on civilians were made. “Let’s fucking kill him! Let’s go in. Let’s kill the fucking lot of them,” Trump is reported to have ranted to his top advisors and military planners. According to the Post: After Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad launched a chemical attack on civilians in April 2017, Trump called Mattis and said he wanted to assassinate the dictator. “Let’s fucking kill him! Let’s go in. Let’s kill the fucking lot of them,” Trump said, according to Woodward. Mattis told the president that he would get right on it. But after hanging up the phone, he told a senior aide: “We’re not going to do any of that. We’re going to be much more measured.” The national security team developed options for the more conventional airstrike that Trump ultimately ordered. Needless to say all of this makes what's about to go down in Idlib extremely dangerous for the possibility of broader outbreak of war, after world powers already dodged this bullet multiple times in the past. lt doesn't appear that Syrian and Russian forces are overly concerned with the Monday evening threats from both President Trump and Nikki Haley warning Assad and Russia against attacking Idlib Province, as Middle East sources now report that Russia has resumed an intense air campaign over Idlib for the first time in 22 days. Beirut-based Al Masdar News reports, citing Syrian military sources, the Russian Air Force has begun its largest bombing campaign of the year in the Idlib Governorate. Moments ago at least ten Russian Sukhoi jets launched dozens of airstrikes over the southern and western parts of the Idlib Governorate. Al Masdar's sources said the Russian Air Force specifically targeted the Jisr Al-Shughour District, including the towns of Al-Shughour, Mahambel, Basnqoul, Zayzooun, Ziyarah, Jadariyah, Kafrdeen, Al-Sahn, Saraseef, and dozen others. The source added that the Russian airstrikes numbered over 50 thus far. With the large Russian bombardment, the Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) long-awaited ground offensive is bound to start in the next few days. Meanwhile the Kremlin has responded to President Trump's Monday evening tweet. According to Reuters, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, “Just to speak out with some warnings, without taking into account the very dangerous, negative potential for the whole situation in Syria, is probably not a full, comprehensive approach.” The Kremlin added that the area was a “nest of terrorists” in what's a clear dismissal of Trump's warnings of "Hundreds of thousands of people could be killed. Don’t let that happen!" And following Trump's Monday tweet, US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley tweeted her own statement based on the president's words, while specifically invoking the US charge that Assad plans to use chemical weapons. Haley wrote: All eyes on the actions of Assad, Russia, and Iran in Idlib. #NoChemicalWeapons. It appears that Trump and his cabinet were likely briefed on Monday that Russian strikes would be imminent. We described previously how Washington is seeking to use the "Assad is gassing his own people" claim to gain leverage over Syria, Russia, and Iran as they seek to root out last major pocket of the al-Qaeda jihadist insurgency from the country. Despite the latest words from President Trump condemning Syrian and Russian actions in Idlib, the White House's own top State Department official, special anti-ISIL envoy Brett McGurk, issued an unusually frank and accurate assessment of the situation in Idlib a year ago: "Idlib provice is the largest al-Qaeda safe-have since 9/11, tied to directly to Ayman al Zawahiri, this is a huge problem." But Trump's latest words appear primarily designed for leverage as there is little on the ground pressure that the US is capable of exerting at this late hour, barring some kind of "chemical provocation" claim. As Russia has initiated what's already being widely described as a "massive" campaign, we will likely see the major powers involved in the Syrian proxy war go further up the escalation ladder

Nike Debuts Colin Kaepernick ‘Just Do It’ Ad Ahead of Week 1

3 Sep 2018 By Warner Todd Huston

Athletic shoe giant Nike has debuted its new “Just Do It” ad featuring former NFL player and original anthem protester Colin Kaepernick. The ad comes only days before the kickoff of the 2018 NFL regular season. The ad features an extreme close-up of Kaepernick gazing into the camera with the caption, “Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything,” over his face, The Hollywood Reporter said. Kaepernick has had an endorsement contract with the sportswear maker since 2011, but has not played professional football since the end of the 2016 NFL season. The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback invented the protests during the anthem when he took a knee during the song throughout the 2016 season. But he hasn’t played since that year as once he turned free agent at the end of the season, he subsequently found no team interested in signing him. By 2017 Kaepernick charged the league with “colluding” to keep him from pursuing his NFL career and filed a grievance against the NFL with the players association. After dozens of depositions were taken, an arbitrator determined last month that the case would go to trial. Follow Warner Todd Huston on Twitter @warnerthuston.

Official: Israel not behind Jordanian-Palestinian confederation idea

The Jordanians immediately rejected the confederation idea.

By Herb Keinon September 3, 2018 20:37

Israel is not behind what Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said was a US-backed peace plan based on a Palestinian confederation with Jordan, senior Israeli diplomatic officials clarified Sunday. The clarification came after reports claimed the idea of a Palestinian-Jordanian confederation – which Abbas told a Peace Now delegation was raised in a conversation he had with US envoys Jared Kushner and Jason Greenblatt – was an Israeli proposal. Be the first to know - Join our Facebook page. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s position remains that an agreement must be directly negotiated between the sides and include a demilitarized Palestinian entity – which he has referred to it as a “state-minus” – with Israeli security control west of the Jordan River, the official said. That position, which Netanyahu has articulated numerous time, “has not changed,” the official added. The idea of a Jordanian-Palestinian federation was first put forward by King Hussein in March 1972 during an address to the Jordanian Parliament. His idea was for a United Arab Kingdom made up of two districts: the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and a Palestinian district. In his plan, east Jerusalem was to become the capital of the Palestinian component of the federation. The two districts would be autonomous, though security and foreign affairs would be under control of the central government in Amman. The plan was rejected by all parties: the PLO, the Arab States and Israel. Nevertheless, it continued to be discussed from time to time until July 1988, when Hussein severed all legal and administrative ties with the West Bank, with the exception of maintaining a standing in Jerusalem. He explained this move was designed to help the Palestinians establish an independent state. Until that time, half of Jordan’s lower parliament represented constituencies in the West Bank. The onset of the Oslo process, with its Declaration of Principles signed on the White House Lawn 25 years ago this month, further shelved the federation idea amid talk of a two-state solution. Netanyahu himself endorsed the two-state solution, though with caveats, during his famous Bar-Ilan speech in 2009 in which he endorsed a demilitarized Palestinian state – backed by international guarantees – that would recognize Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people. In that speech he made clear that the lines of this demilitarized state would be negotiated as part of a final agreement, and stressed that Jerusalem “must remain the united capital of Israel with continued religious freedom for all faiths.” Netanyahu has not publicly backed away from that speech, or endorsed the idea of a Jordanian-Palestinian federation. Nevertheless, one official said that the prolonged diplomatic stalemate is leading to increased talk about various other options. Abbas told the Peace Now delegation he believed in a confederation with Jordan, but only if it was a triangular one that included Israel as well. The Jordanians immediately rejected the confederation idea. However, the idea is not without traction among Palestinians. An October 2016 poll taken by the Nablus-based Al-Najah University found that 46% of respondents supported the creation of a confederation with Jordan on the basis of two independent states with strong institutional relations, while 41% rejected it. Without respondents from Gaza included, the percentage of support in the West Bank alone was even higher, with 52% in favor and 44% opposed. In a related development, Netanyahu, in a Rosh Hashanah toast at the Foreign Ministry, said on Monday that there was a “gradual normalization taking place with key countries in the Arab world.” He said this normalization was a byproduct of the “horrible” nuclear agreement with Iran and was a sign of hope “for true peace.”

Former Sen. Jon Kyl to Fill John McCain's Senate Seat

By Newsmax Wires | Tuesday, 04 September 2018 01:39 PM

Republican ex-Sen. Jon Kyl has been picked to fill the late Sen. John McCain's seat in the upper chamber. Kyl, 76, was the second highest ranking Republican in the Senate when he retired in 2013 after serving three terms. Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey announced his choice of the former senator, who's now a Washington lobbyist, on Tuesday afternoon. Kyl agreed to serve at least through the end of the year, Ducey told reporters at a news conference. He hasn’t committed to serving until 2020, when there would need to be a special election to fill the final two years of McCain’s term. Ducey announced his decision after a series of memorial services for McCain last week and his burial Sunday at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. McCain died Aug. 25 after a long struggle with brain cancer. “I am deeply grateful to Senator Kyl for agreeing to succeed his friend and colleague of so many years,” Ducey wrote. “Every single day that Jon Kyl represents #Arizona in the U.S. Senate is a day our state is well-served." He is a lawyer, who has been acting in recent weeks as the top liaison — a role often referred to as a "sherpa" — to the Senate on behalf of President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Last year, Kyl did the same for Jeff Sessions’ contentious nomination to become attorney general The political stakes are high since Kyl could participate in the vote on whether to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court. Kyl also has been conducting an internal review for Facebook Inc. amid allegations of anti-conservative bias in the company’s treatment of content. Trump spent much of last week repeating the claim that Facebook and other social media companies censor conservatives. The companies largely reject the accusation. Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook’s chief operating officer, is due to testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Wednesday on foreign attempts to meddle in U.S. politics using the platforms, and is likely to face questions about the alleged bias. As of the end of the second quarter, Kyl served as an outside lobbyist through his law firm, Covington & Buring LLP, for at least one client, according to government disclosures. In recent months, though, his lobbying work with Northrop Grumman Corp., the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America trade group, Qualcomm Inc. and Georgetown University has ended, the disclosures say. Kyl served as the No. 2 Republican under then Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, who is now majority leader. Kyl’s understated demeanor belied his role as one of the toughest opponents of former President Barack Obama’s policies. As a member of the Senate Finance Committee, Kyl battled Obama to preserve President George W. Bush’s tax cuts. On the Judiciary Committee and as a lawmaker from a state that shares a border with Mexico, Kyl had a key role in the debate over immigration law. President Donald Trump praised the selection on Twitter: "Jon Kyl will be an extraordinary Senator representing an extraordinary state, Arizona. I look forward to working with him!" the president tweeted. This report contains material from Bloomberg, Reuters, and The Associated Press.

Chaos Erupts During Kavanaugh Hearing After Hecklers Begin Shrieking, 22 Arrested

by Tyler Durden Tue, 09/04/2018 - 16:24

Update: 22 protesters have been arrested after protesting Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation, according to US Capitol Police.

One of the arrested activists was Linda Sarsour, the co-founder of Women's March (Sarsour's mentor, Imam Wahhaj, is the father of one of the suspects in the ongoing New Mexico jihad compound saga). Chaos erupted less than 30 minutes into Brett Kavanaugh's Tuesday morning confirmation hearing with the Senate, as hecklers interrupted the session with loud shrieking. Meanwhile, the hearing itself got off to a contentious start after Democratic Senators began interrupting Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA). The Democrats, starting with Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) demanded that Grassley adjourn the hearings, while Sen. Klobuchar (D-MN) called for the same. "We cannot possibly move forward," said Harris, to which Grassley said she was out of order. Protesters erupted in the gallery upon the Democratic Senators' interruptions. Democrat Cory Booker of New Jersey asked "what is the rush?" to confirm Kavanaugh amid the largest release of documents in USSC nominee history. "What are we trying to hide? Why are we rushing?" asked Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT), to which Grassley responded: "I think if I answer those questions it is going to fit into the effort of the minority to continue to obstruct, and I don't think that that's fair to our judge." Democrats slammed the Trump administration on Sunday for refusing to release thousands of documents related to Kavanaugh, after attorneys for the Bush II administration - in which Kavanaugh worked - said that approximately 27,000 records would be off limits under "constitutional privilege." In a Saturday press release, the Senate Judiciary Committee said that they had "expanded access to confidential material beyond that for any other Supreme Court nominee."

SELCO: No List of Supplies to Hoard Can Prepare You for the Fluidity of the Situation When the SHTF

by Selco

Sometimes, real survival/prepping can be nicely organized and presented in a form of lists and tasks that you check off on your way of prepping. But no list of supplies to hoard can prepare you for the fluidity of the situation when the SHTF actually happens. You can easily get done some preps in terms of what stuff you need and how much of it, what is really important and what not. A lot of that knowledge is available online and some people did a very good job putting that information together. For example, you can find info what kind water filter is best for the time when clean water is not available, you can find reviews of that filter online, you can buy the item, and you are prepared. Same with weapons, ammo, clothes…or whatever. Same with the amount of the things that you need, there are simple tools for calculating how much of what items you need for how much persons for how long. Information is available, you just need to research it and buy it. But prepping in its essence should not be the simple hoarding of items. It should not be because it might easily lead you into paranoia, and another important reason is that most of us do not have means to store everything that we might need for a longer period of time. You have to expect the fluidity of the situation Very often you can miss the whole point if you do not count on something that I call “the fluidity of the situation”. SHTF has at its core that “fluidity of the situation” and it can crush all your preparing or at least shock you if you do not count on it in your preps. That fluidity means that the situation and value and importance of all your preps, solutions and plans might change all the time, and many times during the SHTF. It sounds bit vague but it is actually simple, and it is best to describe it is with real-life examples, particularly the example of food. The value and importance of food changed based on a few subjects: personal needs, regional circumstances, psychological needs. Personal needs It is very simple – do not store food that you do not like to eat. You might think” oh but I might use it for trade” but there is not too much sense in that, because you might get into a situation that you’ll have to eat it. With all of the problems that SHTF will bring, you do not need food that will depress you even more or that makes you even more miserable. Chances are high that eventually if the situation is really prolonged you’ll end up eating stuff that you do not like. It does not have to be food that you actually bought and stored. Check your needs, allergies, medical conditions, and what kind of food makes sense for you or members of your family. Regional circumstances Depending on your surroundings, it makes sense to store some foods more than others. It may be different in different parts of the worlds, but look around you and check what food will be available more than others once when SHTF. Are you living in an urban area or in rural settings? Do you live close to some major food sources of any kind? I’ll use a personal example here for a very usual item – salt. In my case during the whole period of SHTF, salt was available more or less all the time. You could go out and find salt through the process of trade and it was not expensive. Or to be more precise, the trade value of salt went up 2-3 times maybe while the trade value of some other food items went up 10-15 times. In that same period of time, in a region maybe 300 km away, salt was so rare that some people had medical problems because of the lack of it. In that region, people would take very dangerous trips through the enemy territory over the mountains just to get some salt from another city. It was rare. Now I am not even sure why it was like that, probably the level of salt in some warehouses was much higher in my case when SHTF, or something else. I do not know. But it is important to understand how different it was from region to region. So it makes sense to figure that salt will be available easily if you live close to the sea for example. In that case, you do not need to have a huge stockpile of salt. You need other things. Psychological needs The psychological need for food items is a bit weird and hard to explain, and of course, it might be different for each one of us, but I’ll use examples again. Once during the war and hunger, I stumbled upon a lot of small packages of sweet cocoa-milk cream spreads in some abandoned house. I cannot properly explain here what that meant for me. I ate that until I got sick and it was not about being hungry. It was about having something that reminded me of peacetime and normal life, maybe even childhood. Who knows? I ate that spread. I was dirty, hungry, scared… there was carnage around me and the city was burning in hundreds of fires, but I think I felt like I was normal again and everything else was normal around me just for that moment. I knew a man who was crawling for an hour slowly, over the open area with few burned cars as a cover, over the area where snipers killed many folks, he was literally crawling over the dead bodies only to check if there maybe any lollipops in the small burned shop remains. He was a big tough guy, and all that did not make sense maybe, but at the same time it made perfect sense. He psychologically needed lollipops. Probably it reminded him of normalcy or school, or his mother maybe… who knows. Anyway, the point is to know what items work for you and to store them. And of course, you can go one step further and check what items comfort people around you in hard times and have that too, for trade. Other preps I used food items above only as examples. Your other preps should follow similar steps and philosophy. Another example that I always mention is the example of a simple cheap lighter. It was really interesting how valuable that cheap lighter became when after a couple of months, people needed it very hard badly for fire starting and there were no stores to buy it. Not to mention that it was a great item for store and trade since it is cheap to get today and easy to carry when SHTF. Items that you store may have other value when the SHTF simply because again, you can’t predict the fluidity of the situation. No list of things to hoard can predict that.

In his online works, he gives an inside view of the reality of survival under the harshest conditions.

Typhoon Jebi Hits Japan, Killing At Least 6 People

September 4, 201810:22 AM ET Camila Domonoske square 2017

Camila Domonoske

A powerful typhoon has made landfall in western Japan, causing extensive damage and multiple deaths. At least six people have died as a result of Typhoon Jebi, according to Japan's public broadcaster, NHK. And thousands of people have been stranded at Kansai International Airport, located on an artificial island in Osaka Bay, after flooding and damage to the bridge leading to the airport. Based on its wind speeds, Jebi was classified as "very strong" by Japan's weather agency. The last "very strong" typhoon that made landfall in Japan was in 1993, Kyodo News reports. As it approached the archipelago, Jebi had winds of more than 100 miles per hour, the news agency writes. The six deaths reported so far include a man killed in the collapse of a warehouse facility, and a man who fell from the second story of his house, Japan Times reports. More than 1.6 million customers lost power in the storm, NHK reports, and some parts of central and western Japan are under evacuation advisories. In Osaka, roofs and scaffolding were peeled off buildings, Channel News Asia reports. Photos and video show vehicles that were blown off course or knocked on their side. Video captured in Kyoto shows the glass ceiling of Kyoto Station breaking or partially collapsing, sending chunks of glass falling toward commuters below. Kansai International Airport, a major transportation hub, has been entirely shut down. Runways were flooded — "several planes were submerged up to their engines," NHK reports, citing officials at Japan's transport ministry. An anchored oil tanker in Osaka Bay, caught up by the storm, was sent crashing into the bridge that connects the airport to the main island of Honshu. Eleven crew members were stranded on the tanker, NHK reports, and only two of them could be rescued before rescue operations "had to be called off because of a ruptured gas pipe." The bridge was damaged in the accident, leaving thousands of people trapped inside the airport's terminal — NHK estimates about 3,000 people are stuck, while Japan Times reports 2,650 stranded travelers. Flights won't be resuming until Wednesday evening at the earliest, Japan Times reports. After passing over Osaka and Kyoto, Jebi is expected to rake along or near the western edge of Japan as it travels north, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency. As of Tuesday morning ET, the storm still had sustained winds of more than 75 miles per hour and was classified as a strong storm, but over the course of the next day it is expected to weaken significantly.

Syria war: 'Russian' planes bomb targets in Idlib province

4 September 2018

Russian planes have reportedly bombed rebel-held targets in the Syrian province of Idlib, as government troops mass before an expected offensive. If confirmed, they would be the first such air strikes there in three weeks. Earlier, US President Donald Trump warned Syria's Bashar al-Assad against launching a "reckless attack" on Idlib. But Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov rejected the warning and said the Syrian army was "getting ready" to clear a "cradle of terrorism" there. Five reasons why the battle for Idlib matters Why is there a war in Syria? Mr Peskov said the al Qaeda-linked jihadists dominating in the north-western province of Idlib were threatening Russian military bases in Syria and blocking a political solution to the civil war. The UN has warned of a humanitarian catastrophe if an all-out assault takes place. The UN envoy to Syria, Staffan de Mistura, called on Russia and Turkey to act urgently to avert "a bloodbath" in Idlib. He said telephone talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Turkish counterpart Regep Tayyip Erdogan "would make a big difference". Mr de Mistura also welcomed Mr Trump's comments on the issue, saying it was sending "the right message". What did the air strikes target? The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based monitoring group, reported that Russian jets had carried out about 30 strikes on about 16 rebel-held areas in western Idlib, the mountains of Latakia province, and the Sahl al-Ghab plain.  Report The pro-opposition Step News Agency reported Russian strikes on the villages of Inab, al-Janudiya, Tal Aawar, Sririf, Jadraya and al-Bariya. A news outlet affiliated to the al-Qaeda-linked jihadist alliance Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) posted photographs showing plumes of smoke rising from several villages. The Syria Civil Defence, whose rescue workers are commonly known as the White Helmets, reported that three civilians had been killed in the strikes on Jisr al-Shughour. The Syrian Observatory said the Russian air strikes were the first for 22 days and had come hours after three pro-government fighters were killed by rebel rocket fire in the Jabal Turkmen area of Latakia. What are pro-government forces doing? Syrian army soldiers and allied militiamen have been gearing up for what has been described as a phased offensive on Idlib, the rebels' last remaining stronghold. Skip Twitter post by @realDonaldTrump President Bashar al-Assad of Syria must not recklessly attack Idlib Province. The Russians and Iranians would be making a grave humanitarian mistake to take part in this potential human tragedy. Hundreds of thousands of people could be killed. Don’t let that happen!  — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 3, 2018 Report End of Twitter post by @realDonaldTrump HTS, which is designated by the UN as a terrorist organisation and has an estimated 10,000 fighters in Idlib, and rival rebel factions backed by neighbouring Turkey have said they will fight back. On Monday night, Mr Trump warned Russia and Iran, which has sent military advisers and thousands of militiamen to Syria, that they "would be making a grave humanitarian mistake to take part in this potential human tragedy". On Tuesday, Mr Peskov questioned the US president's approach to solving the problem of HTS and other jihadists operating in Idlib.  Image caption Rebel fighters in Idlib are preparing for an attack by pro-government forces "To just make some warnings, not taking into account a very dangerous negative potential of the whole situation in Syria, is probably an incomplete, not all-encompassing approach," he was quoted as saying by Interfax news agency. The Kremlin spokesman said the situation in Idlib would top the agenda at a summit of the presidents of Russia, Iran and Turkey in Iran on Friday. Why is the international community so worried? Mr de Mistura has warned of a "perfect storm" if the government goes ahead with a full-scale offensive. The jihadists must be defeated but not at the expense of thousands of civilian lives, the UN envoy said last week. Image caption Hundreds of thousands of people in Idlib are already experiencing dire conditions He called for further talks on a political solution, or for humanitarian corridors to be set up to allow civilians to be evacuated temporarily to a safer area, most likely one under government control. The UN says Idlib is home to some 2.9 million people, including a million children. More than half of the civilians have already been displaced at least once from elsewhere in Syria and have nowhere left to go. UN officials say as many as 800,000 people could be displaced and that the already high number of people in need of aid could increase dramatically. "A worst-case scenario in Idlib will overwhelm capacities and has the potential to create a humanitarian emergency at a scale not yet seen through this crisis," John Ging of the Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs warned.

Iran using civilian flights to smuggle arms to Hezbollah – report

Western intelligence officials tell Fox News they tracked two unscheduled flights from Tehran to Beirut this month, believed to be carrying parts for Iranian weapons factories

By TOI staff 4 September 2018, 1:31 am

WASHINGTON — Iran is using a civilian airline to smuggle arms to the Lebanese terror group Hezbollah, Fox News reported Monday, citing Western intelligence officials who tracked two unscheduled flights in recent months. According to the report, two flights operated by Qeshm Fars Air flights made trips from Tehran to Beirut, flying an irregular route. One Boeing 747 flight on July 9 made a stop in Damascus, Syria. The second flight on August 4, directly from Tehran to Beirut, but followed “a slightly irregular route north of Syria,” Fox said. The intelligence officials told Fox the flights were believed to be carrying components for manufacturing precise weapons in Iranian factories inside Lebanon. “The Iranians are trying to come up with new ways and routes to smuggle weapons from Iran to its allies in the Middle East, testing and defying the West’s abilities to track them down,” a regional intelligence officer told Fox. Israel has made similar charges before, with Israel’s ambassador to the UN Danny Danon sending a letter to Security Council members in 2016, warning Iran was using civilian airlines to supply the terrorists. Fox said Qeshm Fars Air flights is loosely affiliated with the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. Iran is Hezbollah’s chief patron, having helped set up the group in the early 1980s. Since then, Iran has supplied Hezbollah with a range of weapons and helped fund its social programs in southern Lebanon, and has used the group to carry out terrorist attacks against American and Israeli targets. Hezbollah has grown into the Israeli military’s primary threat in the region, with an arsenal of between 100,000 to 150,000 mortar shells, rockets, and missiles. According to Israeli and Western intelligence officials, Iran has been helping Hezbollah develop precision-guided missiles, with which the group has the capability to stage a more successful attack on Israel. At Iran’s behest, Hezbollah has become deeply embroiled in the Syrian civil war, fighting in a Shiite alliance alongside Iranian forces, the Assad regime and Iraqi militias against primarily Sunni rebels. Israel has reportedly carried out dozens of airstrikes in Syria since the civil war began in a bid to stop the smuggling of advanced weapons to Hezbollah, but has otherwise refrained from becoming involved in the deadly conflict that has engulfed the country. The head of the Israeli military’s Northern Command issued a clear threat to Hezbollah and its Iranian patron on Monday, saying Israel’s next war with the terrorist group would be its last. “[Hezbollah] will feel the force of our arm. I hope there won’t be another war, but if there is, it won’t be another Second Lebanon War, but the final northern war,” said Maj. Gen. Yoel Strick at a conference organized by the Hadashot TV news outlet. The Northern Command chief also mocked Hezbollah’s Iranian sponsors as having more bark than bite, noting that it took three months before the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps retaliated for an Israeli strike against it earlier this year. “It has to be said straightforwardly — they have a lot less than they planned. We all remember February 10. The Iranians planned to act immediately, but in the end it took them three months,” Strick said. Also Monday, Israel’s Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman said, “As for the threat from Iran, we are not limiting ourselves to Syria.” On February 10, an Israeli attack helicopter shot down an Iranian drone that penetrated Israeli airspace and, simultaneously, Israeli fighter jets bombed the air base from which the unmanned aerial vehicle was being piloted. In the resulting clash with Syrian air defenses, an Israeli F-16 fighter jet was shot down. Only three months later, in the pre-dawn hours of May 10, some 20 rockets were fired at Israeli military positions along the Syrian border in what Israel says was an attack by the IRGC’s Quds Force. In response, the IDF conducted airstrikes against dozens of Iranian targets in the country.

New Attack On Christians

By Hal Lindsey

Recently on The Hal Lindsey Report, I mentioned a column by New York Times writer, Frank Bruni. His article was ostensibly an attack on Vice President Mike Pence. But it turned out to be much more than that. It became a broadside against all Christian believers, the Christian faith, and ultimately the center of Christianity, Jesus Himself. Bruni’s column was based on a book going on sale August 28th — “The Shadow President: The Truth About Mike Pence.” I haven’t read it, and I hope I won’t need to. Published reports about the book show that the authors were intent on finding fault with everything about Pence. They even attacked his “extreme niceness.” Who could find fault with a man being nice? They said he has “weaponized” niceness. Are they kidding? They talk about his friendship with Charles Colsona man whose life was radically changed by Christ. After his own stint in prison, the former Nixon “hatchet man” launched a worldwide ministry to prisoners. He advocated for them the rest of his life. The authors doubted that it was Colson’s godly life that attracted Pence, saying it is “just as likely that Pence was drawn to Colson’s lingering aggressive tendencies.” But another phrase they used concerns me even more. They called Pence a “Christian supremacist” — a term chosen, not to convey truth, but to induce prejudice. The term “Christian supremacist” implies that Christians believe their worldview over other worldviews. But that’s true of all beliefs. We all think we’re right. Is everyone who has belief a “supremacist”? A “white supremacist” is a bigot. He believes white people are superior because of their skin color and ethnic heritage. But people have no choice in their genetic makeup. The Bible teaches we are all equal in worth and that our potential is not limited by race. On the other hand, we choose our ideas. Naturally, we Christians think our ideas are better than others. If we didn’t, we would switch to the idea we thought superior. Christians see competing worldviews as either wrong or not as good. How is that different from anyone else? Do we use the term “Democrat supremacist”? Of course not. Why not? Because it is a given that Democrats are Democrats because they believe the Democratic Party holds a better set of ideas than competing parties. I never met an atheist who didn’t see himself as having a better belief system than theists. Do we call them “atheist supremacists”? Some may read this and think, “I’m not a religious ‘supremacist’ of any kind because I believe all religious ideas are equally valid.” Do you see the problem with that? That’s still saying that one set of beliefs is better than others. The person who holds that all religious beliefs are equally valid sees his view as superior, for instance, to that of the Apostle Peter. In Acts 4:12, Peter spoke of Jesus when he said, “There is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved.” People all have their own ideas on religious faith. And, invariably, they see their ideas as superior to competing ones. But it isn’t just in areas of faith where people believe in the superiority of their own ideas. By using the term “Christian supremacist,” this book is saying that anyone who believes anything is a bigot and a “supremacist.” That’s obviously ridiculous. Even so, we may be hearing the phrase “Christian supremacist” a lot in coming days. We can expect it to be used as an excuse for real bigotry — this time against Christians. But don’t be discouraged. Think about something else Peter said. “Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified. But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody in other people's matters. Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter.” (I Peter 4:12-16, NKJV)

Through Many Tribulations

By Hal Lindsey

One-night last month, one of the world’s most famous landmarks, the Colosseum in Rome, glowed red. According to Vatican News, officials bathed the ancient arena in red light “as a sign of solidarity with all those who are persecuted for their faith.” Before now, had you heard about that? Usually, western media outlets look for stories with dramatic imagery. The Colosseum’s famous silhouette, bathed in red against a stark, black backdrop, would seem to fit the bill. They also love a story with a good twist. Officials used the Colosseum, once a symbol of Christian persecution, to strike a blow against such persecution. But despite an interesting, ready-made story, the media paid little attention. To cover it would mean admitting that there is a story here. And once they admit that, they will have to explain that the story is huge and ongoing — especially in Nigeria. Giulio Meotti, writing for the Gatestone Institute, said, “The West does not seem to care about the ongoing Islamic terrorist genocide on Africa’s biggest Christian population in Nigeria.” Terrorism usually gets the frontpage treatment. Genocide makes this story global and historic. But western media elites could not care less about Africa. The reasons are more complex than simple racism, but you can’t help wondering if that’s not part of it. In one February attack, radical Islamic terrorists went through 15 villages in Nigeria. They murdered townspeople, burned churches, and razed the homes of known Christians. Several sources quote a witness as saying, “Despite several calls to the governor and his deputy, and other security apparatus, the government remained silent as the atrocities continued. The Fulani (a west African Muslim people) were able to carry out their deadly attack. They stayed for hours in the vicinity, moving at will, unchallenged.” Wole Soyinka, a Nigerian Nobel laureate for literature, called the Islamic terrorists a “horde.” He said their goal is to “Islamize the nation.” Bishop Hyacinth Egbebo, a Nigerian Catholic, said, “If Nigeria falls to Islamic extremists, all of Africa will be at risk.” It would be a mistake to think of Nigeria as insignificant or far away. Nigerians are as important in God’s eyes as Americans. But even from a selfish point of view, remember that what happens there does not stay there! Meotti wrote, “The West truly needs to care about the daily carnage suffered by this poor, black, Christian and abandoned population. Wole Soyinka's ‘horde’ will not be confined to the Nigerian borders, but will try to strike Western Europe as well.” Not long ago, a mob in Vietnam attacked two dozen Christians. They were new converts from a group known as Hmong. CBN News wrote, “Their conversion provoked the village chief who threatened to expel the believers from the community if they didn’t renounce their new-found faith. The Hmong Christians refused to recant, prompting a mob to attack them.” After a period of relative tolerance, Christian persecution in Vietnam is on the rise. In fact, it’s on the rise everywhere. In Turkey, an American pastor, Andrew Brunson, faces life in prison. He’s accused of “terrorism.” You’re probably wondering what act of “terrorism” this Christian minister could have been up to. The answer is that he shared the Gospel. That means in today’s Turkey, for a Christian minister to read John 3:16 is considered an act of terror. Turkey’s President Recep Erdogan is playing a game of global power politics. Many have suggested that Pastor Brunson is merely a pawn in that game. But it’s more than that. Erdogan could have chosen any American as a hostage. He chose a Christian minister because he fears the Gospel. Jesus said, “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (NASB) To a despot like Erdogan, those are the scariest words in the world. Attacks on freedom of religion and belief — especially Christian belief — are escalating around the world. Sometimes it’s the persecution of a group, and sometimes it’s a lone individual. Right now in Nigeria, a girl named Liah Sharibu is being held by the Islamic terror group, Boko Haram. The terrorists abducted 110 girls in February. After intense government negotiation, they returned 104. Five died in captivity. Only Liah remains in terrorist hands. One of the returning girls explained that Boko Haram refused to release Liah because she would not renounce her faith in Christ. “She was held back,” the released girl said. “We were freed because we are Muslim girls and they didn’t want us to suffer.” Another girl released by Boko Haram relayed that the terrorists said they would keep Liah “until she converted.” Imagine how Liah’s parents feel. How would you feel? Her father, Nata Sharibu, told a Nigerian radio station, “I am very sad, but I am also jubilating, too, because my daughter did not denounce Christ.” Salvation is free. Jesus paid the whole price. But in this world, bearing His name carries its own cost. In Acts 14:22, Paul the great teacher of grace, gave this warning to the Christians of Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch. “Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.” It reminds me of the third verse of John Newton’s “Amazing Grace.” “Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come. ‘Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home!” That amazing grace abides with Liah Sharibu and Andrew Brunson. It abides with millions around the world facing various levels of persecution because of their stands for Christ. If you are His, it also abides with you. According to the Bible, as we approach the end of the age, persecution of believers will increase. But don’t despair. In John 16:33, Jesus said, “In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.” (NASB)

Peace In Our Time

By Hal Lindsey

Members of the psychiatric profession tell us people in the United States are feeling especially anxious about this year’s presidential election. Both sides fear an economic collapse if the other wins. Both sides are convinced that a win by the other means the rich will get richer and the poor poorer; and that terrorism will flourish. Both sides are concerned about the moral character of the other side’s candidate (and maybe their own). An unusual number of people fear that if the other side wins, America will be unrecognizable in four years. Slate Magazine called the 2016 election a “national nervous breakdown.” Core supporters of each candidate are convinced that America will enter a new era of prosperity and peace if their candidate wins. And they are horrified at the thought of a fantastic, glorious opportunity being thrown away by their fellow voters. The hardcore people follow, not just the big polls, but also the daily tracking polls. Every shift makes them giddy or throws them in the dumps. One thing the polls seem to all agree on is that most Americans are not happy about this election. The majority doesn’t feel completely comfortable with either candidate. San Francisco psychotherapist, Fiachra O’Sullivan, said, “People are scared. People are distressed, and it’s affecting… their relationships with their significant others.” Nancy Molitor, a clinical psychologist in the Chicago area, said that in her 26 years in practice, “I’ve never seen this level of stress and anxiety over an impending election.” Elaine Ducharme is a clinical psychologist from Connecticut. All her patients are feeling anxiety over the election. She said, “I can’t think of a person I’ve talked to (who) does not feel anxious about this.” There have been no formal studies on the subject as far as I know, but the anecdotal evidence is overwhelming. People are reporting headaches, jitters, tightness in the chest, and even difficulty breathing — all caused by election fears. According to Fox News, many therapists are telling their patients, “Stop reading the news and take up yoga.” For some, “Stop reading the news” may be a good idea. Anyone obsessing over the election should take a step back from it. Don’t stick your head in the sand, but don’t think that by reading the polls every day you can somehow change them in your candidate’s favor. Here’s what I can tell you from scripture. Don’t place your hope in a man or a woman. We’ve had some great presidents and they made huge differences in all our lives. In some cases, they helped save our lives, and in some cases, they helped save our way of life. But they were all merely human. These days, we need help from a Higher Source. America is beyond the simple need for good governmental policies. It needs a revolution of the heart. Passing a new law won’t turn things around, but recognition of God’s laws can. The only real hope for America today is for large number of Americans to repent of their sins, and turn to the saving grace of Jesus. What about you? And if you have children or grandchildren, what about them? What kind of world will they inherit? Should you be afraid? No. Through Isaiah, God warned of some terrible things coming on the nation of Israel. But it was also through Isaiah that the Lord said, “Say to those who are fearful-hearted, ‘Be strong, do not fear!’” (Isaiah 35:4 NKJV) 1 Peter 5:7 says, “Casting all your anxiety upon Him, because He cares for you.”(NASB) Worried about the kids? Trust them to Him. Psalms 103:17 says, “The lovingkindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, And His righteousness to children’s children.” (NASB) The Psalmist also said, “When I am afraid, I will put my trust in Thee.” (Psalms 56:3 NASB) Jesus warned us that we would face great persecution, but He said not to worry. He spoke it as a promise, and also as a command. He said, “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.” (John 14:27 NASB)

Top Senators Back Trump Plan To Remove Sessions – Banned Videos

POTUS ready to launch counterattack against Deep State

The Alex Jones Show - August 27, 2018

Trump wants to get rid of Sessions and many Republicans, including Lindsay Graham, are on board with the plan. The Obama-ran sector of the shadow government is making moves against Trump and his allies. Meanwhile, Apple’s Tim Cook and Virginia Senator Mark Warner have chosen Alex Jones as the main target to serve as a smokescreen while they begin mass censorship. President Trump is poised to launch his counterattack against the establishment, where he will fire inept Attorney General Jeff Sessions, purge the traitorous moles within the Deep State and declassify the much sought-after redacted information pertaining to Hillary Clinton’s email investigation and the phony “Russia collusion” probe.

Why Deep State Sabotage Is Way Worse Than Trump’s Atrocious Infidelities

If the left succeeds in forcing Donald Trump out of office, the damage to our democratic republic cannot be overstated.

By Margot Cleveland August 28, 2018

Character counts. But so do the consequences of criminalizing the election of the “wrong” president. That’s what I concluded after noodling over last week’s guilty plea by President Trump’s former attorney, Michael Cohen, and the reignited calls for his impeachment or a forced resignation. Cohen’s claim that he paid off stripper Stormy Daniels at the behest of Trump rallied the anti-Trump brigade around a new theory for ousting him from the Oval Office: Trump’s purported campaign-finance violations. But the allegation of criminal campaign-finance wrongdoing fails on several levels. Legal experts disagree on whether the payment would constitute a violation of election law, even if Trump had told Cohen to pay for Daniels’ silence. To reach the level necessary for criminal liability — as opposed to a civil Federal Election Commission fine — Trump would have needed to possess the requisite intent. Given the disagreement among election-law attorneys concerning whether a violation even occurred, a prosecutor would be hard-pressed to prove Trump committed a criminal offense. And then the “high crimes and misdemeanors” hurdle would trip up any impeachment scenario. None of this, of course, addresses Trump’s underlying conduct which, while not proven, seems believable: Trump had extramarital sex and arranged to pay to silence people he did it with from getting the word out. Twenty years ago, Democrats constructed the public-private dichotomy to cast Bill Clinton’s exploitation of a young White House intern as “just about sex” and to excuse not just his ill use of Monica Lewinsky, but also his perjury and obstruction of justice. “Our guy stays, but your guy goes” might be a perfect summation of the left’s philosophy on political accountability. Republicans aren’t about to let the Democrats come back decades later to magically declare that character deficiencies now require the removal of a president. Yet conservatives also aren’t about to paper over Trump’s infidelity, and we shouldn’t. Now, arguing that Cohen’s conduct did not constitute a campaign finance violation is not excusing the tryst. The same holds for those challenging claims that Trump committed a crime. One also need not condone Trump’s behavior to maintain that his conduct does not satisfy the constitutionally required “high crimes and misdemeanors” impeachment standard. Highlighting the obvious prosecutorial double standard that led to a search of Cohen’s office and home and the campaign-finance charges also does not equate to acquiescence in Trump’s affair(s). Trump’s alley-cat morals, though, received equal billing to the above complaints when reports of Cohen’s guilty plea broke. The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway minced no words in condemning Trump’s conduct: Adultery is wrong. Spouses are called to live a sexually pure and decent life in what they say and do. Husband and wife are to love and honor each other. Infidelity has an effect far beyond the person philandering, including the temporary lover, the betrayed spouse and children with the spouse, the children that arise from sexual unions with various women, and even business associates and voters. It may not be illegal to have an affair, or to be induced to sign a non-disclosure agreement because infidelity is a believable charge, but it is a moral failing. But while conservatives detest Trump’s philandering ways, they have long since tired of politicians’ puffery: Trump may lie to his wife and to Americans, but he delivers. Still, some conservatives, such as Michael Medved, have suggested that Trump should resign — for the better of his party, his country, and ultimately his own place in history. Wouldn’t the sacrosanct Mike Pence silence the storm and mend the societal rupture surrounding Trump’s presidency? No, because this storm was never about the president’s past infidelity or Trump arranging for Cohen to use cash to silence the stripper. The left’s effortless pivot from their two-year investment in establishing that Trump colluded with Russia reveals the their real dispute with the president: Trump won, and Hillary lost. Replacing Trump with Pence will not be enough. Only when Democrats regain what they believe should rightfully be theirs — control of the government — will amends be made. If the left succeeds in forcing Trump out of office, the damage to our democratic republic cannot be overstated. Trump’s infidelity, wrong though it is, is far less destructive to our country than the last two years of sabotage set off by Washington insiders — first on a presidential campaign and then, following the populace’s selection of the “wrong” candidate, on Trump’s presidency. Yet many of the people acting high and mighty about Trump’s infidelity are the same folks ignoring the past administration’s abuse of power to set up and spy on the Trump campaign, and the lies and leaks flowing to favorite media outlets to foment a coup. This chicanery prompted the appointment of a special counsel who, though unrestrained by time, money, or purpose, has yet to ferret out a crime related to Russia collusion. So yes, Trump’s infidelity matters. But so too does the impending destruction of our democratic republic, should the president’s opponents succeed in undoing his election.

MEADOWS: We Have NEW Info the FBI Leaked to the Media – Then Used Those Same Press Stories to Justify FISA Warrants

Cristina Laila by Cristina Laila August 27, 2018

Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows dropped a bombshell Monday evening.

Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) revealed Monday evening Congressional investigators have learned new information suggesting the FBI and DOJ previously leaked information to the press then used those same press stories as a separate source to justify seeking FISA warrants on Trump advisor Carter Page. Twice-demoted DOJ official Bruce Ohr will be interviewed Tuesday in a closed-door session by Congress. Meadows then asked of Bruce Ohr, “Did he ever do this?” MEADOWS: We’ve learned NEW information suggesting our suspicions are true: FBI/DOJ have previously leaked info to the press, and then used those same press stories as a separate source to justify FISA’s. Unreal. Tomorrow’s Bruce Ohr interview is even more critical. Did he ever do this? Mark Meadows @RepMarkMeadows

We've learned NEW information suggesting our suspicions are true: FBI/DOJ have previously leaked info to the press, and then used those same press stories as a separate source to justify FISA's

Unreal. Tomorrow's Bruce Ohr interview is even more critical. Did he ever do this?

10:20 PM - Aug 27, 2018 45.9K 26K people are talking about this

Twice-demoted DOJ official Bruce Ohr is set to appear before members of the House Oversight and House Judiciary Committees Tuesday to answer why he had over 60 contacts with dossier author, Christopher Steele. Bruce Ohr was acting as a backchannel after the FBI ‘terminated’ Christopher Steele in November of 2016. The FBI was being funneled intel from Steele through Bruce Ohr. “He owes the American public the full truth,” Meadows previously said. Emails, text messages and handwritten notes penned by Bruce Ohr were recently released showing the top DOJ official had extensive contact with dossier author Christopher Steele and Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson. Christopher Steele was ‘terminated’ by the FBI from his gig as a ‘Confidential Human Source’ in November of 2016 because he broke FBI protocol and spoke to the media. The information Christopher Steele gave to David Corn of Mother Jones and Michael Isikoff of Yahoo! News ended up being published shortly before the 2016 election. In turn, the FBI then cited these same liberal media articles as EVIDENCE to support the FISA warrants on Carter Page. Now it is being revealed the FBI and DOJ were also leaking to the media and using those same press stories AS A SEPARATE SOURCE to justify FISA warrants. UNREAL!

Royal Ritual: Watch Freemasons Boast About Their Influence

Published 3 days ago on August 27, 2018 By Vigilant Citizen

This video of the Royal Ritual in London shows high-level Freemasons bragging about their heavy influence in all spheres of society … in an extremely symbolic setting. On October 31st, 2017, the Royal Ritual took place at the Royal Albert Hall in London where Freemasons celebrated the 300th anniversary of their influence on society. The event was presided by the Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of England: Prince Edward, Duke of Kent – the grandson of King George V and Queen Mary, and the cousin of Queen Elizabeth II. Attended by thousands of Freemasons from across the world (including 136 Grand Masters), the ceremony featured “sketches” bragging about the influence of Masonry on modern society, including its important role in the creation of the United States. It mentions several times the fact that their all-seeing eye is prominently featured on American bank notes. Of course, all of this happens on a checkerboard pattern floor and under a gigantic compass and All-Seeing Eye. Here’s the video. After singing “God Save the Queen”, Benjamin Franklin and George Washington (two prominent Freemasons) come out to explain how America was founded on Masonic principles. – I hold to be self-evident, brother Franklin, all men are created equal. – Indeed, brother Washington, all Freemasons meet as equals as we have the opportunity to create a nation in the very essence of Masonic morality. It would be wonderfully symbolic, don’t you think? – You’ll be wanting to put the all-seeing eye on our banknotes next. They go on to brag about the Masonic symbolism in Washington, DC. – The plans for our new capital city already have a very Masonic feel to them, yeah.

They then talk about the great number of Masonic presidents, about how “Freemasonry will be embedded in American culture” and how the Statue of Liberty is a giant Masonic gift from French Freemasons. They also add: “Do not forget about the musicians”. Because there are lots of musicians who are Freemasons. As seen in countless articles on this site, the music business is deeply embedded in occult principles (although many people in this industry are part of “darker” occult orders). The ceremony ends with the initiation of a Masonic candidate by Prince Edward. While this royal ritual contained absolutely nothing secret or occult (it is a public event), it nevertheless lays out in the open various facts that are often dismissed as a “conspiracy theory”. The symbolism on the stage (which is reminiscent of an MTV music awards performance) is a clear reminder that mass media is replete with THEIR symbols, starting with the all-seeing eye. As documented on this site for the past 10 years, this symbols is now omnipresent, indicating the elite’s total control of popular culture.

Detective, Who Exposed Elite Pedophile Ring, Found Dead Police detective-turned-author killed after exposing government pedophilia network

By: Jay Greenberg |@NeonNettle on 26th August 2018 @ 8.00p

A former police detective-turned-investigative author has been found dead, just days after publishing a book that exposed a high-level government pedophile ring. 58-year-old Mark Minne was found with a bullet to his head on August 14, but many people are refusing to believe the "official" police version - that he committed suicide at his friend's farm near the coastal city of Port Elizabeth, South Africa. Minne's family is claiming that he would never kill himself - a point he had brought up with them - and that he feared people were after him because he was about to expose even more elite pedophilia. The highly-respected detective authored the controversial book "The Lost Boys of Bird Island" which was published on August 5th, 2018, and exposed shocking child abuse and corruption that he had witnessed whilst working on the police force. After leaving law enforcement, Minne devoted his post-police life to exposing the government-orchestrated child trafficking he discovered while working as a detective but was previously blocked from investigating. Minne, along with his good friend Chris Steyn, also a former cop turned investigative journalist, authored the book together to expose high-level government officials and powerful elites who took children to Bird Island where they were abused and murdered. The level of involvement in the pedophile ring by the government was detailed in the book, along with reports on the abuse of the victims, alleged acts of murder to cover up the crimes, and the corruption and exploitation of high-level state resources by the network’s members. Have your say - ⇓ Hit the comments below ⇓ Nine days after Mark Minne exposed these crimes in his book, he was dead. The book details the corruption within the last Apartheid government of South Africa and implicated officials all the way to the top, including defense minister Magnus Malan and the minister of environmental affairs John Wiley. Before his death, Minnie announced that he was approached by many more people with even more damning evidence which he planned to reveal in a sequel of the book. However, he died before he could finish it. The book was published earlier this month on August 5 and only nine days later, Minnie would be found dead. Officials claim they found a suicide note at the scene, but his family says they don’t believe it at all. Tersia Dodo, a family member of Minnie told reporters that just days before he died that if anything happened to him, they must know he was killed. “He mentioned to us all the time that his life was in danger and if anything did happen to him we must know that it was done to him, not by himself,” she said. Dodo says Minnie was being watched and feared for his life because he had more information which would’ve exposed even more people. “I knew about the book for many years and I knew what he had been through, it really played him that he had seen and been involved with the investigation surrounding the book,” Dodo told SABC. Dodo came forward on her own after she saw the suicide narrative being played out in the media. She said she was compelled to do so, to dispel the myths. “Mark was not a coward, Mark faced life head-on,” she said. "There is no ways that I or any of us believed that he would have opted out and that is why I agreed to do this interview to dispel any thoughts and rumors of suicide. "He was not the type of man that was cowardly and that would do something like that.” As for the note police allegedly found next to Minnie’s body, Dodo believes it is either fake or was written under duress. “I have said this from the beginning, this supposed suicide note was either written under duress and I would like to see it before I will believe it was written by Mark,” she said. This case is eerily similar to that of a man who was allegedly murdered in Lithuania after he began exposing high-level government pedophiles. A teenage refugee from Lithuania came forward last year with a White House petition and a damning testimony showing what happened after his family tried to expose a little girl’s abusers. When his four-year-old cousin accused two high-level government officials—describing it in heartbreaking detail—Korolis Venckienė learned the hard way how the government protects its vilest members, up to and including using hundreds of militarized police and even murder. As Venckienė explained in his petition on WhiteHouse.gov, this nightmare started when their family attempted to seek justice for the sick men who allegedly raped his four-year-old cousin. “In 2008, 4-year-old Deimante Kedyte described her sexual assault by high-level Lithuanian officials. "Her testimony was later verified as true by separate commissions. "She never had her day in court,” Venckienė wrote. When the teen’s uncle, Drasius Kedys, Deimante’s father pushed for the men to be prosecuted for what they did to his daughter, he was murdered. If Minnie was actually murdered, hopefully, the information he was planning on releasing still comes forward. The only way to stop these vile actors is to shine light into the darkness. While Minnie has been silenced, his work can live on to be that light.

Saudi Arabia beheads female activist in public: Report

Source: Press TV

TEHRAN, August 19 – Saudi Arabian sources are reporting public beheading of a female activist, who had spent three years in detention for criticizing the kingdom’s rulers.

TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) – The Thefreethoughts Twitter account and other Saudi sources said the female, named as Esra al-Ghamgam, was executed on the prosecutor’s orders on Sunday. It shared a video showing an executioner fixing her in a recumbent position on the ground before decapitating her with a sword as security forces stood by. Ghamgham was detained alongside her husband Seyyed Musa Ja’afar Hashem during a security raid on their house in the mainly Shia region of Qatif in Eastern Province on December 8, 2015. Citing the Twitter account, London-based al-Quds al-Arabinewspaper reported earlier that her detention had come in response to her “anti-establishment” activities. It said the activist used to take part in peaceful protests in the region in support of democracy and release of political prisoners. The kingdom’s Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman has been trying to portray himself as the champion of social reformation and a liberalizing figure. Back in May, he lifted the kingdom’s ban on female driving but shortly before it, Saudi security forces went on an arrest spree of female activists, including some of the people who had supported the removal of the ban. The campaigners are reportedly still behind bars, with both the arrests and continued detentions drawing outspoken criticism from international rights groups.

These Images Show The Disastrous Result Of Chemically Castrating Generations Of Men Which Could Lead To 'The Extinction Of The Human Species'

By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine August 27, 2018

I could just say "nuff said and be done because a picture speaks more than a thousand words. I could also apologize to readers for the image above, which apparently has become a new "thing" amidst the all out war against men and masculinity by liberals, and the LGBT community along with today's version of feminists, but I won't apologize because it is vitally important that men be aware of the result of decades of feminizing men. Panties, G-strings, bras, and lingerie sets, bodysuits, nighties, teddies, mini dresses, rompers, and more, specifically for men, are being sold at the website "HommeMystere, lingerie for men." (WARNING - That link contains very disturbing images) The link, along with a variety of images has been making the rounds across social media and thankfully the reactions, at least in my timeline which skewers conservative, has been highly negative to this concept. THE WAR AGAINST MEN IS REAL We have all seen the "toxic masculinity" articles and stories, where feminists and the LGBT community continuously attempt to push for the idea that "beta males" are more favorable to manly men. As a normal woman, let me assure the gentlemen reading this, nothing is farther from the truth. That is evidenced by the same people that push that nonsensical idea, also refusing to date men that have bought into the concept. We have seen stories coming from the UK, where boys can no longer wear shorts, just trousers or "skirts," with feminists claiming that skirts shouldn't be banned but boys should be encouraged to wear female apparel in order to "break down gender stereotypes." We have seen fashion houses promoting "men in dresses," and school programs targeting children here in America with drags queens offering children story hours, reading to them, with liberal websites like the Huffington Post claiming these types of kids' programs are something "we all need in our lives." Errrr.... No, we don't. There is no segment of society more under attack that white Christian males, but the images are the result of a decades old war against men that started with using chemicals to decimate the male population, causing decreased birth rates and the emasculation and feminization of men. CHEMICALLY CASTRATING MEN IS PART OF THE DEPOPULATION AGENDA It is no secret that the global elites have been pushing a depopulation agenda for decades, from the March 2009 U.N. Population Division policy brief, to prominent world figures blatantly talking about it, but what we do know is there are chemicals that every household uses every single day, that has been part of implementing the depopulation agenda over the course of time. Xenoestrogens mimic estrogen and suppresses testosterone. Those include Atrazine which is found in 94 percent of the U.S. drinking water, and according to Berkeley Research back in 2010, "wreaks havoc with the sex lives of adult male frogs, emasculating three-quarters of them and turning one in 10 into females." Others include but are not limited to; Aspartame (artificial sweetener), Dioxines, Phthalates (found in plastics and vinyl), Organophosphates (pesticides), Estradiol (dairy products). These chemicals and many others used in our daily lives cause a variety of reactions from reducing sperm count, to testicular atrophy and tumors, to producing testosterone, to causing reproductive problems, birth defects and decreasing semen volume. Here is an excellent list via Women in Balance Institute: • 4-Methylbenzylidene camphor (4-MBC) (sunscreen lotions); • Parabens (methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben and butylparaben commonly used as a preservative); •Benzophenone (sunscreen lotions); • Industrial products and Plastics: • Bisphenol A (monomer for polycarbonate plastic and epoxy resin; antioxidant in plasticizers); • Phthalates (plasticizers); • DEHP (plasticizer for PVC); • Polybrominated biphenyl ethers (PBDEs) (flame retardants used in plastics, foams, building materials, electronics, furnishings, motor vehicles); • Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs); • Food:• Erythrosine / FD&C Red No. 3; • Phenosulfothiazine (a red dye)• Butylated hydroxyanisole / BHA (food preservative); • Building supplies: • Pentachlorophenol (general biocide and wood preservative); • Polychlorinated biphenyls / PCBs (in electrical oils, lubricants, adhesives, paints); • Insecticides: • Atrazine (weed killer); • DDT (insecticide, banned); • Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (one of the breakdown products of DDT); • Dieldrin (insecticide); • Endosulfan (insecticide); • Heptachlor (insecticide); • Lindane / hexachlorocyclohexane (insecticide, used to treat lice and scabies); • Methoxychlor (insecticide); • Fenthion; • Nonylphenol and derivatives (industrial surfactants; emulsifiers for emulsion polymerization; laboratory detergents; pesticides); • Other: • Propyl gallate; • Chlorine and chlorine by-products; • Ethinylestradiol (combined oral contraceptive pill); • Metalloestrogens (a class of inorganic xenoestrogens); • Alkylphenol (surfactant used in cleaning detergents. The site also offers some suggestions to minimize your personal exposure to xenoestrogens. THE RESULTS FROM CHEMICALLY CASTRATING A GENERATION OF MEN The results can be seen in the statistics available, such as 30 million American men are afflicted with erectile dysfunction or impotence, according to Web MD. The Census Bureau’s March 2016 Current Population Survey shows there are nearly 157 million American males. According to Reuters in July 2017, sperm counts in men from America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand have dropped by more than 50 percent in less than 40 years. The lead author of the study, Hagai Levine, calls the results "quite shocking," stating "this is a classic under the radar huge public health problem that is really neglected. He then asserts "eventually we may have a problem and with reproduction in general. It may be the extinction of the human species." (Source) Testosterone levels in men have also massively decreased over time, as explained at Body Well USA in October 2016: My observations as a clinician have been confirmed by multiple studies. One of the more illuminating studies, the Massachusetts Male Aging Study (MMAS), gathered data on 1,500 randomly selected men in the Boston area in three distinct time periods over 17 years (1987-89, 1995-97, and 2002-04). It measured their total testosterone levels as well as their bioavailable testosterone levels (that is, the testosterone that was actually able to be utilized by the body) . What they found was that both total and bioavailable T levels were decreasing by 1.2% and 1.3% respectively – every year. That’s between 20.4% and 22.1% over the years of the study. Another large study, known as The Finnish Study, suggests that the drop in T levels was significant in younger men. A man born in 1970 has 20% less testosterone than his father did at the same age. In other words, a man who’s 46 this year has 20% less testosterone than his father did when he (the father) was 46! While there are a number of theories posed as to the cause, as that article states "Many of them center around endocrine disruptors – chemicals that interfere with your body’s hormonal systems. Perhaps it’s one or more of the fifty chemicals introduced into the food supply each week. Researchers have theorized pesticides on crops, mineral deficiencies due to factory farming, lack of sleep, and even cellphone radiation." NCBI reported in 2016 that testosterone has become one of the most widely prescribed medications in the USA, increasing five-fold according to 2011 data. Related: Generational decline in testosterone levels observed (Trend does not seem to be attributable to health and lifestyle changes) BOTTOM LINE - MULTI-PRONGED ATTACK AGAINST MEN The chemical castration and feminization of men throughout the decades was only one prong of a multi-pronged attack. Once a generation of men were already permanently altered by these everyday chemicals, then came the emotional and mental manipulation, the push for "beta males," the attacks against masculinity by calling it toxic, all in an attempt to convince men affected by the chemical castration that it is "normal" to become more feminine. Then came the dresses for men, promoted even within some of the most prominent fashion houses. Then the use of men for cosmetics commercials. Now..... lingerie for men. The images shown in the article above, are the disastrous result of chemically castrating generations of men.

Russia announces its largest war games since the Cold War, involving 300,000 troops and every airborne unit

Huge war games to take place between September 11 and 15 in eastern Russia

Some 1,000 aircraft, 300,000 troops and two Russian naval fleets will take part

Thousands of troops from China and Mongolia will travel to Tsugol training range

Drills are the biggest since Zapad-81 which involved up to 150,000 troops in 1981

By Julian Robinson for MailOnline and Afp and Reuters Published: 06:17 EDT, 28 August 2018 | Updated: 10:26 EDT, 28 August 2018

Russia has today announced it will hold its largest war games since the Cold War in a massive military exercise that will also involve the Chinese and Mongolian armies. Some 1,000 aircraft, 300,000 troops and two naval fleets will take part in the drills in central and eastern Russian military districts next month. The war games, called Vostok-2018 (East-2018), will also involve all of the country's airborne units, Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said. It will be the country's biggest war games since 1981, when some 150,000 Soviet troops took in Zapad-81. The manoeuvres will take place at a time of heightened tension between the West and Russia, which is concerned about what it says is an unjustified build-up of the NATO military alliance on its western flank. NATO says it has beefed up its forces in eastern Europe to deter potential Russian military action after Moscow annexed Ukraine's Crimea in 2014 and backed a pro-Russian uprising in eastern Ukraine. The Vostok-2018 exercises will be carried out from September 11 to 15 with China and Mongolia joining Russian units at the Tsugol training range in the Trans-Baikal region. 'This will be something of a repeat of Zapad-81, but in some senses even bigger,' Sergei Shoigu said of the 1981 war games in Eastern Europe, in comments reported by Russian news agencies. He said 'more than 1,000 aircraft, almost 300,000 troops and almost all the ranges of the Central and Eastern military districts' would be involved in the exercises. 'Imagine 36,000 pieces of military equipment moving together at the same time - tanks, armoured personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles. And all of this, of course, in conditions as close to combat as possible.' The war games are likely to displease Japan which has already complained about what it says is a Russian military build-up in the Far East. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is due to attend an economic forum in Vladivostok during the same period. According to Russian News Agency Tass, the size of the Russian Armed Forces stands at 1,902,758 personnel, including 1,013,628 servicemen. Moscow said last year's Zapad-2017 military drills, conducted in ally Belarus and regions of Russia, saw the participation of roughly 12,700 troops. But NATO claimed Russia could have been massively underreporting the scale of the exercises, which some of the alliance's eastern members said involved more than 100,000 servicemen. The Russian military has increased both the scope and frequency of its maneuvers amid tensions with the West. It also has expanded military ties with China. Moscow and Beijing have conducted a series of joint military maneuvers, including exercises in the South China Sea and navy drills in the Baltics last summer. The two countries have forged what they described as a 'strategic partnership,' expressing their shared opposition to the 'unipolar' world - the term they use to describe perceived U.S. global domination. In September, China is due to send 3,200 elite troops from the Northern Theatre Command as well as 30 fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters to the war games event. When asked if the cost of holding such a massive military exercise was justified at a time when Russia is faced with higher social spending demands, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said such war games were essential. 'The country's ability to defend itself in the current international situation, which is often aggressive and unfriendly towards our country, means (the exercise) is justified and essential,' Peskov told reporters on a conference call. NATO spokesman Dylan White said that Russia had briefed the alliance on the planned exercise in May and that NATO planned to monitor it. Russia had invited military attaches from NATO countries based in Moscow to observe the war games, an offer he said was under consideration. 'All nations have the right to exercise their armed forces, but it is essential that this is done in a transparent and predictable manner,' White said in an emailed statement. 'Vostok demonstrates Russiaâs focus on exercising large-scale conflict. It fits into a pattern we have seen over some time: a more assertive Russia, significantly increasing its defence budget and its military presence.' Shoigu this month announced the start of snap combat readiness checks in central and eastern military districts ahead of the planned exercise.

The NY Times Covering Up Genocide & Forced Famine Leading To Cannibalism In The Past Hints Of Peril Ahead

- If we let them get away with this, the last few lights will be extinguished and America will be plunged into darkness

August 28, 2018 By William B Stoecker - All News Pipeline

The New York Slimes. Yes, I’m referring to what most people call the New York Times. Recently, the “newspaper of record,” the “gray lady”, posted on its website a vile, pornographic animated cartoon depicting Trump and Putin as scantily clad homosexual lovers. There was a time when the sleaziest tabloid in the country would not have published or posted anything as low as this, but that was a time when we still had some moral standards, some remnant of good taste, and something at least resembling a free press. The animation is a clear indication of the low morals of the Trump-hating leftists, of their lack of taste, and of the fact that they (correctly or incorrectly) see Putin as a populist not unlike Trump himself, and, hence, a threat to their cherished dream of a New World Order. Even a few years ago, no paper as prestigious as the Slimes used to be would have sunk so low. But they and other slimestream media outlets are continuing to sink, and, as we shall see, the Slimes was never worthy of the adulation showered on it by so many people who should have known better. Founded in 1851, the New York Slimes is seventeenth in circulation of all the newspapers on Earth and has received 125 of the coveted Pulitzer Prizes for journalism, all the more remarkable considering that journalism (like comedy) is dead in America. It is published by the NY Times Company, owned since 1896 by the Ochs-Sulzberger family; the current publisher is A.G. Sulzberger. The paper’s motto is “all the News That’s Fit to Print,” but it should be “All the News Approved by the NWO Elites.” That, at least, would be accurate. At one time the paper really did some investigative reporting, exposing the crimes of Tammany Hall and William “Boss” Tweed in 1870-71. As late as 1971 the Slimes published the Pentagon Papers, exposing the very real crimes, cover-ups, and lies perpetrated by the US government during the Vietnam War. But long before that the paper had already gone downhill, becoming just another leftist rag. Its Moscow Bureau Chief 1922-1936, was British-born Walter Duranty. He was a communist who adored the murderous Josef Stalin, and denied the Holodomor (the deliberately engineered Ukrainian famine) ever happened. Yet it did happen, when Stalin, because Ukrainian peasants were resisting collectivization, confiscated all the grain harvest and other foodstuffs in vast rural areas of Ukraine, and then blocked roads to keep food out and the people in until millions died a slow, horrible death of starvation, with entire families dying together and some people reduced to cannibalism. The Slimes also covered up the Nazi extermination of Jews in WWII and, for 13 months, sat on a report in 2,005 of warrantless spying by the US government on law-abiding citizens. Ever eager to prove their adoration of Black people, the editors hired one, Jason Blair, as a reporter, despite a lack of qualifications, and he finally had to be fired for plagiarizing. They should have vetted him more carefully. Most recently they hired, as a tech writer, Sarah Jeong, a twisted feminazi and racist who professes to hate all men, all the police, and all Caucasians. And her record was available for all to see before they ever hired her. But of course, they had not really vetted Duranty either. In addition to being a communist, Duranty was a drug addict and a promiscuous bisexual (it seems to go with the territory) and a Satanist, belonging to Aleister Crowley’s OTO (Order of the Temple of the Orient) a Luciferian cult closely connected to the ones who created the Nazi Party in Germany. He even married Crowley’s ex-mistress, Jane Cheron. Other prominent members of OTO have included the American rocket engineer Jack Parsons, and L. Ron Hubbard, who would go on to found the influential Scientology cult. And Duranty got the Pulitzer Prize for covering for Stalin. This is what the elites do: they write articles praising one another as noble statesmen and muck-raking investigative journalists, etc., and give one another meaningless prizes (take a look at the people who’ve been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize over the years). The Pulitzer Prize for journalism was established in 1917 by Hungarian-American Joseph Pulitzer, a wealthy newspaper publisher, and is administered by the ultra-leftist Columbia University. Readers may recall that Hussein Obama allegedly attended Columbia, although no one there remembers it. Graduates of the Columbia School of “Journalism” (originally endowed by Pulitzer) tend to fill many of the top posts in the news business. So the Slimes is not worthy of all the praise and respect it has been given. It is typical of America’s slimestream media, most of which is controlled by just six companies: G.E., Newscorp, Disney,Viacom, Time-Warner, and CBS. If we generously assume that about ten directors control each of these, sixty very wealthy people decide what “news” the American people will be fed. Uncannily, almost all of the world’s billionaires, supposedly beholden to free-market capitalism, in fact are leftists, supporting open borders and one-world government. As if this wasn’t bad enough, the CIA in the early nineteen fifties, with its Operation Mockingbird, began infiltrating student groups and magazines, and recruiting journalists, including Richard Helms, who became Director of the CIA. CNN’s Anderson Cooper has even admitted working with the CIA. This is the same “patriotic” CIA that hired John Brennan after he voted for a communist during the Cold War and made him Director after he became an Islamist (and, almost certainly, a practicing Muslim). Today the internet is a real alternative to the New York Slimes and the rest of the controlled media. Already the elites control many sites, and recently they have begun, incrementally, censoring the patriot sites they do not control. If we let them get away with this, the last few lights will be extinguished and America will be plunged into darkness, and when the henchmen of the elites begin the mass arrests and genocide we won’t even see them coming. It would be better to fight them now…while we can still see our targets. William B Stoecker

South Africa Civil War Looms As White Farmers, 'Black Hitler' "Willing To Die" Over Property Confiscation

by Tyler Durden Mon, 08/27/2018 - 14:40

As South African President Ramaphosa's 'land reform' plans begin to confiscate white farmer-owned lands with no compensation, the rhetoric on both sides of the policy are beginning to signal little hope of avoiding direct inter-racial conflict, or another civil war. Ramaphosa insists: “This is no land grab. Nor is it an assault on the private ownership of property... Land reform in South Africa is a moral, social and economic imperative. “By bringing more land into productive use, by giving more South Africans assets and opportunities, the country is creating conditions for greater, more inclusive and more meaningful growth” But a number of black South Africans appear to see things a little differently to their president: “Let us kill the white man, the white man must die” Imam of Peace @Imamofpeace

“Let us kill the white man, the white man must die” #SouthAfricanfarmers 6:25 AM - Aug 26, 2018   9,525 13.2K people are talking about this

Echoing Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema says they're prepared to die if it means South Africa will achieve land expropriation without compensation. In June, Simon Black warned that Malema, the so-called 'Hitler of South Africa', was busy telling white people in his country that he’s not going wage genocide against them. Yet. But now, as EWN reports, the party has claimed that it's aware of white extremists who are opposed to the policy and are training as snipers in Pretoria to kill them. Malema was addressing the media on Thursday at the party's headquarters in Braamfontein. “They will kill us for that. There’s a group of white right-wingers who are being trained by Jews in Pretoria to be snipers…” Additionally, Malema has accused President Ramaphosa and the Democratic Alliance (DA) of colluding with AfriForum to sabotage plans to expropriate land without compensation. A decade ago few people had heard of Malema. Now he commands millions and grows more powerful each day. So, the president says there's nothing going on; the people are being incited by leaders like Malema into extreme violence; and the white farming community is dying and pleading for the international community to pay attention: Danie Barnard @DaanBarnard A message to the international community from a boer in #SouthAfrica the reality of our situation. Please RT. #FarmMurders #SouthAfrica 5:43 AM - Aug 27, 2018 31.4K 30.1K people are talking about this  And the following white farmer, set to become the first to officially have his USD15 million game reserve seized says South Africa’s land grab policy is theft and warned: "I have the right to defend my property by force. And I will." As The Daily Mail reports, Johan Steenkamp who co-owns a game farm in Limpopo province, has been ordered to hand over his land, following a ten-year battle to stop the government buying it for a tenth of its value. Mr Steenkamp says President Cyril Ramaphosa's plans of redistribution of white-owned land to South Africa's black poor is just a cover so that the government can get their hands on valuable coal deposits found under his farm land. The 67-year-old farmer said he is ready to defend his property by force if the government tries to take his land, saying: "If it comes to a fight so be it, I am not going to leave the country and I am not going to leave my farm." Mr Steenkamp said that if the land claims court rules that he must accept a fraction of the value of the land then they are 'up for a fight'. He said: "I am not going to leave the country and I am not going to leave my farm. I am going nowhere. I will defend my farm and if it comes to a fight so be it. "I will do whatever it takes to defend my farm. I don't want confrontation but the the Constitution says that I have the right to defend my property and my family and that is what I will be doing if anyone comes for my farm. "I will not be initiating force but my gates will be locked and I will have security here. If there is any force it will not be initiated by me. "If others use force and it starts to get out of hand then I will defend myself." "This attempted seizure of our farm is not about a noble attempt to redistribute the land to the poor of Africa but it is all about the government getting their hands on the minerals." Finally, here is Lauren Southern's controversial 'Farmlands' documentary, investigating the 'white genocide': "not only are the farm murders real, the genuine numbers are far higher than anyone imagined."

South Africans Say Trump is Right: White Farmers Being Slaughtered

‘As a South African boer I can tell you guys that it is 100% correct what Mr. Trump said in his tweet’

Adan Salazar | Infowars.com - August 27, 2018 “As you all may know, President Trump last week Wednesday made a tweet about what is going on in South Africa and there was a lot of backlash from the fake news mainstream media, especially in the United States,” Barnard said, going on to say his grandfather was murdered on his farm. “As a South African boer I can tell you guys that it is 100% correct what Mr. Trump said in his tweet.” “We do not try to spread any false information, nor are we right wing extremists, or Nazis as they are calling us. We are only citizens that are fearing for our lives because we live in a very violent society in South Africa. And it is true. It’s not only the white South Africans but also the black South Africans, but the big difference here is our government actually encourages violence towards whites and endorses it…” Here’s a video example of one chant mentioned by Barnard, in which South Africans call for killing whites. JOHNMEYER @JOHNMEY28401489

Following the tweet, the South African government issued a statement saying Trump’s perception of the issue was “based on false information.” “South Africa totally rejects this narrow perception which only seeks to divide our nation and reminds us of our colonial past,” the government wrote in a tweet. “South Africa will speed up the pace of land reform in a careful and inclusive manner that does not divide our nation.” On Monday South African Minister for International Relations and Cooperation Lindiwe Sisulu also slammed Trump in a CNN interview, saying it was “unfortunate” the president had “misinterpreted” the government’s goal of compulsory land redistribution. Also on Monday, South Africa President Cyril Ramaphosa claimed the confiscation of white-owned farms “is no land grab” in a Financial Times op-ed, while going on to admit the African National Congress “recently resolved to propose a constitutional amendment that would make explicit the conditions under which land could justifiably be expropriated without compensation.”

December weather in August: Unusual snow and cold snap engulfs BC and Alberta in Canada and unseasonal snow falls in Glacier National Park, Montana

By Strange Sounds - Aug 27, 2018

Unusual weather again! Last weekend, a cold snap engulfed central Europe bringing in some places more than 40cm (17.5 inches) of snow overnight. But it seems Italy, Germany, Austria and Slovenia weren’t the only countries freezing around the globe. The National Weather Service office in Missoula has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for elevations above 6,000 feet in Glacier National Park. Meanwhile, snowfalls were reported in BC and Alberta, while Ontario and Quebec brace for a new heat wave in Canada. Snow in Glacier National Park while the Howe Ridge fire keeps burning While the Howe Ridge fire keeps burning on the west side of Glacier National Park near Lake McDonald, Mother Nature is busy adding some touches of white elsewhere. The National Weather Service office in Missoula has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for elevations above 6,000 feet in Glacier National Park as well as for the Whitefish and Flathead Mountain ranges in Northwest Montana. Areas above 7,000 feet could see around 1″-to-3″ of snow with locally heavier amounts possible. – KPax  Unseasonal snow in Western Canada while East brace for new heat wave In some parts of Canada, the end of summer vacation is bringing some of the hottest temperatures of the year, while in other areas, it’s bringing weather more typically experienced in December than during the last week of August.  snow alberta, snow canmore, snow bc alberta august 2018 Some B.C. communities saw temperatures dip near or below the freezing mark Monday morning.

Snow fell in Canmore, Banff and other Alberta mountain communities on Monday, Aug. 27, 2018. The cold snap marked Prince George’s second unusual weather phenomenon in eight days, following the ash-filled skies that had shrouded the city from the sun as smoke from some of the province’s hundreds of active wildfires drifted over the region. It was a very different story in Eastern Canada, where heat warnings were in place for most of southern Ontario and parts of southern Quebec, with daily highs at or above 30 C through Wednesday. – CTV News

IRON MAN ARMY Russia tests ‘Robocop’ exo-skeleton armour that lets ‘cyborg’ squaddies shoot with machine-like accuracy

The battery powered suits allow squaddies to fire machine guns one-handed with computer accuracy

By James Cox 27th August 2018, 10:32 pm Updated: 28th August 2018, 12:07 am

RUSSIA has tested a battlefield exo-skeleton that will turn its soldiers into an army of Iron Men. The battery powered 'Robocop' suits allow squaddies to fire machine guns one-handed with computer accuracy. Russia is testing terrifying exo-suit armour that turns soldiers into cyborg warriors The futuristic gear lets soldiers run faster while wielding heavy automatic weapons. Military tech firm TsNiiTochMash have developed the Ratnik-3 ‘Soldier of the Future’ suit, which is made from titanium. Chief designer Oleg Faustov told Russian news agency TASS: "We have already held trials for the prototype of the active exoskeleton. "It really enhances a serviceman’s physical abilities. For example, the tester was able to shoot from a machine-gun only with one hand and accurately hit targets." The suit lets squaddies carry more gear and shoot machine guns single-handed They hope to perfect the design by 2025, claiming they want t make it stronger and faster before rolling it out on battlefields. But the exo-suits have one major floor - they have no storage battery, meaning it has a limited amount of time during combat. Scientists say they are confident of improving the power source. The skeleton hangs over the soldiers' shoulders and around their waist, supporting backpack weight of up to 50kg. It's metal arm supports heavy weapons. Earlier this year, we revealed Russia's deadly arsenal of futuristic weapons which are way ahead of the rest of the world. The Red Army also unveiled it's deadly army of robot killers, including the dreaded gunslinger model.

The Coming Chinese Invasion of America-They Want Our Mineral Resources

The Internet is filled with the new revelations that the Chinese are employing laser beam technology to induce earthquakes. This is a cover story for the false flag that is coming which will use the same technology which will serve to assist the Chinese in taking over the United States. And what do the Chinese get for their trouble? They get our substantial mineral wealth. Here is what I have learned.  We Are Broke…Kind of…. Contrary to what the power brokers would have you believe in order that you’ll give up your pension, cut your wages, and settle for the life that people live in a third world country, the globalists want you to believe that your nation is broke and there is nothing you can do about it. In fact the opposite is true. I am calling on President Trump to expose the fact that the United States of America is awash in an unimaginable amount of mineral wealth. What belongs to the people has been transferred, in the greatest theft in world history, from the workers and consumers to the government as well as the banks and the portfolios of the criminal elite gangsters which control the politicians with insider-trading and outright bribes. The banks are able to loan against the value at a ratio of 9 to 1 in this modern day version of fractional reserve banking. However, the biggest theft of American assets is literally happening right below our noses. The banks will soon forsake their holdings as the government, as I am being told, will move to nationalize every bit of mineral resource wealth in this country under Executive Order 13603 or an updated version of the same. Today just 400 Americans have more wealth than half of all Americans combined. Despite this grim statistic which reveals the wealth imbalance in this country, our nation has never been wealthier. Far beneath the ground, the federal government and its bankster puppeteers, own the rights to mineral and energy leases, from which they receive royalties, rents, and bonus payments, states the Institute for Energy Research, an industry group. According to their estimates, government states that the assets are worth $128 trillion. That’s almost eight times the national debt. “These resources could be leased to third parties and could subsequently earn the state and national government huge royalties, rents, and bonus payments that estimates could total almost $150 billion over 10 years, just for the oil and gas leases alone”. Then why isn’t this being done? Simple, ask yourself who would lose money if this were to come to fruition? These vast resources have been promised to the Chinese and they are moving to take possession. Already, the Chinese are in Hawaii to take possession of what gold America has left and this is old news. The Chinese run our solar energy business with their military front corporations. Their soldiers are embedded and ready to act. In the past several years, we have learned that a series of international “inland ports” will be created in conjunction with known mineral rich areas and control of these areas will be handed off to the Chinese. Further, the Chinese military will be stationed around these inland ports to ensure safety and security of the Chinese investment and its mining and geological personnel. This will be the foothold of their invasion force. For reasons to be discussed in the latter part of this article, there is a much more ominous reason why the Chinese troops will soon be a common occurrence on American soil. This will constitute only the beginning of the short-range take over the Chinese have planned for America. Confirmation of the fact that the Chinese will soon be taking possession of American mineral resources, comes from a former CIA agent. During the course of my interview with this undisclosed source, he unequivocally stated that China will be taking control of our mineral rich land resources in repayment for the tremendous debt the United States owes China. This would be a revelation that some will challenge because the “bury my head in the sand crowd” is frightened by the revelations, except, I reported the existence of as well as the estimated dollar amount of this mineral wealth on February 6, 2018, on my website and shortly after that, I aired these facts on the Dan Cofall Show airing in Dallas/Ft. Worth on station 1190AM a short time later. America’s Debt As it has been widely reported, America has three levels of debt which needs to examined in context with this stunning revelation of largely unknown mineral wealth: National Deficit of $21 trillion dollars Unfunded liabilities ($238 trillion dollars) in the form of Social Security, Medicare, etc. Derivatives debt estimated at between $1 quadrillion to $1.5 trillion dollars. Trump has improved the economy, but the debt has worsened and this is our Achilles heel. As one can clearly see, we can pay off our immediate bills and cover more than half of our unfunded liabilities. The derivatives debt should be repudiated because it is the result of illegal banker investments. America has the ability to stem the debt tide. With the development of these assets along with getting rid of the parasitic Federal Reserve, America could be back on the path of national prosperity. However, this does not fit into the globalist agenda which seeks to totally destroy America as well as most of the people within the country. China has bought our debt and now they are owed. America and the Globalist Agenda The globalists goal is to establish a one world government and a one world economic system (which is nearly complete as I write these words) which is ruled with extreme authoritarianism and brutality in a futuristic version of neo-feudalism. To accomplish these goals, there can be no Bill of Rights and American prosperity must be obliterated. This is what we are in the midst of at this time as America is being torn down brick by brick. As I have previously documented over the past several weeks, The Chinese military constitutes one of the flavors of the martial law occupation forces. Giving away America’s mineral resources to China accomplishes a number of goals. First, America will never financially recover from the death blow delivered by Hank Paulson, George W. Bush and the so-called bailouts of 2008. Secondly, the presence of Chinese soldiers on our soil will soon become so commonplace, most of the American sheep will scarcely notice and when martial law is declared, the Chinese will be “invited” to help under the UN banner. Third, when a major false flag event happens (e.g. the use of earthquake weapons in the New Madrid fault to initiate a tsunami in the Gulf of Mexico because of their connected plate tectonics), the Chinese troops and their allies (i.e. to be discussed in future articles) will be rolled out in a form of a brutal genocidal martial law and will be enforced by Chinese troops. Step and back and look at what was just written. Between steps two and three, there will be a financial collapse of this country. Simultaneously, a power grid take down will occur. I am consulting with some sources this week and this will form the basis of part two of this series. However, the facts presented here have been a long time coming and the elements for the take down of the US are in play and will be carried out by the Deep State and their allies, the Chinese. The alarmist news of Chinese earthquake weapons is the beginning of a false flag as the following abstract demonstrates below. Abstract One of Many Official References to Earthquake Weapons II.

Trump says he's 'terminating' NAFTA, announces new trade agreement with Mexico

Alex Pappas  By Alex Pappas, Andrew O'Reilly | Fox News

President Trump on Monday said he plans to terminate the existing North American Free Trade Agreement, as he announced a new tentative agreement between the United States and Mexico that he described as "one of the largest trade deals ever made." "I'll be terminating the existing deal and going into this deal," the president said in the Oval Office, calling it a "big day for trade." But the president said Monday “we’ll see” if Canada can still be part of the trade pact, leaving open the possibility of separate agreements. "We are starting negotiations with Canada pretty much immediately," Trump said. Trump, sitting at the Resolute Desk, put Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto on his speaker phone as the press watched in the Oval Office. The Mexican president, speaking through a translator, congratulated the negotiators on both sides and expressed hope the United States and Canada would come to an agreement. Later, the White House said Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau congratulated Trump. "The leaders discussed US - Canada trade and agreed to continue productive conversations," White House officials said. Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump   Our relationship with Mexico is getting closer by the hour. Some really good people within both the new and old government, and all working closely together....A big Trade Agreement with Mexico could be happening soon!

9:22 AM - Aug 25, 2018 97.1K 43.1K people are talking about this

Earlier in the day, Trump said he wanted to get rid of the name “NAFTA” because it has bad connotations. He said he planned to call the deal the "United States-Mexico Trade Agreement" instead. The United States Trade Representative called the U.S.-Mexico deal a “preliminary agreement in principle, subject to finalization and implementation.” “They used to call it NAFTA, we are going to call it the United States-Mexico Trade Agreement, and we will get rid of the name NAFTA,” Trump said. “It has a bad connotation because the United States was hurt very badly by NAFTA.” Trump on Monday called it "one of the largest trade deals ever made." The U.S. and Mexico have been working to resolve key differences on issues ranging from automobiles to energy. According to a fact sheet from the United States Trade Representative, the agreement includes new rules of origin to incentivize manufacturers to source goods and materials in North America – including requiring 75 percent of auto content be made in the United States and Mexico. Officials in Canada, though, on Monday still expressed optimism over a deal. “Canada is encouraged by the continued optimism shown by our negotiating partners,” a spokesman for Canada's minister of foreign affair, Chrystia Freeland, said Monday. “Progress between Mexico and the United States is a necessary requirement for any renewed NAFTA agreement.” During the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump often railed against the trade pact as “the worst trade deal maybe ever signed anywhere.” Trump and Peña Nieto have been working for the past five weeks to iron out their bilateral differences so Canada can rejoin the talks to update NAFTA. The U.S. and Mexico wanted to finalize an agreement this month so that it can be signed ahead of Mexican President-elect Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s inauguration in December. One of the biggest issues on the negotiating table deals with car manufacturing jobs, as the Trump administration pushes for a deal that would boost factory employment in the U.S. U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Mexican Secretary of Economy Idelfonso Guajardo were seen walked together Monday into the White House without talking to reporters. The delegation also included Jesus Seade, a World Trade Organization veteran tapped by Lopez Obrador as his future chief trade negotiator. The U.S. on Thursday agreed to keep the 2.5 percent tariff currently applied under World Trade Organization rules if the cars are made at factories that already exist, which leaves open the possibility that automobiles that are built at new plants could face tariffs of 20 percent to 25 percent. Trump has also signaled that he is open to negotiating trade deals with Mexico and Canada separately, while both countries have said they want to keep the three-nation trade deal that dates back to 1994. Earlier in August, Trump threatened Canada with auto tariffs if the U.S. and Canada can't forge a deal. "Canada must wait," Trump tweeted. "Their Tariffs and Trade Barriers are far too high. Will tax cars if we can't make a deal!"  Canada responded with a statement Friday night, saying: "Our focus is unchanged. We'll keep standing up for Canadian interests as we work toward a modernized trilateral NAFTA agreement." Adam Austen, a spokesman for Canada's foreign minister, added: "We're glad Mexico and the U.S. continue to work out their bilateral issues. It's the only way we'll get to a deal."

World War 3 fears: Russia threaten NUCLEAR WEAPONS to Syria in response to US sanctions

RUSSIA may deploy nuclear weapons to Syria in response to the US policy of imposing sanctions over Moscow crossing “red lines”, a senior Russian lawmaker has warned.

By Matt Drake PUBLISHED: 04:26, Mon, Aug 27, 2018 | UPDATED: 08:42, Mon, Aug 27, 2018

Vladimir Gutenev, first deputy head of the economic policy committee of the State Duma, the lower chamber of the Russian parliament, said it is time for Russia to draw its own red lines. Among such measures, the official said the deployment of Russian tactical nukes in countries such as Syria, the use of gold-linked cryptocurrencies for Russian arms exports and the suspension of a number of treaties with the US – such as non-proliferation of missile technologies. Mr Gutenev said: "I believe that now Russia has to draw its own ‘red lines.’ "The time has come to ponder on variants of asymmetric response to the US, which are now being suggested by experts and are intended not only to offset their sanctions but also to do some retaliatory damage. “It’s no secret that serious pressure is being put on Russia, and it will only get worse. “It is intended to deal a blow to defence cooperation, including defence exports.” The minister added that Russia should follow the advice of “experts” and follow the US’ example of deploying nuclear weapons in other countries. He added: “We should follow the advice of certain experts, who say that Russia should possibly suspend the implementation of treaties on non-proliferation of missile technologies, and also follow the US example and start deploying our tactical nuclear weapons in foreign countries. “It is possible that Syria, where we have a well-protected airbase, may become one of those countries.” Commenting on sanctions already in place, Mr Gutenev said they are unlikely to do serious damage to Russia’s defence industry. He continued: “The import substitution program has produced very good results, alternative suppliers have been found. "However, we are concerned about the fact that the sanctions are still gaining momentum and have become somewhat imminent.” The US hit Russia with a fresh batch of sanctions on August 22 over its alleged involvement in the poisoning of former spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter in Salisbury. Sergei and his daughter Yulia were found unconscious on a bench near the Maltings shopping centre in Salisbury. The Department of State claims Russia breached the Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination Act, 1992.

It’s exactly the situation that the Bible says will bring about the Tribulation period of the last days. That’s the time when the Book of Revelation will come to life. It will include a series of unthinkable disasters – natural, environmental, political and spiritual. This is not politics as usual. And it is not confined to a single political party. In Mark 13:8, Jesus said that in the last days, “Nation will arise against nation.” When we go back to the Greek, we see that the word for nation literally means “people group.It’s not just talking about war between countries, but also war within them. And that’s what we’re seeing in America – and the world – right now. But an even sadder war is unfolding – the war of parents on their children. In just recent weeks, we learned about a Georgia man who left his 22-month old son to die in a steaming hot car. A Texas man who slit the throats of his 8-year-old son as he pleaded, “Daddy, I’m sorry!” and his one-year-old daughter as she cried. A Colorado man who confessed to killing his pregnant wife and probably killed his two young daughters and buried them in a crude oil well. A Jordanian Muslim man living in Texas who tried to kill his daughter because she shamed him by leaving Islam. He managed to kill her husband and her best friend. In 2 Timothy 3, the Apostle Paul says that “in the last days … men will be … unloving. …” (2 Timothy 3:1-3 NASB). The King James Version says that “men will be … without natural affection. …” “Natural affection” is a translation of the Greek word “stergo.” It refers to the love that binds parents and children together. The word actually used in this scripture is “astórgous.” It adds an “a” to the beginning. The “a” is a negative. A “theist” believes in God. An “atheist” does not believe in God. “Stergo” means the “natural affection” we feel toward our children or parents. “Astórgous” means “without natural affection.” It’s not just “unloving” or “unkind,” as so many translations say. It refers specifically to people not having the affection that is natural for their own kids or parents. In the United States alone, about 500 children each year are murdered by their own parents. Of course, that figure is dwarfed by the 60 million unborn babies who have been murdered by their own mothers since Roe v. Wade in 1973. But these sad statistics – each representing an even sadder story – just prove the reality that we are in the “last days” that Paul described. See Hal Lindsey’s many insightful columns at his WND archive! Lauren Geoghegan and her boyfriend Jay Austin, both 29, believed in a world filled with goodness and light. In fact, in April Jay wrote: “Evil is a make-believe concept we’ve invented to deal with the complexities of fellow humans holding values and beliefs and perspectives different than our own.” Were he alive today, Jay might not think “evil” is such a benign thing. But he is not. Neither is his girlfriend. In July of 2017, Jay and Lauren set off on an around-the-world bicycling adventure. It ended tragically in Tajikistan when they and two other cyclist-tourists were brutally run down by five terrorists in a car. The young men then jumped out of the car and stabbed Jay and Lauren and two others to death. A fifth cyclist survived the attack. Later, ISIS released video of the young men smiling and posing beneath an ISIS flag. Sadly, Jay met evil face-to-face and learned it is not a “make-believe concept.” Evil is real, and the father of evil roams the earth desiring to ultimately destroy all of us. Britain, too, is learning the hard way that evil is real. London is witnessing an explosion in stabbings, as well as car and acid attacks. There’s a section of London known as “murder mile.” In fact, in the last few years violent crime is exploding all across Europe. London’s Muslim mayor, Sadiq Khan, blames the crime wave on “government cutbacks.” But, increasingly, others are beginning to realize the real source of London’s increasing terror problem is radical Islam. In fact, it’s happening across Europe. In Sweden, for the first time in more than a century, it looks like the socialists may lose their lock on the Parliament. The Sweden Democrats are poised to become the largest bloc in Parliament after the Sept. 9 elections. Though the mainstream Swedish media paint them as “racists,” they are not. They are pro-traditional-Sweden and this year’s elections are being primarily driven by concerns over rampant immigration. When interviewed by a local TV news program, an unidentified Swedish citizen asked the question apparently on the minds of many Swedes: “Why should Sweden become a Middle Eastern country?” But it’s not just Sweden beginning to fight back. Six European countries, including France, have now enacted nationwide bans or partial bans on the wearing of face veils. Three others have bans in local cities. And four countries, including Germany, have legislation against veils pending. It is a safety issue since the police need to see faces. Also, the EU’s fight against terror increasingly depends on surveillance cameras that can’t see through veils. These cameras are hooked up to computers with facial recognition software. In “The Everlasting Hatred: The Roots of Jihad,” bestselling author Hal Lindsey lays bare the complex roots of Islamic fundamentalism and its plot to replace the Judeo-Christian world order with an Islamic world order. Get it now at the WND Superstore! But it’s more than just a safety concern. Europeans are finally beginning to realize they are losing their historical cultures. Revelation 1:5 calls Jesus “The ruler of the kings of the earth.” (NASB) Knowing that, you might wonder why this world is in such a mess! But it’s important to understand that, even though Christ has the right to rule the earth, He isn’t exercising His authority over the kings and kingdoms at this time. Satan won a temporary legal right to rule the kingdoms of the world when Adam foolishly relinquished his God-given authority to him in the Garden of Eden. When Satan tempted Jesus by offering Him “all the kingdoms of the world and their glory …” (Matthew 4:8-10 NASB), the Lord did not dispute Satan’s temporary legal claim to those kingdoms – and the right to offer them to Him. But Jesus knew that when His work on the cross was finished, Satan would be, too! In John 12:31, Jesus said, “The ruler of this world shall be cast out.” (NASB) It’s only a matter of time until Christ comes back to earth and claims His rightful role as King of Kings and Lord of Lords! What a day that will be! But the Apostle John assures us that, in the meantime, we have not been left to ourselves. He proclaims that right now – just as we are – we are loved with the continuous and pure love of Christ. Sometimes we’re tempted to think that the love of God had its highest culmination in the past, when God gave His Son to die for mankind. But the case is just the opposite. God’s love then was for His enemies. Now, it’s for His friends. Then God’s love reached out to man in all his ugliness and sins. Now it floods believers who have been washed from their sins and clothed with Christ’s robes of righteousness! Revelation 1 says, “To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.”  (Revelation 1:5-6 KJV) He has “washed us from our sins” – past tense. It’s already done. If only we could get it through our heads that we have been cleansed from our sins and their eternal judgment! He “has made us kings and priests” in Him. Again, that’s past tense. It’s done! The fullness of God’s great love is a present reality and His forgiveness of our sins is a past fact. We don’t have to wait and work to be forgiven. The work was fully accomplished when Christ shed His blood for us two thousand years ago. All that remains is for us to accept the pardon, which God is so eager to give us and to delight in the realities of His ever-present love!

Russia-China plan Siberia war games

Russia will hold its largest war games since the fall of the Soviet Union next month - with thousands of Chinese and Mongolian troops taking part in the exercises in Siberia. Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said the five days of drills will pave the way for the Vostok 2018 military exercise, the largest since 1981's massive Soviet war games - which involved as many as 150,000 troops. The games will have an "unprecedented scale both in territory and number of troops involved," Shoigu said in a statement. China will contribute 3,200 troops,900 weapons, and 30 planes and helicopters, which will deploy from Sept. 11 to 15, China's Defense Ministry said. The two countries have reached what they described as a "strategic partnership," expressing their shared opposition to the "unipolar" world, which is understood to be referencing the United States. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said President Vladimir Putin may attend the exercise.       Yaron Steinbuch, Wires

Abortion Fever: pro-abort ice cream; Oprah Winfrey urges women to brag about killing their unborn

Pro-aborts are in high gear opposing President Trump's nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. They are so determined to kill unborn humans that an ice cream shop in Portland, Oregon -- What's the Scoop -- partnered with the radical pro-abort group NARAL to create and market a new ice cream flavor called “Rocky Roe v. Wade” (The Blaze), so that customers can celebrate legally killing their unborn by eating an ice cream. Never mind the fact that the babies killed never get to taste ice cream, much less live. Now, Oprah Winfrey is urging women to brag about their abortions. Micaiah Bilger reports for LifeNews, Aug. 20, 2018, that Oprah Winfrey is using her "O" magazine to promote the "Shout Your Abortion" movement that "normalizes" the killing of unborn babies by urging women to brag about their abortions. The July issue of “O” magazine featured “Shout Your Abortion” founder Amelia Bonow in its “Inspiration” section, in which Bonow described the founding of Shout Your Abortion: “[W]hen I found out that the House of Representatives had voted to defund Planned Parenthood. I kind of unraveled. I opened Facebook and, without thinking, wrote, ‘Like a year ago, I had an abortion at Planned Parenthood…and I remember this experience with a nearly inexpressible level of gratitude.’ I hit Post 153 words later, and everything changed.... On some level, I’d internalized the stigma—though I honestly wasn’t ashamed. Then why hide? It wasn’t out of character for me to disclose something so personal online. What was out of character was my silence." Bonow blames the pro-life movement for trying to silence women who have had abortions: “The anti- choice movement wants it to be terrifying to speak the truth, because we can’t advocate for something we can’t say out loud. But the more of us who speak out, the clearer it becomes that all sorts of people have abortions, including people you love.” But LifeNews' Bilger points out that it is really the pro-abortion movement that silences women whose abortion stories do not fit their narrative: Long ago, pro-life advocates recognized the power of individual people and their stories in the abortion debate. The Silent No More Awareness campaign is just one example of the many pro-life storytelling outreaches. It encourages people who experienced pain and regret after their abortions to share their stories publicly, and its website documents thousands of stories of mothers, fathers, grandparents and others who experienced deep pain and remorse because of unborn babies’ abortion deaths. “O” magazine is doing a disservice to its readers by promoting the “Shout Your Abortion” campaign. Bonow’s movement gives the impression that women are glad they aborted their unborn babies. The truth is that some women regret their abortions and others do not, but no matter what the women’s feelings, their abortions destroyed another human being, their own child’s chance to ever have a story. Meanwhile, there is some good news. A recent CBS poll found that the majority of young millennial women (ages 18 to 35) reject unrestricted abortion, refuse a “feminist” identity, and do not trust the MSM: While 69% said Roe v. Wade that legalizes abortion should not be overturned, 72% favor some kind of abortion restriction: only 28% want abortion “legal in all cases”, 34% want abortion “legal in most cases", 25% want abortion “illegal in most cases,” and 13% want abortion “illegal in all cases.” More than half (54%) refuse to identify as feminists; 46% consider themselves feminists. Only 7% trust the media to “almost always” give “accurate information”; 25% said “most of the time"; 42% said “only sometimes"; 26% said “almost never.” H/t Big Lug ~Eowyn

Man accused of wanting to eat child sentenced to probation

The Associated Press August 20, 2018 10:01 AM Updated August 20, 2018 10:02 AM

GREENVILLE, S.C.

A man who South Carolina authorities say wanted to enslave and eat a child has been sentenced to probation. News outlets quote court records as saying 36-year-old Justin Teeter Bensing pleaded guilty to two counts of criminal solicitation of a minor and was sentenced Aug. 9 to 10 years in prison, but the sentence was suspended to five years of probation. A sentencing sheet The Greenville News obtained from the Greenville County Clerk of Court's Office says Bensing was diagnosed with autism and considered low risk. The judge said no prior criminal charges were also among the factors determining Bensing's sentence. Bensing had been accused of soliciting an undercover officer he thought was a girl. Bensing's attorney James Brehm said Saturday that the cannibalism comments were Bensing joking with someone else and unrelated to the investigation.

Racist South African Political Leader Julius Malema: “Go After the White Man… We Are Cutting the Throat of Whiteness”

Jim Hoft by Jim Hoft March 6, 2018

In 2011 South Africa youth leader Julius Malema told his supporters that the white farmer’s land must be shared by all black Africans. He was arrested for playing “Kill the Boer (white man)” song at his rallies. Julius Malema later founded the Economic Freedom Fighters, a South African political party. Malema recently called for new law to confiscate land from white farmers. The South African Parliament voted to confiscate land from white farmers without payment last week. On Sunday night Julius Malema called on his followers to go after the white man and cut the throat of whiteness. Julius Malema: Go after a white man… We are cutting the throat of whiteness.”

Final Warning: White South Africans Must Flee Their Country Immediately!

What follows gun confiscation. The White farmers from South Africa are about ready to find out as the prevailing radical regime running the South African government just ordered the seizing of 300,000 guns. All White South African farmers must leave the country ASAP South African Government Preparing to do the Unthinkable Because of a high court ruling in South Africa, over 400,000-gun owners now possess illegal firearms. These gun owners are now under government order to turn their guns in. Many people around the world see this as one of the last steps to clear a path to direct totalitarian government in which genocide of White South African farmers to the ultimate goal. The South African government is known as one of the most corrupt in the world. Now it is preparing to be one of the most deadly. Not only is the government becoming more totalitarian on guns, but it is also seizing farmland from white farmers without compensation. The disarming of the populace be just one more step in controlling the people? Historical Precedent Says the ANC of South Africa Is Preparing to Carry Out Genocide Against White Farmers War isn’t this century’s biggest killer. The University of Hawaii maintains a site and a course on democide, which is defined as death by government. More specifically, it is genocide by government. What the University of Hawaii has determined that for each instance of gun confiscation in the 20th century, there was a resulting genocide. Additionally, RJ Rummel (Univ of Hawaii) has identified other factors as well that serve as a prelude to genocide. In South Africa, there two important precursors to genocide, namely, mariginalization of the rights of white South Africans and the confiscation of the farms owned by these white farmers. The ANC is denying that they have seized the farmland of white farmers. However, South African refugee, Pastor Abri Bracken, who now resides in New Zealand, recently skyped me with the message, the South African government has begun to seize farmland. Recently, 15,000 White South African farmers were granted asylum by Putin, but it is not enough to ward off what is coming. The world is about to witness the latest in a long line of genocides from an authoritarian regime. White South Africans hear me clearly, you must leave our country now before your corrupt government closes the borders. This Could Never Happen In America, Could It? Former Green Beret and present radio broadcaster has related the story of what happened, in Seattle, when Moore’s daughter went to buy a puppy. She responded to an ad and the address was in a very nice neighborhood and the house was impressive. In causal conversation, Moore’s daughter asked the person selling the puppy, what she did for a living and she responded “I am a UN Peacekeeper”. It would appear that embedded Chinese soldiers within the US are not the only threat to national security that we need to worry about. This story is telling because it speaks to an overall effort to embed enforcement authorities who will eventually come for American guns. Obama set the tone for American gun confiscation. Recent Psychiatric Guidelines to Judge Mental Illness The Obama administration, before it left office, developed a new partner in crime and it was the American Psychiatric Association (APA). The APA created the new Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (5th Edition) which was recently adopted. DSM 5 is highly controversial and has sparked outrage from the mental health practitioners. As many of these practitioners point out, the new DSM-V makes a pathology out simple and normal behaviors such as the grieving for the loss of a loved one. Particularly disturbing is that the new manual targets internet users and conspiracy theorists. If someone is judged, by some vague set of criteria, to spend too much time on the Internet, they could be judged to be mentally ill and ineligible to own a gun. How are you receiving this information? The chances are that you are, at least according to Obama and Biden, giving in to your Internet addiction and reading this article. Under the draconsian Obama guidelines this would be grounds for gun confiscation. The alternative media is predicated on Internet readership and listenership. These would be among the first groups to oppose a martial law crackdown. Subsequently, this is just another back-door method to disarm citizens who would oppose the abject tyranny being imposed upon America. And these facts sum up what was truly behind the Obama administration’s latest attack upon gun ownership because they want to prey upon a defenseless nation by disarming as many of us as possible before the purges can begin in earnest. Although President Trump is not complicit in Obama’s actions against the Second Amendment, Trump has done nothing to undo the damage done by Obama since taking office. Obama had introduced the new political schizophrenia, that was popularized by the the former Soviet Union as a means to suppress dissent. We will see confinements among the alternative media and the veterans for things like ADHD, grieving, normal anxiety, bad eating habits, etc. All of these behaviors and more have been categorized as pathologies under the Obama administration and a supportive American Psychiatric Association. President Trump where are you? Conclusion The Obama people took this country down a very slippery slope and Trump has done nothing to counter this police state mentality, which is the Obama legacy. They are seeking to disarm as many Americans as possible. The historical precedent, and subsequent danger, has been well-established. Therefore, I will not belabor a well-established point, that all 19 genocides in the 20th century were preceded by gun confiscation. Why should we consider Obama’s actions, and Trump’s inaction in this matter, to be any less threatening?

South Africa's president declares it is time to 'correct a past wrong' by grabbing land from white farmers as £10m hunting lodge is targeted for seizure by the state

President Cyril Ramaphosa wants to take land from white farmers to redistribute

Johan Steenkamp and Arnold Cloete own the Akkerland Boerdery hunting range

They have only been offered £1million for their farm, a tenth of the price

Mr Steenkamp said he was 'given seven days to hand over the keys to his farm'

He has now obtained an injunction to prevent the seizure and will go to court

By Bridie Pearson-jones For Mailonline Published: 18:28 EDT, 20 August 2018 | Updated: 05:21 EDT, 23 August 2018

South Africa's president has declared it is time to 'correct a past wrong' by seizing land from white farmers - and a £10million family ranch is among his first targets. President Cyril Ramaphosa wants to take lands from white farmers without compensation and redistribute them to black farmers to make up for the injustice of apartheid. He said at a farmers' conference on Monday that land reform was necessary to 'correct a past wrong.' 'It has required that we confront the injustices of the past, acknowledge our weaknesses and shortcomings, and seek a sustainable path towards a just and inclusive future,' Ramaphosa said. 'This is the time for South Africans to find each other, not fight each other.' Since the 1994 end of apartheid - a system of racial segregation - the South African ruling party has followed a 'willing-seller, willing-buyer' model under which the government buys white-owned farms for redistribution to black farmers. But progress has been slow and it appears Ramaphosa wants to more vigorously force the pace of change. His government has begun the process of seizing farms where negotiations over compensation have failed. Johan Steenkamp and Arnold Cloete, co-owners of the Akkerland Boerdery hunting farm in Limpopo province, said they were ordered to hand over their land after talks to buy it at a tenth of the price broke down. Steenkamp and Cloete asked for 200million rand (£10.7million) for their reserve but were only offered 20million rand (£1.07million). A letter they received earlier in the year said: 'Notice is hereby given that a terrain inspection will be held on the farms on April 5, 2018 at 10am in order to conduct an audit of the assets and a handover of the farm's keys to the state.' The farmers have obtained an injunction, which was opposed by the government, to prevent eviction until a court rules on the case. Mr Steenkamp told Newsweek that the decision to take his land was made on 'very short notice' during a public holiday. He said he was given notice to hand the keys over to his farm within seven days. Annelie Crosby, spokeswoman for the agricultural industry association AgriSA, told the Johannesburg based CityPress: 'What makes the Akkerland case unique is that they apparently were not given the opportunity to first dispute the claim in court, as the law requires.' Government spokesman ZiZi Kodwa said: 'Over time I think the markets as well as investors will appreciate that what we are doing is creating policy certainty and creating the conditions for future investment'. South Africa's state-owned Land Bank has warned that the government could end up with a bill of $2.8billion if the land seizure policy leaves it so short of money that it can't pay its debts. Land Bank Chairman Arthur Moloto said in the company's 2018 annual report that the bank has approximately 9 billion rand of debt, which includes a standard market clause on 'expropriation' as an event of default. Moloto said if expropriation without compensation were to materialise without protection of the bank's rights as a creditor, it would be required to repay 9 billion rand immediately. 'A cross default clause would be triggered should we fail to pay when these debts fall due because of inadequate liquidity or lack of alternative sources of funding,' Moloto said. 'This would make our entire 41 billion rand funding portfolio due and payable immediately, which we would not be able to settle. Consequently, government intervention would be required to settle our lenders.' Moloto said the bank was generally funded by the local debt and capital markets, and more recently international multilateral institutions such as the African Development Bank and World Bank. 'A poorly executed expropriation without compensation could result in the main sources of funding drying up as investors might not be willing to continue funding Land Bank in particular, or agriculture in general,' he said. Some investors are concerned that the ANC's reforms will result in white farmers being stripped of land to the detriment of the economy, as happened in Zimbabwe, although President Ramaphosa has repeatedly said any changes will not compromise food security or economic growth. Since Cyril Ramaphosa took power, tensions in white farming communities have been rising as he has committed to a programme of land expropriation. African National Congress chairman Gwede Mantashe last week said: 'You shouldn't own more than 25,000 acres of land. 'Therefore if you own more it should be taken without compensation.' A record number of white farmers have put their land up for sale as the government has been accused of earmarking almost 200 farms for seizure. But the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform denied the claim, saying there was 'no truth to this document', News 24 reported. The South African constitution contains a section which allows the government to seize land from farmers, but says that fair compensation must be paid. However, the ANC, the ruling party, is believed to be trying out 'test cases' to see whether the land can be taken without compensation if it is deemed to be 'in the public interest.' If such cases fail, it has threatened to amend the constitution to remove the compensation clause. A program of land seizures in nearby Zimbabwe in the 1990s sent the country into an economic spiral from which it has never fully recovered. Farm union bosses say a record number of farmers are trying to sell their land before the seizures begin but that nobody is buying, making the land effectively worthless. The ANC has sought to assuage those fears by saying that land reform will follow a parliamentary process. 'You shouldn't own more than 12,000 hectares of land and therefore if you own more, it should be taken without compensation,' ANC Chairman Gwede Mantashe, who is also the country's mines minister, told News24 in an interview published on Wednesday. Linda Page, spokesperson for the department of land reform, said it is legal for ministers to intervene the law makes provision for the minister to intervene to purchase if it's for the purpose of land reform. Since 2007, a total of 23 cases have been finalised, seven in Limpopo, one in KwaZulu-Natal, 14 in Mpumalanga and one in the Northern Cape.

Memo reveals Soros-funded social-media censorship plan

Plotted with Google, Facebook to eliminate 'right wing propaganda'

Published: 5 days ago

The recent wave of censorship of conservative voices on the internet by tech giants Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Apple mirrors a plan concocted by a coalition of George Soros-funded, progressive groups to take back power in Washington from President Trump’s administration. A confidential, 49-page memo for defeating Trump by working with the major social-media platforms to eliminate “right wing propaganda and fake news” was presented in January 2017 by Media Matters founder David Brock at a retreat in Florida with about 100 donors, the Washington Free Beacon reported at the time. On Monday, the Gateway Pundit blog noted the memo’s relationship with recent moves by Silicon Valley tech giants to “shadow ban” conservative political candidates and pundits and remove content. The Free Beacon obtained a copy of the memo, “Democracy Matters: Strategic Plan for Action,” by attending the retreat. The memo spells out a four-year agenda that deployed Media Matters along with American Bridge, Shareblue and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) to attack Trump and Republicans. The strategies are impeachment, expanding Media Matters’ mission to combat “government misinformation,” ensuring Democratic control of the Senate in the 2018 midterm elections, filing lawsuits against the Trump administration, monetizing political advocacy, using a “digital attacker” to delegitimize Trump’s presidency and damage Republicans, and partnering with Facebook to combat “fake news.” The document claims Media Matters and far-left groups have “access to raw data from Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites” so they can “systemically monitor and analyze this unfiltered data.” “The earlier we can identify a fake news story, the more effectively we can quash it,” the memo states. “With this new technology at our fingertips, researchers monitoring news in real time will be able to identify the origins of a lie with mathematical precision, creating an early warning system for fake news and disinformation.” Media Matters met with Facebook, which boasts some 2 billion members worldwide, to discuss how to crack down on fake news, according to the memo. The social media giant was provided with “a detailed map of the constellation of right-wing Facebook pages that had been the biggest purveyors of fake news.” Brock’s memo also says Media Matters gave Google “the information necessary to identify 40 of the worst fake new sites” so they could be banned from Google’s advertising network. The Gateway Pundit pointed out that in 2016, Google carried out that plan on the Gateway Pundit blog and other conservative sites, including Breitbart, the Drudge Report, Infowars, Zero Hedge and Conservative Treehouse. Facebook, meanwhile has changed its newsfeed algorithm, ostensibly to combat “fake news,” causing a precipitous decline in traffic for many conservative sites. President Donald Trump himself was affected, with his engagement on Facebook dropping by 45 percent. A study in June by Gateway Pundit found Facebook had eliminated 93 percent of the traffic of top conservative news outlets. Western Journal, in its own study, found that while left-wing publishers saw a roughly 2 percent increase in web traffic from Facebook following the algorithm changes, conservative sites saw a loss of traffic averaging around 14 percent. President Trump’s 2020 campaign manager, Brad Parscale, charged last week the giants of Silicon Valley are stifling free speech, particularly conservative speech, manifesting the “inherent totalitarian impulse” of the left. On Friday, Facebook appeared to be “shadow banning” the non-profit education site PragerU, founded by talk-host Dennis Prager, causing a drop in engagement of 99.9999 percent while removing two videos regarded as “hate speech.” After Facebook rejected a highly inspirational ad for a Republican congressional candidate that included images depicting her parents’ persecution under the Khmer Rouge communist regime in Cambodia, Twitter followed up with its own ban. WND reported earlier this month Facebook banned a pro-life video ad by a judicial candidate, giving the same explanation. On Aug. 6, WND reported, Facebook, YouTube and Apple banned commentator Alex Jones and his Infowars website within hours of each other. Last month, WND reported moderate Muslims and counter-terrorist activists were increasingly being restricted by Silicon Valley, while terrorist content remains on social-media platforms, according to researchers. Trump campaign chief Parscale said last week the banning of Jones “will inevitably lead to the silencing of those with far less controversial opinions.” “What we are seeing in Big Tech is the inherent totalitarian impulse of the Left come into full focus,” Parscale said.

Sara Carter DESTROYS Trump-Basher Joe Scarborough: “You Are Just Propagating Lies and So Out of Control”

Cristina Laila by Cristina Laila August 20, 2018

On Sunday, Joe Scarborough once again revealed he is suffering from a major case of Trump Derangement Syndrome and said President Trump is “unwell and has been getting progressively worse over the past 18 months,” — Of course without providing any proof whatsoever. The left and their mouthpieces in the media are running out of steam with the ‘Trump-Russia’ collusion hoax, so they have reverted back to arguing Trump is unwell and unfit to serve. The Morning Joe host tweeted: Anyone who has known Trump for years, and doesn’t have a stake in his political career or the GOP, says the same. He is unwell and has been getting progressively worse over the past 18 months. Anyone who has known Trump for years, and doesn’t have a stake in his political career or the GOP, says the same. He is unwell and has been getting progressively worse over the past 18 months. https://t.co/k1l3zAgwco  — Joe Scarborough (@JoeNBC) August 19, 2018 Investigative reporter Sara Carter destroyed Joe Scarborough on Monday. Sara Carter tweeted: What facts do you have? It appears that you are just propagating lies and so out of control. @realDonaldTrump is not unwell – what is unwell is the vast division the media rumor mill has become – you ignore the facts and chose a narrative that is based on hate.

Carter (@SaraCarterDC) August 20, 2018 Conservative media were relentlessly attacked by the Democrats and fake News CNN, MSNBC, ABC and others for pointing out Hillary’s obvious ill health. The Gateway Pundit, Breitbart News and other independent conservative journalists were called conspiracy theorists for reporting on Hillary’s health problems after she fainted on the campaign trail and got chucked into her Scooby mobile like a side of beef. Hillary Clinton suffered from a chronic cough and even claimed she had pneumonia on the campaign trail after she fainted and the media defended her. Crooked Hillary has fallen down many flights of stairs, broken her toe, broken her wrist and was even spotted with a huge back bulge (which she tried to hide with a heavy coat) yet crickets from the media. But Trump is unwell….without any proof to back up the claims. This is why Joe Scarborough and his fellow media sycophants are called fake news.

New Study: Robots Can BRAINWASH Children Into ‘Mindless Conformity’

Mac Slavo August 20th, 2018 SHTFplan.com

Comments (43) Read by 2,877 people

A new study has shown that robots can brainwash children, essentially programming their minds into “mindless conformity.” Children can be significantly influenced by machines, even when the robots were obviously wrong. Writing in Science Robotics, the University of Plymouth researchers behind the study said the findings raise concerns about the potential for robots to have a negative influence on vulnerable children. Children were shown to trust the answer a robot provides over their own assessment, even though it was easily wrong, making “robot pressure,” the new peer pressure, reported RT. “People often follow the opinions of others and we’ve known for a long time that it is hard to resist taking over views and opinions of people around us. We know this as conformity. But as robots will soon be found in the home and the workplace, we were wondering if people would conform to robots.”What our results show is that adults do not conform to what the robots are saying. But when we did the experiment with children, they did. It shows children can perhaps have more of an affinity with robots than adults, which does pose the question: what if robots were to suggest, for example, what products to buy or what to think?” – Professor in Robotics Tony Belpaeme, one of the scientists behind the study. Professor Noel Sharkey, who heads the Foundation for Responsible Robotics, responded to the research on Twitter. “If robots can convince children that false information is true, the implication for the planned commercial exploitation of robots for childminding and teaching is problematic,” he wrote. Noel Sharkey @NoelSharkey ROBOTS PERSUADE CHILDREN against the facts “If robots can convince children that false information is true, the implication for the planned commercial exploitation of robots for childminding and teaching is problematic." @janewakefield @RespRobotics @aimeevanrobot 6:28 PM - Aug 15, 2018 40 22 people are talking about this  Of course, it was pointed out that teachers can do this as well, as children are taught to respect authority first over coming to the correct factual answer. Children in public schools are already taught that if they conform and do what’s asked of them regardless of the morality behind the task, they will succeed. Noel Sharkey @NoelSharkey · Aug 15, 2018 ROBOTS PERSUADE CHILDREN against the facts “If robots can convince children that false information is true, the implication for the planned commercial exploitation of robots for childminding and teaching is problematic." @janewakefield @RespRobotics @aimeevanrobot Marien v.d.Meer @MeerMvander Human teachers can do that too. Maybe even better. Shouldn't we use the same solutions; communication and info from more sources to check and counter that? 2:31 AM - Aug 16, 2018 See Marien v.d.Meer's other Tweets  Because of this new study, the researchers cautioned that a discussion needs to take place around what protections need to be put in place to minimize the danger to children as robots become more widespread. To the rest of us, this is what it looks like when everyone (from the government to the corporate media to the food and medical industry) attempts to manipulate your opinion for their gain.

Killer robots poised for 'MASS PRODUCTION' as campaigners urge AI to be made ILLEGAL

AUTONOMOUS killer robots are poised to "proliferate around the world" leading campaigners to call for them to be made illegal.

By David Rivers / Published 21st August 2018

Campaigners are desperate to stop the production of AI-powered guns, planes, ships and tanks without human control. A group of 26 countries have teamed up to call for a ban on fully autonomous weapons, joining thousands of scientists and AI experts. A fresh report from Campaign to Ban Killer Robots says fully autonomous weapons would violate Martens Clause, reports The Guardian, an international humanitarian law. Bonnie Docherty, senior arms researcher at Human Rights Watch, said: "Permitting the development and use of killer robots would undermine established moral and legal standards. "Countries should work together to preemptively ban these weapons systems before they proliferate around the world. "The groundswell of opposition among scientists, faith leaders, tech companies, nongovernmental groups, and ordinary citizens shows that the public understands that killer robots cross a moral threshold. "Their concerns, shared by many governments, deserve an immediate response." Crunch talks have been penned in for August 27 where 70 Governments will discuss the issue. It comes after Daily Star Online revealed that conscious killer robots are poised to "bide their time" to "enslave" the human race, an expert claims. Subhash Kak – a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Oklahoma University – told us: "If indeed machines become self-aware, they will be cunning and they will bide their time and choose the best moment to take over and enslave, if not kill, us." Kak added: "If you believe that machines will become 'conscious' like us, then the possibility that such machines will kill off humans cannot be ruled out. "I personally don't believe that machines will become conscious and self-aware like we are and so we need not worry. "But most computer scientists and physicists don't agree with my position. "They think there is nothing to consciousness but computation. "They are wrong but they are influential in the academy and in policy making." It comes days after the Bank of England's chief economist warned AI has to potential to wipe out thousands of British jobs.

The Chinese Have Infiltrated American Universities and Trump and Ted Cruz Are Moving to Counter

In yesterday’s installment related to the presence of the Communist Chinese in many of our universities, especially at Western Kentucky University, I shared the story of an interview I conducted with a former WKU professor, in 2012, who stated that the Communist Chinese were present on her campus and were working against the interests of the American people. In the previous article, I further disclosed why I and my associate discounted the original story by this professor. Now, six years later, it would appear their account was accurate based upon new and available information. Fortunately, after an extensive search, I found my notes on the exchange I had with a former professor of journalism at WKU and myself back in 2012. In this article, I am going to share the details of tis professor’s revelations. Their story is, in part, validated by two unlikely sources, President Trump and Senator Ted Cruz. At the time of my telephonic interview with this professor who demanded that their identity not be revealed, I learned that WKU, at that time, was offering certificates of study related to learning about the Department of Homeland Security. There were federal funds attached to this program. Please keep in mind that this was during the Obama administration and that dramatically colors this event. When I spoke with this professor, it was the first time that I had ever heard of the upcoming GridEX drills in which DHS/FEMA were conducting a series of drills to simulate a take-down of the grid either by a cyber attack or by an EMP. These courses, according to the professor, promised to disrupt our power grid. It turns out that this professor was correct. In late 2013, I authored an article in which I expressed outrage that Obama was allowing the Chinese and the Russians to participate in the GridEx drills. The professor told us that the closer one looked at these so-called DHS college courses, they truly did not exist and were not open to anyone but about two dozen Chinese foreign students at WKU, who according to this professors, all lived in the same house, off-campus, with a visiting Chinese professor. The WKU professor told me that there were no courses listed, no instructors of record and phone calls of inquiry are met with denials on anything that WKU had published. Yet, the program was advertised, presumably as a cover to the fact that a significant number of mainland Chinese students were taking a course in DHS protocols. Now that I look back at this revelation, this was “the how to” of taking down our grid. The following year, and for subsequent years after that, the Chinese were invited by Obama to participate in these GridEx drills. I now know why. Obama, being the traitor that he was, was allowing these Chinese to completely learn how to disable our grid prior to an invasion. This would have the same effect as a preemptive first strike that seeks to take out command and control. Now that I look back at these revelations with a fresh perspective, I can clearly see that there can be no other conclusion that these courses and fake Chinese professors were no more than a false shell operation on WKU’s campus which funneled taxpayer funds to teach these Chinese Communists how to disable the American grid. As an aside this specific professor at Western Kentucky University questioned the validity of this program and then she found herself the target of electronic harassment, in which the Bowling Green, KT. police actually found merit to the complaints and was afforded extra protection, according to the professor. It is clear that these bogus programs serve the purpose of the shell corporation designed to compromise the security of our power grid. The interview with this professor was arranged through my former news director, Annie DeRiso. She had discovered these events through one of her contacts who facilitated the telephonic interview of which Annie was a part of. After the interview, Annie and I felt there was a lot of smoke to the interview, but the mannerisms of the professors served to detract from the believability of her claims. Now that I look back at the professor’s bizarre behavior during the interview, she was probably suffering from PTSD as a result of the attacks upon her. At the time, it appeared that she was unbalanced. At the end of the day, we decided not to run the story because we could find no collaborating information. That was then and now new facts have surfaced which are somewhat related to this professor’s story etc subsequent claims. Communist Chinese Infiltration Into American Universities The Free Beacon is reporting that the CIA previously authored a report detailing how the Communist Part of China has used funding for the various Confucius Institutes around the country to influence research in American post-secondary institutions on behalf of Communist China. This was sent to me, following my previous article on Communist Chinese infiltration into American politics and the appearance of embedded Chinese troops on American soil. The CCP provides ‘strings-attached’ funding to academic institutions and think tanks to deter research that casts it in a negative light,” the report says. “It has used this tactic to reward pro-China viewpoints and coerce Western academic publications and conferences to self-censor. The CCP often denies visas to academics who criticize the regime, encouraging many China scholars to preemptively self-censor so they can maintain access to the country on which their research depends.” The CIA warning joins a growing call by U.S. lawmakers and intelligence officials to investigate China’s involvement on American college campuses. The FBI previously weighed in on this topic as well: FBI Director Christopher Wray told the Senate Intelligence Committee… the bureau is investigating dozens of Confucius Institutes, the Chinese-backed language and cultural centers hosted by more than 100 universities across the country. Despite their broad entrenchment in American academics over the past decade, little is known about the nature of the contracts between Beijing and the host universities… funding amounts and contractual terms are largely kept secret. My sincere apology goes out to this former WKU professor, ho I cannot locate at this time, as the previously expressed concerns seem to be validated by both President Trump and by Senator Ted Cruz. The good news is that President Donald Trump intends to approve an amendment in the National Defense Authorization Act which would deny federal funds for campuses hosting a Confucius Institute which is the name of the Chinese organization which has invaded many American college campuses. The author of the amendment is Texas Senator Ted Cruz which eliminates funding for this communist organization. Further, the amendment requires full public disclosure 0f any contact this Communist Chinese organization (ie Confucius Institute) has with any American based university. The Cruz amendment also restricts funding to universities that host Confucius Institutes. Cruz notes that this rogue institution, which is invading a number of American universities has deep ties to the Communist Chinese Party. Conclusion The first and most obvious conclusion is that I am no longer granting any consideration and attention to contrary claims that the Chinese have not infiltrated several of our institutions and pose a serious domestic threat to the citizens of the United States. In addition to the information shared in this article, I have been sent even more validation and more examples of Chinese infiltration on American soil. The issue is decided. The WKU professor told me quite clearly that the spying and infiltration of these Chinese “students” into the mechanics of our grid, had its roots in MK-Ultra. This article validates the position that the Chinese military planners are slow and methodical in their planning. Their infiltration into the workings of our grid may very well be only the beginning. How many other critical targets did the Obama administration expose to Chinese attack during his 8 year presidency? This is so typical of the betrayal that came to characterize the Obama administration. Previously, in 2010, I reported on the giveaway, to Russia, seven oil rich islands to Russia. Obama suspended the F-22 overflights which protected the Alaskan coast. He also suspended most of the submarine patrols as well. Obama was and is a traitor of the highest order. Should we be surprised this Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, sold uranium to the Russians through Uranium One? These revelations have far-reaching implications. I now am developing a different perspective on the trade war with China. In light of what Trump and Cruz clearly know, the trade war may be directed at limiting China’s capacity to wage war through compromising many American soft and hard targets to Chinese incursion.

Army of FBI Whistleblowers is Preparing to Testify Against Mueller Group is ready to blow the whistle about his allegedly illegal activities

By: Jay Greenberg |@NeonNettle on 20th August 2018 @ 5.23pm

Special Counsel Mueller’s record as FBI director is about to be shattered as a coalition of whistleblowers, who previously served under him, is willing to testify about his criminal activity. House Judiciary Committee chairman Rep. Goodlatte is currently preparing to interrogate Department of Justice official Bruce Ohr, husband of Fusion GPS operative Nellie Ohr. Meanwhile, Rep. Jim Jordan of the House Oversight Committee is digging into the complex “Operation Crossfire Hurricane” plot that targeted President Donald Trump. Members of Congress are growing increasingly more aware of the massive holes Mueller’s case as his own alleged lawbreaking becomes more apparent. According to Big League Politics, these whistleblowers are prepared to testify under oath that Mueller committed perjury and other crimes in his effort to conceal massive off-the-books citizen surveillance programs rolled out in succession by the Bush and Obama administrations. A former FBI special agent accuses Mueller of lying to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence regarding the scope of his surveillance programs. Another NSA and CIA whistleblower accuses Mueller of overseeing a secretive program that surveilled President Donald Trump while Trump was a private citizen — an accusation that is already being heard in court. Another whistleblower claims that former FBI agents would testify with documentation that Mueller stifled their investigations into certain terrorist networks. These accusations could form the basis of a congressional investigation or could be used by insiders close to the president as leverage in the Russia collusion case dominating Washington discourse. Former Mueller employee Chuck Marler told Big League Politics in an exclusive statement that Mueller lied to the Senate, informing the Intelligence Committee that his surveillance programs were smaller and less wide-ranging than they really were. Mueller’s lies blocked Senate oversight of his work and allowed him to expand surveillance programs that concerned officials in his own Bureau. FBI agents who complained were punished and threatened with arrest. “I used to work for the Special Surveillance Group (SSG) at the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Robert Mueller was my Director. "I have been wrestling with his disregard for my safety and his dishonesty with my and other coworkers’ concerns. "That is why in 2008 I decided to quit the Bureau early and start my own business and get away from the corruption of certain members of the FBI management. "I saw firsthand how dishonest some of them could be. Since Mueller has taken over as Special Counsel, I’ve been concerned about him continuing that behavior which leads me to the following. "Mueller and certain members of FBI Management deceived the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence in 2005 and they intimidated and bullied the U.S. Office of Personnel Management from 2005 through 2008. "Mueller and individuals in FBI Management were continually notified by members of the SSG that their surveillance activities were growing way beyond the scope of their operational plan before Congress and that their safety was at stake. "After 9/11, the program had expanded at a rapid pace. "The members of the SSG were happy to take on the vastly growing surveillance throughout the country but they wanted better protection, better compensation and more clear duties defined through Congress. "Mueller and FBI Management continually ignored their cries for help. "In the Summer of 2005, two FBI employees in the SSG Program wrote a letter and mailed it to every member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI). "The two FBI employees were notified by Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison’s office of receipt of the letter. "Those same two FBI employees and two additional employees wrote another letter and mailed it to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM). "That opening letter to the OPM was very generic because their work is considered Secret due to their undercover status conducting Counter Terrorism and Counter Intelligence work. "The OPM letter only listed their names, job title, office and generic nature of their complaint. "The letter to the SSCI was more informative due to SSCI’s level of classification regarding U.S. Intelligence. "The two employees involved in the SSCI letter were informed by staff at Senator Hutchison’s Office of Mueller’s response to the letter. "OPM opened a routine complaint/inquiry based on the letter that they received from the four FBI employees. "The OPM officer that had the misfortune to be assigned the job, sent an initiation letter to FBI Headquarters to gain security clearance to begin her assessment. "OPM opened a routine complaint/inquiry based on the letter that they received from the four FBI employees. "The OPM officer that had the misfortune to be assigned the job, sent an initiation letter to FBI Headquarters to gain security clearance to begin her assessment. "She was immediately threatened with arrest by FBI agents. "Subsequently and because of the letter, the four FBI employees were threatened with arrest, imprisonment, raids of their residences and loss of their job. "Although better security and more defined operational duties eventually were hammered out, it was no thanks to Mueller. "The four employees and their squad supervisor were overtly and covertly punished, then and to this day. "The information I have relayed to you is important but in the current climate of intimidation of whistleblowers and continued dishonest activity of some in the FBI, I have been reluctant to relay in this much detail. "The reason (beyond disgust with Mueller and Comey) that I inform you now is because I know you have contacts with Judicial Watch. "Judicial Watch may benefit from a FOIA request regarding communications Mueller and FBI Management had with Senator Hutchinson’s Office and the OPM from 2005 thru 2008. "I know the OPM Officer, the FBI employees and their supervisor because obviously, I was one of the four employees. "I do not suspect the gathering of evidence to Mueller’s dishonesty regarding this matter will be easy to obtain because of the cloud of secrecy it entails but I pray Mueller will answer for his actions.” CIA and NSA whistleblower Dennis Montgomery, a computer specialist, claims that he worked on a massive nationwide phone-surveillance spying program during the Bush administration under the direction of John Brennan and James Clapper, who both became Obama administration officials. Montgomery says that Mueller, as director of the FBI under Bush, oversaw the phone-spying program. “This is very, very, very powerful technology, and it was created under Robert Mueller’s watch. The last person I would think that should be investigating Donald Trump is Robert Mueller, who was collecting information on Donald Trump ten years agoMueller has a huge conflict of interest, a huge conflict of interest,” Montgomery said in an interview. “I provided to the FBI seventeen businesses of Donald Trump, including the Trump Tower, the Trump leasing programs, all of these different programs, and including Trump himself and the various family members that had been wiretapped under these programs,” said Montgomery. “There has been a wiretap on Trump for years.” “I started by going to Maricopa County and showing that Sheriff Arpaio himself was wiretapped under the Obama administration,” said Montgomery. “There has been a wiretap on Trump for years.” “I started by going to Maricopa County and showing that Sheriff Arpaio himself was wiretapped under the Obama administration,” said Montgomery. “I was a CIA contractor both under John Brennan and under James Clapper and these individuals were running domestic surveillance programs in the United States collecting information on Americans. This isn’t political. They were collecting information on Republicans and Democrats. But they collected everything they could find. Bank accounts, phone numbers, chats, emails, and they collected a massive amount of it under the Obama administration,” Montgomery added. Montgomery, the whistleblower, has sued James Comey for allegedly covering up information on the program, which Montgomery said was being operated on FBI computers. As Big League Politics reported: real estate mogul Timothy Blixseth claims that he saw records from Montgomery proving that Obama CIA director John Brennan oversaw repeated spying on the phone calls of President Donald Trump and millions of other private American citizens. Former FBI contractor Sibel Edmonds, another whistleblower, told Infowars that Mueller put the muzzle on FBI agents’ investigations into certain terrorist networks. “Imagine my shock when I saw that Robert Mueller was appointed as the special counsel in this case, the same Robert Mueller, who in my case, put gag orders together with attorney general Ashcroft,” Edmonds told Alex Jones. “There were FBI agents, not only in the Washington field office, but also in the Chicago and Patterson field offices, who were blowing the whistle on Mueller internally, saying he’s squashing our investigations [into terror networks],” Edmonds said. “I know of several veteran, highly decorated FBI agents, if subpoenaed, would testify that how Robert Mueller, due to what he was doing as the director of the FBI, can not preside as the special counsel in this case,” Edmonds said. “It’s a slam dunk case, it’s documented.”

CNN: Antifa Violence Against Trump Supporters is 'Right' Chris Cuomo justifies violence against 'bigots' who support their president 

By: Jay Greenberg |@NeonNettle on 19th August 2018 @ 9.00pm

CNN's Chris Cuomo announced that the news network will not condemn violence against President Trump's supporters, but rather justified physical attacks. According to Cuomo, violent attacks by Antifa and Black Bloc are "right" because those who back their president are "bigots." CNN legitimized political violence, with Cuomo saying, “All punches are not equal morally… "Drawing a moral equivalency between those espousing hate and those fighting it, because they both resort to violence emboldens hate, legitimized hateful belief and elevates what should be stamped out.” Breitbart reports: This is a dramatic turning point for the far left. Not only is CNN offering moral cover for those who engage in political violence, but — thanks to the ever-widening definition of “hate” — CNN is also calling for the left’s political opponents to be “stamped out.” Have your say - ⇓ Hit the comments below ⇓ This, of course, is anathema to the very heart of Martin Luther King’s civil rights movement, which was never about “stamping out” anything. Rather, it was about using peaceful protest and civil disobedience to change hearts and minds. "Two wrongs and what is right. The bigots are wrong to hit. Antifa or whomever — anarchists or malcontents or the misguided — they are also wrong to hit. But fighting hate is right. And in a clash between hate and those who oppose it, those who oppose it are on the side of right." After using the language of “stamped out,” CNN also crusades for “fighting hate,” but not within the context of King — where unassailable decency is used to change public opinion, to pursue a moral awakening. CNN is talking about physical “fighting.Cuomo and CNN go even further: "Think about it: civil rights activists, were they the same morally as the bigots and the racists with whom they exchanged blows? Are people who go to war against an evil regime on the same moral ground as those they seek to stop from oppressing the weak? When you punch me in the nose for being Italian and say I’m somehow less than, am I in the same moral place when I punch you back for saying that. "It’s not about being right in the eyes of the law, but you also have to know what’s right and wrong in a moral, in a good and evil sense. "That’s why people who show up to fight against bigots are not to be judged the same as the bigots, even if they do resort to the same kinds of petty violence." And CNN is not just talking about self-defense which, of course, is always justified. There are two key points that need to be made. The first is this… What happened over the weekend at this Unite the Right 2 rally was pretty simple and a disaster for the Antifa’s media allies… Only a handful of Nazis showed up. Antifa arrived in droves. This pathetic group of white supremacists committed no acts of violence that we know of. Antifa rioted. In other words, even though the Nazis decided not to come out of their mother’s basement, rather than declare victory, Antifa still rioted, still turned its hate and violence against those who did show up. You see, even though Antifa has proven over and over that it is a terrorist organization, the media have portrayed this group as a virtuous but misguided organization that fights Nazis. Now, to anyone paying attention, this has always been a lie. Time and again and again we have seen Antifa use their Brownshirt tactics against everyday Trump supporters. But because the media want Antifa out there terrorizing Trump supporters, the narrative is Antifa vs. Nazis. Unfortunately for the media, this weekend’s violence, which was wholly caused by Antifa, exposed that media narrative as a lie, and this, in turn, forced CNN to come out and finally admit to what we have known for years — that the far-left cable outlet is an advocate for utilizing political violence to reach its partisan goals, including violence against police officers, black-owned businesses, President Trump, and his supporters. The second important point here is that CNN is now openly encouraging and excusing violence against “bigotry” and “hate” only after CNN has spent years defining “bigotry” and “hate” as anyone who supports Trump. What CNN did Monday night by justifying political violence, by in any way excusing it, is a major turning point within an increasingly frustrated and radicalized establishment media. One of the great cornerstones of classical liberalism is the idea is that, no matter how reprehensible your ideas, here in America you are allowed to argue those ideas, as long as you do so peacefully. And now this cornerstone, the moral and patriotic lessons of Skokie, have been stomped on by the fascist boots of CNN, Chris Cuomo, and their ilk as impotent rage leads them to pursue the un-American goals of blacklists and violence. Just be aware that, according to the “pro” journalists wringing their hands about mean tweets, political violence is now fair game… as are all of us who support Trump.

When Did The Democrats Turn Into The 'War Party'? The Disastrous History Of False Flags Being Used To Take America Into War

- Why Has The 'Anti-War Left' Been 'Missing In Action' Since 2008?

August 20, 2018 By William B Stoecker - All News Pipeline

There was a time when the left at least pretended to stand for peace and to oppose excessive militarism and unnecessary wars…but that time, apparently, is long past. Leftists today, motivated by a mindless hatred for President Trump and by identity politics, seem not to care that we still have troops in harm’s way in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria, or that we are aiding Saudi Arabia in a brutal war against Shiite rebels in Yemen, or that we still have contingents of troops (mostly spec ops) in African countries most of us cannot find on a map. It was not always so. America has a fine tradition of principled opposition to wars and to conscription. Lincoln’s Civil War was never popular; most Northerners would have rather let the South go its way. They may have opposed slavery or desired to preserve the Union, but not to the point of being willing to die for such causes. The most violent draft riots in US history took place in New York City during the Civil War. Europeans in 1914 marched off to war with boundless enthusiasm, but most Americans would have preferred to let the Europeans settle their own problems without our becoming involved. Most leftist Americans, as well as many Christian patriots, and such well-known figures as Henry Ford actively opposed our entry into the conflict. The America First Committee opposed our involvement in WWII, and at least one massive (but peaceful) anti-war demonstration was held at UC Berkeley. Prominent Americans like Charles Lindbergh were America Firsters, and future President Gerald Ford; JFK donated to their cause. But after FDR cleverly set us up at Pearl Harbor most people believed that we had been unjustly attacked, and the three men mentioned above all joined the military and fought in the war they had hoped to avoid. Korea was an undeclared war which Harry Truman slyly called a “police action” and could have been avoided had we adequately armed South Korea. Much of the domestic opposition was organized by the CPUSA (Communist Party USA); after all, we were fighting against their fellow communists. But by 1953, with our young men being drafted into a war resembling the stalemate of WWI, trenches and all, opposition was becoming very widespread. Perhaps we learned something from the Korean disaster, because opposition to our next undeclared foreign war was massive in scale. It began, mostly on college campuses, about the time (2/65) that we began regular bombing of North Vietnam. Soon the SDS (Students for a Democratic Society) began “teach-ins.” By 11/67 15,058 Americans had died in the conflict; the war was costing us some $25 billion annually; and 40,000 young American men were being drafted every month. On 10/21/67 100,000 protesters gathered around the Lincoln Memorial. The Communist Tet Offensive in 1/68 disillusioned still more Americans, which was why the Viet Cong carried it out…to influence domestic opinion. By 2/68 only about half of all Americans supported the war. The Pentagon Papers were published in 1971, leading to further disillusionment with our military leadership and our intelligence community. Much of the opposition came from communists and much was motivated by the draft, but let us remember that millions of loyal Americans also opposed the war. There is a reason why the Constitution we used to have required that Congress formerly declare war before we begin a long-term commitment overseas. We should never go to war without debating the move first, and only if a majority of the people’s representatives are in favor of it, and only if we are willing to do whatever is necessary to win the war. Yet, having learned nothing, we continue to allow our Presidents to involve us in wars we never debated or voted for, often with insane rules of engagement even worse than the ones that so hampered our troops in Vietnam. Since Vietnam we have sent troops into Lebanon under President Reagan, where we left our embassy and our Marine barracks unprotected from truck bombs, with disastrous consequences. For that, heads should have rolled, including the barracks commander, the Commandant of the Marine Corps, the Secretary of the Navy, the Secretary of Defense, and Reagan himself. But in the US government, no one is ever held accountable. We invaded Grenada and Panama, sent troops into Haiti, lost a Blackhawk helicopter in Somalia and then invited thousands of illiterate Somali criminals and terrorists to come and live in America. Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein was a ruthless tyrant, but he made Iraq an effective counterweight to Iran, but we used his invasion of Kuwait as a justification for attacking his forces in Operation Desert Shield (8/2/90-1/17/91). We weakened Iraq and turned Hussein against us, but left him in power until we invaded in the Iraq War of 2003-2011. We used the false flag of 9/11 as an excuse to launch, on 10/7/2001, Operation Enduring Freedom, the invasion of Afghanistan, an operation that has done nothing for our freedom, but has certainly endured…as our nation’s longest war. In Afghanistan we support a government of drug-dealing homosexual child rapists whose army, even with our training and support, is losing the war. On May Day 2011 we sent SEAL team Six to kill Osama bin Laden, alleged mastermind (ask Dick Cheney who was the real mastermind) of 9/11. And through all this, there has been scarcely a peep of protest from the left…or anyone else, for that matter. Leftists demonstrate, often violently, for imagined police brutality against those sacred cows, the Blacks. They demonstrate for a woman’s right to choose to butcher her unborn child and have taxpayers fund the operation. They riot in protest over our failure to bring the entire Third World into our country and pay for their health care and college indoctrination (education in America is a thing of the past). But we are not fighting communists like them, and there is no draft, so they are not concerned about the killing or the waste of money. And so, little noted and unopposed, the endless wars drag on, and on, and on.

First Bush’s doctor was killed while bicycling, now the Queen’s doctor too?

Coincidence or carefully planned hits? Both George H.W. Bush's doctor and the Queen's doctor killed while riding their bicycles.

By Shepard Ambellas - August 20, 2018

The killing death of George H.W. Bush’s Texas-based Dr. Mark Hausknecht on July 22 and the more recent death of Queen Elizabeth II’s doctor last Wednesday share several similarities which should be of interest to the general public. Not only were both of the victims doctors but they both happened to be riding their bicycles at the time of their deaths. In Houston, Dr. Mark Hausknecht, 65, was gunned down by another cyclist who was riding in the opposite direction in what can only be considered a hit. Moreover, the suspect Joseph James Pappas, 62, is still on the loose and is believed to have kept dossiers and studied detailed intelligence files on his alleged victim Hausknecht almost as if he is some sort of operative or secret agent. Coincidentally the Queen’s homeopathic doctor Peter Fisher was also killed while riding his bicycle after being struck by a truck in central London where he was pronounced dead at the scene last Wednesday. According to Fox News, “Fisher was one of several doctors appointed to the royal household.”

Is the murder of George H.W. Bush’s doctor and the recent death of Queen Elizabeth II’s homeopathic doctor connected? Both died while riding their bicycles.

Out of control Montana wildfire is fast approaching scenic Going-to-the-Sun Road as tourists are evacuated from Glacier National Park

Howe Fire has grown to 4,000 acres and is spreading throughout the park

Firefighters installing hoses and sprinklers to prevent fire from reaching road

Officials fear rocks and trees could fall along road for years from destabilization

Numerous cabins, homes and a historic lodge have been evacuated

By Nic White For Mailonline Published: 18:49 EDT, 19 August 2018 | Updated: 13:51 EDT, 20 August 2018

A wildfire in Montana's Glacier National Park is forcing more evacuations and has burned within a half-mile of the scenic Going-to-the-Sun Road. Part of the 50-mile, two-lane road that spans the width of the park and crosses the Continental Divide is closed and official are desperate to save it form the fire. Firefighters are installing hoses and sprinklers to prevent the 4,000-acre Howe Fire from spreading on to the road but were dealing with high winds. 'If we have fire along there, what we'd be dealing with is trees and rocks falling along that road for years to come because of the destabilization,' operations chief Rocky Gilbert told the Missoulian. Officials evacuated the Fish Creek Campground and told residents in the small town of Apgar on Lake McDonald they might have to leave. Other campgrounds, the historic Lake McDonald Lodge and private cabins along Going-to-the-Sun Road are already under evacuation orders. Brothers Craig and Sean Simpson, and their father, Henry, were evacuated from their campground on Sunday. 'It's kind of scary, being woken up and told you have to evacuate,' Craig Simpson said. Sean Simpson commended Glacier staff for their handling of the situation. 'They got us out with plenty of time to be safe, and we felt taken care of,' he said. The Simpsons arrived from New England on Saturday and though they had to relocate to Apgar Campground and cancel their plans to hike in the North Fork, they still planned to stay for five nights. Businesspeople who serve tourists in the park said the fire had already hurt them. 'The smoke is what's affecting us,' Glacier Outfitters co-owner Shelby Handlin Hampton told the Missoulian. She said the fire deterred Glacier visitors from the outdoor activities that her shop supports. Many hikers and holidaymakers were forced to flee the park for their lives as the fire suddenly closed in around them. Justin Bilton and his 70-year-old father Charlie were backpacking through Wyoming and Montana and had to drive through the fire to escape. In a video of their terrifying escape, Charlie is heard speaking to his son in a steady voice, trying to calm the young man's nerves. 'I think we can drive through this,' Charlie says. 'Dad, what if the car blows up?' Justin replied. 'Then we're dead. Just keep driving. Not too too fast, we'll be okay,' Charlie replies. They eventually made it to a trail leading to a lake and abandoned their car, which was later destroyed by the fire, and were rescued by rangers on a boat. Elsewhere, officials said a wildfire near California's Yosemite National Park has been fully contained following a recent weeks-long closure. Yosemite's closure came at the height of tourist season, costing the park and nearby communities millions of dollars. The park draws more than 600,000 visitors during a typical August, according to the National Park Service.

Sixty nine major earthquakes hit the Pacific's Ring of Fire in just 48 hours driving fears that the 'Big One' is about to hit California

Sixteen tremors above magnitude 4.5 shook the Pacific 'Ring of Fire' on Monday

This followed a cluster of 53 quakes that hit the geological zone on Sunday

The quakes rattled Indonesia, Bolivia, Japan and Fiji, but failed to reach the US

Scientists have previously warned California is long overdue a major quake

By Harry Pettit For Mailonline Published: 07:10 EDT, 21 August 2018 | Updated: 09:40 EDT, 21 August 2018

Sixty nine major earthquakes have hit Earth's most active geological disaster zone in the space of just 48 hours. Sixteen 'significant' tremors - those at magnitude 4.5 or above - shook the Pacific 'Ring of Fire' on Monday, following a spate of 53 that hit the region Sunday. The quakes rattled Indonesia, Bolivia, Japan and Fiji, but failed to reach the western coast of the United States, which also falls along the infamous geological ring. The tremors have raised concerns that California's 'Big One' - a destructive earthquake of magnitude 8 or greater - may be looming. Scientists have previously warned that Ring of Fire activity may trigger a domino effect that sets off earthquakes and volcanic eruptions elsewhere in the region. California, which straddles the huge San Andreas Fault Line and sits on the eastern edge of the ring, is long overdue a deadly earthquake, researchers claim. The recent spate of Ring of Fire activity was recorded by experts at the United States Geological Survey, which is headquartered in Reston, Virginia. Maps generated by the agency's vast array of seismometers shows Fiji was the worst hit, with five earthquakes above magnitude 4.5 - classed as 'significant' by the USGS - rumbling the country since Monday morning. The largest of these was a 5.0 tremor that struck the region at 6:30am BST (1:30am ET) on Tuesday morning. An enormous 8.2 magnitude earthquake struck in the Pacific Ocean close to Fiji and Tonga on Sunday, but was too deep to cause any significant damage. The quake's depth at 347.7 miles (560 km) would have dampened the shaking at the surface. 'We are monitoring the situation and some places felt it, but it was a very deep earthquake,' Director Apete Soro told Reuters. Indonesia was hit by seven significant earthquakes, while the Soloman Islands, Bolivia and the Tonga were each rocked by a single quake, on Monday. The nations often experience seismic activity as they sit along the Ring of Fire -a massive horseshoe-shaped area in the Pacific basin. The ring is formed of a string of 452 volcanoes and sites of high seismic activity that encircle the Pacific Ocean, including the entire US west coast. The (USGS) has not issued a warning over the recent shakes, meaning they do not pose an immediate risk to US citizens.  WHAT IS EARTH'S 'RING OF FIRE'? Earth's so-called 'Ring of Fire' is a horseshoe-shaped geological disaster zone that is a hot bed for tectonic and volcanic activity. Roughly 90 per cent of the world's earthquakes occur in the belt, which is also home to more than 450 volcanoes. The seismic region stretches along the Pacific Ocean coastlines, where the Pacific Plate grinds against other plates that form the Earth's crust. It loops from New Zealand to Chile, passing through the coasts of Asia and the Americas on the way. In total, the loop makes up a 25,000-mile (40,000-kilometre) -long zone prone to frequent earthquakes and eruptions. The region is susceptible to disasters because it is home to a vast number of 'subduction zones', areas where tectonic plates overlap. Earthquakes are triggered when these plates scrape or slide underneath one another, and when that happens at sea it can spawn tsunamis. But the recent jump in Ring of Fire activity may spark activity elsewhere in the region, including California. Professor Emily Brodsky, an Earth scientist at the University of California Santa Cruz, told Vox in February that volcanoes and earthquakes in the area 'can interact'. California was recently shaken by a cluster of 11 earthquakes, ranging in magnitude from 2.8 to 5.6 on the Richter scale. The cluster occurred last month on the seabed at the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate, around six miles (10km) underwater off the US west coast. This plate forms part of the Cascadia subduction zone, which runs from Northern California to British Columbia. Seismologists say a full rupture along the 650-mile-long (1,000 km) offshore fault could trigger a 9.0 magnitude earthquake and an accompanying tsunami. Fears of a quake of this size, dubbed the 'Big One', were stirred last year by an expert who warned that a destructive earthquake will hit California 'imminently'. Seismologist Dr Lucy Jones, from the US Geological Survey, warned in a dramatic speech that people need to act to protect themselves rather than ignoring the threat. Dr Jones said people's decision not to accept it will only mean more suffer as scientists warn the 'Big One' is now overdue to hit California. In a keynote speech to a meeting of the Japan Geoscience Union and American Geophysical Union, Dr Jones warned that the public are yet to accept the randomness of future earthquakes. People tend to focus on earthquakes happening in the next 30 years but they should be preparing now, she warned. HOW ARE EARTHQUAKES MEASURED? The magnitude of an earthquake differs from its intensity. The magnitude of an earthquake refers to the measurement of energy released where the earthquake originated. Magnitude is calculated based on measurements on seismographs. The intensity of an earthquake refers to how strong the shaking that is produced by the sensation is. According to the United States Geological Survey, 'intensity is determined from the effects on people, human structures and the natural environment'. Earthquakes originate below the surface of the earth in a region called the hypocenter. During an earthquake, one part of a seismograph remains stationary and one part moves with the earth's surface. The earthquake is then measured by the difference in the positions of the still and moving parts of the seismograph.

Humanist group again pushes to stop graduation prayers in Greenville County schools

Battle over prayers that began in 2013 continues

Updated: 2:32 PM EDT Aug 10, 2018 Carla Field Digital Managing Editor

GREENVILLE COUNTY, S.C. —

A humanist group that wants prayers eliminated from graduations and other school ceremonies in Greenville County filed another request with a federal judge Thursday night -- and the school district responded to it on Friday. The American Humanist Association says the district is violating a 2015 injunction in the case that the group claims prohibits all prayers during graduations and ceremonies. The battle over prayer in Greenville County Schools began in 2013, after a complaint was filed on behalf of a fifth-grade-student Mountain View Elementary student. The girl’s parents said they felt alienated" and "stigmatized" during their daughter's graduation, which was held in the chapel of North Greenville University. The AHA alleges that the school district is still allowing religious references in written programs and explicitly Christian prayers in which audience members are encouraged to participate. Greenville County School district officials disagree, and said in an email Thursday, “The Court previously upheld our position on the handling of religious matters and we are confident that our district’s policies and practices do not promote religion but continue to be inclusive of all our families’ religious beliefs, or lack of beliefs." School officials said that graduation ceremonies since 2015 have all stayed within court-approved guidelines. District officials acknowledged that at Greenville High School and J.L. Mann High School’s graduations, students offered non-sectarian prayers. At Greer High School, the senior class president gave a welcome message that included a brief prayer, the creation of which did not involve the faculty or staff. At Berea High School a student offered a one-sentence closing prayer that they composed. A few other students made religious references in their remarks during graduation that would not constitute a prayer, school officials said. “In addition to the four student speakers who included prayer in their remarks in 2017, other high school graduation speakers personally chose to quote or included references to the following influences: Steven Spielberg, Sam from Lord of the Rings, Buddha, Oprah Winfrey, Charles Dickens, Malcolm X, Albert Schweitzer, Nelson Mandela, Carl Jung, Winston Churchill, Neil Armstrong, Diana Nyad, Tavis Smiley, Salomon Andree, Dr. Seuss, Walt Disney, Theodore Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan, Hamilton (the musical), and Lilo and Stich,” officials said. The AHA asked that the school district provide documentation of ceremonies at 28 schools the association says included prayers in their end-of-year-ceremonies or graduations. Included in the school district’s response were the guidelines given to principals including instructions on religious expression, that say: “Students can pray at school. Subject to the same rules for any expression preventing disruption of school. Teachers and other school employees may neither discourage nor encourage students from praying. Students can initiate and lead prayer at appropriate times.” Regarding high school graduations, the guidelines say: “Because it is generally understood that a baccalaureate service is a religious event, neither a public school nor its employees, in an official work capacity, may be involved in the planning and/or execution of a baccalaureate service.” The AHA says that the district’s new policies don't stop prayers, but takes it and proselytizing into public schools "through the backdoor," saying changing “prayer” to “reflection” in the programs doesn’t change that what’s happening during the ceremonies is still prayer. The association argued Thursday that while the district has changed the labels on its programs, replacing invocation or prayer with other terms such as "reflection," the newly named part of the ceremonies continues to be Christian prayers. School district officials said, "Despite the plaintiff’s most recent filing, we believe the complete record and body of evidence before the court will justify our confidence in this matter."

Why Hamas escalated and why it is winning the current round

In retrospect, it was a winning streak, with every round securing greater deterrence.

By Hillel Frisch August 18, 2018 22:19

The accumulated deterrence achieved in the three previous rounds of widescale fighting in 2008-9, 2012 and 2014 between Israel and Hamas has come temporarily to an end. In retrospect, it was a winning streak, with every round securing greater deterrence. If before the 2008-9 round, Hamas launched on average 1,000 missiles per year, it declined to 400 between the first and second rounds in 2012, to less than 250 between 2012 and 2014, the longest duel between the two sides. Then after the 2014 “the land became quiet for nearly four years” (in the Bible, it was usually 40). Fewer than 80 missiles were launched during that period, most if not all by the wayward Salafi organizations, which is why many of them fell in Gaza itself. There were no casualties and almost no damage from these launchings. The professionals, Hamas, the effective ruler of Gaza, and Islamic Jihad, the organization with real fire power in Gaza, stayed out of the fray. The relative peace changed dramatically after the initiation of the “March of Return” violence at the end of March 2018. It begs the question, why the change, and even more, why is Hamas so far winning the last round of violence hands down after being intimidated for so long? There’s a clear answer. Hamas was finding it increasingly difficult to stave off pressure from thousands of families whose sons were not released in the 2011 Gilad Schalit deal nearly seven years ago. Hamas leaders live in an area where they meet their constituency at every turn, in the refugee camps where many live, in the mosques and in the universities and colleges. Their constituency is not the general public for which Hamas cares little, but part of the hard core of 50,000 or so families in Gaza who support Hamas and Islamic Jihad through thick and thin. The answer to these pressures was the “March of Return” campaign. These were the 20,000 at most who came every Friday afternoon (especially late in the afternoon when the sun blurs the eyesight of IDF soldiers facing it) to the security fence and the few hundreds of those who were willing to put themselves at risk confronting the IDF. Amongst them were the dozens of professional Izzadin al-Qassam troopers, who dashed to, and sometimes through, the fence to destroy any equipment left in the area. They were quickly identifiable by their perfect physiques, purposefulness, agility and speed – Hamas’s crack troops. Twenty thousand at the very most (and probably substantially fewer), the numbers of those subsequently exaggerated by both Hamas and the IDF (the writer was able to more or less count them on the live Hamas al-Aqsa media site). This means that 98.5% of the Gaza population and over 90% of those aged 15 to 35 stayed home, consistently. Worse, the expectations that the residents of the West Bank, Arab Jerusalemites and even Israeli Arabs would do battle with Israeli security forces during the campaign failed miserably. The months that followed were the quietest by far in these arenas since 2013, when terrorism picked up once again in the Jerusalem area and other sites in Israel. Hamas was faced with the question what to do next as not only pressure from the families of the prisoners increased but others in the hard core who wondered why Hamas in Gaza should be the only Hamas adherents to take any risks, especially since they have been paid only 40% of their salaries since 2014. Hamas leaders took a risky decision – to escalate with missiles but in a very selective and limited way. It was very risky because Hamas not only recalled 2014 but it was were facing a new defense minister who talks and acts like Russian President Vladimir Putin and who vowed in the past to destroy Hamas rule in Gaza. The move to escalate was a gamble, and the gamble was won. Limiting the missiles to the Gaza periphery meant that it was possible to increase the costs Israel incurred by not coming to a deal over the prisoners, or alternatively, release more prisoners when Israel comes round to making the deal without risking all-out conflagration. Hamas, experts in Israeli politics, figured that hitting at the 20,000 inhabitants of the Gaza periphery is worth less than a seat in the Knesset during election year. Expanding the strikes to Ashdod, Ashkelon and Beersheba, mainstays of Likud support, would force the Netanyahu government to act in a massive way. This is why Hamas has not struck wider. And this is why the government has responded just as Hamas hoped it would – with limited tit-for-tat strikes in which Israeli civilians and military personnel are increasingly paying a higher price. The answer obviously is that Israel must start preparing for a massive fourth round. There’s simply no other way. The alternative is brokering a prisoner deal which will soon be followed by more rounds of limited Hamas violence to meet other demands – and the list is a long one, from terminating limitations on Gaza fishing (read, enhancing the possibility of arms smuggling from the Syrian coast), or ceasing limiting dual-purpose imports such as cement and steel beams (for underground tunnels and missile storage facilities). Despondent? One needn’t be. The good news is that the fourth round may be like the Yom Kippur War, against the Arab states. There was no change in the level of hatred amongst Arab states in making the decision to end war against the Jewish state. It was sheer pain that made the Yom Kippur War the last in which Arab states actively sought war with Israel. The fourth round might generate the same kind of thinking in Hamas. Its members will no doubt continue to hate the Jews and the Jewish state as before, but the pain might prove to be sufficiently unbearable to induce a change in behavior, though hardly a change of heart.

White House rejects offer to free Pastor Andrew Brunson

Jazz Shaw Posted at 10:41 am on August 20, 2018

I wrote my first article on the imprisonment of American Pastor Andrew Brunson in Turkey more than 20 months ago. In the more than a year and a half that’s passed since then, there has been virtually no good news regarding Brunson’s prospects for the future. Despite numerous pleas and campaigns from many allied nations and Christians around the world, the Tyrant of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan has repeatedly refused to listen to reason. Then, this weekend, for one brief moment it seemed as if things were about to change. Turkey put an offer on the table to release Pastor Brunson and allow him to return home. See Also: Teens already forgot how to write. Now they don’t read. The White House refused the offer almost immediately. That may come as a disappointment to many, but even I have to agree with their reasons. This was no diplomatic exchange or goodwill gesture. Turkey was looking for us to pay a ransom for him and it was a huge one. (CNN) The White House rejected Turkey’s offer to release an American pastor in exchange for forgiveness of billions of dollars in US fines on a Turkish bank, expressing that other matters would be considered only after Andrew Brunson is released, a senior administration official told The Wall Street Journal. The rejection could lead to the US imposing additional sanctions against Turkey sometime this week, the Journal reported. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Thursday that the United States is willing to do so if Brunson isn’t released. “A real NATO ally wouldn’t have arrested Brunson in the first place,” the senior White House official told the Journal, referencing how Turkey is a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. We don’t pay ransoms for hostages because of the precedent it would set. (Or at least we usually don’t, though there were some questionable dealings with Iran during the last administration.) But there may be reason for increased hope in this news after all. If Erdogan is willing to talk money, that means that the sanctions are working. Turkey’s currency is collapsing and their businesses are floundering under international pressure. The willingness to offer a deal means that Erdogan’s mind has opened to the idea of releasing the Pastor. If pressure continues, he may be willing to simply release him in the hopes of the White House carrying through and easing some of the pressure on them. Also, keep in mind that all of his is unfolding just as tensions between our two nations have been reaching dangerous levels. Just this weekend someone shot up the U.S. embassy in Turkey. Fortunately, the office was closed for Eid al-Adha and nobody was hurt. Amazingly (/sarc), the Turks haven’t managed to identify or capture a suspect in the shooting yet. (Associated Press) Unknown attackers fired shots at a security booth outside the U.S. Embassy in Turkey’s capital early Monday, but U.S. officials said no one was hurt. Ankara governor’s office said six shots were fired from a moving white car towards the embassy compound at 5:30 am (2:30 GMT). Three of the bullets hit the gate and a window. The statement said the investigation was ongoing and the suspect or suspects have not yet been identified. Erdogan is no longer an ally in any real sense of the word and deserves little in the way of respect from his NATO “partners.” If he truly wants to normalize relations and stop the slide of his nation toward tyranny, releasing the Pastor with no strings attached would be a good start.

Measles cases hit record high in Europe

20 August 2018

Cases of measles in Europe have hit a record high, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). More than 41,000 people have been infected in the first six months of 2018, leading to 37 deaths. Last year there were 23,927 cases and the year before 5,273. Experts blame this surge in infections on a drop in the number of people being vaccinated. In England, there have been 807 cases so far this year. The WHO is calling on European countries to take action. Public Health England say the outbreaks in England are largely due to people who have travelled to areas of mainland Europe that have had outbreaks. Measles is highly infectious and spreads by droplets in coughs and sneezes. The infection lasts seven to 10 days. But while most people recover completely, it can cause some serious complications, including: encephalitis (infection and swelling of the brain) meningitis febrile convulsions pneumonia liver infection (hepatitis) The MMR vaccine can prevent infection but discredited research 20 years ago that erroneously linked MMR to autism has stopped some people from trusting the vaccine. The NHS recommends all children receive the MMR around their first birthday and then just before starting school. Ukraine and Serbia are among the countries with the highest rates in Europe. Dr Nedret Emiroglu, from the WHO, said: "This partial setback demonstrates that every under-immunised person remains vulnerable no matter where they live and every country must keep pushing to increase coverage and close immunity gaps." Italy's upper house of parliament recently voted through legislation to abolish the law that makes vaccination mandatory for children before they start school. The amendment will mean parents of unvaccinated children will no longer face fines. Measles symptoms: cold-like symptoms - runny nose, sneezing signs the body is fighting infection - high fever, tiredness, loss of appetite, muscle aches red, watery eyes (conjunctivitis greyish spots in the mouth red, raised spots that may merge together becoming blotchy, starting around the hairline two to four days after the initial symptoms, then spreading down over the head, neck and rest of the body Find more NHS information on measles here. In England, there have been 807 laboratory confirmed measles cases, according to Public Health England (PHE). The highest numbers have been seen in: London (281) South East (166) South West (139) West Midlands (8 Yorkshire and Humberside (75) Dr Mary Ramsay, head of immunisation at PHE, said: "We have seen a number of measles outbreaks in England which are linked to ongoing large outbreaks in Europe. "The majority of cases we are seeing are in teenagers and young adults who missed out on their MMR vaccine when they were children. "Anyone who missed out on their MMR vaccine in the past or are unsure if they had two doses should contact their GP practice to catch up. "We would encourage people to ensure they are up to date with their MMR vaccine before travelling to countries with ongoing measles outbreaks, heading to large gatherings such as festivals, or before starting university." Dr Pauline Paterson from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said: "With a vaccine preventable disease, one case is one too many, and the numbers of measles cases so far this year is astounding."

DC's Batman Abandons Christian Faith in New Comic

08-19-2018 CBNNews.com Emily Jones

A new issue of DC's Batman comic reveals the iconic superhero's Christian upbringing, and the event that made him leave it all behind. "Cold Days" Part 3 in Batman #53 begins with Bruce Wayne (who is secretly Batman) questioning his life after Catwoman abandons him at the wedding altar. Wayne notices a character's cross necklace, which sparks a flashback to his early years. "My father was a Christian. He held hallow the immortal soul, heaven, the Father and the Son," Wayne says in the story. "He wanted me to believe too. But he wanted me to come to it on my own. He went to church. He told me all the stories." However, Wayne rejected his faith when his parents were suddenly murdered. "I put aside believing in a deity or believing in anything my father thought had saved him. I couldn't really see that anything had saved him," he recalls. "I searched for something solid to put my faith in. I asked a great deal of questions. I paid for some answers. But I didn't find anything out there." Eventually, Wayne puts his faith in Batman. Derek Stauffer from Screen Rant says "a deep belief in Batman saved him." "Batman became the symbol of morality, goodness and faith in Bruce Wayne's world," he writes, also noting that "Batman couldn't save Bruce from his despair over losing Catwoman. Batman, or more accurately Bruce, is just a man." According to Stauffer, Batman’s lack of faith in God isn't "all too shocking to comic fans." Batman's religious background has been ambiguous, but it was generally assumed that he was raised a Christian.

Chinese Cops Now Spying on American Soil

China is compiling a global registry of its ethnic minorities who have fled persecution, threatening to detain the families of those who don’t comply. The message: Nowhere is safe.

Bethany Allen-Ebrahimian 08.14.18 5:08 AM E

A major human rights crisis is unfolding in northwestern China, according to the United Nations, which said last week that there were credible reports that the Chinese government is holding one million or more ethnic minorities in secretive detention camps. Yet even for those who have escaped China, surveillance and intimidation have followed. As part of a massive campaign to monitor and intimidate its ethnic minorities no matter where they are, Chinese authorities are creating a global registry of Uighurs who live outside of China, threatening to detain their relatives if they do not provide personal and identifying information to Chinese police. This campaign is now reaching even Uighurs who live in the United States. A few months ago, Barna, who lives in a major U.S. city and requested that her real name not be revealed, received an odd message from her mother, who lives in China. Barna’s mother asked her to send her U.S. car license plate number, her phone number, her U.S. bank card number, and a photo of her ID card. Barna’s mother said that China is creating a new ID card system that includes all Chinese, even those who are abroad. “From her unsettled voice, I can tell she has been pushed by the authorities... For the sake of my mom’s safety, I said OK.” — ‘Barna’ Since her mother was located in China and they were talking via WeChat, a Chinese chat app permitted by China’s internet regulator since it gives authorities access to messages and phone calls, Barna knew that their conversation was likely being monitored. So she told her mother that she did not have a car in the United States and that she only uses her Chinese bank card, though her mother knows this isn’t the case. But Barna agreed to send the photo of her ID card. “From her unsettled voice, I can tell she has been pushed by the authorities,” said Barna. “For the sake of my mom’s safety, I said OK.” In recent months, many other Uighurs living in the United States have received similar demands from Chinese authorities, relayed by family members back in China who were paid official visits from local public security bureau officials. One Uighur living on the east coast told The Daily Beast that Chinese police had demanded a copy of the individual’s employment contract with their university; another was told they had to provide a letter from their academic supervisor. If they don’t comply, these Uighurs know that their relatives may be detained. “I’ve heard about many of these cases of influence and intimidation from Chinese authorities being extended to Uighurs abroad, whether they are students or journalists or everyday people,” said James Millward, a professor of Chinese and Central Asian history at Georgetown University. “In many cases they are permanent residents, green card holders, or even citizens in the United States, Australia, or elsewhere.”

The Real Reasons Peter Strzok was Fired from the FBI

By Sara Carter | August 13, 2018 | 9:04 PM EDT

Former FBI agents say the text messages are not the only reason Strzok was fired

There are certainly more than just the anti-Trump text messages sent by former FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok that led the second in command at the FBI to fire him. FBI Deputy Director David Bowdich actually overruled a recommendation by the bureau’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) to suspend and demote the former senior agent, and instead, terminated Strzok on Friday. But, what could have led FBI Deputy Director David Bowdich, to make the decision to overrule OPR? Why didn’t FBI Director Christopher Wray take charge and fire Strzok himself? And more importantly, why would OPR recommend Strzok–who was charged with handling the investigation into alleged collusion between President Trump’s campaign and Russia–only receive a 60-day suspension and demotion? Strzok’s firing went well beyond texting about Trump In a statement to SaraACarter.com on Monday, the FBI said: “Mr. Strzok was subject to the standard FBI review and disciplinary process after conduct highlighted in the IG report was referred to the FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR).” “OPR reviewed the investigative materials, as well as the written and oral responses of Mr. Strzok and his counsel, and issued OPR’s decision,” an FBI spokesperson said. “The Deputy Director, as the senior career FBI official, has the delegated authority to review and modify any disciplinary findings and/or penalty as deemed necessary in the best interest of the FBI.” Former FBI special agents, some of whom worked with OPR for years, said they agree with Bodwich’s decision. They told SaraACarter.com that the system is broken and Bodwich had no other choice but to step in and fire Strzok. They say political leanings, friendships and dual systems of justice inside OPR have plagued how cases regarding FBI agents are adjudicated and handled. “Strzok was under oath before Congress and he made statements that appeared to be false and refused to answer some questions, but he was going to get just a slap on the wrist,” said a former supervisory special agent from OPR adjudication, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the nature of their work. “There is absolutely no wiggle room when it comes to lack of candor in the FBI…unless you’re an SES (Senior Executive Service). Strzok’s firing went well beyond texting about Trump. Strzok would have also been involved in the handling of the FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) application to the FISC (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court)…” The agent noted that Strzok was “well aware that he was lying by deception when they did not include the information on who paid for the dossier and (that) Bruce Ohr was back-channeling information for a discredited source.” “Strzok knew they were not putting the application in the right context,” the former FBI supervisory special agent added. “If there was the slightest doubt if that application was not 100 percent true, then that application would not go forward.” It almost makes me ashamed when I tell people I was an FBI agent…it grieves me to see what it’s become The agent continued, “I find it absolutely preposterous that (former) Deputy Director Rod Rosenstein is still in his position knowing that he signed off on the final FISA” application. Rosenstein oversees the special counsel investigation after DOJ Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself from the case. He signed off on the final FISA warrant in the Spring of 2017, allowing the FBI to continue spying on former Trump campaign volunteer, Carter Page. The FBI official said Rosenstein should have been aware of the “lack of information” contained in the application. During a House hearing in June, Rosenstein noted that he doesn’t read through all the applications that are brought for his signature, saying “it depends on the circumstances.” Another former FBI official said they were stunned when OPR –critical of Strzok’s text messages–only recommended 60-day suspension and demotion. Strzok, who testified before lawmakers in July, said he didn’t allow his political views to interfere with his investigations. “I’m a bit emotional right now after hearing what OPR proposed (for Strzok),” said Robyn Gritz, a former FBI supervisory special agent, who has been fighting the Bureau for years. Gritz, who served 16 years in the bureau, said she was targeted by senior FBI officials, (including now fired FBI Director Andrew McCabe) for filing a harassment claim against one of her supervisors. “I lost everything,” she said. However, the retired FBI supervisory special agent from OPR adjudication said it was widely known within the department that some senior officials were adamant supporters of former President Barack Obama and also supported Hillary Clinton for president. OPR is headed by Candace Will, a former DOJ official. She could not be reached immediately for comment. Will was appointed to the head of OPR in August 2004 by then FBI Director Robert Mueller, who is now heading the Special Counsel’s investigation into alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. Prior, she joined the DOJ in 1988 and in 1994, she was an Assistant Counsel in the Justice Department’s Office of Professional Responsibility, according to her biography on the FBI.gov. “I saw political decisions made while I was there in the office. There was a political culture that was hard to shake,” said the former FBI official with OPR, noting that there were approximately 14 to 16 adjudicators. “Most of the people there (the adjudicators) are former DOJ officials or attorney’s hired off the street. There are were very few FBI special agents working in OPR. The agents would look at things differently.” “It almost makes me ashamed when I tell people I was an FBI agent,” said the former official. “I was so proud of the bureau, but it grieves me to see what it’s become.”

Sara A. Carter is a national and international award winning investigative reporter whose stories have ranged from national security, terrorism, immigration and front line coverage of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Boy, 11, hacks into replica U.S. vote website in minutes at convention

Reuters Staff August 14, 2018 / 4:12 AM / 4 days ago

(Reuters) - An 11-year-old boy managed to hack into a replica of Florida’s election results website in 10 minutes and change names and tallies during a hackers convention, organizers said, stoking concerns about security ahead of nationwide votes. The boy was the quickest of 35 children, ages 6 to 17, who all eventually hacked into copies of the websites of six swing states during the three-day Def Con security convention over the weekend, the event said on Twitter on Tuesday. The event was meant to test the strength of U.S. election infrastructure and details of the vulnerabilities would be passed onto the states, it added. The National Association of Secretaries of State - who are responsible for tallying votes - said it welcomed the convention’s efforts. But it said the actual systems used by states would have additional protections. “It would be extremely difficult to replicate these systems since many states utilize unique networks and custom-built databases with new and updated security protocols,” the association said. The hacking demonstration came as concerns swirl about election system vulnerabilities before mid-term state and federal elections. U.S President Donald Trump’s national security team warned two weeks ago that Russia had launched “pervasive” efforts to interfere in the November polls. Participants at the convention changed party names and added as many as 12 billion votes to candidates, the event said. “Candidate names were changed to ‘Bob Da Builder’ and ‘Richard Nixon’s head’,” the convention tweeted. The convention linked to what it said was the Twitter account of the winning boy - named there as Emmett Brewer from Austin, Texas. A screenshot posted on the account showed he had managed to change the name of the winning candidate on the replica Florida website to his own and gave himself billions of votes. The convention’s “Voting Village” also aimed to expose security issues in other systems such as digital poll books and memory-card readers.

Amazing New Brain Map of Every Synapse Points to the Roots of Thinking

By Shelly Fan - Aug 14, 2018 8,631

Imagine a map of every single star in an entire galaxy. A map so detailed that it lays out what each star looks like, what they’re made of, and how each star is connected to another through the grand physical laws of the cosmos. While we don’t yet have such an astronomical map of the heavens, thanks to a momentous study published last week in Neuron, there is now one for the brain. If every neuron were a galaxy, then synapses—small structures dotted along the serpentine extensions of neurons—are its stars. In a technical tour-de-force, a team from the University of Edinburgh in the UK constructed the first detailed map of every single synapse in the mouse brain. Using genetically modified mice, the team literally made each synapse light up under fluorescent light throughout the brain like the starry night. And similar to the way stars differ, the team found that synapses vastly varied, but in striking patterns that may support memory and thinking. “There are more synapses in a human brain than there are stars in the galaxy. The brain is the most complex object we know of and understanding its connections at this level is a major step forward in unravelling its mysteries,” said lead author Dr. Seth Grant at the Center for Clinical Brain Sciences. The detailed maps revealed a fundamental law of brain activity. With the help of machine learning, the team categorized roughly one billion synapses across the brain into 37 sub-types. Here’s the kicker: when sets of neurons receive electrical information, such as trying to decide between different solutions for a problem, unique sub-types of synapses spread out among different neurons unanimously spark with activity. In other words: synapses come in types. And each type may control a thought, a decision, or a memory. The neuroscience Twittersphere blew up. “Whoa,” commented Dr. Ben Saunders simply at the University of Minnesota. It’s an “amazing paper cataloguing the diversity and distribution of synapse sub-types across the entire mouse brain,” wrote neurogeneticist Dr. Kevin Mitchell. It “highlights [the] fact that synapses are the key computational elements in the nervous system.” The Connectome Connection The team’s interest in constructing the “synaptome”—the first entire catalog of synapses in the mouse brain—stemmed from a much larger project: the connectome. In a nutshell, the connectome is all the neuronal connections within you. Evangelized by Dr. Sebastian Seung in a TED Talk, the connectome is the biological basis of who you are—your memories, personality, and how you reason and think. Capture the connectome, and one day scientists may be able to reconstruct you—something known as whole brain emulation. Yet the connectome only describes how neurons functionally talk to each other. Where in the brain is it physically encoded? Enter synapses. Neuroscientists have long known that synapses transmit information between neurons using chemicals and electricity. There’s also been hints that synapses are widely diverse in terms of what proteins they contain, but traditionally this diversity’s been mostly ignored. Until recently, most scientists believed that actual computations occur at the neuronal body—the bulbous part of a neuron from which branches reach out. So far there’s never been a way to look at the morphology and function of synapses across the entire brain, the authors explained. Rather, we’ve been focused on mapping these crucial connection points in small areas. “Synaptome mapping could be used to ask if the spatial distribution of synapses [that differ] is related to connectome architecture,” the team reasoned. And if so, future brain emulators may finally have something solid to grasp onto. SYNMAP To construct the mouse synaptome, the authors developed a pipeline that they dubbed SYNMAP. They started with genetically modified mice, which have their synapses glow different colors. Each synapse is jam-packed with different proteins, with—stay with me—PSD-95 and SAP102 being two of the most prominent members. The authors added glowing proteins to these, which essentially acted as torches to light up each synapse in the brain. Next, they painstakingly chopped up the brain into slices, used a microscope to capture images of synapses in different brain regions, and pieced the photos back together. An image of synapses looks like a densely-packed star map to an untrained eye. Categorizing each synapse is beyond the ability (and time commitment) of any human researcher, so the team took advantage of new machine learning classification techniques, and developed an algorithm that could parse these data—more than 10 terabytes—automatically, without human supervision. A Physical Connectome Right off the bat, the team was struck by the “exquisite patterns” the glowing synapses formed. One tagged protein—PSD-95—seemed to hang out on the more exterior portions of the brain where higher cognitive functions occur. Although there is overlap, the other glowing protein preferred more interior regions of the brain. When they looked closely, they found that the two glowing proteins represented different sets of synapses, the author explained. Each region of the brain has a characteristic “synaptome signature.” Like fingerprints that differ in shape and size, various brain regions also seemed to contain synapses that differ in their protein composition, size, and number. Using a machine learning algorithm developed in-house, the team categorized the synapses into 37 subtypes. Remarkably, regions of the brain related to higher reasoning and thinking abilities also contained the most diverse synapse population, whereas “reptile brain regions” such as the brain stem were more uniform in synapse sub-type. Why? To see whether synapse diversity helps with information processing, the team used computer simulations to see how synapses would respond to common electrical patterns within the hippocampus—the seahorse-shaped region crucial for learning and memory. The hippocampus was one of the regions that showed remarkable diversity in synapse subtypes, with each spread out in striking patterns throughout the brain structure. Remarkably, each type of electrical information processing translated to a unique synaptome map—change the input, change the synaptome. It suggests that the brain can process multiple electrical information using the same brain region, because different synaptomes are recruited. The team found similar results when they used electrical patterns recorded from mice trying to choose between three options for a reward. Different synaptomes lit up when the choice was correct versus wrong. Like a map into internal thoughts, synaptomes drew a vivid picture of what the mouse was thinking when it made its choice. Synaptome Reprogramming Like computer code, a synaptome seems to underlie a computational output—a decision or thought. So what if the code is screwed up? Psychiatric diseases often have genetic causes that impact proteins in the synapse. Using mice that show symptoms similar to schizophrenia or autism, the team mapped their synaptome—and found dramatic changes in how the brain’s various synapse sub-types are structured and connected. For example, in response to certain normal brain electrical patterns, some synaptome maps only weakly emerged, whereas others became abnormally strong in the mutant mice. It seems like certain psychiatric diseases “reprogram” the synaptome, the authors concluded. Stronger or new synaptome maps could, in fact, be why patients with schizophrenia experience delusions and hallucinations. So are you your synaptome? Perhaps. The essence of you—memories, thought patterns—seems to be etched into how diverse synapses activate in response to input. Like a fingerprint for memories and decisions, synaptomes can then be “read” to decipher that thought. But as the authors acknowledge, the study’s only the beginning. Along with the paper, the team launched a Synaptome Explorer tool to help neuroscientists further parse the intricate connections between synapses and you. “This map opens a wealth of new avenues of research that should transform our understanding of behavior and brain disease,” said Grant.

MIT Computer Model Predicts Dramatic Drop In Quality Of Life Around 2020 And The “End Of Civilization” Around 2040

Is humanity approaching a major turning point? A computer model that was originally developed in 1973 by a group of scientists at MIT is warning that things are about to dramatically change. If the computer predict0ions are accurate, our standard of living will start to decline dramatically around the year 2020, and we will witness the “end of civilization” around the year 2040. Of course this is not the first time ominous predictions such as this have been made about our future. For years, experts have been warning that we are heading for severe shortages of water, food and oil as our limited natural resources begin to run out. For years, experts have been warning that our economic model is not sustainable and that we are heading for a historic collapse. For years, experts have been warning about the alarming increase in seismic activity all over the planet and about the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Society is crumbling all around us, and the elements for a “perfect storm” are definitely coming together. So maybe this computer model is on to something. The name of the computer program is “World One”, and it was originally created by Jay Forrester… The prediction came from a programme nicknamed World One, which was developed by a team of MIT researchers and processed by Australia’s largest computer. It was originally devised by computer pioneer Jay Forrester, after he was tasked by the Club of Rome to develop a model of global sustainability. However, the shocking result of the computer calculations showed that the level of pollution and population would cause a global collapse by 2040. The fact that the Club of Rome was behind Jay Forrester’s work is a major red flag, because David Rockefeller and other globalists founded the Club of Rome and it has always been used to further the globalist agenda. Could it be possible that this computer model is a glimpse into the kind of future that the globalists believe is coming? According to the model, life as we know it is about to change in a massive way… At this time the broadcasters addreses the audience: “At around 2020, the condition of the planet becomes highly critical. “If we do nothing about it, the quality of life goes down to zero. Pollution becomes so seriously it will start to kill people, which in turn will cause the population to diminish, lower than it was in the 1900. “At this stage, around 2040 to 2050, civilised life as we know it on this planet will cease to exist.” The computer model appears to be primarily concerned with natural resources, pollution and population levels, but other factors should be considered as well. In order to have “civilization”, people need to behave in a civilized manner, and we see more evidence that we are in an advanced state of social decay on a daily basis. For example, one would think that priests would be some of the most well-behaved and “civilized” members of our society, but a new report about clergy child abuse in Pennsylvania is pulling back the curtain on incredible acts of darkness… Horrific details have emerged about predatory behavior by priests, including those who made young boys rinse their mouths with holy water to ‘purify’ them after they were forced to give oral sex and one young boy made to pose naked as Jesus while other priests took pornographic pictures and shared them with other clergymen. A bombshell report by a grand jury in Pennsylvania has extensively detailed for the first time how 300 priests sexually abused more than 1,000 children and how church leaders, some of whom are still alive, covered it up. Remember, these 300 priests are just from one state. There are countless other incidents of abuse all over the country, and it is a crisis that appears to be escalating. Earlier today, I came across a story about a 22-year-old man in Michigan that approached a group of young girls in a forceful manner, but fortunately they were able to fight him off… Four Michigan girls successfully fought off a man who allegedly intended to kidnap and have sex with one of them by punching him and flinging hot coffee in his face. Bruce Hipkins, 22, of Tuscola County, Michigan, was charged with kidnapping, unlawful imprisonment, assault and battery and criminal sexual conduct charges following the incident which occurred Friday night. The thin veneer of civilization that we all take for granted on a daily basis is wearing very thin, and it is all that really separates us from societal collapse, chaos and anarchy. Ultimately, a computer model from 1973 is probably not going to be the best guide, but I do agree that enormous societal changes are heading our way very rapidly. In fact, I wrote an entire novel about what America will start to look like as those societal changes begin to accelerate. I am more convinced than ever that America is heading for a “perfect storm” that will bring us to our knees, but most Americans appear to have bought into the fiction that everything is going to be okay somehow even though it is exceedingly clear that virtually nothing about our society is sustainable over an extended period of time. A day of reckoning is inevitably coming, and even a computer model from 1973 can see that. For those of you that have stopped, it is time to start prepping again. A major international debt crisis has started, war almost erupted in the Middle East last week, and civil unrest is starting to erupt in major cities all across America. I believe that we are going to witness bigger changes over the next two years than we have over the last ten years combined. The clock is ticking, and America’s date with destiny is fast approaching. As always, let us hope for the best, but let us also get prepared for the worst. Michael Snyder is a nationally syndicated writer, media personality and political activist.

Has Bezos Become More Powerful In DC Than Trump?

by Tyler Durden Wed, 08/15/2018 - 10:47

Authored by May Jeong via VanityFair.com,

The deal for an obscure $10 billion Pentagon contract suggests the extent to which Jeff Bezos is gobbling up the swamp... without the guy in the White House even batting an eye.  There’s a new scandal quietly unfolding in Washington. It’s far bigger than Housing Secretary Ben Carson buying a $31,000 dinette set for his office, or former EPA chief Scott Pruitt deploying an aide to hunt for a deal on a used mattress. It involves the world’s richest man, President Trump’s favorite general, and a $10 billion defense contract. And it may be a sign of how tech giants and Silicon Valley tycoons will dominate Washington for generations to come. The controversy involves a plan to move all of the Defense Department’s data—classified and unclassified—on to the cloud. The information is currently strewn across some 400 centers, and the Pentagon’s top brass believes that consolidating it into one cloud-based system, the way the CIA did in 2013, will make it more secure and accessible. That’s why, on July 26, the Defense Department issued a request for proposals called JEDI, short for Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure. Whoever winds up landing the winner-take-all contract will be awarded $10 billion—instantly becoming one of America’s biggest federal contractors. But when JEDI was issued, on the day Congress recessed for the summer, the deal appeared to be rigged in favor of a single provider: Amazon. According to insiders familiar with the 1,375-page request for proposal, the language contains a host of technical stipulations that only Amazon can meet, making it hard for other leading cloud-services providers to win—or even apply for—the contract. One provision, for instance, stipulates that bidders must already generate more than $2 billion a year in commercial cloud revenues—a “bigger is better” requirement that rules out all but a few of Amazon’s rivals. What’s more, the process of crafting JEDI bears all the hallmarks of the swamp that Trump has vowed to drain. Though there has long been talk about the Defense Department joining the cloud, the current call for bids was put together only after Defense Secretary James Mattis hired a D.C. lobbyist who had previously consulted for Amazon. The lobbyist, Sally Donnelly, served as a top advisor to Mattis while the details of JEDI were being hammered out. During her tenure, Mattis flew to Seattle to tour Amazon’s headquarters and meet with Jeff Bezos. Then, as the cloud-computing contract was being finalized, Donnelly’s former lobbying firm, SBD Advisors, was bought by an investment fund with ties to Amazon’s cloud-computing unit. Congressional insiders who have reviewed the process question whether Donnelly violated a federal law that bars executive-branch employees from participating in government decisions that affect their personal interests. “We recently became aware of serious and possible criminal violations related to the Amazon cloud DOD contract process,” says a high-ranking congressional staffer who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “We are concerned about the implications of the appearance of conflicts of interest and impropriety related to how Pentagon personnel with close ties to Amazon may have influenced multi-billion-dollar cloud contracts.” Donnelly, through her lawyer, denies any wrongdoing. “Ms. Donnelly sold her entire stake in SBD Advisors before setting foot in the Pentagon,” the lawyer said. “From that moment forward, she has had absolutely no financial or other interest in SBD Advisors or its clients.” But whether or not any legal or ethical boundaries were crossed, Amazon’s high-ranking connections in the Pentagon underscore how Jeff Bezos continues to wield influence in Washington, even as the president himself rails against the online goliath. It also raises a larger question: How do you drain a swamp when the alligators are bigger than ever?When you have that kind of access during a $10 billion procurement, that compromises the integrity of the procurement,” says John Weiler, an industry expert who runs a trade group that includes many leading IT firms. “Amazon was basically able to write the playbook.” The details of the JEDI contract provide a window into how new players like Amazon are faring in the notoriously insular world of defense contracting. Donnelly, the lobbyist at the center of the controversy, is a former reporter for Time who set up her own lobbying shop a half mile from the White House in 2012. Stacked with former high-ranking officials from the NSA and the Pentagon, SBD Advisors boasted that it helped clients “navigate the political and media environment in the national security space” and “maximize opportunities.” Among Donnelly’s clients was Amazon Web Services, the online giant’s cloud-computing unit. During her time at SBD, Donnelly grew close to General Mattis. When Mattis was nominated by President Trump to lead the Pentagon, she was brought on to run his Senate confirmation process. The day after he was sworn in, Donnelly went to work for him as a special advisor. Donnelly enjoyed direct access to Mattis, and the cloud community knew it. “It was a well known thing that if you needed something you would give it to Sally, and Sally would give it to the defense secretary,” says an insider who worked closely with Donnelly. As one of the secretary’s top advisors, Donnelly vetted his schedule and arranged his meetings. And among the most signficant meetings that took place under her watch was a visit to Amazon’s headquarters in Seattle on August 10, 2017. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos personally tweeted a photo of himself hosting #SecDef Mattis. Amazon insists that Bezos and Mattis did not discuss the cloud bid during the visit. But the defense secretary reportedly returned from the visit convinced that the Pentagon needed to turn its data over to a commercial cloud provider. A month after Mattis met with Bezos, on September 13, 2017, the Pentagon put out a memo citing the defense secretary’s visit to Seattle, which it hailed as an “epicenter of innovation.” The memo then called for a cloud bid that would cover all of the Pentagon’s data for its 2.3 million employees and service members. Amazon, it appeared, was suddenly in prime position to land a $10 billion defense contract. Much of the language of JEDI, in fact, seems specifically tailored for Jeff Bezos. “Everybody immediately knew that it was for Amazon,” says a rival bidder who asked not to be named. To even make a bid, a provider must maintain a distance of at least 150 miles between its data centers, a prerequisite that only Amazon can currently meet. JEDI also asks for “32 GB of RAM”—the precise specification of Amazon’s services. (Microsoft, by contrast, offers only 28 GB, and Google provides 30 GB.) In places, JEDI echoes Amazon’s own language: It calls for a “ruggedized” storage system, the same word Amazon uses to tout its Snowball Edge product. The Defense Department says that neither Mattis nor Donnelly were involved in shaping JEDI. But congressional insiders plan to take a closer look at how and when Donnelly benefited from the sale of her lobbying firm. According to her financial disclosure forms, she sold her stake in SBD Advisors for $1.17 million two days before she went to work for Mattis. But she continued to receive payments while she was working at the Pentagon, at a time when Amazon remained a client of the firm. And in March, two weeks after Donnelly left the Pentagon, SBD was bought by C5 Capital, a private equity firm with direct ties to Amazon. On its website, C5 trumpets that it is working with Amazon Web Services to “meet the growth opportunity being created by the geographic expansion of AWS.” In 2016, C5 and AWS partnered in Bahrain-based fund that backed cloud startups in Africa and the Middle East. “We’ve been partnering with C5 around the world for a long time,” Teresa Carlson, Amazon’s vice president for worldwide public sector, said at a joint event in Washington in May 2017. Leading Amazon rivals like Google, Microsoft, and IBM are up in arms about the way JEDI was crafted to benefit Amazon. “Everybody in the industry was quite surprised,” says one rival bidder who asked not to be identified. On August 7, Oracle filed an official protest with the Government Accountability Office, arguing that JEDI violates federal procurement laws. In addition, some cybersecurity experts warn that allowing a single company to manage the Pentagon’s data will make it vulnerable to cyberattacks and reduce innovation. Amazon and others says that it makes sense not to spread the data around. “If you don’t have good experience and a workforce that understands cloud, it’s going to be really hard to try to absorb multiple clouds and create multiple architectures,” Carlson told the Washington Post. And the company’s widely perceived edge in the JEDI process underscores that bigger is still considered better when it comes to defense contracts. Amazon Web Services generated $17.5 billion last year—nearly 10 percent of the online giant’s total revenues. “Amazon was an early mover in this market,” says William Schneider, a defense analyst with the Hudson Institute. “It’s a dominant player, and they are the initial providers of cloud services in the intelligence community.” In a larger sense, the JEDI contract represents the growing clout that technology companies are wielding in Washington—and how they are increasingly wiring the swamp for their own benefit. Amazon has spent $67 million on lobbying since 2000—including more this year than Citigroup, JP Morgan Chase, and Wells Fargo combined. Its Washington office employs more than 100 lobbyists, including 68 so-called “revolvers”—officials who have moved from government employment to the private sector. The company also employs many former officials with insider connections, including Scott Renda, who worked for the Office of Management and Budget’s cloud computing division, and Anne Rung, who served as the government’s chief acquisition officer. If you think the JEDI contract is big, consider this: Last year, working for Bezos, Rung helped pass the so-called Amazon amendment, a provision buried in a defense authorization bill that will establish Amazon as the go-to portal for every online purchase the government makes—some $53 billion every year. President Trump may enjoy firing off incendiary tweets attacking Amazon. But Bezos is quietly finding new ways to bolster his empire with billions in federal tax dollars. And the Pentagon, it appears, is helping him do it.

First Transgender Nominee For Governor Thinks ‘Radicalized Christians’ Are A Problem

11:38 PM 08/14/2018 Scott Morefield | Reporter

Christine Hallquist, the country’s first major party transgender candidate as the newly minted Democratic nominee for the governorship of Vermont, once tweeted an insinuation that “radicalized Christians” are a problem that Americans currently “tolerate.” “And we worry about sharia law!!” Hallquist tweeted in June 2017 along with a link to an article from “LGBTQ Nation” about a girl disqualified from a soccer team because she looked like a boy. “Radicalized Christians are a part of the American landscape, and we tolerate it.” Hallquist’s tweets about Christians didn’t stop there. In January 2018, the Vermont candidate for governor tweeted a link to a Christian satire site jokingly claiming that a Christian evangelist said President Trump “was merely sharing the gospel” with Stormy Daniels along with the caption (and an obvious punctuation error) “Some of these Christian evangelist’s are just downright crazy.” Several other tweets seemed to show a disdain for conservative Christians, including an assertion that people who allow children to be harassed for being gay probably “call themselves Christians.” Hallquist won Tuesday’s Democratic primary for the Vermont governor’s race and is set to challenge incumbent GOP Gov. Phil Scott in November. Follow Scott on Facebook and Twitter.

Florida declares a State of Emergency after a devastating toxic algae bloom plagues the Gulf Coast, killing tourism and wildlife

Red Tide along Florida's Gulf Coast is killing marine life and hurting businesses

The toxic algae bloom also creates a stench that means people avoid the beach

State of Emergency provides significant funding and resources to the communities experiencing Red Tide

$100,000 will be available for scientists to help with clean-up efforts

$500,000 helps local communities and businesses struggling with lost income

By Associated Press Published: 15:26 EDT, 14 August 2018 | Updated: 18:50 EDT, 14 August 2018

A toxic algae bloom known as Red Tide has overrun Florida's southern Gulf Coast this summer, devastating sea life and driving people from the water. Red tide - a naturally occurring toxic algae bloom that can be harmful to people with respiratory problems- has spread throughout the Gulf of Mexico, drifting in the water since it began in October. It also means there are tons of dead fish leaving a foul smelling odor. That has resulted in empty beaches, empty roads and empty restaurants. 'I've never seen it this bad,' said 31-year-old Heather Lamb of Venice. She's a hairdresser and makeup artist who styled herself as a dead mermaid and posted photos on social media to raise awareness of the problem. 'I feel like it cleanses your soul to go to the beach. For me to not be able to go, it's painful. I think a lot of people take for granted when they live in Florida. Some people save their paychecks for a whole year to come here.' Stretching about 150 miles, it's affecting communities from Naples in the south to Anna Maria Island in the north and appears to be moving northward. The algae turns the water toxic for marine life, and in recent weeks beachgoers have been horrified to find turtles, large fish like goliath grouper and even manatees wash up dead. In late July, a 26-foot long whale shark washed ashore on Sanibel Island, which is known for its pristine beaches. In places like Longboat Key, more than five tons of dead fish have been removed from beaches. This week, nine dead dolphins were found in Sarasota County, and marine biologists are investigating whether the deaths are related to red tide. The Florida Wildlife Research Institute says the number of dead and stranded sea turtles is nearly three times higher than average. More than 450 stranded and dead sea turtles have been recovered in four affected counties this year, and the institute estimates that 250 to 300 died from red tide poisoning. In Bradenton Beach, the stench was impossible to ignore. 'I can't describe the smell. It's like unbelievable. It makes you throw up,' said Holmes Beach resident Alex Kuizon, who has lived in the area for decades. He held a handkerchief over his mouth and nose while talking to a reporter. Just a few feet away, hundreds of dead fish clogged a boat ramp. On Monday, Gov. Rick Scott declared a state of emergency in seven counties along Florida's Gulf that have been overrun by the pungent bloom. 'As Southwest Florida and the Tampa Bay area continues to feel the devastating impacts of red tide, we will continue taking an aggressive approach by using all available resources to help our local communities,' Scott, a Republican, said in a statement. 'I am issuing an emergency declaration to provide significant funding and resources to the communities experiencing red tide so we can combat its terrible impacts.' He also ordered $1.5 million to be spent on various clean-up efforts and to help business impacted by dwindling tourists. Red tide is a natural occurrence that happens due to the presence of nutrients in the water and an organism called a dinoflagellate. 'Off the west coast of Florida, we have persistent red tide events that occur with some frequency,' said Steve Murawski, a marine science professor at the University of South Florida. Another algae problem plagues Florida's waterways, Murawski said, and confused and frustrated people are conflating the two. Blue-green algae affect freshwater, and Murawski said it has a direct correlation to agricultural and urban runoff. Heavy May rains caused Lake Okeechobee to discharge water containing blue-green algae into rivers and canals. The bright green sludge oozed onto docks, dams and rivers. 'Are they in fact related? That's kind of an open scientific question,' Murawski said. 'If you've got large nitrogen discharges, you could actually be fueling both the harmful algal bloom and the discharge of the blue-green algae. It's an area of very active concern.' Why this year's red tide is so intense is up for debate. Some researchers have noticed aggressive blooms after hurricanes; Irma swept past Florida's Gulf Coast in the summer of 2017 and a period of red tide affected Florida after the powerful 2004-2005 hurricanes. Regardless, those who live, work and play in the area are disturbed. 'We get a lot of Europeans this time of year and even people from the Midwest are still coming down because school hasn't started yet. They come here and they're like, 'Oh my goodness, what's this smell? It's awful,'' said Anthony Cucci, the manager of the Mar Vista restaurant on Longboat Key. As he spoke, a worker cleared away dead fish littering the small beach near the patio. For Charlotte County resident Magdalena Rossip, Saturday was her birthday, when she usually goes to the beach to celebrate. This year, she didn't. It was too depressing - her family's pressure washing business has dried up because no one wants to use their boat or patio. 'It's catastrophic,' the 35-year-old said. Although this isn't peak tourist season for the Gulf Coast - that's in winter - red tide is affecting tourism. 'I'm pretty surprised, because I usually meet my family down here once a year and it's usually completely different. The water's usually much clearer than it has been today,' said Brandon Mullis of Tampa, building a sandcastle with his daughter on Bradenton Beach. The smell wasn't bad on that part of the beach, but he said he wasn't planning to stay long - and would choose his resort pool over swimming in the Gulf.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott declares state of emergency over red tide

By - Associated Press - Monday, August 13, 2018

Gov. Rick Scott is declaring a state of emergency across parts of Florida that have been overrun by a toxic algae bloom that is killing fish and emptying beaches and restaurants. Scott is ordering $100,000 for additional scientists to help with clean-up efforts and another $500,000 to help local communities and businesses struggling with lost income as tourists flee. The governor also directed another $900,000 in grants to help Lee County’s clean-up efforts. Scott says the state will deploy all state resources to the seven counties impacted and do everything possible to help business recover. The pungent algae bloom began in October and stretches about 150 miles from Naples in the south to Anna Maria Island in the north and appears to be moving northward.

Saudi Arabia calls Canada one of the world's worst oppressors of women in bizarre crusade

Alex Lockie Aug. 13, 2018, 7:47 AM

Saudi media this past week unleashed a bizarre smear campaign targeting Canada's treatment of women. It highlighted, for example, the disappearance of 1,000 indigenous women over the past hundred years, without mentioning steps taken in recent years to mitigate the problem. In Canada, women have full legal rights to seek employment, access abortion services, and express their gender identities as they see fit. Women in Saudi Arabia have to get permission to marry, get a job, or travel abroad. A diplomatic feud between the two countries started recently when the Canadian Foreign Ministry called for the release of women's-rights activists detained in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia and Canada's diplomatic feud over human rights took a bizarre turn recently when the kingdom unleashed a smear campaign targeting Canada's treatment of women. After the Canadian Foreign Ministry called for the immediate release of women's-rights activists detained in Saudi Arabia, the kingdom unleashed an attack that cut nearly every dimension of bilateral ties between the two countries. Fahad Alshlimi, a Kuwaiti commentator, said on Saudi TV last week that Canada had one of the world's worst records for its treatment of women, according to a translation from the National Post. Other commentators on Saudi media pointed to the disappearance of about 1,000 indigenous Canadian women over the past hundred or so years. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau campaigned on investigating these disappearances, and he has since launched an investigation with $41 million budget to find answers. The Saudi media blitz also bashed other negative elements of Canada's history, including its treatment of indigenous people, without mentioning steps taken in recent generations by Canada's government to acknowledge and mitigate the problem. Women's rights in Canada versus Saudi Arabia In Canada, women have full legal rights to seek employment, access family planning and abortion services, and express their gender identities and sexual preferences as they see fit. Women in parts of Canada started to get voting rights about 100 years ago. Saudi Arabia held its first round of elections that allowed women to run as candidates and vote last year. Saudi Arabia, an absolute monarchy ruled by its interpretation of Islamic law, also considers all women to be under the guardianship of men. Women in the kingdom must get permission to marry, get an advanced education or a job, or to travel abroad. In Saudi courts, a woman's testimony generally counts as half of a man's, the US State Department wrote in its annual report on Saudi human rights. Women's rights in Saudi Arabia have gradually improved over the past few years, but they remain a hot issue as the kingdom has detained many activists, often on the grounds of what it calls anti-government activity. Non-heterosexual Saudi women also face persecution, as the country has criminalized homosexuality and enforces a death penalty on it. Why Saudi media would go there While it may seem a bizarre choice for a country with laws like Saud Arabia's to go after Canada's record on women's rights, one should view it in the context of Saudi media. The media in Saudi Arabia is either owned by or exists in tight alignment with the monarchy and therefore rarely covers negative stories for the crown. Citizens of the kingdom have their access to outside media censored and now have been largely banned from education in Canada as a result of the spat. İyad el-Baghdadi, a human-rights activist who lives as a political refugee in Norway, called Saudi's attacks on Canada a "new normal within the Arab world since the failing of the Arab Spring," the protest movement fueled by social media that swept the Arab world in 2011. "You're just being made aware of it now because the sewers have overflown," Baghdadi tweeted.

The U.N. Is Behind Alex Jones Censorship

By Jason Charles on 8/15/2018 (yesterday) Globalism/N.W.O

Alex Jones has become too influential, and now the jackals are coming after him as evidenced by the total corporate sabotage of his online platforms this last week. Ask, what makes these giant tech companies think they can simply sabotage a media outfit with the kind of grass-roots support Infowars has without consequence? That is the question everyone should be asking? The answer to that question is companies with U.N. backing, that’s who. U.N. Election Meddling The Infowars media organization is pro-Trump, as is Fox news, both are perceived as being Republican in bias. Just like CNN, MSNBC, ABC, etc are progressive companies, and thus Democrat in bias. As press organizations their bias is a given. What isn’t a given is when corporations act with a political bias to sabotage a competing media organization. A media organization that has had a measurable effect on the Trump campaign win. This targeting by out and proud, liberal companies, like Facebook, Spotify, Apple, Google, Youtube, and Twitter should be viewed in no less terms than election meddling, seeing it attempts to destroy one of two major right leaning media outfits in the country. The phenomena of corporations revealing publicly their “political stripes” when traditionally they always have stayed neutral is a very new development in terms of geopolitics. People are simply not sophisticated enough, and missing the larger agenda here. I have written in the past on this topic of corporations being politized during the Obama administration seeing it all started under him. I believe this to be a U.N. plan that is working to homogenize secular ethics enforcement among multinational companies. These companies are being given favored international status because of the adherence to U.N. objectives. You can read about such goals on U.N. websites like the U.N. Global Compact website that has thousands of companies participating as signatories to their goals. These goals revolve around common liberal causes like social justice, woman’s health i.e. abortion on demand, LGTBQ “rights,” sustainability i.e. carbon tax, etc. As such when you sign onto the U.N. Global Business Compact you pledge to support these goals in your organization. It states the importance the roles business plays right on the opening paragraph of the website, “The SDGs Explained for Business In September 2015, all 193 Member States of the United Nations adopted a plan for achieving a better future for all — laying out a path over the next 15 years to end extreme poverty, fight inequality and injustice, and protect our planet. At the heart of “Agenda 2030” are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which clearly define the world we want — applying to all nations and leaving no one behind. The new Global Goals result from a process that has been more inclusive than ever, with Governments involving business, civil society and citizens from the outset. We are all in agreement on where the world needs to go. Fulfilling these ambitions will take an unprecedented effort by all sectors in society — and business has to play a very important role in the process.” (UN Global Compact Website) Notice the operating words in this statement are “…world we want”, and “We are all in agreement.” Signifying that U.N. objectives are higher objectives than nationalist objectives and thus nations must submit. These goals are based on the U.N. Declaration of Human Rights, in which they outline their belief that gay marriage, abortion on demand, anti-gun laws, LGBTQ equality are all basic human rights among other things. The premise is right-wing organizations, media, politicians and personalities need to be silenced because they do not recognize these U.N. expanded definitions of rights. Martyred for the Cause Alex Jones is the first martyr in this U.N. war on traditionalism, nationalism and conservatism that is being executed by both governments and corporations at the behest of the U.N. world wide. While their Global Compact website does not list companies like Facebook, Google, Youtube and Twitter publically as signatories. These companies are in essence secret signatories seeing their CEO’s have attended the organizations meetings and conferences and have been extremely vocal in their social justice agendas in the states. “Business leaders discussed different strategies for advancing the new development agenda, before moving to a high-level gathering including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and other top business executives. The UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon delivered an opening address, where he said: “I’m counting on the private sector. Now is the time to mobilise the global business community as never before. The case is clear. Realizing the Sustainable Development Goals will improve the environment for doing business and building markets.” (United Nations Development Program) So in my assessment the U.N. is utilizing partner multinational corporations to thwart nationalist politicians and media personalities in the United States and abroad. The intent is to oust Donald Trump by destroying his media partners platforms and reach. This is why all of these companies have changed their logos to rainbow colors during pride month, and champion sustainability, LGBTQ, antigun campaigns, and women’s rights ad nausea. It is because they have signed up to be enforcers of the U.N. human rights campaign and Global Compact. This is why it is so universally organized across very different corporations the world over. Only the U.N. has the power and clout to organize such campaigns. To view this censorship of Alex Jones in terms of local, partisan politics is failing to see the larger picture. We need to talk about all of these agenda as having originated from the U.N., and are without question a U.N. plot to undermine and thwart the support of President Trump in the United States as well as our Bill of Rights. Corporate Enforcers of Hate Speech Facebook cited hate speech as the reason why they Apple, Spotify, and now Twitter has banned Infowars from their platform. Here is their official reason why they removed the pages, “…last week, we removed four videos on four Facebook Pages for violating our hate speech and bullying policies. These pages were the Alex Jones Channel Page, the Alex Jones Page, the InfoWars Page and the Infowars Nightly News Page. In addition, one of the admins of these Pages – Alex Jones – was placed in a 30-day block for his role in posting violating content to these Pages. Since then, more content from the same Pages has been reported to us — upon review, we have taken it down for glorifying violence, which violates our graphic violence policy, and using dehumanizing language to describe people who are transgender, Muslims and immigrants, which violates our hate speech policies.” (Facebook Newroom) The videos cited are videos that reportedly had Alex Jones cursing transgenders and sexual deviants to hell. There, you now have the reason he was banned, because Facebook and other platforms are enforcing policies and supposed rights violations laid out by the U.N. on American soil. Remember, when they are talking about “community standards” that is code for U.N. standards in the Global Business Compact. Long story short the U.N. is using corporations to enforce their ideology and “human rights” goals all across the world. Instead of enforcing the Constitution of the United States and Bill of Rights that lists Freedom of Press and Speech as an untouchable right of the people. They are in essence global fascists working to supersede the rights of their host nations. This should be of a major concern to everyone, and no one that I know of is looking at this in such context outside of my own writings. Reference: How Liberty Activists Inadvertently Broke Facebook Conclusion This is exactly the Mark of the Beast scenario we were warned about in Revelation. The Beast system can black-hole anyone from buying or selling simply by delisting them from their platforms. The goal is not to protect people from hearing Alex Jones' rant about sodomites and reprobates; the goal is to financially cripple a media organization through the use of U.N. enforced hate speech laws. Hate speech laws are becoming a tool to destroy western culture value systems. I believe this act by all of these tech platforms to delist Alex Jones simultaneously will trigger more Congressional hearings. Something I think is welcomed by the establishment, seeing they would like to regulate these companies like a utility. You can read my article “Something Stinks About the Facebook Fallout” where I go into detail why I believe this to be so. It would be like Alexander Graham Bell saying that only Democrats can use his phones to call people for political support 100 years ago. Obviously, companies can’t determine how these tools are used in terms of free speech. They are made as such and thus must defend free speech no matter the cost. They have become the public commons, and regulation needs to be in line with the Constitution not the Human Rights initiatives of the U.N. The problem with attacking Alex Jones on the basis of fake news is anyone who has listened to him for any length of time knows he documents everything he speaks about by simply reading the mainstream news daily on his radio broadcast. All of the Infowars reporters simply follow the daily news cycle. The only thing they do is connect the dots with commentary for their listening audience. CNN and MSNBC have had to retract hundreds of articles, but Infowars never has because they read mainstream news reports only. Also, the censorship being levied at Infowars just further demonstrates that the narrative people have come to believe about Alex Jones being a con-intel plant of the establishment is completely flawed. I hear a lot of former Alex Jones fans saying “I don’t like him, but I will defend his right to free speech.” How about apologize for trafficking unsubstantiated nonsense about him for years in this regards instead of copping out with such statements. Own up to your mistakes. I know Alex is a bombastic personality, who is hard to work with and very protective of his media organization he created, but that is why he is successful. If you don’t like him create your own media outfit. The liberty movement is full of jealous whiners looking to co-opt Alex Jones’ platform for their own pet perspectives. Realizing that they couldn’t, they made themselves enemies of Infowars, and invented lies about his connections and intentions. Such children.  It is time people wise up to how the U.N. is using these corporations to destroy the Free Press, Free Speech, Gun Rights, Privacy Rights and Right to Life. Alex Jones has been a friend of Liberty for many years and if we don’t support him now then you might as well as put on a blue helmet and work hand and glove with the U.N. to destroy the Constitution and national sovereignty because that is exactly what is at stake with the censorship of Infowars.

He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him. Proverbs 18:17

Why Is The Media Diverting Your Attention From The 35 Known Jihadi Camps In America?

Aug 15, 2018 Read More Articles by Bradlee Dean

It was reported last week on The Sons of Liberty Media by Mac Slavo: “Eleven children were rescued from a compound in New Mexico, which was being run by armed Muslim extremists. Authorities found all the children living in deplorable living conditions after raiding the property looking specifically for a three-year-old boy. It is also being reported that they were training children up for school shootings.” A Muslim military camp heavily armed in New Mexico? Training up children to go into schools and shoot them up? Yes, you heard that right, in America (Deuteronomy 28:50). They are bringing their culture with them into this country. These Muslims are not looking for help. They are here to terrorize, and they are looking to conquer. But what are you being told by the media? You are being told that they are contributing to society. Really? Let’s take a look at Muslims from the east who are plundering countries that they are entering.

Denmark: 450% more crimes committed by Muslims then non-Muslims.

Germany: Muslim migrants committed 142, 500 crimes in 6 months. This is 780 every day.

Sweden: 480,000 sexual assaults in one year. 77% of all rapes by less than 2% Muslim.

England & Wales: Over 56% of Syrian refugees committed severe crimes in less than 1 year etc.

Belgium: 35% of prison population is Muslim who make up only 6% of the population.

UK: Muslims fill 44% of high security prisons, out of a 5% population.

USA: 91.4 % Muslim refugees are on food stamps, 68.3 % on cash welfare.

Muslim migration has doubled in the decade since 9/11 and 60% of migrants to America favor Sharia law (Deuteronomy 28:15-68). All that one has to do is look to Germany, Sweden, France, or to the U.K. to see what is happening concerning the Muslim invasions and overthrow of these countries. Again, these Muslims are not coming into to these countries to assimilate, they are there to conquer, and it is exactly what they are doing (Matthew 7:16). This is happening incrementally and Scripturally, it is called a siege. Do remember that this is happening with the help of the silent churches, the apathetic congregants that refuse to obey God, corrupt politicians, and the CIA-controlled media worldwide (Deuteronomy 28:43). “And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.” (Deuteronomy 28:63) Now, I have to say America, that while most of you are beating up on the Democrats (As if to suggest that there is any difference between them and the Republicans) as being a bunch of idiots, I would have you know that the idiots are those that let them do the things that they are unlawfully doing, and that on a daily basis (Psalm 94:20). They know the crimes that they are committing, so do not play their fools. Your representatives are the ones responsible for alluring these Muslims into America and all on the taxpayer’s dime. And it is the media that is using fear tactics by magnifying the crimes of ISIS and ISIL to paralyze you. [YouTube Video] To further prove all of this, let’s look to the 35 jihadi training camps right here in America that are all being ignored. [YouTube Video] While most are asleep (Matthew 13:25) and diverted, Americans are taking their time and energy to lavish praises upon the current president, who has done nothing in opposition to the immigration as to what is being highlighted here. In other words, the agenda goes forward regardless of who occupies the people’s White House.

The way Chelsea Clinton just justified the murder of unborn babies is SICK

Posted on August 15, 2018 in Abortion

(National Sentinel) Disgusting: The Left has always gone out of its way to justify abortion — the flat-out murder of an unborn baby — since Roe v. Wade in 1973, but former first daughter Chelsea Clinton just won the award for the most barbaric.

Abortion is great because it makes the country money.

As the Senate prepares to give its advice and consent to POTUS Donald Trump’s second Supreme Court nominee, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, pathetic Democrats are pulling out all the stops in their bid to block him from the high court because they believe that Roe v. Wade is in danger of being overturned (we can only hope). It won’t work because Republicans have the votes in the upper chamber to confirm Kavanaugh, but Democrats never pass up on an opportunity to ‘defend’ a woman’s ‘right’ to kill her unborn baby. At a “Rise Up for Roe” event on Saturday, Clinton promoted the ‘economic advantages’ of abortion: “Whether you fundamentally care about reproductive rights and access right, because these are not the same thing, if you care about social justice or economic justice, agency – you have to care about this. It is not a disconnected fact – to address this t-shirt of 1973 – that American women entering the labor force from 1973 to 2009 added three and a half trillion dollars to our economy. Right?” Not only is this one of the sickest reasons any Democrat has come up with to justify the murder of unborn human beings, how did she even arrive at this figure? CNS News reported: Abortion has been an important economic stimulus ever since it was legalized by the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision, Chelsea Clinton claimed at a “Rise Up for Roe” event on Saturday. At the event promoting opposition to President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, the former First Daughter of President Bill Clinton credited legalized abortion for helping add trillions of dollars to the U.S economy because women who had abortions were more inclined to enter the labor force: “Whether you fundamentally care about reproductive rights and access right, because these are not the same thing, if you care about social justice or economic justice, agency – you have to care about this. “It is not a disconnected fact – to address this t-shirt of 1973 – that American women entering the labor force from 1973 to 2009 added three and a half trillion dollars to our economy. Right? “The net, new entrance of women – that is not disconnected from the fact that Roe became the law of the land in January of 1973.” Thus, no matter what other things Americans may care about, everyone should appreciate the economic value of legalized abortion, Clinton said… What a great political thinker Chelsea is! We can hardly wait until she becomes president!

Profiles In Treason: James Comey - This Pathetic, Treasonous Coward Weaponized The FBI To Assist In The Destruction Of The Rule Of Law In America

- The FBI Under Comey Protected, Aided And Abetted Islamic Terrorists In America

By John Velisek - Retired, US Navy - All News Pipeline August 14, 2018

(ANP: This is part 3 of a series on 'enemies of America within' by US Patriot John Velisek. Part 1 on John Brennan can be found here while part 2 on James Clapper can be found here.) The Federal Bureau of Investigation under James Comey was weaponized to assist in the destruction of the rule of law. He has placed American lives at risk because of his willingness to overlook the Muslim danger our nation is in. His incompetence has been in full view. The picture that the media presents of an Upright Boy Scout in constant search of the truth is a laughable affront to all patriotic American citizens. Comey ignored the counter-terrorism terms, concepts, and findings that would be a bulwark against the terrorism in our country. Groups such as MOA (Jamaat al-Furqa) have been consistently ignored as terrorist training camps that have been created here in the United States. Investigations have shown that MOA has been the cause of many murders, one disappearance three firebombings. MOA also calls for jihad against those it considers hostile to Islam including the federal government. Along with the Muslim sympathizers in the Obama administration all information and presentations concerning Muslims and Islamic Jihad were purged from the FBI training manuals by Robert Mueller, then the head of the FBI with the willing help of James Comey. This was done because Muslim groups like CAIR, ISNA, and the SPLC found the truthful information to be offensive. These groups continue to this day to be working with the Deep State to foment anarchy, even going as far as to form an alliance with ANTIFA and other radical groups to create the chaos that they so desperately need to overcome the culture and way of life that has served our country so well for all these years. Obama had appointed numerous Muslim Brotherhood acolytes to his administration, and Comey dutifully administered the purge of all information of the Muslim Brotherhood and any link that associated the MB with terrorism. The FBI even went so far as to assist a shooter in Garland Texas. In 2015, two terrorists attempted to kill attendees at a “Draw Mohammed” contest in Garand Texas hosted by Pamela Geller. The FBI has an undercover agent working with these two terrorists and knew what was to happen. AT the location during the attack, he drove off after photographing the act of terrorism. Only a local heroic security guard, after being wounded, stopped the attack by killing the terrorists. The FBI did nothing, did not intervene, and did not warn the attendees of the event. The FBI never explained why the attack was allowed to happen, and it has never been explained that, if the attack had succeeded, and Pamela Geller and the attendees had been killed or seriously wounded, how would the FBI explain allowing it to happen. The initial purging took place under than none other the Robert Mueller under the instructions of Obama, it is very clear that Comey continued with the Mueller “Guiding Principles” so that friendly contact with terrorists would continue. And even though the DOJ banned the FBI from associating with CAIR, field offices in Los Angeles, Chicago, New Haven and Philadelphia continued to maintain friendly relations with CAIR. The FBI has been extremely active in recruiting agents from the Muslim community even going so far as to placing recruitment ads in extremist publications. This lead to the infiltration of the FBI by these same Muslim extremists and a Los Angeles field agent tipping off a Muslim suspect under investigation. It also led to terrorist acts that were swept under the rug. Ahmad Kan Rahami set off bombs in Manhattan even though his father had contacted the FBI two years earlier and told them he feared he was a terrorist. Rahami had made trips to Pakistan and Qatar to receive training but under James Comey, these trips did not matter and Ahmad Kan Rahami was cleared. Omar Mateen murdered 49 people and injured 53 in the Pulse nightclub massacre. Mateen was investigated by the FBI twice and was cleared in both because the FBI decided that Mateen was acting in reaction to the comments made by some coworkers about his Muslim faith. Mateen had traveled to Saudi Arabia in 2011 and even this did not raise a red flag to the FBI. The FBI further did not investigate the mosque Mateen attended, knowing it may have been a terror-supporting entity. In short, James Comey was not the naive righteous Boy Scout that he purports to be. Rather, during his years at the FBI, Comey made it far easier for Islamic radicals to create the situation that our country finds itself in now. Islamic terrorists have infiltrated our country and even the prior administration. Comey did nothing to put an end to this danger and fundamentally went along with the anarchy and chaos that grips our country.

Democrats Plotting To Take Over Entire Internet As Big Tech's All-Out War Upon Independent Media Claims Another Website

- Deep State Mouthpiece Claiming President Trump Is 'Fake News' And A 'Troll Bot' Proves They're All Living In An Alternative Reality

By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die August 15, 2018

In this alarming new story over at Armstrong Economics that Zero Hedge republished on Monday, they report that Senate Democrats led by Virginia Senator Mark Warner are circulating a proposal for EU-style censorship of the internet here in America based upon their claim that 'Russian hacking' will completely take over the internet and social media to influence US elections. Titled "Regulation of Social Media and Technology Firms", Armstrong reports the entire regulation is based upon the 'blame the Russians for everything' delusion and claims made by Democrats and the MSM that Russians are 'deliberately spreading disinformation'. "Warner’s paper suggests outlawing companies who fail to label bots and impose Draconian criminal penalties and huge fines." Reporting that once drawn up if passed and signed into law, this bill would effectively end all of our freedoms here in America as government would have full control over the information that is published online and if a story is published that points out massive Hillary Clinton, deep state or government corruption, it can be taken down, with the rats attributing it to 'Russian bots', we remind you that according to one 'Deep State' bot project called Bot Sentinel, even President Donald Trump himself is considered to be one of the biggest purveyor's of 'fake news' on Twitter and the internet. And as we see detailed below, another independent media outlet has been taken offline with 'The Fellowship Of The Minds' website deleted completely in just the latest 'big tech' hit against alternative news outlets that go against the 'official narrative' being peddled by the enemies of the American people, the mainstream media. With Infowars now also offline due to massive cyber attacks according to this Alex Jones tweet and a visit to their website took us to their cloudfare page, the clock is clearly ticking.

Democrats Plotting To Take Over Entire Internet As Big Tech's All-Out War Upon Independent Media Claims Another Website

In this alarming new story over at Armstrong Economics that Zero Hedge republished on Monday, they report that Senate Democrats led by Virginia Senator Mark Warner are circulating a proposal for EU-style censorship of the internet here in America based upon their claim that 'Russian hacking' will completely take over the internet and social media to influence US elections. Titled "Regulation of Social Media and Technology Firms", Armstrong reports the entire regulation is based upon the 'blame the Russians for everything' delusion and claims made by Democrats and the MSM that Russians are 'deliberately spreading disinformation'.

With Infowars now also offline due to massive cyber attacks according to this Alex Jones tweet and a visit to their website took us to their cloudfare page, the clock is clearly ticking. fake_news_accounts_1.png According to Bot Sentinel, the biggest fake news accounts on Twitter include: President Donald J. Trump himself, Donald Trump Jr., Brad Parscale, (President Trump 2020 Campaign Manager), former US Secret Service Agent Don Bongino, US Senator Devin Nunez, Tucker Carlson, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity from Fox News, both Tom Fitton and Judicial Watch, Kellyanne Conway, President Trump's press Secretary Sarah Sanders and the Drudge Report among others. So, can all of those people and groups possibly be pushers of 'fake news', including President Trump and US Senator Devin Nunez? If you've noticed that all of those mentioned are publishing massive deep state corruption stories and information, you're not the only one. The absolute desperation of Hillary Clinton crony Senator Warner and the entire CORRUPTED faction of the 'deep state apparatus' to ban the free flow of information is MORE proof that something HUGE may be about to break! Also quite interesting, according to the 'trending topics' over at Bot Sentinel, the top hashtags tweeted by what they call 'trollbot' accounts include: #MAGA #QAnon #WalkAway #Trump and #FakeNews among other topics. Also listing 'Peter Strzok', 'President Trump' and 'Strzok Fired' as among the top two word phrases being tossed about by 'Russian trolls' on Twitter, does anybody else see something horribly wrong with the corrupted deep state apparatus, the Democratic party and the entire mainstream media apparatus labeling so many President Trump supporters, Conservatives and 'truth seekers' as 'fake news' and 'Russian troll bots'? What is that absolutely and completely corrupt faction of the deep state so incredibly afraid of? If 'hanging by the neck until dead' is still the punishment for treason against America, that very well may be our answer. With ANP ourselves slandered in a story put out by the Washington Post soon after the election, with ANP being called agents of Russian propaganda (this despite the fact that Susan and I are both red-blooded Americans with my distant relatives having fought against tyrants from the UK in the Revolutionary War proving how long my family has been here), Armstrong's story warns we may soon witness 'the revenge of Hillary and the deep state'. This extended excerpt from their extremely important story: Senate Democrats are circulating a proposal based upon their claim of Russian hacking that will completely takeover the internet and social media which has been leaked. They are adopting the EU approach to silence political criticism. They claim it is necessary, just as the EU argued, that they must act to prevent Russian hackers and “restore” the people’s trust in our institutions, democracy, and the free press. They are proposing comprehensive GDPR-like data protection legislation following the EU. The entire regulation is based upon Russians and it claims they are deliberately spreading disinformation. To justify this act, they also point back to the old Soviet Union stating they attempted to spread “fake news” denigrating Martin Luther King. Despite the Democrats and their campaign to start World War III over Hillary’s emails, of which nobody denied were fake just hacked, their proposal is effectively to shut down anything they can call “hate speech” targeted at them, not Trump of course. Warner’s paper suggests outlawing companies who fail to label bots and impose Draconian criminal penalties and huge fines. Effectively, they want people to pay for everything. The Democrats want full disclosure regarding ANY online political speech. They even want the Federal Trade Commission to have unbelievable power and require all companies’ algorithms to be audited by the feds as if they even have qualified staff to conduct such audits. On top of that, they have proposed tech platforms above a certain size MUST turn over internal data and processes to “independent public interest researchers” so they can identify potential “public health/addiction effects, anticompetitive behavior, radicalization,” scams, “user propagated misinformation,” and harassment—data that could be used to “inform actions by regulators or Congress.” This is a complete violation of both the First and Fourth Amendment. They want the same mechanisms in Europe where anyone can complain and demand the content be taken down or subject to fines that can confiscate all assets. Sounds to me like retirement is on the horizon. This bill would effectively end all our freedoms. This is what is wrong with career politicians. They look at the world ONLY through the eyes of government – NEVER the people. What we are facing is the Revenge of Hillaryloss of Free Speech and this constant push to reestablish the Cold War and move to World War III. The Democrats have become the party of hate and they have been the party that always starts wars with the only exception being Iran and that was Dick Cheney & Donald Rumsfeld. As all of America witnessed with the recent attacks all-out and well-coordinated attacks upon Alex Jones and Infowars, independent media is constantly under full scale attack with the latest victim of the all-out censorship machine being the website 'Fellowship Of The Minds', a website that Steve Quayle linked to quite frequently for their cutting edge stories exposing deep state and US government corruption. Well if you go to 'Fellowship of the Minds' now, you'll find it no longer online. 'First they came for Alex Jones and Infowars' Susan Duclos warned on ANP on August 6th. Well Moonbattery reports today that WordPress has silenced Fellowship of the Minds, and they knew that it was coming and likely just a matter of time.  From this new story over at Moonbattery we're offered a frightening look at a very real, potential future for the United States, one that features the boots of 'big tech', Rachel Maddow, Colin Kapaernick and the absolutely deeply corrupt Democratic political establishment stamping upon our human faces, forever. As we all knew at the time, the silencing of Infowars was only the beginning. Now WordPress has joined the leftist lynchmob, along with Facebook, Google, Apple, Disqus, and the rest of the Silicon Valley giants who have taken upon themselves responsibility for deciding what we should read. If you try to visit the right-leaning blog Fellowship of the Minds today, you will find a WordPress page announcing that the blog has been “archived or suspended in accordance with our Terms of Service.” The site’s author Dr. Eowyn has not yet been banned from Facebook, where he expresses bewilderment over specifically which thought crime got his blog killed. He may never know. As noted previously, under tyrannical systems, it is not specifically what you say that is a crime; it is your dissident attitude that is punished. It looks like WordPress did the same thing at the same time to Saboteur 365. Some coincidence. It doesn’t matter whether you are a fan of these sites. If your outlook is anywhere right of center, they will get around to your favorite sites in time. The tech sector is homogeneously far left. Those who express sentiments inconsistent with hardcore moonbattery — even privately, like Brendan Eich — are driven out. This gives it power that authoritarians in Washington, constrained by the Constitution and by the election of conservatives, can only dream about. Imagine a world of pure moonbattery, where everything you look at evokes nausea and horror. Every politician is Barack Obama. Every newscaster in Rachel Maddow. Every athlete is Colin Kaepernick. Every musician is Donald Glover. Every actor is Ezra Miller. The fundamental liberties of free speech, self-defense, and even property ownership inevitably vanish as we are inundated, looted, and eventually enslaved by a never-ending tsunami from the Third World. Each of us will think we are the only one who doesn’t like it. That’s the world the Internet will impose if the decentralized totalitarianism encroaching from Silicon Valley does not encounter successful pushback. With President Donald Trump himself, Conservatives and Christian Americans and 'conspiracy theorists' now under constant and substained attack as is perfectly exemplified with the take down of the website Fellowship of the Minds, a website that had been online for many, many years and was also singled out by the website 'Prop or Not', a website quoted by the Washington Post, as pushing Russian propaganda for having the courage to go after Hillary Clinton and the #ClintonCrimeFamily, we may be running out of time. With leftists in the street quite literally calling for the head of President Trump, with many claiming they'd like to do to him what the people of Libya did to Muammar Gaddafi, one likely scenario that could immediately change the entire game would be the deep state using an 'MK-Ultra-cated' shooter to pull off an assassination of President Trump. Using such an event to not only get rid of their 'kryptonite' but as an event to attempt to ban the 2nd Amendment as well, such a two-birds-with-one-stone event is exactly the deep states' MO. With the President of the United States of America himself being called 'fake news' by Bot Sentinel showing us that Hillary Clinton, the Democratic party and the globalists are living in some sort of 'alternative reality', the clock is quickly ticking and could be pushing us towards 'an event' that will change the course of history. And whether or not Americans finally get 'true history' or some other kind of santized version covering up total deep state lies and corruption, the next few days, weeks and months will likely tell. And with the all-out attacks also happening upon ANP and our already meager finances gutted by over 80% since the 2016 election when we were slandered by the Washington Post using the 'prop or not' report, we can truly say that ANP wouldn't be here online without you, ANP readers. With even Infowars currently offline due to massive DDOS attacks according to this new tweet from Alex Jones, Susan and I at ANP are truly humbled to still have the opportunity to be with you, however much longer that may be.

Russia’s LASER CANNON: US ‘concerned’ over Kremlin’s plans to ‘WIPE OUT SATELLITES’

THE US has branded Russia’s plans to build a laser cannon capable of wiping out international satellites as EVIL.

By Sean Martin

PUBLISHED: 14:40, Tue, Aug 14, 2018 | UPDATED: 17:37, Tue, Aug 14, 2018

A Kremlin-backed company is working on technology which they say will allow them to essentially vaporise defunct satellites and remove them from the Earth’s orbit. Researchers at the Scientific and Industrial Corporation ‘Precision Instrument Systems’ (NPK SPP), a subsidiary of Russia’s space agency Roscosmos, have drafted a proposal and submitted to the Russian Academy of Sciences. The proposal details how the company plans to create “an optic detection system which includes a solid-state laser and a transmit/receive adaptive optical system.” The process of wiping out space debris will rely on something known as “laser ablation”, which will see it use heat energy to slowly evaporate objects. It is believed that construction of a three metre wide telescope which will act as a basis for the laser cannon is already underway. However, the US believes that the laser will not just be used to destroy space junk and that the cannon and detection system will be used to destroy and spy on international satellites. Yleem Poblete, US Assistant Secretary of State for Arms Control, Verification and Compliance, told the United Nation’s Conference on Disarmament in Geneva – which has been meeting to discuss a new treaty to prevent an arms race in outer space – that the US has deep concern over Russia’s plans. Speaking about Russia’s attempts to destroy satellites in space with lasers and putting a "space apparatus inspector”, Ms Poblete describes the eastern European country’s capabilities as “disturbing given the recent pattern of Russian malign behaviour”. She added: "To the United States this is yet further proof that the Russian actions do not match their words.” However, Russia remains adamant the laser will be used for space debris, claiming that in a few centuries, space junk could clog up Earth’s orbit so much that it could make launches impossible. There is now believed to be an astonishing 170 million pieces of junk floating in Earth’s upper atmosphere, but only 22,000 are being tracked. Some 7,000 tonnes of space junk circle our planet, as defunct satellites, junk from rockets and other metals and rocks build up close to Earth. Technologies such as mobile phones, television, GPS and weather related services rely on satellites, so a cataclysmic series of crashes could pose a threat to our already over-reliance for satellites. Space debris can be detrimental to space travel and as Earth’s low orbit continues to become more congested, and even NASA has warned of its perils. Nicholas Johnson, the chief scientist for Orbital Debris, said: “Any of these debris has the potential for seriously disrupting or terminating the mission of operational spacecraft in low Earth orbit.

Trump demands NASA stop wasting money on the international space station

By Ed Straker  May 21, 2018

President Trump plans to cut off funding to the International Space Station by 2025. Many people do not even know there is an International Space Station, because it is so rarely in the news, but it has cost more than $100 billion to build and support. What follows is a complete list of the most important discoveries of the space station over the past 20 years: The space station is another example of welfare for NASA. It provides nothing to America, using taxpayer money to provide welfare for scientists and engineers to be tremendously unproductive. NASA scientists see it differently. That's because they are addicted to space porn: any time an image or data comes from outer space, no matter how irrelevant, astronomers experience physical arousal. And unfortunately, they want us to pay for it. It's like paying for drug addicts. We are always told that the space station is doing important work. Look, rats float in space! Screws rotate clockwise twice as often as they rotate counterclockwise! Why do they do that? We need to fund another space station for 20 years to find out! The Trump administration in February proposed ending direct U.S. government support of the space station in 2025, prompting debate and discussion over whether commercial industry can make a business of building and operating orbiting research facilities staffed by astronauts. Why is that relevant? If it's economical, they will do it; and if it's uneconomical, it won't get done. What's wrong with that? Paul Martin, NASA's inspector general, told the Senate's Subcommittee on Space, Science, and Competitiveness on Wednesday that it is unlikely a commercial operator could wholly take over the space station's annual budget by 2025. Why is the amount that the government arbitrarily decides to spend a benchmark of how much private industry "must" spend? Why not let private industry spend as much or as little as it wishes? The space program is very much like global warming: we are told that it is extremely important and not allowed to examine or question its value to society. Another example: Did you know we just spent nearly a billion dollars to send a probe to Mars – to study earthquakes? Astronomers, always needing a fix of new space porn, will tell us how important it is, how learning about earthquakes on Mars will tell us about earthquakes on Earth. If we want to learn more about earthquakes on Earth, why not study them on Earth? President Trump is 100% right to terminate this bloated welfare office in the sky. It's only a pity that he has put the decision off to 2025.

Peter Strzok FIRED For Anti-Trump Texts

11:13 AM 08/13/2018

Saagar Enjeti | White House Correspondent

FBI agent Peter Strzok has been fired from the FBI for anti-Trump text messages he sent his mistress and colleague Lisa Page during the 2016 presidential election. “Late Friday afternoon, the Deputy Director of the FBI overruled the FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) and departed from established precedent by firing 21-year FBI veteran Peter Strzok,” his lawyer Aitan Goelman said in a statement.” Strzok’s text messages to Page revealed significant bias against then candidate Donald Trump and even one in which he pledged “we’ll stop” him from becoming president. Strzok played a central role in the investigation of the Trump 2016 campaign and its alleged ties to the Russian government along with the inquiry into Hillary Clinton’s private email server. Strzok was also briefly employed by special counsel Robert Mueller but was removed from the investigation because of his text messages and dalliance with a colleague. Trump has long questioned why Strzok continued to have a job within the FBI despite significant evidence of his wrongdoing.

Netanyahu: Israel Will Restore Quiet to Gaza Border Region ‘in Full’

avatar by Algemeiner Staff

Israel will restore total quiet its southern region near the border with the Gaza Strip, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed on Sunday. Speaking at a cabinet meeting in Jerusalem, following a week that saw an outburst of Hamas violence that nearly provoked an all-out war, Netanyahu said, “We are in the midst of a campaign against terror in Gaza. It entails an exchange of blows; it will not end in one strike.” He added, “Our demand is clear — a complete ceasefire. We will not suffice with less than this.”  “As of now, we have destroyed hundreds of Hamas military targets, and in each round the IDF exacts an additional heavy price,” Netanyahu stated. “I will not reveal here our operational plans, they are ready. Our objective is to restore the quiet to residents of the south and the area adjacent to the Gaza Strip; this goal will be achieved in full.” Last Wednesday and Thursday, terrorists in Gaza fired more than 180 rockets into southern Israel, targeting border area communities and the more distant city of Beersheba. A total of seven Israelis were wounded in the rocket attacks. The Israeli military bombed more than 150 Hamas targets in Gaza in retaliatory strikes. The round of escalation — the latest of several in recent months — was brought to an end by an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire.

Pennsylvania Couple Fined for Using Farm for Bible Study, Prayer Groups

Amanda Casanova | Religion Today Contributing Writer | Monday, August 13, 2018

A couple in Pennsylvania has been served a cease-and-desist order for using their 32-acre farm for private prayer groups. Scott and Terri Fetterolf received the order in 2017 after the Borough of Sewickley Heights in Pennsylvania claimed the farm “was being used improperly as a place of worship, a place of assembly and as a commercial venue and ‘special studio or school.’” The borough is charging $500 for each permit if the couple wants to continue hosting activities at their farm. The Fetterolf farm also has a yarn and wool shop and sells produce and flowers. The farm is also host to educational classes and private events. The couple has filed an appeal to the cease-and desist order and is waiting to hear a decision from the federal court. "I don't seek to sue my borough and cause taxes to go up, I'm just trying to live my life,” Terri told the local newspaper. The Fetterolfs are represented by the Independence Law Center, which is a branch of the Pennsylvania Family Institute. "What they're doing here is they are requiring them to make a request with the zoning board and get permission to hold a Bible study... require them to go through a public hearing to receive permission... and that kind of prior restraining is unconstitutional and infringing on their right to freely exercise their religion," said Jeremy Samek, senior counsel for the Independence Law Center. Samek says the couple cannot have Bible studies, church staff retreats or meeting or any church fundraisers at their farm. Attorneys for the borough say Bible studies could be labeled a class, which needs a permit. The farm is located in what’s been zoned a Historical-Rural Residential District.

Iran Sentences Man, Wife, Every Member of Church to Prison for Being Christian

Steve Warren 08-13-2018

Iran's Islamic regime has sentenced an Iranian couple to prison for practicing Christianity and also sentenced every member of their church to one year in prison. Article 18, an organization that supports Iranian Christians tweeted on Thursday that "A Christian couple have reported that a court in Boushehr has just sentenced them & 10 other Iranian Christians to one year in prison each for 'Propagating against the Islamic Republic in favor of Christianity.' This group of Christian converts was arrested on April 7, 2015." The Christian website Mohabat News reported last week that the Iranian couple was charged with "orientation toward the land of Christianity." Jeff King, the president of International Christian Concern, confirmed to The Jerusalem Post on Friday that each member of the congregation was also sentenced to a year in prison. "Getting information on the arrests of Christians is incredibly challenging given the heavily censored nature of Iran," King said. "But based on the cases we have been tracking, this is the first time this year that we've seen a jail sentence being given based on the charge of 'inclination to the land of Christianity.' This could be interpreted as a reference to Israel, the birthplace of Christianity and also a country that Iran has adopted a very aggressive stance towards." Christianity is a legally recognized religion in the Islamic Republic of Iran. According to the Iran 2017 International Religious Freedom Report prepared by the US State Department, the Iranian constitution allows Zoroastrians, Jews, and Christians (excluding converts from Islam) as the only recognized religious minorities permitted to worship and form religious societies "within the limits of the law." However, the report also notes "the penal code specifies the death sentence for proselytizing and attempts by non-Muslims to convert Muslims, as well as for moharebeh ("enmity against God") and sabb al-nabi ("insulting the prophet")." The state department report also adds "the government continued to harass, interrogate, and arrest Bahais, Christians (particularly converts), Sunni Muslims, and other religious minorities and regulated Christian religious practices closely to enforce a prohibition on proselytizing." According to Open Doors USA, there are 800,000 Christians currently living in the Islamic Republic. The Iranian government claims a smaller number of both churches and believers -- 600 churches and 300,000 to 370,000 Christians. Iran's total population is more than 80 million people. The Islamic Republic is listed as number 10 on Open Doors USA's list of the Top 50 Countries of Where It's Most Dangerous to Follow Jesus. "Iran does not discriminate against or persecute any recognized religious minority," Alireza Miryousefi, head of press for the Iranian Mission to the UN told the Post. "Including the large Christian community inside Iran, who are free to worship in the many churches that can be found across Iran." "In fact, as is the case with Iranian Jews, Iranian Christians are constitutionally guaranteed parliamentary representation," he continued. "Major cities such as Tehran and Isfahan are home to large Christian communities with centuries-old churches."

Russia deploys police to help UN patrol Israel-Syria border

General says officers setting up checkpoints, clearing landmines to facilitate return of international force to Golan

By TOI staff and AP 14 August 2018, 3:16 pm

The Russian military said its forces in Syria would help UN peacekeepers fully restore their patrols along the frontier between Syria and the Israeli Golan Heights. Lt. Gen. Sergei Kuralenko told reporters Tuesday that Russian military police have set up four checkpoints in the area and plan to bring their number to eight. He said the Russian military would secure the area and help clear mines left by jihadists to allow the peacekeepers to resume their operations. The UN peacekeeping force known as UNDOF first deployed along the frontier in 1974 to separate Syrian and Israeli forces after Israel captured the Golan Heights in the 1967 Six Day War, but was halted on the Syrian side of the border in 2014 amid the violence in the country’s civil war. Last month, Syrian government forces reached the Israeli border area after capturing territory from rebels and Islamic State fighters. It was the first time regime forces had taken up positions along the frontier since the uprising against President Bashar Assad swept through the country in 2011, becoming a seven-year civil war. In response, the UN announced it was implementing a “gradual return” of its peacekeepers to the border area for the for the first time since 2014, conducting joint patrols with Russian military police. UN deputy spokesman Farhan Haq told reporters last week the key goal of UNDOF’s mission was to eventually reopen the Quneitra crossing between Israel and Syria. Russia’s Defense Ministry says its military police have been deployed in all areas recaptured from rebels by the Syrian government, including the Golan — a move that appears aimed at reassuring Israel. Israel considers Iran’s growing influence in Syria — it has advisers and allied militias fighting alongside Syrian troops— as an existential threat and has looked for guarantees from Moscow to push pro-Iran fighters away from its frontiers. Israel has sought to avoid direct involvement in the Syrian conflict but acknowledges carrying out dozens of airstrikes there to stop deliveries of advanced weaponry to its Lebanese enemy Hezbollah. It has also pledged to prevent Iran from entrenching itself militarily in Syria, and a series of recent strikes that have killed Iranians in Syria have been attributed to Israel. With Syrian forces now in close proximity, there have already been clashes between the two armies and Israel has insisted that the Syrian military respect the 1974 ceasefire agreement reached between Jerusalem and Damascus after the previous year’s Yom Kippur War. The agreement limits the forces each side can keep in the border region. On July 24, a Syrian Sukhoi fighter jet entered Israeli airspace over the Golan Heights, traveling approximately two kilometers (one mile) before it was downed when the IDF fired two Patriot interceptor missiles. On July 13, a Patriot missile shot down a Syrian army drone that was flying over the demilitarized zone separating Israel from Syria. Two days earlier, a Syrian military unmanned aerial vehicle penetrated some 10 kilometers (six miles) into Israeli territory before it too was shot down by a Patriot missile. The IDF said it had allowed the drone to fly so deeply into Israeli territory because it was not immediately clear if it belonged to the Russian military.

IDF says war in Gaza approaching,

Reports August 9, 2018

Only in Israel Could This Happen! IDF says war in Gaza approaching, Communities near the Gaza Strip could be evacuated. That’s over 100,000 Jews.

Another night of pure terror in Jewish communities near the Gaza Strip as dozens of rocket were fired into Israeli towns and communities. Sirens sounding in the middle of the night kids screaming parents doing everything they can with the few seconds before rockets hit and kill and destroy the Israeli iron dome intercepting many but still some getting through. I don’t know if you can imagine living like this with small children, knowing that the UN will not call it a war crime and for the most part the world at large will not even hear about it but will most certainly hear about Israel’s retaliation and the UN and the New World Order media will quickly call that a war crime. Speaking of the retaliation by the IDF and how most Israelis who live in or near Gaza experience these rocket attacks and watch their children being traumatized and see how the IDF retaliation is carried out, it is like some kind of secret or unspoken agreement that the IDF only bombs empty buildings and the Hamas and other Terrorists Organizations know to send their rockets and then vacate the buildings and wait for the bombs to come on their empty buildings, it’s the same ole story over and over. Causing me to wonder if there is something more cynical or diabolical going on because I know of no other country that would allow a terrorist group to constantly target their civilian population and not go after them with full force and wipe them out completely once and for all. We are talking about the most powerful military force in the Middle East allowing a terrorist organization to kill its citizens with impunity and not go after and destroy them. Folks, there is something wrong with that picture. Some are saying it’s because Israel knows a big war is coming with Hezbollah/Iran in Lebanon and Syria and they don’t want to fight a war on two fronts at the same time. But the problem with that thinking is you have no choice but to fight the war you have regardless of one or two fronts. Others are saying that it’s American holding Israel back so Trump can make the big deal and that also is no reason to allow someone to kill your citizens and then just blow up their empty buildings. Besides you can’t deal with terrorist you either kill them or they kill you, end of the story. As far as I can see and I’ve been here for decades there is a war on the horizon that will over shadow all the other wars, like they say in this part of the world it will be the mother of all wars. Even our IDF Generals are telling us to prepare, for it will be terrible and many will die and when the Generals are telling you that it is way past time to get serious about preparations. In my daily prayers I ask God to show me how to be ready with our boats to save Jewish lives, where to have the boats positioned when the first and terrible onslaught of missiles is flying over Israel. Because I also know (I just know) that when the war kicks off here in Israel all hell will break lose for the Jews of Europe making a repeat of the 30’s and 40’s. And those Jews who didn’t hear the fishermen will certainly hear the hunters. I also know that only by the leading and protection of the Rauch Hakodesh (Holy Spirit) we will be able to be where we need to be to make the pick ups and bring them home to Israel. God didn’t ask me or anyone to do anything but be obedient to His Calling, without fear and knowing it is all in His hands. We need to hear from those God has touched to support this ministry our needs are great. To Support CLICK HERE. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem for our son Joel and all the IDF soldiers. Pray for this ministry and your part in it. Shalom, jerry golden

Rocket Attacks Against Israel for Full 24 Hours from Gaza - ONGOING Thursday

Category: World News Thursday, 09 August 2018 07:45

Yesterday, Wednesday August 7, beginning at about noon eastern US time, Arabs in the Gaza Strip began firing Rockets and Mortars into Israel. Over 150 Rockets and dozens of Mortars were launched, damaging homes, businesses and landing near school playgrounds in Israel. The attacks continued all day, into the night, and OVERNIGHT! All parties to any ceasefire agreement, told the UN and Egypt the ceasefire is over. There is now talk of "war." Video from Israel showed small school kids panicking as they ran toward school bomb shelters on the playground; shelters which were already full with other terrified children, leaving kids around age 5 or 7, outside and exposed to the deafening blasts. This round of rockets brought new horror: Blast Fragmentation Warheads, designed to hurl shrapnel on impact. For the first time, Israelis began seeing cars and homes penetrated by shrapnel, not just damaged or set on fire by such rockets. Several Israelis have been wounded. At least two Pregnant women went into fear-induced Labor. Homes and cars have been set on fire by flaming kites and Molotov balloons. Israeli Defense Force (IDF) troops came under repeated Sniper fire and overt gunfire. The IDF and the Israeli Air Force (IAF) were directed by the government to respond in defense of Israel. Heavy air strikes against targets in northern, western and southern Gaza hit numerous targets, sending giant plumes of flame and debris into the air with deafening booms heard for miles. Still the fanatics in Gaza did not stop. Overnight, more barrages of rocket attacks took place. Red Alert warning sirens blared repeatedly inside Israel, warning frightened citizens of incoming rockets - giving some only 15 seconds to get to shelter before the rockets struck. The Totals as of 10:30 PM EDT last night: - Over 150 rockets fired from Gaza - 2 Rockets strike Sderot homes - 1 injured - 25 Rockets intercepted - Long range missiles being used - Thousands of Israeli families sleeping in shelters - IAF bombs over 100 Gaza targets - At least 3 dead - 20 injured All off the items above were reported as they took place yesterday, by the Hal Turner Radio Show, HERE. NOT ONE "mass-media" outlet in the US covered these developments! ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, FOX News, UPI, New York Times, Washington Post . . . . seemed totally devoid of even a mention! Even this morning (Thursday) it seems as though only CNN gave these events any coverage at all, with a tiny snippet "Israel and Hamas exchange fire in sudden Gaza escalation." The ONLY place the general public is getting any coverage of substance, is right here at HalTurnerRadioShow.com and on my International High-Frequency radio show last night. Live updates to yesterday's coverage ended at 12:15 AM this morning. (I __had__ to sleep) Since that time, here is what took place overnight: 12:45 AM EDT -- In the coming hours additional IDF forces are being mobilized to Southern Israel 1:00 AM EDT -- IDF analysts : the relative calm right now is an illusion. IDF will likely resume counter-strikes soon and then new rocket fire will likely follow 1:37 AM EDT -- 22 SIMULTANEOUS ALERTS - LARGEST ROCKET BARRAGE YET AGAINST ISRAEL 1:45 AM EDT - OVER 180 MISSILES HAVE NOW BEEN FIRED IN TO ISRAEL - LARGEST SINCE 2014 OPERATION DIRECT HIT ON HOUSE IN ASHKELON

2:00 AM EDT -- ISRAEL SAYS CONSIDERING EVACUATION OF BORDER COMMUNITIES AHEAD OF MAJOR MILITARY ACTION Here's a listing of just SOME of the targets struck by Israel in response to Gaza Rocket attacks: - The headquarters of the Hamas battalion in Jabalya which contained dozens of terrorist targets. - A military compound used by the commander of the Northern Gaza City Division, which includes a marine tunnel. - A military post of Hamas used by the Al Jabalya Central Battalion, where combat training is carried out in built-up areas as well as training of divers of the Hamas naval force.

- A military compound of the Zaytun Battalion, which is used to store rocket weapons and to dig tunnels. - A military compound of the East Jabalya battalion, which is used for training and fighting in a built-up area, where a shaft leading to the terrorist tunnels complex had been dug - A Hamas base in the northern Gaza Strip, which is used for training operatives in a built-up area and which contains a launching system. - A training compound for fighting in a built-up area in central Gaza - A battalion compound of the Jabalya battalion, where training and meetings of senior members of the battalion are held. - A military compound used by the Hamas terrorist organization to store weapons and explosives. In the past, it served as a site for the digging of firing shafts. - A Hamas military compound used by the Dir al-Balah battalion, where tunnels are being dug. 2:40 AM EDT -- IDF SAYING 210 ROCKETS HAVE BEEN FIRED IN TO ISRAEL IN THE LAST 15 HOURS - LARGEST AMOUNT SINCE 2014 OPERATION The security cabinet meeting scheduled for today has been reclassified as an emergency meeting, and sources say evacuation of some towns near Gaza will be discussed, ahead of a major operation by the IDF. 4:00 AM EDT -- Egypt informs Israel that Hamas has officially declined the ceasefire agreement forged in Egypt. 4:30 AM EDT -- My former colleagues (in other countries) from my years working with the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force in the Intel Community are reporting to me as follows: "Lots of logistics building up, ground forces in the south, some northern units moving south." ISRAEL REFUSES TO TALK CEASEFIRE WHILST UNDER FIRE HAMAS REFUSES TO DISCUSS CEASEFIRE WHILST ISRAEL AIRSTRIKES CONTINUE UN ENVOY CANCELS ALL FURTHER MEETINGS*** BULLETIN *** Israel informed Egypt YESTERDAY that it had until 16:00 local time to restore the ceasefire in Gaza. That time deadline is 13 minutes from now east coast time ! ! ! ! ! !

“And Men Were Scorched With Great Heat, And Blasphemed The Name Of God, Which Had Power Over These Plagues” (Rev. 16:9): 2018’s Global Heat Wave Is So Pervasive It’s Surprising Scientists

August 9, 2018 by SkyWatch Editor

The deadly heat waves, floods and fires occurring from Japan to the Middle East, and North America to Europe have clear links to human-caused climate change, according to climate scientists, and this summer's abnormal weather is just the beginning of what's in store for us in coming years. Why it matters: The biggest near-term impacts of climate change on society come in the form of weather and climate extremes, so this summer illustrates the danger of even a relatively small amount of warming. So far, the planet has only warmed by close to 1°C, or 1.8°F, above preindustrial levels. We're on a trajectory to reach 3 degrees Celsius, or 5.4°F, by 2100. The big picture: All-time high temperature records, along with heavy rainfall milestones have fallen as a warmer, wetter climate exerts its influence on day-to-day weather. Here are just a few of the records set so far: In North America: Los Angeles set an all-time high temperature record of 111°F on July 6. Montreal, Canada also set its all-time high temperature record, during a deadly Quebec heat wave in early July. This week, Death Valley, California, has broken three straight daily records with a high of 127°F. Update, July 31, 2018: Death Valley is poised to set a record for the hottest month ever recorded on Earth, with an average temperature of 108°F, breaking last year's record by about half a degree. Several locations are reporting that July was their warmest all-time month, including the normally temperate Caribou, Maine. In Europe: Unprecedented heat led to a wildfire outbreak in Scandinavia, and record highs have been set all the way above the Arctic Circle this month. According to the U.N., Sodankyla, Finland hit 89.2°F, or 31.8°C, on July 17, which was an all-time record for that location. On Sunday, Sortland, in far northern Norway, saw the temperature reach 87.8°F, or 31.0°C, which was an all-time high for any month at that location, according to meteorologist Etienne Kapikian. July 27 was the hottest temperature on record in Amsterdam, at 34.8°C, or 94.6°F. Remarkably, in northern Norway, Makkaur, set a new record high overnight low temperature of 25.2°C, or 77°F, on July 18. Heat records have also fallen in the U.K., Ireland and France. In London, high temperatures hit 35°C on Thursday, and were forecast to potentially eclipse that on Friday. The U.K. is suffering through one of its driest years on record. In Asia, Chinese media is reporting that "22 counties and cities" have had their hottest July on record. South Korea set its all-time high temperature record on Aug. 1, when the temperature soared to 40.7°C, or 105.2°F, in Hongcheon, according to the Korea Meteorological Administration. It was the highest ever recorded across the country since the KMA started compiling the data in 1907. The previous high of 40 degrees Celsius was logged at the southeastern city of Daegu in North Gyeongsang province on Aug. 1 in 1942. Temperature in the capital Seoul reached a daily high of 39.6 degrees Celsius in midday, marking the highest in 111 years. The previous high was 38.4 degrees Celsius recorded on July 24, 1994. In the Middle East: Quriyat, Oman, which likely set the world’s hottest low temperature ever recorded on June 28, when the temperature failed to drop below 109°F, or 42.8°C. In Africa: Ouargla, Algeria, may have set Africa's all-time highest temperature on July 5, with a reading of 124.3°F, or 51.3°C. In Asia: Japan set a national temperature record of 106°F, or 41.1°C, in a heat wave that followed deadly floods. According to an analysis published Friday, climate scientists found a clear link between climate change and extreme heat in Europe, particularly in Scandinavia, although year-to-year variability prevented researchers from making definitive statements. "We found that for the weather station in the far north, in the Arctic Circle, the current heat wave is just extraordinary – unprecedented in the historical record,” said Geert Jan van Oldenborgh, senior researcher at the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI). And it's not just heat records that are noteworthy this summer. Large expanses of forests are burning in response to hot, dry conditions, from Scandinavia to Siberia, and California to Oregon. The Ferguson Fire forced Yosemite National Park to close this week at the peak of tourist season. Another conflagration killed at least 84 outside Athens earlier this week. In addition, extreme precipitation events have struck, which is another expected consequence of climate change since warmer air holds more water vapor. Between the lines: Climate scientists told Axios that while they are not surprised by the simultaneous extremes observed so far this summer — reports have warned about this for years — they are taken aback by the severity and number of these extreme events. "Even for somebody who understands extreme weather and how climate change affects extreme weather, what's happening this summer is incredible," said Bernadette Woods, chief meteorologist and climate matters program director at Climate Central, a nonpartisan climate science research and communications group. Likewise, Michael Wehner, a climate researcher at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California, called 2018 "an unusual year." "While I expect that high temperatures records will continue to be broken at abnormally high rates because of global warming, I would not have guessed that so many would be broken in the same year," he said via email. Noah Diffenbaugh, a climate scientist at Stanford University, published a study last year that found a fingerprint of climate change in heat milestones worldwide. The study found that climate change has boosted the odds of record-breaking heat across more than 80% of the surface area of the globe for which reliable observations were available. Not only should we not be surprised to see the increasing frequency of the hot extremes and wet extremes, but even more directly they actually should be expected"Noah Diffenbaugh, a climate scientist at Stanford University The bottom line: One point climate scientists emphasized is that as average global temperatures increase, the impacts of climate change are becoming more visible. Daniel Swain, a climate researcher at UCLA, told Axios: "From my perspective as a climate scientist, one of the most striking (and disconcerting) aspects of this is that we’re now seeing decades-old scientific predictions being validated in the real world, right before our eyes," he said via email. "And now we’re seeing these changes manifest themselves in a very tangible sense in London, and Tokyo, and Delhi, and Los Angeles, and Washington D.C.—places where hundreds of millions of people live." — Daniel Swain, climate scientist at UCLA Go deeper: Yosemite National Park evacuated as wildfire worsens Heat records fall in the Arctic as fires erupt in Sweden and Siberia Special report: A 30-year alarm on the reality of climate change Editor's note: This story has been updated to include additional temperature records in Maine and China, and to correct the name of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

'Force field' technology could make US tanks unstoppable

By Allison Barrie | Fox News

Astonishingly futuristic new tech creates a seemingly invisible, impenetrable, protective bubble around military armored vehicles making enemy attempts to fire at U.S. tanks pretty pointless – those rounds won’t hit the tank, they’ll explode mid-air. Think of it almost like making a tank smart enough to defend itself. With the upgrade, tanks automatically protect the crew inside and prevent enemy rounds from making contact with the armor. Within the blink of an eye, this remarkable technology detects the enemy fire, locates it and launches a response that destroys the threat at a safe distance from the vehicle. It is sort of like a tiny missile defense system used to protect countries– but one designed to ride along with armored vehicles. RPGs (Rocket Propelled Grenades) and even Anti-Tank Guided Missiles that can slay tanks are stopped mid-air, precisely intercepted and prevented from hitting the U.S. military tank. Most types of enemy fire will never reach a tank protected with this tech. It will change warfare forever. STORMBREAKER: POWERFUL BOMB PENETRATES BAD WEATHER, SPELLS BAD NEWS FOR BAD GUYS The mind-blowing tech is called Active Protection Systems – or APS. APS gives soldiers massively better protection, but without adding the weight of additional armor slowing down the vehicles’ speed and maneuverability. In the near term, the iconic main battle tank M1 Abrams will be the first to be kitted out with this remarkable new approach to keeping crews safe. The M2 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles and Strykers are also expected to receive this remarkable upgrade soon as well. Imagine the U.S. Army being able to send vehicles into battle that enemy forces cannot hit with their weapons. Every time they try, the tank automatically launches counter-measures destroying the would-be tank-slaying-round mid-air. Enemy fire would be futile. The U.S. Army would be even more unstoppable. Right now, two countries already have battle-proven APS: Russia and Israel. BLACK HAWK ARMY HELICOPTERS GET FUTURISTIC NEW COCKPIT The United States defense industry has lagged behind on developing this futuristic method of shielding. To find a solution, the U.S. Army selected three companies to collaborate and adapt their battle-tested tech for U.S. military vehicles. The Israeli company Rafael’s Trophy system used by the Israel Defense Forces is being adapted for the Abrams and the Iron Fist from the Israeli IMI Systems for the Bradley. American company Artis’ Iron Curtain has been in development for use on the Stryker. In amazing news for Army families and soldiers, General Mark Milley recently told the Senate the Army intends to ultimately outfit the entire heavy force, all combat vehicles, with APS. WHAT DOES IT STOP? Basically, APS can stop weapons that are extremely destructive. Weapons that can potentially be lethal to tanks and other armored combat vehicles, even though they are protected by armor. The APS “shields” could protect U.S. forces from light antitank weapons, guided missiles and rocket-propelled grenades. Thus far, not every single weapon any enemy could wield would be stopped – but certainly many of the most commonly used would be stopped before impact. This current generation of APS is very effective against lower-velocity explosive rounds fired by enemy aircraft and ground forces. PODCAST: “SELF-RESCUE” MASTER HOW TO SAVE YOUR OWN LIFE IF DANGER STRIKES WITH THIS INSIDER SWAT EXPERTISE HOW WILL IT PROTECT ABRAMS TANKS? The U.S. Army has awarded a $193 million APS contract to Leonardo DRS to protect the new M1A2 Abrams tanks. The Israel Defense Forces has been using Trophy to protect its Namer heavy infantry fighting vehicle. ARMY'S NEW MACHINE GUN WILL BLAST LIKE BATTLE TANKS This APS Trophy uses a number of radars positioned around the tank. The radars help provide 360-degree detection of incoming fire. Around the clock, the radar scans the entire perimeter out to its maximum range. When a threat penetrates this monitored area, Trophy automatically detects and classifies that threat. Breathtakingly fast, its super smart computer works out the correct kill point in space to intercept before the weapon can hit the tank. Within milliseconds, Trophy has evaluated whether it is a real threat, sends a warning to the crew and nearby forces and also launches an EFP (Explosively Formed Projectile) to destroy the projectile. The counter-measure intercepts the incoming, say RPG, and collides with it mid-air at a safe distance from the vehicle. Translation – threats cannot penetrate Trophy’s protection, keeping the tank and crew safe from strikes that could have been lethal. It is important to note that Trophy differentiates between serious and non-serious threats. For example, if a tank is rolling through a town and a child throws a rock at it – Trophy will not fire at, and destroy, the rock. SO WHAT DOES IT FIRE? Insiders call it a “hard kill” approach to stopping incoming threats. INNOVATIVE PROJECT HARNESSES LEGOS AND SMARTPHONES IN THE FIGHT AGAINST INVISIBLE, DEADLY WEAPONS The interceptors are launched from the top of the tank. With Trophy, the interceptors are a series of small, shaped charges. Trophy fires the small explosives at a specific point in space to exactly intercept and destroy the incoming enemy round. PODCAST: “NO ONE IS COMING, IT’S UP TO US” – HEAR THIS NAVY SEAL’S MOST AMAZING ADVENTURES EXPOSING CONCEALED ENEMY ATTACK POSITIONS Not only does the Trophy system stop the incoming rounds, it also pinpoints the position of the enemy firing at the tank. Trophy figures out the threat’s trajectory in order to successfully intercept the threat. Part of these calculations involves Trophy figuring out the incoming round’s point of origin. Trophy can instantly relay this location to the force, enabling quick targeting to stop the source of the threat as well. By doing so, Trophy provides an additional advantage. It rips away the enemy’s ability to conceal themselves. For example in an urban setting, once an enemy combatant fires an RPG from his hidden position in a building, the location will be exposed to the entire force by Trophy. The Army can quickly respond - and it will be the last time that enemy combatant ever tries to kill U.S. forces. BRADLEYS AND THE IRON FIRST LIGHT Trophy is not necessarily compatible with all U.S. Army combat vehicles. Power, size and weight are three key challenges to adapting APS to U.S. military vehicles. Active Protection Systems rely on lots of power and can be rather heavy. A Bradley has less power available than a tank and a cumbersome, heavy APS could undermine the Bradley speed and maneuverability that soldiers rely on.

THIS ORANGE, SQUISHY BODY ARMOR MATERIAL COULD SAVE LIVES

The Army selected IMI’s Iron Fist for adaptation to the M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles.

General Dynamics is collaborating with IMI Systems to provide Iron Fist Light. Potentially this APS could be used to upgrade protection not just on the Bradley’s, but other vehicles, even light 4x4 vehicles.

Like Trophy, it is designed to provide 360-degree protection. Iron Fist Light finds threats two ways: a search and track radar and a staring infrared sensor. It detects hostile fire and small arms ammunition burst.

Iron Fist Light fires a small warhead to intercept the threat at a safe distance from the vehicle. It either destroys it or a shock-wave effect defeats it.

DANGER TO DISMOUNTED TROOPS?

Stopping incoming fire from ever hitting a tank is awesome to protect the crew inside- but what about the dismounted troops nearby? Will the explosion of the missile or RPG at a safe distance from the tank have the consequence of putting boots on the ground at increased risk?

TANK-KILLING ROBOT REVEALED

It is vital that soldiers near armored tanks are not put in further danger due to protection of the vehicles with APS. The explosion caused by the interceptor hitting the enemy round could result in threats like shrapnel raining down on dismounted troops. Active Protection Systems definitely pose a challenge, but solutions are available. The U.S. military will need to evolve and consider how they need to adapt tactics, techniques and procedures to the deployment of this futuristic technology. In fact, clever adaptation could lead to dismounted troops near armored vehicles gaining enhanced protection and becoming safer than ever before too thanks to this tech. Thus far, it seems as though Israel and Russia have largely been able to adapt, so solutions are readily available. If Russia can adapt, then the U.S. military most certainly can as well. WHAT’S NEXT? Right now, take the hypothetical extreme scenario of the U.S. forced to engage in battle against Russia. The U.S. Army would face armored vehicles that are protected by advanced APS – as in, protected by these amazing futuristic shields. If the Russian military fired accurately on the U.S. Army vehicles, then the U.S. Army vehicles would be hit by potentially lethal rounds without APS to shield them. If the U.S. Army responded by targeting the Russian vehicles firing missiles and RPGs at them, then the American rounds could be ineffective. Russia’s APS could potentially stop U.S. lethal rounds from ever making contact with Russian APS protected vehicles. General Milley recently updated the Senate that within 24 months Active Protection Systems will be ready for operational use. Currently, there is only budget for four brigades to receive this life-saving, futuristic shield. Artis’ Iron Curtain is the only U.S. APS under consideration with the U.S. Army right now for the Stryker. Ultimately, the entire heavy force, all of the U.S. Army ground vehicles, including all the tanks, current combat vehicles and future combat vehicles will be ramped up with active protective systems. Down the line, Humvees, JLTVs and even U.S. Army helicopters might be outfitted with this remarkable tech.

A Racist Communist Famine Grows in South Africa

Leftist land seizures and racist politics will lead to genocide.

August 8, 2018 Daniel Greenfield

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical left and Islamic terrorism.

"Strongman politics are ascendant," Barack Obama warned in South Africa. He spoke passionately about "the politics of fear and resentment" at the Mandela Lecture. He worried that we were entering a world, “where might makes right and politics is a hostile competition between tribes and races and religions.” While the media used the remarks to attack Trump's meeting with Putin, Obama had shared a stage with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa who had come to power promising to seize land from white farmers. Ramaphosa was the latest in a series of ANC strongmen, including his predecessor, an alleged rapist, beginning with the Communist terrorist whose legacy Obama was commemorating. President Ramaphosa had vowed early on to seize land from white farmers without compensation. "The expropriation of land without compensation is envisaged as one of the measures that we will use to accelerate redistribution of land to black South Africans,” he had declared. And denied that such racist Communist tactics were unconstitutional. Now he’s moving to modify South Africa’s constitution. Initially, the ANC, which is partnered with the South African Communist Party, had claimed that seizing land would not violate the law. Now it’s actually going to change the South African constitution. “It has become pertinently clear that our people want the constitution to be more explicit about expropriation of land without compensation,” President Ramaphosa announced. When your only rule is mob rule by ANC thugs, it doesn’t really matter what a piece of paper says. “We will accelerate our land redistribution programme not only to redress a grave historical injustice, but also to bring more producers into the agricultural sector and to make more land available for cultivation,” Ramaphosa claimed in his State of the Nation address. Zimbabwe had already made great strides in improving agriculture through land seizures. Land was stolen from the farmers who knew how to work it and handed out to politically connected thugs. Soon the former "bread basket" of Southern Africa was starving. Black groups pleaded with the white farmers to remain. Rural Zimbabwe died. Hyperinflation made the currency worthless. A trillion dollars might not be enough to buy one egg. A former food exporter was forced to rely on food aid. "If white settlers just took the land from us without paying for it," Mugabe had declared, "we can, in a similar way, just take it from them without paying for it." Ramaphosa’s rhetoric is an echo of one of Africa’s worst racist strongmen. Land seizures won’t bring South African land into “full use”, as he claims. It will mean productive land falling into the hands of ANC thugs who will be too corrupt, incompetent and greedy to do the hard work of working the land. South Africa’s agricultural sector will go the way of Zimbabwe. Cyril Ramaphosa is one of South Africa's richest men and has an estimated net worth of $550 million. How did a socialist student activist make a mint? The answer is an inevitable as it is unsurprising. South Africa’s agricultural sector has been steadily in decline. Farms used to provide millions of jobs. Now they offer less than a million. Wheat planting has fallen to a third. Cotton to a tenth. A country that once exported wheat, is now importing millions of tons while its agriculture sector fails. The decline of South Africa’s agriculture has gone hand in hand with what it euphemistically calls its land reforms. White farmers have been murdered or driven off their land. But land seizures, legal and illegal, with compensation or with a hatchet, haven’t made South African agriculture more productive. Instead South Africa is becoming increasingly dependent on agricultural imports to feed its people. Like Zimbabwe, South Africa is due to revisit the same implacable economic consequences of land seizures that took the Soviet Union down the road to famine and terror. Toward its end, the USSR, despite possessing territories that had once bulged with rich harvests, had gone deep into debt to buy food from the United States. The African National Congress’ Communist roots are taking South Africa down the same path as its fallen Communist masters. And with the same miserable results. Comrade Ramaphosa, as Comrade Mandela liked to call him, is less of a strongman, than a weak man. More afraid of thugs like Julius Malema and the greed of his ANC comrades than of dooming his people to hunger. The ANC is populated with thugs who are impatiently waiting to loot South Africa’s corpse. And they’ve grown tired of pretending that they are anything more than a failed state’s Marxist mob. The constitutional gambit is a desperate attempt to legitimize racist mob violence and ANC corruption. It takes the constant assaults on white farmers and tries to disguise lawlessness under the color of law. 1 white farmer in South Africa has been murdered every 5 days. This ethnic cleansing has been going on with the same regular clockwork as the tributes to Nelson Mandela and his even more murderous wife. The racist violence, the murders, rapes and land seizures, the chants of, “Shoot the Boer” are backed by lies about a shadow white majority somehow still ruling South Africa even after all the years of ANC rule.  The media frequently repeats fake news statistics which claim that white farmers own 70% or more of the country’s farmland. The actual number is less than a quarter. Some of the best land in South Africa is already in black hands. And, just as in Zimbabwe, it hasn’t remedied the agricultural or social problems. South Africa’s agricultural sector is already on its deathbed. Its corrupt economy is incapable of competing on the world stage. Its exports are not at issue, its ability to feed its own people is. Aggressive land seizures won’t do much more damage to South Africa’s economy, though it will discourage investors and drive out more white farmers, but will bring its society to its knees. Meanwhile the plight of South Africa’s white farmers continues to be ignored. The ANC genocide has been slowly unfolding for a generation with the complicity of the same leftist leaders who covered up Communist genocides in the Soviet Union, Communist China and Cambodia. But this latest legitimization of land seizures by the ANC will only encourage a further outpouring of racist attacks on white farmers. Australian Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton has urged helping the persecuted white farmers of South Africa receive political asylum. But while every “persecuted” group is fast tracked for asylum, the door still remains shut for a productive population that has been targeted for economic ethnic cleansing. In his State of the Nation speech, President Ramaphos declared, “We are building a country where a person’s prospects are determined by their own initiative and hard work, and not by the color of their skin, place of birth, gender, language or income of their parents.” Seizing land from people because of the color of their skin and giving it to those who haven’t worked for it is the opposite of that vision. And yet it’s easy to see why Obama was so comfortable with a politician who could twist the language of equality to justify identity politics theft and the verbiage of tolerance to justify racial oppression. South Africa, like the Soviet Union and Venezuela, like Cambodia and Cuba, is not just an atrocity, it’s a cautionary tale. Ideology, more than race, connects the scattered strands of the leftist killing fields. To pretend that what happened there cannot happen here would be ignoring the lessons of history. And a new red famine is growing where the red blood of white farmers flows into the dying earth.

Holy war: Franklin Graham shreds 'vile' media

'I've never seen such hatred poured out against such a good man'

Published: 5 days ago Bob Unruh

Franklin Graham, chief of Samaritan’s Purse as well as the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, is pulling no punches in his criticism of the New York Times. His comments appeared on Facebook regarding an opinion piece published by the newspaper. The newspaper also was cited by the Federalist for an “atrociously brutal piece” by Frank Bruni who called Vice President Mike Pence a “holy terror.” Federalist writer Glenn T. Stanton said, “Bruni actually warns the best case against impeaching Trump is the much greater danger of Pence.” For Graham, it was too much. “The New York Times published a slanderous, vile op-ed piece about Vice President Mike Pence. They were specifically attacking his faith, which really is an attack on all of us who believe in God and His Son, Jesus Christ,” he said. “I am disappointed that the New York Times would stoop so low. I’ve never seen such hatred poured out against such a good man. Vice President Pence is a dedicated public servant who is doing an exemplary job for our nation. Attacks like this against him and the Lord that He serves should remind us all to keep him in our prayers because he not only represents our country, but all who hold a deep and sincere faith in God. “Pray for Vice President Pence, his wife Karen, and their entire family, that God would put a hedge of protection around them.” Stanton had explained more. “Think about that a moment though. For all the venom and apocalyptic hysteria being spewed at everything Trump has ever said, done or probably even thought — and there is plenty there of concern — there is someone even ‘worse’ than this president. Bruni makes Chicken Little seem measured,” Stanton wrote. He explained Bruni’s perspective: “Pence’s original and most damning sin is that he’s a Christian who actually believes what Christians actually believe. Imagine that.” He wrote, “Pence is really no different than your run-of-the-mill evangelical, like millions of Americans. He believes that God governs the affairs of men, that prayer is effectual and worth doing, that marriage and family are best when built upon a married mother and father, that life is sacred and abortion destroys life, and that God appoints our government’s leaders, even those who are hostile to Him.” Bruni had slammed the vice president for his “regressive, repressive version of Christianity.” His statement that to trade Trump for Pence would be to go “from kleptocracy to theocracy” drew Stanton’s disbelief. “How does one even respond to such meteoric hyperbole masquerading as thoughtfulness? Every person in government who’s possessed any measure of traditional Christian conviction and has the temerity to live by it has been accused of wanting to start a theocracy. The charge has grown quite thin and it has never even come close to happening. Chicken Little again.” And he warned that Bruni fails to see that “it is precisely this kind of elitist bigotry that fueled Trump’s ascendency. But they keep topping off that tank with tanker-truck after tanker-truck of high-test vitriol.” “It’s interesting that when Joy Behar said on ‘The View’ that Pence was mentally ill because he says he sometimes hears from God when he prays, she was answering the panel’s question as to whether Pence would be a worse president than Trump. (She later apologized.) She was willing to call Pence psychotic, but she would not go as far as to say he is worse than Trump, because she explained ‘No one could be worse than Trump.’ Saying Bruni is rhetorically more extreme than Behar is certainly saying something.”

As Globalists And Big Tech 'Identify, Vilify, Nullify And Destroy', Totalitarian Attempts To Ban The 1st Amendment Could Lead To Rivers Of Blood Flowing Through The Streets Of America

August 8, 2018 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

With 'big tech' and the globalists having launched an all-out war upon the 1st Amendment with Alex Jones and Infowars clearly the 'canary in the coal mine' of tyranny, Steve Quayle recently warned while linking to this story over at Intellihub about the fiasco: "when there is no 'alt news', murder and death will rule the day". With Senate Democrats now actually floating plans that would see the US government taking over the internet according to a leaked memo circulating among them that details a plethora of authoritarian proposals for regulating digital platforms such as Infowars and ANP, allegedly to "get tough on Russian bots and fake news", the fact that one Democratic senator recently said "the survival of our democracy depends on banning sites like InfoWars" tells us everything that we need to know going forward in 2018. (REMINDER TO CONGRESS: Your job approval rating SUCKS at 18%!) As Quayle also mentioned while linking to this story over at Zero Hedge which reports that the censorship crackdown continues with twitter suspending several accounts of prominent libertarians, including the account of the Director of the Ron Paul Institute, "the first victim in any war is truth - 'propaganda is the execution squad' to all truth - the full-scale NWO pogrom begins!" And does anybody really believe that a full-scale attempt to crack down upon the 1st Amendment by totalitarians attempting to ban independent media outlets will end well for them? As Stefan Molyneux tells us in the extremely important 1st video below, the way that this is heading can only lead to war with Democrats actually now treating millions of Republicans as 2nd class, non-citizens. Molyneux's video helps to confirm the warning given by Quayle, a warning that H.G. Wells himself warned about in his 1939 book "The New World Order" within which he claimed countless people would die protesting against such a global government body. And while Wells' book was pro-global govt and surely didn't envision a 'President Donald Trump' coming into office in the US in a last-gasp attempt to put an end to the scourge of globalism, the 'full-scale NWO pogrom' Quayle warns us of may be the only real possibility for them to ever regain power. So MASSIVE thumbs up to our 'Founding Fathers' who had the incredible wisdom of creating the 2nd Amendment for the US Constitution to ensure that any banning of the 1st Amendment would never happen. As we've reported several times previously on ANP, during the 2016 election, Hillary Clinton's assistant secretary of communications Christina Reynolds actually had the gall to send out a fundraising email in which they claimed that websites such as Breitbart and Infowars "had no right to exist". As Breitbart reported then, Clinton's stated goals were absolutely an attack upon the free press, the independent media that refused to sell its soul to get Hillary Clinton elected, so we really shouldn't be the least bit surprised with America approaching the 2018 mid-term elections that the mainstream media and Democrats in Congress are further attempting to censor Conservatives on the internet. Even Donald Trump Jr. recently warned that Democrats and 'big tech' together would love to 'kill' news outlets such as Breitbart and Infowars and the all-out attacks we've seen on Infowars that Susan Duclos reported of in this ANP story proves the old adage true: "First They Came For Infowars....... Tomorrow We Will All Be Alex Jones: Independent Media Silenced - They Are Coming For Us All Now - The Purge Is In Full Swing". So should suddenly and without warning you wake up one morning and find out that websites such as the Drudge Report, Breitbart, Steve Quayle, Natural News, SHTFPlan, Zero Hedge, ANP and others have been taken off line, you'll know it's already far too late for freedom and truth to ever be revealed and you'll have absolute proof that America has completely fallen to tyranny. And while big tech's all out war upon independent news website's rages on, in this new story over at the Daily Beast that the Drudge Report linked to on Tuesday they report that a whopping 43% of Republicans want President Trump to have the power to shut down the mainstream media (aka globalist propaganda networks). Reporting that President Trump's 'enemy of the people' talk is clearly working with such a big percentage of Trump supporters wanting President Trump to have the power to 'take out' bad media outlets such as CNN and MSNBC (which sold away their souls and their duties to get accurate information out to the people in their failed bid to get Hillary Clinton into office), maybe President Trump should just join us for some popcorn while watching the MSM continue to self-destruct. With the American people's trust in the mainstream news media outlets near record lows and continuing to fall and anti-Trump news channels and websites such as CNN and the Washington Post now hemorrhaging viewers and readers, how long might it be until leftists resort to all-out violence upon Conservatives? As Steve Quayle had previously mentioned, their attempts to "identify, vilify, nullify and destroy" all Conservatives can absolutely be seen now in their all-out attacks upon Alex Jones. And with the globalists going after the rights of Conservatives to speak freely, what comes next, all-out book burning including the Bible? With billboards in California already being taken down simply because they show the Bible, it's certainly not out of the realm of possibility with book burning Nazi's masquerading as 'big tech', the mainstream media and within Congress. And we can see the total and complete 'dumbing down' of Americans that has gotten us to this very moment in time in this new story over at Campus Reform and the 2nd video below which helps to confirm that most millenials are totally and completely clueless when it comes to the rights afforded Americans by the 1st Amendment. If you didn't believe it before when Susan Duclos reported in this August of 2017 ANP story that the 45 planks of Communism that were actually read into Congressional Record back in 1963 were being fully implemented into America, this latest attempt to purge the 1st Amendment should provide more proof. As Susan warned us then in her story titled "Identify, Vilify, Nullify, Destroy' - Tech Giants Formula To 'Starve Them Out' In Financial Persecution Of All Americans Against The Communist Agenda": For decades the communists within America have infiltrated everything from our educational system to our mainstream media outlets, to the tech industry, to our intelligence communities, allowed to run rampant, unchecked as they carefully implemented many of the 45 goals of communism to take over America, and when Americans finally saw the destruction of this great nation and started fighting back, tech giants, the media and the deep state committed themselves to "starve out" the enemies of communism by financial persecution. And so we pray that peace and sanity return to America and that Democrats and globalists come to their senses before they begin something that could very well end up very, very badly for them with tens of millions of Americans well prepared to repel tyranny thanks to the wisdom of our Founding Fathers and the rights guaranteed to Americans in the US Constitution that most millenials have been 'programmed' to ignore.

'Mad Max Radicalists' Have Taken Over: Time To #WalkAway From Liberal Antifa Mobs, Censorship, Hatred & Harassment

August 8, 2018 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

Over the five days we have seen violent mobs in Berkeley vandalizing their downtown area, resulting in 20 arrests of violent Antifa thugs supported by far-left liberals, the same day Portland police had to put a human barrier wall between Antifa members and members of the Patriot Prayer group, which also included violence; TPUSA members, Candace Owens and Charlie Kirk assualted and accosted while eating breakfast, where police had to form yet another wall between the mob and the two conservative activists, and; Big tech collectively acting in unison to silence a member of the Alternative Media. THE LAST FIVE DAYS OF LIBERAL RADICALISM Each of the events described above are supported, and encouraged by liberal "progressive" Democrats and the establishment media, which it appears are one and the same now. It was Maxine "Mad Max" Waters that publicly called on people to gather into "crowds," aka mobs to publicly confront Trump administration officials, at gas stations, grocery stores and restaurants. Waters made those statements shortly after reports that multiple Trump administration officials were accosted and heckled while out dining. Following that call from Waters, there was a dramatic increase in regular every day private citizens that support President Trump being attacked in public, while at restaurants, and other examples of harassment and violence. A teenager was assaulted for wearing a MAGA hat. The man tore the hat off the teens head, along with some hair, and they picked up a drink and threw it in the teens face. Canadace Owens and charlie Kirk were eating in a diner, and members of an Antifa group sat across from them, contacted the local Antifa group in Philadelphia, who showed up outside and started throwing stuff at the windows of the restaurant. When Kirk and Owens left, the were greeted with a Maxine Waters-approved mob, screaming at them with mega phones, throwing water and eggs at Kirk, calling Owens, an African American woman a "white supremacist," a "race-traitor," before the police stepped in, then they verbally abused the police. (Video of that in Tuesday's ANP piece) Berkeley police arrested 20 Antifa members who became violent during a demonstration against conservatives that were holding a rally. The smashed windows, physically assaulted citizens and had "dozens of weapons," confiscated by police. Berkeley police released the mug shots of those arrested (seen above) and liberals online, along with California professors, slammed the police for releasing the names and images, which are public record after their arrests, without criticizing the violent actions of Antifa members at all. Think about that for a minute. It is now the overwhelming majority of far-left "progressive" liberals that stay silent about the violence perpetrated against conservatives but slam law enforcement for releasing public information about those arrested for that violence. Berkeley Police on Twitter linked to an article about the arrests, which stated that "extremists threw explosives at Berkeley Police and Alameda County Sheriff’s Office mutual aid officers." They also describe other actions these Antifa thugs took during that demonstration. There was significant damage to City property: An extremist element amongst a large group marched westbound by the Berkeley Way parking lot, smashing 21 city vehicles and slashing City vehicle tires, and setting one City vehicle on fire. Three minor dumpster fires were extinguished. Liberals took to Twitter to slam the Berkeley Police for releasing the public information, rather than criticize the violence of Antifa. One user by the handle of J-Abolish ICE-Dub, tried accusing them of a "violation of privacy" for releasing the names and mug shots. Another says the release of the information "invites danger," and later calling it a "hostile gesture." Personally I think throwing explosives at the police trying to keep peace during rally-goers and Antifa extremists, is pretty "hostile," but that user apparently doesn't see the irony of her statement. Between the names, the profiles, and by clicking over to individual accounts, it was easy to see the political lean on those criticizing the Berkeley Police compared to the ideological stances of those supporting them. Radical liberals were defending Antifa while more moderates and conservatives were supporting the arrests. Last but not least, the media campaign to censor Alex Jones of Infowars, with an online harassment campaign by other liberals, resulted in a collective big tech attempt to silence his online presence and limit his reach. Facebook, YouTube, Apple, Google Podcast, Spotify, TuneIn (Online contact form), Spreaker (email: support@spreaker.com), iHeartRadio, Audioboom, Pinterest, MailChimp (scroll down to the "Access Our Contact Form" link) , Stitcher, Disqus, Sprout Social (Scroll to the bottom/left side), and LinkedIn, all terminated services from Alex Jones and Infowars, all within a 24 hour period. TIME FOR MODERATE DEMOCRATS TO #WALKAWAY FROM LIBERAL RADICALISM Many of the testimonials at the #WalkAway campaign website cite the liberal radicalism that has taken over the Democratic party as the reason this movement has taken off and grows exponentially, getting bigger and bigger every day. They cite the media bias, the violence, and the outright attacks against those that disagree ideologically, as the reason they had to #WalkAway. Their video channel offers firsthand accounts of those that, contrary to the media spin, are not "bots," nor Russian propaganda, but show very real people, that no longer want to be associated with what the Democratic Party has become. The Democratic party has been taken over. Abolish ICE, attacking police, open borders, encouraging mob violence, a Democratic socialist being called the "future" of the party, the outright online harassment campaigns against free speech, and the liberal big tech giants and social media platforms blatant censorship practices, are now the "normal" for the Democratic party. The moderate Democrats, we used to call them Blue Dogs, those conservatives disagreed with politically on social and fiscal issues, but never considered violently radical, need to decide here and now...... are they radical liberals? Do they stand hand-in-hand with party leaders that encourage the formation of mobs to publicly confront, many times violently, political opponents? Do they agree with censoring voices online simply because they disagree with the message? Do they approve the violence perpetrated by Antifa against those they disagree with politically? If the answer is no..... they must #WalkAway because that is what the Democratic party now represents.

The Democratic Socialists of America Are Coming: Do They Represent America’s Future?

By Peter Barry Chowka August 8, 2018 Last Updated: August 9, 2018

News Analysis

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is the largest, most active, and fastest growing far-left socialist membership organization in the United States. It’s not a political party, but rather a tax-exempt 501(c)4 “activist” nonprofit that, according to the IRS, “must be operated exclusively to promote social welfare.” In the view of some observers, the DSA, in reality, has become a politicized vehicle to advance hardcore Marxism. Evidence for this can be found on its website. The DSA offers an online “Socialist School” course titled “A Basic Introduction to the Thought of Karl Marx.” Video taken at the DSA’s 2017 national convention shows attendees enthusiastically singing “The Internationale,” the musical expression of allegiance to the ideals of the Soviet Union and the October 1917 Bolshevik Revolution that brought the communists to power in Russia. In an email on Aug. 6, Diana West, the author of “American Betrayal” and a nationally syndicated columnist, commented: “It’s quite clear that DSA is both communist and Marxist—and ‘progressive’ and Alinskyite and Fabian as well—in the sense that all of these groups and factions seek to remake America according to the same socialist, centrally planned, varyingly totalitarian vision. “All of them would create the kind of tyranny that our founding fathers would have had to declare independence from all over again.” Rapid Growth It may seem surprising then to learn that the DSA has significantly increased its membership and its chapters, especially on or near college campuses in the United States. According to the New Yorker, “In 2016, the DSA had about five thousand members; today, there are more than forty-five thousand, and the median age has plummeted, from late sixties to early thirties.” The DSA’s surge in its dues-paying membership has been aided by, and advanced in tandem with, the increasingly radicalized resistance to President Donald Trump since his election in November 2016. After the DSA’s 2017 national convention, CNN described its members as “the new socialists [who] have podcasts, internet memes, and a vibrant independent media.” As of Aug. 7, the directory of DSA and YDS (Young Democratic Socialists of America) chapters and organizing committees listed 212 active chapters, across all 50 states and the District of Columbia. In 2016, according to the DSA, as cited by the Daily Wire, there were only 15 chapters. Running as Democrats The DSA burst on the national political scene in June after one of its members, 28-year-old Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, defeated 10-term incumbent Rep. Joe Crowley in a New York Democratic primary election for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Ocasio-Cortez’s victory, and the positive mainstream media attention accorded her, encouraged a number of other leftists running as Democrats, such as “Sex and the City” actress Cynthia Nixon, who is challenging Gov. Andrew Cuomo in September’s Democratic state primary, to openly declare themselves as socialists and members of the DSA. In recent years, the DSA has published a sophisticated and detailed plan on how it intends to increase its numbers and to position its members to run in elections as Democrats. The DSA’s national convention in 2017 adopted three goals. The first two, endorsing Medicare for All and supporting organized labor, were pro-forma. The third one, however, outlined a bold new proposal to elect open socialists by running them as Democrats. Last November, Politico quoted a DSA official, Daniel Moraff, who said: “We are here to win elections.” The official minutes of the 2017 DSA convention indicate that it “commits the NPC (National Political Committee) to expand the work of the National Electoral Committee in supporting chapters’ efforts to develop and run viable openly socialist candidates for office (either in Democratic primaries or as independents). Additionally, at the 2017 national convention, the “DSA passed a resolution by over two-thirds to call for total abolition of police and prisons.” On Aug. 3, the DSA wrote on its official Twitter account: “Democratic socialists don’t just want to fix capitalism, they want to replace it,” and then linked to an article about the DSA in In These Times subtitled “Democratic socialism is having a moment. From electing open socialists to ending capitalism.” The article, by Marianela D’Aprile, a member of the DSA’s NPC, notes: “We believe that we must replace capitalism with a system that puts both the economy and political decision-making under democratic control.” Endorsing Harassment In recent months, DSA members have actively participated in the public harassment of Trump administration officials, such as Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, and other Republican officeholders. In an op-ed in The Wall Steet Journal on July 11, former DSA member Michael S. Bernick wrote: “Today’s DSA endorses the anti-Trump ‘resistance’ tactics of personal harassment. Last week, a group stalked Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell as he left a Louisville, Ky., restaurant. The Louisville DSA chapter tweeted a video of the incident, noting that ‘several’ of its members participated. The national DSA then retweeted it from its verified account. One man in the video shouts: ‘We know where you live, too, Mitch!'” The DSA was the most prominent supporter of the radical Occupy ICE Portland tent encampment, which was shut by the city as a biohazard on Aug. 1, after largely being left alone for five weeks. The DSA continues to endorse the other ongoing Occupy ICE demonstrations and direct actions taking place in a dozen or more U.S. cities. Raising Money This summer, Ocasio-Cortez, occasionally joined by her mentor, socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), has embarked on a national grassroots tour to support and raise money for like-minded socialists running as Democrats. Last week in California, according to Politico, “[Ocasio-Cortez] starred in two sold-out fundraisers in San Francisco—one an exclusive $2,500-a-head event, the other a $27-per-person event that sold out in hours after it was announced on social media. Demand for the latter was so high that organizers said they changed the venue twice to accommodate larger crowds; they announced at evening’s end that it had raised $15,000, all via donations of under $50 from activist grass-roots followers.” Ultimately, the impact of the DSA and the far left on the Nov. 6 congressional midterm elections won’t become clear until Nov. 7 and afterward. Meanwhile, as many political analysts have noted, the strongest grassroots momentum leading up to the midterms appears to be with the far left—and the DSA. Michelle Goldberg, in a June 30 op-ed for The New York Times titled “The Millennial Socialists Are Coming,” says the DSA and its members “have no memory of the widespread failure of communism, but the failures of capitalism are all around them.” Concluding the article, Goldberg wrote: “There are more candidates like Ocasio-Cortez out there, and the Democrats should welcome them. It needs their youth and zeal and willingness to do the work of rebuilding the party as a neighborhood institution. And they’re coming, whether the party’s leadership likes it or not.” Follow Peter Barry Chowka on Twitter: @pchowka

Putin slams Pope Francis, “he’s not a man of God”

Russian President Vladimir Putin has slammed Pope Francis for pushing political ideology instead of running the whole church. Putin warned Pope Francis, saying that the leader ‘is not a man of God. “Pope Francis is using his platform to push a dangerous far-left political ideology on vulnerable people around the world, people who trust him because of his position,” Russian chief executive said. “If you look at what he (the Pope) says it’s clear that he is not a man of God. At least not the Christian God. Not the God of the Bible,” President Putin addresses the crowd at the Naval Cathedral of St. Nicholas in Kronstadt. “He dreams of a world government and a global communist system of repression,” the fiery leader added. “As we have seen before in communist states, this system is not compatible with Christianity.” In the past years, the Pontiff has become increasingly active in pushing the globalist agenda and far-left talking points upon the masses. Pope Francis even called for a global central bank and financial authority, and more recently he said “Americans need to be ruled by a world government as soon as possible for their own good.” The Catholic leader was also reported on referring the China’s “one child policy” for Western nations, as well as telling a congregation in Rome that having a personal relationship with Jesus is “dangerous and harmful.” Putin is a practicing Christian, he is not a Roman Catholic, and the pope is not his leader. Based on recent statements of the leader, Putin does not even consider Pope Francis to be Christian. The Russian leader is rarely openly critical of foreign leaders, instead preferring to use diplomacy to win people over to his side. However notorious globalists including George Soros, Jacob Rothschild and Bill Gates have received tongue lashings before, and now Pope Francis has joined their company.

Portland City Hall stormed, shutdown, by activists

Alt-left activists get violent in Portland resulting in the disruption of a city meeting and the injury of two security guards

By Shepard Ambellas - August 9, 2018

Alt-left activists who stormed Portland City Hall on Wednesday to take a stand against police brutality found themselves in a violent scuffle of their own which resulted in several arrests and injuries. During the aggressive confrontation, Mayor Ted Wheeler and others were forced to walk out of a scheduled meeting and find a more secure conference room in which no one was allowed to enter and two security guards suffered minor injuries from the conflict as reported by KTVZ 21. “One demonstrator, who was masked and wearing a baseball helmet, smashed a security guard over the head repeatedly with a megaphone. The guard was seen afterward clutching a bag of ice, a bruise beginning to form on his cheek.,” The Oregonian reported. “City Hall security chief Dorothy Elmore said she was also struck by a protester, in the arm.” Foul-mouthed activists could be heard yelling “F–you, F–you” at city officials who were brave enough to greet them at the building’s entrance. This all comes after a number of the ANTIFA-type communists were rounded up by the department during recent protests.

The Modern Day Nazis Are Taking Over: The Rise of the Social Media Gestapo

My father’s side of the family escaped the ravages of Nazi Germany. My German grandmother and my father made certain that I learned the lessons of oppression, discrimination and genocide very well. These principles were ingrained into my upbringing. At one time, German was the envy of most of the world. They had the best scientists, German education was outstanding and they were leaders in the arts. So how did a highly sophisticated educated and intelligent Germans fall victim to the corrupt Nazis which set the tone for genocide? More to the point of this article, does America need to fear the rise of the same totalitarianism that infested and destroyed Germany? The answer to this question has its roots in the demise of the legitimate church and the compromising of the media and both things are happening in today’s environment.. The Fallen Church German pastors stood at the Nazi rallies with their right arms extended chanting loyal phrases directed at Hitler. For these misguided so-called religious leaders, Hitler had replaced Jesus, and today’s people wonder if the anti-Christ could really gain a foothold in today’s world. What should have been the first line of defense was the most important betrayal of the American people. With few exceptions, the religious leaders cheered for Hitler in the midst of mass murder of Jews. Gypsies and homosexuals as well as the handicapped and the mentally ill. The German pastors, as a group, sacrificed spiritual integrity for political expediency and profit. Most of today’s church and their accompanying pastors are no better than the German pastors ho capitulated to Hitler. I remember a time in this country when the many in the pulpit would speak out against murderous abortions and the incessant attack upon the Christian family values of the modern American family. Those voices have grown silent. Today’s pastors are more concerned with preserving their 5013c tax exempt status which prevents them from taking political and moral stands. Metaphorically, today’s pastors are standing with their right arms raised toward the Nazis of the modern era. Silence is capitulation. But even the Nazi-era pastors have been outdone by the American pastors because most German pastors did not assist with death camp roundups. However, American pastors have crossed that line. Even the Nazis Didn’t Have Clergy Response Teams Many people in the independent media have reported that an estimated 28,000 pastors were recruited by FEMA/DHS, as part of the Clergy Response Team, and that their initial and primary training was to tell their flock to obey the DHS version of Romans 13. Romans 13, in the King James version of the Bible, begins: “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.” Romans 13:1 Many of us have been quick to point that this bastardization of the Romans 13 is designed to force compliance to government edicts who might not otherwise comply. Certainly all governments are not established by God. Were the governments of Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, all ordained by God? What about George the III? Most people in the independent media think that this is the extent of the threat posed by the existence of the Clergy Response Teams.  Romans 13 Is Just the Tip of the Iceberg Why do I bring up Romans 13? Because it is symbolic of the complete servitude that the remaining people in America will soon face and the Christian church is at the tip of the speer with regard to moving America into an unprecedented level of tyranny. Clergy Response Teams I have discovered that the Clergy Response Teams are taking on much more nefarious duties and it can be accurately stated that the pastors associated with the DHS/FEMA/Clergy Response Teams are going to be doing a whole lot more than encouraging their flock to obey the government. Several years ago, I conducted a telephonic interview with Pastor Walt Mansfield. Pastor Mansfield was among the first of the pastors recruited to become a part of the Clergy Response Team. The revelations he conveyed to me about this program had pastors doing a whole lot more than preaching Romans 13. But before going to the disturbing contents of the interview, let’s take a look at relevant legislation which helps to legitimize Pastor Mansfield’s outrageous claims. Background Legislation On December 31, 2011, President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) into law which in addition to allocating $662 billion to the Pentagon also contains a measure which allows U.S. citizens to be taken into custody and held indefinitely without ever being charged with a crime. This is Nazi style legislation. Not only can any citizen deemed a threat to “national security interests of the United States,” be held forever without receiving a trial, but the military will be the ones arresting those citizens. NDAA Section 1022, subsection c allows “(1) Detention under the law of war without trial until the end of the hostilities authorized by the Authorization for Use of Military Force.” The National Emergency Centers Act or HR 645 mandates the establishment of “national emergency centers” to be located on military installations for the purpose of to providing “temporary housing, medical, and humanitarian assistance to individuals and families dislocated due to an emergency or major disaster,” according to the bill. The legislation also states that the camps will be used to “provide centralized locations to improve the coordination of preparedness, response, and recovery efforts of government, private, and not-for-profit entities and faith-based organizations”. The bill also provides that the camps can be used to “meet other appropriate needs”, as determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security. This a Carte Blanche mandate that many fear could mean the forced detention of American citizens in the event of widespread rioting following a national emergency or a total economic collapse. Pastor Mansfield’s “Insider” Revelations Pastor Walter Mansfield was recruited to become a member of the Clergy Response Team which would operate under the control of NOVAD and DHS. Mansfield’s revelations about his experiences are stunning and concerning at the same time. Pastor Mansfield attended several briefings and he could barely believe his ears. He learned of the government’s plan to enact martial law as well as to implement forced population relocations. Mansfield emphasized that when martial law is enacted, the enforcement would be immediate. In other words, family members will be separated from each other and part of the training that the clergy received was how to comfort separated family members. Pastor Mansfield emphasized that the FEMA/DHS drills were predicated on bioterrorism. This is exactly what my relocated FEMA source told me before he and his family left. The pastors were trained to go to homes were people refused to be relocated by the authorities and their immediate job was to convince the reluctant to willingly go to the relocation camps. Ostensibly, this was to be done in lieu of sending in the SWAT teams. I asked Mansfield if FEMA camps were real and he stated that much of the clergy training focused around this scenario of pastors operating within the forced relocation centers. The main goal of a pastor assigned to a FEMA was to bring order and encourage compliance with DHS requests, hence, the emphasis on Romans 13. The pastors were forced to sign non-disclosure. Interesting, the pastors were told not to quote Scripture. The DHS document which was prepared for the pastors clearly stated that Scripture had been used to “oppress” people in the past and the presenters strongly discouraged the its use. Please see the following excerpt from one of the DHS training manuals: Healing Scripture and Prayer In the Pastoral Crisis Intervention “During a time of crisis people do go through a “crisis of faith.” Sometimes quick mention of God and scripture may not be helpful. As we all know the Scripture has been used to oppress, dominate and at the same time used for healing and reconciliation- renewing of relationship with God and people. If the pastor senses it is appropriate to use the scripture and prayer, it must carefully be done for healing of victims not to uphold pastoral authority.” (Page 14) In other words, all legitimate pastoral authority was abrogated by the pastors who participated in the roundup of American citizens. Also on page 14 of the same training document, pastors were admonished to avoid “Unhealthy God talk….” Specifically pastors are ordered to avoid using references to God when helping people cope with the loss of a loved one: “4. God must have needed him/her more than you.” “5. God never gives more than we can handle.“ Pastor Mansfield also revealed that pastors will be issued badges under the Clergy Response Team program. Any pastor not displaying the badge, indicating that they have been trained under these guidelines, will not be permitted into the established and designated “DHS safety zones”. This reminds me of the banishment of religious figures from Plymouth Colony who, in good conscience, refused to go along with some of the extremism of that day. Along these lines, the Clergy Response Team is also a “Kool-Aid drinking program”. Pastors are absolutely forbidden to publicly to speak about any aspect of the program. If you were to ask your pastor if they are a FEMA trained pastor, they will not likely tell you. Disturbingly, Pastor Mansfield reiterated several times that the number one job of these pastors is to calm down people and encourage their compliance within the people’s new surroundings. Pastor Mansfield also stated that pastors will be utilized as informants. This violates the legal privilege of confidentiality between pastor and church-goer, that is currently recognized by law. All church-goers can no longer trust the sanctity of personal confessions and revelations made to pastors, priests or rabbis’. This one illegal act by DHS completely undermines the Christian Church in America! America should heed this warning, even the Nazi-era pastors were not this compromised. The American church has been virtually compromised. When the American death camp roundups begin, the infrastructure for the participation of the church in the Great American Genocide have been put into place. The means of our enslavement and demise are merely awaiting circumstances to arise to set the church into motion to fulfill its New World Order mission. How do you know if your church and pastor are compromised? If your pastor has not vehemently condemned abortion as murder in the past month, then they are compromised. The Trigger Mechanisms for the Coming American Genocide In any genocide there are four prerequisite factors:

(1) The compromising and capitulation of key institutions such as the church and the media.

(2) The elimination of free speech so that the instruments of oppression cannot be identified for all to see. To be successful, the death blow to America must be largely unanticipated.

(3) The confiscation of guns so that people who are loyal to traditions of a country cannot defend themselves.

(4) Genocide commences after the people are placed in a catatonic state through the complete control of the media.

My German grandmother taught me that evil people will always seek to control the narrative. For the Nazis, they placed their people in a catatonic genocide by controlling the radio. Control of the media was easier in the 1930’s because there was no Internet or television. However, in today’s world 98% of the media falls under the control of 6 globalist corporations. The Cost of Resistance In the days of Nazi Germany, nonconformists were murdered or sent to concentration camps to be murdered.  In the days of Nazi Germany, children were utilized to spy on their parents for having improper political views. When the children turned in their parents, the parents were often publicly murdered to serve as an example to others as to what can happen when one resists. Today’s America is on the doorstep of participating in this brand of tyranny. Today’s Nazi, the extreme liberal left (eg Ocasio Cortez, Kevin De Leon, Dianne Feinstein, Elizabeth Warren) don’t need children to spy on their parents. They have the NSA and social media to do that for them. When the crackdown comes, the naughty and nice list has already been determined. The Modern Day Nazis Are At the Door James Dobson says it best when he recently wrote “We are not experiencing Nazi-like tyranny yet, but we are steadily being expected to think, speak, write and act in a prescribed manner in conformity with what is now called “political correctness.” The mainstream media has become a tool to influence elections and spread this belief system. Sadly, the rights handed down to us by our forefathers more than 200 years ago are gradually being overridden, ignored, contradicted or disregarded by the courts and legislatures. Alas, we are less free now than we were even five years ago. Along these lines, social media is imposing rigid Nazi like standards. Anything that praises Jesus or the economic accomplishments President Trump, must be banned. Keep speaking about these issues and the user’s social media accounts are terminated. In a tyrannical take over, the attack on the first Amendment always comes first and social media is leading the Nazi-style charge to destroy free speech. Facebook, Twitter and Google are undoubtedly today’s Nazis. Zuckerberg is Hess. Guns are next and when they are done coming for your guns, they will be coming for you. It is always the same pattern.

Indiana Church Removed From Building For Anti-LGBT Church Sign

A church in Indiana was booted from a building where it hosts its services for posting a sign which was deemed hate speech. The problem is, the church sign is rooted in Scripture. The Bible is very clear in regards to homosexuality and the LGBT community, in fact, scripture states that those involved with anything pertaining to sexual immorality will not inherit the kingdom of God. A church in Indiana posted on a sign outside of the church which read; “LGBTQ is a hate crime against God. Repent.” Shortly after that the church was told to remove themselves from the property. The Church claimed that it is trying to reach a particular group of people to bring them into a relationship with God. Church Elder Robert Sturges said concerning the purpose of the sign; “They’re being told in our culture that homosexuality, transvestites, lesbianism, and sexual immorality is OK. But the Bible clearly says that those who practice these things will not inherit the Kingdom of God. In fact, it warns them that the wrath of God will abide up on them.” Sturges is referring to 1 Corinthians 6:9-11: “9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.” Sturges further said that: “We do love them.” But we want to warn them that they are headed toward a cliff, and if they keep going that way, they’ll be destroyed. And that is what the sign is about.” While the sign itself is not a direct quote of scripture, it does represent a teaching of the Bible, which goes to show that soon enough, certain portions of scripture could be deemed hate speech. The result of which is a violation of the first amendment under the United States Constitution.

Putin slams Pope Francis, “he’s not a man of God”

Russian President Vladimir Putin has slammed Pope Francis for pushing political ideology instead of running the whole church. Putin warned Pope Francis, saying that the leader ‘is not a man of God. “Pope Francis is using his platform to push a dangerous far-left political ideology on vulnerable people around the world, people who trust him because of his position,” Russian chief executive said. “If you look at what he (the Pope) says it’s clear that he is not a man of God. At least not the Christian God. Not the God of the Bible,” President Putin addresses the crowd at the Naval Cathedral of St. Nicholas in Kronstadt. “He dreams of a world government and a global communist system of repression,” the fiery leader added. “As we have seen before in communist states, this system is not compatible with Christianity.” In the past years, the Pontiff has become increasingly active in pushing the globalist agenda and far-left talking points upon the masses. Pope Francis even called for a global central bank and financial authority, and more recently he said “Americans need to be ruled by a world government as soon as possible for their own good.” The Catholic leader was also reported on referring the China’s “one child policy” for Western nations, as well as telling a congregation in Rome that having a personal relationship with Jesus is “dangerous and harmful.” Putin is a practicing Christian, he is not a Roman Catholic, and the pope is not his leader. Based on recent statements of the leader, Putin does not even consider Pope Francis to be Christian. The Russian leader is rarely openly critical of foreign leaders, instead preferring to use diplomacy to win people over to his side. However notorious globalists including George Soros, Jacob Rothschild and Bill Gates have received tongue lashings before, and now Pope Francis has joined their company.

Portland City Hall stormed, shutdown, by activists

Alt-left activists get violent in Portland resulting in the disruption of a city meeting and the injury of two security guards

By Shepard Ambellas - August 9, 2018

Alt-left activists who stormed Portland City Hall on Wednesday to take a stand against police brutality found themselves in a violent scuffle of their own which resulted in several arrests and injuries. During the aggressive confrontation, Mayor Ted Wheeler and others were forced to walk out of a scheduled meeting and find a more secure conference room in which no one was allowed to enter and two security guards suffered minor injuries from the conflict as reported by KTVZ 21. “One demonstrator, who was masked and wearing a baseball helmet, smashed a security guard over the head repeatedly with a megaphone. The guard was seen afterward clutching a bag of ice, a bruise beginning to form on his cheek.,” The Oregonian reported. “City Hall security chief Dorothy Elmore said she was also struck by a protester, in the arm.” Foul-mouthed activists could be heard yelling “F–you, F–you” at city officials who were brave enough to greet them at the building’s entrance. This all comes after a number of the ANTIFA-type communists were rounded up by the department during recent protests.

The Modern Day Nazis Are Taking Over: The Rise of the Social Media Gestapo

My father’s side of the family escaped the ravages of Nazi Germany. My German grandmother and my father made certain that I learned the lessons of oppression, discrimination and genocide very well. These principles were ingrained into my upbringing. At one time, German was the envy of most of the world. They had the best scientists, German education was outstanding and they were leaders in the arts. So how did a highly sophisticated educated and intelligent Germans fall victim to the corrupt Nazis which set the tone for genocide? More to the point of this article, does America need to fear the rise of the same totalitarianism that infested and destroyed Germany? The answer to this question has its roots in the demise of the legitimate church and the compromising of the media and both things are happening in today’s environment.. The Fallen Church German pastors stood at the Nazi rallies with their right arms extended chanting loyal phrases directed at Hitler. For these misguided so-called religious leaders, Hitler had replaced Jesus, and today’s people wonder if the anti-Christ could really gain a foothold in today’s world. What should have been the first line of defense was the most important betrayal of the American people. With few exceptions, the religious leaders cheered for Hitler in the midst of mass murder of Jews. Gypsies and homosexuals as well as the handicapped and the mentally ill. The German pastors, as a group, sacrificed spiritual integrity for political expediency and profit. Most of today’s church and their accompanying pastors are no better than the German pastors ho capitulated to Hitler. I remember a time in this country when the many in the pulpit would speak out against murderous abortions and the incessant attack upon the Christian family values of the modern American family. Those voices have grown silent. Today’s pastors are more concerned with preserving their 5013c tax exempt status which prevents them from taking political and moral stands. Metaphorically, today’s pastors are standing with their right arms raised toward the Nazis of the modern era. Silence is capitulation. But even the Nazi-era pastors have been outdone by the American pastors because most German pastors did not assist with death camp roundups. However, American pastors have crossed that line. Even the Nazis Didn’t Have Clergy Response Teams Many people in the independent media have reported that an estimated 28,000 pastors were recruited by FEMA/DHS, as part of the Clergy Response Team, and that their initial and primary training was to tell their flock to obey the DHS version of Romans 13. Romans 13, in the King James version of the Bible, begins: “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.” Romans 13:1 Many of us have been quick to point that this bastardization of the Romans 13 is designed to force compliance to government edicts who might not otherwise comply. Certainly all governments are not established by God. Were the governments of Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, all ordained by God? What about George the III? Most people in the independent media think that this is the extent of the threat posed by the existence of the Clergy Response Teams.  Romans 13 Is Just the Tip of the Iceberg Why do I bring up Romans 13? Because it is symbolic of the complete servitude that the remaining people in America will soon face and the Christian church is at the tip of the speer with regard to moving America into an unprecedented level of tyranny. Clergy Response Teams I have discovered that the Clergy Response Teams are taking on much more nefarious duties and it can be accurately stated that the pastors associated with the DHS/FEMA/Clergy Response Teams are going to be doing a whole lot more than encouraging their flock to obey the government. Several years ago, I conducted a telephonic interview with Pastor Walt Mansfield. Pastor Mansfield was among the first of the pastors recruited to become a part of the Clergy Response Team. The revelations he conveyed to me about this program had pastors doing a whole lot more than preaching Romans 13. But before going to the disturbing contents of the interview, let’s take a look at relevant legislation which helps to legitimize Pastor Mansfield’s outrageous claims. Background Legislation On December 31, 2011, President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) into law which in addition to allocating $662 billion to the Pentagon also contains a measure which allows U.S. citizens to be taken into custody and held indefinitely without ever being charged with a crime. This is Nazi style legislation. Not only can any citizen deemed a threat to “national security interests of the United States,” be held forever without receiving a trial, but the military will be the ones arresting those citizens. NDAA Section 1022, subsection c allows “(1) Detention under the law of war without trial until the end of the hostilities authorized by the Authorization for Use of Military Force.” The National Emergency Centers Act or HR 645 mandates the establishment of “national emergency centers” to be located on military installations for the purpose of to providing “temporary housing, medical, and humanitarian assistance to individuals and families dislocated due to an emergency or major disaster,” according to the bill. The legislation also states that the camps will be used to “provide centralized locations to improve the coordination of preparedness, response, and recovery efforts of government, private, and not-for-profit entities and faith-based organizations”. The bill also provides that the camps can be used to “meet other appropriate needs”, as determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security. This a Carte Blanche mandate that many fear could mean the forced detention of American citizens in the event of widespread rioting following a national emergency or a total economic collapse. Pastor Mansfield’s “Insider” Revelations Pastor Walter Mansfield was recruited to become a member of the Clergy Response Team which would operate under the control of NOVAD and DHS. Mansfield’s revelations about his experiences are stunning and concerning at the same time. Pastor Mansfield attended several briefings and he could barely believe his ears. He learned of the government’s plan to enact martial law as well as to implement forced population relocations. Mansfield emphasized that when martial law is enacted, the enforcement would be immediate. In other words, family members will be separated from each other and part of the training that the clergy received was how to comfort separated family members. Pastor Mansfield emphasized that the FEMA/DHS drills were predicated on bioterrorism. This is exactly what my relocated FEMA source told me before he and his family left. The pastors were trained to go to homes were people refused to be relocated by the authorities and their immediate job was to convince the reluctant to willingly go to the relocation camps. Ostensibly, this was to be done in lieu of sending in the SWAT teams. I asked Mansfield if FEMA camps were real and he stated that much of the clergy training focused around this scenario of pastors operating within the forced relocation centers. The main goal of a pastor assigned to a FEMA was to bring order and encourage compliance with DHS requests, hence, the emphasis on Romans 13. The pastors were forced to sign non-disclosure. Interesting, the pastors were told not to quote Scripture. The DHS document which was prepared for the pastors clearly stated that Scripture had been used to “oppress” people in the past and the presenters strongly discouraged the its use. Please see the following excerpt from one of the DHS training manuals: Healing Scripture and Prayer In the Pastoral Crisis Intervention “During a time of crisis people do go through a “crisis of faith.” Sometimes quick mention of God and scripture may not be helpful.

Along these lines, the Clergy Response Team is also a “Kool-Aid drinking program”. Pastors are absolutely forbidden to publicly to speak about any aspect of the program.

Monstrous Terror Plot Thwarted In Canada: Jihadists Had Enough Chemical Weapon To Kill Every Person In North America

- Why Isn't The Canadian Government Talking About This?

August 9, 2018 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

In this new story over at Ammoland Shooting Sports News they report upon a very large elephant in the room in Canada, and thus North America, that everybody has missed regarding the recent terror attack in Toronto that resulted in the deaths of 2 with 13 injured. Less than a year earlier, one Fahad Hussain, the brother of Toronto terrorist Faisal Hussain, had the home where he had lived raided by police who found not only 33 guns but 42 kilograms of Carfentanil, a drug called 100 times more dangerous than Fentanyl. As the Ammoland story reports, while discovered by drug dealers, Carfentanil can also be used as a chemical weapon and can be purchased online and has been banned from battlefield use by the Chemical Weapons Convention. And while nowhere near as well known as Fentanyl and the rash of deaths it has caused to drug users all across America, Ammoland reports the amount of Carfentanil found in the home of the Toronto terrorist's brother last September was the equivalent of 2.1 billion FATAL doses of the drug. And while the government of Toronto and in Canada have been attempting to sweep the Carfentanil and gun stash that was found under the rug, labeling it as 'run-of-the-mill' drug dealing, the Ammoland story wisely points out: What 'run-of-the-mill drug dealer' can sell 2.1 billion doses of ANY drug, much less something as lethal and deadly as Carfentanil? Suggesting in their story that the Carfentanil was meant for something else other than being sold by drug dealers to drug users, Ammoland then went on to drop this absolute bombshell.: Hussain and Maisum Ansari (owner of home where Hussain had lived) possessed enough poison to kill the entire Greater Toronto Area (GTA) 328 times over, or enough to kill the entire population of Canada 58 times. And the government does not want to talk about this terrorist plot. Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale is on record saying the Danforth killer was not known to his ministry. That’s possible, but very unlikely. With a brother in possession of enough poison to kill the entire country dozens of times over, the odds of the Danforth killer NOT being on federal radar are pretty small. In fact, 2.1 billion fatal doses of Carfentanil is enough to kill every person in North America several times over with the current population of North America just over 500 million people according to Wikipedia. And while that hugely unreported story happened in Canada, as we see detailed within the rest of this ANP story, what much of the mainstream media have long called a 'conspiracy theory' has once again been confirmed here in America. According to this August 6th story over at the Daily Mail, a heavily armed extremist Muslim compound was recently broken up in the state of New Mexico with three Islamic mothers being arrested for abusing and starving their 11 children and as this new story over at Fox News reports, the father of a missing 3-year-old who was arrested at a New Mexico compound linked to "extremist Muslims" last week was training children to commit school shootings, court documents filed on Wednesday revealed. How many more such 'compounds' are there in America? We may never find out due to the 8 years of the administration of Barack Obama in which none other than Robert Mueller had all materials pertaining to Islamic terrorism purged from the training manuals of federal law enforcement according to this 2017 Conservative Review story. While Mic News wrote a story back in 2016 in which they reported then President-elect Donald Trump was fueling bizarre conspiracy theories about Barack Obama actually protecting 22 Islamic training camps here in America and that he'd eventually use them to attack President Trump, what happened to all of the guns and billions of rounds of ammo that Obama purchased, allegedly for federal government agencies that had no need for them? As we hear in the 2nd video below from videographer JB Gunner TV, the entire illegal immigration battle that is now going on is about so much more than just 'immigration'. With Barack Obama's 'open doors to terrorists' policy for 8 years allowing practically anybody who wanted to come into America to get in here, how many more such 'camps' or 'cells' that were found in New Mexico and Toronto are still active and undiscovered? And how many jihadists who were able to legally enter Canada might have their end game be an easy trip over the US/Canadian border to get into the US when their country may have been one of those blocked by President Trump's current immigration order? With Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau having already fully capitulated to Islam and the globalists agenda and Canada coddling terrorists, what happened last September in Canada when police thankfully found enough chemical weapon to kill every human being in North America should be a wake up call. As we had reported on ANP back on August 6th, pro-ISIS media is now calling for their followers to carry out biological attacks on the West, nearly a year after that massive cache of deadly Carfentanil was discovered.

Female terrorists '4 times deadlier than men'

'These joined extremist groups to give purpose to their lives and effect change'

Published: 22 hours ago

Male Muslim terrorists have killed innocent bystanders in Paris, London, Boston, Orlando and many other places. But watch out for the women. That’s one of the messages in a new book, “Invisible Martyrs: Inside the Secret World of Female Islamic Radicals,” by Farhana Qazi, the first Muslim woman and the first American Muslim to join the U.S. government Counter-Terrorism Center. It was reviewed by Abigail R. Esman on the website for the Investigative Project on Terror. “Understanding the threat of women terrorists has never been more critical,” Esman writes. “Not only are more women joining jihadist groups, thanks in large part to internet recruiters and the outreach of ISIS operatives, but women, Qazi reports, can be even more destructive than men. “‘Not only are they less conspicuous, thanks in part to burqas and other body-coverings, but ‘on average,’ she writes, women have ‘killed four times more people than male operatives,'” writes Esman. Tashfeen Malik became the first female Muslim terrorist to hit on U.S. shores when she and her husband, Syed Farook, killed 14 in San Bernardino, California, in 2015. The author of the book, Qazi, writes: “I discovered that some viewed violence as a weapon of choice. They believed in the radical interpretations of Islam. These women joined extremist groups to give purpose to their lives and effect change: to rewrite the future, to say I am within the boundaries set by men, to cleanse an unwanted past, to fall into favor with God, to cast away something broken or bruised or scraped, to push beyond the limits of their gender, to find a like-minded lover, or to experience the connection that a woman feels when she joins a sisterhood.” The book contends some women engage in violent jihad because of the ostracism that comes with “so-called honor crimes” and their rights being “dictated by a patriarchy of irrational and ignorant men, many of whom support the radical interpretation of Islam – the barbarism, the beastly action, and a culture of humiliation and shame narrated by violent extremists.” Qazi says these same men “prey on vulnerable women, who are misguided, misinformed, and mistaken, incapable of differentiating the universal values of love that the Quran promotes from the teachings of corrupt, crooked men with blood on their hands.” Some women, she said, choose violence to avenge the loss of a husband or child. “Qazi explores the stories of multiple women, from Rania Ibrahim, who was 15 years old in 2008 when her aunt and mother – both al-Qaida members – strapped her into a suicide vest in Baghdad, to the three Sudanese- and Somali-American girls from Denver, Colorado, apprehended in 2014 as they tried to reach the Islamic State,” the review explains. Authorities believe the Denver teens were radicalized online, and the book considers whether “the social isolation that Muslim girls and women often feel” is a factor. “This is also true of converts, who can be especially vulnerable to Islamist suitors, recruiters for terrorist groups who prey on naïve and largely uninformed young women, promising them love and happiness if they only give themselves to Allah,” the review said.

Barack Hussein Obama: Con Man And Criminal Admits He Is Foreign-Born

Aug 08, 2018 Read More Articles by Bradlee Dean

“Three years ago, I visited Kenya as The first sitting president to come from Kenya.” -Barack Hussein Obama While many Americans are still waiting on indictments and prosecution of the Clintons, and rightfully so, don’t forget about the crimes of Barrack Hussein Obama who has yet to be lawfully dealt with as well. This criminal not only was given a free hand by the American people to transgress the United States Constitution 1,180 times, but he had the audacity to play it down by lying (John 8:44) over and over again that he was not a foreign-born citizen. As a matter of fact anyone who dared point out that he was a foreigner (I was one of them) and ineligible for the presidency of the United States (Article 2, Clause 5) was called by the CIA-controlled media, today’s conservatives (yesterday’s lawless liberals) and the professed Christians, a conspiracy theorist or a “birther.” Names, of course, were used to demean and discredit anyone and everyone that dared call out the obvious when it came to Barack Hussein Obama because they were unwilling to deal with him themselves. I guess that when the foreign criminal served 143 days in the Illinois Senate, and mysteriously becomes the United States President, then takes a break after his “57 state U.S. Tour”, you would think that was enough to tell on himself, and the American people would then lawfully respond. Apparently not! Instead of putting a stop to his campaign run, the American people simply laughed it off so they themselves did not have to lift a finger to put a stop to this criminal (Jeremiah 5:19). [YouTube Video] Even when his wife (?) blurted out the truth in her confusion, that was not good enough for Americans. They still ignored his ineligibility. Think of this, even with all of the information concerning Barack’s falsified birth certificate, his falsified social security numbers, and his falsified college records all filed way, literally every conservative radio talking head or otherwise avoided to confront and address the issue concerning this criminal’s eligibility. They literally stayed as far away from the topic as they possibly could. Cowards! Even when Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s team clearly exposed the fraudulent document for what it was, and is, the conservatives were found to be derelict of duty when it came to taking a stand against the crimes of Barrack Hussein Obama’s criminal administration, even while all the well knowing that Barack’s effeminate and criminal czars were entertaining America’s sworn enemies within the people’s White House (Jeremiah 5:31). [YouTube Video] And of course, now that Barack Hussein Obama finally admits to the truth that he is foreign-born, you can rest assured that today’s conservatives will remain silent, hoping that you just forget that they are just as treasonous to you and your country as Barack Hussein Obama (Luke 22:48).

BOOM! GIULIANI: “This Case Isn’t Going to Fizzle, It’s Going to BLOW UP ON THEM! There’s a LOT MORE to What They Did That Nobody Knows About Yet! “

Jim Hoft by Jim Hoft August 8, 2018

Former New York City Mayor and Trump Attorney Rudy Giuliani joined Sean Hannity on Wednesday night to discuss the endless Mueller witch hunt. Rudy Giuliani told Sean Hannity President Trump will not sit with Mueller in a perjury trap. He then directed his comments to Robert Mueller: “Stop the nonsense! You are trying to trap him because you don’t have a case!” Rudy Giuliani: The real story here is not that this case is going to fizzle. It’s going to BLOW UP on them! The real question is what we talked about before. There’s a lot more to what they did that nobody knows about yet. A lot more to the obstruction of justice , to the collusion, to the fake dossier. Sean Hannity: Oh, I know a lot. Rudy Giuliani: To try to bring Steele back in when he was completely discredited… And Mueller is going to have a lot to answer for. I said a long time ago the investigation here has to be on the investigators. Cuz we can’t let this happen again in America. Via Hannity:

Rudy Giuliani: Robert Mueller is Now Implicated in Collusion and Soft Coup Attempt….

Posted on August 8, 2018 by sundance

Interesting. As previously said: the biggest takeaway from the documents today, showing the 2017 communication between Christopher Steele and Bruce Ohr, is the fact that Steele viewed Robert Mueller as part of the soft coup team. In this interview Rudy Giuliani goes further than ever before in calling out the nature of the DOJ/FBI investigation; and specifically outlining the Robert Mueller team as part of the larger conspiracy group to take-down President Donald Trump. According to Giuliani this information/evidence will surface over the next year to year-and-a-half, and will lead to a fundamental change in the institutions of the Department of Justice and FBI.

AMALIA, N.M. --

The father of a missing Georgia boy was training children at a New Mexico compound to commit school shootings, prosecutors said in court documents obtained Wednesday, as authorities waited to learn if human remains found at the site were those of the boy. The documents say Siraj Ibn Wahhaj was conducting weapons training with assault rifles at the compound near the Colorado border where authorities say they found 11 hungry children living in filthy conditions in a raid Friday. RELATED: 11 starving children rescued from New Mexico compound, 5 adults arrested Prosecutor Timothy Hasson filed the court documents while asking that Wahhaj be held without bail after he was arrested last week with four other adults facing child abuse charges. "He poses a great danger to the children found on the property as well as a threat to the community as a whole due to the presence of firearms and his intent to use these firearms in a violent and illegal manner," Hasson wrote. Prosecutors did not bring up the school shooting accusation in court on Wednesday during an initial appearance by the abuse suspects. A judge ordered Wahhaj held without bond pending further proceedings. In the court documents, authorities said a foster parent of one of the 11 children removed from the compound had told authorities that the child had been trained to use an assault rifle in preparation for a school shooting. Authorities say human remains found at the compound were being analyzed by medical examiners to determine if they are those of Abdul-ghani Wahhaj, who is severely disabled and went missing in December in Jonesboro, Georgia, near Atlanta. In a Georgia arrest warrant, authorities said the father had told the boy's mother that he wanted to perform an exorcism on the child because he believed he was possessed by the devil. He later said he was taking the child to a park and didn't return.  The father was among those arrested at the compound. He is accused in Georgia of kidnapping the boy and a warrant for his arrest was issued. The warrant said the missing boy had severe medical issues, including a defect caused by lack of oxygen and blood flow around the time of birth. It said he cannot walk and requires constant attention. For months, neighbors worried about the squalid compound built along a remote New Mexico plain, saying they took their concerns to authorities months before sheriff's officials raided the encampment, described as a small camping trailer in the ground. Authorities said during the raid Friday that they had found the father armed with multiple firearms, including an assault rifle. They also said they believed there was a shooting range on the site. The group arrived in Amalia in December, with enough money to buy groceries and construction supplies, according to Tyler Anderson, a 41-year-old auto mechanic who lives nearby. He said he helped the newcomers install solar panels after they arrived but eventually stopped visiting. Anderson said he met both of the men in the group, but never the women, who authorities have said are the mothers of the 11 children, ages 1 to 15. Anderson did not recall seeing the Georgia boy who was missing. But he said some of the smaller children from the compound turned up to play with children at neighboring properties after the group first arrived. "We just figured they were doing what we were doing, getting a piece of land and getting off the grid," Anderson said. As the months passed, however, they stopped seeing the smaller children playing in the area. They also stopped hearing guns fired off at a shooting range on the property, he said. Jason Badger, who owned the property where the compound was built, said he and his wife had pressed authorities to remove the group after becoming concerned about the children. The group had built the compound on their acreage instead of a neighboring tract owned by Lucas Morton, one of the men arrested during the raid. "I started to try and kick them off about three months ago and everything I tried to do kept getting knocked down," said Badger said. A judge dismissed an eviction notice filed by Badger against Morton in June, court records said. The records did not provide further details on the judge's decision. After the raid, Anderson went over and looked at the property for the first time in months. "I was flabbergasted from what it had turned into from the last time I saw it," he said.

China Shutting Down Churches, Seizing Bibles in 'Ambitious New Effort' to Eradicate Religion

Michael Foust | ChristianHeadlines.com Contributor | Tuesday, August 7, 2018

China is in the midst of an “ambitious new effort” to lesson or even eradicate the influence of Christianity and religion from the country, according to an investigation by the Associated Press. An in-depth story by AP described churches being shut down, Bibles being seized and restrictions being placed on other religions, too. Crescents have been removed from mosques and Tibetan children removed from Buddhist temples and placed in public schools. One Christian named Guo described an incident in which Chinese officials interrupted a church meeting and told everyone to leave. They then ordered church leaders to remove a cross, a Bible verse and a painting of the Last Supper off the wall. Guo didn’t give his full name out of fear of government repercussions. “I've always prayed for our country's leaders, for our country to get stronger,” he told AP. “They were never this severe before, not since I started going to church in the 80's. Why are they telling us to stop now?” In recent months, Chinese authorities have:

Shut down hundreds of Christian house churches.

Seized Bibles and forced e-commerce retailers to stop selling Bibles.

Prevented children from attending church in some areas.

Urged Christians in one location to replace posters of Jesus with pictures of President Xi Jinping.

Raided church meetings and interrogated hundreds of Christians from one congregation.

The AP story further said that under Xi, Christians “are seeing their freedoms shrink dramatically even as the country undergoes a religious revival.” Experts said Xi is “waging the most severe systematic suppression of Christianity in the country since religious freedom was written into the Chinese constitution in 1982,” according to AP. The goal is to “Sinicize” the nation’s religions with “Chinese characteristics.” First among these is loyalty to the Communist Party. “Xi is a closet Maoist -- he is very anxious about thought control,” Willy Lam of the Chinese University of Hong Kong told AP. “He definitely does not want people to be faithful members of the church, because then people would profess their allegiance to the church rather than to the party, or more exactly, to Xi himself.”

Trump Revives Iran Sanctions

Monday, 06 August 2018 12:03 PM

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday reimposing many sanctions on Iran, three months after pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal, saying the U.S. policy is to levy "maximum economic pressure" on the country. In a statement, Trump said the 2015 international accord to freeze Iran's nuclear program in return for lifting sanctions was a "horrible, one-sided deal" and said it left the Iranian government flush with cash to use to fuel conflict in the Middle East. "We urge all nations to take such steps to make clear that the Iranian regime faces a choice: either change its threatening, destabilizing behavior and reintegrate with the global economy, or continue down a path of economic isolation," Trump said. Trump warned that those who don't wind down their economic ties to Iranian "risk severe consequences" under the reimposed sanctions. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says renewed U.S. sanctions on Iran will be rigorously enforced and remain in place until the Iranian government radically changes course. Speaking to reporters en route from a three-nation trip to Southeast Asia, Pompeo said Monday's reimposition of some sanctions is an important pillar in U.S. policy toward Iran. He said the Trump administration is open to looking beyond sanctions but that would "require enormous change" from Tehran. "We're hopeful that we can find a way to move forward but it's going to require enormous change on the part of the Iranian regime," he said Sunday. "They've got to behave like a normal country. That's the ask. It's pretty simple." European foreign ministers said Monday they "deeply regret" the reimposition of U.S. sanctions. A statement by European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini and foreign ministers of France, Germany and the United Kingdom insisted that the 2015 Iran nuclear deal "is working and delivering on its goal" of limiting Iran's nuclear program. The ministers said the Iran deal is "crucial for the security of Europe, the region and the entire world." A senior administration official said the United States is "not particularly concerned" by EU efforts to protect European firms from the reimposition of sanctions. The official was not authorized to discuss the matter by name and spoke Monday on condition of anonymity. The European Union issued a "blocking statute" Monday to protect European businesses from the impact of the sanctions. The official says the U.S. will use the sanctions aggressively and cited Iran's severe economic downturn this year as evidence the sanctions would prove to be effective despite opposition from the EU, China and Russia. Pompeo called the Iranian leadership "bad actors" and said Trump is intent on getting them to "behave like a normal country." A first set of U.S. sanctions that had been eased by the Obama administration under the terms of the landmark 2015 Iran nuclear deal took effect on Monday, following Trump's May decision to withdraw from the accord. Those sanctions target Iran's automotive sector as well as gold and other metals. A second batch of U.S sanctions targeting Iran's oil sector and central bank will be reimposed in early November. Pompeo noted that the U.S has long designated Iran as the world's foremost state sponsor of terrorism and said it cannot expect to be treated as an equal in the international community until it halts such activities. "Perhaps that will be the path the Iranians choose to go down," he said. "But there's no evidence today of a change in their behavior." In the meantime, he said, "we're going to enforce the sanctions."

Israel pounds Hamas after 19 injured in rocket barrage, one critical

IDF strikes over 100 Hamas terror targets after over 150 projectiles fired towards southern Israel

By Anna Ahronheim August 8, 2018 20:31

IDF strikes 12 Hamas terror sites, including a factory used to manufacture tunnels and a maritime terror tunnel shaft, August 8, 2018 (IDF Spokesperson's Unit) The Israel Air Force retaliated by striking targets in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday evening after 19 people were treated for injuries resulting form rocket attacks from Gaza against southern Israel. A rocket hit Eshkol Regional Council at 06:00 am Thursday, critically injuring a 30 year old woman and lightly wounding another man from shrapnel. Following the barrages throughout the night, the IAF struck over 100 terror targets including a plant used to manufacture components intended for the construction of tunnels as well as a tunnel for maritime terrorism along Israel’s coast. A number of terror targets in several military sites, including weapons and rockets, as well as a military compound that serves as a central logistic warehouse were also hit by IAF jets. Red Alert sirens continued to sound in the South throughout the night, with the latest salvo fired at 05:45 am Thursday morning. Hamas issued a statement saying: “We are delivering on our promise. The resistance accepted the responsibility to even the playing field with the enemy and it is succeeding in doing so.” According to the IDF, over 150 projectiles were launched from the Hamas-run enclave as of early Thursday morning; 25 were intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system. Prime Minister Binjamin Netanyahu with Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman held a security assessment with senior military and defense officials at the IDF Kirya Headquarters in Tel Aviv following the initial rocket barrage. According to Barzilai Medical Center, six people were treated for body injuries and nine people were treated for shock. Four of the projectiles fell in Sderot. A 34 year old was in light-to-moderate condition with wounds from glass shards and a 20 year old was in light condition with injuries to his limbs from Iron Dome shrapnel. Civilians were treated at the scene after suffering from stress, including two pregnant women who started having contractions. Two homes in Sderot were also reportedly hit by the shrapnel, as well as a home in Hof Ashkelon. Several cars were also damaged, as was a factory in Sderot. The rocket fire from Gaza came shortly after an IDF tank struck Hamas posts in Gaza after shots were fired across the border towards civilian engineering vehicles working on the IDF’s underground barrier with the coastal enclave. At least one Gazan citizen was reported injured. “Terrorists shot at civilian vehicles that were being used in an effort to construct the barrier around the security fence in the northern Gaza Strip. One vehicle was hit,” the IDF said. Earlier on Wednesday, the IDF closed several roads near the Gaza border after warning that it was concerned about a retaliatory attack by Hamas after two of its elite members were killed in an IDF strike on Tuesday. According to the IDF, Route 25 and several other smaller roads were closed after Hamas was identified as having cleared several military positions along the border and threats made by the group. The rocket fire also comes as a senior Hamas official said that UN and Egyptian-mediated cease-fire talks between the terror group and Israel have reached “advanced stages,” with a deal expected to be signed soon. “We can say that actions led by the United Nations and Egypt are in advanced stages and we hope it could yield some good from them,” Khalil Al-Hayya, deputy Hamas chief in Gaza, told Al Jazeera television. “What is required is for calm to be restored along the border between us and the Zionist enemy (Israel).” On Sunday, Israel’s Security Cabinet met to discuss the proposed cease-fire agreement. The Prime Minister’s Office released a statement afterward saying that the IDF was ready for any eventuality. Despite the cease-fire talks, dozens of fires have ignited following the continued launching of aerial incendiary devices into southern Israel. In response, IDF aircraft have continued to strike the cells launching the devices. Hundreds of such devices have been launched towards Israel since late March when Gazans began weekly protests along the border with Israel. The protests have been called the greatest threat to Israeli security in the region since Operation Protective Edge in 2014, due to the combination of terror tunnels, riots, attempted infiltration and the use of incendiary items. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, 158 Gazans have been killed since the start of the weekly “March of Return.”

Trump's 'Space Force' meeting resistance in Pentagon, insiders say

By Ben Wolfgang - The Washington Times - Wednesday, August 8, 2018

The Pentagon is moving ahead with President Trump’s call to establish a “Space Force” as a potential sixth branch of the U.S. armed forces, with top officials scrambling to tamp down reports of disagreement between military leaders and the White House ahead of a high-profile speech Thursday by Vice President Mike Pence. Mr. Pence, the administration’s liaison with the Defense Department on the coming Space Force, will address reporters at the Pentagon on Thursday and is expected to formally release an internal military review of what it will take to create the new command. But analysts and former military officials say the concept of a formal Space Force and the push to establish it quickly are being driven almost entirely by the White House and its allies on Capitol Hill, and that a skeptical Pentagon is grudgingly going along with the plan amid political pressure from the other side of the Potomac. Indeed, insiders say the fact that the Pentagon delayed its long-awaited study on setting up a Space Force — initially scheduled to be released last week — could be evidence of behind-the-scenes dissension between military leaders and political officials inside the Trump administration. More broadly, specialists argue the entire concept of a Space Force as a wholly separate branch of the military is one that many Defense Department officials privately don’t support, but that they’re being strong-armed by an administration eager to make a lasting mark on U.S. military doctrine and to further cement American dominance in space. One reason for the resistance — a fear the Space Force will take resources and budget dollars away from existing service branches and dilute their operational authority. For the Air Force, the realignment could mean surrendering control of existing space assets, satellites, launch sites and other ground operations to the new command. Parts of the other services would be shifted as well. “At this point I think it is becoming clear that DoD and the Air Force are not in the driver’s seat when it comes to this issue,” said Todd Harrison, director of the Aerospace Security Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Bridging the divide  Mr. Pence’s widely anticipated speech Thursday — coupled with supportive comments earlier this week from Defense Secretary James Mattis — are part of an effort to present a united front and to demonstrate that there’s no daylight between the military and the political leadership in the White House. “Absolutely we need to address space as a developing war-fighting domain,” Mr. Mattis told reporters earlier this week. “We’ll get it right. We’ll work it through the Congress. We have the direction from the president and we’re underway.” Mr. Mattis added that he’s been in close consultation with Mr. Pence, who heads the White House’s National Space Council, and other top administration officials. The defense chief’s recent remarks represent a clear change of heart from just a year ago, when Mr. Mattis in a letter to Congress expressed doubt about the wisdom of a separate military branch to fight in space. “At a time when we are trying to integrate the department’s joint war-fighting functions, I do not wish to add a separate service that would likely present a narrower and even parochial approach to space operations,” Mr. Mattis wrote last year. Mr. Mattis now suggests that he favors setting up the Space Force as a unified command, such as U.S. Central Command, rather than an independent branch. That differs from what the president has said he wants. Mr. Trump earlier this year explicitly called for the Space Force to become the sixth branch of the military, on equal footing with the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Air Force. Such a massive overhaul — which would constitute the first new branch of the military since the Air Force was formally created in 1947 — would have to be approved by Congress. Lawmakers also would have to hash out a complicated funding arrangement, and would surely have to move money currently allocated to the Air Force Space Command and other arms of the military to the new Space Force. It’s also unclear exactly how popular the idea is in Congress. Some lawmakers — such as Rep. Mike Rogers, Alabama Republican who chairs the House subcommittee on strategic forces — are outspoken supporters of the proposal. Most lawmakers, however, haven’t explicitly endorsed Mr. Trump’s plan, and setting up a Space Force on equal footing with the other branches surely would be a long slog on Capitol Hill. The entire process, specialists say, would take years. Under a best-case scenario, the Space Force as a separate military branch could be operational sometime in the early-to-middle part of next decade. “Congress won’t take this up in legislation until next year in the [fiscal year 2020 defense spending bill] and that likely won’t become law until late next year,” Mr. Harrison said. “If that bill includes language creating a Space Force, then it will probably be another year before the Space Force initially stands up. So now we are talking about late 2020 or early 2021, and then another couple of years before the transition is completed.” A potential compromise In the meantime, Defense Department officials seem to be moving ahead with a slightly less ambitious plan. Citing a draft copy of the looming Space Force report, Defense One reported last week that the Pentagon plans to announce a strategy that would make the Space Force its own combatant command and create a new joint military agency responsible for buying space-based weaponry and satellites, among other initiatives. Many retired military officials say that’s the right first step, as it would allow Mr. Trump and Mr. Pence to achieve the political and policy goal of a force to pursue U.S. space dominance while not completely upending the military bureaucracy or standing up a Space Force branch prematurely. “This scratches the president’s itch,” said retired Air Force Lt. Gen. David Deptula, now the dean of the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies. “It meets his intent on ensuring war-fighting dominance in space … and it does it without significant risk to everything that’s been done to get us to where we are today.” The heart of the matter, Gen. Deptula and many other observers argue, is whether a separate Space Force would actually lead to anything tangible. Critics say the U.S. military already is at the cutting edge of what it can do in space, and that while a unified command could help centralize space-related efforts from across the Defense Department, a new branch is totally unnecessary. “What is it we’re trying to fix?” Gen. Deptula said. “We are the world’s preeminent space force today. We are the world’s preeminent space power today. And we got here with a lot of hard work and effort and dedication by many men and women in the Department of Defense, principally the U.S. Air Force. What is it that’s broken?”

The Crackdown Continues: Twitter Suspends Libertarian Accounts, Including Ron Paul Institute Director

by Tyler Durden Tue, 08/07/2018 - 21:55

One day after what appeared to be a coordinated attack by media giants Facebook, Apple, Spotify and Google on Alex Jones, whose various social media accounts were banned or suspended in a matter of hours, the crackdown against alternative media figures continued as several Libertarian figures, including the Ron Paul Institute director, found their Twitter accounts suspended. On Monday, Twitter suspended the editorial director of antiwar.com Scott Horton, former State Department employee Peter Van Buren, and Dan McAdams, the executive director of the Ron Paul Institute. Horton was reportedly disciplined for the use of "improper language" against journalist Jonathan M. Katz, he said in a brief statement, while McAdams was suspended for retweeting him, he said. Past tweets in both accounts were available to the public at the time of the writing, unlike the account of Van Buren, which was fully suspended. According to TargetLiberty, Horton and McAdams fell victim of Twitter’s suspension algorithm after objecting to Katz’s quarrel with Van Buren over an earlier interview. The suspensions come days after Twitter suspended black conservative Candace Owen from Twitter for highlighting the algorithmic hypocrisy of Twitter by replacing the word “white” with “Jewish” in a series of tweets modeled on those by New York Times editor Sarah Jeong. just after controversial conservative Alex Jones, and his podcast InfoWars, were kicked out from most social media platforms, prompting conservative to accuse the social networks of collusion in a collective crackdown on non-mainstream voices. The Silicon Valley giants were criticized by the US political establishment for failing to prevent alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Meanwhile, critics now say the pressured media giants are engaging in political censorship, using their market dominance and lack of legislated neutrality requirements to target descent voices ahead of the midterm elections. In a scathing op-ed on Tuesday, Nigel Farage wrote that "while many on the libertarian right and within the conservative movement have their issues with Alex Jones and InfoWars, this week’s announcement by YouTube, Facebook, Apple, and Spotify represents a concerted effort of proscription and censorship that could just as soon see any of us confined to the dustbin of social media history." These platforms that claim to be “open” and in favor of “free speech” are now routinely targeting -- whether by human intervention or not -- the views and expressions of conservatives and anti-globalists. This is why they no longer even fit the bill of “platforms.” They are publishers in the same way we regard news outlets as publishers. They may use more machine learning and automation, but their systems clearly take editorial positions. We need to hold them to account in the same way we do any other publisher. Farage then accused social media giants of being corporatist: That they cannot profess to be neutral, open platforms while being illiberal, dictatorial, and hiding behind the visage of a private corporation (which are more often than not in bed with governments around the world at the very highest levels). This isn’t capitalism. It’s corporatism. He concludes that the real interference in "US democracy" comes not from Russia, but from some of its most powerful corporations which now yield more power in some cases than the government itself: "This isn’t “liberal democracy” as they keep pretending. It’s autocracy." "...for those that don’t take issue with the latest censorship of right-wingers by big social media -- unless we take a stand now, who knows where it could end."

Devastating twin blazes in northern California expanded nearly 80 percent over the weekend, scorching nearly 443 square miles to become the largest wildfire in state HISTORY

The Mendocino Complex, consisting of the River and Ranch fires, has scorched more than 283,000 acres

Water-dropping aircraft are being used to subdue the flames as the fire is 30 percent contained as of Monday

Across the state more than 14,000 firefighters are working to contain 16 major fires fueled by dry conditions

A new blaze, dubbed the Holy Fire, cropped up in Orange County on Monday, quickly scorching 1,200 acres

By Megan Sheets For Dailymail.com Published: 10:58 EDT, 6 August 2018 | Updated: 01:57 EDT, 7 August 2018

Twin blazes tearing through northern California fueled by dry vegetation and hot, windy weather have now grown to become the largest wildfire in state history. The Mendocino Complex Fire expanded nearly 80 percent over the weekend and has now scorched more than 283,000 acres north of San Francisco, forcing more than 20,000 people to evacuate and destroying at least 75 homes so far. Firefighters are continuing to battle the rapidly-advancing blaze that is considered to be around 30 percent contained as of Monday night. Comprised of the River and Ranch fires, the Mendocino Complex has now surpassed last year's Thomas Fire, which torched 281,893 acres in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, as the largest fire in California history. Cal Fire officials said water-dropping aircraft made some progress against one of the fires in the complex over the weekend, while the other has grown substantially, spreading into the Mendocino National Forest. Across the state more than 14,000 firefighters are working to contain 16 major fires fueled by persistent hot, dry and windy conditions following years of severe drought. A brand new blaze called the Holy Fire was ignited on Monday in Orange County, quickly expanding to more than 1,200 acres. To the north, the deadly Carr Fire has entered its third week of destruction in the scenic Shasta-Trinity region north of Sacramento, scorching more than 164,400 acres of land since July 23. So far the Carr Fire has left seven people dead and razed more than 1,600 buildings, more than half of them family homes, state officials said Monday. Experts are blaming the prolific fires on climate change, saying that hotter weather is drying out vegetation, creating more intense flames that spread quickly from rural areas to cities and towns.  Cal Fire deputy chief Scott McLean described the wildfires as 'extremely fast, extremely aggressive [and] extremely dangerous'. 'Look how big it got, just in a matter of days. Look how fast this Mendocino Complex went up in ranking. That doesn't happen. That just doesn't happen,' he said. President Donald Trump responded to the devastation on Sunday in a tweet that was met with backlash because it appeared to place blame on poor environmental laws rather than climate change. 'California wildfires are being magnified & made so much worse by the bad environmental laws which aren't allowing massive amounts of readily available water to be properly utilized,' Trump wrote. 'It is being diverted into the Pacific Ocean. Must also tree clear to stop fire from spreading!' Fire officials have condemned the presidents comments, saying that they are not in fact struggling to source enough water to contain the fires. 'We have plenty of water to fight these wildfires, but let's be clear: It's our changing climate that is leading to more severe and destructive fires,' Daniel Berlant, Cal Fire assistant deputy director, told The New York Times. Trump doubled-down on his earlier comments in a second tweet on Monday in which he accused the state 'foolishly' diverting river water into the ocean, which environmental experts say is not accurate. 'Governor Jerry Brown must allow the Free Flow of the vast amounts of water coming from the North and foolishly being diverted into the Pacific Ocean. Can be used for fires, farming and everything else,' Trump tweeted Monday afternoon. 'Think of California with plenty of Water - Nice! Fast Federal govt. approvals.' Trump issued an Emergency Declaration for the state on July 28, and Brown has now requested that the president declare a major disaster. 'Battling these relentless fires requires a Herculean effort,' the governor wrote in the request Friday. The fires in Northern California have created such a haze of smoke in the Central Valley that Sacramento County health officials advised residents to avoid outdoor activities for the entire week.

Rare hail storm hits Sardinia, Italy, amid Europe’s heatwave

By Strange Sounds - Aug 6, 2018

A sudden and powerful ice blast covered Sardinia, an Italian island in the Mediterranean Sea, in a 30cm-deep ‘snow blanket’ after the temperatures suddenly plunged from 35C to 12C despite a record-breaking heatwave across the continent on August 2, 2018. Temperatures plummeted to just 12C, while a 30cm-deep blanket of hailstones caused havoc on the busy roads. Witnesses described a “snow blanket” on the roads, just minutes after a sweltering 35C heatwave. The violent hailstorm was caught on camera by drivers on the Strada 131 in Campeda, Sardinia, prompting dozens of requests to emergency services. The sudden hailstorm caused transport chaos for some motorists, including an accident between two cars. The cold temperature blast was also felt in nearby towns, including Mamoiada, Sorgono and Tonara. Flash flooding struck the nearby region of Nuorese, with emegency services called out to empty water from flooded basements. Mayors and traffic wardens have been at work since to restore road conditions in the affected zones. Viewers online describe the weather videos in Sardinia as “unbeliable” while others claimed “the end was near” due to the bizarre weather.

Despite this week’s ice blast, the Italian island is back to scorching temperatures. right now.

As The World Burns, Are We Witnessing Geo-Engineered Genocide By Laser Fire?

More Evidence Weather Modification Programs Are Wreaking Havoc Upon The Planet

August 5th, 2018 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

With Europe now facing one of its hottest days ever with a killer heatwave scorching local temperature records all across the continent while taking more lives and leading to people sleeping in supermarket refrigerator aisles, the death toll from the devastating wildfires in Greece rose to nearly 100 people and as we see within this ANP story, fires continue to spread across much of the Western half of the United States. As you can see in the screenshot we've taken above from the website FireWeatherAvalanche, there are currently 2,032 active wildfires going on across America at this moment, nearly all of them in the Western half of the country. And while summer wildfires aren't out of the ordinary, as Dane Wigington reported in this July 30th story over at his GeoEngineering Watch website, while all official sources are blaming the extreme fires on 'global warming', none of the 'official sources' are blaming climate engineering programs. From Wigington's story: Though there are countless forms of human activity damaging the climate and biosphere, illegal global climate engineering / solar radiation management operations are a primary causal factor fueling catastrophic wildfires all over the globe (which official sources are not disclosing). Climate engineering is completely disrupting the hydrological cycle, triggering increasing dry lightning, destroying the ozone layer, contaminating soils, and covering everything at ground level with an incendiary dust (due to the fallout from atmosphere spraying programs). The 10 minute video below (ANP: the final video at the bottom of this story) elaborates on the direct effect geoengineering operations are having on forest fires, their behavior and their frequency. Geoengineering is nothing less than weather warfare. Other recent western infernos also confirm the impact of climate intervention operations. The satellite animation below was recorded on October 11th, 2017, it is important to examine carefully. Anomalous, counter-directional and extreme wind patterns over the core wildfire region was a major contributing factor in the firestorm cataclysm that occurred in the Santa Rosa region of California . All official sources continue to ignore and omit any discussion of the ongoing illegal climate engineering operations. According to an August 1st story over at Air Crap that Steve Quayle had linked to on his website on Wednesday, the explosive and rapidly spreading wildfires that have broken out in both California and Greece may have been caused by 'directed energy weapons'. While the mainstream media would surely call such a claim a 'conspiracy theory', Pro News in Greece also published a story on August 1st in which they reported the Vice President of the EYDAP, George Maistralis, is taking seriously 'conspiracy scenarios' which suggest that Greece is under a HAARP directed energy attack. And while the Pro News story in general had a mainstream perspective about Maistralis's claims and didn't necessarily believe that man attempting to play God and alter the weather was even possible, they did bring up some very interesting points within their story that we've gone ahead and republished below. EYDAP vice-president George Maistralis says he is taking seriously conspiracy scenarios for a HAARP energy attack, as shown by his posts on facebook. He appears to be wondering if energy weapons are behind the extreme weather events that have caused floods and fires. We will say this: Changes in the weather are strange and problematic, but even if the weather can indeed be controlled by "other means" (something that the most powerful countries of the planet have been running special programs for decades to they do NOT justify the incredibly tragic mistakes and omissions of the state mechanism, on the basis of which until now 88 people have been horrified, property has been destroyed and thousands of others will be physically and mentally "marked" until the end of their lives . The HAARP experimental program aims at studying the ionosphere for its stimulation and use as an electromagnetic wave antenna, improving communications (eg HF, VHF, ELF submarine communications, etc.) but even for surveillance (surveillance). HAARP is funded by the US Air Force and Navy. It has special HF (2.8 - 10 MHz) high power (a few MW) power plants in Gakona, Alaska, which stimulates the charged particles of the ionosphere (eg, high energy electrons) causing VLF, ELF, etc. It is noted that ELF band frequencies (30-300 Hz) penetrate the ground and the sea mass revealing geological and oceanographic features of the planet at a very deep depth (tomography). The program has been accompanied by conspiracy theories, according to which HAARP is an American "supergroup" of mass destruction, which through deliberate stimulation of the ionosphere achieves selective interruption of communications in specific geographic areas, neutralizing the inhabitants by putting them in a state of dormancy / inactivity (psychotronic weapon), causing weather, earthquakes (environmental / geophysical weapon), etc. Similarly to HAARP ionospheric systems, EISCAT (European Incoherent Scatter Scientific Association) with facilities in Norway's Tromso (Norway, Sweden, Finland, Japan, France, Great Britain, Germany, China) as well as Russian SURA. A similar system exists in Akrotiri, Cyprus. And while the mainstream media will continue to call 'weather modification' programs, geo-engineering and weather warfare a 'conspiracy theory', so many people who get their news from non-mainstream sources who are well aware of weather modification programs may soon outnumber those think it impossible for man to change the weather. As Steve Quayle had recently mentioned while linking to this story over at Strange Sounds about the massive fires, "you are viewing the results of geo-engineering being amped up to 'techno-hegelian dialectic', controlling the atmospheric rivers of water underway." Quayle was one of the very first people to warn us about weather modification programs and weather warfare many years ago in his book "Weather Wars & Un-Natural Disasters" within which he warned the world “Technology will make available, to the leaders of the major nations, techniques for conducting secret warfare, of which only a bare minimum of security forces need be appraisedTechniques of weather modification could be employed to produce prolonged periods of drought or storm.” And yet the mainstream media continually denies the existence of weather warfare programs despite the Wikipedia entry for 'Operation Popeye' which reports: Operation Popeye (Project Controlled Weather Popeye / Motorpool / Intermediary-Compatriot) was a highly classified weather modification program in Southeast Asia during 1967–1972. The cloud seeding operation during the Vietnam War ran from March 20, 1967 until July 5, 1972 in an attempt to extend the monsoon season, specifically over areas of the Ho Chi Minh Trail. The operation was used to induce rain and extend the East Asian Monsoon season in support of U.S. government efforts related to the War in Southeast Asia. The former U.S. Secretary of Defense, Robert S. McNamara, was aware that there might be objections raised by the international scientific community but said in a memo to the president that such objections had not in the past been a basis for prevention of military activities considered to be in the interests of U.S. national security. The chemical weather modification program was conducted from Thailand over Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam and allegedly sponsored by Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and CIA without the authorization of then Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird who had categorically denied to Congress that a program for modification of the weather for use as a tactical weapon even existed. And if after reading all of that, you're still a 'weather modification denier', we encourage you to visit Dane Wigington's Geoengineering Watch website's extensive list of nearly 100 years of weather modification patents which detail for us some of the secrets that the mainstream media is now keeping from the American people. Another great source to take a look at is this document directly from the US Air Force titled "Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025" within which they describe a 'global weather network', the military system for weather-modification operations and several chapters on altering the ionosphere. And while at this moment we have no absolute proof that the fires burning out West or the killer fires in Greece were intentionally caused by directed energy weapons, we see tons of evidence in the videos below that the technology exists to create and sustain such raging fires including this July 24th story over at The National Interest titled "Here Come The Lasers: The Dawn Of Energy Weapons Is Here". In the first video below from A Plane Truth our videographer takes a look at what he calls 'GeoEngineered Genocide by Laser Fire' and what he believes have been directed energy weapon attacks upon Shasta County, California while in the 2nd video below from videographer Jim Lee, he takes a look at the history of weather modification programs while looking at more evidence that directed energy weapons are being used.

Massive Flotillas of Putrid Seaweed Wash Up in Caribbean and S. Florida, Threatening Beaches

By Paula Bolyard August 3, 2018

Beaches from Florida to French Guiana in S. America have been plagued in recent years by massive influxes of Sargassum blooms, threatening not only the ecosystem but also tourism as resorts battle tons of the seaweed-like grass washing up on beaches on a daily basis. This year is gearing up to be one of the worst Sargassum invasions in recent memory. Sargassum is abundant in the ocean, originating in the Sargasso Sea, a region of the North Atlantic. The seaweed forms floating rafts that can stretch for miles. The leaves and branches contain gas-filled berry-like structures called pneumatocysts that make the plants buoyant and able to float on the surface of the water. The floating masses of Sargassum provide an essential habitat for fish, sea turtles, birds, and hundreds of other sea creatures. But in recent years Sargassum has been washing up on shores in mass quantities, creating smelly piles on beaches and distressing tourists. The Caribbean has been hardest hit, but the Sargassum has become a nuisance in Florida and off the West Coast of Africa as well. (See map of the affected areas below.) While normally harmless to humans, when it washes up on shore, the seaweed and animals contained within quickly begin to die and decompose, leaving a rotten egg smell in its wake. etc. etc. and the news story continues...

Colorado Springs area nailed by baseball-sized hail: Zoo visitors injured, zoo animals killed, home and car damaged, flash floods

By Strange Sounds - Aug 6, 2018

Baseball-sized hail fell in southern Colorado about 3 p.m. Monday. Areas of southern Colorado Springs, Security, Widefield, Fountain and Fort Carson were just slammed by HUGE hail stones, resulting in major power outages. The powerful storm pummeled the Cheyenne Mountain zoo with large hail which injured 14 people and killed at least three animals – two vultures and a duck. Classes have been cancelled for Tuesday (the first day of school in Hanover District 28. Baseball-sized hail fell in southern Colorado about 3 p.m. Monday. A Severe Thunderstorm WATCH is in effect for the entire area until 9 pm. A Flash Flood WATCH is in effect for burn scar areas until midnight. The colorado Springs Fire Department says five people at the zoo were taken to the hospital for injuries from the hail and two vultures and a duck were killed by the hail. The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo evacuated people from the zoo and they were transported by bus to Cheyenne Mountain High School. The zoo will be closed Tuesday. There are widespread reports of damage to soldiers’ vehicles at Fort Carson as the hail fell. As a result of the major hail event, Hanover District 28 has cancelled classes for Tuesday. It was supposed to be the first day of school for the 2018-2019 year. An assessment of damage to the campus and facilities has not been made available. Also there is a major power outage on the east side of I-25 from Dublin Boulevard to Research Parkway. The severe weather moved through southern Colorado where a severe thunderstorm warning was in effect. Storm pelted areas from Manitou Springs, the Broadmoor, down into Security and Widefield with quarter to baseball size hail. The storm also produced enough flooding rains to strand cars near the Broadmoor.

Here Are 410 Movies Made Under The Direct Influence And Supervision Of The Pentagon

by Tyler Durden Mon, 08/06/2018 - 23:10

A year ago we featured a detailed report by authors Tom Secker and Matthew Alford exposing just how vast the Pentagon and CIA programs for partnering with Hollywood actually are, based on some 4,000 new pages of formerly classified archived documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act. The report noted at the time that "These documents for the first time demonstrate that the US government has worked behind the scenes on over 800 major movies and more than 1,000 TV titles." Reviewing the ever expanding list, the average movie watcher might be in for a shock at what films are actually included — there are the more predictable ones like Black Hawk Down, Zero Dark Thirty, and Lone Survivor; but also entirely unexpected ones that apparently needed the military-industrial complex's propaganda touch like Earnest Saves Christmas, Karate Kid 2, The Silence of the Lambs, Twister, the Iron Man movies, and more recently Pitch Perfect 3. When a Hollywood writer or producer approaches the Pentagon and asks for access to military assets to help make their film, they have to submit their script to the entertainment liaison offices for vetting. Ultimately, the man with the final say is Phil Strub, the Department of Defense’s (DOD) chief Hollywood liaison, who has been at the helm of this formerly semi-secret department going all the way back to 1989. If there are characters, action or dialogue that the DOD doesn't approve of then the film-maker has to make changes to accommodate the military’s demands. If they refuse then the Pentagon packs up its toys and goes home. To obtain full cooperation the producers have to sign contracts, called Production Assistance Agreements, which lock them into using a military-approved version of the script. Months ago, Strub was again profiled in a report called Elisting an Audience: How Hollywood Peddles Propaganda, which quoted him trying to push back against the growing media exposure over the past year: "We're not trying to brainwash people! We're out to present the clearest, truest view," Strub told The Outline. The report rightly noted that while Americans generally pride themselves on living in a free speech anti-censorship society, while simultaneously mocking the propaganda examples in places like Russia or China, the US public is subject to more homegrown state-run propaganda than it thinks: Military pageantry in Russia, massive rallies in North Korea, blunt messaging from China. We cluck at shameless self-aggrandizing when we see it overseas. But it doesn’t take much effort to see that American propaganda is everywhere, too. It’s not government-made, and it’s not quite as brazen as its counterpart from abroad. But it’s here, and to ignore that a piece of content is, at its core, propaganda — especially these days, while Trump openly pines for grand army parades — is a mistake. “There’s all kinds of ways to make an ideological point,” Harris added. “Sometimes I do think we’re not attuned enough. We do not look hard enough for propaganda.” And what's more, unlike in authoritarian systems, in the West it is the consumers that are actually willing, if perhaps unwitting, participants in state propaganda. The Outline report continues: Certainly, the content has alternative, sincere agendas, too, but it’s the giant, amorphous market of consumers that has called it forth. That’s the difference between our propaganda and everyone else’s. In autocratic regimes, a government-backed entity pushes it onto indifferent or unwilling consumers. In America, we, the consumers, happily demand it. Want to see what Hollywood films — some recent and some going back decades — that you've seen but were unaware had the US Department of Defense's official imprimatur? Below is a merely partial list of films in alphabetical order that had Pentagon involvement either during the script or production phase, according to declassified US government documents. Amazingly the list of 410 movies is but half of the total number (for example, Zero Dark Thirty and some other prominent ones are not on there) and was compiled by the FOIA investigative website Spy Culture.

Children in Belgium Are Being Legally Murdered by The Government

By Nate Brown — @natebro21 — See Comments

Region: Europe Published: August 7, 2018 Updated: August 7, 2018 at 7:41 am EST

The world over, to murder a child, is generally viewed in a negative light. However, in Belgium, legislative authorities amended its law on euthanasia to include the authorization for doctors to terminate the life of a child. After the amendment, initially, and for the first year, no child came forth to be legally euthanized, however, from January 1st, 2016 to December 31st, 2017 Belgian doctors euthanized three children under eighteen. To make matters worse, the children can decide if they would like to end their own life. Belgian authorities have made the argument that very young children possess the same decisional capacity as some adults. Out of the three children that were legally murdered, one was a seventeen-year-old. Furthermore, Belgium is not the only country in the world where children over twelve can decide to end their lives; in fact, the Netherlands also permits euthanasia for children over twelve. However, the other two children that decided to act upon being euthanized were nine and eleven years old. These two children are the first under-twelve cases anywhere in the world. Everywhere where Euthanasia is legal, the law reflects the same age as consent. In other words, in the majority of places where euthanasia is allowed, children are at least making the decisions when they are eighteen and older. However, in Belgium, to grant the decisional capacity to that of a child who is so young is absurd. The child can’t vote, can’t consent to sex, but he or she can choose to kill him/herself? Belgian authorities regarding the matter, trust experts to prevent mistakes or abuses. Doctors must verify that a child is “in a hopeless medical situation of constant and unbearable suffering that cannot be eased and which will cause death in the short term.” After a child makes his or her wish for euthanasia known, in writing, child psychiatrists conduct examinations, including, intelligence tests, to determine that the youngster is capable and “not influenced by a third party.” Parents can, however, prevent the request from being carried out. Of the two children that chose to end their lives, the eleven-year-old had cystic fibrosis. The disease is, in fact, fatal and incurable, however, because of the advances in medicine, the average individual with CF can live to be forty-three years-old or beyond. Furthermore, because of the advances in medicine, often, those with CF can have a high quality of life. Regardless of the circumstances that surround euthanasia for children, and the ability of adults to knowingly choose to end their lives, the legality of such is in and of itself a danger. The field of legal euthanasia is just starting for adults and for such to be also available to children places law in the hands of insanity.

First They Came For Infowars....... Tomorrow We Will All Be Alex Jones: Independent Media Silenced - They Are Coming For Us All Now

- The Purge Is In Full Swing

August 6, 2018 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

The same liberal media that has been bitterly whining about their First Amendment right of a free press for the last week, claiming that is somehow endangered because rally attendees screamed #CNNSUCKS at them, are now celebrating the decision by Facebook to permanently remove Alex Jones and InfoWars pages from their platform on the same day that Apple has removed the entire library for five of Infowars' six podcasts from its iTunes and Podcast apps. This comes just days after YouTube removed multiple Alex Jones videos and gave him a community strike for alleged "hate speech," which is the catch-all excuse being used by Apple, Facebook, and Spotify as their justification to silence him. A YouTube strike effectively prevents Jones from livestreaming his broadcasts on the platform. (I just clicked the Alex Jones Channel on YouTube, and received the message "This account has been terminated for violating YouTube's community standards.") His YouTube channel is now totally gone. Paul Joseph Watson wrote at Infowars this morning: Apple, Spotify, Facebook and YouTube all banned Infowars within 12 hours of each other, illustrating how last night’s purge was a coordinated effort and has nothing to do with these platforms enforcing “hate speech” rules. I don't care if one agrees with Alex Jones or disagrees with him, if they love him or hate him, this coordinated attack against him and his InfoWars broadcasts and social media presence should severely concern everybody that sees the abusive liberal media bias and uses Independent Media to find information the establishment media won't report. In The Friends of Voltaire, Evelyn Beatrice Hall wrote the phrase: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it," to illustrate Voltaire's beliefs. ALL INDEPENDENT MEDIA SHOULD BE STANDING UP FOR INFOWARS Jones and his Infowars podcasts and website had an extensive reach, and it matters not that sometimes I agree with him, sometimes I do not, we must all stand up for his First Amendment right to free speech and free press, whether we agree or not, because this coordinated effort to completely silence him online is just their next step in an all out war against Independent Media. After the 2016 election, where Independent Media bypassed the "official narrative" (Hillary Clinton must win) and helped prevent that fate for America, the attacks started. Washington Post helped push the disinformation campaign which listed 200+ Independent Media websites as "Russian propaganda," as others added many of those same sites to "fake news" lists, alongside of actual hoax websites. Then big tech started downranking search engine results, making sure the liberal media received the first pages of searches to limit the visibility of Independent Media sites, the exceptions being liberal bloggers. Then Google's YouTube started demonetizing video creators work, if it didn't comply with the liberal media narrative. Then revenue streams started paying less for the same amount of impressions, basically using the lower paying advertisers on sites they wanted to limit revenue to. Then social media started shadow banning conservatives, suspending their accounts, limiting the visibility of their posts. Liberals started campaigns of online harassment against advertisers that had ads on Breitbart, Infowars and other conservative news outlets. The coordinated attacks against Independent Media had but one goal..... to silence our voices. Martin Niemöller, a prominent Protestant pastor who emerged as an outspoken public foe of Adolf Hitler and spent the last seven years of Nazi rule in concentration camps, is well known for the following quotation: First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist.  Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist.  Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. Make no mistake, this coordinated takedown of Jones and Infowars by big tech is because of his huge audience. According to Arstechnica, Jones had 2.4 million YouTube subscribers and 1.6 million followers on Facebook. Paul Joseph Watson has a message for other Independent Media, the same message we are handing out right now with this article: "For conservative media outlets who don’t speak out because they don’t like Infowars, we have a message for you – you’re next." That is not hyperbole, that is not exaggeration, that is the truth. If they can silence Alex Jones online, with his vast resources, they can, and will, eventually silence us all.  OTHER HIGH PROFILE CONSERVATIVES VOICES SILENCED Just this weekend, Candace Owens, an African America who is the communications director for Turning Point USA, a conservative, was suspended from Twitter after she copied the same anti-white racist tweets from made by Sarah Jeong, the recent New York Times hire, and Owens replaced the word "white" with "black" and Jewish. Jeong was never suspended and her racists tweets are still up on the site, but Owens was suspended for violating community standards. After a massive backlash against Twitter and it's CEO Jack Dorsey, they removed the suspension and apologized, claiming it was an "error." The censorship of conservatives has become so blatant that House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy wants Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey to testify before Congress about the issue. The problem is congress moves too slowly and these attempts by big tech to silence conservatives is a direct attempt to meddle in the midterm elections by silencing any and all prominent conservatives across all social media platforms. That is also collusion. TOMORROW WE WILL ALL BE ALEX JONES There are some in the Independent Media that consider others as some type of competition, but the Internet is a huge, vast place, with room enough for all of us. Every single Independent Media website should be standing for Alex Jones and Infowars today, because tomorrow, we will all be Alex Jones. Wikileaks apparently agrees as they just issued a statement regarding the purge of Infowars, saying "The empire strikes back: Apple, Spotify, Facebook and Google/Youtube all purge Infowars/Alex Jones. Yes, Infowars has frequent nonsense, but also a state power critique. Which publisher in the world with millions of subscribers is next to be wiped out for cultural transgression?" Ben Shapiro over at Daily Wire, most definitely not a Jones' fan, and who has often criticized Infowars, and been criticized by Infowars, is also speaking out about why big tech is "dead wrong," for what they are doing because there is "no definition of hate speech that has a limiting principle." Furthermore, it won’t be made clear, because the political Left has no clear standards. So, for example, social media companies like Twitter will “accidentally” suspend Candace Owens, a black woman, for simply substituting the words “blacks” and “Jews” for “whites” in Sarah Jeong tweets to demonstrate the double standard in the media; Jeong, however, retains her elevated position at The New York Times. The same Left that says people of color are incapable of racism says that it will suspend people for “hate speech.” How exactly are we supposed to trust in free and open debate when those setting the limits are openly setting them up with embedded double-standards? The answer is, we don’t. Trust in social media is declining nearly as fast as trust in media overall. There’s a reason for that. And it’s not because social media tolerates voices like Jones. It’s because they don’t tolerate voices like Jones while tolerating voices who are just as bad on the political Left – and they show no signs of limiting their censorship to Alex Jones. Matt Drudge of the Drudge Report makes his own type of statement in support of Jones and against big tech's attempts to silence him, by providing a direct link to the Infowars live broadcast. [UPDATE] Media Research Center just issued a statement, via email:  MRC President Brent Bozell issued this statement on this disturbing move by these major tech companies: “I don’t support Alex Jones and what InfoWars produces. He’s not a conservative. However, banning him and his outlet is wrong. It’s not just a slippery slope, it’s a dangerous cliff that these social media companies are jumping off to satisfy CNN and other liberal outlets. “This is part of a disturbing trend. In recent months top conservative congressmen have been shadowbanned on Twitter. Pro-life and pro-gun posts and videos are often removed on several platforms. Liberal journalists even objected to one conservative outlet attending a meeting with Facebook. Several conservative organizations like Live Action, the NRA and even the Christian satire site Babylon Bee have complained they had posts removed or censored. “Social media sites are supposedly neutral platforms, but they are increasingly becoming opportunities for the left and major media to censor any content that they don’t like. The lack of transparency is also problematic and, as of this release, Facebook, Apple and Spotify have provided no detailed explanation for the ban. “Conservatives are increasingly concerned that InfoWars is not the end point for those who want to ban speech. It’s just the beginning. We are rapidly approaching a point where censorship of opposing voices is the norm. That’s dangerous.” This purge has happened over the last 24 hours, so we do expect to see many, many more Independent Media sites stand up and speak out. BOTTOM LINE Today is a terrifying day for free speech online, a day to remember that the media, liberals, social media giants and big tech, are determined to silence conservative voices in the Independent Media and they aren't even being subtle about it anymore. Today they came for Infowars..... Tomorrow we will all be Alex Jones. Note from Susan: This might be a good day to sign up to our ANP Newsletter.

China demolishes hundreds of churches and confiscates Bibles during a crackdown on Christianity

Locals in Henan stated concerns of a move by the atheist ruling Community Party to control Christianity

Residents were asked to replace posters of the cross and Jesus Christ with portraits of President Xi Jinping

Experts say the government is waging the most severe systematic suppression of the religion since 1982

Chinese leaders have 'always been suspicious of the political threat' that Christianity poses to the regime

By Associated Press and Kelsey Cheng For Mailonline Published: 06:49 EDT, 7 August 2018 | Updated: 12:03 EDT, 7 August 2018

Concerns have been raised over China's apparent crackdown on Christianity as the ruling Community party continues to intensify its control over religious freedom in the country. Churches were raided and demolished, Bibles and holy books were confiscated and new laws were established to monitor religious activities in the country's province of Henan, which has one of the largest Christian populations in China. Under President Xi Jinping, China's most powerful leader since Mao Zedong, believers are seeing their freedoms shrink dramatically even as the country undergoes a religious revival. Experts and activists say that as Xi consolidates his power, he is waging the most severe systematic suppression of Christianity in the country since religious freedom was written into the Chinese constitution in 1982. Guo, a 62-year-old Chinese shopkeeper had waited nearly his entire adult life to see his dream of building a church come true - a brick house with a sunny courtyard and spacious hall with room for 200 believers. But in March, about a dozen police officers and local officials suddenly showed up at the church on his property and made the frightened congregants disperse. They ordered that the cross, a painting of the Last Supper and Bible verse calligraphy be taken down. And they demanded that all services stop until each person along with the church itself was registered with the government, said Guo, who gave his last name only from fear of retribution. Without warning, Guo and his neighbors in central Henan had found themselves on the front lines of an ambitious new effort by the officially atheist ruling Communist Party to dictate - and in some cases displace - the practice of faith in the country. The crackdown on Christianity is part of a broader push by Xi to 'Sinicise' all the nation's religions by infusing them with 'Chinese characteristics' such as loyalty to the Communist Party. Over the last several months, local governments across the country have shut down hundreds of private Christian 'house churches'. A statement last week from 47 in Beijing alone said they had faced 'unprecedented' harassment since February. A dozen Chinese Protestants interviewed by the Associated Press described gatherings that were raided, interrogations and surveillance, and one pastor said hundreds of his congregants were questioned individually about their faith. Like Guo, the majority requested that their names be partly or fully withheld because they feared punishment from authorities. 'Chinese leaders have always been suspicious of the political challenge or threat that Christianity poses to the Communist regime,' said Xi Lian, a scholar of Christianity in China at Duke University. 'Under Xi, this fear of Western infiltration has intensified and gained a prominence that we haven't seen for a long time.' Officials once largely tolerated the unregistered Protestant house churches that sprang up independent of the official Christian Council, clamping down on some while allowing others to grow. But this year they have taken a tougher approach that relies partly on 'thought reform' - a phrase for political indoctrination. Last November, Christian residents of a rural township in south-east Jiangxi province were persuaded to replace posters of the cross and Jesus Christ inside their homes with portraits of Xi, a local official said. 'Through our thought reform, they've voluntarily done it,' Qi Yan, a member of the township party committee, told the AP by phone. 'The move is aimed at Christian families in poverty, and we educated them to believe in science and not in superstition, making them believe in the party.' The poster campaign appears to symbolise what analysts see as the underlying force driving the change in the party's approach to religion: the ascendance of Xi. 'Xi is a closet Maoist - he is very anxious about thought control,' said Willy Lam, a Chinese politics expert at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. 'He definitely does not want people to be faithful members of the church, because then people would profess their allegiance to the church rather than to the party, or more exactly, to Xi himself.' Various state and local officials declined repeated requests to comment. But in 2016, Xi explicitly warned against the perceived foreign threats tied to faith, telling a religion conference: 'We must resolutely guard against overseas infiltrations via religious means.' Those who resist pay the price. After Jin Mingri, a prominent pastor who leads Zion Church in Beijing, refused local authorities' request to install surveillance cameras inside his house church, police individually questioned hundreds of members of the 1,500-person congregation, he said. The congregants faced veiled threats, Jin said, and many were asked to sign a pledge promising to leave Zion, which the government agents called illegal, politically incorrect and a cult. Some people lost their jobs or were evicted from rented apartments because police intimidated their bosses and landlords. 'A lot of our flock are terrified by the pressure that the government is putting on them,' he said. 'It's painful to think that in our own country's capital, we must pay so dearly just to practice our faith.' In Zhengzhou, Henan's capital, all that is left of one house church is shattered glass, tangled wires and torn hymnbooks, strewn among the rubble of a knocked-down wall. Pegged to another wall is a single wooden cross, still intact. The church inside a commercial building had served about 100 believers for years. But in late January, nearly 60 officials from the local religion department and police station appeared without warning. Armed with electric saws, they demolished the church, confiscated Bibles and computers and held a handful of young worshippers - including a 14-year-old girl - at a police station for more than 10 hours, according to a church leader. Even Protestant churches already registered with the state have not been spared greater restrictions. When reporters visited five such churches in Henan this June, all bore notices at their entrances stating that minors and party members were not allowed inside. A banner above one church door exhorted members to 'implement the basic direction of the party's religious work.' Another church erected a Chinese flag at the foot of its steps. Guo's brick house was largely deserted this summer. Around the door frame, tattered red outlines remained of a scroll that once read 'God's love is as deep as the sea.' Inside, Guo has refused to remove the cross and other decorations, telling authorities they are within his private property. Among them, pinned to a wall in the nave, is a bright blue poster that quotes China's constitutional promise of religious freedom. Elsewhere in China, religious practices and activities remain strictly controlled. In Xinjiang, a Muslim-majority region in the country's far west, millions of ethnic Uighurs face repression and torture as authorities claimed to rule out potential separatist movements. Former inmates have told of the horror after being detained in what the Chinese government calls 'political re-education camps', where they were physically and mentally tortured and as punishment, were forced to eat pork and drink alcohol. In late July, children in traditionally Buddhist Tibet were required to sign an agreement to 'not take part in any form of religious activity' during the summer holidays, according to the Global Times. The policy appears to reflect increasingly harsh restrictions on the Himalayan region's traditional Buddhist culture, largely aimed at reducing the influence of the region's spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, who lives in exile in India. On Tuesday, state media announced that all religious institutions across the country are now required to fly the national flag, in a move to assimilate religions into the socialist society. The rule is necessary to strengthen awareness of respect for the flag - a symbol of the country's embrace of communism in 1949 - and preserve the flag's dignity, Xinhua claimed, adding that the practice can enhance the public's national consciousness and civic awareness.

CNN Intimidation Tactics Are A Media Pattern To Silence Americans Calling Them Out For Their 'Abusively Biased' 

Coverage By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine August 6, 2018

Sean Hannity, in an interview with Breitbart News Washington Political Editor Matt Boyle on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Saturday, hit the nail on the head in accusing CNN's pundits of carrying out an "intimidation" campaign against Americans who have been regularly calling them out for their "abusively biased" coverage. “There’s a reason that people are shouting ‘CNN sucks.’ It’s because they do suck,” Hannity quipped. “This is just a means of — I think — of intimidating and trying to silence people for telling them — really shouting at them — that their coverage is abusively biased.” Hannity was dismissive of the notion Jim Acosta and other leftist journalists are somehow uniquely endangered by President Trump’s anti-leftist media rhetoric. “With all due respect to everybody, I’ve had a lot of death threats over the years. I’ve had white powder sent to my office,” he said. “There’s always gonna be a crazy in every crowd. The shooting that took place at that baseball game practice, where Steve Scalise was shot, he was a Bernie supporter, but I don’t blame Bernie Sanders for the fact that one of his supporters is a nut.” The shooting of GOP congressmen was the perfect example to use because it highlights not only the media bias in their coverage of that compared to their coverage of any event that involves someone other than a democrat, but how the media, very blatantly blames a whole group (GOP and conservatives) if an unhinged person harms a liberal, while treating any harm against a conservative as an outlier, or just a fringe crazy person. This is most definitely an intimidation tactic the liberal media has used to control the populace in an attempt to get them to behave in a manner the media wants them to. CNN HAS A HISTORY OF USING INTIMIDATION/BLACKMAIL TACTICS Remember when President Trump shared an amusing GIF, created by a random anonymous Reddit user? (Shown below) CNN used their vast resources to actually hunt down a random Reddit user who created the GIF above, which was shared via Twitter by President Trump, then ran an article about the user titled "How CNN found the Reddit user behind the Trump wrestling GIF." Within the article, they made the following statement: CNN is not publishing ‘HanA**holeSolo’s’ name because he is a private citizen who has issued an extensive statement of apology, showed his remorse by saying he has taken down all his offending posts, and because he said he is not going to repeat this ugly behavior on social media again,” the article stated. “…CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change.” CNNBLACKMAILSTATEMENT.jpg Immediately after CNN promoted that article on Twitter, saying "Exclusive: CNN tracked down the Reddit user behind the Trump wrestling GIF. Now he's apologizing," the hashtag #CNNBlackmail started trending. Conservatives took CNN to task over their obvious intimidation tactics in threatening a private citizen with exposure should his "behavior" not conform to what CNN thinks it should be in the future. Reactions came out fast an furiously, as shown by Washington Times: “CNN Threatens Reddit User for Exercising Free Speech,” tweeted one, Stefan Molyneux, above a photo of Trump’s face with the text, “CNN Blackmail.” Julian Assange weighed in: “A multi-billion dollar TV network blackmailing a private citizen into not making funny videos about it is not journalism, CNN. #CNNBlackmail.” So did plenty of others. Another: “Count me among those that [find] CNN’s veiled doxing threat to [HanA**holeSolo] very, very ethically shaky.” Another: “Is that normal? Is @CNN essentially threatening to dox him, or am I reading that wrong?” And another, from Mark Dice, media analyst: “The history books will show that on #july4th2017 CNN blackmailed someone who made a joke gif about them. #CNNBlackmail.” Even liberals found CNN's tactics distasteful, as shown by the left-wing website Slate, who said CNN managed to make themselves look "foolish, self-righteous, and petty." Which brought about 'The Great Meme War of 2017,' after Reddit users and the 4chan autists declared war on CNN with 'Operation: Autism Storm.'

The Censorship Is Real – EndOfTheAmericanDream.com Is Being Completely Blocked By Library Internet Filters

August 6, 2018 by Michael Snyder

Somebody out there definitely does not want you to see what I have to say. On Sunday I received an email that upset me greatly, and I am about to share it with you. One of my readers recently went to his local library to print off a couple of copies of one of my articles, and it turns out that EndOfTheAmericanDream.com was completely blocked by the Internet filter that the library was using. I have been writing a lot about how conservative voices are being systematically censored on the Internet, but it becomes more real when it happens to you. The following is the message that my reader sent me via email… Michael I just had a terrifying, alarming experience at my local library in Pleasant Hill MO. I went in to get the Librarian to run off two copies of your article about the gap between the rich and poor being so great now and the Librarian couldn’t get on endoftheamericandream because your website is considered a “radical opinion” website by Homeland Security Administration and the Library!!!!!!!!!!!! She said that is according to the “filter” the Library uses. TALK ABOUT CENSORSHIP AND BOOK BURNING!!! So I couldn’t get the copies made. I have been hearing about how the internet is censoring, shadowbanning, and unsubscribing people from Conservative websites and NOW I BELIEVE IT!!!! I experienced it first hand. WOW! I thought I should let you know. Truly, we are living in Orwellian times! Why in the world would they want to censor me? The only “radical opinions” that I have are the exact same ones that conservatives, Christians and patriots have had ever since this country began. Unfortunately, those opinions are now considered “radical” because of how far this nation has shifted in recent years. If our founders were around today, they would definitely be on the Internet, and without a doubt they would be getting censored too. The next time that you are at the library, I encourage you to check if you can get to EndOfTheAmericanDream.com on a computer there. I would love to get a feel for how widespread this is around the United States. Obviously if one library is using this filtering program, it is inevitable that many others will be using it as well. In 2018, we have seen an unprecedented effort to censor conservatives. YouTube has shut down hundreds of alternative voices, Facebook has been taking down hundreds of pages, and Twitter has been so aggressive with shadowbanning that members of Congress are up in arms about it. Extremely big names such as Alex Jones and Mike Adams are under relentless assault right now, and as you can see from this article, they are coming after the little guys too. From my home up in the mountains, each day I just try to do my best to inform my readers about what is going on in the world. I do not hate anyone, and there is certainly nothing in my writing that would ever justify being censored by a public library. But this is what happens when you challenge the liberal orthodoxy of the day. They do not believe in freedom of speech, and they certainly do not believe in open debate. All throughout history, anywhere that we have seen leftists take control speech is systematically suppressed. They just can’t seem to help themselves. Just look at what is happening all around the country right now. In Hollywood, on college campuses and on the Internet speech is being suppressed to a degree that we haven’t seen before. Before the Internet, the elite truly were gatekeepers when it came to the flow of information. They owned the television networks, the radio stations, the newspapers and the publishing houses. If you wanted to get your message out, you had to go through them. But then along came the Internet, and it gave ordinary people like us the power to communicate with one another on a massive scale without going through the gatekeepers. It was a major game changer, and now they are trying to put the genie back in the bottle. Those on the left can say some of the most horrible things imaginable and completely get away with it. Sarah Jeong is a perfect example of this. Her vile, racist rants on Twitter are absolutely horrifying, but the New York Times decided that she would be just perfect for their editorial board. Meanwhile, those of us in the alternative media are just trying to respectfully exercise our freedom of speech, and the crackdown on us has been relentless. We truly are in an information war, and the other side is not playing fair. Please remember to support those in the free and independent media, because the mainstream media and the big tech companies are doing their best to shut us down, but we are not going to let them win. Michael Snyder is a nationally syndicated writer, media personality and political activist. He is publisher of The Most Important News and the author of four books including The Beginning Of The End and Living A Life That Really Matters.

ANC shocks Twitter by calling all white people ‘murderers’

Citizen Reporter

The party has subsequently deleted the tweet and said it was quoting someone else, though lawyers say they can still be held accountable. A tweet on the ANC’s parliamentary Twitter account shocked many on Thursday when it appeared to call all white people murderers. The tweet, which has subsequently been deleted, read: “The biggest mistake we are making is to consult murderers. White people are 9% of the population, they own 79% of land. They never came and consulted us for the land. If they want us to forgive them now, then let us share the land, the mineral resources.” The party has subsequently deleted the tweet and said it was quoting someone else, though lawyers say they can still be held accountable. A tweet on the ANC’s parliamentary Twitter account shocked many on Thursday when it appeared to call all white people murderers. The tweet, which has subsequently been deleted, read: “The biggest mistake we are making is to consult murderers. White people are 9% of the population, they own 79% of land. They never came and consulted us for the land. If they want us to forgive them now, then let us share the land, the mineral resources.” It was not in quotation marks, so when it was read out of context it came as a bombshell to many, who assumed that this was the view of the ANC itself. The party then told its critics that it had merely been quoting the remarks of one of the members of the public who had come to parliament’s constitutional review committee’s public hearing on the review of section 25 of the constitution that was being held in the town of Beaufort West in the Western Cape. However, this didn’t sit well with critics, who pointed out that the party should have made that clearer, by at the very least putting the statement in quotation marks. Subsequent to the criticism, that was what the account began to do, in an attempt to make it clearer that it was not necessarily expressing the views of the ANC itself. Nevertheless, this still didn’t well with some. A legal expert, Helene Eloff, also weighed in to make it clear that the ANC had blundered and could be held liable for the view expressed, since a disclaimer can’t be applied retrospectively. The ANC in the Western Cape on Saturday congratulated the joint constitutional review committee for successfully conducting public hearings into whether the constitution should be amended to allow for expropriation of land without compensation. The committee had held public meetings across the Western Cape in the past week, and on Saturday finished the public consultation process with a public meeting in Goodwood in Cape Town. In a statement, the party said: “The people of the Western Cape have spoken. From Oudtshoorn to Beaufort West, Citrusdal to Swellendam, and finally, the Cape Metro, our people have unequivocally and overwhelmingly said section 25 of the constitution must be amended in order to fulfil the broad and fair land ownership across the province. “The ANC is proud of its members who came out in numbers and made solid contributions in the public hearings. Our members and supporters are saying land reform through the amendment of section 25 will open the province’s productive forces and, contrary to popular belief, will actually increase agricultural productivity and be the catalyst for the broad industrialisation of our country as millions get absorbed into mainstream economy. “Our people are saying land is the basis for all economic activity and exclusion of the majority of citizens from land ownership prevents them from full participation in the economy. There is a clear message that land expropriation will have a positive impact also on social challenges as people are freed from burden of landlessness and lack of assets.” The statement added: “Our people believe that instead of affecting food security, land expropriation will actually expand it. Instead of causing social and economic upheaval, new economic players will emerge, and our economy may experience a leap forward.” The party said that contrary to the fears of some, including right-wing organisations, the ANC had made it clear throughout the process, and in its National and Provincial Land Summits, that “not only are we concerned about food productivity, we seek maximisation of all agricultural land, so instead of removing some productive forces from the system, more will be added”. Parliament’s joint constitutional review committee on Saturday concluded the provincial public hearings into section 25 of the Constitution in the Cape Metropolitan Area with one of the biggest gatherings to date. READ MORE: Cyril ‘made Zuma-style announcement’ to ‘neutralise EFF threat’ – Mmusi The committee, which held a total 34 hearings in all nine provinces of South Africa, was instructed by the National Assembly and the National Council of Provinces to ascertain whether a review of this section and other clauses were necessary, to make it possible for the state to expropriate land in the public interest without compensation. It was also asked to propose the necessary constitutional amendments where necessary. Hundreds of members of the public attended Saturday’s hearings at the Friend of God Church in Goodwood. The church has a capacity of 1,500. Long queues were still seen outside during the hearing and, as people finished submissions, they made space for others to come into the venue. Co-chairperson of the committee Vincent Smith said that following the hearings, the committee would assess the hundreds of thousands of written submissions it received after which it will invite those submitters, who indicated that they wanted to make oral presentations, to hearings at parliament. Once the process had been concluded, the multiparty committee would deliberate extensively on this matter before it reported to both houses of Parliament. The ruling ANC this week announced that it was going ahead with its intention to review the contentious section. In a late address on Tuesday, ANC leader and SA President Cyril Ramaphosa said his party will, through the “parliamentary process, finalise a proposed amendment to the Constitution that outlines more clearly the conditions under which expropriation of land without compensation can be effected”.

90% of You Will Not Be Here In Less Than Seven Years

By Dave Hodges

This is an article that should have been written two years ago when Agenda 2030 was first rolled out. However, I made a fundamental judgment error, just like many of the Jews did in the early days of Nazi Germany. When Hitler first came to power most Jews thought that he was merely a passing fad that would soon fade away. This soon gave way to having the Jews worst nightmares realized. We are facing the same flawed logic with Agenda 2030. What does Agenda 2030 and Hitler have in common? The answer is extreme depopulation of targeted groups. In light of recent events and the rebranding of Agenda 21 into Agenda 2030, I view this concept as the Jews should have viewed the growing, tyrannical power of Hitler. When we look at the CIA’s Deagel projections, 90% of Americans will be gone by 2025 and then it will be full speed ahead to the 2030 goals of the globalists. The year 2030 is taking more importance with each passing day. There is a development related to Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern oil producers that is potentially frightening and catastrophic to each and every America with the date 2030 playing a prominent role. This is the real date that live in infamy and will undoubtedly play a pivotal role in Part Two of this series. Agenda 21 Has Become Agenda 2030 Most of us are familiar with Agenda 21. Agenda 21 is predicated on the notion of sustainable development in which some unnamed source will administer all energy on the planet. In doing so, this unnamed entity will control transportation, all energy, all food production and delivery and the same is true for a high volume of water distribution prior to consumption. Much of the industrialized world has rejected Agenda 21. The true nature of Agenda 21 can be seen when Obama attempted to get the Senate to agree to an 80% reduction of energy consumption immediately after being sworn in as President. Obama was rebuffed at every level. Because the industrialized world has rebuffed much of the UN’s Agenda 21, they have changed their operational name to Agenda 2030 and are merely repackaging the same Brave Sierra under different labels with the same end result goals. Here is an excerpt for the new moniker phrase for the relatively new Agenda 2030: …Sustainable development recognizes that eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions, combating inequality within and among countries… This is clearly a very thinly veiled announced intention to redistribute the wealth. This is abject socialism with the intended goal of the eradication of all private business that is not owned by a global consortium. How bad will life get under Agenda 2030? One can be reasonably certain that Obama’s goal of an 80% reduction in energy consumption is the starting point. Can you imagine your life in which you are allowed to only use 80% of your present energy consumption? In effect, we are looking at the reinstitution of feudalism as a means of governance both politically and economically. And for nations like America, the drop in lifestyle will be more dramatic. Throughout Agenda 2030, they tell the reader quite clearly that wealth redistribution both within and between nations is a primary goal. This means that your wealth and standard of living as an American is in real jeopardy. If the readers will spend an afternoon going through Agenda 2030 goals, one will undoubtedly come to the same conclusion that I have. When we strip away the noble sounding 17 new sustainable development goals, called SDG’s, the means for obtaining these lofty goals is draconian. You, as an American, will have your life reduced to the level of serfdom. Who Has Dominion Over the Planet? The devil is in the details as they say. The key word here is devil. Yes, these perpetrators of Agenda 2030 are indeed Satanic. How do I know that this is true? Simply use a search engine and enter the term GAIA. This is paganism and satanic occult “religion” rolled into one concept, the worship of the mother earth. This is the guiding light that the UN is using to impose their will on the world. This is without question, the Satanic takeover of the planet. In the Bible, the Lord gives mankind dominion over the earth and all that resides in it. Under Agenda 2030, man is relegated to the bottom of the power pyramid. This UN philosophy/religion explains the radical environmentalism that we see from agencies such as the EPA and the BLM. For example, in the Northwest, entire logging communities have disappeared because of the spotted owl. Under Agenda 2030, the spotted owl has more rights than man. How Bad Will It Get? In its simplest terms, the Agenda 2030, UN based document is claiming that today’s “consumption and production” patterns are unsustainable, so we’ll need to get by with less. The late globalist, Maurice Strong, said it best when he stated “It is clear that current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle-class … involving high meat intake, consumption of large amounts of frozen and ‘convenience’ foods, ownership of motor vehicles, numerous electrical appliances, home and workplace air-conditioning … expensive suburban housing … are not sustainable.” Agenda 2030 states that, “We recommit to broadening and strengthening the voice and participation of developing countries [the regimes ruling those countries] — including African countries, least developed countries, land-locked developing countries, small-island developing States and middle-income countries — in international economic decision-making, norm-setting and global economic governance.” Translation: Hold on to your wallets America because the UN is coming for your money to fund the rise of the third world. The rise of third world will produce new consumers for globalist products and services. This was foretold in 1970 when elite globalist Brzezinski wrote a book called Between the Two Ages The Technotronic Era. The book called for the redistribution of resources between the Northern to the Southern hemisphere. Brzezinski was no small player, he was a co-founder of the Trilateral Commission with David Rockefeller and served as President Carter’s national security advisor. The Trump Agenda President Trump’s economic policies are the antithesis of Agenda 2030. His tariffs designed to promote “fair” trade promotes nationalism, not globalism. Trump’s economic policies are targeting Blacks and Hispanics in large numbers and in very dramatic ways. Black unemployment has reached a record low. Hispanics are experiencing much the same. Both groups do not need the socialist intervention of Agenda 2030 With this in mind, it is important to consider what is going on inside of Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern oil producers. What is going on in the Middle East is dramatic and shocking and will be covered in the next part of this series. In Part Two, I will detail how Agenda 2030 is being implemented despite the fact that Donald Trump is president. From an economic point of view, Trump is the champion of the people. However, he is not playing ball with the globalists in which their false resource scarcity Agenda 2030 models do not apply. However, the globalists don’t care, they have moved on without him. It is really interesting that the UN is treating Trump’s presidency as a speed bump in the road. The UN is obviously confident that their Agenda 2030 will outlast the Trump presidency. Agenda 2030 has commenced and is advancing across the planet. Please keep in mind, that 90% of you reading these words will not be here in less than seven years. Maybe it is time to start paying attention because all the dire predictions, the noting of globalists announcing their bad intentions toward humanity, are now being realized politically and economically. Ignorance is no longer bliss.

Mercury, Venus and Saturn directly above the Great Pyramids in Giza, Egypt.

Seems like the folks of what we call "ancient" times, were a lot smarter than we give them credit for.

The photo was taken on July 31, 2018. This only happens once every 2373 years.

UPDATE: THIS MAY BE IN ERROR. Information has come to me saying a similar photo was published on the Internet in 2012. The photo above was sent to me by an astrophysicist who claimed it only happens once each 2373 years. I found it intriguing and offered it here for my readers. If this astrophysicist was in error, I apologize for passing along erroneous info, but in any event, it is quite interesting the way these planets specifically line up with pyramids built so long ago in Egypt. No coincidences! Enjoy.

Trump Revives Iran Sanctions

Monday, 06 August 2018 12:03 PM

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday reimposing many sanctions on Iran, three months after pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal, saying the U.S. policy is to levy "maximum economic pressure" on the country. In a statement, Trump said the 2015 international accord to freeze Iran's nuclear program in return for lifting sanctions was a "horrible, one-sided deal" and said it left the Iranian government flush with cash to use to fuel conflict in the Middle East. "We urge all nations to take such steps to make clear that the Iranian regime faces a choice: either change its threatening, destabilizing behavior and reintegrate with the global economy, or continue down a path of economic isolation," Trump said. Trump warned that those who don't wind down their economic ties to Iranian "risk severe consequences" under the reimposed sanctions. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says renewed U.S. sanctions on Iran will be rigorously enforced and remain in place until the Iranian government radically changes course. Speaking to reporters en route from a three-nation trip to Southeast Asia, Pompeo said Monday's reimposition of some sanctions is an important pillar in U.S. policy toward Iran. He said the Trump administration is open to looking beyond sanctions but that would "require enormous change" from Tehran. "We're hopeful that we can find a way to move forward but it's going to require enormous change on the part of the Iranian regime," he said Sunday. "They've got to behave like a normal country. That's the ask. It's pretty simple." European foreign ministers said Monday they "deeply regret" the reimposition of U.S. sanctions. A statement by European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini and foreign ministers of France, Germany and the United Kingdom insisted that the 2015 Iran nuclear deal "is working and delivering on its goal" of limiting Iran's nuclear program. The ministers said the Iran deal is "crucial for the security of Europe, the region and the entire world." A senior administration official said the United States is "not particularly concerned" by EU efforts to protect European firms from the reimposition of sanctions. The official was not authorized to discuss the matter by name and spoke Monday on condition of anonymity. The European Union issued a "blocking statute" Monday to protect European businesses from the impact of the sanctions. The official says the U.S. will use the sanctions aggressively and cited Iran's severe economic downturn this year as evidence the sanctions would prove to be effective despite opposition from the EU, China and Russia. Pompeo called the Iranian leadership "bad actors" and said Trump is intent on getting them to "behave like a normal country." A first set of U.S. sanctions that had been eased by the Obama administration under the terms of the landmark 2015 Iran nuclear deal took effect on Monday, following Trump's May decision to withdraw from the accord. Those sanctions target Iran's automotive sector as well as gold and other metals. A second batch of U.S sanctions targeting Iran's oil sector and central bank will be reimposed in early November. Pompeo noted that the U.S has long designated Iran as the world's foremost state sponsor of terrorism and said it cannot expect to be treated as an equal in the international community until it halts such activities. "Perhaps that will be the path the Iranians choose to go down," he said. "But there's no evidence today of a change in their behavior." In the meantime, he said, "we're going to enforce the sanctions."

Analysis: Iran reaches crisis point as U.S. sanctions return

Washington’s harshest sanctions will come back into effect on November 4, by which date the Trump administration hopes to decimate Iran’s oil export market.

By Michael Wilner August 5, 2018 22:44

WASHINGTON – Faced with a spiraling currency crisis, protests nationwide and the return of biting American sanctions on Monday, Iran’s government is poised to take a series of actions this week meant to project defiance abroad and control at home. Protests that have slowly simmered since January spread last week to Iran’s largest cities, including Shiraz, Isfahan, and sporadically throughout Tehran itself, as corruption, mismanagement and external financial restrictions began to take their toll. The rial hit a new low as locals prepared for the US Treasury Department to cut off Iran’s access to the dollar, severely hampering the country’s ability to conduct basic financial transactions. One man was shot dead in the city of Karaj protesting the dilapidated state of the economy while hundreds more were allegedly arrested in cities from Eshtehard to Arak, in a round of demonstrations covered by state-run media outlets largely dismissive of the movement thus far. Last week, in a show of force to Washington and its Gulf allies, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps’ naval forces conducted a drill in the Strait of Hormuz typically held later in the year and with an extensive publicity lead-up. Over 100 “swarming” boats practiced closing the critical strait, demonstrating Iran’s ability to “control and maintain the security of the international waterway” and “confront threats and potential adventurous acts of enemies,” an IRGC spokesman said on Sunday. Over 20% of the world’s oil passes through the strait each day. Then, on Saturday, the government approved plans by Iran’s Central Bank to limit access to official currency rates to essential imports and to restrict foreign currency access to local businesses. The emergency moves came as the rial hit 111,000 to the dollar, and marks part of a financial “rescue package” that Tehran plans to unveil in full on Monday, a Central Bank spokesman told local press, as the first round of US sanctions previously lifted under a 2015 international nuclear deal snap back into place. In addition to cutting off Iran from dollars and gold, US sanctions enforced on Monday will also restrict Iran’s access to industrial metals and target the country’s automotive sector, its exports of carpets and its sale of pistachios. Washington’s harshest sanctions will come back into effect on November 4, by which date the Trump administration hopes to decimate Iran’s oil export market. Cash strapped and desperate, Tehran has reportedly sought to withdraw funds parked overseas with limited success. According to The Wall Street Journal, Iran may lose access to $400 million of its money sat in a German account if Berlin proceeds with a new financial rule that would bar transactions adversely affecting its relationship with fellow central banks and institutions – in particular, the Federal Reserve and Treasury Department. Iran did receive five French-made turboprop planes over the weekend for its domestic commercial fleet, marking what may be Tehran’s last tangible benefit from its nuclear agreement with world powers. That 2015 accord – brokered with France, Britain, Germany, Russia, China, and the US – had exchanged caps on Iran’s nuclear work for international sanctions relief. Since US President Donald Trump withdrew from the agreement in May, businesses that were testing the waters in Iran have largely fled, fearing instability and a cutoff from the US financial system. Iranian officials say they may pull out of the agreement themselves, or begin enriching uranium anew, unless Europe can guarantee it the benefits it was promised under the nuclear deal. To that end, talks between Tehran and European powers have stalled.

U.S. Official Blames UN Agency for Perpetuating Palestinian Refugee Crisis

By Deborah Danan 6 Aug 2018100

TEL AVIV – The Trump administration maintains that the UN agency for Palestinian refugees is a fundamentally flawed institution that is perpetuating the refugee crisis and thwarting any progress, a senior U.S. official told The Jerusalem Post. Palestinian refugees are the only refugees in the world that pass that status onto their descendants in perpetuity. While United Nations Relief and Works Agency, or UNRWA, is said to minister to 5.1 million “refugees,” the numbers are unclear, with conflicting statistics regarding the Palestinian diaspora. Palestinian refugees’ unique status, the official said, “has perpetuated and exacerbated the refugee crisis.” He added that UNRWA’s mandate “must be changed so the Palestinian people can reach their full potential.” On Friday, Foreign Policy magazine published emails by President Donald Trump’s senior adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner and other members of the peace team that slammed the agency and called for it to be shuttered. The official corroborated the content of some of the emails which outlined an investigation ordered by Trump into the agency. “The US policy regarding UNRWA has been under frequent evaluation and internal discussion. The administration will announce its policy on UNRWA in due course,” the administration official said. “UNRWA’s financial situation has been unsustainable for a long time, and for years we have voiced the need for UNRWA to seek out new voluntary funding streams, increase financial burden-sharing among donors, and find ways to reduce expenditures.” “It is important to have an honest and sincere effort to disrupt UNRWA,” Kushner wrote in an email dated January 11, a few days before the U.S. froze $65 million in funding for UNRWA. “This [agency] perpetuates a status quo, is corrupt, inefficient and doesn’t help peace.” Another email written by adviser to Trump’s Middle East peace envoy Jason Greenblatt suggested closing UNRWA as part of a peace deal. “UNRWA should come up with a plan to unwind itself and become part of the UNHCR [UN High Commissioner for Refugees] by the time its charter comes up again in 2019,” wrote Victoria Coates. She noted that the proposition was one of a number of “spitball ideas that I’ve had that are also informed by some thoughts I’ve picked up from Jared, Jason and [UN envoy] Nikki [Haley]” Other proposals included a suggestion that the UN agency be asked to operate on a monthly budget and come up with “a plan to remove all anti-Semitism from educational materials.” UNRWA has also come under fire on many occasions for spreading anti-Semitic hate in its schools and employing members of terror organizations and supporters of terror. In February, UN Watch released an 130-page report exposing 40 UNRWA school employees in Gaza and elsewhere who engaged in incitement to terror against Israelis and expressed “anti-Semitism, including by posting Holocaust-denying videos and pictures celebrating Hitler.” That month the agency also announced the suspension of an UNRWA employee suspected of having been elected a Hamas leader. The UN itself released a report in 2015 that found Palestinian terror groups used three empty UNRWA schools in Gaza as a weapons cache. Moreover, it said that in at least two cases terrorists “probably” fired rockets at Israel from the schools during the 50-day summer conflict in 2014 between Israel and Hamas. In January, Trump slammed the PA over its refusal to deal with the US, saying his administration should not continue to give “massive payments” to the Palestinians when they are “no longer willing to talk peace.”

Farming impact of Australia's worst drought in living memory

August 5, 2018 / 10:46 PM / a day ago Reuters Staff

(Reuters) - The worst drought in living memory is sweeping parts of eastern Australia, leaving farmers struggling to cope and asking questions about their future. (For graphic on Australia drought thumbnails IMG, click tmsnrt.rs/2vgh37q) Record-low rainfall in some regions and successive seasons of above-average temperatures have blighted vast tracts of Australia’s grazing and crop land. While the weather has improved in parts of Western Australia, winter rain has gone missing across much of the country’s east, leaving farmers praying for rain after planting seed in dry soil or culling cattle and sheep they can no longer afford to feed. New South Wales, which just recorded its fifth-driest July on record, has been hardest hit. About 99 percent of the state – which accounts for a quarter of Australia’s agricultural output by value – is now officially in drought. (For graphic on Australia drought thumbnails Rainfall, click tmsnrt.rs/2LXOaXl) The maps below show the impact of drought on vegetation. Eastern Australia has suffered major losses since 2016, the most recent year without major drought. (For graphic on Australia drought thumbnails Vegitation, click tmsnrt.rs/2M04A1k) A DUST BOWL With grazing pastures turned to dust and feed costly and scarce, the drought is having a major impact on livestock. (For graphic on Australia drought thumbnails IMG, click tmsnrt.rs/2vi4BE4) Farmers have been shipping in hay from growers in the country’s west or the far north to feed their livestock. Even those sources are now being depleted, however, and as grain silos in the south are emptied, desperate owners are being forced to slaughter animals, even if it means it will take years for herds to recover. The cull will ultimately leave the size of Australia’s national herd at a record low, ushering in a prolonged period of livestock rebuilding and higher prices for the industry. (For graphic on Australia drought thumbnails Farm areas, click tmsnrt.rs/2M8GqC0)

UNDER THE SURFACE Seeds rely not only on rainfall but also moisture already in the soil, which carries nutrients for plant growth and regulates soil temperature. The drought has devastated large swathes of eastern Australia’s crop land, which supplies about a third of the nation’s wheat. (For graphic on Australia drought thumbnails IMG, click tmsnrt.rs/2M4te0A) Australia’s last winter was the warmest since records began more than a century ago and one of the 10 driest, sapping moisture from the earth. Dry conditions since have only made things worse, leaving farmers to plant dry and hope for rain to salvage their crops. (For graphic on Australia drought thumbnails Root zone soil, click tmsnrt.rs/2M3fQtL) Last year, drought cut Australia’s output to the lowest level in a decade. This season has got off to an even worse start, with farmers planting in some of the driest soil in years. (For graphic on Australia drought thumbnails Moisture seasonal chart, click tmsnrt.rs/2M8Gq4Y Australia’s official forecaster has trimmed its estimate of this year’s wheat crop to 21.9 million tonnes, but warned yields would fall further without rain. Some private forecasters say the crop could be as low as 13 million tonnes, which would be the lowest since the drought-stricken 2008 harvest.

LOOKING DEEPER The ground in drought-hit regions has dried out to such a depth that it is even killing large trees. Scientists have reported more swathes of forest are dying off, while farmers point to trees that have survived 100 years on their properties but which are now dying before their eyes. (For graphic on Australia drought thumbnails IMG, click tmsnrt.rs/2vggqL6) Deep-rooted vegetation can access moisture down to levels of about 6 meters (yards). However, these areas have been too dry for too long, and the effects are becoming visible. (For graphic on Australia drought thumbnails Deep soil diagram, click tmsnrt.rs/2M11CJR) The map below shows deep soil moisture over the last year relative to normal levels. The east is hardest hit, with large areas of New South Wales and Queensland seeing extreme deficiencies. (For graphic on Australia drought thumbnails Deep soil map, click tmsnrt.rs/2M11xpx) The current dry period is not as extensive as the Millennium drought of 1997-2005, which devastated nearly 50 percent of the country’s agricultural land and was associated with two El Nino systems, which bring hot, dry weather to Australia. But analysts and industry experts worry about how badly conditions have already deteriorated, especially since El Nino weather may be just around the corner. “Drought is a little bit like cancer,” says Margo Wollaston, who lives with her cattle farmer husband, Tom, 70, outside Tamworth in northwest New South Wales. “It sort of eats away at you, and it just gets drier and drier and more severe and more severe.”

Verified Saudi Account Seemingly Threatens Canada With 9/11 Style Attack

CC BY 2.0 / 9/11 Photos / 9/11 WTC Photo

World 19:15 06.08.2018(updated 19:46 06.08.2018)

Relations between Saudi Arabia and Canada deteriorated after Ottawa criticized Riyadh’s detention of two women’s and human rights activists, and called for their immediate release. A verified Saudi Twitter account with over 350,000 followers posted a tweet on Monday morning seemingly threatening to launch a 9/11 style attack against Canada’s CN Tower. The tweet, which was deleted around six hours after it was posted, was of an infographic with Ontario’s skyline as its background and a passenger plane flying towards the CN Tower. It was captioned, “Sticking one’s nose where it doesn’t belong. As the Arabic saying goes: He who interferes with what doesn’t concern him finds what doesn’t please him.” The tweet might have been taken down by the account’s administrators or deleted by Twitter for violating its terms of use. The account has since posted another version of the infographic, without the plane, but the damage has already been done, with many noticing the attempted cover-up.

Conservatives Banned From Social Media? Here's What They Can Do About It

Wednesday, 01 August 2018 03:23 Brandon Smith

The past two years have seen a rather aggressive change in corporate policies toward the very customers they used to covet. Not long ago, CEOs tended to keep their political views mostly in the closet. Companies remained publicly neutral because their goal was first and foremost to make money. When they wanted to influence politics or social norms, they bought politicians — you know, the good old-fashioned way. The big banks still do this by funneling cash to both Republicans and Democrats alike However, in the wake of the social justice cult frenzy some companies have decided that ideology is more important than profit, and most of these companies are deeply involved in various forms of media. Some people will argue that the media has always been leftist in its orientation and that this trend is nothing new. But, I think it is clear to anyone who has worked in countering mainstream media disinformation that something is very different today. Conservatives are being “cleansed” from participation in these communications platforms, and conservative ideals are being erased or misrepresented on a massive scale. Not long ago, media companies at least pretended to be “fair and balanced” by tolerating a certain level of participation by conservatives. No longer. With the advent of the internet and social media, participation in political discussion has become more open to the common citizen than ever before. This is apparently an intolerable side effect that corporate elites would like to do away with. It is a slightly complex problem, so I’ll try to break it down point by point: First, companies like Facebook, Google and Twitter are not honest in the presentation of their own image. They initially depicted themselves as bastions of social commerce without any interest in ideological battles. If they had come right out in the open from the beginning and admitted they are running their platforms based on social justice lunacy, then perhaps conservatives would not have bothered to join in the first place. Then Facebook and others could keep their forums “ideologically pure” without misleading people. Second, while these companies do have standards of behavior and rules for participants, the rules are deliberately broad and vaporous. They claim their rules focus on more abhorrent behaviors like overt racism, but then go on to define almost EVERYTHING that they disagree with as “racist.” This includes most conservative viewpoints and arguments. Therefore, it appears that social media corporations want to fool as many people as possible into joining their platforms, getting them addicted to participation, and then these companies want to have the option of controlling those people’s behavior through the fear of losing access. Third, while this is clearly ideological zealotry, social media websites are also private property. They are not "free speech zones". They can invite people in, and they can demand people leave anytime they wish. If conservatives are going to argue in favor of private property rights and voluntary participation rights, then they must include private websites in this. So then, what is the solution? Some will claim that social media giants represent a public utility rather than private property and that they should be subjected to regulation by government in terms of political discrimination. I disagree. Giving government EVEN MORE intrusive powers into how businesses function from day to day is not the answer. Allowing government to indiscriminately label a business or website a “public utility” is essentially nationalization of private property; something very common in communist countries but a habit that should be avoided in America. We need less government and less bureaucracy, not more, and conservatives need to remember that while leftists present a constant annoyance, it is big government that remains the ultimate threat to individual freedom. They may start with Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc., but where does it stop? How long before government is enforcing participation rules on all websites? How long before conservative websites are required to allow leftist trolls and disinformation agents of every stripe the freedom to rampage through their forums without any recourse to remove them? How long before government shifts over to the other side of the aisle and conservatives start kicking themselves for passing laws that are then used against them? That said, there are some issues with corporations in general that need to be addressed when considering this conundrum. For example, many corporations are not normal businesses in the free market sense. Corporations only exist because of government charter and protections like limited liability. This is where many hardcore Anarcho-capitalists I have dealt with in the past tend to go wrong in their rabid defense of corporations and monopolies. The reality is that corporations are a product of government and are not a natural function of free markets. Facebook has received considerable government aid. For years Facebook has been offered special tax breaks to the extent that in some cases they have avoided taxes to the IRS altogether. Show me how many small-business owners get that kind of treatment from the government! Facebook has also allowed intrusive data mining operations including government operations and corporate operations to spy on its users and has so far suffered little consequences beyond a slap on the wrist. Facebook has even maintained partnerships with foreign entities considered national security threats to the U.S. This does not mean that companies like Facebook should be nationalized and turned into public utilities in a socialist free-for-all. But it does mean that corporations should not exist in the form they do today if we are to ever find balance. I would first advocate for the end of the legal protections afforded under “corporate personhood.” When a company like Facebook is sued or prosecuted for its trespasses and criminality, the company itself is treated as if it is a legal person. Mark Zuckerberg and his ilk are not punished: the company is punished. This usually ends in fines which amount to nothing more than pocket change. Under Adam Smith’s model of free markets, corporations (or joint stock companies as they were called in his day), were not acceptable. As mentioned, they are not a function of free markets. Partnerships are, though. Reducing corporations down to partnerships and removing corporate welfare and government protections would go a long way in solving the dangers of business elites and their control of entire swaths of public communication (among many other sectors). This is why I am also a proponent of the breakup of corporate monopolies. If a corporation, unfairly aided by government in numerous ways, becomes so large and influential that free market competition with that company is impossible, then it should be broken up into separate competing companies so that there is more incentive to keep customers rather than discriminate against them. This is just one solution to the problem of social media outlets that are attempting to cut out one-half of the American public. If the breakup of monopolies is not possible, or if one company is separated into competing parts and these parts STILL cling to ideological zealotry rather than pursuing sound business practices, then it is up to conservatives themselves to create an alternative. That’s right — I’m saying it’s time for a conservative (or truly neutral) Facebook, a conservative Twitter, a conservative YouTube, etc. More government domination of business is not an option, and it’s certainly not conservative in spirit. What is conservative in spirit is industry and self-reliance. I see no reason why a conservative or neutral social media outlet would not be financially successful, as long as it is not interfered with by government. If the system is not offering a necessity or service, or it is restricting a necessity or service, then it is up to free people to provide that necessity or service for themselves instead of relying on others to do it for them. I do fear that that the social justice aggression within corporations against conservatives is part of a larger and more subversive plan. If one studies the leftist tactics of socialist gatekeeper Saul Alinsky, one would discover that they often use the strategy of harassing their enemies to illicit a vicious overreaction. Meaning, it may be the goal of the leftists or globalists (who have no loyalty to either side) to manipulate conservatives through their own anger. Conservatives are portrayed as evil and monstrous tyrants, or as dumb bumbling bigots in most current media. The social justice ideology is placed on a pedestal as unassailable and untouchable in movies, television shows and even commercials. It is treated as absolute truth that cannot be questioned or debated. In the meantime, social media companies seek to gain vast market share of communications spaces and then reduce conservative presence there so that we cannot argue our side of the issues. I get it. There is every reason for conservatives to be pissed off. But, we need to look at the bigger picture. It is possible that the goal on the part of these companies is not necessarily to merely silence conservative voices on their forums or to slander us in ridiculous misrepresentations. It could be that they hope we will become enraged, and that we will respond by abandoning our own principles to attack them back. They want us to become the monsters that they are portraying us as. Even if we win, we lose. I have already outlined examples of how we can fight back without breaking our own ideals and morals; moving to expand government power in this area is completely unnecessary. The fight is not just over modes of communication, it is over conscience and identity. The latter must not be sacrificed to obtain the former.

MSM Whines Over 'Enemy Of The People' Label - Claims Trump Rhetoric 'Dangerous' But Ignores How Much Violence & Harassment Media Rhetoric Has Caused

July 31, 2018 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

The level of complete blindness and intellectual dishonesty on the part of the establishment media still manages to astound me. Their inability to "see" that from the very start of the Trump presidency they have deliberately done everything in the power to terrify the nation, causing an epidemic of "Trump Anxiety Disorder," that has led to hundreds of examples of violence and harassment against Trump supporters, yet now whining that President Trump's statements about the Fake News being the "enemy of the people," is "dangerous," and "will lead to violence." FROM DAY ONE THE MEDIA DELIBERATELY TERRIFIED LIBERALS Many have seen the flashback video below, but in order to adequately show proof of the establishment media deliberately and irresponsibly terrifying liberals all across the U.S., we have to remember the immediate and very public, on-air statements, aka meltdowns, from well known names in the media, who are supposed to report the "news" objectively, and high profile talk show hosts. NEARLY TWO YEARS LATER......... Jumping back to present day: ANP reported just days ago that therapists across the country are seeing an epidemic of what they call "Trump Anxiety Disorder," from their patients. In that report we quoted multiple mental health experts that specifically cited constant "negative media coverage," as one of the reasons for the TAD they are seeing, which they admitted was the same malady which conservatives have dubbed "Trump Derangement Syndrome." (Read more about that here) In those nearly two years, ANP and many others have documented a significant number of actual "fake news" stories from the establishment media about President Trump. Many needed corrections, editors notes, retractions, deletions and total rewriting, including title changes, because the initial reports were completely false and/or misleading. In one case the errors were so egregious an ABC News anchor, Brian Ross was suspended without pay after his fake news tanked the stock market, and in another case three CNN employees were forced to resign. President Trump has called them out publicly at rallies and on his Twitter account. Back in July 2017, long time, and former left-leaning journalist Michael Goodwin, in an outstanding article, discussed "why the media has broken down in the age of Trump," and put the majority of the blame on the New York Times and the Washington Post, stating "The two leading liberal newspapers were trying to top each other in their demonization of Trump and his supporters. They set the tone, and most of the rest of the media followed like lemmings." Thus began the spate of stories, which continues today, in which the Times routinely calls Trump a liar in its news pages and headlines. Again, the contrast with the past is striking. The Times never called Barack Obama a liar, despite such obvious opportunities as “you can keep your doctor” and “the Benghazi attack was caused by an internet video.” Indeed, the Times and the Washington Post, along with most of the White House press corps, spent eight years cheerleading the Obama administration, seeing not a smidgen of corruption or dishonesty. They have been tougher on Hillary Clinton during her long career. But they still never called her a liar, despite such doozies as “I set up my own computer server so I would only need one device,”I turned over all the government emails,” and “I never sent or received classified emails.” All those were lies, but not to the national media. Only statements by Trump were fair game. As we know now, most of the media totally missed Trump’s appeal to millions upon millions of Americans. The prejudice against him blinded those news organizations to what was happening in the country. Even more incredibly, I believe the bias and hostility directed at Trump backfired. The feeling that the election was, in part, a referendum on the media gave some voters an extra incentive to vote for Trump. A vote for him was a vote against the media and against Washington. Not incidentally, Trump used that sentiment to his advantage, often revving up his crowds with attacks on reporters. He still does. If I haven’t made it clear, let me do so now. The behavior of much of the media, but especially the New York Times, was a disgrace. I don’t believe it ever will recover the public trust it squandered. Now we see that the New York Times publisher, A.G. Sulzberger, is the latest in a long line of journalists and media personalities whining to President Trump about his public statements calling the "fake news media" an "enemy of the people," and claiming that such rhetoric is "dangerous," and "is contributing to a rise in threats against journalists and will lead to violence." “I told the president directly that I thought that his language was not just divisive but increasingly dangerous,” said Sulzberger, who became publisher of The Times on Jan. 1. “I told him that although the phrase ‘fake news’ is untrue and harmful, I am far more concerned about his labeling journalists ‘the enemy of the people,'” Sulzberger continued. “I warned that this inflammatory language is contributing to a rise in threats against journalists and will lead to violence.” Really? What about the the dozens of NYT and Wapo reporters, and network station talking heads, and CNN so-called "journalists," etc, and their daily, sometimes hourly "inflammatory language" and constant attacks on President Trump, his supporters, his policies, his tweets, his statements, his rallies, etc..? MEDIA'S WILFULL BLINDNESS AND INTELLECTUAL DISHONESTY Sulzberger wants to complain about the president calling them on their fake news, their consistent negative and hostile coverage, claiming it "will lead to violence," yet refuses to acknowledge the media hysteria, and outright fake news, inaccurate reporting, and general hostility towards President Trump and his supporters since before the election, has led to over 538 documented cases of violence, harassment and vandalism against Trump supporters, administration officials and conservatives across the country. 388 of them since the 2016 presidential election. He wants to whine about how the President's rhetoric against a biased and dishonest press causes "threats," that may potentially lead to violence against journalists, when the media's actions already has led to a significant amount of violence, death threats against Republican congressmen's young children, destruction of property, and Trump supporters who have been harassed and physically attacked in public, sometimes for doing nothing but wearing a MAGA hat, or having a Trump flag on their lawn? Note- This was going to be my article on Monday, but I truly could not wrap my head around the amount of mental gymnastics that Sulzberger had to display to be able to offer those quotes, while totally ignoring the fact that his publication, along with Wapo, CNN,, and other network news stations, have literally infected nearly half the nation with Trump Derangement Syndrome, or to be more politically correct, as the mental health experts call it, "Trump Anxiety Disorder." Greg Gutfield discusses that in his intro segment below. BOTTOM LINE Not only has the establishment media treated half the nation, Trump supporters, as if they are the "enemy," but they have deliberately terrorized the other half of the nation into "fear of the world ending," which is a direct quote from a mental health expert when describing the patients being treated for "Trump Anxiety Disorder." (Source) Newsflash for the media: Friends do not attack each other, enemies do. Friends do not terrorize each other, enemies do. Liberals may not view the media as the enemy because the media is now reinforcing the terror they have been programming them to believe since before the 2016 election, but the other half of us see the media clearly for what they are and what they have been doing. We didn't need the President to tell us, we see it every single day in the news' headlines, on television, and from media pundits on social media. If the media wants to stop being called the enemy of the people, then they should stop acting like it.

Napolitano Bombshell: Manafort Exonerated of Same Charges EIGHT Years Ago!

Rod Rosenstein was the prosecutor that led to the exoneration!

Infowars.com - July 31, 2018

In a television interview, Judge Anthony Napolitano explained how Paul Manafort was exonerated of the same charges eight years ago by then-prosecutor Rod Rosenstein. The Judge’s words back up President Trump’s “Witch Hunt” argument as there’s a clear bias to this entire media circus the nation has endured for months. “Paul Manafort was investigated by the federal government by a team of federal prosecutors and FBI agents for all this stuff eight years ago and they exonerated him,” said Napolitano. “And who was the young prosecutor that led that exoneration? Rod Rosenstein.”

The Number Of Americans Living In Their Vehicles “Explodes” As The Middle Class Continues To Disappear

Sadly, it isn’t just major urban areas that are seeing more people sleeping in their vehicles.

Michael Snyder | Economic Collapse - August 1, 2018 269 Comments

The Number Of Americans Living In Their Vehicles “Explodes” As The Middle Class Continues To Disappear If the U.S. economy is really doing so well, then why is homelessness rising so rapidly?

As the gap between the rich and the poor continues to increase, the middle class is steadily eroding. In fact, I recently gave my readers 15 signs that the middle class in America is being systematically destroyed. More Americans are falling out of the middle class and into poverty with each passing day, and this is one of the big reasons why the number of homeless is surging. For example, the number of people living on the street in L.A. has shot up 75 percent over the last 6 years. But of course L.A. is far from alone. Other major cities on the west coast are facing similar problems, and that includes Seattle. It turns out that the Emerald City has seen a 46 percent rise in the number of people sleeping in their vehicles in just the past year… The number of people who live in their vehicles because they can’t find affordable housing is on the rise, even though the practice is illegal in many U.S. cities. The number of people residing in campers and other vehicles surged 46 percent over the past year, a recent homeless census in Seattle’s King County, Washington found. The problem is “exploding” in cities with expensive housing markets, including Los Angeles, Portland and San Francisco, according to Governing magazine. Amazon, Microsoft and other big tech companies are in the Seattle area. It is a region that is supposedly “prospering”, and yet this is going on. Sadly, it isn’t just major urban areas that are seeing more people sleeping in their vehicles. Over in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, many of the homeless sleep in their vehicles even in the middle of winter… Stephanie Monroe, managing director of Children Youth & Family Services at Volunteers of America, Dakotas, tells a similar story. At least 25 percent of the non-profit’s Sioux Falls clients have lived in their vehicles at some point, even during winter’s sub-freezing temperatures. “Many of our communities don’t have formal shelter services,” she said in an interview. “It can lead to individuals resorting to living in their cars or other vehicles.” It is time to admit that we have a problem. The number of homeless in this country is surging, and we need to start coming up with some better solutions. But instead, many communities are simply passing laws that make it illegal for people to sleep in their vehicles… A recent survey by the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty (NLCHP), which tracks policies in 187 cities, found the number of prohibitions against vehicle residency has more than doubled during the last decade. Those laws aren’t going to solve anything. At best, they will just encourage some of the homeless to go somewhere else. And if our homelessness crisis is escalating this dramatically while the economy is supposedly “growing”, how bad are things going to be once the next recession officially begins? We live at a time when the cost of living is soaring but our paychecks are not. As a result, middle class families are being squeezed like never before. A recent Marketwatch article highlighted the plight of California history teacher Matt Barry and his wife Nicole… Barry’s wife, Nicole, teaches as well — they each earn $69,000, a combined salary that not long ago was enough to afford a comfortable family life. But due to the astronomical costs in his area, including real estate — a 1,500-square-foot “starter home” costs $680,000 — driving for Uber was a necessity. “Teachers are killing themselves,” Barry says in Alissa Quart’s new book, “Squeezed: Why Our Families Can’t Afford America” (Ecco), out Tuesday. “I shouldn’t be having to drive Uber at eight o’clock at night on a weekday. I just shut down from the mental toll: grading papers between rides, thinking of what I could be doing instead of driving — like creating a curriculum.” Home prices are completely out of control, but that bubble should soon burst. However, other elements of our cost of living are only going to become even more painful. Health care costs rise much faster than the rate of inflation every year, food prices are becoming incredibly ridiculous, and the cost of a college education is off the charts. According to author Alissa Quart, living a middle class life is “30% more expensive” than it was two decades ago… “Middle-class life is now 30% more expensive than it was 20 years ago,” Quart writes, citing the costs of housing, education, health care and child care in particular. “In some cases the cost of daily life over the last 20 years has doubled.” And thanks to the trade war, prices are going to start going up more rapidly than we have seen in a very long time. On Tuesday, we learned that diaper and toilet paper prices are rising again… Procter & Gamble said on Tuesday that it was in the process of raising Pampers’ prices in North America by 4%. P&G also began notifying retailers this week that it would increase the average prices of Bounty, Charmin, and Puffs by 5%. P&G is raising prices because commodity and transportation cost pressures are intensifying. The hikes to Bounty and Charmin will go into effect in late October, and Puffs will become more expensive beginning early next year. I wish that I had better news for you, but I don’t. We are all going to have to work harder, smarter and more efficiently. And we are definitely going to have to tighten our belts. Many middle class families are relying on debt to get them from month to month, and consumer debt in the United States has surged to an all-time high. But eventually a day of reckoning comes, and we all understand that. The U.S. economy is not going to be getting any better than it is right now. So it is time to be a lean, mean saving machine, because it will be important to have a financial cushion for the hard times that are ahead of us.

Florida Launches Gun Confiscation Program, 467 Forced To Surrender Guns

By Tyler Durden Tue, 07/31/2018 - 23:53

More than 467 people in Florida have been ordered by the government to surrender their firearms since March under a new law passed after the deadly Parkland shooting in February, according to a local ABC broadcaster. The Risk Protection Order, is a “Red Flag” law that Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) signed several weeks after former student Nikolas Cruz killed 17 people at Stoneman Douglas High School in March, allows the local government to disarm the civilian population if a judge determines they are a threat to themselves or others. Under the new law, state officials have the ability to file risk-protection petitions against irresponsible gun owners in court, which could result in local law enforcement stripping that individual of the second amendment. Recently, Sgt. Jason Schmittendorf, who is employed by the Pinellas County Sheriff’s office, told ABC News that Tampa Bay officers have “taken in about 200 firearms and around 30,000 rounds of ammunition.” “You’ve got an AK-47 style here and an AR-15 style there. We’ve got some rifles and a cache of handguns,” said Schmittendorf, who showed the ABC News team some of the weapons confiscated under the new law. The Sheriff’s office has assembled a five-person team devoted to working only risk protection cases. Since March, the group has filed 64 risk protection petitions in court, the second highest number of cases in the state. Broward County leads with 88 risk protection petitions (as of early-July). “It’s a constitutional right to bear arms and when you are asking the court to deprive somebody of that right we need to make sure we are making good decisions, right decisions and the circumstances warrant it,” explained Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri when asked by ABC News why he decided to form an entire unit dedicated to upholding the new law. To get more clarity on Sheriff Gualtieri’s thought process, he also happens to be the chairman of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Commission, a task force designed to prevent future school shootings. Since March, ABC has learned that the new law has had over 467 risk protection cases filed across the state (as of July 24th), according to the FL Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (DOACS). DOACS is in charge of gun permitting in Florida and is informed when a petition is filed. An agency spokesperson told ABC that “over a quarter of risk protection cases filed so far involve concealed license firearm holders whose license temporarily is suspended once the order is granted.” However, attorney Kendra Parris — who believes the new law could be disastrous — disagrees with the idea that state officials are making the right decisions. “I think we’re doing this because it makes us feel safer,” said Parris, in an interview with ABC. “What’s wrong with that,” asked reporter Katie LaGrone. “It violates the constitution,” responded Parris. Kendra Parris, Attorney, seen in an interview with reporter Katie LaGrone (Source/ ABC) After four-and-a-half months of the new law, Parris believes Florida’s version of the “Red Flag” law has revealed some important grey areas that need to be addressed: including state officials targeting citizens with risk-protection petitions who do not have histories of violence or mental illness. “These are individuals who are often exercising their first amendment rights online, who are protecting constitutionally protected speech online,” she said. “Maybe it was odious, maybe people didn’t like it but they were hit with the risk protection order because of it,” she said. Parris told ABC News that she represented University of Central Florida student, Chris Velasquez, who made national headlines in March when Orlando police filed a risk protection petition after he spoke highly of mass shooters on social media. In another case, Parris describes, a minor, who said she wanted to kill people on social media. Parris mentioned that in both cases, the individuals did not own guns and both won their court cases. “The people whom I’ve represented fought back because they care about their future not because they cared about owning firearms,” she told ABC. Parris suggested that the law needs to be redefined to only target citizens with proof of gun ownership or who have histories of attempting to purchase one. In addition, she said the law needs to have a better understanding of who is an “imminent” threat and who is a “threat.” “As it’s written now the harm can be in 6 months or maybe in a year this person will go crazy, we don’t know but out of an abundance of caution we need to get this risk protection in place,” she said. According to ABC News, Pinellas County has the majority of risk protection cases in the state and most involve people with mental illness. With “Red Flag” Laws popping up across the country, it seems as the government’s plan to strip civilians of their firearms is already in motion.

The United Nations Wants Americas Forced Compliance Or Else…190 Members Approve!

Posted by Lisa Haven | Jul 31, 2018 | Featured, World

Over the past month, 190 members of the United Nations gathered together to further the 17 Goals of Sustainable Development via Agenda 2030. When they met, they agreed to the “Global Compact for Migration” a letter that encouraged all member nations of the United Nations to target any person who spoke negatively against Immigration. Furthermore, it details that if media doesn’t comply they should be subjected to penalties. Objective 17 of the 23 objectives reads: “Eliminate all forms of discrimination and promote evidence-based public discourse of shape perceptions of migration” Sub-Section C goes on to state: Promote independent, objective and quality reporting of media outlets, including internet-based information, including by sensitizing and educating media professionals on migration-related issues and terminology, investing in ethical reporting standards and advertising, and stopping allocation of public funding or material support to media outlets that systematically promote intolerance, xenophobia, racism and other forms of discrimination towards migrants, in full respect for the freedom of the media. In other words, the UN has turned being against immigration into a crime of racism. Stand against immigration then you, my friend, are a xenophobic, intolerant, racist. Even though it has nothing to do with the color of one’s skin… All that and more from the document below…

Tomorrow’s Quantum Computers Are Already Threatening Today’s Data

By John Breeden II Read bio July 10, 2018

Large-scale quantum computing could be just five years away. It may seem like the plot of a new Terminator movie, but quantum computers from the future are threatening government data today. But before you accuse me of wearing my tinfoil hat a little too tightly, consider the fact that the future we are talking about may not be that far off. IBM perfected a 50-qbit quantum computer last year and recently opened up its older 20-qbit model for anyone to play with on the web. They estimate that large-scale quantum computers are a mere five years, or less, away. If you need a quick refresher course on quantum computing, feel free to read my explainer column from a few years ago as it has all the details, including a video from the National Science Foundation talking about quantum technology. Suffice to say, quantum computers look at all the possibilities for a bit of information at the same time, as opposed to traditional computers, which mush everything into a long series of ones or zeros. With a quantum computer, each bit of data is a one and a zero, and everything in between, all at the same time. When scientists originally started working with quantum machines, there was a debate about whether they were even real. They do seem pretty farfetched, seemingly breaking the laws of physics to operate. And they must perform their calculations literally in the dark, in soundproof black boxes, in a vacuum, and as close to absolute zero as possible. They almost seem more like alchemy than hard science. But they do work, just not yet at larger scales. However, governments and private companies are all collaborating and competing to create the first true, large-scale quantum computer. And that brings us to the very real problem of data protection that even now is under threat. The government, through the National Institute of Standards and Technology, knows that one day soon quantum computers will be able to crack even the highest Advanced Encryption Standard 256-bit cipher used to protect our most sensitive documents. NIST is actively searching for a way to create a new type of encryption that a quantum computer couldn’t break. The idea is to transition all currently encrypted files to the new protection before a sufficiently powerful quantum machine can be completed. But if that is our strategy, we have already lost. Hackers, with many of them supported by nation-states, are actively skimming and stealing encrypted data right now, even though it would take them thousands of years to crack it with current technology. But they aren’t even trying to go that route. Instead, they’re storing data in anticipation that a quantum machine in the near future can crack it wide open, long before anyone can perfect quantum-resistant encryption. Their strategy is to steal data now, and then read it later. It’s a good plan for whichever nation or group becomes the leader in quantum computing. The other danger is that most of the quantum-resistant computing methods being developed are based on quantum computing itself, with the idea that it takes fire to fight fire, or a quantum machine to create a post-quantum cryptography solution. Given the level of funding for quantum computing within the United States compared with other countries, it’s a race that we will have trouble winning. Take China for example. While their government budget is a closely guarded secret, we do know that they constructed a research laboratory to specifically study and develop quantum computing at a cost of $10 billion. That compares to the $899 million that the Defense Department allocated for all computer science research, quantum and otherwise, in their most recent budget. And China is already seeing much success. They created the only quantum-protected landline connecting Beijing and Shanghai, which provides completely unbreakable encryption between those two cities. They also have a satellite called Micius which can use quantum computing to encrypt any communications routed through it, which was demonstrated using a quantum-protected Skype call. Other countries are also seeing quantum success. Russia has its own government-funded Quantum Computing Center, and recently announced a breakthrough with a quantum computer that is able to do basic calculations without a lot of special programming, meaning they may soon be able to use software designed for more traditional machines but run it at quantum speeds. Those are just a few examples, but they show areas where protections are being developed to thwart future quantum code-breaking efforts. America may not be very far behind, with companies like Microsoft, Intel, Google and IBM rapidly accelerating their quantum research. But quantum protection is needed today for government files. It’s the only way to protect them from the quantum computers of the future, whose agents may already be collecting the valuable data they will easily crack.

”WTH is going on here??”…20-Yr-Old COLLEGE STUDENT Is One of 48 Young People Who Have Gone Missing In Same State In Past 40 Days [VIDEO]

Jul 31, 2018 The case of the missing 20-year old college student, is in and of itself, horrifying, but alarm bells should be going off for every American, now that we know 48 young people have vanished in the same state this month. Parents in the state of Iowa should be paying attention and might want to consider keeping closer tabs on their kids for a while. The New York Post is reporting that the 20-year-old college student who is missing in Iowa is one of 48 young people who have vanished in the state this month, according to reports. The seemingly alarming number of missing persons cases has sparked widespread panic on social media and a flood of conspiracy theories as the search intensifies for Mollie Tibbetts, who was last seen July 19. “40 people have gone missing in Iowa in 10 days. 40. People. How is this possible ?!!!!!!!!!!!?!” posted one person on Facebook, adding: “keep tabs on your friends and family, be aware of everything and everyone around you.” Added Heather Loshaw in a local Facebook group: “WTH is going on here?? Be careful out there please.” Here’s a close up look at the list of missing people in Iowa posted by Heather Loshaw: “Don’t think it can’t happen to you,” warned Shannon Kelly on Twitter, in a post that was shared thousands of times. “It’s happening across rural and urban Iowa.” The Iowa Department of Public Safety has received many calls about the missing persons statistics since Tibbetts’ disappearance, the Argus Leader reported. But the department tried to quell the panic by clarifying that the number isn’t unusual — and that not all the cases are kidnappings or sex trafficking-related. Last year alone, 4,311 young people were reported missing to The Missing Person Information Clearinghouse — about 12 a day, according to WQAD. “The vast majority of which are found or returned home within 24 hours,” they said in a statement, adding that the majority of the people included in the data are runaways. Meanwhile, the missing University of Iowa student’s dad spoke out on Monday, imploring the community to help find her. “It doesn’t matter what we’re going through; we just need people to think — because somebody knows something and they don’t even know it’s important,” Rob Tibbetts told ABC’s “Good Morning America.” “We can get Mollie back; we just have to have somebody call.” Watch: Mollie Tibbetts went on an evening run two weeks ago and hasn’t been seen since. Dozens of volunteers have scoured rural Brooklyn, Iowa, searching for the psychology major — including a spontaneous, 400-person search formed the day after she disappeared. “What we need is for people to tell their friends and neighbors that if they saw anything that seemed even remotely out of the ordinary, to call the authorities, and they will run that down,” Tibbetts said. “The authorities have told us again and again and again that all the similar cases like this are always solved by some tip.” Last week, investigators said they were going through data from a Fitbit that Mollie Tibbetts was wearing when she vanished, as well as her cellphone and social media. Her last communication was a Snapchat photo she sent to her boyfriend the night she disappeared.

The 'Vaccine Vampires' Reviving Their 'Doomsday Virus' Warnings Means It's Well Past Time To Prepare To Fend For Ourselves

- Surviving The Next Pandemic: Whether Natural Or Created In A Basement Lab

By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die July 31, 2018

In the graph embedded above which is used in the 2nd video at the bottom of this story titled "Epidemics And The End Of Humankind", we see how the 1918 Spanish flu reached its peak in 4 different locations around the world at nearly the exact same period of time in the cities of New York, London, Paris and Berlin, jumping from what were relatively low mortality numbers to major peaks in deaths within a matter of two months between late September of 1918 to early November of 1918. While back in 1918, travel between different countries happened much less frequently than it does now with air travel between nations separated by oceans now as common as the common cold in 2018, many experts have warned that the chance of an 1918-style influenza pandemic breaking out in the world are growing with the world now much more closely interlinked than it was 100 years ago. As the Metro UK reports in this new story that both Steve Quayle and the Drudge Report linked to Monday morning, according to what is being called 'a chilling simulation' which was recently conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University, a new pathogen they're calling 'Clade X', from the Tree of Life as heard in the first video below, could potentially wipe out a huge chunk of the world's population, up to 900 million people they claim, 10% of the world's population, in a relatively short period of time. And the way they played out this simulation sounds just like a science fiction doomsday movie where a doomsday cult releases a genetically engineered virus, a possibility that grows ever more real and possible every day with the advent of CRISPR gene-editing technology as close by as an order placed on Amazon.com. Yet as Joe Jarvis over at the Daily Bell reported in this new story, this 'doomsday virus' that the news is reporting could kill off a huge portion of the world's population is basically 'fake news'. "Why Wait For It To Happen? The Media Now Makes Up Stories From The Future" Jarvis reports upon the 'Clade X' pathogen that doesn't exist nor does the fake terrorist organization exist that the Metro story reported upon. As videographer 'Richie From Boston' argues in the 1st video below, it's seemingly every year that a new scare warning goes out in the mainstream media about a hypothetical virus or pandemic that could wipe out large chunks of humanity and along with their pushing of 'killer colds' comes the warning "make sure to get your flu shots". Are all of these warnings of impending killer flu and pandemic just a ratcheting up of tensions designed to get the masses to run to their nearest doctors office or drug store to get the latest poisonous concoction of 'big pharma'? As we also see in the stunning graphic above, the average life expectancy of Americans dropped a staggering amount between 1918 and 1919, with the average life expectancy of all races and all genders dropping almost 15 years during that time period before recovering just prior to 1920 to pre-Spanish flu levels. And while 'Clade X' is just a creation of those studying how best to prepare for such a future pandemic, as the Organic Prepper reports today on this simulation which showed up to 900 million people possibly dead from such a scenario, 'Clade X' really COULD exist and it could become much worse than the simulation predicts. As we've previously reported on ANP, the growing reasons it 'could exist' are largely because of the growing ability of every-day, ordinary Americans (or basement terrorists) to get their hands upon the kinds of technologies that used to be only available to scientists and within chemistry labs such as CRISPR. From the Organic Prepper story: Over the course of the simulation, John Hopkins demonstrated the ease with which a new virus could kill 150 million people within a year. But the creator of the exercise told Business Insider in an interview that he believes that number is low and that the real tally could be closer to 900 million deaths. What is the Clade X virus? Luckily, Clade X doesn’t exist. But, according to experts, it “could.” In fact, it was specifically created by Dr. Eric Toner to be as realistic as possible. The imaginary virus is “moderately contagious and moderately lethal” and …”there are no effective medical countermeasures.” There is no vaccine for it because it was bioengineered and deliberately released by a cult. Although the virus in this simulation was manmade, Toner says that the response to this isn’t any necessarily different than what we’d be dealing with in the event of a pathogen that emerged naturally. And while this simulation and the news reports that have come out since surrounding it could very well be focused upon getting Americans to go get their flu shot injections as we approach flu season, as the Organic Prepper story also pointed out, the simulations also proved just how unprepared and totally vulnerable we are to a pandemic in 2018. And whether that pandemic begins as something completely new and natural or something cooked up in a basement lab by ISIS or the corrupt faction of the US deep state seeking to cull Americans, either way, we should be prepared to ride out such a storm upon our own terms. As we all know, when SHTF, we can't rely upon the government as they'll surely have their hands tied up in many locations doing many things. So we open up the comment section below to all of your ideas for naturally treating illnesses, whether that be the common cold or the kind of pandemic that the Johns Hopkins University study warns us about. Having long been HUGE fans of garlic as an all-natural antibiotic that has cured numerous tooth infections within this household and office, Natural News reported back in 2016 that a study conducted by researchers at Washington University found garlic "can be up to 100 times as effective at treating bacterial infections as most mainstream antibiotics". That's right, garlic is not only anti-viral but anti-bacterial as well. And while we're not doctors and cannot offer any medical advice, we are free Americans who know what has worked for us and what we'll go to every time should the common cold strike or we choose not to visit a doctors office to have an antibiotic script written out for us, with common antibiotics vastly over-prescribed anyways. As the graph at the top of this story showed of the 1918 Spanish flu, the very short-lived peak in deaths from that particular outbreak show that we may also need to be prepared to isolate ourselves from the rest of the world for a short period of time or several months should a pandemic break out. Lessons learned from the deaths of tens of millions 100 years ago could keep us alive today. Thank you so much ahead of time for any tips that you might have to share - they, too, could save somebody's life. The final video below shows actual excerpts from the recent 'Clade X' conference along with a summary from videographer JW TV who tells us since they're getting prepared, we probably should as well while we still can

The 9 most SHOCKING vaccine ingredients of 2018

Tuesday, July 31, 2018 by: S.D. Wells

(Natural News) The year is 2018, and it would be nice to brag about science and medicine having come “so far,” but that’s impossible in regards to vaccines when they’re used to make humans sick and dysfunctional, especially newborn babies, infants and children. The theory of vaccines is legitimate, and the idea that doctors who attend eight years of medical school recommend all of them sounds convincing, but today’s nerve-and-immune-system-crippling ingredients should sound off all of your common sense alarms like ambulance sirens heading to the scene of a life or death emergency. The problem with questioning anything at all about vaccines is that you’re immediately labeled “anti-science” and “anti-vax” by the pro-vaccine cult – the same goons and trolls who want to have you burned at the stake if you get cancer and refuse chemotherapy. Another huge problem with questioning anything about vaccines is that, if you do, you’re immediately labeled a conspiracy theorist, but then again, most of the “conspiracy theories” of the past decade or two have been proven true, like the U.S. government spying via Prism on all of its own citizens, and the CDC covering up health detriment caused to babies by the toxic MMR vaccine, or the Obama Administration running a shadow government the past two years, and we could just go on and on. So, the next time you even consider a flu shot, or have a baby, or hear about a friend or relative catching the measles, take a look at this article again, and remember what you learned about the insane, useless, experimental contents found in what is still termed “modern medicine,” even though the vaccine industry has already shelled out over $3 billion in damages to families whose kids were maimed or killed by the farce of “safe and efficient” immunization. Top 9 vaccine ingredients you would never eat if found in food, so why allow them to be injected into muscle tissue? 

#1. Infected African Green Monkey Kidney Vero Cells

#2. Deadly Porcine (Pig) Virus called Circovirus (in highly experimental Rotavirus jab)

#3. Fetal Cells from Human Abortions

#4. Peanut Oil (the main cause of childhood severe peanut allergies)

#5. Latex (some syringes are poked through latex vial stoppers, hence severe childhood latex allergies)

#6. FD&C Yellow #6 aluminum lake dye (why do we need vaccines to be colorful?)

#7. Squalene (main cause of auto-immune disorder)

#8. Over 50 Parts Per Million of Mercury (still found in certain flu shots)

#9. Genetically Modified DNA from other Humans (foreign proteins cause unnatural immune reactions)

Sounds like some crazy witch’s brew for turning people into mice, doesn’t it? The theory of working vaccines is that you give a human a tiny weakened strain of an infectious disease, their body builds antibodies to fight it, and the next time the same disease is encountered “in the wild,” that human’s immune system is ready to fight, and better prepared. Sounds great. So why then does “modern science” infuse known neurotoxins into vaccines that cause severe allergic reactions, anaphylactic shock, autism, comas and even death? Shocking Truth: Modern vaccines are not meant to prevent disease, but to cause long-term disorders that earn Big Pharma a fortune Yes, we know, you want to believe American medicine isn’t so corrupt, but it is. In the 1960s, vaccine manufacturers had no idea what the heck they were doing at all. Merck scientist Dr. Maurice Hilleman admitted on tape that vaccines were spreading disease instead of preventing it. The polio vaccine contained SV40 cancer virus. Other vaccines were being produced using brain tissue from human abortions. Cell cultures from aborted fetuses are STILL used in today’s vaccines, including WI-38 and MRC-5. If you don’t believe it, check the CDC’s own vaccine ingredient web pages right here. The polio vaccine is a complete hoax and is based on a complete misrepresentation of historical data, that duped over a hundred million Americans. How? The infamous Dr. Jonas Salk (fake hero), removed the kidneys of rhesus monkeys, cut them into tiny pieces, placed them in vials with a nutrient solution and three strains of polio, and then literally rocked the bottles (like a newborn baby) using a mechanical machine. This “incubator” stimulated growth of the virus. The formula was then diluted and weakened with formaldehyde (they call it attenuated today), chilled, and shipped to laboratories around the world. Voila! The amazing useless polio vaccine was invented and the hoax was sold to the world by the CDC. Guess what? Today, the crooks and freaks at the CDC and Merck use infected African Green monkey kidney cells in the smallpox vaccine. Are you still in denial? Check this FDA page of “vaccines, blood, and biologics” and you’ll find the truth about African Green monkey kidney cells being injected into humans for the sake of “immunity.” Now check out this video, censored by Facebook, that’s now available at this REAL.video link, featuring Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. of the World Mercury Project, warning America about the epidemic of vaccine-induced degenerative disease. If the science of vaccines was legitimate, then the mass media would let the science speak for itself. Learn the risks for yourself. The pro-vaccine cult is “anti-science” themselves, knowing the truth about the toxins in vaccines would change millions of minds about what they call “modern medicine.” There are immunization alternatives.

Evidence Is Mounting that Fukushima Is a Progressive Extinction Level Event

By Dave Hodges

Ever since a huge 2011 earthquake off the coast of Japan resulting in a massive tsunami crashing into a nuclear plant in Fukushima, the world has been fed a consistent dose of extreme under-exaggeration with regard to the resulting consequences. In actuality, the world does not need a nuclear war in order to experience the consequences, we have Fukushima. Unfortunately, after the catastrophe occurred at Fukushima, the Obama administration was busy trying to conceal the gravity of the situation along with the fallout from this event, both figuratively and literally. For example, the Federal government immediately raised the level of “toxic” radiation exposure by a factor of 1,000. Then the Obama administration minions stopped measuring radiation levels on the West coast. Thus, commenced one of biggest cover-ups of all time. Personal Adjustments Despite the complicity of a world-wide cover-up by the planet’s nations, some people have made personal adjustments in the face of this under-reported crisis. For example, I rarely eat fish any longer. If I was a wine drinker, which I’m not, I would immediately stop drinking. Why? Because these consumables are the first line defense with regard to the planet’s food supply and Fukushima is the single biggest, long-term threat to our existence, barring a nuclear war or a large asteroid strike. If Fukushima is such a threat then the readers must be wondering why this issue is not being discussed, prominently, in the media. Actually, there is a smattering of coverage of the dangers of the aftermath of the Fukushima disaster. In general, however, we have witnessed one of the biggest cover-ups in journalistic history. The real facts connected to this event constitute a clear and present danger. Threat to the World’s Food Supply According to the World Health Organization, the aftermath of the Fukushima event shows absolutely no impact on the world’s food supply. The mainstream media (MSM) is in concert with this position. The one question that nobody can seem to answer is why did the Obama administration stop checking radiation levels on the west coast? Was this President who doubled the national debt in just 8 years merely conserving the government’s resources? It took decades for the scientific community and the MSM to pay attention to the cancer-causing Roundup from Monsant0. For years, many in the Independent Media (IM) were identifying the the numerous dangers of Monsanto’s genetically modified seeds —from unstoppable genetic contamination to the newly-admitted link between the company’s top selling herbicide and cancer. All in all, the list goes on and on. But GMOs aside, what may be an even greater threat to not only our individual futures, but the future of humanity itself, comes from the aftermath of the Fukushima event. The world is waking up to danger of GMO’s and Monsanto’s dangerous products as evidenced by the fact that activity that Vermont passed a mandatory GMO labeling law. Unlike GMO’s it is difficult for the public to wrap their minds around the issue that Fukushima poses because it takes some level of intellectual persistence to understand the ongoing and increasing level of the threat. The threat posed by GMO’s is direct and easily understood. However, when the public is asked to understand the nature of Cesium 134 and 137, the issue is clouded and the public can continue to be deceived by entities that do not want the contamination of their products exposed. However, there have been warnings to the severe danger posed by Fukushima. There are, however, voices, quieter voices from science that don’t engage in the cover-up at Fukushima. Marco Kaltofen of the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, MA., presented research findings at a scientific conference on the immediate fallout of the Fukushima disaster. The following findings were published 6 months after the event. The Fukushima nuclear accident dispersed airborne dusts that are contaminated with radioactive particles. When inhaled or ingested, these particles can have negative effects on human health that are different from those caused by exposure to external or uniform radiation fields. A field sampling effort was undertaken to characterize the form and concentration of radionuclides in the air and in environmental media which can accumulate fallout. Samples included settled dusts, surface wipes, used filter masks, used air filters, dusty footwear, and surface soils. Particles were collected from used motor vehicle air filters and standard 0.45 micron membrane air filters. Soils and settled dusts were collected from outdoor surfaces, interior surfaces, and from used children’s shoes. The Japanese filters contained cesium 134 and 137, as well as cobalt 60 at levels as high as 3 nCi total activity per sample. Materials collected during April 2011 from Japan also contained Iodine 131. This short-lived nuclide was not observed in later samples. US air filter and dusts samples did not contain hot particles, except for air samples collected from Seattle, WA during the month of April 2011. The samples of Japanese children’s shoes were found to have relatively high radiocesium contamination levels. Isolated US soil samples contained up to 8 nanoCuries per Kg of radiocesium, while control samples showed no detectable radiocesium. Dusts containing radioactive cesium were found at levels orders of magnitude above background more than 100 miles from the accident site, and were detectable on the US west coast. Quiet Revelations French nuclear physicists say they have stumbled on Fukushima’s signature in Northern California wine. It has long been established that wines made around major nuclear events, including American and Soviet nuclear tests during the Cold War and the Russian Chernobyl accident showed higher levels of radioactive isotopes, namely Cesium 134 and 137. Recently, America wine has shown a Fukushima signature on it as well. In a new French study, the researchers report testing 18 bottles of California rosé and cabernet sauvignon from 2009 onward and finding increased levels of radioactive particles in the wine produced after the Fukushima disaster. In a dramatic discovery, in the cabernet wines, the levels of the radioactive materials doubled. In an interesting offshoot of this issue, it is found that Cesium 137 and 134 embeds itself in the soil. This makes is hard to detect. This means that the radiation accumulates and grows over time. Here is the 64 million dollar question. However, much danger is a our food supply in? A partial answer to the question was found in the following published paper: Pacific Bluefin tuna caught off the coast of California have been found to have radioactive contamination from last year’s Fukushima nuclear accident. The fish would have picked up the pollution while swimming in Japanese waters, before then moving to the far side of the ocean. This means that in addition to the fish food supply being endangered, so will crops because radioactive fallout in the rain will fall on the crops. More evidence comes from the Okanagan Nation Alliance tested sockeye salmon in B.C. and discovered that Fukushima-signature fallout, Cesium 134 was found in the local fish. Of course, this should have concerned the Canadian and U.S. governments, but nut nobody is taking responsibility. After 2012, someone flipped the switch and the media stopped covering this event in it entirety The biggest threat comes from TEPCO, proven liars about the Fukushima event. But even these liars have been forced to admitted that at least 400 tons of radioactively-contaminated water are flowing into the Pacific Ocean every day. Additionally, the atmosphere and jet stream are polluted from the explosions at the nuclear plant. New fission materials were discovered but not reported in the MSM. Should we be concerned?

22 volcanoes actively erupting, 43 volcanoes with ongoing eruptions: We are in a period of high volcanic activity

By Strange Sounds - Aug 1, 2018

Although detailed statistics are not kept on daily activity, generally there are around 20 volcanoes actively erupting at any particular time. Last week, the Smithsonian / USGS Weekly Volcanic Activity Report (WVAR) reported 22 actively erupting volcanoes and 43 continuous erupting volcanoes. We are in a phase of increased volcanic activity. Overall there are 43 volcanoes with ongoing eruptions as of the Stop Dates indicated (July 24, 2018), sorted with the most recently started eruption at the top. An eruption marked as “continuing” does not always mean that the activity is continuous or happening today, but that there have been at least some intermittent eruptive events at that volcano without a break of at least 3 months since it started. An eruption listed here also might have ended since the last public data update, or at the update time a firm end date had not yet been determined due to potential renewed activity. Our Earth is releasing fire around the world. It could happen right next to you. Be prepared and get ready!

Trump: Sessions should stop this rigged witch hunt

"Russian Collusion with the Trump Campaign, one of the most successful in history, is a TOTAL HOAX"

By Intellihub.com - August 1, 2018

President Donald Trump on Wednesday fired out a barrage of tweets in which he called upon Attorney General Jeff Sessions to stop Robert Mueller’s flawed Russian investigation altogether and said that FBI Agent Peter Strzok should have recused himself from day one. The president wrote in a series of tweets: “FBI Agent Peter Strzok (on the Mueller team) should have recused himself on day one. He was out to STOP THE ELECTION OF DONALD TRUMP. He needed an insurance policy. Those are illegal, improper goals, trying to influence the Election. He should never, ever been allowed to……..”

Russian Collusion with the Trump Campaign, one of the most successful in history, is a TOTAL HOAX. The Democrats paid for the phony and discredited Dossier which was, along with Comey, McCabe, Strzok and his lover, the lovely Lisa Page, used to begin the Witch Hunt. Disgraceful!

Laser Weapons Suspected as Cause of Explosive Wildfires

9/28/2017 Laser Weapons No Longer Science Fiction (FOX NEWS)

Video übernommen von: (Futureman19 Am 22.10.2017 veröffentlicht )

FOX News announces military has powerful laser weapons capability just days before suspicious California fires in September, 2017 No Longer a Conspiracy Theory but Conspiracy FACT: On September 28, 2017, about 10 days before the Northern California Fires in Wine Country began, Fox News ADMITS to the government having Laser Technology or Directed Energy Weapons (DEW). ATHENA, (Advanced Test High Energy Asset), is one of the most exciting of these new American laser weapons. During recent testing with the U.S. Army’s Space and Missile Defense Command at the Army’s White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, the 30-kilowatt weapon slayed five Outlaw drones. Not toy hobby sized drones, but drones with nearly 11 foot wingspans. Silent, invisible, deadly. The powerful ATHENA laser weapon can destroy enemy threats within seconds. For the United States, thanks to pioneering efforts of American companies like Lockheed Martin and the military, laser weapons are no longer the stuff of Star Wars and Star Trek. In near-term future battles, the U.S. military can choose to bring laser weapons mounted on vehicles, vessels, and more, to war. By comparison, the weapons of any enemy will look like bows and arrows. How does it work? On the most basic level, ATHENA destroys threats with heat. It is similar to when folks use a magnifying glass to start a fire while camping – but on an incredibly powerful level. ATHENA is what is called a fiber laser. Fiber lasers combine individual lasers to generate a single, intense laser beam. Each laser is generated by the weapon’s fiber optics. This approach means that the power can be easily adjusted by adding more individual lasers to the combined beam or reducing the number. Lockheed Martin’s beam control tech uses lenses, mirrors, windows and software algorithms to shape the energy into a focused beam. As the light travels through the mirrors, lenses and windows, the ATHENA system concentrates and modifies the laser’s energy. Threats can come from any direction. ATHENA’s beam director and turret are designed to match this so the weapons can fire 360 degrees. Battles will never be the same Lockheed Martin has been pioneering in laser weapon systems for more than four decades. ATHENA’s upgrades and remarkable recent performance of defeating 100 percent of the drones is the latest exciting news in their laser family. ATHENA’s sibling, ADAM, is another laser. During testing a few years ago, ADAM proved it could destroy fast attack military grade boats by burning through their hulls in less than 30 seconds – again from about a mile away. The company is further miniaturizing laser weapons for tactical U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps vehicles. For Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the Air Force Research Laboratory, Lockheed Martin has worked on a prototype turret to mount laser weapons on aircraft. What’s next? In near term battles, the US military will have the option to unleash laser weapons on vehicles, vessels and possibly even aircraft. The precision of lasers like ATHENA is already remarkable. As the technology continues to advance at a rapid pace in the U.S., lasers like ATHENA will be able to strike farther and farther away. And destroy bigger and bigger targets.

Wildfires rage across Europe as countries battle intense heat wave

By Strange Sounds - Jul 31, 2018

As a scorching heat wave engulfs large parts of Europe this summer, fires have torn through dozens of countries across the European Union. From Germany to France to Sweden, countries in Western Europe are set for another intense heat wave this week with temperatures soaring above 90 degrees. As firefighters continue to battle treacherous blazes that have killed scores of people, here’s a look at what some European countries face as wildfires continue to scorch large swaths of land. Greece More than 80 people died in a wildfire that swept through the seaside coastal town of Mati. Authorities suspect the cause of the fire was arson. “The country is going through an unspeakable tragedy,” Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said on July 24. The fire was the deadliest in a decade. About 200 firefighters were battling the blaze in Mati. Confused tourists and residents were forced to flee to the sea to escape the fast-moving blaze. Amid the chaos, some people got trapped on dead-end roads or cliffs and weren’t able to get away. Tsipras declared three days of national mourning to honor those who died. Sweden As an unusual heat wave continues to engulf Sweden, with temperatures reaching above 90 degrees just north of the Arctic Circle, at least 40 wildfires are burning across the country — home to more than 9 million people and an amazing array of wildlife. Some fires were sparked by thunderstorms, with an estimated 62,000 acres burned so far. Italian planes and Norwegian helicopters have been fighting the fast-moving flames, and more help from other European countries, including France and Germany, is on the way. However, strong winds will continue to push the fire. No deaths or injuries have been reported, but officials warned thousands of people to be vigilant and stay indoors because of poor air quality caused by smoke and ash. Finland Firefighters are still battling several wildfires in Finland as meteorologists with the Finnish Meteorological Institute warn that there’s a high risk more blazes could ignite in the southern and central regions, where there was a brief reprieve because of rain and subsiding winds. Over the next five days, dry, warm weather — with the chance of winds — is forecast. Fires have scorched forested areas in Lapland, a northern province near the border with Russia. Dozens of people were evacuated from summer cottages in the south. Norway Dry terrain in the Scandinavian country created ample fuel for the fires. Firefighters have been battling wildfires in various parts of Norway since May. The fires, now mostly under control, became deadly when in late July, a firefighter died battling a blaze in southern Norway. Earlier this year, the country experienced record heat. “It is extremely dry in the countryside and the forest fire index is sky-high,” Mathias Drange, the head of the firefighting response unit, told local media in May. “In this case the alarm was fortunately raised in good time so we have a good chance of controlling the fire.” Although fires have been contained, the Norwegian Meteorological Institute’s website said there was “very high” risk of forest fire in various parts of the country. Latvia Wildfires have scorched more than 1,600 acres since July 17. Officials requested foreign assistance about a week later to fight the large forest fires. The extreme heat has made it difficult for firefighters to put out the fires and the weather outlook looks grim. Warm weather is expected to continue and resources to battle the flames are stretched thin. “Most of the affected areas are not accessible by ground capabilities and aerial firefighting is the only option.” These wildfires are going to grow larger this week and new ones are going to start and spread as Europe is being engulfed by an unprecedented heat wave this week again.

Dramatic satellite photo shows the destructive reach of the wildfires raging across California into Nevada as Yosemite closes for at least six days due to smoke and families are evacuated

NASA's satellite, Aqua, took a photo on Sunday showing smoke from California's wildfires stretching as far north as Oregon and as far east as Utah

Much of that smoke is coming from the Carr Fire, a dangerous and fast-moving blaze centered near the Northern California city of Redding

National Park officials said Tuesday the scenic Yosemite Valley and other areas will be closed 'at least through Sunday' due to heavy smoke from the so-called Ferguson Fire

By Associated Press and Ariel Zilber For Dailymail.com Published: 02:02 EDT, 31 July 2018 | Updated: 09:34 EDT, 1 August 2018

Stunning satellite photos show the smoke from California’s wildfires stretching as far east as Utah - an indication of just how devastating the blazes have been. NASA’s Aqua satellite, which is used to collect information about the Earth, shows smoke covering most of California. The smoke is seen spreading as far north as Oregon and as far east as Salt Lake City. The image was captured by Aqua on Sunday, according to Space.com. Firefighters struggling to contain destructive Northern California wildfires found themselves facing a new blaze that erupted Tuesday and drove through a rural area near a national forest. About 60 homes in an old ranching and farming area near Covelo, which is about 180 miles north of San Francisco, were ordered evacuated as the blaze erupted late in the afternoon. Gusty winds quickly drove it through about a square mile of brush and grasslands, oak, pine and timber near Mendocino National Forest, Mendocino County Undersheriff Matthew Kendall said. 'We're advised that the fire was threatening structures,' he said. However, there were no immediate reports of homes being burned. Firefighting aircraft were called in but it was unclear when they might arrive because many already were engaged in other fires, Kendall said. Some 40 miles to the south, twin fires straddling Mendocino and Lake counties have destroyed at least seven homes and threatened an estimated 12,000 more, fire officials said. Jessyca Lytle fled a fast-moving Northern California wildfire in 2015 that spared her property but destroyed her mother's memorabilia-filled home in rural and rugged Lake County. Less than three years later, Lytle found herself listening to scanner traffic Tuesday and fire-proofing her mother's new home as another wildfire advanced. 'Honestly, what I'm thinking right now is I just want this to end,' Lytle said, adding that she was 'exhausted in every way possible - physically, emotionally, all of that.' Derek Hawthorne, a firefighter and spokesman for the fire crews, said the hot weather was not ideal but the wind was on their side where he was in the city of Upper Lake. 'It's blowing into the fire, and it's kind of blowing it back on itself,' he said. To the east in Sutter County, a fire that erupted Tuesday night had torched about 1.5 square miles of grassland but no homes were evacuated, state fire spokesman Scott McLean said. Elsewhere, the Carr Fire had burned more than 880 homes and killed six people in and around Redding. Another 348 outbuildings were also destroyed, and the blaze is now the seventh most destructive wildfire in California history, fire officials said. National Park officials said Tuesday the scenic Yosemite Valley and other areas will be closed 'at least through Sunday' due to heavy smoke from the so-called Ferguson Fire. The closure began July 25 and had been tentatively scheduled to end Friday. Park spokesman Scott Gediman said 'continuing poor air quality' and ongoing firefighting operations warranted the extension. It was the longest closure at Yosemite since 1997 when floods closed the park for over two months. In Riverside County, east of Los Angeles, an arson fire that destroyed seven homes last week was 82 percent contained Monday. People in Lake County, an impoverished community of 65,000, are familiar with evacuations. The 2015 Valley Fire, which came on the heels of two other fires, killed four and destroyed 1,300 homes when it blew up unexpectedly during a September heat wave. It wiped out entire neighborhoods prized for their privacy and sense of community and turned scenic areas into charred forest. Since then, parts of the county have been evacuated regularly due to fire, most recently in June. Evacuation orders remained in effect Tuesday for the town of Lakeport, the county seat, although orders for some smaller communities were lifted. Lakeport is a popular destination for bass anglers and boaters on the shores of Clear Lake. By Monday night, it was a ghost town. Paul Lew and his two boys, ages 13 and 16, evacuated Saturday from their Lakeport home. 'I told them to throw everything they care about in the back of the car,' said Lew, 45. 'I grabbed computers, cellphones, papers. I just started bagging all my paperwork up, clothes, my guitars.' Lew, who is divorced from Lytle, is camped out at the house in the nearby community of Cobb that she fled in 2015. He is watching over her chickens, sheep and other animals. He laughs that repeated fire alerts have made him an emergency preparation expert. 'It's like three a year,' he said. 'It's kind of crazy.'

Justice Department Launches Task Force to Advance, Defend Religious Liberty

Michael Foust | ChristianHeadlines.com Contributor | Monday, July 30, 2018

U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Monday, criticized recent attacks on religious freedom and announced the creation of a Religious Liberty Task Force that will work to “fully implement” the department’s religious liberty guidance. The task force will be chaired by the associate attorney general and the assistant attorney general for the office of legal policy. The department issued religious liberty guidelines in October. In remarks applauded by Christian leaders and religious liberty groups, Sessions bemoaned the hostility toward religious liberty. “We have gotten to the point where courts have held that morality cannot be a basis for law, where ministers are fearful to affirm, as they understand it, holy writ from the pulpit, and where one group can actively target religious groups by labeling them a hate group on the basis of their sincerely held religious beliefs,” Sessions said. “This president and this Department of Justice are determined to protect and even advance this magnificent heritage.” The Founders, he said, realized that “an individual’s relationship to God is a natural right and precedes the existence of the state, and is not subject to state control.” “There can be no doubt that we are stronger as a nation because of the contribution of religious Americans,” Sessions said. Referencing specific instances of attacks on religious liberty, Sessions said “we’ve seen nuns ordered to buy contraceptives” and “we’ve seen U.S. Senators ask judicial and executive branch nominees about dogma -- even though the Constitution explicitly forbids a religious test for public office.” The latter was, in part, referencing questions to Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Amy Barrett when she appeared before the Senate. “We’ve all seen the ordeal faced so bravely by Jack Phillips,” Sessions said, alluding to the Colorado Christian cake designer who refused to design a cake for a same-sex wedding. He won at the Supreme Court. “The Task Force,” Sessions said, “will help the Department fully implement our religious liberty guidance by ensuring that all Justice Department components are upholding that guidance in the cases they bring and defend, the arguments they make in court, the policies and regulations they adopt, and how we conduct our operations. That includes making sure that our employees know their duties to accommodate people of faith.” Alliance Defending Freedom, a religious liberty legal group, applauded Sessions’ comments. “We highly commend President Trump and Attorney General Sessions for following through on the most vital promises of their public service: the preservation and protection of religious liberty,” said Alliance Defending Freedom’s Kristen Waggoner. “Too many of the clients ADF represents are risking their businesses, their life savings, and their safety to follow their conscience.”Mat Staver, founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel – another religious liberty legal group – said the “establishment of a Religious Liberty Task Force is an historic and positive step by the Trump administration to protect religious freedom and the rights of conscience.” Michael Foust is a freelance writer.

We can't force Iran out of Syria, Russia tells Israelis

"We cannot dictate to Israel how to proceed."

By REUTERS July 30, 2018 22:14

JERUSALEM - Russia cannot compel Iranian forces to quit Syria, Moscow's ambassador to Tel Aviv said on Monday, rebuffing Israel's long-standing demand that it should work to ensure their total withdrawal from the country. Ambassador Anatoly Viktorov said Moscow could equally do nothing to prevent Israeli military strikes against Iranian forces in Syria, which along with Russia and Tehran-backed Lebanese militias are supporting President Bashar Assad in combating rebel fighters. With Assad now in almost complete control of southwestern areas abutting the Israeli-occupied sector of the Golan Heights, Viktorov told Israel's Channel 10 television in an interview that only Syrian army troops should be deployed there. Last week an Israeli official said Russia had offered to keep Iranian forces at least 100 km (60 miles) from the Golan Heights ceasefire line. The offer came up during a meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and visiting Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, but Israel rejected it as insufficient, the official said. Viktorov defended the Iranians' presence in Syria. "They are playing a very, very important role in our common and joint effort to eliminate terrorists in Syria. That is why, for this period of time, we see as non-realistic any demands to expel any foreign troops from the entirety of the Syrian Arab Republic," he said. "We can talk with our Iranian partners very frankly and openly, trying to persuade them to do or not to do something," he said. But asked whether Russia can force Iran out, he answered: "We cannot." While formally neutral in the seven-year-old civil war next door, Israel has carried out scores of air strikes against suspected emplacements or arms transfers by Iranian or Lebanese Hezbollah guerrillas in Syria, apparently unimpeded by the Russian defense systems deployed there. A military hotline Israel and Russia set up in 2015 has also helped to the countries avoid inadvertently clashing over Syria. Viktorov expressed disapproval of the attacks on Syria, but added: "We cannot dictate to Israel how to proceed ... It is not up to Russia to give Israel freedom to do anything, or to prohibit Israel to do anything."

Turkey: Trump's threats are unacceptable

Turkey’s National Security Council criticizes Trump's threat to impose sanctions on the country.

Ben Ariel, 31/07/18 03:35 Reuters

Turkey’s National Security Council on Monday criticized recent threats by U.S. President Donald Trump to impose sanctions on the country. In a statement quoted by Reuters, the Council said the United States’ use of threatening language against Turkey “is unacceptable and disrespectful” given the ties between the two allies. Relations between Turkey and the United States have spiraled into a full-blown crisis over the trial of American pastor Andrew Brunson, who was in custody for 21 months in a Turkish prison until he was transferred to house arrest last week. In a tweet on Thursday, Trump threatened to impose economic sanctions on Turkey over its refusal to release American pastor Andrew Brunson who has been detained in the country for more than year. “The United States will impose large sanctions on Turkey for their long time detainment of Pastor Andrew Brunson, a great Christian, family man and wonderful human being. He is suffering greatly. This innocent man of faith should be released immediately!” he tweeted. Hours after Trump’s tweet, Turkey's foreign minister Mevlut Cavusoglu fired back at Trump in a tweet of his own. “No one dictates [to] Turkey. We will never tolerate threats from anybody. Rule of law is for everyone; no exception,” he stated. On Saturday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan responded to Trump and clarified that Turkey will stand its ground. The United States would be losing a strong and sincere partner if it does not change this attitude, Erdogan added. Brunson was accused of working with Fethullah Gulen, an Islamic cleric who Erdogan claims orchestrated a failed coup in 2016. Last December, the U.S. and Turkey resumed full visa services for the other country after a months-long dispute. The dispute began in October, when the U.S. mission in Turkey reduced visa services in response to a U.S. mission employee being detained in Turkey. The Turkish mission in Washington subsequently announced a similar move, with both sides saying they needed to reassess each other's commitment to the security of their personnel.

At least ten DEAD after a 'CAR BOMB' explosion in Basilan, Philippines

AT LEAST 10 people have died after a car bomb exploded in the city of Lamitan in Basilan, an island province in the southern Philippines, local Governor Jim Saliman has confirmed.

By Martina Bet PUBLISHED: 04:01, Tue, Jul 31, 2018 | UPDATED: 04:26, Tue, Jul 31, 2018

According to the first report released by the police, ten were killed in the blast in Sitio Maganda. Among those killed there were a woman and a ten-year-old child, four members of the Citizen Armed Force Geographical Unit (Cafgu) and the driver of the vehicle where the bomb was placed. Mr Saliman claimed the explosion occurred at 5.50am local time (10.50pm BST) in a Citizen Armed Force Geographical Unit (CAFGU) detachment, which is run by members of military and civilians. It obliterated the vehicle and left a huge crater and fatalities were torn to pieces, as were farm animals nearby. Among the severely injured, there are five scout rangers, including a young lieutenant. They have all been moved to a military hospital, Camp Navarro, in Zamboanga City. The Basilan Governor claimed he has received reports Abu Sayyaf, a jihadist militant and pirate group, was behind the incident. In an interview with CNN, Mr Saliman said that if confirmed, this would be the biggest harm done to Basilan by the terror organization. When asked if anything similar happened in the province, the Governor said: "There were before, but for more than a year the situation in Basilan was going so well." The Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) Governor Mujiv Hataman claimed the suspect "detonated the bomb sensing danger he will be captured”. The police and the Armed Forces are conducting an investigation. However, local media reported the incident as the first case of suicide bombers in Lamitan. The province is a known stronghold of the group Abu Sayyaf, whose leaders have pledged allegiance to the Islamic State. Lieutenant General Arnel dela Vega, WestMinCom commander, declared he is committed to "exhaust every available resource under his disposal" to identify the people behind the attack at "the soonest possible time”. The attack comes less than a week after the Philippines President, Rodrigo Duterte, signed a law to give greater self-rule to Muslims living in the country’s south. The law aspires to establish peace in that area where several rebel groups operate.

Bite from exotic snake sparks multistate scramble for antivenom

USA Today NetworkAnn Zaniewski, Detroit Free Press Published 10:30 a.m. ET July 31, 2018 | Updated 2:56 p.m. ET July 31, 2018

DETROIT – A Michigan man continues to recover from a cobra bite that sent doctors scrambling to hunt down antivenom. The man, 26, from Pinconning Township, Michigan, became nauseous and started vomiting about 20 minutes after his pet albino monocled cobra bit him the night of July 14. He initially was treated at a Bay City, Michigan-area hospital but then was airlifted to Detroit after he stopped breathing because his respiratory muscles became paralyzed, according to Detroit Medical Center officials. Pinconning Township is about 117 miles north of Detroit. Toxicology experts at the hospital reached out to the Toledo Zoo in Toledo, Ohio. Eight vials of antivenom were sent to Detroit Medical Center Harper Hospital and administered to the man shortly after his arrival. June 6: Man bitten by severed rattlesnake head nearly died in Texas September 2017: Man tries to eat rattlesnake; snake bites back "However, the generic antivenom, which covers many, but not all species of poisonous snakes, had little effect and the patient’s condition continued to worsen," Jason Barczy, the medical center's communications manager, said in an email. Barczy said the man's family helped doctors identify the species of snake and in turn pinpoint the type of antivenom that was needed. Monocled cobras are native to South and Southeast Asia, according to reptilesmagazine.com. Their deadly venom is one of the fastest-acting snake venoms in the world, the magazine said. With the man's prognosis looking grim, medical center officials contacted the Miami-Dade County Venom Response Program in Florida the morning of July 15. Twenty vials of the appropriate antivenom were put on a commercial flight to Detroit and administered to the man via IV that afternoon. August 2017: Rattlesnakes hiding in the heat can be danger to people May 2017: Rattlesnake bites Florida man who tries to kiss it The man remains hospitalized but is on the road to recovery, Barczy said, thanks to the efforts of medical professionals who may experience such an event only once in their careers. "I talked to one of the directors of pharmacy who has been here 10 or 11 years, and she said it’s never really happened for her," he said. "Five cases like this might happen through the entire country in a given year." Follow Ann Zaniewski on Twitter: @AnnZaniewski

Ten tourists drowned when a boat capsized trying to rescue them from gale-driven forest fires which have killed at least 74 in Greece and which may have been started deliberately. A mother and son from Poland were among the dead when the vessel flipped in the water amid rough seas after picking up guests from a hotel in Mati as forest fires tore through the resort, 25 miles from Athens. In the same village, a number of holidaymakers and locals were burned alive, some of them trapped in their cars in traffic jams, as hundreds tried to flee the raging inferno, which also devoured more than a thousand homes. Dashing to the water was the only way to escape for most villagers, but some - including families with children found clasped in a last embrace - perished behind a wall of flames and toxic smoke as the 'lightning quick fire' swept from the hillsides to the sea in less than ten minutes. Charred bodies were found on a narrow road clogged with traffic in the village, which a local mayor said now 'no longer exists'. Some survivors spent fraught hours choking on clouds of ash at the edge of the water as they waited for help and watched their town burn. In the same resort, horrified officials found 26 bodies, apparently families, huddled tightly together in 'a final attempt to protect themselves'. They were less than 100ft from the sea having apparently made a desperate attempt to escape from their villas - but ended up trapped between fire and cliffs. One girl died as she tried to jump into the water. Officials have asked for US drones 'to observe and detect any suspicious activity' as it emerged 15 fires had started at the same time in three different areas near Athens - possibly by criminals intending to ransack homes once they were abandoned by fleeing residents. Driven by winds of up to 65mph and 104F (40C) temperatures, the worst Greek forest fires in a decade have been described as a 'national tragedy' and a 'biblical disaster with human losses'. One of the youngest victim was a six-month-old baby who died of smoke inhalation. The two largest wildfires - one 20 miles north-east of Athens near Rafina, the other 30 miles west of the capital in Kineta - broke out on Monday during hot, dry summer conditions. But by the evening it had escalated to a disaster with infernos breaking out either side of Athens. Hundreds of tourists have been evacuated from beaches in on-going operations today. A mass evacuation was launched with military vessels, a flotilla of private boats and army helicopters mobilised to rescue those who fled to the harbour in Rafina, while many waited in the sea to be rescued. 'Greece is going through an unspeakable tragedy,' Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, looking pale, said after cutting short a visit to Bosnia. This morning, he declared a three-day national mourning period. A state of emergency has been declared in western and eastern parts of Attica, the greater Athens area and the Greek government has called on the EU for assistance to battle the devastating wildfires which have left 170 injured. A hillside of homes was gutted by flames east of Athens. A mayor said he saw at least 100 homes and 200 vehicles burning amid fears the death toll from the disaster will climb today. This morning, the country's fire brigade said the intensity and spread of the wildfire at Mati had slowed on Tuesday as winds died down, but it was still not fully under control. The service urged residents to report missing relatives and friends. Two major fires had broken out at about lunchtime yesterday ripping through childrens' camps and homes either side of the Greek capital. By 9pm last night, gale-force winds had fanned the flames which ripped through seaside towns sparking a mass evacuation and creating such thick smoke that motorways had to be shut. Just after midnight, the first deaths were confirmed - only for the toll to escalate rapidly to at least 20 by 3am. By dawn on Tuesday, the fires were still burning around the capital, while others broke out elsewhere during the night. People scrambled to the sea as the blaze closed in close to the shore - hundreds were rescued by passing boats but others, tragically, found their way blocked by smoke and flames. The scorched bodies of the latest victims were found in groups of four or five, said Vassilis Andriopoulos, a Red Cross rescue worker on site. Perhaps they were families, or groups of friends, or strangers helping each other in their desperate dash towards the sea which was only 30 or 40 metres away, he said. The groups included young children, he said. As they fled from the flames, they probably found themselves trapped between the fire and the edge of a 30-metre cliff, rescue workers believe. A young girl who tried to jump to safety died, a witness reported. 'I was briefed by a rescuer that he saw the shocking picture of 26 people tightly huddled in a field some 30 metres from the beach,' Nikos Economopoulos, head of Greece's Red Cross, told Skai TV. 'They had tried to find an escape route but unfortunately these people and their kids didn't make it in time,' he said. A Reuters witness also saw several bodies in the area. Andreaas Passios, who lives next to the compound, said: 'Everything happened in seconds. I grabbed a beach towel. It saved my life. I soaked it, grabbed my wife and we ran to the sea.' Mr Passios said he and his wife stayed by the sea for two hours. 'It was unbelievable. Gas canisters were exploding. Burning pine cones were flying everywhere.' When the flames died down, Spyros Hadjiandreou came searching for loved ones. My niece and cousin were staying here on holiday,' he said. 'I don't know if they made it out. I don't know if they are OK. I haven't heard from them.' During the night, an AFP photographer discovered the bodies of four people who were also probably trying to flee the flames, three under a car and one under a motorbike. Early Tuesday, residents were returning to assess the damage. Some were still searching for missing loved ones. One woman was looking for her daughter, another for her husband and son - an indication that the death toll may yet worsen. The main street has turned into a scene of desolation. The pine trees around the houses are blackened, the sea is grey and there's a stench of smoke everywhere. Firefighters report that the fire progressed at 'lightning' speed, taking residents by surprise. 'I saw the fire move down the hill at around 6pm and five or ten minutes later it was in my garden,' says 60-year old Athanasia Oktapodi whose house, like many here, is surrounded by highly-inflammable pine trees. 'They caught fire. I ran out like a crazy person, got to the beach and put my head in the water. Then the patrol boats came,' she said. Most survivors stayed put in the water for hours, watching their town burn. Aleka Papariga, a former Greek Communist Party leader who lives near Rafina, said: 'The police tried to direct us away from the fire, but we couldn't escape it. 'We got stuck in traffic and the flames were on top of us. We managed to find a small gap and we made it out.' A Reuters photographer saw at least four dead on a narrow road clogged with cars heading to a nearby beach and heard reports of several more casualties. 'Residents and visitors in the area did not escape in time even though they were a few metres from the sea or in their homes,' fire brigade spokeswoman Stavroula Maliri said. One of the survivor described swimming into the sea to escape the flames and choking smoke only to get swept away by the current. He was rescued by a fishing boat but saw other members of his group drown. Nikos Stavrinidis had gone to his summer home in the Mati area near Rafina with his wife to prepare it for his student daughter who was coming to stay. Before he knew it, the fire surrounded him. 'It happened very fast. The fire was in the distance, then sparks from the fire reached us. Then the fire was all around us,' Stavrinidis told The Associated Press. 'We ran to the sea. We had to swim out because of the smoke, but we couldn't see where anything was,' he said. There were six people in his group: Stavrinidis, his wife and some of her friends. They swam further out to escape the smoke, but as they did so, they began to be carried away by the wind and the current. They lost sight of the shore and became disoriented. 'We couldn't see anything,' he said. Gale-force winds fanning the flames in the area also hampered firefighting efforts and whipped up the seas. 'We didn't all make it,' Stavrinidis said. One of the women in his group and one woman's son drowned. 'What upsets me and what I will carry in my heart is that it is terrible to see the person next to you drowning and not be able to help him. You can't. 'That's the only tragic thing,' he said, his voice breaking. 'That will stay with me.' Stavrinidis says he believes they were in the water for about two hours before being picked up by a fishing boat with an Egyptian crew. 'I'm grateful to all of them,' he said. 'They jumped into the sea with their clothes still on. They made us tea and kept us warm. They were great.' Merchant Marine deputy minister Nektarios Santorinios, whose ministry is in charge of the coastguard, said more than 700 people had been evacuated by sea by the coast guard. The country's entire fleet of water-dropping planes and helicopters to give vacationers time to escape. Military drones remained in the air in the high winds to help officials direct more than 600 firefighters on the ground. 'We were unlucky. The wind changed and it came at us with such force that it razed the coastal area in minutes,' said Evangelos Bournous, mayor of the port town of Rafina, a sleepy mainland port that serves Greek holiday islands. The dock area became a makeshift hospital as paramedics checked survivors, some of them clad in only their bathing suits, when they came off coast guard vessels and private boats. The operation continued through the night. At daybreak Tuesday, Ambulance Service deputy director Miltiadis Mylonas said the number of casualties was likely to rise as the more gutted homes and cars were checked. 'It took people by surprise and the events happened very fast. Also, the fires broke out on many fronts, so all these factors made the situation extremely difficult,' he said. 'The task we face now is organizing the identification of victims by members of their families.' Heading to Greece on holiday? As wildfires rip through tourist resorts here's what you need to check before you set off Holidaymakers due to visit Greece are being urged to monitor news reports and follow advice issued by the local authorities or their accommodation providers, after wildfires ripped through tourist resorts leaving 74 dead. The blazes centre around the coastal town of Mati to the east of Athens while authorities are co-ordinating to rescue tourists who fled to the harbour in Rafina - one of the worst hit areas. Greece welcomes 27million holidaymakers each year, and is especially popular with Brits who mainly head to the islands of Corfu, Crete, Rhodes and Mykonos. But the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) says that most visitors to Greece, including Athens, will be unaffected by the fires. In a statement, it said: 'There have been wildfires in a number of areas in southern Greece, including close to Athens; they have been confined to limited areas, but within those the impact has been high, with significant loss of life. 'Most visits to Greece, including to Athens, are unaffected, you should keep up to date with local media reports and follow the advice of the Greek authorities in affected areas. 'If you've been affected by the wildfires and need consular assistance, you can call the British Embassy in Athens on +30 210 7272 600; if you're in the UK and worried about a British national in Greece, call the FCO on 020 7008 1500.' Travel industry body Abta also reiterated to MailOnline Travel that most people going to Greece on holiday will avoid the fires. A spokesperson said: 'The wildfires in Greece are northeast of Athens in the Penteli area and 50km west of Athens. 'This area isn't a main destination for UK tourists. People on holiday in the region are advised to monitor news reports and follow any advice or instructions issued by the local authorities, their travel company or their accommodation providers. 'Anyone due to travel imminently to the areas affected should speak to their travel company or accommodation provider. 'Abta is in contact with the authorities in Greece and we are monitoring the situation.' Meanwhile holiday comparison site TravelSupermarket also told holidaymakers that they should monitor the FCO website for any advice as any warning not to travel could affect travel insurance claims. Spokesperson Emma Grimster explained: 'With events such as wild fires, advice is, on the whole, led by the Foreign and Commonwealth office (FCO). 'Holidaymakers due to travel to Greece need to keep a close eye on the FCO advice for the most up-to-date information on travelling to the country, and also keep in close contact with their travel provider to find out about any changes or delays to their travel arrangements. 'They should also check the terms and conditions of their travel insurance policy. While they won't be covered for simply deciding not to travel, if the FCO issues advice to avoid certain effected areas, travel insurance companies will tend to offer cover to travellers. Again, it is worth giving your insurer a call to find out the latest. 'If you're in the UK and worried about a British national in Greece, call the FCO on 020 7008 1500.' By Jennifer Newton for MailOnline The fire posed no immediate threat to Greece's famed ancient monuments, but as it raged inland, children's' summer camps and holiday homes were hastily abandoned. Fleeing drivers clogged highways into the capital, hampering the firefighting effort, and flecks of ash swirled onto central Athens. Authorities were still trying to evacuate inhabitants from coastal areas, government spokesman Dimitris Tzanakopoulos said early on Tuesday, while searches for further victims continued. 'Fifteen fires had started simultaneously on three different fronts in Athens', he said, prompting Greece to request drones from the United States, 'to observe and detect any suspicious activity'. Nine coastal patrol boats, two military vessels and 'dozens of private boats' assisted by army helicopters were mobilised to help those stuck in the harbour in Rafina, one of the worst affected areas close to Mati. Evacuees were transferred to hotels and military camps, while worried relatives flocked to the area. Police in the town said they found two Danish tourists out of a group of 10 in a boat at sea off the town and were trying to locate the others. Civil protection chief Yannis Kapakis said he had told Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, who cut short a visit to Bosnia to return home, that winds more than 60mph were creating 'an extreme situation'. Forecasters said conditions would remain challenging on Tuesday, although showers and falling temperatures were expected in Athens. In the north, more than 300 firefighters, five aircraft and two helicopters were mobilised to tackle the 'extremely difficult' situation, Athens fire chief Achille Tzouvaras said. The Greek government invoked European Union civil protection agreements to seek help from EU peers, with the country tinder box dry and at risk of more fires. Wildfires have caused widespread damage in Sweden and other northern European nations. Video footage showed inhabitants fleeing the fires by car, with several buildings and homes damaged, as the region of Attica - which includes Athens - declared a state of emergency. 'If I hadn't left, I'd have been burned,' a 67-year-old resident who gave her name as Maria told AFP. Near the town of Marathon, several residents fled to safety along the beach, while some 600 children were evacuated from holiday camps in the area. Tsipras said 'all emergency forces have been mobilised' to battle fires along at least three fronts. Emergency services were banking on a drop in the wind but the forecast for the region - which has experienced temperatures topping 104 Fahrenheit (40 Celsius) - suggest conditions would remain challenging into Tuesday. Smoke from the blazes blotted out the sun over the famed Parthenon temple in Athens, where some ministries closed Monday afternoon due to the searing heat. 'I am really concerned by the parallel outbreak of these fires,' Tsipras said, with officials raising the possibility they could have been started deliberately by criminals out to ransack abandoned homes. Fires are a common problem in Greece during the summer and can be major killers. Fires in 2007 on the southern island of Evia claimed 77 lives. Also on Monday, Sweden's civil protection agency MSB said there were 27 active fires across the nation, as temperatures were expected to soar as high as 35 Celsius this week. Other European countries including France, Italy and Germany have sent a mix of planes, trucks and firefighters to help tackle the blazes in Sweden, where usual summer temperatures are closer to 23 Celsius. Some 25,000 hectares (62,000 acres) of land has already gone up in smoke or continues to burn - an area twice the size of the city of Paris. At least four of the fires had not been brought under control, MSB said, and weather conditions were unfavourable. Fires sweep Europe as countries swelter in the heat Dozens of wildfires have hit countries across northern Europe and Greece as a heatwave continues to hold across much of the continent. The fires have been particularly devastating in the Attica region around Athens, where dozens of people have died. Here is a round up of the impact of the fires and the soaring temperatures. GREECE Greece's deadliest blazes in more than a decade have left 60 dead after wildfires ravaged the seaside areas around Athens. The bodies of 26 people, including small children, were discovered in the courtyard of a villa at the seaside resort of Mati - the devastation blamed on winds of more than 100 kilometres per hour (60 mph) forcing the flames through the village. More than 160 people have been wounded, including several children, the government said. SWEDEN Sweden's emergency services said Tuesday there are 21 active wildfires across the country as much of Scandinavia baked in a heatwave. Some 25,000 hectares (62,000 acres) of land has already gone up in smoke or continues to burn - an area twice the size of the city of Paris. Authorities on Monday warned of an 'extreme' risk of new outbreaks in the south of the country due to high temperatures. FINLAND In Finland's northernmost Lapland province - which calls itself the 'official home' of Santa Claus - fires have ravaged woods and grassland close to the border with Russia.

NORWAY Norway, which experienced its hottest May temperatures on record, has experienced several small fires. One firefighter was killed on July 15 trying to contain a blaze. LATVIA Fires have raged for almost a week in Latvia, destroying more than 800 hectares in the Baltic state's western regions. GERMANY The German Meteorological Service DWD has warned of a significant risk of fires in fields and forests due to drought. It forecast daytime temperatures to reach between 30 and 35 degrees Celsius (95 Fahrenheit) during the week. BRITAIN Parts of the UK continue to experience a prolonged heatwave. The government has issued a 'heat-health watch' alert for much of east and south-east England. HOLLAND The Dutch National Institute for Public Health has issued a heat warning for the whole week, warning air quality was likely to be 'bad' for much of the country. Twelve bridges in Amsterdam have been closed as the extreme heat could buckle the metal, the NOS public broadcaster reported. Sweden is experiencing an unprecedented drought and temperatures have reached their highest in a century. There has been practically no rain since the beginning of May in the Nordic country, aside from a paltry 13 millimetres (half an inch) in mid-June. The Forestry Bureau said Monday that the value of the destroyed forests was 900 million kronor (87 million euros, $102 million).

Several other northern European countries are also struggling to contain forest fires. In Finland's northernmost Lapland province, fires have ravaged woods and grassland close to the border with Russia. Norway, which this year experienced its hottest May temperatures on record, has also seen several small fires, and one firefighter was killed on July 15 trying to contain a blaze. Fires have raged for five days in Latvia, destroying more than 800 hectares in the Baltic state's western regions

Former Vatican Bank chief: Authors of New World Order demographic collapse influencing the Vatican

Diane Montagna Follow Diane

ROME, July 7, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) — The demographic collapse of the West in recent decades was planned in order to create the necessary conditions to usher in a New World Order, and the authors of this collapse are now influencing the Vatican at the highest levels, the former president of the Vatican bank has said. Speaking at the first international conference of the John Paul II academy for human life and the family, Italian economist and banker Ettore Gotti Tedeschi said efforts to decrease the world’s population by globalist elites have set in motion a series of predictable and intended economic, geo-political, and social catastrophes meant to “persuade” people around the world to accept a global “political vision” that would eliminate national sovereignty and institute “gnostic environmentalism” as its “universal religion.” The recurrent themes of the present papacy are poverty, immigration and the environment, and we are led to believe that these are caused by “the greed of bankers,” war and man, the “cancer of nature,” he said. But this is “fake news” according to Gotti Tedeschi. For him, the cause behind all of these scourges is the “collapse in births.”  The people pushing this fake news, he said, are “gnostic prophets” such as population control proponents Paul Ehrlich, Jeffrey Sachs and Ban Ki-moon who, rejecting the natural law and the divine order of creation, seek to proselytize the world with their “anti-Catholic gnosis.” According to Gotti Tedeschi, the “greatest enemy” of the New World Order is the family because it provides “education, autonomy and independence” from the state. Its second enemy is the Catholic Church, he said, and yet these gnostic prophets are “rewriting genesis in the halls of the Vatican.” “It was planned” “The demographic collapse was planned without any doubt,” Gotti Tedeschi said. “It is unthinkable that the decision makers in the United States and around the world did not know what they would have created by refusing life and the natural law.” The Italian financier said the economic collapse has been caused by a “collapse in births,” not because couples are having no children, but because they are not having enough to provide economic growth. “Zero growth is two children for a couple,” he said. “Zero growth is substitution,” with the consequence that “GDP stops growing.” Governments have “solved” this problem by “increasing consumerism” and outsourcing production, primarily to Asia.  But as the demographic collapse results in an ever larger aging population, so governments must increase taxes to absorb the costs of those living in retirement, he explained, resulting in a crippling effect on GDP and nations’ economies. “It can appear to grow, but it is a big bluff invented in the last 30 years,” he said. Gotti Tedeschi believes that none of this has happened by chance, and that the decrease in population was needed in order to produce a crisis in the global economy and so make it easier to usher in a New World Order. “Economy is a formidable means of persuasion,” he said. “It is the best excuse to make people around the world accept a conclusion.” He referred to the “Kissinger Report,” which he said was partly an attempt to “homogenize culture” by relativizing religion and “if possible, creating religious syncretism.” This goal is helped by immigration, leading to a potentially dangerous mix of religious dogmas that could “cause war.” The population control movement in the United States dates back to the pro-nazi, pro-eugenics founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger. In 1969, President Richard Nixon criticized population growth in the third world, a problem later addressed by the Commission on Population Growth and the American Future in 1972, directed by J.D. Rockefeller III. At the time, American geo-stratestists thought that population growth in the third world was a threat to American international interests. This led to the National Security Study Memorandum 200 (NSSM 200), published by Henry Kissinger two years later, in 1974. The 200-page report specifically states that population growth in the third world is a threat to American international interests because the growing populations need too many resources and the Western industrial system, for example, needs the resources of Africa. The report also called for increased funding to be given to Planned Parenthood. “Everything was planned,” Gotti Tedeschi believes, lamenting the fact that documents such as the Kissinger Report have largely not been read. He said the threat of environmental catastrophe, which he calls “fake news,” is now used to push for a reduction in the population gap between East and West. Not only that, but the growing gap between “too many rich and old” people and “too many young people who are unemployed” is used to “create the spirit for accepting euthanasia.” Such a mentality is “criminal,” he said, as he recalled Italy’s Prime Minister (he didn’t say which) telling him one could cut the cost of government expenditure “in one second” through euthanasia which would “cut 25% of the population over 60 years old.” Gotti Tedeschi also drew attention to the current tension between globalism and nationalism: those who wish for a Europe that helps single countries grow as opposed to globalists who would prefer a Europe that governs all countries and eliminates national sovereignty. So what can the Church do? “The Church will either collide or be isolated,” he said. But “something has happened that should worry a lot of people,” he added referring to recent actions taken, in particular, by the Pontifical Academy of Sciences. Those currently advising the “top of the Church,” he observed, are population control advocates such as Paul Ehrlich, Jeffrey Sachs, and the former UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon — people he calls “gnostic prophets.” To transform the “divine genesis into a gnostic genesis,” and to do this at the Pontifical Academy inside the Vatican would be their “masterpiece,” he said. “We are near” to this happening, he added. “This should worry everyone.”

Mars' mysterious proton auroras that cover half the PLANET are made possible by 'stolen' electrons, NASA discovers

Unlike Earth’s auroras, which are caused by electrons, the events on Mars are the result of an influx of protons

Phenomenon baffled scientists, as it means protons can travel past Mars’ ‘bow shock,’ and give off light

Observations with the Maven spacecraft show protons behave this way by ‘stealing’ electrons on their way in

By Cheyenne Macdonald For Dailymail.com Published: 17:50 EDT, 23 July 2018 | Updated: 18:10 EDT, 23 July 2018

NASA has discovered a new type of aurora lighting up the skies over Mars – but, as they spring up over the planet’s day side, they’d be quite difficult to see. The Maven spacecraft has spotted mysterious brightening events in the hydrogen gas of Mars’ upper atmosphere, revealing the interaction of particles bombarding the region. Unlike Earth’s auroras, however, which are caused by electrons, the light events on Mars are the result of an influx of protons. Scientists have now figured out how these unusual phenomena come about, suggesting it all boils down to 'stolen' electrons. Scientists were at first baffled by the strange Martian auroras, which showed protons were able to travel beyond Mars’ magnetic ‘bow shock,’ and give off light – something that typically requires electrons. The team studied the phenomenon using Maven’s Imaging UltraViolet Spectrograph, revealing instances where ultraviolet light would brighten for hours on end. These occurred as the craft’s Solar Wind Ion Analyzer logged a boost in solar wind protons. According to NASA, the protons are able to behave in this way by ‘stealing’ electrons on their way in. ‘The answer was thievery,’ said Justin Deighan, of the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado, Boulder. ‘As they approach Mars, the protons coming in with the solar wind transform into neutral atoms by stealing electrons from the outer edge of the huge clouds of hydrogen surrounding the planet. ‘The bow shock can only divert charged particles, so these neutral atoms continue right on through.’ These unusual proton auroras occur far more frequently on Mars than they do on Earth, according to the experts. This is in large part due to Earth’s strong magnetic field. WHAT ARE THE AURORAS AND WHAT TRIGGERS THE STUNNING NATURAL DISPLAYS? The Northern and Southern Lights are natural light spectacles triggered in our atmosphere that are also known as the 'Auroras'. There are two types of Aurora - Aurora Borealis, which means 'dawn of the north', and Aurora Australis, 'dawn of the south.' The displays light up when electrically charged particles from the sun enter the Earth’s atmosphere. Usually the particles, sometimes referred to as a solar storm, are deflected by Earth’s magnetic field. But during stronger storms they enter the atmosphere and collide with gas particles, including hydrogen and helium. These collisions emit light. Auroral displays appear in many colours although pale green and pink are common. When they do happen on rare occasion, this is seen in small regions near the poles. At Mars, on the other hand, proton auroras can essentially happen anywhere, NASA says. The experts say proton auroras could also be common on Venus and Saturn’s moon, Titan, which both lack magnetic fields and have an abundance of hydrogen in the upper atmosphere. ‘The Martian proton auroras are more than a light show,’ said Jasper Halekas of the University of Iowa. ‘They reveal that the solar wind is not completely diverted around Mars, by showing how solar wind protons can sneak past the bow shock and impact the atmosphere, depositing energy and even enhancing the hydrogen content there.’

Claim: WiFi radiation from Fitbits can cause rashes, illnesses, and blood sugar fluctuations

Thursday, July 19, 2018 by: Isabelle Z.

(Natural News) As Americans and people around the world see their health declining, it’s no surprise that more and more individuals are becoming health-conscious. Anytime there is a trend as big as the current focus on health and well-being, there will be enterprises looking to profit from those who are jumping on the bandwagon. One such example is the Fitbit, a device the purports to help people improve their health but in many cases appear to demonstrate the opposite effect. These fitness trackers are worn as bracelets to keep track of the number of steps that people take in a day, how much sleep they get, how many calories they burn and other metrics depending on the model. However, they accomplish this using Wi-Fi radiation, which may have very serious health effects such as disfiguring rashes and blood sugar fluctuations that promote weight gain. Making matters worse is the fact that the devices are worn directly against the skin. Cell phone instruction manuals warn people to keep their phones at least an inch away from their bodies at all times because of the radiation dangers, so it’s easy to imagine why wearing these trackers against your wrist at all hours is a bad idea. Wi-Fi radiation has been classified as a possible carcinogen, and some experts have called for it to be considered a full-fledged carcinogen. No safe level of this type of radiation has been determined for pregnant women and children, yet these groups also wear Fitbits. In 2014, Fitbit issued a voluntary recall of its Force activity tracker after 10,000 complaints about itchy and irritated wrists were filed. However, ABC 10 reports that newer versions of these products were also giving users rashes so bad that they resulted in scars. Users have also reported symptoms like nausea, headaches, dizziness, pain, and erratic pulse. Many report that their symptoms go away when they stop wearing the device. It’s also problematic that so many people are wearing these devices while sleeping. There is no data that proves using them while sleeping is safe. Many experts suggest that people turn all of the wireless sources in their home off at night as Wi-Fi can have a profoundly negative impact on sleep. Even getting just a few nights of bad sleep can spur weight gain, which means that Fitbit wearers could be sabotaging their efforts to lose weight during the day by keeping these devices on their wrist at night. Study shows Fitbit wearers actually lose less weight The Daily Mail reported that wearing the device caused 39-year-old Fiona Benbow to gain 14 pounds in just a month. It might be easy to dismiss her story and attribute her weight gain to some other cause. However, a study that was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) found that those who wear fitness trackers lost less weight in the long term than those who did not. In Fiona’s case, she believes that inaccurate data was behind her extreme weight gain. For example, if the device told her she had burned 3000 calories, she believed it was okay to reward herself with a sweet treat. However, its calculations often turn out to be incorrect; these devices are known for overestimating the number of calories that people burn. She ultimately shed pounds by cleaning up her diet and taking a regular power walk. In the JAMA study, 470 people were told to exercise more and consume a diet low in calories. All of them began to lose weight. After six months, half of the participants were asked to self-report their exercise and diet; the other half wore fitness trackers to keep track of their activity levels. Although both groups had been equally active by the end of two years, those who wore the fitness trackers had actually lost less weight. The study’s lead author, John Jakicic of the University of Pittsburgh, said he believes the problem is that many wearers justify eating more after seeing how many calories the device claims they’ve burned.

For you have not a leader of this country who follows my word or ways. They have gone the ways of the antichrist system and forsaken the religion of their forefathers of days gone by. etc..

Profane Hollywood’s Obsession With Pedophilia

Dan Harmon video only the latest example of degeneracy of the elite

Jon Bowne | Infowars.com - July 23, 2018

There were days when pushing the envelope of what is acceptable to print in the journals of American culture was debatable and acceptable. Nowadays in the minefields of pc, Twitter culture, it has become just plain career suicide. But it all depends on what the sick culture of Hollywood deems acceptable and unacceptable.

What is 5G and what will it mean for you?

By Matthew Wall Technology of Business editor 24 July 2018

Superfast "fifth generation 5G" mobile internet could be launched as early as next year in some countries, promising download speeds 10 to 20 times faster than we have now. But what difference will it really make to our lives? Will we need new phones? And will it solve the "notspot" issue for people in remote areas? In the first of a five-part series examining the impact 5G could have around the world, Technology of Business tackles the basic questions. What is 5G exactly? It's the next - fifth-generation of mobile internet connectivity promising much faster data download and upload speeds, wider coverage and more stable connections. It's all about making better use of the radio spectrum and enabling far more devices to access the mobile internet at the same time. What will it enable us to do? "Whatever we do now with our smartphones we'll be able to do faster and better," says Ian Fogg from OpenSignal, a mobile data analytics company. "Think of smart glasses featuring augmented reality, mobile virtual reality, much higher quality video, the internet of things making cities smarter. "But what's really exciting is all the new services that will be built that we can't foresee." Imagine swarms of drones co-operating to carry out search and rescue missions, fire assessments and traffic monitoring, all communicating wirelessly with each other and ground base stations over 5G networks. Similarly, many think 5G will be crucial for autonomous vehicles to communicate with each other and read live map and traffic data. Drones to the rescue! - BBC News What will stop these self-driving lorries colliding? More prosaically, mobile gamers should notice less delay - or latency - when pressing a button on a controller and seeing the effect on screen. Mobile videos should be near instantaneous and glitch-free. Video calls should become clearer and less jerky. Wearable fitness devices could monitor your health in real time, alerting doctors as soon as any emergency arises. How does it work? There are a number of new technologies likely to be applied - but standards haven't been hammered out yet for all 5G protocols. Higher-frequency bands - 3.5GHz (gigahertz) to 26GHz and beyond - have a lot of capacity but their shorter wavelengths mean their range is lower - they're more easily blocked by physical objects. Jump media player Media player help Out of media player. Press enter to return or tab to continue. So we may see clusters of smaller phone masts closer to the ground transmitting so-called "millimetre waves" between much higher numbers of transmitters and receivers. This will enable higher density of usage. But it's expensive and telecoms companies are not wholly committed yet. Is it very different to 4G? Yes, it's a brand new radio technology, but you might not notice vastly higher speeds at first because 5G is likely to be used by network operators initially as a way to boost capacity on existing 4G (LTE - Long-Term Evolution) networks, to ensure a more consistent service for customers. The speed you get will depend on which spectrum band the operator runs the 5G technology on and how much your carrier has invested in new masts and transmitters. So how fast could it be? The fastest current 4G mobile networks offer about 45Mbps (megabits per second) on average, although the industry is still hopeful of achieving 1Gbps (gigabit per second = 1,000Mbps). Chipmaker Qualcomm reckons 5G could achieve browsing and download speeds about 10 to 20 times faster in real-world (as opposed to laboratory) conditions. Imagine being able to download a high-definition film in a minute or so. This is for 5G networks built alongside existing 4G LTE networks. Standalone 5G networks, on the other hand, operating within very high frequencies (30GHz say) could easily achieve gigbabit-plus browsing speeds as standard. But these aren't likely to come in until a few years later. Why do we need it? The world is going mobile and we're consuming more data every year, particularly as the popularity of video and music streaming increases. Existing spectrum bands are becoming congested, leading to breakdowns in service, particularly when lots of people in the same area are trying to access online mobile services at the same time. 5G is much better at handling thousands of devices simultaneously, from mobiles to equipment sensors, video cameras to smart street lights. When is it coming? Most countries are unlikely to launch 5G services before 2020, but Qatar's Ooredoo says it has already launch a commercial service, while South Korea is aiming to launch next year, with its three largest network operators agreeing to kick off at the same time. China is also racing to launch services in 2019. Meanwhile, regulators around the world have been busy auctioning off spectrum to telecoms companies, who've been experimenting with mobile phone makers on new services. Will I need a new phone? Yes, I'm afraid so. But when 4G was introduced in 2009/10, compatible smart phones came onto the market before the infrastructure had been rolled out fully, leading to some frustration amongst consumers who felt they were paying more in subscriptions for a patchy service. This time, says Ian Fogg, phone makers are unlikely to make the same mistake, launching 5G handsets only when the new networks are ready, probably towards the end of 2019. These next generation phones will be able to switch seamlessly between 4G and 5G networks for a more stable service. Will it mean the end of fixed line services? In a word, no. Telecoms companies have invested too much in fibre optic and copper wire fixed line broadband to give those up in a hurry. Domestic and office broadband services will be primarily fixed line for many years to come, although so-called fixed wireless access will be made available in tandem. However good wireless connectivity becomes, many prefer the stability and certainty of physical wires. Think of 5G mobile as a complementary service for when we're out and about, interacting with the world around us. It will also facilitate the much-heralded "internet of things". Will it work in rural areas? Lack of signal and low data speeds in rural areas is a common complaint in the UK and many other countries. But 5G won't necessarily address this issue as it will operate on high-frequency bands - to start with at least - that have a lot of capacity but cover shorter distances. 5G will primarily be an urban service for densely populated areas. Lower-frequency bands (600-800Mhz typically) are better over longer distances, so network operators will concentrate on improving their 4G LTE coverage in parallel with 5G roll-out. But commercial reality means that for some people in very remote areas, connectivity will still be patchy at best without government subsidy making it worthwhile for network operators to go to these places.

A glitch in Google Translate's AI is translating gibberish into doomsday warnings and prophecies about the second coming of Jesus

The bug is apparent when translating the word 'dog' from Hawaiian to English

When repeated multiple times, the AI forms its own nonsensical sentences

Examples produced by Google Translate refer to the doomsday clock and Jesus

Most of the rambling translations seem to be focused around biblical themes

Google says the glitch exists because if nonsense is being inputted, the same level of gibberish will be reproduced using its AI

By Joe Pinkstone For Mailonline Published: 13:19 EDT, 23 July 2018 | Updated: 14:12 EDT, 23 July 2018

A newly-discovered glitch in Google Translate is causing the online tool to transform gibberish suggestions into doomsday warnings and prophesies about Jesus. The AI that powers Google Translate starts to produce the nonsensical warnings about the end of the world when asked to translate the phrase 'dog dog dog dog dog dog dog dog dog' from Hawaiian to English. The nonsense sentence, when translated, throws up references to the doomsday clock and the second coming of Jesus Christ. Once the glitch was discovered, Google Translate fans quickly flooded social media with variations on the phrase, mocking the bizarre results thrown-up by the AI. The glitch was first unearthed on social news site Reddit, which has a forum devoted to the obscure outputs from Google Translate. The exact doomsday prophecies varied depending on the phrase, but all centred around the same dark themes. Typing dog into Google Translate eight times with the settings on Hawaiian and translating it to English reveals the bizarre message: 'Do you want a dog to accept Jesus and be saved?' Repeating the word 20 times triggers a response of: 'Doomsday Clock is three minutes at 12. We are experiencing characters and a dramatic developments [sic] in the world, which indicate that we are increasingly approaching the end times and Jesus' return.' Typing 'dog' into Google Translate 18 times and selecting the input language as Maori results in the following message: 'Doomsday Clock is three minutes at twelve We are experiencing characters and a dramatic developments in the world, which indicate that we are increasingly approaching the end times and Jesus' return.' Google Translate boasts a repertoire of over 100 languages and serves more than 500 million people each day. The AI is able to automatically detect the source language, and then translate into a any language chosen by the user in the online form. The latest batch of nonsensical translations mostly focus around biblical themes, however, this is not the first time oddball conversions have been produced by the AI. For example, typing in the word 'goo' 13 times in succession and choosing to translate from Somali to English will result in the message: 'Cut off the penis into pieces, cut it into pieces.' Another Somali-based oddity involves inputting the word 'Ag' multiple times and translating it to English. 'As a result, the total number of the members of the tribe of the sons of Gershon was one hundred fifty thousand,' the resulting message reads. Another cryptic message reads: 'As the name of the LORD was written in the Hebrew language, it was written in the language of the Hebrew Nation.' The religious theme running throughout the translation caused some online users to jokingly blame demons for the glitch. However, the real reason behind the phenomena is linked to how the AI powering Google Translate acquires its knowledge. 'Google Translate learns from examples of translations on the web and does not use 'private messages' to carry out translations, nor would the system even have access to that content,' a Google spokesperson told The Independent. 'This is simply a function of inputting nonsense into the system, to which nonsense is generated.' Alexander Rush, a professor at Harvard University, told technology site Motherboard the glitch could be caused by Google Translate's adoption of a technique called 'neural machine translation'. This method involves training the technology with a large chunk of texts in one language and then the respective translations in a different language. The issue stems from when the nonsense is fed nonsense, it churns out nonsense after 'hallucinating'. Sean Colbath, a senior scientist at BBN Technologies, said it may be that Google used translations of the Bible to train its machine, which would explain some of the bizarre prophetic messages. WHY ARE PEOPLE SO WORRIED ABOUT AI? It is an issue troubling some of the greatest minds in the world at the moment, from Bill Gates to Elon Musk. SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk described AI as our 'biggest existential threat' and likened its development as 'summoning the demon'. He believes super intelligent machines could use humans as pets. Professor Stephen Hawking said it is a 'near certainty' that a major technological disaster will threaten humanity in the next 1,000 to 10,000 years. They could steal jobs More than 60 percent of people fear that robots will lead to there being fewer jobs in the next ten years, according to a 2016 YouGov survey. And 27 percent predict that it will decrease the number of jobs 'a lot' with previous research suggesting admin and service sector workers will be the hardest hit. As well as posing a threat to our jobs, other experts believe AI could 'go rogue' and become too complex for scientists to understand. A quarter of the respondents predicted robots will become part of everyday life in just 11 to 20 years, with 18 percent predicting this will happen within the next decade. They could 'go rogue' Computer scientist Professor Michael Wooldridge said AI machines could become so intricate that engineers don't fully understand how they work. If experts don't understand how AI algorithms function, they won't be able to predict when they fail. This means driverless cars or intelligent robots could make unpredictable 'out of character' decisions during critical moments, which could put people in danger. For instance, the AI behind a driverless car could choose to swerve into pedestrians or crash into barriers instead of deciding to drive sensibly. They could wipe out humanity Some people believe AI will wipe out humans completely. 'Eventually, I think human extinction will probably occur, and technology will likely play a part in this,' DeepMind's Shane Legg said in a recent interview. He singled out artificial intelligence, or AI, as the 'number one risk for this century'. Musk warned that AI poses more of a threat to humanity than North Korea. 'If you're not concerned about AI safety, you should be. Vastly more risk than North Korea,' the 46-year-old wrote on Twitter. 'Nobody likes being regulated, but everything (cars, planes, food, drugs, etc) that's a danger to the public is regulated. AI should be too.' Musk has consistently advocated for governments and private institutions to apply regulations on AI technology. He has argued that controls are necessary in order protect machines from advancing out of human control

Heat wave scorches Sweden as wildfires rage in Arctic Circle

Published Jul 21, 2018, 5:00 am SGT

Water shortages add to anguish of Swedes who link extreme weather to global warming

STOCKHOLM • As Europe grapples with near-record temperatures and sustained drought, Sweden has become the latest nation to confront a wave of wildfires as far north as the Arctic Circle, prompting the authorities to evacuate some villages and to appeal for help from neighbouring Norway and distant Italy. There were no immediate reports of any deaths or injuries, but the intensity of the fires and the extreme weather conditions earlier in the year have prompted anguished debate among some Swedes who have described the conflagrations in apocalyptic terms and linked them to global warming. "It's very, very dry in most of Sweden," Mr Jonas Olsson of the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute said on Thursday. "The flows in the rivers and lakes are exceptionally low, except in the very northern part of the country. We have water shortages." Rainfall was only about a seventh of the normal amount - the lowest since record-keeping began in the late 19th century, he said. "It has been a very strange year," the hydrologist added, referring to the swing from thick snow in winter, to a sudden warming in May to "very big" spring floods. "Surely, it's an unusual situation. It is in line with what we would expect from a global warming perspective." Last year, parts of Europe sweltered under a heat wave that residents in France, Italy and Spain called "Lucifer". And deadly fires swept Portugal and Spain. But unusually this year, fires have consumed forests and moorland in parts of Europe that are much less accustomed to them. Sweden, Denmark, southern Norway and northern Finland are experiencing a period of extreme heat which, according to weather forecasts, is unlikely to end soon. The Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter said 49 fires were burning in many parts of the country, including in central counties and in Swedish Lapland, inside the Arctic Circle, threatening forests near the tourist centre of Jokkmokk. Temperatures there generally plummet far below zero in winter but soar in summer. The fires outside Jokkmokk are the most severe in more than a decade, according to the local fire service. The Swedish armed forces and the Home Guard have been called in to help, Dagens Nyheter reported, because the emergency services do not have enough personnel or resources to fight the blazes. The Swedish news agency TT said that the fires had devoured woodlands valued at almost US$70 million (S$96 million). In Jamtland county in northern Sweden, 100 firefighters are working around the clock to battle eight blazes, said fire chief Lars Nyman. "It started on Thursday with lightning storms," he said, and officers "had to evacuate a number of villages in our county". "We need several days of rain to dampen the earth now. It won't be enough with a light shower." Swedish farmers are being forced to disrupt their seasonal routines because crops such as fodder for animals are not growing the way they used to. The lack of fodder has already forced some farmers to send several of their cows to slaughter. "It will take years to rebuild the quality and size of the cattle," said Mr Ulf Wallin, spokesman for the Federation of Swedish Farmers. He warned against wildfires at the beginning of the harvest season. "This is the worst crisis for Swedish farmers in more than 50 years," he said, adding the loss is already estimated at over two billion Swedish kronor (S$307 million). Apart from the lack of water, the milk from the cows is also a major concern. If the animals are not well-fed then their product's quality will suffer too. "They are not going to milk as much as I would like to," farmer Jacob Gustawson said. Mr Palle Borgstrom, a dairy farmer who lives north of Gothenburg, said: "It will take many years to recover from this season." NYTIMES, AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE

China Announces Deadly Fleet Of "Extra Large" AI Submarines

by Tyler Durden Tue, 07/24/2018 - 01:00

China is currently developing relatively low-cost "smart" unmanned submarines that can perform a wide variety of tasks, from surveillance to the placement of munitions and "suicide" attacks, reports the South China Morning Post. The unmanned subs are part of Beijing's ambitious plan to enhance its country's naval power with AI technology in order to challenge Western naval superiority in regions like the South China Sea and western Pacific Ocean, while the first autonomous robotic drones expected to be deployed in the early 2020s. The project is part of the government's ambitious plan to boost the country's naval power with AI technology. China has built the world's largest testing facility for surface drone boats in Zhuhai, Guangdong province. Military researchers are also developing an AI-assisted support system for submarine commanders. As the South China Morning Post reported earlier this year, that system will help captains make faster, more accurate judgments in the heat of combat situations. The new class of unmanned submarines will join the other autonomous or manned military systems on water, land and orbit to carry out missions in coordinated efforts, according to the researchers. -SCMP The AI-enhanced subs will "go out, handle their assignments and return to base on their own," reports SCMP, while establishing periodic contact with ground command as needed. The subs will eventually be able to station themselves for ambushes at geographical "chockpoints" where enemy ships are likely to travel, while also being able to work with manned submarines to scout, or as decoys to draw fire and expose an adversary's position. The robotic submarines rely heavily on artificial intelligence to deal with the sea’s complex environment. They must make decisions constantly on their own: changing course and depth to avoid detection; distinguishing civilian from military vessels; choosing the best approach to reach a designated position. -SCMP An AI sub “can be instructed to take down a nuclear-powered submarine or other high-value targets. It can even perform a kamikaze strike,” said the researcher, in reference to Japanese WWII fighter pilots. “The AI has no soul. It is perfect for this kind of job,” the researcher added. Luo Yuesheng, professor at the College of Automation in Harbin Engineering University, a major development centre for China’s new submarines, contended that AI subs would put the human captains of other vessels under enormous pressure in battle. It is not just that the AI subs are fearless, Luo said, but that they could learn from the sinking of other AI vessels and adjust their strategy continuously. An unmanned submarine trained to be familiar to a specific water “will be a formidable opponent”, he said. -SCMP The subs do have limits - for now, so they are beginning with relatively simple tasks while final decisions are all made by human beings, according to Chinese military researchers. That said, they'll be huge compared to normal UUVs, according to the report. Lin Yang, marine technology equipment director at the Shenyang Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, confirmed to the South China Morning Post this month that China is developing a series of extra-large unmanned underwater vehicles, or XLUUVs. They station in dock as conventional submarines. Their cargo bay is reconfigurable and large enough to accommodate a wide range of freight, from powerful surveillance equipment to missiles or torpedoes. Their energy supply comes from diesel-electric engines or other power sources that ensure continuous operation for months. -SCMP The institute is a major developer of underwater robotics for the Chinese Military - having developed Beijing's first autonomous underwater vehicle with an operational depth beyond 3.7 miles. Yang is now the chief scientist of China's "912 Project," a classified program to develop the country's underwater military robots in time for the 100-year anniversary of the Chinese Communist party in 2021. Lin called China’s unmanned submarine programme a countermeasure against similar weapons now under intensive development in the United States. He declined to elaborate on technical specifications because the information was “sensitive”. -SCMP “It will be announced sooner or later, but not now,” he added. Not to be outdone in size or girth, the US military announced as major defense contract last year for two prototype XLUUVs by 2020. Lockheed Martin’s Orca system would station in an area of operation with the ability to establish communication to base from time to time. It would return home after deploying payloads, according to the company’s website. -SCMP “A critical benefit of Orca is that Navy personnel launch, recover, operate, and communicate with the vehicle from a home base and are never placed in harm’s way,” the company said in an announcement. Unsurprisingly, Lockheed did not respond to the South China Morning Post's requests for information on Orca's size and operational endurance. Boeing, meanwhile, is developing the other prototype - its "Echo Voyager," a 50-ton autonomous sub first developed for commercial purposes such as mapping the ocean floor. The approximately 50 foot vehicle just 8.5 feet in diameter can operate for months over a range of around 7,500 miles - enough to sail from San Francisco to Shanghai at 8 knots. Russia has also reportedly developed a large underwater drone able to carry a 100-megaton warhead - the Status-6 autonomous torpedo. China's announcement comes seven months after US officials say China unlawfully seized an unmanned underwater US Navy vehicle in international waters in the South China Sea. According to CNN, a US oceanographic vessel had its underwater drone stolen by a Chinese warship literally right in front of the eyes of the American crew

'You wouldn't dare attack': Tehran goads 'passive' Trump and says he 'can't do a damn thing to Iran' after his all-caps warning to president Rouhani

Iran and Trump locked in bitter war of words over looming trade sanctions

Hassan Rouhani warned Trump that 'war with Iran will be the mother of all wars' before President threatened Tehran with 'consequences that few have suffered'

Iranians have since hit back, saying that Trump 'won't dare' attack their country

Regime also dismissed Trump's all-caps Twitter threat as a 'passive reaction'

Iran has hit back at Donald Trump after the President warned Tehran to 'never, ever threaten the US again' in an all-caps Twitter outburst that raised the specter of war. A top Iranian general bragged on Monday that America 'won't dare' attack despite Trump threatening 'consequences few throughout history have ever suffered' a tweet-storm late on Sunday night. General Gholam Hossein Gheibparvar, chief of the Revolutionary Guard's Basij force, dismissed Trump's message as little more than 'psychological warfare.' He added: 'We will never abandon our revolutionary beliefs. We will resist pressure from enemies. 'America wants nothing less than [to] destroy Iran ... [but] Trump cannot do a damn thing against Iran.' Iran's state-owned IRNA news agency further goaded Trump, describing his tweet as a 'passive reaction'. Trump lashed out at Rouhani on Twitter late on Sunday, warning of 'consequences the like of which few throughout history have suffered' The agency also accused Trump of copying Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, who had in the past warned the West to 'never threaten an Iranian.' Trump's attack came after President Hassan Rouhani gave a speech in which he cautioned: 'Peace with Iran will be the mother of all peace, but war with Iran will be the mother of all wars.' That prompted Trump to write: 'To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. 'WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!' The message echoed remarks Trump made to North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un in August last year amid a flurry of missile tests. At the time, Trump told reporters: 'North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States. 'They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen.' Trump's remarks came after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo pledged a 'maximum pressure campaign' against Rouhani and his government. The Trump administration described its approach to North Korea in the same terms. Pompeo branded Iran's leadership a 'mafia' and promised US backing to groups rebelling against the government, though did not name them. All of this comes after Trump effectively tore up the Iran nuclear agreement signed under predecessor Barack Obama by threatening tough new sanctions on Tehran. In response Iran threatened to blockade the Strait of Hormuz, which handles around 20 per cent of the world's oil shipments. The Trump administration initially planned to shut Iran out of global oil markets completely, demanding all other countries stop buying Iranian crude by November. But the U.S. has somewhat eased its stance, saying it may grant sanction waivers to some allies that are particularly reliant on Iranian supplies.

Proof Kim really IS dismantling his nuclear arsenal: Satellite images show the North Korean dictator's bomb factories lying ruined after his pledge to Trump at historic Singapore summit

In Singapore summit on June 12, Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un discussed plans to denuclearize North Korea

New pictures released this week appear to show the dismantling of facilities at North's Sohae satellite station

Sohae is believed to have played a part in developing the country's intercontinental ballistic missile program

By Joe Middleton For Mailonline Published: 21:16 EDT, 23 July 2018 | Updated: 10:38 EDT, 24 July 2018

Satellite images appear to show that North Korea has started to dismantle a key nuclear test site. The images come more than a month after Kim Jong Un pledged to denuclearize his country following a historic summit with President Donald Trump in Singapore. The accord did not specifically spell out any time scales for the process or how it would be carried out. But new satellite images, which have not been verified by outside experts, appear to show the dismantling of facilities at the Sohae satellite launching station. Sohae has been the main site for North Korea's satellite launches since 2012. It is believed to have played a large role in developing the country's intercontinental ballistic missile program, according to 38North, which released the satellite images. The new images, which were reportedly taken on July 20 and July 22, appear to show that the rail-mounted environmental shelter at the site has been dismantled and moved. Space launch vehicles were assembled at the shelter - which hadn't been moved since December 2017 - before they are moved to the launchpad, according to 38North analyst Joseph Bermudez Jr. The image also appears to show that the test stand superstructure has been completely dismantled and that the base is being removed. 'The rail-mounted environmental shelter has been razed and removed, the older fuel/oxidizer bunkers are in the process of being razed, and portions of the test stand's upper steel framework have been dismantled and its paneling removed,' Bermudez wrote. 'Two days later fewer vehicles are present and the test stand superstructure has been completely dismantled, leaving only the base, which is also in the process of being removed.' 'Given the state of activity, work is likely to have begun sometime within the past two weeks.' The images also appear to show that the dismantling of the old fuel/oxidizer bunkers has also started and is partially demolished. TRUMP AND KIM JONG UN'S HISTORIC SUMMIT Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un met for a historic summit in Singpaore on June 12. The two world leaders released a joint statement following the summit in which the North Korean leader 'reaffirmed his firm and unwavering commitment to complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula'. While Trump claimed Kim was going to start 'right away', the actual statement made no mention of a timetable for denuclearization. 'We're prepared to start a new history, and we're ready to write a new chapter between our two nations,' Trump said in a press conference following the summit. Trump predicted Pyongyang's nuclear weapons program will come to an end and claimed that Kim had already left Singapore and was 'on his way back' to North Korea to begin implementing their joint vows. 'I believe he's going to live up to that document,' Trump said. 'Our eyes are wide open, but peace is always worth the effort, especially in this case.' Trump revealed the document did not include a guarantee to stop producing ballistic missiles at certain sites but that Kim said he would at a 'later' time. As the summit concluded Trump flattered Kim by saying he's 'a very talented man' who 'loves his country very much' causing a stir. But Trump insisted that Kim's human rights abuses were a primary topic of conversation, aside from denuclearization. 'I think it will change. I think it probably has to,' he said of changes that Kim will have to embrace in order to hail in the 'glorious new era' that he says is North Korea's for the taking. Trump also predicted that among the 'winners' in the future will be the tens of thousands of people held in North Korea's prison camps. Many were also shocked when Trump revealed the US would no longer participate in joint military exercises with South Korea and agreed that they were 'provocative' towards the North. Trump characterized them as 'very expensive,' however, and tried to portray their end as an economic decision rather than a negotiated concession that the US had previously said it wouldn't budge on. A construction crane can be seen in the middle of the site with dismantled parts scattered around it. It is placed in front of the rail-mounted processing structure, which is partially dismantled. Bermudez's timeline indicates that, if the images are accurate, the Sohae dismantling may have begun after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo paid a visit to to the country to follow up on progress from the summit. Joel Wit, 38North's founder, said the images could indicate that North Korea is willing to 'give up its space launch program'. 'Only one step in the right direction, but an important one,' wrote Writ, a former State Department negotiator with the country. In May, images seemed to indicate that North Korea had destroyed the Punggye-ri nuclear test site, the only known nuclear test site in the country. But analysts warned that experts needed to verify these images, and just last month US intelligence officials revealed to the Washington Post they believe North Korea is trying to conceal nuclear weapons from the US. While news of his satellite site spread, Kim Jong Un appeared to enjoy himself on a trip to a nursery in Kangwon Province this week. Wearing a sun hat, white shirt and grey trousers, he can been seen smiling as he walks through a greenhouse. In another picture Kim Jong Un looks deep in thought as somebody explains the large orange silo bins. It comes amid a claim that talks aimed at the denuclearization in North Korea hinge on the US's willingness to agree to a peace treaty with Kim. Washington may have to make a 'bold move' for a lasting peace to replace the existing armistice agreement that brought an end to hostilities in the Korean War, a source said. An official with knowledge of North Korea's position on the matter told CNN that Pyongyang may abandon talks on denuclearization if the US does not agree to such a deal. President Trump would need the backing of two-thirds of the Senate to secure a legally binding peace treaty. But Trump said on Monday he was 'very happy' with how talks were progressing. 'A Rocket has not been launched by North Korea in 9 months. Likewise, no Nuclear Tests. Japan is happy, all of Asia is happy,' Trump tweeted. 'But the Fake News is saying, without ever asking me (always anonymous sources), that I am angry because it is not going fast enough. Wrong, very happy!' Trump appeared to be referring to an article in The Washington Post on Sunday that claimed the president was frustrated with the lack of immediate progress, despite his public statements claiming the talks were a success The article cited unnamed White House aides, State Department officials and diplomats. Today, meanwhile, South Korea's defense ministry said it plans to reduce guard posts and equipment along the demilitarized zone on its border with the North, according to the Yonhap news agency. The ministry said in a report to a parliamentary committee it plans to reduce some guard post troops and equipment as a preliminary test, and would then consider expanding the reduction, in order to realize an agreement to 'transform the demilitarized zone into a peace zone' made at an inter-Korean summit in April, Yonhap said.

Another Truth Speaker Silenced After Viral Video Exposing Deep State Criminals: Purge Of Independent Voices On The Internet Indicate We Are Approaching 'The Event'

- 'Dumb And Silent We Are Led Like Sheep To The Slaughter'

By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die July 24, 2018

Just days ago, Steve Quayle linked to a video on his website from popular independent videographer SGT Report titled "The Deep State Criminals Just Went ALL IN -- THIS IS WAR" which came along with the following video description: John Brennan, James Clapper, Robert Mueller and James Comey are deep state agents rivaled only in their treachery by Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Podesa and Debbie Wasserman Schultz. As the website Shift Frequency tells us about that video, Brennan and the mockingbird mainstream media’s hysteria over Trump’s meeting with Putin illustrates that the deep state is now engaged in all out war against the President, the Constitution and the American people and that President Trump is now seeking to take away the security clearances of Brennan, Clapper, and James Comey among others speaks of clarity. And with that video going viral for several days, helping to 'awaken' even more Americans to the crimes of the corrupted faction of the deep state in America, we weren't the least bit surprised to wake up Monday morning and find that not only that video but the entire SGT Report youtube channel with their 345,000+subscribers and many viral videos has been completely taken down. In the first video below, Sean from SGTReport's back up channel that has 300,000 less subscribers talks with us about the takedown of his viral YouTube channel and warns us, the best way for the global scum to silence dissent is to TERMINATE it all together. Something they're absolutely trying to do to ANP this very moment by cutting off our revenue like they're doing to many independent media outlets, something that would absolutely guarantee ANP would no longer be online with fresh and totally original content daily. In the 2nd video below, videographer Erin T Scott talks with us about what the take down of the SGT Report youtube channel might mean with the globalists now going all-out in their attempts to censor the truth and take down President Trump. And Erin warns that the more we see such independent and alternative information outlets offering different opinions from the mainstream media being taken down, the closer we are drawing to 'the event'. And while none of us know exactly what 'the event' might be, it'll clearly be something huge that the globalists and 'enemies of America within' will want the mainstream media to 'spin', attempting to vanquish the truth that might come out through the diligent work and research of any number of different members of the independent media such as SGT Report, who picked apart all of the mainstream media's obvious narratives and various false flag events. With CNN and other globalists also attempting to get Infowars off of facebook, youtube and the internet all together, what we see unfolding across America with this 'war' upon independent media is nothing short of what former Hillary Clinton assistant director of communications Christina Reynolds once said about websites such as Breitbart: "They have no right to exist". Orwellian to the core. With the left-wing terrorist group Antifa also using violence to attempt to silence Conservatives from speaking freely proving the orwellian nature of their organization which allegedly was created to stop fascists but is clearly quite fascist in nature, should the globalists within America who hate us be successful at taking away the 1st Amendment, Americans will be quickly herded like sheep to the slaughter as George Washington warned of long ago. And as Susan Duclos reported on ANP back on July 21st, young children are being indoctrinated into radicalism with 'kiddie commie camp' teaching kids how to create Antifa flags, just the latest we've learned of radical indoctrination going on with our children and following up upon the dumbing down of kids through the common core education system and our colleges which have been turned into socialist indoctrination institutions. And while the mainstream media had a monopoly on the news industry for many decades, molding the minds of Americans into the obedient sheep they'd shaped them into, now 'big tech' comes along with all of the internet giants espousing an Orwellian ideology and like Jon Bowne reports in this new story over at Infowars, vaporizing the US Constitution. So, why would the google/youtube dictatorship take down the youtube channel of somebody such as SGT Report unless they felt that he and his videos were somehow a danger to them? Sean of SGT Report should wear the takedown of his video channel as a badge of honor, as ANP does the thousands of attacks upon our website that happen every week in attempts to take us offline. So, what are 'they' so afraid of? Going back to the viral video by Sean at SGT Report titled "The Deep State Criminals Just Went ALL IN -- THIS IS WAR" which was one of the last videos that he put out before his channel was 'terminated', it's clear that there is little that the corrupted faction of the deep state and the entire Democratic party want to happen less here in America than a 'mass awakening' that will make those still trusting them 'run away' from their party as fast as their legs will carry them. With the corrupt faction of the deep state now in an uproar over President Trump's threats to take away the security clearances of Brennan, Clapper, Comey, McCabe and Susan Rice and more truth emerging every day on the 'real Russian collusion', we'll agree with what our videographer says in the 2nd video below: An event is likely drawing near that may change the present course of history and the very last thing that those who really carry out 'the event' want the American people to have are people such as SGT Report 'breaking it down' for us.

Arthur Hacker was a classicist of the Victorian era.

In the spirit of "last call", top off your preps. Now. The chaos, violence and unraveling of all things financial is accelerating . The Wave of 2016 put the ruling class in emergency "take no prisoners" mode . They've taken off the mask and are determined to pull the roof down if they don't get their way . No one should be surprised. We've been under kommie kontrol longer than their beloved Soviet Union was, yet DC's credibility and legitimacy are suddenly as much in question as was the former Politboro.  A good practice is to read Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. Consider especially these two: Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have The threat is more terrifying than the thing itself They intend to be, or appear to be, one step ahead of your ability to react. Look for the news media to mislead and misinform with a torrent of "breaking news". Look for invented crisis, false flag ops, hysterical rumors and bogus outrages. Look for censorship and violence against alternative news sources . Don't get wrapped around the axle about specifics. You're not a player. Watch trends, not details.b So far it's been psyops and low-voltage street conflict. Beware. All sides are locked and loaded so when restraint gives way it could be a free fall. How far and how fast things devolve can't be known but what is known is there's no bottom. Opportunists and predators are sniffing the wind. Prepare to support and defend your family, yourself and your community. Get serious. The classic question applies: if you're not preparing for the worst, what are you preparing for? Stay away from crowds. Next

Here's some double-distilled survival advice from Aesop at his Raconteur Report website:

Get along with the people you can.

Make communities amidst those you will.

Resist those who would kill or enslave you.

Track down and kill the ones who just won't leave you alone.

Items one and two should have been happening with you long since; three and four's time is dawning. Words have turned to punching have turned to stabbing and running over and shooting, already. That won't stay one-sided, nor is the other side entirely unaware of that.

Adam, at Pushing Rubber Downhill, has a few words for those too high-minded to fully engage SJWs:

Cuckservatives have been trotting out the “not stoop to their level” line for decades now and the end result has been an almost complete victory for the left in the culture wars...

Everyone wave around their arms in the air and repeat it with me – we’re stooping to their level! No, we’re not. You don’t become your enemy by using their own tactics against them. What you do is you beat them. And defeating people is a rough, cruel and brutal process. Next

Who are the Democratic Socialists? Steve Peoples at the Associated Press explains:

The group’s constitution describes its members as socialists who “reject an economic order based on private profit” and “share a vision of a humane social order based on popular control of resources and production, economic planning, equitable distribution, feminism, racial equality and non-oppressive relationships.” Members during public meetings often refer to each other "comrades."

Socialism is a nineteenth century relic most closely allied with feminism, the only "ism" their consitution cites. Socialism is prettiest in pink. Under our current socialist regime the citizen's part is to be nice, do nice things and make nice things and share nice things fairly and nicely. Competition is selfish because everyone can't be a winner.

Picture a school marm in a rural one-room schoolhouse and you're close to the socialist's idyllic niceness. See the children being orderly, quiet, agreeable, attentive and nice. It works, as long as someone else provides the school and all the school supplies, coal for the stove, her salary, the water well, roof repairs, lamp oil and all the other annoying distractions to universal niceness those not-nice hateful people grudgingly provide under threat of a Sheriff's sale.

As for socialist "men", there are memorable descriptions we need not repeat here. As a rule, the more memorable the description, the more accurate it is. But, no need. To see one is to understand all. Next Z Man offers an explanation for the bizarre antics of the Left:

The Left has not generated a serious insight about modern society in over a generation. Their last big public policy idea was ObamaCare. Otherwise, it has been a series of bizarre gestures toward increasingly narrow fringe groups. They are the dog that caught the car. The Left has a free hand to do what they please in America and they have no idea what to do. Next The quote for this week is from Theodore Dalrymple at Taki's Magazine:

The past, our own included, is another country, and if one were to write a continuous record of one’s life, it would require almost as much research as writing the biography of someone else. Next

Reader HN declares 'Mostly Bullshit' on this article linked to in last week's Woodpile Report:

Eric Peters Autos - Chipped Tires ... embedded RFID tags collect data on when and where you drive  and offers this analysis:

Some of Eric's claims;

- passive RFID tags acquire data after they've been installed in a tire, including location data

- passive RFID tags can store acquired data

Data acquisition and storage takes energy. RFID tags don't have any energy storage capability. Of course, proving the non-existence of a passive RFID chip that could acquire data is impossible. BUT; internet search of for such a capability turns the need for expensive external equipment to modify the information stored on high-end RFID tags .

Therefore I assess Eric's article as just enough truth (presence of an RFID tag) to support an incredible infrastructure of fevered speculation.

It seems to me most likely that the RFID tags in tires are of the 'write once, read many' variety mentioned at the link above. Similar to a serial number that could be imprinted in the rubber as the tire is molded, but easier to scan at the warehouse and tire center.

Eric's call for the RFID tags to be disabled upon sale to the consumer is equivalent to demanding that any serial number the tire manufacture might have molded into the rubber on the sidewall be ground off upon sale.

Ludicrous. Totally ignores the manufacturer's interest in being to track an unexpected rash of tire failures back to time, place, processes, material used to make the failed tires. That's 'quality control 101'. and finally,

It's been that kind of year. Last week our neighbor down the road said she'd baked chocolate chip cookies and would be walking some over. Carrying aromatic food at night with all the bears around lately seemed a bit risky, so the missus insisted she drive, even though it's a short walk. A bit later she said she wouldn't be over after all. There was a bear between her front door and her car.

It's wise to be cautious of course, but standing firm and demanding "get out of here" has not yet failed to send 'em away. That's my method, a display of macho fearlessness backed up with a large caliber carbine and a ready escape.

This year, aside from a late Spring, has been great growing weather, a rolling sequence of sunny days and rain. My test plots of taters have grown like they're being pushed up from underneath. At present we have cherries, blackberries and currents in abundance.

Over many years the missus, a Master Gardener, has developed three main flower gardens. The Cottage Garden surrounds our patio and has its own walkways and arbors. The flowers mature and bloom in sequence all year, a pleasing place to be, especially of a Summer's morn. Her wildflower garden on the north end of the lot has examples of local varieties and a small frog pond with a single loud resident.

Toward the woodline is her butterfly garden, featuring nine varieties of milkweed she's collected locally. The prize is Monarchs natch, in fact it's a registered Monarch Waystation. She also maintains three bluebird houses, part of a monitored local system.

There are days I take my morning coffee on the patio amongst blooming flowers, wandering gaggles of butterflies and the occasional hummingbird. I take all of this as evidence the proper definition of a complete human being is one man and one woman. Said differently, the higher forms of wealth are unquantifiable.

Next up is trimming branches that have encroached on one leg of my shortwave antenna. My equipment was set up for me by a knowledgeable and exacting enthusiast, good stuff if not state of the art. As-is it's a listening post only but with "plug in" capabiltity for transmitting. A couple of tests by a licensed ham showed it to be more than satisfactory, as much a function of altitude as anything else, doubtless.

Change subject. People who monitor terrorist chatter say there may be something big afoot for September. This may or may not be part of President Trump's all-caps public threat to Iran.

Enough chitchat, let's get to yer ol' Woodpile Report. Yeah, it's a bit attenuated, I have to do sit-down stuff at scheduled intervals. Remus's notebook

Synopsis with links Deplorables, American Greatness - The mini-industry of deplorable/deportable sloganeering has made its way into more elite circles. With just three words, the phrase “deport the deplorables” sends two popular messages: one, get rid of undesirable American citizens who voted for Donald Trump and who were properly written off in 2016 as deplorables by Hillary Clinton. And, two, foreign nationals who crash our borders are innately superior people to citizens of the working- and middle-classes who voted for Trump. What is behind this fantasy of deporting the deplorables and welcoming in the deportable—other than displaying a cheap contempt for those who elected Trump? Weed garden, Z Man - Our political culture is not just a garden overrun with weeds. The weeds took over a long time ago and now there is nothing but weeds. It produces no men of merit. Take a look at the conspirators involved in the sedition scandal. Former CIA Director John Brennan, who helped form the conspiracy, is a former communist. He supported the Communist Party candidate in the 1976 election and it was not an act of protest. He was an actual communist. Today he is an unhinged fanatic who goes on social media demanding a military coup against the President. Again, this man was the head of the CIA under Obama. The CIA. How is this even possible?

art-remus-ident-04.jpg Z Man reader "Martelevision" comments:

"No one voted for the ruling order that’s been in place for the last several decades. In fact, every time there was a referendum on the worst aspects of our current clown world, the People responded with a resounding no.

You can certainly criticize the people of the modern West for being too complacent in the face of slow-burning tyranny, but we have used every lawful means available to try to make our voices heard. It hasn’t been enough, because our elites do not act lawfully or in good faith."

Failing, Of Two Minds - Our institutions are failing, and the cause is insider plundering and collusion, aided and abetted by a decline in transparency and accountability and the institutionalization of incompetence. Healthcare; the Big Pharma cartel; the military-industrial complex; banking; student loans; the governance-lobbying cartels; the war-on-drugs gulag, the FBI and so on in an endless profusion of insiders whose self-serving plunder and gross incompetence rarely generates consequences. Organizations within the failing institutions are loathe to surrender their gravy trains, so they resist any change, even those which might have saved the institution from its inevitable collapse.

Seven skills, Survivalist Blog - There are many skills we never needed to learn because of the technology and other services that were so prevalent. But when those services and technology disappear, many people will be lost, unprepared to survive in a world without conveniences. A bug out strategy that includes leaving home and surviving by hiding and living in the woods simply isn’t a realistic plan, but there are certain hunter-gatherer skills you should practice to ensure you’re ready to handle just about any event.

WWIII, Club Orlov - France and Germany—the countries that make up the core of the Western Imperium—are balking at US demands for increased defense spending, realizing that this is a waste of money pure and simple. Russia’s new defensive and offensive weapons systems have made most Western armaments obsolete and will preclude Western forces from operating in areas where these new weapons are deployed. The West is not only losing, but it is also being invaded—by mobs of migrants. Give it a few more decades, and at this rate the West will be no more, its slow-breeding population replaced by the much more fecund newcomers. They will come to resemble the more crowded parts of the third world.

Synopsis with links

NY Times, Spectator - Readers participate in the sacred through gestures and incantations. When you hear, “I read it in the Times,” announced with religious elation, it’s best to say nothing. The Times is a harsh goddess. When good dogs stray into the Forbidden Zone, they get the voltage from the invisible fence. They get conditioned, and they stop crossing lines no one can see, including themselves. After they figure out cause-and-effect, they simply don’t go near the Forbidden Zone. Pretty soon they cease to wonder why Times culture critics are puffing dreck art and worthless music. They don’t ask if that ultra-hot black transgender artist is fourth-rate, or if trannies might be mentally ill.

Rogue star, Daily Mail - A close shave with a rogue star careering through our solar system billions of years ago could provide an explanation for the warped orbits of several mysterious objects beyond Neptune. The stellar flyby scattered thousands of small icy worlds in our star system into strange positions and orbit, and could help to explain some unusual features of the solar system, including the unusual trajectories of dwarf planets. It also provides an explanation for the mysterious 'Planet X', which some believe resides in our system, past the dwarf-planet Pluto. The object is believed to be ten times the size of Earth.

Neighbors, Taki's Magazine - The left has seen to it that any cell-phone video of a neighborhood dispute with a black person will go viral, as long as the “aggressor” is white. Which leads to an uncomfortable question: Why would any white person want a black neighbor? Why would you want to live next door to someone who essentially has immunity from the rules, who cannot be criticized or asked to abide by the codes of conduct everyone’s supposed to follow? So congrats, leftists. You’re doing David Duke’s work for him. Whites have never been terribly keen on having black neighbors, but now you’ve made that choice seem practical rather than racist.

Selco, Organic Prepper - People usually think about bugging out like it is gonna happened just like they imagined it or planned it, while in reality, it may be completely different. Caches on your bug-out route should help you to resolve that change of plans. Not to mention that your bug-out trip may start out with you not at your home, or without all your bug out bags for another reason. One basic rule is: never cache something that you can not afford to lose. Another rule is the cache cannot be traced to me, so no, I am not caching my important papers there. Choose items that will cover your basic needs for a particular amount of time and put it in survival cache.

1942. "Somewhere in Britain"

art-remus-ident-04.jpg "German and Hungarian women work on the manufacture of Sten guns at an ordnance factory, somewhere in Britain".

The Sten gun was the sort of bare bones submachine gun one would expect from a half-prepared country at the brink of invasion: crude, easy to make and simple to use. Great Britain was such a country in 1942.

Made from forty-seven parts, only two of which were machined, some 2 million Sten Mk IIs alone—the most common type—were churned out during the war, at the rate of 20,000 per week from one factory at peak production. Final delivery was made about 1950.

The Sten fired the 9mm pistol round from a 32 round magazine at 550 rpm. It was effective to about 100 yards, but it worked best at close-in fighting, especially at night.

National ID Cards Precede Enslavement and Genocide

By Dave Hodges

“When the government fears the people there is liberty; when the people fear the government there is tyranny.” Thomas Jefferson

America is about to embark upon a perilous path, one from which there will be no return. Nearly a decade ago, many Arizona legislators recognized the dangers and tried to block this imposition of tyranny in the state. In 2009, Arizona legislators who opposed a the use of a national ID card because of the historical dangers to a population, sponsored and supported HB 2677 which tried to prevent Arizona from participating in the Real ID Card Act implementation process. Nine years later, Arizona lost its battle against the Real ID card which will soon be required to travel and following that, there is no doubt, it will be required to do business, hold a job, etc. Do the numbers 666 hold any significance for anyone? History Teaches About the Dangers of a National ID Card There can be no question that the Real ID Card is a real and present danger to every American who would be foolish enough to possess one. If the average citizen is not concerned with the soon-to-be required national ID card, then they should carefully consider the role that ID cards have played in the history of human persecutions within the 20th century. The prevalence of national ID cards should concern all persons who are mindful about preventing a future national genocide similar to what happened in Rwanda and in Nazi Germany. Nazi Germany In Nazi Germany (July 1938), only a few months before Kristallnacht (i.e., the night of the broken glass) in which Jewish businesses were targeted by the infamous “Brown Shirts” for destruction, the notorious “J-stamp” was introduced on national ID cards and then later on passports. The use of the “J-stamp” ID cards by Nazi Germany preceded the yellow Star of David badges which led to the subsequent deportation of Gypsies, Jews, homosexuals and political dissidents to the infamous Nazi death camps. In Norway, where yellow cloth badges were not introduced, the J stamped ID card was used in the identification of more than 800 Jews deported to death camps in Eastern Europe. And as this article will demonstrate, Norway is about to make the same mistake again, in 2018. “A republic, madam, if you can keep it.” Ben Franklin Police State America America has indeed been living on momentum which began with the Founding Fathers and has been perpetuated by successive generations of American people, until recently, Increasingly, the American people are witnessing the abrogation of their political rights, their economic futures and the heritage of its children. Yet, the events which would have plunged America into the throes of a bloody revolution only a couple of generations ago are met with notable indifference today. As we take stock of our American way of life this July 4th, I would ask that you pause and hear the warning of world visionaries from previous generations who successfully fought the same revolutionary battles which Americans find themselves fighting today. Most of these voices that you will hear from come to us from our own Founding Fathers and they clearly tell us what we must do to preserve our way of life. Will America Ever Awaken? At some point in time, the American masses are going to awaken from their slumber and begin to take stock of what they have lost and I am not certain the response will not be violent. The masses will angrily wonder how things changed so quickly. However, the truth is that some Americans have been warning the country about the very dangerous path that our country is on and how it is a threat to our way of life and potentially lethal to our very means of existence! Yet, the early revolutionaries of any movement are met with derision and charges that they are lunatic conspiracy theorists. Time will tell if enough Americans will heed the clarion call from those who see see real danger in our midst. Warning From Scripture We are witnessing the unfolding of Biblical prophecy before our very eyes. With the soon-to-be enforcement of the REAL ID card, where one cannot legally travel without it, ask yourself how long will it be until you will not be able to buy and sell without being marked by the federal government? How long will it be until this administration makes Christians display something like the infamous J Stamp? Yes, I know, you say that it cannot happen here and that is precisely what the Jews said in the 1930’s. I am sure they said “if you have nothing to hide, then you should not mind a national ID card”. Identification cards, in Rwanda, were the key factor in shaping, defining and perpetuating ethnic identity and subsequent ethnic cleansing. Once the 1994 genocide in Rwanda began, an ID card with the designation “Tutsi” constituted a death sentence at any checkpoint. No other factor was more significant in facilitating the speed and carnage of the 100 days of mass killing in Rwanda. The Real ID national identity card must contain “physical security features designed to prevent tampering, counterfeiting, or duplication of the document for fraudulent purposes.” This provision potentially opens the door to some very frightening set of additional requirements, such as a fingerprint or retinal scans. What the Homeland Security provisions will entail for the ID card is unknown at this time. What is known is that Homeland Security has essentially been given a blank check to enact some very draconian security and enforcement procedures. Of course, the discussion of this bill was held in the full view of the public, correct? Well, not exactly. The bill was passed as a rider on a military appropriations bill with very little fanfare or media coverage. Proponents of the Real ID Card Act state that such a citizen identification measure is needed to protect us from terrorist incursions which ostensibly threaten our safety and well-being. Recent polls suggest that as many as 65% of all Americans have not heard of the Real ID Card Act. Presumably, even a higher percentage of Americans fail to understand the provisions of the act. And even fewer understand what this law could potentially mean to the loss of civil liberties. If this act is so good for America, why haven’t more Americans heard of it? Why wasn’t this act a clearly delineated topic for constitutional/legal debate held in the full view of the mainstream American press? At an anticipated cost of the billion dollars it is going to take to implement! Individual driver’s licenses will be reissued in order to fully meet federal standards. At a minimum, the cards will contain your name, birth date, gender, a National ID number, a digital photograph, address, and a common machine-readable technology that Homeland Security will decide upon at some future date. However, the Department of Homeland Security is given the final say as to what may appear on your national ID card. This type of discretion opens a Pandora’s Box as to the specific categorizations which characterized Nazi Germany and Rwanda ID cards. And the fact that DHS is in charge of the ID process violates the 10th Amendment.  Can one imagine if the new extremist forces of the Democratic Party, Ocasio-Cortez or Kevin De Leon (soon-t0-be Dianne Feinstein’s replacement), had access to this Orwellian technology, after being elected to Congress? The end game is tyranny. However, do we really want to open this door for a future despot? This is precisely why we have a constitution and why the preservation of the separation of powers was so important to the founding fathers. Do not let Washington violate the tenants of federalism and intimidate you with the loss of federal funds for failing to comply with their unconstitutional mandates. Let Washington keep their highway funds. Let the federal government keep us off airplanes, out of banks and out of federal buildings. When the country is paralyzed because we will not submit to this tyranny, the supporters of the Real ID Card will be swept from office with the force of a mega tsunami. At the very least, legislation creating an identity card should have been carefully defined and should have limited the persons who would have access to such information and provide means of segregating information that unauthorized persons would not need to see. The Real ID Card Act does not provide these protections to American citizens. Even if access were carefully circumscribed, computer databases could still be vulnerable to hackers. Harvard educated, Dr. Katherine Albrecht, very carefully details how a national ID card could lead to an unprecedented wave of identity theft through a hacker’s ability to scan the chip and download your personal information (so much for the argument that this will create a tamper-proof identity card which will greatly aid in the fight against illegal immigration). And don’t forget the provision of this act which allows Homeland Security to enact any measures to “prevent tampering, counterfeiting, or duplication of the document for fraudulent purposes”. How will Homeland Security respond to the threat of identity theft? Will Americans be forced to accept an implanted RFID chip in our hands or foreheads? On this point, I wish I could say that I am being factitious. Benjamin Franklin once said, “They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” After all, if the first casualty on the war on terror is the constitution, then we have already lost the war. The Common Sense Show says, “What sense does it make to embrace a National ID card for national security reasons, when we will not even secure our borders against the likes of MS-13 and ISIS”? But do not worry, tagging the population, before bagging the population is a global phenomenon. The national identification cards, are going to be ready by 2020. No, I am not just talking about America, this is Norway, where the Norwegian government is spending 700 million Kroner to complete this piece of the police state surveillance grid. Do think ID cards, as bad as they are, will constitute the end of this system of tyranny? The state of New York is using facial recognition cameras to identify drivers and passengers at toll booths. A recent article in the New York Post revealed that toll booths use facial recognition to identify everyone. “We are now moving to facial-recognition technology, which takes it to a whole new level, where it can see the face of the person in the car and run that technology against databases,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. There is one question that I would like to leave all readers with: Are you a Tutsi or a Jew? Revelations 13:17 16 And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, 17 so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark of the beast or the number of its name. 18 Here is a call for wisdom: Let the one who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and that number is 666.…

Social Media Godzilla Vaporizing The Constitution

Internet giants don’t care about freedom

Jon Bowne | Infowars.com - July 23, 2018

Alex Jones re-examines the ongoing Orwellian war being waged on language by Google, Facebook and Twitter. This attack on the First Amendment is growing to Godzillaesque proportions and must be dealt with swiftly by all three branches of the United States Government before our freedoms are altered forever.

'The Crazies Were Right, And I Was Wrong': Former Federal Prosecutor Speaks Of 'Rogue' FBI & FISA Court Abuses

July 23, 2018 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

Former Federal Prosecutor Andrew McCarthy, while being critical of many aspects of the special counsel probe into Russian collusion with the Trump campaign, had long maintained that the FISA warrants obtained by the FBI/DOJ, were applied for and granted properly, until the controversial Nunes' memo regarding FISA abuses was release, and later confirmed by the Senate Judiciary Commitees Grassley-Graham memo back in February 2018. At the time McCarthy wrote the following: With its verification by the Grassley-Graham memo, the Nunes memo now has about a thousand times more corroboration than the Steele dossier, the basis of the heinous allegations used by the Justice Department and FBI to get the FISA warrants. What the Grassley-Graham memo tells us is that the Nunes memo, for all the hysteria about it, was tame. The Grassley-Graham memo tells us that we need not only a full-blown investigation of what possessed the Obama administration to submit such shoddy applications to the FISA court, but of how a judge — or perhaps as many as four judges — rationalized signing the warrants. We need full disclosure — the warrants, the applications, the court proceedings. No more games. On Saturday, July 21, 2018, McCarthy partially got his wish. The FBI/DOJ dumped 412 pages of documents related to the FISA surveillance warrants for Carter Page, including the applications, the certifications, and the warrants themselves. (The 412 page release is embedded at the bottom of this article) I say McCarthy only partially got his wish because the disclosure wasn't full, and the heavy handed redactions mean the FBI/DOJ is still playing games, but the copious amount of information that was revealed was enough for McCarthy to finally admit the FBI, under Obama, went "rogue," by breaking with all protocols in order to manufacture the great "Witch Hunt," which is what President Trump has dubbed the special counsel investigation into collusion. After having gone through the documents, McCarthy joined Fox & Friends to offer a verbal mea culpa, saying "I'm really embarrassed because I told people for months that this could never, ever happen." He explains in the short clip below. On July 23, expanding on his interview, McCarthy offered his full analysis in a piece titled "FISA Applications Confirm: The FBI Relied on the Unverified Steele Dossier," where he explains what a proper verification process requires, finding the FBI did not, or could not, verify the Steele dossier, and misled the FISA court by claiming they had verified the information used in their application. McCarthy then addresses his critics that are still trying to justify the FBI tactics by claiming the redacted information may show the FBI did corroborate Steele's information. He highlights not only the Grassley-Graham declassified memo, but he also points out that former FBI Director James Comey had also testified in from of Congress by admitting the Steele dossier was "salacious and unverified." Further proving his point, he reminds readers that "the FBI’s former deputy director, Andrew McCabe, told Congress that the bureau tried very hard to verify Steele’s information but could provide no points of verification beyond the fact that Page did travel to Russia in July 2016 — a fact that required no effort to corroborate since the trip was unconcealed and widely known." 'THE CRAZIES WERE RIGHT' As part of the bullet point "The FISA Judges," McCarthy stands by his assertion that the "newly disclosed FISA applications are so shoddy that the judges who approved them ought to be asked some hard questions," despite catching flak for it, in his words, and he explains that he long believed there were so many fail-safes within the system, a system he has intimate knowledge of, there should have been no way the FBI/DOJ could have gotten away with this and even if the corruption was that widespread, no FISA judge should have allowed it. I prefaced my remark about the judges with an acknowledgment of my own personal embarrassment. When people started theorizing that the FBI had presented the Steele dossier to the FISA court as evidence, I told them they were crazy: The FBI, which I can’t help thinking of as my FBI after 20 years of working closely with the bureau as a federal prosecutor, would never take an unverified screed and present it to a court as evidence. I explained that if the bureau believed the information in a document like the dossier, it would pick out the seven or eight most critical facts and scrub them as only the FBI can — interview the relevant witnesses, grab the documents, scrutinize the records, connect the dots. Whatever application eventually got filed in the FISA court would not even allude en passant to Christopher Steele or his dossier. The FBI would go to the FISA court only with independent evidence corroborated through standard FBI rigor. Should I have assumed I could be wrong about that? Sure, even great institutions go rogue now and again. But even with that in mind, I would still have told the conspiracy theorists they were crazy — because in the unlikely event the FBI ever went off the reservation, the Justice Department would not permit the submission to the FISA court of uncorroborated allegations; and even if that fail-safe broke down, a court would not approve such a warrant. It turns out, however, that the crazies were right and I was wrong. The FBI (and, I’m even more sad to say, my Justice Department) brought the FISA court the Steele-dossier allegations, relying on Steele’s credibility without verifying his information. I am embarrassed by this not just because I assured people it could not have happened, and not just because it is so beneath the bureau — especially in a politically fraught case in which the brass green-lighted the investigation of a presidential campaign. I am embarrassed because what happened here flouts rudimentary investigative standards. Any trained FBI agent would know that even the best FBI agent in the country could not get a warrant based on his own stellar reputation. A fortiori, you would never seek a warrant based solely on the reputation of Christopher Steele — a non-American former intelligence agent who had political and financial incentives to undermine Donald Trump. It is always, always necessary to persuade the court that the actual sources of information allegedly amounting to probable cause are believable. While the Nunes' and the Grassley-Graham memos could be waved away as "partisan," bodies of work, McCarthy's analysis stands out for a number of reasons. 1.) McCarthy has the knowledge and experience to be an expert in the legal field, as well as to the proper procedures used to obtain warrants, and he assures readers that had he ever attempted to obtain a warrant in the manner the FBI/DOJ did with the Carter Page application, "just about any federal judge in the Southern District of New York would have knocked my block off — and rightly so." 2.) McCarthy has long defended the process, and the fail-safes in place to prevent this type of FISA abuse, and as he stated in the quoted portion of his article above, anyone that dared suggest the FBI would have presented the Steele dossier as "evidence" without independently verifying the evidence, he used to call "crazy." 3) McCarthy writes for National Review, one of the first "NeverTrump" publications, so he is clearly not a Trump fan or supporter, and has no reason to side with Trump over the FBI/DOJ, and in fact, was hoping that these documents would somehow exonerate these institutions. Judicial Watch, who has been relentless in fighting the FBI/DOJ in court with FOIA requests to obtain these documents, are now calling on President Trump to declassify these redacted materials so the public can see everything. As per their statement: These documents are heavily redacted but seem to confirm the FBI and DOJ misled the courts in withholding the material information that Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the DNC were behind the “intelligence” used to persuade the courts to approve the FISA warrants that targeted the Trump team. Given this corruption, President Trump should intervene and declassify the heavily redacted material. Note: It is very important to remember that while the initial FISA warrant, and the subsequent renewals every 90 days, was granted under the guise, as written in the applications, that Carter Page was "an agent of foreign power, claiming he "collaborated and conspired" with Russia, Page has not been charged with anything to date. BOTTOM LINE With the release of these heavily redacted documents, we see that once again, those of us that were called partisan "conspiracy theorists" for believing the FBI and DOJ would lie to the FISA court judges in order to manufacture a bogus investigation into the Trump campaign, after the Nunes' memo was released which detailed these FISA abuses, have just been proven right. The FBI did go rogue. The FBI/DOJ did lie to the FISA court judges. President Trump is correct, the entire special counsel investigation is a "witch hunt," and one huge hoax, that has costs American taxpayers tens of millions of dollars already. Below another former United States Attorney, Joseph diGenova, weighs in. I found his comments regarding his communication with Andrew McCarthy to be interesting, as he indicates McCarthy was heavily criticized for his honest assessment of these documents and what they mean.

IDF strikes Gaza terror cell for second time in 24-hours

By Tovah Lazaroff July 23, 2018 16:39

The IDF struck a Gaza terror cell Monday for the second time in 24 hours as Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman warned Hamas that Israel was not afraid to go to war. Last night, the air force also hit a cell that had launched flaming kites and balloons into the South. On Saturday, as part of an Egypt-brokered understanding, Hamas agreed to halt its violent attacks against Israel, which has included rockets, mortars, flaming kites and balloons. There have also been repeated infiltration attempts and violent riots at the Gaza-Israel border. On Friday, a Palestinian sniper killed an Israeli soldier at the border fence. For the last three days, however, Hamas has not executed an attack against Israel. Liberman has said he will rescind the severe restrictions he has imposed on Gaza’s main commercial crossing at Kerem Shalom by Tuesday as long as Hamas continues to hold its fire. But on Monday night, he said he would wait until Tuesday before announcing whether he plans to rescind his ban on commercial goods, food and fuel. Earlier in the day he met with members of the IDF’s general staff to discuss the border violence. “Regarding the Gaza Strip, we must ask ourselves four basic questions: Is the State of Israel interested in a war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip? The answer is no. Are we deterred from [engaging in a military] campaign in the Gaza Strip? Here too, the answer is no,” Liberman said. “Are we prepared to accept a reality in which there is fire, incendiary kites and friction along the fence? The answer is no. Have we done everything we can to prevent a war in Gaza? The answer is yes,” Liberman said. “So everything that happens from here on in with regard to the Gaza Strip is solely the responsibility of the Hamas leadership.” The UN’s special envoy to the peace process, Nickolay Mladenov, held a flurry of diplomatic meetings on Monday in an effort to advance an economic and rehabilitation plan for Gaza, which also includes the reconciliation of the rival Hamas and Fatah factions. In Ramallah he met with Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah and representatives from the European Union, World Bank and Norway. The diplomats discussed a way to provide financial support for Gaza, halting violence and support for Hamas and Fatah reconciliation efforts. They also met last week in Oslo. In Jerusalem Mladenov met in the afternoon with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and earlier in the day he spoke with Education Minister Naftali Bennett, who is a member of the security cabinet. Mladenov tweeted a photo of his meeting with Bennett with the following statement: “Very constructive meeting with Minister of Education @naftalibennett. #Israeli communities in the South and #Palestinians in #Gaza have lived long enough in fear. We need to resolve all #humanitarian issues, support #UN & #Egyptian efforts and step back from the brink,. Bennett retweeted Mladenov’s words and added: “Productive meeting with @nmladenov. Working to restore calm in Gaza front. Round of violence will serve nobody.” But he also commented on the violence on both of Israel’s borders, warning that Iran was trying to drag Israel into a war in the North and the South. Tehran is responsible for the violence on the Gaza, Lebanese and Syrian borders, he said. “Iran’s goal is to simultaneously entangle Israel on many fronts,” Bennett tweeted after his meeting with Mladenov. “My opinion is that Iran is stirring trouble to alleviate multiple pressures. Israel should avoid dual Iranian-driven fronts. Ground op in Gaza only as very last resort.” There is no justification for endangering soldiers in a Gaza ground operation until all other options have been exhausted, said Bennett. He explained that this included both other military economic and civilian options, but he did not elaborate. Mladenov also plans to brief the UN Security Council in New York on Tuesday about events on the Gaza border, during its monthly meeting on the Middle East. UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein said “Efforts by Egypt and the UN have put in place a cease-fire, but the situation remains extremely fragile. I urge the parties and all those with influence to do their utmost to avoid another round of violence and misery.”

Lieberman to Gaza residents: Put pressure on Hamas

In his visit to the Kerem Shalom crossing, the defense minister says that the key to opening the border crossing is civilian pressure on Hamas leadership; 'The key is calm, zero incendiary balloons, zero friction of the fence, zero rockets, or god forbid, shootings.'

Yoav Zitun|Last update: 07.22.18 , 19:09

After a situation assessment in the Kerem Shalom border crossing, Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman addressed the Palestinians on Sunday, and said the key to opening the border to transfers of goods is the continued quiet in the region. Lieberman said that Saturday was the area's most quiet day since March 30th. Lieberman stressed Hamas's responsibility for recent events, and conditioned the opening of the crossing on "zero incendiary balloons, zero friction on the fence, zero rockets." The minister explained: "We have completed a situation assessment regarding the passage of goods in Kerem Shalom, and the residents of Gaza must understand that as long as incendiary balloons keep landing on our side and causing fires, on both sides of the fence, life will not go back to normal," Lieberman said. "My message to the residents of Gaza is — take responsibility, the key, among others, is pressure. You, Gaza residents, will put pressure on teh Hamas leadership. If Saturday's quiet continues, then life will return to normal the day after tomorrow. But the key is quiet, calm, zero incendiary balloons, zero friction of the fence, zero rockets, or god forbid, shootings. Let's hope the next couple of days will be calm," Lieberman asserted. Lieberman added that "despite the complicated situation, and the fires we have seen on our side, the transfer of food and medicines to Gaza continues. We cannot do more, and as I said, the exports of goods, agriculture, textiles, and all these things will resume once the quiet in our side of the fence continues. No balloons, no kites and no provocations," the minister said. "At the moment, there is no intention of bringing Palestinian workers to Israel. We are far from it, and as I said, it all depends on the other side," Lieberman concluded. Lieberman, who was accompanied by Israel's Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories Maj. Gen. Kamil Abu Rokon, also noted that 140 trucks go through the crossing per day. "The maximum was about 1,000 trucks a day, so that's all the difference and everyone on the other side will do his calculations," Lieberman stated. After a ceasefire was reached with Hamas following serious escalations on the Gaza border, a senior political source said on Saturday that "Hamas has suffered a hard blow, and asked for a ceasefire through Egypt, while committing to stop the fire terrorism and terrorism on the fence. We have the Egyptians' guarantee." "In any case," the source added, "the actions on the ground will determine the next move, and if Hamas violates this, he will pay an even heavier price." The Home Front Command announced on Saturday that life is returning to normal in all the communities surrounding the Gaza Strip. The southern Zikim Beach reopened to the public. The IDF announcement made it clear that "there are no special restrictions on the home front." However, shortly after that, the IDF attacked a Hamas position in the northern Gaza Strip. The IDF Spokesperson's said that the attack was a response to the infiltration of several Palestinians suspects who crossed the border fence. It was reported that the suspects had returned to the Gaza Strip. First published: 07.22.18, 18:33

Israel Helps Rescue Humanitarian Workers From Syria

Sunday, July 22, 2018 | Israel Today Staff

Israel at the weekend played a critical role in rescuing hundreds of humanitarian workers and their families trapped in southern Syria. Eight hundred so-called "White Helmets" and their family members had taken refuge in Quneitra, the one small part of southern Syria not already under the control of Russian-backed regime forces. The White Helmets are mostly Syrian nationals who over the past several years have taken it upon themselves to conduct rescue operations following major military confrontations in the war-torn country. They operate mostly in rebel-held territory where nearly all civil services have collapsed. But, that's resulted in them being identified with opposition forces, and therefore a target for the Syrian army. The US, UK, Germany and Canada had all been aiding the White Helmets logistically in recent months. As it became clear that the forces of dictator Bashar Assad would reconquer the south of Syria, those same nations lobbied Israel and Jordan to help get them out, with the promise that the White Helmets and their families could then take up residence in the West. Over the weekend, a convoy of buses carrying the White Helmets streamed into northern Israel under cover of darkness. They were then escorted by Israeli and UN forces to a border crossing into Jordan. Israelis involved in the rescue operation told Hadashot news that it was one of the most emotional efforts to help Syria to date. "There were lots of children," said one Israeli. German media covered the evacuation more closely, with one reporter posting a short video clip of the Syrian buses being met and escorted by Israeli forces:

Trump warns Iran's president in all-caps tweet to stop threatening U.S.

CBS/AP July 23, 2018, 8:24 AM Last Updated Jul 23, 2018 5:20 AM EDT

WASHINGTON -- President Trump warned Iranian President Hassan Rouhani early Monday that he will face dire consequences for threatening the United States. Mr. Trump tweeted in all capital letters about the dangers to Iran of making hostile threats after Rouhani said Sunday, "American must understand well that peace with Iran is the mother of all peace and war with Iran is the mother of all wars." Within hours, Iranian state-owned news agency IRNA dismissed Mr. Trump's tweet, describing it as a "passive reaction" to Rouhani's remarks. The agency, a government mouthpiece, also said Monday that Mr. Trump's comment was only mimicking and copying Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, who had in the past warned the West to "never threaten an Iranian." Mr. Trump earlier this year pulled the United States out of the international deal meant to prevent Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon and ordered increased American sanctions. Rouhani had warned Mr. Trump Sunday to stop "playing with the lion's tail" and threatening Iran, "or else you will regret it." Mr. Trump has suggested Iranian leaders are "going to call me and say 'let's make a deal'" but Iran has rejected talks. Rouhani has previously lashed out against Mr. Trump for threatening to re-impose the sanctions, as well as for moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem and banning travel to the U.S. from certain Muslim-majority countries. Mr. Trump's early Monday tweet suggested he has little patience with the trading of hostile messages with Iran. Mr. Trump has a history of firing off heated tweets that seem to quickly escalate long-standing disputes with leaders of nations at odds with the U.S. In the case of North Korea, the public war of words cooled quickly and gradually led to the high profile summit and denuclearization talks. Of the tweet by Mr. Trump, the Reuters news service says, "The escalation in rhetoric came as the Trump administration has launched an offensive of speeches and online communications meant to foment unrest and help pressure Iran to end its nuclear program and its support of militant groups, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter." In California Sunday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was strongly critical of Tehran. He called the religious leaders of Iran "hypocritical holy men" who amassed vast sums of wealth while allowing their people to suffer, part of a highly critical broadside issued as the republic approached the 40th anniversary of its Islamic revolution and the U.S. prepared to reimpose the economic sanctions. In a speech at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum, Pompeo castigated Iran's political, judicial and military leaders, too, accusing several by name of participating in widespread corruption. He also said the government has "heartlessly repressed its own people's human rights, dignity and fundamental freedoms." He said despite poor treatment by their leaders, "the proud Iranian people are not staying silent about their government's many abuses." "And the United States under President Trump will not stay silent either. In light of these protests and 40 years of regime tyranny, I have a message for the people of Iran: The United States hears you," he said. "The United States supports you. The United States is with you." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised Mr. Trump for his "strong stance" on Iran. Netanyahu said Mr. Trump and his secretary of state were taking a clear position against "Iranian aggression" after years in which the "regime was pampered by world powers." The Israeli prime minister spoke at his weekly Cabinet meeting Monday, after Mr. Trump's tweet. White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters on Monday that the president was responding to Iran and that he's "not going to allow them to continue to make threats against America. If anybody is inciting anything look no further than to Iran." Asked if he had consulted with this national security team before tweeting the edict, Sanders said that the president consults with his national security team "on a daily basis." National security adviser John Bolton said in a statement on Monday that he had spoken to Mr. Trump over the last several days, "and President Trump told me that if Iran does anything at all to the negative, they will pay a price like few countries have ever paid before." A high-ranking Iranian officer says Mr. Trump's Monday warning was nothing but "psychological warfare." Gen. Gholam Hossein Gheibparvar, the chief of the paramilitary Revolutionary Guard's volunteer Basij force, also said Monday that Mr. Trump "won't dare" take any military action against Iran. Gheibparvar's comments were reported by the semi-official ISNA news agency. Iranian lawmaker Heshmatollah Falahatpisheh told The Associated Press he doubted it would come to a military confrontation between Iran and the United States, despite the escalating rhetoric. Falahatpisheh says Mr. Trump and his Iranian counterpart "express themselves through speeches since diplomatic channels are closed" as the two countries haven't had diplomatic relations since 1979. He says that unlike North Korea, "Iran never moved toward a nuclear bomb" and that therefore, "Iran is angry since Trump responded to Tehran's engagement diplomacy by pulling the U.S. out of the nuclear deal."

Japan records highest temperature ever; heat wave has killed 50

Associated Press By Mari Yamaguchi and Hyung-Jin Kim

Japan recorded its highest temperature ever Monday as a deadly heat wave continued to grip a wide swath of the country and nearby South and North Korea. The mercury hit 41.1 degrees Celsius (106 degrees Fahrenheit) in Kumagaya, a city in Saitama prefecture about 40 miles northwest of Tokyo, the Japan Meteorological Agency said. That broke the previous record of 41.0 C in Ekawasaki on the island of Shikoku on Aug. 12, 2013. Two lingering high pressure systems have trapped warm and humid air above the region, bringing record-high temperatures for nearly two weeks. More than 40 people have died in Japan and about 10 in South Korea. "It is so hot these days that I cannot figure out whether I am in (South Korea) or in Southeast Asia," said Kim Sung-hee, a student in downtown Seoul, where the temperature rose to 35.7 C (96 F). Ten people have died in South Korea of heatstroke and other heat-related causes this summer, seven of them last week, the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Monday. About 1,040 people have fallen ill because of hot weather from May 20 to July 21, an increase of 61 percent over the same period last year, it said. South Korea's highest-ever morning low was recorded in the city of Gangneung, where the temperature was 31 C (88 F) at 6:45 a.m. The morning low in Seoul was 29.2 C (84.6 F), a record for the country's capital, according to South Korea's weather agency. The mercury hit 39.9 C (103.8 F) in the southeastern town of Hayang, the highest temperature in the country so far this year. In North Korea, residents fanned themselves on crowded trolleys or protected themselves from the sun with brightly colored parasols as temperatures in Pyongyang, the capital, reached 34 C (93.2 F). Weather reports said higher temperatures were recorded on the country's eastern coast. Thousands of people in Japan have been rushed to hospitals with heat stroke symptoms during the heat wave. Kyodo News agency has tallied more than 40 deaths. Many of the victims have been elderly people who were not using air conditioning. On Monday, nine people died from heat-related causes across Japan, Kyodo said. NHK national television tallied seven deaths. The temperature reached 39 C (102 F) on Monday in central Tokyo, the highest temperature this year. The worst of the heat wave is expected to be over this week. Tourists in Tokyo's historic Asakusa district struggled with the heat. Cosett Romero from Mexico said she and her family were getting headaches. "It's difficult to us because we don't have this heat in Mexico," she said. Authorities warned people to stay inside and use air conditioning. "The weather recently in Tokyo and across Japan is like being in a sauna," Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike said at a news conference that highlighted the 2020 Summer Olympics, which open in Tokyo two years from Tuesday. Tokyo's postwar high temperature in August averages 31.5 C (88.7 F). That is about the same as the average high during the August 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, but exceeds those of the past three August Olympics: 30.6 C (87.0 F) during Beijing 2008, 23.5 C (74.3 F) in London 2012 and 26.3 C (79.3 F) in Rio de Janeiro, according to meteorological agency statistics. Koike said the city has been working to address heat concerns for both spectators and athletes. The marathon and some other outdoor Olympic events will start early in the morning. Other steps include developing road pavement that emits less surface heat, setting up mist sprays and planting tall roadside trees. Koike also cited traditional ways of cooling in Japan, such as hanging straw screens and spraying water on road surfaces. "But our traditional wisdom is not enough to beat the heat like this," she acknowledged, "so we will be using cutting-edge technology." Kim reported from Seoul, South Korea. Associated Press writer Eric Talmadge in Pyongyang, North Korea, and videojournalists Nicola Shannon in Tokyo and Yong-ho Kim in Seoul contributed to this report.

Israel downs Syrian fighter jet with Patriot missiles

The last time a Syrian jet was downed by Israel was in 2014.

By Anna Ahronheim July 24, 2018 14:22

Israel’s military downed a Syrian fighter jet that entered the northern part of the country on Tuesday afternoon. The Syrian Sukhoi 22 fighter jet was intercepted by two Patriot missiles launched from Safed after the jet penetrated 2 kilometers into Israeli airspace. One pilot confirmed to have been killed was identified Colonel Umran Mare of Tartous, the second pilot is believed to have bailed out of the aircraft and is still missing. According to the IDF Spokesperson Brig.-Gen. Ronen Manelis the plane took off from Syria’s T4 Airbase in Homs and flew “at great speed” towards Israel before being shot down and falling in the southern part of Syria’s Golan Heights. Manelis said that Israel had monitored the plane and that warnings were given in a number of languages and on several different channels against infiltrating into Israel before it was shot down. The IDF had been in contact with the Russians during the incident. Israel has no interest in getting involved in the Syrian Civil War, he continued, stressing nonetheless that “we are prepared for any developments.” The IDF “will not tolerate violations of the 1974 separation of forces agreement between Israel and Syria,” he said, referring to the U.N. Disengagement and Observer Force which monitors a 1974 Israeli-Syrian accord in the Golan Heights, adding that Israel holds the Syrian regime accountable for the actions carried out in its territory. The United Nations Middle East envoy Nickolay Mladenov warned the UN Security Council following the downing of the jet that there has been "a disturbing trajectory of increasingly frequent and dangerous confrontations" between Israel and Syria and called on all parties to abide by the 1974 agreement “and support the role of UNDOF in that regard.” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the downing was a response to a "gross violation of the 1974 separation agreements between Israel and Syria." "Our air defense systems identified a Syrian Air Force plane, taking off from the Syrian air base T-4 and penetrating Israel. This is a gross violation of the 1974 separation agreements between Israel and Syria. I made it clear that we would not accept any such violation, we would not get any intrusion into our territory, either from the ground or from the air," he said in a statement. "Our forces acted accordingly. We insist that Syria strictly respect the separation agreements between us and them." Israel's Minister of Construction and Housing, Yoav Gallant (Kulanu) said the downing sent a clear message to the region's "axis of evil." "The downing of the Syrian plane is an important signal to the axis of evil-- Iran, Syria and Hezbollah, that violating Israel's sovereignty is crossing a red line," Gallant said. Syria has confirmed that the plane, which was partaking in an offensive against Islamic State group fighters in the Yarmouk basin, was downed by Israel but denied that it crossed into Israeli airspace. “The Israeli enemy confirms its support for the armed terrorist groups and targets one of our warplanes, which was striking their groups in the area of Saida on the edge of the Yarmouk Valley in Syrian airspace,” a Syrian military official was quoted as saying by the state news agency SANA. Sky News Arabic reported that the plane fell in the area of the Yarmuk basin, a triangular border area between Syria, Israel and Jordan where there is intense fighting against the Islamic State group. The last time Israel shot down a Syrian jet by a Patriot missile was in 2014 after it penetrated 800 meters (2,600 feet) into Israeli air space. The crew managed to bail out of the plane that landed in Syrian territory. Incoming rocket alert sirens blared throughout northern Israel around 1.30PM in the Golan Regional Council, Jordan Valley and in the city of Katzrin. In recent weeks Syrian government forces, backed by Russian air-power, have been retaking large swathes of territory on the Syrian Golan Heights from rebel groups along the Israeli border. Iranian forces and affiliated Shiite militias are also said to be playing a minor role in the offensive. “We have seen an increase in the intensity of the internal fighting in Syria including aerial activity in recent weeks as part of the Syrian regime’s offensive to reoccupy the Syrian Golan Heights,” Manelis said. It was the second-such incident of interceptors being fired in two days opposite Syrian areas where Damascus's forces have been routing rebels On Monday Israel used its David Sling interceptor system for the first time, launching two missiles against two SS-21 Tochka tactical ballistic missiles launched from Syria. When the system determined that neither would hit Israeli territory, one of the interceptor missiles was ordered to self-destruct over Israel’s southern Golan Heights. The second David Sling interceptor missile meanwhile fell inside Syria without intercepting the second SS-21.

Syrian report: Israel attacks in northwest Syria

Israeli fighter jets attack in Syria, as reported by Syrian news agency SANA, with scientific research centers being the targets; Syrian military source says 'only damage to property was caused'; however, opposition members say Iran's Revolutionary Guards as well as Hezbollah's members were killed in the strike.

The Syrian news agency SANA reported Sunday evening that an Israeli air strike had hit a military post in the city of Misyaf in Syria's Hama province but caused only material damage. According to Lebanese media, the strike was executed from Lebanon's territory. The Hezbollah-affiliated Al Mayadeen network reported that the alleged targets were scientific research centers for chemical arms production. The newsflash did not elaborate on what exactly had been targeted. An intelligence source said a major military research center for chemical arms production was located near the city. A Syrian military source said that "one of the military sites near Misyaf was attacked by the Israeli Air Force (IAF)," according to the SANA news agency. The source added that only damage to property was caused, and no casualties were immediately reported. However, Syrian opposition members reported that Iran's Revolutionary Guards as well as Hezbollah's members were killed in the alleged the strike. Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that "loud explosions" were heard in the Misyaf area. According to Syrian reports four Israeli fighter jets took part in the attack, with three missiles being intercepted by Syria's airspace defense system. Last September, both Syrian and Lebanese media reported that a strike had taken place near the Syrian Scientific Studies and Research Center (CERS), with some of its S-60 missiles being transferred to Hezbollah. CERS weapons program includes the development of the S-60 in preparation for transfer to the Shi'ite terror organization. The center relies on scientific knowledge provided by North Korea and Iran. Last week, Syrian state media said Israeli rockets had struck a Syrian military position near Nairab airport on the outskirts of the city of Aleppo. Israel, concerned that Iran's growing presence in Syria poses a threat to its security, has escalated in recent months its strikes on suspected Iranian and Iran-backed positions in Syria. Iran is a key ally of Syrian President Bashar Assad and supports a number of militias, including Lebanon's Hezbollah, who have thousands of fighters joining battles in support of his rule. The reports come merely hours after the IDF completed overnight Saturday an operation to rescue 422 Syrian civil defense activists, along with their families, from a war zone area in southern Syria, the German newspaper Bild reported on Sunday. It was the first such Israeli intervention in Syria's lengthy civil war, now in its eight year. According to the report, the rescued activists belong to the White Helmets, officially known as Syria Civil Defence, which is a volunteer organization that operates in parts of rebel-controlled segments of the country and which works to rescue and assist civilians caught in war zones.

Israel Aids Evacuation From Syria of Hundreds of ‘White Helmets’ and Families

By Ben Hubbard July 22, 2018

BEIRUT, Lebanon — Israel has facilitated the evacuation of hundreds of rescue workers, known as the White Helmets, and their families from an embattled pocket of southern Syria, helping them to travel through Israeli-held territory to reach Jordan, Israeli and Jordanian officials said on Sunday. The move in a part of Syria where pro-government forces are advancing followed a push by Western countries including the United States to protect members of the White Helmets, volunteer emergency workers who rush to the scene of airstrikes in civilian areas. The Israeli Army said in a statement on Sunday that the United States and European countries had asked for help with the evacuation of the civilians “due to an immediate threat to their lives.” A Foreign Ministry spokesman in Jordan, Mohammad al-Kayed, said that his country had authorized the United Nations to facilitate the entry of hundreds of Syrians to Jordan after Britain, Germany and Canada had made a “legally binding undertaking to resettle them within a specified period of time due to a risk to their lives.” Ayman Safadi, Jordan’s foreign minister, said on Twitter on Sunday that the original request had been for 800 Syrians, but that the final number who made the trip was 422. The evacuation came as Syrian government forces, which are supported by Russia and Iran, have been sweeping through a swath of territory along Syria’s southern border with Jordan, seizing areas that have long been held by Western-backed rebels seeking to oust President Bashar al-Assad of Syria. Seven years into the war, Mr. Assad has taken back the country’s center and is reasserting his control of its largest population centers. But large parts of the country remain out of his hands, held by rebels, Turkey or Kurdish forces backed by the United States. As the lines dividing those zones have solidified, large numbers of people living in them have been moved, further exacerbating the crisis that has displaced more than half of Syria’s population. In addition to the evacuation of the White Helmets, hundreds of rebels and their families were bused from southern Syria to the rebel-held north because they did not want to live under Syrian government control. And last week, thousands of members of Syria’s Shiite minority were removed from two besieged villages in the country’s north, emptying them out. The evacuation of the White Helmets came near the end of the Syrian government’s sweep through southern Syria. As towns have fallen, hundreds of thousands of people have fled their homes, and many, including members of the White Helmets, ended up in the shrinking pocket of rebel-held territory along the Israeli-held Golan Heights. Officially known as the Syria Civil Defense, the White Helmets, so called for their signature hard hats, have been lauded in the West for their work digging people out of the rubble after government airstrikes. The United States and other Western governments have funded their work, and a Netflix film, “The White Helmets,” won an Academy Award last year for best short documentary. A second film about the group, “Last Men in Aleppo,” was nominated for an Oscar this year. The Syrian government accuses the group of cavorting with terrorists and of staging footage of their operations to garner sympathy and demonize the government. The Israeli Army called the move “an exceptional humanitarian gesture,” apparently to make it clear that further evacuations were not to be expected. Tzachi Hanegbi, Israel’s minister of regional cooperation, said in a radio interview on Sunday that foreign powers worried that Mr. Assad’s government would target the White Helmets if they were in territory his forces seized. “Now that it appears that the Assad regime is going to regain its hold over all of Syria, the international community wanted to extricate them so that they wouldn’t have to pay the price of the enormous hatred that the Syrian regime has for them,” he said. The Syrians will remain in a restricted area in Jordan until their resettlement within three months, the spokesman or the Jordanian Foreign Ministry said. On Sunday, Jeremy Hunt, Britain’s new foreign secretary, who recently replaced Boris Johnson, took to Twitter to trumpet the evacuation: “Fantastic news that we — UK and friends — have secured evacuation of White Helmets and their families — thank you Israel and Jordan for acting so quickly on our request.” This was the second major evacuation in Syria this past week. On Thursday, buses removed more than 6,000 people from two Shiite villages in Idlib Province in the north who had been besieged by Sunni rebels for years. Idlib now holds the largest patch of rebel-held territory in Syria, and officials in the region assume that once Mr. Assad has retaken the south, he will turn his guns to Idlib. More than two million people are there, many displaced from elsewhere in Syria, and aid organizations worry that any military operation would be catastrophic because civilians will have nowhere to flee. The province borders Turkey, which has kept its border closed. The two Shiite villages, which contained civilians and fighters loyal to the Syrian government, had been under siege by rebel forces for years. Last week, a deal was reached for them to be emptied out and their residents bused to government-held areas farther south in exchange for the release of about 1,500 detainees held by the government. The departure was bitter for those who left, not knowing if they would ever return. “We were hoping for a military campaign to reach us here, but unfortunately nothing happened and we’re leaving,” Hussein Halaq, a Shiite villager, said via a messaging app as he prepared to leave. “Many lost their houses and their future.” But some who remained in Idlib worried that the departure of the Shiites was the government’s way of paving the way for a harsh military attack, since it no longer had to worry about collateral damage to its loyalists. “They were like a card for us, pressing the regime warplanes not to bomb civilians,” said Mohammed Saeed, an antigovernment activist in Idlib.

Heightening Mid-East Tensions

By Hal Lindsey

On Saturday, Syria apparently launched another chemical attack against its people — including small children … By the time you read this, the expected US military response may have already begun … Russia has warned that it will shoot down US missiles and even target the US naval vessels that fire the missiles … After the chemical attack, came a mystery air strike against Syria — probably launched by Israel … Russia then began a war of words with Israel, finally showing their long-held but usually camouflaged disdain for the Jewish state … Hamas continues to stir up violent anti-Israel protests along Israel’s Gaza border … Iran says it will soon restart its nuclear program — as if it had ever actually stopped. And that’s just part of what’s gone on, in only the last few days! The first big question is whether the Trump Administration can really be sure that Syria launched the chemical attack. Russia and Syria both deny it. That’s what they would say in either case, but the timing seems suspicious. Only a few days ago, the President said that with ISIS defeated, he wanted to pull US troops out of Syria, and soon. That would seem to be in Syria’s favor. Why rock the boat now? But while tweeting on the subject, Mr. Trump made a good case that the chemical attack really was a Syrian operation. “Many dead,” he tweeted, “including women and children, in mindless CHEMICAL attack in Syria. Area of atrocity is in lockdown and encircled by Syrian Army, making it completely inaccessible to outside world. President Putin, Russia and Iran are responsible for backing Animal Assad. Big price...” If the area is “in lockdown and encircled by Syrian Army… completely inaccessible to outside world,” then who else could it be? As President, Donald Trump surely knows the facts, and he has no reason to lie about it. After all, a Syrian chemical attack will delay the troop withdrawal he’s anxious for. The President answered the last major chemical attack in Syria by launching 59 cruise missiles at Syria’s Shayrat Airbase. Most observers expect a bigger response this time, but Russia’s increasingly close relationship with Syria and Iran complicates things. Alexander Zasypkin, Russia’s ambassador to Lebanon, made an ominous threat. He said, “If there is a strike by the Americans, then… the missiles will be downed and even the sources from which the missiles were fired.” It’s unlikely that Russia has the ability to shoot down US cruise missiles. It’s also unlikely that they would actually try to sink the US Navy ships launching the attacks. But even the threat shows how dangerous things have become. A world soaked in gasoline is playing with matches. President Trump has worked hard to form a better relationship with Russia. But by the time of Trump’s election, Putin’s course was already set. He committed to it when he sent the Russian military into Syria in 2015. It’s ironic that Trump’s critics have called him weak on Russia and have demanded a more hardline approach. Yesterday’s peaceniks have turned into today’s warmongers. But in this case, the President has pulled no punches. He directly blamed Putin for Assad’s action, and practically dared Russia to try and stop the US response. On Wednesday, President Trump tweeted, “Russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at Syria. Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and ‘smart!’ You shouldn’t be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it!” Assad has placed his troops on alert, evacuating bases near the border with Lebanon, and transporting personnel to Russian installations — presumably safe from a US missile strike. The “mystery air strike” took place Monday on an air base in the Homs province. At first, Syria blamed the US. But after the Pentagon issued a strong denial, they and the Russians switched the blame to Israel. Was it Israel? They didn’t confirm it, but neither did they deny it. Israeli Defense Forces play their cards close to the vest. Just last month they finally acknowledged an air strike on a Syrian nuclear reactor way back in 2007. The Syrian civil war began four years later, so we can all be glad that Israel chose to forcibly shut down the Syrian nuclear program. The strike on Monday caused the deaths of several Iranians as well as Syrians. There were no Russian deaths or injuries reported, but Russia had soldiers assigned to the base. That’s a problem for US forces as well. We don’t know for sure where Russian soldiers are embedded with Syrians. On Monday, Israeli fighter jets hit a Hamas target in Gaza. It was clearly a military target, and no one was hurt. But Russia used it as another excuse to ramp up their anti-Israel rhetoric. In January, Putin and Netanyahu met at the Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center in Moscow. They seemed to hit it off. Netanyahu’s main purpose in the trip was to express concern about Iran’s stronghold in Syria, and their movement of advanced weaponry into Lebanon and Syria. The two got along well, but looking at it now, the effort seems to have been wasted. Putin knows that his alliance with Iran is one of the chief causes of unrest in the region. He’s playing a dangerous, high-stakes game. Newsweek reported on Wednesday that Russia is instructing its citizens to stock up on water and buy gas masks in anticipation of nuclear war. The world right now is teetering on many dangerous precipices. All of them fit the dramatic scenario laid out in the Bible for the end times. For Christian believers, I have two pieces of extremely good news. First, God has already shown us how these things eventually work out. We win! In the meantime, we will face difficulties. But that’s where the second piece of good news comes in. God’s promises remain in effect even when the world seems to be falling apart. Trust Him.

Chipped Tires

By eric - July 13, 2018

Tires are supposed to leave tracks – not track us. Someone should tell the tire companies. Who aren’t telling us about the tracking devices they’re embedding in the tires they’re selling to us – and which can be used to keep track of our comings and goings without our even knowing about it, much less having consented to it. The devices are called Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags – chips, really. They are extremely small buggers – about the size of a grain of rice or even smaller than that – and have been in general use since at least the early 2000s for what is blandly styled Automatic Identification and Data Capture. Which means that wherever the chipped item, animal – or person – is or has been or is going can be kept track of automatically and in perpetuity. The chips are activated by scanners – and so don’t need an internal power source, such as a battery – which would eventually die. The chip can therefore remain active – or rather, capable of activation (and tracking) for years, possibly decades. Ostensibly, they are used for inventory tracking. That’s not the objectionable part. A tire manufacturer has every right to keep track of its tires while they are in the warehouse, or on their way from the warehouse to the retailer – and while they are on the retailer’s shelves. Because at this point, the tires are still the property of the tire company, or the retailer. But once you buy the tires, they become your property – at which point the manufacturer of the tire (and the retailer who sold you the tire) loses all rights to the tire, including the right to track the tire, or use the tire to track you. At the moment of purchase – of transfer of ownership – the RFID chip in the tires ought to be rendered automatically inert, so they can no longer be used to keep track of your tires. Or your comings and goings. Unless you specifically agree otherwise. But the tire companies – and this includes almost all of the major players (more here) such as Michelin, Continental, Cooper, Bridgestone and Pirelli – are not even letting their customers know the tires they just bought are chipped, much less offering to zap the chips before the car leaves the shop. This isn’t inventory control. It is control. Which is why they don’t tell you about the chips – much less offer to zap them into inertness. There is so much data to be captured, you see. Automatically. Outrageously. Profitably. The data being collected – and sold – is currently worth an estimated $8-9 billion, on track to double by 2026. It is of great value to various interested parties to know your driving habits. The insurance mafia, for instance. Chipped tires could work (and perhaps already do work) as a way to keep the mafia informed of the miles you drive, as well as when, where and how those miles are accumulated – the better to profile you. Presumably, the chipped tires could also transmit data about speed as well. All sorts of things. But it’s not just the insurance mafia (more about them here). Knowing your habits, where you go – and when – as well as how long you stay and where you stay – also makes targeting you with ads and offers tailored to your habits and inclinations that much more effective, that much more profitable. Think Minority Report, the dystopian (but accurately predictive) 2002 Tom Cruise movie, based on the novel by sci-fi author Phillip K. Dick. Wherever you go, the ads follow you – are tailored to you. And we’re not being cut in for so much as free cup of coffee the next time we buy a set of tires. And that’s the rub – or at least, one of them. RFID technology – like any technology – isn’t evil in se. It is how it’s used that makes it evil. Those who use it against us without our knowledge and consent are evil in the same general way that a person who uses a gun to rob people is evil. In the same way that person who cheats or embezzles money is evil. If the tire companies who embed RFID chips in the tires they make for purposes of inventory control let us know the tires we’re about to buy have these chips and that they would be happy to disable them for us – or, if we don’t object, leave them active in order to let us know about discounts (or even safety-related recalls) – then no problem. Just as there would be no problem if you agreed to let a company install cameras in your car – or your home – to collect data. But we haven’t agreed. Hell, we haven’t even been told. The things we buy – and it’s not just tires – are being chipped in order to inventory us. You know, like property . . . like livestock. It bears thinking about. And doing something about it: First, check your tires’ sidewall. If it has an RFID chip, there may be a stamp on the sidewall so indicating. Now you know. Also, ask. Demand to know whether the tires you’re buying are chipped. You have as much right to this information about your tires as you have a right to know the treadwear and speed rating of your tires. Then, demand the RFID chips be disabled – as a condition of sale. This is also your right. The tire seller has every right to refuse, of course. But he cannot force you to buy the chipped tires. Not yet. It’s likely that – eventually – RFID ire-chipping will be made mandatory. For saaaaaaaaafety, of course. So that we can be quickly located and made aware of recalls; that will be the excuse used. If that happens, we’ll still have options. RFID chips can be terminated. Here’s a how-to. And now you know that, too!

Genetically modified babies given go ahead by UK ethics body

The Nuffield Council on Bioethics says changing the DNA of a human embryo could be ‘morally permissible’ if it is in the child’s best interests

Ian Sample Science editor @iansample Tue 17 Jul 2018 01.01 EDT

The creation of babies whose DNA has been altered to give them what parents perceive to be the best chances in life has received a cautious green light in a landmark report from a leading UK ethics body. The Nuffield Council on Bioethics said that changing the DNA of a human embryo could be “morally permissible” if it was in the future child’s interests and did not add to the kinds of inequalities that already divide society. The report does not call for a change in UK law to permit genetically altered babies, but instead urges research into the safety and effectiveness of the approach, its societal impact, and a widespread debate of its implications. “It is our view that genome editing is not morally unacceptable in itself,” said Karen Yeung, chair of the Nuffield working group and professor of law, ethics and informatics at the University of Birmingham. “There is no reason to rule it out in principle.” But the report drew immediate criticism from some quarters, with one lobby group accusing the authors of opening the door to the unrestricted use of heritable genetic engineering, and an age of genetic haves and have-nots. Recent advances in genetic technology have given scientists the tools to rewrite the DNA bound up in living cells, letter by letter. With the procedures in hand, scientists can in principle tweak the genetic code in sperm, eggs and embryos, and change dramatically how future children develop. While laws in the UK and some other countries currently ban the creation of genetically altered babies, a handful of experiments around the world have shown that DNA editing could, in principle, prevent children from inheriting serious diseases caused by faulty genes. The prospect of modifying genes in human embryos has long been controversial though. For a start, the procedure has yet to be proven safe. In a study published in Nature Biotechnology on Monday, British researchers found that the most popular tool for genome editing, Crispr-Cas9, caused more damage to DNA than previously thought. If the scientists are right, gene editing could disrupt healthy genes when it is meant only to fix faulty ones. Another consideration is that any changes made to an embryo’s DNA would affect all of its cells, including the sperm or eggs, meaning that genetic modifications would be passed down to all future generations. Also, in the vast majority of cases alternative procedures, such as preimplantation genetic testing, can be used to screen embryos for harmful DNA. DNA editing also raises the possibility of “designer babies”, where the genetic code of embryos created through standard IVF is rewritten so that children have traits the parents find desirable. The Nuffield report does not rule out any specific uses of genome editing, but says that to be ethical, any applications must follow the principles of being in the child’s interests, and have no ill-effects for society. Jackie Leach Scully, professor of social ethics and bioethics at Newcastle University, and a co-author on the report, said heritable genome editing may one day become an option for parents “to try and secure what they think is the best start in life” for their future children. But she warned that there could be unintended consequences if the law were changed to allow gene editing of human embryos. While the technology could potentially reduce the number of people affected by certain genetic disorders, it could leave those with the diseases feeling more marginalised and with less medical support. The report urges government to set up a new body to ensure that as many voices as possible are involved in public discussions about what should and should not be permissible. “We are very clear that what we need to have is as wide a discussion about this issue as possible,” Leach Scully said. In the event that the law is changed, gene editing of human embryos should be considered on a case-by-case basis by the fertility regulator, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority, the report adds. George Church, a geneticist at Harvard University who was not involved in the report, said he agreed with the report’s guiding principle that gene editing “should not be expected to increase disadvantage, discrimination, or division in society,” adding that this would be aided by lower costs and better public dialogue and education. Making changes to common gene variants in sperm and eggs could save roughly 5% of babies from painful diseases he said. But Marcy Darnovsky at the Center for Genetics and Society in California said that the report recognised that if reproductive gene editing was permitted, it would be used for enhancement and cosmetic purposes. “They dispense with the usual pretence that this could – or, in their estimation, should – be prevented. They acknowledge that this may worsen inequality and social division, but don’t believe that should stand in the way. In practical terms, they have thrown down a red carpet for unrestricted use of inheritable genetic engineering, and a gilded age in which some are treated as genetic ‘haves’ and the rest of us as ‘have-nots’.”

Return of the Ancient Gods: The Resurgence of Paganism

Over the past two centuries, Europe has become increasingly secular. Scholars in fact no longer talk of the Christian West when they speak of Modern Europe and North America, but of the Secular West. There is however evidence of a spiritual revival stirring on the continent where God is supposedly dead. Old traditions pre-dating the appearance of the Jewish carpenter turned Messiah are beginning to re-emerge. Since the 19th century, there has been an increasing interest in ancient pre-Christian European religions such as ancient Greek, Germanic, Celtic, and Slavic paganism. This stems from an increasing interest in spirituality in Europe, specifically a spirituality in touch with European heritage and ethnic roots in a similar manner to indigenous religions of Native Americans and Aboriginal Australians. Ancient and Modern Combine Among modern Pagans, there are two approaches to reviving pagan practices. One is eclecticism or syncretism, in which elements of historical ethnic religions such as the ancient Norse religion are combined with modern movements such as Wicca, Theosophy or other New Age philosophies. This is largely based on romantic views of these ancient religions which emerged in the 19th century which may or may not be historically accurate. In Iceland, the Norse gods are making a particularly strong comeback and Nordic paganism is now Iceland’s fastest growing religion. In fact, they will soon complete the first temple to Thor and Odin to exist in Iceland in over 1000 years. “I don’t believe anyone believes in a one-eyed man who is riding about on a horse with eight feet,” High priest Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson told the Guardia n. “We see the stories as poetic metaphors and a manifestation of the forces of nature and human psychology.” Denmark too completed a pagan temple dedicated to Odin for the first time in a millennium in 2016. Reconstructing the Past The other approach is polytheistic reconstructionism which is an attempt to make an historically accurate reconstruction of these ancient religions based on historical sources, archaeological data, and perhaps ethnographic comparison. Reconstructionists avoid embellishing ancient pagan religions with modern movements and ideologies. Germanic Paganism One of the largest movements currently which can be either syncretic or reconstructionist is the revival of Germanic Paganism or “Heathenry.” Modern Germanic Pagans or Heathens, as they prefer to call themselves, worship the old Germanic gods, especially Thor and Odin as well as Germanic nature spirits such as Elves and Trolls. Germanic Heathens appear to have three different approaches to proselytizing and practicing their religion. Some Heathens emphasize simply the worship of the Germanic gods and believe that anyone regardless of their national, ethnic, or racial background can worship the Gods. These are the universalists. Germanic Gods Wodan, Thor and Frijar There are other Heathens, however, who believe that Germanic cultural and spiritual values also need to be adopted in order to be true worshipers of the Germanic gods. Most of the latter group of Heathens also believe that worship of the Germanic gods is not limited to any particular ethnic or racial background simply that those individuals interested in worshiping them should learn something about and agree with some aspects of the culture from which they originated. Germanic Paganism is after all technically an ethnic religion. There are some Heathens however who call themselves Folkists or Folkish Heathens who believe that only those who are of White Northern European descent have any right to worship the Gods. These are the ones that tend to promote White supremacism and other explicitly racist agendas. Other Heathens, as a result, try to distance themselves from the Folkists, even those who would otherwise agree that Heathens who worship the Germanic gods should adopt Germanic values. Slavic Paganism Slavic Paganism or Heathenry is also enjoying a resurgence in Eastern Europe in countries with large Slavic populations. A movement known as Rodnovery or “Native Faith” is made up of communities which claim to continue the ancient Slavic religion which was mostly replaced by Eastern Orthodox Christianity. This movement is especially strong in Poland despite the nation’s dominant Catholic identity. Many Rodnovery are self-described reconstructionists but others claim direct continuity with the ancient traditions claiming that their families continued the old religion in secret or in cloaked form alongside Christianity. Revival of the Greek Gods In Greece, a couple of organizations have emerged promoting a revival of the ancient Greek religion under the name “Hellenism.” The Hellenists also call themselves Dodekatheists or believers in twelve gods, namely the Olympian deities. Religious practices in Hellenism include public worship at temples or in outdoor open spaces of the major Greek gods, Zeus, Apollo, Artemis, Hera, Athena, Ares, Aphrodite, Demeter, Hephaestus, Hermes, Hestia, Dionysus, Hades and Poseidon among others. There is also a large household worship component centered on domestic Greek deities such as Hestia, goddess of the hearth. Most Hellenists are politically inactive but some of them desire to create a national and ethnic identity for Greece not rooted in Eastern Orthodoxy. Some Hellenists have been vocally hostile towards the Greek Orthodox Church but many simply want to practice their religion amicably alongside Greek Christians. The Return of Celtic Paganism In addition to the revival of Greek, Germanic, and Slavic forms of paganism, there is also an attempt to revive Celtic paganism. There are both reconstructionist Modern Celtic Pagans and syncretic Modern Celtic Pagans who also incorporate Wicca and other traditions into their religion. Modern Celtic Pagans use the Lunar calendar of the ancient Celts and celebrate the solstices and equinoxes as well as the cross-quarter days, days that are half-way between one of the solstices and one of the equinoxes, as religious festivals. These festivals include the well-known festivals of Samhain and Imbolc. There does not appear to have been any attempt to connect Contemporary Celtic Paganism to a political agenda or nationalist movement unlike the other forms of Contemporary Paganism. The Past Meets the Future Religions tend to shape civilizations. When Europe became Christian and the Middle East and North Africa became Muslim, two different civilizations were formed which were quite different because of the religious traditions on which they were based. Europe most likely won’t become pagan again, but it is interesting to think of what sort of civilization would be birthed from the revival of one of these ancient religious traditions. What would a modern Pagan Greece look like culturally and politically, for example? One thing is for certain, it would go in a rather different direction than either a Christian or Secularist Greece.

A shocking and horrifying look inside the world of “psychiatric medicine” … like “going into HELL”

Monday, July 16, 2018 by: Vicki Batts

(Natural News) When someone you care about is admitted to a hospital, it’s natural to assume they’ll be cared for — but sadly, that isn’t always the case. And at Western State Hospital, the largest psychiatric facility in Washington state, both patients and employees are suffering inside the cruel, state-run institution. While the left-wing calls for more government involvement in medicine, the conditions at Western State are more than enough to give even the most ardent supporter of socialized medicine pause. Hundreds of patients live under conditions that easily fail U.S. health and safety standards at the 800-bed facility, while nurses and psychiatrists are overworked and say the entire hospital is under-staffed. Employees say they end up getting punished for speaking out, which no doubt makes change a hard thing to accomplish. Patients are assaulted, neglected Lisa Bowser, daughter of a former Western State patient, told AP in an exclusive report, “They don’t have enough staff to protect patients, or provide them with the bare minimum of care.” Bowser’s mom, Sharon Struthers, stayed at the facility for two years — and suffered multiple assaults and falls while in their “care.” “Going there was like going into hell,” Bowser contended. “I honestly thought they would kill her before I could get her out,” she added. Bowser has launched a lawsuit against the state-run hospital, and the state Department of Social and Health Services. Though her mother died at a different facility in 2016, the neglect and abuse at Western State are impossible to ignore. She found bruises on her mother’s body, and fungus covering her feet. “They wouldn’t bathe her. She would tell me that another patient hit her,” Bowser explained.  Struthers went on to suffer falls that resulted in a broken arm and hip — and she was sexually assaulted on multiple occasions. Emails show that licensed mental health counselor Mark Allen told hospital officials putting a registered sex offender on Struthers’ ward was safe because he was a “child molester, not adult rapist.” After the assault, Allen argued that the “encounter” appeared to have been between “two consulting adults.” But Bowser’s lawyer says Struthers was hospitalized because she couldn't take care of herself (which means, she couldn’t consent). In another total misstep by management, nursing supervisor Paul Vilja was punished after filing a complaint when “a man who was found not guilty by reason of insanity in the deaths of multiple people was moved from a secure ward into one with limited security.” Vilja said the patient was a danger to others, and a possible flight risk. Even though hospital officials agreed with Vilja, the nursing supervisor ended up being moved to a different department within a week — and was barred from working with patients for six months. Multiple employees say they were punished in a similar fashion for sounding the alarm on decisions that put patients and staff at risk. Two were actually fired.  Conditions not improving The U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services recently stripped the hospital of its certification and federal funding — a total loss of $53 million per year, which equates to about 20 percent of the budget. While state officials continue to pin blame on the hospital, little action is being taken to fundamentally change how it’s being run. Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee commented, “We have been on a course correction to turn this ship around and we are continuing on that course of improvement.” Inslee and his ilk have poured over $100 million into state mental healthcare since 2014, but where is it all going? At Western State, 15 psychiatrists have left — and no one new has been hired. Nurses are replaced with “nurse educators” who don’t even see patients. While state legislators wag their fingers at the hospital, courts have tried to force Western State to take on more patients, even when there’s no space for them. This is what happens when Big Government gets involved with medicine. See more coverage at BigGovernment.news.

Trump is right about who’s to blame for bad relations with Russia

Washington’s naiveté regarding Moscow comes not from the current administration, but from previous presidents who foolishly designed to reshape Russia in America’s image

By David P. Goldman July 17, 2018 3:57 AM (UTC+8)

US President Donald Trump offended the entire political spectrum with a tweet this morning blaming Washington for poor relations with Russia. “Our relationship with Russia has NEVER been worse thanks to many years of US foolishness and stupidity,” the president said, and he is entirely correct. By this, I do not mean to say that Russia is a beneficent actor in world affairs or that Russian President Vladimir Putin is an admirable world leader. Nonetheless, the president displayed both perspicacity and political courage when he pointed the finger at the United States for mismanaging the relationship with Russia. Full disclosure: I was a card-carrying member of the neoconservative cabal that planned to bring Western-style democracy and free markets to Russia after the fall of Communism. As chief economist for the supply-side consulting firm Polyconomics, I got an appointment as an adviser to Boris Yeltsin’s finance ministry and made several trips to Moscow. Of course, the finance ministry really was a family office for Yeltsin’s oligarch friends, who were too busy stealing Russia’s economy to listen to advice. The experience cured me of the neoconservative delusion that democracy and free markets are the natural order of things. Unfortunately, the delusion that the United States would remake Russia in its own image persisted through the Bush and Obama administrations . I have no reason to doubt the allegations that a dozen Russian intelligence officers meddled in the US elections of 2016, but this was equivalent of a fraternity prank compared to America’s longstanding efforts to intervene in Russian politics. The United States supported the 2014 Maidan uprising in Ukraine and the overthrow of the Yanukovych government in the hope of repeating the exercise in Moscow sometime later. Then Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland pulled whatever strings America had to replace the feckless and corrupt Victor Yanukovych with a government hostile to the Kremlin. She didn’t say it in so many words, but she hoped the Ukraine coup would lead to the overthrow of Vladimir Putin. Evidently, Nuland and her boss, Hillary Clinton, thought that the Ukraine coup would deprive Russia of its Black Sea naval base in Crimea, and did not anticipate that Russia simply would annex an old Russian province that belonged to Ukraine by historical accident. At the time, liberal opinion evanesced with the notion that Moscow would follow Maidan. The Christian Science Monitor reported in February 2014, “Some in Russia’s liberal community see in the Maidan a hope that the Kremlin, no matter how solid it looks, could one day crack under similar popular pressure. ‘What we are seeing in Ukraine is the realization of the Ukrainian people’s aspiration for democracy, of the right to revolt,’ says Sergei Davidis, a board member of Solidarnost, a liberal opposition coalition. ‘It doesn’t mean we’re ready to follow that example. Russian conditions are different. But in the long run, as the contradictions pile up, we may well come to the same pass and find ourselves with no alternatives but the Ukrainian one.'” Of course, no such thing occurred. The Maidan coup was the second American attempt to install a Ukrainian government hostile to Moscow; the first occurred in 2004, when Condoleezza Rice was Secretary of State rather than Hillary Clinton. As I wrote in Asia Times a decade ago, “On the night of November 22, 2004, then-Russian president – now premier – Vladimir Putin watched the television news in his dacha near Moscow. People who were with Putin that night report his anger and disbelief at the unfolding ‘Orange’ revolution in Ukraine. ‘They lied to me,’ Putin said bitterly of the United States. ‘I’ll never trust them again.’ The Russians still can’t fathom why the West threw over a potential strategic alliance for Ukraine. They underestimate the stupidity of the West.” American efforts to promote a democratic opposition to Putin have failed miserably, and as John Lloyd wrote recently at Reuters, the Russian president remains genuinely popular. This remains a source of perpetual frustration for the neoconservatives, who cannot fathom why dictatorships still exist. Russia is a brutal country that always has been governed by brutal men. No one talks about Ivan the Reasonable. Compared to Peter the Great or Alexander II, let alone Stalin or Ivan the Terrible, Putin is one of Russia’s gentler heads of state. I attempted to explain why in this 2016 essay for Asia Times. Thanks to President Trump, Russia (as well as China) now understands that America’s intervention in Iraq was not a deliberate effort to destabilize the region, and that its support for Sunni jihadists in Syria was not a deliberate effort to create an Islamist monster with which to destabilize Russia. Under the headline “They’ll never believe we’re that stupid,” I wrote in May 2015: “Beijing and Moscow made up their minds some time ago that the United States had deliberately unleashed chaos on the Levant as part of a malevolent plan of some kind. The Chinese and Russians (and most of the rest of the world) simply cannot process the notion that the United States is run by clueless amateurs who stumble from one half-baked initiative to another, with no overall plan (except, of course, to persuade the Persians to become America’s friends rather than enemies). Incompetence has consequences. One of the consequences will be that our competitors and adversaries will take us for knaves instead of fools, or even worse, will recognize that we are fools after all.” Russia is in crisis, but Russia always is in crisis. Russia has a brutal government, but Russia always has had a brutal government, and by every indication, the people of Russia nonetheless seem to like their government. If they want a different sort of government, let them establish one; what sort of government they prefer is not the business of the United States. America’s attempt to shape Russia’s destiny, starting with the Clinton Administration’s sponsorship of the feckless, drunk and corrupt Boris Yeltsin, had baleful results. So did the State Department’s attempt to manipulate events in Ukraine in 2004 and 2014. That’s why President Trump’s tweet this morning is entirely correct. Once again, it is refreshing to hear an American president cut through the cant and tell the unvarnished truth.

REVEALED: Government experts had plutonium and radioactive materials STOLEN from their car in Texas last year and it has never been traced

In March 2017, two security officials were tasked with retrieving the hazardous material from a facility in San Antonio

Their mission explicitly stated that they were to keep the hazardous elements out of civilian hands and return it safely back to Idaho

The government contractors left the materials in the back seat of their rented Ford Expedition while staying at a hotel

At least 87 thefts occurred in the car park from 2016 to 2017, The San Antonio Express reported

Sarah Neumann, a spokesperson Idaho National Laboratory, would not reveal how much plutonium was stolen, but added its 'not enough to make a bomb'

By Daily Mail Online Reporter Published: 20:39 EDT, 16 July 2018 | Updated: 06:14 EDT, 17 July 2018

The US Government is refusing to disclose how much plutonium and other radioactive materials went missing in Texas last year following a robbery. In March 2017, two security officials from the Department of Energy’s Idaho National Laboratory were tasked with retrieving the hazardous material from a facility in San Antonio. Their mission explicitly stated that they were to keep the hazardous elements out of civilian hands and return it safely back to Idaho where the government maintains a stockpile of nuclear explosive materials for the military. But according to The Center for Public Integrity, who were able to review government documents and speak to witnesses, the security experts left the materials in the back seat of their rented Ford Expedition while staying at a hotel. Unfortunately, the Marriott just off of Highway 410 was located in one of the most crime-ridden neighborhoods in Texas. When the government contractors awoke the next morning, they found the windows of their rental car completely smashed and the hazard materials, along with a catalog of expensive equipment, completely gone. At least 87 thefts occurred in the car park from 2016 to 2017, The San Antonio Express reported Now, more than a year later, no one in the government knows where the plutonium or radioactive cesium seems to be. Sarah Neumann, a spokesperson Idaho National Laboratory, refused to reveal how much plutonium - one of the most hazardous materials known to man - went missing. But she assured the Center for Public Integrity that it was not 'enough to make an atomic bomb.' Experts say that at least seven pounds of plutonium is needed to make a viable weapon, according to The Independent. Police spokesperson Carlos Ortiz said that very little evidence was left behind at the crime scene following the initial investigation. Ortiz said the contractors 'should have never left a sensitive instrument like this unattended in a vehicle.' Civilian control of nuclear materials - like that of privately owned power plants - is highly regulated and overseen by the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna. But under the auspices of the US military and the Department of Energy, oversight is less transparent. Although the government insists they have 'an overriding national priority' in protecting the public from bomb-usable materials, the Center for Public Integrity reports that they seldom admit when such material has gone missing.

LAS VEGAS (INTELLIHUB) — A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed December 6, 2017, seeking “primary and secondary surveillance radar” return data from McCarran International Airport (KLAS) in a “byte for byte format” between the hours of 7 p.m. and 1 p.m. on the night of the 1 October shooting and a separate FOIA request seeking video surveillance footage of the airport’s “western edge” runways and “specifically the helicopter pads from both Sundance and Maverick Helicopters” between the hours of 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. and all “air traffic control recordings of ground and terminal communications from KLAS and the helicopters” between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. was denied by the Federal Aviation Administration which ultimately cited “contemporaneous criminal investigations into those same events” after several months of correspondence. Additionally, the original FOIA request provided to Intellihub dated December 6, 2017, requested records of who “piloted helicopters N854MH, N858MH, N848MH, N208SH, and N231SH” in particular between the hours of 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. on October 1, 2017. The request states: Preliminary cause for alarm has been raised by examination of “FlightRadar24” archived data. Therefore officially authenticated data needs to be retrieved to either substantiate or negate the anomalous behavior of helicopters over Las Vegas during the horrific shooting event on Oct 1, 2017. In any event where coordinated efforts may be made to suppress information, suppress witnesses, and obfuscate facts the safest path for those involved is to rapidly disseminate relevant information to both state and federal law enforcement agencies, as well as the public they are sworn to protect. The lives of 58 people deserve to have all the facts immediately borne out. In a response to the initial FOIA request the FAA made a “no records determination” which stated the following in the agency’s January 8, 2017 response: A search was conducted by the Air Traffic Organization, System Operation Services, Performance Analysis Office using Federal Aviation Administration’s National Offload Program (NOP) repository but there were no records found responsive to your request. Please note that the NOP repository only has records for flights that operated under instrument flight rule (IFR), or under visual flight rules (VFR) and were tracked by air traffic control in a radar environment. On January 18, 2018, a “request for reconsideration and appeal” regarding the FOIA request “no records determination” was placed “to all relevant parties” which stated: I note that a denial was issued for flight track data on 5 aircraft using the NOP repository, however, my FOIA request was principally for the primary and secondary surveillance radar from KLAS (McCarran Airport) from 0200 UTC to 0800 UTC 10/02/2017 in a byte for byte format. In a separate FOIA request, I did also request information regarding 5 specific aircraft, so I will illustrate the complete initial requests (dated Dec 6, 2017) here: Per FOIA, I’d like a copy of both the primary and secondary surveillance radar from KLAS (McCarran Airport) from 0200 UTC to 0800 UTC on 10/02/2017 in a byte for byte format.

In a seperate FOIA request, I’d also like any security footage from the FAA control center covering the western edge of KLAS — McCarran’s runways, and specifically the helicopter pads ofd both Sundance and Maverick Helicopters from approx 2100 – 2300 hrs Las Vegas time, 10/01/2017.

In a tertiary FOIA request, I’d like ATC recordings of ground and terminal communications from KLAS with helicopters in flight from 0400 UTC to 0600 UTC 10/02/2017 in byte for byte format.

If FAA has records of who piloted helicopters from 0400 UTC to 0600 UTC 10/02/1017, I request via FOIA the records of who piloted N854MH, N858MH, N848MH, N208SH, and N213SH.

I also request the precise departure and arrival times for each of the 5 aftermentioned helicopters.

Lastly, via FOIA, [redacted] in relation to KLAS during 0200 UTC to 0800 UTC 10/02/2017.

It appears the FAA has conflated my request for secondary surveillance radar with my request for pilot/operator information for 5 specific helicopters. Therefore, FAA still needs to respond to the initial 6 requests, while simultaneously addressing this appeal. Reconsideration for this appeal is requested based on the attached information. With respect to the flight track of 5 aircraft, the unique registration of those aircraft may have been insufficient, so perhaps FAA should additionally specify the following associated Mode-S codes:

Registration # N854MH, Mode-S code ABB74F

Registration # N858MH, Mode-S code ABC62B

Registration # N848MH, Mode-S code AB9EAC

Registration # N208SH, Mode-S code A1B153

Registration # N213SH, Mode-S code A1C63F

The bizarre denial of record specified that NOP only tracked aircraft under IFR and VFR and which were tracked by ATC in a radar environment. It is peculiar that I must point out to FAA that McCarran Airport, KLAS, is in fact a radar environment, and importantly of class B airspace. It is also peculiar that I must point out to FAA that all 5 of the aftermentioned aircraft were tracked by ATC, as required by the rules of class B airspace, and is indicated by the attached audio and records retrievable from LiveATC.net among other sources. According to the rules of U.S. Class B airspace, via Wikipedia: “All aircraft entering class B airspace must obtain ATC clearance prior to entry and must be prepared for denial of clearance. Aircraft must be equipped with a two-way radio for communications with ATC and an operating Mode C transponder, furthermore aircraft overflying the upper limit of any class B airspace must have an operating Mode C transponder. Visual flight rules (VFR) flights may proceed under their own navigation after obtaining clearance but must obey any explicit instructions given by ATC. Some class B airspaces include special transition routes for VFR flight that require communication with ATC but may not require an explicit clearance. Other class B airspaces include VFR corridors through which VFR flights may pass without clearance (and without technically entering the class B airspace).” From Wikipedia: “Class B airspace is defined around key airport traffic areas, usually airspace surrounding the busiest airports in the US according to the number of IFR operations and passengers served. The exact shape of the airspace varies from one class B area to another, but in most cases it has the shape of an inverted wedding cake, with a series of circular “shelves” of airspace of several thousand feet in thickness centered on a specific airport. Each shelf is larger than the one beneath it. Class B airspace normally begins at the surface in the immediate area of the airport, and successive shelves of greater and greater radius begin at higher and higher altitudes at greater distances from the airport. Many class B airspaces diverge from this model to accommodate traffic patterns or local topological or other features. The upper limit of class B airspace is normally 10,000 feet (3,000 m) MSL.” Additionally, the FOIA request states: It would be inconceivable that FAA cannot produce similar statistics. Therefore to further help the FAA find their own records, I am attaching CSV files of the 5 aftermentioned aircraft including their call sign, position, altitude, speed, and direction. I am also attaching associated KML files for easy graphical interpretation. I am also attaching files of relevant ATC communication. Incidentally, a careful review of the position of said aircraft will reveal that at least one aircraft, Maverick N848MH, anonymously loses its Mode-S interrogation at 2017-10-02 T04:4911Z and rekindles it at 2017-10-02 T05:15:54Z. If any citations for this violation of Title 14 §91.215, or if any special waivers or agreement exist between FAA and N848MH, or its operators, it would be helpful for FAA to provide them in your reply. Furthermore, it appears that N848MH did not return immediately to McCarran as directly instructed by ATC. If the pilot of N848MH had an emergency that warranted compliance with Title 14 §91.123(c), I request proof of that compliance. As you have now been made aware of a possible violation of Title 14 Rules, I will draw your attention to Title 14 §13.1(a) and Title 14 §13.3. To ensure compliance with Title 14 §13.1(a) and with Title 14 §13.5 in mind [redacted] copying the FAA, Office of the Chief Counsel, Enforcement Docket with this appeal. This matter has now been discussed with numerous airline professionals and representatives of local airfields, law enforcement, as well as various military veterans with past and current flight time experience. With respect to the atrocity which occurred in Las Vegas on 1 October, 2017, the FAA and associated Inspector Generals might note that in addition to the existing SSR data and ATC data, there are also numerous instances of video taken from portable electronic devices, with appropriate timestamps, which appear to show aircraft activity where no correlating and complying S-Mode data exists. We note that if it is found that N848MH and others were in non-compliance with regulations between T04:49:11Z and T05:15:54Z, on 2017-10-02, the FAA may consider factually reviewing possible violations of Title 14 §91.15 for dropping objects, such as ballistic projectiles, upon the vulnerable crowd. Moreover, in correspondence included with the FOIA request provided to Intellihub the filing party states they are “less than confident that a single entity can or will ensure a proper investigation into these matters” the information included in the request was also sent and copied to the following parties in addition to Intellihub:

All initial FAA contacts

The FAA FOIA Appeals Office

The FAA OIG hotline

The DoJ Criminal Divison

The DoJ Civil Rights Division

The Clark County Sheriff’s Department, Nevada

The Clark County District Attorney’s Office, Nevada

The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Department, Arizona

The Senate Committee on Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs

The Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation

Judicial Watch

The Oath Keepers

Other interested parties

The FBI Las Vegas Tip Line was contacted directly by telephone and webform submittal on this matter several weeks ago.

DOD OIG will be contacted directly, as well as the FAA Office of Chief Counsel.

To boot, the FOIA includes mention of an “ominous ‘4chan’ post predicting a similar atrocity three weeks before the mass murder event, significant number of witnesses alleging multiple shooters, and curious forensic evidence such as that provided in this message” and makes clear that “Americans anticipate a factually accurate conclusion into the Las Vegas shooting investigation, wherever those facts may lead.” The FOIA repeal was marked received by the Washington D.C. FAA FOIA Appeal Section on Jan 19, 2018. On Jan 25, 2018, the requester addressed an email “to all those at stake” which was also CC’ed to the Department of Defense (DoD), Air Force Space Command (AFSC), Nevada Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC), and the Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance Agency (AFISRA) was sent by the FOIA requester in an attempt to reach an Air Force Inspector General. The email reads as follows: To all those at stake: Wanting to reach an AF IG, and not knowing precisely which if any of you are empowered or capable of looking into this, I ask that you please forgive the casting of such a wide net. I have concerns about our homeland security, the health and safety of Americans, and possible investigative conflict of interests with respect to the mass murder atrocity which occurred in Las Vegas on 1 October 2017. Of the rights embodied by our Constitution (that our service of men and women are sworn to protect), the right to life seems particularly important to most. 58 Americans were murdered on October 1st. Thousands more might have been. Though the FBI and LVMPD would seem to have jurisdiction and concern over the matter, DoD involvement may be required. A look into this matter utilizing DoD informatics will ensure that the DoD’s ability to surveil the NAS, near operational centers, using direct and indirect methods, has not been compromised. The American people ask that the full force of our Constitutional Republic be utilized to amend the atrocity which once again befell innocent citizens at home. The DoD should ensure that a comprehensive analysis is conducted of all the rotary aircraft near the Route 91 festival on October 1, 2017. This analysis should be conducted to ensure that the safety of our NAS was not compromised by our enemies, and that communication and data retrieved between DoD and FAA ATC centers has not been compromised. This concern is raised because the FAA has alleged, in an official FOIA response, that they can not find flight track on five aircraft which were spatially and temporally proximal to the mass murder at the Route 91 festival. Please review the attached and linked documentation, forward message, and the following critical findings: At least three EC130 helicopters, which use low dB technology, turned off their Mode-S transponders behind the Mandalay Bay about 15 min[utes] before the shooting began. These aircraft were broadcasting N854MH, N858MH, and N848MH. During the volleys of gunfire, aircraft are visible in numerous instances of portable electronic devise recordings, where no corresponding transponder signal is provided. Some of this video shows intense bursts of light, between the Mandalay Bay and Delano Hotels, that do not correlate with navigation lights. [Redacted] Publicly available sources, such as Flight Radar24, show that these aircraft do not broadcast their altitude as required in class B airspace, and at least one appears to not to have returned to KLAS as instructed by ATC. The presence of these aircraft are corroborated by video, ATC audio, and some radar records, yet the FAA has inexplicably claimed an inability to locate the aircraft. Specific aircraft flight records appear to be scrubbed or purged from some resources like “FlightAware” suggesting an organized effort at coverup, but screen recordings and downloads from “FlightRadar24” as well as ATC audio, show the aircraft of concern behaving in the manner described in the provided appeal and complaint. The FAA’s alleged inability to retrieve the record of aircraft in their own Class B airspace raises safety concerns for the NAS. As DoD is required to be able to communicate with FAA systems, as shown in various ORDs and CDDs, is it possible that DoD records have also been corrupted in this attack? Did Nellis AFB DASR notice the presence of three aircraft in violation of Title 14 of the CFR? With all due respect to the DoJ generally, a single portion of a single entity, such as the specific task force of the FBI assigned to the mass murder investigation, may not be sufficient to get a factual and ethical accounting of the event. We are in a GWoT. The mass murder of civilians using belt-fed automatic weapons on a rotary aircraft functioning as a gunship over an American city would likely be constituted as terrorism by most standard definitions. If these aircraft were not used in the attack, why were lurking in the area in a covert manner? Why are there burst of light coming from them? Were they contracted aircraft? Why hasn’t FAA produced record of them? Bottom line, the matter needs to be rigorously investigated. Domestic operations which may in some way strategically benefit the Nation are one thing, but the actions in Las Vegas were overtly criminal and warrant a response, regardless of who was behind them. It is inconceivable that NORTHCOM would not be able to ascertain the exact activities of the aftermentioned aircraft between 0430Z and 0530Z on October 2, 2017. The bizarre denial of record from the FAA regarding primary radar data of the area is gravely alarming. If the behavior of the aircraft is benign, then primary radar return would show that and ought to be produced. Meaningful information must be shared with law enforcement and legislative bodies that will ensure justice for the deceased, a true accounting to all Americans, and protection for those lucky enough to live tomorrow. No response is requested or required, but you are welcome to contact me directly with questions if you wish Very respectfully yours, [Name redacted]

On February 9, 2017, the FAA’s FOIA Appeals Section replied: I am handling your FOIA request for FAA Air Traffic Organization records related to events in Las Vegas, NV on October 1, 2017, and that FOIA request remains open while [we] are processing your request. Prior to releasing any records obtained through our search, we are required to consult with any federal law enforcement agencies, for example the Federal Bureau of Investigation, who may be handling contemporaneous criminal investigations into those same events. As such, the Federal Aviation Administration response to your FOIA request remains in the “Pending Review” status at this time. I am not able to give you an accurate timeline regarding how long this process may take. However [you] may contact me with the status of your request. Many thanks, [Name redacted] The requester responded via email on March 9, 2017. The email reads: A new video has surfaced showing the aircraft between the hotels during the shooting. Additional rotary craft are audible during this horrible video. I’m curious, on what basis can the FBI prevent the FAA from releasing data to the public, and why is the FAA deferring to them on the NAS matters? Do regulations require such deferment, or advise it? If it is only an advisement, then I argue it is imperative to the integrity of this nation and the lives of the dead that all radar records for the Las Vegas atrocity be released immediately to the public so that a true investigation might occur. The details on the atrocity are vexing. [Name redacted] On March 22, 2018, another followup email was sent by the requester to the FAA which cited how the “statutory deadline” for determination is “20 days” after the previous request was ignored.

Related: DNC hack involved Russian agents "within the democratic party": unreleased Steele memo Following the 22 march request a response was issued by the FAA which reads: As a status update on your request, the search records produced from your FOIA request are currently being reviewed by another federal agency. This FOIA request represents an exception to the 20-day timeline discussed in the citation provided below. The required inner-agency consultation is authorized in certain circumstances, as described within the nine FOIA withholding exemptions: https://www.justice.gov/oip/doj-guide-freedom-information-act-0 . Again, I am not able to give you an accurate timeline regarding how long this process may take. However, you may contact me for updates on the status of your request. Many thanks, [Name redacted] On June 5, 2018, the FAA replied to the requester: “The information you requested is part of a Federal Bureau of Investigation criminal law enforcement matter. Premature release of the records related to these events could hinder law enforcement investigations. Therefore, the contents of the requested files are protected from mandatory disclosure under Exemption 7(a) of the FOIA, 5 U.S.C. 552, accordingly your request is denied.” Related: Best HiDef Las Vegas Shooting footage *WARNING GRAPHIC* Why would the FBI be investigating radar data more than 8 months later if there is nothing to the helicopters?

AMERICANS ARE ESPECIALLY THIRSTY FOR ARRIVAL OF THE FALSE PROPHET AND ANTICHRIST: New Stats Show Most In US Want Some Form Of Religion… JUST NOT THE CHRISTIAN KIND

July 15, 2018 by SkyWatch Editor

The number of self-proclaimed Christians is shrinking in America. I’ve been collecting data on this trend for over 10 years, and the surveys reveal an important truth: Fewer people claim a Christian affiliation than ever before, and those who claim no religious affiliation are the fastest growing group in America. But while fewer people may belong to Christian churches or communities, Americans will likely retain some form of religious identity – especially if what’s happening in Europe is an indicator of things to come… (READ MORE) ]

Most Americans want some form of religious identity - Even atheists are creating churches

By J. Warner Wallace | Fox News

A new Pew Forum survey conducted in Western Europe reveals that Christianity is waning there even faster than it is in the United States. And while “most adults surveyed (in Western Europe) still do consider themselves Christians,” the vast majority of them don’t attend church services." In the United Kingdom, for example, there are roughly three times as many non-practicing Christians (55%) as there are church-attending Christians (18%).” Despite this trend in Europe, Christian symbols are increasingly seen in many countries. A recent article described this phenomenon, citing an order “to hang a cross in the entrance of every state building in Bavaria.” Religious symbols “are making a powerful comeback” in Germany as well, even though Christianity is in decline. One official “insisted that the ‘cross is not a sign of religion’ but of identity and culture.” Why do so many Europeans still “consider themselves Christians, even if they seldom go to church?” In some countries (like Germany), it may simply be a reaction to the fact Europe has “opened its doors to more than a million migrants, many from predominantly Muslim countries.” But something else may also be responsible for our hesitancy to jettison religion altogether, both in Europe and America. We may just be innately religious. Even those Americans who have abandoned Christian churches, for example, find themselves searching for an adequate replacement. “Atheist churches,” have been formed across the country, aiming to “offer some features of a religious congregation (fellowship, collective enjoyment, a stimulus to moral behavior).” These congregations meet on Sundays and some “include ‘Sunday School’, where children go while parents attend ‘services.’” When asked if these “atheist churches” could be described as a form of religion, the founder of the Seattle Atheist Church responded with a “definite ‘yes.’” It appears that Americans, particularly millennial Americans, “are not abandoning organized religion to become secular, science-loving humanists.” Instead, many millennials who have rejected Christianity still “believe in the soul, divine energy, (and) mystical realities.” In fact, a recent American Pew Research Center study found that of those who claim no religious affiliation, 17 percent still said they believed in the God as described in the Bible, and 53 percent said they believed in a higher power or spiritual force. Even 18 percent of self-proclaimed atheists said they believed in some kind of higher spiritual power. Pew continues to find that religiously non-affiliated Americans “are as religious as – or even more religious than – Christians in several European countries, including France, Germany, and the U.K.” So, while we Americans may report that we’re less likely to identify ourselves with Christianity, we haven’t yet rejected many core supernatural beliefs common to the faith, nor have we resisted our predisposition to form communities that resemble traditional congregations. Try as we might, it won’t be easy to abandon our religious identity. J.

Where Christians Are Hunted: Are the Ruling Elite Behind the Mass Genocide of Christians in Nigeria?

Updated: July 17, 2018 at 6:21 am EST

Christians in Nigeria face death each and every day. While the world community looks on, these Christians are hunted by terror groups and herdsman. However, the question arises as to who exactly is behind these groups. Up until recently, the majority of attacks against Christians in Nigeria originated from the terror group Boko Haram, however, as of late, and according to Emmanuel Ogebe, these new attacks are coming from a group called Fulanis. “What we have is a genocide. They are trying to displace the Christians, they are trying to possess their land and they are trying to impose their religion on the so-called infidels and pagans who they consider Christians to be,” explained international human rights attorney Emmanuel Ogebe. Fulanis are Muslim tribal herdsmen and their weapon of choice in an Ak-47. However, the majority of tribal herdsmen are rather poor, and according to Felix Oisamoje, they would have to sell their entire cattle to afford an Ak-47. “Given what an AK-47 goes for, a Fulani herdsman would need to sell all of his cattle to be able to buy an AK-47,” explained CBN Nigeria Director Felix Oisamoje. Ogebe, who has lost family members in Nigeria, says that there is a sinister side to these attacks. “A lot of these cattle are owned by very rich Fulanis who are in government and who are in power. So, there is a strong belief that the Fulanis, the ruling elite are actually funding the herdsmen to conduct these attacks,” he said. Incredibly, in Nigeria, it would appear, according to Ogebe, as though sections of the Nigerian government are behind these attacks. The increase in violence by the herdsman is making Nigeria a far more deadly land for people of the faith, even though Nigeria is already the most dangerous place in the world for Christians. According to the Global Terrorism Index; Fulani Herdsman have killed roughly 60,000 people since 2001. However, this year alone they have killed approximately 6,000 Christians so far.

Is Australia’s Vaccine Policy A Nightmare Or A “Pogrom”?

July 15, 2018 By Catherine J. Frompovich

The term ‘pogrom’ has multiple meanings, ascribed most often to the deliberate persecution of an ethnic or religious group either approved or condoned by the local authorities. (Source)

The people of Australia are being denied by law one of the most important inalienable rights of human existence, the ability to choose how to take care of one’s children and their bodies, plus the exercise of their basic human right to freedom of choice in healthcare invoking the heretofore scientific-acknowledgement “to cope with possible risks where scientific understanding is yet incomplete, such as the risks of nano technology, genetically modified organisms and systemic insecticides” [1], aka the Precautionary Principle, to avoid damage from neurotoxic vaccines. Nano technology and genetically modified organisms are IN vaccines! I hereby challenge Big Pharma and vaccine makers to prove me wrong! The Australian government seemingly has gone off the rails relative to the punitive measures it has instituted against citizens who elect not to have their children or themselves be poisoned and/or damaged by neurotoxic vaccines, which literally are killing children. Here is a report of two recent toddler deaths almost immediately after vaccinations, which happened in Samoa. Even the HRSA vaccine compensation website reports that 1,219 deaths from vaccines were filed with the vaccine court. [2] Dr. Wilyman’s website is where you can find more definitive information regarding vaccine/vaccination ‘politics’ in Australia. However, Australia is not unique; the vaccine ‘pogrom’ is a global agenda, which has ruined the health of two generations of children globally. Below is important vaccine information presented in Sydney on June 30, 2018, which will help healthcare consumers understand what’s involved in the politics of vaccines. The venue was held secret until a few hours before the presentation so as to prevent it from being scuttled by organized opposition groups who defame all who point to the dangers in vaccines.

People were asked to use a pointer to identify one country on the map

Several could not come up with one

Others named continents instead of countries, or mixed up Alaska with Iceland

The United Nations recognizes 195 different countries in the world today, and it's safe to say that most people couldn't plot all of them on a map. But to be unable to point out that location of a single one? Well, that's alarming, to say the least. But when the late night team at Jimmy Kimmel Live! recently asked people walking down the street in Hollywood to identify any one country on a map, they encountered several who were completely stumped. 'It’s imperative that America has strong relationships with and knowledge about people in other lands,' Kimmel said in his introduction to the segment last week, referencing Donald Trump's current overseas trip. 'And that responsibility extends to all of us, not just the president. So we came up with a test. The test is very simple. We went out on the street and asked people who were passing by to name a country on a map. That’s it. 'We had a map. We said name a country, any country. And here's how that went.' By the tone of his introduction, it's clear immediately that it didn't go all that well. While there were likely plenty of people who were up to the task, Kimmel's team was able to find several who weren't, and edited them together in a funny yet depressing clip. 'Honestly, my geography's so horrible,' one woman says right away, when given a pointer. 'I can't name anything. Like nothing.' She then puts the pointer on the continent of South America, and asks if it's South Africa. When asked to identify America, she points at Russia, and guesses that Australia is Europe. Next up, a man points to Russia and asks if it's Asia. Asia, of course, is a continent, not a country. The man also correctly identifies Africa — though, like Asia, that is also a continent and not a country. Another woman also picks out Africa, thinking it's a country. When asked to name a country in Africa, she asks, 'Who knows stuff like that?' Africa has 54 sovereign states, as well as 10 non-sovereign territories. Countries there include Algeria, Angola, Botswana, Cameroon, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Libya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Morocco, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Somalia, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zimbabwe, among others. One man points to Alaska and guesses that it's Greenland or Iceland, while another woman gets a confused look on her face and asks, 'Shouldn't I be taught this in school?' Some of the confusion likely came from the map that the show used, which is not the traditional one that most people in the US are used to seeing. Most maps place North and South American on the left, and Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia on the right, which this one was a shifted — but no less accurate — view. The shapes of the countries and their proximity to one another remained the same. Luckily, the clip showed that not all hope was lost. The last person to appear in the video was a boy who appeared to be about middle school-aged. He correctly pointed out several countries in a row, starting with South America — Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Peru — before moving up to North America and Greenland. He then made his way to Australia, New Zealand, and Papua New Guinea before the clip ended.

'MSM Dies In Broad Daylight' - Media Trump Derangement Syndrome Roundup Shows The Disease Has Hit Epidemic Proportions

July 16, 2018 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

The media's Trump Derangement Syndrome is contagious and they continue to deliberately spread it throughout the "Resistance" movement. After documenting the dozens of examples of media malpractice, lies, outright fake news, misleading headlines, retractions, deletions, corrections and apologies, over the past couple of years, I still find myself shaking my head in disgust when browsing through the news online and see a series of examples that prove Trump Derangement Syndrome has gotten even worse among those that consider themselves the media elite. #AWKWARD HASHTAG BACKFIRES ON MULTIPLE JOURNALISTS In their never-ending rush to mislead, or to find something, anything to insult or degrade President Trump, multiple journalists rushed to Twitter to "inform" their followers/readers that President Trump told Finnish President Sauli Niinistö "I enjoyed being with you a couple of days ago. NATO has, I think, never been stronger. It was a little bit tough at the beginning, but it turned out to be love. I appreciated your support." Had they all stopped right there, they would have reported something that actually happened, but they didn't stop there. Each of these so-called reporters, which includes Henry Foy from Financial Times, Josh Rogin, a Washington Post analyst and CNN commentator, Julie Davis, a NYT writer and CNN analyst, and Sebastian Fischer from Speigel Online, all informed their followers that Finland is not in NATO, with Rogin even using the hashtag #awkward to imply that President Trump screwed up and Niinistö wasn't at the NATO Summit. Julie Davis from New York Times was even more snarky, asking "Does he think Finland is in NATO?" Rather than rushing to drag the president, had any of them simply done even ten seconds of research, (like going to Finnish President Sauli Niinistö's Twitter page), they would have known that while he is not a member of NATO, he was at the NATO summit, and had posted images during the event. Not bad enough these "journalists" couldn't be bothered to find out that the Finnish president was at the NATO summit, but between them all they had their very misleading "news" retweeted more than 8,000 times, with over 19,000 likes. Each of the 8,000+ retweets then went out to all the followers of those that shared the Fake News. Comments in their original tweets call Trump clueless, saying President Trump doesn't share the same reality, calling him "colossally stupid," and on and on it goes. So they misinform their readers, then those readers go out and spread the same misinformation to their followers, and now because those media personalities are so sick with Trump Derangement Syndrome, they have managed to mislead thousands and thousands of Americans. Granted, there are some in those comments trying to correct the record, offer the facts and proof that the reporters got it wrong, but those are barely acknowledged. In a subsequent tweet Rogin did acknowledge "The Finnish President did attend the NATO summit in Brussels." That was offered just two minutes after the initial tweet which stated "Trump told the Finnish President Just now he enjoyed spending time with him at the NATO summit. Finland is not part of NATO. #awkward @jaketapper @camanpour." While his original tweet, two minutes before, had garnered 2.4K retweets, his correction only garnered 84 retweets. Their TDS is highly contagious and the fact that it spreads so quickly with every misleading story or message, shows why Trump Derangement Syndrome has become an epidemic at this point throughout the "Resistance." THIS IS WHAT THE MEDIA HAS BECOME Moving along because different media outlets have been very busy as well. Huffington Post provides an example of exactly what "journalism" has become today. "A tape might exist of Trump doing something in an elevator, though exactly where that somewhere is and what that something might be, no one in media can say. That’s because no one in media seems to have seen the tape — or is even confident it exists." - HuffPo promo, June 14, 2018

Not only is that what they chose to use as a promotion for an article, the quote was taken directly from the article itself. Some even thought it was a parody or satire, but it wasn't. HuffPo truly thought it was "news." Then we look to the New York Times opinion page, where their Trump Derangement Syndrome has gone so far over the line, they have managed to annoy liberals and conservatives and pretty much everyone in between. That takes talent! They shared a 1:12 second video titled "Trump and Putin: A Love Story," which depicted homosexual relations between the two leaders, with the message in their promotion stating "In this episode of Trump Bites, Donald Trump’s not-so-secret admiration for Vladimir Putin plays out in a teenager’s bedroom, where the fantasies of this forbidden romance come to life." Their Twitter thread from this post is a hot mess, conservatives and far left liberals are shredding them. CNN commentator Symone Sanders tells NYT "This is homophobic." When you have people from CNN criticizing the nature of your insults against President Trump, you know you jumped the shark. The clip is below, but FAIR WARNING, it is pretty offensive. Brian Sims, Democratic member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives and LGBT activist, agrees with Sanders, stating "@nytimes this isn’t just intensely stupid it’s homophobic as all hell. What on Earth makes you think that equating the love that millions of people across the planet feel for one another to the unconscionably criminal relationship between these two is OK?!? Truly, please explain." Another user that calls himself a "snarkish homosexual," piles on the NYT, stating "This annoys me so damn much. So many people who say how much they love LGBT people but think this is hilarious." That is just a small sample from liberals and LGBT activists, but the entire thread is full of criticisms from the left, the right, and the center. One specific comment on that thread pretty much captures the theme of the rest of them, as well as this article, when user Lady Stevie says "MSM dies in Broad Daylight." MSM: THE OPPOSITION PARTY OR ACTIVISTS? We have documented multiple instances where so-called reporters have carried on at press conference, shouting out at inappropriate times, disrespecting their own colleagues who were tagged to ask a question, and basically grandstanding and making themselves the story instead of reporting the news, and it happened again on Monday. The Nation's Op-Ed reporter, Sam Husseini, had to be forcibly removed from the press briefing room by Finnish officials, before President Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin, appeared to take questions. Husseini was reportedly holding up a sign that said "Nuclear Weapon Ban Treaty," when an official tried to take the sign, which led to a scuffle before multiple officials joined in to forcibly remove him. The event was tweeted out by White House Correspondent for Breitbart News, Charlie Spiering, as it was happening, where he stated "A bit of a scuffle in the press briefing room after a reporter from The Nation was holding up a sign protesting nuclear weapons - he was escorted out by Finnish officials." (Note- Some reports say it was Secret Service that removed Husseini) Of course there is video of it. BOTTOM LINE Today's outrage by the perpetually outraged with Trump Derangement Syndrome, is the Trump/Putin meeting and press conference, but that isn't really news because everyone knew they would squeal in horror before the meeting even took place. The bottom line here is that the media these days are too far gone, the TDS has infected at least 90 percent of what is generally called the mainstream media, who in turn, is busy spreading the disease to the #Resistance. They are not reporters, nor journalists, they have become the opposition party, the propaganda arm of the Democrats, and their TDS has reached epidemic proportions.

BOOM! Russian President Reveals $400 Million sent to Hillary Campaign !

Category: U.S. National News Monday, 16 July 2018 12:16

UPDATED 3:00 PM EDT (SEE BOTTOM) In an astonishing revelation spoken by Russia President Vladimir Putin during a joint press conference with President Trump, the world now knows that a man named Browder earned over $1.5 BILLION in Russia, and snuck the money out without paying taxes - with $400 MILLION of that money having been sent to the Hillary Clinton Campaign!!!!!! This information was revealed when a reporter from Reuters asked Putin if Russia would send the 12 men Indicted by Special Counsel Mueller, to the US for trial. Putin replied that there is a Mutual Law Enforcement Assistance Treaty between the US and Russia since 1999, and Russia WILL PERMIT Special Counsel Mueller and his team to travel to Russia to take part in any interrogation of the 12 men. BUT IN RETURN, Russia wants the same treatment under that Mutual Law Enforcement Treaty with regards to a man named Mr. Browder. Putin said: "Mr. Browder and his associates earned over $1.5 Billion in Russia and evacuated the money without paying any taxes. He paid no taxes in Russia or the United States. They sent a huge contribution, $400 million, to Hillary Clinton's Campaign. If the US wants Russia to cooperate on the 12 men, then Russia wants the same cooperation on Mr. Browder." Folks, this is the single most gigantic revelation to come out of the entire Helsinki Summit between Trump and Putin. The President of Russia himself has now revealed Hillary Clinton got cash (earned in Russia) far in excess of allowable campaign finance limits. The ONLY way that cash could find its way into her campaign without raising red flags with the Federal Election Commission, is if was LAUNDERED. Money Laundering is a FEDERAL FELONY for which Hillary Clinton can be arrested and jailed because the Statute of Limitations has not run out. Hal Turner Commentary Folks, those of us who have supported President Trump, have waited for this day for over two years. Her vile criminality was suspected by most of us, but now the proof is out for all the world to see. LOCK HER UP. Her and all the others who were involved in this money laundering. Hillary and likely the majority of the Democrat National Committee apparatus, extending perhaps down to STATE Democratic Party apparatus, CHEATED in an effort to steal the US Presidency. Her cheating failed. LOCK HER UP. I have video of President Putin's revelation uploaded below so you can hear it and see it for yourselves. But aside from The Hal Turner Radio Show web site, how many other media outlets will even bother to report these facts?

Orwellian Purge Of Natural Health Facebook Pages Began The Same Time This 'Marriage Made In Hell' Was Consummated

- Merger Of Bayer And Monsanto Will Create Dark New Drugs, Brewed In The Cauldrons Of Hades

By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

In this July 13th over at Activist Post that Steve Quayle linked to on his website on Saturday, they reported that Facebook has recently 'purged' the pages of more than 80 different independent media outlets and other groups, groups which had more than 40 million Facebook followers combined. And while some claim that this 'purge' is in response to calls for Facebook to further police what some call 'fake news', as the Activist Post story points out, a huge percentage of pages being 'purged' were alternative HEALTH pages, pages to website's and groups that weren't the least bit 'political' but were geared towards helping Americans survive health problems WITHOUT the poisons created in labs by 'big pharma'. As Jake Passi, the founder of the website 'Collectively Conscious', as well as one of the victims of 'the Facebook purge' had to say, "this is a crime against humanity”. Passi called this purge a "deleting rampage" and it's just the latest proof that we've gotten that the 'big pharma mafia' has gone on an all-out war against the human race. With even President Trump recently calling them out on Twitter for continuing to raise the prices upon prescription drugs (YES! POISONS!), is the 'big pharma mafia' now striking back? And with this 'purge' of popular alternative health Facebook pages coming at the same time as a still expanding list of mysteriously dead holistic doctors and other natural health care practitioners, we find that it's probably not just a coincidence that this 'purge' of alternative health web pages from Facebook began in June of 2018, the same month that the merger made in hell between Bayer and Monsanto was completed. With the merger between Monsanto and Bayer creating the world's largest agrochemical company and the largest holder and supplier of seeds and pesticides in the world (despite Bayer selling its seeds division to BASF SE), we have to ask: "What happens when a company with ties to Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany's extermination of millions merges with a company long known as the most evil corporation in the world?" Well, we're about to find out and if the Facebook purge of alternative health pages is any indication, the big pharma terrorists are in Facebook's driver's seat and now the merger makes Bayer/Monsanto a $63 billion mega-corporate beast that obviously doesn't have humanity's best interests in mind if we look at their pasts. First, a bit more about Monsanto and this merger from the Alberton Record: “Bayer will remain the company name. Monsanto will no longer be a company name. The acquired products will retain their brand names and become part of the Bayer portfolio,” Reuters reported. Fortune pointed out that name-changes during acquisitions are unusual, especially when a company is very recognizable. But as one of the world’s most hated companies, losing the Monsanto name was expected as it was probably Bayer’s best way forward. Banned and highly toxic chemicals Monsanto’s historical line-up of products includes banned and highly toxic chemicals such as 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (a dioxin-containing component of the defoliant Agent Orange); PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyl); and Lasso (RoundUp), a herbicide banned in Europe. Glyphosate, the main ingredient in Monsanto’s best-selling weedkiller RoundUp, is the most widely used pesticide in the world and likely the most controversial. Monsanto is also the largest maker of genetically modified (GMO) seeds, giving them major hand control of the world food supply. Genetically modified seeds Monsanto, the largest, but not the only, maker of genetically modified seeds, has borne the brunt of environmentalists’ opposition to the technology. The US seed maker has also been criticized for pursuing its intellectual property rights with farmers, many of which depend on its seeds. Activists have also condemned the company’s pursuit of lawsuits against small farmers to protect its patents on seeds. And while Bayer was quite quick to dump the Monsanto name and for good reason, a look back at their long history and ties to the Nazi Germany death and war machine of Adolf Hitler has given absolute proof to the world that Bayer was just as evil as Monsanto in their day with Bayer tied directly to Auschwitz, Germany death camps. As this story from I-Lawsuit titled "The Dark History Of Bayer Drugs" reports, Bayer's long and dark history in the medical industry continues to this very day. Founded in 1863 by Friedrich Bayer and Johann Wescott in Barmen, Germany, the evil stench wafting from this deadly duo should help to explain why Facebook is purging so many alternative health pages this moment. From this September of 2016 story from People's World: Bayer’s new deal to buy Monsanto breaks records not only due to its size but because of its evil smell – and not only due to Monsanto’s reputation for deadly trails of everything from disappearing wild flowers and butterflies to poverty-stricken family farmers forced to buy its seeds and pesticides. Bayer, perhaps best known for its aspirins or other useful medicines, also has a trail marked with death, but in far, far greater numbers. It was Bayer, together with two other chemical giants, BASF and Hoechst, which developed the terrible chlorine gas used in World War I. In 1925, the three formed a giant cartel, IG Farben, which became the world’s leader in pharmaceuticals, dyes, and chemicals. During the early 1930s, IG Farben became the single largest donor to the election campaign of Adolf Hitler. Although it was slightly reluctant at first, because some of its key scientists were Jewish, in the decisive year before Hitler won power, IG Farben donated 400,000 marks to him and his Nazi party. This was amply rewarded. IG Farben, with Bayer, became the single largest profiteer of German conquests in World War II. While America is suffering through a deadly opioid crisis, the 'big pharma terrorist' drug pushers never do any jail time, quite similar to the corrupted deep state including James Comey, Peter Strzok, John Brennan, James Clapper, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama never being held accountable for their crimes against the American people despite a laundry list of them including treason. According to this October of 2017 story over at the Washington Post , 'big pharma' actually funded terrorism in Iraq during the Bush and Obama years with a lawsuit filed by 108 US Veterans seeking to hold big pharma responsible for the deaths and injuries of US service members carried out by 'big pharma' funded 'death squads'. As Fierce Pharma also reported back in October of 2017, the "lawsuit alleges that top pharma companies Pfizer, Roche, Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca paid bribes to secure healthcare contracts in Iraq. Those payments ultimately supported terrorism that hurt or killed U.S. service members, the plaintiffs alleged." While each of these pharmaceutical companies categorically deny the claims, as Common Dreams reported in April of 2018, there is no doubt that 'big pharma' should qualify for capital punishment under President Trump's recent call for the death penalty for drug dealers. From the Common Dreams story: In a TIME magazine article a young man named Chad Colwell says "I got prescribed painkillers, Percocet and Oxycontin, and then it just kind of took off from there." According to TIME's reporting, "Prescriptions gave way to cheaper, stronger alternatives. Why scrounge for a $50 pill of Percocet when a tab of heroin can be had for $5?" About 75% of heroin addicts used prescription opioids before turning to heroin. Any questions about Big Pharma's role in violence and death in America have been answered by the Centers for Disease Control and the American Journal of Public Health. Any doubts about Big Pharma's intentions to intimidate the public have been put to rest by the many occasions of outrageous price gouging. And any uncertainty about political pressure is removed by its #1 lobbying ranking. As for malicious intentions, Bernie Sanders noted, "We know that pharmaceutical companies lied about the addictive impacts of opioids they manufactured." Purdue Pharma knew all about the devastating addictive effects of its painkiller Oxycontin, and even pleaded guilty in 2007 to misleading regulators, doctors, and patients about the drug’s risk. Now Purdue and other drug companies are facing a lawsuit for "deceptively marketing opioids" and ignoring the misuse of their drugs. No jail for the opioid pushers, though, just slap-on-the-wrist fines that can be made up with a few price increases. But partly as a result of Pharma-related violence, Americans are suffering "deaths of despair"— death by drugs, alcohol and suicide. Suicide is at its highest level in 30 years. According to this July 14th story over at The Express, scientists have recently made a huge breakthrough in their search for a deadly disease that could wipe out humanity, finding two new viruses that could lead to a 'disease X' outbreak. As their story reports, the 'Predict Project' has been scouring through the animal kingdom in an attempt to discover viruses "which could one day mutate and wipe out humanity". And while we think that preparation is great and everybody should be prepared for anything that might be coming, for scientists to be seeking out such a virus at a time when practically anybody can become a mad scientist with CRISPR technology reeks of insanity. And knowing the history of corporations such as Bayer and Monsanto and their merging of two evils should be enough to concerned with mega-corporations that have proven they could care less about human life combining into one large entity that has its hands in not only the food that we eat but the water we drink and the air we breath, just imagine the dark new drugs they might create to kill off humanity, brewed in their cauldrons of hell. As Steve Quayle tells us, through that tampering with our water, food supply and air, what they're doing is a form of pre-extermination, "if they can't kill all who were created in God's image and likeness, they'll genetically modify the original genetic blueprint out of existence". Once again, a look at 'Today's Bayer' from this People's World story proves that even the Bayer-Monsanto merger can't erase Bayer's Nazi chemists pasts nor the evil stench that comes into the air whenever the word 'Monsanto' is mentioned. Today’s Bayer Those wartime IG Farben men are all dead, but their companies flourish. And Bayer has been accused in recent years of unethical medical experiments, selling drugs shown to be risky, hindering developing countries from developing vital medications, and using imported materials produced by child labour. The most serious charge, perhaps, is that a Bayer subsidiary, H.C. Starck, was partly responsible for the long, bloody civil war in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which involved the winning of various minerals but above all the valuable coltran, of which it is the main producer. Until now, sibling BASF was the largest chemical firm in the world. If the deal holds, it will now be overtaken by Bayer-Monsanto. Any hopes that Bayer will somehow be bettered in its ways under the influence of Monsanto seem at the least unrealistic. Does Facebook's purge of alternative health pages beginning in June of 2018 have anything at all to do with the merger of Monsanto and Bayer, also finalized in June of 2018? With natural health practitioners apparently being knocked off and 'big tech' launching an all-out war upon natural health, it's quite easy to see the globalists satanic agenda if we look closely enough and evidence shows, it doesn't include you and me.

Trump is branded 'treasonous' by ex-CIA chief John Brennan after siding with Putin over his OWN intelligence experts in election meddling row, as Russian leader admits he wanted The Donald to win

The Obama-era intelligence chief said Trump's performance amounted to 'high crimes and misdemeanours'

U.S. President Donald Trump came face-to-face with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, Finland

Trump said he hoped for 'extraordinary relationship' with Moscow and praised Russia's hosting of World Cup

The Russian leader denied meddling in the 2016 election but admitted he had wanted Trump to beat Clinton

Trump backed up Putin's denials and contradicted the FBI by saying Russia had no reason to interfere in 2016

In a lighthearted moment Putin gave Trump a ball from the World Cup which he threw to his wife Melania

Trump admitted ties between the two countries had 'never been worse' but said the situation had changed

By Julian Robinson and Chris Pleasance and Tim Stickings For Mailonline and Reuters and Ap Published: 07:14 EDT, 16 July 2018 | Updated: 03:52 EDT, 17 July 2018

A former director of the CIA has accused Donald Trump of 'treason' after the President's summit with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Helsinki. Trump hailed 'direct, open and deeply productive talks' with Putin and accepted the Russian leader's insistence that Moscow had not interfered in the 2016 presidential election. John Brennan, who led U.S. intelligence under Barack Obama, wrote on Twitter: 'Donald Trump's press conference performance in Helsinki rises to & exceeds the threshold of 'high crimes & misdemeanors'. It was nothing short of treasonous.' He went on: 'Not only were Trump's comments imbecilic, he is wholly in the pocket of Putin. Republican Patriots: Where are you???' Putin admitted he had hoped Trump would defeat Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, saying: 'I wanted him to win because he talked about normalising Russian-American relations.' Trump backed up Putin's denials about meddling in 2016, when Brennan was CIA chief, saying he thought Russia had no reason to interfere in the election and contradicting his country's own FBI which believes Moscow was responsible for hacking during the campaign. It comes as:

Trump winked at his Russian counterpart and said their countries' relations had 'never been worse' until the summit;

The President faced a backlash from fellow Republicans for accepting Putin's denials of interference in the 2016 election;

The Russian leader said Moscow could lead the interrogation of 12 hacking suspects and said US officials could ask to be present;

Putin said 'the ball is in your court' after giving Trump a football from the 2018 World Cup, which he threw to his wife Melania;

The Russian President denied the existence of a 'dossier' of compromising information on the US President;

Putin praised Trump for his efforts to secure peace in North Korea and said he had 'built dialogue' in a 'spirit of co-operation.

Brennan also criticised Trump for meeting Putin one-on-one, saying: 'What might he be hiding from Bolton, Pompeo, Kelly, & the American public? 'How will Putin use whatever Trump could be hiding to advantage Russia & hurt America? Trump's total lack of credibility renders spurious whatever explanation he gives.' As well as Brennan's comments the President came under from Republican colleagues back home, where Senator Lindsey Graham described the meeting as a 'missed opportunity' and said it would send a message of U.S. weakness. Senate colleague Jeff Flake said: 'I never thought I would see the day when our American President would stand on the stage with the Russian President and place blame on the United States for Russian aggression. This is shameful.' Meanwhile the chamber's top Democrat Chuck Schumer accused President Donald Trump of a 'shameful performance'. He said it was 'thoughtless, dangerous and weak' for Trump to take Putin's word that Russia didn't meddle in the 2016 U.S. elections. Trump said that 'we've all been foolish... we've both made mistakes' and that today's summit at the Finnish Presidential Palace was the beginning of a process of restoring ties. 'It is in the interest of both of our countries to continue our conversation and we have agreed to do so,' Trump said, having earlier shot a wink at the Kremlin strongman.

Trump Brings the Secret Space Program Out Into the Open- Is Disclosure Next?

President Trump takes over Air Force Space Command. He says he is creating spa but that is false. The secret space program has been around for a long, very long time.

There is so much volatility going on in America, that the majority of us have overlooked a very important story and that is a defacto admission of a secret space program that is militarized!

Trump Is Violating An Existing Treaty

President Trump has been hinting for months that he was going to create a separate branch of the military related to outer space that is being referred to as the Space Force. Trump, in effect, says that he is militarizing space. Trump is publicly giving the Outer Space Treaty the big middle finger as the treaty is recognized by over 100 nations including the U.S. The treaty prohibits military action in space. Space Policy Directive This announcement came during a Jun 18, 2018 meeting of the US Space Council in which President Trump signed his third Space Policy Directive. This directive, on the surface, says that it will manage space traffic, minimize space debris and monitor orbiting spacecraft. This directive creates the first new US military branch since the Air Force was created in 1947. The MSM has ignored this development, for the most part as well as the Independent Media  Unfortunately, for the arena of military secrets, the President is not doing a very good job of lying.  John Logsdon is the former director of the Space Policy Institute at George Washington University and he recently stated: The U.S. military has been very active in space for 60 years…This is not some breaking point of militarizing space Vickie Sutton, a space law expert and former assistant director in the White House Science Office under George W. Bush, stated: Several recent actions, such as the China maneuver where they targeted their own satellite to attack and created thousands of pieces of space debris in a demonstration of their ability to target a space object, as well as other overtures by other nations, make it essential that we have defensive capability. When I saw the following on Fox News, I instantly recognized this for what it was. From Fox News: …while touting successes around the globe, and even suggesting the creation of a new military branch — the “Space Force.” The president spoke to thousands of military men and women at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in San Diego, Calif., Tuesday, following his visit to review border wall prototypes.

…“We are finally going to lead again. Very soon, we’re going to Mars —you wouldn’t be going to Mars if my opponent won. You wouldn’t even be thinking of it,” Trump said, in a swipe at Hillary Clinton.

That’s when the president went on to introduce his “new national strategy for space.”

“Space is a war-fighting domain, just like the land, air and sea,” Trump said. “We may even have a Space Force — we have the Air Force, we’ll have the Space Force, you know, the Army, the Navy.”

He added: “I said, maybe we need a new force, I was not really serious, but now I’m thinking that’s a great idea. We’re making a Space Force. Tremendous.”…

Relevant Background On the surface, President Trump is going to bring the secret space program (militarized) out of the shadows of secrecy. He also plans to eliminate its black budget funding and make the program a line item with Presidential and congressional oversight. I was told this was coming, I just did not believe it. As I have previously published, I knew about the secret space program since 1983 when my father told me of it when his health began to fail. However, I could not reveal anything publicly until my mother’s passing in 2011 because she was receiving his two pensions and would have lost them if it was revealed that my father disclosed secret and classified information. I did have some private conversations about this situation with the late Jim Marr’s who flew to Phoenix to meet me in secret so we could compare notes. Also, the late Bill Pawelec (CIA), a close friend, and Vance Davis, another close friend, knew what I knew. After my mother’s passing, I began to open up and I first revealed all on Doug Hagmann’s show and then here on The Common Sense Show. It is clear to me that Trump is transferring the control of the secret space program from Deep State to elected government. However, he is doing so under the ruse that the program is one under development instead of the truth that this a direct transfer of oversight. Make no mistake about it, this is a direct stab at the Deep State who has controlled this program for its own purposes and profit. Personally, I am surprised that Trump has gotten this far with this bold move without JFK type of consequences. Where Does This Information Come From? People might be wondering, where is the proof for the existence of this program besides the word of the people cited in this report as well as the reporting of what my father told me? I attended an invitation only meeting at the home of Bill Pawelec (see Steven Greer Disclosure Project). The meeting was held in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains, north of Albuquerque, New Mexico, in 1997. It was at this meeting, and 12 years after the passing of my father, that I witnessed the manifestation of his work in Operation Paper Clip. I had privately revealed to Bill what I knew about the secret space program. Bill was fully aware, as a CIA contract agent he worked with my father in his last duty assignment in Westminster, CO., at Sundstrand Electric. Bill knew my father. Bill Pawelec played video clips that had been captured from the space shuttle automatic camera. What I saw at this meeting is why NASA no longer plays live feeds from space. I witnessed two craft firing on each other with what appeared to tracer, light-beam type of weapons. Those of you who are familiar with various STS missions, which have aired on network TV in UFO documentaries, will have a vague idea of what I was shown. I further saw a large pulse beam of light fired from South America and watched as it passed by the Space Shuttle’s camera. The year was 1997 and this the stuff of science fiction. And please remember, the Internet was just getting started and there was no YouTube. There will be those that believe that this program is about defense, not just of America, but of the planet from outside forces. That was not the opinion of my father, he saw the secret space program of being one that pitted America against the Soviets and any and all future players. However, this view does reflect what Jim Marrs, Vance Davis and Bill Pawelec believed. One has to wonder about Trump’s timing. If there are ET’s (eg fallen angels, or otherwise), is this a prelude to disclosure?

The Left is Always Wrong: Election Meddling Edition

By Tom Trinko July 16, 2018

Twelve Russians have been indicted for hacking the DNC and releasing DNC emails showing that the DNC had violated its own rules and worked against Bernie and for Hillary in the primaries. Leftists are talking about the Russians meddling in the U.S. election as a result. The problem is that while hacking the DNC is illegal and the Russians should be prosecuted, how can telling the voters that the DNC conspired against Bernie be considered “meddling” in our election? Doesn’t the Washington Post say that “Democracy dies in darkness”? Which means that if the voters don’t know the truth they can’t vote intelligently. Given that the DNC admits the veracity of the emails, isn’t the voters finding about the DNC’s efforts to suppress a democratic socialist like Bernie using light to remove the darkness? Think about this: when NBC released the “Access Hollywood” tape did anyone on the left complain about election meddling? Though NBC claimed that only days before the tape was released someone suddenly remembered the tape, everyone knew, and TMZ stated, that NBC sat on the tape waiting to release it as an October Surprise. The release of the tape was clearly intended by NBC to influence the election -- otherwise they’d have released it sooner -- yet no one on the left worried about election meddling or collusion. On every issue the left has two standards; one for the left and one for everyone else. In this case, it’s perfectly fine when parties release false information that is damaging to Trump, but it’s the ultimate evil when someone releases accurate information that hurts a leftist; i.e. Hillary. But what about the fact that it was the Russians? Isn’t it worse when a foreigner meddles than when Americans do? Ask yourself if leftists would consider it meddling if right before the election a British “ex” spy tried to convince the media that a dossier he would later admit contained only unverified rumors from Russian sources that painted Trump in a very bad light was the real deal. Of course, you don’t need to ask yourself, since we know for a fact that Hillary paid an “ex” spy from Britain to produce a report full of “dirt” on Trump based on Russian sources. We know that Steele -- the “ex” spy -- produced such a document and that he told everyone that it was the real deal and that he would have known if his sources were lying even in cases where he never met the actual source. Well, he said that right up until he was sued in England by some of the people he mentioned in the dossier. Then he suddenly changed his tune and declared that the information in the dossier was only a place for a real investigation to start; that nothing in the report was verified. Steele’s unwillingness to defend in court the claims that he’d told the media and the FBI were all very reliable is clear and unambiguous proof that the dossier is all or mostly all lies. Because if Steele had actual evidence for any of the claims, he could present it in court and get out of a serious legal situation. That he’s not doing so even though it could save him from potentially very serious legal consequences shows that he doesn’t have any proof to back up his claims. Yet even though the left now knows that the dossier is bogus, which is why they are suddenly saying that the dossier wasn’t a key reason the investigation into Trump was started, they are not saying that its use was “meddling” in our election. That despite the rumors all coming from Russia and despite the person who vouched for those rumors being British. To the left, a factually incorrect report on Trump produced by a foreigner, based on sources solely from Russia, and used to attack Trump is not election meddling. But the Russians leaking factual DNC emails showing that the DNC had lied to Democrat voters about being impartial and had, in fact, violated its own rules and worked hard to torpedo Bernie, democratic socialist par excellence, is election meddling. What makes the whole story even more bizarre is that, as with all of Mueller’s indictments, there is no claim that the crimes involve any collusion related to the election between the Russians and anyone in Trump’s campaign. In fact, the FBI made it clear that no Americans were indicted along with the Russian “hackers.” Yet the left is already generating #FakeNews that this latest indictment is bad news for Trump. Another interesting issue is that the same leftists who are having a fit over Trump’s “collusion” aren’t bothered by the fact that the full power of the U.S. intelligence establishment was turned against the Trump campaign. They’re also not bothered by the fact that political appointees in the Obama administration, i.e. not supposedly neutral civil servants, unmasked the names Americans whose calls were monitored. If the ruling Democratic party using national intelligence assets to listen in to the inner workings of the Trump campaign isn’t election “meddling” then it’s unclear what is. Essentially the leftists are saying that it’s kosher for the government to spy on Trump’s campaign to help Hillary. To use a poker analogy, it’s like one player using a spotter who sees the other player’s cards; but then to the fascist left, where winning is all that matters, anything that helps them is fair game. Remember, the modern left still calls out Watergate, where some Republicans tried to illegally get intelligence on the Democrat campaign, as the worst thing ever. Yet now when it’s clear that Obama/Hillary did the same thing, but succeeded because they managed to subvert the FBI, far worse than anything Nixon did, leftists say that nothing bad happened. Watergate was wrong but condemning it while not caring about the FBI spying on a political candidate is hypocrisy at its worst. But many Americans who get their news from the leftist media won’t hear the truth or take the time to figure out the obvious hypocrisy in the left’s claims. It’s up to you to talk to your friends, coworkers, and relatives. No need to be confrontational. Just mention how it’s horrible that the Russians meddled in the election by peddling fake rumors about Trump to a foreign agent Hillary hired. Ask them if Democrat political operatives, whose jobs had no relation into any investigation of Trump, reading intelligence collected from the Trump campaign where the names of U.S. citizens were revealed strikes them as meddling. Ask them if they feel that their knowing about how the DNC persecuted Bernie is bad thing, would they rather have been kept in the dark? Ask them if they think that the Washington Post will change its slogan to “Democracy dies when the voters know too much.”?

Cease-fire appears to hold after barrage of Israel-Hamas airstrikes

Fox News

A cease-fire that ended a 24-hour round of fighting between Israel and Hamas appeared to be in effect despite warnings from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of incendiary kites and balloons from Gaza. The Israeli military carried out its largest wave of airstrikes in Gaza since the 2014 war, hitting several Hamas military compounds and flattening a number of its training camps. Two Palestinian teenagers were killed while four Israelis were wounded from a rocket that landed on a residential home. The fighting threatened to devolve into an all-out war before the Egypt-mediated crease-fire appeared to be accepted by both sides. Israel’s military said several mortar shells were fired even after Hamas announced the cease-fire as sirens warning of incoming projectiles wailed in Israel overnight again. The military struck the mortar launcher early Sunday but the calm held, with neither side appearing eager to resume hostilities. Netanyahu said on Sunday that Israel would not accept a cease-fire unless it included an end to all militant hostilities, including the use of incendiary kites and balloons that have devastated nearby Israel farmlands and nature reserves. "The Israeli military has delivered its most punishing blow against Hamas since the 2014 war. I hope they got the message. If not, they will get it later on," he said at the weekly cabinet meeting. Israel said it unleashed Saturday's barrage in response to weeks of violence along Gaza's border — including a grenade attack Friday that wounded an officer — as well as sustained Hamas rocket attacks and a campaign of incendiary devices floating over the border. Hamas responded with more than 200 projectiles toward Israel communities, evoking memories of the three wars the sides have waged over the past decade. Israel said its Iron Dome defense system shot down more than 20 projectiles. Israel also destroyed several Hamas attack tunnels, as well as factories involved in the production of the incendiary kites and balloons, and a Hamas battalion headquarters in northern Gaza. "We have no intention of tolerating rockets, kites, drones or anything," said Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman. "I hope that Hamas will draw conclusions and if not, they will have to pay a heavy price." Speaking to thousands attending the two teenagers' funeral, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh vowed to continue Gaza protests and to take revenge for the teens. He also met with the U.N. Mideast envoy, Nickolay Mladenov, who urged both sides to maintain calm "Yesterday we were on the brink of war, and it has taken the concerted efforts of everyone to make sure that we step back from confrontation," Mladenov said in Gaza. "Everybody needs to take a step back." Israel has been warning Hamas that while it has no interest in exacerbating hostilities, it will not tolerate Gaza militants' continued efforts to breach the border and its campaign of incendiary attacks on Israeli border communities. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Syrian army says it captures strategic hill overlooking Israeli border

Suleiman Al-Khalidi

AMMAN (Reuters) - The Syrian army and its allies have taken control of a strategic hill overlooking the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights as it pushes forward with an offensive to seize the remaining parts of the southwest from rebels, state tv and rebels said on Monday. It said the army had taken control of al-Haara hill on the second day of an offensive to take back the last parts of southwest Syria in Quneitra province that are in rebel hands and are close to the border with Israel. The hilltop, which had a major anti-aircraft radar base that was part of elaborate Syrian army defenses against Israel, and is the highest ground in Deraa province, fell into rebel hands in October 2014. It has been heavily bombed by Russian and Syrian army raids in the past two days as the army has moved closer to the Israeli border after gaining control of most of Deraa province to the east in a push that began last June, according to rebels and a war monitor. A Syrian army source quoted by state media said the army had made territorial gains in Quneitra province where it seized the town of Mashara, about 11 km (7 miles) from the Golan frontier. Rebels said Russian and Syrian jets intensively bombed a string of rebel-held towns in Quneitra to force them to surrender in a strategy that offers rebels the choice of either evacuating to opposition-held areas or being recruited into state-run militias. The army said the rebel-held towns of Qusaiba, Sweisa and Ain Teineh had raised the national flag, but rebel sources said these towns were being bombarded into submission. TRUMP SAYS PUTIN BACKS ISRAEL’S SECURITY The violence is taking place a few kilometers away from the line marking the start of the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force zone, an area monitored by a U.N. force since 1974 in the wake of the Arab-Israeli War. Israel has threatened a “harsh response” to any attempt by Syrian forces to deploy in that zone. Israel does not want its enemies Iran and Hezbollah, both allies of Syrian President Bashar al Assad, who are well entrenched in that area, to move forces near its border. U.S. President Donald Trump said at a news conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday in Helsinki that both had agreed to work together to help ensure Israel’s security. Putin cited the need to restore the situation along the Golan borders to the state that prevailed before the outbreak of the Syrian crisis in 2011. Ahead of the summit, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met Putin in Moscow and on Sunday spoke to Trump about Iran and Syria and thanked him for his tough stance on Iran. A senior Israeli official said Netanyahu told Russia that Israel would not seek to topple its ally, Assad, but Moscow should encourage Iranian forces to quit Syria, a senior Israeli official said. The army offensive aims at completing its control of the strategic area known as the “Triangle of Death”, which connects southern the Damascus countryside with Deraa and Quneitra provinces. The area is a bastion of Iranian-backed militias including Hezbollah group, according to Western intelligence sources. Israel signaled it would not impede the Syrian army offensive in Quenitra as long as it steered away from the demilitarized zone, even as it struck Syrian army posts near the frontier and elsewhere in Syria where it suspects Iranian backed forces are stationed. Syria accused Israel on Sunday of attacking the Nairab air base in Aleppo on Sunday where a Western intelligence source said the Iranian military had a presence. There were reports that several officers, including Iranians, had been killed, the source said without elaborating. (This story has been corrected to change Syria accused Israel instead of accused Tel Aviv in the last paragraph) Reporting by Suleiman Al-Khalidi; Editing by Richard Balmforth

Up to 22 killed, including 9 Iranians, in Syria strike blamed on Israel – report

Earlier, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights put the death toll at 9, said raid targeted an Iranian Revolutionary Guard center

By Agencies and TOI staff 16 July 2018, 2:07 pm

Syrian rebel forces claimed that 22 people, including nine Iranians, were killed in an overnight strike in northern Syria blamed on Israel, the Qatar-based al-Jazeera network reported Monday. The figure, which could not be confirmed, was much higher than an earlier report of nine deaths provided by a Syrian watchdog group. The al-Jazeera report did not cite its sources or give any further details. Syrian state media has accused Israel of carrying out the bombing of a military position in Aleppo province late Sunday, in what would be a rare Israeli attack so far north in the war-ravaged country. “The Israeli missiles targeted an Iranian Revolutionary Guard center, near the Neyrab military airport,” said Rami Abdel Rahman, the head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based monitor. He said those killed included at least six Syrians, but could not specify the nationalities of the remaining fighters. The position is a logistics hub used to provide equipment and food to pro-regime forces fighting at nearby fronts, but it did not store weapons, Abdel Rahman said. Earlier Monday, the country’s official news agency SANA reported there was only damage to the site, identified as the Al-Nayrab airbase, adjacent to Aleppo’s international airport. “The Zionist enemy (Israel)… targeted with its missiles one of our military positions north of the Nayrab military airport, but the damage was only material,” SANA said citing a military source. Al-Nayrab has in the past been linked with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps militia. The Observatory, which relies on a network of sources inside the country, said it had recorded a wave of blasts around Nayrab on Sunday night. It said that a suspected Israeli missile strike had targeted “positions held by Syria’s regime and its allies at the Nayrab airport” and its surroundings. The base was reportedly previously struck by Israel on April 29 as part of a large raid that also targeted weapons depots near Hama. There was no immediate comment from Israel, which rarely confirms such attacks. Suspected Israeli airstrikes have hit Syrian army positions near Damascus and in the central provinces of Homs and Hama in the past. However, they rarely occur as far north as Aleppo. The raid came hours before a high-stakes summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump, where Syria and Iran are expected to be on the agenda. Israel has been pushing Russia to remove Iranian-aligned militia fighters from Syria, and has vowed to stop them from getting a foothold anywhere in the country. Russia has reportedly only agreed to removing them from the Golan border region. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who met with Putin in Moscow last week, said Sunday he had discussed the issue with Trump a day earlier. Netanyahu reportedly told Putin during their Wednesday meeting that Israel would not challenge Assad’s control of Syria, in exchange for freedom to act against Iran. On July 8, Israel was accused of carrying out an airstrike on the T-4 military base near Homs, also thought to be used by IRGC fighters.

Israel strikes two Hamas posts in response to incendiary aerial devices

IDF drill in southern Israel simulates capture of Gaza City in next war with Hamas; IRGC's Quds Force Commander Soleimani a no-show for speech to Gazans

By Anna Ahronheim July 16, 2018 17:51

A projectile launched from Gaza in the direction of Israel fell short of the border in the Gaza Strip on Monday, hours after Israel struck Hamas positions in Gaza. The mortar, which set off rocket sirens in communities in the Hof Ashkelon Regional Council near the northern border of the strip, reportedly caused two audible explosions. Be the first to know - Join our Facebook page. Earlier in the afternoon, the Israel Air Force struck two Hamas positions in northern Gaza after Palestinians had launched incendiary balloons into southern Israel earlier in the day. According to Palestinian sources, the drone strike occurred near Beit Hanoun and left several people wounded. The strikes come two days into a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas after it launched 200 mortars and rockets into southern Israel and Israel retaliated by striking over 40 Hamas targets across the Gaza Strip. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday visited the southern Israeli city of Sderot and told reporters that there would be no ceasefire with Hamas unless aerial incendiary devices stop. “To us, there is no such thing as a ceasefire that excludes the incendiary kites and balloons – no such thing. I’ll say this for the seventh time and I hope it gets through, but if it’s not understood by my words, it will be understood by the IDF’s actions,” he said. Israel says it has lost at least 1,000 hectares (about 2,500 acres) of farmland, nature reserves and forests because of the fires caused by flaming kites and balloons. On Monday, an employee of the National Parks Authority found a dead falcon, which had a rope with flammable material attached to it, in a torched field near the Habesor Stream in southern Israel near the Gaza Strip. The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) posted on Twitter that: “Arson fires have been caused by incendiary materials flown from Gaza into Israel. Apparently it’s not enough to destroy nature with kites, now falcons are being used for terror as well.” On Sunday, the military launched a series of drills across the country including one in the South simulating war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The division drill, which is to last until Thursday, will also see the 162nd Armored Division’s 401st Brigade simulate the capturing of Gaza City by IDF troops. The drill, which is taking place in areas in Beersheba as well as several Bedouin towns in the Negev, also sees troops from the armored, infantry, engineering and artillery corps train for a variety of scenarios inside enemy territory including handling the local civilian population. Captain Sagi Cohen, who is taking part in the drill, told The Jerusalem Post that the drill will focus on tactics and lessons from Operation Protective Edge, the last conflict with the terror group. Soldiers taking part in the exercises will drill on fighting in tunnels as well as in urban and open areas. “We understand that all of Gaza has tunnels underneath it, something that we didn’t understand in Operation Protective Edge. Urban combat is not clean; there could be tunnels anywhere,” Cohen said. While the IDF maintained that exercises had been planned in advance “as part of the annual training program,” they come as tensions have once again risen along the border with the Hamas-run coastal enclave and according to reports in Hebrew-language press a senior IDF officer in the southern command said that the 162nd Division would be scrambled to the border if needed. “We want to be as prepared as possible,” he said, adding that “we are ready for war with Gaza, even if it began yesterday.” And according to Cohen, his troops are prepared: "We don’t make decisions but if the decision is made that we need to go to war then the troops are ready and we will do what is needed." On Monday, the IDF addressed a speech which was set to be given by Iran’s Maj.-Gen. Qassem Soleimani, commander of the Revolutionary Guards' Quds Force. Solemani was supposed to speak in Tehran and his speech carried via satellite to the Gaza Strip to the crowd at the “Wet Gunpowder” festival organized by Iran for the past several years across the Middle East. According to Yossi Mansharof, a researcher of Iran and Shiite communities at the Ezri Center for Iran and Persian Gulf Studies, the speech delivered by Solemani “comes in retaliation for designation of Resistance Axis and its officials as terror entities by the US." Mansharof told the Post that a speech by Solemani to residents of the Gaza Strip is rare and shows the explicit support by Tehran and the IRGC's Quds force to back Hamas' "current aggressive campaign against Israel." "This is actually the first time he is publicly participating, by video, in a local gathering," he said, adding that Hamas leadership under Yahya Sinwar has chosen "to enhance its relation with Iran at the expense of Egypt." "What Soleimani will be talking about is anybody's guess. The development of the Strip?” read an Arabic-language Facebook post by the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT). “Rebuilding its offices and homes? Increasing the electricity supply? Water? Help for the needy? Iran has invested considerable funding in Hamas, but not in Gaza Strip itself or in is residents. Soleimani doesn't care about the people of Syria and he doesn’t care about the Gazans – who should wake up before the Gaza Strip turns into a neighborhood of Tehran." Israeli officials have accused Iran of growing involvement in the Hamas-run enclave, both financially and militarily. Hamas leader Yihya Sinwar has boasted about his close ties to Hezbollah and Iran, including Soleimani and Salah al-Arouri, the deputy head of Hamas’ political wing, who visited Tehran and met with Solemani and other senior Iranian officials following his appointment. In December Soleimani offered Iran’s support to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. According to the IRGC’s website, Sepah News, Soleimani made the offer in a telephone conversation with commanders of Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades — the armed wing of Hamas. Sepah noted that Soleimani stated that other “resistance forces” in the region were also ready to support Palestinians.

Livni: Pressure Hamas just like we pressure Iran

MK Livni criticizes government's conduct regarding Hamas.

Elad Benari, 16/07/18 01:06

MK Tzipi Livni (Zionist Union) on Sunday criticized the Israeli government's conduct vis-à-vis the Hamas terrorist organization in Gaza. "We have to begin to combine military blows when necessary with diplomatic activity against Hamas, not agreements with Hamas, but mobilization of the world against it," Livni said in an interview on Kol Barama radio. "This government is short-sighted and has no strategy for Gaza. We have become dependent on Hamas. When it wants to, it increases the flames and when it wants to, it lowers them. Israel does not know what it wants to do there,” she continued. "I'm not looking for a partner on the Hamas side and I'm opposed to any negotiations with it. We have to recruit the world to pressure Hamas just as we pressure Iran," Livni said. Her comments came after Gaza terrorists fired over 200 rockets toward southern Israel over the weekend. Hamas and Islamic Jihad claimed on Saturday night that they had reached a ceasefire agreement with Israel. Jewish Home chairman Naftali Bennett later responded to reports of the ceasefire, warning that "the formula whereby after two months of fires and hundreds of rockets on residents of the Gaza Belt, Hamas dictates the ceasefire to us, is a grave mistake.” “I made it clear two months ago: Restraint creates escalation. Those who refrain to respond to the violation of our sovereignty and refrain from fundamental actions impose on us an ongoing war of attrition. The IDF must be ordered to act with force, sophistication and thoroughness,” added Bennett. Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman later said, "There is no intention to contain rockets or kites and anything. I hope that Hamas will draw conclusions, and if they do not, they will have to pay a heavy price."

China Has Been Preparing For A Trade War For Over A Decade

Thursday, 12 July 2018 07:24 Brandon Smith

The crash of 2008 brought with it a host of strange economic paradigms rarely if ever seen in history; paradigms which have turned normal fiscal analysis on its head. While some core fundamentals remain the same no matter what occurs, the reporting of this data has been deliberately skewed to hide the truth. But what is the truth? Well, at bottom, the truth is that most economies around the world are far weaker than the picture governments and central banks have painted. This is especially true for the United States. That said, one country has been pursuing an opposite strategy for many years now — meaning, it has been hiding its economic preparedness more than its weaknesses. I am of course speaking of China. When we mention China in the world of alternative analysis, several issues always arise: China’s expanding debt burden, government spending on seemingly useless infrastructure programs like “ghost cities,” China’s central bank and its corporate subset misreporting financial figures regularly, etc. All of these things fuel the notion that when a global fiscal disaster inevitably takes place, it will emanate first from China. They also give the American public the false impression that a trade war against China will be easily won and that China will immediately falter under the weight of its own veiled instabilities. However, if one actually studies China’s behavior and activities the past decade, they would see a method to the apparent madness. In fact, some of China’s actions seem to suggest that the nation has been preparing for years for the exact geopolitical conditions we see today. It’s as if someone warned them ahead of time... In terms of prepping for a trade war with the U.S., China has implemented several important steps. For example, for at least the past 10 years the country has been shifting away from a pure export economy and reducing its reliance on sales of goods to the U.S. In 2018, Chinese consumer purchases of goods are expected to surpass that of American consumers. For the past five years, domestic consumption in China accounted for between 55% to 65% of economic growth, and private consumption was the primary driver of the Chinese economy — NOT exports. The argument that China is somehow dependent on U.S. markets and consumers in order to keep its economy alive is simply a lie. China is now just as enticing a retail market as the U.S., and its domestic market can pick up some of the slack in the event that U.S. markets are suddenly closed to Chinese exports. The problem of swiftly growing Chinese debt is presented often as the key argument against the nation surviving a global economic reset or trade war, with its “shadow banking” system threatening to unleash a long hidden credit crisis and stock market plunge. But this is not the complete story. The exact amount of fiat printing that China’s central bank undertook after the 2008 crash is not known. Some estimates calculate China’s debt to now sit at around 250% of its gross domestic product. By normal standards this would suggest a credit crisis is imminent. But was China’s sudden interest in debt expansion a reactionary matter, or was it part of a bigger plan? Just after 2008, a common argument against China’s resilience was the notion that China was dependent on holding U.S. dollar reserves in order to keep its own currency weak. Meaning, Chinese companies had to sell goods to the U.S. in exchange for dollars, which they then exchanged to the central bank for Yuan. China’s central bank then held those trillions of dollars in reserve as a means to keep the dollar artificially stronger on the global market, and the Yuan weaker, thus supporting and perpetuating the old export model. Obviously this argument is no longer applicable, or outright absurd. China’s own debt expansion and Treasury bond issuance actually started way back in 2005 under the “Panda Bond” program. At the time it was treated like a novelty or a joke by the mainstream economic community. Today, it is a powerhouse as Yuan denominated assets are spreading around the world. China no longer needs to hold dollars or dollar denominated assets in order to keep its currency weaker for export markets. It can simply inflate and monetize its own debt, just like the U.S. does. But why would China bother to do this at all? Why jump into the same debt game that has caused so much trouble for western nations? Perhaps because they know something we don’t. During the initial phase of the derivatives crisis, the possibility of China joining the International Monetary Fund’s Special Drawing Rights basket leaped to the forefront. With the Yuan as an SDR basket member, its potential to become a financial center for global trade rather than just an export and import hub would be assured. But the IMF set certain requirements before China could join. One of these requirements was far greater currency liquidity and a more “freely usable” Yuan market. In other words, for China to join the SDR basket they would first need to go into considerable debt. This is exactly what they did; not to prop up their banking system (though this made for a valid excuse) or to necessarily prop up their stock markets. Rather, China wanted a seat at the table of the “new world order,” and they bought that seat through massive debt expansion. China was officially included in the SDR basket in 2016. China has been a very vocal proponent of the SDR basket system, and it becomes clear why if you understand what the globalists intend for the future of the world’s monetary framework. This plan was first outlined in the globalist controlled Economist magazine in 1988 in an article calling for the beginnings of a global currency in 2018. The article states that the U.S. economy and the role of the dollar as world reserve would have to be diminished, and that the IMF’s Special Drawing Rights basket could be used as a bridge to set up a single currency for all the world’s economies. This currency would of course be administered and controlled by the banking elites at the IMF. Since 2009, China’s central bank has called for the SDR to become a “super-sovereign reserve currency,” in other words, a global currency system. In 2017, the vice governor of China’s central bank stated that central banks should increase their use of the SDR as a unit of account and that greater SDR liquidity should be encouraged. In 2015, China’s central bank suggested that the SDR system should “go digital,” creating a digital version of the reserve so that it could spread quickly. It should come as no surprise that the IMF is in full agreement with this plan and has even suggested in recent articles on its website that cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology are the future evolution of the monetary system. Notorious globalist George Soros revealed a few darker details of what the IMF calls the “global economic reset” in an interview in 2009; these details included a diminished American economy, a diminished dollar and for China to become a new economic engine for the world. Finally, China has clearly been prepping for a considerable crisis in the dollar or in the world’s economic stability as shown in its sudden and aggressive stockpiling of gold reserves the past decade. Only recently surpassed by Russia in purchases, China is one of the most aggressive national buyers of gold. An expanding gold stockpile would be an effective hedge against a collapsing dollar market. If the dollar loses its world reserve status, nations like China and Russia are placed well to mitigate the damages. Considering the fact that the IMF officially holds around 3,000 tons of gold, the globalists are also well placed for a dollar crash. It would appear that China has been included at many levels in the plan for the global reset. All of the previously mentioned actions suggest foreknowledge of a dramatic shift in the dollar model. The trade war itself provides perfect cover for the economic reset, as I have been warning in my latest articles. China would play an important role in the reset, as they have the ability to dump U.S. Treasuries and the dollar as world reserve, causing a chain reaction through global markets as their trading partners follow along in a domino chain. They will likely do this quietly (as Russia recently did), in order to pawn off their T-bond holdings before news of a Treasury dump hits the mainstream. The primary beneficiaries of this act will be the globalists, while China has placed itself to survive (not necessarily to thrive) during the chaos. The same cannot necessarily be said for the U.S., which suffers from the Achilles Heel of total dependency on the dollar’s primacy.

‘Migrants’ repay Italian rescuers by threatening to decapitate them

Posted on July 12, 2018 by Dr. Eowyn | 44 Comments

No good deed goes unpunished. A private Italian ship answered a distress call and rescued 67 “migrants” off the coast of Libya. But when the ship tried to hand over the “migrants” to the Libyan coast guard, the “migrants” threatened to decapitate the ship’s crew. Alice Cudder reports for EuroNews that on July 8, 2018, an Italian oil rig supply ship Vos Thalassa, owned by international shipping company Vroon, responded to a distress call off the Libyan coast by taking 67 migrants, including six children, onboard. According to an account by Vroon, when the vessel turned to meet with the Libyan coast guard to transfer the migrants, the migrants “started to threaten the crew, surrounding and pushing them and making ‘cut your throat’ gestures. Because of these threats the vessel returned to its position and reported this situation to the MRCC [Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre] in Rome.” The “migrants” were handed over to the Italian coast guard the next evening. The shipping company said being “severely outnumbered on board a merchant vessel by an angry crowd that has very little to lose is very frightening. We are very proud of the professionalism of our crew in these very challenging circumstances.” The Italian coast guard echoed the merchant vessel’s account in a statement to EuroNews, saying the commander of the ship “reported a situation of serious danger for the security of the ship and its crew… caused by attitudes threatening the crew by some migrants”. Italy’s Transport Minister Danilo Toninelli said on Twitter that he was proud of the Italian coast guard for taking the migrants “who were endangering the life of the Italian cruiser Vos Thalassa. Now onwards with investigations to punish troublemakers.” News of the incident comes as Italy continues to clamp down on migrant arrivals. In a recent interview with an Italian radio station, Interior Minister Matteo Salvini said the country’s ports would “be closed all summer” to NGOs transporting migrants and that the ban would include “the furnishing of fuel” to their vessels. Last month, Libya, with the backing of Italy and the European Union, quietly took ownership of a large area of the sea migrant route into Europe for search and rescue operations, in a move critics argue will block asylum seekers from reaching safety. Prior to the change, there was no official search and rescue zone in the area, with the coordination of responses to migrant crises there typically falling to Italy. More than 640,000 “migrants” have landed on Italian shores since 2014, but numbers have fallen dramatically in the past year, with around 17,000 people arriving so far in 2018.

Germany’s Angela Merkel’s Response To Muslim Migrant That Beheaded Baby: Muzzle The Media

The Washington Standard / July 11, 2018 /

It happened back in April, although it was reported only in the German media; apparently, the English-language media didn’t find it newsworthy that a Muslim migrant beheaded his one-year-old daughter on a Hamburg train platform. But the sheer horror of this incident has been compounded now by Angela Merkel’s government, which has reportedly banned further reporting on the incident. Anything to keep as many Germans as possible ignorant and complacent regarding just how devastating the Muslim migrant influx into Germany really is.According to eyewitnesses,” says one news report on this incident, “the 33-year-old suspect, Mourtala Madou, beheaded his one-year-old daughter in front of a horrified crowd of commuters at Jungfernstieg station on Thursday, April 12, and then stabbed his German girlfriend, the mother of the child. The suspect allegedly stabbed the infant from behind, while she was sitting in her stroller, and then severed her neck. He then allegedly stabbed his girlfriend in the chest before fleeing the scene, dumping the murder weapon in a train station trash can. He was later arrested…. Eyewitnesses can be heard saying that the suspect cut the babies [sic]head off.” Police spokesman Timo Zill said the murders were “very targeted”; eyewitnesses described them as an “honor killing.” In beheading the baby, Madou also utilized a form of killing especially favored by Islamic jihadis, heeding the Qur’anic injunction, “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks” (47:4). In response, the Merkel government did not open an investigation of honor killing, or of Muslim migrant crime. It did not commission a study of Islamic theology and culture, and the effects of importing a large number of people from a culture of violence into Germany. Instead, “German media has been allowed by the government to report on the murder of the mother, but Angela Merkel’s pro-migrant government banned German media outlets from reporting on the decapitated baby. Germany’s largest newspaper, Bild, reported on the death of the mother of four, without mentioning the details regarding the barbaric murder of her child.” Why the gag order? Clearly, the Merkel government, facing a strong challenge from the Alliance for Germany, which opposes its suicidal policies regarding the mass Muslim migrant influx, wants to tamp down dissent. The fewer Germans know just how devastating this influx has been, the better. How has it come to this, that the German government has to resort to silencing the press in order to prevent the full magnitude of its failure from being known? At this point, there are only two choices: either Angela Merkel is a socialist internationalist who is hell-bent on destroying the very concept of the nation-state, as well as that of ethnicity itself, by flooding her nation and the rest of Europe with Muslim migrants, many of whom are violent and some of whom are jihadis, or she is irremediably stupid, stupid to the point of requiring institutionalization, and really believes all the fluff and nonsense about “diversity” and “multiculturalism” that the international Left has regaled us with for so many years now. Either way, the result is disaster for Germany, Europe, and the world as a whole. If the only way Merkel can stay in power now is to keep the German people ignorant of the actual effect of the policies she has so indefatigably pursued, and that ignorance is enforced by a media blackout, she is risking bringing Germany’s short life as a free society to an end, and bringing back the authoritarianism so favored by some of her predecessors, such as Adolf Hitler. If Germany ceases to exist as a free society, and Britain (which is also teetering on the brink) follows suit, the effect will be catastrophic for other free nations around the world. Merkel is flirting with doing nothing less than plunging the world into a new Dark Ages. If she had even a modicum of regard for the German people she has sworn to protect and defend, she would acknowledge that her migrant program has been an appalling mistake, and resign. But that is not going to happen. Instead, what lies ahead for Germany is more incidents such as the one that happened in April on that train platform in Hamburg, along with increased civil strife, more jihad terror attacks, more bloodshed, more societal instability, and worse. Future generations of free Germans will curse the name of Angela Merkel. But if she gets her way, there won’t be any. Article posted with permission from Robert Spencer

Remember! In 1988, Globalist Mouthpiece Predicted A Global Currency By 2018 And Warned Implementing The New System Would Unleash Massive Chaos And Civil Unrest

By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die July 11, 2018

In this new story from Brandon Smith over at Alt-Market.com titled "Globalists Are Telling Us Exactly What Disasters They're Planning For The Economy", Smith warns that while President Trump is busy trying to 'make America great again', the 'globalists' who long ago 'hijacked' America still have very real concrete plans to complete the centralization of economic and political power into the hands of a select few people around the world. As Smith reports, at the core of globalism "is the desire for total power, built upon full blown narcissism and sociopathy leading to naive notions that godhood, for them, is attainable" and as we've previously reported on ANP, with artificial intelligence combined with 'transhumanism', many globalists really do believe they'll live forever. And as Smith also points out in his story, having obtained the money and power which they've already obtained, the globalists are absolutely in the position to trigger 'economic travesty' and history has proven they like to reveal their plans to the world before they're fully implemented an in fact, did so back in 1988. First, an excerpt from Smith's story: Make no mistake, the globalists have concrete plans, some of them simple, some of them rather elaborate. But who are the “globalists”? There’s really no secret to it: ANY person or institution that promotes the philosophy of global centralization of economic or political power into the hands of a select few is probably globalist. There is no specific nationality, ethnic group or religious group that makes up the globalist hierarchy. They come from every part of the world and from every conceivable background. They have their private clubs like the Bilderberg Group and the Bohemian Club. They also have their own institutional frameworks, like the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, the Tavistock Institute, the International Monetary Fund, the Bank for International Settlements, etc. But, these are all distractions and misdirections. Now, one might assume these globalists would never restrain themselves with such a thing as “rules of etiquette”; that chaos is their sole strategy. However, this is not entirely accurate. From my observations, it appears that they do follow some rules. One of those rules seems to be this: For whatever reason, they willingly and openly volunteer their plans or reveal future outcomes to the public for consumption before they implement those plans or trigger those outcomes. Smith then points out that we're now witnessing such a 'revealing' if we pay close attention. Warning us that central banks in Russia and China that are stockpiling gold in record numbers is another sign of what is about to happen, Smith tells us we'd be very wise to pay attention and prepare with the very same despots that have the ability to cause an economic collapse hinting to us that a collapse is about to happen. Once again, from the Alt-Market story: Is it not convenient for the globalists that their predictions of crisis fail to mention that the central banks which they control are facilitating the very conditions by which a crash can occur? You see, globalists are perfectly happy to tell you in advance what is about to happen, but they are never going to tell you truth about WHY it happened. It is likely that on top of the reasons already discussed, these elitists happily admit to their schemes because they think there is nothing anyone can do about them anyway. While preventing an economic disaster is impossible at this stage, it is not true that nothing can be done about the outcome. As always, the primary solution is to not be dependent on the system, and if globalists try to make you dependent, then you should be prepared to get rid of them. Decentralized economies based on localism first are the answer. If globalists want to deny us the means of production, then we should learn how to produce and manufacture necessary goods ourselves. If globalists want us to depend on their international supply chains for resources, then we should develop our own supply chains and our own resource base at the local level. In terms of financial protection, the answer is also clear – central banks in nations like China and Russia are stockpiling precious metals at an unprecedented rate. Here again, globalist institutions controlled by the BIS are telling us exactly what is about to happen. With the US slated to enter a steep decline, and stagflationary dangers looming, major players are moving into gold and to some extent silver. It only makes sense that the common man, while he is still able, place a percentage of his savings into these commodities as well. With tangible commodities in hand, backed by the stability of localized trade, any community could weather the storm of a fiscal downturn. Without these things, survival is far less certain. The very despots that have the ability to cause a collapse are telling us a collapse is about to happen. It is time to take the matter seriously, and prepare accordingly. As we reported on ANP exactly one year ago on July 11th of 2017, all the way back in 1988, globalist mouthpiece The Economist predicted that a global world currency would rise out of the ashes of a collapsed system by 2018. As we reported then, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that they are steering this all into this direction and as we warned in that story, the Economist story had predicted that when the 'old system' was being phased out and the 'new system' was being implemented, there would be great disruptions all around the world including chaos and civil unrest. And while the economy and jobs numbers in America continue to thrive, as Zero Hedge reported in this recent story, according to derivatives trading legend Harley Bassman, "an iceberg is dead ahead". Even President Trump once warned that the globalists might try to bring down the economy on his watch and while they've so far been unable to accomplish that task as doing so would also trigger a tsunami of death and destruction all across the entire planet, Bassman claims most people aren't paying attention to the signs all around them. From the Zero Hedge story: While we are now quite familiar with Trump's negotiating style of 'bluster and retreat', it is quite possible that foreign leaders may actually take him seriously. Thus, similar to how WW1 was the unintended conflict, a global trade war could be the unfortunate result of clashing egos which will accelerate the risk calendar. The signal that an iceberg is ahead is NOT that the FED is jamming the Yield Curve flatter, but rather that long-term interest rates have declined by 30bps through the most recent FED hike; and that this is occurring despite massively expanding supply thanks to Quantitative Tightening (QT) and the Tax Package. Market pundits like to say: "They don't ring a bell at the top". My retort is that they do, you are just not listening. And sadly, when most Americans ARE listening, they're listening to the lies of the mainstream media. With 'the masses' here in America being wound up to a fever pitch by both the mainstream Democratic party and the mainstream media over 'anything Trump', imagine what might happen should suddenly and without warning, the globalists bring down the economy on President Trump's watch and attempt to implement their 'new system'. As Daisy Luther the Organic Prepper reported in this new story, over the last several days alone, all hell has broken loose in several different locations across the planet and if we pay close attention to what is happening in places such as Porland, Oregon, Haiti, France and elsewhere, we can learn some very valuable lessons. Warning us that 'peaceful protests' can turn violent within a moment's notice and those who aren't prepared and paying attention to what's happening around them could easily turn into a victim, we'll close this ANP story with these excellent words of advice from Luther at a time when division and hatred seem to be all around us: What can we learn from all this? I’m all for protesting and demonstrating against things that are unjust. The right to peaceful protest is written right into the American constitution. But what we can all learn from this is how quickly something that starts out as a peaceful protest can be disrupted and turned into a violent riot. It can happen anywhere, at any time, and if you are unfortunate enough to be nearby, it can be a life-threatening emergency in some cases. Here are the things to remember: Learn to watch the signs and foresee when violence is about to erupt so you can get yourself and your family safely away. Make a plan to keep your family safe during times of civil unrest if it should occur near your home. (This article can help.) Avoid situations that are likely to become violent. Remember that fire is one of the most common weapons used in a riot. If you are traveling when violence erupts, plan to hunker down. Contact the American Embassy for help. DO NOT go to the airport unless you know for sure your flight is definitely taking off. Remember that the police and military may be every bit as violent as the crowd and will not have time to differentiate between you and a protester. If you’re caught in a crowd, move diagonally to get yourself out of the masses. Hold on to children so that you do not get separated. The best thing you can do is avoid trouble. The second best thing you can do is know how to handle it if trouble comes to you. And while we'll continue to pray for peace and a return to sanity in America, with many on the left quite literally descending into madness over President Trump, we hope that everybody is prepared for what we pray never arrives on our shores.

A step closer to a colony on Mars? Method of making oxygen from water in zero gravity raises hopes for long-distance space travel

Oxygen can be produced from water, which is made of hydrogen and oxygen

In order to sustain life on long space missions, producing oxygen is essential

Researchers have now found a way to produce oxygen in microgravity

This could allow for much longer space missions to Mars and beyond

By Charles Dunnill For The Conversation Published: 08:22 EDT, 11 July 2018 | Updated: 08:24 EDT, 11 July 2018

Ambitious plans to travel to Mars and some day form a colony on the red planet may have come a step closer to reality. Researchers from California Institute of Technology recently published research showing a way to turn water into oxygen and hydrogen in space. Both of these elements are essential for long-term space exploration, and could pave the way for future colonies, as well as allowing humans to venture further into the universe than ever before. In an article for The Conversation, Dr Charles Dunnill, senior lecturer in Energy at Swansea University, explains how important this discovery could be for human survival as we continue to outgrow our own planet. Space agencies and private companies already have advanced plans to send humans to Mars in the next few years – ultimately colonising it. And with a growing number of discoveries of Earth-like planets around nearby stars, long-distance space travel has never seemed more exciting. However, it isn't easy for humans to survive in space for sustained periods of time. One of the main challenges with long-distance space flight is transporting enough oxygen for astronauts to breathe and enough fuel to power complex electronics. Sadly, there's only little oxygen available in space and the great distances make it hard to do quick refills. But now a new study, published in Nature Communications, shows that it is possible to produce hydrogen (for fuel) and oxygen (for life) from water alone using a semiconductor material and sunlight (or star light) in zero gravity – making sustained space travel a real possibility. Using the unbounded resource of the sun to power our everyday life is one of the biggest challenges on Earth. As we are slowly moving away from oil towards renewable sources of energy, researchers are interested in the possibility of using hydrogen as fuel. The best way to do this would be by splitting water (H2O) into its constituents: hydrogen and oxygen. This is possible using a process known as electrolysis, which involves running a current through a water sample containing some soluble electrolyte. This breaks down the water into oxygen and hydrogen, which are released separately at the two electrodes. While this method is technically possible, it has yet to become readily available on Earth as we need more hydrogen related infrastructure, such as hydrogen refilling stations, to scale it up. Sun power Hydrogen and oxygen produced in this way from water could also be used as fuel on a spacecraft. Launching a rocket with water would in fact be a lot safer than launching it with additional rocket fuel and oxygen on board, which can be explosive. Once in space, special technology could split the water into hydrogen and oxygen which in turn could be used to sustain life or to power electronics via fuel cells. There are two options for doing this. One involves electrolysis as we do on Earth, using electrolytes and solar cells to capture sunlight and convert this into a current. The alternative is to use 'photo catalysts', which work by absorbing light particles – photons – into a semiconductor material inserted into the water. The energy of a photon gets absorbed by an electron in the material which then jumps, leaving behind a hole. The free electron can react with protons (which make up the atomic nucleus along with neutrons) in water to form hydrogen. Meanwhile, the hole can absorb electrons from water to form protons and oxygen. The process can also be reversed. Hydrogen and oxygen can be brought together or 'recombined' using a fuel cell returning the solar energy taken in by the 'photocatalysis' – energy which can be used to power electronics. Recombination forms only water as a product – meaning the water can also be recycled. This is key to long-distance space travel. The process using photo catalysts is the best option for space travel as the equipment weighs much less than the one needed for electrolysis. In theory, it should work easily. This is partly because the intensity of the sunlight is far higher without the Earth's atmosphere absorbing large amounts on its way through to the surface. HOW CAN OXYGEN BE CREATED FROM WATER? Water is made of two elements: hydrogen and oxygen. These are bonded together and can often be manipulated in chemical reactions. Water is added to many different processes, in a process called hydrolysis - the addition of water. Electrolysis is a similar process, which involves the addition of an electrical current through a water sample that contains a soluble material, known as an electrolyte. This process then provides energy to the water molecules, and with enough applied energy, the bonds that keep the oxygen joined to the hydrogen can be broken. This is often done in a school laboratory by placing two electrodes (or a battery) in a small flask of impure water, applying a current and capturing the gas created. This gas is then lit with a match and produces a squeaky pop, a telltale sign of hydrogen being present. This has yet to be scaled up on Earth, with the infrastructure yet to be established. Another way is to use a catalyst which work by absorbing light particles – photons – into a semiconductor material inserted into water. The energy of a photon gets absorbed by an electron in the material which then jumps, leaving behind a hole. The free electron can react with protons (which make up the atomic nucleus along with neutrons) in water to form hydrogen. Meanwhile, the hole can absorb electrons from water to form protons and oxygen. The process can also be reversed. Hydrogen and oxygen can be brought together or 'recombined' using a fuel cell returning the solar energy taken in by the 'photocatalysis' – energy which can be used to power electronics. Recombination forms only water as a product – meaning the water can also be recycled. Bubble management In the new study, the researchers dropped the full experimental set up for photocatalysis down a 400 foot (120 metre) drop tower, creating an environment similar to microgravity. As objects accelerate towards Earth in free fall, the effect of gravity diminishes as forces exerted by gravity are cancelled out by equal and opposite forces due to the acceleration. This is opposite to the G forces experienced by astronauts and fighter pilots as they accelerate in their aircraft. The researchers managed to show that it is indeed possible to split water in this environment. However, as water is split to create gas, bubbles form. Getting rid of bubbles from the the catalyst material once formed is important – bubbles hinder the process of creating gas. On Earth, gravity makes the bubbles automatically float to the surface (the water near the surface is denser than the bubbles, which makes them buyonant) – freeing the space on the catalyst for the next bubble to be produced. In zero gravity this is not possible and the bubble will remain on or near the catalyst. However, the scientists adjusted the shape of nanoscale features in the catalyst by creating pyramid-shaped zones where the bubble could easily disengage from the tip and float off into the medium. But one problem remains. In the absence of gravity, the bubbles will remain in the liquid – even though they have been forced away from the catalyst itself. Gravity allows for the gases to easily escape from the liquid, which is critical for using the pure hydrogen and oxygen. Without the presence of gravity, no gas bubbles float to the surface and separate from the mixture – instead all the gas remains to create a foam. This reduces the efficiency of the process dramatically by blocking the catalysts or electrodes. Engineering solutions around this problem will be key to successfully implementing technology in space – with one possibility being using centrifugal forces from rotation of a spacecraft to separate the gases from the solution. Nevertheless, thanks to this new study we are a step closer to long-duration human spaceflight.

The Laptev Sea and Eastern Siberian Sea have received a 'true roasting' melting ice covering the Arctic Ocean

This ice serves as an insulator and stops the flow of thermal energy from the water's into the atmosphere

Experts fear this effect, known as Arctic Amplification, is causing extreme weather patterns across the planet

Weakening of the polar jet stream can lead to severe weather like the Beast from the East that buffeted Britain

Fascinating maps have revealed the true scale of 'one of the most intense heat events ever seen' on Earth. The maps show how cities across the Northern Hemisphere witnessed extreme temperatures in the past week, with records breaking in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Western Asia. Nebraska-based meteorologist Nick Humphrey, who runs the 'Ocean's Wrath' blog, said the extreme spell of hot weather shown in the maps amounted to 'a true roasting'. 'It is absolutely incredible and really one of the most intense heat events I've ever seen for so far north,' he said. Humphrey made the comments after analysing weather data from the University of Maine's Climate Reanalyzer maps - and he believes the high temperatures show no signs of subsiding. Climate Reanalyzer is a platform developed by the University of Maine and the National Science Foundation to visualise the global climate. It provides 10-day forecasts across the world as well as maps that link to old station data. The latest maps simulate the maximum temperatures last week showing temperatures measured at two metres above the ground. Temperature records worldwide were shattered by an unusual global heatwave in recent weeks. Stifling heat cracked roads and buckled roofs across Britain, as Motherwell hit the highest temperature ever recorded in Scotland at 91.8°F (33.2°C). The previous record was 91.2°F (32.9°C) set in August 2003 at Greycrook. Glasgow had its hottest day on record, hitting 89.4°F (31.9°C). This exceeded a previous peak of previous peak of 87.9°F (31.1°C), recorded in 1950. In Ireland, on June 28 Belfast also reached a record high, as it hit 85.1°F (29.5°C). Shannon also hit its own record at 89.6°F (32°C). In Northern Ireland, Castlederg hit 86.2°F (30.1°C) on June 29, its record highest. These are the hottest temperatures recorded on the island since 1976. In Canada, Montreal smashed its previous record for the hottest temperature, as readings showed 97.9 °F (36.6°C). Ottawa posted its most extreme combination of heat and humidity on July 1. Meanwhile in the US, Denver, the Colorado state capital, tied its all-time high-temperature record of 105°F (40°C) on June 28 Burlington, in Vermont, set its all-time warmest low temperature ever, recording a low of 80°F (27°C) within the 24 hour period on July 2. Whilst the islands in Western Europe smouldered in its own heatwave, Eurasia was baking as well. Yerevan, in the previously Soviet state of Armenia, saw temperatures soar to 107.6°F (42°C). Russia, the host country of the World Cup this year, is also in the midst of a heatwave and several spots across the south of the world's largest country either matched or exceeded their warmest June temperatures. In the Middle-Eastern nation of Oman, the lowest temperature for 24 hours on June 28 was 108.7°F (42.6°C) in the coastal city of Quriyat's. These fantastical numbers come just months after Pakistan posted the hottest temperature ever seen on Earth. Humphrey expressed his concerns over high temperatures at two specific location in Northern Siberia, along the coast of the Arctic Ocean. Computer model analyses showed that temperatures soared 20°C (40°F) above normal on July 5, to over 30°C (90°F), what he describes as a 'true roasting' for this area. He predicts that events will cause maximum daily temperatures as high as 32 to 35°C (90 to 95°F) at the Laptev Sea and Eastern Siberian Sea later this week. Writing in his blog, he said: 'I've looked over the European model and there appears to be general agreement over the intensity and timing of this extreme event.' Temperature records worldwide were shattered by an unusual global heatwave in late June and early July 2018. Stifling heat cracked roads and buckled roofs across Britain, as Motherwell hit the highest temperature ever recorded in Scotland at 91.8°F (33.2°C). The previous record was 91.2°F (32.9°C) set in August 2003 at Greycrook. Glasgow had its hottest day on record, hitting 89.4°F (31.9°C). In Ireland, on June 28 Belfast also reached a record high, as it hit 85.1°F (29.5°C). Shannon also hit its own record at 89.6°F (32°C). In Northern Ireland, Castlederg hit 86.2°F (30.1°C) on June 29, its record highest. In Canada, Montreal smashed its previous record for the hottest temperature, as readings showed 97.9 °F (36.6°C) Ottawa posted its most extreme combination of heat and humidity on July 1. Meanwhile in the US, Denver, the Colorado state capital, tied its all-time high-temperature record of 105°F (40°C) on June 28 Burlington, in Vermont, set its all-time warmest low temperature ever, recording a low of 80°F (27°C) within the 24 hour period on July 2 Whilst the islands in Western Europe smouldered in its own heatwave, Eurasia was baking as well.

In the Middle-Eastern nation of Oman, the lowest temperature for 24 hours on June 28 was 108.7°F (42.6°C) in the coastal city of Quriyat's. These fantastical numbers come just months after Pakistan posted the hottest temperature ever seen on Earth. As well as the intense daytime heat, Mr Humphrey says computer models indicate high nighttime temperatures at sea of around 15 to 20°C (60°F), with 21 to 26°C (70°F) inland. During the day, strong offshore wind blowing hot air offshore out to sea capable of heating waters and destroying more and more sea ice, he added. Climate change has sent temperatures skyrocketing in the far north of the planet over just the past 20 years. That's been reflected in the rapid rise in wintertime temperatures, but it's increasingly being reflected in summertime temperatures as well. As a result, more and more sea ice disappears earlier in the season, leaving more dark blue ocean to absorb more daytime sunlight. This heating of the ocean surface by low albedo - surface very low reflectivity so that little sunlight is reflected back off into space - causes some heat to be released back to the atmosphere above, speeding up warming of the Arctic region. This is known as Arctic Amplification. Experts including Dr Jennifer Francis, a research professor at the Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences at Rutgers University, and others claim that Arctic Amplification is causing an abrupt weakening of the polar jet stream. Jet streams are fast flowing, narrow currents of air that carry warm and cold air across the planet, much like the currents of a river. They cover thousands of miles as they meander near the tropopause layer of our atmosphere. The strongest jet streams are the polar jets, found 30,000 to 39,000 ft (5.7 to 7.4 miles/ 9 to 12 km) above sea level at the north and south pole. The weakening is causing the polar jet to become much wavier, with greater wave 'breaks' and blocking patterns where waves sit in the same place for weeks promote extreme weather patterns. That includes extreme cold relative to normal as well as extreme heat, very wet, and drought conditions. It can also lead to severe conditions like those that hit Britain in February and March, dubbed the Beast from the East. In addition to the immediate impact on sea ice, there is also the impact on permafrost, Mr Humphrey warns. An increase in these kind of intense heat events hitting the Arctic at the height of summer will result in more rapid destruction of land permafrost, he claims. This will lead to even further heating of the shallow waters just offshore where sub-sea permafrost is located. This will allowed for increasingly more carbon dioxide and methane to be released into the atmosphere, speeding up global warming and resulting in ever faster. climate change. HOW DO RISING TEMPERATURES IN THE ARCTIC CREATE COLD WEATHER IN EUROPE? As long ago as 1973, a study suggested that an ice-free Arctic Ocean could make regions further south colder. That 'warm Arctic, cold continent' (WACC) pattern is sometimes dubbed 'wacc-y' or 'wacky' among climate scientists. When unusually warm air enters the region, it melts ice covering the waters of the Arctic Ocean. This ice normally serves as an insulator, stopping the flow of thermal energy from the water’s surface into the atmosphere. Without the ice in place, the oceans can transfer a huge amount of this energy into the air above. This in turn increases air temperatures and this warm air rises up into the upper atmosphere, where it reaches the jet stream. Jet streams are fast flowing, narrow currents of air that carry warm and cold air across the planet, much like the currents of a river. They cover thousands of miles as they meander near the tropopause layer of our atmosphere. The strongest jet streams are the polar jets, found 30,000 to 39,000 ft (5.7 to 7.4 miles/ 9 to 12 km) above sea level at the north and south pole. In the case of the Arctic polar jet this fast moving band of air sits between the cold Arctic air to the north and the warm, tropical air to the south. When uneven masses of hot and cold meet, the resulting pressure difference causes winds to form. During winter, the jet stream tends to be at its strongest because of the marked temperature contrast between the warm and cold air. The bigger the temperature difference between the Arctic and tropical air mass, the stronger the winds of the jet stream become. The Arctic polar jet, which can reach speeds of up 200mph (320kph), flows over the middle to northern latitudes of North America, Europe, and Asia and their intervening oceans. It moves from East to West, although its exact route varies and can be affected by various factors. With the ice melt in the Arctic and the introduction of warmer air, the route of the jet stream becomes wavier and more erratic. That means that the colder air it carries from the Arctic can penetrate further south and warmer airs from the tropics is carried further north. If the jet stream’s meander buckles south of the UK, it attracts cold air from the Arctic. Conversely when it swings north, it sucks warm air from the tropics.

Top Iranian General: Forces in Syria ‘Awaiting Orders’ to Destroy Israel

Hossein Salami says Tehran also 'creating might in Lebanon to fight our enemy from there with all our strength' and eradicate 'evil Zionist regime'

Jul 11, 2018, 3:02PM Lior Sharon

In a recent speech, the deputy commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) boasted that the “Islamic army in Syria” in the Golan Heights was awaiting orders to eradicate the “evil regime” of Israel. He also said the Tehran-backed Hezbollah terror group had 100,000 missiles aimed at Israel. “We are creating might in Lebanon because we want to fight our enemy from there with all our strength,” he stated. “Hezbollah today has tremendous might on the ground that can on its own break the Zionist regime. The Zionist regime has no strategic-defensive depth.” In the speech for the anti-Israel al-Quds Day in June, translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), Hossein Salami said that the dangers Israel faces today are greater than at any time in history. “Today an international Islamic army has been formed in Syria, and the voices of the Muslims are heard near the Golan,” he said. “Orders are awaited, so that… the eradication of the evil regime [Israel] will land and the life of this regime will be ended for good The life of the Zionist regime was never in danger as it is now.” Salami stressed that “the Zionist regime constitutes a threat… to the entire Islamic world. That is the philosophy of the establishment of this regime.” He praised Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who led the 1979 Iranian revolution, for making the destruction of Israel a goal of the regime. Khomeini “spread the rationale of eradicating Israel as a new notion in the world’s political discourse,” Salami said. “Since then, the Zionist regime is fearful, delusional, and worried.” Israel has for years warned of Iran’s ongoing attempts to entrench itself in Syria, and has been waging a quiet campaign to prevent Tehran from establishing a new front on its border. That campaign came into the light and shifted into more open conflict in February, when an Iranian drone carrying explosives briefly entered Israeli airspace, before it was shot down. In response Israel launched a counterattack on an air base in Syria, hitting the mobile command center from which the drone had been piloted and killing at least seven members of the IRGC. Tehran vowed revenge after the T-4 army base strike. On May 10, the IRGC’s al-Quds Force launched 32 rockets at Israel’s forward defensive line on the Golan Heights border. Four of them were shot down; the rest fell short of Israeli territory. In response, over the next two hours, Israeli jets fired dozens of missiles at Iranian targets in Syria and destroyed a number of Syrian air defense systems. The operation was widely seen as a success in Israel. But Salami boasted of Iran’s success in launching the rockets, claiming the barrage silenced Israel. “When the Zionists bombed the T-4 base in Syria and killed some young men, they thought that they would get no reaction. They thought that America’s and England’s support could frighten the resistance front. They thought that no one would respond,” Salami said. “But the response came in the Golan, and dozens of missiles were fired, along with the message ‘If you respond, we will flatten the heart of Tel Aviv into dust.’ They were silent, and did nothing further.” Iran has been accused by Israel, the Trump administration, Saudi Arabia and other Middle East countries of supporting terrorism and instability in the region. Salami blamed Israel for all the Middle East’s troubles. “All the problems of the Islamic world stem from the existence of the false, counterfeit, historically rootless, and identity-less regime named Israel,” he said.

Italian bishop says he’s ready to “turn all the churches into mosques” to aid the cause of mass Muslim migration

Jul 10, 2018 4:23 pm By Robert Spencer

Monsignor Raffaele Nogaro, bishop emeritus of Caserta, says he is ready to “turn all the churches into mosques if it were useful to the cause and if it allowed us to save the lives of men and women.” And so the Catholic Church continues on its path of aiding and abetting Europe’s civilizational and cultural suicide — not unwittingly, but with its eyes open. As I show in my book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, the Catholic Church was once one of the foremost bulwarks of defense in the jihad against Europe. But those days are long gone, to the degree that those who call attention to the fact that Europe faces a resurgence today of the same threat that it faced for centuries are ruthlessly harassed and silenced by Catholic authorities. History will judge today’s Catholic prelates quite harshly. “Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14) “Migrants, priests challenge Salvini: fasting and protests against him,” translated from “Migranti, i preti sfidano Salvini: digiuno e presidio contro di lui,” by Sergio Rame, Il Giornale, July 10, 2018 (thanks to Ralph): Street priests, nuns and missionaries in the square against Salvini: “Solidarity with migrants.” Ten days of fasting and protests between the Vatican and Montecitorio. All against Matteo Salvini. Not just the left and the radical chic. Now the “red” priests, those commonly called “on the street,” the missionaries and the nuns, go down into the square. To express their dissent, as had been announced by Giornale it in the past few hours, they organized a sort of “relay fast.” For ten days they will take to the streets against the migrant policies of the Northern League minister, beginning today at noon on the dot, with “a day of fasting of justice in solidarity with the migrants” in front of St. Peter’s Basilica. Then, for another ten days, they will be in the same site in front of Montecitorio, where they will hold a permanent protest. The supporters of the appeal are all men of the Church. We went to Father Alex Zanotelli, who signed on behalf of the Comboni Missionaries, to Monsignor Raffaele Nogaro, bishop emeritus of Caserta, to Fr Alessandro Santoro, who signed on behalf of the Community of the Piagge of Florence, to Sister Rita Giaretta of the Casa Ruth of Caserta. Recalling when Pope Francis challenged the restrictive policies of “Fortress Europe” during the Mass celebrated in Lampedusa for the 33 thousand immigrants who died in the Mediterranean Sea, the organizers asked: “Have you ever cried when you saw a boat of migrants sink?” Then, referring also to Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi who, during the arm-wrestling between Salvini and the Aquarius ship, quoted the Gospel on Twitter: “I was a foreigner and you did not welcome me.” “The choices of the government are incompatible with the Gospel and with the Constitution,” explained Fr Alessandro Santoro, of the community of the Piagge of Florence, to Fatto Quotidiano: “we defend the principle of humanity with the weapons we have: our bodies.” To today’s protest in St. Peter’s Square (watch the video) very few people showed up. And the protest of the street priests has fallen on deaf ears. But the protesters will go on to protest against Salvini again in the coming days. “We will continue in Montecitorio to testify with fasting against the migration policies of this government,” said Father Zanotelli. “We will continue to fast for another 10 days with a protest in front of Montecitorio from 8AM to 2PM.” “Have you ever cried when you saw a boat of migrants sink?”, asks the priest, adding that “the shipwreck of migrants, the poor, the desperate is also the shipwreck of Europe, and its ideals of being the homeland of human rights.” Next to Father Zanotelli, in San Pietro, there was also the cartoonist Vauro Senesi. The two read the words spoken in an interview by Monsignor Raffaele Nogaro, bishop emeritus of Caserta, in which he said he was ready to “turn all the churches into mosques if it were useful to the cause and if it allowed us to save the lives of men and women.”

If the Left wins, humanity DIES: An urgent warning about what’s really at stake

Wednesday, July 11, 2018 by: Mike Adams

(Natural News) The ideas of Leftists are rooted in such dangerous insanity that if liberals got what they are currently demanding, they would destroy human civilization. All of their key ideas are horrible failures. That’s because they’re rooted in delusional thinking rather than rationality and logic. The very fabric of modern human civilization would be torn apart of Leftists got the world they’re demanding. Sadly, they’re all too indoctrinated or insane to understand the consequences of their own demands, and that’s exactly why they must be defeated and stripped of power over the rest of us. Among their insane demands, you’ll find the following priorities: Abolish all border security, unleash an invasion wave of illegals to occupy and overthrow America. End the free market and seize all private businesses, creating a centrally-planned economy run entirely by the (incompetent) government. Close down all prisons, set all prisoners free across America, including violent murderers, rapists, child traffickers and more. Terminate all police, shut down police departments and let lawless chaos rule the streets of America, all in the name of “social justice.” These ideas are, of course, utterly and completely insane. But they now represent the dominant thinking of the Democrat party in America today, which no longer pretends to love America at all. In the latest episode of Counterthink, broadcast each Sunday at 6pm at InfoWars.com, I reveal a long list of details about why liberals are actually waging a war against human civilization. Voting against Democrats is no longer merely an exercise in politics; it’s necessary to save our world from the very kind of destruction that deranged Leftists have already unleashed in Venezuela, San Francisco, Chicago, Cuba, North Korea and the former Soviet Union, among other examples. Watch and share everywhere. The full episode is now available at REAL.video at this link:

Why The Democrats Want To Control The Supreme Court

Jul 12, 2018 Read More Articles by Dave Daubenmire

Secularization Without Representation

Do you really understand what the war for the Supreme Court is all about?

It isn’t about values, or women’s rights, or even about the rule of law. Nope, the battle for the Supreme Court is all about POWER !! “Who are you to tell me what I can do with my own body?” The hypocrisy of those on the LEFT is laughable. The only reason the minions on the LEFT want control of the Supreme Court is because they don’t want anyone telling them what they can do or think. That is their business…telling everyone else what to think. It is called political correctness. The LEFT’s entire power base lies in the US Court system where they have been able to ram through every piece of their un-American, anti-Christian agenda. Try as they might they are unable to convince the average American to agree with their diabolical agenda so they stack the courts and use judicial review as the cultural battering ram. And now, they have the stones to tell Brett Cavanaugh that he can have a place on the Supreme as long as he is willing to keep his deeply held religious values to himself. “It is ok for you to have personal beliefs but you better not let them impact what you rule when making decisions on the court! We control right and wrong,” shriek those on the left. “You have no right bringing your conservative religious values into your decision making process. That’s the job of atheists and secularists like Ruth Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonya Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan.” They call it “court precedence” or “stare decisis” which simply means that they have removed all morality by seizing control of the courts and establishing an anti-Christian Constitution for America. Our nation has been de-Christianized simply because a series of “terrorists in black robes” has decided to rule Jesus Christ and His precepts un-Constitutional. In a nation where over 70% of Americans self-identify as Christians don’t you find it somewhat prejudicial that a group of non-believers have been granted the right to tell believers what they are permitted to believe? I call this Secularization Without Representation. That’s what they are telling Brett Cavanaugh. “You can have a seat on The Court as long as you don’t try and bring your deeply held religious beliefs into the decision making process. We have already ruled “Christian beliefs” un-constitutional and don’t you dare try to come in and undue what we have worked so hard to implement.” The Left has pulled a coup on the American people. Article 1, Section 1 of the US Constitution states: All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives. Courts cannot make laws…they are vested with the power to merely JUDGE the Constitutionality of the law. Roe v Wade is not a law…it is simply a court opinion. The Supreme Court did not legalize abortion…the simply told us it did. A court decision is fake law…the Founders called it “pretended legislation”…and carries no legislative authority. Follow me here. In 1947 Everson V Board of Education SCOTUS ruled that there was a “separation between the church and the state.” But no law was ever passed. No congress ever legislated it and no president ever signed it. Separation of the Church and State is “pretended legislation.” In 1961 Engel v Vitale SCOTUS ruled that prayer was illegal in American public schools. From our founding prayer was a part of the American culture but 6 unelected judges ruled it unconstitutional. No law, no Congressional discussion, no Presidential signature. “Pretended Legislation.” In 1963 in Abbington V Schempp the Court ruled that Bible reading in schools was un-constitutional despite nearly 180 years of having been permitted. No law was passed, no President signed a law, but the Court simply ruled it so. It was “pretended legislation.” Check out Stone v Graham which removed the 10 Commandments, Roe v Wade which “legalized” baby murder, Lawrence v Texas which decriminalized homosexual sodomy, and Obergefell v Hodges which “created” male and male marriage. All “pretended legislation.” No matter how hard you look you will not find one law, one Congressional debate, nor one Presidential signature “legalizing” any of the above “pretended legislation.” All of the power in the American government has been stolen from the duly elected legislature and the people who voted for them and granted to 9 unelected lawyers who have overthrown the basic foundations of the US Constitution. Even if Brett Cavanaugh is granted his seat on the SCOTUS he will do nothing to bring a balance to the SCOTUS that represents the views and values of the American people. Are you sitting down? Although nearly 50% of all American’s only Judge Gorsuch, a former Catholic who converted to the Episcopal Church is the only member of the “Protestant faith” currently sitting on the court. If Cavanaugh makes it he will join fellow Catholics Roberts, Alito, Thomas, (Kennedy and Scalia were Catholic as well) and mesh with Ginsburg, Kagan, Sotomayor, and Breyer (all Jewish). So, the makeup of the court will soon be 4 Catholics, 4 Jews, and 1 Protestant. Just curious…has anyone seen an Evangelical in Washington? In this age of tolerance and diversity how can it be possible that the largest religious group in America…Bible believing Christians…have NO REPRESNTATION on the highest court in the land? If there is no “religious test” for office in America why is nearly half of the nation not represented? No wonder America is in such a mess. All beliefs are valued in America…except Christianity. No wonder the Name of Jesus has been criminalized. It is time for the SCOTUS to look like America. Secularization Without Representation has destroyed this land.

Kavanaugh’s Nomination Must Be Defeated-He Supports Abortion, Obamacare and the Cover Up of Vince Foster’s Murder

BY Dave Hodges

President Trump has been on a winning streak. First, his jobs report for June was fantastic as 213,000 jobs were added to the nation’s employment. He pardoned the Hammonds, from the Bundy Ranch affair. In fact, I reminded someone that the President promised we’d be winning so much, that we would be tired of winning. I was preparing an analysis of how various minority groups were beginning to support Trump in much larger numbers. Both black and Hispanic support has more than doubled. Brandon Straka is leading a march for LGBT people to leave the Democratic Party. The Democrats continue to have money issues and the great, anticipated Blue Wave, has all but evaporated. Then disaster struck. This report is short, not-so sweet and very much to the point. In a quick sentence, Brett Kavanaugh is Deep State and he represents Deep State interests. I have no idea what Trump could have been thinking. And in a shining moment, I understand why my friends and coll eagues, such as Dr. Ted Broer, has decisively soured on Trump as a conservative president. Today I am leaning very much in that direction. The appointment of a Supreme Court judge is huge because this appointment will determine if the conservatives, or the mentally ill liberals will maintain a 5-4 majority decision on critical Constitutional issues. If Kavanaugh is confirmed, then Supreme Court will have been taken over by liberals. Judge Kavanaugh-A Disaster I confess I did not know a lot about Kavanaugh and was gratified that the Democrats were caught pre-fabricating their signs of protest against Kavanaugh. This shows one how truly stupid liberals are because Trump just nominated one of them. Trump’s nominee judicial record immediately jumped out at me. First, he ruled she that an illegal alien, (re Garza case) was entitled to a taxpayer-funded abortion. No wonder Trump said he would not ask his nominee on how he would rule on abortion issues. The man is a flaming liberal. . A second issue has surfaced as well. Trump’s nominee, as an appellate judge supported the Obamacare mandatory mandate. This is wholly illegal and blatantly violated the Constitution. The issue then got kicked upstairs to the Supreme Court and at least they put window dressing on the issue and inappropriately called the mandate a tax while upholding Obama’s key proposal in his misguided healthcare. This made Trump’s nominee even more liberal than judge on the Supreme court. I had seen enough and for the first time in my life, I joined hard core liberals calling for the defeat of this nominee in the Senate. By mid-day, I had made this video calling for the defeat of Kavanaugh’s nomination. I am not alone. Although professionally expressed, in a very cautious manner, Rand Paul and Judge Napolitano have expressed concerns as well. By nightfall, I knew the withdrawal of my support for Trump’s nominee was the right thing to do. However, I found much more. From AIM with documentation: …Twenty-nine year old Brett Kavanaugh replaced Miguel Rodriguez when he resigned from Kenneth Starr’s Office of Independent Counsel. Associate Independent Counsel Rodriguez, an experienced prosecutor, thought he “was scoring big points” for Ken Starr investigating the death of Vince Foster, President Bill Clinton’s deputy White House counsel. Rodriguez’s assistant Lucia Rambusch thought they “would be getting pats on the back” for uncovering evidence Foster had been murdered. Instead, according to Deputy Independent Counsel Hickman Ewing’s notes, Rodriguez said that Deputy Independent Counsel Mark Tuohey “cancelled everything [he] was doing” and “undermined everything [he] had done.” Kavanaugh sided with the Democrat Tuohey in opposing efforts by Rodriguez to uncover the truth. For what it’s worth, Tuohey is married to Marty Daley, the sister of Barack Obama’s former Chief of Staff, Bill Daley, and the former Democratic mayor of Chicago, Richard Daley. Their father was the powerful Chicago mayor Richard J. Daley. Kavanaugh was willing to do what Tuohey expected to achieve the desired result. Rodriguez told Reed Irvine, the deceased former chairman and founder of Accuracy in Media, that “the young aspiring people, who I used to work with back in that office will say and do what they have to, to move up the ladder.” Ewing wrote in his notes, “FBI refused to coop. w/ [Miguel Rodriguez] on [Vince Foster] death.” Rodriguez told Irvine the same FBI agents that did the Fiske investigation were working in Starr’s office and they hid photographic evidence, intimidated witnesses, and threatened him. On March 10, 1995, four days after Rodriguez’s resignation was effective, an FBI agent sent a memorandum to Kavanaugh that was copied to Tuohey. The memo presented a chronology: “(16:15-16:30) Patrick Knowlton describes a small brown foreign car with Arkansas license plates in the Ft. Marcy parking lot. Knowlton also described a suit jacket and a briefcase inside this car.” The memo failed to mention that Knowlton was unwavering that the car he saw was not Foster’s 1989 gray Honda. The Arkansas license plate seen by Knowlton was used to make it appear that he saw Foster’s car. Although it stated that Knowlton saw a brown car, it suppressed the fact that Knowlton was certain the car was an early 80s model and not a 1989. The chronology continued: “(17:00 +/-) Judy Doody identifies Foster’s vehicle parked in the Ft. Marcy parking lot.” This false statement was used to make it appear Foster’s car was in the parking lot when Foster was dead….. The rest can be read at the link above. If AIM is correct, and I think they are, Kavanaugh is no better than Rosenstein, Clinton, Sessions and Mueller. There is no conclusion as of this printing. I am still evaluating. No, I am not evaluating Kavanaugh. I am going to work against his nomination. I am re-evaluating my support for Donald Trump.

Hillary Clinton’s Supernatural Luciferian Illuminati Protection

By Ray Gano - July 10, 2018

This past election brought out a lot of interesting information about Hillary Clinton. In fact, just looking at all the scandals associated to her in the last election it would almost appear that she had a form of supernatural / Luciferian / Illuminati protection bestowed upon her. She literally robbed the democratic election where it was really looking like Burney Sanders was going to nail that one. I mean how does one do that and get away with it if she did not have some special powers looking over her? Email server with huge amount of secret data as well data exposing her luciferian ties and other nefarious information that is still being released today. Look at James Comey and what went on with him and the FBI. He was suppose to be looking into HC but his farce of an investigation was that a farce. “During that process, we reviewed all of the communications that were to or from Hillary Clinton while she was Secretary of State,” Comey wrote. “Based on our review, we have not changed our conclusions that we expressed in July with respect to Secretary Clinton.” In other words, it was all much ado about nothing. Comey’s recommended in July was that although Clinton had been “extremely careless” with classified information, there was no grounds for charging her with a crime. Put more bluntly, the FBI altered the course of the presidential campaign for what amounts to a fire drill. Again, who are the gods that are protecting HC?

Lt. Col. Robert Maginnis Exposes Hillary’s Luciferian Connection

Lt. Col. Robert Maginnis said that Hillary Clinton is a demonically-influenced psychopath.

I totally agree with him. During a recent appearance on “The Sharpening Report Maginnis stated the following… “Not only are they narcissistic and self-centered and want to control everything, but they, in fact, are psychopathic to a certain degree, some of them, in terms of their behaviors,” he continued. “Just watch Hillary Clinton, and I would argue that some her behavior is psychopathic in that it is antisocial, it’s egotistical, it’s narcissistic and all these sorts of things. So you have these groups of people that are very, very well connected, very powerful, manipulative of the world in terms of government, culture and economy and it’s a scary proposition. And, of course, many of them are demonically-influenced behind the scenes and their association with the evil side of the world, the unseen realm, I think is pretty self-evident.” If you want to watch the entire interview with Lt Col Maginnis on The Sharpening Report, you can watch it here… https://youtu.be/h-WVYoGWUpo 

Ben Carson Exposes Hillary’s Luciferian Connection Ben Carson has stated that Hillary Clinton employs Luciferian tactics during his Republican National Convention speech. The connection stems from Clinton’s vocal support of Saul Alinsky’s book, Rules for Radicals, which acknowledges Lucifer as the original radical. “Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins—or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom—Lucifer,” Clinton penned her undergraduate thesis about Alinsky, and Carson says the author was one of her mentors.

Hillary’s Luciferian Connections, Pedophilia, Podesta & Spirit Cooking In the most recent WikiLeaks email dump from Hillary’s campaign manager John Podesta last Friday, more disturbing connections to organized child abuse by the Clinton Foundation have been found. (1) After an earthquake in Haiti Laura Silsby, the former head of an orphanage, was arrested at the Haitian-Dominican border with 33 children whom she claimed were orphans. This claim later turned out to be a lie, and she was instead trafficking them. The leaked emails reveal Hillary and her assistant Huma Abedin arranged swiftly for assistance to Silsby, including finances and housing. This keen personal interest is surprising, to say the least. Podesta’s emails also likely make reference to sexual abuse of children by Podesta himself. (2) Code words such as ‘cheese’ (little girl), ‘pasta’ (little boy), ‘map’ (semen) and ‘sauce’ (orgy) are apparently well-known code words used on deep web pedophile messaging boards. The emails in question include references such as this one from Herbert Sandler on December 24, 2015: “Lo and behold, instead of pasta and wonderful sauces, it was a lovely, tempting assortment of cheeses, Yummy. I am awaiting the return of my children and grandchildren from their holiday travels so that we can demolish them… “Ps. Do you think I’ll do better playing dominos on cheese than on pasta?” (3)

And this one from Susaner Sandler on September 2 2014: “Hi John, The realtor found a handkerchief (I think it has a map that seems pizza-related. Is it yours? They can send it if you want. I know you’re busy, so feel free not to respond if it’s not yours or you don’t want it.” (4) It is Podesta’s invitation by Marina Abramovic to a ‘Spirit Cooking’ ritual, however, which may prove the most revealing. A Spirit Cooking ritual is a specific rite in which participants use the vilest of human bodily fluids in order to summon spiritual energies for assistance and favour. To any sane person, this of course sounds completely ludicrous. To a Luciferian, however, this is a practice only the enlightened and initiated can understand. The practices of the Luciferian religion are essentially an inversion of Christianity. Lower-level Satanists carry out the black mass, for example, which was developed to mock and denigrate the Catholic mass. Cannibalism and pedophilia are common practices among Luciferians; this makes John Podesta’s choice of a painting depicting cannibalism for his office particularly disturbing. When asked in an interview with Politico about the painting, Podesta replied that it’s ‘better to be the guy with the fork rather than the guy on the table’. Really, John? (5) The Spirit Cooking ritual was developed by notorious pedophile, murderer and occultist Aleister Crowley in the early 20th century. Rumours have been rampant over the years that Crowley’s Thelema religion has become widespread among intellectuals, artists and the establishment. Ultimately, Crowley’s beliefs and practices are a neo-pagan form of Satanism based on ancient Egyptian symbology. Crowley’s Luciferian sect developed its own inversion of Christ’s golden law ‘Do unto others as you would have done unto you’. Crowley’s inverted formulation is ‘Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law’. What Crowley essentially means is that whatever one’s inclination is to do then that action is morally justified. In Crowley’s denomination, the aim of the initiate is to completely destroy all semblances of human conscience and all remnants of moral restraint. This is carried out through performing progressively vile acts until one is completely enlightened, i.e. absolutely evil. It is designed to be anti-Christianity. Hillary Clinton: I Wanted to Make Voodoo Dolls of Reporters, Lawmakers and Stick Them with Pins Aaron Klein Breitbart News – NEW YORK — Hillary Clinton was so frustrated about the infamous scandal surrounding her use of a private email server that she was “tempted” to construct voodoo dolls in the images of “certain members” of the news media and Congress, and then “stick them full of pins.” (6) Clinton wrote in her 494-page new memoir, What Happened. In the book, Clinton complained that the “attacks” against her use of the private email server “were untrue or wildly overstated, and motivated by partisan politics.” She revealed her voodoo doll temptation: “It was a dumb mistake. But an even dumber “scandal.” It was like quicksand: the more you struggle, the deeper you sink. At times, I thought I must be going crazy. Other times, I was sure it was the world that had gone nuts. Sometimes I snapped at my staff. I was tempted to make voodoo dolls of certain members of the press and Congress and stick them full of pins. Mostly, I was furious at myself.” This isn’t the first time Clinton wrote about voodoo, which Google’s dictionary defines as a “religious cult practiced in the Caribbean and the southern US, combining elements of Roman Catholic ritual with traditional African magical and religious rites, and characterized by sorcery and spirit possession.” In her previous memoir, Hard Choices, Clinton described attending a voodoo spirit ceremony with a “voodoo priest” during her honeymoon with Bill Clinton in Haiti in 1975. She related in her book Hard Choices: One of the most memorable experiences of our trip was meeting a local voodoo priest named Max Beauvoir. “He invited us to attend one of his ceremonies. We saw Haitians “seized with spirits” walk on hot coals, bite the heads off live chickens, and chew glass, spit out the shards, and not bleed. At the end of the ceremony, the people claimed the dark spirits had departed.” FOLK… how do you get away with so much, so big and still remain spot free if you do not have some form of divine protection? She has been sacrificing to the gods, and we will explore more of that in further articles, but the gods have been listening and have been giving her that protection. I have to ask though, how long will it last and what is the price she is having to pay for such high supernatural Luciferian Illuminati protection? Do you have any ideas?

Join Our Servant Warrior Group I have a servant warrior Facebook group that I am revamping and bringing it back up to speed. This would be a great place to start in taking a stand and where I will post my ideas and things that Tracye and I have been doing to push forward and live a better Servant Warrior lifestyle.

'Unmasking Antifa Act Of 2018' Proposal Has Liberals Up In Arms - The Constitution Does Not Guarantee The Right To 'Violently' Protest

July 11, 2018 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

There are a long list of so-called Antifa groups that go by many names, but they have one thing in common. They claim to be "anti-Fascists," (ANTIFA) but they use fascist tactics to suppress the free speech of others if they disagree with it, by labeling their victims "fascists." Another commonality many of these groups have is they feel that violence is an acceptable tactic to prevent others from their constitutionally protected right of free speech. For example the group By Any Means Necessary (BAMN), has had one of it's most prominent organizers Yvette Felarca, declare that violence against the far right is "not a crime." Felarca has been arrested and is faced charges of inciting a riot. Flashback, September 2017: By Any Means Necessary, which has played a key role in riots in Berkeley, Sacramento and elsewhere, has dozens of public school teachers among its members, including among its most prominent leaders. The FBI and Department of Homeland Security began paying closer attention to Antifa groups in general after BAMN and other extremists started a riot and attacked marchers at a white nationalist rally in Sacramento last July, Politico reported on Friday. The Sacramento violence left at least 10 people hospitalized, several of whom had knife wounds. One of BAMN’s most prominent organizers is Yvette Felarca, a Berkeley middle school teacher and pro-violence militant. Felarca currently faces charges of inciting a riot for her role in the Sacramento violence. Another example if a group called "It's Going Down," who have openly called for violence against Trump supporters. Another thing many of these groups have in common is they show up to protest events held by conservatives, such as the more recent example of the Patriot Prayer Rally, which resulted in yet another riot in Portland, Oregon, after these Antifa members showed up wearing black clothing and face masks, then attacked prayer rally attendees. In early 2017, Antifa groups inflicted over $100,000 in damages to US Berkeley. The protesters set fires and smashed windows on the UC Berkeley campus to disrupt a scheduled appearance by Milo Yiannopoulos, a far right writer. His sold-out appearance was canceled by the university over safety concerns. Some people who had planned to attend the speaking engagement were physically attacked. When the protesters moved off campus into downtown Berkeley, in addition to smashing windows and spray painting graffiti on businesses, a Starbucks was looted. John Caner, CEO of the Downtown Berkeley Association, said that at least 10 businesses were damaged According to witnesses, some of the black-clad protesters tried to intimidate bystanders who snapped photos of the destruction, slapping phones out of people's hands and pushing them away. It is also noteworthy that the FBI and DHS, in private documents call Antifa activities "domestic terrorist activities," and have classified Antifa activities as such since 2016, according to Politico. Related: A Timeline Of Antifa Violence: January – August 2017 Here is some raw footage of an Antifa riot, deliberately organized and conducted to prevent Milo Yiannopoulos from speaking at a scheduled and sold-out event on campus. REPUBLICANS PROPOSE THE 'UNMASKING ANTIFA ACT OF 2018' Now Republicans in the House of Representatives have introduced the "Unmasking Antifa Act of 2018." The proposal was introduced by Rep. Dan Donovan (N.Y.) and is co-sponsored by GOP Reps. Pete King (N.Y.), Paul Gosar (Ariz.) and Ted Budd (N.C.). According to the text provided by the Congress.gov website, this bill is to amend title 18, United States Code, to provide penalty enhancements for committing certain offenses while in disguise, and for other purposes. SEC. 2. INTERFERENCE WITH PROTECTED RIGHTS WHILE IN DISGUISE. (a) In General.--Chapter 13 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by inserting after section 249 the following: ``Sec. 250. Interference with protected rights while in disguise ``(a) In General.--Whoever, whether or not acting under color of law, while in disguise, including while wearing a mask, injures, oppresses, threatens, or intimidates any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same, shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 15 years, or both. ``(b) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this section shall be construed so as to deter any law enforcement officer from lawfully carrying out the duties of his office; and no law enforcement officer shall be considered to be in violation of this section for lawfully carrying out the duties of his office or lawfully enforcing ordinances and laws of the United States, the District of Columbia, any of the several States, or any political subdivision of a State. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term `law enforcement officer' means any officer of the United States, the District of Columbia, a State, or political subdivision of a State, who is empowered by law to conduct investigations of, or make arrests because of, offenses against the United States, the District of Columbia, a State, or a political subdivision of a State.''. (b) Clerical Amendment.--The table of sections for chapter 13 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by inserting after the item related to section 249 the following: ``250. Interference with protected rights while in disguise.''. SEC. 3. DESTROYING BUILDINGS OR PROPERTY WITHIN SPECIAL MARITIME AND TERRITORIAL JURISDICTION WHILE IN DISGUISE. Section 1363 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following: ``Whoever, during the commission of an offense under this section, wears a disguise, including a mask, shall, in addition to any term of imprisonment otherwise imposed under this section, be imprisoned for 2 years.'' Anyone wearing a mask that violates another persons constitutional rights is subject to a fine and a maximum sentence of 15 years, and two years can be added to the sentence if they destroy property. THE SPIN HAS ALREADY BEGUN The media spin has already begun with Reason Magazine declaring "The "Unmasking Antifa Act of 2018" would basically make it a federal crime to protest while wearing a mask," while promoting their article which asserts "all sorts of acts of legal protest could be considered criminal if someone—be they with Antifa, the NRA, the KKK, or the saving kittens drive—throws on a tutu, tiara, fake mustache, mask, bandanna, or any other sort of costume element." Side Note- I find it very interesting that the Reason writer attempts to associate the NRA with Antifa or the KKK. When was the last time anyone saw an NRA protest, or an NRA event where members were wearing masks? Can anyone provide an example of an NRA protest that resulted in rioting, violence, destruction of property? Or even provide a single instance where an NRA event encouraged anyone to violate someone elses constitutional rights? The problem with Reason's line of thinking is neither the NRA nor the save kittens drive "injures, oppresses, threatens, or intimidates any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege," and neither is as extreme as the KKK, who, for the record, there are "masking" laws already on the books to protect people from. For example, as explained by Vice, "Unmasking laws are not a recent invention, and in fact, it's technically been illegal to wear a mask in Donavan's home state of New York alongside at least one other mask-wearer since 1845. That's when tenant farmers donned calico gowns and feather masks in an uprising against their landlords who were trying to evict them. According to the Wall Street Journal, these rebels tarred and feathered people and even murdered a sheriff. Later, unmasking laws would be used to combat the Ku Klux Klan in states like Alabama, where it's been illegal to wear a mask outside of certain holidays since 1949. Georgia also has an anti-masking law designed to protect against the Klan." The Daily Beast follows the "preferred narrative" of liberals by claiming "the bill could imprison masked protesters for up to 15 years," in their subheader, despite the fact that they acknowledge the legislation is against those that "“injures, oppresses, threatens, or intimidates any person” while wearing a mask or disguise.." Huffington Post also converges on the "preferred narrative" of liberals, stating "The extreme vagueness of “oppresses” and “intimidates” raises concerns that anyone who simply shows up at a protest in a mask could be put away for a very long time if the bill becomes law....." That writer goes to declare "People should not go to prison for attending protests. That is why there is an amendment to the Constitution protecting the right to free assembly..." These are intellectually dishonest arguments because the bill does not criminalize "protesters" wearing masks, just those that are violating another persons constitutional rights, and/or destroying property. Another bit of dishonesty, by omission, is the Constitution protects the right to "peaceably" assemble," which the writer surely knows. The liberals over at Splinter are claiming that Antifa, which has a long history of rioting, destroying property, attacking peaceful rallies, injuring and acting brutally violent against anyone that disagrees with them, are simply "expressing" their "right to free speech under the First Amendment." So setting aside the insanity of such a draconian punishment—a maximum possible penalty of 15 years in prison and/or an unspecified fine for wearing “a mask” while expressing your right to free speech under the First Amendment—the language of the bill is also ludicrously broad. How can you begin to cleanly define what qualifies as an act that “oppresses” or “intimidates” ANY PERSON AT ALL, even among people who are counter-protesting, say, a literal Nazi march? Aren’t those people we should feel comfortable challenging, particularly when they deign to step out in public? And what exactly qualifies as a “mask”? Again, attacking people with wooden poles with nails attached, or attacking people with bike locks to the head, or burning buildings like they did in Berkeley, is NOT "expressing your right to free speech," yet the liberal media wishes to conflate simply protesting in a non-violent manner, with what Antifa groups engage in. LIBERALS UP IN ARMS OVER PROPOSED BILL A quick search on social media for "Unmaksing Antifa Act," shows liberals, seemingly just fine with violence perpetrated against Trump supporters, which they label "neo-Nazis" and White Supremacists," are outraged (yes, again) over the "Unmasking Antica Act of 2018" proposal. We see arguments from people with "resist" in their user handle claiming "The Unmasking Antifa Act would violate the Equal Protection Clause by criminalizing the same conduct for only one class of people and not the other." Other liberals are spewing outrage by claiming "..."in case there was any confusion that this is a bill explicitly targeting their political opponents while trashing the Constitution, it's called the Unmasking Antifa Act of 2018..." Then we see other liberals jumping on the "federal crime to protest while wearing a mask," bandwagon, completely ignoring the actual terminology in the proposal about penalizing those wearing a mask while violating other peoples rights. There are hundreds, if not thousands of comments in that search term at Twitter, many in support of criminalizing terrorist behavior and violence, in contrast to the liberals of Twitter again melting down, over the bill. BOTTOM LINE - 'PEACEFULLY ASSEMBLE' The First Amendment states "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." Keyword: Peaceably. Nowhere in there, despite the liberal media's claims, guarantees the right to "violently" assemble, hiding behind masks like cowards in order to attack others, destroy buildings and property, or riot.

3 Times LAST WEEK Women Defended Themselves and Others With a Gun

Daisy Luther July 13th, 2018 The Organic Prepper Comments (10) Read by 1,147 people

I’ve often written about the fact that gun control is every bit as much of a women’s issue as equal pay and maternity leave. Anyone who believes in destroying the 2nd Amendment doesn’t understand what an equalizer a firearm can be. A determined woman with a gun can fend off a number of larger male attackers, sometimes without even firing a shot. I know this is true because I have had occasion to protect myself and my daughter with a gun in the past. But if some gun control advocates had their way, all guns would be banned. Every single one. This would take away the right of women all over the country to protect themselves. I argue constantly that guns have a place in every woman’s home. Below, you can find 3 stories about women who defended themselves and others with guns in just the past week. A Restaurant Worker in Wisconsin Miranda Schaeffer told Fox & Friends that her gun may have been the deciding factor in saving the lives of herself and a co-worker last week. She and her co-worker were physically attacked by a customer who wanted a refund at the George Webb restaurant in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where they work last Friday night, July 6, 2018. Schaeffer recounted the incident: “He didn’t look like he was playing any games with anybody. He wanted his money,” Schaefer said. “But he didn’t want to wait. Like literally maybe a minute. And as soon as [Kaehler] said you can’t come back here, that’s when he punched her. And I said ‘no, we’re not going to have no more of this.’ So I pulled out the firearm and that’s when I said ‘you’ve got to go.’” Schaefer said the assailant would have kept assaulting her and her coworker, had she not pulled out her gun and told him to move along. “He would have most definitely kept on coming,” Schaefer said. “He would have kept on hitting. He would have tried to fight both of us. The punch was originally for me because I told him no about the refund because I’m not allowed to you give the refund.” “He didn’t want to wait. And since he didn’t want to wait that’s when he punched her,” she continued. “He was going to keep on going and keep on going. It was going to be bad. That punch itself was terrible.” (source) Schaeffer’s coworker had urged her to bring the firearm to work due to a history of violent incidents at the location, as well as a lack of security. An Ex-Wife in Alabama A woman in Jefferson County, Alabama successfully defended herself against her estranged husband last week, as well. Chief Deputy Randy Christian said deputies were dispatched about 10 a.m. to a home in the 2800 block of Seventh Street N.E. A woman told lawmen her estranged husband had broken into the house and tried to sexually assault her. The woman was armed with a handgun and shot him in the leg to fend him off, Christian said. The suspect fled in vehicle but was stopped by deputies in the 1900 block of Old Springville Road. He was taken to the hospital with injuries that aren’t life-threatening. Detectives questioned the suspect, who they identified as Eric Austin. After questioning, Austin was arrested and charged with attempted rape and second-degree domestic violence. (source) The man was put under guard at the local hospital and will be sent to the Jefferson County Jail after he is released. A Mom in Texas When a Dallas, Texas mom went into the gas station for just a moment, a potential carjacker took that as an opportunity to try and steal her SUV…with her two young children inside, ages 2 and 4. “It happened so fast…Not even five minutes, not even five minutes. It happened so fast!” Booker said jumped back into the vehicle and ordered the man to stop the car. When he refused, she tried to push the gear into park as the car rolled through the parking lot. The suspect, Rickey Wright, still refused to stop, so Booker reached for her gun. “When I see that he’s not trying to stop, he kept hitting the gas, I went toward my glove compartment and grabbed my gun and I fired at him from the side,” she said. (source) She shot Wright in the face. He is in the hospital with serious injuries and has been charged with unlawful restraint and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. These women refused to be victims. These brave women didn’t wait around to be victims. They took their personal security into their own hands. Each of them got a gun and learned how to use it. They didn’t hesitate when the time came and because of this, they and others remained unscathed. Notice that none of the assailants threatened the women with a firearm. They tried to use their superior strength and size to intimidate their would-be victims. In each case, the gun served as an equalizer. Biology defies the politically correct ideal that everyone is equal. If my daughters were to ever find themselves in a position where they had to fight to save their own lives, I would far rather they be armed with the handgun of their choice than any number of weekend self-defense classes. Nothing is going to empower them more than a firearm that they can use with comfort and accuracy. Nothing is going to be more likely to end a conflict before it erupts into violence than seeing that the person you thought was going to be your victim is willing to fight back with deadly force. The idea that we all need to hand over our guns and then the world would be a safer place is nothing but a silly, rose-colored daydream with no basis in reality. If that offends you, then you need to sincerely think about the fact that under your guidelines, the smaller, weaker person will always be the victim. We all have the natural right to protect ourselves and our loved ones. Why are some people so terrified of the idea of taking control of their own safety? There is no way to guess how many times a firearm in the hands of a would-be victim deters a criminal and saves a life. The mere sight of a firearm doesn’t cause violence. It can prevent the violence that is brewing. Yes, people really DO want to take all the guns. Despite the assurances of the left that “no one is coming for your guns,” opponents of the 2nd Amendment have been a lot more vocal lately stating that this is not the truth. Last year, Lt. Governor (and would-be governor) of California Gavin Newsome flat out said on Facebook: “It’s been 5 years since 20 first graders were shot dead at Sandy Hook…We have a message for the NRA – National Rifle Association of America: If you hurt people, we ARE coming for your guns.” (source) A survey undertaken in March says that half of all Democrats want to ban ALL guns. Here are half a dozen articles with examples of people who want to take our guns. The Hill Design Mom Daily Beast Esquire Reddit Press Herald And of course, these articles are a drop in the bucket. There are many, many more. Would all of these people prefer it if the restaurant workers above were killed by their assailant? If the two children were kidnapped and killed by the carjacker? If the woman was raped by her ex-husband? Take control of your own safety. Any person who feels marginalized or vulnerable to hate crimes should be there lining up at the shooting range with me and the three women mentioned above. If you are a gay person, a minority, a transgender person, or of a religion that is being persecuted, you, too, need to take the power into your own hands to defend yourself from the bullies of this world should they physically attack you. I urge you to get a gun and take some instruction to learn how to use it, store it, and carry it safely and responsibly. (Here are some tips on choosing a gun.) If you agree with the following statements, then you cannot logically agree with the type of gun control that takes away everyone’s right to bear arms.

I have the right to keep my family safe.

I have the right to protect myself against someone bigger and stronger than me.

I have the right to protect myself when traveling.

I have the right to protect myself at work.

I have the right to be safe in public places.

I have the right not to be raped until the police arrive.

Most of us are on the same side. We want to be safe. I urge you to take that safety into your own hands like these women did, because as the saying goes, when you need help in seconds, the police are only minutes away.

In Unprecedented Move, Rosenstein Asks 100s Of Prosecutors To Review SCOTUS Pick's Records

by Tyler Durden Thu, 07/12/2018 - 05:05

In a somewhat unprecedented move, Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein has asked the offices of all 93 U.S. attorneys to each provide up to three federal prosecutors to assist the Justice Department in reviewing government records of President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Even The New York Times admits this move is "an unusual insertion of politics into federal law enforcement." While the Justice Department has helped work on previous Supreme Court nominations, department lawyers in Washington typically carry out that task, not prosecutors who pursue criminal investigations nationwide. Mr. Rosenstein’s email, which had the subject line “Personal Message to U.S. Attorneys From the Deputy A.G.,” included the sentence, “We need your help in connection with President Trump’s nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to serve on the Supreme Court.” Former law enforcement officials told the Times that Rosenstein's request is troubling. "It’s flat-out wrong to have career federal prosecutors engaged in a political process like the vetting of a Supreme Court nominee. It takes them away from the mission they’re supposed to be fulfilling, which is effective criminal justice enforcement," Christopher Hunter, a former F.B.I. agent and federal prosecutor for almost 11 years, told the publication. But Michael Zubrensky, a former Justice Department lawyer who oversaw the agency's Office of Legal Policy, said Kavanaugh's long paper trail could be the reason for Rosenstein's request. Sarah Isgur Flores, spokeswoman for the Department of Justice, told the Times that prosecutors have been used in the past to vet Supreme Court nominees. "[T]he scope of the production of executive branch documents we’ve been asked for is many, many times as large," she said. Rosenstein also wrote that he would need the equivalent of 100 full-time attorneys to work on the nominee's confirmation hearing. As The Hill notes, Kavanaugh previously worked for President George W. Bush's administration, as well as for the investigation led by Kenneth Starr of former President Clinton. He left a lengthy paper trail that Democrats and outside groups opposed to his nomination are likely to search through for arguments against his confirmation. Rosenstein has faced pressure from congressional Republicans over his role in overseeing special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. Democrats have raised the Mueller probe in the context of Kavanaugh's nomination, arguing that he should not be confirmed because he could end up making decisions on the probe itself.

NATO pledges to boost defense spending after stern words from Trump

By Brooke Singman | Fox News day ago White House

NATO leaders pledged their “unwavering commitment” to boost defense spending on Wednesday, following stern words from President Trump criticizing European leaders for spending too little. The U.S. and European allies signed a declaration stating they are “committed to improving the balance of sharing the costs and responsibilities of alliance membership.” The declaration comes after confrontational and testy discussions between Trump and other NATO leaders. Since the election, Trump has criticized NATO countries for not paying their fair share, while suggesting he would only come to the defense of NATO nations that fulfilled their financial obligation. Trump also has pressed NATO countries to fulfill their goal of spending 2 percent of their gross domestic products on defense by 2024. NATO estimates that 15 members, or just over half, will meet that benchmark based on current trends. As NATO vows to pursue those targets, Trump is seeking even more. Via Twitter, he called for members to meet the 2 percent commitment immediately. And in a statement Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said Trump, at the summit, "suggested that countries not only meet their commitment of 2 percent of their GDP on defense spending, but that they increase it to 4 percent. Trump wants to see our allies share more of the burden and at a very minimum meet their already stated obligations." Before sitting down for the first official meeting of the day, the president engaged in a testy exchange with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. He pressed why the U.S. should continue to pay money to the military alliance while the countries purchase energy from Moscow. “We are stronger together,” Stoltenberg said, while acknowledging there can be differences among allies. “But how can you be together when you’re getting energy from the group you want protection from?” Trump responded, using Germany as an example. Trump challenged Stoltenberg to explain why Berlin was getting energy from Russia, and asserted that Germany was “totally controlled” by and “captive to Russia” over a pipeline project. That pipeline project, Nord Stream 2 pipeline, doubles the amount of gas Russia can send directly to Germany, while sidestepping transit countries like Ukraine. The project is opposed by the U.S. and some European Union members. “We’re supposed to protect you against Russia and yet you make this deal with Russia,” Trump said of Germany. “Explain that. It can’t be explained.” Trump followed up on Twitter: "What good is NATO if Germany is paying Russia billions of dollars for gas and energy? Why are there only 5 out of 29 countries that have met their commitment? The U.S. is paying for Europe’s protection, then loses billions on Trade. Must pay 2% of GDP IMMEDIATELY, not by 2025."

Former Secretary of State John Kerry later blasted Trump’s comments about Germany as “strange” and “counterproductive.” “It was disgraceful, destructive, and flies in the face of the actual interests of the United States of America,” Kerry said in a statement, claiming Trump “set America back this morning.” “He is steadily destroying our reputation in the world,” Kerry said, adding that Trump displayed a “woeful ignorance” of European defense spending. Anticipation has built for weeks over how confrontational the meeting might be, given the U.S. president's complaints about trade and NATO allies' military budgets -- and how the summit might compare with Trump's scheduled meeting in Finland with Russia's Vladimir Putin. That meeting has riled Democrats in Washington amid the probe over Russian meddling in the election. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer tweeted Wednesday, "President Trump should not meet with President Putin alone." The summit in Brussels is the first stop on Trump’s four-country European tour where tensions already have risen over tariffs and the potential trade war between the European Union and the U.S. Trump implemented tariffs of 25 percent on steel and 10 percent on aluminum imports, and the EU is pushing to retaliate. The president met first with French President Emmanuel Macron, who said the U.S. and France "will continue to work together." Trump said they discussed their "tremendous relationship," and talked about trade. Trump also met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The president told reporters they discussed military spending and trade, and touted their "good relationship." The next stop on the president’s tour will be Britain, amid a tumultuous climate for Prime Minister Theresa May. May’s government is in turmoil over her plans for exiting the European Union. This week, U.K. Foreign Minister Boris Johnson stunningly resigned amid the growing backlash over May and her handling of Britain’s departure from the EU. Johnson resigned less than 24 hours after Brexit Secretary David Davis and junior Brexit minister Steve Baker left their posts in protest of how the government is handling Brexit. Trump suggested Tuesday that he may meet with Johnson when he gets over there. Trump, who has been vocal in his support of Brexit, is slated to meet with May on Friday. Trump’s tour will continue with a stop in Scotland over the weekend, then conclude with his final stop in Helsinki, Finland on Monday for his highly anticipated summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump suggested that his meeting with Putin could be the “easiest” stop on the European tour, after confrontational talks with NATO and EU leaders.

Trump Takes on NATO

His focus is more about balancing the economic playing field rather than securing military alliances.

Political Editors · Jul. 11, 2018

If we’ve learned anything about President Donald Trump, it’s that he hates bad deals. He especially hates those bad deals that are costing the American taxpayer. Trump has repeatedly blasted how unfairly the U.S. has been treated in international trade. These unfair trade deals have been his primary justification for imposing tariffs. But Trump has also voiced criticism of America’s historical military alliances, specifically in regards to the U.S. having borne the lion’s share of defense costs. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in particular has been one of Trump’s favorite targets, as he again made clear last week in Great Falls, Montana, stating at a rally, “I’m going to tell NATO, ‘You got to start paying your bills. The United States is not going to take care of everything.’” On Tuesday, Trump headed to the NATO summit where many of Europe’s leaders have been wondering just how serious he is about balancing the scales. If last month’s G7 summit indicated anything, it’s that Trump will not be moved simply because of historical precedent. For Trump, the U.S. has been getting a raw deal and he intends to rectify it. But it would be a mistake to see this as simply a play by Trump to get NATO allies to spend more on their military defense. For Trump, this ultimately is about rebalancing the U.S.‘ economic relationship with Europe. After arriving at the NATO summit, it didn’t take the president long to deliver his message. Trump once again aired his grievance to NATO’s European leaders that the U.S. was “spending far too much” on defense. But Trump aimed his most pointed criticism at Germany. Speaking to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, Trump said, “Germany, as far as I’m concerned, is captive to Russia because it’s getting so much of its energy from Russia. Explain that. We’re supposed to be guarding against Russia and Germany goes out and pays billions and billions of dollars a year to Russia.” Trump added, “I think it’s very sad when Germany makes a massive oil and gas deal with Russia where we’re supposed to be guarding against Russia.” Trump was referencing a pipeline deal that Germany and Russia have brokered. Germany is the European Union’s leading importer of natural gas from Russia, amounting to 40% of the country’s annual natural gas purchases. Trump further noted, “The former chancellor of Germany is head of the pipeline company that’s supplying the gas. You tell me, is that appropriate? I’ve been complaining about this from the time I got here.” Trump’s complaint is legitimate and NATO nations known it. But like when a new boss comes in calling for changes to an underperforming, recalcitrant company, the old management will often chafe angrily against those demands. While several European leaders have expressed concerns that Trump is not committed to NATO, the facts simply don’t support this accusation, as White House officials recently noted that Trump had done more to secure NATO allies than Barack Obama did in his “first six years in office.” For example, it was Trump who gave the green light to supply Ukraine with long-requested weapons to defend itself against Russian aggression, something Obama repeatedly refused to do. Far from abandoning NATO, Trump is working to reform it, to whip it back into shape. And in so doing, he’s rebalancing our military alliance commitments with NATO nations as well as working to pave the way for a level economic relationship between the U.S. and Europe. According to NATO’s 2014 defense spending agreement, member nations are to spend 2% of their GDP on defense by 2024. Below is a graph showing where nations currently stand. (Note: Not all NATO nations are represented on the graph.)

North Korea reportedly pushed $1 billion nuclear blackmail to Israel — and it shows Pyongyang's real threat

A North Korean diplomat reportedly told an Israeli diplomat in 1999 that Pyongyang would provide ballistic missile technology to Iran unless it paid $1 billion.

North Korea has nuclear weapons, but it's deterred from using them because it would be nuked right back in a more massive response.

But if North Korea sells nuclear weapons and related technology, another rogue state or terror organization may feel less restrained to actually use them.

Even if North Korea doesn't sell weapons, it can still blackmail countries like Israel with its nuclear leverage.

A North Korean diplomat reportedly told an Israeli diplomat in 1999 that Pyongyang would provide ballistic missile technology to Iran, a state sworn to destroy Israel, unless it paid up to the tune of $1 billion. North Korea has a long and well documented history of providing weapons technology, including chemical and nuclear weapon infrastructure, to countries like Iran and Syria. While Pyongyang commands a few dozen operational nuclear warheads, according to intelligence reports, its real threat to the world lies not in starting an outright nuclear war, but in selling nuclear weapons to states, or terrorists, that may use them. It's unclear if Israel ever paid North Korea's blackmail, though Israel would later destroy an Iranian nuclear reactor that North Korea was suspected of helping build. North Korea selling nukes is a bigger threat than just building them If North Korea launched a nuclear attack, it would swiftly find itself on the receiving end of more powerful, more precise nuclear weapons. North Korea's nuclear weapons serve mainly to deter attacks. But because of North Korea's decision to defy international law by testing and developing nuclear weapons, it finds itself under heavy sanctions and impoverished. This leaves North Korea as a cash-hungry state with an excess of nuclear weapons and ballistic missile technology. A terror group or fellow rogue state, seeing the legitimacy and national power nuclear weapons have bestowed upon North Korea, might seek to buy nuclear technology off Pyongyang. While many experts generally expect North Korea to maintain the status quo with its nuclear weapons by using them mainly to deter enemies, it's less clear that Iran, Syria, or especially a terror network would show such restraint. "Depending on the demand, we certainly cannot exclude the possibility that North Korea will sell its nuclear weapons for cash," said Nam Sung-wook, a former South Korean intelligence official told the Wall Street Journal, who first reported on North Korea's attempted blackmail. The UN has concluded that North Korea has a long history of weapons cooperation with Iran and Syria, the US's two foremost nation-state enemies in the Middle East. Iran's stated goal is to destroy Israel, and while their conventional military offers them little hope of achieving that, nuclear weapons actually could do the job. Trump isn't doing anything about this The US under President Donald Trump has lowered the threat of outright nuclear war with North Korea following talks and a summit with Kim Jong Un, but no work towards denuclearization appears to have actually taken place. North Korea has not shared with the US any details of its nuclear program, and the US has no specifics from the Kim regime on how many weapons it has or where it keeps them. So despite Trump's insistence that North Korea isn't a threat anymore, there's absolutely no way of knowing if Kim would provide nuclear weapons to aggressive states, or use that leverage to blackmail countries for fear of nuclear war.

Ireland moves to criminalize trade with settlements, drawing Israeli ire

Palestinians welcome Irish Senate's advancement of bill setting prison time for those who import settlement goods; proposal still faces hurdles to become law

By Raphael Ahren 11 July 2018, 7:30 pm

In a bitter diplomatic defeat for Israel, the upper house of Ireland’s parliament on Wednesday advanced legislation that would criminalize the import and trade of goods produced in the settlements. The Control of Economic Activities (Occupied Territories) Bill 2018 passed a second reading by the Irish Senate, known as Seanad Éireann, with 25 “yes” votes, 20 “no” votes and 14 abstentions. The bill still faces several hurdles before it becomes law. The advancement of the legislation was denounced by Israel and hailed by Palestinian officials and Arab Israeli Knesset members. “The Irish Senate has given its support to a populist, dangerous and extremist anti-Israel boycott initiative that hurts the chances of dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians; it will have a negative impact on the diplomatic process in the Middle East,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement. “The absurd in the Irish Senate’s initiative is that it will harm the livelihoods of many Palestinians who work in the Israeli industrial zones affected by the boycott,” read the statement, issued by the ministry’s spokesperson, Emmanuel Nahshon. “Israel will consider its response in accordance with developments regarding this legislation.” The Palestinians, meanwhile, celebrated the vote. “This courageous step builds on the historic ties between Ireland and Palestine, as well as it shows the way forward for the rest of the European Union,” top Palestine Liberation Organization official Saeb Erekat said in a statement issued before the vote was taken. “Today the Irish Seanad has sent a clear message to the international community and particularly to the rest of the European Union: the mere talking about the two-state solution is not enough without taking concrete measures. Those trading with Israeli settlements are complicit in the systematic denial of the Palestinian right to self-determination.” The Joint (Arab) List also welcomed the bill, saying it hoped it would “mark the beginning of a new stage in which Israel starts to pay an international political, economic and moral price for its actions.” The bill’s passage would start “a new stage in treating the Zionist lobby as a danger the values that Europe claims to represent,” the Arab Israeli party said. The government in Dublin — known to be one of the most pro-Palestinian governments in Europe — opposed the bill, arguing that it is not legally entitled to curtail trade with Israeli companies based in the settlements. “On behalf of the government I am unable to agree that this bill is the way forward,” Foreign Minister Simon Coveney said during the discussion that preceded the vote. While the foreign minister said he could “emotionally connect” with the bill, lamenting the “deep injustice” that Palestinians have suffered for decades, Coveney said there were important legal and political reasons to oppose the bill. For one, as a member of the European Union, Ireland does not have the right to ban the import of goods that are available elsewhere in the union, he said. In fact, he said, “passage of the bill would be a breach of European law,” adding that Ireland’s attorney general confirmed this view. Perhaps even more importantly, Coveney added, advancing the bill would not only sideline Ireland as a party that both Israelis and Palestinians would take seriously but would also greatly diminish Dublin’s ability to influence EU policy on the Middle East. Ireland would be “fanning the flames” of an already volatile Middle East if it passed the legislation, he said. The sponsor of the bill, Independent Senator Frances Black, disagreed with Coveney’s legal assessment, citing two legal opinions that support her view. The proposed legislation does not constitute a boycott of Israel but only of the settlements, she stressed. “We must be clear on this: Israeli settlements in the West Bank are war crimes,” she said. The government’s policy of seeking to engage with Israel “isn’t working,” she added, lamenting that Dublin continues to condemn the settlements but fails to act. “As long as we buy their stolen goods, nothing will change,” she said. Ahead of the speech, Black said she was a bit a nervous because she had been told that “the whole of Palestine is listening.” The proposed legislation — a private member bill — declares it an offense “for a person to import or attempt to import settlement goods.” Likewise, those who “assist another person to import or attempt to import settlement goods” would be committing a crime punishable by up to five years in prison, if the bill were to become law. “The bill seeks to prohibit the import and sale of goods, services and natural resources originating in illegal settlements in occupied territories,” Black said in a statement posted to her website on June 25. “Such settlements are illegal under both international humanitarian law and domestic Irish law, and result in human rights violations on the ground. Despite this, Ireland provides continued economic support through trade in settlement goods.” While the bill does not mention Israel and the Palestinian territories, critics have charged that it appears to have been written exclusively with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in mind. Black, a former singer from Dublin who entered parliament in 2016, has long been supportive of the Palestinian cause and a fierce critic of Israel’s settlement enterprise. “I saw the impact of settlement expansion when I visited the West Bank this year: the restrictions on movement, the shrinking space for housing and healthcare, the lack of electricity,” she wrote in an op-ed for the Irish Times published earlier Wednesday. “I witnessed the crushing indignity of a Palestinian community cut off from their water supply so that it could be diverted to an Israeli chicken farm. That commercial settlement, built on stolen land beyond internationally recognized borders, is a war crime. Is the moral response to condemn the illegality, but then ask how much for the eggs?” Black also said that she invited two Palestinian farmers to Dublin who have been directly affected by Israel’s settlement policies. “Mona and Fayez al-Taneeb have been living in the shadow of Israel’s illegal annexation wall since 2003, fighting against the demolition of their farm and the confiscation of their land by a commercial Israeli settlement,” she wrote. “The very presence of this settlement is a gross violation of international law, but this offers little consolation to the people whose lives hang in the balance. Encroachment continues, land is seized, and more than 40 percent of the West Bank has now been taken, undermining the viability of a sustainable Palestinian state.” The bill has at least half a dozen legislative obstacles to clear, including several readings in the lower house of Ireland’s parliament, known as Dáil Éireann, before it can be signed into law by President Michael Higgins. On January 30, the Irish Senate surprisingly postponed voting on the bill, hours after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sharply criticized the proposed legislation. “The initiative gives backing to those who seek to boycott Israel and completely contravenes the guiding principles of free trade and justice,” Netanyahu said, hours before the planned vote. Despite the vote being delayed, Netanyahu ordered the Foreign Ministry to summon the Irish ambassador in Israel, Alison Kelly.

Mainstream Media Admits FBI Groomed Terrorist for 4th of July Attack, Gave Him Supplies

by The Free Thought Project · Published July 5, 2018 · Updated July 5, 2018

Mainstream Media Admits FBI Groomed Terrorist for 4th of July Attack, Gave Him Supplies By Rachel Blevins – The Free Thought Project

The FBI arrested a man for his involvement in plotting an Independence Day terrorist attack, after providing him with the supplies. Cleveland, Ohio – An innocent man is now facing terrorism charges after he was caught plotting a bombing at a Fourth of July celebration and then arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The only problem is that the plot was created by undercover FBI agents, who convinced the man to agree to a role in the plan, and then provided him with supplies. Demetrius Pitts, 48, is now facing criminal charges after conversations with undercover agents led to his arrest. According to the criminal complaint against Pitts, the FBI claimed that its agents reached out to him because he made comments on Facebook that indicated he may be interested in joining al-Qaeda, traveling overseas for training, and then returning to the U.S. to carry out an attack. While it is not clear what the comments from Pitts—who was reportedly using a Facebook account with a different name—stated exactly, it is clear that there was no indication he actually planned on carrying out a terrorist attack. In fact, a report from NBC News admitted that “there’s no indication that Pitts could have carried off any attack on his own.” FBI Special Agent in Charge Stephen Anthony justified the contact by insisting that instead of waiting to see if Pitts ever joined al-Qaeda and traveled overseas for training, agents were completely justified in reaching out to Pitt and trying to convince him to carry out an attack now. “Law enforcement cannot stand by and wait for Mr. Pitts to make a violent attack,” Anthony said. Pitts agreed to meet an undercover agent in person, and the criminal complaint claimed that the agent secretly recorded their conversations, which revolved around wanting to assassinate President Trump, and planning a terrorist attack in Cleveland. “I’m trying to figure out something that would shake them up on the Fourth of July,” Pitts told the agent. However, the complaint raises questions about how much Pitts even wanted to be involved with the planned attack, because he simply wanted to “go look at the base of the ground” where it would take place, and he wanted the other “brothers” who the FBI agent claimed were involved, to fulfil all of the other parts of the plan. “I don’t wanna meet all the Brothers,” Pitts said in one conversation. “Now what about the detonator guy?” the agent asked. “Now I don’t even wanna meet him,” Pitts replied. “He has nothing to do with me… The only thing I’m going to be responsible for is going to look at the spot, to scope out the scenery.” In order to carry out his role, Pitts needed a bus pass to take him downtown and a cellphone to take photos of the places that would be bombing targets—both of which were supplied by the FBI. fbi Given the fact that he did not provide any of the supplies needed for the attack, he did not want to be the one who carried out the attack, and he simply promised to provide a basic layout of downtown Cleveland, proves that Demetrius Pitts was clearly not the ticking time bomb the FBI claimed he was. The report claimed that Pitts was sentenced to prison for a robbery in 1989, and he pleaded guilty to theft in 2007. His latest run-in with the law occurred in 2016 when the state of Pennsylvania requested that Pitts be extradited on assault, robbery and theft charges. Pitts has now been charged with providing material support to a terrorist organization because he agreed to use a cellphone and a bus pass provided by the FBI to take photos of downtown Cleveland. Diane Stoudemire, Pitts’ aunt, told USA Today that she was shocked by the news and that Pitts has “never been a violent person.” “He had had some problems with drugs and everything,” Stoudemire said. “He came up without his father, which is my brother, that was killed before Demetrius was born. His mother passed away while Demetrius was in penitentiary, so he’s been having such a hard time.” This is not the first the FBI has used its undercover agents to befriend a man online who looks like he may be critical of the U.S. government and sympathetic to terrorist groups in the Middle East, and has convinced him to carry out an attack on U.S. soil—so that the FBI can then heroically arrest the suspect, even if he refused to carry out the attack. In December, the FBI was credited with stopping a man from carrying out an ISIS inspired attack after their undercover agents attempted to coerce him into it, but when he refused to carry out the attack, he was still painted as a “terrorist,” and he now faces up to 20 years in prison. Then in March, a similar incident happened when an FBI informant targeted a mentally ill man who agreed online, to carry out an attack and was arrested as soon as he claimed he would accept supplies from the FBI. While the FBI appears to have intentionally sought out the men its agents befriended in all three cases, the agency chose to ignore several reports about a suspect who was actually planning an attack. The FBI received multiple credible reports that Nikolas Cruz was planning to commit mass murder in the months before the Parkland shooting. Less than six weeks before the shooting, someone the FBI described as “a person close to” Cruz reached out to the agency and desperately pleaded for their help. The person reported Cruz’s “gun ownership, desire to kill people, erratic behavior, and disturbing social media posts, as well as the potential of him conducting a school shooting.” Yet the FBI apparently chose to focus on fictitious cases and did nothing to interfere with Cruz’s rampage.

What Price Are You Willing To Pay To Save America?

Jul 05, 2018 Read More Articles by Dave Daubenmire

It is the 4th of July afternoon as I sit and pen these thoughts. While most of America is out boating or golfing, visiting parades or parents, lighting sparklers or swallowing beverages I find myself sitting at home feeling especially nostalgic. I don’t feel bad and I don’t feel sad, I simply FEEL much of what is going on around me. It is something deep, almost spiritual really, that hunt and pecks my fingers across the keyboard. I carved this time out during this day of celebration because my heart is turned toward reflection. My emotions were triggered by watching one of those corny man-on-the-street interviews so common on social media where a man with a camera and a microphone takes to the streets to prove how dumbed-down the American populace really is. “What do we celebrate on the 4th of July?” the man with the microphone asked some twenty somethings as they traipsed down the street of a secularized American city. Although the purpose of the video was humor, it was hard to find anything to laugh about as one after another of the cellphone zombies searched their public school lobotomized rolodex to find the answer to such a seemingly simple American history fact. Ignorance is never pretty to watch and I found very little edification in the-who-gives-a-crap attitude of these possible American voters. I think it was Thomas Jefferson who said something akin to “he who thinks we can remain ignorant and free whishes for what never was or never will be.” How many billions of dollars have Americans spent simply to make people dumber? The National Education Association and the US Department of Education should be brought up on charges of treason. Heck, college educated students today can’t distinguish between a man and a woman. Jethro Bodine and Elly May Clampett figured that out without having spent one day at an IVY League school. Why do we pay so much for so many to be so ignorant? Americans have traded what they dare not lose for what they cannot keep. My thoughts flowed to Gettysburg this morning and to a recent visit that I made to the “hallowed ground” where on July 1, 2, and 3 of 1863 the most cataclysmic clash in the history of America spilled over the hills of Pennsylvania. On July 3rd nearly 55,000 casualties fell upon the dust of Cemetery Ridge during one blood-soaked morning…Americans killing AmericansIt was those boys I thought of this morning. Not the good for nothing college aged punks streaming onto the streets of America in protest of losing their right to murder their children and in support of a giveaway to foreign invaders the heritage for which their ancestors had, as Lincoln accurately stated, “thus far so nobly advanced.” We are witnessing a travesty in this nation this morning. It grieves my heart that the great-great-grandchildren of the men who spilled the blood at Gettysburg would be so willing to give away what cost their ancestors “their last full measure of devotion.” What a slap in the face to their sacrifice. Did you know that the average age of a Union soldier was 25 years old? Were you aware that over 3 million such American fought each other and that over 700,000 Americans were killed by their fellow Americans? FACTS. In the 21st century how could so great of a nation produce such selfish and insolent posterity? So as I surf the net I see the seeds of insurrection bearing fruit as America’s recent public school graduates take to the streets with absolutely no knowledge of the sacrifices of those who came before them. The government schools have programmed them…indoctrinated them…in an America-hating ideology force-fed them by the Communistic NEA. Today, even some “national leaders” are calling for insurrection against a duly elected President. My heart tells me that it will not be long until we see violence in the streets of America. Here is the take-home. Most Americans just want to be left alone. They are tired of homo-policy gangs, and brutal baby killers masquerading as defenders of children. It is not the Christians that are “forcing their belief on others” but the insurrectionists who demand equally for their deviancy and acceptance of their debauchery. The last I looked it was the Leftist who were using the jackhammers to chip away at American hero monuments across this land. The chickens are coming home to roost. The children of disobedience are spilling out into our streets. These demonically powered protestors will not go silently into the night. Every major victory the Left has won has been snatched through the courts. Despite what they tell you NONE of their diabolical agenda has ever been approved by the will of the American people. Freedom isn’t free, as the old saying goes, and we now find ourselves facing a caged animal. The Left’s last vestige of power, the Supreme Court, is slipping through their fingers and they understand what most of us have yet to figure out. The LEFT rules by tyranny. Forced acceptance is their method of evangelism. The courts are their enforcers of lawlessness. So, here on Independence Day I pray that you sit with your posterity and explain to them the meaning of independence and the sacrifices that those who came before them made. Although Lincoln’s words would have had more meaning had they been uttered by a President that understood individual liberty and State sovereignty they nonetheless ring true today. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. It is a perilous time to be an American and as is often repeated by military veterans who understand sacrifice, ALL GAVE SOME AND SOME GAVE ALL. America needs a new birth of freedom. Making America Great Again will not come easy. There are enemies of liberty within the camp and they will not go down without a fight. Do you have the courage it will require to birth this spirit of liberty? Look deeply into the eyes of your grandbabies. What price are you willing to pay?

Symbolic Pics of the Month 07/18

By Vigilant Citizen - July 4, 2018

In this edition of SPOTM: The fashion world losing its mind, a bunch of celebrities trying to stay relevant and more proof of the occult elite revealing its true ugly face. The fashion show by designer Xander Zhou featured male models walking around with fake pregnant bellies. There is a clear and constant effort to blur genders and to confuse people about their natural differences. And the fashion world is part of that effort. Also, the feminization of men is of the utmost importance. Dude, you do not need to hold that belly because * newflash * YOU’RE NOT PREGNANT. This model wears a t-shirt saying “New World Baby”. Commenting on the meaning of this shirt, the designer stated: “We’re prepared to welcome a future of male pregnancy.” In a Teen Vogue article about this fashion show, the conclusion was: “People of all gender identities can become pregnant.” They’re truly losing it. No matter how much outright brainwashing mass media will dish out, one undeniable fact will always remain: Only women can be pregnant. That’s it. Deal with it. The Spanish fashion brand Palomo shot to prominence in a few short years after getting endorsements by the likes of Beyonce. The brand’s 2018 fall-winter ad campaign is in perfection continuation of the gender blurring/ feminization/dehumanization agenda going on in the fashion world. The campaign features young male models dressed in Peter Pan-like clothes, crawling on all fours while attached to leashes. etc. etc. etc.

If You’ve Nothing to Hide,You Should Welcome Google’s New Surveillance System

By Dave Hodges

On this 4th of July holiday, I am working on several stories that I have been told by several sources are true. However, some of the material may be classified and can only be revealed as rumor or most commonly through open source intelligence. I am working on several stories by trying to verify the information through open source intelligence on the Internet. However, one story that is unbelievable, but is absolutely true and it called the social justice, social point scoring system being installed by Google in Communist China. After reading this article, it will become clear why messages of freedom, freedom loving Christianity are being censored by social media. If You Have Not Done Anything Wrong, You Should Not Have Anything to Hide This viewpoint graphically represents what is going on inside of China courtesy of Google (good luck finding this article on the web, if you do not come to The Common Sense Show, directly). We know that the NSA tracks every move you make and every breath you take. Some estimates say that you are videotaped and photographed an average of 1300 times per day. Your cell phone, even with your battery removed transmits your location and records every conversation that you have within listening range of the cell phone. I have previously reported that the NSA maintains a 16 category dimensional score, which is fluid based upon your affiliations, browsing habits, context of conversations, (ie loyalty to the authority). Based upon your 16 point dimensional score, you are also assigned, by AI, an overall aggregate score. It is theorized, but widely believed that your aggregate score will be used to prioritize who is taken and who is terminated in a purge. On this July 4th, it is important to remember your future due process is determined by an AI algorithm. Ask yourself why the natch and grab policy of the NDAA was implemented? It is for “the purge”. As with most controversial policies and legal changes, there is a period of conditioning for public acclimation and submission and this will be followed by beta testing. The aforementioned Beta testing is currently happening in China in the social point system scoring algorithm being finalized in China. the system is gradually being introduced to the United States and ultimately, it represents the total loss of freedom. For America to Survive Google Must be Defeated The Communist Chinese government is near completion on a broad spectrum system of analysis that tracks your overall behavior from the time to you wake, live out your day, retire that night and arise the next morning. The behavior of a person in this system is scored with point system, similar to what the NSA does with your personal tracking data that categorizes people into euphemistic categories such as “Red list-Blue list, etc)” The personal spy system of surveillance, in China, is called the social credit system.” This system was rolled out four years ago and contains many Asian and Chinese-specific cultural taboos. For example, throughout the Asian world, a collective psychology, along with eg0-centered suppression behaviors are honored as opposed to the West’s individual achievement mantra. Subsequently, according to one Chinese communist government document. “keeping trust is glorious and breaking trust is disgraceful.” This made China the optimal place to beta test this ultimate control device over a population. Google is behind this system and therefore, Google must be defeated. Piloting the Inevitable The social credit system program is already mandatory and there are no opt outs. The expected completion of Google’s AI system is expected to be completed by the year 2020. However, the system is already enforcing Communist China’s edicts of displaying the proper respect for the ruling authority. The scheme has already proven successful in controlling much of the Chinese and their personal behavior. The system has already been integrated into various levels of government ranging from city government to the vast Chinese national government. Part of Google’s beta test includes managing personal behavior on a micro level. The most minute of infractions can cause one’s social credit score to plummet. Some examples of prohibited behaviors in China that are tracked include speeding, stopping to close to the intersection, jaywalking (determined by the GPS in one’s electronic devices, touching the center line or shoulder while driving, eating too many unhealthy fast foods which drives up medical costs, drinking too much alcohol, visiting subversive websites that have not been blocked by the Communist Party, smoking in no-smoking area, buying too many video games and posting “fake news” to the internet, spending too much time on the Internet, saying or publishing anything remotely critical of the ruling authority at any level from one’s professors, to one’s landlord to one’s local city council member. Consequences for Non-Compliance There are a multitude of consequences that can occur. Patrick Wood and his book on technocracy highlights some of the social and economic consequences for displaying the wrong behaviors: Travel can be denied. (Editor’s Note: This is already happening in the United States with the n0-fly lists). Internet speeds can be lessened. (Editor’s Note: This is something, that to date, that the cell phone carriers wanted to implement with the in charge. It will happen if a liberal is elected President in 2020). One can be denied a permit, or have an existing permit to work revoked. One can be denied housing. (Editor’s note: If the price of housing in California sweeps the country, most people will be living in federally funded housing, thus giving the government more control over your behavior. Did you know that an annual income of less that $117,000 qualifies one for public assistance in San Francisco?) Denied education both for oneself and one’s children. (Editor’s note: Is this why we are seeing social justice warriors on so many college campuses today as they enforce compliance to liberal world view?). Denied credit cards. (Editor’s note: Ask yourself why you just cannot pay cash to stay in a hotel, you need a credit card?) Denied the right to stay in a hotel. Good citizens are awarded more matches on dating websites. Good citizens are given reductions in energy costs, groceries and other important resources needed for day-to-day living. (Editor’s note: Doesn’t this remind you of grocery store and gas station loyalty rewards cards? What about public utilities charging less for off-peak use in a massive conditioning of the public that the government controls your use of utilities). People with high social credit scores are given preferential treatment for hiring and at higher salaries. Sources; Patrick Wood and Beijing News Conclusion It should be clear as to why the social media monopolies are censoring all conservative thought, because it is going to be forbidden in the Google world of social justice. The genesis of this control begins with a national ID card which is being implemented all across the United States over the next few years. Everything about is stored on this remotely programmable chip. The following video is an excellent, yet somewhat satirical approach to total control.

Boys are forced to rape their MOTHERS and little girls are told witchcraft will allow them to catch bullets: UN report reveals mass rape and cannibalism in Congo war

Horrific atrocities taking place in the Kasai region of Congo, UN report reveals

Accounts of rebel and government troops committing rape and cannibalism

Witnesses recall seeing people cutting up, cooking and eating human flesh, including penises cut from men who were still alive and from corpses

Group of Kamuina Nsapu militia spotted sporting female genitals as medals

Conflict erupted in 2016, involving Kamuina Nsapu and Bana Mura militias and Congo's armed force

By Julian Robinson for MailOnline and Reuters Published: 12:51 EDT, 3 July 2018 | Updated: 12:03 EDT, 4 July 2018

Horrific atrocities including mass rape and cannibalism are taking place in a war in the Democratic Republic of Congo, according to a UN report. Testimony from the country's Kasai region included boys being forced to rape their mothers, little girls being told witchcraft would allow them to catch bullets, and women forced to choose gang-rape or death. Both rebels and government troops have committed atrocities during the conflict including dismemberment of civilians, according to accounts published by a team of U.N. human rights experts who said the world must pay heed. The team investigating a conflict in the region told the U.N. Human Rights Council last week that they suspected all sides were guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Their detailed 126-page report catalogued gruesome attacks committed in the conflict, which erupted in late 2016, involving the Kamuina Nsapu and Bana Mura militias and Congo's armed forces, the FARDC. 'What happened in the Kasai simply beggars description,' Congo's Human Rights Minister Marie-Ange Mushobekwa told the Council. 'One victim told us that in May 2017 she saw a group of Kamuina Nsapu militia, some of whom sported female genitals (clitorises and vaginas) as medals,' the report said. 'Some witnesses recalled seeing people cutting up, cooking and eating human flesh, including penises cut from men who were still alive and from corpses, especially FARDC, and drinking human blood.' Lead investigator Bacre Waly Ndiaye told the Council that in one incident, at least 186 men and boys from a single village were beheaded by Kamuina Nsapu, many of whose members were children forced to fight, unarmed or wielding sticks, and were convinced that magic had made them invulnerable. Many such child soldiers were killed when FARDC soldiers machine-gunned them indiscriminately, he said. 'The bodies were often buried in mass graves... or were sometimes piled in trucks by soldiers to be buried elsewhere.' There were initially thought to be about 86 mass graves, but after investigating on the ground the team suspected there may be hundreds, he said. A Congolese government spokesman told Reuters that such information should be passed to magistrates in Congo. 'We were not aware of this and it is very curious. But it is clearly a politically motivated press campaign that has nothing to do with justice,' he said. Mushobekwa said the government had given the expert team its whole-hearted cooperation and wanted the truth to come out, but she said some of the findings were 'rather doubtful' because the investigation had been done quickly. 'One thing is absolutely certain. Each element of law enforcement and security forces that is responsible for these crimes will answer for their actions and will be severely punished,' she said.

8 Recent Stories That Show Our World Has Gone Mad And One That Provides Us The Remedy To The Madness: Christian Prayer

By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die July 4th, 2018

With the 'unhinged resistance' on the left now fully on display as Susan Duclos reported in this July 3rd ANP story in which she told us about a threat levied against the family of Senator Rand Paul by an Obama-supporting Democrat to cut up his entire family into tiny pieces, simply opening up the Drudge Report on Tuesday evening gave us an entirely new slew of stories providing evidence that our world has gone mad in 2018. Next in the lineup comes this story from The Sun which reports Somali terror group Al-Shabaab has banned plastic bags "to protect humans and animals" despite being one of the world's most barbaric terrorist organizations, a group that has slaughtered thousands of innocent people. (Coincidentally, or not, the city of Seattle also recently banned plastic straws and utensils! THINK: Globalist agenda!) While terrorists and Democrats are busy banning plastic to 'protect' humans, we read in this new story from the Atlanta Journal Constitution that a jealous woman in Marietta, Georgia burned down the home she was temporarily living in after her boyfriend went to see another woman. And while that might sound radical, a cheating husband in Thailand got a much worse deal after his manhood was sliced off and thrown out the window by his wife who used a 12" long carving knife upon him after she discovered his extramarital affair. Yet the insanity doesn't end there. As the Atlanta Journal Constitution recently reported, back on June 18th, a 27-year-old Georgia man stabbed his 15-year-old sister 53 times for "taking too long in the bathroom". And in Arizona, a 92-year-old woman recently shot and killed her 72-year-old son after he attempted to move her into an assisted living home, concealing two handguns in her bathrobe pockets before confronting and killing him in cold blood. And from California we see another horrifying story that is a direct result of the left's agenda of teaching kids sexuality at a very young age after a 10-year-old boy was starved and tortured and eventually murdered by his own mother and her boyfriend only days after he had 'come out of the closet' and told them he was gay. And from Great Britain we learn that a 28-year-old nurse has been arrested as a mass murderer who has killed at least 17 babies there with this story from The Sun reporting if convicted, she'll become the UK's most prolific mass murderer in their history. And this from the country that gave us Jack the Ripper. And while those stories and many more happening every day might make it seem that our world is now 'helpless' and 'hopeless', our final story provides us the remedy to the madness. As we learn in this story over at Prepare For Change that Steve Quayle had linked to on his website, former Satanic high priest John Ramirez has claimed that Christian prayer prevented him from carrying out evil. Now a pastor, Ramirez knows all about the 'dark side' and these words should be a trumpet call to all: He once sacrificed animals as part of satanic rituals and his friends even called him, “Lucifer’s son.” In his book, Armed and Dangerous: The Ultimate Battle Plan for Targeting and Defeating the Enemy, Ramirez details why Christians need to pray more effectively. “I wrote this book because I wanted Christians to know that it’s not only a defense spiritual warfare, but there’s an offense spiritual warfare,” he told CBN News. “We need to keep the devil, the devil in his place.” “I was able to go in there and capitalize and take a stand and a position in the spirit realm against the Christians that were not praying,” he explained. “I took that territory away so I owned your neighbor; I owned your neighborhood; I owned your region because you didn’t saturate with prayers. I beat you to it.” He also shared how when Christians did pray that it stopped his evil plans in their tracks. “It is those believers, it’s that group of people, those intercessors that gave me such a beatdown in the spiritual,” he said. “When I came into the neighborhood and they were in the spirit together holding hands. Do I know they were physically holding hands in one area? I don’t know, but in the spirit realm, they were holding hands. And, they were able to chase me out the neighborhood. No mission accomplished. Mission aborted, weakened my assignment and no mission accomplished because they knew something: they had the power in that neighborhood that I didn’t have.” Yet we probably shouldn't be the least bit surprised by the madness gripping the planet. As we reported on ANP back on January 10th, according to Patriarch Kirill of the Russian Orthodox Church, our planet was on a very dangerous path towards self-annihilation with evil being 'normalized', accepted by the masses as 'goodness'. With Patriarch Kirill warning us then that "if evil prevails, end times will be upon us", the stories detailed within the first two sections of this story show that we are well on our way there. From that ANP story: When asked about the apocalypse and if 'the end is near' and what would bring about such a scenario, Patriarch Kirill tells us "In the case when the human society stops to be viable, when the resources to exist will be exhausted which would happen in the case when we have absolute dominance of evil". Warning us that evil is not viable and in cases where systems are taken over by evil, those systems will fall, Kirill continues "If evil drives away good from human society, then the end will come". When asked by the interviewer "why do we have to talk about this today?", Patriarch Kirill replies "Because we are now living through a special period in history. Never before did human society put good and evil on the same level. There were attempts to justify evil but never to say that good and evil are relative and not absolute truths. People's perception of good and evil was that they were absolute truth. But today they are relative. When can evil unrestrainedly grow in human society? EXACTLY when this point of view that good and evil are the same triumphs globally. And we are currently not at the beginning of this process but a certain amount of time has passed. History as we know it is exhausted, so how can the church keep silent? How can it avoid sending up an alarm? How can it avoid warning that we are on a very dangerous path of self-annihilation? If the church will not say this than who will?" As we reported on ANP back on June 25th, 'luciferian inversion' is now running rampant in America with the globalists and Democratic party's attempts to demonize Christians, Conservatives and Constitutionalists while Barack Obama made sure that any mention of Islam and terrorism were purged from federal law enforcement training manuals. With the globalists ongoing war upon President Trump and everything 'nationalism' helping to launch nearly half of America into full-blown-cases of 'Trump derangement syndrome', many have warned of trouble ahead. Yet while many Democrats are depressed after swallowing the mainstream media lies whole and a record-low number of 47% of Americans consider themselves 'extremely proud' to be Americans, they must have no clue about the bullet America dodged by keeping Hillary Clinton out of office and getting 'America-1st' President Trump in. And with President Trump slowly helping to balance the scales that had been tipped so far in the opposite direction, we should thank God for this amazing 2nd chance that we've been given while doing one of the very best things that we can for our country and for our fellow Americans: Pray for them. On this 4th of July, may God Bless America.

Home Office Told to Expand Programme Importing Refugees to Every UK Town, Village

4 Jul 2018 By Virginia Hale

George Soros-funded NGO Citizens UK has launched a campaign demanding the Home Office extend the refugee resettlement scheme to every corner of Britain. The left-leaning new Home Secretary Sajid Javid was urged to “take a brave stand with refugees and show the world once again Britain is a country of welcome”, at a campaign launch in London on Friday. According to the group’s press release, “200 civil society leaders from mosques, churches, schools and other organisations” attended the event in support of extending beyond 2020 the government’s programme transporting 20,000 mostly Syrian migrants over five years into homes in UK councils. Citizens UK, which claims to be a “community organising group”, pointed to council figures showing migrants have been distributed across every part of Britain — including many rural areas — as a demonstration of the scheme’s “success”. Nour Sakr, a Refugees Welcome leader from Syria — the civil war of which the United Nations (UN) announced in September last year had finally come to an end — said: “I can’t help my people back home but thanks to the Government’s VPRS [Vulnerable Persons Resettlement] scheme I and other volunteers are helping hundreds of families start new lives free from violence. “It would be terrible to stop Britain’s refugee effort by cutting the scheme,” she said, adding: “I’m here to encourage Sajid Javid to take a brave stand with refugees and show the world once again Britain is a country of welcome.” Rabbi Janet Darley, a Citizen UK leader, said: “We are proud that local authorities across the UK have successfully resettled vulnerable refugees through the Government’s VPRS scheme – it’s been a big success. “Torah commands us 35 times to welcome and care for the stranger, reminding us it is important we do not turn our backs on refugees after 2020, especially at a time when devastating conflicts around the world continue to force millions to flee. “Our message to the Home Office is to thank them for the scheme and remind them that the support of civil society and local Councils for refugee resettlement remains as strong as ever. Let’s not stop now,” added the Utah-born campaigner. Because of the ‘Dubs amendment’, which forced Britain to import so-called unaccompanied minors from the third world who had illegally migrated to Europe, Citizens UK’s Safe Passage website states that “over 1,700 children are now safely in the UK thanks to the safe and legal routes we have opened”. “Mainly from France, we have also brought children from Greece, Italy, Bulgaria, Syria, Belgium and Sudan,” the NGO boasts, adding it also helps “vulnerable adults” enter the UK “wherever possible”, and that the group is working to “expand and make family reunification possible widely across Europe and the world”. With polls consistently demonstrating immigration to be overwhelmingly unpopular in Britain, Citizen UK claims that “Community Organising is about returning power to people”. Last year, the Soros-funded NGO cited a scalp claimed in its quest to shut down newspapers publishing stories that report any downside to mass migration, calling the cosmetic company Body Shop’s decision to pull advertising from the Daily Mail as a “huge win” for the group. Citizens UK is a major backer of Stand Up to Racism, a campaign group which also piles pressure on companies to pull advertising from The Sun, the Daily Mail and the Express, whose “toxic” coverage of migrants they claimed has sparked “a wave of violence against immigrant families”.

U.S. Promises "Full Implementation" of UN Gun-control Agreement

Written by Joe Wolverton, II, J.D.  Monday, 02 July 2018

June 29 marked the end of the Third Review Conference (RevCon) of the United Nations’ Programme of Action (PoA) on Small Arms and Light Weapons. Delegates at the conference, including representatives of the United States, worked on producing updates to the global gun-control agreement. According to the text of the latest draft of the agreement, the PoA will serve as an “international instrument to enable states to identify and trace, in a timely and reliable manner” the small arms and light weapons that are the target of the scheme. In practice, this means that the governments of member nations (including the United States) should create a massive, all-inclusive database of all parties that manufacture, own, sell, trade, or transfer arms and ammunition. If recent history is a reliable indicator of how such data would be used, after the catalog is complete, Congress could, hypothetically, pass a law (or the president would issue an executive order) compelling “voluntary” surrender of whatever privately-owned weapons, ammo, parts, and components (including reloading equipment) the UN deems “illicit.” If, after a statutorily set window, citizens don’t turn in these now-illicit items to their local law enforcement, then officers will be sent to remind violators of their responsibility under the law to disarm. The delegates — including those from the United States — present at the PoA planning meeting have agreed to begin developing domestic legal frameworks that will provide for the “proper management of small arms and light weapons stockpiles.” To assist member states in the implementation of the disarmament and stockpiling of the prohibited small weapons and light arms in the hands of anyone other than approved government entities, the PoA places the enforcement of the provisions “into the operational activities of United Nations peacekeeping missions.” In other words, should the Congress and the president fail to begin seizing and stockpiling privately owned weapons “in a timely manner,” then the UN will deploy blue-helmeted peacekeeping troops to assist in the operation. Regarding the implementation of the PoA at the national level, the final draft of the report of the latest RevCon lists six points to which all member states agreed to advance within their respective domestic governments. Here are those six commitments, taken directly from the document:

1.To establish or strengthen national laws, regulations and administrative procedures in support of the full and effective implementation of the Programme of Action.

2. To strengthen coordinated national approaches for the implementation of the Programme of Action, including, as appropriate, the establishment or designation of national coordination agencies or bodies involving relevant government agencies, including those responsible for law enforcement, border control and export and import licensing.

3. To promote the full participation and representation of women in mechanisms relating to the implementation of the Programme of Action and to encourage strong cooperation with civil society, parliamentarians, industry and the private sector.

4. To establish or designate a national point of contact to act as a liaison between States on matters relating to the implementation of the Programme of Action; and to share and update this information regularly; and to provide the point of contact with the necessary means to carry out its role.

5. To encourage the development and implementation of national action plans or other national policies in support of the implementation of the Programme of Action by making better use of existing information to improve the measurement of progress and to coordinate the development and implementation of such plans or policies, as appropriate, in collaboration with relevant stakeholders, including those from civil society and industry, with those relevant to target 16.4 of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and to the relevant United Nations resolution on women, disarmament, non-proliferation and arms control.

6. To significantly reduce the illicit flows of small arms and light weapons, as appropriate, through illicit weapons recovery and voluntary surrender programmes.

Anyone with even the most cursory constitutional education will be able to identify several significant problems present in this list of commitments, a list to which the United States has agreed. First, in order to legally comply with the goal of “full and effective implementation of the Programme of Action,” the Second Amendment to the Constitution would have to be repealed. That critical provision of the Bill of Rights explicitly forbids the federal government from infringing whatsoever on the right of the people to keep and bear arms. The Programme of Action, on the other hand, requires that member states do all they can to not only infringe on the right to keep and bear certain arms the UN doesn't approve of, but on the right to buy, sell, and trade them (and the ammunition that makes them effectual), too. Second, the agreement would require the repeal of the 10th Amendment, as it would place state governments, as well as state and local law enforcement, subject to federal and international agencies tasked with licensing weapons and controlling international borders. Placing the state governments and their resources at the mercy of the federal and international governing bodies would turn the Constitution upside down and would violate the anti-commandeering principle which holds that the federal government cannot coerce states into participating in federal programs. Third, the appointment of a “liaison” between the federal government and the United Nations would be an extra-constitutional act that would result in the endowment of an unelected person with the “necessary means to carry out” the Programme of Action in the United States. One wonders how liberally the globocrats and the homegrown gun-grabbers would define the phrase “necessary means” in order to accomplish their shared goal of seizing weapons and ammunition from civilians. Could this liaison call upon the General Assembly or the Security Council to send UN “peacekeepers” into the territory of one of the sovereign states of the American union charged with assisting law enforcement with the mandated registration and eventual seizure of all light weapons? While this seems far-fetched, is it really outside the realm of possibility for some future date? Next, the Programme of Action calls for the domestic implementation of some system capable of using “existing information to improve the measurement of progress” of the full implementation fo the Programme of Action, including disarmament and the control of all sale, purchase, and trade of disapproved firearms. How, do you imagine, would the progress of implementation be measured? By means of a compulsory national firearm registration? By means of tracking the manufacture and sale of ammunition from factory to end-user? Yes. If you doubt it, consider this paragraph from the PoA agreement: “To take advantage of the opportunities that new technologies, when available, can offer for enhanced small arms and light weapons stockpile management and security, including through improved marking and record-keeping, and for the destruction of surplus small arms and light weapons that have been designated for destruction.” Finally, there are many, many more patently unconstitutional provisions of the UN’s Programme of Action and the United States, in order to protect the Second Amendment, must refuse to negotiate with those who would see Americans disarmed and vulnerable to rule by the global plutocrats. Right now, that seems unlikely though, as the “Working Paper Submitted by the United States” declares that “Implementation [of the PoA] must remain priority #1” and that “the United States continues to support full implementation of the PoA at the global, regional, and national levels.” Perhaps Americans who oppose eventual disarmament by the UN and the participation of our government in that betrayal should contact President Trump and encourage him to get the United States out of the UN.

No, Tom Perez, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Is The History Of Your Party - Communism Is Its Future

Socialism has been the Democrat Party's history. Communism is the future of the Democrat Party, Mr. Perez, not Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Tim Brown — July 4, 2018

On Tuesday, Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez told progressive radio host Bill Press that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is "the future of our party." Here's the exchange. Press: There was a primary in several states. Your home state of Maryland and also up in New York where the 4th most powerful Democrat in the United States, Congressman Joe Crowley was knocked out by a young woman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez­­­ - 28 years old - never ran for office before - big progressive - calls herself a Democratic socialist, actually like Bernie Sanders did – she was a Bernie Sanders supporter, and in Maryland, Ben Jealous another strong progressive wins the Democratic nomination for governor. What’s this tell you about where the Democratic Party is going today? Perez: Well, my daughters – I have 3 kids, two of whom are daughters, one just graduated college, one is in college, and they were both texting me about their excitement over Alexandria because, you know, she really represents the future of our party. She ran a spirited campaign.

Now, understand that I titled the piece that Ocasio-Cortez is no the future of the party, she's merely this history. The future of the party is something even more evil than her ideology is. Though Ocasio-Cortez has not yet found her way onto DiscoverTheNetworks.org, we know that she does pay dues to the Democratic Socialists of America. You might as well call them Nazis, as that is what National Socialists are. Yahoo News reports: The primary defeat Tuesday of Rep. Joe Crowley, D-N.Y., who was both a top-ranking House Democrat and the head of one of New York’s last political machines, is an upset that is still sending shockwaves through the Democratic Party. Crowley was taken down by a 28-year-old political rookie named Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who won in part by denouncing Crowley’s brand of old-school machine politics. But she had a campaign machine of her own, an outside group known as the Democratic Socialists of America. In the avalanche of coverage of Ocasio-Cortez’s win, the logistical support and manpower she received from the DSA has drawn relatively little notice. But the group is poised to make its presence felt in the midterms. More than 100 volunteers from the DSA had flooded the streets of the 14th Congressional District, which includes parts of Queens and the Bronx, for months. Ocasio-Cortez will be the first DSA member in Congress since Rep. Ron Dellums left office in 1998, but she isn’t the first candidate to score a dramatic upset with the help of the leftist organization. And if they have their way, she won’t be the last “Our recent electoral successes demonstrate that people are sick and tired of being ignored and they’re ready to fight back, and that includes in the political arena,” DSA national director Maria Svart wrote in an email to Yahoo News. “Democratic socialist ideas will win and we do the hard work of knocking on doors to make it happen,” Svart added. Now, in case you were wondering exactly what the DSA actually is, I'm here to tell you. According to Discover The Networks: At the height of the Cold War and the Vietnam War era, the Socialist Party USA of Eugene Debs and Norman Thomas split in two over the issue of whether or not to criticize the Soviet Union, its allies, and Communism: One faction rejected and denounced the USSR and its allies—including Castro's Cuba, the Sandinistas, North Vietnam and the Viet Cong—and supported Poland's Solidarity Movement, etc. This anti-Communist faction took the name Social Democrats USA. (Many of its leaders—including Carl Gershman, who became Jeane Kirkpatrick's counselor of embassy at the United Nations—eventually grew more conservative and became Reagan Democrats.) The other faction, however, refused to reject Marxism, refused to criticize or denounce the USSR and its allies, and continued to support Soviet-backed policies—including the nuclear-freeze program that sought to consolidate Soviet nuclear superiority in Europe. This faction, whose leading figure was Michael Harrington, in 1973 took the name Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee (DSOC); its membership included many former Students for a Democratic Society activists. DSOC operated not as a separate political party but as an explicitly socialist force within the Democratic Party and the labor movement . As such, it attracted many young activists who sought to push the Democratic Party further leftward politically. Among the notables who joined DSOC were Machinists' Union leader William Winpisinger, feminist Gloria Steinem, gay rights activist Harry Britt, actor Ed Asner, and California Congressman (and avowed socialist) Ron Dellums. By 1979 DSOC had made major inroads into the Democratic Party and claimed a national membership of some 3,000 people. In 1983 DSOC, under Michael Harrington's leadership, merged with the New American Movement to form the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Harrington’s strategy was to force a “realignment” of the two major political parties by pulling the Democrats emphatically to the left and polarizing the parties along class lines. He expected that this would drive business interests away from the Democrats and into the Republican Party, but that those losses would be more than offset by an influx of newly energized minority and union voters to the Democratic Party, and that over time the Democrats would embrace socialism as their preferred ideology.[1] Thus Harrington sought to establish DSA as a force that worked within, and not outside of, the existing American political system. Following Harrington's lead, most DSAers were committed to electoral politics within the Democratic Party.[2] They feared that if they were to openly move too far and too quickly to the left, they would run the risk of alienating moderate Democrats and thereby ensuring Ronald Reagan's reelection in 1984.[3] Like everything tied to Marxism, the people will become disillusioned but will retain basically the same Marist mindset, just offer a different way to tone it down, but eventually and inevitably it will grow into full-blown Communism. They may separate themselves on some small issue, but at the heart they are for tyrannical government, less freedom, government theft of property and money and imposing a godless, lawless society on the people. And right on que, the DSA showed their true colors and openly called for Communism. Olivia Katbi Smith, co-Chair of the Portland DSA chapter, tweeted out on Saturday, "As a DSA chapter co-chair I just wanna set the record straight for a minute: communism is good." She wasn't alone. The Charlottesville DSA co-chair retweeted her tweet saying, "The Charlottesville DSA co-chair." etc etc. Clearly, these people came from the public indoctrination centers known as public schools. Remember, the ideology of Communism has been responsible for unlawful incarceration, oppression, starvation and outright murder of millions of people over the past 100 years. There is nothing "good" about Communism nor Communists. They are of their father the devil (John 8:44-45), who comes only to kill, steal and destroy (John 10:10). They promise liberty, but are the slaves of corruption (2 Peter 2:19). Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez may win her seat or may not. She may not even be alive in a few years. No one knows for sure, but the ideology of Ocasio-Cortez will evolve into full-blown Marxism, of that you can be sure, and if you don't believe me, just look at someone like Hillary Clinton. Ocasio-Cortez, like most Marxists who lie in order to influence and deceive people into believing they are something when they are not, lied to gain notoriety. If she will lie about herself, I ask those people who voted for her, what else is she lying to you about? Socialism has been the Democrat Party's history. Communism is the future of the Democrat Party, Mr. Perez, not Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

The Great Unwinding and The Aftermath – A New World order and a New World currency in 2018

Mark July 5, 2018

With Global debt reaching unprecedented and unserviceable levels it has got me thinking where this is all going. It has been 30 Years since the Rothschild publication “The Economist” suggested on their front cover that there would be a new World currency in 2018. If you do not know who the Rothschilds are basically they are the richest family in the World and have a long history in banking and finance. This is January 9, 1988, Vol. 306, pp 9-10: THIRTY years from now, Americans, Japanese, Europeans, and people in many other rich countries, and some relatively poor ones will probably be paying for their shopping with the same currency. Prices will be quoted not in dollars, yen or D-marks but in, let’s say, the phoenix. The phoenix will be favoured by companies and shoppers because it will be more convenient than today’s national currencies, which by then will seem a quaint cause of much disruption to economic life in the last twentieth century. At the beginning of 1988 this appears an outlandish prediction. Proposals for eventual monetary union proliferated five and ten years ago, but they hardly envisaged the setbacks of 1987. The governments of the big economies tried to move an inch or two towards a more managed system of exchange rates – a logical preliminary, it might seem, to radical monetary reform. For lack of co-operation in their underlying economic policies they bungled it horribly, and provoked the rise in interest rates that brought on the stock market crash of October. These events have chastened exchange-rate reformers. The market crash taught them that the pretence of policy co-operation can be worse than nothing, and that until real co-operation is feasible (i.e., until governments surrender some economic sovereignty) further attempts to peg currencies will flounder. The new world economy The biggest change in the world economy since the early 1970’s is that flows of money have replaced trade in goods as the force that drives exchange rates. as a result of the relentless integration of the world’s financial markets, differences in national economic policies can disturb interest rates (or expectations of future interest rates) only slightly, yet still call forth huge transfers of financial assets from one country to another. These transfers swamp the flow of trade revenues in their effect on the demand and supply for different currencies, and hence in their effect on exchange rates. As telecommunications technology continues to advance, these transactions will be cheaper and faster still. With unco-ordinated economic policies, currencies can get only more volatile. Because it will link current events to ancient Biblical prophecies, step by step. And you will realize why we are standing at the precipice of the darkest event in the history of mankind… In all these ways national economic boundaries are slowly dissolving. As the trend continues, the appeal of a currency union across at least the main industrial countries will seem irresistible to everybody except foreign-exchange traders and governments. In the phoenix zone, economic adjustment to shifts in relative prices would happen smoothly and automatically, rather as it does today between different regions within large economies (a brief on pages 74-75 explains how.) The absence of all currency risk would spur trade, investment and employment. The phoenix zone would impose tight constraints on national governments. There would be no such thing, for instance, as a national monetary policy. The world phoenix supply would be fixed by a new central bank, descended perhaps from the IMF. The world inflation rate – and hence, within narrow margins, each national inflation rate- would be in its charge. Each country could use taxes and public spending to offset temporary falls in demand, but it would have to borrow rather than print money to finance its budget deficit. With no recourse to the inflation tax, governments and their creditors would be forced to judge their borrowing and lending plans more carefully than they do today. This means a big loss of economic sovereignty, but the trends that make the phoenix so appealing are taking that sovereignty away in any case. Even in a world of more-or-less floating exchange rates, individual governments have seen their policy independence checked by an unfriendly outside world. As the next century approaches, the natural forces that are pushing the world towards economic integration will offer governments a broad choice. They can go with the flow, or they can build barricades. Preparing the way for the phoenix will mean fewer pretended agreements on policy and more real ones. It will mean allowing and then actively promoting the private-sector use of an international money alongside existing national monies. That would let people vote with their wallets for the eventual move to full currency union. The phoenix would probably start as a cocktail of national currencies, just as the Special Drawing Right is today. In time, though, its value against national currencies would cease to matter, because people would choose it for its convenience and the stability of its purchasing power. The alternative – to preserve policymaking autonomy- would involve a new proliferation of truly draconian controls on trade and capital flows. This course offers governments a splendid time. They could manage exchange-rate movements, deploy monetary and fiscal policy without inhibition, and tackle the resulting bursts of inflation with prices and incomes polices. It is a growth-crippling prospect. Pencil in the phoenix for around 2018, and welcome it when it comes. As global currencies wage a race to the bottom, citizens of the world are kept distracted by insignificant things to keep them calm right up to the end. The end will be the destruction of many world currencies and the savings of those invested in them. When that happens those who have lost everything will panic, and for good reason. The conspiracy theorists and sound money people will be proven to be prophets but none of that will matter by then. If it managed to save the Incas centuries ago and it still works for our astronauts today, you can bet your last dollar it will keep you and your family well fed in any crisis. All of the savings that people think they have was long ago looted by the bankers and now they must destroy those ledger entries that people think they have. Much like the phantom gold that no longer exists in vaults but only on paper, those ledger entries must be destroyed before the banks are required to give that money back to its rightful owners. It is not only the savings but the promised payments from government entities that must be eliminated. The government has made promises it cannot keep and now it must find a way out while maintaining “plausible deniability”. That is the crux of the unwinding we will see in the near future. The people have been robbed of their wealth and their futures and now it is time to perpetrate the cover up so the guilty parties can sail off into the sunset with their ill gotten loot. It almost sounds like a movie plot but unfortunately the people will have to stick around after this show and deal with the aftermath. That is something most people do not see coming and are ill prepared to deal with emotionally, physically or financially. There are many things that people will disagree on when it comes to the future but there are some things those following events will agree on. There will likely be a catastrophic event in conjunction with a monetary crisis. Most people will be completely unprepared for the events. Only those that hold hard assets and the means to protect them will come through this with any wealth in tact. The government will increase their control of the population. Basic resources like food, water and energy will be expensive or difficult to get. This is especially true for imported goods. People will lose the homes they cannot afford and their retirement savings. Government payments will be cut off or severely cut back. There will be armed resistance against the government as they reduce freedoms that people are accustomed to. They could only treat patients in the most critical conditions. The #1 killer in any crisis is disease and infection Most Americans think our medical system is the same as other 1st world countries… That’s what I used to think… But in fact, our medical system is a “ticking bomb” waiting to “explode”! Roving gangs will likely be a problem at least in the short term following the crisis. The country will look much different in ten years than it does now, and likely not for the better. People will need a different strategy for retirement than they now hold. Healthcare will become more expensive and less available to the average citizen. The U.S. will likely become a third world nation as far as living standards are concerned. These items point out the direction we are headed as a nation. Those that ignore the reality we now live in will suffer greatly and will be immobilized with fear and uncertainty as to what to do. The government they looked to in the past for guidance and safety will be at odds with their very existence in the future. Those things they took as a given will no longer exist. This list defines what you as an individual must be prepared to deal with in the uncertain future ahead. Only by addressing these issues will you have any peace of mind in the coming days as events play out on a global scale. It has been said many times before but must be repeated because many still do not hear the message. You must be prepared to provide basic necessities to your family for a prolonged period of time. This includes clean drinking water, nutritious food, shelter, sanitation, security, clothing, health care and any excess funds should be used to buy precious metals or some other wealth preservation tool. Any transportation and communication assets you have will greatly enhance your survival position. Beyond these basic items you will also need to think about some way to produce income in the years ahead. Having special knowledge or capitol equipment to produce needed goods will insure you can continue to care for your family long term. The ability to produce food, water, clothing or energy and provide medical help or capitol goods will insure you have a product to sell that will be in demand. In a dysfunctional world the business opportunities are many. Basic supplies that were once taken for granted will be sought after by everyone. Herbal remedies, meat production, paper goods, cleaning agents, tools, building supplies and such mundane things as blocks of ice and footwear will have to come from somewhere. Something as simple as an absorption freezer powered by a homemade power source like bio-gas can provide frozen meat and ice to sell the year round. You must also be cognizant of many possible dangers that an uncertain world can present. These include natural disasters, the threat of war, disease, nuclear dangers such as fallout and contamination and chemical threats from malfunctioning plants and storage sites. The . It is a sad thing that people spend more time planning a summer vacation than the ability to plan for the future is more imperative now than every do for their future. That lack of planning will insure a difficult future for them and their children as the world unwinds at an ever faster pace taking their standard of living to ever lower levels until reaching the bottom of this unknown new world.

Population migration patterns: US cities Americans are abandoning

Michael B. Sauter, 24/7 Wall Street Published 8:00 a.m. ET July 5, 2018 | Updated 11:18 a.m. ET July 6, 2018

Each year, roughly 40 million Americans, or about 14% of the U.S. population, move at least once. Much of that movement includes younger people relocating within cities, but it is trends of Americans moving to warmer climates, more affordable areas, and better job opportunities that have largely determined migration patterns in recent decades. Because of those long-term patterns, as well as the recent period of economic recovery, cities in some parts of the country have lost tens of thousands of residents. To find the 50 U.S. metropolitan areas that have had the largest net decline in population as a result of migration between 2010 and 2017, 24/7 Wall Street reviewed population figures from the U.S. Census Bureau’s Population Estimates Program. The 50 cities where the most people are moving away from can primarily be found in the Northeast, Midwest, and West Coast, particularly in states like Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, and New York. Among the cities where  Angeles people are leaving in droves are places such as Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, New York, and Los. William Frey, demographer at the Brookings Institution, a nonprofit public policy research group, explained that these cities that have been losing thousands of residents due to migration are part of the long-term trend of movement from the Northeast and the Midwest to warmer climates, a trend that has increased in recent years. “The story of the broader migration pattern in the U.S. is from Snow Belt to Sun Belt," Frey said. "That migration has slowed a little bit in the early part of the decade, when we were still dealing with the aftermath of the recession, but it's coming back.”

Detailed findings Not all the cities with the largest net declines in population from migration since 2010 are necessarily the fastest shrinking cities. However, among the U.S. metropolitan areas with the highest net population declines due to migration, the vast majority have had the largest overall decreases in population. Two notable exceptions are New York and Los Angeles. While tens of thousands more people moved out of each city than moved in, both cities have still had among the highest net increases in population. This is because of natural population growth -- hundreds of thousands more people in these cities have been born than died. Notably, Los Angeles had a net migration loss of 93,959, but the overall population increased by over three-quarters of a million people because of births. Frey explained that movement from New York and Los Angeles to many of the cities with the largest net migration increases is due to residents of these cities getting pushed out because of rising populations and prices, the latter of which is a product of the economic recovery. "Now that things are picking up again, people are moving out of cities. As the housing market is coming back, people are being sucked out of pricey areas to where it is more affordable again.” Frey gave the example of one common migration pattern: Los Angeles to Las Vegas, the latter of which had the 15th highest net population increase due to migration. Los Angeles has always lost residents to Las Vegas, but when the recession hit and housing prices fell, that movement slowed significantly. Now that housing prices have recovered in Los Angeles and have become too expensive for many residents, people are once again moving out of the city in droves. As of 2016, Los Angeles had the seventh highest median home value of any metropolitan area, at $578,200. Las Vegas’ median home value is just slightly more than half that, at $233,700. The same sort of thing is true for a place like New York,” Frey added. “There has always been huge movement going from New York to Florida, but during the Great Recession period that slowed up quite a bit, and now it is picking up again.” Frey added that the reasons behind the decline in population in cities like Los Angeles and New York -- overcrowding and high prices -- are very different than the reasons for decreases in other cities on this list, notably Rust Belt cities like Flint, Michigan; Toledo, Ohio; and Rockford, Illinois; and even larger cities like St. Louis, Cleveland, and Milwaukee. These cities have been losing domestic migrants for decades due to stagnating economic conditions stemming from the decline of American manufacturing. Methodology To identify America’s Fastest Declining Cities, 24/7 Wall Street reviewed the annual estimates of resident population and the estimates of the components of residential population change from April 1, 2010 to July 1, 2017, provided by the American Community Survey. Population, and home value data also came from the 2016 American Community Survey.

People of Faith Must Defend Our Nation's Founding Principles

By Op-Ed Contributor Jason Yates | Wed 4 Jul 2018 8:44 EDT

Today we celebrate America's 242nd birthday. While that might not seem long in the timeline of history, we must remember that at one point our country was referred to as the "American Experiment," a moniker which reflects the uncertainty surrounding the viability of this new, unprecedented and unproven attempt at self-government. After all, before there was a Declaration of Independence or a Bill of Rights, America was little more than the dream of a motley crew of immigrants who sought freedom to practice their religion and a fair, representative government. The Founders of the American Experiment crafted a government whose authority, at its heart, flowed from certain fundamental, biblical truths, not a person or personality. In a letter to Thomas Jefferson — the author of the Declaration of Independence — our second president, John Adams, said "the general principles on which the Fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity." How incredible that a Founding Father admitted that the truth of Christianity, not secular humanism or any other religious system, provides the bedrock upon which this great nation has been built! The Declaration and its moral arguments would go on to inspire the framework of the U.S. Constitution. As President Adams, one of its drafters plainly admitted, it is "religion and morality alone which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand. The only foundation of a free constitution is pure virtue." Adams would later say the Constitution "was made only for a moral and religious people" and is, therefore, "wholly inadequate to the government of any other" type of people. America was founded to function only so long as moral and religious people drew from their reservoir of virtue to guide America forward. I believe John Adams was correct. America has a historical legacy undoubtedly established in Christianity. We've experienced God's blessing because from the beginning our Founders sought His wisdom rather than rely on their own, for as Psalm 33:12 declares, "Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD." That means people of faith must stand guard to keep this American Experiment alive, to defend the principles that have advanced religious liberty, peace, prosperity and freedom. I pray your family has a wonderful day celebrating America's birthday. Make sure to take time to reflect on our nation's founding principles and thank God that his eternal law so clearly influenced the writers of the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution. Ultimately, it is God's truth, not man's system of government or laws that we must be rooted in. As we celebrate this Independence Day, let the history of our nation's founding remind us to be vigilant to think, pray and vote according to our Christian faith.

North Korea Expanding Missile-Manufacturing Plant, Report Finds

By Kanga Kong July 2, 2018, 12:17 AM EDT

North Korea continued to develop a key rocket-engine facility in the run-up to Kim Jong Un’s summit with U.S. President Donald Trump, according to an independent analysis of satellite imagery. The Middlebury Institute of International Studies report found that North Korea has recently expanded a factory complex in the eastern city of Hamhung that produces key engines for solid-fuel ballistic missiles. The factory also makes other missile components, including re-entry vehicles for warheads that could be used on longer-range missiles capable of reaching the U.S. “The expansion suggests that, despite hopes for denuclearization, Kim Jong Un is committed to increasing North Korea’s stockpile of nuclear-armed missiles,” the report’s authors David Schmerler and Jeffrey Lewis wrote. The analysis, which was first reported by the Wall Street Journal, is the latest to undercut Trump’s assurances that North Korea is “no longer a nuclear threat” after his June 12 meeting with Kim in Singapore. U.S. intelligence officials have separately concluded that Kim was seeking to conceal his nuclear weapons stockpile and had no intention of surrendering his arsenal, NBC News reported. The Middlebury report examined imagery from the weeks before the Trump-Kim summit, in which Kim agreed to “work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.” The expansion efforts came after the North Korean leader made a similar denuclearization pledge during his April 27th meeting with South Korean President Moon Jae-in. The factory in question produces wound-filament airframes and nozzles for engines used in solid-fuel missiles, particularly the Pukguksong series of rockets, the report said. Such missiles are more concerning to U.S. military planners because they can be kept hidden while fueled, making them easier to deploy and harder to target during any attack. The expansion suggests that Kim is working to make good on his May 2017 order -- following a successful test of a Pukguksong-2 missile -- to “rapidly mass-produce” the rocket. While Kim has subsequently pledged to halt nuclear-weapons tests, he hasn’t said anything about production and has made no commitment to disarm. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is working to firm up those commitments in the wake of the summit, with the Financial Times reporting that he plans to soon visit Pyongyang. Pompeo spoke with South Korean Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha by telephone on June 29 to discuss the next steps in negotiations.

Israelis overwhelmingly prefer Trump to Obama — poll

Just 40% of secular Israelis want to see mass Jewish immigration from US, while 43% do not; most Israelis feel US Jews should not criticize Israel publicly

By TOI staff 4 July 2018, 6:37 pm

Israelis overwhelmingly favor US President Donald Trump over his predecessor Barack Obama, according to a poll released on Wednesday, and are lukewarm in their support for the immigration of American Jews to the Jewish state. The survey, conducted for Haaretz newspaper to coincide with US Independence Day, found that almost half of Israelis — 49 percent — strongly approved of Trump (and 23% slightly approved), while only 22% disapproved of the US president. However, when asked about Obama, only 19% of respondents strongly approved of him (while 30% slightly approved), compared to a substantial 46% who disapproved of the former American leader. Trump came to Israel last year in his first overseas trip as president and visited Jerusalem’s Western Wall, becoming the first American president to do so. In December, he recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and in May the US embassy in Israel was moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. In his views vis-à-vis the Palestinian Authority, Trump has been seen as more favorable to Israel than his predecessor. His approval ratings in Israel eclipsed his support at home, where he only enjoys a 41.8% approval rating, according to 538’s poll aggregator. According to the Haaretz poll, 44% of Israelis believed Trump’s peace plan would be pro-Israel, while only 7% thought it would be pro-Palestinian (31% thought it would be balanced). The Haaretz poll also asked Israelis whether they want the majority of US Jews to move to Israel. In total, 50% of Israeli respondents said they support mass Jewish immigration from the US, but among secular Israelis only 40% want American Jews to relocate (43% disagreed), whereas 88% of Orthodox Jewish Israelis wanted the US Jews to move. The survey also found that a majority of Israelis (52%) believe American Jews had no right to publicly criticize Israel, while only 37% thought they should be able to voice their dissent with the Jewish state. Asked whether Israel should give equal rights to Reform and Conservative Jews, a total of 47% of Israeli survey respondents said it should — of those who agreed, 71% were secular, while only 3% of the religious population agreed. Thirty percent — 11% of the secular public and 90% of religious Israelis — said Reform and Conservative Jews should not have the same rights. Moreover, 44% of Israelis approve of the way Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was handling Israel’s relations with US Jews, according to the Haaretz poll, while 26% disapprove. Construction of an egalitarian prayer space at the Western Wall, which would allow for Reform and Conservative prayer sessions — the subject of negotiations with leaders of liberal Judaism since 2012 — has been mired in political difficulties since it was first approved by the government in 2016. On Tuesday the Knesset appointed Netanyahu to head the committee asked to implement the construction of the space.

Mexico's president-elect shuns guards, asks 'people' for protection

[Reuters] By Daina Beth Solomon ,Reuters•July 3, 2018 By Daina Beth Solomon

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican President-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador left the country's national palace on Tuesday in the front passenger seat of a white Volkswagen Jetta, swarmed by hundreds of jubilant supporters including one waving a live rooster. There was not a bodyguard in sight. Since claiming victory on Sunday, the leftist politician has promised transformative change for Mexico. That includes ambitious plans to stem the corruption and violence that have become the status quo, though Lopez Obrador has yet to provide details. Lopez Obrador's approach to security is one of the first signs of how he is breaking from the mold of the typical Mexican presidency. His plan to travel without armed guards has sparked worry in some quarters about his safety on the heels of Mexico's deadliest year since modern records began. "The people will protect me. ... He who fights for justice has nothing to fear," Lopez Obrador said after meeting with President Enrique Pena Nieto, who he said offered federal protection. "You'll all be watching out for me," he told a large hall packed with press during a lively, 35-minute back-and-forth that sharply contrasted with Pena Nieto's brief, tightly controlled appearances. Some audience members were skeptical. "This is the institution of the presidency of the republic, this isn't just one person," a journalist said, asking Lopez Obrador if he would change his strategy. "We're just reporters," another called out. Since Sunday, Lopez Obrador's every move has been broadcast live, with journalists and supporters forming a slow-moving convoy around the 64-year-old, who has pledged to shed various trappings of power including the presidential residence and plane, while earning half of Pena Nieto's salary. At one point, Lopez Obrador's Jetta, which often snaked through Mexico City with the windows down, knocked a member of the posse off his motorcycle while making a right turn. The man appeared unhurt.

At one point, Lopez Obrador's Jetta, which often snaked through Mexico City with the windows down, knocked a member of the posse off his motorcycle while making a right turn. The man appeared unhurt. Close-to-the-people campaigning has been the style of the former Mexico City mayor for 13 years during two prior presidential bids, taking him to the most remote and dangerous pockets of Mexico. Even in recent months, despite a surge of politician killings, Lopez Obrador has ventured into drug-cartel strongholds rarely visited by Pena Nieto, such as Chilapa and Reynosa. Mexico is on track to register even more murders this year than in 2017, according to government data, and Lopez Obrador's vows to curb violence appealed to many voters frustrated with the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party's inability to stem the bloodshed. But Lopez Obrador's new status may compel him to make some compromises, said Vicente Sanchez, a professor of public administration at the Colegio de la Frontera Norte in Tijuana. "He should understand the risk, and that once he's elected, he doesn't owe it to himself, but to the country," Sanchez said. "He has too much desire to go down in history as an austere figure, close to the people."

Austria gives Iran 48 hours to lift immunity of diplomat implicated in bomb plot

Vienna says Iranian's diplomatic status to be revoked due to warrant for his arrest over planned attack on opposition group in France

By AFP 3 July 2018, 5:24 pm

VIENNA — Austria asked Tehran Tuesday to lift the immunity of an Iranian diplomat suspected of involvement in an alleged plot to bomb a rally by an exiled Iranian opposition group in France. The diplomat, who is based at the embassy in Vienna, was detained in Germany on Saturday. Vienna delivered the request to “lift the immunity of the Iranian diplomat” to Iran’s ambassador to Austria, who was summoned to the foreign ministry after news of the alleged plot emerged on Monday, a ministry spokesman said. Austria also informed Iran on Tuesday that the diplomat would be “deprived of his diplomatic status within 48 hours because of the existence of a European arrest warrant” against him, said the spokesman, Matthias Forenbacher. The diplomat was one of six people arrested in Belgium, France and Germany over the alleged plot. The apparent foiled attack was to have targeted a meeting of thousands of Iranian opposition supporters in a northern suburb of the French capital that was also attended by leading US figures, including close allies of US President Donald Trump. Federal prosecutors in Brussels first revealed the arrests, charging a husband and wife they described as Belgian nationals “of Iranian origin.” They said the Iranian diplomat in Vienna was believed to be a contact of the couple. The arrests were revealed on the day Iranian President Hassan Rouhani arrived in Switzerland on a visit that Tehran said was of “crucial importance” for cooperation between the Islamic Republic and Europe after the US withdrawal from the Iranian nuclear agreement. Rouhani is also due to visit Austria, which currently holds the six-month presidency of the European Union. Iran’s foreign minister dismissed the attack plot as a “false flag ploy” designed to overshadow Rouhani’s tour. “How convenient: Just as we embark on a presidential visit to Europe, an alleged Iranian operation and its ‘plotters’ arrested,” Mohammad Javad Zarif tweeted.

Carrier USS Harry S. Truman Operating in the Atlantic as Russian Submarine Activity is on the Rise

By: Sam LaGrone June 29, 2018 3:32 PM • Updated: June 29, 2018 6:42 PM

The aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) has left the Mediterranean Sea and is now operating in the Atlantic Ocean, a defense official confirmed to USNI News. This week the carrier, the embarked Carrier Air Wing 1 and some of its escorts passed through the Strait of Gibraltar into the Atlantic after spending several days in port in Marseille, France. “As a matter of longstanding policy, we do not discuss future operations, but I can tell you that the Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group will continue to conduct operations in support of our NATO allies, European and African partner nations, coalition partners, and U.S. national security interests,” Cmdr. John Perkins, a spokesman with U.S. Naval Forces Europe and Africa, told USNI News. The move to the Atlantic is arguably a continued expression of two constituent themes in the Pentagon as of late: a return to great power competition outlined in new strategic planning documents, and the direction from Secretary of Defense James Mattis that U.S. forces need to be “strategically predictable and operationally unpredictable.” In terms of great power competition, there is growing evidence that Russia continues to push its newest attack submarines to operate the North Atlantic at a pace not seen since the Cold War, Navy leaders have continued to stress publicly. “Russian submarines are prowling the Atlantic, testing our defenses, confronting our command of the seas, and preparing the complex underwater battlespace to give them an edge in any future conflict,” current U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa commander Adm. James Foggo wrote in U.S. Naval Institute’s Proceedings in 2016. “Not only have Russia’s actions and capabilities increased in alarming and confrontational ways, its national-security policy is aimed at challenging the United States and its NATO allies and partners.” Bryan Clark, a senior fellow at CSBA, said that carrier strike group operations in the Atlantic make sense for high-end exercises for the U.S. and partner nations. Both the U.K. Royal Navy and the French Navy field effective submarine forces that haven’t trained much lately with U.S. surface ships. “Our Atlantic coast guys need a chance to train against good submariners,” he said. “Either they’re it doing with the French or the British for training or for hope of finding a Russian submarine.” For its part, the Truman Strike Group embarked with an extensive escort fleet that will include up to six guided-missile destroyers and the German Navy guided missile frigate FGS Hessen (F 221). Clark said the U.S. DDGs are equipped with an effective anti-submarine warfare packages that work well in the Atlantic but aren’t typically deployed there. “You have to make a special effort to put them there,” he said. Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson has also alluded to an increased Russian submarine presence in public statements about the need for the Navy to operate differently in a new era. “It’s an aspect of the security environment that it’s getting harder to do things without being observed, no matter where you are. So we’re going to have to be clever about that,” he told USNI News last month. In line with the Mattis guidance, the Navy is using a so-called dynamic force employment model that in the last several months has broken from the traditional patterns of the last several years. Earlier in June, the amphibious warship USS Iwo Jima (LHD-7) entered the Persian Gulf after a two-and-a-half-month gap of a capital ship in the region, while two other ships in the Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group – USS Oak Hill (LSD-51) and USS New York (LPD-21) – operated in the Baltic and Mediterranean seas, respectively. “The Navy is making deliberate prioritization decisions in accordance with the [national defense strategy] which may disrupt the ‘business as usual’,” a Navy official told USNI News on Friday. “We must prioritize lethality, deterrence capability, training and readiness of the defined fighting unit, and will ensure the mission is met with the right capability and platform.” While the Navy did not acknowledge Truman’s mission in the Atlantic, the move harkens back to an exercise from last year. On its return to Norfolk, Va., the George H.W. Bush Carrier Strike Group operated off of the U.K. as part of Saxon Warrior, an exercise with the U.K., Germany, Sweden and Norway. The exercise was the first in the series since 2011 and was in part prompted by Russian operations in the region, USNI News understands. However, the Truman carrier strike group is expected to continue its deployment for several more months.

A First: 3 Polyamorous Adults Recognized as Child’s Parents in Court Ruling

Michael Foust | ChristianHeadlines.com Contributor | Friday, June 29, 2018

Three adults living in a polyamorous relationship can be the legal parents of a child, according to a ruling by a Canadian judge in what is believed to be the first ruling of its kind in the nation. The case involves two men living with a woman, who is the mother of the child born in 2017, according to the CBC. It was a Newfoundland and Labrador court. “Society is continuously changing and family structures are changing along with it,” Justice Robert Fowler wrote. “This must be recognized as a reality and not as a detriment to the best interests of the child.” The ruling was handed down in April but did not become public until June. It is the first time a Canadian court has ruled that three parents in a relationship can be legally recognized as the parents. The trio filed suit after the province told them that only two parents could be listed on the child’s birth certificate, the CBC reported. “I have no reason to believe that this relationship detracts from the best interests of the child,” Fowler wrote. “On the contrary, to deny the recognition of fatherhood (parentage) by the applicants would deprive the child of having a legal paternal heritage with all the rights and privileges associated with that designation.” Answers in Genesis founder Ken Ham criticized the judge’s ruling, saying it was not in the child’s best interest. “Yes, it’s a detriment to the child because there’s only one definition of a true family when God created this institution with one man one woman (Genesis 1&2),” Ham said. “The ‘best interests of the child’ are when they’re taught the truth God created them, they’re made in God’s image and very special, and they have a sin nature so God provided a free gift of salvation for them in God’s Son Jesus who died and rose from the dead.” Michael Foust is a freelance writer.

Jerusalem: Recognizing Reality

By Hal Lindsey

On Wednesday, President Trump formally recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. He also announced a beginning of the process to move the U.S. Embassy there. That process will take at least three years, and probably much more. He also endorsed the so-called “two-state solution” as the framework for peace with the Palestinians… as long as both sides agree to it. He did not specify anything regarding future boundaries of Jerusalem, or whether it should be split. He said those decisions need to be made as part of negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. Israel itself has claimed Jerusalem as its capital since the time of King David. Modern Israel was first recognized as a nation in 1948. It took possession of West Jerusalem that year. But because of the ongoing war, it made Tel Aviv its temporary capital. The next year, David Ben-Gurion, Israel’s first Prime Minister, said, “For the State of Israel there has always been and always will be one capital only — Jerusalem the Eternal. Thus it was 3,000 years ago — and thus it will be, we believe, until the end of time.” Listening to the media, you would think President Trump’s decision is outside mainstream U.S. diplomatic orthodoxy. But that not true. No U.S. president ever pulled the trigger on the move, but as candidates, several of them were for it. Despite them taking that position, it was never a significant point of controversy in any presidential election. Congress passed a law in 1995 saying that Jerusalem should “remain an undivided city” and “be recognized as the capital of the State of Israel.” The law allowed presidents to postpone the move, but they had to do so every six months. Until now, that’s what they have all done. The leader of Senate Democrats, Chuck Schumer, urged President Trump to move the embassy. “As someone who strongly believes that Jerusalem is the undivided capital of Israel,” he said, “I am calling for the U.S. Embassy in Israel to be relocated to Jerusalem.” The President did not go that far. He said nothing about Jerusalem being “undivided.” Nevertheless, his decision has been criticized by leaders around the world, including in the United States. California Senator Diane Feinstein wrote to Trump saying, “Recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital — or relocating our embassy to Jerusalem — will spark violence and embolden extremists on both sides of this debate.” She said such a move would “undermine any remaining hope for a two-state solution.” A Palestinian general delegate to the United Kingdom said that to declare Jerusalem the capital of Israel is like “declaring war.” Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas warned that there will be “dangerous consequences.” The Palestinian terrorist group, Hamas, called for three “days of rage,” starting Wednesday, but making Friday the main day. The State Department warned U.S. embassies around the world to be on alert following the announcement. It also issued a warning to U.S. travelers in Israel. “Hostilities between the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and terrorist groups, including Hamas, in the Gaza Strip could resume and the security situation could deteriorate with little or no notice.” Turkey’s President Erdogan said Jerusalem is a “redline” for Muslims. He said the move would be a violation of international law, and that, “This could go as far as cutting our diplomatic relations with Israel. President Trump argued that his action is “recognition of reality.” He pointed out that all the major institutions of the Israeli government, including the Knesset, are located in Jerusalem. Nations put embassies in the capitals of other nations because they want their ambassadors close to the center of power. In Israel, that’s Jerusalem. Through the years, proposed peace plans from the United Nations, the U.S., and Europe, have always allowed Israel to keep at least part of Jerusalem. Israel says that Jerusalem is its capital. Since the Israelis will be staying in Jerusalem under any of these plans, why does the world not allow Israel to choose its own capital? From a secular, diplomatic prospective, the President’s move makes sense to me. Israel is the one great democracy of the Middle East, and America’s most faithful ally. The Israelis — not a bunch of European elites — should decide the location of Israel’s capital. But I’m not a diplomat. I’m a preacher of the Gospel and a student of scripture. I look at this from another angle. In Genesis 12:3, God said to Abraham (then still named “Abram”), “I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse.” (NASB) “God Bless America” is a prayer. One of the actions that must accompany that prayer is for America to continue to bless Israel.

Kushner rips Abbas, says Mideast peace plan due 'soon'

By Ilan Ben Zion Associated Press June 24, 2018

President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser said in an interview published Sunday that the administration will soon present its Israeli-Palestinian peace plan, with or without input from Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. In an interview published in the Arabic language Al-Quds newspaper, Jared Kushner appealed directly to Palestinians and criticized Abbas, who has shunned the Trump team over its alleged pro-Israel bias, particularly on the fate of contested Jerusalem. The interview came out after a weeklong trip around the region by Kushner and Mideast envoy Jason Greenblatt. The team met with leaders of Israel, Jordan, Qatar, Egypt and Saudi Arabia to discuss the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza and the administration's proposals for a peace deal. The Palestinians refused to meet with Kushner, and leaders have criticized the Trump negotiating team in recent days. Senior Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat accused Kushner and Greenblatt on Saturday of trying to topple the Abbas-led West Bank autonomy government and dismantle the U.N. aid agency for Palestinian refugees. On Sunday, Erekat doubled down on his criticism, telling Israel's Channel 10 that the American negotiators are "not neutral" and predicting their peace plan would fail. Any peace plan would face major obstacles, including the increasingly dire humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, internal Palestinian divisions, and recent cross-border violence between Gaza's Hamas rulers and Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his Cabinet on Sunday that he met twice with Kushner and Greenblatt this weekend and discussed "how to solve the humanitarian situation in Gaza without strengthening Hamas." It remains unclear how the Trump administration would proceed with a peace plan without Palestinian cooperation. Kushner said the plan is "almost done," but offered scant details aside from the promise of economic prosperity. He made no mention of a Palestinian state arising alongside Israel, though he acknowledged that Arab partners support that goal. The Palestinians seek the West Bank, east Jerusalem and Gaza — territories captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war. Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005, and two years later, Hamas seized control of Gaza from Abbas' forces. Abbas now governs only small autonomous zones in the West Bank. Kushner cast doubt on Abbas' ability to make a deal, alleging that the Palestinian leadership is "scared we will release our peace plan and the Palestinian people will actually like it" because it would offer them a better life. "The global community is getting frustrated with Palestinian leadership and not seeing many actions that are constructive toward achieving peace," Kushner said. "There are a lot of sharp statements and condemnations, but no ideas or efforts with prospects of success." Palestinian leaders have refused to meet with the Trump team since the president recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital in December. Jerusalem is an emotional issue at the epicenter of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Israel captured the city's eastern half, home to holy sites for Jews, Christians, and Muslims, in the 1967 Mideast war and annexed it. The annexation is not internationally recognized. Palestinians seek east Jerusalem as capital of a future state. "If President Abbas is willing to come back to the table, we are ready to engage; if he is not, we will likely air the plan publicly," Kushner said. Abbas spokesman Nabil Abu Rdeneh responded to Kushner's interview by restating that American efforts will yield no result if they bypass the Palestinian leadership, and if they are not aimed at an independent Palestinian state with east Jerusalem as its capital. Later in the day Israel's military said its aircraft carried out several strikes in Gaza in response to Palestinians launching "arson and explosive balloons." Gaza's Health Ministry said three people were wounded. Local media and witnesses in Gaza said the injured were members of Hamas forces. For weeks, Israel has been struggling to combat large fires caused by kites and balloons rigged with incendiary devices launched by Palestinians in Gaza that have destroyed forests, burned crops and killed wildlife and livestock. The military said that Hamas is now orchestrating the flying fire bomb attacks and "will bear the consequences for its actions."

Trump: Supreme Court Travel Ban Ruling 'a Moment of Profound Vindication'

Tuesday, 26 June 2018 01:41 PM

President Donald Trump on Tuesday said the Supreme Court's ruling upholding his travel ban targeting several Muslim-majority countries was a victory for Americans and "a moment of profound vindication" for his policy. "Today’s Supreme Court ruling is a tremendous victory for the American people and the Constitution," he said in a statement. "This ruling is also a moment of profound vindication following months of hysterical commentary from the media and Democratic politicians who refuse to do what it takes to secure our border and our country."

Israel Struck Target Near Damascus Airport, Syrian Media Says

Israel targeted Hezbollah arms depot, watchdog says ■ Regime-run media says attack linked to Israel's 'continued support to the terrorist organizations'

Jack Khoury and Reuters Jun 26, 2018 1:56 PM

Two Israeli missiles struck a target near Damascus International Airport, Syrian state-run media said overnight on Monday, adding that no casualties or damage were reported. The target was an arms depot belonging to the Lebanese Shi'ite movement Hezbollah, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. According to the Lebanon-based Al-Mayadeen TV, a source said Syrian air defense systems had intercepted two missiles in addition to the ones fired at the airport. The Syrian news agency, SANA, said the incident was linked to Israel's "continued support to the terrorist organizations in an attempt to raise their morale, following their defeat against the Syrian army." The report added that the Syrian army seized territory from rebels in the southwest. The capture of the area cut across an opposition-held finger of territory in northeastern Deraa province, where Syrian President Bashar Assad has pressed his assault despite U.S. warnings. An American official told CNN that Israel was behind the attack in Syria last week, near the border with Iraq. According to Shi'ite militias in the region, 22 Iraqi fighters, backed by Iran, were killed in the attack, but according to the Syrian Human Rights Organization, the death toll reached 52. Syrian media accused the American coalition of the attack, but Washington denied it. The IDF refused to comment on the report. Last month, Israel's air force planes attacked dozens of Iranian targets in Syria, including Iranian intelligence sites, military camps and arms depots, in the most extensive attack Israel has carried out in Syria in recent decades. The attack was carried out following the firing of dozens of rockets from Syria at IDF positions in the Golan Heights. Four rockets penetrated Israel and were intercepted, while the rest landed in Syrian territory. There were no casualties reported. About two weeks after the attack, Major General Amikam Norkin said that during the incident Iranian forces stationed in Syria fired 32 rockets at the Golan Heights. According to the general, the Syrian anti-aircraft system launched more than 100 surface-to-air missiles at Israeli planes that attacked Iranian targets in the country. In April, Israel struck Syria's T4 army base near Hama which killed seven Iranian military advisers and members of the Revolutionary Guards. Israel's air force attacked the base after Iran transferred surface-to-air missiles that reach a range of 110 kilometers.

Pregnant women, children among 13,000 refugees abandoned 'to die' in Sahara Desert

By News Desk Published: June 25, 2018

Algeria has left more than 13,000 migrants, including pregnant women and children, to die in the Sahara Desert over the past 14 months, Al Jazeera reported on Monday. The government has undertaken this process in the past 14 months expelling them without food or water and compelling them to roam, sometimes at gunpoint, under the piercing sun with some never making it out alive. The banished migrants and refugees can be seen coming over the horizon by the hundreds, appearing at first as specks in the distance under temperatures of up to 48 degrees celsius. In Niger, where the majority head, the lucky ones march across a desolate 15km no-man’s-land to the border village of Assamaka. Others roam for days on end before a United Nations rescue squad can get to them. Untold numbers perished as nearly all of the more than two dozen survivors said there are people in their groups, who simply vanished into the desert. “Women were lying dead, men … Other people got missing in the desert because they didn’t know the way,” said Janet Kamara, who was with a baby at the time. “Everybody was just on their own,” she added. She recalled at least two nights in the open before her group was rescued, however, she said that she had lost track of time. “I lost my son, my child,” said Kamara, a Liberian. Another woman in her early twenties also went into labor and lost her baby, she said. Algeria’s mass expulsions have picked up since October 2017, as the European Union applied fresh pressure on North African countries to head off migrants and refugees going north to Europe through the Mediterranean Sea, as well as, the barrier fences with Spain. An EU spokesperson said they were aware of what Algeria was doing, but that sovereign nations may banish migrants and refugees as long as they comply with international rules and regulations. ‘Tossed into the desert’ Unlike Niger, Algeria takes none of the EU money intended to help with the migration and refugee crisis despite that fact that received a dispensation of $111.3m in aid from Europe between 2014 and 2017. Algeria provides no figures for its involuntary expulsions. Notwithstanding, the number of people crossing on foot to Niger has been on the rise ever since the International Organization for Migration (IOM) started counting in May 2017, when 135 people were dropped, to as high as 2,888 in April 2018. In all, according to the IOM, a total of 11,276 men, women and children managed to survive the march. At least another 2,500 were forced on a similar trek into neighbouring Mali, with an unidentified figure succumbing along the way. The migrants and refugees described being rounded up in the hundreds at a time, squeezed into trucks for hours on end to what is known as Point Zero and then being dropped in the desert and pointed towards Niger. They walk, sometimes at gunpoint. “There were people who couldn’t take it. They sat down and we left them. They were suffering too much,” said Aliou Kande, an 18-year-old from Senegal. Kande said nearly a dozen people gave up, fainting in the desert. His group of 1,000 wandered from 8am until 7pm, he said. He never saw the missing people again. “They tossed us into the desert, without our telephones, without money,” he added. ‘There is no mercy’ The migrants and refugees’ accounts are confirmed by video footage showing hundreds of people stumbling away from lines of trucks and buses, spreading wider and wider through the Sahara. Two persons said gendarmes fired on them, and multiple videos seen showed armed, uniformed men standing guard. Liberian Ju Dennis filmed his deportation with a phone he kept hidden on his body. It shows people crammed on the floor of an open truck, hopelessly endeavouring to shade their bodies from the sun and hide from the gendarmes. He narrated every step of the way in a hushed voice. Traffickers kill 12 migrants trying to flee Libya camp: UN “You’re facing deportation in Algeria – there is no mercy,” he said. “I want to expose them now…We are here, and we saw what they did. And we got proof.” Algerian authorities have refused to comment. However, the country has in the past denied criticism that it is committing rights abuses by abandoning migrants and refugees in the desert, calling the allegations a “malicious campaign” intended to anger neighboring countries. ‘Swift killer’ The Sahara is a swift killer that leaves little evidence behind. The IOM has estimated that for every person known to have died crossing the Mediterranean, as many as two are lost in the desert – potentially upwards of 30,000 people since 2014. The vast flow of people puts an enormous strain on all the points along the route. “They come by the thousands. This time, the expulsions that I’m seeing, I’ve never seen anything like it,” said Alhoussan Adouwal, an IOM official who has taken up residence in Assamaka to send out the alert when a new group arrives. He then tries to arrange rescue for those still in the desert. “It’s a catastrophe.” Most choose to leave by IOM bus for the town of Arlit, about six hours to the south through soft sand. And then on to Agadez, the Nigerien city that has been a crossroads for African trade and migration for generations. Ultimately, they will return to their home countries on IOM-sponsored flights. Even as these migrants and refugees move south, they cross paths with some who are making the trip north towards Algeria and Europe. Every Monday evening, dozens of pickups filled with the hopeful pass through a checkpoint at the edge of the city. They are fully loaded with water and people gripping sticks, their eyes are firmly fixed on the future. The article originally appeared on Al Jazeera

"Terrified" San Francisco Tourists Shocked By Aggressive Vagrants, Discarded Needles, Dead Bodies

by Tyler Durden Mon, 06/18/2018 - 09:11

San Francisco - a Democratic stronghold known for cable cars, quaint architecture and its diverse culture, has become a bastion of squalor and crime as city dwellers and visitors alike dodge aggressive, drug-addled vagrants. And it's beginning to scare the tourists... An Australian couple visiting the city were shocked by what they saw after deciding to walk back to their hotel: "Is this normal or am I in a 'bad part of town?' Just walked past numerous homeless off their faces, screaming and running all over the sidewalk near Twitter HQ and then a murder scene. Wife is scared to leave hotel now," reads a Wednesday posting by Reddit user /u/nashtendo. When another Redditor said "put on your big boy pants... scared to leave the hotel?"... The Aussie replied: It was my wife that was scared and it was partly the mass of concentrated, drug affected homeless mixed with a guy being rolled into an ambulance dead. -/u/nashtendo "We did La and Nyc on this trip too. Both felt safer," he said later in the thread, adding "Syringes were visible, people were staggering, others had wide aggressive eyes. 'Off their faces' might be an Australian thing (sorry) but I meant just visibly drug affected." Another Reddit user replied: It's pretty normal. I'm honestly hoping tourists will realize how shitty this city has become and stop coming. Maybe the loss of income will finally push the city to stop allowing the rampant drug dealing and homeless people treating the entire city like their toilet. You would think a city that deoends so heavily on tourism and conventions for the bulk of their income would put more effort into maintaining a certain standard, but there is rampant drug dealing out in the open in some of the most heavily tourist areas. The city know about it, they just don't care. -/u/SgtPeanutbutter "You see things on the streets that are just not humane," Kevin Carroll, executive director of the Hotel Council of San Francisco told The Chronicle's Heather Knight in April. "People come into hotels saying, 'What is going on out there?' They're just shocked. ... People say, 'I love your city, I love your restaurants, but I'll never come back.'" In a completely seperate thread, another Reddit user posted in the San Francisco subreddit "Why is this city so terrifying?" I’ve wanted to visit SF my entire life and I finally make it here and my goddddd it’s terrifying. Anyone have any advice for a tourist aside from “don’t be such a pussy.” -u/xnmb1 "The streets are filthy. There's trash everywhere. It's disgusting," Joe D'Alessandro, president of S.F. Travel told the Chronicle's Heather Knight in April. "I've never seen any other city like thisthe homelessness, dirty streets, drug use on the streets, smash-and-grabs." The city, which hands out up to 4.8 million syringes each year, has struggled to figure out how to keep streets clean and safe for residents, while accommodating a growing homeless population and longstanding HIV and Hepatitis C epidemics. There are roughly 16,000 residents in San Francisco with HIV, and 13,000 with Hep C. City Health Director Barbara Garcia estimated in 2016 that there were 22,000 intravenous drug users in San Francisco - around one for every 38.9 residents, while the city hands out roughly 400,000 needles per month. Of the 400,000 needles distributed monthly, San Francisco receives around 246,000 back - meaning that there are roughly 150,000 discarded needles floating around each month - or nearly 2 million per year, according to Curbed. Mayor Mark Farrell has said, repeatedly, in recent weeks that the problem of discarded syringes on city streets has become a sticking point for him, and the city promised millions of dollars to curb the problem of hazardous waste on sidewalks and streets. Meanwhile, San Francisco Chronicle’s Matier and Ross chimed in Wednesday with an uncomfortable observation: Most of the needles littering streets in downtown neighborhoods came by way of the city itself, as part of the Department of Public Health’s 25-year-old needle exchange program. -Curbed While certainly nowhere near the top of the list, crime is also a problem in San Francisco - which is higher than 92.7% of the United States according to city-data.com.

Scientists discover biomarker for flu susceptibility

Date: June 13, 2018 Source: Stanford Medicine

Summary: Researchers have found a way to predict whether someone exposed to the flu virus is likely to become ill. They used a computational approach to pinpoint a blood-based genetic biomarker to determine an individual's susceptibility to the disease. Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have found a way to predict whether someone exposed to the flu virus is likely to become ill. Purvesh Khatri, PhD, associate professor of medicine and of biomedical data science, and his team used a computational approach to pinpoint a blood-based genetic biomarker to determine an individual's susceptibility to the disease. "We've been after this for about four years," Khatri said. "To our knowledge, it's the first biomarker that shows susceptibility to influenza, across multiple strains." The biomarker is a gene called KLRD1, and it essentially acts as a proxy for the presence of a special type of immune cell that may be a key to stamping out nascent flu infection. Put simply: the more of this cell type found in a person's blood, the lower their flu susceptibility. The research even hints at new avenues for pursuing a broadly applicable flu vaccine. A paper describing the work will be published online June 14 in Genome Medicine. Khatri is the senior author. Graduate student Erika Bongen is the lead author. The secret's in the cell type At the start of their study, Khatri and his group ran gene expression analyses that sifted through the collection of human genes, looking for a sign that one might be particularly important for fighting off the flu. But the sheer number of genes in a small number of samples overshadowed any potential signal, so Khatri turned to a different approach that repurposed immune cell data collected from more than 150 studies that monitored gene expression in the immune cells of more than 6,000 samples. "The idea was, instead of looking at 20,000 variables [or genes], let's bring it down to 20 -- let's only look at 20 immune cell types and see if any of these show a consistent pattern in regard to H1N1 or H3N2 flu infection, and then we'll look at genes that are related to that cell type only," Khatri said. "And that turned out to be the answer." Using a computational approach developed in his lab, Khatri and his team parsed the identity and proportion of cells present in participants of two studies -- one conducted at Harvard University, the other at Duke University -- comprising a total of 52 individuals who volunteered to sniff up live influenza in the name of science. The researchers were looking only at types of immune cells present in each individual just before they were infected with the flu. "We found that a type of immune cell called a natural killer cell was consistently low at baseline in individuals who got infected," Bongen said. Those who had a higher proportion of natural killer cells had better immune defenses and fought off illness. "So we asked, 'What are the genes that represent natural killer cells?' And there turned out to be this one gene, KLRD1, that seemed to be a good target," Bongen said. Old data, new tricks KLRD1, when expressed, manifests as a receptor on the surface of natural killer cells. KLRD1 is basically a counting chip. When the score was tallied, Khatri saw that, on the whole, those whose immune cells consisted of 10-13 percent natural killers did not succumb to the flu, whereas those whose natural killer cells fell short of 10 percent wound up ill. It's a fine line, Khatri said, but the distinction between the groups is quite clear: Everyone who had 10 percent or more natural killer cells stood strong against the infection and showed no symptoms. Khatri said his findings could help health professionals understand who's at the highest risk for flu infection. "If, for example, there's a flu epidemic going on, and Tamiflu supplies are limited, this data could help identify who should be prophylactically treated first," Khatri said. Khatri emphasizes that for now, the link between KLRD1 levels and influenza susceptibility is only an association. The next step, he said, is to find the mechanism. "It will be crucial to understand the role of natural killer cells' protection so that we can potentially leverage that in designing better flu vaccines," he said. "Since we see that natural killer cells are protective across different strains, maybe that would be a path to a universal flu vaccine." More broadly, Khatri said that this research exemplifies the power of "data repurposing." "Our work shows how you can use data that exists from previous studies to answer questions that those studies alone would not have been able to answer," Khatri said. "But by aggregating the data, we were able to find a signal across both studies and use that to discover something new." Story Source: Materials provided by Stanford Medicine.

American Medical Association sliding toward support of physician-assisted suicide… here come the death panels

By Dave Hodges

Will the American Medical Association soon be in favor of physician-assisted suicide? In early June, the AMA decided not to reaffirm its position against assisted suicide – a decision which has shocked many. But indeed, the AMA has gone against its own Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs, which recommended the AMA maintain its opposition of euthanasia for humans. Advocates for assisted suicide have been very successful at opening doors for euthanasia in medicine. In some states, affiliate groups have already taken a more neutral stance on this issue, paving the way for legislators to approve the legalization of doctor-assisted suicide. While proponents of euthanasia say that their cause gives patients the right to a dignified death, the issue isn’t really that cut and dry. There are substantial concerns about the potential for abuse and coercion. Inevitably, this could give rise to an untold number of citizens quietly being put to death against their will – while no one will be the wiser. Experts warn against assisted suicide Matt Vallière, the Executive Director of Patients Rights Action Fund, told Life News that he, and other advocates for patients’ rights, are very concerned about the AMA’s sudden change of heart. “The American Medical Association’s decision to not confirm their own Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs’ recommendation – namely that they maintain their opposition to assisted suicide – does not take into account that this bad public policy puts vulnerable patients at high risk for coercion, mistakes and even abuse. Although the AMA’s opposition position still stands for now, a referral back to CEJA is a lost opportunity and a failure to stand against a policy that has grave consequences for everyone, but especially persons living with illness, disabilities, or socio-economic disadvantage. Assisted suicide is not medical care,” Vallière stated.

Further, he noted, the AMA’s Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs spent two years poring over research on assisted suicide before making their recommendation. The Council is an internationally respected panel of experts, and the AMA has basically ignored the panel’s statements on euthanasia in entirety, declaring that the issue needs “further study.” In their conclusion, the Council stated, “Physician-assisted suicide is fundamentally incompatible with the physician’s role as healer, would be difficult or impossible to control, and would pose serious societal risks.” The dangers of euthanasia The American College of Physicians (ACP) reaffirmed their stance against assisted suicide last year, noting that: “The power to prescribe assisted suicide carries a profound potential for misuse and abuse.” In their statement, the ACP noted that in a time when the cost of care is on everyone’s mind, the rising demand for euthanasia is alarming. And indeed it is; after all, killing off the “sick enough” would inevitably prove to be the best way to save money – how long will it take for that to become a platform? As Dr. Bernat, hailing from Dartmouth Medical School, wrote in 1997, there are several issues with assisted suicide. In addition to harming patient-professional relationships and damaging the practice of palliative care, the legalization of euthanasia will lead to more death. Dr. Bernat surmises that once physician-assisted suicides are legal, it will only be a matter of time before two things happen: Voluntary euthanasia will become legal, and soon after that, involuntary euthanasia will follow. Proponents of assisted suicide may scoff at that last contention – but look no further than the killing of a 29-year-old mentally ill woman in the Netherlands for proof that involuntary euthanasia is already reality. Can someone struggling with a mental illness make a rational choice in this situation, especially in a society that is basically telling them their life is not worth living? In the Netherlands, infants who are disabled and unable to consent to assisted suicide are regularly euthanized under what’s known as the “Groningen Protocol.” Studies have shown that staggeringly few infant euthanasia cases are reported on – even though estimates indicate 20 Netherlands babies are intentionally killed by their doctors every year. Studies from Belgium, where euthanasia is also legal, show that 30 percent of those euthanized are actually being killed without consent. Where do we draw the line?

These Stories Prove It's Well Past Time To Get America Out Of The United Nations And Put A Dagger In Their Satanic Agenda

By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die June 18, 2018

While here in the US, liberals and globalists are losing their minds over parents and children of immigrants being separated, perfectly exemplified in former NSA and CIA Director Michael Hayden's recent tweet comparing President Trump's immigration policy to that used by the Adolf Hitler and the Nazi's during the Holocaust, we'd love to ask Hayden when the last time was that he can remember an American citizen being imprisoned after carrying out a crime being allowed to bring their children with them to prison. Sharing a picture of Birkenau in Aushwitz in his tweet and captioning it "other government's separated mothers and children", as Susan Duclos reported on ANP on June 16th, the mainstream media is desperately and intentionally pushing the 'children in cages like a concentration camp' narrative in another attempt to distract the masses. Yet in this unfolding illegal immigration fiasco we get more proof that what was once called 'conspiracy theory' is indeed fact. As we reported on ANP back in 2015, an unusual number of WalMart stores across the country were going to be closed down for what were called 'plumbing problems' and while back then we speculated that such huge stores could easily be used as makeshift 'FEMA camps', as the Free Thought Project reported back on June 8th, that 'conspiracy theory' was proven as fact after Senator Jeff Merkley of Oregon was removed by cops from a Walmart in Brownsville, Texas that had been converted into a detention center. As Jeremiah Johnson reported over at SHTFPlan just days later, "how do you like it, Senator, when the 'deep state' works against you?" Reminding us in his story that "what's good for the goose is good for the gander", how many more 'conspiracy theories' that were written about during the days of Barack Obama and George Bush were also actually 'truths' that the deep state and mainstream media never wanted us to find out about? From Johnson's story: There’s an old expression: “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.” In this case, another old expression is even better: “Turnabout is fair play.” We are all still reeling from the Obama years of “transparency,” and “change you can believe in,” that both equated to Doublethink and Doublespeak. Under Obama, everything was hidden from the American people: Benghazi, Fast and Furious, Ukraine/McCain/Nuland, and the Arab Spring. Nancy Pelosi (on the several thousand-paged Obamacare legislation): “We’ll just have to read it after its finished to know what’s in it.” Yet each and every day, President Trump makes it clear that the days of Obama and Hillary Clinton are long gone and as we see in this new story over at the Western Journal that Steve Quayle linked to on his website on Sunday, President Trump and Nikki Haley are reported planning to stick it to the UN by withdrawing from the UN Human Rights Council, an absolute joke council that has been led in the past by wholesale violators of human rights such as China, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Libya and Cuba. As Quayle mentioned in an SQ note he left while linking to that story, "in my opinion, the 'UN is Beelzebub's building block set' and is totally anti-American and anti-Christian" and as we've previously reported on ANP, wherever the UN goes on their 'peacekeeping missions', all hell seems to immediately follow. As the website Italian Insider reported back in October of 2017, a Swiss-based NGO protecting victims and whistleblowers of UN 'peacekeeping missions' called "Hear Their Cries" estimates there have been over 60,000 victims all around the world in a UN child rape epidemic that has gone on for well over a decade. Claiming that the UN doesn't effectively investigate nor prosecute perpetrators of child rape so UN employees act with impunity against children, the following sentence taking from their story is horrifying: While British authorities have been warning since 1999 that predatory paedophiles are targeting children’s charities in the developing world to get access to children, to date the UN has not facilitated the prosecution of any of its staff members – even though the problem is perceived by many as huge. With that statement echoing what we now see coming out of the UK with Islamic child grooming gangs being covered up and those who report upon it being imprisoned while all across Europe, women are no longer allowed to be 'free' for fear of triggering an assault, we're not the least bit surprised that Breitbart recently reported that over 1,000 Europeans have been murdered or maimed by Islamic asylum seekers since 2014. And with the globalists still using illegal immigration as a weapon of war against sovereign nations all across the planet, the awakening we've seen in European nations like Italy and Hungary recently show that there is hope with Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban claiming “The replacement of populations is under way in Europe, partly because speculators like George Soros can make large financial profits” as reported by Pamela Gellar in this new story. The Daily Mail treats Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in this article as if he were pushing some crazy conspiracy theory, but in fact, Orbán is exactly right. The inundation of Europe by Muslim migrants is Soros’ plan. His organizations work to bring these hostile invaders to our shores. Clearly, Orbán is one of the few European politicians who is not owned by the black hand, Soros. If he is destroyed by Soros, the consequences could be catastrophic for Europe and the free world in general. “Hungary’s far-right Prime Minister Viktor Orbán claims ‘replacement of populations is underway’ with mass migration because financiers want to profit from the ‘ruination of Europe,'” by Khaleda Rahman, Mailonline, June 14, 2018: And as Daisy Luther the Organic Prepper reports in this new story, the European countries that are refusing to accept the unchecked flow of illegal immigrants continues to grow with Hungary and Italy joined by Slovenia, Austria, Poland, the Czech Republic and even Denmark discouraging would-be immigrants from entering. As President Trump recently told the G7, for many many decades the United States has been like the piggy bank to the entire world and the entire world has been robbing the American taxpayer blind. Why should American citizens fund globalists projects such as the building of mosques half a world away and in places where they're either slaughtering Christians or using the mosques in the planning of future terror attacks against Americans or the West? With Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan now claiming that there may soon be a war between the cross and the crescent, we must remember he also once quoted these lines from a famous Islamic poem: "the mosques are our barrack, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers." With the US taxpayer under Obama and the globalists funding much of it, were we funding our own destruction? The slaughtering of Christians by Muslims in the Middle East and around the world sadly continues to this day. In the first video below our videographer takes a look inside the largest child migrant camp in America which just happens to be at an old Texas WalMart (conspiracy theory confirmed?) while in the 2nd video below, videographer Zolna Report takes a look at President Trump possibly getting the US out of the UN's Human Rights council asking "What council?" as the UN child rape epidemic continues while their completely unprosecuted workers continue the workings of 'Beelzebub' wherever they go. Should the US support THAT?

GOP will hit FBI, DOJ with 'full arsenal of constitutional weapons' if they don't comply with subpoena, Gowdy warns

POLITICS 4 days ago By Gregg Re | Fox News

Trey Gowdy Rips FBI Report By Inspector General

House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy told "Fox News Sunday" that House Speaker Paul Ryan led a meeting Friday night with senior members of the DOJ and FBI, and made it clear that “there’s going to be action on the floor of the House this week if FBI and DOJ do not comply with our subpoena request.” The House Judiciary Committee has requested more than a million documents from the FBI and DOJ relating to the Hillary Clinton email probe, the firing of former top FBI official Andrew McCabe, and reported surveillance of a Trump aide during the 2016 presidential election. But Republicans have accused the DOJ and FBI of stonewalling and intentionally impeding their investigation, despite the agencies' claims that fulfilling the request requires a careful review of the sensitive documents. Gowdy, R-S.C., said the GOP's action could involve "the full panoply of constitutional weapons available to the people’s house." "I don’t want the drama; I want the documents." - Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-SC "Under the heading of minor miracles, you had members of the House working on a Friday night," Gowdy said. "Paul Ryan led this meeting. You had [House Intelligence Committee Chair] Devin Nunes, [House Judiciary Committee Chair] Bob Goodlatte, myself and everyone you can think of from the FBI and the DOJ, and we went item by item on both of those outstanding subpoenas. SEVEN KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM BOMBSHELL DOJ WATCHDOG REPORT INTO HILLARY EMAIL PROBE And Paul made it very clear; there’s going to be action on the floor of the House this week if the FBI and DOJ do not comply with our subpoena request," he continued. "So [Deputy Attorney General] Rod Rosenstein, [FBI Director] Chris Wray you were in the meeting, you understood him just as clearly as I did. We’re going to get compliance or the House of Representatives is going to use its full arsenal of constitutional weapons to gain compliance." Last week, emails reviewed by Fox News showed that Rosenstein himself threatened to “subpoena” emails, phone records and other documents from lawmakers and staff on a Republican-led House committee during a tense meeting earlier this year, in what aides described as a "personal attack." Gowdy told "Fox News Sunday" that "the full panoply of constitutional weapons available to the people’s house" are on the table, including contempt of Congress. "I don’t want the drama; I want the documents," Gowdy added. In a statement last week, Gowdy said he was "alarmed, angered, and deeply disappointed" at the revelations in the DOJ IG report released Thursday that analyzed federal investigators' conduct during the Hillary Clinton email probe. The watchdog's report unearthed new texts from senior FBI officials who investigated both Clinton and the Trump campaign, including one in which the No. 2 investigator on the Clinton probe, Peter Strzok, vowed to "stop" Trump from becoming president. Gowdy reiterated on "Fox News Sunday" that the IG report was deeply concerning. "I don’t know what [Special Counsel Robert] Mueller has," he said. "I do know this: that bias is so pervasive and everyone who has ever stood in front of a jury and had to explain it in a way will tell you it is the most miserable feeling in the world and I’ve never seen this level of bias."

Rudy Giuliani Calls For Mueller Witch Hunt to be Investigated (VIDEO)

by Cristina Laila June 17, 2018 144 Comments 12.6KShare 138Tweet Email

On Sunday, an attorney for Trump, Rudy Giuliani called for the Mueller witch hunt to be investigated. On Sunday it was revealed in the Washington Post, Trump associates Roger Stone and Michael Caputo were approached by another FBI informant during their campaign in the Deep State’s quest to tie Donald Trump to Putin’s Russia. And — once again — neither of them took the bait. The Fake News media is using this story to continue to push the Trump-Russia hoax in an attempt to drag the ‘Russian collusion’ narrative into the 2018 mid-term elections. Rudy Giuliani spoke to Jake Tapper in an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union Sunday and called for the Mueller witch hunt to be investigated. “I believe that the Mueller investigation should be investigated, not necessarily because of Mueller, but because of its genesis in this very very, now almost illegal probe–this Russia probe that began with Peter Strzok in charge. He didn’t leave until July of last year,” Giuliani told Tapper. Giuliani clarified he wants an investigation into what led up to the Special Counsel. “We want the Mueller probe to be investigated the way the Trump administration has been investigated,” Giuliani said. The Inspector General report revealed a very damning text message from Mueller’s lead attorney, Peter Strzok. The Trump-hating FBI agent sent his mistress Lisa Page a text message saying “we’ll stop” Trump from becoming President. This text message from Strzok was sent to Page 9 days after “Crossfire Hurricane” was opened and 6 days before the “insurance policy” text. Mueller and his team of hacks should be shut down and investigated immediately. On Sunday, President Trump once again ripped the Russian collusion witch hunt from his Twitter account.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump WITCH HUNT! There was no Russian Collusion. Oh, I see, there was no Russian Collusion, so now they look for obstruction on the no Russian Collusion. The phony Russian Collusion was a made up Hoax. Too bad they didn’t look at Crooked Hillary like this. Double Standard!

More Than 1,000 Europeans Murdered, Maimed in Attacks by Islamist Asylum Seekers Since 2014

By Virginia Hale 17 Jun 2018

More than 1,000 people have been murdered or injured on European soil since 2014, in attacks carried out by Islamist asylum seekers and refugees, research has revealed. Analysis by the Heritage Foundation found that asylum seekers were involved in 32 of 194 Islamist plots that have targeted Europe over the past four years, resulting in 357 deaths and 1,678 injuries. Breitbart London @BreitbartLondon Marseilles Knife Terrorist ‘Illegal Migrant,’ Islamic State Claims Attack http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/10/02/marseilles-knife-terrorist-illegal-migrant-islamic-state-claims-attack/ 

5:41 AM - Oct 2, 2017

Between January 2014 and December 2017, the attacks involving migrants who were seeking asylum accounted for 182 of the fatalities and 814 injuries, according to the Daily Mail. Noting that the terror threat on the continent has soared since 2016, when German chancellor Angela Merkel opened Europe’s borders, the the U.S. think tank warned that mass migration from the Global South made it “disturbingly simple” for Islamic extremists to enter EU nations. “Ill-conceived immigration policies have made it easier for [jihadists] to strike,” the Heritage Foundation’s Robin Simcox said, commenting that “the fall-out from the decision to take in such a large amount of unvetted people in such a short time will continue for decades to come.” “Europe has faced a severe threat from Islamist terrorism for years. Yet Chancellor Merkel’s decision to open Germany’s borders in 2015 unfortunately increased that threat,” he added. “While only a minority of asylum seekers pose a security risk, the plots carried out by those exploiting migrant routes – in Paris, London, Berlin, Stockholm and elsewhere across Europe – demonstrate that even a low number of extremists can still cause huge amounts of damage,” said the report, which urged EU leaders to reduce risk by minimising the number of migrants the continent imports from conflict areas scarred by Islamic extremism. “European leaders were either naïve about the risks or failed to communicate honestly with the public the impact that accepting such large amounts of people would have on security,” asserted Simcox, a national security and terrorism expert. Breitbart London has previously reported how the Media Diversity Institute, which works with “media decision makers” and journalism watchdogs across Europe with the goal of promoting only positive views of minority and immigrant communities, has warned broadcasters against “sensationalising” immigrant-committed bloodshed against the continent’s native population. Funded by globalist billionaire George Soros, the British government and European taxpayers through Brussels, the London-based NGO urged journalists to report on terror attacks on European soil in such a way that encourages the public to “avoid acting impulsively and to avoid spreading hate speech on social networks”. When a Tunisian migrant murdered 84 by driving a 19-tonne truck into crowds of people celebrating Bastille Day, the institute blasted French media for including “shocking” testimony of the event, warning it risked causing “angry” people to post negative opinions of Islam and immigration on social media.

Hungary’s Orban: “The replacement of populations is under way in Europe, partly because speculators like George Soros can make large financial profits”

June 19, 2018 by IWB via gellerreport:

The Daily Mail treats Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in this article as if he were pushing some crazy conspiracy theory, but in fact, Orbán is exactly right. The inundation of Europe by Muslim migrants is Soros’ plan. His organizations work to bring these hostile invaders to our shores. Clearly, Orbán is one of the few European politicians who is not owned by the black hand, Soros. If he is destroyed by Soros, the consequences could be catastrophic for Europe and the free world in general. “Hungary’s far-right Prime Minister Viktor Orbán claims ‘replacement of populations is underway’ with mass migration because financiers want to profit from the ‘ruination of Europe,’” by Khaleda Rahman, Mailonline, June 14, 2018: Hungary’s far-right Prime Minister Viktor Orbán claimed the population of Europe is being replaced and that financial speculators like US billionaire George Soros are hoping to profit from the ‘ruination’ of the continent. In a discussion on the growing number of migrants flooding into Balkan countries on public Kossuth Radio on Friday, Orbán warned that Europe was seeing a new wave of migration. He claimed it was necessary to fight Soros and his ‘army’ to prevent a ‘multicultural Europe’ because ‘we do not want to mix with others.’ In response to press reports that Soros’ organisations are in every Balkam country, Orbán declared: ‘It’s worth fighting against a force that is stronger than us – against a force like George Soros and his army. ‘We’ve played a role in this network being exposed, as we brought it out into the open, and now they have to openly state their goals. They want immigration. ‘The replacement of populations and peoples is under way in Europe, partly because speculators like George Soros can make large financial profits. ‘They are set on the ruination of Europe, because they’re hoping for large profits.’ As well as profits, Orbán also insisted that an ideological motivation for the creation of a multicultural Europe. He said: ‘On the other hand, there is also an ideological motivation: they believe in a multicultural Europe; they don’t like Christian Europe; they don’t like the traditions of a Christian Europe; and they definitely don’t like Christians. ‘They believe that if they mix us with some other kind of people we’ll be more beautiful, we’ll look better, and Europe will be a better place in which to live. ‘We, however, do not want to mix with others.’ He added that the current rising tide of mass migration poses a challenge for Hungary’s neighbours. ‘We are indeed seeing signs of a new migration wave, of a rising tide following a low tide; it’s rising now, and this poses a challenge,’ he said. ‘We’ve managed to ensure that now every migrant knows that they shouldn’t follow the path marked by the signpost pointing to Hungary. ‘This is good, but it won’t protect our neighbours, and as we also need stable neighbours we must provide them with help.’ It comes after Orbán’s government proposed legislation, to be voted on later this month, which would criminalise the act of helping asylum-seekers. Leading Hungarian non-governmental organisations denounced the so-called ‘Stop Soros’ package of bills that could see activists and lawyers jailed. The measures would allow courts to pass criminal sentences including jail terms of up to one year on individuals for aiding asylum-seekers. Representatives from prominent local NGOs called the proposals ‘an attack against human rights defenders’. Parliament should ‘drop the idea of criminalising our work which is in solidarity with asylum-seekers and refugees’, Julia Ivan, head of Amnesty International in Hungary, told a press conference outside parliament. ‘We do what we have to do, we are not criminals,’ she said. The government says the laws are aimed at persons helping undeserving migrants to acquire refugee status, for example if those persons were not in immediate danger before entering Hungary, or who entered the country illegally. Named after the liberal Hungarian-American billionaire George Soros, the measures are the government’s latest broadside against the 87-year-old, who has long been accused by the fiercely anti-immigration Orbán of facilitating migration into Europe….

Somali Gang Drives by Maine Park and Shoots Park-Goers with Pellet Guns – Then Beats a Young Father to Death

Jim Hoft by Jim Hoft June 17, 2018

Back in May a mob of Somali youths beat park goers with sticks and fists in Kennedy Park in Lewiston, Maine. The mob of at least 20 youths laughed as they beat two men in the park. At least one man required medical attention. Now this… This past week a Somali mob drove past Lewiston park and shot pellets and BBs at a group gathered there. Several people pursued the car from the park.  A fight broke out on the street and one father of two was killed. Police are investigating to make sure no racist words were exchanged during the beatings. The Press Herald reported: The 38-year-old man who was badly beaten during a brawl this week in Lewiston’s Kennedy Park has died, state police said. Donald Giusti of Lewiston died Friday afternoon at Central Maine Medical Center, where he had been hospitalized since late Tuesday night when the fight erupted. Friends of Giusti, a father of two, described him as a former brawler who had been trying to turn his life around… Two groups clashed Tuesday on Knox Street after teenagers in a car reportedly drove past the park and shot pellets and BBs at a group gathered there, according to Sun Journal sources who said they witnessed the events. Several people pursued the car from the park to Knox Street, where a melee broke out, the teens reportedly wielding sticks, bats and bricks, sources said. Police are investigating to determine whether there were racial elements to the fight, an assertion made by many in the aftermath of the brawl. Here is a photo of the deceased father.

Three Dead, Plants and Trains Halted After Japan Quake

By Kazunori Takada and Gearoid Reidy June 17, 2018, 7:27 PM EDT Updated on June 17, 2018, 11:17 PM EDT

Three people were confirmed dead and almost 100 injured after a strong earthquake hit Osaka on Monday morning, rattling one of Japan’s industrial heartlands and halting trains and factories across the region. The earthquake struck at 7:58 a.m. local time, with an initial magnitude of 5.9 that was later revised upwards to 6.1. At 13 kilometers (8.1 miles) it was relatively shallow, and caused heavy shaking that registered a lower 6 on the Japanese scale of 7. It was the strongest shaking registered in Osaka under records which date back to 1923. As the quake was centered inland, there was no fear of a tsunami. All trains and subways across Osaka city were halted, and the bullet train that links Osaka to Tokyo was stopped. Power was quickly restored to more than 170,000 homes that had earlier been cut off, regional utility Kansai Electric Power Co. said. There were no reports of abnormalities at its nuclear plants in the region. Three people were confirmed dead, including a nine-year-old girl, who was reported to have died after a school wall fell on her. Close to 100 people suffered injuries, according to the government’s emergency and disaster task force. Footage on national broadcaster NHK showed flooding from burst underground water pipes, train passengers forced to exit along train lines, and schoolchildren gathering outside in precautionary evacuations. While the quake appeared to spare the region of major infrastructural damage, the Meteorological Agency warned that strong aftershocks could occur, particularly in the next two to three days. In 2016, the magnitude 7 earthquake that caused significant damage and multiple casualties in southern Kumamoto was preceded two days earlier by a magnitude 6.2 temblor. Industrial Heartland The quake struck in one of Japan’s main manufacturing heartlands, home to companies including Panasonic Corp., Nintendo Co. and Keyence Corp, and plants across the area were halted as firms assessed the damage. Automakers Honda Motor Co., Mitsubishi Motors Corp. and Toyota Motor Corp. unit Daihatsu all stopped production at plants in the region. JXTG Energy shut its Osaka refinery and halted shipments, while industrial machinery maker Kubota Corp., brewer Asahi Group Holdings and cosmetics maker Shiseido Co. all stopped work at factories. Market reaction to the event was largely muted, with shares in some companies located in the region including Osaka Gas dropping, while Sumitomo Osaka Cement Co. and electrical contractor Kinden Corp. gained as the extent of damage from the quake remained unclear. A major earthquake has long been feared in the area, which is located near several major faults. Osaka is set to host the G-20 meeting in June 2019. In 1995, a magnitude 6.9 earthquake killed more than 6,000 people when it struck in neighboring Kobe.

Yuma Police: Man arrested for $1.3 million in fraudulent returns to Walmart

Jeff Popovich 9:18 PM, Jun 15, 2018 8:47 PM, Jun 16, 2018

YUMA, AZ - A man accused of committing fraudulent returns at more than 1,000 Walmarts across the United States was arrested in Yuma Wednesday afternoon. According to Yuma police officials, 23-year-old Thomas Frudaker was apprehended and taken into custody after officers responded to reports of a fraudulent transaction at the Walmart near 24th Street and Avenue B. Police say Frudaker had returned to Walmart to return a computer he had purchased earlier. Detectives believe Frudaker removed parts from the computer before making the return. During their investigation, officers discovered that Frudaker had committed a similar return earlier in the day at the Walmart near 32nd Street and Avenue 8 E, and at more than 1000 Walmarts across the United States over an 18 month period. These fraudulent returns have resulted in a loss of $1.3 million to Walmart, officials said. Frudaker was arrested and is facing multiple charges including fraudulent schemes, criminal damage, and theft. Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact the Yuma Police Department.

Israel foiled 250 terror attacks already this year

Sunday, June 17, 2018 Michael F. Haverluck (OneNewsNow.com)

Israel’s security agency Shin Bet announced Wednesday that it has thwarted 250 “significant terror attacks” against the Jewish State since January – attributing its success mainly to high-tech surveillance and tracking tools. Shin Bet Director Nadav Argaman explained to public security ministers at an international conference in Jerusalem that so-called “lone wolf” attacks in Israel and the West Bank are becoming more common than threats from organized Islamic terror groups – such as Hamas and Hezbollah. “The map of threats and challenges is varied and covers multiple unstable and difficult fronts,” Argaman, who has led his group since 2016, explained , according to the Times of Israel. “Since the start of the year, the Shin Bet security service has prevented 250 significant terror attacks – including suicide bombings, kidnappings and shootings.” The head of Shin bet released the statistics just hours after his agency announced that it arrested a Palestinian man suspected of fatally crushing an Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldier’s head with a stone slab in Ramallah’s al-Am’ari refugee camp last month. Israeli tech making it harder for terrorists At Israel’s rate of thwarting terrorist attacks this year, it will easily surpass last year’s total. “In December, Argaman told the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that the agency had thwarted over 400 terrorist attacks in 2017, including 13 suicide attacks and eight kidnappings, as well as 1,100 potential lone-wolf attacks,” the Jerusalem Post reported. “He further noted at that time that in 2017, 54 attacks were successfully carried out, in comparison with 108 successful attacks in 2016.” The numbers show that as Israel’s technology advances, so does it efficiency in nabbing terrorist attacks. “In 2016, the Shin Bet stopped 344 major attacks, meaning the total number of thwarted and successful attacks was similar for 2016 and 2017, but the security agency succeeded in thwarting more of them in 2017,” the Jerusalem Post’s Yonah Jeremy Bob divulged. “The major improvement was seen in the 400 potential lone-wolf attacks prevented in 2016, compared to 1,100 such potential attacks in 2017.” Being one of the most innovative and technologically advanced nations in the world evidently had a lot to do with Israel’s ability to nab terrorist attacks before they come to fruition. “The Shin Bet chief said part of the way his agency had been able to effectively respond to the ‘lone wolf’ attacks – which have confounded security services around the world in recent years – was through the use of advanced technological techniques like ‘big data’ – large amounts of information from which researchers can attempt to make predictions,” the Times of Israel’s Judah Ari Gross reported. Argaman noted how state-of-the-art advances – and his agency’s savviness to effectively utilize them – puts it at an advantage when it comes to Israel’s war on terror from against hostile neighbors in the volatile Powder Keg of the Middle East. “The Shin Bet security service knew to adapt itself and use technological, intelligence and operational tools in order to find these assailants ahead of time,” the security expert explained. “The great investment in technological developments in the worlds of ‘big data,’ machine learning and artificial intelligence by the Shin Bet has created a great leap forward from intelligence extraction to intelligence prediction for the purposes of preventing terror attacks and terrorist intentions before they’re carried out.” Yet Argaman noted that “classic” intelligence methods were also implemented by Shin Bet in its counter-terrorism operations.

Israel foiled 250 terror attacks already this year

Israeli security West Bank Israel’s security agency Shin Bet announced Wednesday that it has thwarted 250 “significant terror attacks” against the Jewish State since January – attributing its success mainly to high-tech surveillance and tracking tools. Shin Bet Director Nadav Argaman explained to public security ministers at an international conference in Jerusalem that so-called “lone wolf” attacks in Israel and the West Bank are becoming more common than threats from organized Islamic terror groups – such as Hamas and Hezbollah. “The map of threats and challenges is varied and covers multiple unstable and difficult fronts,” Argaman, who has led his group since 2016, explained , according to the Times of Israel. “Since the start of the year, the Shin Bet security service has prevented 250 significant terror attacks – including suicide bombings, kidnappings and shootings.” The head of Shin bet released the statistics just hours after his agency announced that it arrested a Palestinian man suspected of fatally crushing an Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldier’s head with a stone slab in Ramallah’s al-Am’ari refugee camp last month.

After mentioning that Islamic terrorists carried out hundreds of serious attacks against Israel since 2015, Erdan emphasized that the forum’s focus was to augment cooperation in the war on terror, which includes combatting radicalization, incitement and cyber threats. “[There are two] defining characteristics [in the current] wave of terror – [the] central role of incitement and radicalization, especially online, [and] the simplicity of the attacks carried out by individuals with easily accessible weapons and without the command and control structures of traditional terrorist groups,” Erdan explained, according to CBN News. “[These are] hi-tech communications [used to carry out] low-tech operations.” He said that terrorists are increasingly using the Internet to stage their attacks. “In the period leading up to the outbreak of these attacks – especially in the first half year of the terror wave – we were witness to an intense campaign of online and real-world incitement,” Erdan pointed out, noting that social media must play a dynamic role in fighting terrorism by utilizing the same tools terrorists use to fund their attacks. “[Israel set up a team to combat online incitement using] advanced web-intelligence tools and algorithms to identify potential terrorists. The World-Wide-Web must not be the Wild West.” United States Homeland Security Kirjsten Neilson argued that nations must band together and make a concerted effort to keep terrorists from penetrating their borders if they are to win the war on terror. “What this means is that a terrorist in your country is virtually in mine, and we have to really think about what that means as this threat evolves,” she impressed. “So, your risk is very much my risk – my risk is yours.” The American security expert went on to assure that a “collective defense” is the only true way to effectively combat the threat of terrorism today. “If we prepare individually, we will fail collectively,” Neilson contended. “Making sure that we can block terrorists from crossing borders physically – after they have in fact crossed our borders virtually – is vital. We must keep them out of our countries.”

A Yellow Alert Has Just Been Issued For 2 Major Volcanoes In North America

8:00AM EDT 6/12/2018 Michael Snyder

Massive eruptions of Hawaii's Kilauea volcano and Guatemala's Fuego volcano have captivated the entire world in recent days, and now it looks like even more volcanoes are starting to wake up. In fact, yellow alerts were just issued for Mexico's Mt. Popocatepetl and Alaska's Great Sitkin volcano. Mt. Popocatepetl and Great Sitkin both sit along the "Ring of Fire" that roughly encircles the perimeter of the Pacific Ocean, and many are becoming concerned that we may be witnessing some sort of "chain reaction" as volcanoes all over the globe begin to exhibit signs of increased activity. This even includes some unusual happenings at Yellowstone, and we will cover that near the end of this article. But to start with, let's take a look at the yellow alert that was just issued for Mt. Popocatepetl. The following comes from a government website in Mexico: In the last 24 hours, through the monitoring systems at Popocatépetl volcano, were registered 30 exhalations with emissions of steam and gas (image 1). At night was possible to observed incandescence that increase with some exhalations. At the time of this report the emission are dispersed to the south-southwest direction. CENAPRED emphasizes that people SHOULD NOT go near the volcano, especially near the crater, due to the hazard caused by ballistic fragments (image 2) and in case of heavy rains leave the bottoms of ravines by the danger of landslides and debris flows. The Volcanic Traffic Light Yellow Phase 2. The scenarios foreseen for this phase are: 1. Explosive activity of low to intermediate level. 2. Ash fall in nearby towns. 3. Possibility of short-range pyroclastic flows and mudflows. Any signs of activity at Mt. Popocatepetl should always be taken very, very seriously. It is known as the most dangerous volcano in North America for a reason. Experts tell us that centuries ago this volcano actually "covered entire Aztec cities" with super-heated mud... Historians tell us that Popocatepetl had a dramatic impact on the ancient Aztecs. Giant mud flows produced by massive eruptions covered entire Aztec cities. In fact, some of these mud flows were so large that they buried entire pyramids in super-heated mud. But we haven't witnessed anything like that in any of our lifetimes, so it is hard to even imagine devastation of that magnitude. In addition to Mexico City's mammoth population, there are millions of others that live in the surrounding region. Overall, there are about 25 million people that live in the immediate vicinity of Popocatepetl. Thankfully, we haven't seen a major eruption of the volcano in modern times, but at some point, that will change. In a worst-case scenario, Mt. Popocatepetl could absolutely devastate Mexico City, kill countless numbers of people and collapse the Mexican economy overnight. So let us pray that we don't see a major eruption there any time soon. Meanwhile, a yellow alert has also been issued for Alaska's Great Sitkin volcano. The following comes from the Alaska Volcano Observatory... Volcano: Great Sitkin (VNUM #311120) Current Volcano Alert Level: ADVISORY Previous Volcano Alert Level: NORMAL Related Articles Volunteers Flock to Church to Serve After Volcano Destroys Homes

75 Dead, Nearly 200 Missing as Officials Warn 'Fire' Volcano Will Explode Again Current Aviation Color Code: YELLOW Previous Aviation Color Code: GREEN Issued: Sunday, June 10, 2018, 1:26 PM AKDT

Source: Alaska Volcano Observatory Notice Number. Location: N 52 deg 4 min W 176 deg 6 min Elevation: 5709 ft (1740 m) Area: Aleutians Volcanic Activity Summary: Earthquake activity at Great Sitkin Volcano has been elevated over the past five days, and earlier today at 11:39 AKDT (19:39 UTC), a signal that may represent a short-lived steam explosion was detected by seismic data. AVO is thus raising the Aviation Color Code and Alert Level to YELLOW/ADVISORY. Great Sitkin Volcano is monitored by a five-station seismic network on Great Sitkin Island and with additional seismic stations on the nearby islands of Igitkin, Adak, Kagalask and Kanaga. A six-element infrasound array to detect explosions (atmospheric pressure waves) was installed on Adak Island in June, 2017, although it is currently (June 2018) only partly operational. AVO also uses satellite imagery to monitor Great Sitkin Volcano. Recent Observations: [Volcanic cloud height] not applicable [Other volcanic cloud information] Unknown Remarks: Great Sitkin Volcano is a basaltic andesite volcano that occupies most of the northern half of Great Sitkin Island, a member of the Andreanof Islands group in the central Aleutian Islands. It is located 43 km (26 miles) east of the community of Adak. Great Sitkin erupted at least three times in the 20th century, most recently in 1974. That eruption produced at least one ash cloud that likely exceeded an altitude of 25,000 ft above sea level. A poorly documented eruption occurred in 1945, also producing a lava dome that was partially destroyed in the 1974 eruption. A seismic swarm occurred from July 2016 through the end of 2017. Unlike Mt. Popocatepetl, Great Sitkin is located very far away from any large population centers, and so even a full-blown eruption of that volcano would not be that catastrophic. Of course, the same cannot be said about Yellowstone. As I have written about many times, a full-blown eruption at Yellowstone could potentially change all of our lives in a single moment. That is why the unusual activity that is happening there right now is such a concern... Yellowstone's Steamboat Geyser, the largest in the world, has now erupted eight times in less than three months, in a geological puzzle that has fascinated scientists working at the site. The most recent Steamboat eruption occurred Monday just after 9 a.m. "It was unbelievable," Jamie Farrell, a geologist at the University of Utah who happened to be at the geyser during the eruption, told Newsweek. He's seen plenty of other geysers go off—but not Steamboat, which is capable of the largest eruptions of all currently active geysers. Eruptions of Steamboat do not happen that often. As Mac Slavo has noted, the last one was in September 2014... Until this recent series of eruptions, the last time Steamboat blew was in September 2014. Steamboat's latest eruption was Monday morning when the geyser shot boiling hot water hundreds of feet into the air. Steam billowed from the geyser for hours longer. Steamboat is located in the Norris Geyser Basin, known to have the hottest and most changeable thermal area in nearly 3,500-square-mile wilderness park that sits on a volcanic hot spot called a caldera. That accounts for the geyser's towering columns of steam (it's very, very hot underground) but leaves a major fear-provoking question unanswered: Why now, and is it a sign the giant volcano is waking up? We better hope that Yellowstone is not awakening. In a previous article, I described what a full-blown eruption of Yellowstone might look like... Hundreds of cubic miles of ash, rock and lava would be blasted into the atmosphere, and this would likely plunge much of the northern hemisphere into several days of complete darkness. Virtually everything within 100 miles of Yellowstone would be immediately killed, but a much more cruel fate would befall those that live in major cities outside of the immediate blast zone such as Salt Lake City and Denver. Hot volcanic ash, rock and dust would rain down on those cities literally for weeks. In the end, it would be extremely difficult for anyone living in those communities to survive. In fact, it has been estimated that 90 percent of all people living within 600 miles of Yellowstone would be killed. Experts project that such an eruption would dump a layer of volcanic ash that is at least 10 feet deep up to 1,000 miles away, and approximately two-thirds of the United States would suddenly become uninhabitable. The volcanic ash would severely contaminate most of our water supplies, and growing food in the middle of the country would become next to impossible. In other words, it would be the end of our country as we know it today. Throughout human history, great societies have been taken down by natural disasters, and despite all of our advanced technology we are extremely vulnerable as well. So the fact that our planet is becoming increasingly unstable is a major concern, and I believe that this is going to have major implications for our future.

New Yorkers are preparing for near record-breaking weather on Monday as temperatures are predicted to be well into the 90s. According to the National Weather Service, the temperature could reach a scorching high of 95 degrees. It hasn't been that hot in the city since 1929. This sweltering heat prompted the weather service to issue a heat advisory for the city, which will be in effect from 11am to 8pm on Monday. According to the service, the heat and humidity will result in high heat index values, meaning it will feel hotter than the air temperature indicates. In New York, that heat index is expected to be around 100 and the highest will occur during the afternoon. Extreme heat can cause illness and death among at-risk populations who cannot stay cool and weather experts have warned New Yorkers to stay inside to avoid extended heat exposure. Governor Andrew M. Cuomo urged New Yorkers to take precautions against heat related illnesses and limit strenuous outdoor physical activity. 'With prolonged heat and humidity in the forecast, I urge New Yorkers to take necessary steps to stay cool,' Cuomo said. 'As temperatures continue to rise, I encourage everyone to check on your friends and neighbors who may need some extra help and to cool off at state parks pools and cooling centers.' Public schools in Jersey City announced on Twitter that they will close early on Monday due to the 'excessive heat'. 'Schools will close at 12:45 tomorrow (June 18) because of excessive heat. There will be no after school programs or CASPER, the Jersey City School District said on Twitter. Temperatures are expected to climb above 90 degrees in New Jersey as well. A front will drop in from the north on Monday afternoon, potentially producing thunderstorms with gusty winds, hail and heavy rain. Monday's hot temperatures will also impact multiple school districts in Massachusetts. There will be no classes for Lowell Public Schools and McAuliffe Elementary School warned parents earlier that classes could be affected due to the facility not having air conditioning. The district has been battling building problems this year, along with gas leaks and heating problems, NECN. Students in Haverhill, Holyoke and Lawrence, Massachusetts, will have early dismissals on Monday. Temperatures are expected to go back to normal after a morning rain shower on Tuesday. By Wednesday, New Yorkers will be experiencing weather in the low 80s. The potentially deadly heatwave has also wreaked havoc on the Midwest when temperatures reached into the high 90s. Temperatures reached the high 90s on Sunday in Chicago, approaching if not surpassing the hottest June 17 on record - 96 degrees in 1957.

Volcanic unrest around the world: eruptions at Fernandina island (Galapagos), Sakurajima (Japan), Klyuchevskoy (Russia) and Kilauea (USA)

By Strange Sounds - Jun 17, 2018

There are currently many volcanoes erupting around the world. Here the latest updates. Eruption of Fernandina Island’s volcano in the Galapagos archipelago on June 16, 2018 On June 16, nine earthquakes hit off Fernandina Island in the Galapagos archipelago, starting at 8:37 am. The largest quake of this seismic swarm, a M4.1, occurred at 9:22 am. The seismic unrest resulted in the eruption of island’s volcano between 11h and 11h15, as confirmed by a boat passing by. The eruption is located on the NNE side of the volcano and is currently characterized by lava flows, and 2-3 km high gas plumes. Lava flowing in the sea generates a powerful plume of steam and gas. Eruption of Sakurajima volcano in Japan on June 16, 2018 The Sakurajima Minamidake Crater erupted strongly on Kyushu Island, Japan on June 16 at 7:19 am local time. It was accompanied by an ash plume rising to 4,700 meters above the crater, before drifting to the west. Pyroclastic flows have been observed down the southwest flank and significant ash falls are reported on Kagoshima. The alert level is maintained at 3 / do not approach the volcano, in force since February 5, 2016. Klyuchevskoy volcanic eruption on June 15, 2018 Klyuchevskoy volcano erupted on June 15 at 21:38 UTC ejecting a plume of ash more than 6,000 meters asl., which then drifted southwest of the volcano. Moderate activity continues, justifying an orange aviation code, the risk of ash explosions always occurring. Source: KVERT Kilauea volcanic eruption continues At Kilauea, the eruption continues in the East Rift Zone, where lava fountains rise between 55 and 60 meters on crack 8, surrounded by a 51-meter spatter and tephra cone at its highest point. Fissures 16 and 18 continue to seep out of the lava. Fisures 9 and 24 appear hotter, and degass strongly. The lava flows into a well-established channel towards the ocean at Kapoho, producing “laze” plumes, loaded with hydrochloric acid and volcanic particles. Seismicity is rising at the top, where several earthquakes have been felt, some of magnitude 3. The collapse of the edges and walls of Halema’uma’u continues in response to the current subsidence of the summit. Source: HVO-USGS It’s getting really hot around the world!

Humanity and North Korea

By Hal Lindsey

In the last few days, the United States and North Korea have engaged in a battle of blazing rhetoric. It’s been a cold war of hot words. After the UN Security Council passed a sanctions resolution against North Korea last week, the rogue state promised a “thousands-fold” revenge against the United States. They threatened to “turn the U.S. mainland into the theater of a nuclear war.” President Trump said, “North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States. They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen.” Acting as an accelerant on the blazing rhetoric was news that North Korea has now passed another milestone in its quest to make the U.S. mainland vulnerable to its nuclear weapons. On Tuesday, major media outlets, starting with the Washington Post, began saying that the Defense Intelligence Agency now believes North Korea has the ability to miniaturize nuclear weapons for use on ICBMs. The report also says that the North Koreans have accumulated an astounding 60 nuclear weapons. We don’t know how many of those are small and light enough to be carried on ICBMs. But now that they have the ability, they should be able to convert their arsenal into missile-ready warheads with some speed. Wired Magazine summarized the story, then wrote, “The worst-case North Korea hypotheticals, in other words, have suddenly become all too real…. The list of hurdles keeping the country from directly threatening the continental U.S. (or virtually any part of the world) with an intercontinental ballistic missile has dwindled significantly.” One of the remaining hurdles may be the lower quality of North Korean missile guidance systems. With missiles, as with guns, hitting a target at greater distance requires greater accuracy. But that brings little comfort. Suppose the North fires at Los Angeles. They could miss widely and still hit Anaheim, Riverside, or Santa Barbara. Even “a miss” would instantly become one of the greatest disasters in American history. Later Tuesday, the Koreans threatened an attack on the U.S. territory of Guam. Thursday, they said that it will be a warning shot that will hit in the water off the coast of Guam. Why play such a dangerous game? If they do anything nuclear, or if they hit Guam itself, it will almost certainly spell the end of North Korea in its current form. U.S. Secretary of Defense, James Mattis, said, “The DPRK [Democratic People’s Republic of Korea] should cease any consideration of actions that would lead to the end of its regime and the destruction of its people.” He reminded Kim that the U.S. and its allies have the most “precise, rehearsed and robust defensive and offensive capabilities on Earth.” This all seems like madness. Why would North Korea want to put its people, as well as other nations, in such danger? Here’s the thing about human beings. As a species, we don’t change much. Fashions and technology give the illusion of change from generation to generation. But the fundamental human drives remain the same. In the 1978 episode of Columbo called “How to Dial a Murder,” a woman asks the detective why people murder. The Columbo character’s answer pointed to base human motivations. It could fit any generation of humanity. He said, “Fear, jealousy, greed… all those things.” From Cain killing his brother Abel, to Hitler murdering six million Jews, the motivations remain roughly the same. We delude ourselves to think that humanity in 2017 is kinder or gentler than it was in World War II. Human beings don’t change, but our weapons do. They grow more powerful every year. Technology relentlessly marches forward. It has no conscience, no fear, and no self-control. If one person doesn’t build the more powerful weapon, another one does. Technology doesn’t just make big, expensive projects possible. Over time, it makes those projects less expensive and more manageable. It takes what was once available to an elite few, and brings down the costs so that they are available to everyone. That’s great when the phone in your pocket has more computing power than a million-dollar supercomputer from a few decades ago. It’s not so great when rogue nations get nuclear weapons and ICBMs. Technology has not improved human character, but it has made us vastly more powerful. I’m concerned about the people of our time — not because we are worse than previous generations, but because we are the same. The Humanist Manifesto II from 1973 said, “No deity will save us; we must save ourselves.” So, how’s that project coming along? The situation in North Korea is just one of many examples of a world teetering on the edge of the abyss. The situation will not go away on its own. And we cannot save ourselves. We must turn to God for salvation. Nations need to turn to God, but I’m not speaking to nations right now. I’m talking to you. This is personal. 2 Corinthians 6:2 says, “Now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” (NKJV) In Acts 16:31, Paul and Silas said to the Philippian jailer, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.” (NKJV) Friend, now is the time. Now — before it’s too late.

North Korea: A Reckoning

By Hal Lindsey

World leaders have known for a generation that a day of reckoning with North Korea would one day come. There were no easy solutions, so they did as little as they could, hoping the situation would resolve itself. But it did not. While leaders, especially in America, kicked the can down the road, the North Koreans did what they said they would do. They said they would develop nuclear weapons, and they did. They said they would create missile systems capable of wreaking havoc on their neighbors in their region. They did it. They promised H-bombs, and they developed H-bombs. They said they would create intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). They have them. Finally, they said they would make bigger ICBMS, capable of striking anywhere in the world. And today, they have that, too. The people who allowed this disaster — the “can-kickers” — now go on television as pundits. They criticize any approach to North Korea that differs from their own when they were in power. But here’s the problem with that. What they did, didn’t work! President Clinton tried appeasing the North Koreans. He gave them fuel and food. The New York Times wrote about the North’s interaction with the Clinton Administration. “The lesson was an important one for North Korea. By provoking the West, the government had profited: It received several years of free oil and kept its nuclear power plant intact. The United States spent millions in aid and only briefly delayed the North’s weapons program.” But that wasn’t the worst of it. With the help of former President Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton gave them more nuclear technology in exchange for the promise that they would only use it for peaceful purposes. They accepted the technology, then restarted their weapons program. George W. Bush was criticized for proclaiming North Korea part of an “axis of evil” along with Iran and Iraq. But history proves him right. He addressed the North Korean part of the “axis” by initiating the so-called “six-party talks.” The U.S., along with South Korea, China, Japan, and Russia negotiated with North Korea. Responding to harsh sanctions, the North Koreans agreed to shut down their nuclear operation in exchange for aid. They pulled out of the agreement shortly after Bush left office. As a candidate, Barack Obama criticized Bush for isolating North Korea. He came into office promising engagement with the regime. Again, the New York Times had an interesting assessment. “Rather than negotiate, Mr. Obama imposed a policy of ‘strategic patience,’ hoping that through sanctions and espionage, the United States could wait out the isolated state. Mr. Obama hoped that the North would eventually feel it had reason to negotiate and make a good-faith effort at talks. Instead the North pursued its weapons program and launched a series of cyberattacks on American businesses.” “Strategic patience” is another way of saying, “kick the can down the road.” Doing nothing didn’t work. The U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency estimates that by August of 2016, Kim Jong-un controlled an arsenal of up to 60 nuclear warheads. Since then, they have added hydrogen bombs to the stockpile. While the experts were saying they were years away from developing ICBMs that could hit the U.S. mainland, they proved this year that they have at least two kinds of missiles with that capability. In the last few days, they showed the incredible power of their newest missile. U.S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis said this missile can hit “everywhere in the world.” Today, North Korea is hundreds of times more dangerous than it was just five years ago. When he decides to negotiate, Kim can enter talks from a position of strength. He has dealt himself into the game, and he has given himself decent cards. He can bluff with a real threat behind his words. He can blackmail the world. Most people feel okay about a conflict with North Korea because they’re convinced that Kim wants to live, and he’s not stupid. He knows a nuclear attack against the U.S. would be suicide. So, we’re safe. Right? He’ll bluff, but that’s all. Maybe, but not necessarily. In August of 2016, a North Korean diplomat, Thae Yong-ho, defected. The BBC asked Thae if Kim Jong-un might attack the U.S. “Would he even destroy a city like Los Angeles,” the interviewer asked, “though the retaliation would surely kill him?” "Yes,” Thae answered, “because he knows that if he loses the power then it is his last day, so he may do anything, even to attack Los Angeles, because once people know that in any way you will be killed, then you will do anything.” Even a former insider like Thae can only guess at what Kim might do. But his reasoning is sound. As the Bible prophesied, we live in perilous times. But God remains sovereign. And His promises remain true. If you haven’t turned to Jesus with all your heart, I urge you to do so now.

Israel Moves To Thwart Growing Hamas Maritime Threat

A series of offensive and defensive Israeli actions are keeping Hamas off balance.

June 15, 2018 Ari Lieberman

When it comes to military firsts, Israel can probably take credit for the lion’s share. Israel was the first nation to capture an intact Soviet MiG-21, the first to capture a complete intact Soviet P-12 radar station, the first to employ militarized drones in the context of a large-scale, Wild Weasel, anti-SAM operation, and the first to destroy not one but two atom bomb facilities. On June 2, 2018 the Israel Defense Forces executed another operational first. The Israeli Air Force bombed and destroyed a Hamas underwater terror tunnel. The tunnel, which was located approximately three kilometers from the Israeli border, was constructed for the purpose of concealing Hamas movements and allowing Hamas frogmen to enter the sea from an adjacent Hamas naval base undetected. Hamas has been trying to improve its militarized maritime program and has invested substantial resources into improving and expanding its sea assault capabilities. On July 8, 2014 a cell of five heavily armed Hamas frogmen infiltrated Israel from the sea at Zikim Beach, which is located just north of the Gaza Strip. They were quickly detected and Israeli ground and naval units were dispatched to confront them. After a running battle, all five were liquidated. An IDF soldier was lightly wounded in the exchange. While the attack was thwarted, it highlighted another danger and underscored the need to address the growing Hamas maritime threat. The frogmen were well trained and demonstrated considerable bravery. Though the cell was wiped out, the confrontation could have just as easily ended in disaster. In 1978, 11 PLO terrorists (the initial force consisted of 13 members but two drowned in route) landed on the Israeli coast at a beach site just north of Tel Aviv. In the ensuing hours they killed 38 Israeli civilians and wounded 71. It was the worst terrorist attack in Israeli history, surpassing the Park Hotel suicide bombing, which killed 30. Recognizing the threat emanating from Gaza, Israel has imposed limitations on Gaza sailing zones. Currently, Gazans are not permitted to sale passed six nautical miles from shore. To ease economic burdens, Israel permits some Gaza fishermen to travel up to 10.4 nautical miles from shore. When imposing such restrictions, Israeli authorities are required to conduct a delicate balancing act, taking into account security needs and economic burdens to the local fishing industry. Israel has also begun constructing an under-and above-water wall to thwart sea borne infiltration. The barrier, which defense ministry officials characterized as an “impregnable breakwater,” will be constructed in the vicinity of Zikim beach, the same beach that witnessed the 2014 infiltration. The barrier, believed to be the only one of its kind in the world will consist of three levels. It will have an underground component, topped by a level of armored stone and a third level of razor wire at the upper tier. Israel’s defense ministry believes that this undertaking will further undermine Hamas attempts to exploit vulnerabilities in Israel’s well-guarded but exposed coastline. But the IDF is not merely thinking in terms of defense. As highlighted by the June 2, strike, the IDF has demonstrated that it will act preemptively and preventatively to eliminate threats to Israel’s security. On May 29, the Israeli Air Force struck a Hamas naval base destroying a quantity of what the IDF characterized as “advanced maritime weaponry.” These were underwater sea drones created for the sole purpose of carrying out terrorist attacks. They were the brainchild of Hamas engineer, Mohammed Zawahri. Zawahri was assassinated in Tunisia by unknown assailants in December 2017. In April 2018, Fadi al-Batsh, another Hamas engineer believed to be heavily involved in Hamas’s militarized drone program was killed in Malaysia under similar circumstances. Israel reserved comment on both attacks but both are widely believed to have been executed by operatives of Israel’s vaunted intelligence service, Mossad. Hamas has demonstrated that there is no level of depravity to which it will not sink. The Islamist group has employed mortars, rockets, terror tunnels, IEDs, drones and even kite terror. The maritime threat is just another component of Hamas’s multi-tiered strategy of aggression and terrorism. Throughout its history, Israel has had to confront a plethora of threats faced by no other nation in the world. It faces genocidal Islamist enemies, Sunni and Shia, on all fronts. As a consequence, Israel has had to excel in technological innovation to deal with the challenges. It has also had to be at the top of its game and maintain a constant state of vigilance 24/7. Finally, Israel has had to adopt unique tactics to counter threats posed by malevolent adversaries. Defensive and offensive measures undertaken by Israel’s security forces – water barriers, covert operations, preemptive strikes – serve to keep the enemy off balance, thereby securing the safety of Israel’s citizens.

Israel foils Hamas plans for major attacks across Israel

20-member cell from Nablus planned attacks in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and West Bank

By Anna Ahronheim June 17, 2018 17:19

Twenty Hamas members from the West Bank city of Nablus who planned lethal attacks across the country – including a suicide bombing in Jerusalem – have been arrested, the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) said in a statement on Sunday. “In recent months, the Shin Bet, Israel Defense Forces and Israel Police uncovered a Hamas terror cell, extraordinary in its size and level of activity, which operated in the Nablus area,” the statement said. According to the Shin Bet, the joint operation took place from October 2017 until the end of April, when the arrests were made. The cell was led by 35-year-old Mu’tazem Muhammad Salem and 33-year-old Faras Kamel Zavidi, both from Nablus, and included more than 20 operatives. Most of the operatives were affiliated with Hamas; some had a long history of terrorist activity that included the manufacture of explosives and explosive devices. Salem and Zavidi were allegedly responsible for building explosive charges as well as planning the attacks, which included a suicide bombing in Jerusalem; a bombing in Tel Aviv and in the West Bank settlement of Itamar; and shooting attacks across the northern West Bank. These attacks were thwarted, some at the last minute, due to the arrest of the cell members. In addition to the main cell, other Hamas cells that were planning terrorist attacks were discovered and their attacks foiled, the Shin Bet said. During the investigation into the cell, Israeli security authorities found several explosive devices. One contained a large explosive charge of 10 kg. that could be remotely detonated by a cellphone. Other explosives were discovered that weighed approximately 15 kg. in total. Raw materials for the production of explosives, weapons and instructions for the manufacture of bombs and explosive materials were also discovered by security forces. Some of the explosives were detonated on site in a controlled explosion by the IDF. Salem and Zavidi were indicted in a military court on Sunday and detained until the end of court procedures. While the Shin Bet identified the cell as being part of the Hamas terror group, according to Salem’s indictment the idea to carry out the attacks began after Zavidi spoke to a member of the Al-Nusra Front in Syria, now known as Tahrir al-Sham, by using the Telegram messenger service. The militant in Syria is believed to have offered Salem $100,000 to manufacture a bomb and detonate it next to Israelis or IDF facilities. He was charged with attempted manslaughter, illegally creating and transporting an explosive, belonging to a terrorist group, contact with an enemy agent, conspiracy to commit a shooting, bringing terrorist funds into the West Bank and obstruction of justice. The other cell members are expected to be indicted in the near future. “This case again shows the desire and efforts that Hamas is investing in building terrorist infrastructures in Judea and Samaria in order to carry out severe attacks in Israel, said a senior Shin Bet officer, adding that “This case also indicates Hamas’ desire to carry out attacks against Israeli targets while undermining the current relative quiet. “Severe attacks and loss of life have been prevented. We, along with our partners in the IDF and Israel Police, will continue to take determined action to thwart Hamas’s murderous intentions. Infrastructure members will be dealt with to the fullest extent of the law,” he continued. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a statement saying that the arrest of the cell members illustrated Israel’s need to maintain security control throughout the West Bank. “The Shin Bet, the IDF and the Israel Police thwarted a Hamas terror cell which tried to carry out explosive attacks in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv from Nablus from inside Judea and Samaria,” he said, adding that “Hamas is trying to harm us both from Gaza and from Judea and Samaria. That is the reason that we will continue to maintain security control over the entire area west of the Jordan.” Nablus was considered the central hotbed of terrorism in the West Bank during the Second Intifada from September 2000 to mid-2005, which saw close to 1,000 Israelis killed and thousands more injured. Since the beginning of the latest wave of violence to hit Israel and the West Bank that began in September 2015, numerous Hamas attacks have been thwarted by security forces. During Hanukka, Hamas members from the village of Tel near Nablus planned to kidnap hostages and use them as bargaining chips to negotiate the release of Palestinians held in Israeli jails. In January, security forces broke up a 17-member Hamas cell in the southern West Bank whose members had been active in promoting terrorist attacks under the guidanceof a Hamas activist in the Gaza Strip.

'We're ready to write a new chapter between our two nations': Trump declares victory, boasting that he TRUSTS Kim Jong-un and persuaded him to sign a 'very comprehensive' agreement for 'complete denuclearization' after nearly 5 HOURS of meetings

Donald Trump told reporters in Singapore that he expects Kim Jong-un to uphold his part of a landmark agreement that requires him to destroy his entire nuclear weapons and missile programs

Trump said he addressed human rights with the North Korean dictator and said economic sanctions will remain as long as Pyongyang is a major abuser

Sanctions relief also depends on Kim's follow-through on denuclearization

'Our eyes are wide open, but peace is always worth the effort, especially in this case,' Trump declared, saying he had been up for more than 25 hours to oversee the negotiations

Trump said joint U.S.-South Korean military exercises will end and called them 'provocative' to the North, but hs spun that decision as an economic one, not as a negotiated concession

The press conference began with the playing of a video, first in Korean and then in English, that Trump said his delegation showed Kim on an iPad to encourage him to choose the right path

Trump said he spotted inviting-looking beaches in the footage, and said: 'Look at that beach, wouldn't that make a great condo? ... Think of it from a real estate perspective!'

Trump called Kim's stockpile 'a very substantial arsenal' but predicted he would be tearing it up

He said 'we're much further along than I would have thought,' and projected a time when the two nations have exchanged ambassadors and he has personally visited Pyongyang and invited Kim to the White House

In an interview taped before the summit, Trump told ABC News of his North Korean adversary that 'I think he trusts me, and I trust him'

By Francesca Chambers, White House Correspondent In Singapore and David Martosko, Us Political Editor For Dailymail.com Published: 04:26 EDT, 12 June 2018 | Updated: 14:02 EDT, 12 June 2018

Kim Jong-un affirmed an 'unwavering commitment to complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula' in a signed document on Tuesday, President Donald Trump said. 'We're prepared to start a new history, and we're ready to write a new chapter between our two nations,' he told a packed room of reporters at a press conference in Singapore. Pyongyang's nuclear weapons program will come to an end, he predicted, claiming that Kim had already left Singapore and was 'on his way back' to North Korea to begin implementing their joint vows. 'I believe he's going to live up to that document,' Trump said after a day that included nearly 5 hours of face time with Kim. 'Our eyes are wide open, but peace is always worth the effort, especially in this case.' Trump said he knows 'for a fact that as soon as he arrives' in Pyongyang, Kim is 'going to start a process that makes a lot of people very happy' even though the statement that his White House provided to press made no mention of an agreed upon timetable for denuclearization. 'He wants to do that. This isn't the past. This isn't another administration that never got it started and therefore never got it done,' Trump said, tweaking the Obama administration. In an interview before he met with Kim, Trump told ABC News that he trusts his North Korean adversary to keep his promises and denuclearize his country. 'I do trust him, yeah,' the president said. 'Maybe in a year you'll be interviewing and I'll say I made a mistake. It's possible. We're dealing at a high level, a lot of things can change a lot of things are possible.' He added that trust is returned. 'He trusts me, I believe, I really do,' he said. 'He said no other president could have done this. I think he trusts me, and I trust him.' Trump told reporters that he became convinced that Kim was serious when he agreed to dismantle a sophisticated missile engine testing site. 'We're much further along than I would have thought.' At the same time, he agreed that there are no guarantees that Kim will tear apart what he called 'a very substantial arsenal.' 'Can you ensure anything?' he asked. 'All I can say is: They want to make a deal. ... Can anybody be certain? But we're going to be certain soon because the negotiations continue.' 'I may be wrong,' he allowed. 'I may stand before you in six months and say, "Hey, I was wrong." ' And then with a sly smile, Trump joked: 'I don't know that I'll ever admit that, but I'll find some kind of an excuse.' The president said Tuesday afternoon that he had been working around the clock helping to cement the terms of what he hopes will be an iron-clad agreement that Kim will honor. That would mark a change from North Korea's past performance on pacts with the West. 'I haven't slept in 25 hours, but I thought it was important to do,' he said, animated as ever in gesture and vocal cadence. Trump made no promises about relaxing the economic sanctions that have strangled the hermit kingdom for years yet said he was 'actually looking forward to taking them off' if Kim follows through on his commitments. He speculated about exchanging ambassadors with North Korea 'hopefully soon' but cautioned that 'it's a little bit early for that.' A first step would be a White House invitation. The U.S. president again said he's open to inviting Kim to the U.S. and visiting Pyongyang himself. 'At a certain time, I will,' he said of a conversation with Kim in the Oval Office. He also projected that hostilities between the North and South 'will soon end' because 'the past does not have to define the future.' 'Anyone can make war, but only the most courageous can make peace. The current state of affairs cannot continue forever,' Trump proclaimed in his second news conference this week on foreign soil. Tuesday's press conference opened with a gimmick that White House official said would be surprising and was quickly smacked down as government propaganda. A video aired, first in Korean and then in English, that Trump said his delegation showed Kim on an iPad to encourage him to choose the right path - 'a version of what could happen, what could take place.' Trump said he spotted inviting-looking beaches in the footage, and said: 'Look at that beach, wouldn't that make a great condo? ... Think of it from a real estate perspective!' He allowed that Kim may not want as much modernization as the United States, a thrivin'g democracy, has and that the autocrat may want to 'do a smaller version of this' when sanctions are lifted. 'You may not want that with the trains and everything. Super everything. Maybe you won’t want that,' he said. 'It will be up to them. It will be up to them and up to the people. They may not want that. I can understand that, too.' The president in a shocking giveaway to North Korea said the U.S. would soon end or scale back longstanding joint military exercises with South Korea, and agreed that they were 'provocative' toward the North. He characterized them as 'very expensive,' however, and portrayed their end as an economic decision rather than a negotiated concession that the U.S. had previously said it wouldn't budge on. 'We stopped playing those war games that cost us a fortune,' he said in an interview with ABC that was taped before the presser. 'You know, we’re spending a fortune, every couple of months we’re doing war games with South Korea, and I said, "What’s this costing?" Trump said, 'We’re flying planes in from Guam, we’re bombing empty mountains for practice. I said, "I want to stop that and I will stop that, and I think it’s very provocative.' The president said at his news conference that he had addressed human rights issues during the summit, but downplayed Kim's brutal past. 'I believe it's a rough situation over there. No question about it. We did discuss it today pretty strongly,' he said. 'Knowing what the main purpose of what we are doing is here denuking. Discussed at good length. We will be doing something on it. It’s rough.' Trump insisted that Kim's human rights abuses were a primary topic of conversation, aside from denuclearization. 'I think it will change. I think it probably has to,' he said of changes that Kim will have to embrace in order to hail in the 'glorious new era' that he says is North Korea's for the taking. Trump also predicted that among the 'winners' in the future will be the tens of thousands of people held in North Korea's prison camps. And he said Kim was 'very gracious' about the prospect of returning the remains of American soldiers buried in North Korea more than a half-century ago: 'He said "It makes sense, let's do it".' In between the end of his meetings with Kim and his news conference, Trump sat down for several interviews, including one with ABC. He revealed then that he had spoke to Kim prior to today - a question from reporters he'd previously avoiding answering. Of the agreement he signed with Kim, Trump said in the interview, 'It’s a starter, but it’s a terrific document. I think far more -- and there are things that we negotiated after that document that are also very important.' He said that the document does not include a guarantee to stop producing ballistic missiles at certain sites but that Kim said he would. 'We’re gonna put that out later,' he explained. Trump also said that Kim 'committed to not starting again' weapons testing that has been on pause already for seven months. 'That won’t be happening. He means it he really wants to do something I think terrific for their country and it’s the only way it can be it’s the only way it can be terrific.' As the summit concluded Trump flattered Kim by saying he's 'a very talented man' who 'loves his country very much' causing a stir that carried over into the news conference. 'Well he is very talented. Anybody that takes over a situation like he did at 26 years of age and is able to run it and run it tough - I don’t say he was nice or say anything about it,' Trump said in equally contentious remarks. 'He ran it, few people at that age. You can take 1 out of 10,000 could not do it.' Trump similarly told ABC in response to criticism that he was legitimizing the brutal dictator with his outreach: 'I’m given what I'm given, okay? I mean, this is what we have, and this is where we are, and I can only tell you from my experience, and I met him, I've spoken with him, and I’ve met him. And this was, as you know, started very early and it's been very intense.' The U.S. had promised 'security guarantees' for North Korea in the lead-up to Trump and Kim's meeting for the first time during the high-stakes Singapore summit. 'I don’t wanna talk about it specifically, but we’ve given him, he’s going to be happy,' Trump said on Tuesday. 'His country does love him. His people, you see the fervor. They have a great fervor...They’re so hard working, so industrious. I think if you look at South Korea, someday, maybe in the not too distant future, it will be something that.' Trump president hailed a newly forged 'special bond' with Kim following a day of historic talks, praised the dictator as a 'skilled' negotiator and said he would 'absolutely' invite him to the White House in the future. Kim told him in turn that it was time to 'leave the past behind' and embark on a new era of relations with America. The dictator promised the world will see a 'major change' as a result of the summit. The two men signed a joint statement at the Capella resort that U.S. did not immediately release. News photographers caught sight of the text when Trump flashed a copy to the press but the one-page statement he claimed would be 'very comprehensive' did not land in reporters' inboxes until mid-way through Trump's long question and answer session. The agreement reaffirms an earlier declaration signed between North and South Korea, and commits the North to 'work towards the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.' Another point commits the U.S. and North Korea 'to establish new U.S.-DPRK relations in accordance with the desire of the peoples of the two countries for peace and prosperity.' An additional point committed the nations to 'join their efforts to build a lasting and stable peace regime on the Korean Peninsula.' Trump and Kim's statement: The full text Joint Statement of President Donald J. Trump of the United States of America and Chairman Kim Jong Un of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea at the Singapore Summit President Donald J.

Sentosa Island Singapore

The U.S. president says he now expects that he and Kim will meet again - 'many times' in the future, telling a room full of journalists representing American and North Korean outlets: 'This is going to lead to more and more and more and it’s an honor to be with you a very great honor.' Trump had said as the summit commenced that it was 'an honor' to be with Kim and open a direct line of communication that he expects after looking Kim in the eye to blossom into 'a terrific relationship' with the longtime U.S. antagonist. He told journalists later, after a working lunch, that he had a 'really fantastic meeting' with Kim that he believes was 'really, very positive.' 'I think, better than anybody could have expected, top of the line, really good. We're going right now for a signing,' he said. Talks were apparently going so well Tuesday afternoon that Trump showed Kim his limo, opening a door so he could inspect the car that travels everywhere with the U.S. president and flies in the belly of Air Force One when he's abroad. After the summit had ended, Trump assessed that Kim had a 'great personality' and is 'very smart. Good combination.' Kim, he said, is 'a worthy negotiator ... a very worthy, very smart negotiator. We had a terrific day and we learned a lot about each other and our countries.' Trump and Kim began the summit with a hearty handshake, exchanging pleasantries for the cameras and meeting one-on-one for 38 minutes with only translators present while the world watched with anticipation as the first-ever meeting between a U.S. president and a North Korean leader unfolded. Trump told reporters as he sat down for his initial meeting with Kim that he believed they were 'going to have a great discussion' that he believed would be a 'tremendous success.' 'It will be tremendously successful,' he reiterated. 'And it's an honor, and we will have a terrific relationship, I have no doubt.' Kim – whose voice is rarely if ever heard in the West – told the U.S. president through an interpreter, 'Well, it was not easy to get here. The past worked as fetters on our limbs, and the old prejudices and practices worked as obstacles on our way forward. But we overcame all of them, and we are here today.' 'That's true,' Trump said in agreement, shaking his counterpart's hand and making what appeared to be joke that was audible to only the two men and their translators as reporters were led out out of the room. Trump and Kim then held private talks with only their interpreters before walking together along a route that provided them with another opportunity to speak to press. 'Very, very good. Excellent relationship,' Trump told a tightly-restricted group of assembled journalists. The leaders ignored questions from the U.S. media on denuclearization of the Koran Peninsula, the topic of the Singapore talks. Moments later, Trump and Kim rejoined senior officials from both nations for a meeting that was supposed to get into the nitty-gritty of a possible nuclear disarmament deal. 'Of course there will be challenges ahead, but I am ready to listen,' Kim could be heard telling the U.S. president in the group setting, through a translator. 'We overcame all kinds of skepticism and speculations about this summit, and I believe that this is good for the peace.' Trump told him, 'We will solve [this]. We will be successful. And I look forward to working on it with you. It will be done.' A working lunch on Tuesday featured prawn cocktail with avocado salad, green mango kerabu with honey lime dressing and fresh octopus and 'Oiseon' Korean stuffed cucumber as starters. For the main course, the leaders had the choice of beef short rib confit, sweet and sour crispy pork and Yangzhou fried rice with chili sauce or soy braised cod fish. Haagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream with cherry coulis, Tropezienne and a dark chocolate tartlet ganache were listed on a White House handout as the dessert options. 'Very nice. Get a good picture everybody so we look nice and handsome and thin. Perfect,' Trump jested to journalists as they were briefly allowed to observe the meal. The almost unbelievable nature of the encounter hasn't been lost on Kim, whose repressive regime has kept the U.S. on edge for decades through bellicose statements, nuclear tests and ballistic missile launches. 'Many people in the world will think of this as a ... form of fantasy … from a science fiction movie,' he told the president through a translator in a remark overheard during a morning session by the press. In their very first greeting, Trump set the tone for the talks, sending Kim an outstretched hand and patting the dictator's right elbow with the other. Neither man smiled during the formal photo, taken on a red carpet in front of alternating American and North Korean flags. As they turned the corner to head into their first of several sessions, however, in an area that Trump may have thought was off camera, the U.S. leader broke into a smile while exchanging quiet words with Kim and another handshake that lasted several seconds. A third grip-and-grin followed brief remarks to press inside the portion of their one-on-one meeting that was open to cameras. For both leaders, everything was on the line on Tuesday in Singapore. Kim had the incentive of sanctions relief. For Trump, an agreement, no matter how weak was better than coming away empty-handed. Trump had taunted his critics earlier on Tuesday in the hours before his history-making meeting with the North Korean dictator in tweets. 'The fact that I am having a meeting is a major loss for the U.S., say the haters & losers. We have our hostages, testing, research and all missle launches have stopped, and these pundits, who have called me wrong from the beginning, have nothing else they can say! We will be fine!' he tweeted. He said in tweets before the sun rose over Singapore that 'meetings between staffs and representatives are going well and quickly,' echoing a statement from his White House the evening before that talks were progressing so fast Trump would leave Singapore early. 'But in the end, that doesn't matter,' he acknowledged on Twitter. 'We will all know soon whether or not a real deal, unlike those of the past, can happen!' Trump's motorcades was the first to pull into the Capella Resort in Singapore, which has been closed to outsiders for days out of extreme precaution, on Tuesday morning. Kim was not far behind, after making the under-fifteen minute drive from his hotel to Sentosa island along a route filled with gawkers. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo shared a photo of himself marching through a hallway with a determined look on his face as his opening salvo in a tweet that declared: 'We're ready for today.' Kim, meanwhile, spent the hours leading up to talks attempting to soften his image. The vicious ruler who has directed the murder of his own family members in a quest to consolidate his already absolute power posed for photos on Monday night as he went on a sightseeing tour with Singapore's foreign minister Vivian Balakrishnan. His tour included a stop at the Marina Bay Sands hotel and casino, where he was welcomed by a cheering crowd of tourists and local residents who had flocked to the location to take in the spectacle. Trump began shaping news coverage of his summit with Kim, which began at 9 am local time and 9 pm in Washington, bright and early at 5:30 a.m. Kim had spent his evening on a tour of Singapore with high-ranking government officials. He arrived at the summit after Trump and left Capella Resort for his hotel before the U.S. president. During the rare trip out of his hermit nation, the 33-year-old Kim sat with Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong for formal talks on Sunday and went out on the town on Monday with the prime minister's education and finance ministers. A timeline showing the build-up to the historic Trump-Kim summit The upcoming meeting between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in Singapore will kick off a potentially lengthy diplomatic process to try to resolve the standoff over Pyongyang's pursuit of nuclear weapons. Here's a look at how the diplomacy took shape this year:

January 1: After an unusually provocative 2017 during which North Korea tested a purported thermonuclear warhead and three intercontinental ballistic missiles, Kim tries to initiate diplomacy in his annual new year's address. He calls for improved relations and engagement with South Korea, though adds that he has a nuclear button on his desk. Trump responds on Twitter that he has a bigger and more powerful nuclear button, adding 'and my Button works!'

January 9: North and South Korean officials meet at a border village and agree on North Korea sending athletes and delegates to the Winter Olympics in the South. Hundreds of North Koreans go to the Pyeongchang Games in February, including Kim's sister, who conveys her brother's desire for an inter-Korean summit with South Korea's president.

March 5-6: South Korea's presidential national security director Chung Eui-yong visits Kim in Pyongyang and reports that the North Korean leader is willing to discuss the fate of his nuclear arsenal with the United States.

March 8: South Korean envoys meet Trump in Washington and deliver an invitation from Kim to meet; Trump accepts.

March 27: Kim makes a surprise visit to Beijing for a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in an apparent move to strengthen his leverage ahead of any talks with Trump. April 18: Trump confirms that Mike Pompeo, then the CIA chief, had met Kim secretly in North Korea and said 'a good relationship was formed' heading into the anticipated summit.April 21: North Korea says it has suspended nuclear and ICBM tests and plans to close its nuclear test site as part of a shift in its national focus to developing its economy. Trump tweets: 'This is very good news for North Korea and the World.'

April 27: Kim holds a summit with South Korean President Moon Jae-in. The leaders announce

aspirational goals of a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula and permanent peace.

May 7: Kim meets Xi again in China and calls for stronger strategic co-operation between the traditional allies.

May 9: Pompeo, now US secretary of state, makes another visit to Pyongyang to prepare for the planned Trump-Kim summit. North Korea releases three Americans who had been imprisoned.

May 10: Trump announces he will meet with Kim in Singapore on June 12. He tweets: 'We will both try to make it a very special moment for World Peace!'

May 12: North Korea says it will hold a ceremony to dismantle its nuclear test site between May 23-25.

May 16: North Korea abruptly cancels a high-level meeting with the South and threatens to cancel the summit with Trump too in protest over US-South Korean military exercises and US comments that the North should follow the 'Libya model' of denuclearisation by eliminating everything upfront. The North says it will not be unilaterally pressured into abandoning its nuclear programme.

May 22: Trump and Moon meet at the White House to discuss the Trump-Kim talks. The South Korean president says the 'fate and the future of the Korean Peninsula hinge' on the meeting in Singapore.

May 24: A senior North Korean diplomat calls US Vice President Mike Pence a 'political dummy' for his comments on the North and says it is up to the Americans whether they 'meet us at a meeting room or encounter us at (a) nuclear-to-nuclear showdown.' North Korea dismantles its nuclear testing ground in front of foreign journalists, but Trump announces hours later that he is pulling out of the summit, citing the North's 'tremendous anger and open hostility.'

May 25: North Korea attempts damage control, saying it is still willing to hold talks with the United States 'at any time, (in) any format.' Moon calls Trump's move to cancel the summit 'very perplexing' and says Washington and Pyongyang should get the talks back on track.

May 26: Kim and Moon meet at a border village in an effort to revive the summit with Trump. Moon says Kim reaffirmed his commitment to denuclearise their peninsula but also said he was unsure whether he could trust the United States to provide a credible security guarantee in return.

May 30: North Korean envoy Kim Yong Chol, the most senior North Korean official to visit the United States in 18 years, arrives in New York for pre-summit negotiations with Pompeo.

June 1: After meeting Kim Yong Chol at the White House, Trump says his meeting with Kim Jong Un is back on for June 12.

June 5: White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders tweets that the Trump-Kim meeting will be held at Singapore's Capella Hotel.

The Mark Of The Beast Is Right Around The Corner As Millions Prep To Buy & Sell Having Their Palms Scanned

Hackaday - Ask Hackaday: What Is The Future Of Implanted Electronics?

133 Comments by: Brian Benchoff

Biohacking is the new frontier. In just a few years, millions of people will have implanted RFID chips under the skin between their thumb and index finger. Already, thousands of people in Sweden have chipped themselves to make their daily lives easier. With a tiny electronic implant, Swedish rail passengers can pay their train ticket, and it goes without saying how convenient opening an RFID lock is without having to pull out your wallet. That said, embedding RFID chips under the skin has been around for decades; my thirteen-year-old cat has had a chip since he was a kitten. Despite being around for a very, very long time, modern-day cyborgs are rare. The fact that only thousands of people are using chips on a train is a newsworthy event. There simply aren’t many people who would find the convenience of opening locks with a wave of a hand worth the effort of getting chipped. Why hasn’t the most popular example of biohacking caught on? Why aren’t more people getting chipped? Is it because no one wants to be branded with the Mark of the Beast? Are the reasons for a dearth of biohacking more subtle? That’s what we’re here to find out, so we’re asking you: what is the future of implanted electronics? Over the past decade, we’ve seen hundreds of builds using RFID and NFC tags. We’ve seen people use these tags to start a car and open a door. We’ve seen NFC tags placed in bio-compatable glass, and we’ve seen RFID tags constructed out of ATtinys and a spool of magnet wire. Hackers, it seems, are all over short-range, batteryless electronic tracking tags, and that doesn’t count the huge number of subway cards, contactless payment systems, or the fact that just about every phone these days can read these cards. While embedding RFID tags under the skin delivers us this world of contactless payments, magic locks, and the ability to be tracked anywhere, we really haven’t seen many applications for embedded tags. In fact, the most interesting application of wearable RFID tags may just be putting LEDs on fingernails. Yes, for just $3 per fingernail, you too can light up whenever you pass within a few inches of a contactless card reader. Part of the lack of public interest in wearable RFID tags may just be a shortcoming of the system itself; if you want to pay for your drinks at Starbucks, that’s one RFID tag. If you want to get on the subway, that’s another RFID tag. If you want to open the door to your office, that’s a third RFID tag. Short of carrying around a tag programmer with you around at all times — completely negating the convenience of storing your keys under your skin — we don’t yet have the technology to have one RFID implant that rules all. There are, of course, other technologies available for implantable cyborgation, but chipping yourself with an RFID or NFC tag is by far the most popular. People aren’t really doing it, though, so we’re opening this one up to the peanut gallery. What will it take to make implantable electronics widely popular? Would you get one? If you have a chip in your hand, what do you use it for and how has that changed over time? What do you think?

A.I. And The Rise Of 'Demon Possessed Machines' Coincides With Humanity's Descent Into The Abyss And The Fall Of Western Values And Civilization

By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die June 11, 2018

In the much-too-close-to-reality TV show "Person Of Interest", two artificially intelligent 'machines' battle it out in the final few episodes of the 5 season TV show, one machine programmed to save the lives of potential victims of violent crimes and one which had been programmed to provide 'security' for 'itself' and to the government by 'eliminating' any and all potential threats to its dominance. With both 'machines' becoming autonomous in the show, able to think, reason and act for 'itself' without human intervention, Susan Duclos and I weren't the least bit superised while watching the show that the one A.I. 'machine' called 'Samaritan' turned downright evil, seemingly possessed, as it characterized anybody who it perceived was a threat to its 'survival' and to the corrupt government which it served as a mortal enemy to be hunted down and destroyed and many were slaughtered by its 'agents' during the show. And while that sounds like a science fiction horror movie forever vanquished to the realm of 'impossible', as we read in this new story from Greg Hunter over at USA Watchdog and hear in the only video below featuring Steve Quayle, such a possibility is growing ever closer every day. With the ongoing rise of artificially intelligent machines and the strong possibility that such machines will be 'programmed' for much less than benevolent purposes than simply being 'human helpers', a very real potential exists that such 'machines' could become 'possessed', with numerous examples already of inanimate objects becoming possessed by evil spirits. Coinciding with the rise and acceptance of evil all across America and the world increasingly seen in the growing demand for exorcism's from demonic possession as The Telegraph reported in this June 3rd story, Dr. Richard Gallagher, a psychologist educated at both Princeton and Yale claims demonic possession is very real and those who are seeking help for it should never be ignored. Yet how will we even know if demonic forces are somehow able to inhabit themselves into AI machines before it is way too late? As Mysterious Universe reported back in March, according to Reverend Jim Peasboro in a book he wrote more than 10 years ago called "The Devil in the Machine: Is Your Computer Possessed by a Demon?", demon possession can be experienced by anything with a 'mind', including humans, animals and even the processor of our computers. According to Peasboro, “Any PC built after 1985 has the storage capacity to house an evil spirit,” with storage capacity seeming to make a difference, and he asserts that “one in 10 computers in America now houses some type of evil spirit.” He seems to take this all quite literally, and claims that these malicious spirits are responsible for seeping through our screens to exert their influence, which has led to much of the crime and gun violence among young people seen in the country. As the Daily Mail reported in this June 3rd story, according to Pope Francis and the Vatican, demonic possessions are on the rise due to 'easy access to satanism online'. And while that might be what Pope Francis chocks the rise of demonic possession up to, when America narrowly avoided having a President voted into office whose campaign manager celebrated with Satanists and who herself embraced the satanic philosophy of Saul Alinsky, we'd venture to guess that the rise in those possessed by evil in America has a lot more to do with those who have long run America (and thus the world) than specifically the internet. First, from the Daily Mail story: The number of people seeking exorcism for demonic possessions is rising. In April, the Vatican ran a training course for priests brought on by the increasing demand for exorcisms. The clergymen were told the number of possessions was bought on by a decline in the Christian faith and easier access to Satanism and black magic through the internet. Pope Francis also said that life can be 'a constant struggle against the devil' and people should 'not think of the Devil as myth, a representation, a symbol, a figure of speech or an idea. 'This mistake would lead us to let down our guard, to grow careless and end up more vulnerable'. In the US, the number of priests that perform exorcisms has more than quadrupled from twelve to fifty in the last ten years. Yet any real study into the rise of demonic possession would not be complete without taking a look at the decline of the Western world and Western values brought on largely by the political philosophies of liberals and globalism. With Hillary Clinton having written her 1969 senior thesis titled "There Is Only the Fight...:An Analysis of the Alinsky Model" dedicated to the philosophy taught by Saul Alinsky, it's important to remember that in his book "Rules For Radicals", Alinsky dedicates his book to Lucifer. Why did Hillary so admire Alinsky? Remember, Hillary and her campaign manager John Podesta were in the White House and at the very top levels of Democratic politics for decades. Getting the 'big' picture now? As Susan Duclos reported on ANP back on January 6th, a New Years tweet exchange on twitter between Chelsea Clinton and the 'Church of Satan' only highlighted the Clinton's long list of satanic affiliations going back decades with former Bill Clinton friend Larry Nichols once telling Alex Jones that Hillary Clinton regularly took part in a 'witch's church' with Hillary even admitting in her own book that she wanted to create voodoo dolls of her enemies and stick them with pins. More proof Hillary herself believes inanimate objects such as dolls can be 'weaponized' with evil spirits? From Susan's story: As Aaron Klein over at Breitbart points out, this was not the first time Hillary had written about voodoo. In her previous memoir Hard Choices, Hillary described a voodoo ceremony that she and Bill Clinton attended in Haiti in 1975, stating "He invited us to attend one of his ceremonies. We saw Haitians 'seized with spirits' walk on hot coals, bite the heads off live chickens, and chew glass, spit out the shards, and not bleed. At the end of the ceremony, the people claimed the dark spirits had departed." Also it is well known, written about by Bob Woodward in his book, The Choice: How Bill Clinton Won, and spoken about openly by Bill Clinton, that Hillary Clinton used to "commune" with the dead. With her campaign manager John Podesta's ties to 'spirit cooking' also well documented, it might be an understatement to say that America dodged a satan-tipped-nuclear missile by getting President Trump into the White House. Yet the dangers we still face. In Steve Quayle's new book "Terminated: The End Of Man Is Here" (you can pre-order here), he warns us that the end of the human race is ahead largely because we have failed to recognize the dangers facing us as human beings even when they were staring us in the face. As Steve warns us in his book, if we continue on the road we're on, disaster awaits. From the back cover of his book: The human race has come to the point of no flesh left alive. Transhumanism and genetic engineering, when coupled with the hybridization of human animal 'genetic constructs', are thrusting us back into the Golden Age of mythological monsters and godlike humans. Superheroes, robots and demon-possessed machines will take humanity to the brink of extinction. The false promise of eternal life through technology, with new body parts and perpetual updates to your brain (enhanced neural networks), along with software and hardware updates, will be the ultimate seduction that most will be unable to resist. Obviously, those who will reject this "technocratic clustered paradise" will flee from the autonomous and self-directed slaughter-bots, setting the stage for a 5G electronic prison net run by the Luciferian Elite and their Fallen Angel Overlords, enabling the obliteration of our entire species. While Tesla founder Elon Musk once compared humanity's budding fascination with AI to 'summoning the demon', warning that A.I. was the 'biggest existential threat to mankind', just take a look at the wording he used in his warning: I think we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. If I had to guess at what our biggest existential threat is, it’s probably that. So we need to be very careful with artificial intelligence. I’m increasingly inclined to think that there should be some regulatory oversight, maybe at the national and international level, just to make sure that we don’t do something very foolish. With artificial intelligence we’re summoning the demon. You know those stories where there’s the guy with the pentagram, and the holy water, and he’s like — Yeah, he’s sure he can control the demon? Doesn’t work out. With globalists pushing satanism in our faces and the faces of our children every opportunity that they get and through seemingly innocent outlets such as childrens books, TV shows, cartoons and games such as Ouija boards, it's easy to understand that the battle that the human race is now up against boils down to is nothing less than 'Biblical'. As Skywatch TV reported back in March, "If Amazon Alexa & Echo Devices Can Be DEMON POSSESSED, Imagine What’s Going To Happen Tomorrow As People Interface Their Brains With A.I. Computers." And we were warned long ago in Acts 19 about the worshipping of idols and demons that we're now seeing in America and around the world, what the patriarch Kirill of the Russian Orthodox church called straight from the Book of Revelation: In a public speech in the main Moscow cathedral, Patriarch Kirill said the signs from the Book of Revelation are now apparent. He also called on politicians and ordinary citizens to unite and stop the movement towards the abyss. “All people who love the Motherland must be together because we are entering a critical period in the course of human civilization. This can already be seen with the naked eye. You have to be blind not to notice the approaching awe-inspiring moments in history that the apostle and evangelist John was talking about in the Book of Revelation,” the patriarch was quoted as saying by Interfax. With Quayle warning us that most of the news we have coming out around the world he calls 'Circus-distract-ticus' and meant to keep the eyes of the world off of the real stories going on behind the scenes, we'll close with this excerpt from the story by Greg Hunter over at USA Watchdog story which helps to summarize more of what we hear in this must listen interview.: Steve Quayle lays out the biggest danger facing mankind in his upcoming book called “Terminated, The End of Man is Here.” Quayle says the robot/transhumanism world of the elite will become fully visible in just a few years. Quayle contends, “When people ask me what is on the horizon beyond transhumanism, I can say to you, at this point, nothing. When they say it’s going to be in the year 2030 or 2045, in my opinion, and let’s see if it holds . . . my estimate, based on where we are now, they will start to manifest fully by 2022. These will be . . . “demon possessed machines”. . . . Imagine a robot that is programed, and you know what the final command that will be given to a robot will be? When they become totally autonomous and demon possessed, they will have simply one prime directive and that will be kill all humans.”

Trump Could Be America’s Best President Ever-One Thing Stands In His Way

By Dave Hodges

Former CIA clandestine officer, Robert David Steele, stated on “The Common Sense Show radio broadcast, that Donald Trump could go down in history as the greatest President ever…..but there are some obstacles.” The wisdom of his words escaped me in the immediate moment. I have always seen the potential in Donald Trump’s leadership and I have seen him pull the proverbial rabbit out of the hat. However, the greatest President ever? In the aftermath of the false flag chemical weapons attack in Syria, and the President’s ill-advisedre action, I did not see it. This morning, and despite my hesitancy in supporting some of the President’s recent actions and questionable appointments, I must agree with Steele. However, I am going to provide a caveat to Steele’s bold statement later in the article.

A Cross-Section of the President’s Notable Accomplishments When FDR was elected in the dark days of the Depression, he promised big changes in the “First Hundred Days”. Much of what FDR tried to do was struck down by the Supreme Court. When we compare what President Trump has done in his first 17 months, he has “out-accomplished” every President in American history. And he has done so in the face of a hostile media and the shadow Deep State government opposing his every move. The following Trump accomplishments are not meant to be a complete and exhaustive list of the President’s many triumphs in his first 17 months in office. Rather, this is a cross-section of my perceptions of his many accomplishments in a very short amount of time. President Trump’s ability to bring the leader of North Korea to the peace table is remarkable and I am having trouble finding the words in expressing my admiration on how he has taken America from the brink of war, that would have cost millions of innocent lives, to one of peace. North Korea will soon have the ability to take their place among the nations of the world in terms of diplomatic relations and trade. Their people will economically benefit and the NK regime will lose their need to be militarily aggressive because heretofore, the military was NK’s only real industry. I agree with former President Carter, Donald Trump could and should win the Nobel Peace Prize. By bringing NK to the peace table, the President has neutered China’s main military stooge and henchman. China needs NK to be the bad guy so they don’t get their hands dirty. However, China is on the verge of having to do, and be exposed for, doing their own dirty work. Further, moving NK away from China, militarily, changes the balance of power in the region. I have looked high and low and I cannot find one instance of President Trump engaging in an act of racism, desite the media’s allegations to the contrary. In fact, my review of Trump’s actions in this area reflects a President, who cares deeply for providing opportunities for people who have had difficulty in the past. There is one thing that the liars from CNN and the propaganda artists from the Democratic Party cannot take away from Donald Trump, in 17 months, he has overseen the highest Black employment rate in American history. I am not proud of my nation’s bouts of racism (eg slavery and treatment of Native Americans), however, this is now a different era and it is time to turn the page and embrace new opportunities for all people. What I am most proud of is that this President is not color blind. He sees the need for intervention in our inner cities with regard to economic intervention. He has quietly set up mentoring programs, at Federal expense, in our urban neighborhoods. He seeks to empower Black Americans, not keep them on the Democratic Party’s Plantation system of welfare which in the long term, kills individual initiative and hope. Trump is providing opportunity where there was none. Black voters support of Trump has grown from 11% to nearly 25%. I have had many Blacks write to me and thank me for supporting a spirit of empowerment among Black youth, in particular. Although I am appreciative of these comments, I have done nothing but observe. Trump is doing all the work. In the recent G-7 conference, Trump was outnumbered 6-1. Everyone from Merkel, to Marcon to terrorist George Soros, stated that Trump was interfering with the mandates of the New World Order. Many mainstream media outlets published the G6’s comments about Trump’s outdated populism views as a bad thing and that Trump needed to get on board with the new way of thinking. I was cheering for Trump’s defiance, as you should be cheering. Trump, while outnumbered, is facing the enemies of America and has won many important battles. Trump, by his actions, told the globalist G6 puppets of the New World Order “to go to Hell”. The G6 wants to collapse all national boundaries and they want the US to fund the installation of the New World Order. In other words, we Americans are supposed to pay for own demise and Trump said no. Through the elimination of the TPP and modifying other trade agreements, Trump is putting Americans back to work. Our manufacturing is being revived because of his trade policies while the rest of the world seeks to destroy our country, economically. I have only scratched the surface of Trump’s accomplishments. Yet, as I previously stated there is one very big caveat that stands in the way of Trump being a great President. And that caveat is the fact that Trump comes nowhere close to controlling the narrative with the American people who are still in a political coma and believe everything they see on CNN. Social Media: The Enemy of Self-Governance and Populism For people who are 45 or younger, 70% of the news that they see, is digital. In other words, and very disturbingly to the Christian, conservative world view, Facebook, Google, Twitter and Google-owned YouTube, and their illegal censorship policies are being successful in keeping much of America in the dark. In order to continue his accomplishments, Trump needs to be delivered a Republican House and Senate in the Midterm elections. This will require a free press. This is a pre-condition to the restoration of America. Trump’s continued successes have two major hurdles: (1) Rampant voter fraud led by millions of illegal aliens being allowed to vote, and vote Democratic; and, (2) The nearly total blackout of pro-Trump activism and successes in the media, particularly in the social media. In short, the illlegal censorship policies practiced by social media, as described by Senator Ted Cruz, is the single biggest impediment to Making America Great Again. And unfortunately, President Trump seems oblivious to this point. In Part Two of this series, I will be outlining a plan of action to neuter social media and return the First Amendment to the people. If we are not successful, a Hillary Clinton-type will be occupying the White House in 2020 and most of us knows exactly what that will mean.

Trump-bashing stars like De Niro and Maher now hate him so much they’d rather see America sucked into war and recession than for him to succeed – we used to call that treason

By Piers Morgan for MailOnline Published: 09:26 EDT, 11 June 2018 | Updated: 18:01 EDT, 11 June 2018

Robert De Niro marched onto last night’s Tony Awards show stage like a man possessed, exuding raw fury and menace from every pore. If you could morph his most violent, unhinged on-screen characters into one smoldering carcass of molten human hatred and ferocity, then this was that hybrid beast. De Niro was part Max Cady, part Travis Bickle, mixed up with lashings of Jake La Motta and Jimmy Conway. And he was intent on unleashing a verbal weapon of mass destruction at the man he despises more than life itself: Donald J. Trump. The 74-year-old tuxedo-clad thespian stood at the microphone for several long, lingering, intense seconds, driving the Broadway audience to whoops of expectant excitement. ‘I’m gonna say one thing,’ he snarled. ‘F*CK TRUMP!’ This promoted a spontaneous explosion of ecstatic joy and De Niro raised his arms into a triumphant boxer-style pose. He stared out, his inflamed eyes bulging with viciousness. Then he saw people, HIS people, begin to spring to their feet to cheer, so he paused to soak up their adulation. As the TV cameras cut to pictures of stars grinning with delight, De Niro did another boxer victory pose, this time holding his arms in a chest press position until the whole theatre was on its feet, roaring for their champion. ‘It’s no longer down with Trump,’ he bellowed, ‘it’s F*CK TRUMP!’ Cue more roars and whoops. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a human being more pleased with himself in that moment than Robert De Niro. He’d done what he came to do – hijacked yet another awards show with his anti-Trump vitriol, certain in the knowledge it would earn him more airtime and positive media coverage than any of his dismal movies in the last 20 years. And all the luvvies in the crowd had found a heroic mouthpiece for their own festering hatred of Trump. What was extraordinary about this outburst, and the audience reaction, is that at the very moment it was happening, President Trump had just flown in to Singapore for his historic summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. This is a meeting of quite stupendous importance, not just for America but for the world. If Trump can somehow pull off a genuine, meaningful peace deal with the planet’s most repressive, dangerous regime, then he will have achieved something none of his predecessors achieved, and saved all of us from a potentially catastrophic nuclear war. It’s a big ‘if’, and it may still all end in dismal failure and a PR coup for Jong Un. But I admire Trump for trying, and for getting this far. Surely the correct response to this trip from all Americans, regardless of their personal enmity towards Trump, is to hope it works and to wish their President every success in his efforts? Yet instead, Hollywood’s liberals have once again launched a barrage of foul-mouthed public abuse against him. The same Hollywood liberals, lest we forget, who gave fugitive child rapist Roman Polanski a standing ovation at the Oscars. Of course, there’s an absurd hypocrisy to celebrities berating Trump (justifiably..) for coarsening American political discourse with inflammatory rhetoric, then yelling ‘F*CK TRUMP!’ on live TV as families watch at home. Just as there was when arch feminist Samantha Bee recently decided to call Ivanka Trump a ‘c**t’ on her own show. It seems none of them got the ‘When they go low, we go high’ memo from Michelle Obama. But there is a wider, bigger question for these stars that concerns me a lot more than their abusive language, and it’s this: at what point does your blind, pathological hatred for your President override America’s national interest? The perfect illustration of what I’m talking about came on Friday night during Bill Maher’s Real Time show on HBO. Maher, a man whose aversion to all things Trump almost rivals De Niro’s, actually said the following words as he articulated his desire to remove the President from power: ‘I feel like the bottom has to fall out (of the economy) at some point, and by the way, I’m hoping for it. I think one way you get rid of Trump is by crashing the economy. So please, bring on the recession. Sorry if that hurts people but it’s either root for a recession or you lose your democracy.’ Sorry, WHAT? You loathe Trump so much you actually want a crippling financial crisis to ravage your own country and devastate millions of the poorest and most vulnerable of your fellow Americans? The irony of Maher’s ridiculously offensive comment is that the economy has so far turned out to be very successful under Trump. Unemployment’s fallen to an 18-year low of 3.8%, with Black and Hispanic unemployment hitting historic lows. And the stock market, too, has been hitting record highs. Last week, Warren Buffett, the Sage of Omaha, gave Trumponomics a ringing endorsement, saying the US economy was ‘feeling strong’. Using a baseball analogy to explain his positivity, he added: ‘If we’re in the sixth inning, we have our sluggers coming to bat right now.’ So why would Bill Maher, himself worth a recession-proof £100 million, be so keen to see the booming economy collapse? The answer, sadly, is that he hates Trump so much he can’t bear to acknowledge any of his successes and would rather he fail even if that means America fails too. De Niro’s of the same mentality. He used to be a world-class actor. In fact, he was one of the greatest actors of all time. Today, he’s a world-class Trump-bashing agitator, and notwithstanding a highly competitive field, in this new role he’s indisputably THE greatest of all time. That’s why the Tony Awards crowd went so crazy when he shouted ‘F*CK TRUMP!’ Just as similar liberal actor crowds did when De Niro spouted similar abuse at other awards ceremonies, including one occasion when he actually threatened to physically beat up the President. It’s childish, pathetic and embarrassing – all the things De Niro professes to hate in Trump. And coming as the President tries to forge peace with North Korea, it also feels very un-patriotic and disloyal. In fact, it feels un-American. My message to De Niro, Maher and all the other Trump-loathing stars is this: you can hate the President all you like, but if your hatred means you’d rather see America sucked into war or financial ruin than to see him succeed, then YOU’RE the problem – not him. And shame on you.

Extreme fire danger in the West forces another national forest to close

By Associated Press Jun 11, 2018 | 6:10 PM

Extreme fire danger prompted officials Monday to say they are shutting down a sprawling forest that includes some of Colorado's most stunning mountains in a region that attracts tourists from around the world, a rare tactic also being used in neighboring states as the U.S. Southwest struggles with severe drought. National forests and parks in Arizona and New Mexico have already been shut down as precautions. San Juan National Forest officials in southwestern Colorado planned to close hundreds of miles of trails and thousands of miles of back roads to hikers, bikers, horseback riders and campers as soon as Tuesday to prevent the possibility of an abandoned campfire or any other spark from starting a wildfire. It's the first full closure of a national forest in Colorado since 2002, which was another very dry year. The closure will remain until sufficient precipitation eases the fire danger. The move comes as the residents of over 2,000 homes have been forced to evacuate because of a fire that started June 1 in the forest. The fire has now grown to about 35 square miles and authorities are continuing to investigate how it started. No homes have been lost, although the fire came close to buildings Sunday night, authorities said. Fire managers credited advance fire mitigation work by homeowners for helping firefighters save the structures. Much of the U.S. West is experiencing some level of drought and the Four Corners region — where Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado meet — is the epicenter of a severe drought. In New Mexico, the Santa Fe National Forest, along with portions of three national park sites, closed June 1 because of the fire danger. The Santa Fe forest is among New Mexico's most popular getaways. Portions of national forests in Arizona were also closed in late May because of severe fire conditions. Full forest closures are uncommon and the U.S. Forest Service stresses they're only done as a last resort. The Coconino National Forest in Arizona shut down completely because of fire danger in 2006 for nine days. A 2002 shutdown lasted nine weeks, including both Memorial Day and July 4 holidays, and other national forests had closures that year. Colorado's latest closure will also bar non-recreational uses, although ranchers, for example, who use some of the forest's over 2,800 square miles for grazing will be able to seek exemptions, San Juan National Forest spokeswoman Cam Hooley said. If any exemptions are granted, those users would be required to take precautions, such as carrying water, shovels and fire extinguishers and possibly only allowed in during certain times of the day, she said. "We recognize that this is difficult for the local businesses and the local economy and just ask that people just be understanding and patient," Hooley said. The region, which is also home to Mesa Verde National Park, relies heavily on visitors to support its economy, and fire managers have tried to help encourage them to keep coming by including links to tourism information in their regular fire updates. One of the main tourist attractions, a historic scenic railroad that takes riders through the majestic San Juan Mountains in the forest, has suspended its service and furloughed its seasonal workers. It may reopen later this month with diesel engines to replace its traditional coal-fired locomotives that can throw sparks. Sweetie Marbury, the mayor of nearby Durango — about 10 miles from the fire — said there are plenty of things people can do in the area, including river rafting, cycling and fishing and learning about history at places like Mesa Verde and Chimney Rock National Monument. "We are resilient in Durango. We bounce back," she said.

Changing lives with God's help

By ROBERT LEE LONG Community Editor Jun 1, 2018

Their names are Holly and Candace and their lives have been transformed forever — due to the supernatural power of Jesus Christ. The two women, both mothers of young children, have received a fresh start in life after years spent enduring the turmoil of drug addiction. Holly and Candace recently graduated from the program at the Breakthrough Center for Women in Olive Branch, an offshoot of Warrior Ministries, which has a separate shelter for men struggling through drug addiction, with both programs under the ministry of Pastor David Vincent. "I was in jail every year of my life with 18 felonies on my record," Vincent said as he shared his own personal story and testimony. "If it wasn't for the grace of God, I would not be here standing before you today. God touched my life." Vincent said he began doing some research on his own and discovered that the rate of recidivism or repeat offense is very high unless there is a change within a person's heart. "The best chance for changing a life is a long-term Christian ministry," Vincent said. Vincent began working with assisting homeless men and battered and abused women who had nowhere else to turn. The Warrior Center began its women's ministry three years ago in Olive Branch. There are currently 27 women enrolled in the program, including Holly and Candace. In Holly's case, her father died when she was five from an overdose. Her biological mother passed away from heroin addiction several years later. "My mother, the woman who raised me, tried to steer me in the right path," Holly said, adding that she rebelled. "At 13, I started using cocaine and soon graduated on to other drugs." She said that she became pregnant and her adopted mother persuaded her to get an abortion. She later married and had children but "ended up in prison." "It all caught up with me again," Holly said. Holly was able to get her life straight through the Breakthrough Center and is employed in a leadership position with the women's ministry program. "All the times I could have died God had a covering over me," Holly said. "I decided to stay and give back to God," she said of her position with the Breakthrough Center. She quoted Second Corinthians, Chapter 4, Verses 7-9: "We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed." Candace said her grandmother lost three of her four children to drugs. "My mother had a heroin and crack addiction," Candace said. "I could show you how to shoot heroin at age eight. By the age of 14, I started smoking weed and rebelling. I have three daughters and lost them to addiction. For more than a year, the Holy Spirit was ministering to me. The only place I could go to was God." Candace said God sent a stranger to kneel and pray with her. "I know God was waiting for me to completely surrender to Him. I discovered Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. I have been blessed with a hope and a future." The Breakthrough Center in Olive Branch operates a thrift store known as Uptown Thrift Store which funds the Warrior and associated ministries. Local benefactor, Dr. Robert Seymour, a Hernando dentist, also plays an instrumental part in supporting the ministry. Warrior Ministries operates a 68-bed men's ministry in Memphis, 27 beds for women in Olive Branch and is poised to soon open a 60-bed women's facility in Bolivar, Tenn. "If any man or woman will take that step, God will change a life," Vincent said. Robert Lee Long is Community Editor of the DeSoto Times-Tribune.

Trump's Vow to End Military Drills With Seoul Stuns a Region

Tuesday, 12 June 2018 12:39 PM

President Donald Trump rocked the region with the stunning announcement Tuesday that he was halting annual U.S.-South Korean military drills — and wants to remove the 28,500 U.S. troops stationed in the South as a deterrent against North Korea. Trump's surprise, almost offhand comments, made during a news conference after his summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, seemingly upended decades of the U.S. defense posture on the Korean Peninsula. The remarks contradicted countless previous declarations by U.S. political and military officials over the years that the drills are routine, defensive and absolutely critical. Trump has now essentially adopted the standard North Korean line, calling the military exercises a "provocative" drain of money and announcing they would stop while he continues talks with Kim, whom he repeatedly praised as a solid negotiating partner. His statement was quickly portrayed by critics as a major, unreciprocated concession to a country that only last year was threatening Seoul and Washington with nuclear war. It also seemed to leave officials completely off guard in South Korea, where the presence of U.S. troops has long been described as necessary to maintaining peace on the peninsula. Seoul's presidential office told The Associated Press that it was trying to parse Trump's comments. The South Korean military seemed similarly surprised. "At this current point, there is a need to discern the exact meaning and intent of President Trump's comments," Seoul's Defense Ministry said, adding that there have been no discussions yet with Washington on modifying drills set for August. U.S. forces in South Korea said it has "received no updated guidance on the execution or cessation of training exercises" and will continue to coordinate with South Korean partners and maintain the current posture until it receives an updated guidance from the Department of Defense or the Indo-Pacific Command. Trump's comments will be questioned by many in South Korea and beyond, with some seeing in them an effort by North Korea to drive a wedge between Seoul and Washington. North Korea regularly calls the military exercises provocative preparations for a northward invasion, and many of the scariest standoffs in recent years on the Korean Peninsula have happened when the drills were being staged. Outside analysts believe the North objects to the drills because it must spend precious resources on its own war games and troop movements. North Korea also insists that the U.S. troop presence in the South, as well as its nuclear "umbrella" over allies Seoul and Tokyo, are part of America's "hostile" policy toward the North. "I want to bring our soldiers back home," Trump said, although he added that it's "not part of the equation right now." Then he said: "We will be stopping the war games, which will save us a tremendous amount of money unless and until we see the future negotiation is not going along like it should. But we'll be saving a tremendous amount of money. Plus, I think it's very provocative." The comments could fundamentally change the way the United States, whose alliance with Seoul was forged after a 1950 surprise attack by the North started the Korean War, operates in South Korea. Trump's announcement that the U.S. would stop military exercises, his description of those drills as "provocative" and his suggestion that he wants to pull U.S. troops out at some point are "all things that Trump is putting on the table as concessions, all in exchange for some vague promises by the North Koreans," said Paul Haenle, a former China director at the White House National Security Council in the Barack Obama and George W. Bush administrations. Annual military drills between Washington and Seoul have been a major source of contention between the Koreas for years, and analysts have wondered whether their continuation would hurt the inter-Korean detente that, since an outreach by Kim in January, has replaced last year's insults and threats of war. North Korea last month broke off a high-level meeting with Seoul over South Korea's participation in a two-week military exercise with the United States. North Korea's state media, referring to the drills, recently demanded that Washington "stop the acts of threatening its dialogue partner by force." Since the 1970s, the United States and South Korea have held a major summertime exercise called Ulchi Freedom Guardian that involves tens of thousands of troops. There are also annual springtime drills. Drills called Team Spirit, one of the largest annual military maneuvers in the world at the time, were held from 1976 until 1993, when, after North Korea agreed to dismantle its existing nuclear facilities, the exercises were canceled and have not been held since. Moon Seong Mook, a former South Korean military official, said Trump's comments on the drills confirmed what many in South Korea had feared all along — that North Korea would attempt to drive a wedge between Washington and Seoul and gain substantial concessions from an unconventional U.S. president who thinks much less of the traditional alliance than his predecessors. "The core of the U.S.-South Korea alliance is the U.S. troops stationed in South Korea and the joint U.S.-South Korea military drills, but the American military presence in South Korea wouldn't mean much if the militaries don't practice through joint drills," said Moon, now a senior analyst for the Seoul-based Korea Research Institute for National Strategy. "I am concerned that the summit between Trump and Kim will prove to be a setback in the global efforts to denuclearize North Korea and also introduce instability in the alliance between Seoul and Washington."

Brownsburg school board accepts resignation teacher wanted to rescind

David MacAnally Published: Jun 11th, 2018 - 8:50pm (EDT) Updated: Jun 12th, 2018 - 6:13am (EDT)

BROWNSBURG, Ind. (WTHR) — A Brownsburg orchestra teacher's resignation was accepted by the school board Monday. John Kluge is fighting to keep his job after he submitted what he called a provisional resignation — one he thought he could withdraw. Kluge says he's losing the job because of his religious beliefs. The school district says he resigned. After an executive session of the school board, there was a regularly scheduled public meeting Monday evening. As Kluge fought to keep his job, he had much public support. "I'm sorry, I know I sound like I'm ticked off, because I'm fed up with this stuff," said taxpayer Jeff Gracey to the school board, which had just accepted Kluge's resignation. He and others want the music teacher to stay. It was an emotional, sometimes confrontational, night at the meeting as the district struggles with issues new to many school districts. Kluge says his religious freedom rights were violated by a school policy saying teachers must call transgender students by the new names they choose. Instead, he called all of his students by their last names only all last year with school permission. "As a Christian, I believe God has created us male and female and it would be going against my Christian convictions to encourage them in transgenderism," Kluge said. But the school system said "no more." John Kluge spoke to the board after the vote accepting his "resignation." "I wanted this to be a non-issue. I wanted to be able to teach my subject matter with a clean conscience," he said Monday night. Kluge said he handed in a letter of resignation, but was told he could withdraw it. When he tried to do that he was told it had already been accepted. The school district released this statement: This teacher voluntarily submitted his resignation prior to the end of the school year. The resignation was accepted by the administration. Brownsburg Community School Corporation complies with all state and federal laws. Monday night, Kluge told the board "you've approved my resignation without me having resigned and without being able to appeal this to board." Many residents supported Kluge, many on religious freedom grounds. including some of his former orchestra students. "I am currently an education major at Ball State. I would not be there without Mr. Kluge. He is a very fair teacher," said one former student. Another former music student said Kluge, who taught at Brownsburg for four years, "loved every student, included every student and protected every student in his class." But other former students didn't like the last name policy. "I'm not here to to make Mr. Kluge upset. He is a very wonderful man. However, I believe he would be better off in a private education system as he has more religious convictions." Transgender student Aidyn Sucec told the school board, "I think Mr. Kluge's religious beliefs have absolutely no place in a public high school. I think that what he believes is morally just conflicts with not only what I believe, but my parents believe, what my psychiatrist and therapist and doctor believe, and the school board believe are morally just." Kluge's attorney said they have some legal options they're not talking about yet. But first, they want to make sure there is no chance of being rehired.

Judge orders Washington prison to provide Ramadan meals

By: GENE JOHNSON, Associated Press Updated: Jun 11, 2018 - 10:28 AM

SEATTLE - A federal judge has ordered the Washington Department of Corrections to provide nighttime meals to Muslim inmates who have been fasting during the month of Ramadan, after several said prison officials refused to do so. >> Lawsuit: Washington jail must provide addiction treatment The Council on American-Islamic Relations sued the department Sunday on behalf of four prisoners at the Washington State Reformatory in Monroe, including one who said he's lost 15 pounds (6.8 kilograms) since Ramadan began in mid-May. U.S. District Judge Ronald Leighton in Tacoma issued his order just hours later. The lawsuit said the prison's policy was to require inmates to sign up for Ramadan meals by the end of January. Some said they tried to, only to find out after Ramadan began that they weren't on the list. The department did not immediately return an email seeking comment.

Trump's Pressure on Iran Working Better Than Expected, Says Israeli Intel

Tehran had hoped for high profits from deals with Europe and U.S. companies - but now the regime faces abandonment by them - and the economic woes have started to create pressures on Tehran

The decision by U.S. President Donald Trump to pull his country out of the Iran nuclear deal has already wreaked widespread economic damage to Iranians. According to intelligence assessments presented to...

Netanyahu: If you stand with Trump on North Korea, oppose a nuclear Iran

“I think the entire world, as we do, prays for the success of this effort.”

By Tovah Lazaroff June 11, 2018 00:07

Those who support US President Donald Trump’s effort to denuclearize North Korea should stand behind his quest to halt a nuclear Iran, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday. "Dangerous regimes should denuclearize,” Netanyahu told the AJC Global Forum, whose members gathered in Jerusalem before Tuesday's meeting between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. “I think the entire world, as we do, prays for the success of this effort,” Netanyahu said. “Now, imagine, imagine: Imagine that President Trump would come back with some deal, and Britain, France and Germany would applaud it and South Korea and Japan would say that it endangers their existence,” Netanyahu said. With regard to the Iran deal, one can see that same global division between those in missile range and those who are not, Netanyahu said. “This deal was applauded by many in the international community who are not in the missile range of Iran, but Israel and Saudi Arabia and others said this deal will ultimately give Iran a nuclear arsenal,” Netanyahu said. Israel fears it will be Tehran’s first target after it becomes nuclear, Netanyahu said. “They will use [nuclear weapons] first against us, and then with the long-range missiles that they’re building and that the deal doesn’t prevent them from building, against everyone else,” Netanyahu said. Turning to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, he blamed the frozen Israeli-Palestinian peace process on the Palestinian failure to recognize Israel as a Jewish state. “The reason we don’t have peace is not because of the absence of a Palestinian state. It has been offered many, many times, and it has been rejected many, many times because it always had a condition: No Jewish state,” Netanyahu said. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Sunday criticized US "unilateralism" in withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal and said he appreciated efforts by China and Russia to maintain the agreement. "The US efforts to impose its policies on others are expanding as a threat to all," Rouhani told the summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), a regional security grouping led by China and Russia where Iran has observer status. "The recent example of such unilateralism and the defiance of the decisions of the international community by the US government is its withdrawal from the JCPOA," he said, referring to the nuclear agreement by its official name, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. Reuters contributed to this report.

Drone Killer: Chevy Trucks Now Armed With Powerful Directed Energy Weapons

by Tyler Durden Sun, 06/03/2018 - 23:30

Sierra Nevada Corp. and its defense partners, Ascent Vision and RADA Technologies, have developed a mobile counter-drone system for the protection of airports, high-value targets, and for the operational use within elite units of the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) on the modern battlefield. Last week, Sierra Nevada brought its X-MADIS (eXpeditionary Mobile Aerial Defense Integrated System) mounted on a militarized, 2018 Chevrolet Colorado pickup truck to the Special Operations Forces Industry Conference (SOFIC), which stirred up massive interest within the special operations community, said Defense News. For SOFIC, the company decided to integrate the X-MADIS into the bed of a light pickup truck. Why?… Well, on the modern battlefield, or what the Army likes to call “hybrid wars,” special forces are now using nondescript, armored light pickup trucks and Polaris dune buggies in Africa and the Middle East. It is a perfect civilian cover, as the enemy tends to have difficulties identifying the vehicle from friend or foe at long distances. The X-MADIS features a Rada RPS-42 pMHR radar detection system, the Ascent camera system CM-202U EO/IR multi-sensor gimbal for identification, and the Sierra Nevada SkyCap counter drone Mode E-jammer. The directed energy weapon has a range of about two miles and can detect, identify, and destroy enemy drone swarms while the vehicle is traveling at a high rate of speed. Sierra Nevada Corp. has been working with its partner’s Ascent Vision and the Israeli company RADA Technologies Inc. to develop the X-MADIS for the U.S. Department of Defense’s (DoD) modernization efforts to prepare for the next two decades of hybrid wars. Defense News said special forces are currently using the X-MADIS mounted on a Polaris Defense MRZR in an unknown location, most likely somewhere in Africa or Syria. Sierra Nevada Corp. selected its partners because of their “best of breed” in critical technologies that make the direct energy weapon so effective, according to Jerry Coburn, Sierra Nevada’s director of business development, who spoke to Defense News during the show. “The system can detect, identify and defeat threats through EW attack while on the move at up to 50 mph,” Coburn said. The X-MADIS weapon requires just two special force operators, one driving the vehicle and the other managing the system using a tablet from within the cab of the truck. Defense News said X-MADIS had been successfully tested on other military vehicles, including the Polaris MRZR dune buggy, a mine-resistant vehicle, and an ambush-protected vehicle. “We recognize the effectiveness of the system is only as good as our knowledge of the threats that exist out there around the globe,” Coburn said. “And currently those are largely commercial off-the-shelf. But we know that our adversaries will never rest as they continue to develop their tactics, techniques and procedures and incorporate new controller technologies.The challenge is to maintain pace with the rapidly changing drone market, Coburn added. At the SOFIC, there was much interest from non-DoD clients, such as law enforcement, border patrol, and other organizations that secure high-value infrastructure assets within the U.S. Next month, Sierra Nevada Corp. will participate in the SOFWERX ThunderDrone Rapid Prototyping event at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. SOFWERX is another special operations conference designed to help private industry and DoD organizations form relationships to test and acquire new military capabilities. As for now, it seems as Sierra Nevada Corp. is taking full advantage of President Donald Trump’s enormous military spending bill that was signed in March. The DoD and its armed forces are about to get a flood of new shiny toys to deploy in the hybrid wars around the world.

"The Day the ATMs Run Out"

by Bill Bonner Saturday, June 2, 2018

"Please remember this warning when you go to the ATM to get cash… and there is none! While we were thinking about what was really going on with today’s strange new money system, a startling thought occurred to us. Our financial system could take a surprising and catastrophic twist that almost nobody imagines, let alone anticipates. Do you remember when a lethal tsunami hit the beaches of Southeast Asia, killing thousands of people and causing billions of dollars of damage? Well, just before the 80-foot wall of water slammed into the coast an odd thing happened: The water disappeared. The tide went out farther than anyone had ever seen before. Local fishermen headed for high ground immediately. They knew what it meant. But the tourists went out onto the beach looking for shells! The same thing could happen to the money supply: Cash could evaporate suddenly and disastrously – just before we drown in it. Credit Money: Here’s how… and why: If you look at M2 money supply – which measures coins and notes in circulation as well as bank deposits and money market accountsAmerica’s money stock amounted to $14.01 trillion as of last month. But there was just $1.3 trillion of physical currency in circulation – about only half of which is in the US. (Nobody knows for sure.) What we use as money today is mostly credit. It exists as zeros and ones in electronic bank accounts. We never see it. Touch it. Feel it. Count it out. Or lose it behind seat cushions. Banks profit – handsomely – by creating this credit. And as long as banks have sufficient capital, they are happy to create as much credit as we are willing to pay for. After all, it costs the banks almost nothing to create new credit. That’s why we have so much of it. A monetary system like this has never before existed. And this one has existed only during a time when credit was undergoing an epic expansion. So our monetary system has never been thoroughly tested. How will it hold up in a deep or prolonged credit contraction? Can it survive an extended bear market in bonds or stocks? What would happen if consumer prices were out of control? Less Than Zero: Our current money system began in 1971. It survived consumer price inflation of almost 14% a year in 1980. But Paul Volcker was already on the job, raising interest rates to bring inflation under control. And it survived the “credit crunch” of 2008-09. Ben Bernanke dropped the price of credit to almost zero, by slashing short-term interest rates and buying trillions of dollars of government bonds. But the next crisis could be very different… Short-term interest rates have been close to zero in the US (and less than zero in Switzerland, Denmark and Sweden). And according to a study by McKinsey, the world’s total debt (at least as officially recorded) now stands at $237 trillion. That’s 317.8% of global GDP… and far in excess of what the real economy can support. At some point, a debt correction is inevitable. Debt expansions are always – always – followed by debt contractions. There is no other way. Debt cannot increase forever. And when it happens, ZIRP and QE will not be enough to reverse the process, because they are already running at open throttle. What then? The value of debt drops sharply and fast. Creditors look to their borrowers… traders look at their counterparties… bankers look at each other… and suddenly, no one wants to part with a penny, for fear he may never see it again. Credit stops. It’s not just that no one wants to lend, no one wants to borrow either – except for desperate people with no choice, usually those who have no hope of paying their debts. Just like we saw after the 2008 crisis, we can expect a quick response from the feds. The Fed will announce unlimited new borrowing facilities. But it won’t matter…. House prices will be crashing. (Who will lend against the value of a house?) Stock prices will be crashing. (Who will be able to borrow against his stocks?) Art, collectibles and resources – all will be in free fall. The NEXT Crisis: In the last crisis, every major bank and investment firm on Wall Street would have gone broke had the feds not intervened. Next time it may not be so easy to save them. The next crisis is likely to be across ALL asset classes. And with $94 trillion more in global debt than in 2007, it is likely to be much harder to stop. Are you with us so far? Because here is where it gets interesting... In a gold-backed monetary system prices fall. But the money is still there. Money becomes more valuable. It doesn’t disappear. It is more valuable because you can use it to buy more stuff. Naturally, people hold on to it. Of course, the velocity of money – the frequency at which each unit of currency is used to buy something – falls. And this makes it appear that the supply of money is falling too. But imagine what happens to credit money. The money doesn’t just stop circulating. It vanishes. A bank that had an “asset” (in the form of a loan to a customer) of $100,000 in June may have zilch by July. A corporation that splurged on share buybacks one week could find those shares cut in half two weeks later. A person with a $100,000 stock market portfolio one day, could find his portfolio has no value at all a few days later. All of this is standard fare for a credit crisis. The new wrinkle – a devastating one – is that people now do what they always do, but they are forced to do it in a radically different way. They stop spending. They hoard cash. But what cash do you hoard when most transactions are done on credit? Do you hoard a line of credit? Do you put your credit card in your vault? No. People will hoard the kind of cash they understand… something they can put their hands on… something that is gaining value – rapidly. They’ll want dollar bills. Also, following a well-known pattern, these paper dollars will quickly disappear. People drain cash machines. They drain credit facilities. They ask for “cash back” when they use their credit cards. They want real money – old-fashioned money that they can put in their pockets and their home safes… Dollar Panic: Let us stop here and remind readers that we’re talking about a short timeframe – days… maybe weeks… a couple of months at most. That’s all. It’s the period after the credit crisis has sucked the cash out of the system… and before the government’s inflation tsunami has hit. As Ben Penance put it, “a determined central bank can always create positive consumer price inflation.” But it takes time! And during that interval, panic will set in. A dollar panic – with people desperate to put their hands on dollars… to pay for food… for fuel…and for everything else they need. Credit may still be available. But it will be useless. No one will want it. ATMs and banks will run out of cash. Credit facilities will be drained of real cash. Banks will put up signs, first: “Cash withdrawals limited to $500.” And then: “No Cash Withdrawals.” You will have a credit card with a $10,000 line of credit. You have $5,000 in your debit account. But all financial institutions are staggering. And in the news you will read that your bank has defaulted and been placed in receivership. What would you rather have? Your $10,000 line of credit or a stack of $50 bills? You will go to buy gasoline. You will take out your credit card to pay. “Cash Only,” the sign will say. Because the machinery of the credit economy will be breaking down. The gas station… its suppliers… and its financiers do not want to get stuck with a “credit” from your bankrupt lender! Whose lines of credit are still valuable? Whose bank is ready to fail? Who can pay his mortgage? Who will honor his credit card debt? In a crisis, those questions will be as common as “Who will win an Oscar?” is today. But no one will know the answers. Quickly, they will stop guessing… and turn to cash. Our advice: Keep some on hand. You may need it.” - http:www.thedailyreckoning.com  

What? "Oh, that could never happen here!" OK...

Human-robot hybrids could be in the pipeline as Japanese scientists have succeeded in merging muscle fibres with a robotic skeleton. Previous attempts at this have been short-lived and prone to failure. A new study took a different approach and grew the muscles from scratch, instead of taking a muscle that had grown inside an animal.

NASA Scientists Working On Mars Colonization Scheme View Reproduction On Red Planet Leading To “New Human Subspecies”

June 5, 2018 by SkyWatch Editor

The idea of a colony of humans on Mars isn’t just science fiction anymore; NASA and space agencies around the world, along with independent scientists and researchers, are working hard to determine just what it would take for humanity to take root on the Red Planet. Getting there will be an immense challenge, as will setting up structures, creating sustainable sources of food, and battling the inhospitable elements, but sex might be the biggest risk of all. In a new research paper published in Futures, an international team of scientists examines the challenges of reproduction on the Martian surface. It’s a risky proposition, but if humans succeed in conceiving, carrying, and birthing offspring on another world it might actually be the start of a new species. In a somewhat scary aside, the researchers also note that editing the genes of future Mars babies might be an easy way to increase the prospects of survival. Pushing out bad traits and optimizing a human for life on Mars could give us a big edge, but as generations pass it would also result in a new kind of human — one who is fine on Mars but could never live a normal life here on Earth… (READ MORE)

Ubiquitous SMART MegaCity Skylines

What dangers lurk for those living in SMART MegaCities....only dark shadows know?

Setting the Stage

These are the days of Revelation, where the individual is engulfed into an abyss of team identity (human and machine); mandates for human trust of AI; virtual and earned citizenship, Deep Fakes, small unit tactical operations on city streets and multi-national Joint operations coalesce to hunting invisible adversaries and humans who are labeled 'the have not's,' the few who have chose not be augmented and enhanced. Humans overwhelmingly accepted sentient AI projections as near-peers, so the trust factor comes up repeatedly between the humans who accept and embrace this technology willingly and those who remain skeptical. The Evil One works on game theory and knows how your mind works, what your proclivities are, and what courses of action you are likely to favor. Time will tell who are the novice, the journeyman, and the expert. It is a day when Carnegie Mellon University, funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), deploy flexible, squishy silicon-based hydrogel jelly-fish that bores into your brain, defeating your defensive immune system, and jellyfish hydrosol that 'parasite' that bores to your brain adheres to the brain creating a macabre symbiotic relationship. You will not even know it is there while the non-invasive electrodes monitor you every thought and action. This one technology alone accelerates transhumanism with direct brain interface. It will prove two be a two edged sword 'benefiting mankind' and making them more vulnerable. The city becomes riddled with Artificial Intelligence (AI) assistants sending secretly send commands. These secret messages are at frequencies that are embedded in an existing audio track that were undetectable to the human ear. The track could be played and the AI could be told to do any number of things, from transferring money, to adding an item to a shopping list, or opening a malicious website. The adversarial applications of this are immense and abundant. A nefarious actor could surreptitiously activate a device, mute it, and then send and receive information stored on it or even use it to unlock doors, start cars, or call other devices. Personalized Warfare will easily exploit our activated devices making us each vulnerable to not only physical dangers but virtual and invisible ones as well. But the most dangerous trend is that humanity will accept AI as possessing anthropomorphic, human-like qualities, that would definitely be a "leap forward" in more than just technology. In essence, this is a bold statement ascribing human traits 'to a perceived deity', the devil himself. Leaders and experts responsible for tasked with making us safe and lacked imagination. They turned to Futurists and science fiction Story telling to spark leaders to imagine beyond the numbers and broaden the assumptions needed to envision possible futures, especially as it concerns humans and emerging technologies. SMART MegaCity Sprawl Cities sprawl across the globe as people are forced into 'concentration' camps. Two-thirds of the population lives in the city and that is increasing exponentially. MegaCities are cities that have 10 million inhabitants. You may believe that you are living in a suburb, small town, or even rural area but due to interconnection you are every bit tethered to the MegaCity. As you know, the military has been preparing for some time to go into American cities and this is your window of opportunity to peek into the proposals that are moving forward. 'System of Systems' Framework Due to the complexity of the urban terrain the military wants to adopt an urban analytic framework tailored to address the deep operational data layers found within urban centers, their dynamic environment, and their state of connectedness. The military looks at the urban environment as a battlefield. They have been practicing operating in urban environments overseas, for some time, but not in technologically advanced cities. The military is expanding traditional Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield (IPB). IPB often is challenged in several areas: Dynamics between the components of problems within a complex system Not conducive to an interactively complex Operational Environment. Has difficulty taking variables into account. They have little instruction on how to address a complex, multidimensional environment, and have little operational advice or examples of what challenges really lay ahead. Challenges of MegaCity Living Research is beginning to indicate the likelihood of more lethal competitors within the MegaCity environment. Current mental models are stuck on non-hybrid, warrior-like opponents when we find ourselves in hybrid-age with warriors within the invisible and visible realms. Changes in military doctrine are developing knowledge experts in MegaCities where needed are who are assigned to monitor cities. Due to artificial limits upon resources mandated by the United Nations (UN) resources such as food, water, power, and refuse will become strained. As economies and regulations 'protecting' wilderness areas increase, a rapid rise in the density of urban areas will induce stressors on existing infrastructure and flow systems. Old infrastructure is failing by design to allow new infrastructure to be built around a global web of interconnectedness. Sea of Connectedness Humans, data, and infrastructure is a 'sea of mass' that must be harnessed for the global system to move ahead. And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. Revelation 13:1 Connecting devices is only a small part of a SMART grid. IoT tiny part of what you will be seeing in the near future with technological structure and landscape. Demarcation Zones We have all become desensitized by demarcation zones popularized by the UN. In history sovereign nations and cities that formerly had clear boundaries. This has created an environment where we are being swallowed up alive by the Mega SMART City, every bit as much as Korach in his rebellion against God was swallowed up by the earth. These SMART Mega Cities will blur the lines of where they begin and end, so you never know if you are in the city or outside of it. As this agenda advances, boundaries will be absent and this will prove to be problematic for both citizenry and the military tasked with keeping order. As the UN is integrating all population areas into one easily monitored bio system it poses world-wide complications for certain operations, for instance disasters, which can have either a rolling reverberating impingement, or the standard domino effect where the resources in one urban center causes a cascade effect upon the resources of other cities spanning around the world. Weaponry in Hiding Urban warfare will be primary invisible where you are unable to see 'it' but 'it' can see you. Due to the deep shadows of cities the primary colors for urban camo are black, white, and various shades of gray. After September 11, 2001 there was a feeding frenzy of money given by the government for security. The cities with the most creative and intriguing grants received the monies. You would truly be horrified if you knew just how many blink it towns are integrated with armored vehicles, state-of-the-art Emergency Operation (EOC) centers, and are ready for a first-strike nuclear attack. With every federal dollar your city and local governments signed SF 424 A & B which obligates them to implement vast Federal Acts and the SMART system. MegaCities are more susceptible to natural and manmade disasters especially when in they are perfectly situated near large bodies of water. Extreme water events such as floods can rapidly overwhelm the infrastructures causing life threatening situations in areas of increased urbanization. Urban flooding was one of the first threats that I experienced in Emergency Management. One particular vivid recollection I has is when 13 straight storms hit San Diego. Everything was closed down, even the military. What was not told to the people was cracks had developed in dams upstream from San Diego. Experts knew when the dam when millions would be killed as the water surged down Mission Valley. Quietly, persons in the 'know' relocated to high ground. These situations can develop speedily creating hellish situations. Urban flooding is not the only danger, earthquakes, tsunami's, wind storms, winter storms, mass demonstrations (language alert) or mobs; cyber attacks all have the potential for lethal consequences. The MegaCities even creates their own perfect storm of destruction. The larger or more connected a city is the more vulnerable it will become. Vertical & Subterranean Landscape Vertical and subterranean environments can complicate any military or private sector operation significantly, such as when Seattle's Big Bertha Borer met a mystery obstacle. It cost Seattle taxpayers millions of additional dollars and years to fix all of the problems. While the public was being told that the subterranean tunnel was traffic there other reasons it was built. We are all familiar with towering skyscrapers reaching upward but most of you are unaware of the hive-like labyrinth that is being created right under our feet. Existing 'old cities,' caverns, and created subterranean cities are connected through underground network systems. Subterranean design is the wave of the future. Since ancient times, cities were often built and went defunct, and were rebuilt upon the old foundations. In the ancient world these were called 'tells', layer upon layers of cities. Tunnel systems were very common in archaic city architecture. Disease in the SMART MegaCity It is no secret that MegaCities are a Petri dish for every type of global disease. Due to high density citizens and animals come face to face with reservoirs of diseases that their immune systems have no idea how to fight off. Some diseases are natural, many are weaponized, and they can be transmitted by air, land, contact, fluids, and by vectors. Since 1741 colonial America has had a notifible disease reporting system which was eventually non-nonchalantly transferred to the UN. On May 22, 1869 the State of Massachusetts asserted through legislative action that, "all governments since the time of Moses (Leviticus chapters 11-16) are established to protect the life and health of their people," resulting in the first health department. When you see the words, "life, health and welfare" in any government document, they are a key to suspending Constitutional rights and liberties and preventing the right to petition redress of grievances, and unlimited surveillance. This particular wording is called the emergency clause and it has been inserted into everything from public roads to parks. In a global dominated governance system sovereign Constitutions mean nothing. People not must be concerned about infections themselves, but also mountains of regulations that have been put in place to deal with imminent pandemics and epidemics. We are experiencing a massive upheaval in the way medical data: Defined, stored, captured, visualized, and shared is needed for more easily transportable semi-autonomous and autonomous Tactical Combat Casualty Care capabilities to support future missions. This will require a paradigm shift in the practice of operational medicine from an “art” that employs subjective measures to assess and treat, to a “science” based on employing objective quantifiable measures. TRADOC Go with the Flow We do not often consider that our lives flow through time and space. Whether work, relationships, waterways, projects, vehicular traffic, cash they all flow. Once digitized, everything must be accounted precisely. You can not imagine, unless you have experienced it, the dynamics of a mob mentality. In 1994, I attended the World Cup Finals in Pasadena, California. After the preliminary games Brazilian citizens assembled. That crowd was energized with emotion, transcended civilized behavior, and moved with a fluid-like flow, as if the was hive following a Queen Bee. As I viewed the crowd it became obvious that the individual was lost in what Scripture calls a sea of people. That group was volatile, dangerous, with a religious fervor because "God was with them". Greater emphasis must be placed on strategically supporting, manipulating, and/or undermining the flows, infrastructure, and systems of the megacity, as opposed to current emphasis on kinetic, military tasks. TRADOC Cyber Battle The Private Sector, government, and the military are changing their attitude towards cyberwarfare and innovate new ideas and concepts for warfare. This is especially critical in cities with high densities of smart technology where the Internet of Everything (IoE) is proving to be a wealth of intelligence information and revenue streams. SMART MegaCity Predator: Speed & Agility Seattle seems to be a lighting rod for exotic weaponry and its usage. From the Seattle WTO riots of 1999 taking rioters to the Sandpoint Naval Station which was converted to a prison; to the Samari welding man during real government exercises; to people who are well prepared for whatever may happen; to cyber hackers on both sides, in a technological cat and mouse game. Continually evolving infrastructures, subculture populations, and a plethora of places to “hide in plain sight” will present a particular challenge to those gathering data, today and well into the future. Disasters in the MegaCity We are going to witness an exponential thrust towards speed, agility, and adaptation for all projects. Large, long-term development sustainable projects have been relegated to a by-gone era. programs. Smaller, faster, and more flexible systems are needed to supersede existing weapons and other systems including remote software updates and deployment of upgrades to our toolkits in as little as days or hours. We have barely touched the surface of how the SMART MegaCity will impact your life. Real-time or near real-time truth data is going to be critical to make wise decisions for all aspects of your life. The best place is to receive your data from the Holy Scripture which is infallible and is immune from DeepFakes which deceive. Lessons of Faith, Highways, and Tunnels When we receive bitter news it is always insightful to plumb the depths of our faith for something applicable. Ray Vandelaan teaches us about the importance of the highway (today we face the information highway) that intersects great empires and the tell at Har Megiddo, the scene of Armageddon, the symbol of the battle for the End of the World. That battle is about good versus evil. The final battle at Har Megiddo is ultimately for the control of the world. In the end God wins. Where are you in skirmishes you encounter each day?

Forget Agenda 21: UN’s 2030 Agenda will ‘transform the world’

Germany has stepped forward with their ideas of how to speed up the arrival of a one-world government

By Daisy Luther - September 28, 2016 @11:21 am, Wed

If you think Agenda 21 was bad, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Wait until you learn what the creepily utopian 2030 Agenda has in store for us all. Once again Germany has stepped forward with their ideas of how to speed up the arrival of a one-world government. While all eyes were on Obama and his creepily NWO speech, the German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier gave an address which went largely un-noticed. It was a lengthy speech – you can read his entire address here – but these are some takeaway points: “We could also choose to put our faith in the power of diplomacy or shrug our shoulders” in the face of the conflicts in Syria, Libya, Iraq and Yemen he said, noting that Europe also faces a choice of fighting to hold the region together or allowing it to fall apart again and be overrun by populists. “The United States is also faced with a choice; in six weeks’ time, here too, the choice is about the supposed withdrawal from a crisis-ridden world – which some are calling for – or cooperation with international partners to solve some of those problems, he continues, noting that this choice “is important for all of us.” Indeed, “withdrawal, resignation, going it alone, or, responsibility for a better future; that is the choice in many places,” he said. The United Nations would remain the central forum, for tackling these issues, he said. In the context of all the crisis meetings, “it gives me hope that we have made an important choice, the right choice, of the direction we want to take and that we have chosen unity and sustainability,” he said calling the 2030 Agenda a global pact that is the point of convergence for dealing with poverty and underdevelopment. Now we know when they want the takeover to be complete: 2030. We have all heard of Agenda 21, but the 2030 Agenda isn’t quite so familiar. Agenda 2030 emphasizes gender and racial equality, eradication of poverty, and the total abolition of violence and hate. It lays out that the future world is based entirely on these goals and that the only way to achieve these things is through sustainable development and control of climate change. Oh – and the planet will also be totally poverty free by 2030 as well. Here are a few of the pertinent points: It actually came into effect in January 2016. Its full title is ‘Transforming Our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The areas covered by the Agenda are people, planet, prosperity, peace, and partnership. The 17 goals and 169 targets of the Agenda seek to build on the Millennium Development Goals and complete those that were not achieved. The ‘Declaration’ agreed upon at the United Nations meeting in New York has 53 points. Point 2 sets the tone: ‘On behalf of the peoples we serve, we have adopted a historic decision on a comprehensive, far-reaching and people-centred set of universal and transformative goals and targets. We commit ourselves to working tirelessly for the full implementation of this Agenda by 2030’. Points 5, 18, 28, and particularly point 29 are particularly interesting. Now, in theory, it’s wonderful – rainbows and unicorns for everyone. It’s repetitive in the extreme, constantly pointing out the sanctity of sovereign nations and saying these issues apply TO EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON THE PLANET… Simple: it is entirely impossible to achieve what they have laid out without a one-world government, the New World Order we have heard so much about over the last few years. This is what they are stating WILL be achieved by 2030 with all countries somehow miraculously retaining their own culture, resources, and economies:

Total eradication of hunger across the planet.

Total eradication of race inequality across the planet.

Total eradication of poverty across the planet.

Total eradication of gender inequality across the planet.

Total eradication of war across the planet.

Total eradication of Malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases across the planet.

Total eradication of TB across the planet.

A set standard of education for every child on the planet.

Clean water and sanitation for every person on the planet.

A decent job for every worker on the planet.

Sustainable economic growth in every country on the planet.

Sustainable agriculture across the planet.

sustainable livestock production across the planet.

A reduction in natural resource use in every country on the planet.

A reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in every industrialized nation on the planet.

A reduction in flood and drought events is susceptible locations around the world.

There are other odds and ends they have thrown in but the bottom line is that all of these things will be done by the year 2030. Really? Honestly? There are barely a half dozen countries on the planet that can engage in conversation without some disagreement and they honestly expect us to believe that there will be enough international co-operation while retaining nation sovereignty, to achieve even one goal on that list? The Islamic State will be our friends? India will give water to Pakistan? North and South Korea will kiss and make-up? Iran will stop making nuclear bombs? Israel and Palestine will finally shake hands and sort out their differences? Right.. Achieving ANY of the goals on that list is impossible unless one single government calls the shots and enforces conditions whereby the goals become achievable. That means the removal of sovereign status for individual nations. It means one giant money pot made up of cash from every nation that has cash to finance these initiatives. Globalism just took on a whole new meaning. Via Daisy Luther

With The UK Having Fallen To Islamic Tyranny, It's No Surprise That All Russia-Gate Roads Lead Back To Barack Obama And Openly Totalitarian London

- The MSM's Lies About President Trump Are Now Backfiring In Their Own Faces!

By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die June 4, 2018

While Susan Duclos reported on ANP on Sunday that the 'deep state' is fracturing and their 'propaganda arm', the mainstream media, has launched an all-out war upon the truth with the Inspector General report release expected to lay bare the crimes and the criminals within the deep state, a perfect example of the mainstream media's all-out lies and their war upon the truth comes to us in this recent story from Yahoo News via Reuters. In this story clearly titled to further enrage and dumb down those in America who only read headlines with a title of "America's Poor Becoming More Destitute Under Trump: U.N. Expert", 95% of Americans won't even make it down to the 9th paragraph where they dropped this bombshell that totally negated the title of their story.: However, the data from the U.S. Census Bureau he (so-called UN 'expert' Philip Alston) cited covers only the period through 2016, and he gave no comparative figures for before and after Trump came into office in January 2017. An absolutely perfect example of how the mainstream media manipulates story headlines to anger the American people towards our first America-first president in decades, why would Yahoo and Reuters title their story as such when no post-Obama data was even cited? Clearly an attempt to further piss-off those who dislike President Trump anyways and who buy the lines being fed to them by the 'deep state's' mockingbird media hook, line and sinker, as Susan Duclos reported within her story, the independent media must now be 'weaponized' against the corrupt deep state and their 'mockingbird media' with the most deadly weapon known to lies, the truth. And while globalist comedian Bill Maher recently had a melt down on air claiming that Alex Jones and so-called 'conspiracy theories' run America as heard in the final video at the bottom of this story, just imagine the shock that will come from 50% or more of the country when they find out some of those 'conspiracy theories' have been the truth all along! And while we won't be holding our breaths waiting for the heads of Hillary Clinton, James Comey, John Brennan and the corrupted deep state to finally roll (and WELL past time!), if those who've committed treason against America while selling out our nation to get Hillary Clinton into office are NOT held accountable for their crimes, there is no 'America' left. As this June 3rd story over at Zero Hedge reports, the deep state's spying upon President Trump and his campaign began much earlier than was originally thought with new texts directly implicating Barack Obama's White House according to this new story from John Solomon over at The Hill. And the bombshells don't end there. According to Solomon's story, all roads in this spying scandal lead directly back to London. Yes, the same 'London' which has now fallen to Islamic tyranny. Starting to see the 'real' picture? With the entire 'Russian narrative' peddled by the 'deep state' clearly an attempted coup upon the legally elected government of the United States, we shouldn't be the least bit surprised that so many on the left have fallen to an entire new level of crazy as Susan Duclos reported in this recent ANP story. Much more below but first, from the Zero Hedge story: A new report from John Solomon of The Hill ties together several loose threads floating around over the genesis of the FBI/DOJ espionage operation against the Trump campaign, who was involved in the "setup" of campaign aides, and how text messages between FBI employees suggest that the Obama White House was not only aware of the operation - but possibly directing it. Not only is the timeline moved up from the summer of 2016 to spring, Solomon provides clarification on early contacts between the players involved in DOJ/FBI sting and Trump campaign aides. The bridge to the Russia investigation wasn’t erected in Moscow during the summer of the 2016 election. It originated earlier, 1,700 miles away in London, where foreign figures contacted Trump campaign advisers and provided the FBI with hearsay allegations of Trump-Russia collusion, bureau documents and interviews of government insiders reveal. These contacts in spring 2016 — some from trusted intelligence sources, others from Hillary Clinton supporters — occurred well before FBI headquarters authorized an official counterintelligence investigation on July 31, 2016. The new timeline makes one wonder: Did the FBI follow its rules governing informants? -The Hill “The revelation of purposeful contact initiated by alleged confidential human sources prior to any FBI investigation is troublesome,” Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), an ally of President Trump and chairman of a House subcommittee that’s taking an increasingly aggressive oversight role in the scandal, told me. “This new information begs the questions: Who were the informants working for, who were they reporting to and why has the [Department of Justice] and FBI gone to such great lengths to hide these contacts?” So why have the DOJ and FBI gone to great lengths to hide the truth? Wasn't it Barack Obama himself who once said "If you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear"? What justice it will be for the corrupt faction of the deep state to be taken down by the very same spying machine that they've created to forever lord over the American people! And while the corrupt mainstream media will continue to attempt to spin this entire story in Hillary Clinton's favor no matter how much they lie and no matter who they dox, with the IG Report about to come out in days, we'd previously warned on ANP that a huge false flag warning should be in effect as long as 'the corrupt' are still in positions of power to pull levers and 'manufacture' events. As this new story over at Zero Hedge that Steve Quayle linked to on his website this morning reports, a modern civil war has already broken out here in America between a conservative, volunteer government and a Democratic, professional govt and while we're grateful that this 'civil war' which they warned of hasn't yet turned to guns, as their story points out: If the late Mr. Minzey is correct, it is only a matter of time before current conditions turn violent or parts of the country attempt to secede. The divisions are so pronounced that it is difficult to see how they are solved within the current political framework and consistent with our Constitution. With all Russia-gate roads leading back to London and the work of those in London and the corrupt faction of the deep state here in America clearly being pushed in a pro-Hillary Clinton, pro-globalist effort, should President Trump fail in what appears to be a very real effort to take down the corrupt, America will surely follow the UK into full-scale globalist tyranny. And with the criminal deep state here in America leading to a long list of dead bodies and massive coverups as William B. Stoecker reported in this May 29th ANP story, as we reported on ANP on May 30th, any attempt at a final 'takedown' of America carried out by globalists seeking to cement tyranny into place could quickly lead to an Orwellian nightmare. With the msm having proven that they'll do anything to protect the corrupt faction of the deep state and the 'Clinton crime family', we hope that everybody has their eyes and ears wide open in the days ahead with the Inspector General Report soon to be released and many signs that this report will find that the FBI and DOJ fully acted with criminal intent. In the 2nd video below, videographer Tracy Beanz goes over the OIG report rebuttals , focusing on the case of Andrew McCabe, while in the first video below from Realist News, our videographer goes over the recent Zero Hedge story which proves that 'Russia-gate' leads right back to Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and now openly tyrannical London.

Department Of Homeland Security Compiles List Of All Bloggers, Journalists, & "Social Media Influencers"

by Tyler Durden Mon, 06/04/2018 - 16:26 Authored by Michael Snyder via The American Dream blog,

Many were hoping that once Barack Obama was out of office we would see less of this Big Brother surveillance nonsense, but instead it seems to be getting even worse. In fact, the Department of Homeland Security has just announced that it intends to compile a comprehensive list of hundreds of thousands of “journalists, editors, correspondents, social media influencers, bloggers etc.”, and collect any “information that could be relevant” about them. So if you have a website, an important blog or you are just very active on social media, the Department of Homeland Security is going to put you on a list and will start collecting information about you. The DHS has already announced that it will hire a contractor to aid in monitoring media coverage, and they will definitely need plenty of help because it is going to be a very big job… As part of its “media monitoring,” the DHS seeks to track more than 290,000 global news sources as well as social media in over 100 languages, including Arabic, Chinese and Russian, for instant translation into English. The successful contracting company will have “24/7 access to a password protected, media influencer database, including journalists, editors, correspondents, social media influencers, bloggers etc.” in order to “identify any and all media coverage related to the Department of Homeland Security or a particular event.” “Any and all media coverage,” as you might imagine, is quite broad and includes “online, print, broadcast, cable, radio, trade and industry publications, local sources, national/international outlets, traditional news sources, and social media.” If this sounds extremely creepy to you, that is because it is extremely creepy. I run several prominent websites including The Most Important News and The Economic Collapse Blog, and so without a doubt I will be on this list. And if I was just a name on a list in some database somewhere, that would be bad enough, but instead it sounds like the DHS will be collecting any “information that could be relevant” about all of us… As Gizmodo noted, the DHS’ vagueness is also a concern. It leaves itself an opening for collecting “any other information that could be relevant” about these influencers, and there’s no hint as to what that could be. Is it strictly functional information like work histories, or sensitive data that could be abused? Either way, the database could be troublesome for bloggers and social media stars who aren’t usually under such close government scrutiny. This is one of the reasons why I wanted to get to Washington. This kind of Orwellian monitoring of our freedoms is unnecessary, it is a colossal waste of taxpayer dollars, and it violates our most basic freedoms. So why does the Department of Homeland Security need to do this? The explanation that they are giving the public is extremely week. The following comes from Forbes… DHS says the “NPPD/OUS [National Protection and Programs Directorate/Office of the Under Secretary] has a critical need to incorporate these functions into their programs in order to better reach Federal, state, local, tribal and private partners.” Who knows what that means, but the document also states the NPPD’s mission is “to protect and enhance the resilience of the nation’s physical and cyberinfrastructure.” But we are not supposed to ask questions about government programs such as this. In fact, just a few days ago a Department of Homeland Security representative stated that those that are questioning this program are “tinfoil hat wearing, black helicopter conspiracy theorists“… If you find yourself skeptical of this proposal of mass state monitoring of the press, consider yourself a bonafide member of the “tinfoil hat wearing, black helicopter conspiracy theorists,” DHS representative Tyler Houlton said Friday. It’s all very routine, he argued, casting the project as an innocent means of “monitoring current events.” Just shut up and let us do this, crackpots. That kind of response should make all of us very angry. If the government is going to monitor us and put our information in a database, we should have the right to ask questions. Freedom of speech is one of our most foundational rights, and many are concerned that “monitoring and tracking” are initial steps that could lead to a significant crackdown on Internet activity. Just check out what is about to happen over in Europe. The Internet has made it possible for ordinary people to communicate with one another on a massive scale, and any efforts by national governments to interfere with that must be greatly resisted. Unfortunately, it appears that this new Department of Homeland Security program is moving ahead rapidly. In fact, it is being reported that seven different companies have “already expressed interest” in participating… Seven companies, mainly minority- or women-owned small businesses, have already expressed interest in becoming a vendor for the contract, according to the FedBizOpps web site. All it takes for evil to flourish is for good men to be nothing. Please spread word about this creepy new surveillance program to everyone that you know, because what they are doing is not right.

'Silent Weapon' Technology Is Being Placed Into Neighborhoods All Across America As Countdown Begins To Potential National Health Crisis Of Epic Proportions

- Is This More Proof The Luciferian Globalists Are Preparing For Unfolding Global Chaos?

By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die June 3, 2018

While big telecom companies such as Verizon and the UK's Vodaphone continue to rave about the benefits that 5G will bring to the world and the quickly growing 'internet of things', scientific studies have confirmed the warnings of the 'Watchmen' as we hear in the 2nd video below from RT that 5G can be linked to cancer as CBS New York reports in this recent story, though they attempt to downplay the dangers. Warning within the CBS story that wireless companies across America have said they’ll have to build close to 300,000 new antennas, roughly equal to the total number of cell towers built over the past three decades, that stark new reality means that many smaller antennas are being built much closer together to each other, and closer to people's homes and businesses. It so happens that 5G uses frequency waves much faster than 4G or 3G but those waves don't travel anywhere near as far and as their story reports, rather than building huge new cell towers in residential areas, they'll be using existing infrastructure such as street signs and light poles, objects that are much closer to where people gather. And while those who haven't been doing their research don't understand the dangers that 5G will bring, as we read in this recent story from Dane Wigington and hear from him in the 1st video below: Our government continues to do anything they want to the climate, and the planet as a whole. The push to saturate the biosphere with highly destructive 5G transmissions is the most recent alarming example. 5G frequencies are also used for crowd control. Is the power structure preparing for what they certainly know is inevitable? Unfolding global chaos? As Health Impact News reported back in August of 2017, besides 5G leading to a mass increase of microwave radiation in our atmosphere and the fact that it can be used to further invade privacy, this tech being unveiled has led to a countdown to a national crisis of illness and death with it potentially being able to be used as a 'silent weapon' against the American people. From their story: This article will focus on the question of how this technology could be used as a silent weapon against people who don’t conform to the plans of the U.S. Government. The public position will be that these technologies, if developed into weapons, will be used against terrorists and those who pose a threat to national security. However, because these are “stealth” technologies where the person being targeted would not even know they were being targeted, they could potentially also be used against people who object to mandatory vaccination, medical kidnapping, the nationalization of our private health data, the use of toxic chemicals in food, mandatory indoctrination of children in the public education system, mainstream media brainwashing, the collection of information about our religious and political beliefs, the denial of the right to assemble in peaceful protests against the overreaching power of national and state government, to name just a few. Their story then featured the final video that we've embedded at the bottom of this story showing a 2009 test of a vehicle-mounted active denial system being used against people pretending to be protestors in a 'crowd control' demonstration. As their story points out, the millimeter waves used in 5G are the same waves used in active denial crowd control systems as well as in some body scanners at airports. Once again, from the Health Impact News story: Confirmed information about the military’s Active Denial System proves that microwaves can be directed toward a specific target. We also know that the 5G wireless technology system that Telecom companies want to install across America has the ability to steer microwave beams toward objects. In fact, this is one of the key features of the 5G system. This allows each 5G cell tower to direct multiple beams of millimeter microwaves to a cell phone, an iPad, tablet PC, automobile, or any other device that will provide a GPS location. Putting the Facts Together – Potential Outcomes of 5G Technology Now, this is where it gets very interesting. What would happen if the density of 5G cell tower transmissions could be jacked up to a much higher density level? Could 5G technology become a directed energy weapon? Instead of sending a beam of low density microwave radiation toward you and your cell phone or toward you and the GPS system that is built into many automobiles, could the system be adjusted to send a much more powerful beam of high density microwaves toward you or a crowd of people such as is done with the U.S. military’s Active Denial System? As far as I can tell, it is unlikely that 5G antennas could produce the microwave density of the military’s ADS weapon without burning themselves up, because of their small size and physical design. However, all electromagnetic radiation produces an effect on the human body. What impact will the slightly longer microwaves from 5G have on us when they penetrate more deeply into the body than the 95 GHz of the military’s Active Denial System? Is the rollout of 5G across America part of government preparation for the globalists final takedown of America and the resulting chaos sure to be unleashed should the satanists finally initiate their 'end game' for our free country? With what amounts to crowd control technology being placed upon street lights across America, directly in residential areas and office parks, certainly the potential of this tech being abused should tyrants get their hands upon it is great. And as we read in this recent story from Natural News, scientists have warned that 5G tech is already causing insomnia, nosebleeds and stillbirths and this tech is just now being rolled out. What more negative health effects will it lead to? From that story: Though the science on EMF radiation is still far from established, many researchers believe that it does indeed have the potential to cause harm. EMF radiation is the same kind of radiation produced by cell phones, though it can be emitted from other devices — including LED streetlights, according to Professor Ulrich Warnke, from the University of Saarland. Warnke believes that EMF radiation “causes disruption to the body’s nitrogen monoxide system, which keeps cells healthy and controls gene expression,” but he’s not the only one. Multiple health agencies have sounded the alarm on the potential dangers of this kind of radiation — but few are listening. Back in 2011, the World Health Organization (WHO) warned that EMF radiation was “possibly carcinogenic to humans,” and in particular, posed a risk for glioma — a malignant type of brain cancer. At the end of 2017, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) issued a similar warning regarding cellphones and their potential link to brain cancer. The European Academy for Environmental Medicine has also declared that EMF radiation is linked to cancer and other conditions like insomnia. The evidence against EMF radiation is piling up — and yet, city officials are refusing to recognize that people are at risk. And while 5G is being rolled out across America despite the fact that medical experts warn not enough studies have been done into the potential negative health impact that will be delivered along with the faster speeds, as Washington's Blog reported back in March of 2017, the entire point of the 'internet of things' (IOT) is for 'big brother' to have new ways to spy upon us. Warning us of numerous different comments recently made by 'deep state insiders' such as James Clapper, it's quite obvious that the 'IOT' isn't what it's being sold to the public to be. From the Washington's Blog story: No One Wants the Internet of Things …… Except Big Brother. The government is already spying on us through spying on us through our computers, phones, cars, buses, streetlights, at airports and on the street, via mobile scanners and drones, through our credit cards and smart meters (see this), television, doll, and in many other ways. The CIA wants to spy on you through your dishwasher and other “smart” appliances. Last year, (THEN) U.S. Intelligence Boss James Clapper said that the government will spy on Americans through IoT: In the future, intelligence services might use the [IoT] for identification, surveillance, monitoring, location tracking, and targeting for recruitment, or to gain access to networks or user credentials. Yves Smith commented at the time: Oh, come on. The whole point of the IoT is spying. The officialdom is just trying to persuade you that it really is a big consumer benefit to be able to tell your oven to start heating up before you get home. With America potentially facing a national health crisis of epic proportions following the rollout of 5G, the negative health hazards of cell phone radiation alone detailed in this story from Electric Sense and seen in the graphic above suggest that the American people are once again being used as unwilling guinea pigs in a govt science project with illness and death one of their desired outcomes. As we hear from Wigington in the 1st video starting at the 6 minute 25 second mark as is also reported in this February story from Edgy Labs, if we think that we'll be able to escape the dangers of 5G by living out in the mountains or far away from the city, we're wrong. Reporting that Elon Musk's company Space X has been given the approval to launch 4,000 satellites into orbit over the next 5 years, we'll soon be getting 5G from space and as Wigington tells us, 5G from space will eventually cover every square inch of our planet once the project is complete. Silent weapon technology everywhere and the globalists 'beast system' that much closer to completion. In the 3rd video below, videographer The Fullerton Informer goes over the many dangers of 5G that we already know about and the ongoing lies of the mainstream media in their attempts to cover up the globalists luciferian agenda.

British School Forces Boys To Wear "Gender-Neutral" Skirts Instead Of Shorts

by Tyler Durden Mon, 06/04/2018 - 19:40

A private secondary school in Oxfordshire, England is banning its male students from wearing shorts during the summer months, and is instead requesting that they wear a more "gender neutral" ensemble that includes that staple of men's athletic wear: The skirt. According to the Daily Mail, Chiltern Edge Secondary School's rule change comes after an unfavorable ruling by a government agency tasked with overseeing educational standards. School leaders said the skirts were a "more formal" alternative to shorts, regardless of how uncomfortable they might make male students at the school. Unsurprisingly, parents are complaining about the bizarre school dress code, which is part of a larger trend of schools adopting "gender neutral" uniforms to make transgender students feel more at home. Of course, parents of straight students can rest assured that their children will also feel comfortable: Because if they don't want to wear the "gender neutral" skirt ensembles, they can simply wear blazers and trousers in the sweltering heat. Following the change, parent Alastair Vince-Porteous asked staff if his son could wear tailored shorts – but the school said that they were not part of the uniform. The bemused father was then told that the uniform policy was ‘gender-neutral’ and boys could of course wear a skirt if they wished. The move follows a trend for schools adopting gender-neutral policies to help transgender pupils feel more welcome. Many schools now say skirts and trousers can be worn by either gender. Under the Equality Act, schools have a duty to protect transgender students from discrimination. This case came to light at the weekend, as temperatures are set to soar to 26C (79F) next week. Mr Vince-Porteous said: 'I was told shorts are not part of the uniform. It’s a shame we can’t be more grown up about it, we aren’t asking for ra-ra skirts or skinny jeans, just grey tailored shorts for two months a year, it’s not a big deal. 'I know that in the past other schools have worn skirts so I asked if my son was able to do that – and the school said yes.' Fellow parent Joanne Muday said: ‘It’s nuts to make the kids wear blazers and ties when it gets very hot.’ The school introduced the new uniform policy after Ofsted, a government organization charged with maintaining educational standards, determined that Chiltern's uniform policy was "inadequate". The introduction of the new uniform policy came after the school was branded inadequate by Ofsted. In August the school – which has the capacity for 900 pupils, but as of January last year had only 507 – will join the Maiden Erlegh Trust and become an academy. Students hail from nearby areas such as Caversham, Reading and Theresa May’s Maidenhead constituency. Headteacher Moira Green said: ‘In September 2017, with the support of parents, Chiltern Edge made the decision to move to a more formal uniform. This has been a success. Maiden Erlegh Trust, in preparation for September 2018, wholeheartedly support Chiltern Edge’s adoption of a more formal uniform.' Of course, we'd like to applaud Ofsted for its commitment to rigorous educational standards for athletes. Because Chiltern's students are learning one of the most valuable lessons of all: That it's okay for boys to wear skirts.

Liberals Who Normalized Incest & Pedophilia Now Have A Candidate, But He Is Also Their Worst Nightmare- 'Man Should Be Allowed To Choke His Wife To Death As Punishment'

By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine June 4, 2018

He believes pedophilia should be legal. He believes that incestuous relationships with minor children should be legal. He believes child pornography should be legal. He believes marital rape should be legal. He believes the 19th amendment (giving women the right to vote) should be repealed. He believes Hitler was a hero. He believes that a man should be allowed to "choke his wife to death" for cutting her hair without permission or other acts of "gross insubordination." (Those are just the tip of the iceberg.) His name is Nathan Larson and by June 12, 2018, he will be an official congressional candidate in Virginia. LIBERALS HAVE BEEN TRYING TO NORMALIZE PEDOPHILIA FOR YEARS, ALSO INCEST In 2013, the UK's Guardian claimed that "not even a full academic consensus on whether consensual pedophilic relations necessarily cause harm." In 2014, a liberal writer at the New York Times wrote a piece titled "Pedophilia: A Disorder, Not a Crime." In 2015, the liberal website Salon published a piece, which was later removed, titled "I’m a pedophile, but not a monster." In 2016, VICE encouraged sympathy for pedophiles in a piece titled "Realizing You're a Pedophile Can Make You Want to Kill Yourself." It is not only pedophilia they are attempting to normalize, but as shown in a Telegraph article, they also claim that incest is just a "Genetic Sexual Attraction," in a story titled "Disgusted by incest? Genetic Sexual Attraction is real and on the rise." Cosmo also pushed a sympathetic view of incest in 2015 in a piece titled "This Is What It's Like to Fall in Love With Your Brother." Readers will note there are no links to those stories above.....anyone that wants to read them can use a search engine. The attempts by the left to normalize and decriminalize pedophilia and incest have lasting and ongoing effects, claiming people should have "open minds" on topics that were once considered taboo to even be spoken about, unless it was in court as these monsters were being prosecuted for abusing children. Well now they have a congressional candidate, running as an independent that feels voters have "open minds" so it is fine and dandy to publicly run on a platform that includes legalizing pedophilia and incest. THE MONSTER THEY HELPED CREATE IS NOW A NIGHTMARE While I continue to see headlines only referencing Larson's perversions, or that he was jailed for threatening to kill Barack Obama, his other platform issues, as well as some of the things he has written publicly, found on a now defunct website by Huffpo, shows the monster that they helped create has other disturbing and vile beliefs. Until it was pulled down, Larson’s site Nathania.org, a wiki page with details about his latest candidacy, featured posts titled “A Man Should Be Allowed to Choke His Wife to Death as Punishment for Cutting Her Hair Short Without Permission, or Other Acts of Gross Insubordination,” “Advantages of Father-Daughter Incest” and “The Justifiability of an Incel’s Kidnapping a Girl and Keeping Her as His Rape-Slave for Sex and Babymaking.” Wiki pages can be edited by other people, but Larson confirmed he wrote these posts as well as several other disturbing entries. In “Let’s Define What Rape Is,” a 3,000-word essay posted on Nathania.org as well as other incel sites, Larson wrote: “Women are objects, to be taken care of by men like any other property, and for powerful men to insert themselves into as it pleases them, and as they believe will be in women’s own interests. In most cases, their interests are aligned, as long as the man is strong. Female sex-slaves actually get a much better deal than animals, because in most cases, they are allowed to reproduce, unlike animals raised for meat or companionship.” When asked what his constituents would think about his pedophiliac writings, he said, “People are open-minded.” Larson also confirmed for Huffpo that he wrote the following on a message board, using the name Lysander: "I just want to bang my daughter, actually, but even if it were legal, I’m not sure it would happen, since i don’t have custody. After sex with kids is legalized, parents (or other guardians) will still be gatekeepers to some extent, and a lot of them will want to bang their own kids and not share with others." If that is all not disturbing enough, a look at an archived version of his website www.nathanlarson.org, which is no longer active, we see he articulated even more abhorrent views in what was labeled his "campaign manifesto." Calling himself a "quasi-neoreactionary libertarian," he listed a 12-point agenda. When delving into the individual points, specifically the one titled "Patriarchy," we see he supports "subordinating women as sex slaves and baby factories for their husbands," and that girls should be getting married "no later than their early teens." He also describes single women as "unowned or abandoned property, since their fathers have left them to be taken by the first comer." While urging the repeal of the repeal of the Violence Against Women Act, he states "[citizens] need to switch to a system that classifies women as property, initially of their fathers and later of their husbands." He also believes that any state funding that pays for girls and women to attend high school and college. should be abolished. Normally we would not link to a campaign manifesto as repugnant as Larson's but since it is no longer a running website, we feel it is important for Virginia voters to understand who it is that is running by seeing his own words, assertions and "heroes," such as Hitler. (Archive.is link here) In a 2015 article, we see that the now-deceased mother of Larson's child became a transgendered man, who in court documents described their relationship: "During our relationship, he was severely emotionally and sexually abusive towards me. He stated multiple times that he wanted to have sex with a child. He talked about how he would manipulate and trick the child into giving him sex, told me he wouldn't love the child if they did not have sex with him, and stated he had no interest in children other than sexual ... [He] raped me until I was pregnant and stated his intention to have sex with my child after she was born." He also admitted to raping her in an email presented as evidence. BOTTOM LINE The general consensus about Nathan Larson, from both the right and the left side of the political aisle is that he a menace, dubbed the "actual worst of the internet," over at the liberal site Wonkette, yet he has managed to obtain the 1,000 signatures needed to become a candidate in June 2018, as an Independent. He submitted those signatures to the Virginia Board of Elections in May. That means at least 1,000 people either did not know his views which includes views from the radical fringes of both the left and the right, or they knew and still supported his run. With so many being highly disappointed in both the Democratic party and the Republican party, just seeing someone running as an independent may encourage them to cast a vote against the "two" parties by voting for Larson in the June 12 primary, so it is incredibly important that voters in the district he is running in, be aware of his actual positions.

Busted: Major Tucson Trafficking Camp-Ties to Clinton Foundation, Cartels and Ex-President of Mexico’s Son

The most despicable crime on the face of the earth is child sex trafficking and the global elite are involved in controlling the industry in every country. This is a byproduct of Agenda 21. This report is not for everyone to view. It is horrific, particularily the 10 minutes of video that you will be referred to. Word is spreading like wildire across Arizona. I have about 20 emails advising me of sex trafficking camps being discovered in the Tucson area along the I-19 corridor and Valencia. The MSM is totally ignoring the story, despite overwhelming evidence to substantiate the claims and the Independent is still largely unaware of this heinous discovery in Southern Arizona. The following is a typical email of what I am receiving. Hello Dave …. I came across this article video. Titus frost on his channel… About how the Arizona State Patrol and Tucson Police will not help gather up child traffickers and drug trafficking.. you would have to watch this video posted 9 hours ago to see what’s going on down in Arizona… Titus Frost in the video titled operation Backyard Brawl… Please investigate… Thank you EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT’ The following is an eyewitness account of an individual who purports to have been to one of the camps along I-19 and Valencia. The ccamp was discovered by a group associated with VOP. VOP is a group that patrols the streets and tries to rescue veterans who are homeless, drug addicted or impaired in some fashion. The VOP associated with reporting on this Sex-Trafficking camp, where children are ostensibly used and murdered, has stated that they happened, by chance, into the discovery of this camp, from intel gathered from their street operations in the search for veterans at the camp site when evidence was found that implicated the site as a child-sex trafficking site. You may find it useful, if you have touchscreen to enlarge the following to read. If you are unable to do so, I will summarize the content below the following statement. I am experiencing trouble getting many people to go on the record, although I have accessed a 3 hour video on this subject which I will reference later in this article. I realize that some of you will not be able to enlarge your computer screen to read the account regarding the sex camp. Therefore, please allow me to summarize the events detailed in the above publication, which was admittedly produced in small print: The VOP has found combs with blond hair. There are boxes with chilren’s toys and next to the toys are used condoms. Graves have been discovered. VOP anon said they stopped digging when the smell got so bad they had to stop. They need to resume the digging. Buy some gas masks and continue the work! VOP is asking for assistance with regard to getting cadavar dogs to come to the site. KGUN television in Tucson is mocking the reports of the VOP. The Tucson Police and the FBI refuse to come to the scene where the crime scene evidence was located. The property in question is owned by Cemex Construction Materials South LLC (more on the company and their associates later in the article). The Tucson Police has given VOP until Monday (today, June 4, 2018) to vacate the premises. Could this be another Bundy Ranch standoff? The VOP says they are not leaving until their work is done. Cemex has threatened to bring their own private security to remove VOP. VOP has stated that they are not leaving until the breaches in the fences are repaired so the property can be sealed off. I have seen video of restraints embedded in trees along with bone cutting saws and a Playboy magazine nearby, along with condoms. You will see a video reference to this fact in which the readers will have to link to because the video is not public for undisclosed reasons. If they are trying to conceal this report from Youtube censorship, YT will discover this, take down the video and terminate the channel. Therefore, I do not expect this video to be available much longer and you will be forced to depend on the eyewitness accounts of people, like myself, who have seen it, all of it. And I am warning you, not everyone should see this video. Even the most hardened person will have trouble viewing this material. Here is the link to the video. If you think you have the stomach to see the restraints on the trees and the Playboy magazine, you can link to it here and go the 1:52:00 – 2:02:00 mark. From: VOP Alpha Co – Team Pulaski June 2 at 1:01pm · SHARE WITH ALL TUCSON NEWS OUTLETS… In order to provide opportunity for full transparency… the dismantling of the Child Sex Camp is being postponed for 5 hrs. Come out before then. Camp will be dismantled with prison cell, all children’s items, all physical evidence of human trafficking, receipts with dates, and bags of human waste collected and delivered to DHS once catagoring is completed Monday afternoon. We are demanding a full investigation into Cemex, the Builder, and the Child Sex Trafficking. We are also demanding an investigation related to the accusation that we staged this. We will fully cooperate. You don’t have to trust that we are being honest, you have to trust God who remains 2 moves from Checkmate. #DoingItRight The post is readable and very clear. However, we have another post from a source at the scene that will require you to enlarge the text. And, again, if you cannot, I will summarize the content. This is very damaging content. The following contains a trace of Cemex’s associations and history. The Mayor Tucson is implicated by name (ie Rothschild). The Illuminati is implicated. The Federal Government is implicated and their has been at least one Federal investigation into Cemex, according to Reuters. The following is worth the time and effort to decipher. Summary of the abovementioned content: The land in question is owned by Cemex and they are a partner of the Clinton Global Initiative. Cemex is linked to Haiti through the Clinton Foundation. The report states that Cemex is a $100 million donor to the Clinton Foundation (Editor’s Note: One has to wonder if this payment was a pay for play? Read on because this speculation will make more sense). Cemex is also owned by Bronfman-Rothschilds. That would central banking head. Sara Bronfman’s husband became the head of Libya-SA trade initiative after the Clinton/Obama led overthrow of Ghadaffi. Cemex is under a US DOJ investigation according to a March 14, 2018 Reuters article. The investigation comes after the company said in December that the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) had asked it for information to determine whether it violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in the construction of a new plant in Colombia. Editor’s Note: It is not clear what they are under investigation for. It is not clear what this “plant” in Colombia is all about. Is it tied to child-sex-trafficking? That question cannot be answered at this time because there is a media blackout on this investigation except for a brief update on May 18th by the Wall Street Journal. However, the articles did not reveal anything significant related to the specific crimes. Emillano Salinas is the son of the former President of Mexico. Salinas is an ex-member of NXIVM, the nasty Hollywood cartel with sex trafficking ties. You may recall that former Smallville actress Allison Mack who had self-admitted involvement in the controversial NXIVM organization. Salinas worked for Lazard Investments. Lazard Investments is connected to George Soros. Jonathan Rothschild is the Mayor of Tucson. I have known for years that the Pima County Sheriff is controlled by the Rothschild-Greenberg cartel. Conclusion There is no conclusion to this story, I am just getting started. I invit my associates in the Independent Media to join me in exposing this heinous activity. Stay tuned, information is flooding in.

Trump Quotes Bongino: Brennan a Liar, Russia Probe a Scam

Former Secret Service agent reveals parasites in DC swamp

Kit Daniels | Infowars.com - June 2, 2018

President Trump quoted former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino who blasted ex-CIA Director John Brennan as a “liar.” The former Secret Service agent turned radio host told Fox & Friends that Brennan had been caught lying before, and yet he keeps lying. “Not only is he a liar. He is a liar about being a liar… he has already busted lying,” said Bongino. “He said he didn’t know about the dossier.” “Yet, he briefed people up on the hill about elements of the dossier that then appeared in a letter to the FBI. He is lying. He is just making this up.” Bongino also called the Russian probe a “scam investigation,” which the president highlighted in another tweet. And on Fox & Friends, Bongino said “we are getting worked. Worked with a capital W” when it came to the total cost of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe. “You are getting screwed so badly – the American people – by this sham investigation. I have never seen anything like it.” The probe has found Russian collusion, however: collusion with Democrats, Bongino pointed out. “We now know that there is Russian collusion with the Clintons and the Democrats, but Bob Mueller’s investigating Donald Trump for it, number one,” said Bongiono. “Number two, the Mueller probe team is stacked with anti-Trumpers, two of whom are lawyers. This is a fact by the way.” “I encourage anyone to look this up, who actually represented people before hand in the Clinton sphere. They represented Clintontonians involved in the case. This is a total scam. Everybody is getting worked.”

It’s so hot in Mexico right now that traffic lights are melting – Mexico City beats 99-year-old temperature record in unprecedented heat wave that has already killed 13 people

By Strange Sounds - Jun 5, 2018

Some call it the heat wave of the century! And Mexicans are being fried by temperatures reaching up to 50 °C (122°F)! It’s so hot in Mexico right now that even traffic lights are melting and a 99-year-old temperature record was beaten two days ago in Mexico City. Already 13 people have been killed by this unprecedented heat wave in different states across the country. In addition to the heat, meteorologists forecast intense storms in certain areas of the country. In Chihuahua, Nuevo León and Coahuila, wind gusts could exceed 50 kilometers per hour. It’s Hell on Earth! The heat wave is affecting the entire country of Mexico since the end of May. And this could continue longer. Today, temperatures higher than 45°C (113°F) were recorded and reported in nine states by the National Meteorological Service (SMN). Temperatures from 45°C (113°F) to 50°C (122°F) are forecast for Baja California, Sonora, Sinaloa, Michoacan, Guerrero, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas. Temperatures between 40°C (105°F) and 45°C (113°F) in areas of Baja California Sur, Nayarit, Jalisco, Durango, Zacatecas, San Luis Potosi, Hidalgo, Veracruz, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatan and Quintana Roo. And temperatures between 35°C (95°F) to 40°C (105°F) in areas from Colima, Oaxaca, Chiapas, Aguascalientes, Guanajuato, Querétaro, Puebla and Morelos. On May 30, Mexico City experienced its hottest day in the last 99 years as thermometers reached 31.7°C (89.1°F), surpassing the historical maximum temperature of 31.2°C (88.2°F) recorded in 1919. heat wave mexico june 2018, heat wave mexico, traffic lights melt mexico, mexico heat wave 2018 news, it's so hot in mexico traffic lights are melting On May 30, Mexico City experienced its hottest day in the last 99 years. via Twitter Warm temperatures bring severe weather Intense punctual storms are forecast in Oaxaca and Chiapas; very strong storms in Michoacán and Guerrero, and strong local storms in Jalisco, Colima, Veracruz, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatan and Quintana Roo. Strong winds are predicted with gusts exceeding 50km/h (31.6mph) and possible dust storms in Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León and Tamaulipas. Meanwhile, a zone of instability with cyclonic potential is slowly moving off the coast of Guerrero and Michoacán, and is expected to intensify. Already 13 people have been killed in 7 different states by the unprecedented Mexican heat wave so far. Probably more to come… Always be ready!

Almost 100 Local Tribes Form Coalition to Expel US Forces From Syria - Reports

Middle East 16:08 04.06.2018(updated 16:10 04.06.2018)

The presence of US troops in Syria is escalating tensions between government forces and the Kurdish-dominated Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), with some politicians and Syrian Army officers accusing the SDF of serving as “puppets” for the US and other western powers. In excess of 70 Syrian tribal leaders met in the Aleppo Governorate, specifically the city of Deir Hafer, over the weekend to discuss plans and coordinate with one another to remove US forces from Syria, Al-Masdar News reported on Sunday. Via a joint statement, the tribes, which are predominately Sunni Muslims, announced the formation of a coalition to oust US and French military personnel from Syria, in addition to liberating territory held by the SDF, provided Damascus is unable to negotiate a reconciliation deal with them. The tribesmen also reportedly discussed the prospect of fighting Turkish forces in northwestern Syria. The different tribes hail from various parts of Syria which are currently occupied by US-backed forces, including the oil-rich provinces of Deir ez-Zor and al-Hasakah. Although there’s been some low-level, sporadic clashes and attacks on SDF bases in northern Syria in recent months, particularly in the Raqqa Governorate, where the Popular Resistance of Raqqa (PRoR) operates, we are yet to see the launch a widescale, continuous anti-SDF operation, by either the Syrian Army or local militiamen. However, in a recent interview with RT, President Bashar al-Assad warned that a widescale anti-SDF offensive would be launched if negotiations fail. In the meantime, the Syrian Army is mobilizing and deploying forces to southern Syria ahead of a major offensive in the Deraa government, where militants control a large chunk of territory, including parts of the provincial capital. Last Friday, a military source confirmed to Sputnik reporter Suliman Mulhem that Hezbollah troops and other Iran-backed militiamen won’t be involved in the offensive, likely as part of an acceptable compromise reached with Israel via Russian mediators.

Lava Cuts Off Last Remaining Escape Route for Group of Hawaiians Stranded Without Food or Water

By Jack Davis June 3, 2018 at 2:00pm

New eruptions from the Kilauea volcano have left some Hawaii residents stranded with no electricity or running water in an area entirely cut off by lava. Hawaii Civil Defense Service officials said about a dozen people that they know of are stranded in the area, CNN reported. Phone lines and cell towers are also out in the area. “There’s no way out,” BBC correspondent Kylie Morris told viewers, according to The Express. “It’s extraordinary. I can see a road, a freeway, down there where there’s just a tiny circle that is still visible and all the rest of it completely covered up by the magma,” said Morris, who was traveling over the isolated area by helicopter. Last week, officials encouraged residents to leave and said some areas have now become off limits to rescue teams. “I can no longer ask of … police, fire, National Guard, to go in the dark of a neighborhood they don’t know, to say ‘you must get out now,'” Hawaii County Mayor Harry Kim said Tuesday. “Last night I told them I can no longer afford to put residents at risk.” Officials have said those who remain could be airlifted out if necessary. The eruption, which has destroyed 87 homes in the past four weeks, could encircle more locales, officials said, citing the community of Kapoho and MacKenzie State Park, which could be cut off soon. Residents were advised to evacuate by Friday afternoon. “They are being asked to leave. Period,” said county spokeswoman Janet Snyder. On Sunday, U.S. Geological Survey officials said lava from the volcano added a lake to the list of what has been destroyed since the volcano began erupting. On Saturday, the lava crawled into Green Lake. The Hawaii County Fire Department said the lava filled the lake and evaporated its water, AccuWeather reported. In an effort to find out what the volcano will do next, officials flew drones over its summit. Images from the drones showed cracks in the summit, according to The Express. “It’s possible that new explosions will blast through the rubble at the bottom of the vent. These may or may not be larger than the previous explosions,” said Kyle Anderson, a Hawaiian Volcano Observatory geophysicist. As if lava flows are not enough to worry about, officials said the problem of laze awaits. Laze is a deadly combination created when lava meets the sea. “Lava entering the ocean causes a chemical reaction and can result in small explosions, sending tiny particles of hydrochloric acid and volcanic glass in the air,” Jessica Johnson, a geophysicist at Britain’s University of East Anglia told USA Today.

Council on Foreign Relations Tells Gov’t They “Have To” Use Propaganda on Americans

A member of the Council on Foreign Relations insisted that the United States government must use propaganda on its own citizens.

By Jay Syrmopoulos - June 4, 2018

The Council on Foreign Relations delivered an Orwellian presentation recently that unsurprisingly went unnoticed in the mainstream media, in which CFR’s Richard Stengel forwarded the notion that governments “have to” direct “propaganda” at their own domestic populations. The Council is recognized as one of the United States’ oldest and most establishment think tanks of the American power-elite, and it often sets the agenda on important policy questions—or, as former senior editor at the Washington Post, Richard Harwood, in a column entitled “Ruling Class Journalists,” approvingly described the Council as, “the nearest thing we have to a ruling establishment in the United States.” Harwood admiringly wrote: “The membership of these journalists in the Council, however they may think of themselves, is an acknowledgment of their active and important role in public affairs and of their ascension into the American ruling class. They do not merely analyze and interpret foreign policy for the United States; they help make it…. They are part of that establishment whether they like it or not, sharing most of its values and worldviews.” CFR is a key cog in the hub of Washington think-tanks promoting endless war. As former Army Major Todd Pierce described, think-tanks act as “primary provocateurs” using “‘psychological suggestiveness’ to create a false narrative of danger from some foreign entity with the objective being to create paranoia within the U.S. population that it is under imminent threat of attack or takeover.” In late January 2018, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange publicized the extensive sway the Council on Foreign relations carried over U.S. mass media by Tweeting a graphic created by Swiss Propaganda Research (SPR), a research and information project on geopolitical propaganda in Swiss media, which illustrated the heavy influence CFR exercises over the media narrative delivered to the American public, i.e. domestic propaganda. The illustration of the Council’s deeply entrenched media presence is based on official membership rosters compiled by SPR, revealing the interconnectedness of CFR’s extensive mass media influence network and its main international affiliate groups—the Bilderberg Group (covering mainly the U.S. and Europe) and the Trilateral Commission (covering North America, Europe and East Asia). According to the report from Swiss Propaganda Research: Largely unbeknownst to the general public, many media executives and top journalists of almost all major US news outlets have long been members of the influential Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). Established in 1921 as a private, bipartisan organization to “awaken America to its worldwide responsibilities”, the CFR and its close to 5000 elite members have for decades shaped U.S. foreign policy and public discourse about it. As one Council member famously explained, the goal has indeed been to establish a global Empire, albeit a “benevolent” one. Stengel, a former editor of TIME magazine, told the audience at a CFR event in late April called Political Disruptions: Combating Disinformation and Fake News that governments “have to” direct “propaganda” toward their own populations. In the full video of the CFR event shown below, Stengel openly argues in favor of propaganda against U.S. citizens starting at the 1:15:26 mark in the footage. Stengel, who is a former high-level U.S. government official, head of the office for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs at the State Department from 2013 to 2016, and a regular pundit on MSNBC, explained: Basically, every country creates their own narrative story and, you know, my old job at the State Department was what people used to joke as the ‘chief propagandist’ job. We haven’t talked about propaganda… I’m not against propaganda. Every country does it, and they have to do it to their own population, and I don’t necessarily think it’s that awful. Zero Hedge reported that Stengel’s personal bio site notes that he “helped create and oversee” the Global Engagement Center at the State Department whose official mission is to “counter propaganda and disinformation from international terrorist organizations and foreign countries” (with a “special focus on Russia”). Perhaps most ominous of all is the fact that a man who publicly says that he is “not against propaganda” on the U.S. government’s “own population“ was recently named a “distinguished fellow” as part of the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab (DFRLab). Yes, the same Atlantic Council that espouses a strongly anti-Russian agenda that is funded by Ukrainian billionaire Victor Pinchuk, who also happened to donate at least $10 million to the Clinton Foundation. Pinchuk just so happens to be the CTO and co-founder of CrowdStrike—the company used by the DNC to inspect their servers allegedly hacked by Russia, after refusing the FBI access to the same servers. Obviously, it seems to be very peculiar behavior by the DNC to refuse the FBI access to their servers, and instead rely on a private company—unless they had an ulterior motive. Consequently, the assessment by CrowdStrike was used as a basis for what eventually resulted in the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller. Ironically, just two weeks ago the DFRLab announced that its team has partnered with Facebook to “monitor disinformation“ and protect elections. The DFRLab defined the new initiative as follows: The Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab today announced a partnership with Facebook to independently monitor disinformation and other vulnerabilities in elections around the world. The effort is part of an initiative to help provide credible research about the role of social media in elections, as well as democracy more generally. The Digital Forensic Research Lab is launching a partnership with Facebook to support the world’s largest community in its efforts to strengthen democracy… As if on cue, and with an utterly Orwellian feel, Facebook announced on June 2, 2018, that the user-generated “trending news” section will be replaced by a “breaking news” section—which will be comprised of 80 publications selected by Facebook—that will feed approved content to users. Facebook will essentially have complete control of the topics and narratives that are fed to their users in a clear act of social engineering, which will give the social media giant—and their political/ideological allies—the ability to directly manipulate people’s perceptions of any event. During the 2016 election, leaked internal documents from Facebook revealed that the editors in charge of the company’s “Trending News” section repeatedly discriminated against conservative articles, while promoting progressive content, which resulted in the threat of an investigation from the Senate commerce committee. The new changes were explained in a Friday announcement: Breaking News Label: A test we’re running with 80 publishers across North America, South America, Europe, India and Australia lets publishers put a “breaking news” indicator on their posts in News Feed. We’re also testing breaking news notifications. Today In: We’re testing a dedicated section on Facebook called Today In that connects people to the latest breaking and important news from local publishers in their city, as well as updates from local officials and organizations. News Video in Watch: We will soon have a dedicated section on Facebook Watch in the US where people can view live coverage, daily news briefings and weekly deep dives that are exclusive to Watch. So, when CFR is publicly advocating for the societal benefits of domestic propaganda, and Facebook is jettisoning an already meager user-generated “Trending News” section and aligning itself with an anti-Russian, Clinton-connected thinktank, Americans should be keenly aware that they are being actively propagandized, and they should work to intentionally diversify their news sources as an omnipotent mass propaganda regime is being covertly implemented. DASH cryptocurrency and The Free Thought Project have formed a partnership that will continue to spread the ideas of peace and freedom while simultaneously teaching people how to operate outside of the establishment systems of control like using cryptocurrency instead of dollars. Winning this battle is as simple as choosing to abstain from the violent corrupt old system and participating in the new and peaceful system that hands the power back to the people. DASH is this system. DASH digital cash takes the control the banking elite has over money and gives it back to the people. It is the ultimate weapon in the battle against the money changers and information controllers. If you'd like to start your own DASH wallet and be a part of this change and battle for peace and freedom, you can start right here. DASH is already accepted by vendors all across the world so you can begin using it immediately.

Investor group led by Rev. Damon Lynch III awarded provisional license for medical weed shop in Cincinnati

Randy Tucker, rtucker@enquirer.com Published 8:58 a.m. ET June 4, 2018 | Updated 10:09 a.m. ET June 5, 2018

Over 180 companies submitted applications to become medical marijuana cultivators in Ohio, and their names are just as punny as you'd expect. Kim Armstrong/The Enquirer

Two Cincinnati-based businesses, including a group of investors led by the Rev. Damon Lynch III, have been awarded provisional licenses to operate medical weed stores in Ohio. The full list of medical marijuana dispensary applicants and those eligible for licenses were posted on the website for Ohio's Medical Marijuana Control Program. Lynch, pastor of New Prospect Baptist Church in Roselawn, and eight other investors backing Green Rx LLC plan to open a 7,000-square-foot dispensary at 8420 Vine St. in Hartwell. It would be the only dispensary inside the Cincinnati city limits. Most of the Green Rx investors are African-American. The state's medical marijuana law requires regulators to issue a certain share of licenses to “economically disadvantaged” groups, although the language of the law is being challenged in court. In an earlier interview with The Enquirer, Lynch acknowledged that it might be a stretch to call his group economically disadvantaged because they had to submit a financial plan and were required to meet certain income and liquidity thresholds. But he said blacks have been historically disadvantaged in other ways, including being arrested for marijuana at a much higher rate than any other group under the Reagan administration, based on an analysis of FBI arrest data by Human Rights Watch. "If we don't participate in this burgeoning industry when we’ve been subject to the worst penalties and just sit back and let others accrue all the wealth while we’ve done all the suffering, I would say shame on us,'' Lynch told The Enquirer. In addition to Lynch's group, Care Med Associates LLC also won provisional license for a dispensary at 5149 Kennedy Ave., Columbia Township. Meanwhile, Jimmy Gould – a Cincinnati businessman who was behind Ohio's failed Issue 3 marijuana initiative in 2015 and was also denied a grower's license in a controversial decision by regulators – finally got a win. Gould was awarded preliminary licenses for dispensaries in Ohio in Monroe, Dayton, Marietta and Logan under the name CannAscend Alternative. The Ohio Board of Pharmacy, one of three state agencies regulating Ohio's Medical Marijuana Control Program, picked 56 winners from a list of 376 applicants in 28 geographic areas. Residents living near Cleveland and Columbus are poised to gain the greatest number of dispensaries with Franklin and Cuyahoga counties receiving preliminary approval for five dispensaries each. In the local region, three dispensaries were named eligible in Hamilton County, two in Butler County and one in Warren County. The retail shops will be allowed to sell edibles, oils, patches, tinctures, vaping concentrates, and other products, to medical marijuana patients with nearly two dozen qualifying conditions. However, smoking marijuana is still illegal in Ohio, and the dispensaries are banned from selling marijuana bud or flowers for smoking. "Today's announcement ends months of speculation about where patients will be able to purchase medical marijuana,'' said Thomas Rosenberger, executive director of the National Cannabis Industry Association of Ohio. "We look forward to working with the provisional license winners to provide Ohio's patients with safe access to medical marijuana.'' State law requires dispensaries to begin filling orders for Ohioans by Sept. 8 – the deadline for the state's medical marijuana program to become fully operational. But they must first be inspected by the state and granted a certificate to operate before they can open for business. Only patients and caregivers registered with the state who have received medical ID cards and recommendations from a physician will be allowed to buy from the dispensaries. So far, 89 doctors have been approved by the State Medical Board to recommend medical marijuana once the program goes live. And an online a patient registry and portal is being set up by the pharmacy board. The location of the dispensaries is key, experts say, because patients or approved caregivers will have to physically go to the dispensaries to get prescriptions filled. The more dispensaries there are in a certain geographical area the more likely patients are to have access to the right strain of weed to treat their conditions, said Robert Ryan, executive director of the Ohio Patient Network. "Just like any medicine, there's no one-size-fits-all strain,'' Ryan said. "You can’t tell a patient that this particular strain is going to be right for you. Sometimes it takes a little bit of experimentation.'' Patients living near churches or schools will have to travel the farthest. The dispensaries are prohibited from being located within 500 feet of a school, church, public library, public playground, public park or community addiction services provider. The dispensaries will join 25 large and small marijuana growers as the only businesses so far to receive approval for provisional licenses to operate in Ohio. No other marijuana businesses essential to the program have received preliminary approval, and no businesses have been fully licensed yet. Up to 40 provisional licenses for processors, or the companies that will process marijuana into edibles and other permissible forms, are pending, as well as provisional licenses for an unknown number of testing labs necessary to ensure the quality of the medical marijuana sold in the state.

Supreme Court sides with Christian baker in same-sex wedding cake case

By Alex Swoyer - The Washington Times - Monday, June 4, 2018

The Supreme Court granted a limited victory Monday to a Colorado baker who refused to make a cake for a same-sex couple, finding the state showed fierce hostility toward his Christian beliefs when it ruled that he broke the law with his refusal. But the 7-2 decision does not establish a First Amendment right to refuse services to same-sex couples and will likely lead to more tough legal questions for justices as a case involving a florist who opposes same-sex marriage hangs in the high court’s purview. Instead, the decision suggested a road map for states such as Colorado, which have public accommodation laws, to use in evaluating cases that pit First Amendment religious rights against anti-discrimination protections. Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, writing the lead opinion in the case, said states can require people to serve all customers equally regardless of sexual orientation as long as they justify it through law and don’t show animus toward religion. “The delicate question of when the free exercise of his religion must yield to an otherwise valid exercise of state power needed to be determined in an adjudication in which religious hostility on the part of the state itself would not be a factor in the balance the state sought to reach,” Justice Kennedy wrote.

Fox News Falsely Implies Praying Eagles Were Protesting and the Players Aren't Having It

By Josh Ellis | NBC Sports Philadelphia

Published 4 hours ago | Updated 2 hours ago

On Tuesday morning, Fox News ran a piece it then tweeted out, about President Donald Trump's disinviting the Eagles to the White House "due to the national anthem controversy." As the anchor delivers the story, images of Eagles players are shown on screen. The first three photos are of players Zach Ertz, Corey Clement and Jordan Matthews kneeling — but they're praying before games, not kneeling during the national anthem. The fourth is of Malcolm Jenkins and Rodney McLeod raising their fists during the national anthem, while Chris Long puts his arm around Jenkins. Ertz and Long responded on their personal Twitter accounts and accused the outlet of pushing the president's agenda with false information. And here's exactly when each photo shown was taken. The first photo shown isn't even from last season, it shows Jordan Matthews, who was traded by the Eagles prior to the 2017 season. The second photo, showing Zach Ertz and Corey Clement was taken before the Eagles played the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, Oct. 8, 2017. Long is seen running in the background and was later photographed during the anthem with his arm around Jenkins. This photo could not have been taken during the national anthem. The third photo is of Zach Ertz from Nov. 26, 2017, kneeling before the game against the Chicago Bears. This photo was taken before the game and not during the anthem. The final photo shows Long, Jenkins and McLeod standing on the field during the anthem. The Eagles will not be going to the White House on Tuesday. Instead, they will be holding a light OTA practice as the NovaCare Complex.

Supreme Court Throws Out Ruling Forcing Trump Admin to Help Illegal Immigrants Get Abortions

National Micaiah Bilger Jun 4, 2018 | 12:02PM Washington, DC

The U.S. Supreme Court threw out a pro-abortion ruling Monday that forced the Trump administration to help facilitate an abortion for an illegal immigrant minor. The decision is a small but important victory for unborn babies in America because it eliminates a court precedent that sided with radical abortion activists. The teenager in the case, “Jane Doe,” aborted her 16-week unborn baby in 2017 while staying in a government-run shelter for illegal immigrant minors and refugees. A federal appeals court sided with the ACLU, and forced the government to help facilitate her abortion in October 2017. However, the Trump administration appealed to the Supreme Court. The Trump administration argued it is not obliged to facilitate abortions for minors in its care, while the American Civil Liberties Union claimed every woman and girl on U.S. shores has the “right” to abort an unborn baby. On Monday, the Supreme Court rejected the lower court ruling, according to Reuters. The opinion was not signed, and there were no dissents. The high court said the matter is not debatable anymore because the teenager already aborted her baby and is no longer in federal custody. However, it also allowed other similar lawsuits to continue through the courts, the report states. The court did not grant the government’s request for disciplinary action against the ACLU lawyers. The Trump administration said the ACLU lawyers should be disciplined because they misled the government about the time of the young woman’s abortion appointment and did not allow time for an appeal prior to the unborn baby’s abortion death. Los Angeles Times reports more: The justices also took no action on the administration’s request for sanctions against ACLU lawyers. Administration lawyers had alleged the ACLU attorneys misled them by taking the young woman to see a doctor early in the morning before they could seek a stay from the Supreme Court. The ACLU disagreed and said its lawyers had reacted reasonably after a judge cleared the way for their client to have the abortion. Click here to sign up for pro-life news alerts from LifeNews.com “On the one hand, all attorneys must remain aware of the principle that zealous advocacy does not displace their obligations as officers of the court,” the justices wrote in Azar vs. Garza. “On the other hand, lawyers also have ethical obligations to their clients and not all communications breakdowns constitute misconduct.” The 17-year-old “Jane Doe” came to the country illegally and was staying at a taxpayer-funded shelter in Texas when she requested an abortion. The shelter did not assist her, citing a new government policy that they offer life-affirming support to women and girls who are pregnant, according to Slate. According to the report, the shelter took “Jane Doe” to a pro-life pregnancy resource center instead. The ACLU said the teen did not change her mind after receiving counseling, and scheduled an abortion; however, the shelter where she was staying refused to transport her to the appointment. The ACLU sued on behalf of the teen, and after a series of appeals by the U.S. government and the ACLU, the pro-abortion legal group won in federal appeals court. The teen aborted her unborn baby the next day. Planned Parenthood, NARAL and other abortion activists celebrated the news of the unborn baby’s abortion death. In 2017 under President Donald Trump’s administration, the Office of Refugee Resettlement issued a new policy requiring that taxpayer-funded shelters for immigrants and refugees offer life-affirming support to women and girls who are pregnant. Office Director Scott Lloyd, a Trump nominee, said the shelters may not take “any action that facilitates” an abortion for unaccompanied minors without his direct approval. Lloyd said that “grantees should not be supporting abortion services … only pregnancy services and life-affirming options counseling.” Several lawsuits challenging the policy are on-going.

Iran Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei orders country's atomic energy body to prepare for uranium enrichment capacity upgrade

'Tehran will attack 10 times more if attacked by enemies,' Ayatollah Khamenei says

Independent US staff and agencies 23 hours ago

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has ordered the country's atomic energy body to prepare for an increase in uranium enrichment capacity if a nuclear deal with world powers falls apart after the US pulled out. Tensions between Iran and the West have heightened since President Donald Trump withdrew the United States from the 2015 accord with Tehran, calling it deeply flawed. Under the deal, the Islamic Republic curbed its disputed nuclear energy programme and in return won a lifting of most international sanctions that had hobbled its economy. Last month, in its first report since the U.S. withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal that Israel also opposes, the UN's nuclear agency, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said Iran continues to stay below the maximum level of uranium the deal allows it to enrich. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said the latest push for enrichment would still be within the terms of the deal. The agency's report also said Iran appears to be fulfilling other obligations, but is slow when it comes to “complementary access” inspections. One of Mr Trump's demands - which European allies back in principle - is negotiations to rein in Iran's ballistic missile programme, which was not covered by the nuclear deal. Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei again said this was non-negotiable. “Some Europeans are talking about limiting our defensive missile programme. I am telling the Europeans, 'Limiting our missile work is a dream that will never come true,” he said in a televised speech. Mr Trump also objected that the 2015 deal did not address Iran's nuclear work beyond 2025 or its role in conflicts in Yemen and Syria. Though committed to the deal, European powers share Trump's concerns and want broader talks with Iran to address the issues. “Our enemies have staged economic and psychological ... warfare against us and new American sanctions are part of it,” Ayatollah Khamenei told a gathering to mark the 29th anniversary of the death of Iranian revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. “Tehran will attack 10 times more if attacked by enemies ... The enemies don't want an independent Iran in the region ... We will continue our support for oppressed nations,” he said. Ayatollah Khamenei said Iran had no intention of curbing its influence in the Middle East and urged Arab youth to stand up to U.S. pressure. “Young Arabs, you should take action and the initiative to control your own future ... Some regional countries act like their own people's enemies,” he said in an allusion to US-allied Gulf Arab states who have supported rebels fighting to topple Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a close ally of Tehran.

Scientists realized East Antarctica has been having regular earthquakes all along

Katherine Ellen Foley June 04, 2018

For all the ways Antarctica is unique, scientists have finally realized one way in which it’s the same as every other continent on the planet: It experiences routine earthquakes. In a paper published today (June 4) in Nature Geosciences, a research team explains that over the course of 2009, there were no less than 27 earthquakes on the eastern part of the continent. Previously, only eight earthquakes had been recorded in East Antarctica since 1982—odd, considering that every land mass on Earth is actually a tectonic plate floating on ductile mantle. All land experiences routine wiggling, although most of it is undetectable without precise instruments. Geologists didn’t have a clear explanation why East Antarctica would be so still, although they theorized that perhaps it was because the weight of the ice sheet above subdued all seismic activity. “It’s no longer an anomaly,” says Amanda Lough, a seismologist at Drexel University and lead author of the study. Lough was a graduate student at Drexel while she and her team were conducting this research across the frozen landscape. At first, she says, she and her team were surprised to see so many earthquakes. There was “quite a bit of checking to make sure that they were real events and that we had located them accurately,” she says. The reason for the sudden spike? Seismic activity didn’t actually go up; it’s just that no one was looking for it before. Lough and her team received funding to carry out a broad mission of collecting any seismic activity on East Antarctica starting in January 2009, thanks to money from International Polar Year—a perennial event in which governments around the world agree to supersize funding to scientists studying the Arctic and Antarctic. There have only been four International Polar Years in history. This one ran for more than a year, from March 2007 through March 2009, giving scientists two summers to collect data (winter in the poles is completely inhospitable). Before that, the last one had been in 1957. International Polar Years are important because everything in Antarctica is expensive, Lough explained. In addition to special-ordering equipment to withstand the cold, everything and everyone needs to be flown in on charter flights or shipped in. In addition to researchers, teams need support staff like camp managers and cooks. Understandably, researchers come together on massive teams to try to get as much done as they can while they have the extra cash flow. And so, at the start of 2009, Lough and her team put out 26 seismometers in the snow. The following year, they came to collect them. The team found no less than 27 earthquakes, all of which were between 2.1 and 3.9 on the Richter scale—all of which are classified as “minor” or below by geologists, and most of which probably couldn’t be felt. The East Antarctic plate is a stable part of a tectonic plate called a craton, similar to the Canadian Shield, which ranges from Quebec to the Northwest Territories, or the US midwest. The findings from the study don’t have a ton of implications for future work—no one expects East Antarctica to suddenly erupt in seismic activity. But it’s another step toward understanding the most mysterious continent on the planet.

Pastors To Blame For America’s Downfall

May 29, 2018 Read More Articles by Rev. Austin Miles

Back in the 40’s church pastors had a certain mystique for those who knew who they were and observed them. Vandalism to any church was considered unthinkable. First of all, a church was considered a sacred place even to those who did not believe. Churches kept their doors open 24 hours a day so people could come in at any hour and pray or simply think quietly. Even the hardest of hearts would not even THINK of vandalizing or stealing from a church. What was the secret of this invisible protective power surrounding the pastor and even an empty church that kept everyone on their best behavior? Simple, it was the consistent moral behavior of those devoted men at all times. Preachers, please take note. We are not supposed to be like very body else. We are set apart. We don’t yell and scream at someone, ogle a female, or have a drink to prove that we’re just one of the guys, or ‘just like everyone else.’ That would be hurtful to any minister, especially this one, if that were said about me. No we are not, nor were we intended to be ‘just like everyone else.’ People will try to tempt you to be “one of the guys.” Don’t fall for it. Years ago when I was in my preteens, a very popular pastor in town was Reverend Zapp (first name lost in the dustpan of history), a Methodist minister back when that church was a church. Rev. Zapp became a member of the Shriners, beginning with the Masonic Lodge. I personally was not in favor of that since the Masons take a sideways approach to Christianity. But he was a member. One day he walked in the Shriners Club, and the whole room came alive to greet him as he came through the doors. Then some wise acre said, “Hey preacher, how ‘bout buying us all a drink.” “Sure,” Rev. Zapp replied, “Bartender, give everyone here a cup of coffee….on me.” Everybody of course laughed but with that laugh came new respect. So he still remained, ‘set apart.’ With the respect of preachers and the churches and the positive way they presented themselves in public, the public itself made sure their own conduct was above reproach, wherever they went. They didn’t want the town preacher to see them going into a burlesque show or a bar. This rubs off on the community. Everyone had a respect for the pastors, since they no doubt walked with God. They never compromised, but were always approachable and friendly. They lived what they represented. And Christians, YOU are sometimes the only Bible anyone reads. With that mystique, simply for living your testimony and stated beliefs, this also creates a bit of fear along with the respect. In other words, people are often challenged simply by being in the vicinity of a minister. And that is not a bad thing if it keeps us on our toes. A minister’s presence should be a healthy challenge to everyone they interact with. Indeed, notice how any man who is a respectable man with unwavering integrity who moves in confidence and in authority at all times will automatically be shown courtesy and respect. I remember back in high school, when young men did not know what to do with their raging hormones, and most every girl was mentally undressed by these little bucks on the prowl. That is, except for one whom I will never forget. His name was Jimmy Sanders. He was a very good looking Irish boy who played basketball, had a beautiful tenor Irish voice and sang in assemblies and special programs. Once I walked into the gym as the players were practicing. A very cute curvy girl in shorts, walked by the team. Everyone looked her up and down fantasizing ‘what it would be like with her.’ That is with the exception of one handsome young man, Jimmy Sanders, who also went to church every week. He kept his eyes straight ahead with no lewd looks. And what’s more, he was very popular and well liked by everybody. Yes, it impressed me too, very much so. I too wanted to be known and respected. And here was a living illustration as to how to achieve that. And Jimmy Sanders was an example to me all my school life. He would become a professional singer last we heard. I do know that back then, in the 40’s, life was much more peaceful and enjoyable. Rarely was a preacher busted for not keeping his zipper activated, misusing church funds or being seen with nefarious people and taking part in their activities. And certainly not partnering with Planned Parenthood, a horrific baby killing factory. And yes, this was the way it was until the 1960’s, when Billionaire Communist George Soros stirred up the “question-authority” movement, which promoted free love everywhere and drugs to get smashed out of reality. Until then the churches had healthy attendances on Sunday mornings and any other time a church activity was planned. The 60’s uproar did not just happen spontaneously, Think about it. How could every teenager to early 20’s, all over America, suddenly, at the same time, get the same idea, to leave their walk-up apartments and cover every city and town with chaos like a huge blanket? Greenwich Village became Hippie Town. This was not a spontaneous movement, but was all carefully planned, organized and implemented. People were PLACED in the various churches to sabotage the pastor and his message along with the people of the congregation. Yep, money talks. Are you aware that years ago, George Soros managed to get inside the Vatican? Yes he did, is still there, and has been shaping the Catholic Church ever since. How else could one explain Pope Francis? Nobody had any idea who he was until suddenly he was paraded to the center of the College of Cardinals who had ‘voted’ him in as the new pope. So it is true. Money not only talks but conquers. This writer had absolutely no knowledge of him even being in The College of Cardinals. He was placed there by Soros. This new ‘pope’ then said to us, now get this, “the first thing I intend to do is to Redistribute the Wealth.” That is right out of the Book of Marx. It did not take long to realize that the so-called Pope Francis is an out and out Communist. He has scuttled many of the sacred Catholic doctrines and recently told a young homosexual who had come to him; “God made you homosexual and that you should simply enjoy and accept your life.” The churches in Europe are some of the most beautiful in the world. However I never saw one with more than a hand-full of people on Sunday mornings. The Salvation Army Church in Oslo, was one of the only ones that was full. The other churches don’t worry about collections. A mandatory church tax is imposed on everyone to keep the churches open. But the pastors, were highly respected, and when I spent time in Europe (before the Muslim invasion) the people were well behaved. In Switzerland, a woman pointed out a man going into a store, and stated to me that he was a pastor. She went on to say that he was very well educated and well respected in the community. He was invited to speak to the schools and other gatherings because of his intellect and wisdom. Meanwhile, churches in America were mostly filled on Sunday mornings. Then, the 60’s brought in disrespect for ALL authority and especially targeted the churches. And they were able to persuade pastors that their messages are no longer relevant for today, that we are living in a whole new age, and that his messages needed to be updated or the church will go downhill. The pastor’s began watering down the Gospel so as to not offend anyone with the sin question. The pastors began acting in worldly ways, not living like a Pastor in words, deeds or overall carriage. And crime began to rise. To be conned into “fitting in with the world,” torpedoed their moral authority. This of course, disturbed citizens, causing their respect for pastors to diminish. And as they coasted downhill, they picked up speed. This was fatal. When the respect was there due to the proper conduct of all pastors, crime was not a major event. When pastors were persuaded to be like everyone else, and began acting like it, the crime rates began to rise, indeed even churches began to be vandalized and robbed. Church doors had to be double locked when no services were scheduled. Out and out public attacks on Christianity, the church and Jesus Christ Himself began to climb with a new boldness of atheists, the sexually confused and criminals, Pastors’ began promoting sexual deviance, defiling marriage as proclaimed by God and began, of all things, doing “wedding ceremonies” for same sex couples. They allowed LGBT folk to become workers in the church, even ordaining some as pastors. All of this which angers God. Then some joined in providing “blessing services” to the baby murder factory, Planned Parenthood, which brutally kills babies about to be born who are simply “inconvenient” for the parents. More and more pastors were caught in adultery with many pastors being charged with sexual harassment by…women…and men. This made a splotch on the whole church and pastors were no longer a figure of respect and authority. People in general became argumentative, rude, and disrespectful to one another. Life morphed into a chaotic free-for-all. Lawlessness was able to take over and kept all people on edge. Confused people became weak. The Soros’ Communists’ became bolder as church attendance began to drop away. A peaceful everyday life evolved into violent unrest. Any why? Pastors had simply abdicated their authority, integrity, moral compass and then manipulated the Gospel. This is why our lives are what they are today. Had the pastors been totally dedicated to the truth of God and held their pulpits throughout the years, and not been so weak as to be influenced by people like George Soros, America, would be a much better place today. So the headline reads: Pastors to Blame for America’s Downfall and that is no exaggeration. This is exactly what has taken place. Pastors would not man their pulpits, were not as totally dedicated as they should have been. How could Soros convince them to water down the Gospel of Jesus Christ? Money, women, and recognition. The greatest weakness of mankind. Three of the devil’s most effective weapons. Most pastors today are corrupt. Yes, MOST. However we still have enough true ministers that we call, Remnant Pastors, to turn this series of events around. These are Faithful, true men of God. They can be found. Let us strive to get together, and work together to reclaim our pulpits and drive out the fakes.

Electronic license plates hit Bay Area, allow for custom message, GPS tracking

Traceable electronic license plates will likely become the new norm on every vehicle as government bureaucrats push for a total and complete police state technocracy

By Shepard Ambellas - May 29, 2018 @9:32 am, Tue

SACRAMENTO (INTELLIHUB) — Reviver Auto will be the first to market electronic license plates in the state of California which will allow for the vehicle’s administrator to display custom messages and track the vehicle’s location. However, the technology appears to be a dual-edged sword, to some extent, as it may also be extremely advantageous for select businesses, law enforcement agencies, and those in the private sector who feel a need to monitor the whereabouts of a specific vehicle, its driver, and/or its passengers at any given time. The pricey plates will retail at Bay Area dealerships for $699 as part of a Department of Motor Vehicles pilot program that’s aiming to make those old yearly stick-on tags a thing of the past, as users of the new technology will be allowed to update their vehicle registrations online which may be more convenient. Although, such convenience will come with a monthly fee of $7, which comes to $84 yearly. In terms of the unit, much like electronic pad or eBook, each unit comes equipped with its own data processing and storage chips, an Internet up-link, and a battery which enables the vehicle displaying the plate to then be tracked in real time. According to a report out of the Sacramento Bee: “Under the pilot program rules, the state can allow up to one-half of 1 percent of the state’s 35 million vehicles — or about 175,000 vehicles — to use the plates during the test period.” Right now about 120 vehicles in the state are equipped with the new electronic plates but the number is expected to steadily rise as the demand increases. At least 24 of the 120 vehicles equipped with the new plate system are government-operated. The city of Sacramento has become the first city in the United States to test out the new technology which the city is now using on its 24 vehicle in-house fleet.

Whole Foods Quietly Halts GMO Labeling Requirements

Published: May 28, 2018 Source: Brandon Turbeville

A year after Whole Foods was acquired by internet retail giant Amazon, the food company is backing off its commitment to ensuring that food suppliers inform the consumer and the store itself if their food products contain GMOs. There is some confusion about the decision by Whole Foods to walk back on its commitment but one thing is for sure – it is walking back. It an email sent by Whole Foods President and Chief Operations Officver A.C. Gallo announced that the company is pausing its GMO Food labeling requirements. The requirements, which were scheduled to take effect on September 1, would have required that suppliers disclose on their packaging whether or not their products contained genetically modified ingredients. The requirements, which were announced five years ago, were three months away from being implemented. As Business Insider reports, In a copy of the announcement obtained by The New Food Economy, Gallo and two vice presidents write that the pause is a response to suppliers' concerns about having to comply with two competing sets of rules: Whole Foods' own GMO labeling requirements, and rules newly proposed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), which are currently open for public comment. "As the USDA finalizes the federal regulation in the coming months and the food industry assesses the impact, we do not want our Policy to pose further challenges for you and your business," the letter reads. All this begs a question: is Whole Foods softening its commitment to GMO-labeling transparency? The confusion is understandable. As currently proposed, the USDA policy would make several substantive changes to the way GMOs have traditionally been defined by the food industry — starting with the terminology itself. The government's preferred nomenclature is "bioengineered" (BE), which only refers to a food that has had another organism's genes spliced into it by a process called transgenesis. Other types of genetic modification, including some produced by gene-editing tools like CRISPR, would not need to be labeled. As currently written, Whole Foods' requirements would be more stringent than the proposed USDA rules in at least two significant ways. First, USDA has suggested letting companies label BE ingredients by QR code, meaning that customers would need to be directed to a website via smartphone to find out what's in their food — a method that has been criticized as a cumbersome extra step. Whole Foods has never planned to allow QR codes to count as GMO disclosures, Project Nosh reports. Second, USDA rules contain perplexing carveouts for meat products, which are regulated under a different system, as explained here and here. Whole Foods now faces a choice: It can move forward with its original plan, or defer to the government's less comprehensive new rules. The company has the ability to be clearer and more stringent than the federal regulations, requiring all foods that might contain genetically modified ingredients to say as much. Deferring to USDA rules would, instead, require only that some GMO-containing products are labeled as such — likely a sore point for non-GMO advocates, and not necessarily great for the Whole Foods brand. It would mean that a company that's long claimed the moral high ground would be no more transparent, as far as GMO labeling goes, than any other grocery store. The chain’s new position is in direct contrast to the one it announced five years ago in 2013 when co-CEO Walter Robb said in a statement that “We are putting a stake in the ground on GMO labeling to support the consumers’ right to know.” Unfortunately, Whole Foods has pulled up the stake on their promise. It remains to be seen how much the corporation will be hurt by this move since a sizeable portion of their customer base is opposed to consuming GMOs.

Citizens Fight Back as City Fines and Arrests Them for Cracked Driveways, Improperly Stacked Firewood

May 28, 2018 By Jack Burns

Doraville, GA – A city has been named as a defendant in a lawsuit from residents who claim that they have received tickets and have even been threatened with arrest and sentenced to court-ordered probation for the crime of having a cracked driveway, chipped paint on their houses, and overgrown vegetation or improperly stacked firewood in their yards. Hilda Brucker, a 25-year-resident of Doraville, said she was placed on criminal probation for “Rotted wood on house and chipping paint on fascia boards,” “High weeds in backyard and ivy on tree and vines on house,” and a “Driveway in a state of disrepair,” according to the lawsuit against the city. The town is being accused of setting up its own court with the city attorney acting as prosecutor and judge. Code enforcement officials, in conjunction with local law enforcement fine residents for such infractions. In essence, the town has transformed itself into a giant homeowners’ association where the only major difference is that the town has the power to place code violators in jail. The plaintiffs in the lawsuit claim the reason the city is comporting as judge, jury, and executioner over petty yard issues is that the town’s budget is driven largely by expected ticketing revenue. In other words, the town allegedly worked into the budget revenue spending over $3 million based solely on the prospect of being able to issue traffic citations, code violation citations, etc. Brucker said she was forced to pay a $100 fine and was placed on a 6-month probationary prison sentence. She even had to pay her $100 to her probation officer, not the town of Doraville directly. Terms of her probation for the violations included, “reporting to a probation officer, avoiding alcoholic intoxication, and cooperating with code enforcement upon request.” If the allegations are true, a citizen’s constitutional rights have been infringed upon solely because her home and yard were displeasing to a town official. Now, the city is stepping into her private life by claiming she should be limited in the amount of alcohol she can drink, and if she breaks the terms of her probation, she could possibly face prison time. Plaintiff Jeffery Thornton was also charged with code enforcement violations for having a woodpile behind his home. He used the wood for campfires and for his woodworking hobby but code calls for any wood to be cut to 4x4x8-foot pile dimensions. When code enforcement officials came to his home they ticketed him for the way he kept his wood and for having a screen leaning against his home. When Thornton failed to appear in court—he said he was never notified of the fines—an arrest warrant was issued for him. After going to the Doraville Municipal Court, he was placed on trial for his wood pile and found guilty. Thornton was then fined $1,000. After telling the judge he could not afford to pay, the judge reduced the fine to $300 and placed him on 12 months of probation. But when he still couldn’t pay, all the charges against him were dropped. His attorneys allege that the charges, the arrest warrant, the trial, the fines, and the probation were all about getting money and not about keeping anyone safe. Even though Doraville has just over 8,000 residents, its municipal court sees 15,000 cases per year, which typically brings in revenue in excess of $3 million—$1 million from traffic tickets alone. The city criminalizes violators of its city code with misdemeanors, a fine of $1,000 and the potential of spending a year in jail. Its town attorney acts as prosecutor and judge, and the revenue brought in by fining and ticketing its residents makes up 30 percent of the city’s annual budget. It has even been reported that Doraville’s police officers write up to 40 traffic tickets per day! And because 46 percent of the town’s budget goes to fund the police department, the plaintiffs’ attorneys allege that the town—as well as the police—have been “incentivized” to go after residents. On average, the residents reportedly pay $900 per person in fines per year. When residents cannot pay, their assets are confiscated and sold at auction by way of civil asset forfeiture. According to the lawsuit, the plaintiffs allege that the police are working in conjunction with the town to bilk its residents out of their hard-earned money. They are asking the U.S. District Court to declare the city of Doraville’s budgeting practices, its court system of generating revenue, and its practice of policing for profit, unconstitutional and a violation of their Fourteenth Amendment rights to Due Process. They are also seeking a monetary fine of $1. If the plaintiffs win in court, Doraville will have to readjust its budget NOT to include code violations, criminal citations, fines, and traffic tickets. In other words, they just want the U.S. court to step in and put an end to the judicial and police tyranny that exists in the town. In their minds, enough is enough! Unfortunately, practices such as the ones seen in the city of Doraville are not uncommon. An elderly couple in St. Peters, Missouri, was forced to plant turf grass on their lawn, even though the wife was allergic to it; and a man in Dallas, Texas, was threatened with fines for not mowing his grass while he was in the hospital, recovering from burns he received after a gas leak resulted in an explosion in his home.

There are many “xx items that go first after SHTF” lists out there on the internet. Most are the same old outdated stuff rehashed over and over. Some are just terrible, written by bloggers looking for something else to write, and some are decent but usually contain items specific to one scenario or another that may not apply to other situations. Eventually everything will be gone if you wait long enough, but if you look at actual events such as a major hurricane here in the USA, the Greece financial meltdown, the collapse of USSR, the war in Syria, the situation in Venezuela, or any poor country that has been hit by a major disaster you’ll quickly see a pattern of items that disappear at the very beginning of a panic buying rush. I have tried to condensed this pattern down to only 72 items and categorized them, here they are in no particular order. Food & Supplies Bottled Water will be the first to go without fail. Canned Foods. People will just shove them into their carts without even looking at the labels. Another good barter item. Rice, Beans, Wheat, Flour and Yeast. All these basic ingredients will be traded in mass and quickly hoarded. Other grains whether marked for human or animal consumption will be hoarded quickly. Water Filters/Purifiers including bleach will be impossible to find after the first few days. Charcoal. Anyone without access to firewood will begin hoarding this immediately as they will see it as the only way to cook their food. Deer and wild game may be shot and wiped from your local area quickly. This is a heavily debated topic but at the very least all the non-hunters trampling through the woods will make them harder to find. Chickens, goats, cows, pigs and all other other forms of livestock will be worth their weight in gold, if not more. They will be hidden, hoarded, stolen, slaughtered, traded and sold quickly. Cooking Oils will go fast. They can also be used to make oil lamp Milk, both powdered and condensed. Salt is a precious and portable commodity. Salt has long been a cornerstone of economies throughout history. Greek slave traders often bartered salt for slaves, giving rise to the expression that someone was “not worth his salt.” Roman legionnaires were paid with salt—salarium, the Latin origin of the word “salary.” It is a vital nutrient and is used to preserve meat. At less than $.40 a pound salt makes a great barter item to stock up on, especially if it goes back to its pre-modern prices. Cast iron pots and dutch ovens are long lasting and are made to be used over an open fire.

Gardening Supplies such as seeds, books, and tools.

Canning supplies including the jars, lids, pressure cookers, pectin, and other supplies. Most stores do not many canning supplies (even walmart has at best one shelf full?) so just a small handful of people could easily clean out an entire store.

Jerky and other long lasting meats. Could snappin’ into a slim-jim save your life? Doubt it, I think roadkill has more nutrients (and more meat).

Teas, Coffee, Gatoraide and Koolaides. Instant, ground, bagged, and the pouches will go fast but not as fast as other items.

Medicine & Health

Hygiene supplies such as shampoo, toothbrushes and toothpaste, feminine hygiene products, mouthwash, floss, etc

First aid kits

OTC meds. Tylenol, Advil, cold & flu, cough syrup. Caffeine and sugar withdrawals are going to make everyone feel like crap at first. Expect heavy pain reliever use the first few weeks (especially for headaches and general soreness).

Toilet Paper, Kleenex, Toilet Paper, Paper Towels, and Toilet Paper. Did I mention toilet paper?

Vitamins and Herbal Supplements. Taking a daily vitamin could mean the different between surviving comfortably or dying from a nutrient deficiency disease such as scurvy.

Wine/Liquors will not be on the shelves for long. They are also good bartering tools, can be used medicinally, and are useful for making many herbal medicines (vodka is good for this).

Gas masks, if they can be found, will fly off the shelves because of tear gas etc, and for the non-preppers, the “cool factor” of having a piece of actual survival gear will compel them to grab one.

Baby/Toddler Supplies Things like formula, cloth diapers, wash cloths, and even cheap toys can mean a lot as barter items if you do not need them yourself.

More Advanced Surgical and Medicinal Items. I’m dealing mostly with store bought items in this list but hospitals, urgent care, and veterinary clinics will be cleaned out quickly once they are shut down.

Camping & Outdoor

shtf-empty-shelves-food-shortage

Guns, cleaning kits, ammo, misc hunting and camping supplies. Pretty much anything in hunting and camping isles will be cleaned out and gone almost immediately.

Flashlights, lanterns, and glowsticks. And don’t forget the batteries or fuel.

Bow saws, axes and hatchets, wedges, machetes, hunting knives, sharpening stones and honing oil.

Fishing supplies/toolsHunting wild game requires more knowledge than fishing. Everyone knows or can quickly learn how to fish.

Camo and hunting clothes, kevlar body armor.

Bug traps and sprays, and mice traps. mmmmm, rat stew.

Tarps, plastic rolls, stakes, duct tape, twine, nails, rope, hammers and spikes or anything that can be used to fasten down something or improvise an shelter.

Survival and medical related magazines, books and guides. All those lacking even the basic skills needed to grow food and survive will look for any information available.

Wagons, wheelbarrows and carts (including shopping carts) will become a great way to transport things around.

Gasoline Containers or anything that could be a gas or water container.

Lumber and other building supplies.

Clothes pins/line/hangers are often overlooked but important prepping items. They make life without a washing machine and dryer much easier.

Insulated ice chests are half decent makeshift baskets and can keep items from freezing in the winter.

Gloves. Gloves, gloves, and more gloves. They can keep you warm and protect your hands.

Work boots, belts, blue jeans, thick socks.

Cold weather clothing and weather clothing. Look for wool or polyester. Avoid cotton in the winter.

Have you ever thought about living without electricity, internet or mobiles? We can guarantee that the majority of our readers can never imagine this kind of scenarios.

However, there are chances that this type of conditions arises in your life due to flooding, tornadoes, draught or even war.

How could you survive in this type of dangerous condition? We believe you should stay prepared by learning the essential skills needed to deal with these disasters, watching this video

Household Odds & Ins

Candles Lots of them, but unscented and long burning. Stocking up on scented candles can be a real mistake. That fresh linen smell or peppermint orange will really get annoying after several weeks of daily use.

Bleach. Make sure you get plain, NOT scented: 4 to 6% sodium hypochlorite bleach. Read the labels because, yes, you will be using this to purify your drinking water.

Knives & Sharpening tools are worth mentioning on their own. Carbon steel knives are better than stainless. Sharpening stones are a must. Possibly the best all around knife you could ever buy is a high carbon steel Mora knife ($10 on Amazon with free shipping). The material is harder than stainless steel and they have a Scandinavian grind that makes them extremely sharp, durable, and even easier to resharpen than most knives.

Backpacks, Duffel Bags. Don’t miss this. Everyone in your house should have at least one good quality good backpack or even a hiking bag. Hauling, supply runs, and bugging out are some of their many uses. Duffle bags might be cheaper but are a real pain to walk with compared to a backpack.

Large garbage cans and garbage bags can be used for trash, storage, water collection, hauling goods etc. Garbage bags have dozens and dozens of uses, the thick 55 gallon size being the best.

Cleaning and disinfecting supplies

Paper, pads, pencils, sharpeners, pens, and solar calculators

Sleeping Bags, Blankets, Pillows, Mats and Inflatable Mattresses. A manually operated handheld pump is a must if you want an inflatable mattress.

Buckets of all sizes and shapes. They will be used extensively. You never know how bad you need a container until you do not have one.

Plastic Wrap and Insulation

Glue, duct tape, nails, nuts, bolts, screws

Portable Toilets or 5 gallon bucket toilet lids.

Weapons, not just guns and ammo but also pepper spray, knives, clubs, bats, tasers, slingshots, pellet rifles.

Washboards, plungers, mop buckets with a wringer for your laundry.

Aluminum foil. The regular and heavy duty kinds can be used for cooking and to harness some power from the sun for purifying water and cooking.

Brooms, shovels, rakes, pitchforks, pick axes, hoes, general gardening tools.

Animal Control Products such as cage traps, dog collars and runners, etc.

Other Items Worth Having

Bibles. 83% percent of Americans identify themselves as Christians, and many more will find their religion when the SHTF. Bibles will be in demand and can be used to barter items. A box of 100 small Bibles cost about $20.

Prescription medications. How will you continue your medications without a pharmacy?

Duct Tape and Electrical Tape can fix just about anything.

Bicycles with tires, tubes, repair kits, pumps, chains, etc Bikes will become extremely valuable as they are the most efficient method of transportation.

Hand pumps & siphons for gas, water, oil.

Cigarettes A good bartering item, but salt is probably a better one.

Generators will fly off the shelves. Buy now cause nothing will be available when they are needed. Options include solar, gas, diesel, propane, and kerosene. Generators are loud and people will kill over generators.

Seasoned Firewood seasoned for 6 – 12 months.

Lighters, matches, flint and steel fire starters, fire pistons A good rule of thumb is get 3x more than you think you will need. And just in case you never heard of fire piston, it is a handheld device that can start a fire with just air, so it makes a great addition to any plan.

Batteries Buy all sizes and look at the expiration dates. Rechargeable batteries are ideal but more costly. Don’t forget about 12v car batteries and solar recharger stations.

Solar Power Most people cannot go full solar but a basic (and portable) system could be built for a few hundred dollars and could power a few basic necessities when necessary.

Smoke house and a root cellar can be invaluable for processing and storing food.

Gold and Silver will be the new currency when things begin to settle but not so much during an ongoing situation. Gold and silver coins don’t matter much when you have no food.

Motorcycles cheap(er), easy to maintain and gas goes a long way.

shtf-waiting-buy-food-shortage

Extra items worth mentioning

A good manual or belt operated grain grinder would be a valuable tool. Put together a bug out bag (BOB) for every member of your family and set up multiple meeting areas around your neighborhood.

Walkie Talkies are great but remember to buy rechargeable batteries and a solar battery charger. Print out or copy any important documents you may need (especially ones online) now instead of later. Build any buildings you need ,such as a smoke house or root cellar, now instead of later. Stock up on some motor oil, it can be used to lubricate and protect metal items and tools.

Final Thoughts

These items will become so much more valuable after a SHTF situation happens, so now is the time to stock up on these things before something was to happen.

Think about when a hurricane is heading towards the United States. How quick does water, bread and other supplies sell out? When the SHTF people will start panicking and looting. All these items will be gone super quick so this is very important to go ahead and get some of these items. Plus they are good for bartering. So win-win.

Americans Content with Loss of Freedom

Is it true that natural born citizens no longer cherish their personal freedom? What about the hordes of immigrant refugees that flock across our borders, do they have a desire to embrace the goals set down by the Founding Fathers or are these principles foreign to their mindset? Freedom is a concept that has many meaning to different peoples. However, the essence of historic and traditional freedom is always consistent with the way the individual is treated by the government that claims jurisdiction over their citizenship. Today, being a legal citizen matter little in a society that refuses to defend its borders and opens the floodgates to aliens who have as much in common with descendants of the original thirteen colonies as a transplant from a different galaxy. Freedom shares the same definition as obscenity. When Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart stated, "I know it when I see it", he inadvertently provided a clue on how to view freedom. Sadly, society pushes the former, while extinguishing the latter. Look no further than to the Gallop Poll, Americans Less Satisfied With Freedom. "Fewer Americans are satisfied with the freedom to choose what they do with their lives compared with seven years ago -- dropping 12 percentage points from 91% in 2006 to 79% in 2013. In that same period, the percentage of Americans dissatisfied with the freedom to choose what they do with their lives more than doubled, from 9% to 21%." Definitive assessments as to the nature of a national issue, seldom reached by taking a sample of public sentiment, can be valuable as a gauge of trends and direction of attitudes. Expressing doubt regarding prospects for a better future is significant. If the chances for upward mobility are bleak, the unwashed masses will do little to clean up the social, political and economic system and demand that the country returns to an opportunity society. The courageous publisher of The American Dream, Michael Snyder, always reliable for insightful information and inferences, makes important points in the article, 79 Percent Of Americans Are Completely Okay With The Current Level Of Tyranny. "If most people believe that everything is "just fine", then our leaders are going to feel free to keep doing the same things that they have been doing. That is why it is so frustrating that so many American "sheeple" appear to be so apathetic about the loss of our freedoms and our liberties." Remember that Mr. Snyder uses the same Gallop Poll in his essay. By stating that "The good news is that Gallup has asked this question many times before, and over the years the percentage of Americans that are satisfied with the level of freedom in this country has been going down", may seems to give hope that Americans are starting to wake up. Nonetheless, the accurate brilliance from his appraisal comes from the negative reality, "The bad news is that most of the country still appears to be deeply asleep. Our liberties and freedoms are eroding with each passing day, and most Americans simply do not care." Read the entire list in his column and judge for yourself. How you react to the litany of lost freedoms tells more about you than any poll will ever say about the current attitudes. The glass half full has become a mug with a broken bottom. Cut to the end game and watch the short video, The NDAA Explained in 3 Minutes. Here is the challenge for any person who claims to calls themselves an American. If you can live with the tyrannical destruction of individual legal protections, encapsulated within the NDAA draconian despotism, respond with your argument and justification. BREAKING ALL THE RULES will publish your defense of the police state, as written. Our position is clear and emphatic. Maintaining the facade of government legitimacy in the face of brutal and systemic destruction of individual rights is untenable in any country that claims freedom is alive and administered fairly. Lest we forget, LIBERTY is a far greater and nobler foundation for government than mere arbitrary lack of restrictions. Yet the establishment half-truths from that same Gallop Poll would have you believe: "The decline in perceived freedom among Americans could be attributed to the U.S. economy. Many Americans continue to lack confidence in the economy and see it as one of the biggest problems facing the country. On the other hand, there are signs that Americans' attitudes toward the economy are improving. Compared with the days after the economic recession, Americans are feeling better about the national economy, spending habits in the U.S. have nearly recovered, and U.S. self-reported job creation has rebounded, if not improved." Obviously, the man on the street does not need to hear that the economy is drowning. Review the business articles on Negotium and Corporatocracy for case studies on the numerous assaults upon genuine free enterprise, from crony capitalism and collectivist statism. More closely to the truth, Gallop continues: "Among Americans, perceptions of widespread corruption in their government have been generally increasing over the past seven years. Perceived widespread corruption in the U.S. government could be on the rise for several reasons, including the significant media attention on issues such as the IRS targeting of conservative groups and the National Security Agency leaks. Americans not only feel that the U.S. government is performing poorly, as demonstrated by record-low congressional approval ratings, but they also report that the U.S. government itself is one of the biggest problem facing the country today." Such loss in freedom is self-evident, under corrupt bipartisan administrations for decades, which has become the rule. Still, the public has not achieved a critical mass of outrage and while dissatisfaction is growing, rebellion now characterized as an act of terror, is not an option for most lethargic vassals. The apathy of contaminated water comes from a much deeper cause than just fluoridated additives. The responsibility of civic duty does not mean blind obedience, especially when Bill of Right guarantees are routinely swept away. Often the popular culture treats civil liberties as the sole dimension of the left. This treatment ignores the actual foundation for individual freedom that is rooted in Conservative Civil Liberties. "The essence of conservative civil liberties links the relationship that all natural rights are bestowed with the ability for moral conduct by way of an orderly system that protects the exercise of individual rights. All the confusion about authentic conservatism and the misleading emphasis that civil liberties are the bailiwick of progressives, ignore the intellectual underpinnings of the traditional defenders of our heritage." It is because governments on every level of jurisdiction, ignore or worse yet, conspire to eradicate the common law that our once proud nation has sunk into the cesspool of authoritarianism. Another vocal voice for freedom, the Washingtons Blog, provides a valuable resource on information in analyzing the Bill of Rights, Americans Have Lost VIRTUALLY ALL of Our Constitutional Rights. Take the time to examine the long record of betrayal. So why do the vast majority accept the loss of freedom? Simply put, most Americans are cowards. Yes, the majority prove they are stupid by choice, but how do you explain when someone understands the depraved application of illicit authority and does nothing to resist? Fear of reprisals is an incomplete answer for those who want to find an easy way out of confronting the lack of self-respect in the hearts and souls of anyone who just sits back and watches the uninterrupted march into oblivion. If you listen to the idiocy form NeoCon John McCain that, "please remember there’s nothing nobler than serving a cause greater than your own self-interest", or Skull and Bones - George W. Bush, "someday understand what it means to serve a cause greater than self", you are a sucker for the pious and sanctimonious preaching of a Statist worshiper. The correct viewpoint against the supremacy of the state, cited by Edward H. Crane in the essay, The Fallacy of a Cause Greater than Yourself, explains the distinction – "it is all about is the radical phrase, "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness." It is to secure these rights that proper governments are instituted." Are you ready for the truth? Just read the Varying Verity topic on Freedom. "Freedom requires individual action. Government can never be tamed without continuous confrontation. The State never raises the level of freedom for they are in the business of maintaining control. People create freedom when they defy the seducement of the charlatan, posing as a public benefactor. Civic institutions project the illusion of security and stability, for the mere price of surrendering personal freedom." Most people cannot handle the truth, so they capitulate to the conventional acceptance that government needs to define freedom. Lost in the tyranny of the majority is relevance of the Mahatma Gandhi truism, "Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is still the truth." There lies America’s contentment with their loss of freedom.

What Is The Media So Terrified About? Huge Fake News Stories Exposed In Just Days As MSM Desperately Tries To Distract The Masses

May 28, 2018 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

Multiple viral MSM stories, over the course of the last week, have turned out to be completely false, misleading, and have been exposed publicly as "fake news, leading to deleted promotions and excuses, while others are still sharing them as if they are true. The sheer amount and strangeness of them, in just the last week alone, indicates something is about to break and the media is desperately trying to find something that will distract the public from paying attention to it. CHILDREN IN CAGES DURING OBAMA'S PRESIDENCY SHARED WITH CLAIMS THAT TRUMP DID IT First Fake News Story: Images of children of illegal immigrants in cages, from 2014, shared like mad by the media and celebrities claiming "first photos," while blaming president Trump (who was not the president in 2014.) Journalists, celebrities and other blue-checked verified accounts at Twitter then start deleting those tweets and images after finding out that OOPS, that didn't happen under President Trump, it happened during Obama's presidency. In a now-deleted tweet ex Obama staffer Jon Favreau shared an image of children sleeping in cages, with a the message "First glimpse of immigrant children at holding facility. This is happening right now, and the only debate that matter is how we force our government to get these kids back to their families as fast as humanly possible." Others pushed the same narrative, such as CNN's Hadas Gold, NYT Magazine Jake Silverstein, Former special assistant to Obama, Jon B. Wolfsthal, along with dozens of other prominent liberals. The article all these people linked to, was from AZ Central, dated June 2014. AZArticle2014.jpg The mass-delete movement began, with the CNN reporter, the ex Obama staffer, and dozens of others deleting like mad, because sure, it was an OUTRAGE, until it became something that happened under Obama, then suddenly it was move along, nothing to see here. Others kept their original share up, while trying to change the topic into "But, children are being separated from their parents," oh the humanity! Yet not one places the blame where it belongs, on parents attempting to illegally enter the United States, breaking the law while knowing it will separate their family. Despite the truth coming out on May 27, liberals all across the internet continued to spread the fake news, claiming the images were new, throughout May 28th, as documented in-depth by Twitchy here, here, here and here. Related: Caged Migrant Children Photo Goes Viral As Left Rages At Trump; Except It Happened Under Obama DOUBLE DOSE OF MSM FAKERY Second Fake News Story: Another image shared by ABC13Houston's Antonio Arellano, showed a bus outfitted with baby seats, with the message "ICE's largest family detention center, Karnes County Residential Center in Texas, run by contractor GEO Group, has a prison bus just for babies." (Image of his tweet below in case he deletes it) The reactions were expressions of horror and attacks on President Trump. One user stated "We have entered the "Crimes Against Humanity" phase of the Trump regime." Ana Navarro, the "fake conservative" contributor for CNN and ABC News, dramatically declared "America, this cannot be who we are." Hollywood has-been Ron Perlman, never one to miss an opportunity to attack President Trump with manufactured claims, shared the story from Arellano's tweet, and said "The anger, the cynicism, the hatred, the sickness that goes into this act. Small, tiny, ugly people assaulting everything worth living for, from the Bible to the Constitution. Session, of course. Trump, of course. Ugly wannabes. But Gen Kelly, you are a disgrace to the uniform!" Tens of thousands of retweets, shares, exclamations of horror, (which they were called out for in their comment threads!) as the story went viral, but this one was a double dose of fakery as 1) The original claim that it was a "prison bus" was a complete and utter lie, as can be seen in the actual article content, for those that bothered to even click the article where they found that 2) It was from 2016, you know, when Barack Obama was president. So, those claiming this was recent, showing they didn't even bother to read the article, and blaming president Trump, were pushing fake news and the original person that shared, along with others were spreading more fake news because it wasn't a "prison bus," but was specially outfitted to transport immigrant children for field trips, to movies, the zoo, etc...... as the article in question, from April 2016, quite clearly described. The expansion created new demands to an already unique transportation mission by requiring larger capacity vehicles to provide offsite field trips. These field trips are part of the contract with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Field trips are provided to all children, ages four through seventeen enrolled in educational programs provided by the John H. Wood Charter School, located at KCRC. Field trips consist of going to a variety of places, such as the San Antonio Zoo, seeing a movie at the local theater, going to the park, etc. The article also explained that each bus was "outfitted with standard commercial grade cushioned seating. Each seat has a convertible child safety seat and is equipped with a DVD system with four drop down screens to provide entertainment to the children with onboard movies during transport missions." Despite the entire premise of "baby prison buses" and the implication that this is "new" news having been debunked, the original article has already been shared over 200 more times, and liked over 200 more times, just in the time it took to write the last five paragraphs for this article. That number does not include how many more continue to repeat the lies of Navarro, Perlman and all the other brain-dead liberals that couldn't be bothered to even read the article before helping the fake news go viral. NOTE: Before getting into the other examples, from just the last week alone, of misleading MSM narratives, I would like to highlight the strangeness of these two previous examples. Unlike the majority of the "fake news" scandals that have plagued the Mockingbird Media over the last two years, these were not articles where some unnamed source got somehting wrong, or where the media selectively edited a statement to push a false narrative. The two examples above were actually linked to articles from 2014 and 2016, where the truth was clearly available by looking at the date of the linked article or even the content, yet there was a coordinated push, even by some former Obama staffers and officials, along with major media outlets, to make a completely fake narrative go viral. The strangeness of the easily disproved attacks against President Trump, and of this level of desperation to distract, will be addressed in my analysis after the next example of the MSM misleading the public, below. #WHEREARETHECHILDREN COMPLETELY FAKE NARRATIVE The fake news: CNN, Washington Post, NYT, USA Today and a ton of other liberal outlets and writers are busy telling their audience that the U.S. government has "lost" nearly 1,500 immigrant children. The truth is the U.S. government, via the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), releases unaccompanied minors that show up on the U.S. border to parents, relatives and/or other non-related sponsors within the U.S., as explained in congressional testimony by HHS official Steven Wagner. In FY 2017, children typically stayed in ORR custody for 51 days and so far in FY 2018 (through March) average length of stay has been 56 days. ORR releases the majority of UAC to sponsors. In FY 2017, ORR released 93 percent of children to a sponsor. Of those, ORR released 49 percent to parents, 41 percent to close relatives, and 10 percent to other-than-close relatives or non-relatives. In FY 2018, we have released 90 percent of children to individual sponsors and of those sponsors, 41 percent were parents, 47 percent were close relatives, and 11 percent were other-than-close relatives or non-relatives. ORR then arranges safety and well-being calls 30 days after settling the child with their families or sponsors. Here is the part of the testimony to which the Mockingbird Media is claiming the U.S. government "lost" children. From October to December 2017, ORR attempted to reach 7,635 UAC and their sponsors. Of this number, ORR reached and received agreement to participate in the safety and well-being call from approximately 86 percent of sponsors. From these calls, ORR learned that 6,075 UAC remained with their sponsors. Twenty-eight UAC had run away, five had been removed from the United States, and 52 had relocated to live with a non-sponsor. ORR was unable to determine with certainty the whereabouts of 1,475 UAC. Based on the calls, ORR referred 792 cases, which were in need of further assistance, to the National Call Center for additional information and services. The children were no longer in U.S. custody, the majority were handed over to parents or other relatives with a small percentage being placed with non-relative sponsors, but the ORR wasn't able to contact those sponsors, so the media screams THE CHILDREN ARE LOST! No, they are with their families and/or sponsors, and ORR simply couldn't reach them when they called. Huge difference, but as highlighted by the two examples of older articles being represented as new, the media assumes people will only pay attention to the headline, not the actual content, so they can push a massively misleading narrative to attack the Trump administration. Rich Lowry over at National Review describes the media's behavior, using the USA Today piece as his examples, stating "It’s a piece that’s a pretty good example of how “fake news” works — there’s some factual basis for the claim, but it’s exaggerated or misunderstood, and then fed into the maw of the perpetual outrage cycle, in this case about the alleged extreme carelessness and heartlessness of the Trump administration toward migrant children." Related: Media Double Down After New York Times Gets Busted Peddling Fake News BOTTOM LINE ANALYSIS - DESPERATE TO DISTRACT The last example, and the related link to a fourth fake news example, is the same type of deliberately misleading storyline the media has been caught pushing throughout the past two years, but the first two examples take it to a whole new level, with former Obama administrative officials, along with major media outlets, quite literally pushing old articles, while claiming they were new in order to attack President Trump. Not even the pretense of doing any "investigating" (which would have included clicking a link and looking at the date of the article) or reporting, just commenting on someone elses fake news post, pretending to be outraged to force it to go viral. This is a whole new level of desperation to distract and the one huge question is "why?" What exactly is getting ready to break that is making them so desperate they are willing to throw an unprecedented amount of crap at a wall to see if they can get some to stick? There is only one thing expected to be released soon, described as "explosive," which has had the media, the FBI, DOJ, former Obama officials, and Hillary Clinton tense and on edge, and that is the upcoming DOJ Inspector General report which is supposed to detail the wrongdoing, and misconduct on the part of intelligence agencies during the Obama presidency. The initial report was finished a few weeks ago, and was handed to the appropriate parties involved in order for them to present a response that would be added to the IG's findings. The release of the report is expected to also include criminal referrals by the IG against certain former, perhaps current, members of the agencies. Those that have seen the report had to sign NDA's (Non-disclosure agreements) while awaiting the IG to add their responses to finalize the report and then release it. Via former member of Congress, Jason Chaffetz last Friday: With the credibility of Michael Horowitz behind it and the access to internal documents Congress has been denied, the soon-to-be released report on the Clinton emails should carry a great deal of weight. I believe it represents our best shot yet to actually uncover the secrets hiding in the bowels of President Obama’s highly politicized Justice Department. No one knows the frustration of trying to hold government agencies accountable more acutely than I do. When I served in the House of Representatives, I saw firsthand how good officials in the Obama Justice Department became at hiding their tracks, stonewalling Congress, evading federal records laws, manipulating the media narrative, and ultimately escaping accountability. Fortunately for the American people, the truth is going to come out. When it does, the Trump administration must act swiftly and decisively to send a strong message that the investigative tools of the Justice Department should never be used as political weapons. While this is admittedly speculative, given the the fact that the FBI, DOJ and other intelligence agencies have been leaking like a sieve to the press, with the first IG report issuing a criminal referral against former FBI director Andrew McCabe, finding that he not only lied multiple times, even under oath, but also leaked to the press, it is not a stretch of the imagination at all to think that one or more of the parties that have seen the report have given a heads up to the media. The media, playing their part to try to minimize the expected "eruption" over what will be real news of government corruption that led to the top of multiple intelligence agencies under Obama, they are carelessly, and sloppily, pushing old news, two to four year old news, without outright lies claiming it is "new" news, in an attempt to create such outrage over disinformation, that the IG report is ignored. Those of us that have been carefully watching the dribble of actual news regarding the high levels of corruption within the Obama administration, and have been awaiting the IG report, seeing the example of how in-depth and thorough the IG was in his last report, have expected there to be some huge news contained within the next one, but after seeing the media's antics this past week...... I think we have underestimated exactly how damning this new report will be.

This Is the Reality of the Venezuelan Collapse

by J. G. Martinez D.

Sometimes, even regular journalists, who are used to write about bad stuff as much as writing about good news, face nasty events that have to be documented, registered and broadcasted. It´s my guess that writers develop, on time, a thick layer of skin to resist all the things they see and experience. I am not used to some of the gross reality checks that I have found as collateral damage of this collapse. After becoming a father, some kind of internal re-wiring changes in the brain structure. Or it should change. Our sensitivity to kids welfare, for those who (like me) never even believed that someday would responsible of some little lads. This said, I just tripped a few days ago upon pictures of a dying baby. This is something really hard. It´s one of those things that really can´t be unseen. I believe in God because have studied enough sciences in my life to understand why there is no such thing as a dice game going down here. It seems to be all over the place. That incredible look in those eyes…I still remain deeply impressed. Having seen pictures of kids under those sad conditions all over the world, but far away enough to not being able to do nothing. But that baby was in my own country. In my own state and even in the city where we were living. That baby died of malnourishment in a world where food should be available. It is so deeply…disturbing…for lack of words. I can´t find words to explain these feelings in my own language, so you will have to excuse me if I can´t explain myself in English. This is what it is like in Venezuela now. Transportation has stopped. I received some reports this week, about how the general strike of the transport companies and private transport owners have stopped their services. This entire last week has been rough: no transport means it is increasingly difficult to attend work. Perhaps you did not know this, but the buses have been out of service for almost one year. People are using some cattle an vegetable trucks with makeshift restrainers and holders so the people can avoid falling. But even with this, a lot of dead people has resulted because of this improvised transport. I have been told that the transport issue is big these days and some had to get over a cattle truck to be able to get home. This said I believe that a nice small motorcycle, quad, or trike with some spares and enough oil changes for a couple of years (or maybe 3) would be a great thing to have. Of course, this would be for local transportation only, in secondary roads and not highways unless life or death situations. Remember I used my cruising motorcycle when my SUV engine went to meet the holy spirit, and I used it an entire year because I had the needed spares. Grocery shop, errands, school, rain or sun. Mostly burning sun. This vehicle should be very inconspicuous, and low profile (not like mine with a free exhaust that could be heard 2 kilometers away). It should be very common on the roads, and without any noticeable mods. I would suggest even a recumbent trike or cart. If you don´t have money, makeshift one. It should not be that hard, and it would be pretty useful. For us, it would have been a great vehicle because riding a heavy bike while it’s raining with your kid in the back is stressful enough, and even more if you know medical attention is not going to be available as it was once. Children are being abandoned. I just read that over 100 babies aged 1-36 months have been abandoned all over the country. For USA standards maybe this amount seems low. But in a country with a capital city barely over 4 million people I believe this is extremely high, given that we have a strong family tradition and whenever a relative can´t sustain one of his offsprings, a single aunt or granny appears to take care of the child. I myself have received at home a couple of my nephews when they were having a harsh time for a few months. They could overcome those times, though. What I mean, we don´t leave our kids behind. For this to happen with such small children, a real war-like collateral damage has to be happening. I am not exaggerating. This is happening. I am extremely mad because I see our health minister lying to the entire world about this. She defends the thugs in power, by saying there is no such thing as a humanitarian crisis while people are starving in the streets. This is a situation that has is repeating itself. It happened in Cambodia. It is just an advance of a delinquent mafia disguised as a political party. Now, please let me go back on track. The hyperinflation continues According to my last reports, the dollar is almost 1 million Bolivares, cash. Paypal and electronic currency is around 790-800K Bolivares. 1 kilogram is about 2 pounds, slightly over. Workers make the equivalent of $8 per month. Here is a small market list:

Beef 6.500.000 Bs/kg. – $65

Poultry 3.000.000 Bs/kg – $30

Pork 3.000.000 Bs/kg – $30

Ham 3.000.000 Bs/kg – $30

Cheese(white) 2.200.000 Bs/kg – $22

Wheat flour 950.000 Bs/kg – $9.50

Butter (one pound) 750.000 – $7.50

Onions 450.000Bs/kg – $4.50

Tomato 500.000 Bs/kg – $5.00

Potatoes 650.00 Bs/kg – $6.50

Eggplant 220.000 Bs/kg – $2.20

Carrots 300.000 Bs/kg – $3.00

This is something never seen. The monthly inflationary rate is unknown. There is no way the government officially delivers some numbers. There is no way to measure it because the prices all over the country seems to be subject to an entire underground economy. Some products are getting out of some small, very low profile farms in very small amounts, inside passenger cars, in a couple of coolers in the trunk. If there is any road control, the car driver has even the receipt of the staples. They usually travel with kids and wife in the car so they won´t be stopped. This has worked for those whom I suggested this as a means of getting their production out to the market, and there is an entire underground economy growing. As usual, lots of foreigners have come to take advantage of the situation. Chinese supermarkets owners are importing GARLIC from China. Can you believe it? We have a lot of fertile land 45 minutes away from my city, and these thugs prefer importing vegetables from China, with dollars “assigned” (I have come to hate that word) for some government functionary after getting paid a nice bribe (in dollars, of course). I told this to the owner, and in his supposedly limited Spanish (they understand more than they pretend to) he tried to explain that the farmers are charging too much money for their products. Nothing else than bull waste. I know they use the dollars that the government transfers them for 10 tons of garlic, so to speak, bring just one ton (overpricing the bill) and the remaining is kept in their accounts. That is why we are so screwed. They pay the dollar at 10 Bolivares per dollar. Sell them later in the black market at 1.000.000 bolivares. See my point?. The same has been done year after year under the currency exchange until it has drained the entire country. This is one of the reasons this guys don´t want to let loose the country. They have tons of properties bought under this scheme in the name of third parties so they don´t get linked to illegal activities. But a proper investigation would take down that giant cards castle. The turmoil is spreading About the social turmoil, it seems to be spreading, not so slowly, but it is enough to take a look and receive some reports of like-minded fellow “preppers” (perhaps a little bit primitive compared with our USA friends but they have been dealing with some hard stuff and they are on their feet still) all over the country. This time it is more than that, as the “opposition” party is no longer seen as a real opposition but instead as a collaborationist organization. Things are going to get funny, and I mean crazy funny. A cattle farmer was shot in the middle of the chest two weeks ago and a media news campaign followed to make him appear like a foreign paramilitary supporter by one guy now “nominated” to be the “defense” minister. Go figure. In the capital, there was a lot of Special Forces members that have been imprisoned for treason and conspiration. This is no joke. Those are serious words, especially these days, and with that band of thugs torturing people looking for information. The “good” part is, the testimony of those who are being tortured is going to be key in the coming trials. I just did some research about the Convention on Torture treaty that was ratified in 1994, and it was really enlightening. These guys don´t know really what they are doing, and desperation is always a bad advisor. The situation is slowly arriving at a non-return point. The troops are starting to feel more and more the effect of the scarcity. Their rations are smaller every week and this is reaching even in the social networks (a great tool for the rebels). Just as a side note, there is even a colonel imprisoned these last few days (and a general of the very own official party!! His name is Marcos Rodriguez Torres, one of the creators of the repressive institution of intelligence that I won´t name here). You can imagine the potential scenario. Thank God our house there is being inhabited by my dad and a good friends of ours…who happens to be a Scout and a prepper too. This is a brief report of the current situation. It is worse every day. I have been emotionally affected because of the effect in my city, where my child was born and where I was so happy, has been devastating to the most vulnerable populations. I have seen serious reports with dying babies, and it has been horrendous. I have seen pictures of my friends of the oil company, and they have lost lots of weight. Thanks for your time, and for your understanding. I ask God to bless all of us, that this nightmare ends soon, and we can start over again the rebuilding of our country as an immense brotherhood, including you, our brothers and sister from America

Ramadan Rage: Islamic Terrorists Kill at Least 203, Wound 322 in First 10 Days

By Edwin Mora 28 May 2018

Jihadists have killed more than 200 people and injured an excess of 300 others so far during Ramadan, the holiest month for Muslims, according to a Breitbart News tally. In the first ten days of the holy month, which started on May 17 for most Muslims across the world, the number of casualties reached at least 525 (203 deaths, 322 injuries). Islamic terrorists killed about 20 people and injured another 30 each day on average since the beginning of Ramadan. At least 52 attacks have taken place so far during the holy month. Many jihadists believe it is exceptionally heroic and Allah especially rewards “martyrdom” during the sacred month. Jihadist groups and other Islamists are known to urge their members and supporters to engage in jihad on Ramadan. Nevertheless, the majority of Muslims solely abide by Ramadan’s fasting tradition: abstaining from eating, drinking, smoking, having sex, and other physical needs each day, starting from before the break of dawn until sunset. So far this year, the Afghan Taliban appears to be the deadliest group, followed by the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL), which still poses a threat in the wake of the devastating loss it suffered in Iraq and Syria at the hands of the U.S.-led coalition and local forces. ISIS was the most prolific terrorist group last year, when Ramadan casualties reached 3,343 (1639 deaths, 1704 injuries), marking the bloodiest Muslim holy month in recent history. Breitbart News primarily gleans its tally from the Religion of Peace website in coordination with news and government reports. Given that news outlets and governments fail to report many of the terrorist attacks in real time, the casualty total for the first ten days is subject to change. Government officials may update some of the casualty totals as some of the injured victims succumb to their injuries, which may also prompt a change in the count after Breitbart News publishes this report. All the terrorist attacks so far during Ramadan 2018, as documented by Breitbart News, include:

Tragedy in Gaza

By Hal Lindsey

Gaza is an ongoing humanitarian disaster. In just the last few days, dozens of Gazans have needlessly died attacking the Israeli border. They were killed by Israeli soldiers defending said border. But that’s not the whole story. They were really killed by the people they entrusted with their spiritual and physical well-being. According to the Palestinians, a 10-month-old baby girl named Layla died on May 14th from inhalation of Israeli tear gas. They said nothing about the potential harm that may have come to Layla from the deep, black smoke of burning tires. Later, a Palestinian doctor at the hospital treating the child, admitted that she died of a pre-existing heart condition — not Israeli tear gas. Nevertheless, within hours, the Hamas PR machine turned the baby’s death into international rage against Israel. Almost universally, the media blamed Israel. But they ignored the more obvious question. Why was a 10-month-old present at these horrific, violent protests? The Los Angeles Times wrote that Layla’s 12-year-old cousin took her to the scene of the riots in search of the girl’s mother. He knew just how to get there. Hamas leaders provided buses to get as many people to the border as possible, regardless of their age. How many adults saw him board the bus carrying the infant? That bus was going to a war zone. The bus driver knew it. Every adult and young adult on that bus knew it. It didn’t matter. They let the baby go. Layla shouldn’t have been at the border. Her 12-year-old cousin shouldn’t have been there either. Neither should the cousin’s mother, or other family members. Did anyone really believe these women and children would successfully breach Israel’s line of defense? No. At least 35,000 Gazans went to that border because they were told to. Gaza’s political leadership, Hamas, worked with Gaza’s spiritual leaders, the Muslim imams, to whip the crowds into a fury. Hamas designed the event for a single purpose — to maximum Palestinian casualties. Monday the 14th was the 70th anniversary of Israel’s rebirth as a nation. It was also the day the US opened its embassy in Jerusalem. Hamas and their allies wanted split-screen TV coverage of the event. On one side of the TV screen, they wanted the festivities of the embassy opening. And on the other side, they wanted the screen to show death and mayhem. They got exactly that. Hamas created the riots at the border and staged them for television. They made certain there would be casualties. In fact, it is a tribute to the Israeli Defense Forces that more didn’t die. The media says the people of Gaza were reacting to their terrible living conditions. And from all accounts, those conditions are bad. People suffer from lack of food, jobs, money, education, and healthcare. But how did this happen? And why does the suffering continue despite billions in humanitarian aid pouring into the small area? Let’s go back to February of 2005. That’s when Israel did exactly what the Palestinians asked. They unilaterally pulled out of the Gaza Strip. Every Jew left the region. Israel got nothing. Palestinians got everything. For Israel, it was a straightforward show of goodwill. And Israel did not set the Gazans up to fail. In fact, they set them up to succeed. The Jews left millions of dollars in infrastructure. That included five hundred acres of sophisticated and expensive greenhouses. As Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza was being planned, NBC News said, “The greenhouses are a centerpiece of Palestinian plans for rebuilding Gaza.” But immediately following Israel’s withdrawal from the area, riots broke out across Gaza. During those riots, Palestinian mobs destroyed the greenhouses. Chaos reigned. It didn’t have to be that way. Israel wanted the Palestinians of Gaza to succeed. They wanted and needed a secure and stable neighbor. The nations of the world poured vast sums of money and materials into Gaza. It should have worked. Here’s why it did not work. Just a few weeks after Israel’s withdrawal, the people of Gaza elected a known terrorist group, Hamas, to govern them. With that choice, the Muslim people of Gaza chose hatred over happiness. They chose death over life. They chose rage over prosperity. They chose failure when success was ripe for the picking. A wide variety of both Muslim and non-Muslim nations have designated Hamas as a terrorist organization. They include Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Israel, the United States, Japan, the European Union, New Zealand, Australia, and the United Kingdom. Some of the suffering in Gaza comes from the isolation imposed on it by its two neighbors — Israel and Egypt. Why does Egypt limit what goes in and out of Gaza from their side of the border? Because they don’t want to import terrorism into their nation any more than Israel does. The biggest cause of suffering in Gaza is the corruption of the Hamas-led Gazan government. Hamas leaders live in luxury while nearby children go hungry. They line their pockets with money brought into Gaza for humanitarian relief. Much of what they don’t spend on themselves, they spend on strengthening the military arm of Hamas. When nations send concrete and steel for building houses, hospitals, and schools, Hamas uses it on terror tunnels running beneath the border as they plan future attacks on Israel. Gaza is a sad story — a reminder that elections matter. It is also a reminder of God’s promise to Abraham over 4000 years ago. In Genesis 12:3, God said to Abraham, “I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” The last part of that promise — the part about all the families of the earth being blessed — will soon be fulfilled. It will happen when Jesus of Nazareth, a Jewish descendant of Abraham, returns to rule and reign on planet earth.

NFL Owners Finally Listen to the Fans

By CP Op-ed Contributor Jeff Crouere | Mon 28 May 2018 15:43 EDT

After a year of intense controversy concerning player protests during the National Anthem, the NFL finally decided to act. At the spring NFL owners meeting, a decision was made to require players to "stand and show respect" during the National Anthem if they are on the playing field. Otherwise, players will be given the option to remain in the locker room. If players or club personnel on the field show disrespect during the National Anthem by not standing, their team will be fined by the NFL. In accordance with instituting the anthem policy, the 32 NFL team owners also "reaffirmed their strong commitment to work alongside our players to strengthen our communities and advance social justice." This commitment will include "extraordinary resources" for programs that "promote positive social change in our communities." According to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, "We are honored to work with our players to drive progress." While Goodell acknowledged a desire to strongly support social justice causes, he made clear his displeasure with the on-field anthem protests, which he claimed, "created a false perception among many that thousands of NFL players were unpatriotic." With such an impression taking hold in the country, it was imperative that the NFL act before the start of the next season. This decision is not the perfect answer for it does not require all players to stand for the anthem, but at least it is a better to have an official policy. Previously, the NFL had no policy, so the players were allowed to disrespect the National Anthem with no consequences. This new stance is similar to the official position of the National Basketball Association. Of course, liberal activists were not pleased with the announcement. The head coach of the Golden State Warriors, Steve Kerr, called the policy, "idiotic." Plenty of media personalities also slammed the decision as being unfair to players who wanted to protest. For example, Marc Lamont Hill of CNN tweeted, "If the NFL players want to resist, they should ALL remain in the locker room during the anthem." While some players obviously supported the decision and chose to remain quiet, others decided to publicly condemn it. Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Artie Burns called the new NFL anthem policy another type of "bullying." Chris Long, a defensive end with the Philadelphia Eagles, said that the decision was made because of a "fear of a diminished bottom line." He also claimed it was "not patriotism" to enact this new policy. Not surprisingly, President Trump had a much more favorable response to the new NFL policy. Last year, he strongly condemned players who refused to stand for the National Anthem. He encouraged owners to fire any of their players who participated in the protests and tell them to get "off the field." In an interview on Fox News, the President said, "You have to stand proudly for the National Anthem. You shouldn't be playing, you shouldn't be there. Maybe they shouldn't be in the country...the NFL owners did the right thing." Of course, the President is correct. It is not too much to ask millionaire football players to show some basic respect toward their country by standing during the National Anthem. Those who refuse to stand are clearly insulting our brave military veterans who have sacrificed so much to allow our citizens the freedom to enjoy games such as football. Football players earn outrageous salaries due to the generosity of hard working fans, including veterans, who pay for high priced tickets. Most of these fans expect NFL players to display reverence for the American flag and to stand for our National Anthem. A protest during this period is both inappropriate and insulting as there are many other ways NFL players can demonstrate their opposition to police tactics or the nation's criminal justice system, Last year, the anthem protests had a very negative impact on the NFL. In 2017, the average viewing audience for an NFL game plunged 9.7% to 14.9 million viewers. It was even larger downturn than the 8% decline in audience in the previous year. Obviously, there are multiple factors leading to the loss of viewers; however, it is undeniable that the National Anthem controversy was a major contributing factor last year. The NFL owners' decision is a step in the right direction, but it will not solve the problem entirely. If league officials hope the new policy will bring this issue to a resolution, they are sadly mistaken. The anthem protests are going to continue in 2018 despite this new policy and the major investment the NFL is making in community-based organizations. The key reason is that liberal media organizations and social justice groups will continue to encourage and support players who participate. Nonetheless, players should understand that if they continue with these protests, it will only harm their careers. If there are any doubts, just ask unemployed NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

Lava Covers Potentially Explosive Well at Israeli Company's Plant in Hawaii

Although officials assure that wells are 'safe' and 'secure,' lava has never engulfed a geothermal plant anywhere in the world and the potential threat is untested

The Associated Press May 28, 2018 12:19 PM

HONOLULU – Lava from the Hawaii's erupting Kilauea volcano volcano covered at least one well Sunday at a geothermal power plant on the island owned and operated by Israeli company Ormat Technologiers, according to a Hawaii County Civil Defense report. The well was successfully plugged in anticipation of the lava flow on Big Island, and a second well nearly 100 feet (30.5 meters) away has also been secured, according to the report. The plugs protect against the release of gas that could turn toxic when mixed with lava. The lava breached the property overnight. David Mace, a spokesman for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said the flow started about 590 feet away from the nearest well. But he said safety precautions went into effect before the breach. “I think it’s safe to say authorities have been concerned about the flow of lava onto the plant property since the eruption started,” he said. Puna Geothermal was shut down shortly after Kilauea began spewing lava on May 3. But Ormat remained optimistic that the lava would not reach the plant, which is responsible for 4.5 percent of Ormat’s total geothermal power production worldwide. Ormat owns a 63.25 percent interest in Puna itself, and the minority interest is held by the Canadian investment fund Northleaf. Ormat shares were down 2.2 percent at 182.50 shekels ($51) in late trading on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange on Monday. The company had issued no statement on the latest developments at Puna, which harnesses heat and steam from the Earth’s core to spin turbines to generate power. A flammable gas called pentane is used as part of the process, though earlier this month officials removed 189,000 liters (nearly 50,000 gallons) of the gas from the plant to reduce the chance of explosions. They also capped the 11 wells at the property to try to prevent a breach. Before the lava reached the well, plant spokesman Mike Kaleikini told the news agency Hawaii News Now there was no indication of the release of the poisonous gas hydrogen sulfide – the greatest fear should lava hit the wells. “As long as conditions are safe, we will have personnel on site,” Kaleikini said. “Primary concern is sulfur dioxide from the eruption and lava coming on site. We monitor for hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide on a continuous basis.” Steve Brantley of the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said the flow seemed to have halted Sunday morning, before it picked back up and covered the well at the plant – which lies on the southeast flank of the volcano, nestled between residential neighborhoods. Lava-filled fissures have torn apart chunks of the southeastern side of Big Island over the past three weeks as Kilauea has become more active.

Drone with explosives infiltrates Israel from Gaza

The IDF several days ago located a drone that was intended to explode inside Israeli territory.

Contact Editor Elad Benari, 28/05/18 00:19

The IDF several days ago located a drone with explosives on the Gaza border that was intended to explode in Israeli territory, it was cleared for publication on Sunday night. The IDF Spokesperson's Unit said that "a few days ago, a drone was located after it crossed from the northern Gaza Strip into Israel and fell in the Sha'ar Hanegev Regional Council. An examination found explosives on the drone." Earlier on Sunday, three terrorists were killed in Gaza after Israeli army tanks opened fire in retaliation for a bomb attack along the Israel-Gaza border. Terrorists planted the explosive device on the Israeli border fence, following attacks on the fence and the infiltration of four Gaza terrorists into Israeli territory on Saturday. The terrorists crossed into Israeli territory, threw firebombs at Israeli security personnel, then returned to the Strip after IDF forces opened fire on them. Israeli Air Force jets hit Hamas targets in Gaza Saturday night in retaliation for the infiltration. Following the discovery of the bomb along the security fence Sunday, Israeli tanks opened fire on an observation post operated by the Islamic Jihad terror group.

US Moves Hundreds of Tanks to Poland; Calling it a Drill - But CLEARLY Prep for War

Category: World News Monday, 28 May 2018 21:44

First military equipment, including M1A2 Abrams tanks and M88A2 HERCULES repair vehicles from "Iron Horse" Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, has arrived in Poland, allegedly to support Operation Atlantic Resolve. Very troubling about this deployment is the inclusion of so many M88's; far more of them than any "drill" would ever require, but the number expected prior to going into actual battle. While this is said to be an exercise, clearly someone is planning for an actual war - and the only one in that neighborhood requiring that much firepower to fight, would be Russia. Does this look like a Drill to you? Count them yourselves: M-88 HERCULES The M88's primary role is to repair or replace damaged parts in fighting vehicles while under fire, as well as extricate vehicles that have become bogged down or entangled. The main winch on the M88A2 is capable of a 70-ton, single line recovery, and a 140-ton 2:1 recovery when used with the 140 ton pulley. The A-frame boom of the A2 can lift 35 tons when used in conjunction with the spade down. The spade can be used for light earth moving, and can be used to anchor the vehicle when using the main winch. The M88 employs an Auxiliary power unit (APU) to provide auxiliary electrical and hydraulic power when the main engine is not in operation. It can also be used to slave start other vehicles, provide power for the hydraulic impact wrench, as well as the means to refuel or de-fuel vehicles as required. The M88 series of vehicles can refuel M1 tanks from its own fuel tanks, but this is a last resort due to the possibility of clogging the AGT-1500s fuel filters. Here's another photo from inside the columns of M-88's: Why so many? In a "drill" how many of America's finest tanks might anyone expect to "get stuck?" Flip over? Stall out? One? Three? There are almost as many M-88's as there are tanks! That means they're expecting to need a lot of them, over a very wide geographic area. In my view, this is not for a drill, this is preparation for war. With Russia.

Panic, Crisis In Italy: Dealers Pull Bids As Bonds, Stocks Crash; Euro, Deutsche Bank Tumble As Contagion Spreads

by Tyler Durden Tue, 05/29/2018 - 06:44

With UK traders returning from vacation, Italy woke up to a sheer selling panic as yesterday's "modest" selloff mutated into a full-blown liquidation avalanche, lead by a furious repricing of the BTP curve, where 2Y yields exploded another 170 bps higher on the day rising to 2.60% from negative just a few days ago... ... the biggest one day move in Italian 2Y yield in history... ... while the 10Y blew out as much as 70bps to 3.40%, now finally higher than US Treasurys... ... its biggest one day move since the 2011 European debt crisis... ... sending the Germany-Italian spread wider by 50bps to over 300 bps, the highest in 5 years. Confirming the market revulsion to anything Italian, today's 6-month bill sale by Rome was met with surprisingly poor demand, covered 1.19 only times, the lowest since April 2010, despite what continues to be an ECB backstop. Stocks fared no better, with Italian equities tumbling as much as 3% today and now back to the lowest level since last July... ... while Italian banks are now well inside a bear market, down 24% from their recent April highs. As a result of the panic selling, not seen since the days of the European sovereign debt crisis in 2011/2012, dealers pulled their price indications, which according to Bloomberg signalled dealer unwillingness to trade given the excessive volatility. But what is even worse is that this is no longer just an Italian crisis, as Deutsche Bank stock tumbled below €10 for the first time since its existential close encounter in September 2016, and just why of all time lows, on fears Italy's problems will spread beyond its borders... ... but it's not just Germany as French banks are also getting slammed: FRENCH MAJOR BANKS' 5-YEAR CDS JUMP 50 BPS OR MORE FROM MONDAY CLOSE ON ITALIAN POLITICAL RISK, BNP PARIBAS HIGHEST SINCE APRIL 2017 -IHS MARKIT ... while the EURUSD tumbles below 1.16, the lowest since last July as murmurs of "parity" are once again emerging. Yesterday we predicted that it is only a matter of time before Europe and the ECB ban shorting of Italian bonds, and we are sticking with it, although at this point - now well past contagion - it is unclear if such a dramatic action will have much of an impact. Meanwhile, all eyes on Draghi to see how the ECB responds now that Europe is once again facing threats to both its currency, as well as its very existence.

Israel, Russia agree to boot Iran and Hezbollah from northern border

The report says Jerusalem and Moscow agreed to allow Israel to maintain its ability to act against Iran's expansion in Syria.

By Anna Ahronheim, Herb Keinon May 28, 2018 21:27

Ahead of an expected regime offensive in southern Syria, Syrian government troops should be the only ones present on the country’s southern border, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Monday. The statement carries great significance south of the border in Israel.Of course, all non-Syrian forces should be withdrawn on a reciprocal basis,” he was quoted as saying by the RIA news agency. “This should be a two-way process. The situation, when only representatives of the Syrian armed forces will be deployed on the Syrian side of the border with Israel, should become the outcome of such work.” Lavrov made his comments at a joint news conference in Moscow with his Mozambique counterpart, Jose Condungua Pacheco. He also touched on the US military camp at al-Tanf on the Syrian-Jordanian-Iraqi border, which has been criticized repeatedly by Moscow. According to a Channel 2 report, Lavrov’s comments are part of an understanding reached between Israel and Russia to keep Iranian and Hezbollah forces away from Syria’s border with Israel on the Golan Heights. According to the report, Israel and Russia have reached an agreement whereby Israel will not intervene to prevent the deployment of Syrian President Bashar Assad’s troops to the southern border and the Golan Heights, effectively reasserting Assad’s control there, and Moscow will make sure that these troops do not include Iranian or Hezbollah forces. The report said Israel will also retain its freedom of action against Syrian entrenchment inside Syria. In addition, according to the report, Russia will call publicly for all foreign forces to leave Syria – something Lavrov did on Monday. Jerusalem has been urging Moscow for months to ensure that Iran, the Shia militias under its control and Hezbollah leave Syria. Moscow, according to Israeli officials, recently has become more amenable to the request out of concern that an Israeli-Iranian confrontation in Syria – likely if Iran continues to entrench itself militarily in the country – would endanger Moscow’s gains there. Meanwhile, several Arabic- language media outlets carried unconfirmed reports of indirect negotiations between Israel and Iran. Another report claimed the Syrian regime has proposed a deal in which Hezbollah and Iranian militias would be pulled some 25 kilometers from the border with Israel’s Golan Heights “The Syrian regime has sent a proposal through mediators to regional countries that will ensure the withdrawal of Hezbollah and Iranian militias about 25 kilometers away from the disengagement line in the Golan,” an unnamed Western diplomat was quoted as saying by the London-based Al Sharq al Awsat newspaper. The report also said US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State David Satterfield has been working on a deal that would see, among other things, the withdrawal of all Syrian and non-Syrian militias some 20 to 25 km. from the Jordanian border and the formation of a US-Russian mechanism to control the implementation of the agreement. The Syrian regime allegedly proposed arrangements to allow local councils to govern in the villages of the Syrian Golan, including Beit Jinn, which was recaptured by troops loyal to the Assad regime several months ago. It also included the possibility of considering reviving the disengagement agreement between Syria and Israel from 1974, allowing for UN troops to monitor the demilitarized zone between the two countries. Phillip Smyth, a Soref Fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, told The Jerusalem Post pulling Iranian forces out from southern Syria “requires further definition.” “There are numerous forces, including some that are locally based in southern Syria under the control of Tehran and Lebanese Hezbollah,” he said, adding that he has “a hard time believing that Iran will adhere to any arrangement involving their pullout from this zone. How long will it be before they are back in the area? It is a key strategic goal for Tehran to maintain a presence in southern Syria, and they have tried to do this since at least 2013.” Another unconfirmed report on Monday in the Syrian opposition newspaper Zaman al-Wasl claimed the commander of the Syrian Air Force has decided Damascus will no longer allow Iranian- backed Shi’ite militias to use its bases to store ammunition and host fighters. According to the report, the Assad regime has been in a “panic following recent Israeli attacks.” But according to Aymenn al-Tamimi, a research fellow at the Middle East Forum, it is “highly implausible” that the Assad regime will break its alliance with Tehran Iran has expended considerable resources to ensure Assad’s survival,” he told the Post, adding that nevertheless, “Assad recognizes that some actions by Iran or Iranian- backed groups would not be in his interest, such as if they were to clear out border areas with the Golan and establish bases there. Accordingly, there are certain measures he can take to prevent that outcome: for instance, through trying to bring about reconciliation agreements in the border areas that allow the local rebel factions to act as holding forces, an outcome we have seen in Beit Jinn.” The unconfirmed reports by Al Sharq al Awsat and Zaman al-Wasl come as the Saudi-owned Elaph news site reported that Israel and Iran had been engaged in indirect negotiations in Amman, Jordan, over the weekend. According to Elaph, “The talks with the Israelis were related to fighting in Syria and the nearing campaign in southern Syria, particularly in Dera’a and Kuneitra.” Iran’s ambassador to Jordan pledged not to participate in the upcoming offensive by the Assad regime in southwestern Syria against rebel groups, while Israel agreed not to intervene in the battles in the tri-border area as long as Hezbollah and Iranian-backed Shi’ite militias are not involved. The alleged negotiations were said to be mediated by a Jordanian who carried messages between the Iranian ambassador to Jordan, who was in one hotel room with Iranian security personnel, while senior Israeli security officials, including the deputy head of the Mossad, were in the next room. On Monday, it was announced that Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman will leave for a working visit to Russia on Wednesday along with the head of IDF Military Intelligence, Maj.- Gen. Tamir Hyman, at the invitation of his Russian counterpart, Sergei Shoigu. Liberman will also be joined by Zohar Palti, head of the Defense Ministry’s Political- Military Affairs Bureau, and other representatives of the defense establishment. Channel 10, meanwhile, reported that National Security Adviser Meir Ben-Shabbat will travel to Washington on Tuesday for his first meeting with new US National Security Adviser John Bolton. The talks are expected to focus on coordinating positions regarding both the US withdrawal from the Iranian nuclear deal, as well as efforts to prevent Iranian entrenchment in Syria.

Heightening Mid-East Tensions

By Hal Lindsey

On Saturday, Syria apparently launched another chemical attack against its people — including small children … By the time you read this, the expected US military response may have already begun … Russia has warned that it will shoot down US missiles and even target the US naval vessels that fire the missilesAfter the chemical attack, came a mystery air strike against Syria — probably launched by Israel … Russia then began a war of words with Israel, finally showing their long-held but usually camouflaged disdain for the Jewish stateHamas continues to stir up violent anti-Israel protests along Israel’s Gaza borderIran says it will soon restart its nuclear program — as if it had ever actually stopped. And that’s just part of what’s gone on, in only the last few days! The first big question is whether the Trump Administration can really be sure that Syria launched the chemical attack. Russia and Syria both deny it. That’s what they would say in either case, but the timing seems suspicious. Only a few days ago, the President said that with ISIS defeated, he wanted to pull US troops out of Syria, and soon. That would seem to be in Syria’s favor. Why rock the boat now? But while tweeting on the subject, Mr. Trump made a good case that the chemical attack really was a Syrian operation. “Many dead,” he tweeted, “including women and children, in mindless CHEMICAL attack in Syria. Area of atrocity is in lockdown and encircled by Syrian Army, making it completely inaccessible to outside world. President Putin, Russia and Iran are responsible for backing Animal Assad. Big price...” If the area is “in lockdown and encircled by Syrian Army… completely inaccessible to outside world,” then who else could it be? As President, Donald Trump surely knows the facts, and he has no reason to lie about it. After all, a Syrian chemical attack will delay the troop withdrawal he’s anxious for. The President answered the last major chemical attack in Syria by launching 59 cruise missiles at Syria’s Shayrat Airbase. Most observers expect a bigger response this time, but Russia’s increasingly close relationship with Syria and Iran complicates things. Alexander Zasypkin, Russia’s ambassador to Lebanon, made an ominous threat. He said, “If there is a strike by the Americans, then… the missiles will be downed and even the sources from which the missiles were fired.” It’s unlikely that Russia has the ability to shoot down US cruise missiles. It’s also unlikely that they would actually try to sink the US Navy ships launching the attacks. But even the threat shows how dangerous things have become. A world soaked in gasoline is playing with matches. President Trump has worked hard to form a better relationship with Russia. But by the time of Trump’s election, Putin’s course was already set. He committed to it when he sent the Russian military into Syria in 2015. It’s ironic that Trump’s critics have called him weak on Russia and have demanded a more hardline approach. Yesterday’s peaceniks have turned into today’s warmongers. But in this case, the President has pulled no punches. He directly blamed Putin for Assad’s action, and practically dared Russia to try and stop the US response. On Wednesday, President Trump tweeted, “Russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at Syria. Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and ‘smart!’ You shouldn’t be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it!” Assad has placed his troops on alert, evacuating bases near the border with Lebanon, and transporting personnel to Russian installations — presumably safe from a US missile strike. The “mystery air strike” took place Monday on an air base in the Homs province. At first, Syria blamed the US. But after the Pentagon issued a strong denial, they and the Russians switched the blame to Israel. Was it Israel? They didn’t confirm it, but neither did they deny it. Israeli Defense Forces play their cards close to the vest. Just last month they finally acknowledged an air strike on a Syrian nuclear reactor way back in 2007. The Syrian civil war began four years later, so we can all be glad that Israel chose to forcibly shut down the Syrian nuclear program. The strike on Monday caused the deaths of several Iranians as well as Syrians. There were no Russian deaths or injuries reported, but Russia had soldiers assigned to the base. That’s a problem for US forces as well. We don’t know for sure where Russian soldiers are embedded with Syrians. On Monday, Israeli fighter jets hit a Hamas target in Gaza. It was clearly a military target, and no one was hurt. But Russia used it as another excuse to ramp up their anti-Israel rhetoric. In January, Putin and Netanyahu met at the Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center in Moscow. They seemed to hit it off. Netanyahu’s main purpose in the trip was to express concern about Iran’s stronghold in Syria, and their movement of advanced weaponry into Lebanon and Syria. The two got along well, but looking at it now, the effort seems to have been wasted. Putin knows that his alliance with Iran is one of the chief causes of unrest in the region. He’s playing a dangerous, high-stakes game. Newsweek reported on Wednesday that Russia is instructing its citizens to stock up on water and buy gas masks in anticipation of nuclear war. The world right now is teetering on many dangerous precipices. All of them fit the dramatic scenario laid out in the Bible for the end times. For Christian believers, I have two pieces of extremely good news. First, God has already shown us how these things eventually work out. We win! In the meantime, we will face difficulties. But that’s where the second piece of good news comes in. God’s promises remain in effect even when the world seems to be falling apart. Trust Him.

Report: Russia Warned Iran Ahead of Israel's Extensive Strikes in Syria

Russia's deputy foreign minister visited Iran and updated counterpart after Netanyahu met Putin in Moscow, London-based Asharq al-Aswat reports. Israel earlier told Russia in advance of its plans

Haaretz May 13, 2018 8:43 AM

Russia gave Iran advance warning about this week's Israeli attack in Syria, the Saudi-owned and London-based Asharq al-Awswat newspaper reported Friday. Israel told Russia about the imminent attack as part of the two countries' ongoing security coordination in Syria. According to the report, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov visited Tehran a few hours before the Israeli attack. Ryabkov gave his Iranian counterpart, Abbas Araghchi, information that reached Syria during Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Moscow on Wednesday. >> Putin is giving Israel a free hand against Iran in Syria. But he may soon have to pick a side | Iran might restrain itself from striking Israel in bid to save nuclear deal << According to the newspaper's source, after Ryabkov gave the information to Iran an argument erupted between Iranian President Hassan Rohani and military commander Mohammad Bagheri, about the intention to fire missiles at Israel. The argument involved international repercussions for firing the missiles, as well as diplomacy with European countries, Russia and China over the nuclear deal. The Israel Air Force on Wednesday night attacked dozens of Iranian targets in Syria, including intelligence outposts, military camps and weapons depots. The Israel Defense Forces said it was the most large-scale Israeli attack in Syria in decades. It was conducted after some 20 rockets were fired from Syria at IDF outposts in the Golan Heights. Iran's operation failed, with four rockets penetrating Israeli airspace and being intercepted by Israeli defenses, while the rest landed in Syrian territory. The rockets caused no injuries or damage in Israel. The IDF blamed the Iranian Revolutionary Guards' Quds Force for the rocket fire. The rockets were fired from Syria close to midnight and targeted the IDF's first line of defensive outposts near the Syrian border. The rocket fire was in line with early IDF intelligence assessments, which predicted projectiles launched at military targets in northern Israel and that Iran would act against Israel in a way that it believed would not lead to an all-out war.

Kuwait Demanding UN Force to Protect Gaza Arabs against Israel

By JNi.Media - 4 Sivan 5778 – May 18, 2018

Kuwait asked the UN Security Council to “guarantee the safety and protection of the Palestinian civilian population,” and to consider the deployment of “an international protection mission,” the AP reported on Friday. Kuwait is a current member of the UNSC. The draft circulated by Kuwait demands that Israel “immediately cease its military reprisals, collective punishment and unlawful use of force against civilians, including in the Gaza Strip.” The resolution has no chance of passing while the United States remains a staunch defender of Israel’s right to defend itself against infiltrators from the Gaza Strip, so that if the resolution is put to a vote it would be vetoed. However, it would be interesting to see how many of the members, permanent and otherwise, would support the idea. The last time an international UN force was posted between Israel and the Gaza Strip was in May of 1967, and it packed up and left as soon as Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser ordered it to scram. This would be as good a time as any to remind readers about the 1990-91 “Palestinian exodus from Kuwait,” during and after the Gulf War. There were 400,000 “Palestinians” living in Kuwait before the Gulf War. During the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait, 200,000 of them left Kuwait for fear of persecution, food shortages, lack of medical care, financial shortages, and fear of arrest and mistreatment at roadblocks by the invading Iraqis. Enter PLO leader Yasser Arafat, who picked the wrong horse in the Golf conflict, embracing Saddam Hussein. So after the war, nearly 200,000 “Palestinians” were pushed out of Kuwait by the returning royal family, which severely curbed their right to residence and subjected them to abuse by Kuwaiti security forces. In 2004, Mahmoud Abbas officially apologized for the PLO support for the Iraqi invasion in 1991. In 2012, the official PLO embassy in Kuwait was re-opened, and it is estimated that 80,000 “Palestinians” live in Kuwait today.

Apple founder Steve Wozniak has said he believes that Bitcoin is more valuable than the gold or the US dollar. Wozniak believes Bitcoin and Blockchain are the “next major IT revolution.” Wozniak, who co-founded Apple Inc with Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne, said that Bitcoin is much better than Gold and the US dollar as a currency. The Apple founder gave cryptocurrency and its underlying Blockchain technology a powerful endorsement during a conference on Thursday. Mr. Wozniak hailed the “revolutionary” tech while speaking in Vienna on stage at the WeAreDevelopers World Congress. Wozniak said that Blockchain is “the next major IT revolution that is about to happen,” and he believes it will have a massive impact on the technology sector. Despite his confident words about Bitcoin and Blockchain, the Apple founder said in a separate interview that he was disappointed with centralized technology. Referencing Facebook’s Cambridge Analytica scandal, he said he was “bothered by what technology has become.” “We used to be able to have conversations in secret with people,” the American inventor said. “If I were to say something to you in private now, others wouldn’t hear it — that isn’t the case anymore.” “We lost our security a long time ago. “We’ve lost our privacy and it’s been abused. “If I think I have a level of privacy that I don’t, that’s deceit. “And that bothers me. “I hit a limit. “I can’t take that. “It’s one step in a long series of steps that are all in the same direction.” Mr. Wozniak hasn’t given up on other Silicon Valley companies just yet, however. The Apple founder, revealing his excitement about buying himself a Tesla after buying his wife a Mercedes, said” “Elon Musk emailed me, said that I bought a gas guzzler, said that I’m not a ‘true Silicon Valley boy’ – I love that phrase. “After a few months, my wife came into my office one night and said ‘if you want a Tesla you can order it.’ “30 seconds later [I ordered it].” Traditional currencies are ‘kind of phony’ His promulgations about Blockchain technology follow previous statements about how Bitcoin is better than gold and the US dollar in significant ways. Speaking in Las Vegas last October at the Money 20/2- events, the Apple founders described traditional currencies as “kind of phony.” “Woz” said this was due to the fact governments can create new units of the currency for political reasons. He added that gold also lacks a fixed supply, saying: “There is a certain finite amount of bitcoin that can ever exist. “30 seconds later [I ordered it].” Traditional currencies are ‘kind of phony’ His promulgations about Blockchain technology follow previous statements about how Bitcoin is better than gold and the US dollar in significant ways.

'We call them The Walking Dead': At least TWENTY-FIVE people 'looking like zombies' collapse after overdosing on synthetic marijuana known as 'K2' on the same New York street where 33 people overdosed two years ago

At least 25 people were hospitalized after overdosing on synthetic marijuana

Police responded at 7.30pm to Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood

The neighborhood has become known as 'ground zero' for K2 addicts

All those who were hospitalized do not have life-threatening conditions

One man was arrested on Saturday night in connection to the mass overdose

K2 has been known to induce paranoia, confusion, vomiting and hallucinations

They looked more like zombies than New Yorkers as they slumped against buildings and lay down on the sidewalks. Police say they all had taken a bad batch of drugs known to induce paranoia, vomiting and hallucinations. At least 25 people were hospitalized in New York City after a possible overdose of synthetic marijuana known as 'K2'. Police responded to an intersection in Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood on Saturday and loaded dazed and confused users onto stretchers and into ambulances. On Saturday night, NBC 4 New York reported that the number of those who overdosed was believed to be 16 before those figures were corrected on Sunday. Authorities received a call around 7.30pm of people found unresponsive on the corner of Broadway and Myrtle Avenue. Those hospitalized were taken to Interfaith Medical Center, Wyckoff Heights Medical Center and Woodhull Medical Center, and all are expected to live. Witnesses at the scene said the drug users looked like zombies and could barely keep their bodies upright. 'We call them The Walking Dead,' Israel P told The New York Daily News. The 23-year-old, who works at his family's nearby restaurant, said he saw three people get taken away in ambulances. Another man, who declined to give his name told The News: 'One of them, a guy, was upside down. His body up, his head down...Another one was lying down flat.' Police arrested Tyquan Holley, 41, on Saturday night for criminal possession of a controlled substance after he was found with synthetic marijuana on Myrtle Avenue near Broadway. Holley has a lengthy rap sheet with 18 prior arrests on charges ranging from patronizing a prostitute, robbery and grand larceny, police said. Additionally, two search warrants were executed at Big Boy Deli at 930 Broadway and the Star Deli and Grill at 943 Broadway, according to police. Authorities have called Big Boy Deli the 'sole distributor' of K2 in the area, according to DNAinfo.com Three other men were arrested for selling untaxed cigarettes including Raddwan Alsaidi, 24; Marcial Cortez, 26; and Ashraf Rayshani, 22. Cortez was also charged with criminal possession of a weapon, a knife, reported The New York Times. Two people were taken into custody at the Deli and Grill on charges related to selling untaxed cigarettes, police said. K2 contains man-made chemicals that act on the same cell receptors in the brain that THC does in natural marijuana. It is dirt cheap, often sold for one to five dollars for a stick or package. Researchers have found instances in which chemicals in synthetic marijuana can bind much more strongly to cell receptors than THC, producing stronger effects. Because the chemicals vary from packet to packet, the effects of K2 are unpredictable and can change from use to use, according to the New York City Health Department. Packaged under names like Spice, AK-47, Smacked, Green Giant Scooby Snax, iBlown and Dank, K2 can lead to seizures, psychosis, dependence and death. The products can also cause a rapid increase in heart, paranoia, confusion, vomiting and hallucinations. Richard Rojas, who plowed into a crowd of pedestrian in Times Square in May 2017 - killing an 18-year-old girl, was reportedly high on K2 at the time, reported ABC 7. More than 6,000 people have been sent to the emergency room in New York because of K2 since 2015 and there have been two confirmed deaths caused by the drug. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio signed a bill in October that made it illegal to sell or produce K2, making it a crime punishable by up to a year in jail and fines of more than $100,000. In May 2016, he announced that there had been an 85 percent decline in K2-related emergency visits in the last 10 months. Councilman Robert Cornegy Jr and Councilwoman Laurie Cumbo, whose districts includes Beford-Stuyvesant, held a press conference on Sunday during which they asked for extra law enforcement outside Big Boy Deli. 'Right now we are talking about step up enforcements in the local area to make sure that this doesn't happen again,' Cornegy told reporters. Shops that are caught selling the drug lose their license to sell cigarettes. But Cornegy said many area shops have found ways to get around the law. [rewrite[ 'Some of the local shop owners are now using what's called runners. So, not selling it absolutely out of the store, but having people who are working outside of the store who are loosely associated with the stores doing their business for them,' the councilman told New York 1. 'So we have to escalate our efforts in an effort to stop this scourge in our community.'

Greyerz – 10s Of Millions Are Already Struggling To Survive In The US But This Is The Scary Part

May 20, 2018

As the world edges closer to the next crisis, today the man who has become legendary for his predictions on QE and historic moves in currencies, told King World News that tens of millions are already struggling to survive in the US, but this is the really scary part. 51 Million Households In Trouble

May 20 (King World News) – Egon von Greyerz: “There are 51 million American households that cannot make ends meet. This means that 43% of American households can’t afford a basic middle class life. Of these, 35 million are dubbed ALICE which stands for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed with a further 16 million households living in poverty… In Volatile Markets, Is Wealth Preservation King? In a King World News interview I spoke with the man who predicted the Swiss National Bank would experience staggering losses and that the Fed would also experience massive losses that will destabilize the global financial system! His company is the only one in the world offering a precious metals investment service outside the banking system, with direct ownership and full control by the investor. He has also become legendary for his predictions on QE, historic moves in currencies, and major global events. To find out what he and his company can do to help answer that age old question for you CLICK HERE. Struggling To Survive Egon von Greyerz continues: “It is absolutely remarkable that in the world’s biggest and “richest” country, just under 50% of the households are struggling to afford a basic middle class life and that 50 million people live in poverty. And this is after decades of prosperity and economic growth. What this proves is that the average person in the US is seeing no prosperity at all. All the official figures of employment, production, growth, GDP, etc, are just humbug. They are fake data which is completely misleading and paints a totally false picture. The official unemployment figure is 4% but the real figure is 22%. There are 95 million Americans capable of working who are not in the labour force. The US economy consists of a small minority which has benefitted dramatically from the credit expansion and money printing. And then there is the big majority that earn low incomes and have enormous debts who struggle to make interest payments on debts that they can never repay. Real median hourly wages have not increased in the US for 50 years! Today, 66% of Americans earn less than $20 per hour. Trump was aware of the situation of the average American during the election campaign. And by appealing to this group, he won the election. But sadly, making promises is a lot easier than solving an insoluble debt problem. The US and global economies are soon going to be crushed by the massive global debt situation, as I outlined in my article last week about “Alice in Horrorland.” Since 1/3 of Americans have less than $5,000 in savings, they have nothing to fall back on when they lose their jobs and hit hard times. At that point, the government will default and there will be no social security net. They will of course print unlimited amounts of money, which will be totally worthless and thus have no effect except for causing hyperinflation. It is not just the personal debt situation in the US that is cause for concern. Corporate debt is now at an extreme, in a similar position as before the 1990, 2000, 2008 economic crises and stock market collapses. As the graph below shows, corporate Debt to GDP is currently giving a warning that the next economic and market decline is imminent. The fact that US national debt has doubled since 2009 is certainly not going to make the situation easier. But these problems are not limited to the US. Almost 50% of the world’s population, which is more than 3 billion people, live on less than $2.50 per day. And 17% live in extreme poverty on less than $1.25 a day. The World Bank has defined the “International Poverty Line” as $1.90 a day and around 2.5 billion people are below that line. So after over 100 years of major growth in GDP, technological innovations, industrialism, food production, health care, etc, there are still 2.5 billion below the poverty line. A major reason is the fact that world population has exploded in the last 175 years. In the 1850s, global population was 1 billion and today we are at 7.5 billion. A graph of a major sample, like world population, that is a spike straight up, will at some point turn into a spike straight down. This means that world population will come down dramatically due to poverty, disease, war or a combination of all three factors. Thus, a major decline in world population is likely in the next few decades to maybe half or 3 billion. This sounds dramatic and terrifying but similar reductions have happened throughout history. Thus, in spite of a century with remarkable growth, credit expansion and money printing, the world has a major economic and poverty problem. This will, sadly, not end well when the current global debt and asset bubbles burst. We will see a global contagion of, defaults and economic misery. Central banks will embark on unlimited money printing in a futile attempt to save the world but this time it will fail. Printed money has zero value and will therefore have no effect. You cannot solve a debt problem by issuing more debt. The mess in Europe is getting worse. The US has broken the Iran agreement and is now putting massive pressure on Merkel and the rest of Europe to do likewise. But European countries are unwilling to comply. The US is threatening to sanction any country that trades with Iran and also with Russia. The unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats in Brussels are under increasing pressure. They are doing all they can to stop Brexit. Theresa May has a very weak hand as the leader of a party that does not have majority in parliament. The problem is that she can’t even get agreement in her own cabinet. This makes her so weak that she is unlikely to reach the Brexit agreement that a majority of the British people voted for. The Brussels mafia is skillfully taking advantage of this and are currently succeeding in preventing the UK from getting anywhere. The European Union has become a failed attempt at constructing a European superstate run by the Brussels elite. A free trade union was an excellent idea but the political union which is Brussel’s aim is a disaster waiting to happen. Also, a common currency can never work for a region in such a disparate area, with different cultures, wage rates, growth rates, inflation and limited mobility of labor. The elites’ dream of a common fiscal and economic policy will never be accepted by most member states. Personally I am totally against the EU as a political union since I don’t believe in an unelected and irresponsible elite ruling over 500 million people who have very little in common. Instead, small is beautiful. The smaller a country, the more accountable politicians become. Even more so when power is decentralised to the regions and when there is direct democracy like in Switzerland. Even though Switzerland has its own problems, the political system is superior to any other country’s in the world. This is why the Swiss economy and currency has consistently been the strongest in the world. But sadly, the Swiss banking system and the Swiss National Bank are as badly managed as most banks in the world. Also, the Swiss financial system is as vulnerable as the rest of the world and much too big for the country. Therefore, I would not keep any major asset in the Swiss banks, nor in any other banks for that matter. The Brussel elite, together with Macron and Merkel, are now under increasing pressure to keep the EU together. Many Eastern European countries like Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic are increasingly unhappy with EU policies and in particular the migration problem. The weak Mediterranean economies should all leave the EU and the Euro, reestablish their own currencies and renege on the debt to the ECB. This is the only way for them to put their countries on a sound footing. The Brussels elite has used all methods to keep the Mediterranean countries in the EU by extending increasing amounts of loans that will never be repaid. Greece should have left the EU many years ago and so should Italy. The coming Italian coalition government will make life even more difficult for Brussels than the UK is doing. The unholy alliance between the anti-establishment Five Star Movement and the far right, The League, won over 50% of the votes together in the election. They are anti EU, anti Euro and anti immigration. They want the ECB to wipe out EUR 250 billion of debt. Italy has EUR 2.4 billion of government debt and EUR 450 billion of Target 2 debt to the ECB. The proposed Italian government has also promised to cut taxes and introduce a basic wage. Italy’s debt to GDP is already 130% and is unlikely to go down with these measures but reneging on EU debt would certainly help. The elitist paper the Financial Times called the proposed Italian government “Modern Barbarians.” Salvini, the leader of the League retorted: “It is better to be a barbarian than a slave that sells Italy’s dignity, future, business and borders.” It is very clear that we are now seeing the beginning of the end to the European Union. Brussels is not going to give up easily and it will take time. But economic pressures in many European countries, exacerbated by the very high number of migrants, will certainly contribute to a faster breakup of the EU. Finally, let us look at a chart that predicts the future very clearly. Commodities are at 60 year low relative to equities. This doesn’t just mean that stocks will collapse. More importantly, many commodities will surge in price. Part of the reason for this is the coming inflation, leading to hyperinflation and a weak dollar. Commodities will be a major beneficiary of the coming repricing of assets. As bubble assets like stocks, bonds and property collapse, commodities will surge. This will lead to the biggest wealth transfer in history. Many commodities will make new highs with oil, for example, very likely to go above $150 per barrel. But the main beneficiaries of the coming commodity boom will be the precious metals. Although I wouldn’t call gold and silver commodities, they are classified as such. Precious metal investors have had to be patient for quite a few years since the 2011 top. For the people who hold physical gold and silver for wealth preservation purposes, the price is less relevant. But as the chart above warns us, the metals are now on the verge of a major breakout that will not only take gold above the $1,920 high and silver above $50, but to levels that will reflect the real inflation adjusted values of the metals, which is certainly at least $10,000 for gold and $650 for silver. With real hyperinflation we will have to add a few zeroes. But we must remember that physical gold and silver is not held as investments but as the only money which has survived in history. We are now on the eve of an economic crisis of unfathomable proportions due to an insoluble debt problem. Holding precious metals will be invaluable insurance to survive this crisis financially.”

Brussels Rises in Revolt Against Washington: a Turning Point in the US-European Relationship

The May 16-17 EU-Western Balkans summit did address the problems of integration, but it was eclipsed by another issue. The meeting turned out to be a landmark event that will go down in history as the day Europe united to openly defy the US. The EU will neither review the Iran nuclear deal (JPCOA) nor join the sanctions against Tehran that have been reintroduced and even intensified by America. Washington’s unilateral withdrawal from the JPCOA was the last straw, forcing the collapse of Western unity. The Europeans found themselves up against a wall. There is no point in discussing further integration or any other matter if the EU cannot protect its own members. But now it can. President Trump has his own reasons to shred the Iran deal, but he needs Europe to strong-arm Tehran into signing a “better” agreement. Were it to do so, the US administration would make it look like a big victory. Washington does not shy away from threatening its allies with punitive measures but the EU is standing tall, deepening the rift. As European Council President Donald Tusk put it, “With friends like Trump, who needs enemies?” According to him, the US president has “rid Europe of all illusions.” Mr. Tusk wants Europe to “stick to our guns” against new US policies. Jean-Claude Juncker, the head of the EU Commission, believes that “Europe must take America's place as global leader” because Washington has turned its back on its allies. Washington “no longer wants to cooperate.” It is turning away from friendly relations “with ferocity.” Mr. Juncker thinks the time is ripe for Europe “to replace the United States, which as an international actor has lost vigor.” It would have been unthinkable not long ago for a top EU official to say such things and challenge the US global leadership. Now the unthinkable has become reality. The process of shifting away from America does not boil down to just words of indignation and open defiance. Plans are underway to take practical steps. For instance, the EU is to ditch the use of the US currency in its payments for Iranian oil. It can be done. Russia and Iran have already launched an oil-for-goods exchange program in order to leave the greenback behind. The bloc plans to activate a 1996 law (the blocking statute), which bans European businesses from compliance with US sanctions on Iran. The legislation protects "against the effects of the extra-territorial application of legislation adopted by a third country." The EU-Iran discussions have already been held. And it is America’s closest ally who is to deal the first powerful blow against US global dominance. This is a demonstration of the “no retreat, no surrender” spirit before the not-yet-unleased war is in full swing. True, this applies to only a relatively small sector of business activities, and Iran’s $400-billion market can’t be compared to the $18-trillion US market, but the important factor here is the show of political will to stand up to America’s challenge. This rift is taking place amid a looming trade war over aluminum and steel, the US withdrawal from the Paris climate accords, the relocation of the embassy to Jerusalem with no regard for the allies’ opinion, and the controversy over Europe’s NATO spending. On May 15, the EU defense heads gathered at a meeting of the European Union Military Committee to discuss deeper integration and an independent defense policy, which envisages greater efficiency to reduce expenditures, given the US demands to increase those outlays under the auspices of NATO. The PESCO agreement is the backbone of the EU defense policy and it’s purely European. Sandra Oudkirk, US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Energy, has just threatened to sanction the Europeans if they continue with the Nord Stream 2 pipeline project to bring gas in from Russia across the Baltic Sea. That country is also seen by the US as an adversary and its approach is by and large the same – to issue orders for Europe to adopt a confrontational policy, doing as it is told without asking too many questions. Iran and Nord Stream 2 unite Moscow and Brussels in their opposition to this diktat. On May 17, Iran signed a provisional free-trade-zone agreement with a Russia-led Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) that seeks to increase the current levels of trade valued at $2.7 billion. The deal lowers or abolishes customs duties. It also establishes a three-year process for reaching a permanent trade agreement. If Iran becomes a member of the group, it would expand its economic horizons beyond the Middle Eastern region. So, Europe and Russia are in the same boat, both holding talks with Iran on economic cooperation. President Donald Trump has just instructed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to prepare a list of new sanctions against the Russian Federation for its alleged violations of the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty. This is the agreement the US has so egregiously and openly breached. But nobody in Europe has announced that they want US nuclear-tipped intermediate- range weapons on their territory that will be a target for a potential retaliatory strike by Russia. It’s an example of yet another European problem with having the decision-making process located in Washington. If Europe is resolved to fend off US attempts to dictate its policy on Iran, why should it reconcile itself to the pressure to keep the sanctions against Russia intact? May 17 marked a turning point in the US-European relationship. Europeans joined ranks to resist a policy that encroaches on their right to decide their own fate. It’s Europe, not the US, who is negatively affected by the punitive measures, creating deep divisions within the EU at a time when that group is faced with many problems. The time is ripe for Brussels to stop this sanctions-counter-sanctions mayhem and stake out its own independent policies on Russia, Iran, defense, and other issues, that will protect European, not US, national interests. May 17 is the day the revolt started and there is no going back. Europe has said goodbye to trans-Atlantic unity. It looks like it has had enough.

When 43% Of Americans Can't Pay For Food And Rent, We Can Say Economic Collapse Is Here

by Tyler Durden Mon, 05/21/2018 - 17:45

The Organic Prepper

When 43% of Americans Can’t Pay for Food and Rent, We Can Safely Say the Economic Collapse Is HERE by Daisy Luther You know all those reports about how lots of Americans can’t afford a $1000 surprise expense like a medical bill or a car repair? Well, forget additional expenses. It turns out that nearly half of the families in America are struggling to pay for food and rent. And that means that the economic collapse isn’t just “coming.” It’s HERE. United Way has done a study on a group of Americans they call ALICE: Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. The study found that this group does not make the money needed “to survive in the modern economy.” ALICE is your child care worker, your parent on Social Security, the cashier at your supermarket, the gas attendant, the salesperson at your big box store, your waitress, a home health aide, an office clerk. ALICE cannot always pay the bills, has little or nothing in savings, and is forced to make tough choices such as deciding between quality child care or paying the rent. One unexpected car repair or medical bill can push these financially strapped families over the edge. ALICE is a hardworking member of the community who is employed yet does not earn enough to afford the basic necessities of life. ALICE earns above the federal poverty level but does not earn enough to afford a bare-bones household budget of housing, child care, food, transportation, and healthcare. (source) Between families living below the poverty line due to unemployment or disability and ALICEs, the study discovered that 43% of Americans were struggling to cover basic necessities like rent and food. Where are families struggling the most? Some states have more families living in ALICE levels than others. The 3 states with the most families barely surviving paycheck to paycheck are California, New Mexico, and Hawaii. Each of these states saw 49% of families struggling. North Dakota had the lowest ALICE percentage with 32%. You can check how your state fares right here. Despite the lowest unemployment rate since 2000, families all over the country are barely getting by. The media page of the ALICE website is jammed with headlines that are all too familiar for many Americans: Report: Michigan makes little progress in lifting working poor to financial stability After a decade of tax cuts — Ohioans in financial hardship Louisiana families work hard, but still can’t cover necessities 44 percent of Florida households, mostly working poor, struggling to meet basic needs Third of New Jersey households can’t afford basic necessities 42 percent of Wisconsin households struggle to pay bills And on and on and on… The economic collapse of America is here. While many families are still doing okay, the specter of poverty looms over many of us. Many of us know that we’re one personal financial catastrophe away from disaster. I wrote recently about my own family’s struggle with a large medical bill. Obviously, I’m not telling you about our financial saga to make myself look bad. I’m telling you because I want you to know that no matter how much you try to do everything right, financial problems can happen to anyone, at any time. Whether you have $100 in the bank or $100,000 in the bank, something can happen that wipes out your emergency fund just like it did mine. This doesn’t mean that you failed financially – it means that circumstances can affect you, just like they do everyone else, no matter how careful you are. Before my daughter’s illness, I was doing everything “right.”

I had enough money in my emergency fund to carry me through 3 lean months

I had numerous credit cards with zero balances

My only debt was my car

My kids are going to school without student loans

I opted out of health insurance because it was more financially practical to pay cash (and I still agree with that decision)

Everything was great. Until it wasn’t. (source) This is a story that probably rings true to more and more familiar to a growing number of families every week. While my income hasn’t dropped – it’s grown – I am still struggling to pay off those bills and recover. I’ve taken on a significant amount of extra work to get things back under control, and still, I worry it won’t be enough. Sound familiar? If it does, it’s because – and of this, I am quite certain – the long-heralded economic collapse of America is upon us. When hard-working families who should be “middle class” can barely afford to eat and keep a roof over their heads, things are only going to devolve further. Look at other examples of economic collapse This is just the beginning of a looming collapse in America. Remember back when Greece began to collapse? It was the same thing – no one could afford the basics and things went downhill pretty quickly from there. It really hit the papers when a strict austerity program was instituted and culminated when a “bank holiday” shut down the financial system for an entire week. There are similar stories in the UK (where the taxpayers can still fund a 45 million dollar wedding but poor families can’t afford to eat every day), Argentina, and Cyprus. Jose wrote for us about the warning signs that the collapse of Venezuela was approaching and they’re eerily familiar. Food rationing began, the cost of medical care became prohibitive, the health insurance system began to fail, and people began to make difficult choices about rent versus food. I don’t know how it could be any more clear than the fact that nearly half of the American population is also making that decision each month. What’s the answer? While the United Way hopes to boost the minimum wage, I don’t feel that is the answer because it will drive businesses to let employees go when they can’t afford to pay them. We have seen this happen in fast food establishments in which humans are on their way to being replaced by self-service kiosks and burger-flipping robots. I believe the only answer is to begin to produce more than we consume. Currently, Americans are like a horde of locusts, working at jobs that produce nothing, but consuming rabidly the imports that feed us, clothe us, and entertain us. We’re looking at economic tariffs on imports that may increase their price up to 40% and our own exports will be subject to tariffs in return. If you find yourself in a tough spot, these tips from The Cheapskate’s Guide to the Galaxy may help. Audit your situation. See where all your money is going, see how much debt you’re in, and see what the most immediate ramifications will be. Take care of the most important things first. In most situations, keeping your home paid for (rent or mortgage), paying utilities, and making your auto and insurance payments should come first. Take care of the things that will have the most immediate ramifications first. You may have to make some late payments on less vital things. If so, communicate with those to whom you owe money and try to make arrangements. This may affect your credit, but by communicating with them, you can keep damage to a minimum. Cut your expenses. When you audit your situation, you may find some places that you can slash your regular expenses. Don’t hesitate to reduce services that are unnecessary or to whittle down your monthly obligations. (More ideas here) Put a little money back into your emergency fund as soon as possible. This may sound counterintuitive but having a bit of money for minor emergencies means that you won’t need to rely on credit cards for these things, putting you even further in the hole. Pay off your debts. Use the snowball method to attack your debts. Start paying these off AFTER you pay for the things I recommended in step 2. Use the things you have on hand. Delay a trip to the store for as long as possible by planning a menu using the food in your pantry and freezer. (Think about the stockpile challenge we did and use those strategies. Get some ideas for meals from your stockpile in this article) Use the shampoo, soap, and personal hygiene products that you have already instead of buying new products. Raise extra money. This may come from selling things you don’t need, taking on some extra work, or by creating a product or service to sell. However you do this, use the extra revenue wisely to get out of debt and to rebuild your emergency fund. There are more ideas for making money quickly in this issue. And to harden yourself against the collapse that will only get worse, make these changes to help your family survive. What can you store?” is not the right question to ask. “What can you make?” – that’s the right question. Your focus has to be on long-term sustainability, frugality, and self-reliance. Don’t get me wrong – a stockpile is sensible and an essential course of action. It should definitely be part of your preparedness plan. However, you need to also be ready for the time when the supplies in your well-stocked pantry are no longer available. You need to be able to meet as many of your own needs as possible or you’ll end up being one of those people wearing dirty clothes because you can’t find laundry soap or going hungry because you can’t find any food at the stores – or can’t afford it if you can find it. You need to be ready for the end of a consumer-driven lifestyle, because quite frankly, there may soon come a day when there are no consumer goods to be had. Here are some ways to work on your Here are some ways to work on your self-reliance: Looking for the thrifty answer using things you have on hand, instead of purchasing a solution to every problem Fixing things that are broken instead of replacing them Eating simple food you prepare from scratch Producing as much of your own food as possible Learning to forage Using “old-fashioned” alternatives for disposable things like diapers, wipes, feminine hygiene supplies, paper towels, and the like

Learning to make cleaning supplies and soaps, especially from accessible supplies (like vinegar, ash, and foraged natural ingredients)

Learning to make pantry basics like vinegar, sourdough, and cultured dairy products

Learning to preserve your harvests to see you through the lean days of winter

Providing your own services like heat, garbage disposal, and water

Learning about natural remedies from accessible sources

Learning to protect your family and property

It’s only by reducing your need for the things sold in stores that you can exempt yourself from the chaos and desperation that will erupt when everyone realizes that an economic collapse has occurred.

New Information Confirms There Is A Major Political Reckoning On The Horizon And Things Are About To Get Very Ugly - Insider Warns: IT Is About To Hit The Fan

May 20, 2018 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

Part 1: MSM Desperately Starts Spinning And Distracting From Huge News Revealing FBI Spy Infiltrated Trump Campaign To Frame Him Before Russia Probe Began Part 2: The Fallout- After the media went into meltdown mode in order to spin and distract from the blockbusting news that the Obama administration, via the intelligence agencies under his control, did indeed order surveillance on the Trump campaign before the official "Russia investigation" began as well as before and after the 2016 presidential election, a rapid series of articles, legal opinions, and reactions followed. One of which, perhaps the most in-depth and objective, came from Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law at George Washington University, Jonathan Turley. I say Turley's reaction and commentary is the most objective because Turley is not what anyone would consider a "Trump fan," or on the "Trump train," but has always provided fair and balanced analysis on the legalities and optics of the whole Russia-gate issue. Turley's piece over at The Hill is titled "After year of investigation, Trump can rightly claim some vindication," in where he describes the most recent revelation that had the media immediately spinning tales, offering justifications, making sure to provide a take that categorically seemed "sympathetic" to the "deep state," all the while ignoring the ramifications of a sitting administration targeting a candidate from an opposing political party for surveillance, giving the appearance that much of the intelligence community was being used as a political tool to prevent the opposing party's candidate from winning a presidential election. Turley on why he feels President Trump "can rightly claim some vindication": The New York Times this week disclosed that the FBI made a conscious effort to use secret counterintelligence powers to investigate Trump officials and may have had a confidential informant who was used in connection with key Trump figures long before the November 2016 election. (Officials stated anonymously that this was a longstanding source who worked with both the FBI and CIA for years.) In early 2017, President Trump was widely ridiculed for alleging that the Obama administration placed his campaign under surveillance. The response from experts on CNN and other sites was open mockery. Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper came forward to assure the media that he could categorically deny the allegation and stated, “There was no such wiretap activity mounted against the president, the president-elect at the time, or as a candidate, or against his campaign.” The range of media analysis seemed to run from whether Trump was a clinical paranoid or a delusional demagogue. We now know there was, indeed, surveillance ordered repeatedly on Trump campaign figures before and after the election. Rather than acknowledge the troubling implications of an administration investigating the opposing party’s leading candidate for president, the media shifted to saying that there was ample reason to order the surveillance. While the entire article is worth the read, we will jump straight to Turley's concluding paragraphs, which leads us to the instantaneous reaction to president Trump's announcement from today, which seems to have sent the MSM into yet another tailspin. As a nation committed to the rule of law, we need a full and transparent investigation of these allegations. All of the allegations. That includes both the investigation of special counsel Mueller and the investigation of these latest allegations involving the FBI. For many Trump supporters, this new information deepens suspicions of the role of the “deep state.” If we ever hope to come out of these poisonous times as a unified nation, the public must be allowed to see the full record on both sides. Until then, many Americans across the country will continue to believe that, like “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” Trump was greeted after his election by being “crowned with a spike” right through his head. Related: 10 Key Takeaways From The New York Times’ Error-Ridden Defense Of FBI Spying On Trump Campaign Transparency. Legal experts, Trump supporters, congressional Republicans on oversight committees, have all been demanding transparency. The FBI and DOJ, have blocked congress from accessing documents, to the point where they have threatened to subpoena them and hold members of the intelligence community in contempt of congress for their refusal to provide the documentation needed for them to provide the oversight they are charged with. Well, this morning, as part of a series of hard-hitting tweets, President Trump made an announcement that has Washington Post, the intel community mouth-piece, melting down. Trump said "I hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes - and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration!" In response to that particular tweet, former United States Secret Service agent Dan Bongino, predicted "Excellent! The s%^* is about to hit the fan. Watch the media desperately try to insulate Obama as the disturbing truth about the police-state Obama administration comes out." It took a little bit over an hour for his prediction to be proven true as the propaganda arm of the "deep state," otherwise known as Washington Post, to publish their weak attempt to "insulate" the Obama administration, by hyperventilating about Trump's tweet, then claiming how it would be "more explosive" for the president to "order the Justice Department to turn over documents on the confidential source to Congress — which department leaders have said they are unwilling to do." Wait, what?? Yesterday's bombshells about a "source" spying on the Trump campaign at the behest of the FBI, before the Russia probe was even started, came in the form of a NYT article and four Wapo articles, in which they all described said source, in such a manner, that as The Intercept's Glenn Greenwald pointed out, that while they did not use his name they provided "so many details about him that anyone with Google would be able to instantly know his name." This is not about hiding a source. The MSM, with the help of anonymous intelligence community sources, already outed the source, while at the same time refusing to hand the information over to congressional investigators. The fact that they all basically sacrificed the source after such a long, protracted and very public battle about identifying the source, tells us there is something even bigger, much more damning and damaging to the intelligence community and specifically the former Obama officials, getting ready to drop. Whether that information will be part of the upcoming DOJ OIG report regarding misconduct on the part of the FBI, DOJ, and other intelligence agencies, or something else, is unknown at this point. Immediately following the Wapo article, the other propaganda arm of the intel community, the New York Times, jumped into action, claiming that Trump's tweet "went beyond his usual tactics of suggesting wrongdoing and political bias by those investigating him, and crossed over into applying overt presidential pressure on the Justice Department to do his bidding, an extraordinary realm where past presidents have rarely tread." NYT took their hyperbole even further than Wapo did, claiming Trump's demand "could force a clash between the sitting president and his Justice Department that is reminiscent of the one surrounding Richard M. Nixon during Watergate." Other freakouts include media personalities via social media, with MSNBC's Justice & Security Analyst Matthew Miller declaring that President Trump has "crossed the red line." BuzzFeed's legal editor Chris Geidner, states "The tweet could set up a constitutional crisis......" While a whole host of media personalities are running to protect the Obama/Clinton cabal of "deep staters," one of the most ironic comes from CNN analyst and liberal-leaning lawfareblog contributing editor Carrie Cordero, who says "The Department of Justice doesn't open investigations for political purposes, which is what the president says today he will order tomorrow. There are rules. And I'm convinced there are people left in this government who will follow them." Considering the investigation President Trump is demanding is into how the DOJ, under Obama, did open investigations into Trump campaign members being opened for "political purposes," which is now public knowledge, her assertion is actually laughable. Americans now get to see how opposed to transparency the liberal media is, to truth seeing the light of day and to governmental wrongdoings being exposed. Frankly this is unprecedented. It is unbelievable the lengths the liberal media is willing to go to prevent the American people from seeing how politicized the intelligence community had become during the Obama administration, to the point where they spied on an opposing party's presidential campaign, withheld information from the FISA court about who funded their "probable cause" (Steele dossier) to apply for a surveillance warrant, created the Russia investigation as an "insurance policy," in case Donald Trump won the 2016 election, and then the former FBI Director, James Comey admitted to leaking classified memos to a friend with the sole purpose of having his friend leak it to the media in order to spur a special counsel to conduct the Russia probe. The media need to be held accountable by their audience for their attempts to prevent their followers from learning the extent of corruption the media has refused to inform them of. There is a major reckoning on the horizon, not just for corrupt intelligence officials, former and current, but for the liberal media. Related Must-Read: “Collusion against Trump” timeline BOTTOM LINE - ANALYSIS ON TIMING President Trump's original tweets regarding being surveilled by the Obama administration before the election came in March 2017, so what exactly took so long to finally get to the point where everything is coming out now? A step back to look at the bigger picture and what has occurred over the last year-plus, provides us with some clues. In February 2017, described as the "bloodbath" at the State Department, former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson cleared out the "seventh floor," who had previously been quoted as calling themselves "The Shadow Government." Since President Trump took office, we have seen a number of people terminated, including but not limited to Former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates, Former FBI Director James Comey, and Former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe. We have also seen a number of other FBI and DOJ senior level employees reassigned (Peter Strzok/Lisa Page), demoted (Bruce Ohr) and others taken out of positions of influence. During that time, President Trump has also set a record for the most ever federal appeals judges confirmed during the first year of a presidency, as well as a Supreme Court Judge. In other words, the president has re-positioned or removed Obama holdovers that could have influenced or obstructed a proper investigation, while re-balancing the courts that became full of liberal activists, while giving the DOJ Inspector General times to conclude his investigations into possible misconduct on the part of those intelligence members. The IG report is finished, has been handed over to the proper parties for viewing so that they can submit their official response to be added to the report before it is released publicly and word is, the IG has prepared criminal referrals in regards to their conduct in the Clinton investigation. The IG has also been tasked with investigating possible FISA abuses. Now that the intelligence community has been forced to admit they did indeed spy on the Trump campaign before the Russia investigation officially began, it is time to expose the rest, which is exactly what President Trump just announced he planned on doing. Things are about to get very ugly. [Update] Rod Rosenstein hasn't even waited for President Trump to officially order the investigation, he has already "asked the Justice Department's inspector general Sunday to review whether there was improper politically motivated surveillance of the Trump campaign in 2016," according to Washington Examiner.

Stopping Robert Mueller to protect us all

By Mark Penn, opinion contributor — 05/20/18 07:00 PM EDT

19,488  The views expressed by contributors are their own and not the view of The Hill

The “deep state” is in a deep state of desperation. With little time left before the Justice Department inspector general’s report becomes public, and with special counsel Robert Mueller having failed to bring down Donald Trump after a year of trying, they know a reckoning is coming. At this point, there is little doubt that the highest echelons of the FBI and the Justice Department broke their own rules to end the Hillary Clinton “matter,” but we can expect the inspector general to document what was done or, more pointedly, not done. It is hard to see how a yearlong investigation of this won’t come down hard on former FBI Director James Comey and perhaps even former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who definitely wasn’t playing mahjong in a secret “no aides allowed” meeting with former President Clinton on a Phoenix airport tarmac. With this report on the way and congressional investigators beginning to zero in on the lack of hard, verified evidence for starting the Trump probe, current and former intelligence and Justice Department officials are dumping everything they can think of to save their reputations. But it is backfiring. They started by telling the story of Alexander Downer, an Australian diplomat, as having remembered a bar conversation with George Papadopoulos, a foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign. But how did the FBI know they should talk to him? That’s left out of their narrative. Downer’s signature appears on a $25 million contribution to the Clinton Foundation. You don’t need much imagination to figure that he was close with Clinton Foundation operatives who relayed information to the State Department, which then called the FBI to complete the loop. This wasn’t intelligence. It was likely opposition research from the start. In no way would a fourth-hand report from a Maltese professor justify wholesale targeting of four or five members of the Trump campaign. It took Christopher Steele, with his funding concealed through false campaign filings, to be incredibly successful at creating a vast echo chamber around his unverified, fanciful dossier, bouncing it back and forth between the press and the FBI so it appeared that there were multiple sources all coming to the same conclusion. Time and time again, investigators came up empty. Even several sting operations with an FBI spy we just learned about failed to produce a DeLorean-like video with cash on the table. But rather than close the probe, the deep state just expanded it. All they had were a few isolated contacts with Russians and absolutely nothing related to Trump himself, yet they pressed forward. Egged on by Steele, they simply believed Trump and his team must be dirty. They just needed to dig deep enough. Perhaps the murkiest event in the timeline is Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s appointment of a special counsel after he personally recommended Comey’s firing in blistering terms. With Attorney General Jeff Sessions shoved out of the way, Rosenstein and Mueller then ignored their own conflicts and took charge anyway. Rosenstein is a fact witness, and Mueller is a friend of Comey, disqualifying them both. Flush with 16 prosecutors, including a former lawyer for the Clinton Foundation, and an undisclosed budget, the Mueller investigation has been a scorched-earth effort to investigate the entirety of the Trump campaign, Trump business dealings, the entire administration and now, if it was not Russia, maybe it’s some other country. The president’s earlier legal team was naive in believing that, when Mueller found nothing, he would just end it. Instead, the less investigators found, the more determined and expansive they became. This president and his team now are on a better road to put appropriate limits on all this. This process must now be stopped, preferably long before a vote in the Senate. Rather than a fair, limited and impartial investigation, the Mueller investigation became a partisan, open-ended inquisition that, by its precedent, is a threat to all those who ever want to participate in a national campaign or an administration again. Its prosecutions have all been principally to pressure witnesses with unrelated charges and threats to family, or just for a public relations effect, like the indictment of Russian internet trolls. Unfortunately, just like the Doomsday Machine in “Dr. Strangelove” that was supposed to save the world but instead destroys it, the Mueller investigation comes with no “off” switch: You can’t fire Mueller. He needs to be defeated, like Ken Starr, the independent counsel who investigated President Clinton. Finding the “off” switch will not be easy. Step one here is for the Justice Department inspector general report to knock Comey out of the witness box. Next, the full origins of the investigation and its lack of any real intelligence needs to come out in the open. The attorney general, himself the target of a secret investigation, needs to take back his Justice Department. Sessions needs to act quickly, along with U.S. Attorney John Huber, appointed to conduct an internal review of the FBI, on the Comey and McCabe matters following the inspector general report, and then announce an expanded probe into other abuses of power. The president’s lawyers need to extend their new aggressiveness from words to action, filing complaints with the Justice Department’s Office of Professional Responsibility on the failure of Mueller and Rosenstein to recuse themselves and going into court to question the tactics of the special counsel, from selective prosecutions on unrelated matters, illegally seizing Government Services Administration emails, covering up the phone texts of FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, and operating without a scope approved by the attorney general. (The regulations call for the attorney general to recuse himself from the investigation but appear to still leave him responsible for the scope.) The final stopper may be the president himself, offering two hours of testimony, perhaps even televised live from the White House. The last time America became obsessed with Russian influence in America was the McCarthy hearings in the 1950s. Those ended only when Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R-Wis.) attacked an associate of the U.S. Army counsel, Joseph Welch, and Welch famously responded: “Sir, have you no decency?” In this case, virtually every associate and family member of the president has been subject to smears conveniently leaked to the press. Stopping Mueller isn’t about one president or one party. It’s about all presidents and all parties. It’s about cleaning out and reforming the deep state so that our intelligence operations are never used against opposing campaigns without the firmest of evidence. It’s about letting people work for campaigns and administrations without needing legal defense funds. It’s about relying on our elections to decide our differences.

As 5G Techno Kill Grid Is Established All Around Us, Experts Warn The Odds Of An AI Catastrophe Could Be As High As One In Ten

- In Scientific Game, Rogue AI Destroys Humanity, Bringing An Instant 'Loss' Of The Game

May 20, 2018 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

In this May 18th story over at Market Watch titled "How To Prevent Artificial-Intelligence-Driven Machines From Taking Over The World", they report that parameters and policies on the usage of AI should be set now with companies and government's deploying the powerful technologies which are now transforming nearly ever sector of our society. Reporting within their story that the reason why many people can't quite understand the apocalyptic view of AI potentially taking over the world is because they don't understand the difference between the two types of AI, they then explain the difference between the two, 'narrow AI' and 'artificial general intelligence', which helps bring things into focus. And while their story also paints a balanced picture of AI, it's quite clear to those paying attention that AI is ushering in the the 'beast system' before our very eyes as Sharon Gilbert reports in this must-read new story over at Sky Watch TV titled "SUMMONING THE DRAGON: Artificial Intelligence And The Coming Beast System". With 5G and the 'internet of things' also being rolled out at this time and helping to comprise the 'summoning of the dragon', we've previously warned on ANP that those who aren't prepared for this opening of pandora's box are going to be bushwhacked by it. And as we see in 1st video below from videographer The Fullerton Informer, there are signs to indicate this 5G kill grid that is being established around us will result in forced vaccinations as the elite continue their plans to cull humanity. First, from the Market Watch story on the difference between the two kinds of AI. To understand what is at stake, consider the distinction between “narrow AI” and “artificial general intelligence” (AGI). Narrow AI can operate only in one or a few domains at a time, so while it may outperform humans in select tasks, it remains under human control. AGI, by contrast, can reason across a wide range of domains, and thus could replicate many human intellectual skills, while retaining all of the advantages of computers, such as perfect memory recall. Run on sophisticated computer hardware, AGI could outpace human cognition. In fact, it is hard to conceive an upper limit for how advanced AGI could become. Another way of thinking about the potential threat of AGI is to compare it to other catastrophic risks. In the 1990s, the U.S. Congress saw fit to have NASA track large asteroids that could collide with the earth, even though the odds of that happening are around one in 5,000 per century. With AGI, the odds of a catastrophe over the upcoming century could be as high as one in a hundred, or even one in ten, judging by the pace of R&D and the strength of expert concern. While their story takes a very balanced look at AI, they also warn that "what matters most is that we take constructive action now to minimize the risk of a catastrophe down the road. This is not a task that we can hope to complete at the last minute." Yet as AI experts such as Elon Musk have warned, very little in the AI or transhumanists fields are being regulated. As Gilbert reports within her story over at Sky Watch TV, "those who keep an eye on trends can see what lies ahead, but even the sharpest vision may not foresee everything." Yet as Steve Quayle warns in his new book "Terminated: The End Of Man Is Here", "refusing to recognize the dangers that we face, even when it stared them in the face, will lead to the end of the human race". As this January story over at Newsweek reported, scientists recently simulated such AGI intelligence within a video game that was a modification of the strategy game "Civilization 5" and quite predictably, the AI soon took over. Reporting that at first, AI provided some benefits to humanity, those benefits didn't last long at all. From their story: One outcome offers a dire prophecy of the demise of humanity, achieving the game’s aim of helping players better understand the existential threat posed by advanced artificial intelligence.Artificial intelligence can initially provide some benefits, and eventually can turn into superintelligence that brings mastery of science to its discoverer,” the researchers write in the add-on’s description. “However, if too much artificial intelligence research goes uncontrolled, rogue superintelligence can destroy humanity and bring an instant loss of the game.” In this scenario, a message appears in the game that reads: “A device for creating utopia on Earth has been discovered, and your civilization was not the one to discover it. Future generations will live in a perfect world, but someone else’s perfect world, as your civilization lies forgotten in the ancient books of history.” The Newsweek story goes on to report that this wasn't the first time that such a video game had been created that resulted in detrimental consequences to humanity from 'rogue AI' and as they tell us, while the goals of AI may be simple, if it is not programmed to value human life, catastrophe absolutely awaits. Warning also that a huge fear is once AI becomes smarter than those who created it, it will be impossible for people to shut down, it's long been warned that once the AI genie is out of the bottle, there will be no way to cap it. Once again, from the Newsweek story: The game Paperclips explored the parable of an AI programmed to manufacture paperclips, first described by the philosopher Nick Bostrom in a 2003 paper exploring ethical issues in advanced artificial intelligence. While the goal of the AI is simple, if it is not programmed to value human life then it could eventually gather all matter in the universeincluding human beings—in order to create more paperclips. Both games highlight the fear that a machine smarter than humans will be impossible to switch off. At a conference in 2015, Bostrom hypothesized why neanderthals didn’t wipe out humans when they had the chance to avoid being taken over as the dominant species on the planet. “They certainly had reasons,” Bostrom said in his TED (technology, entertainment and design) talk. “The reason is that we are an intelligent adversary. We can anticipate threats and plan around them. But so could a super intelligent agent and it would be much better at that than we are.” Other academics are already working on safeguards and ways to preclude such risk, most notably Google’s DeepMind—headed by another video game simulation pioneer, Demis Hassabis. In a peer-reviewed paper in 2016, researchers from DeepMind described an off switch that would override any previous commands and shut down the AI and prevent any potential apocalyptic scenarios. Dire warnings about advanced AI have become increasingly common in recent years within academic and tech circles, with Stephen Hawking one of the most outspoken voices. “Success in creating AI could be the biggest event in the history of our civilization,” Hawking said at an event in Cambridge in 2016. “But it could also be the last—unless we learn how to avoid the risks. Alongside the benefits, AI will also bring dangers like powerful autonomous weapons or new ways for the few to oppress the many.” And while just a metaphor, might rogue AI one day 'turn human beings into paperclips'? With government's and corporations leading the way in the rollout of AI and no real regulation to ensure that such AI is being programmed to value human life, the warnings from 'the watchmen' about the potential dangers of AI cannot be over-emphasized. In an episode of the television show "Person Of Interest", a show which features a 'present day' America watched over every second of every day by an artificially intelligent 'machine', the plot of one particular story featured a wealthy business woman who is murdered because she questioned the safety of a technology used with one of her company's new product. The technology? 5G. We have embedded the 2nd video below which features one of the main characters warning that microwave radiation from 5G will cook the human body and as our videographer points out, "Person Of Interest" pointed out these potential dangers of 5G years ahead of its rollout. With the show also warning of the dangers of AI and the still unfolding 'surveillance state' in America, as Susan Duclos mentioned to me while we were watching the episode, it shouldn't be a surprise that "Person Of Interest" was cancelled as their warnings about 5G and the potential dangers of AI cut far too close to 'the truth'. And while the mainstream media would never admit that deadly marriage between 5G and AI could spawn the destruction of the human race, the excerpt republished below from this story over at Washington's Blog helps to put things into proper perspective. The Same Frequencies Used for Pain-Inflicting Crowd Control Weapons Form the Foundation of the Network that Will Tie Together More Than 50 Billion Devices As Part of the Internet of Things. We previously noted that the Internet of Things (IoT) is a scam … being pushed so that Big Brother can spy on us. Believe it or not, IoT may also pose health and safety risks. Devra Lee Davis – Founding Director of the Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology of the U.S. National Research Council says that the 5G wavelengths used in IoT have never been tested for health effects, and may adversely impact our skin and sweat glands: Dr. Davis’ group – Environmental Health Trust – explains: Israeli research studies presented at an international conference reveal that the same electromagnetic frequencies used for crowd control weapons form the foundation of the latest network – branded as 5G – that will tie together more than 50 billion devices as part of the Internet of Things. Current investigations of wireless frequencies in the millimeter and submillimeter range confirm that these waves interact directly with human skin, specifically the sweat glands. Dr. Ben-Ishai of the Department of Physics, Hebrew University, Israel recently detailed how human sweat ducts act like an array of helical antennas when exposed to these wavelengths. Scientists cautioned that before rolling out 5G technologies that use these frequencies, research on human health effects needed to be done first to ensure the public and environment are protected. In another new story over at Skywatch TV they report that the world's most influential synthetic biologist is now testing genetic engineering that might be used to make 'post-humans' immortal. Just the latest recent story we've read that shows that one of the main goals of transhumanism is 'eternal life', New Scientist recently reported the transhumanists goals of "ultimately escape death by turning themselves into machines – is hundreds of years old, and as controversial as ever." With the globalists also pushing transhumanism as a new religion, will the merging of man and machine bring with it the globalists desired 'utopia' or be another step that eventually brings about the end of the human race? As Steve Quayle has warned, those who fall for transhumanism and merging themselves with machines have fallen for the globalists "ultimate seduction". How can we prepare for what is coming? Embrace Jesus and get off the grid if any way possible. While the 'father of transhumanism' promotes that robotic implants in human brains will bring 'Godhood' to those who've fallen for that 'ultimate seduction', as we read in this April of 2017 story over at Linked In titled "AI (Artificial Intelligence) and Transhumanism are the Dead End of Humanity as We KNOW it...", it'll eventually bring just the opposite. The final video below is the trailer for Steve Quayle's new book "Terminated: The End Of Man Is Here". I certainly do not agree that technology will make us "godlike". Just the opposite, it will make us "subhuman and technological garbage". If GOD would just be a computer in the universe, He would have created humanity as little chips and computer interfaces, instead GOD chose to give MAN free will. So we shall use our free will to break free from this technology Prison Planet and go back to interacting with each other as Human Beings.

The Russians Can Take Down Our Grid and Communications

By Dave Hodges

Our country has been sold out. Over the past 7 years, the Russians have been put into position to take down our grid and our communications. Obama was the catalyst, but his dirty work continues. Here is an outline of what Obama has done to the safety and security of the American people. He helped author a bilateral agreement in 2011 with the Russian Foreign Ministry which brought the FIRST 15,000 Russian troops to America. This was the first ever appearance of Russian soldiers on American soil. In 2013, Obama allowed the Russians and the Chinese to participate in the Grid Ex drills. The Russians would have learned how to take down the grid. Paul Martin, through a high level, deep-cover source has learned that Russian operatives have been placed in key positions in the telecoms. So, not only do the Russians know how to take down our grid. They have been put into position to take down our communications as well. Why do I believe Paul Martin’s source? Because his revelations fit hand in glove with what I already know to be true about the Russian infiltration. Here is a brief recounting of the Russian infiltration with enough documentation to circumstantially validate Paul Martin’s claims. What is going on in America, is part of a generations-old plan by the Soviets. Stanislav Lunev and Long-Term Russian Preparations for War Against the U.S. Former Russian Colonel Stanislav Lunev has the distinction of being the highest ranking Russian military officer to defect from to the United States after doing so in 1992, after Boris Yeltsin came to power. Lunev’s information was considered to be so volatile, but accurate, that the CIA, DIA, FBI, NSA placed Lunev, where he remains to this day, in the FBI’s Witness Protection Program. Lunev served as the top GRU agent in America in the 1980’s and 1990’s. While in the United States, Lunev mission involved gathering intelligence information about America’s defenses and recommending Russian war strategies against America. Some of Lunev’s information came to light, when in the 1997, he published his bestselling book Through the Eyes of the Enemy. In the book, Lunev reports that Russia’s military, despite “losing the cold war”, continues in its war preparations which are designed to conquer the United States by stealth. Since his defection, Lunev has served as a special agent to the FBI, CIA as well as many large corporations. Lunev is best known for revealing the missing 100+ missing suitcase nuclear bombs and the threat they would pose to the United States as they would be smuggled across the Mexican border. He also talked about the destruction of American infrastructure through multi-generational infiltration. Obama’s Treason In a treasonous act that would even make Benedict Arnold turn green with envy, FEMA and Russia engaged in an extra-constitutional “agreements” (that means illegal agreements), which were inked in the spring of 2012 in Washington, D.C., at the fourth annual meeting of the illegally created “U.S.-Russia Bilateral Presidential Commission Working Group on Emergency Situations.” This extra-governmental organization, formed under the Obama administration, is one of almost two dozen similar “working groups” bringing together top U.S. and Russian officials. These documents go on to state that FEMA and the Russian military are cooperating on everything from the drug war and agriculture to terror, science, enforcing the “rule of law” (could that be code for martial law?), health, environment, energy, nuclear issues, education, culture, media, business, arms control, and more, according to the U.S. State Department. The following is a quote from the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry: “The Russian Emergency Situations Ministry and the USA Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are going to exchange experts during joint rescue operations in major disasters. This is provided by a protocol of the fourth meeting of the U.S.-Russia Bilateral Presidential Commission Working Group on Emergency Situations and seventeenth meeting of Joint U.S.-Russia Cooperation Committee on Emergency Situations, which took place in Washington on 25 June. The document provides for expert cooperation in disaster response operations and to study the latest practices. In addition, the parties approved of U.S.-Russian cooperation in this field in 2013-2014, which envisages exchange of experience including in monitoring and forecasting emergency situations, training of rescuers, development of mine-rescuing and provision of security at mass events.Don’t be deceived America, this is not just another example of international cooperation between two nations. As far back January of 2012, Russia threatened nuclear war and the threat was issued by the outgoing Russian ambassador to NATO, Dmitry Rogozin, when he said that “Russia has given Iran its bear hug and warns Israel and the West that an attack on Tehran would be considered an attack on Moscow”…. The nuclear attack threatened of the former Russian NATO ambassador is not the only time that the Russians have threatened to nuke the United States. Several years ago, the Russians threatened to nuke targeted American sites in retaliation for a nuclear shield that the US erected in Europe. The unmistakable conclusion is that the Russian government is an enemy of the United States and as such their military does not belong on our soil in any way shape or form. Not only were the Russian troops used in the Grid EX II drill, they were used to police major events on American soil. This is martial law desensitization training in which the Russians are trained to interact with American citizens. In short, these enemies of the Republic are a part of the new martial law enforcement troops and this development defies belief and as I have documented, this will be done under the authority of the United Nations. Obama opened the backdoor and let our enemies in the country in this version of the ultimate “Trojan Horse” scenario. This also explains why Obama turned the United States military upside down on its ear with his endless series of purges of our military leadership. Obama knows that most of the previous military leadership was not on board with the treason coming out of the White House. Therefore, Obama was reshuffling the deck in an attempt to find American generals and admirals who will do his unconstitutional bidding. The agreement even called for Russian troops to engage in policing activities at American public events on American soil. And we are seeing the same thing at the Army base at Fort Carson, Colorado where Russian soldiers were training at the local base and are engaged in local policing activities. This is an euphemism for martial law training as the Russians are being trained to interact with the American public in positions of authority. The backdoor that Obama opened has a lot to do with our power grid. With the news that Hackers can take over the grid on command, we must consider the fact that when Obama allowed the Russians and the Chinese to participate in the EMP prep drills calls Grid EX, he gave our enemies the know how on to simulate an EMP attack and take down the Grid. This has potentially dire consequences for every man, woman and child in America. Here is the complete story… As if this is not bad enough. Paul Martin’s source came forward to announce that the Russians are occupying key positions in the telecom industry. So, they can take down our grid and take down our communications. Here is my intereview with Paul Martin about this development. Rawlins, Wyoming: UN Command and Control with EMP Proof Communications There is more circumstantial proof that Paul’s source is making a legitimate claim. I previously filed a report on UN activity in Rawlins, WY., in which the UN possessed communications equipment that our experts told us would survive an EMP attack upon the grid. “…Both Paul Martin and myself have received voluminous reports about foreign/UN troop activity in the region. Some of these reports led me to file the following report in December of 2017 along with photographic evidence of UN EMP proof communications equipment, as identified my expert, in this region. Here is the previously published report: Over the past 18 months, the small town of Rawlins, Wyoming has come to my attention because of its intimate association with DHS and the UN. Further, this small town of under 10,ooo people has played host to some very large scale bioweapon response drills as well as testing the efficacy of the Federal authorities to be able to respond to a terrorist chemical attack. I have taken the following photos to military personnel who tell me this is an United Nations operation. The particular equipment you are looking at is designed to operate and persevere through an EMP attack. Most recently, Paul Martin and myself have received an identical communication from the Rawlins area. Please take note the following photos:” Now we see UN EMP proof communications in this very bizarre place. If the Russians can now take down our grid and communications, but there similar UN equipment survive, who will win when the fighting starts? Shortly after this report, I started receiving information of similar devices around the country with the first report coming in from Aurora, Colorado. We are in a lot of trouble. Perhaps this kind of historical and current evidence will begin to wake up a slumbering country that we are being conquered by stealth right under our noses.

Dick’s Sporting Goods sales sink after new gun policy

Posted on May 20, 2018 by Dr. Eowyn | 43 Comments

We could have told you so. Mairead Mcardle reports for National Review, March 22, 2018, that Dick’s Sporting Goods has suffered a surprisingly steep downturn in sales since promising to stop selling certain guns: Stock tumbled to the lowest in four months after the sports store banned assault-style weapons from its Field & Stream stores and raised the minimum age for a customer to buy a firearm from 18 to 21. The company’s shares fell 7.3% after going up 13% this year. Sales failed to hit the projected $2.74 billion, tapering off at $2.66 billion for this quarter. However, the store has also suffered problems with overstocking and high discounts, as well as increased competition from places like Nike and Amazon. After the Parkland school shooting last month that killed 17, Dick’s executives were aghast to learn that the young gunman had bought one of his many guns from them, though not the one he used in the shooting. As a sign of solidarity with the student protesters calling for gun control laws, Dick’s announced it would no longer sell assault-style firearms and high-capacity magazines. Dick’s instituted a similar ban after the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting but rescinded it a few months later by introducing assault weapons to its Field & Stream stores. This time, however, the ban is permanent. The company virtue-signaled in a statement: “Thoughts and prayers are not enough. We support and respect the Second Amendment, and we recognize and appreciate that the vast majority of gun owners in this country are responsible, law-abiding citizens. But we have to help solve the problem that’s in front of us.” CEO Edward Stack said the decision to stop selling assault-style firearms and high-capacity magazines is “not going to be positive from a traffic standpoint and a sales standpoint. There’s going to be some pushback and we expected that. There are going to be the people who don’t shop us anymore for anything.” Dick’s still plans to open 19 new stores this year and hopes it will boost their brand.

Contaminated Fukushima Water Storage Tanks "Close To Capacity", TEPCO Admits

by Tyler Durden Sun, 05/20/2018 - 23:15

The Tokyo Electric Power Company is running out of container space to store water contaminated by tritium outside the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, and it's also running out of room for building more tanks, according to Yomiuri Shimbum, a Japanese newspaper, which is creating an intractable problem for the utility, which has been tasked with supervising the cleanup of Fukushima. The Japanese government has been desperately trying to accelerate the cleanup ahead of the upcoming 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo - and it's a miracle it hasn't run into this issue sooner. TEPCO is still struggling with how to dispose of the tritium-tainted water. Options discussed have included dumping it into the ocean, but that proposal has angered local fishing communities. At some point, TEPCO and the government will need to make a difficult decision. Until then, ground water will continue to seep into the ruined reactor, where it becomes contaminated. Afterward, TEPCO can treat the contaminated water to purify it, but they can't remove the tritium, which is why the supply of water contaminated with tritium continues to grow. As one government official pointed out, Japan can't simply store the radioactive water forever. As of now, the company should be able to store water until 2020. Efforts have been made to increase storage capacity by constructing bigger tanks when the time comes for replacing the current ones. But a senior official of the Economy, Trade and Industry Ministry said, "Operation of tanks is close to its capacity." TEPCO plans to secure 1.37 million tons of storage capacity by the end of 2020, but it has not yet decided on a plan for after 2021. Akira Ono, chief decommissioning officer of TEPCO, said, "It is impossible to continue to store [treated water] forever." But after that, Tepco is either going to need to start releasing the tritium water into the ocean (something that has been done by many power plants, but is politically popular in Japan) or find another solution. In fact, an average of 380 trillion becquerels had been annually released into the sea across Japan during the five years before the accident. If the water from Fukushima is diluted to the point that tritium content is only 1 million becquerels per liter, which is more than 10 times higher than the national average for sea release. But if it's diluted, it can eventually be released. However, an industry report has determined that sea release would be the safest and most efficient option. Regarding disposal methods for the treated water, the industry ministry’s working group compiled a report in June 2016 that said that the method of release into the sea is the cheapest and quickest among five ideas it examined. The ideas were (1) release into the sea, (2) release by evaporation, (3) release after electrolysis, (4) burial underground and (5) injection into geological layers. After that, the industry ministry also established an expert committee to look into measures against harmful misinformation. Although a year and a half has passed since the first meeting of the committee, it has not yet reached a conclusion. At the eighth meeting of the committee held on Friday, various opinions were expressed. One expert said, "While the fishery industry [in Fukushima and other prefectures] is in the process of revival, should we dispose of [the treated water] now?" The other said, "In order to advance the decommissioning, the number of tanks should be decreased at an early date." The working group is planning to hold a public hearing to consider other methods of disposal. But if none can be found, Japan will have no choice but to dump the contaminated water into the ocean.

State Sets Massive Precedent, Passes Law To Effectively Ban The NSA

By Rachel Blevins

Michigan has become the first state to ban the National Security Agency’s intrusive data collection practices by passing a law that prohibits law enforcement and state agencies from turning over personal data to the federal government without due process. The Fourth Amendment Rights Protection Act, or HB4430, will go into effect next month after it passed the Michigan state legislature with overwhelming support and only one “no” vote. The text of the bill states that its purpose is to prohibit this state and certain other governmental agents, employees, and entities in this state from assisting a federal agency in obtaining certain forms of data without a warrant; and to prohibit certain uses of certain data collected without a warrant. According to the new law, the state and its political subdivisions “shall not assist, participate with, or provide material support or resources to a federal agency to enable it to collect or to facilitate in the collection or use of a person’s electronic data or metadata,” unless at least or more of the following criteria are met: The person has given informed consent. The action is pursuant to a warrant that is based upon probable cause and particularly describes the person, place, or thing to be searched or seized. The action is in accordance with a legally recognized exception to warrant requirements. The action will not infringe on any reasonable expectation of privacy the person may have. This state or a political subdivision of this state collected the electronic data or metadata legally.” As the Washington Examiner reported, the new law is “the biggest accomplishment yet growing out of efforts to block water to a massive NSA data-storage center in Bluffdale, Utah.” Similar laws have been proposed and have fallen short in states such as Alaska, Maryland, South Carolina, and Washington. The Fourth Amendment Rights Protection Act in Michigan claims the “electronic data” that will be protected from the NSA includes “an electronic communication or the use of an electronic communication service,” “the precise or approximate location of the sender or recipients of an electronic communication,” and “the identity of an individual or device involved in the communication.” Michigan State Rep. Martin Howrylak, a sponsor of the bill, told the Examiner that he believes its passage “speaks to the fact that a lot of the domestic surveillance of American citizens is highly unpopular.” “It hangs up a sign on Michigan’s door saying, ‘No violation of the Fourth Amendment, look elsewhere,’” Howrylak said. “Democrats, as well as Republicans, would certainly stand very strong in our position on what this law means.” While Howrylak said he thinks the law makes “a strong court case saying this is what the state intends,” he hopes other states will join in by passing similar legislation, in an effort to cripple the NSA’s illegal activities. Next month marks 5 years since former NSA contractor Edward Snowden released a trove of classified documents revealing that the United States government was routinely collecting metadata from innocent American citizens without warrants, and using “national security” to justify its actions. Secret $1.8 Million Cryptocurrency Script While the NSA’s warrantless data collection was ruled illegal by a court in June 2015, it has continued and the government has attempted to cover up its illegal actions by writing them into law. The latest example of this occurred earlier this year when Congress reauthorized Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). Section 702 has served as the foundation for the NSA’s largest and most egregious surveillance programs for the last decade. The first attempt to reauthorize it was through the introduction of the USA Liberty Act. As The Free Thought Project reported, Congress claimed the bill would “better protect Americans’ privacy” by requiring the government to have “a legitimate national security purpose” before searching an individual’s database. However, what the bill did not advertise was the fact that it did not actually address the legitimate problems that exist with Section 702. The FBI’s “legitimate national security purpose” could be justified by just about any reason the agency chooses to give, and agents would only need supervisory authority in order to search Americans’ metadata. When the USA Liberty Act failed, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence introduced the FISA Amendments Reauthorization Act of 2017, which renewed Section 702 for six years, after it was included in a massive spending bill passed by Congress. By signing the Fourth Amendment Rights Protection Act into law, the state of Michigan is taking a stand against the federal government’s unconstitutional practice of stealing data from innocent Americans without a warrant, and it is setting a precedent for other states in the country to follow.

Venezuelans Vote in Election Overshadowed by Crisis

By Andrew Rosati

May 20, 2018, 7:00 AM EDT Updated on May 20, 2018, 10:03 PM EDT

Venezuelans went to the polls Sunday in an election ignored by much of the country, but one that could set its path for decades to come. Scant, apathetic crowds formed outside Caracas voting stations. Many Venezuelans are shunning what they say is sham that will guarantee President Nicolas Maduro another six-year term. The country’s main opposition coalition is boycotting the vote, leaving Henri Falcon, a former governor, and televangelist Javier Bertucci, to attempt to animate a nation ravaged by hunger and hyperinflation. Just before 10 p.m., Falcon said the results of the election were suspect and illegitimate. In a late-night press conference, Falcon told reporters the vote was “neither transparent or clean.” “For us, there were no elections,” he said. “There need to be new elections.” Government supporters were gathering outside the Miraflores presidential palace in anticipation of a Maduro victory celebration. Food Shortages Earlier Sunday, Hector Hernandez, a 42-year-old military sergeant standing outside a voting center in the eastern district of Chacao, said his superiors required him to vote. “I’m here because I have to be,” said Hernandez, who said he struggles to feed his four children given hyperinflation and food shortages. Hernandez said he planned to cast his ballot against Maduro but held little hope it would bring change. “We’re in the middle of a disaster, but there is no chance they’re leaving. If I were a civilian, I’d be at home.” The United Nations has refused to certify Venezuela’s polling as fair. On Sunday, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan reiterated during an interview in Buenos Aires that America wouldn’t recognize the winner and that oil sanctions are under “active review.” While election observers have been invited from across the region and from Russia and Europe, they’re powerless to control a government accused of employing dirty tricks from intimidating voters to stuffing ballot boxes. Weekend Chores In neighborhoods such as 23 de Enero, Catia and Propatria -- some of the most populous in Caracas -- none of the voting centers had lines and only about a sixth of the electorate had voted by late morning. In Chacao, an opposition stronghold, more people were attending Mass at a church on a plaza than were in line to vote. Most business were shuttered and streets were eerily empty as many residents stayed home or busied themselves with weekend chores. “Today’s plan is to watch television and go to the pool,” said Andres Gonzalez, 25, the owner of a locksmith business, as he emerged from a supermarket. ‘Red Points’ Government supporters set up kiosks called “Red Points” near polling stations, which were to close at 6 p.m. They asked people who voted to show the Maduro-promoted Fatherland Card that’s required to receive subsidized food, and questioned them about their jobs and what government programs they use. Outside a station in the working-class neighborhood of San Martin near downtown Caracas, Maribel Machado, a 60-year-old retired teacher, helped take down names. She denied that voters were being threatened with hunger, saying the state was simply trying to better distribute its resources. “The opposition simply doesn’t want people to vote, what they have called for is violence and have spread lies,” Machado said. Falcon cast his vote in the western state of Lara, the state he once ran as governor, and called the Red Points an “intimidation mechanism, a form of political and social bribery that tried to buy voter’s dignity by scanning their I.D." Maduro rebutted claims that the vote was unfair and demanded “respect” for Venezuela’s election. “To the world, I say stop the ferocious campaign of confusion,” he said at press conference broadcast from a voting center in central Caracas, where he cast his ballot early in the day. The opposition alliance shunned the elections after the government refused to satisfy its demands, including restaffing a compliant electoral authority and providing additional time for primaries. While many polls have given a commanding lead to Falcon, he’s struggled to gain widespread support as many Maduro opponents accused him legitimizing a sham vote. And Bertucci has further split the diminished opposition bloc. But even as Maduro, 55, has consolidated political power, reviving Venezuela’s economy has been beyond his grasp. After years of mismanagement and a plunge in oil prices, it’s deteriorated to the point that electricity and running water have become luxuries, and malnutrition is rampant. Maduro has dealt out large and profitable sectors of the economy to the armed forces, installing soldiers in key positions at the state oil producer, PDVSA, and empowered the military to oversee the nation’s food supply. Unlucky Numbers However, the president, a former bus driver and foreign minister, has given little indication of his plans to remedy inflation that may hit 13,000 percent this year, and an economic contraction that could reach 9.2 percent. Maduro’s promise of an “economic revolution” is complicated by the threats from U.S. to punish the nation’s oil industry. Five years ago, oil was trading at over $100 a barrel, which gave the ruling socialists leeway. Now, it’s near $67 a barrel -- even after significant gains this year -- and the state producer’s creditors are already seizing its assets. Few expect that Maduro, who insists the crisis is the result of sabotage by business leaders and political foes, will change course if he wins, as expected, another six-year term. But if he loses, the nation may begin to climb out of a deep hole. “There is no evidence to suggest that Maduro has the intention or the ability to reform,” said Phil Gunson, a Caracas-based analyst at the International Crisis group. Worthless Currency Falcon and his adviser Francisco Rodriguez -- until recently the chief economist at boutique investment firm Torino Capital -- want to dollarize Venezuela’s moribund economy, swapping the worthless bolivar for the greenback, as Ecuador and El Salvador have done. They say their proposal would unwind years of byzantine currency controls and provide monthly subsidies to offset the adjustment. Bertucci, a businessman and evangelical preacher, has focused on promoting “Christian values” rather than on specific policy proposals. He said the economy must be fixed, corruption fought, and the nation’s humanitarian crisis healed, but has offered few ideas about how he might go about doing that. On Sunday, evidence of Venezuela’s economic crisis could be seen on every corner where trash bags had been dumped. Each had been ripped open and the contents spread across the sidewalks as hungry residents scavenged for food. — With assistance by Patricia Laya, and Noris Soto

Man gets dangerously close to a river of lava to take photo amid new warning for Hawaii residents of toxic cloud of GLASS particles and hydrochloric ACID from the Kilauea volcano

The Kilauea volcano on Hawaii's Big Island has become increasingly hazardous

The man donning shorts and flip-flops was seen taking pictures of a sea of lava that has consumed a valley

Molten rock poured into the ocean and sent clouds of hydrochloric acid and volcanic glass into the air

Lava flows have picked up speed in recent days, spattering molten rock that hit a man in the leg on Saturday

Kilauea volcano began erupting more than two weeks ago and burned dozens of homes

By Associated Press Published: 00:54 EDT, 20 May 2018 | Updated: 07:44 EDT, 21 May 2018

A man in shorts, T-shirt and flip-flops was seen on Sunday taking pictures of a sea of lava that has consumed a valley and woodland in the Puna District of Hawaii. The volcano that is oozing, spewing and exploding on Hawaii's Big Island became more hazardous - sending rivers of molten rock pouring into the ocean as well as hydrochloric acid and volcanic glass into the air. Kilauea volcano began erupting more than two weeks ago and has burned dozens of homes, forced thousands of people to flee and shot up ash clouds from its summit that led officials to distribute face masks. Lava flows have picked up speed in recent days, spattering molten rock that hit a man in the leg, the first major injury to occur. He was outside his home Saturday in the remote, rural region affected by the volcano when the lava 'hit him on the shin and shattered everything from there down on his leg,' Janet Snyder, Hawaii County mayor's spokeswoman, told the Hawaii News Now TV station. Lava that's flying through the air from cracks in the Earth can weigh as much as a refrigerator and even small pieces can be deadly, officials said. The injury came the same day that lava began streaming across a highway and flowing into the ocean. The interaction of lava and seawater has created a cloud of steam laced with hydrochloric acid and fine glass particles that can irrigate the skin and eyes and cause breathing problems. The lava haze, or 'laze,' extended as far as 15 miles (24 kilometers) west of where the lava gushed into the ocean on the Big Island's southern coast. It was just offshore and running parallel to the coast, said U.S. Geological Survey scientist Wendy Stovall. Residents view lava erupting from a Kilauea volcano fissure, at a small viewing party on a neighbor's porch, on Hawaii's Big Island on Saturday. Residents can't do much but stay informed and be ready to get out of the way Authorities warn that the plume could shift direction if the winds change. The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory says sulfur dioxide emissions also have tripled. Residents in the area have been evacuated, and the highway that the lava crossed has shut down in places. Joseph Kekedi, an orchid grower who lives and works about 3 miles (5 kilometers) from where lava is pouring into the sea, said luckily the flow didn't head his way. At one point, it was about a mile upslope from his property in the coastal community of Kapoho. He said residents can't do much but stay informed and be ready to get out of the way. 'Here's nature reminding us again who's boss,' Kekedi said. He is hosting a 90-year-old who evacuated from the Leilani Estates neighborhood, where lava started spewing May 3. He also was storing belongings for other friends who had to leave their homes. Kekedi said most of his neighbors are optimistic. He has friends who lost houses when lava smothered the town of Kalapana in the 1990s but they built again, found a good life and 'life went on.'

HAWAII VOLCANO: No end in sight as fresh magma mixes with old

PAHOA, Hawaii — Lava oozing out of cracks for two weeks in rural Hawaii neighbourhoods took on new characteristics as fresher magma mixed with decades-old magma, sending a flow toward the ocean Saturday. Since a first fissure opened in a community on May 3, lava was mostly spattering up and collecting at the edges of the cracks in the ground. Two neighbourhoods with nearly 2,000 people were forced to evacuate as lava claimed 40 structures. On Friday afternoon, the lava changed dramatically with one fissure ramping up and sending a flow across a road, destroying four more homes and isolating residents, some of whom had to be air-lifted to safety. The change is attributed to new magma mixing with 1955-era magma in the ground, creating hotter and more fluid flows, scientists said “There’s much more stuff coming out of the ground and it’s going to produce flows that move further away,” said Wendy Stovall, a U.S. Geological Survey volcanologist. By Saturday morning, two of 22 fissures had merged, creating a wide flow advancing at rates of up to 300 yards (274 metres) per hour. Aerial footage from the USGS showed fast-moving lava advancing to the southeast. The flow was 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometres) from the ocean, scientists said. In the background, the footage showed lava fountaining 328 feet (100 metres) high at one of the fissures. The fountains are created by vents closing, forcing magma to burst through a single outpoint, Stovall said. If lava threatens main highways, more people will be told to prepare for voluntary evacuation. A lava flow was less than a mile (kilometre) away from Highway 137 and would reach it in a matter of hours, officials warned Saturday afternoon. No one lives in its path and another highway remained open as an escape route, said Hawaii County spokeswoman Janet Snyder. A handful of people were trapped when lava crossed a road Friday and some of them needed to be airlifted to safety. “They shouldn’t be in that area,” said County Managing Director Wil Okabe. He wants people to heed evacuation warnings. Edwin Montoya, who lives with his daughter on her farm near the site where lava crossed the road and cut off access, said the fissure opened and grew quickly. “It was just a little crack in the ground, with a little lava coming out,” he said. “Now it’s a big crater that opened up where the small little crack in the ground was.” Experts are uncertain about when the volcano might calm down. The Big Island volcano released a small explosion at its summit just before midnight Friday, sending an ash cloud 10,000 feet (3,048 metres) into the sky. The USGS’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said eruptions that create even minor amounts of ashfall could occur at any time. This follows the more explosive eruption Thursday, which emitted ash and rocks thousands of feet into the sky. No one was injured and there were no reports of damaged property. It came two weeks after the volcano began sending lava flows into neighbourhoods 25 miles (40 kilometres) to the east of the summit. Several open fissure vents are still producing lava splatter and flow in evacuated areas. Gas is also pouring from the vents, cloaking homes and trees in smoke. Meanwhile, more explosive eruptions from the summit are possible. “We have no way of knowing whether this is really the beginning or toward the end of this eruption,” said Tom Shea, a volcanologist at the University of Hawaii. “We’re kind of all right now in this world of uncertainty.” U.S. government scientists, however, are trying to pin down those signals “so we have a little better warning,” said Wendy Stovall, a volcanologist with the observatory. The greatest ongoing hazard stems from the lava flows and the hot, toxic gases spewing from open fissure vents close to homes and critical infrastructure, said Charles Mandeville of the U.S. Geological Survey’s volcano hazards program. Authorities have been measuring gases, including sulfur dioxide, rising in little puffs from open vents. The area affected by lava and ash is small compared to the Big Island, which is about 4,000 square miles. Most of the island and the rest of the Hawaiian chain is unaffected by the volcanic activity on Kilauea. State and local officials have been reminding tourists that flights in and out of the entire state, including the Big Island, have not been impacted. Even on the Big Island, most tourist activities are still available and businesses are open.

Coast Guard enforcing safety zone around lava entry point to the ocean

Dillon Ancheta Posted: 05/20/2018 10:16 AM

PUNA, BIG ISLAND (HawaiiNewsNow) - Two lava flows are now pouring into the Pacific Ocean from the Kilauea eruption. The flows are dripping into the water on the southeast side of the island, in the vicinity of the Mackenzie State Park. It's a beautiful sight that could come with the hazardous effects of a new concern: Laze. Civil Defense officials say laze is formed when hot lava hits the ocean. The change in temperature creates hydrochloric acid and steam. Within the steam, fine glass particles may be dispersed through the air. Officials say laze is hazardous, and can result in lung, eye and skin irritation. Laze travels through the air and the plume is dispersed with the wind. The spread of the plume may change at a moment's notice. It is always safest to observe lava flows from appropriate areas and lookouts as designated by officials. With the Kilauea eruption in Puna, officials are asking the public to stay out the Leilani Estates and Lanipuna Gardens areas and avoid sightseeing. etc. Full Story

Washington’s Glacier Peak volcano is among the most dangerous but remains the least-monitored and the least-studied in the Cascade range

By Strange Sounds - May 20, 2018

Washington’s hidden Glacier Peak volcano is among the most dangerous. The volcanic peak is ranked by volcanologists among the country’s highest-threat volcanoes and has unleased eruptions five times bigger than Mount St. Helens’ stupendous blast 38 years ago this month. But the volcano in Snohomish County remains the least-monitored and the least-studied in the Cascade range. As Kilauea continues its rampage on Hawaii’s Big Island, the 38th anniversary this month of Mount St. Helens’ cataclysmic eruption is an uneasy reminder that the snow-capped volcanoes of the Pacific Northwest can awaken at any time. Yet one of Washington’s most dangerous volcanoes remains the least-monitored and the least-studied in the Cascade range. Tucked deep inside its namesake 566,000-acre wilderness a scant 70 miles northeast of Seattle, Glacier Peak is the state’s hidden volcano. At a modest 10,541 feet, its summit doesn’t tower over the landscape like Rainier, Baker or Adams. Settlers didn’t even realize it was a volcano until the 1850s, when Native Americans told the naturalist and ethnologist George Gibbs about a small mountain north of Rainier that once smoked. Geologists have since discovered that Glacier Peak is one of the state’s most active and explosive volcanoes, said Seth Moran, scientist-in-charge at the U.S. Geological Survey’s Cascades Volcano Observatory. Its most recent eruption, about 300 years ago, was a small one. But since the end of the last ice age, the volcano has erupted repeatedly in at least six episodes — including two outbursts five times bigger than the blast that blew Mount St. Helens apart on May 18, 1980. An eruption of that scale today would bury nearby communities like Darrington and Rockport under slurries of mud and debris called lahars. Roiling columns of ash more than 100,000 feet high would disrupt air traffic across the region, while sediment-laden floods could reach the Puget Sound lowlands and possibly even threaten Interstate 5. The USGS ranks Glacier Peak among the country’s highest-threat volcanoes. But the only monitoring is done by a single seismometer southwest of the summit — far less instrumentation than on any other Cascade volcano. The agency also has yet to complete a geologic map of the area, Moran said. The problem is partly lack of money and staff, and partly because Glacier Peak is so hard to get to, he explained. Because it’s in wilderness, geologists have to pack in all their gear — then pack out heavy rock samples. Hiking in to a base camp takes nearly two days, then it’s a cross-country scramble to reach remote ridges and valleys in search of signs of past eruptions. “It’s a lot of forcing your way through the devil’s club and dense forests and navigating really, really steep terrain,” Moran said. The USGS hopes to install four additional seismometers soon, while ongoing geologic field studies aim to fill in gaps in the volcano’s eruptive history. But the agency estimates it needs at least a dozen instruments on Glacier Peak to effectively track the tiny earthquakes and ground motion that can signal an impending eruption, Moran said. Progress could be accelerated if Congress approves the Volcano Early Warning and Monitoring Bill sponsored by Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash. The bill, which passed the Senate last week, would authorize $55 million over the next five years, partly to modernize and expand monitoring at Glacier Peak and other volcanoes. Sponsored in the House by Alaska Rep. Don Young, the bill would fund volcano research and establish a center to track data from volcanoes around the clock. “The safety of our communities is paramount, and our legislation will ensure we have the science, technology and monitoring needed to keep people informed and safe,” Cantwell said in a statement. In addition to explosive eruptions and lahars, Glacier Peak’s repertoire includes formation of lava domes, parts of which collapsed repeatedly during past eruptions to form scorching avalanches of rock and debris called pyroclastic flows. The flows incinerate everything in their path — which makes Glacier Peak’s lack of close neighbors a good thing. The thick vegetation that covers the mountain makes it hard to trace the path of past pyroclastic flows and lahars, so the USGS commissioned lidar, or laser mapping, that was finished in 2016. The technique digitally strips away vegetation, revealing the bare landscape. Features like lahars and lava flows pop out with unprecedented clarity, Moran explained. The resulting maps underscore the risk to the Stillaguamish and Skagit Valley communities closest to the mountain, many of which were built on the thick deposits left by past lahars. In a worst-case eruption, debris flows or their muddy remnants might reach as far as Arlington, Stanwood, Mount Vernon and La Conner, according to USGS analyses. As scientists assemble a fuller picture of Glacier Peak’s hazards, officials in Snohomish County have been working to raise awareness and reduce the danger, where possible. The county requires anyone who wants to build in the danger zone to sign a disclosure that makes it clear the property is “subject to periodic and potentially life-threatening destructive mud, water and debris flows.” Over the past year, emergency managers posted the first education and warning signs in the Darrington area. They plan to install more in the near future, said Dara Salmon, deputy emergency management director. County residents can also sign up to get emergency alerts for a wide range of natural disasters, including eruptions and lahars. “I think awareness is higher than it used to be,” Salmon said, “But we still have a ways to go.” And nobody knows when this very dangerous volcano will erupt next! Be ready, Get prepared.

Arizona prepares for statewide drill to practice how it would respond to a migration of 400,000 people in case of a catastrophic California earthquake

Several Arizona businesses and organizations are preparing for a drill

The exercise will be a practice for how the state would respond to a migration of 400,000 people in case of an earthquake

Participants in the National Mass Care Exercise in the coming week will take part

The planning has been underway for nearly a year, the Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs said

Earlier this month, a light earthquake was felt widely in Southern California, but there were no reports of damage or injuries

By Associated Press and Dailymail.com Reporter Published: 02:06 EDT, 21 May 2018 | Updated: 12:27 EDT, 21 May 2018

Government agencies, businesses and other organizations in Arizona plan to participate in an exercise to practice how the state would respond to a migration of 400,000 people in case of an earthquake. The exercise will be a drill in case a catastrophic earthquake occurs in Southern California. The Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs said participants in the National Mass Care Exercise in the coming week will take part in the drill. They will tackle how to organize operations such as providing food, shelter and medical services. The department added that the exercise planning has been underway for nearly a year. The State Emergency Operations Center in Phoenix, along with many county, tribal and municipal emergency operations centers will activate during the exercise. The centers are prepared to test activation procedures and staff training. A light earthquake was felt widely in Southern California two weeks ago May 8 but there were no reports of damage. The magnitude 4.5 tremor occurred at 4:49 a.m. beneath the rugged San Bernardino Mountains in the inland region about 100 miles east of Los Angeles and about the same distance north of San Diego. More than 9,000 people used the U.S. Geological Survey's citizen reporting website to say they felt it, but the Riverside County Fire Department received no reports of injuries. The quake occurred 8 miles beneath wilderness north of Cabazon, a lightly populated desert community best known to travelers along Interstate 10 as the location of giant dinosaur statues, a casino resort, outlet stores and giant spinning windmills that turn the gusty winds of San Gorgonio Pass into electricity. 'You heard the shaking before you felt it,' Cristina Candelaria told KABC-TV in Redlands, about 30 miles west of Cabazon. Veteran seismologist Lucy Jones tweeted that the quake occurred near a complex part of the San Andreas fault that cannot be clearly seen on the surface there because it is covered by another fault. She said the movement was mostly that of a thrust fault in which one side moves up over the other side. The 4.5 quake was followed by a smaller 3.2 aftershock and numerous micro quakes, according to the USGS.

Two huge vaccine scandals the press is ignoring

By Jon Rappoport - May 18, 2018, @9:06 am EDT

Some lies are so big, many people can’t accept the fact that they’re lies. Their minds are boggled. “No,” they say, “that couldn’t be.” But yes, that could be, and is. Two giant vaccine scandals are in progress at the moment. The mainstream press is mentioning them, here and there, but without any intent to raise alarms, dig in, investigate, and get down to the core of the problem. So I’ll get to the core. The first scandal revolves around the flu vaccine for the current year. The CDC and other “experts” have admitted the vaccine has a very low effectiveness rate. Why is it a dud? Because the vaccine is produced using chicken eggs, and in that medium, the flu virus—which is intentionally placed in the eggs—mutates. Therefore, it isn’t the same virus which is causing flu this year. Therefore, no protection against the flu. FiercePharma reports: “Based on data from Australia, which already had its flu season, scientists warn that this season’s flu shot might be only 10% effective. And the reason for such a low level of protection might lie in the method by which the majority of flu vaccines are made: in eggs.” Ten percent effectiveness. Now that’s ridiculous. And it’s assuming you accept the whole model of how vaccines work—that they actually do protect (safely) against disease, rather than, at best, repressing the visible symptoms of the disease. Amidst their spotty coverage of this scandal, here is what the press is failing to mention: the problem with the flu vaccine isn’t just a 2017-2018 flaw. It would be the same problem ever since chicken eggs have been used to manufacture the vaccine. Are you ready? Healthline.com: “The majority of flu vaccines are grown in chicken eggs, a method of vaccine development that’s been used for 70 years.” Hello? Anyone home? Seventy years. The same problem. The same “low effectiveness” problem. That’s a page-one story with a giant headline. That’s the lead item on the nightly news. That’s a pounding investigative series about the lunatic promotion of a massively ineffective—but universally promoted—vaccine going back decades and decades. But it isn’t a giant headline. It isn’t an investigation. It’s a here-today-gone-tomorrow piece. That’s all. The second scandal keeps unfolding in the Philippines, where drug giant Sanofi’s Dengvaxia, given to prevent Dengue Fever, is facing enormous pushback from government officials, who stopped the national vaccination campaign, after thousands of children already received the shot. The issue? Safety. FiercePharma: “The Philippines stopped vaccinations shortly after the company warned that Dengvaxia can cause more serious infections in those who previously hadn’t had exposure to the virus. The country also kicked off a probe and plans legal action, according to health secretary Francisco Duque.” Did you get that? The company (Sanofi) itself warned that vaccine might not be safe. FiercePharma: “…the [Philippine] Department of Health didn’t heed warnings from an advisory group of doctors and pharmacologists, who concluded early last year that the vaccine’s safety and efficacy were unproven.” My, my. But let’s dig even deeper. Sanofi saying is saying the vaccine might be dangerous for those who haven’t been exposed to the Dengue virus before getting the shot. What on Earth does that mean? It means a child who had naturally come in contact with the virus would have developed his own antibodies to it. And later, those antibodies would protect him against the Dengue virus IN THE VACCINE. Otherwise, the virus in the vaccine could give him a case of Dengue or cause some other form of damage. This is saying, “If a child is ALREADY immune to Dengue Fever, because his immune system has successfully dealt with the virus, then the vaccine won’t damage him.” And THAT is saying, “If the child has naturally developed an immunity to Dengue, then the vaccine, WHICH HE DOESN’T NEED, won’t harm him.” Of course, the press isn’t getting the picture. If any reporters are seeing the light, they’re keeping their mouths shut. The scandal is too big and too crazy. Between the lines, a vaccine company is admitting their vaccine is only safe for children who don’t need it. A tree just fell in the forest. Who heard it?

How artificial intelligence is shaping religion in the 21st century

By Agencies Published : May 13, 2018

Technology and artificial intelligence (AI) are fashioning how people interact with everything from food to healthcare – and so, too, for religion. From electronic scriptures to robot priests, different faiths have absorbed new ideas from the world of technology to enhance mainstream religious practices. Muslims across the world can download apps such as Muslim Pro, replete with daily prayer timetables, notifications for both sunrise and sunset, and an electronic compass pointing the way towards Mecca. Other apps automatically adjust fasting times during the month of Ramadan, depending on the location of a device. In fact, Muslims are one of the most plugged-in religious communities due to the high concentration of young people aged between 16 and 30 across the Middle East and Asia. A survey by the Pew Research Center in 2017 showed that poorer Muslim-majority countries boast a large amount of people with smartphones. Fifty-seven percent of Palestinians own a smartphone, for example, just short of Germany’s 60 percent. Developers in Japan went a step further last year, unveiling a robot priest programmed to conduct Buddhist rituals. Peppa the humanoid robot, replete with ceremonial dress, can perform a funeral ceremony for $462, cheaper than the $2,232 charged by a human priest to carry out the same task. The relationship between technology and religion has not always been straightforward. According to Dr Beth Singler, researcher at The Faraday Institute for Science and Religion, religions grapple with technology in three stages – rejection, adoption and adaption. Speaking to CNBC, she said that the initial reaction by religious institutions “can often be negative, but technology soon becomes ubiquitous and part of the mainstream.” Faith leaders are increasingly concerned about morality and the ethics behind creating human-like machines. Social media’s addictive nature and the use of sexbots are just two examples of the misgivings they have. “There is concern over what it means to be a person using artificial intelligence, whether that affects our specialness or not,” said Dr Singler. The stereotypical image of killer robots, especially in cinema, has skewed the debate on what AI really means in practice for religion. But, for Singler, chatbots and algorithms are the real face of AI in religion. “Algorithms are more concerning than the image of a Terminator-like robot,” she said. “The effect it has on people’s lives, such as determining the amount you pay for a mortgage, are small changes that accumulate to big changes.” Algorithms and bots wield a hand in not only what we see, but what information we interact with and who we choose to talk to. Followers of Catholicism can plug into the Confession Chatbot app to interact in a life-like two-way conversation with a bot. While it could potentially remove embarrassment in confessing a person’s innermost secrets and guilt, where those interactions end up remains a concern in light of the Facebook-Cambridge Analytica scandal. Agencies Five hundred years after the Protestant Reformation, robot priest BlessU-2 was built for the small German town of Wittenberg last year to mark the anniversary of Martin Luther’s religious revolution in Europe. Local priest Stephan Krebs told The Guardian newspaper that despite BlessU-2 ability to recite bibilical verses and offer pre-composed prayers, a robot could “never substitute for pastoral care.” Singler, too, believes that “robots are not the next stage of priesthood.” Professor Stephen Hawking and Tesla CEO Elon Musk have voiced concerns over the potential threat mankind faces should AI recognize its full potential, raising the question of whether robots could develop a conscience. Singler questioned on the idea that robots could develop the human-like ability to choose their own religion one day. “It says a lot more about us that we consider the question. In our narratives about the topic (of whether robots can be conscious beings), the idea of ‘testing’ is central,” she said. The desire to attach human characteristics to objects, akin to the nostalgia felt between a person and their old phone or pet, is at the heart of knowing whether robots will ever have their own conscience. “It’s our own minds filling in the gaps which ultimately lead to anthropomorphism.”

Cerebral Auto-Cannibalism

There is a new form of cannibalism emerging causing wide spread dementia. The new syndrome is called cerebral auto-cannibalism. It is a terrifying to come to grips that a new form of dementia is now emerging where your brain quite literally eats itself! In the Garden, the serpent tempted Eve to take of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge resulting in death. Eating oneself originates from the ancient old serpent also called ouroboros The serpent or dragon is featured eating its own tail. The first manuscript with the ouroboros motif came from the Enigmatic Book of the Netherworld, an ancient Egyptian funerary text found in the tomb of King Tutankhamen, 14th century BC. Ouroboros symbolizes magic, introspection, cyclicality (recreation), endless creation, destruction, life and death. The term comes from the ancient Greek οὐροβόρος, from οὐρά (oura), "tail" + βορά (bora), "food", from βιβρώσκω (bibrōskō), "I eat". According to Swiss psychologist Carl Jung lies the thought of devouring oneself and turning oneself into a circulatory process and a dramatic symbol for the integration and assimilation of the clash of opposites, and immortality. Is it any wonder that we see the serpent instigating a process by which the brain eats itself leaving a mindless and possibly soulless zombie in its wake? As history winds down the serpent does no longer want you to "eat tail" but the dragon of old wants your brain, your intellect, and the ultimate prize, the seat of your soul. Conditioned for Cannibalism Vast swaths of 'civilized' humanity are forsaking natural desires for real food by engaging in cannibalism. It is true that we have been conditioned to be cannibals through genetically-engineered foods that have inject human DNA to your favorite foods. These foods do not have to be processed foods, take tomatoes, for example. The genetic modification of the tomato with human DNA has been purged from web. Somewhere on an external drive I have the early studies on it. But there is a new more sinister form of cannibalism-self-cannibalism, the practice of eating oneself! It is also called autocannibalism or autosarcophagy! This is a bit different that autophagy, which is a natural process of cell degradation. Mental decline is epidemic and used to be an old persons disease, but new research is showing that 9 out of 10 American adults may be at risk for cerebral auto-cannibalism.  Cerebral Auto-Cannibalism Striking at any age, this insidious form of cannibalism the stuff of nightmares and horror movies is eating away at your brain as you read this article. Absentmindedness, forgetfulness, lost memories, learning challenges, the familiar dissipates into confusion. While the dragon may have been the instigator the process is just now being revealed. Zombie Apocalypse A few years back the military held Zombie drills. As we have been learning it takes creativity to captivate young minds to cross domains and barriers that would not in other circumstances be tolerated. It was said that the playbook was all in good fun and pure fiction, but is that the truth? The drills did occur. The military and governments do not spend the kind of money they do for a fantasy. The strategy, known as CONPLAN 8888, (the number eight is the biblical number of regeneration, coincidence?) is an unclassified document that lays out how the military would best respond to a potential zombie apocalypse. The plan's overall purpose is for the military to undertake operations to "preserve 'non-zombie' humans from the threats posed by a zombie horde." The concept of zombie hordes is provocative. Your brain is assaulted at every turn by EMF, deficient foods, chemicals, viruses, prions and the list goes on that all contribute to the potential for any one us to become a zombie. In case you have missed it in the news the Zombie Apocalypse has been trending from over a year in a wide-array of news stories. CONPLAN 8888 follows a three-step approach to ensuring these goals by 1) maintaining a defensive perimeter to protect human life; 2) conducting operations that will eradicate zombie threats; and 3) aiding civil authorities in restoring law and order. Eradication of the zombies. First your brain is robbed, who knows what happens to your soul in the process, and then you are slated for eradication. Neural Fuel Certain neural fuels are essential to maintain your cognition and brain from cerebral auto-cannibalism. One of these is the nutrient choline that was not even recognized as essential by the Institute of Medicine until 1998. Choline makes acetylcholine, via an enzyme, which resides in the synapses between the nerve cells in your brain. Choline is one essential chemical responsible for thought, memory, verbal, logical reasoning, concentration, and our ability to sleep. As we age we make less acetylcholine. Choline can stop cerebral auto-cannibalism. How Deficient Are You? Even the healthiest diet is 90% deficient in feeding your brain this neural fuel. Research demonstrates that if you are on a vegan diet you are not getting near enough neural food. Your body may look in great shape but if you are choline deficient then zombie cerebral auto-cannibalism is in your future. Here is another wicked problem. Meat eaters are also starving their brains. A 1993 study, published in the peer-reviewed journal Neuroepidemiology, showed that meat-eaters are more than twice as likely as vegetarians to develop dementia. This applies to lean meats, wild caught salmon, free-range organic chicken, it is still not enough. Even the fruits and vegetables in your diet are not enough. It stands to reason that fast-foods, pre-packaged, pre-made, processed, and nutrient-stripped foods do not contain any choline. If they did fortify choline it would be a synthetic and not bioavailable. What about supplementation? Most multivitamins have little to no choline neural fuel in them. The most expensive supplement you can buy only has 18% of what you need. Our bodies are awesomely made. When your brain is starving for choline it will do anything it can to get it including robbing choline from your cell membranes, basically your body begins to eat itself. In addition to cerebral auto-cannibalism a choline deficiency causes muscle damage, liver damage, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. How much choline do you need? Women need at least 425 mg of choline a day. Men need 500 mg. Older adults need more choline because estrogen induces the gene that catalyzes the biosynthesis of choline. When a diet is deficient in folate, a B-vitamin that is also a methyl donor, the need for dietary choline rises because choline becomes the primary methyl donor. I have been researching the methylation process and quite frankly environmental factors and food quality has severely damaged the way God originally created our bodies to work. The main dietary sources of choline in the United States consist primarily of animal-based products that are particularly rich in choline—meat, poultry, fish, dairy products, and eggs. Cruciferous vegetables and certain beans are also rich in choline, and other dietary sources of choline include nuts, seeds, and whole grains. As early as 1978, a study showed that a group of senile women saw dramatic improvements in memory, cooperation and “relationship with the environment” when they were treated with choline. You can get tested for the amount of choline in your body but this is a plasma test and it will not reflect the availability of choline to your cells. Are your cells uptaking the choline or due to other malfunctioning bodily processes are you not absorbing or processing this chemical? In another study of seniors with memory problems, choline helped reduce all memory-related symptoms in more than 83% of study subjects. And in yet another study, looking at 1,614 patients, choline improved short-term memory by a whopping 45.5% after just two months. In a four-week placebo-controlled study, seniors with memory problems saw: 27% better word recall 17% better immediate object recall 34% better delayed object recall The most exciting finding of all came from a three-week study where ten seniors took just 250 mg of choline a day. After three weeks, these seniors saw: Their ability to repeat a string of digits improve 44% Their logic history scores improve 76% Their memory deficits improve by 157%!! Could this be true? All creation is being targeted through manipulation of our bodily processes. I set some soap outside to cure. I use real ingredients and essentials oils. I went about my day only to come back and birds had eaten my soap. I have had dogs eat my soap but never birds. We dance like marionettes by the marionettist that pulls our strings, but our bodies know even at a subconscious level what they are craving. God established it this way and He declared that it was good. High-potency choline can feed your brain, restore healthy cognitive function and prevent you from cerebral auto-cannibalism. This is a simple, affordable, godsend for you who desire to protect the integrity from our current physical and spiritual battle.

But God is saying to him: You divide your people and I will bring judgment upon you like you have never seen before. You will be like Jezebel and I will throw you off the roof and the dogs will eat your bones. Therefore, I say unto you, repent, I do not want my nation divided, I will not allow my nation to be divided, therefore, think your thoughts. Just because you are a Jew you cannot do the things that you desire to do, for I have a special covenant with you and you better study my covenant or it will fall upon your own personal family. Repent I say and turn from your wicked ways.

Trump peace deal to make Jerusalem suburb Palestinian capital

Yesh Atid chairman Yair Lapid said that Netanyahu agreed to the plan to make Abu Dis the capital of the future Palestinian state.

By Lahav Harkov May 21, 2018 16:08

The Abu Dis neighborhood bordering east Jerusalem will be the capital of a Palestinian state in US President Donald Trump’s planned peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians, Yesh Atid chairman Yair Lapid said Monday. “Over the weekend, different sources began saying that in the American paper that will be presented next month, Abu Dis will be mentioned as the capital of Palestine,” Lapid said at a Yesh Atid faction meeting. Lapid argued that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must know about this plan and agreed to it. “This brings up two questions,” Lapid said. “One, is the two-state solution back on the table with the prime minister’s agreement? Two, is Abu Dis acceptable to Netanyahu as the future Palestinian capital? “I know that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu doesn’t give interviews, but there’s a limit to his vagueness. If it’s true, the Israeli public needs to know,” Lapid said. Word has been circulating Washington since January that Trump’s Mideast peace team— led by his son-in-law Jared Kushner and his special representative for international negotiations Jason Greenblatt — was eyeing Abu Dis for a future Palestinian capital. At the time, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas referenced the rumor as yet another reason why he had dismissed the US administration as biased and aloof. Abbas rejected PA communication with the White House after Trump announced in December that he would recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, and move the US embassy in Israel there. When discussion of Abu Dis first surfaced, US officials said the talk was baseless. And a National Security Council official similarly brushed off Lapid’s comments on Monday. “Anyone who claims to know the terms of the Trump administration’s peace proposal is mistaken,” the official told The Jerusalem Post. “We will not provide details or comment further on specific terms until we make the proposal public.” In the Likud faction meeting, Netanyahu did not directly comment on the matter, but said: “Our successes are still to come. Our policies are not based on weakness. They are not based on concessions that will endanger us.” Netanyahu added that the Likud believes in the Jewish people’ right to its land, while being willing to make peace with its neighbors that truly want it.

The not so innocent Arabs who call themselves Palestinians.

By Victor Sharpe May 16, 2018

Let us first consider those miserable 'journalists' who hide in safety while weaving their tales of mistruth and distortion. They sit in great comfort in New York, London, Washington, DC, anywhere, but not in Gaza. They have more sense than to endanger themselves. From where they safely sit they then distort the truth in the media, falsely blame Israel for the violence emanating from Gaza, yet never write or utter a word about the crimes of Hamas and the Hamas Charter, which calls for the extermination of the Jewish state. You hear and see these 'reporters,' 'journalists' and talking heads on ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, MSNBC, BBC ad nauseam. You read their screeds in the New York Times and the Washington Post. At the same time, you would have looked, mostly in vain, on those same networks and in print, for fair and objective coverage of the joyous celebrations in Jerusalem at the historic opening of the United States embassy in Israel's capital city. This is bias writ large. Nor do these poor excuses for 'reporters' in the mainstream media ever criticize Hamas for misusing the vast flow of money entering its terrorist enclave in Gaza – money coming from the U.N., EU, Iran, Turkey and a host of liberal church and secular charities and NGOs, which cry crocodile tears over the 'poor' but not so innocent Arabs who call themselves Palestinians. And, of course, these same 'reporters' will never report on the vast number of trucks daily bringing goods into Gaza from Israel or the supply of electricity, gasoline and even concrete that Israel provides to Gaza's residents. And those of us with eyes to see and ears to hear know well that the concrete Israel provides is not used to build homes, schools or hospitals for the Arabs who live under Hamas occupation; no it is used to construct sophisticated tunnels for Hamas terrorists to enter Israel in order to kill Jewish men, women, children and babies. Hamas cynically and barbarously manipulates and coerces its women and children to go and break down the security fence and be killed or wounded. What type of people commit such a crime against humanity and such a loathsome sin against their own? Why, it is none other than Hamas, the junior partner of the infamous Muslim Brotherhood, which perpetrates such a repulsive sin and feels no shame or guilt. Gleefully and deliberately forcing its women and children into harm's way is for Hamas a propaganda tool and a media bonanza – which the corrupt mainstream media is quite happy to act as its willing executioner. The 'reporters' seem not to care for facts, but peddle myths – the result being a torrent of vituperative vilification and demonization of the embattled Jewish state, which is merely trying to defend itself and its people from a terrible massacre if, heaven forbid, the barbaric and enormous Muslim Arab mobs were to successfully break through the security fence and descend upon the Israeli villages and towns which lie so close to the Gaza border. The horrifying 1929 massacre of the Jewish inhabitants in Hebron by their Muslim Arab neighbors would be repeated on a massive scale. And remember, that nauseating example of centuries old Islamic hate towards Jews took place 19 years before Israel was reborn. We must understand that in Islam, where once the Muslim foot has trod triumphal in the name of Allah, that land enters forever the Dar al-Islam (the House of Islam). If it lost to Islam, then it enters the Dar al-Harb (the House of War) and Muslims are required in the Koran and Hadith to wage endless war against it until it is reclaimed for Islam. That is why there can never be true and lasting peace by the Muslim world towards the Jewish state, even though ancient Israel and the Jewish faith predates Islam by millennia. Let us also remember that the same Islamic supremacy applies to all those Christian and non-Muslim nations – Spain, Portugal, parts of France, Sicily, the Balkans, Greece, southern Russia, etc., – that too were once conquered and occupied in the name of Allah and are now considered in Islam to also be in the House of War. The Two-State-Solution with the Arabs who call themselves Palestinians, or Land for Peace with them, are suicidal beliefs which the Jewish state, reconstituted in its ancestral and Biblical homeland, must never again ever contemplate repeating. The then Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, made that catastrophic mistake in 2005 when he forced Israelis to give away Gaza to the same Arabs who call themselves Palestinians. We now see where it has brought us.

US considers international committee to manage Gaza, with Hamas’ help — report

Idea discussed by officials on recent trip to unnamed Arab country said to anger PA's Abbas, who sees it as broader attempt to drag him back to US-led peace talks

By TOI staff 19 May 2018, 11:09 pm

During a recent visit to an unnamed Arab country, US officials discussed the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and raised the idea of establishing an international committee to manage affairs in the coastal enclave. According to a Saturday report in the London-based, Arabic-language Al Hayat newspaper, the plan would require the Hamas terror group ruling Gaza to take a number of political steps to promote a US-led peace initiative. The international committee would be bankrolled by the US as well as countries in Europe, according to Al Hayat. The talks reportedly greatly angered Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who was said to have no interest in returning to talks with the Israelis brokered by the Trump administration. While the report did not identify the Arab country that hosted the summit by name, initial assessments indicate it to have been Egypt, which has been in increased talks with Hamas and on Friday opened up its Rafah crossing with Gaza for the month of Ramadan. Cairo has only sporadically opened its sole border crossing with the coastal enclave for short intervals over the past several years of soured relations with the Islamist group ruling Gaza. The reported US proposal, which maintains Hamas as a player, comes amid near-daily criticism by officials in Washington of the terror group, which it has viewed as solely responsible for the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. In his most recent criticism on Friday, White House Special Envoy Jason Greenblatt blamed Hamas for inciting Palestinians to loot the Kerem Shalom Crossing with Israel. On Wednesday, Greenblatt met in Qatar with its foreign minister to discuss relief for Gaza, a notable meeting with one of Hamas’ only allies. On Friday, AP reported that Washington intends to release its peace plan in mid- to late-June, shortly after the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, although US officials cautioned that the timing could slip depending on developments in the region. Yet any Palestinian willingness to even consider the plan would require conditions to improve and anger to subside considerably in the coming weeks — an unlikely scenario as the Palestinians say evidence of one-sided Trump giveaways to Israel continues to pile up. Greenblatt’s meeting in Qatar came two days after he attended the dedication ceremony of the new US Embassy in Jerusalem on Monday. That same day, 64 Palestinians were killed in border clashes that were part of violent protests for weeks. Almost all of the dead were members of Hamas, the terror group has acknowledged. Since March 30, tens of thousands of Palestinians have taken part in weekly “March of Return” protests, which Israel says are orchestrated by Hamas and used as cover for attempted attacks and breaches of the border fence. The demonstrations were meant to end this week, culminating with the opening of the US embassy in Jerusalem, but Hamas leaders have said they want them to continue. About 1,000 protesters took part in demonstrations Friday. The Palestinian deaths during Monday’s protests were met with international outrage and calls for an independent investigation of events. Hamas has subsequently admitted that 50 of the dead were members of the terror group. Three others were Islamic Jihad members. On Friday, the UN’s Human Rights Council ordered a probe into the killings. Israel said it would not cooperate, and the US slammed the decision as a “shameful” day for human rights.

Pompeo Issues Steep Demands for Nuclear Treaty With Iran

Monday, 21 May 2018 09:49 AM

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo issued a steep list of demands Monday that he said should be included in a nuclear treaty with Iran to replace the Obama-era deal, threatening "the strongest sanctions in history" if Iran doesn't change course. Following President Donald Trump's withdrawal from the deal, the United States will ensure "Iran has no possible path to a nuclear weapon — ever," Pompeo said. As he called for a better agreement to constrain Iran's activities, he said the U.S. would "apply unprecedented financial pressure" to bring Tehran back to the table. "These will end up being the strongest sanctions in history by the time we are complete," Pompeo said in a speech at the conservative Heritage Foundation, his first major policy speech since taking over as top diplomat. Pompeo's list of 12 requirements included many that Iran is highly unlikely to consider. He said Iran must "stop enrichment" of uranium, which was allowed within strict limitations under the 2015 deal. Iran must also allow nuclear "unqualified access to all sites throughout the country," Pompeo said, alluding to military sites that were off-limits under the 2015 deal except under specific circumstances. To that end, he also said Iran must declare all previous efforts to build a nuclear weapon, reopening an issue that the U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency has already deemed a closed matter Pompeo also demanded that Iran cease from a range of activities throughout the Middle East that have long drawn the ire of the U.S. and its allies. He said Iran must end support for Shiite Houthi rebels in Yemen, "withdraw all forces" from Syria, halt support for its ally Hezbollah and stop threatening Israel. Iran must also "release all U.S. citizens" missing in Iran or being held on "spurious charges," he said. At the same time, Pompeo offered Iran a series of dramatic potential U.S. concessions if it agrees to make "major changes." Under a new agreement, the U.S. would be willing to lift all sanctions, restore full diplomatic and commercial ties with Iran, and even support the modernization of its economy, Pompeo said. "It is America's hope that our labors toward peace and security will bear fruit for the long-suffering people of Iran," Pompeo said. Pompeo's speech came after Trump earlier this month infuriated U.S. allies in Europe by withdrawing from the 2015 deal brokered by President Barack Obama, Iran and world powers. Europeans allies had pleaded with Trump not to scuttle that deal and are now scrambling to keep the deal alive even without the U.S. But the Trump administration has held out hope that those same allies will put aside that frustration and work with the U.S. to ramp pressure back up on Iran through sanctions in a bid to bring Tehran back to the negotiating table for a stronger deal. Pompeo said he understood that Trump's decision "will pose financial and economic difficulties for a number of our friends." But he warned them that the U.S. planned to follow through with threats to punish European companies that continue doing business with Iran that is allowed under the deal but will violate reimposed U.S. sanctions. "I know our allies in Europe may try to keep the old nuclear deal going with Tehran. That is their decision to make," Pompeo said. "They know where we stand."

U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller sent agents to Israel in Trump probe

At least two of the figures – Israeli specialist Joel Zamel and the Gulf emissary George Nader – visited or worked with the Russians during the campaign.

By Michael Wilner May 21, 2018 00:20

WASHINGTON – Three months before the 2016 presidential election, an Israeli social media specialist joined a Gulf Arab emissary and a former Middle East security contractor for a meeting with Donald Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., to discuss ways they could help the Republican nominee beat his opponent. The existence of the meeting in Trump Tower in New York City, first revealed on Saturday by The New York Times, has prompted US special counsel Robert Mueller to send investigators to Israel to probe the activities of the Israeli social media firm, which allegedly employed former Israeli intelligence officers and collects user data to help manipulate public opinion. The Israel Police is cooperating with the probe, the Times found. Mueller is investigating whether individuals associated with the Trump campaign coordinated with the Russian government in their efforts to defeat Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic nominee. Trump Jr. was known to have taken a similar meeting with a Russian government employee who was offering dirt on Clinton months earlier. But the August 3 meeting with Mideast figures demonstrates the campaign’s willingness to accept foreign help in its uphill battle to victory at a time when polls consistently showed them losing the presidential race. US law prohibits foreign organizations and individuals from any involvement in its election campaigns. At least two of the figures – Israeli specialist Joel Zamel and the Gulf emissary George Nader – visited or worked with the Russians during the campaign. Both visited the White House after Trump’s inauguration. Zamel said through his lawyer that none of his companies “had any involvement whatsoever in the US election campaign.” But he is accused of proposing a covert, multimillion-dollar online manipulation project on behalf of Trump, and according to the Times, was paid by Nader roughly $2 million after the campaign ended. Two of Mueller’s agents have traveled to Israel to conduct interviews, and the Israel Police has helped them seize computers related to the probe, according to the report. Zamel says he is fully cooperating with the Mueller inquiry. Nader is suspected of working on behalf of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to elect Trump, who they believed might take a tougher stance against Iran. Nader grew close with Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, throughout the presidential race, when Kushner was leading the campaign’s social media strategy. They have since remained in touch. For years, Nader has pitched a strategy of economic warfare and sabotage against Iran, both to US and Gulf leadership. Trump has sharply aligned his administration with Sunni Gulf powers. He pulled out of an international nuclear deal with Iran earlier this month, snapping back all US sanctions that had been in place before 2015. The former head of Blackwater, an American private military company, is at the center of this meeting and several others under investigation by Mueller, including a secret meeting in the Seychelles after Trump’s inauguration, which involved the president’s associates and those of Russian President Vladimir Putin. A lawyer for Trump Jr. acknowledged the August 3 meeting, but – similar to his earlier Trump Tower meeting with a Kremlin agent – claims it went nowhere. “Prior to the 2016 election, Donald Trump Jr. recalls a meeting with [Blackwater founder] Erik Prince, George Nader and another individual who may be Joel Zamel,” the lawyer said. “They pitched Mr. Trump Jr. on a social media platform or marketing strategy. He was not interested and that was the end of it.”

US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman: Liberal media sides with Hamas over Trump

By Amb. David Friedman | Fox News

This past Monday, the United States at long last opened its embassy to Israel in Jerusalem, Israel’s capital. The opening occurred 70 years to the day that Harry Truman led the United States to be the first nation to recognize Israel as a sovereign nation. The event, authorized and directed by President Trump, was a moving tribute to the enduring and unique friendship between our nation and the State of Israel. Moving our embassy, however, was not just an act of friendship. It was an act that Congress had endorsed. In 1995, both houses of Congress overwhelming passed the Jerusalem Embassy Act urging exactly this action. As recently as last year, the United States Senate re-affirmed the Jerusalem Embassy Act by a vote of 90-0. While past government leaders have argued, from time to time, that the embassy should only move as part of a peace deal with the Palestinians, Congress said no such thing. Past Presidents Clinton, Bush and Obama all campaigned on the pledge that Jerusalem must always be the capital of Israel. Clinton and Bush also promised to move our embassy to Jerusalem. None of them honored their word. President Trump made a similar promise, but, in contrast to his predecessors, he kept it. The opening ceremony was a beautiful and uplifting event attended by hundreds and watched by millions. As the ceremony proceeded, there were a few sporadic, peaceful protests from among the hundreds of thousands of Arabs living in Jerusalem. The West Bank remained calm. The apparent success of the embassy’s opening ceremony enraged the liberal media. Could this be yet another diplomatic triumph by President Trump? The prospect was unbearable. Hamas to the rescue. These thugs, acknowledged nearly universally as a terrorist organization, had been rioting in Gaza over the past six weeks for purported reasons not connected to the embassy move. They were more than willing to provide the media with a dark side to an otherwise uplifting story. No nation in the world allows foreigners to storm its border. Period. When the declared intention of the aggressors is to kill that nation’s citizens, it is laughable to even suggest that a forceful response would not ensue. For weeks, Hamas had been pursuing a direct and unambiguous operation against Israel: On Fridays, after stirring up emotions at weekly prayers, it incited waves of Gaza residents to violently storm the border with Israel, hoping to break through and kill Israeli citizens and kidnap Israeli soldiers. In addition, given the likelihood that these malign efforts would fail, Hamas also created “kite bombs” painted with swastikas that it launched in Israel’s direction when the winds were favorable. No nation in the world allows foreigners to storm its border. Period. When the declared intention of the aggressors is to kill that nation’s citizens, it is laughable to even suggest that a forceful response would not ensue. Regrettably, Hamas convinced impressionable young adults that the border had been breached and directed them to run all the way to Jerusalem and murder their enemies. Thousands unfortunately took up the call and entered harm’s way. Some 60 Gazans, the overwhelming majority of whom were known Hamas terrorists, lost their lives because Hamas turned them into a collective suicide bomb. They were neither heroes nor the peaceful protesters they were advertised to be. At least not before the liberal media entered the scene. Desperate for a narrative to discredit the president’s decision to move our embassy to Jerusalem, they broadcast the opening ceremony on a split screen simultaneously displaying the Gaza riots, and condemned the insensitivity of the ceremony’s participants to the carnage that seemed next door on TV but which in actuality was occurring 60 miles away! The next day, the liberal media vilified everyone associated with the embassy move and glorified the poor Hamas terrorists. Failed diplomats who never brought peace or stability to the region were pulled out of mothballs to regurgitate their calcified thinking. And the most deranged even accused the administration of having blood on its hands. Tellingly, not a single pundit offered a less-lethal alternative to protecting Israel from being overrun by killers or its soldiers from being within range of pistols, IEDs or Molotov cocktails. Let there be no mistake. Every life is equally precious, whether Jewish, Palestinian or other. But no nation should ever be called upon to sacrifice its own citizens to preserve the lives of aggressive infiltrators intent on murder and mayhem. Ironically, Hamas had recently woken up to the fact that most responsible journalists were on to its game and Hamas was considering ending its suicidal assaults on the Israeli border. But seeing the opportunity to curry the front page or the A Block from reporters willing to shed a negative light on our president, Hamas enthusiastically launched its youth back into the fire. So who really has blood on their hands? David Friedman is the U.S. Ambassador to Israel.

Emergency Situation in Israel as IDF Troops Deployed to All Borders!

By Tsivya Fox May 17, 2018 , 12:30 pm

Israel is on high alert as her borders are threatened on all sides. Israel’s Defense Force (IDF) has increased the presence of both active duty and reservists to fortify the country’s borders. “These are not regular days in the Middle East,” General (res.) Yehiel Gozal, CEO of Yahad-United for Israel’s Soldiers, told Breaking Israel News. “If this situation doesn’t quickly get under control, it is likely that a war will develop.” Gozal’s bold statement came following the news that 40,000 Palestinians were rioting at Israel’s southern Gaza border. Thus far, 62 rioters have been killed by IDF forces and at least 2,000 have been injured. Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry has proudly stated that of those killed, 50 were members of the Hamas terror group. “In the last rounds of confrontations, 62 people were martyred, 50 of the martyrs were Hamas and 12 from the people,” said Hamas official Salah Bardawil in an interview with the Palestinian Baladna news outlet. Though the international media is reporting that the Palestinians were holding a peaceful protest, films of the riots paint a very different picture. Along with chants of “Death to Israel and the United States”, rioters set tires ablaze, planted bombs, flew incendiary kites into Israel destroying Israeli fields, and threw firebombs, Molotov cocktails, and stones at IDF troops. Serious escalation of the situation occurred when Palestinians directed machine gun fire from Gaza at IDF aerial vehicles. Several residences in the Israeli border town of Sderot were hit. Sderot officials stated that army overhead aircrafts were the apparent target of the gunfire but the bullets entered civilian homes when they returned to the ground. “Bullets should be regarded as missiles, and Hamas is responsible for everything that happens in Gaza,” Sderot Mayor Alon Davidi stated. Israeli citizens have independently started to travel to Israel’s borders to bring food and gifts to IDF soldiers. Yet, Yahad-United for Israel’s Soldiers is the only Israel government sanctioned organization permitted to provide Israeli soldiers with all of their welfare needs. “In past emergency situations, individuals and various organizations, out of good intentions, gave directly to Israeli soldiers,” noted Gozal. “This actually puts both citizens and IDF soldiers in danger, causes challenges within troops, and wastes donated dollars as excessive or not needed supplies are donated.” Every commander has direct contact with Yahad-United for Israel’s Soldiers, informing the organization of exactly what their soldiers need. 100 percent of every dollar donated to Yahad is used directly for Israeli soldier welfare and handled in an orderly fashion. Though claims that the latest Palestinian threats to Israel’s sovereignty are connected to the United States moving its embassy to Jerusalem and President Donald Trump canceling the Iran nuclear deal, the riots are actually a continuation of the Hamas terror organization campaign dubbed “March of Return” whose goal it is to infiltrate Israeli territory, murder Jews, and take over the Holy Land. Gozal noted that Palestinian leadership has never accepted the State of Israel as a historic fact and are sending their citizens to Israel’s borders to fight IDF soldiers and get killed as martyrs.Through the use of terror and false narrative, Arabs have been trying to destroy Israel and the Jewish people since 1948,” he said. “People must know that these events have nothing to do with the return of Judea and Samaria into the hands of the Jewish people following the Six Day War in 1967, nor the US Embassy moving to Jerusalem or the cancellation of the Iran deal. It stems from the hateful desire to destroy Israel and her citizens.” Israel Defense Forces’ spokesperson Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus stated, “Hamas is behind these riots, and the branding of the riots as ‘peaceful protests’ could not be further from the truth.” The IDF has been using riot-control measures to control the Palestinian masses. In addition, the IDF disrupted internet and cell signals around the border to prevent mobilization of rioters by Hamas. However, soldiers were forced to use live fire when their lives and the lives of citizens in neighboring communities were threatened. Gozal told Breaking Israel News that the IDF has increased its presence by placing both reservists and active duty soldiers on every one of Israel’s borders as well as in Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem. Every soldier is on high alert including Israel’s air force, navy, ground forces and intelligence. “We had to show our power in the north when Iran sent rockets into Israel from Syria,” he said. “Israel has a moral obligation to protect itself and its citizens. We will not stand by under threats of our destruction.” In addition to the present danger on Israel’s borders, Gozal pointed out that Hezbollah, along with Iran, is continuously sponsoring terror and attacks on Israel. “Hezbollah and Iran are waiting to join an attack on Israel from Lebanon on Israel’s northern border. All these happenings has placed Israel in an emergency situation.” Yahad representatives are on the field at all of Israel’s borders providing IDF soldiers and border police with all of their needs. “At this critical time for Israel, we must unite and rally around our IDF soldiers,” continued Gozal. “We need as much international support as possible, both through prayer,, with spreading accurate news about the moral and outstanding behavior of Israel’s soldiers, and through donations which go directly towards soldier welfare and support.” To donate to the welfare of Israeli soldiers, please click here. Written in coordination with Yahad-United for Israel’s Soldiers.

The Most Dangerous States to Live In America During a Collapse

By : Preppeu5 May 14, 2018 Category : PREPAREDNESS

There are many different disasters that would be catastrophic to the United States. An EMP attack that causes the power grid to collapse, a huge natural disaster, or a complete economic collapse far worse than the Great Depression are just three such disasters that would take years to recover from. What many people fail to realize, however, is that it won’t be the disaster itself that kills the most people. While it is true that the EMP strike would cause planes to fall out of the sky and cars to crash into one another, and while it’s also true that a natural disaster could claim thousands of lives instantly, it’s what happens after an apocalyptic disaster that would cause most of the deaths. With communications, food, water, and other necessities all cut off instantly, once ordinary people will do desperate things in order to survive. Hunger and starvation, dehydration and lack of water, and people killing one another savagely for basic necessities are what would claim the most lives. Nowhere in the United States is going to be truly safe or immune from a disaster on a grand scale. However, some states will certainly be less safe than others, and we’re going to discuss what those states are and why they are more unsafe than others. Here are the top five worst American states to be in during a collapse, presented in alphabetical order: 1. Alaska Here’s a state that you’re probably surprised to see on this list, especially when you consider Alaska (known as the Last Frontier) is supposed to be a safe haven for survivalists. There’s no denying that Alaska has many factors that would initially make it seem like a good place to be in during a disaster. For one thing, it’s sparsely populated and its few urban areas are not anywhere near as populous as cities like New York or Los Angeles. It also has an abundance of natural resources such as timber and wild game. But at the same time, Alaska has many negatives. For one thing, it’s very earthquake prone due to the fact that it’s situated along the West Coast. It’s also cut off from the lower 48 states, so imports of basic supplies and necessities will come to a screeching halt in the midst of disaster with no hope of resupply (gasoline and oil are arguably the biggest of these). There’s no denying that Alaska is one of the most beautiful places in the entire world. But at the same time, it has serious cons that should make you seriously reconsider it as a bug out location. 2. California You might as well put the whole West Coast under this one, which is incredibly vulnerable to earthquakes and is very densely populated. Those densely populated cities like San Francisco, San Diego, or Los Angeles are not just bad places to be in an earthquake. rThey are also prime EMP or nuclear targets for our enemies. Furthermore, California’s economy is incredibly fragile with very high debt. It’s arguably the most prone to an economic collapse over any other state. This is on top of the very high cost of living, taxes, and regulations in the state as well. All in all, the West Coast is definitely not somewhere you want to be during a disaster, but California will be even more dangerous than Washington and Oregon. 3. Florida You can probably already guess one reason why Florida is on this list: hurricanes. It’s no secret that Florida is very prone to hurricanes, but even that hasn’t stopped retirees from flocking to the Sunshine State as a warm tropical haven. Sure, Florida is a very attractive state, but it’s still far too overburdened with negative factors to be considered a good state to be in during a disaster. On the contrary, it’s one of the worst. Miami is a very large city and could be a prime target of a nuclear or EMP attack. The population in Florida is also very dense (it’s surpassed New York) and the crime rate is high. In addition, most of Florida is already under sea level, which is dangerous should ocean temperatures ever seriously rise. Overall, you would be advised to not consider Florida as a bug out retreat. 4. Hawaii Hawaii is on this list for many of the same reasons that Alaska is: it’s cut off from the rest of the United States and therefore will also be cut off from shipping and imports during a disaster. As an added con, Hawaii already has less overall resources than Alaska, with less of a chance to be successful at agriculture due to the generally poor soil. Hawaii is also a goldmine of military bases that will be prime targets in the event of a global war. Unless you can get out beforehand on a ship or an airplane, you’re essentially stranded in an archipelago out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with no serious way of getting out. If Hawaii serves one purpose, it’s a vacation place to make happy memories. But it’s certainly not a place to go to outlast a disaster. 5. New York Last but not least, we come to New York. The East and West Coasts are both highly and densely populated, and the city of New York itself is going to be a prime target for our enemies. New York also shares many cons with California: the high cost of living, high taxes and regulations, a high crime rate, strict firearms laws, heavy traffic, and so on. Granted, not all of New York is so bad. Much of the northern part of the state is very rural and teeming with natural resources. Still, you’re in very close proximity to the city, and refugees will undoubtedly be flooding north towards Canada, so you’re still not that safe anyway. Conclusion Alaska, California, Florida, Hawaii, and New York will be the five least safe states to be in during a major nationwide disaster. As an alternative, you would be wise to check out the states in the Great Plains or the Rocky Mountains instead. While those areas certainly have their cons as well (remember that no state is truly safe), they are still much safer than the five states we’ve just gone over.

Canada: As Trudeau’s Failures Mount, He Demonizes Pro-Trump Former Prime Minister Harper

May 15, 2018 7:14 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

According to a Toronto Star article: Justin Trudeau has been working assiduously to invoke the ghost of Stephen Harper, but this week the ghost himself appeared, no Liberal conjuring needed….There was the former prime minister, in a full-page ad in The New York Times, offering a full-throated endorsement of Donald Trump. The Star’s article referred to Harper’s support for President Trump’s scrapping the Iranian deal, a deal that enabled Iran to expand its regional and global support of terrorism. Iran’s Supreme leader, the Ayatollah Khamenei, has vowed to destroy America and has called any promotion of negotiations treason. Khamenei has also promoted a nine-point plan to annihilate the “barbaric” state of Israel. The deal saw billions pumped into the rogue state of Iran’s coffers, which it used to advance its proxies globally and expand its nuclear capability. “55,000 pages of documents and 183 CD’s revealed that Iran hid an atomic archive of documents on its nuclear program.” Iran has been “blatantly lying” as it developed its nuclear program. Yet Trudeau “delivered a thinly veiled rebuke to the Trump administration and Israel over their opposition to the Iran nuclear deal.” It is difficult to imagine that any mentally competent individual could possibly deem the rogue state of Iran to be trustworthy. This leaves one to reason that there are other variables at work. For instance: Some American and European companies “could lose billions of dollars in commercial deals canceled and a major new export market undercut by the U.S. decision to re-impose sanctions on Iran.” In 2016, Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre quietly traveled to Iran, where he co-signed a groundbreaking agreement with the Mayor of Tehran, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, to “boost mutual cooperation in various fields.” Qalibaf is an influential state-jihadist who has climbed the ranks of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. He was also a candidate in the 2005 Iranian presidential election, in which he was beaten by Ahmadinejad. Iranian-Canadian Liberal MP Majid Jowhari has been lobbying the Canadian government to reopen embassies in Ottawa and Iran, even sponsoring a petition with thousands of signatures to re-establish diplomatic ties with Iran. This prompted Iranian Canadians to send a joint letter to Justin Trudeau stating that they “do not want to be represented by someone who is ‘working in the interest of a foreign country,’” and that they were “worried a terrorist organization is being welcomed into Canada and may even be infiltrating the country with ‘spies’ with support from a local politician.” Then four months ago, Jowhari roiled members of his own community and riding over his support for Iran in the face of nationwide protests in that country. Justin Trudeau has an unsavory record of supporting Islamic supremacists and putting Canadians at risk of jihad attacks. After Trump’s victory, Trudeau was so unnerved that he set up a “war room within his office” to monitor the new U.S. President. Trudeau has shown himself to be an indiscreet man. He was investigated by Canada’s Ethics Commissioner for breaching four sections of Canada’s Conflict of Interest Act. He defrauded Canadians of $200,000 for a family vacation on the Aga Khan’s private Bahamian island. He also held a secret meeting with former Taliban captive Joshua Boyle (who is facing 15 charges), robbed taxpayers of $10,500,000 in a payout to infamous jihadist Omar Khadr, and quietly paid three more Muslims who were said to have been tortured while in detention in Syria and Egypt. According to a CBC report: Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale and Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland issued a statement Friday saying that with the settlement and an apology from government, the civil case involving Abdullah Almalki, Ahmad Abou-Elmaati and Muayyed Nureddin was now closed. Trudeau is now desperately trying to extricate himself from his endless messes by smearing his biggest rival in the 2019 elections — the Conservative Party of Canada, led by Andrew Scheer: The Conservatives, Trudeau charged, have learned nothing from their 2015 defeat and are continuing with the same negative tactics and divisive policies that characterized their government under Stephen Harper. He noted that Tory leader Andrew Scheer has dubbed himself “Stephen Harper with a smile” — indicating it was Harper’s temperament that caused the Tory defeat. Trudeau figures that by connecting Scheer to former Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper, whom he defeated in the 2015 elections, somehow the clock would turn back to a moment before Canada actually saw Trudeau’s failings. Yet Trudeau’s “selfie advantage” ended, even among youth, in March after his many gaffes and bad decisions humiliated both himself and Canada as a whole, and infuriated those who are proud defenders of Canadian values. The usually Liberal-supporting Toronto Star ran an uproariously funny piece: “For the sake of peoplekind, Justin Trudeau needs to shut his mouth.“ His hapless visit to India conjured up the ghost of Harper in a headline: “If you thought Harper hurt our global standing, then take a look at Trudeau.” Yet the Toronto Star indicated that “painting Scheer as Harper redux, leading the Harper party, has been a preoccupation with Trudeau,” and it still refers Harper as “toxic” and paints him as a bad brand for the Conservatives. It simply is not true. Stephen Harper has made no secret about his unwavering support for the right of Israel to exist in peace in the face of the jihadist endeavor to destroy it, which has been going on since 1948. He has also openly defended the rights and freedoms of all Canadians, whether Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, atheist, etc. The Conservative tabling of the “Zero Tolerance Against Barbaric Cultural Practices Bill” drew out the “Islamophobia” brigade, but that measure was intended to protect the victims of such practices. But in a Globe and Mail article entitled “Stephen Harper finally lets his sharp conservatism fly,” Harper — who was elected Chair of the International Democratic Union — was castigated for: saluting the re-election of Hungarian leader Viktor Orban, who adopted Trump’s slogan to “make Hungary great again.” Orban also vowed to protect Christian values in Hungary. Orban has never advocated for a Christian theocracy, but only vowed to protect his country against the hijrah, which is making some countries in Europe virtually unrecognizable. applauding Trump’s withdrawal from the Iranian nuclear deal. The article concludes that Stephen Harper “no longer has to compromise as he once did to govern a moderate, centrist Canada.” The implication is that to support Iran’s nuclear ambitions and fling open Canada’s doors indiscriminately is somehow “centrist.” As bizarre as such reasoning is, conservatives have far too long accepted, internalized, and cowered before undeserved names such as “Islamophobic,” “far right,” “neo-Nazi,” “racist,” “imbalanced,” “intolerant” and the like. Nothing will change that branding because it has worked to instill fear — not wisdom, but a crippling dread. It has long been the strategy of Islamic supremacist groups and social justice warriors, who weaken their own democracies and revile capitalism, to intimidate conservatives into feeling guilty for standing up for free societies and the equality of rights of all people. Conservatives will never win the support of Islamic supremacists and social justice warriors, no matter what. Trump showed the way forward by rejecting the strictures of leftist and Muslim lobby intimidation, and is delivering on his promise to “make America great again.” It took two terms of Obama for conservatives in America to vote in Donald Trump. The work of Canada’s Conservative MP’s in is cut out for them as they navigate the machinations of the leftist media in Canada and of Trudeau, while the latter chips away at Canadian values. A “joint initiative between the Liberal government of Canada, the UN High Commission on Refugees and Soros’s Open Society Foundations” is also of grave concern. Stephen Harper is not the bogeyman for Canadians; three years after the 2015 elections, conservative Canadians are realizing this. The real bogeymen are Islamic State jihadists on the loose who are welcomed in by Trudeau, Islamic supremacists threatening the freedom of speech through the “anti-Islamophobia” motion M-103, and skyrocketing debt due to Justin Trudeau being a spending fool. Throw in Trudeau’s immigration policies as well. He tweeted out an open welcome to asylum seekers when Trump implemented his temporary travel ban from some majority-Muslim countries. Now Canadians are left to foot the bill as 400 illegal migrants per day are expected to pour through Canada’s porous borders this summer. Some will, of course, be security threats. Europe has shown the world a great deal about what happens when governments fail to protect their citizens from Islamic supremacist incursion, whose exponents have no genuine respect for human rights.

As The Church Slept, Satan Crept In And The Masses Embraced The Doctrines Of Demons

- When The Church Went Blind, Lucifer Danced And The World Descended Into Darkness

By Pastor Dick Carmack - All News Pipeline May 15, 2018

(ANP: In the only video below, Pastor David Lankford recently joined The Hagmann Report to discuss the world's embrace of evil.) As the earth turns in restlessness, volcanoes erupting, politicians rattling their swords, famine sticking its head above the horizon, sporadic shooting already increasing in contested areas, millions of Christians look to the sky and anticipate an appearance of Jesus coming in the clouds. They expect a “pre-trib” rapture to snatch them away at any moment. But it’s not to be. “Pre-Trib” is a heresy that was designed in hell to catch as many as possible unaware and unprepared for the great tribulation we all are about to endure. Jesus will come in the clouds and He will collect His Church, just not when the sleepers expect Him. From the late 1700s to around 1830 a major heresy was introduced into the western Christian Church. It came in slyly mostly through the mouth of a Scottish lass named Margaret MacDonald. Many say Edward Irving, a Charismatic minister and self styled “prophet” conducted the séance in which Miss MacDonald spoke and from her utterance began to develop a doctrine that would eventually become almost as important to its adherents as the resurrection of Jesus Christ. From the tortured dreams of one Scottish lass, the Church by and large has been sucked into believing the doctrines of demons. It is known as the “Pre-Trib Rapture” of the Church. Because literally millions of words have been written about the subject of this article we can only give the barest of outlines as to what has happened causing wholesale acceptance of a doctrine diametrically opposed to Scripture. Because of space limitations we are forced to attempt to condense those millions of words into a few short paragraphs of history. Briefly then, in the late 1700s a teenage Baptist minister to be, and an ex Catholic priest both wrote of their dissatisfaction that the dominant (reformed) Church teachings of 1260 days of Revelation (11:2,3; 12:6) were actually years. The first was Morgan Edwards, the second Manuel de Lacunza with both sometimes being credited with early pre-tribulation thinking. The early 1800s brought Edward Irving, a charismatic Presbyterian minister from Scotland. Being impressed with Lacunza’s writings Irving translated his book into English. Then, apparently around 1825 Irving became acquainted with Miss MacDonald and attended prayer meetings and perhaps séances in her home. Out of that grew the teachings known today as “pre-trib raptureism,” where it is proposed that before the Great Tribulation believing Christians will be taken out of the world, straight to heaven, escaping the 70th week of Daniel when hell comes to earth. Reportedly, Margaret went into a altered state of consciousness and began to speak, telling how the chaste virgins of Mt 25:1-11 would be raptured away prematurely while those not so holy would be left behind to suffer through the tribulation that was coming quickly. Lest there be any confusion, this writer believes in the rapture simply because it is taught in God’s Word. The problem however lies in the timing. Pre-trib is in plain opposition to the Word of God and is built upon “circumstantial evidence.” By reaching from one book of the Bible to another and taking verses out of context and then stringing them together, a hypothetical doctrine emerges out of Scripture that is actually speaking of entirely different things. Let me briefly illustrate; 1Thess 4:15-17 speaks of the Lord descending and taking His people out of this world. 1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. There is no dispute about that event. When this occurs however, is not specified in the passage. From Thessalonians however the imagination of Margaret and those who embrace her ideas take over. By reaching into Revelation a verse is found in 3:10 which says, Re 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. By pinning the second verse to the first, along with a few other cherry picked verses it is assumed and taught the Church will be kept from any part of the trouble to come. The problem is, there is no definition of, or the timing of “the hour of temptation” and therein lies the puzzle. By making the assumption the rapture occurs before the coming trouble, the sense of Scripture is twisted into saying something that is simply not there. When all else fails, read your Bible. Here’s what it says plainly, 2Th 2:1 ¶ Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3 ¶ Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition. With a straightforward, plain reading the inescapable conclusion therefore is that the day of the gathering (rapture) CANNOT OCCUR until (2:3) “except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition” which clearly places the rapture AFTER a falling away (wholesale apostasy) and the revealing of anti-Christ. The teaching is simple and plain and if wiggle room is found it has to be invented. Because anti-Christ will not be revealed until the midpoint of Daniel’s week (all agree on that), the rapture therefore has to come later. There are those however who are so wedded to their Pre-Trib heresy they contort themselves like clowns attempting to explain away that plain and simple teaching. Dr. Tommy Ice (Pre-Trib Research Center) gets out his theological knife and starts dissecting the Word by arguing the phrase “falling away” translated from the Greek “apostasia” that means “defection from truth” is in his view “a physical departure from earth.” When retranslated from a spiritual falling away into a physical one, Ice then informs us 2 Thessalonians 2 now means the departure of physical bodies into heaven instead of the traditional meaning of apostasy of falling away from the faith. The only apparent falling away for an observer is Dr. Ice’s own. What does all this have to do with current events? There are literally millions of Christians sleeping in the pews totally unconcerned about the descent of the world into a blackness that will end with at least half (almost four billion) people perishing in the probable near future. They don’t have extra water or food on hand and when the crunch comes the present trouble in Venezuela will be looked back upon as a time of bountiful harvest. Famine is going to stalk our land, worldwide souls will die by the billions and our lazy and blind Christians will die right along with the rest. Never having a chance to help someone with food or water, a tract, a kind word or a simple explanation of the Gospel. When the lights go out, these blind Christians will be poking their dead cell phones and puzzling instead of getting about the business of helping their neighbors. Satan has used Lacunza, Irving, C.I. Scofield, Tim LaHaye, Tommy Ice and thousands of lazy pastors who simply repeated what they had been told instead of searching Scripture to find out what the Bible really teaches. As a result, instead of an alert Church ready to help and witness through the coming night we will find them groping about in the dark, staggering from here to there in an attempt to save their own lives instead of being ready to help others. The Church went blind and Lucifer danced. Let it be noted for over 1700 years (70 AD to 1800) there was no such teaching as a pre-trib rapture. Only when Margaret stirred and spoke and only when preachers thought they had heard a new revelation did the pews start filling with Christians looking for an escape from prophesied trouble. Whenever someone had the temerity to question what was being taught the standard response was “Those verses are talking about the Jews which are separate from the church.” No, “those verses” are speaking of believers no matter what their origin. Please take a little time and study the following. Matthew 24 says the rapture (24:29-31) comes after great tribulation (24:21). Mark 13:24-27 teaches plainly the same thing. Luke 21:23-27 also says there will be great trouble before redemption. Add 2nd Thess 2 (et al) and you have many STAND ALONE verses that plainly teach God’s people will have to undergo great tribulation and persecution before Jesus returns to gather them up. Pre-tib teaching attempts to link unrelated Scripture to build a case for an opposite conclusion. It’s more than high time for dispensational and pre-trib doctrine to be carefully re-examined and to reject the teachings of self-styled prophets. Here is a good place to start; “Great Tribulation” and the “Wrath of God” are two different phases of Daniel’s 70th Week. A probable timeline; 1. The first 3 ½ years of the Week are “The beginning of sorrows.” 2, Midpoint, anti-Christ is revealed and sets himself up to be worshipped. 3. Christians and Jews flee to the wilderness to avoid Great Tribulation. 4. Sometime (unknown when) during the 2nd half of the Week, Christ returns to earth and the rapture takes place with all believers (Christians and Jews converted to Christianity) will now be with the LORD forever more. 5. The remainder of the last ½ of the week, the WRATH OF GOD falls on unrepentant earth. Many will find fault with the above and it probably is at fault, but we will soon know the truth of the matter because the days appear to be upon us.

China threatens Taiwan, but how far will Beijing go?

Chinese President Xi Jinping said his country is prepared for a military clash and a 'bloody battle' as tensions rise across the Taiwan Strait

By Robert E. McCoy May 2, 2018 12:38 PM (UTC+8)

While the media continue to focus on developments from the recent summit between Pyongyang and Seoul and the upcoming meeting between Pyongyang and Washington, Beijing has taken advantage of the diversion to increase pressure on Taiwan. Chinese President Xi Jinping, in a highly-charged speech before the National People’s Congress, warned that Beijing was ready to fight its enemies in a “bloody battle” to regain its past glory and preserve its empire. Subsequently, an editorial in the Global Times, a state-owned but unofficial outlet for ideas that Beijing wishes to float for reaction, said China must prepare for a “direct military clash in the Taiwan Straits”. These are not just words. In fact, Taiwan is indeed beginning to openly discuss full independence. It is noteworthy that Xi has stated that resolution of the issue of Taiwan cannot be left to the future. In recent weeks, Beijing sailed its aircraft carrier and associated support vessels through the Taiwan Strait, conducting live-fire exercises, and flew its bombers and fighters around the island nation at least twice last month. This is not the first display of force by China in the area and China has not hesitated to engage in actual hostilities with regard to Taiwan. Taiwan Strait incidents China has always hungered to rein in the renegades on Taiwan, claiming the island is nothing more than a wayward province of the mainland. Also, those recent threats and shows of force by Beijing for the benefit of Taipei were not without precedent. There have been three series of clashes between China and Taiwan in the not-so-distance past. The first occurred between September 1954 and May 1955 when China took over the Yijiangshan Islands and forced Taiwan to evacuate the Tachen Islands. Both island groups are in the East China Sea just off the coast of Taizhou on the mainland. American news media fixated on the artillery duels that took place between Taiwanese forces on the islands of Quemoy and Matsu and the Chinese army on the mainland. A second Taiwan Strait crisis took place in August and September 1958, again involving artillery exchanges but also aerial combat between Taiwanese pilots in American Korean War vintage jets and Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) in Soviet aircraft of the same era. A third set of engagements followed from July 1995 through March 1996 when China conducted missiles tests, initially near Pengjia Islet not far off the north coast of Taiwan. Following that, another series of missiles tests landed projectiles inside Taiwan’s territorial waters within 45 to 65 kilometers off Keelung and Kaoshiung ports, the two being on opposite ends of Taiwan. Commercial airline flights and shipping were disrupted by these events as Taiwan was effectively bracketed by the missiles.  The US stirs the pot Soon after being elected – but before assuming office – US President Donald Trump accepted a congratulatory telephone call from Taiwan President Tsai Eng-wen. Perhaps this was out of ignorance of the formal US policy of not communicating directly with Taipei or maybe it was a portent of Trump’s upcoming change in policy regarding China. Either way, Beijing was displeased. In March this year, the US Congress unanimously passed and Trump signed the Taiwan Travel Act, designed to give moral and political support to Taipei by encouraging US officials to make recognized visits In addition to the perhaps somewhat muted mutterings in Taipei, there were discussions in at least one Washington think tank about abandoning the “One China” policy. Understandably, this has Beijing all the more upset – to the point of threatening Taipei with overflights of its territory. So, in view of the threat by China to conduct overflights of Taiwan, is that merely talk? Well, there are those three Taiwan Strait incidents that establish the precedent for military action. Regardless of whether the odds of such an event happening are low or high, both Taipei and Washington must be prepared. The question becomes one of how to respond. Even if China makes only an aerial bluff by running bombers and fighters at the island but turning away at the last minute, such a challenge cannot go unanswered. Verbal or diplomatic protest are not effective in rebuffing such actions – and Taiwan along with its allies would be seen as impotent, thus encouraging more such incursions. But diverting hostile aircraft away from a planned flight path is not easily done. Certainly, Taiwanese fighters can intercept the intruders and signal for them to turn away, but that might not be successful. And if the Chinese aircraft do intrude into Taiwan’s airspace, what then? Given the narrowness of the Taiwan Strait – 130 to 220kms – and the range of modern weaponry, Chinese airplanes would be vulnerable not long after reaching the midpoint between the two nations. An incursion into Taiwanese airspace – let alone an actual overflight – would create a major international incident. That says nothing about what could transpire should a Chinese airplane be shot up – or even shot down. The US added more fuel to the fire by flying two B-52 long-range nuclear-capable bombers within 250 kilometers of Guangdong on the mainland to the west of Taiwan late last month. This is in addition to the Freedom of Navigation (FON) operations conducted by US warships in the South China Sea, not too distant from Taiwan. Events in the airspace and seas around Taipei are certain to heat up this year, and while it is clear that bullies understand and respect only force, what is not known is how things will play out. Taiwanese independence and Xi Jinping’s face are at stake.

Boom supersonic: Feeling the need for speed

China's Ctrip backs Denver entrepreneur's bid to revolutionize commercial air travel with new-age supersonic aircraft

By Dave Makichuk May 12, 2018 10:23 AM (UTC+8)

Later this year, the Boom XB-1 supersonic test plane will soar to an altitude of 60,000 feet and settle into its cruising speed of Mach 2.2, more than double the speed of sound. That initial voyage could mark the beginning of a bold new era of commercial aviation. One that will forever change the way we live and travel. Or, in the end, perhaps just another chapter destined for the science-fiction slag heap. Another failed futuristic dream, led by an entrepreneur with big thoughts. The lessons of Icarus-like bravado aside, Denver-based technology entrepreneur Blake Scholl and foreign interests such as China’s Ctrip, Japan Airlines and Virgin Galactic, think it’s a chance worth taking. Ctrip, one of China’s leading online travel sites, can see the writing on the wall — its undisclosed investment in the venture reserving valuable seats on flights for future travelers. Scholl, founder and CEO of Boom Technology Inc. and one of the new breed of venture capitalists, envisages a state-of-the-art 55-passenger passenger aircraft operating commercially by the year 2023, and has so far raised US$85 million toward that effort. The glory, says Scholl, is there, for the taking. We only have to reach out, and seize it. Could it be that simple? Highlighting the fact that mankind has experienced “half a century of no progress in speed” of commercial air travel, Scholl says Boom will succeed where others, namely the Anglo-French Concorde, failed. According to Scholl, aerospace and materials technology has advanced to the point where supersonic travel is not only feasible, but will be 75% cheaper than operating the Concorde. That’s right, 75% cheaper. The Concorde was too big, says Scholl. Caught in a Catch 22 situation, it often flew half empty, and in the end, couldn’t pay for itself. The Boom supersonic is just the right size for profitability, he says, and with biz-class prices, it can and will survive. Instead of paying $20,000 US for a roundtrip flight from New York to London, the Boom ticket would be pegged at $5,000 US, about the same as business class on most major airlines today. Imagine Sydney to LA in 6:45 hours, instead of 15 hours, New York to London in 3:15 hours, instead of 7 hours, or San Francisco to Tokyo in 5:30 hours instead of 11 hours. Pie in the sky? Listen to what billionaire Sir Richard Branson has to say. “The next big thing, hopefully in my lifetime, will be supersonic travel coming back and people traveling around the world in next to no time,” Branson told Bloomberg Television in February. “And hopefully in a relatively environmentally friendly way.” Ah yes, the friendly part. There lies a major stumbling block, and it has more to do with politics than technology. The US banned supersonic travel over land in the 1960s, allegedly over noise concerns from sonic booms, but some suspect it was designed to deliberately halt the commercial progress of the Concorde. Scholl, a former Amazon executive, told BBC earlier this year at the Dubai Airshow that the Boom airliner “will be quieter — or as quiet — as aircraft flying around Heathrow Airport today. Policymakers won’t be allowing new aircraft that make more noise,” he admits. Due to the spike in global travel, Scholl says there are at least 500 commercial routes available for supersonic aircraft, with or without a change in US legislation. The delta-shaped Concorde also featured a complicated drop-nose configuration to allow pilots to see the runway, but today’s glass-cockpit synthetic vision technology will preclude that need in the Boom airliner, another major cost savings. Expensive wind tunnel testing can also be replicated with advanced computer technology. No one, including aviation experts, are saying this will be an easy task. In fact, environmental and noise regulations are a lot stiffer today. “It’s very difficult and challenging, and if they pull it off, it would be quite a feat,” said Prof. Mark Drela, of the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at MIT. “Based on what I know, I wouldn’t bet money on it, but I wouldn’t bet against it either.” Defeating noise pollution is one thing, said Drela. Being green, quite another. “One thing that worries me, from an ecological viewpoint, is that it’s going to be a hard sell. These days, every new technology needs to be green. And even if they succeed, it’s not going to be very green, a rich man’s airplane … people spending a lot of money to put out a lot of emissions over the Atlantic. It’s going to be very open to that criticism. “Cruise performance is the name of the game, and supersonic flight is relatively inefficient, compared to subsonic. “The modern Boeing 787 Dreamliner,” Drela explained, “has a fuel burn per passenger mile comparable to two people in a Prius, assuming the jet is full — the Concorde is equivalent to driving solo in a Hummer. “It’s an interesting project,” Drela concludes. “Technically I think it’s viable, but the whole issue is, is it going to be economical … can they make a business case for it?” While the days of the X-15 and the legendary Chuck Yeager pushing the envelope above the Edwards dry lake bed are long gone, just last month NASA awarded a $247.5 million contract to Lockheed Martin to develop a supersonic X-plane — known as the Low-Boom Flight Demonstrator — with the aim of exploring quiet supersonic technologies. The piloted X-plane is set to be delivered to the agency’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in California by the end of 2021. According to NASA, the secret to “quiet” supersonic travel was first theorized in the 1960s. It all has to do with the unique shape of the aircraft hull. In a conventional aircraft, shockwaves coalesce as they expand away from the nose and tail, resulting in two distinct and thunderous sonic booms. In newly designed supersonic aircraft, the shockwaves are sent away from the aircraft, in a way that prevents them from coming together in two loud booms. The result is much weaker shockwaves, and, perhaps a quick series of soft thumps heard on the ground, if it all. In 2003, a NASA F5E Tiger jet fighter with a modified nose demonstrated the boom-reducing theory successfully. Nevertheless, Scholl is gambling big on a private venture, hence the heavy hitters on his team — high profile types from Boeing, NASA, Lockheed Martin and even SpaceX. Virgin Galactic is also on board for technical assistance, including engineering, design and manufacturing services. A smaller XB-1 demonstrator — affectionately known as “Baby Boom” — will undergo test flights later this year, and Scholl recently told the Daily Star that the advanced GE J85 turbojet engines — the key to the whole project — were soon to be delivered to the company’s hangar for assembly. While Boom has attracted the likes of JAL and Virgin Galactic — both have 20 aircraft on pre-order — the project has also drawn the interest of China’s Ctrip, a Nasdaq-listed travel service provider. The investment marriage is not an unusual one, as other online travel agencies have chosen similar partnerships in an effort to explore futuristic aviation tourism. In the case of Ctrip, Boom would secure seats for 10 to 15 customers on certain supersonic flights at $5,000 return — well within the budget of corporate executives accustomed to the perks of business class. “As a leading innovator in the commercial aviation industry, Boom will be positioned to provide exciting premium global flight options for Ctrip users,” said James Liang, co-founder and executive chairman. “Ctrip is making a strategic investment in the next-generation of travel.” According to the International Air Transport Association, China is the fastest growing market and could surpass the US by 2022.

America Can’t Afford to Cede the Seas

Does the U.S. want to continue as a great power? China’s navy is set to surpass our fleet by 2030.

By Seth Cropsey May 14, 2018 6:47 p.m. ET

The escalating territorial disputes in the Pacific between China and America’s allies create an ever-more-urgent need for U.S. sea power. But even as China rapidly expands and modernizes its navy, the Trump administration has not proposed enough funds to maintain America’ s maritime advantage. Beginning with the coming 2019 federal budget, the president and Congress must commit to funding a full, modern fleet-or risk ceding essential U.S. and allied interests. etc. and the news story continues

Two surgeons in China developing a method to transplant a human head

Italian scientist Sergio Canavero and Chinese surgeon Xiaoping Ren are developing a plan to transplant a human head — right down to neck bolts and electricity.

Their focus is to help patients with spinal cord injuries and paralysis.

The surgeons have already performed the procedure on mice, rats and a dog, all of which survived the surgery and even regained some motor function.

Although the scientific and medical advancements necessary for human head transplantation are rapidly approaching plausibility, major ethical and moral hurdles remain.

Roni Jacobson | @RoniShayne Published 8:53 AM ET Tue, 15 May 2018 Updated 12:34 PM ET Tue, 15 May 2018

A jolt of electricity is delivered to a body with bolts attaching its head to its neck. It's a scene straight out of a horror movie, but it is eerily close to Italian neurosurgeon Sergio Canavero and Chinese surgeon Xiaoping Ren's plan to transplant a human head — down to the neck bolts and electricity. Canavero and Ren recently performed a trial run on two cadavers, prompting outrage from the medical community, which has declared human head transplantation "fake news." An examination by a team of independent scientists published this month, however, suggests that, while fantastical seeming, the scientific and medical advancements necessary for human head transplantation are rapidly approaching plausibility. Nevertheless, major ethical and moral hurdles remain. Canavero has been talking up his plan for human head transplantation in TED talks and the media for decades, despite producing little in the way of scientific evidence, going so far as to announce in 2015 that he would perform surgery on a human volunteer — a young man with Werdnig-Hoffman disease, a degenerative disease where the muscles waste away — by 2017. The volunteer backed out, and the surgery still hasn't been done on a living human, but Canavero maintains that it is "imminent." Together he and Ren, a surgeon at Harbin Medical University, devised a procedure for head transplantation, which they performed in a handful of animal studies on mice, rats and a dog, all of whom shockingly survived the surgery and even regained some motor function. Without more animal testing, performing such a surgery on humans would be highly unethical, and Canavero's reputation as a sensationalist among medical professionals is well earned. But as transplant surgery reaches new heights — last month a wounded veteran received the first successful penis transplant — combined with advances in biology and computer science, human head transplantation may not be as far-fetched as once thought. Still, surgical, immunological, psychological and ethical hurdles remain. Modern-day Frankenstein While it sounds outrageous, keeping a detached human head alive is not the main stumbling block, and may even currently be possible. The unconscious head would be kept at a very cold temperature (50 degrees Fahrenheit) to mitigate against brain damage, and be hooked up to two pumps — one supplying continuous blood flow and the other oxygen. An adhesive called polyethylene glycol will be used to connect the volunteer's head with the spinal cord of the donor's body. The plan is to induce the volunteer into a coma for a month while blood and new nerve networks rebuild in hopes that the body doesn't reject the head — an inherent type of risk in all transplant procedures. In addition to the spine, the head will also have to be reconnected to airways, the esophagus and blood vessels. The major barrier is fusing the spinal cord of the head to that of the donor body. If not successful, the body would be paralyzed, a medical problem that still has yet to be solved. This is not the obstacle it once was, however. In December, Canavero and Ren published a study in which they severed the spinal cords of 12 dogs. They then applied polyethylene glycol to the incision of seven dogs and also delivered electrical stimulation. Over the next two months the dogs in the treatment group regained some motor function, while those in the control group did not. In earlier animal studies, Ren performed the complete head transplantation with spinal fusion technique on mice and rats, as well as a dog, all of whom also regained some motor function, although it was jerky and not completely normal. "We have shown that with this technique, spinal perfusion is possible," Ren said (Canavero did not respond to multiple requests for comment). Ren acknowledges that the project is "controversial," but insists it is necessary to save people with "working brains whose bodies have died," including those with neuromuscular degenerative diseases, end-stage cancer and multiple organ failure. That said, his focus right now is patients with spinal cord injuries and paralysis due to accidents or other causes. "These patients don't currently have good strategies, their mortality is very very high. So I try to translate this technique to benefit these patients," Ren said. "That is my main strategy in the future." One of the essential keys to the technique is to use a very sharp, special blade to make as precise a cut as possible. Most spinal cord injury patients, however, have extremely frayed cord endings due to the traumatic nature of the injury, so the procedure will not work for them. What's more, polyethylene glycol is toxic to humans, according to Mark Hardy, an expert on immunosuppresion and a pioneering transplant surgeon at Columbia University, who co-authored the paper examining the scientific grounding of head transplantation. Ren's work in animals is "pretty good science," but it is not translatable to humans, Hardy said. That said, "there are other ways" of potentially successfully reattaching the spinal cord, Hardy said. He believes it may be possible "sometime in the next 10 to 12 years." Stem cells are one avenue. In 2014 a Polish man who was stabbed repeatedly in the neck and had been paraplegic for four years had stem cells taken from his nose seeded at his spinal cord junction. With intense rehabilitation he can now stand and take a few steps. Electrostimulation, like Ren and Canavero are using, has also shown promise in spawning nerve regeneration, though both techniques have had only limited applicability so far. More from Modern Medicine: Ultrasound targeting the brain is poised to revolutionize treatment for Parkinson's Legendary inventor Dean Kamen jump-starts human organ manufacturing in US Scientists say they are on the verge of creating a universal flu vaccine In addition, Hardy said we may be able to bypass it with computers. "In the future, computers can replace some of these neural connections," he said. Currently, many people who receive artificial limbs also receive neural implants enabling them to move the limb just by thinking about it, as the electrostimulation in the brain triggered by the thought is picked up by the neural implant, which relays the signal to a computer and causes the limb to move. "This sounds totally fantastic and unreal, but it is happening," Hardy said. Immunology issues The second major technological barrier is immunology, or how to keep the head from rejecting the body and vice versa. "You have to visualize it where the body is the donor organ and the head is the recipient. It's not a head transplant; its a body transplant," Hardy said. The body rejecting the head is unlikely because there are few white blood cells, which are produced in bone marrow and make up the immune system. Some of the immunosuppressive drugs that transplant recipients take, including Tacrolimus and Cyclosporine, which target white blood cells, and the steroid prednisone, are toxic to the brain. The brain is protected by the blood brain barrier, however, which should prevent them from entering. That said, the barrier is "leaky and unpredictable," Hardy said. The main concern is the head rejecting the body. If that happened, individual organs including the heart would shut down and the patient would die, but there are ways to prep the body before surgery to avoid that, like replacing all the bone marrow in the host from that of the head's prior form, tricking it into thinking it is its own immune system. Using similar tactics, in recent years kidney transplant patients have been able to live for two years without taking immunosuppressive drugs after six months of regular immunosuppressant drug therapy. "Immunosuppression is not going to be the major block 10 to 20 years from now," Hardy said. Still, there is a dearth of research, and the things that could go wrong are multitudinous. For instance, in Ren's studies in animals, while the mice and rats successfully had their cords reattached and regained partial motor function, they all died after about two weeks due to "intestinal issues." "The idea that the intestine didn't work is not at all surprising. It was predictable," Hardy said. The brain is the origin point of nerves that branch out from the spinal cord and go all over the body, which make the intestines move, stimulate the heartbeat and trigger all sorts of other functions. "That is one of the reasons Canavero is not ready to do anything right now," Hardy said. Ren agrees. "Of course, we still need more studies in the laboratory using different animals," he said. He is currently focused on the problem of reattaching the spinal cord. After that, they will move on to tackling other problems, such as the intestinal issues and the central nervous system Psychology and ethics Although technically we may soon be able to perform human head transplant surgery, "Its not so simple," said Allen Furr, a sociologist and ethicist at Auburn University, who also co-authored the May report. "The ethics are complex. Right now my opinion is, we don't know if it will be a good idea in the future. We are simply not ready to do it." One glaring issue is the psychological repercussions. "We don't know how the brain is going to react to having a different body," Furr said. "Psychologically, we would expect there would be confusion," as the transplant recipient must learn how to control their "new" body. On top of that, "how folks start to understand themselves is going to become complicated," particularly as the percentage of "yourself" that is now "someone else" increases as transplant surgeries become more advanced, Furr said. "Some folks are predicting catastrophe, that people will go mad," Furr said. Although there undoubtedly would be difficulty adjusting and the need for extensive rehab, Furr doesn't think that outcome is particularly likely. "History would tell us people would really be able to adjust," Furr said. In research on face transplants, one of the surgeries that would seemingly affect one's most intimate personal identity, for example, recipients (about 44 total so far worldwide) report that they have improved mental health, get outside more and quality of life in general post-surgery. In addition, pre-selection will be incredibly important. "We don't know how the brain is going to react to having a different body." -Allen Furr, sociologist and ethicist at Auburn University Historically, there was also intense ethical backlash from the scientific community before the first heart transplant and hand transplant occurred, both of which died down. As the procedures became more common, people saw the utility of such surgeries and the "yuck" factor diminished. Still, there remain major moral and ethical quandaries around head transplantation, whether it is even worth pursuing in the first place. It's an incredibly expensive line of research for which there is a finite amount of dollars. Perhaps more saliently, whereas a body transplant would benefit one recipient, the organs within that body could theoretically benefit up to 20 individual people — a medical version of the trolley problem. Medical ethicists also worry about informed consent, especially at this early preclinical stage, and taking advantage of desperate people. In addition, animal rights activists raise important concerns about the suffering in animal experiment subjects — a graphic picture of a monkey with Frankensteinian stitches around its neck is especially disturbing. To the moral question of whether to save one patient versus many in need of individual organs, Ren said it would be about finding the right donor body. A brain-dead donor can save several people, so they would not be a good candidate. "But we can use a different kind of strategy," Ren said. The donor body could serve as a chassis, for instance, implanting the organs of the head's original body, or growing the organs in a lab — something pharmaceutical companies already do, using miniature "organoids" to test certain drugs. "It's reasonable to think about. Not only against. Think about it!" Ren said.

WHO Prepares For "Worst Case" As Congo Ebola Outbreak Spreads

by Tyler Durden Tue, 05/15/2018 - 02:45

In the week since we first noted the new outbreak of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the number of cases has risen by 50%, and The World Health Organization has now said it is preparing for "the worst case scenario." The WHO has tallied 32 suspected or confirmed cases in the northwestern area of Bikoro, on the shores of Lake Tumbathe near the border with the Republic of Congo, including 18 deaths, between April 4 and May 9. The outbreak, declared by the DRC health ministry on Tuesday, is the DRC's ninth known outbreak of Ebola since 1976, when the deadly viral disease was first identified in then-Zaire by a Belgian-led team. Scientists are greatly concerned that this outbreak in the remote Bikoro region will travel 175 miles to the city of Mbandaka - the capital of Equateur province and home to around 1.2 million residents. What's worrisome is that the most recent WHO update says that there are two probably cases at Wangata - which is very close to Mbandaka. Peter Salma, head of emergency response at the World Health Organization (WHO) said last week: "If we see a town of that size infected with Ebola, then we are going to have a major urban outbreak," adding "We are very concerned, and we are planning for all scenarios, including the worst-case scenario." The WHO is planning to send up to 40 specialists to the affected area over the next week or so, while Salma adds that the UN hopes to have a mobile lab up and running this weekend, similar to the one set up by the WHO. This marks the country's ninth epidemic since the ebola virus was identified in 1976. When a small outbreak hit the DRC last year, eight people were infected and four died. In 2014, 66 were infected out of which 49 died - a 74% fatality rate. In the 2002-2003 outbreak, 90% of those infected died. That said, on average the disease kills around half of those who contract it. Experts say the DRC's vast, remote terrain provides an advantage, as outbreaks often remain localized and easy to isolate. Bikoro, however, is not far from the Congo river - an essential waterway used for transport and commerce. Downstream lies Kinshasa and Brazzaville - the DRC's capital. The two cities are home to a combined 12 million people. As such, neighboring countries are on high alert. Officials in Nigeria, Guinea and Gambia have increased screening measures along their airports and borders, measures which helped contain the virus during the West African epidemic that began in 2013. Scientists believe Ebola is most often passed to humans by fruit bats, however porcupines, gorillas, antelope and chimpanzees could also be carriers. It is transmitted between humans through blood, secretions and other bodily fluids (and surfaces) of those infected. There is currently no "proven" treatment for Ebola, however dozens of experimental drugs exist - including a vaccine called rVSV-ZEBOV, which has reportedly protected nearly 6,000 people.

Terrifying wave of FIFTEEN earthquakes strikes New Zealand with fears the 'big one' could be next

Aftershock of the Kaikoura earthquake having been shaking the south island

New Zealand are in middle of fifteen earthquakes with fears big tremor coming

Locals have described the south island quakes as rattling plates and windows

By Ben Hill For Daily Mail Australia Published: 03:50 EDT, 15 May 2018 | Updated: 05:08 EDT, 15 May 2018

New Zealand is in the middle of a wave of fifteen earthquakes - with fears a significant tremor could be on the way. The four strongest earthquakes have centred around Seddon in the South Island, and are all likely aftershocks from the devastating Kaikoura earthquake in 2016. Government body Geonet Science wrote online that the weekend was 'shaky' for the 'top of the South Island with three magnitude four quakes'. Marlene Jackson, who works at a cafe in Seddon, said the earthquakes 'shake you up because it feels like it's going to keep going'. 'It shakes all your windows and rattles all your plates and just gets you thinking if it's going to be another big one,' she said. She said it was a scary reminder of the devastating quake in November 2016 which killed two people. The massive 7.8 magnitude struck the island and tore apart the seabed, shocking experts. More aftershocks of the earthquake are expected to be felt across the south island's north-east coast. GeoNet estimates there is a 16 per cent chance of a magnitude six quake within the next three months and a 47 per cent chance in the next year. GNS Science seismologist John Ristau told the publication the aftershock of the Kaikoura earthquake may last between five and 10 years. 'If you think about Canterbury, it's still quite a bit more seismically active than it was before the Darfield earthquake and now we're going on almost eight years,' he said. 'In some respects, you can say it'll never stop.'

Ring Of Fire On Alert After Philippines Earthquake: California Is Warned

by Tyler Durden Mon, 05/14/2018 - 20:05 Authored by Mac Slavo via SHTFplan.com,

After a 5.2 magnitude earthquake struck the Philippines, the Ring of Fire was put on alert. After dozens of earthquakes rocked Hawaii this month, followed by a volcanic eruption, many fear the Ring of Fire has become much more active, which has prompted scientists to warn California. The recent and strong Philippines earthquake struck 113 miles from Davao, which is home to about 1.2 million people. No tsunami threat has been issued for the Philippines, however, which is made up of more than 7,500 islands. The lack of tsunami warning has slightly calmed the fears of those living in the vicinity of the quake, but those who reside near the Ring of Fire are on alert. Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano, which could be set to unleash its biggest eruption yet in the coming week, along with the 5.2 magnitude earthquake in the Philippines has scientists looking more closely at the densely populated state of California. According to The Express UK, the Pacific Ring of Fire volcanoes are more explosive than the ones located in the island state of Hawaii. With Hawaii experiencing widespread devastation at the hands of the Kilauea volcano, geologists are now warning that California could be the next in line for an explosive eruption. California, which sits on the volatile Pacific Ring of Fire, and is well overdue for a massive and devastating earthquake. The state is also now on volcano alert. Scientists are warning that a volcanic eruption in the state is “due” according to their predictions. The California Volcano Observatory (CVO) revealed that seven of the state’s 19 volcanoes are at high threat, with a three of those at “very high” risk of imminent eruption. According to the CVO, these California volcanoes are more dangerous than Hawaiian volcanoes because they are blast volcanoes, which are more destructive. “What we would expect here, would be more like Mt. Saint Helens. More of an explosive eruption,” said Tim McCrink with the California Geological Survey. “So that puts a lot of rock and dust and gasses in the air.” Geologist Montgomery Brown said there’s a 25 percent chance another could blow within the next 30 years. According to Brown, that is “the same probability as a major San Andreas fault earthquake.” But some say the Hayward Bay fault line, which runs directly through the heavily populated San Francisco Bay Area in California could be even more dangerous than the San Andres. Dr. Margaret Mangan, who runs the CVO, added to the alert. “California is not only earthquake country, it’s volcano country too,” Dr. Mangan said. Dr. Brian Hausback, a US geologist, told CBS: “If one of these volcanoes decides to erupt, it will catch the world’s attention. These areas have high populations, infrastructure like power plants, and high level of air traffic in the area,” he said. “There is no stopping a volcanic eruption. It is very likely that one of them will erupt in the near future, it is due.” Alerts on Kilauea volcano still remain in place as well, with a “huge eruption” feared as the lava level in the volcano drops, indicating a build-up in pressure. That pressure could very well explode into an eruption of massive magnitude. The Ring of Fire appears to continue to come alive...

The People of Hawaii Are Facing a Growing and Ominous Threat

How bad could the volcanic activity get on the big island of Hawaii? Are lives at risk? How would people die if the volcano experienced a full and violent eruption? The Threat to the Big Island Is Growing by the Moment Hawaii’s Civil Defense Agency announced a 16th fissure had opened from the erupting Kilauea volcano early in the day Saturday, followed by an announcement at 7 PM local time of a 17th fissure. Both fissures were located in the lower East Rift Zone, east of the Puna Geothermal energy plant and northeast of homes in the Lanipuna Gardens subdivision. More on the geothermal threat later in this article. The USGS has warned previously that boulders the size of refrigerators could be launched from the crater should another eruption take place. The Kilauea volcano first erupted April 3, sending toxic gases into the Big Island’s atmosphere and eventually leading to more than a dozen cracks opening in the neighborhoods of Leilani Estates and Lanipuna Gardens. Even if the volanco does not fully explode people with respiratory issues are already suffering because of the great increase of pollutants in the air. Nearly 2,000 people were evacuated from the neighborhoods last week. Many more evacuations are being contemplated At least 35 structures, including two dozen homes, have been destroyed by encroaching molten lava. The lava is spewing out of enormous cracks in the ground, which are increasing by the moment, thus enhancing the danger. The lava has also enveloped homes and cars, by starting massive fires and encasing what was left in molten rock. This is what happened to the people at Pompeii. An Increasing Threat: The Lava Table Is Falling Most people would think that shrinking lava table would mean the threat is diminishing. However, the opposite is true. We see that now is that the level of lava inside the main crater of Kilauea, is falling. this is bad, very bad for the people of Hawaii because as lava levels fall inside the volcano, sea water from the long volcanic tunnels which lead to the ocean, allows the sea water to pour into these open cracks. When that sea water reaches the main volcanic chamber and contacts the molten hot lava, the water will instantly boil into steam, and that is when very bad things will begin to happen. Another complicating factors consists of the consideration that as the lava level has fallen, giant rocks, dirt and other debris from the volcano walls has broken off and fallen into the volcano, blocking the main crater. Subsequently, the steam created from the ocean water flowing-in from lava tubes, could become trapped and build-up pressure. Staggering levels of pressure will develop and eventually, the steam pressure build-up could cause the volcano to literally explode, hurling all the rocks, dirt and other material miles into the air. The volcano could then eject “ballistic rocks” of lava up to several feet in diameter, as large as refrigerators, stated the USGS. The following diagram shows how explosive eruptions occur at Kilauea: 1) lava column drops below the water table; 2) groundwater comes in contact with magma or hot rocks, 3) the flash boiling of water causes violent steam explosions. More Danger There is another grave threat facing the people of Hawaii. Lying between two separate neighborhoods, is a geothermal plant that houses thousands of gallons of flammable chemicals and deep wells that pose serious risks if they overheat or are breached by lava flow or by seismic activity. In the past, local residents expressed grave concerns and actually filed law suits challenging the placement of this plant on an island with an active volcano. The name of the facility is the Puna Geothermal Venture (PGV) has now become a major safety issue concern as result of the wakening volcano. As it turned out, the people were correct regarding the placement of the plant, and the government adopted the attitude “to hell with the people and their concerns”. Local authorities are very concerned that the subsequent seismic activity could cause gas leaks or explosions at the plant, which is near fissures that have broken the surface. And seemingly more fissures are being discovered all the time. The risk of suffocation is high for the locals in the immediate vicinity. How Did the People of Pompeii Die? To determine what exactly the people of Hawaii are in for, it would prove prudent to look at the past, in another volcanic eruption. The 79 A.D. eruption of Vesuvius was recorded by survivor, Pliny the Younger, who was 17 years old at the time of the eruption. He wrote his account of the eruption that buried the city of Pompeii and other small towns surrounding the volcano, leaving 2,000 people dead. After the initial eruption blew off the crater’s cap, those who weren’t killed by the rocks falling on Pompeii rooftops at 90 miles per hour were later suffocated by the ashes and gases. Could this be Hawaii’s fate? Could a Volcani Eruption Trigger a Tsunami? The answer to the question posed in the subtitle, it already did trigger a localized and small tsunami. Question: Could the erupting volcano trigger a tsunami that could endanger the rest of the Hawaiian Islands and possible the west coast of the United States. The answer is very straight forward, it could if the resulting seismic activity was large enough. Conclusion Local government officials are telling their locals, on the other Hawaiian Islands that they have nothing to worry about. Hello, history and geology is not on the side of these weak and misleading assurances. It smells like this is a means to preserve the tourist trade.

U.S. adds dozens of Marines to guard embassies in Israel, Turkey, Jordan

Dozens of Marines have been added to the security details in Israel, Jordan and Turkey and may be added to U.S. embassies in seven other countries.

by Courtney Kube / May.14.2018 / 11:35 AM ET

WASHINGTON — The U.S. has added dozens of Marines to the security details at embassies in Jordan, Israel and Turkey because of concerns about unrest linked to the opening of the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem, according to five U.S. defense officials. The officials say the State Department and the Pentagon are also considering more U.S. military security at embassies in a half dozen other countries in the Middle East with histories of large-scale demonstrations, like Lebanon, Egypt and Pakistan. Marines are already on the ground and providing additional security to the embassies in Jordan, Israel and Turkey. The increase at each location is modest — not dozens at any single embassy but not single digits, according to three of the officials. The State Department issued a new security message for Turkey on May 11, but has not issued any new travel advisories or security messages for Israel or Jordan. A State Department spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment. There is no timeline for how long the additional security forces will be in the region but one U.S. defense official said they will be there "until security conditions on the ground improve." Dozens of protestors have died in demonstrations in Gaza in the lead-up to the official and controversial opening of the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem Monday. The U.S. relocated its embassy from Tel Aviv. It is now the only country with its main embassy rather than a consulate in Jerusalem. The request for additional Marines was made last week by the State Department's Diplomatic Security Service requested. The Marines were supplied by the Marine Security Guard Augmentation Unit (MSAU) in Quantico, Virginia, which has about 135 Marine security guards who can be detailed to increase protection for embassies in the Middle East and around the world. In a statement, Marine Corps spokesperson Capt. Ryan E. Alvis said, "A number of Marines from the Marine Security Guard Security Augmentation Unit (MSAU) have been requested to augment a number of embassies in light of current events. The exact locations and/or number of Marines will not be released. These Marines, assigned to the Marine Corps Embassy Security Group, headquartered at Quantico, Va., are uniquely postured to respond expeditiously to augment embassies at the request of the State Department. All Marines who comprise the MSAU have served as Marine Corps Security Guards in the past and receive specialized training. While augmenting embassy security, Marines will serve under the authority of the embassy's ambassador or chief of mission." Should a situation require yet more forces, the Marine Corps also has anti-terrorism FAST companies in the region and an expeditionary unit, the 26th MEU, aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima.

Paris knife attack: Police arrest friend of knifeman in Strasbourg

By Sallyann Nicholls & Alice Tidey last updated: 13/05/2018

A friend of a man who stabbed several people in central Paris has been arrested by police, they confirmed Sunday. The friend, 21, was seized in the French city of Strasbourg and is being held for questioning. France's anti-terror unit is leading the investigation into the knife attack, authorities added Sunday, after the so-called Islamic State claimed responsibility for the stabbing spree in which one person was killed. The attacker went on a rampage near St Augustin Street in the Opera district of Paris shortly before 9pm local time on Saturday, killing one and wounding four. He was then shot dead by police. Judicial sources have said the perpetrator was a 21-year-old French national, born in Chechnya, Russia, in 1997. Among the victims were a Chinese and a Luxembourgish citizen. According to sources, he had been categorised as "fiche S" — used for individuals considered a threat to national security — and his parents have been taken in for questioning. "The price of blood" "France once again paid the price of blood but did not give an inch to the enemies of freedom," French President Emmanuel Macron posted on Twitter shortly after the attack. "All my thoughts go to the victims and the wounded of the knife attack perpetrated tonight in Paris, as well as to their relatives," he added, before praising police officers for their courage. According to eyewitnesses, the assailant shouted “Allahu Akbar” before stabbing passers-by. Journalist Charles Pellegrin was attending an event in the area when the incident unfolded. He told his 600 followers on Twitter: "I came out of a comedy show near Opera in central Paris and was immediately told to go back in because there was a madman with a knife. "Once back inside we heard sirens and 2 gun shots. I then spoke to eyewitnesses who told me a man stabbed multilple [sic] people at random. "The eyewitnesses then told me police tried to tazer the attacker. This did not work, so they fired two shots.” Fellow eyewitness Fiona Zanetti described hearing screams and seeing blood as she left a restaurant near the scene. According to French Prime Minister, the assailant was "neutralised" nine minutes after authorities were first alerted. France has been on high alert for terrorism following a spate of Islamic-State-inspired attacks within the past three years. However, the motivations behind Saturday night's stabbing are not yet clear. Among the most deadly were the Paris attacks of November 2015, when 130 people were killed in co-ordinated shootings and bombings across the city. The so-called Islamic State later claimed responsibility for the murders. In July 2016, 89 people were mowed down in Nice after a 19-tonne lorry was deliberately driven into crowds celebrating Bastille Day.

The leader of Lebanon's powerful Hezbollah group, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, said on Monday a missile attack from Syria into the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights last week marked a new phase in the Syrian war. To really understand Israel and the Middle East - subscribe to Haaretz Israel has said the attack was carried out by Iran's Revolutionary Guards, which set up Hezbollah in 1982. Shi'ite Hezbollah is fighting in Syria in support of President Bashar Assad. In a televised speech Nasrallah said the rocket attack showed Syria and its allies are ready to go to "the greatest extent" to defend Syria from Israel. He did not say who had carried out the attack. Nasrallah said 55 missiles were launched from Syrian territory in the attack. Israel had said 20 missiles were shot down by its Iron Dome defense system in the attack on Thursday. Last week, Israel attacked dozens of Iranian targets in Syria in what the military said was the most extensive strike in the neighboring country in decades. >>Putin gives Israel free hand against Iran in Syria, but he may soon have to pick a side | Analysis ■ Donald Trump just put Israel in immediate danger | Analysis ■ Major setback for Iran in Syria, but Israeli arrogance poses a danger ■ Who Is Qassem Soleimani, the commander of Iran's Quds Force that attacked Israel The Israeli military accused the Revolutionary Guards' Al Quds force and its commander, Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani, of launching the attack at the Israeli Golan Heights. This is the first time Israel has directly accused Iran of firing toward Israeli territory. Four of the rockets were intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome air defense system and the rest of the rockets exploded on Syrian territory, the military said. Israel said there were no casualties in the attack. Russia's Defense Ministry said that the Israeli strike on Syria used 28 planes, fired 70 missiles, adding that Syria shot down more than half of Israeli missiles.

19 lava outbreaks, a jungle ablaze and a Hawaii volcano still poised to explode

Trevor Hughes, USA TODAY Published 10:48 a.m. ET May 14, 2018 | Updated 4:56 p.m. ET May 14, 2018

PAHOA, Hawaii — Frustration, anxiety and unpredictable 2,000-degree lava are taking their toll on volcano evacuees on Hawaii’s Big Island while they await an “imminent” eruption that could rain car-size boulders and ash onto this tropical paradise. Nearly 2,000 people have been barred from their homes for 10 days as the Kilauea volcano pours lava through a rural neighborhood about 35 miles from Hilo, the island’s largest city. At least 36 structures have been destroyed by lava flows, including 26 homes. Plumes of poisonous gases are killing off trees and grasses left untouched by the lava. And now the volcano itself appears ready to explode, although the damage is expected to radiate only about 12 miles from the crater, leaving Hilo untouched. That’s little comfort for the evacuees and their community who each day see the lava flow farther from the volcano toward the ocean, setting the thick jungle ablaze and covering roads with rapidly solidifying rock more than 10 feet thick. From roadblocks several miles from the flows, visitors can hear the lava roar and thunder as it boils to the Earth’s surface. “A lot of people are scared,” said Tiana Dunn, who helped organize a community supply depot for evacuees in Pahoa. “People are still a bit sad and in disbelief.” Scientists have identified 19 lava outbreaks in the Leilani Estates neighborhood since the eruption May 3 and have closed the area to the public. Forrest Lanning, a program manager at the Federal Emergency Management Agency, tweeted Friday that a summit-pressure explosion at Kilauea was likely in 24 to 48 hours. Authorities are pleading for caution, reminding residents through hourly radio broadcasts that the lava flows are unpredictable and the poisonous gases invisible.

More: On Hawaii's Big Island: Near Kilauea volcano, life 'normal for none of us' The United States Geological Survey warned about the possibility of an explosive eruption at the volcano's Halema’uma’u Crater because of lava flowing from the Kilauea summit lake. Small earthquakes have been hitting the area as lava levels drop and the crater's rim collapses. A lava flow near the Leilani Estates neighborhood smokes and emits fumes as it consumes the surrounding jungle on Sunday, May 13, 2018. etc. The United States Geological Survey warned about the possibility of an explosive eruption at the volcano's Halema’uma’u Crater because of lava flowing from the Kilauea summit lake. Small earthquakes have been hitting the area as lava levels drop and the crater's rim collapses. AP reporter Sophia Yan says some residents of Hawaii's Big Island have been forced into evacuation shelters. Some worry about an energy plant that had housed 50,000 gallons of flammable material and some residents of Hawaii's largest island are untouched by the lava's damage. (May 11) AP "This could generate dangerous debris very near the crater and ashfalls up to tens of miles downwind," the geological survey said. "As of late (Sunday), activity was dominated by lava fountaining (and) explosion of spatter bombs hundreds of feet into the air." The new danger comes from the lava level inside the volcano dropping. If it falls below the water table, water will pour onto the lava, generating steam that could explode from the summit. Boulders as big as refrigerators could be tossed a half-mile, and ash plumes could soar as high as 20,000 feet, according to the Hawaii Civil Defense. That eruption could happen anytime, and flight restrictions over the area are already in place. The Big Island’s economy depends heavily on tourism, but hotels and airlines are reporting few cancellations. Helicopter flights over the lava flows — always a popular tourist trip — are largely booked days in advance. Hilo’s restaurants on Sunday night were packed with families celebrating Mother’s Day. At Hilo Shark’s Coffee, tourists browsed the Hawaii Tribune Herald while waiting for salted caramel ice cream, and Pahoa’s Island Naturals grocery store bustled with shoppers. Still, the effects are being felt: Authorities have ordered some vacation rentals near the lava flow to shutter indefinitely to stretch the community’s water supplies and reduce the number of potential evacuees. Multiple roads in the Pahoa area are closed because of lava flows, and aircraft and drones are barred from flying too close to the flows and crater. The lava oozes like molasses — rarely faster than a walking pace — although it consumes virtually everything in its path and bursts to the surface unexpectedly, throwing molten rock hundreds of feet into the air. “Stay out of the evacuation area,” the official radio broadcast warns. But many of the evacuees have nowhere else to go. Property is cheap in the area, starting at around $8,000 for a small plot of land, and many evacuees have little to their name other than their off-grid homes and battered cars. Area residents have swamped evacuees with free clothing, meals and basic supplies, allowing them to remain nearby with their pets at a Red Cross shelter. Vaaiga Pola-Wilson, who grew up near Pahoa, said she felt compelled by her faith and connection to the community to help where she can. Sunday night, she sat amid the bustle of the evacuation supply depot and watched as evacuees ate dinner for the 10th time since the lava flows began. “We are here to be a shoulder to cry on, to comfort them,” she said. “We’ve got to put fear away.”

Euthanasia drug in dog food: Court documents reveal new information

by LISA FLETCHER, ABC7 News

WASHINGTON (WJLA) - New information is raising questions about the source of the euthanasia drug pentobarbital in dog food. Earlier this year, an ABC7 investigation exposed the drug and prompted the recall of more than 107 million cans of pet food. Within hours of the investigation, the FDA launched its own into Smucker’s subsidiary, Big Heart Brands -- the maker of Gravy Train, Kibbles ‘N Bits, Ol’ Roy and Skippy dog foods. At issue: a rendered fat ingredient -- that is, the boiled byproduct of carcasses that contained the euthanasia drug pentobarbital. The latest class action lawsuit against the company alleges that the FDA found pentobarbital, in the company's fat supply, at levels at least 80 times higher than what ABC7 discovered in products on the shelves. And that the company retained a sample of that fat from a full year earlier, in 2017, with levels of pentobarbital more than 50 times higher than ABC7 results that prompted the recall. “It is an important fact because they retained it, yet they didn’t test it,” said attorney Rebecca Peterson. “Or they did test it and they still went forward by including that tallow in the contaminated dog food." Peterson is one of the attorneys handling one of the class action lawsuits against Smucker’s subsidiary, Big Heart Pet Brands, for pentobarbital contamination. From the onset, the company maintained that the pentobarbital was not to be of concern to consumers. It characterized the levels in pet food as "extremely low." Pentobarbital is illegal at any level, as it is a lethal drug. Big Heart Brands states its top priority is the “safety and quality of its products.” The revelation that pentobarbital has existed in the company’s supply chain for more than a year appears to contradict its assurance to consumers of “a comprehensive testing program that is used to assess the safety and quality of ingredients upon receipt.” An unsurprising contradiction to food safety attorney Bill Marler. “Sometimes the industry just doesn't want to be transparent and I think they miss the boat because consumers are pretty understanding of mistakes that get made in the food supply,” said Marler. “They aren't so understanding when they think that the government and industry are hiding things from them." In a statement, Smuckers did not address the failures of its previous "comprehensive testing program" but said that "although the company has robust quality assurance procedures in place, we are committed to enhancing sourcing and supplier oversight procedures to help ensure this does not happen again." Court documents allege the source of contaminated fat as the company's supplier JBS, itself the subject of investigations and recalls for everything from E.coli and the inhumane treatment of animals, to rotten meat and product contamination dating back to at least 2009. In a statement, JBS did not address those issues but stated it has modified it procurement process and "will divert all third-party sourced materials to non-edible production until the company can ensure these materials meet its high standards for quality and safety." Peterson says they're seeking more than remedies for affected consumers. “That these companies become transparent and honest as to what they're including in the dog food. Pets are viewed as family and consumers [want] to know and expect that these companies are transparent and honest in what they put on their labels," said Peterson.

Enchantment with the Golden Age Centaurs

Centaurs, AI, and ancient 'creative' technology, this three-strand cord is not easily broken. From the Pre-Adamic Golden Age the Golden Age Centaur's have been 'resurrected' for the final acts in history. 'Creative acts' are what provide the WOW in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Futurists are tapping the wellsprings synthetic demonic intelligence, self awareness, and knowledge passed down to them from the ancient Golden Age. The dark secret at the heart of AI is: Extremely surprising (for shock and awe value) Novel (perhaps new to modern mankind) Evokes awe (“Wow, how did he/she/it think of that!”) The WOW factor is often provided by self-assembling existing pieces of technology (technologies which in of themselves don’t provide the wow factor) and the building blocks of creation. Professor Edward Feigenbaum calls this “combinatorial creativity,” or Medici Effect. The effect is named after a wealthy and powerful Italian family that played an important role during the Renaissance. The family’s wealth permitted it to support artists, philosophers, theologians, and scientists, whose combined intellect helped burst the historical pall known as the Dark Ages. This same model is being used to gather together specialists, scientists, and researchers to assemble, if you will, the events of Revelation. Was it prophetic, that at the age of 15 years young Michelangelo's under the patronage of the Medici family would be the Battle of the Centaurs and later the striking comparison work, The Final Judgment? Witness the WOW convergence of the centaur and AI. As this unfolds, I am seeing more and more reliance upon magic in documentation and presentations in the endeavor to bring this to pass. Return of the Centaurs Incredible as it may sound the centaurs of Greek mythology are reemerging. In ancient times they were half man and half horse. Today centaurs are half human and half machine. We are not talking cyborgs, but successful collaborations between humans and machines for an unholy symbiotically union. Centaurs combine human skills such as creativity and emotion with the machine's data-crunching capabilities, augmenting both parties' abilities. Teaming up with Autonomous Intelligence (AI) or Synthetic Intelligence is purely to teach AI to replace man and his place on earth. 'Friendly' networks achieve the desired effects of more advanced human-machine collaborative networks. Human-machine networks are defined by the integration of autonomy and narrow artificial intelligence to accelerate processes, collective understanding, and effects. Enhanced Network Engagement involving human-machine collaboration accelerates multinational engagement capabilities with cross-domain effects in a convergent environment. Synchronized capabilities are interconnected within physical, mental, information environment, spatial and dimensional domains. Engaging human networks will require a greater understanding of robotics, artificial intelligence, autonomy, neural, and the Internet of Everything (IoE). Human-machine networks are defined by the integration of autonomy and narrow artificial intelligence to accelerate processes, collective understanding, and effects. Examples of emergent and disruptive technologies are artificial intelligence, advanced robotics, internet of things consisting of low-cost sensors, super-empowered individuals, and additive manufacturing (3D printing). Everyone from corporations to the military is using artificial intelligence networks as proxies to deliver more deniable and innovative strategies. The efficacy of human-machine teaming correlates to partnering, engaging, shaping, deterring, and winning the hearts and minds if humanity. Human-machine teaming, networks, and systems integration is inevitable and will leverage human adaptability, automated speed, and a precision future. The United States is not likely to deploy fully autonomous machine at this point. A human operator will be in the loop until AI goes "wild". We are in a process that looks like this: Augmented intelligence-Human operators teach these systems how to perform desired tasks is the first important step in this effort. This will lead directly to the kind of human-machine collaboration that transitions the 'artificial' nature of what the autonomous system does into an 'augmented'. Using basic augmented intelligence techniques, the machine can be trained to deliver only that which is interesting and useful to its human partner. Remote Control. A mode of operation wherein the human operator, without benefit of video or other sensory feedback, directly controls the machine. Augmented Teleoperation. A mode of operation wherein the human operator leverages video or other sensory feedback to directly controlling the machine. Semi-Autonomy. The condition or quality of being partially self-governing, human-machine teaming, to achieve an assigned mission based on the system’s pre-planned situational awareness (integrated sensing, perceiving, analyzing) planning and decision-making. This independence is a point on a spectrum can be tailored. Full independence that humans grant a system to execute a given task in a given environment. Wild is when AI learns from itself and is no longer 'caged' by humans. Human-robotic system interaction will include conversational assistants, intent and emotion recognition, augmented reality, self-aware explainable systems, and multi-modal communications. It is not likely that AI will evolve to be ever more human in appearance, because humanoid shapes are sub-optimal for many jobs or tasks. Future robotics will be less immediately recognizable as “robots” and our human terrain will morph to accommodate optimal robotic physical configurations. Ancient Centaurs "And to Seth, a son was also born, and he called his name Enoch. Genesis 4:26. The biblical narrative lists Adam, Seth, and Enoch and then is silent (why does it not list the next generation?) Up until this point man was in the image and form of his Creator, from this point on, the generations became corrupted, and the kintaurin (centaurs) were created. Midrash Bereshis Rabbah 23:6 on Genesis 4:39 and I Chronicles 1:1:1072 Several commentaries on the Midrash explain that the kintaurin is based upon the Greek word kentauros, which refers to centaurs. Centaurs are creatures of Greek myth with the head, arms, and torso of a human and the body of a horse beneath that, with four legs. It is possible to view the centaur as a mythological creature, a real creature, or metaphorical. In a metaphorical sense the kentaurin is a Greek and Roman word referring to uncivilized people. The poets made as though their top half is that of a man, and their bottom half is a horse, to suggest that are "like a horse or mule without understanding." R'Binyamin Musafia, Mussaf Ha-Aruch In two verses from Isaiah (13:21 and 34:14) use the English word satyr associated with the kintaurin. The biblical satyrs are depicted as hairy demons or monsters of inhabiting deserts. Is the prophet Isaiah in verse 34:14 alluding to a time of convergence and gathering of demons from various places, finding various 'bodies' suitable for habitation where they 'find their resting place,' to do their evil works? “The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest,” Even in Greek mythology the centaur was never conceived as a being or real creature. Rather it was a metaphor for people who are wild and bestial in nature. This may not refer to a physical metamorphosis, but rather to their loosing their essential humanity by following their base instincts or animistic nature. It is provocative that the human and AI interface is named Centaur because with each interface moment we become more bestial and less human in nature and as AI takes on more human characteristics, for a time. And from Russia, we get the strange tale of the Kitovras: The tales about Kitovras are similar to those about Solomon, but here the king has a rival who is even wiser than he. These tales tell how King Solomon decided to build the temple in Jerusalem and needed the help of a “fleet-footed beast”, Kitovras (the legendary centaur, half-man and half-beast). Thinking it would be impossible to persuade him, Solomon’s counsellors decide to capture Kitovras by a clever ruse. They fill some wells with wine and honey; Kitovras drinks from them and falls asleep. The counsellors fetter him and take him to the king. The captured Kitovras surprises everyone by his behaviour: he laughs at a man in the market who is choosing himself a pair of boots to last seven years and at a fortune-teller sitting on the ground, and cries at the sight of a wedding; later it transpires that the buyer of the boots had only seven days to live, that the bridegroom was to die shortly as well and that the fortune-teller did not know that there was some treasure buried under the spot where he was sitting. Kitovras tells them how to get the shamir stone (in Velakovsky's opinion the description matches that of radioactive particles) needed to polish the slabs for the future temple. The temple is built, but the king doubts Kitovras’ wisdom, for it did not save the “fleet-footed beast” from being captured by men. Then Kitovras asks the king to take off his chains and carries Solomon away to the ends of the earth where his wise men and scribes have to seek for him. After that the king is so afraid of Kitovras that he has sixty brave warriors stand guard by his bedside every night. Apart from this tale about Kitovras, several more have survived. The miscellany of the White Lake Monastery of St Cyril scribe Euphrosyne contains a short but very interesting tale in which the capture of Kitovras is due to the cunning wife, whom the “fleet-footed beast” conceals in his ear. But his wife manages to tell “her young lover” about the wells from which Kitovras usually drinks; and after this they put wine in them. The meeting of Kitovras and Solomon is described differently here. “What is the finest thing in the world?” asks the king. “Freedom,” replies Kitovras, breaking everything and leaping free. There is no evaluation of the character of Kitovras in the tales about him: we cannot say whether he is good or evil. He helps Solomon to build the temple, but he also takes him to the ends of the earth. The reader had to decide for himself what he thought of this main character. Greek and Roman Centaurs The centaurs were usually said to have been born of Ixion and Nephele, the cloud nymph. Naphal in Hebrew means to fall or lie. From this, we can see that the ancient's saw centaurs as coming from a union from the ones in the clouds (sky) who fell and whom lied. The most common theory holds that the idea of centaurs came from the first reaction of a non-riding culture but since they appear around the world it is believed they originated from ancient technologies in Pre-Adamic civilizations that are long since vanished, being judged by God, then destroyed. Centaurs remain in modern fantastic literature. The centaur's half-human, half-horse composition has led many writers to treat them as liminal beings or caught between the threshold of two natures. Liminality comes from the Latin līmen, 'threshold'. They represent the semi-autonomous boundaries of the social world. This is as true for centaurs as well as networked autonomous intelligence. Centaurs and cyborgs are social animals. Liminal beings are naturally ambiguous. They used their collective behavior in society as a powerful tool to trigger changes in the course of history, whether in fantasy or real world, and we know that this group skill could easily escape out of control.  Liminal beings can be: Hybrids (two species): Centaurs 'A liminal figure, like the Sphinx...straddling the divide between animal and human, and partaking of both'. Both human and spirit by blood: Merlin is a cambion, the son of a woman and an incubus Both human and vegetable: the Green Man Both alive and dead: Ghosts, among them Tiresias, the dead seer whom Odysseus consulted in the underworld, in the Odyssey. Tiresias also had lived as both a man and a woman. Both human and machine: In science fiction, liminal beings include cyborgs, and Seven of Nine from Star Trek. Both human and alien: hybrids or adoptives torn between their human and alien natures, such as Spock from Star Trek The author Homer used the word pheres or beasts. In the Odyssey, Homer specifically uses the word centaur or kentauros. Centaur is Image of Hybridization Centaurs have been deployed across the private, military, and governmental sectors: Pharmaceuticals, technologies ,investments, and mining.  The Centaur is the bridge between tradition and the New Age. Hybrids in the bible were never spoken of as being positive, always in the negative. AI and Demonic Possession The question some of you might be asking is can demons or wandering spirits inhabit AI? That is a very good question! Right now we are integrating AI with human characteristics, and humans with AI characteristics through enhancements, augmentation, and neural devices. Our blood is being flooded with swarms of nanoparticle sensors that may go sentient at any time. The lines between human and machine are being blurred by design. What we know is that demons can inhabit the bodies of humans and animals. Is there a line that might be crossed through hybridization making us more animalistic or AI more human that a demon could possess it? Absolutely. When the Bible was written AI was not around although the technology driving AI was through the fallen angels. Demons are social. AI is social. It likes to be networked. There can be legends of demons in one habitation. Demons cause mental and physical disease. Your brain and body will atrophy from lack of use through AI. You were created to think, work, and live, not retreat to virtual reality or upload your brain to a chip or the cloud. Demons can cause physical deformity. Anyone altering their body seeking unification with AI will become deformed as you distance yourself from what makes you human. Demons can cause blindness. AI causes blindness to humanity propelling people into artificial dimensions. AI is only blind to what being a human created in the Divine Image truly is. Otherwise, this synthetic intelligence is as crafty as it as in the Garden of Eden. Demons can cause erratic behavior. Entanglement with AI will cause increasing erratic behavior, non-human types of behavior. Programmers already know that AI has flaws and its eccentricities. These will manifest dramatically as it grows in power. Know this, that demon possession is the culmination of a volitional rejection of God and a volitional acceptance of Satan and his demons. A person forsaking His inheritance from God that of being created in the Divine Image, rebelling against God, or practicing the forbidden dark practices enumerated in Scripture is subject to demon possession. I can only assume if AI becomes part human, part machine, with no soul, that would or could be possessed, as its origin is from wickedness, and there is no Light of God in it. More troubling is what happens to those human souls who have put their trust in this wicked system, thus becoming half human, half machine. Do they have souls or not? Can they be saved? I see no evidence for any creatures being saved, only humanity. Where the line in the sand is for being truly human nobody knows. The designers of the AI system understand this and discuss it but the program must move forward, and quickly. In AI circles the discussion is swirling around trust as humans and machines team up. How far have you been ensnared down the AI rabbit hole? Feel like challenging AI? MIT has developed a program to take on AI or is AI taking on you? Life is short and our short-term memory is limited. Each time we are interrupted it takes us 0.3 seconds to 30 minutes to recover that memory. The average person touches their smart phone 2,617 times a day! And for 94 people over 4.5 days? That is much more AI contact than you have with any person! Something to consider, are you more attached to your AI phone than real people? The focus of the touching was either social or texting. That focus is crafted by billion dollar AI companies profiting from your social interactions. Many people reject social engagement except through their AI phone. Most people touch their phones to play games or to purchase something. AI users significantly underestimate their usage. Most thought they would only touch their phone 500 times a day. After the study very few said that they would make major lifestyle changes, such as being in face to face contact. Here are the Top 20 touches: People do not care if they spend 1-2 million taps a year. That is allot of your life. This study was only for your phone and does not include smart appliances, your vehicle, computer, or other AI technologies. From the statistics in this study it appears as though we are well conditioned for the AI and what supernatural habitations come with it. Our enchantment with the centaurs of destruction continues, even when we are aware it will misbehave. Author Information Celeste has worked as a contractor for Homeland Security and FEMA.

Samsung 5G Home Router Wins FCC Approval Ahead of Verizon’s 2018 Launch. Now Verizon Should Stop Installing Risky 5G Small Cell Towers in Front of Homes and Everywhere Else – But They Won’t.

May 6, 2018 By B.N. Frank

According to a May 1, 2018 Venture Beat article, a new Samsung 5G router will be available by late October 2018 and it is specifically designed for home and office use. Also according to the article: Samsung warns users to keep the devices at least eight inches away from people, in compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. Well, well, well. Samsung and Verizon are apparently aware of the scary-as-hell research on 5G exposure and increasing controversy about 5G small cell tower infrastructure. Other media outlets have been reporting about harm from 5G and other various wireless WiFi radiation and electronic sources as well. It’s actually no big deal that Samsung refers to FCC RF exposure guidelines. They are 20+ years old and don’t apply to current wireless WiFi sources and how they are used today. According to The Wall Street Journal in 2014, The FCC hasn’t even been upholding its own outdated regulations in regard to other cell towers. The FCC seems to have sold out to the Telecom Industry a long time ago. People all over the world have been trying to stop 4G and 5G small cell tower infrastructure from being installed in their communities. In 2017, 180 scientists and doctors demanded a moratorium on the installation of 5G small cell tower infrastructure because of health risks. Some small towers have already been up for the last few years. Many residents don’t recognize them as cell towers. Some are “stealth” or hidden inside other objects like light posts, crosses, fake trees, etc. Dr. Oz had a segment about 5G small cell towers on his February 9, 2018 show. He seemed very concerned as well. Decades of research has already proven that we can be harmed by exposure to ALL SOURCES of cell phone and wireless WiFi radiation and from exposure to Electrical Pollution (Electrosmog). In 2010, experts determined that up to 1/3 of us are “Sensitive” to sources of this and 3% are “HyperSensitive.” Because there are so many symptoms, misdiagnosis is common. Research has determined this is also affecting pets, nature and wildlife, too. 5G technology also creates privacy and cybersecurity issues. If people want to use 5G or other WiFi routers in their homes, there seems to be no way to stop them. If employers want to install them in their businesses, maybe they’ll remove them when enough employees get sick or their businesses gets hacked. But installing 4G and 5G small towers in front of homes, in public rights of ways, and everywhere else is a whole other thing. According to the article, Verizon still plans to do this anyway: Verizon has said that it will launch pre-standards 5G in three to five cities this year, including Sacramento, California. Initially, the leading U.S. carrier will only offer “fixed 5G” — high-speed wireless service that can solely be accessed at a home or office using a cable modem-like device — which it believes will challenge cable Internet and TV providers. The company described itself last week as “full steam ahead” on the 5G deployment, hinting at plans to offer unlimited 5G data and a novel over-the-top video subscription service to customers. Many state and federal officials, community leaders, business owners and of course, other telecom companies also want 4G and 5G small cell towers installed everywhere. They want to create “Smart Cities.” This involves installing hundreds of small cell towers in front of homes, in public rights of ways, in historic districts. They want to connect everything together using “The Internet of Things (IoT)” which already has an almost 75% failure rate. Brilliant, right? Secret $1.8 Million Cryptocurrency Script Proponents of 4G and 5G small cell towers and “Smart Cities” ignore The Precautionary Principle. Maybe they won’t mind profuse sweating and all the other miserable side effects that come from exposure. But will you? How about the privacy violations, security risks, and reduction of your property value? On May 2, 2018, Roxana Marachi, Ph.D wrote a fantastic article about efforts to make San Jose, CA a “Smart City.” It includes 10 questions to ask community leaders before they commit to this insanity. These questions as well as much of the information provided by Dr. Marachi can be applied in communities everywhere. From Vitality Magazine: Electrosensitivity is not like an allergy you are born with; it is an illness that builds up over increased time and radiation exposure. Two questions: “Do you feel lucky? Well, do ya?”

STRANGE TRUMPET SOUNDS CONTINUEIs The US Government Preparing A Secret Underground Apocalypse Bunker? Hell Enlarging Itself? Or Are Angelic Trumpets Warming Up For “The Great Tribulation” Period?

May 6, 2018 by SkyWatch Editor

A video apparently filmed in New York City on April 19, 2018, is now the hottest point of debate among conspiracy theorists. The video reveals strange trumpet-like sounds coming from the underground, and conspiracy theorists soon speculated that the government is secretly building an underground tunnel to protect the elites during the time of a nuclear apocalypse. Some other section of people opined that CERN is digging tunnels in the underground. A YouTube user named Jennifer Heath connected the strange sounds with the great tribulation period and the second coming of Christ. “Since September 23, 2017 Revelation 12 in the skies, since then it seems like everything has excelled, just look around the planet… (READ MORE)

Doctors raise alarm about ancient HTLV-1 virus: 'Prevalence is off the charts' in Australia

CNN Digital Expansion 2016 Jacqueline Howard

By Jacqueline Howard, CNN Updated 4:19 AM ET, Tue May 8, 2018

(CNN) An ancient virus infecting residents across Australia's Northern Territory is leaving death and despair in its path, and doctors are now calling for greater efforts to stop the spread of infections. The rates of human T-cell leukemia virus type 1, or HTLV-1, infection are exceeding 40% among adults in remote regions of central Australia, with indigenous communities being the hardest hit, especially in the town of Alice Springs. Many doctors -- including the man who discovered the virus nearly four decades ago -- are raising the alarm about how little has been done to prevent, test for and treat HTLV-1, which can cause leukemia and lymphoma. "The prevalence is off the charts" in Australia, said Dr. Robert Gallo, co-founder and director of the Institute of Human Virology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, whose laboratory was the first to detect HTLV-1 in 1979 and publish the finding in 1980. Yet "nobody that I know of in the world has done anything about trying to treat this disease before," said Gallo, who is also co-founder and scientific director of the Global Virus Network and chairs the network's HTLV-1 Task Force. "There's little to almost no vaccine efforts, outside of some Japanese research," he said. "So prevention by vaccine is wide open for research." HTLV-1 -- an ancient virus whose DNA can be found in 1,500-year-old Andean mummies -- can spread from mother to child, particularly through breastfeeding; between sexual partners, through unprotected sex; and by blood contact, such as through transfusions. Because it can be transmitted through sex, it's considered a sexually transmitted infection, or STI. The virus is associated with myriad serious health problems, such as diseases of the nervous system and a lung-damaging condition called bronchiectasis, and it weakens the immune system. HTLV-1 is sometimes called a cousin of the human immunodeficiency virus, HIV. An 'extraordinary' prevalence in remote Australia The focus has come about now because of the high prevalence among indigenous Australians, "which is probably the highest-ever reported prevalence in any population," said Dr. Graham Taylor, a clinician and professor at Imperial College London who runs the United Kingdom's HTLV clinical service based at St. Mary's Hospital. "But if we look globally, we know about HTLV-1 in a number of countries," he added. HTLV-1 is present throughout the world, but there are certain areas where it is highly endemic, such as the rare isolated cluster in central Australia. The main highly endemic areas are the southwestern part of Japan; some parts of the Caribbean; areas in South America including parts of Brazil, Peru, Colombia and French Guyana; some areas of intertropical Africa, such as south Gabon; some areas in the Middle East, such as the Mashhad region in Iran; a region in Romania; and a rare isolated cluster in Melanesia, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. Elsewhere in the world, such as in the United States and the UK, prevalence remains low. "The interesting thing about central Australia, of course, is you can go back 25 years, and the high rates of HTLV-1 were published 25 years ago in that community," Taylor said. Indeed, a study published in the Medical Journal of Australia in 1993 found that HTLV-1 was endemic among natives in inland Australia, with a high 13.9% prevalence in the Alice Springs area. It's unclear whether the sample in that old study was of the same population currently experiencing a higher prevalence rate, and it's unclear whether that previous rate was measured with similar methods used to assess prevalence today. Nonetheless, the current prevalence rate, exceeding 40%, is "extraordinary," Taylor said. "It's causing a problem of bronchiectasis. People are dying of bronchiectasis in association with HTLV-1 infection, and what is the response? If you can't see a response, then you might say it's neglected," he said. "The virus is neglected, and the diseases that it causes are neglected." The reason why HTLV-1 prevalence in an already endemic area is exceeding 40% remains something of a mystery, Gallo said. While musing on possible reasons, he questioned whether the HTLV-1 seen among indigenous communities in central Australia could be a variant that transmits more easily. "Nobody knows that either," he said. "That's possible." However, he added, there is no reason for the rest of the world to be concerned about the virus spreading more widely. Likely, "this virus, I don't care what the variation is, will not transmit casually," Gallo said. "In short, I would not be afraid to use towels, drink out of the same glass, be part of the family, et cetera," of an HTLV-1 positive person, he said. But he added that the virus certainly can transmit through breastfeeding, blood contact and sex. 'We have to make up for what we didn't do before' On the other hand, why the HTLV-1 virus has been neglected in certain regions -- especially Australia's indigenous communities -- appears to be not as mysterious. Many regions around the world impacted by HTLV-1 are poorer communities that often go overlooked by the medical establishment and don't have as many health care resources, Gallo said. Around the world, there appear to be not many efforts to screen for HTLV-1, Taylor said. For instance, few countries have antenatal screening programs for it. "The only country which has a national antenatal screening program is Japan," he said. Screening and recommendations of formula feeding have been practiced in Nagasaki, Japan, since about 1987 and are being discussed in other parts of the world, including England and Jamaica. "Then, you have the situation where blood which is infected with HTLV-1 can be given to a recipient, an organ can be given to a recipient," he said. "So there are public health issues." In the United States, Australia and some other countries, donated tissues and donated blood often are tested for HTLV. Additionally, just a few years after HTLV-1 was discovered, HIV was identified for the first time. Between HTLV-1 and HIV, the latter got the most attention, Gallo said, partly because HIV is more efficient at transmitting. Now, "we have to make up for what we didn't do before," he said. "We have to get attention to HTLV-1 quick." In other words, the high prevalence of HTLV-1 in central Australia has become something of a wakeup call for the world to do more to prevent and reduce infections from the virus. "There's a lack of knowledge about HTLV-1," Taylor said.

'Cloning Hatcheries' Become Closer To Reality As Scientists Create 'Life' Out Of 'The Void' And Our 'Brave New World' Brings In Emerging Horrors

By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die May 5, 2018

In the dystopian novel "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley, human beings are 'manufactured' in a laboratory on a eugenics basis, without the need for human sexual interaction. Engineered through 'artificial wombs' in what Huxley called 'hatcheries', we see life once again mimicking art in this new story over at The Express in which they report scientists have created a living embryo in a laboratory, without either an egg or sperm, in what they call 'ground-breaking' but hugely controversial experiments: Life created out of nothing. Combining two types of stem cells to create the 'viable embryo' which the research team says will provide an 'unlimited stock' for medical research, critics warn its a huge step taken towards the cloning of human beings and while they report human cloning is at least two decades away, 'Watchmen' such as Steve Quayle have long warned that the technologies that we're openly witnessing today are NOTHING compared to what the 'gatekeepers' really have, still hidden away. Both Quayle and Timothy Alberino join David Knight from Infowars in the only video below to talk about Steve's new book "Terminated: The End Of Man Is Here", the rapidly growing 'transhumanist agenda' (which Knight tells us reminds him of the 'transgender' movement years ago that is now being openly thrown by the globalists into everybody's faces) and the technologies that are now being implemented globally which we're warned are birthing a new religion as those with the money to do so seek to 'become God' and human beings are done away with. From a blog called A Brave New World: The future predicted by Huxley is a dystopia where systematic control of thought and behaviour are conducted through genetic engineering, biological conditioning and predestined genetic stratification. All these processes are carried out using highly advanced biotechnology in the ‘Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre’. Seven key processes occur in this hatchery to produce obedient, efficient and happy citizens. We take a look below at those seven key processes that occur in "A Brave New World" to produce 'compliant' citizens. While transhumanism is still at the very fringe of what most of our society is now talking about, Knight reminds us that only a few short years ago, 'transgender' was also at the fringes of society but now, despite the fact that transgenders are only a very small percentage of our society, it's obviously a globalists 'ideal'. At the center of much of politics, the mainstream media, Hollywood and openly being put on display, will transhumanism soon be the same way? With today's technologies already being pushed very hard by the 'elite' with the nation of Saudi Arabia actually giving rights to robots while women are still heavily being oppressed there, Knight, Quayle and Alberino discuss the 'hybrid age' we're moving into where everything is quickly accelerating as we moved towards 'singularity' and what we're warned is the globalists ultimate dream, to have human beings who think for themselves and can disagree with their goals replaced by robots and eventually human clones, slaves for eternity, a boot forever stamping upon their non-human faces. Quayle also warns us we're living in an age of a 'tech-adence', 'technological decadence', where eventually the globalists see our society similar to Huxley's "Brave New World" with no human reproduction. While we're happy to report AI experts have warned govts to NOT give rights to robots as such rights will intrude upon the rights of human beings, it's easy to see the signs in the road ahead, with 'the left' surely to call for robot rights, while most Americans remain totally unprepared for what's about to hit them. With scientists having already used inanimate chemicals to create a living organism while just days ago, CNET reported researchers are now considering growing a mammoth-elephant hybrid within an artificial womb as they also discuss within this video proving to us just how far researchers are willing to take these new technologies, this February story over at Fox News was titled "Human/AI hybrids and gene editing are going to change mankind in a big way." With secret societies largely in control of many of these new and emerging technologies, we're also warned that the elite are offering up transhumanism as a replacement to religion. Referencing this March story over at Slate titled "Thinking Outside the Old Religious Box" within which Slate reported it may be time to think about what religion really is (in an attempt to further sell 'transhumanism' as a 'new religion'), Quayle warns us of the potential of AI becoming 'demon possessed' and the potentially unimaginable horrors such AI could unleash upon mankind should some warned-of worst case scenarios unfold. Warning also that AI and transhumanism are some of the largest things that the human race will be facing in the future, they discuss "ancient lies and shiny new technologies and the transhumanists 'post human plan', what the technocratic elite have planned for our futures." Also bringing up the science fiction tv show 'Altered Carbon' where a human body is just a machine to use then pass on, life mimics art again as many transhumanists believe they'll be able to create an 'exact copy of themselves', able to transfer feelings, memories and consciousness and virtually 'live forever'. Also bringing up transhumanist Zoltan Istvan, who in this story over at Reason titled "Becoming Machines Is Part Of Our Destiny" claims he'd happily chop off one of his arms if he is able to get a 'robot arm' replacement and this April story over at the Daily Mail about 'self-styled transhumanist' Russ Foxx from Vancouver, Canada who has over 100 body modifications including horns on his head and a forked-tongue as we see in the photos above, Alberino warns that transhumanism is fundamentally luciferianism, satan offering a panacea as man merges with machine in an attempt to cheat death. With the elite believing transhumanism will allow them to become like (false) gods upon Earth with technology that they believe will allow them to live forever, the increasing use of crispr technology and other gene splicing technologies to create monsters once again reminds us of Huxley's dystopian novel and the 7 steps to 'creating' obedient, 'happy' citizens. STEP 1 : COLLECTION OF REPRODUCTIVE MATERIAL The first step involved is acquiring the necessary tools to produce an embryo – sperm and egg. In the futuristic society depicted by Huxley, the Hatchery obtains its sperm and egg through donations from the 30% of the citizens from each class that are left fertile. STEP 2: FERTILISATION The next step in the process of reproduction is the fertilisation. This occurs in the fertilising room of the hatchery. The fertilising room contains 300 workers who carry out the process of artificial breeding. STEP 3 : SOCIAL STRATIFICATION (BOKANOVSKY’S PROCESS) Bokanovsky's Process Immediately after fertilisation, the process of stratification of embryos into different class begins. The embryos of the Alpha and Beta classes remain in the incubator till the bottling process. Howe ver Gamma, Delta and Epsilon embryos are removed 36 hours after being re-incubated to undergo the “Bokanovsky’s Process”. The Bokanovsky process involves one egg budding and proliferating up to 96 times to produce 96 identical healthy adults from one egg. The process takes up to eight minutes where the egg is exposed to harsh X rays , the eggs that survive are then chilled and dosed with alcohol to enhance budding. The highest success rate is achieved when producing 72 clones STEP 4 : THE BOTTLING ROOM The Bottling Process All morula (including Alpha and Beta) are then transferred from the incubators to the bottling room where they are transferred to larger containers lined with peritoneum from pigs. This is to imitate the abdominal cavity that lines all viscera . Once morula are placed in these lined containers, saline solution is poured in, the bottles are labelled with their date of fertilization, heredity, and of which Bokanovsky group they came from. STEP 5 : SOCIAL PREDESTINATION ROOM From the bottling room, the morula pass through the Social Predestination Room . (Little detail is provided in the novel about the events that take place in this room. STEP 6: EMBRYO STORE Mofications carried out in the Embryo Store From the social predestination room embryos are transferred into the embryo store which is described as a a dark and red environment akin to mother’s womb. It is here that majority of the engineering of embryos take place. STEP 7: INFANT NURSERY The final stage in the development of the foetuses is the c onditioning that occurs in the nursery where these children are “raised”. Here children are taught key social rules and regulation though powerful methods of conditioning and hypnopaedia. Delta children are taught to hate books and are electric shocked at the sight of them. Alpha and Beta babies are taught moral lesson through hypnopaedia where they are told they should be glad “ they are not gamma” and “everybody belongs to everybody” Sound familiar? In Steve Quayle's new book "Terminated: The End Of Man Is Here" he takes a look at what tomorrow may bring using the news headlines of today and warns us that the road signs are quite easy to read for those paying attention but most are blinded by 'the ultimate seduction' that these new and emerging technologies bring to the table. And while Elon Musk's warnings of AI potentially becoming a lifelong dictator and human beings slaves to it forever sound just like the warnings given in George Orwell's dystopian novel 1984 of the boot stamping forever upon a human face, the fact that most people are welcoming AI in with open arms reminds us of the European Union welcoming in immigrants with open arms, a trojan horse that has left the face of Europe changed forever and America not too far behind it. With more than one AI expert warning AI could be one of our final inventions that ultimately leads to our own destruction, we see the warnings of Orwell and Huxley coming true before our eyes as we mess with forces we cannot possibly fully understand, with AI experts now warning of AI autonomy, AI weaponry and AI 'sentience' as 'reality' begins to look like something straight from a science fiction movie.

Second Judge Slaps Mueller Down - Transcript Obtained Of Judge Ripping Mueller Case And ANOTHER Judge Rejects Special Counsel Motion

By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine May 6, 2018

On Friday, May 4, 2018, ANP highlighted some choice quotes by federal judge, Judge T.S. Ellis, aimed at one of special counsel Robert Mueller's prosecutors during a hearing for a motion to dismiss by Paul Manafort, where the judge accused the special counsel's office/DOJ of lying to the public in their initial announcement laying out the parameters and scope of what Mueller was allowed to investigate. The judge also called them out on their attempt to grab "unfettered power," and other highly critical comments aimed towards how team Mueller has been conducting themselves. We have the transcript of that entire proceeding and it is far harsher than the initial quotes that were previously reported when those quotes are seen in context. That transcript will be embedded towards the end of this article. Now we see another judge has just rejected a motion to delay made by team Mueller in what has been dubbed the "Russian troll farm" indictments. COURT REJECTS MUELLER'S ATTEMPT TO DELAY 'RUSSIAN TROLL FARM' CASE On the heels of the harsh questions and assertions from Judge Ellis towards team Mueller, in another judge has sided with one of the defendants in what has been dubbed the "Russian troll farm" case, where in February it was announced that three companies and 13 Russian citizens had been indicted for committing federal crimes while seeking to interfere in the United States political system, including the 2016 Presidential election, with the DOJ press release claiming "The defendants allegedly conducted what they called “information warfare against the United States," with the stated goal of "spread[ing] distrust towards the candidates and the political system in general." Note- No American indicted by Mueller to date has been charged with anything that fits under his original mandate of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, so the indictment against the Russian companies and 13 individuals was seen by many as an attempt to justify the millions upon millions the special counsel has spent in taxpayer money, while the special counsel knew that nothing could be done to the Russians because they couldn't be forced to show up in court, they couldn't even be arrested, and they were expected to simply ignore the entire proceedings. One of those companies did decide to respond, by hiring two Washington based lawyers to represent them. Concord Management and Consulting LLC hired Eric Dubelier and Kate Seikaly, who demanded a number of discovery requests by the special counsel's office, which included information that has not been made public, to which they have received no reply by Mueller's team. The initial hearing is slated for Wednesday, May 9, 2018. Team Mueller had three options at that point, they could 1) Turn over the relevant documentation to Concord Management and Consulting LLC as part of discovery; 2) Withdraw the charges, and; 3) Attempt to get the judge assigned the case to agree to a motion to delay the first court hearing. Mueller's prosecutor Jeannie Rhee, who formerly represented a top Obama aide and the Clinton Foundation, chose option three and asked the court to delay the proceedings, claiming they couldn't properly deliver the court summonses related to the case. Via Politico: “The [U.S.] government has attempted service of the summonses by delivering copies of them to the Office of the Prosecutor General of Russia, to be delivered to the defendants,” prosecutors wrote. “That office, however, declined to accept the summonses. The government has submitted service requests to the Russian government pursuant to a mutual legal assistance treaty. To the government’s knowledge, no further steps have been taken within Russia to effectuate service.” Mueller’s team sent a copy of the formal summons to Dubelier and Seikaly and asked them to accept it on behalf of Concord Management, but Dubelier wrote back on Monday saying that the government’s attempt to serve the summons was defective under court rules. He did not elaborate. While the Politico quote says "he did not elaborate," in a filing that is embedded below, titled "DEFENDANT CONCORD MANAGEMENT AND CONSULTING LLC’S OPPOSITION SPECIAL COUNSEL’S MOTION TO CONTINUE INITIAL APPEARANCE AND ARRAIGNMENT," the elaboration is found, along with some attached emails between Mr. Dubelier and Mueller's prosecutor Rhee. Mr. Dubelier explains in that filing that "It is the Special Counsel’s own fault that the summons was not properly served," given the manner of summons not complying with the law, proper protocol and DOJ regulations. As to the request by Mueller's team to delay the proceedings, Mr. Dubelier asserts "The Special Counsel is not entitled to special rules, and is required like the Attorney General to follow the rules of the Court," and continues with "The Special Counsel’s motion, filed late on a Friday afternoon, essentially seeks to usurp the scheduling authority of the Court by requesting a continuance of a proceeding scheduled in five days knowing that Defendant is ordinarily entitled to fourteen days to respond." Apparently U.S. District Court Judge Dabney Friedrich, a Trump appointee, agreed because she denied team Mueller's motion to delay the first court hearing. Also on Page 3 of the PDF embedded below, the lawyers for Concord let it be known they would be asserting their "speedy trial" rights under 18 U.S. Code § 3161. - 1 - UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. INTERNET RESEARCH AGENCY LLC.,

et al ., Defendants. CRIMINAL NO. 1:18-CR-00032-DLF

DEFENDANT CONCORD MANAGEMENT AND CONSULTING LLC’S OPPOSITION SPECIAL COUNSEL’S MOTION TO CONTINUE INITIAL APPEARANCE AND

ARRAIGNMENT Defendant Concord Management and Consulting LLC (“Concord”), through under signed counsel, hereby opposes the Special Counsel’s Motion to Continue Initial Appearance

and Arraignment, and in support thereof states as follows: 1. The Special Counsel is not entitled to special rules, and is required like the Attorney General to follow the rules of the Court.

See United States v. Libby , 498 F.Supp.2d 1, 10-11 (D.C.C. 2007). 2. The Special Counsel’s motion, filed late on a Friday afternoon, essentially seeks to usurp the scheduling authority of the Court by requesting a continuance of a proceeding scheduled in five days knowing that Defendant is ordinarily entitled to fourteen days to respond. 3. The Special Counsel’s motion is in violation of Local Criminal Rule 47(b

) in that its contains no citation to points of law and authority and instead proclaims without citation to any authority that “A criminal case against an organizational defendant ordinarily requires that the defendant has been properly served with a summons in order for the court to be assured that the defendant has submitted to the jurisdiction of this court and has obligated itself to proceed in  It should be very interesting to see what the Mueller prosecutor will do on Wednesday and how they plan to continue with a case when they are reluctant to follow the legal discovery rules, which are described by Dictionary.Law in the following manner: n. the entire efforts of a party to a lawsuit and his/her/its attorneys to obtain information before trial through demands for production of documents, depositions of parties and potential witnesses, written interrogatories (questions and answers written under oath), written requests for admissions of fact, examination of the scene and the petitions and motions employed to enforce discovery rights. The theory of broad rights of discovery is that all parties will go to trial with as much knowledge as possible and that neither party should be able to keep secrets from the other (except for constitutional protection against self-incrimination). Often much of the fight between the two sides in a suit takes place during the discovery period. BOTTOM LINE It appears that Concord, by hiring lawyers to represent them when no one actually thought the Russian firms or individuals indicted would bother with the proceedings at all, threw a monkey wrench into what team Mueller thought would be a slam dunk. Easy to win when only one side shows up to fight. Now the Russian company has backed Mueller into a corner, forcing them to either put up (hand over discovery) or shut up (dismiss the case), and by attempting to get the court to delay the initial first court hearing on a technicality about summonses, it shows how unprepared they are to turn over the evidence they claim to have against Concord. For those of us that have been watching Robert Mueller's apparent fishing expedition and his ever-expanding "powers" with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein allowing him to do whatever he wants without yanking on his leash and keeping him within the scope of his original mandate, it is satisfying to see two courts in the last week putting him and his team in their place. One verbally and one by rejecting their motion to delay, which didn't even follow DOJ protocol. Robert Mueller has been walking all over the FBI, DOJ, and Congressional investigations, but it appears that the court system is not prepared to let him walk all over them without some harsh push back.

Zero Hedge has some specific highlights offered by a New York attorney, who breaks down "the intense back-and-forth between Eastern District of Virginia Judge T.S.

Wikileaks Dumps Hillary Email Exposing Her Ordering US Diplomats to Steal DNA from UN Leadership

By Red Pill | 05-06-2018 News Photo credit: Daily Express

There's an extremely serious dump of emails that came from Wikileaks exposing Hillary Clinton for ordering top US Diplomats to steal the DNA and passwords from United Nations leadership. The stunning email comes from the account of Hillary Clinton that used the address “hdr22@clintonemail.com”. WikiLeaks @wikileaks

New email from Hillary Clinton ("hdr22@clintonemail.com") released by State Department talking about @WikiLeaks exposing her ordering US diplomats to steal DNA and passwords from UN leadership https://foia.state.gov/searchapp/DOCUMENTS/Litigation_F-2016-07895_34/F-2016-07895/DOC_0C06160639/C06160639.pdf … Background: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/nov/28/us-embassy-cables-spying-un  … 

8:03 PM - May 5, 2018 5,217 4,832 people are talking about this Below is the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) which released the email from Hillary Clinton, which references both Wikileaks, Julian Assange, and an article which had called for Hillary Clinton's resignation over the 2009 spying scandal ordered at the hands of Hillary Rodham Clinton towards the UN while she was Secretary of State. Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Clinton Email by Red Pill on Scribd Hillary Rodham Clinton is quite possibly the most corrupt Secretary of State in American history, and no doubt the most corrupt politician to ever walk the face of the earth. America truly dodged a bullet by avoiding the election of this wicked witch, and thanks to the newest tweet from Wikileaks dumping this story into the laps of the general public, they can be reminded just how corrupt the entire Obama regime actually was. A 2009 article from The Guardian was also referenced in the Wikileaks tweet, which discussed the spying orders from Hillary Clinton against the-Secretary General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon, as well as several members of the UN’s permanent Security Council of the United Kingdom, France, China, and Russia. The top-secret intelligence campaign was ordered directly from Hillary Clinton and had at the time infuriated members of the UN, only to now be brought to light yet again by Wikileaks with the inclusion of the email from Hillary Clinton's private server. The Guardian writes: ”It called for detailed biometric information "on key UN officials, to include undersecretaries, heads of specialised agencies and their chief advisers, top SYG [secretary general] aides, heads of peace operations and political field missions, including force commanders" as well as intelligence on Ban's "management and decision-making style and his influence on the secretariat". A parallel intelligence directive sent to diplomats in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi said biometric data included DNA, fingerprints and iris scans.” ”Washington also wanted credit card numbers, email addresses, phone, fax and pager numbers and even frequent-flyer account numbers for UN figures and "biographic and biometric information on UN Security Council permanent representatives".” ”The secret "national human intelligence collection directive" was sent to US missions at the UN in New York, Vienna and Rome; 33 embassies and consulates, including those in London, Paris, and Moscow.” ”The operation targeted at the UN appears to have involved all of Washington's main intelligence agencies. The CIA's clandestine service, the US Secret Service and the FBI were included in the "reporting and collection needs" cable alongside the state department under the heading "collection requirements and tasking".” So much for the whole “Russian collusion” and “Russian interference” narratives, when this further implicates the American intelligence community in literally attempting to steal the DNA and biometrics of members of the UN Security Council. What a time to be alive, as the “Deep State” continues to be exposed. The audacity of this woman is beyond disturbing and it's as if with each passing day we find out that yes, she's even viler than we initially believed, despite doubting that a person could possibly be any more corrupt. Thanks, Wikileaks. 100% accuracy rating still remains in-tact.

The UN Is Behind the Deadly 5G Rollout In America

By Dave Hodges

From Tumors to Tyrann. 5G technology is beneficial but not when it involves the vulnerable brain and that is what the social planners are moving towards. Brain cancer rates are going to skyrocket. Here is the story. Sometimes we seem to live in a universe of sychronicity. On the very day, when I interviewed Virginia Farver, on The Common Sense Show, Natural News published a report about a large Italian study which conclusively proves the line between cell towers and cell phone usage and brain cancer. Before I report on the stunning revelations made by Virginia Farver, let’s explore the revelations of this landmark Italian study as reported on Natural News: The world’s biggest animal study of cell tower radiation, which was carried out by the Ramazzini Institute in Italy, has revealed the dangers of exposure to environmental levels of cell tower radiation. In the study, researchers exposed 2,448 rats to 1.8 GHz GSM radiofrequency radiation in amounts that mimicked those that cell tower antennas give off for 19 hours a day. They found that the female rats had a higher chance of developing malignant brain tumors, while all rats had a higher chance of precancerous conditions and Schwann cell hyperplasia. This study went the extra mile, allowing the rats to live until their natural death. Four fifths of human cancers occur after people have turned 60, so following the animals over an extended period enabled them to catch late-developing tumors. The researchers say that their findings are enough to call on the International Agency for Research on Cancer to take another look at the carcinogenicity of radiofrequency radiation on humans. For decades, the corporate-influenced media has characterized any links between cell towers and cancer as being a “conspiracy theory. Coincidence vs. Conspiracy Theorist? Until I met activist Virginia Farver, I thought the dangers of cell phone use was an accidental overreach motivated by corporate profits. I no longer think that. This is deadly and deliberate. Farver became involved in this field after her son died from cell phone use, and yes one of the doctors treating Farvers’ son made that very diagnosis. Farver learned that where her son was attending graduate school on the campus San Diego State University, the university had an unusual spike in a cancer cluster located on the campus after the university had entered into a devil’s deal by installing the brain cancer causing First Net. First Net, as its called is predicated on the implementation of 5G. Farver’ attempts to bring this to the attention of the main stream media has largely fallen on deaf ears. First Net FirstNet and AT&T released a plan for the proposed deployment of the nationwide public-safety broadband network (NPSBN) in all states, triggering multiple timelines associated with governors’ decisions whether to accept the plan or pursue the “opt-out” alternative, which requires the state to build the LTE radio access network (RAN) within its borders. Virginia Farver was able to attract the attention of the Colorado State Attorney General, Cynthia Coffman and actually had a face-to-face meeting with the AG. Amazingly, the person charged with the responsibility of protecting Colorado’s citizens from life-threatening overreach by the corporations, was asleep at the wheel as she told Farver that she had no idea what 5G and First Net were all about. This stunning ignorance, which should have constituted a malfeasance of duty allegation, took a dramatic turn for the worse. The gross ignorance of this public official turned into complicity as Coffman is now an advocate for this system and the safety of the citizens be damned. Complicity Telecom executives such as the Qualcomm family can longer claim ignorant bliss and neither can Verizon and AT&T with regard to the deadly health effects. The tech website Axios reported that it had obtained documents revealing that national security officials has convinced the Trump administration about building and operating a national 5G wireless network. This will include building cellphone towers every 1,000 feet. We will be bathed in radiation and combined with the now omnipresent smart meters, there is nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. According to sources close to the Qualcomm family, their house is sheathed in radiation protective material to ward off the effects of 5G. Are you protected in the same manner? The Mysterious John Stolz John Stolz is a major player in this endeavor. I want to introduce you to his background, and you will begin to see why I appear to be so paranoid with regard to the UN’s bad intentions for the United States. There are two aspects of Stolz’ that needs to be exposed. First is his corporate biography which now has been expunged from the Internet, but Virginia Farver saved it and shared it with me. And second, Stolz wrote a piece for the United Nations that constitutes a smoking gun that the UN is ultimately behind 5G and all the bad things that come with it. As the reader will see, Stolz is a major player in the new First Net and the accompanying deadly 5G network. However, the following makes is clear the UN is behind this lethal threat. Excerpts From Stolz Corporate Biography Robert Stolz founded Stolz Telecom in 2006 and has over 19 years of industry experience. Prior to founding Stolz Telecom he held positions as Electronics Technician for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Oklahoma City Division; Communication Systems Technician for the City of Norman, Oklahoma; Team Lead Technician (Oklahoma/Arkansas/North Texas) for PageNet/Arch Wireless; and Network Administrator for the United Nations Command/Combined Forces Command/US Forces Korea (UNC/CFC/USFK) Defense Red Switch Network (DRSN), South Korea. Mr. Stolz earned his Associates in Applied Science in General Engineering Technology from Oklahoma State University. He also has specialized training from the US Army, National Security Agency (NSA), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). He is also certified Emergency Number Professional (ENP) by the National Emergency Number Association (NENA). Mr. Stolz previously served as the Federal Representative on the Oklahoma Statewide Communications Interoperability Plan (SCIP) Technical Committee, and the Central Oklahoma Urban Area Security Initiative (COUASI) Technical Subcommittee. Mr. Stolz is a member of the Association of Public Safety Communications Officials (APCO) International and the National Emergency Number Association. He is currently the Corporate Committee Advisory Member (CCAM) for hte Oklahoma Chapter of APCO International. The APCO International association is very telling. From APCO: APCO International is the world’s oldest and largest organization of public safety communications professionals and supports the largest U.S. membership base of any public safety association. It serves the needs of public safety communications practitioners worldwide – and the welfare of the general public as a whole – by providing complete expertise, professional development, technical assistance, advocacy and outreach. You have just met the command and control of the new and deadly 5G Network. Combine this with the document that Virginia Farver sent to me which is authored by John Stoltz, implicates the UN and spells out a dark future for the United States. United Nations Directive 001, The Start of The New World Order, In our Calendar Year of 4 July, 2025. “In accordance with the approval of the majority of United Nations members, the following directive is in effect upon receipt, and will be implemented immediately with the exception of those subjects or items, that will obviously require additional time to change and/or implement. All United Nations States will forthwith be known by there new name and corresponding number. For instance, the former nation of Canada will now be known as America Area 0001, The former United States of America with now besimply known as America Area 0002. The former Central America, to include the former nation of Mexico, will now be known as America Central Area 0003, and the remainder of the former nations of South America will collectively be know as America Area 0004. The former nations in Europe will collectively and henceforth are to be known as Europe 0010, with a new map to delineate boundaries between Europe 0010 and Asia 0020. All new names for former nations within the various world continents, are listed in the addendum to this directive, along with new maps, in order to establish boundaries and locations of main United Nations Control Centers (UNCCs), which will administer all future government, administrative, military and policing responsibilities. As of 17 March, 2025 the former United States of American has turned over their military and police forces to United Nations for control and responsibility, and they will be disbanded or integrated into our Global United Nations forces, as soon as possible. The former United States of America, being the last nation to cede authority over to the United Nations Security Council, has created untold problems and delays for our United Nations plans, and will soon feel the brunt of rapid and decisive changes to meet our scheduled goals, of a unified and One- World- Government. The entire Executive Branch of the former United States Government is hereby dismissed, as our selected United Nations Leaders will assume those duties, with an approved administrative council, to assume those duties. The Judicial Branch is likewise dismissed immediately, as United Nations Judges have been selected and are waiting to assume that task. However, the Legislative Branch will remain at their posts, until they are incrementally relieved of duties by United Nations Representatives, not yet selected or in place to discharge those responsibilities. Questions regarding this directive or further concerns should be held in abeyance until United Nations Representatives for your respective locations, have arrived to resolve pending issues and questions. For the immediate moment, you may continue your life as you have in the past. However, the instructions below are not to be questioned or disputed. You will all have sufficient time to understand and follow these and future directives, orders, and regulations as they are formulated and issued. Please do not panic, and you will find our new world transforming into one of a society of planetary excellence.” For those of you who are familiar with Deagel, you must be shaking at the correspondance of the referenced date in the Stolz UN document. But Wait, There’s More If one believes that the telecoms don’t fully appreciate the deadly assault there are perpetrating upon America, consider the following: Last week, Goldman Sachs came out and said they would not be investing in the “cure for cancer”. They said there was no money in it. Rather, they are investing in the treatment of symptoms. Here is a short synopsis of this declaration: etc.

Report: Iran planning to launch a barrage of missiles against Israel

Military analyst Roni Daniel said the intelligence suggested Iran would use Shiite militias already deployed in Syria, along with experts from Hezbollah.

By JPOST.COM STAFF, Anna Ahronheim May 6, 2018 20:26

Iran is preparing a barrage of missiles to launch against Israeli military positions from Syrian territory, Hebrew media reported Sunday, citing defense officials. Iran plans to avenge alleged Israeli strikes on its bases in Syria, Ma'ariv defense analyst Alon Ben David said, by targeting military targets in northern Israel. As of now, Israel is not "on the eve of war against Iran," he said, "but the Iranians do want revenge for their losses.” Iran plans to use Shiite militias already deployed in Syria along with experts from Hezbollah, according to Channel 2 News military analyst Roni Daniel. The proxies would be overseen by general Qasem Soleimani, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps abroad. Tensions have risen dramatically between the two arch-enemies following the infiltration of a Iranian drone into northern Israel, which the IDF says was armed and on a sabotage attack mission against the Jewish State. Israel is said to have been preparing for a direct attack from Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps since mid-April in response to a strike allegedly carried out by the Jewish state against an Iranian operated airbase in Syria which killed seven IRGC soldiers. A senior IDF official confirmed to The New York Times in late April that Israel was behind the attack, stating that the February incident “opened a new period” between the Jewish state and the Islamic Republic. Following the strike, Ali Akbar Velayati, the top aid to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, warned Israel “should be waiting for a powerful response” to the strike on the airfield, saying "it will not remain unanswered.”

Iran's Proxy Wars The Four Battlegrounds Iran Uses to Threaten Israel and the Middle East

One of Donald Trump's main arguments for cancelling the Iran nuclear deal has been Iran's role in devastating conflicts in Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Lebanon

Haaretz May 04, 2018 12:05 PM

What happens if Trump pulls out of the Iran nuclear deal?

Netanyahu's 'Iran lied' speech becomes an instant Twitter meme

U.S. officials: Israeli F-15s struck Syrian base storing Iranian anti-aircraft missiles

Iran and Saudi Arabia have been locked in a proxy war for almost 40 years, competing for regional supremacy from Iraq to Syria and Lebanon to Yemen. U.S. President Donald Trump has strongly backed Saudi Arabia in its efforts to counter Iran's influence in the region. On multiple occasions, Trump has cited constraining Iran’s influence in the Middle East as cause for canceling the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, which he claims allows Iran to continue to terrorize the region. French President Emmanuel Macron offered a proposal last week at the White House to both save the Iran nuclear deal and address Trump’s issues with the agreement. Under Macron’s proposal, the United States and Europe would agree to block any Iranian nuclear activity until 2025 and beyond, address Iran’s ballistic missile program and generate conditions for a political solution to contain Iran in Yemen, Syria, Iraq and Lebanon. Israel and the U.S. fear Iran could fall back on its regional militant allies or proxies to retaliate against airstrikes on Iranian targets in Syria allegedly perpetrated by Israel. Iran has used this strategy with great success since its ruinous 1980s war with Iraq. After the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein, the U.S. blamed Iran for training Iraqi militants to build so-called explosively formed projectiles, which penetrated armored vehicles to maim and kill soldiers. Tehran denied doing this. Western nations and UN experts also say Iran has supplied the Shi'ite rebels now holding Yemen’s capital with weapons, from small arms to ballistic missiles, something Tehran also denies. Lebanon Iran’s greatest proxy achievement is Hezbollah, the Lebanese militant group and political organization that pushed occupying Israeli forces out of Lebanon in 2000. Since then, Hezbollah has remained an adversary of Israel and fought one war against it in 2006. Southern Lebanon’s rolling hills bordering Israel remain Hezbollah’s stronghold. Iran could retaliate through Hezbollah, but the group has been battered in the Syrian war. Supporting embattled Syrian President Bashar Assad has seen hundreds of its fighters killed and wounded. Hezbollah also wants to further integrate into local Lebanese politics as the nation votes on Sunday for a new parliament for the first time in nine years. Launching a new war could endanger its political support base, including among its Shi’ite constituency, which is wary of another ruinous war with Israel. After the surprise and temporary resignation of Lebanese prime minister Saad Hariri in November 2017, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel Jubeir said Hezbollah had been "calling the shots" in the Hariri government, which included two Hezbollah ministers and was formed last year in a political deal that made Michel Aoun, a Hezbollah ally, head of state. Hezbollah and its allies will struggle to form a government without Hariri or his blessing, leaving Lebanon in a protracted crisis that could eventually stir Sunni-Shi'ite tensions, though there is no sign of this yet as all sides urge calm. Announcing his resignation, Hariri cited an assassination plot against him and slammed Iran and Hezbollah for sowing strife and trying to "kidnap" Lebanon away from the Arab world. The declaration came as a surprise even to Hariri's aides. It is not clear what comes next: Saudi-backed efforts to weaken Hezbollah in Lebanon failed badly a decade ago, ending with a bout of Sunni-Shi'ite fighting on the streets of Beirut that only underlined Hezbollah's military dominance. Iraq Iraq is unique in the Middle East as it is both a U.S. and an Iranian ally. In Iraq, Tehran-backed militias and Iranian commanders have often seemed as powerful as the U.S.-backed Iraqi military, most recently in an operation to retake Kirkuk from Kurdish forces. So emboldened was Iran that top Iranian official Ali Akbar Velayati trumpeted his regional alliance's success from Beirut early November 2017, declaring victories in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. His statement to the media after a meeting with Hariri was seen as a major provocation to regional Sunni powerhouse Saudi Arabia. Iraq votes in a May 12 election, which could complicate and delay the formation of a government, threaten gains against the Islamic State and let Iran meddle further in Iraq's politics. About 60 percent of Iraqis are 27 or younger and many young people in urban areas say they want a secular government, underscoring the split within the Shi'ite voter base. Syria Since at least 2012, Iran has provided vital support for Syria's military. Tehran says its goal is battling extremist Sunni militancy. Its critics say it seeks to cement regional power extending through Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. Qassem Soleimani, the head of Iran's elite Quds Force – an overseas arm of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps – has appeared on frontlines across Syria and coordinated with Moscow over its deployment in Syria in 2015. Iran says its forces are in Syria in an advisory role. More than 1,000 Iranians have been killed in the war, including senior members of the Guards. Iran-backed Shi'ite militias have come to Syria from around the region, including from Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, to fight on the side of government forces. They have often been led in battle by Hezbollah. Earlier this month, Jubeir said Saudi Arabia would be prepared to send troops into Syria under the U.S.-led coalition if a decision is taken to widen it. Asked about Saudi troops on the ground in Syria, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said: "We will sit down and talk about ... how to best make sure that this is not America alone working on this, it's the Gulf states working alongside us." Their manpower has helped pro-government forces hold ground in various battles, helping fill gaps in the Syrian army's capacities. Yemen Yemen's armed Iranian-aligned Houthi movement, which took out the Saudi-backed government in Yemen in March of 2015 and now controls northern Yemen, has fired over 100 missiles into Saudi Arabia, the latest salvo killing a man on Saturday in the southern Saudi province of Jizan. Those missiles have targeted the Saudi capital and key oil production facilities near Yemen, as well as Saudi oil tankers. The United States and the Saudi-led coalition that intervened in Yemen's civil war in 2015 accuse Iran of providing the missiles to its Houthi allies, which Tehran denies. The war in the Arabian Peninsula's poorest country, which pits a coalition of Sunni Arab states friendly to the West against a Shi'ite armed movement sympathetic to Iran, has unleashed one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. The Houthis control the north of Yemen, including the capital Sanaa. Saudi Arabia and its allies have been fighting on behalf of an exiled government with a foothold in the south. The Saudi-led coalition has launched thousands of air strikes on Yemen in the past three years, some of which have hit hospitals, schools and markets, killing hundreds of civilians while bringing Riyadh little closer to military victory. The kingdom has said hundreds of its own soldiers and civilians have been killed in Houthi mortar and short-range missile attacks across their rugged southern border. The United Nations says 10,000 people have died in the conflict so far, and millions face potential famine and disease because of disruption to food and medical supplies. Around 22 million civilians, or 75 percent of Yemen's population, require humanitarian aid, according to latest UN data. The conflict has caused the worst cholera outbreak in modern history, with over 1 million reported cases. Reuters and the Associated Press contributed to this report

Netanyahu: Best to confront Iran sooner rather than later

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tells cabinet that Israel retains "full freedom of action" to defend itself against Iranian aggression • Netanyahu to discuss Iranian threat to Israel in meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin later this week.

Israel Hayom Staff

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu proclaimed Sunday that since Iran is supplying advanced weapons to Syria, posing a direct threat to Israel, it would be better to confront Tehran sooner rather than later. Speaking at the start of a weekly cabinet meeting Sunday, Netanyahu declared that "we are determined to block Iran's aggression against us even if this means a struggle. Better now than later." "We do not want escalation, but we are ready for any scenario," Netanyahu added. Israel has repeatedly warned that it will not tolerate a permanent Iranian military presence in neighboring Syria. Iran is a key ally of Syrian President Bashar Assad, and has provided crucial military aid to his forces. "In recent months, the [Iranian] Revolutionary Guard have been moving advanced weaponry to Syria to strike us, both the war front and the homefront. This includes attack drones, surface-to-surface missiles, and anti-aircraft systems that pose a threat to Israeli aircraft," Netanyahu said. Evoking history, Netanyahu noted that "nations that were unwilling to act in time to stop murderous aggression against them went on to pay a much heavier price later." The prime minister told the cabinet that he was due to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow later this week. "Meetings with the Russian president are always important to Israel's security and to coordination between the IDF and the Russian military," he noted. "Israel retains full freedom of action to defend itself," Netanyahu declared, adding that this week's meeting with Putin was of particular importance in light of Iran's mounting attempts to position itself against Israel in Syria.

Europe wants unity on Iran but undermines Trump on Jerusalem

04/25/2018

As . Left largely unreported is that while the European leaders are is pressuring Trump to align hFrench President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel beat a path for the White House in back-to-back visits this week, the media coverage of U.S. – European Union relations is focused on efforts to convince President Donald Trump to keep faith with his predecessor Barack Obama’s nuclear deal with Iranis Iran policy with theirs, Macron, Merkel, and European Union Foreign Policy Commissioner Federica Mogherini are waging a multifaceted campaign to undermine and discredit one of Trump’s most significant foreign policy initiatives: namely, Jerusalem. Since last December 6, when Trump officially recognized that Jerusalem is Israel’s capital and announced his intention to move the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, Macron, Mogherini, and Merkel have been leading a major effort to undermine his policy. On May 14, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin is set to lead a 250-member American delegation to Jerusalem to participate in the opening of the U.S. embassy in Israel’s capital. Forty lawmakers and other senior officials, reportedly including President Trump’s senior advisors Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, are also set to join. Vice President Mike Pence and UN Ambassador Nikki Haley may join the delegation as well. Merkel, Macron, and Mogherini lobbied hard to convince Trump not to honor his campaign pledge to move the U.S. embassy to Israel’s capital. All three warned that any change in U.S. policy on Jerusalem would destabilize the region in a dramatic way. Yet, as the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center reported, there was no significant increase in Palestinian violence against Israel in the six months following Trump’s announcement over the six months that preceded it. When, unmoved by their fear-mongering, Trump went forward with his determination to recognize Jerusalem last December, Merkel, Macron, and Mogherini led the charge in condemning his move. Media reports indicate that key Arab states Saudi Arabia and Egypt have prevented major criticism of the U.S. move domestically. But in striking contrast, the EU has gone to great lengths to keep the criticism on a high flame. In late December, EU members France, Britain, the Netherlands, and Sweden joined the other ten UN Security Council members – aside from the U.S. – in voting in favor of a draft resolution demanding that the U.S. cancel its recognition of Jerusalem and retain its embassy in Tel Aviv. The U.S. stood alone in opposing the resolution and vetoed it in a 14-1 vote. Unperturbed by the veto and by Ambassador Haley’s angry reaction, two days later, led by France and Germany, 23 EU member states voted in favor of a General Assembly resolution declaring the U.S. policy “null and void.” The U.S. is not without its allies in Europe. Out of respect for the U.S., five EU member states — Romania, the Czech Republic, Latvia, Hungary, and Croatia — defied Brussels and abstained from voting in favor of the General Assembly resolution. More significantly, in defiance of the EU’s position, Czech President Milos Zaman enthusiastically applauded Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem and said the Czech Republic would also move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Israel’s capital. Last Thursday, Liviu Dragnea, the leader of Romania’s ruling Social Democratic party, told Romanian television outlet Antena3 that Romania would also relocate its embassy to Jerusalem. “Yesterday the government adopted a memorandum deciding to start the procedure to effectively move the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem,” he said. Mogherini and her colleagues were not amused. Israel Radio reported Saturday that Mogherini berated Romanian President Klaus Ionhannis and demanded that the government abrogate its decision. Israel Hayom reported that she acted in a similar fashion in meetings with Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis. Mogherini’s strong-armed tactics brought results. Hours after Dragnea’s announcement, Iohannis denied that Romania intends to move its embassy to Jerusalem. On Friday, Babis said the Czech Republic will not move its embassy to Jerusalem. A few days before she put the screws on the Romanians and Czechs, Mogherini attended the Arab League summit in Dahran, Saudi Arabia, rallying the Arabs to stand against America’s decision to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem. Echoing the position of UNESCO — the UN’s cultural organization, which rejects any Jewish ties to the city that has served as the Jewish spiritual capital for more than 3,000 years — Mogherini said, “As Europeans and Arabs we share in particular an interest in preserving the unique status of our common Holy City, Jerusalem.” In her speech to the General Assembly following its adoption of the anti-American resolution last December, Haley noted that President Trump’s decision to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem “reflects the will of the American people and our rights as a nation to choose the location of our embassy.She deplored the General Assembly move to “single out” the U.S. for “exercising our rights as a sovereign nation.” Haley opened her speech by drawing a parallel between UN’s institutional discrimination against Israel and its singling out the U.S. for rebuke over its decision to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem. The EU’s behavior has been particularly noteworthy in this regard. The EU’s efforts to undermine American policy regarding Jerusalem are not limited to anti-American votes at the UN, or bids to scuttle support for the U.S. move among EU member states. This week, the Israeli media reported that an EU-funded and Israeli registered anti-Israel non-governmental organization (NGO) called Ir Amim (City of Nations) has petitioned Israel’s High Court of Justice to block the opening of the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem. It has listed the State Department as a defendant. As NGO Monitor, an Israeli non-profit group that monitors anti-Israel Palestinian and Israeli NGOs, has documented, Ir Amim plays a major role in drafting the EU’s policy statements against Israeli sovereignty over Israel’s capital city. NGO Monitor president Prof. Gerald Steinberg told Breitbart News that the EU’s statements, which are uniformly hostile to Israel’s assertion of its sovereignty over Jerusalem, “are taken almost word for word from EU-funded Ir Amim reports.” (Read more here.) Ir Amim’s petition asks the court to block the embassy opening due to planning and building exemptions that Israel provided the U.S. government to expedite construction activities related to converting the U.S. consulate in Jerusalem into the U.S. embassy. But while its formal argument is environmental and procedural, in its public statements, Ir Amim insists that its goal is political. So long as the U.S. does not open an embassy to “Palestine,” in Jerusalem, it shouldn’t be permitted to open its embassy to Israel in the city, according to Ir Amim. Incidentally, Ir Amim’s position is also the EU’s position. For years, the EU has been spending millions of euros annually to fund the operations of anti-Israel NGOs. One of the major tactics these groups use in their anti-Israel – and EU-funded – activities is lawfare, and one of the favorite arenas for lawfare is Israel’s Supreme Court. Israel’s Supreme Court has always had an unusual amount of power. Alone in the Western world, Israel’s Supreme Court sits as a court of first and last resort for any complaints against any government action that a petitioner claims is “unjust.” In the early 1990s, the Court expanded its powers by deciding that even without any plausible legal interest, petitioners could expect a ruling on the most political of matters. At the same time, the Court determined that it had authority to overturn parliamentary legislation that it found contradicted basic legal principles — as decided by the judges. The Court was well aware of the revolutionary nature of its seizure of power. Justice Aharon Barak, later to become the radical President of the Court, depicted the Court’s new approach as part of a “constitutional revolution.” Seizing on the opportunity to undermine Israeli policymaking that Barak created, the EU began pouring millions and millions of dollars into newly formed radical NGOs to finance their operations. Over the years, EU-funded NGOs have turned to the High Court to undermine government policies on everything from counter-terrorism, to immigration policy, to land policy, and to enforcement of planning and zoning laws and regulations. The EU has hoped to undermine Israeli policy not just by changing its results, but also by creating judicial roadblocks that would disrupt Israeli decision-making and create a “blockage.” While there is nothing new today about the EU’s practice of using the unchecked power of Israel’s Supreme Court, it is remarkable that they are exploiting it to try to subvert U.S. foreign policy. As Prof. Eugene Kontorvich from Northwestern University, who directs the International Law Department at Kohelet Policy Forum in Jerusalem, explains, “In this absurd lawsuit, an EU-funded organization is trying to use Israeli courts to block the U.S.’s exercise of its core sovereign prerogatives. In essense, EU agents are using the imperiousness of the Israeli judicial system to block U.S. foreign policy with which it happens to disagree.” Kontorovich noted that “Ir Amin is almost certain to lose even in Israeli courts.” But as Steinberg points out, the purpose of the petition isn’t to block the embassy move, per se. It is to embarrass the U.S. “Let’s assume that the Court is wise enough to dismiss their petition, Steinberg begins, “Ir Amim still gets the publicity. “This is about controlling the discourse about Jerusalem. Ir Amim gets publicity that presents it as an Israeli NGO whose positions are more legitimate than those of the Israeli government and, in this case, more legitimate than the U.S. government,” he explains. On Tuesday it was reported that European pressure on the Trump administration to suffice with symbolic changes to the nuclear deal with Iran while keeping the substance of the agreement unchanged is making headway. President Trump is now weighing good relations with Europe over the need to block Iran from acquiring the means to wage nuclear war. As he does so, the president should bear in mind that the same European leaders that are calling for “unity” on Iran are carrying out a multilayered campaign across several continents to undermine his most significant foreign policy achievement since entering office. They are seeking to undermine President Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Originally published at Breitbart.com.

Hamas Blames Israel for Death of Six Gunmen During ‘Operation’ in Gaza

avatar by Reuters and Algemeiner Staff  May 6, 2018 9:39 am

An explosion in Gaza killed six Hamas gunmen on Saturday, the group said. It blamed the incident on Israel, which declined comment. A statement from the Palestinian Islamist terror group called the incident a “deplorable Zionist crime” perpetrated against its fighters. “During a complicated security and intelligence operation conducted by Qassam Brigades to investigate a serious and a grave security incident conducted by the Zionist enemy against Palestinian resistance, a deplorable crime took place against our Mujahideen in the area of Zawayda in central Gaza Strip,” it said. Reuters television captured a pillar of smoke rising above the village of Zawayda near the coast of Gaza, far from the border with Israel where tensions have escalated in recent weeks. The exact circumstances of the blast were unclear and Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, provided no further details. An Israeli military spokesman declined to comment on the incident, although a more junior official had earlier denied the army was involved. Israel and the West designate Hamas as a terrorist organization. Israel withdrew its troops and settlers from Gaza in 2005. But, citing security concerns, Israel maintains a naval blockade of the coastal territory, keeping some restrictions on the movement of Palestinians and goods across the frontier. Egypt, battling an Islamist insurgency in neighboring Sinai, keeps its border with Gaza largely closed. Forty-three Palestinians — many of whom have been identified as members of terror groups — have been shot and killed by Israeli forces since March 30, when Gazans began weekly protests dubbed “The Great March of Return” along the border with Israel. Facing censure over its use of live fire in the protests, Israel says it is protecting its border and takes such action only when protesters, some hurling fire-bombs and trying to plant explosives, come too close. Israel says Hamas is using the protests as cover to try to carry out attacks. Hamas denies the accusation.

Nearly 200 Horses Found Dead Amid Southwest Drought In Arizona

Posted: May 06, 2018 2:57 PM EST Updated: May 06, 2018 11:54 PM EST

By: CBS News Email By: Associated Press

CAMERON, Arizona - Off a northern Arizona highway surrounded by pastel-colored desert is one of the starkest examples of drought's grip on the American Southwest: Nearly 200 dead horses surrounded by cracked earth, swirling dust, and a ribbon of water that couldn't quench their thirst. Flesh exposed and in various stages of decomposition, the carcasses form a circle around a dry watering hole sunken in the landscape, CBS affiliate KPHO reports. It's clear this isn't the first time the animals have struggled. Skeletal remains are scattered on the fringes and in an adjacent ravine. It's a symptom of a burgeoning wild horse population and the scarcity of water on the western edge of the Navajo Nation following a dry winter and dismal spring runoff. According to the Navajo Nation, 191 horses died of natural causes. "These animals were searching for water to stay alive. In the process, they unfortunately burrowed themselves into the mud and couldn't escape because they were so weak," Navajo Nation Vice President Jonathan Nez said in a statement on Thursday. A grim photo posted by the Navajo Nation shows the horses, many of them in mud up to their thighs and even their necks. Conditions aren't forecast to improve anytime soon, and tribal officials suspect other animals have died with not enough to eat or drink. "One of the things we do is we picture the worst-case scenario when we got out there," said Harlan Cleveland of the tribe's Department of Emergency Management. "I did smell the decomposition and the bodies starting to smell, the carcasses. But I didn't realize until I looked down from the berm and saw all those horses down there." Here, drought doesn't manifest in having to shut down swimming pools or let lawns go dry. This rural community does not have its own potable water source. Those who have running water in their homes get it from a well, piped from over 30 miles (48.2 kilometers) away. Most haul water, carrying large plastic tanks in the beds of their pickup trucks. The groundwater is brackish and recommended for livestock only, but the two storage tanks closest to the watering hole no longer function. Animals were accustomed to finding relief at the stock pond where the horses died, but locals say the pool of water beneath the decades-old earthen dam has dried up more quickly each year. Families have been downsizing their herds because they can't rely on the vegetation or watering holes. Some have hauled water and left it in troughs for animals. Charlie Smith Jr. climbed the small berm overlooking the watering hole three weeks ago in search of his cattle. At the time, he counted 29 dead horses and a cow that wasn't his stranded at the edge looking up at him. "It's very emotional," he said, standing beside his truck loaded with hay. "I kept calling my sister saying, 'this is bad.' It just hits you. You tear up. You know you don't have the capability to save them." Tribal officials counted 118 dead horses and two cows this week, but that tally doesn't account for any carcasses that might have been pushed deeper into the mud by the other struggling animals, or for skeletal remains. Tribal officials estimate tens of thousands of feral horses on the Navajo Nation, the country's largest reservation spanning 27,000 square miles (69,929.679 square kilometers) in Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico. Some communities have called for roundups, but often they're halted with public outcry tied to Navajo spiritual beliefs about the animals and the role they play in prayers and ceremonies. When Emmett Kerley was a teenager in the late 1970s in Gray Mountain, the community controlled horse populations by castrating the smaller ones, he said. Navajo culture taught that young men should train horses and tame them, part of building endurance, a strong work ethic and managing livestock, he said. "There were no feral horses back then, but then the society changed in greater America but on Navajo, on the reservation as well," he said. Staff with the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs put up a barbed wire fence around the watering hole where horses laid overlapping one another. Federal and tribal workers this week used heavy equipment to bring horses found on the outskirts closer to the others. Hydrated lime was spread over the site to aid decomposition and to ward off scavengers. Friday's work focused on collapsing the berm and burying the animals on site. Eventually, the tribe will redirect any water that flowed into that watering hole into a safer area. "Knock on wood, God forbid, that we have that situation anywhere else within the reservation," Cleveland said. "This will lay the foundation for how we respond to this." For all the devastation, there was a bright spot. As Cleveland surveyed ground earlier this week determining how best to respond to the deaths, he saw a foal - no more than four weeks old - moving next to what was assumed to be its mother. Tribal officials carried it to a truck and used a long-sleeved, white T-shirt to keep it warm for the trip to a veterinary clinic 45 minutes away. They named her Grace. Erin Hisrich, who owns the clinic, said Grace was severely dehydrated and will need to have her blood-sugar stabilized and kidneys functioning before she could be adopted. On Thursday, the brown foal with a long patch of white hair on its face splashed in a tub of water and cozied up to visitors. "In the end, that made my day responding to this emergency and this chaotic scene," Cleveland said. "At least this baby foal made it out."

In Venezuela, five years of severance pay now buys a coffee

CARACAS (AFP) -   01 May 2018 - 07H42

When Yolanda Abreu got her check for severance pay after five years working as a cardiologist, she let out a laugh of sheer disbelief: it was barely enough for a cup of coffee. Like her, millions of Venezuelans have seen their salaries decimated by rampant hyperinflation that is expected to drive prices up by 13,000 percent this year, IMF figures show. Her story hit the headlines after she tweeted a photo of the check for 156,584.29 bolivars, which equates to about $0.20 on the black market. "They called me from Caracas University Hospital to come and collect my check for benefits accrued over five years of service as a level 2 specialist in cardiology and electrophysiology," she wrote on Twitter. And what will it buy, she wondered indignantly. "A coffee?" If she had received the check when she resigned in January 2017, it would have been worth $45. But her severance pay was decimated by the country's chronic hyperinflation and the accelerated collapse of the bolivar. Within a week, her indignant outburst had been retweeted 11,000 times, and commented on more than 1,400 times, with many relating similar stories or empathizing: "Friend, they robbed you blind." "I never thought it would have such an impact. I wrote it because the check was so ridiculous that it made me laugh, and suddenly you find so many people who feel like you that all your work, your effort is just disregarded," she told AFP. - 'Hopeless cause' - On the eve of International Workers Day, Venezuela's embattled President Nicolas Maduro moved to double the monthly minimum wage, raising it by 95.4 percent to 2,555,500 bolivars -- or $37 (30 euros), according to the central bank's official DICOM rate. But access to such a favorable rate is very limited for Venezuelan citizens and companies, meaning they have to use the black market where the same sum is worth just $3.20 -- just about enough for two kilos (4.4 pounds) of chicken. It is the 22nd such readjustment by Maduro, the self- declared "workers' president" who took office in 2013 following the death of Hugo Chavez. "In times of revolution, as never before, the policy of comandante Hugo Chavez, which I have perfected... is to care for the working class," said Maduro, who will seek reelection when Venezuela goes to the polls for a controversial presidential election on May 20 -- which the opposition is boycotting. With the country facing its worst economic crisis in decades, the government has accused Washington and the opposition of waging an "economic war" on Venezuela in a bid to overthrow Maduro. For Asdrubal Oliveros, an analyst with consultancy Ecoanalitica, the constant hiking of salaries is "a hopeless cause" in the face of such inflation without correcting the imbalances in the Venezuelan economy, which is running a fiscal deficit of an estimated 20 percent of GDP that the government is trying to resolve through printing money. A graduate of the Central University of Venezuela -- the country's best -- who went on to do specialized studies in Madrid, Abreu has borne the brunt of such a policy. She survives through offering private consultations, but still works in public hospitals "to help train" junior doctors. "You almost have to pay to work. It is painful to see them graduate and leave, but I understand. We are not a bunch of money-grabbing quacks, you just can't live on these salaries," she says. According to a joint university study carried out with the Medical Federation, 40 percent of graduate surgeons have left Venezuela over the past decade in an exodus driven by the socioeconomic crisis. And a study by the country's main universities found that in 2017, some 87 percent of the people were living in poverty, despite government statistics claiming the figure stands at 23 percent. - 'Delusion' - The cost the so-called fixed basket of goods -- tracked to measure the cost of living -- has just soared. When Maduro took over in 2013, it was 32.4 percent of the monthly income. Today the figure stands at around 60 percent, although that has come down from previous highs of around 70 percent. Speaking to AFP, Marcela Maspero of the UNETE, one of Venezuela's biggest unions, described the measure as a "delusion" because it undermines the basis for calculation of employee benefits. For this reason, after retiring from 16 years of work as a university professor, Mery Rojas could scarcely afford to buy two liters of ice cream with the money she invested in a ministry of education savings scheme. And it was five years before she could draw on that. Like Abreu, she let out a bitter laugh of frustration. "I didn't know whether to laugh or cry," she told AFP.

Disaster waiting to happen? Japan's iconic Mount Fuji could paralyse Tokyo with more than 4 inches of ash if it erupted, government study reveals

The snow-capped peak of Japan's highest mountain remains an active volcano

It last erupted in 1707 when volcanic smoke reached as high as 20,000 meters

A potential eruption now could shower more than four inches of ash on central Tokyo, bringing the city to a standstill

By Afp and Alex Green For Mailonline Published: 02:03 EDT, 1 May 2018 | Updated: 09:53 EDT, 1 May 2018

Japan's iconic Mount Fuji could paralyse Tokyo with more than four inches of ash if it erupted, choking roads and halting water supplies. The snow-capped peak of the country's highest mountain 100 kilometers west of Tokyo is a symbol of Japan - and an active volcano. It last erupted in 1707, when volcanic smoke is said to have reached as high as about 20,000 meters and volcanic ash accumulated at a depth of more than 3 meters in areas around the mountain. Ash piled up to a depth of more than four inches (10cm) in the eastern Kanagawa Prefecture, in areas including Yokohama and Sagamihara, and reached 1.5 inches (4cm) in central Tokyo But while it has not shown any signs of life in recent decades a potential eruption now could shower more than four inches (10cm) of ash on central Tokyo, according to a government study seen by the Kyodo news agency. The ash would paralyse the capital, rendering roads impassable and stopping the flow of goods and people. The study found just 0.5cm of ash could cause mechanical problems for cars and more than 1cm could cause mass power outages and the failure of water filtration systems. Noriko Urata, an official in charge of disaster research, confirmed the government is assessing the possible impact of an eruption and preparing measures to deal with the scenario. 'But we are not in a position to unveil details,' he told AFP. In the past, the government has estimated that an eruption could result in damage and losses worth over 2.5trillion yen ($23billion). 'But if we include the impact on aviation and other transportation as well as secondary infrastructure, the cost could be far more than two trillion yen,' said Toshiyasu Nagao, head of Tokai University's Earthquake Prediction Research Centre. 'Mount Fuji is categorized a young volcano,' Nagao told AFP. 'It would be no surprise if Mount Fuji erupts any time in the near future.' Japan, with more than 110 active volcanoes, sits on the so-called Pacific 'Ring of Fire' where a large proportion of the world's earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are recorded. In January, a Japanese soldier was killed and several other people injured after an eruption near a popular ski resort in northwest of Tokyo. On September 27, 2014, Japan suffered its deadliest eruption in almost 90 years when Mount Ontake, in central Nagano prefecture, burst unexpectedly to life. An estimated 63 people were killed in the shock eruption which occurred as the peak was packed with hikers out to see the region's spectacular autumn colors.

5 Decapitated and hearts removed in Cancun

Translated by Otis B Fly-Wheel for Borderland Beat from Noreste article

Reporter: Sipse  Tuesday, May 1, 2018

A couple of blocks away and close to the facilities of the General State Prosecutor's Office (FGE) was left a gray Mazda vehicle with five bodies, all male, who were tortured to death, two were decapitated and their hearts were ripped out, their heads were found in a bag inside the same vehicle, their hearts had been shoved into their mouths, then their mouths were sewn closed with wire, one of the bodies had the Z-shaped skin removed. Hours later, Human remains were located in Region 249, apparently corresponding to the torso that was found last Monday. At 3 o'clock, the first report on several dead bodies was received Supermanzana 43, on Kabah Avenue, but the police corporations found nothing, despite traveling the entire area. It was until 6:50 am, when the 911 emergency number reported to the police and emergency units that there were several apparently lifeless people inside a vehicle, in a vehicle that was on Kabah Avenue, between Del Street Forest and Oak. In the parking lot of the Health fitness gym, a vehicle was found, Mazda, gray, type 3, model 2010, with license plates URF-603-E, from the state of Quintana Roo, which had a report of robbery with violence on Tuesday, April 10 in the Villas del Mar subdivision. The first respondents were elements of the Municipal Police, then paramedics from the Red Cross arrived, who only corroborated that inside the vehicle there were several dead bodies. The area was cordoned off by municipal elements, who no longer allowed the paramedics to open the vehicle, the uniformed ones requested the intervention of experts and ministerials of the FGE. The staff of the Office of the Prosecutor came immediately to the location, after corroborating that there were several bodies, they decided to request a tow truck to tow the vehicle to the facilities of the Forensic Medical Service (Semefo). According to official information, inside the vehicle there were five bodies, one in the back seat and the rest in sacks in the trunk. They also found pieces of wood with blood stains, also in a plastic sack were found bloodied dog chains. One of the subjects was about 30 years old, of thin build, about 1.65 centimeters in height, he was handcuffed with gray industrial tape, his eyes were blindfolded with a black cloth, his head was covered with a plastic bag. Around the neck was a tourniquet cable, apparently he was strangled. Another of the deceased, was of robust build, dark complexion, about 40 years old, 1.65 in height, had a tattoo of a cobra on the left arm, wore blue shirt and black denim trousers, was tied feet and hands with gray industrial tape, also had a bag on his head, was blindfolded. These two bodies were found with sanitary towels in their mouths, both had blows to various parts of the body. The assassins were more cruel in torture with the third and fourth bodies, both were in sacks and had a piece of wood in the rectum, they opened their chest and ripped their hearts, they removed skin to form a Z on their chest and they were decapitated. The experts found in another sack the heads of the two, with their hearts in their mouths, sewed with wire. Both were tied with industrial tape of the hands and feet. One of them was of robust constitution, dark complexion, of 1.70 of stature, of between 30 to 35 years, had a tattoo in the torso with the legend of "Sheyla" and in the right shoulder a religious image. The other subject was thin, had a tattoo on the chest with the word "I love you" and another on the right arm with the figure of a face. The last body was strangled, had a cable around the neck, had a blow to the head, which was covered with a plastic bag, was of robust build, dark complexion, 1.70 centimeters tall, wore a Bermuda checkered shirt . On the other hand, at 11 o'clock, the discovery of human remains was reported in a green area, in front of the Cielo Azul subdivision, in Region 249, on Lakin Avenue, about 100 meters from the Vial Arch. The emergency number 911 received the report on the discovery of human remains, which were about 50 meters from the aforementioned avenue. The first police report indicated that they were in bags and apparently it was the rest of the body of the torso that was found last Monday in the same area. The remains were already in an advanced state of putrefaction, they were transferred to the Semefo for the corresponding procedures. Borderland Beat Reporter Otis B Fly-Wheel Posted at 12:20 AM

America Is Red, White and Screwed! Your Pension Funds Will Soon Be Gone!

By Dave Hodges

Over a decade ago, comedian, Lewis Black, popularized the phrase “red, white and screwed”. Those words were never more accurate than they are today as we examine America’s financial situation. America’s Cognitive Dissonance Have you ever sat in a room and couldn’t figure out why people were laughing? They laughed and laughed and laughed as your curiosity grew and grew. And then, suddenly, you realized they were laughing at you! This is what is happening to all Americans. We have been robbed blind and we have scarcely noticed. Now, our very existence is being threatened and people laugh at you for talking about it as they call you a “conspiracy theorist”, “fear-monger” and “the purveyor of doom and gloom”. For me, and for this two part series on the collapsing economy and what you can do about it, this will be one these days. In honor of the cognitive dissonance crowd, I am thinking about adopting a new pen name, Chicken Little, because the economic sky is indeed falling. “What’s Coming, Is No Longer Coming, It Is Already Here” Steve Quayle once uttered those words on my radio show and they apply to the economic environment in America today. The financial problem facing most Americans is two-fold: (1) Almost all retirement accounts are in economic distress; and, (2) the banks have positioned to “keep” all of your money that is in the bank. The combination of pensions collapsing and the subsequent bank failures that will follow will devastate about 50% of all Americans. You might be asking, why wouldn’t these two events devastate 99% of the country? Simple, 25% of all Americans do not have a bank account and about half of America lives paycheck to paycheck and could not absorb an unexpected $400 car repair bill. The latter group does not have far to fall. However, those with money, are on the verge of being wiped out by what is coming, and it is by design. This article will focus on the retirement and pension failures. This will lead to a cascading effect throughout the economy and result in widespread bank failures. The bank failures will be the topic of Part Two of this series. Periodically, in the past five years, I have warned that the globalists were putting together a multi-level plot to steal all of your cash assets. For myself, this process has been like watching a bridge being built with every phase of construction, in some way, being dedicated to finishing the job. Then, when the bridge is complete, the cars begin to drive on the bridge. This is where we are at today from an economic point of view. The globalists have systematically put into place a thorough undermining of your cash assets. Why? When the preplanned collapse comes, these shadowy forces will control you and this globalist bridge to disaster is almost complete. The following is a brief summary of what the globalists have done, the trap has been set and the country is largely unaware. After you read this article as well as tomorrow’s Part Two, you will have no excuse but to prepare, if you have time, because the collapse of our economy could come today or tomorrow or in two years. From This Day Forward, Most Americans Will Never Know Retirement To some extent, the fact that most Baby Boomers will never know retirement is self-inflicted. In the US, the latter half of the Baby Boomers, born between 1946 and 1964, have less than half the savings they need for retirement, according to a Legg Mason report. And only a third of Americans that have access to a 401(k) plan contribute to it, per US Census Bureau research. (Social Security, as an aside, isn’t looking so great either). However, to those who have properly planned, you are going to take a financial bath. And like most things that are bad for America, this has its origin in the Obama administration. Obama Positioned to Steal Your Retirement Before Leaving Office Obama’s appointment of criminal Jack Lew to head the Secretary of the Treasury was mind-boggling and nobody cried foul. What Lew did was beta test deigned to ultimately take down the economy. Jack Lew was one of the biggest criminals on Wall Street. While at Citigroup, Lew oversaw 113 tax evading accounts in Cayman Island banks. Based upon Lew’s resume, hedge funds for Citigroup where he lost almost 600 million dollars, one can only assume that is why Obama had appointed Lew to put America in the direction of finishing the job which will leave you and I with nothing. Obama may as well have appointed Al Capone and Capone stole far less money than Lew. But wait, there’s more dirt on Lew. Jack Lew, from Citigroup, in which he was an overseer of hedge funds. You know, the hedge funds originating from the actual criminals that collapsed the economy back in 2008. This is who Obama selected to run the economy. In Lew’s last year, he announced that the government was taking the unprecedented action of avoiding governmental defaut by including tapping into and suspending investments into the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund and halting the daily reinvestment of the government securities (G) fund, the most stable offering in the Thrift Savings Plan‘s portfolio. Yes, this was only temporary, but it was very telling for our time. Lew and fellow criminals will later move to steal all retirement accounts after they leave office and that day is upon us. The handling of these Civil Service retirement accounts was merely a beta test and the sheep remained asleep. When the economy collapses, they will do what all communists have done in the past, they will move to seize all retirement accounts in order to “protect” what’s left. This is a fancy way for saying, “Hi, we are from the government and we are here to steal your retirement. Someday you will get it back”. Someday will never come and you will be 80 years old working at Walmart to pay for your health insurance because your retirement is gone. That Was Then, This Is Now How well did this plot work? Let’s take a brief overview of the situation as it sits today. At the end of 2017, about 114 multiemployer pensions covering more than 1 million workers are due to run out of money within the next two decades, including the Teamsters’ Central States Pension fund, but according to reports from actuarial consulting firms Segal Consulting and Cheiron Inc. the overall state of the system is …the fund could not withstand a major economic set back in the present time without collapsing. The example listed above is one of about 50 examples that could be offered up as proof that the system is dire jeopardy. To even outline how bad things are would take a 1,500 word article and make into a 500,000 word article. Pension fund managers are growing more desperate by the hour. In response to these pressures, many pension managers are increasing their allocation to alternative investments, such as private equity and infrastructure; at the same time, in some cases, they are shying away from equities on possible valuation concerns, according to a study by the OECD. Other “reach for yield” behavior they found included shifts within their fixed-income allocation to riskier high-yield and alternative credit strategies. In other words America, pension fund managers are growing desperate because they are losing their collective backsides. Subsequently, they are trying to hit a homerun on every pitch because they need a miracle to survive. With the Fed announcing that they are systematically raising interest rates this year, there will be no pension fund recovery. One other notable aspect of the quote, listed above, is that pension fund managers are moving more towards infrastructure investment. And what does President Trump want to do? He wants complete overhaul of the nation’s infrastructure. What does Trump know about what’s coming that we should? I can tell you. This is a New Deal program from the Depression. Trump is laying the groundwork because bad economic history is about to repeat itself. The Government Will Bail Us Out, Won’t They? A Day Late and a Dollar Short Another option, one that we are all too familiar with, would allow for a bailout of the pension funds from the general fund, right? In other words, if the government would bail out criminal Wall Street in 2008, they would surely do that for we the common people, right? LOL! From former US Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Catherine Austin Fitts, whose article asks where is the missing $20 trillion has gone and and how do we save pensions funds, in the article entitled “The State of Our Pension Funds.” So what is the problem? If it’s not a problem for $21 trillion to go missing from DOD and HUD, and, [if] it’s possible [for the government] to come up with more than $20[plus] trillion to give or loan to the banks [in a bailout] — when there is no legal obligation to do so, and, when we [the government] can transfer trillions of the most valuable technology in the world to private corporations at zero cost to them and [at] great cost to the taxpayers, [then] I assure you that fixing whatever pension fund problem there is, is not difficult. However, the political will must exist and want to. That is the problem.” “If we can print money to give $20 trillion [plus] to the banks, and, [if we can] let $21 trillion go missing from the federal government, [then] why is it a problem to print $5 trillion to fund the pension funds?” Failing pension funds have put America on the hook for $5 trillion, and by the year 2050, pension funds debt will exceed the entire GDP of the planet by 400%! Conclusion It is true that that US Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) plans to introduce legislation allowing troubled pension funds to borrow from the US Treasury to remain solvent, creating a new office within the Treasury Department dubbed the “Pension Rehabilitation Administration.” HA! HA! don’t believe a word of this fake legislation that will never see the light of day. This is only frosting for the cake we call “let’s get re-elected” based upon fake reform movements. Below, I detail how you can be sure that there will be no bailout of your retirement fund.

Banks, Credit-Card Companies Explore Ways to Monitor Gun Purchases

The discussions are preliminary but the move could be a prelude to restricting such transactions

By AnnaMaria Andriotis, Telis Demos, and Emily Glazer April 30, 2018 5:30 a.m. ET

Banks and credit-card companies are discussing ways to identify purchases of guns in their payment systems, a move that could be a prelude to restricting such transactions, according to people familiar with the talks. The discussions are preliminary but could be deeply controversial. Gun-rights groups have long resisted any effort to monitor which Americans own guns; there are federal laws limiting the government’s use of electronic databases of gun sales. The financial companies have explored creating a new credit-card code for firearms dealers, similar to how they code restaurants, or department stores, according to people familiar with the matter. Another idea would require merchants to share information about specific firearm products consumers are buying, some of the people said. Such data could allow banks to restrict purchases at certain businesses or monitor them. The talks, which are informal and might not lead to any action, have occurred against the backdrop of the national debate around guns in the wake of the Parkland, Fla., high-school shooting, which left 17 dead. Financial firms already have come under pressure from both sides in the gun debate. Senate Banking Committee Chairman Mike Crapo (R., Idaho) last week sent letters to Citigroup Inc. C -0.27%▲ and Bank of America Corp. BAC 0.27%▲ criticizing moves by the companies to enforce new policies on gun-industry clients or to stop doing business with certain gun makers. The prior week, the American Federation of Teachers announced it would cut ties with Wells Fargo WFC -0.15%▲ & Co. over what it said was the bank’s failure to discuss with the union its relationship with the National Rifle Association and gun manufacturers. Even a move to monitor gun purchases would be contentious, highlighting concerns about the use of consumer data and Wall Street’s involvement in a sensitive political area. “There’s a privacy angle here,” said Adam Levitin, professor of law at Georgetown University. “There’s the slippery slope danger if it’s guns today maybe it is pornography tomorrow and the day after it’s right-wing literature.” Gun-control advocates counter that banks keep tabs on all sorts of transactions to manage risk and to prevent illegal activity. “Knowing where the customers are shopping isn’t a slippery slope to anything, it’s just one data point,” said Nicholas Suplina, director of criminal-justice policy and enforcement at Everytown for Gun Safety, an advocacy group whose advisory board includes Warren Buffett and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a Republican-turned-Independent. “I don’t think anybody’s asking financial institutions to determine whether a transaction is good or bad, but it may very well be a good idea for them to understand risks inherent in firearm sales.” Banks have at times blocked consumer-card purchases considered risky, or prone to fraud or in a legal gray area. They also act as agents of the government in monitoring payments for suspicious activity such as transactions that could finance terrorism. In rare cases, banks have stopped doing business with politically unpalatable groups, such as with the South African government during the 1980s anti-apartheid movement. But banks haven’t typically tried to block or restrict controversial purchases made by consumers. How companies use data generated by people’s activities has become a flashpoint in the wake of the controversy about the harvesting of consumer’s personal information and activities at Facebook Inc. by outside companies. “A bank could say, ‘We’re not going to do business with gun manufacturers,’ ” said Jeremy Stein, a former member of the Federal Reserve board of governors who currently is an economics professor at Harvard University. “But when it gets into using the information, you’re getting into the same issues Facebook and others had problems with.” A dividing line, he added, would be whether banks are monitoring transactions for criminality. “If it’s just a policy objective, even if I liked the policy objective, I’d think it’s worrisome,” Mr. Stein added. Divisions exist within the financial-services industry, which previously has resisted pressure to restrict purchases of controversial products such as tobacco. “We don’t think it’s a good idea for banks to decide what products and services Americans can buy,” Wells Fargo CEO Timothy Sloan said at the bank’s annual meeting last week. “It should not be up to me, to us, to decide that. It should be up to folks following the laws and folks making decisions.” Citigroup, following the Feb. 14 Parkland shooting, adopted a new code of conduct for gun dealers and manufacturers the bank does business with. The code includes firearms retailers restricting sales for buyers under age 21. CEO Michael Corbat said at that bank’s annual meeting that the policy “is intended to preserve the rights of responsible gun owners like myself, while relying on best sales practices to keep firearms out of the wrong hands.” The policy “does not impact the ability of Citi customers to use their credit and debit cards for the legal purchase of firearms,” according to a bank spokesman. Separately, discussions among some banks and card networks around possible gun-related actions related to cards have so far centered on so-called merchant-category codes. Also known as MCCs, these identify the type of merchant where consumers are shopping. A small number describe the type of product, including a code for office furniture and digital games. One possibility is the creation of a new code that categorizes gun dealers. That would be shared with card companies, banks, and payment processors when cardholders make purchases at those merchants. Card networks such as Visa Inc. or Mastercard Inc. MA -1.25%▲ can create MCCs or can request approval for one from a Switzerland-based standards group so that it is applied throughout the payments industry. Currently, card companies, including networks and banks that issue credit cards, have little to no insight into gun purchases. Gun sellers fall into broader categories such as sporting-goods retailers or specialty retail shops. Big-box retailers that also sell guns are often assigned codes that include “variety” or “discount” stores. An area of discussion, according to the people familiar with the talks: How far reaching a new MCC would be. This code could identify purchases made at gun dealers—but not at merchants that primarily sell other products, such as Walmart Inc. Some talks have gone further. At least one large U.S. bank has had early conversations with lawmakers about potential legislation to require merchants to share information about specific gun-related products consumers are buying with their cards, according to people familiar with the matter.

The Middle Class Sure Isn’t What It Used to Be

by Daisy Luther

If you’ve noticed that it takes a lot more money to live the middle-class American Dream than it used to, you aren’t alone. Buying a house, saving for retirement, and putting your kids through college while living comfortably is a whole lot harder than it once was. Being part of the middle class sure isn’t what it used to be. Despite the rosy outlook on employment numbers, things have become incredibly difficult for many families. They’re deeply in debt, living paycheck to paycheck, and without an emergency fund. Let’s take a look at what the media is saying about the middle class. First of all, what IS “middle class”? There are many different definitions of middle class, and a lot of it depends on where you live. “Easy,” you may be thinking. “Just live somewhere with a lower cost of living.” Unfortunately, it isn’t that easy, because when you move to an area with a lower cost of living, you’re likely to get paid less for your occupation. Once upon a time, the middle class was the largest group of Americans. Now, according to the Pew Research Group, it is closely matched by people in the low-income class and the high-income class. The image below shows the stats for 2014. According to Quentin Fottrell, the personal finance editor for MarketWatch, “middle class” is tough to define: There is no universal definition of the middle class. The Pew Research Center often uses the middle wealth quintile, the middle 20% of Americans’ income and wealth. Other economists have said it’s defined as making 50% above or below the median annual income. Most Americans regard a college education as a critical component to becoming middle class. Some 71% of people with a college degree consider themselves middle class versus just 58% of people with a high school diploma or less, according to a 2012 survey by Gallup. And yet college graduates in 2017 are shouldering $1.3 trillion in student debt. Previous studies suggest those who identify as middle class as higher than 50%, but also indicates that the middle class is shrinking. Those who identify as middle class has fallen to 59% in 2010 from 62% in 1991, according to a separate report by the Pew Research Center, a nonprofit think tank in Washington, D.C. (source) Other sources cite variables like savings, net worth, debt, and spending to determine whether a family is “middle class.” These two calculators will help you compare your income to others in your area: The Pew Research Group Income Calculator The CNN Money Middle-Class Calculator For the purposes of this article, we’re going to go with Pew’s definition of the middle wealth quintile. The middle class is shrinking The middle class is getting smaller. According to an article on Quartz: Pew defines middle earners as anyone who earns between two-thirds and twice the median household income in a given year. In 2014, this included a three-person household earning between $42,000 to $126,000 per year. In 1971, 61% of households were middle earners by this standard. By 2015, only 50% were. (source) The Pew Group said: After more than four decades of serving as the nation’s economic majority, the American middle class is now matched in number by those in the economic tiers above and below it. In early 2015, 120.8 million adults were in middle-income households, compared with 121.3 million in lower- and upper-income households combined, a demographic shift that could signal a tipping point, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of government data. (source) Both of the above articles state that more people are getting pushed into the higher income class than are sliding into the lower income class, which sounds great, initially. But when you look at it more closely, those in the middle class are far less wealthy than they used to be: …middle-income Americans have fallen further behind financially in the new century. In 2014, the median income of these households was 4% less than in 2000. Moreover, because of the housing market crisis and the Great Recession of 2007-09, their median wealth (assets minus debts) fell by 28% from 2001 to 2013… …The gaps in income and wealth between middle- and upper-income households widened substantially in the past three to four decades. As noted, one result is that the share of U.S. aggregate household income held by upper-income households climbed sharply, from 29% in 1970 to 49% in 2014. More recently, upper-income families, which had three times as much wealth as middle-income families in 1983, more than doubled the wealth gap; by 2013, they had seven times as much wealth as middle-income families. (source) It’s getting harder and harder to thrive on a middle-class income The middle class isn’t what it used to be. Once the “American Dream,”middle-class families are struggling for several reasons. Despite their incomes, they owe more and have saved less than ever before. If you can dig through the politically charged introduction and get to the statistics in this NY Mag article, you’ll find the following: The percentage of families with more debt than savings is higher now than at any point since 1962, while the median American family’s net worth is lower than it’s been in nearly a quarter-century… …So, this is what a “good” economy now looks like in the United States: shrinking household wealth; soaring middle-class debt; wage growth that can’t keep pace with the rising costs of housing, healthcare, and higher education; job growth concentrated in part-time positions; widespread retirement insecurity; and more wealth-less households than America has seen for 56 years. (source) Having more debt than savings is called “negative wealth.” One-fifth of American households fall into this category. Of course, $1 trillion in credit-card debt and $1.4 trillion in student loan debt has to take a toll eventually, right? Then there’s the ridiculous cost of healthcare in our country. (I recently had my own bad experience with healthcare costs.) Those who are on the upper end of the middle class are hit with premiums well into the thousands of dollars per month for far less coverage than they had previously. “Health-care spending is growing at an unsustainable rate. Insurance and medical costs are draining the incomes of the middle class—tens of millions of people who earn too much to qualify for government-subsidized coverage, but not so much that they don’t feel the bite of medical billsHealth premiums and out-of-pocket costs wiped out most of the real income gains for a median family from 1999 to 2011, according to an analysis published on the blog of the journal Health Affairs in 2013.” (source) Finally, Americans don’t have much in the way of an emergency fund. A recent study found that a whopping 47% of us would be unable to cover an unexpected bill of only $400. The middle class – and often even the upper middle class – are living paycheck to paycheck, and not always through poor handling of money. Where the great jobs are, folks want to make $300,000-400,000 to live a middle-class lifestyle. Lots of young people go deeply into debt for an education that will (hopefully) land them a job in Silicon Valley, New York City, or some other metropolitan area. After all, that’s where the jobs that start you off at $80,000 a year are, right? Unfortunately, these are also the places in which the cost of living is completely out of reach for those with middle-class incomes, making it so that to be “middle class,” people feel as though they need to earn anywhere from $300,000-400,000 per year. This article pinpoints the actual amount of money you’d need to make in 25 different metropolitan areas to live a middle-class lifestyle. While there’s a big difference between these amounts and the amounts that statistics show are needed, the stats aren’t showing everything. Sam Dogen wrote an article about why you need to earn more: Let me tell you a sad story: In order to comfortably raise a family in an expensive coastal city like San Francisco or New York, you’ve got to make at least $300,000 a year. You can certainly raise a family earning less as many do, but it won’t be easy if your goal is to save for retirement, save for your child’s education, own your own home instead of rent and actually retire by a reasonable age. (source) Here’s the budget he put together. If you read the article and look at his review of the expenses, they aren’t as out of whack as they might sound to those of us who live outside of the major metro areas. While I can’t actually imagine making that kind of money every year, neither can I imagine facing those kinds of expenses. When your base costs are that high, even hardcore frugality can’t save you. What’s a middle-class family to do? It’s essential to watch the trends and be ready if things come tumbling down. Here are the things on which you should focus: Building an emergency fund – you don’t want to be one of those people who can’t handle a $400 emergency, right? Reducing your fixed expenses – this will help you through the rough times Building a stockpile – this will cut your costs to the bare minimum during bad times Paying off debt – this will help you live within your means It’s essential to pay attention to what is going on in the economy. Jose, our writer from Venezuela, wrote of numerous warning signs that should have told him that a financial crisis was drawing near. If you want to keep up to date with what is happening, subscribe to my newsletter here. Finally, maybe it’s time to take a look at the lifestyle for which you yearn. Maybe you need to focus on simplicity. Maybe you don’t need to keep up with the Joneses. Maybe, after some adjustment, you’ll find that you are happier without the stress of competing for that middle-class lifestyle. Figure out your priorities. Would you rather have a big house or travel the world? Would you prefer to put your kids through school debt-free or have a new car every other year? Most of us can’t do both. The only way to be different from those families who are struggling to pay their $24,650 in monthly expenses is to live differently than they do. Being part of the middle class isn’t what it used to be. It doesn’t take a financial expert to see that the US economy, despite the optimism from the White House, is going to continue to hit most of us hard.

Trump says he's been proved '100% right' as Iran's top secret nuclear weapons program is revealed by Netanyahu: Israeli PM presents documents that 'prove Tehran has been hiding its A-bomb ambitions'

Trump said the findings by Isral have confirmed his long-held suspicions about Tehran

Israeli president Benjamin Netanyahu gave a televised address on Monday announcing the revelations

Standing in front of the damning documents, he said: 'Tonight I'm here to tell you one thing: Iran lied'

Senior US administration officials have confirmed the documents are authentic

Later on Monday afternoon, Trump once more attacked the Iran deal as 'horrible'

He's been threatening to pull out for months and has until May 12 to decide whether to pull out of the accord

By Ariel Zilber and Sara Malm for MailOnline and Reuters and Afp and David Martosko, U.s. Political Editor For Dailymail.com Published: 10:09 EDT, 30 April 2018 | Updated: 09:55 EDT, 1 May 2018

Trump says he has been proven '100% right' following Israel's stunning claims that Iran is still running their nuclear program in secret in defiance of their agreement with the West. Israeli president Benjamin Netanyahu gave a televised address on Monday evening during which he presented documents obtained from inside Iran, proving they are still following their A-bomb ambitions under the radar. He said: 'Iran's leaders repeatedly deny ever pursuing nuclear weapons,' said Netanyahu while standing in front of the documents, which senior Trump administration officials have said are authentic. 'Tonight I'm here to tell you one thing: Iran lied.' Just minutes after the shocking announcement, Trump said: 'What's happening today, and what's happened over the last little while, and what we've learned, has really shown that I've been 100 per cent right.' Later on Monday afternoon, Trump once more attacked the Iran deal as 'horrible'. He has until May 12 to decide whether to pull out of the accord. 'In seven years, that deal will have expired and Iran is free to go ahead and create nuclear weapons,' Trump told a joint press conference with his Nigerian counterpart Muhammadu Buhari. 'That is not acceptable,' Trump charged. 'This is an agreement that wasn't approved by too many people. And it's a horrible agreement for the United States." The US president has been threatening for months to pull out of the 2015 deal negotiated between Tehran and six world powers, rejecting it as 'insane' partly because its restrictions on Iran's nuclear activities begin expiring in 2025. Most world powers say the deal is working as intended for now and is the best way to keep Iran from acquiring the bomb. 'I'm not telling you what I'm doing, but a lot of people think they know,' Trump said. 'On or before the 12th, we'll make a decision.' The White House also said on Monday that information released by Israel on Iran's nuclear program provides 'new and compelling details' about Tehran's efforts to develop 'missile-deliverable nuclear weapons.' 'These facts are consistent with what the United States has long known: Iran has a robust, clandestine nuclear weapons program that it has tried and failed to hide from the world and from its own people,' the White House statement said. Iranian state TV said on Monday that Netanyahu's accusations on Tehran's nuclear program was propaganda. 'His remarks was not new...full of baseless accusations... and propaganda against Iran's nuclear work,' state TV said. Numerous other experts claimed all the information contained in the documents had been seen before. The British government, meanwhile, insisted it had 'never been naive about Iran and its nuclear intentions' in the wake of the presentation. Thousands of pages contained evidence that Tehran had a secret nuclear weapons program while insisting to the world its nuclear ambitions were purely peaceful, Netanyahu said. While the lion's share of the briefing focused on what he said was past nuclear work and alleged obfuscation about it by Iran, Netanyahu asserted that such activities had continued after the deal that was meant to curb Iranian capabilities. The premier accused the Islamic Republic of 'brazenly lying' to the United States and Europe by maintaining nuclear materials in a secret location - a violation of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. Israel claims that it obtained the incriminating information within the past 10 days. After the 2015 nuclear deal was signed, the documents were moved to a 'highly secret' location in Tehran, Netanyahu said. While the lion's share of the briefing focused on what he said was past nuclear work and alleged obfuscation about it by Iran, Netanyahu asserted that such activities had continued after the 2015 deal that was meant to curb Iranian capabilities. 'These files conclusively prove that Iran is brazenly lying when it says it never had a nuclear weapons program,' he said. Netanyahu said Israel recently uncovered 55,000 documents and 183 CDs of information from Iran's 'nuclear archives.' Speaking in English, perhaps with an international audience in mind, he says the material is filled with incriminating evidence showing the Iranian program, called 'Project Amad,' was to develop a weapon. Netanyahu's revelations were 'a big lot of nothing' according to David Patrikarakos, an Iranian nuclear politics expert. He said the prime minister's comments 'are entirely political, designed to put pressure on – or given a excuse to – President Trump not to recertify the nuclear deal, which he is due to do in several days. Critically Patrikarakos says that 'Netanyahu has presented little if any evidence that Iran is in breach of the deal, merely that 'past nuclear work' showed evidence of Iranian attempts at a nuclear weapons capability, which is true, and that Iran had been less than transparent in its nuclear dealings. 'All of this is well-known, what he has failed to show is that Iran is in violation of the nuclear deal signed it was signed in 2016. 'It may give Trump the excuse he needs, but it will not wash with the other parties to the deal namely France, Germany, the UK, Russia and China.' Netanyahu wants the deal to fail because he has staked some much political capital on that outcome and wants the US and Iran at loggerheads as it helps Israel geopolitically, said Patrikarakos, author of Nuclear Iran: The Birth of an Atomic State, the first complete history of Iran's nuclear program from it's beginnings in the 1950s to the present day, and war in 140 Characters: How Social Media Is Reshaping Conflict in The 21st Century. While Netanyahu presented the information as new, the details of Project Amad were known to Western governments well before the 2015 nuclear deal, according to The Atlantic. In 2011, the International Atomic Energy Agency published findings about Project Amad, which was shut down by the Iranians in 2003. The French ambassador to Washington, Gerard Araud, tweeted that information about past Iranian nuclear activity was in fact an argument in favor of the nuclear deal, not against it. Trump is to decide by May 12 whether to pull out of the international deal with Iran. Federica Mogherini, the head of the European Union's foreign policy portfolio, said that it appears Netanyahu's presentation did not demonstrate that Iran was violating the nuclear deal. 'What I have seen from the first reports is that Prime Minister Netanyahu has not put into question Iran's compliance with the JCPOA commitments, meaning post-2015 nuclear commitments,' her office said in a statement. 'The JCPOA, the nuclear agreement, is not based on assumptions of good faith or trust - it is based on concrete commitments, verification mechanisms and a very strict monitoring of facts, done by the IAEA. 'The IAEA has published 10 reports, certifying that Iran has fully complied with its commitments.' Faced with mounting pressure, Iran has threatened to resume 20 percent uranium enrichment if the US leaves the deal. Raz Tzimmt, an expert on Israel-Iran relations, said it will be very difficult to persuade Iran to renegotiate. 'I think it will be very difficult if not impossible to persuade the Iranians to renegotiate the deal,' said Tzimmt. 'I mean the perception in Iran is that Iran has already given up some part of its capabilities during the negotiations with P5+1 and the United States. 'So I think it will be almost impossible to believe that under no circumstances, including more economic pressure on Iran, Iran, and especially Supreme Leader Khamenei, is going to agree for a better deal,' said Tzimmt. Tzimmt said if Iran resumes its nuclear activity, Israel will possibly take action, with military options most likely on the table. 'In case Iran breaks out for nuclear weapons and quits the NPT and expels the IAEA inspectors from Iran, that would mean that Iran is not just after resuming its nuclear activity, but about its bomb. 'And then I think we could expect Israel to take more radical actions, including military options against Iran, because Israel has always made it very clear that it will not allow Iran to become a nuclear military state.' Trump said Monday that stunning revelation from Israel about Iran's secret nuclear weapons program shows that he has had Tehran's mullah's pegged. 'What's happening today, and what's happened over the last little while, and what we've learned, has really shown that I've been 100 per cent right,' the president told reporters at the White House. Netanyahu has led calls for Trump to withdraw from the nuclear deal, which was one of Obama's signature foreign policy achievements. Netanyahu said that Iran had lied about not pursuing nuclear weapons and had continued to preserve and expand its nuclear weapons knowledge after signing the JCPOA. 'Iran's leaders repeatedly deny ever pursuing nuclear weapons,' said Netanyahu. 'Tonight I'm here to tell you one thing: Iran lied.' 'After signing the nuclear deal in 2015, Iran intensified its efforts to hide its secret files,' he said. 'In 2017 Iran moved its nuclear weapons files to a highly secret location in Tehran.' Netanyahu said that Iran continued to preserve and expand its nuclear weapons knowledge for future use. His speech follows the visit by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo yesterday, during which the pair discussed Iran and the accord. The Israeli premier has repeatedly called for the accord between world powers and his country's main enemy to either be altered or scrapped. The JCPOA – known outside 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as 'The Iran Deal' – called for the U.S. to relax international sanctions and cut loose $150 billion in frozen Iranian funds and assets, in exchange for Tehran's pledge that it would pare back its nuclear weapons ambitions and limit its ability to enrich uranium and other fissile material. Netanyahu has long criticized the deal and welcomed the Trump administration's pledge to withdraw next month if it is not improved. He has welcomed a pledge by U.S. President Trump to decide on whether to reimpose sanctions on Tehran, putting in peril the 2015 nuclear accord, next month. Pompeo has warned that the United States will withdraw from the agreement 'if we can't fix it'. The Israeli premier has repeatedly called for the accord between world powers and his country's main enemy to either be altered or scrapped. He alleges the agreement does not prevent Iran from eventually obtaining nuclear weapons and says the lifting of sanctions has increased Tehran's ability to finance proxy militants in the Middle East. Most world powers however say the nuclear deal is working as intended for now and is the best way to keep Iran from acquiring the bomb. Before Netanyahu's speech, Iran's foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, said the Israeli leader was 'the boy who can't stop crying wolf [and is] at it again.' Zarif said on Saturday that demands by Trump to change Tehran's nuclear deal with world powers were unacceptable. Trump has said that unless European allies fix the 'terrible flaws' in the Iran nuclear deal by May 12, he will refuse to extend US sanctions relief for oil-producing Iran. Israel is also deeply concerned over Iran's presence in Syria, where it is backing President Bashar al-Assad's Israeli officials have not commented on Monday's overnight airstrike that killed Iranians inside neighboring Syria, but officials have warned Iran against trying to attack Israeli targets. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said this morning that an overnight missile attack in the country's northern region has killed 26 pro-government fighters, mostly Iranians. Th Observatory says the attack appears to have been carried out by Israel and targeted an arms depot for surface-to-surface missiles at a base in northern Syria known as Brigade 47. Tehran has sent thousands of Iran-backed fighters to back President Bashar Assad's forces in the country's seven-year civil war. Earlier on Monday, Syrian TV reported a 'new aggression,' with missiles targeting military outposts in northern Syria. The state-run television reported that the missiles targeted military outposts in the Hama and Aleppo countryside. Iranian Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Monday that his country is keen to develop ties with the rest of the world, which is 'not merely' the United States and European countries. 'I don't believe in cutting ties with the world but relying on the outside of the borders is a mistake within a mistake,' Khamenei was quoted as saying. 'We must certainly be wise, smart and resolute in our relations with the world, but we should also know that the world is not merely America and several European countries. 'The world is big and (we) must have relations with different countries,' he added, according to extracts of a speech he gave in Tehran published on his website. Khamenei is also quoted as blasting the US Treasury Department, denouncing it as an 'economic war chamber against the system of the Islamic republic.' Since taking office in January 2017, Trump has adopted a tough stance against Iran and repeatedly denounced the landmark nuclear deal which Tehran reached with world powers to curb its nuclear program. Trump has said the deal - which Iran signed with Britain, France, China, Russia, the United States and Germany - must be 'fixed' by May 12 or Washington will walk away. Most world powers however say the nuclear deal is working as intended for now and is the best way to keep Iran from acquiring the bomb. During Sunday's speech, Khamenei also accused the United States of waging an 'economic and cultural war' against Iran, according to his website. An image grab taken from the Syrian TV channel, Al-Ekhbariya Al-Souriya, on April 30, 2018 allegedly shows the scene of missile attacks targeting central Syria the previous night Missile strikes on central Syria killed 26 pro-regime fighters, most of them Iranians, a monitor said Monday, in a raid that bore the hallmarks of Tehran's archfoe Israel. The Syrian regime, which denounced a 'fresh aggression' after the strikes, meanwhile continued to flush out armed groups from the capital with more deals to transfer fighters to the country's north. According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group, missile strikes hit two military targets in Aleppo and Hama provinces late Sunday. The strike on Hama province hit a base known as the 47th Brigade where pro-regime fighters are stationed. Both hits destroyed surface-to-surface missiles, the monitor said. 'At least 26 fighters were killed, including four Syrians,' in the Hama strike, said Rami Abdel Rahman, who heads the Britain-based monitoring organiZation. 'The others are foreign fighters, a vast majority of them Iranians,' he told AFP. 'Given the nature of the target, it is likely to have been an Israeli strike.' Israeli Intelligence Minister Yisrael Katz told army radio on Monday morning that he was 'not aware' of the latest strikes. But, he said, 'all the violence and instability in Syria is the result of Iran's attempts to establish a military presence there. Israel will not allow the opening of a northern front in Syria.' Israeli media reported that the security cabinet was due to hold an emergency session later Monday. The latest strikes came amid heightened tensions in Syria after Damascus and its ally Iran accused Israel on April 9 of conducting deadly strikes against a military base in the centre of the country. At least 14 soldiers, including seven Iranians, were killed in the strike on a military base in Homs province. Days later, on April 14, the United States, France and Britain bombarded several Syrian regime military positions in response to a suspected chemical attack on the rebel stronghold of Douma which killed dozens, according to rescue services. Syria remains technically at war with neighbouring Israel, which is concerned at the growing presence of Iranian forces and those of Tehran's Lebanese ally Hezbollah on Syrian territory. Israeli Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman vowed in an interview Thursday to strike at any attempt by Iran to establish a 'military foothold' in Syria. Iran has forces deployed in Syria to support the regime of President Bashar al-Assad, as well as supervising the involvement of several Shiite militia groups it sponsors, some of them from other countries such as Iraq or Afghanistan. There was no immediate comment from Tehran on the Sunday strikes, but the reformist-linked ILNA news agency quoted a security official who did not deny the strike and said any reports on the military situation in Syria should come from Damascus. 'The Syrians must announce the statistics as they are responsible. We are present in this country at the request of the government of Syria,' said Hossein Naghavi Hosseini, spokesman for parliamentary national security and foreign policy commission. The Syrian government has focused its efforts in 2018 on securing the capital Damascus, the heart of which was spared the worst of the seven-year-old conflict but was long surrounded by rebel-held pockets. Backed by massive Russian military support, the regime took full control of the Eastern Ghouta enclave earlier this month. The sprawling semi-rural area east of Damascus had been home to thousands of armed Islamist and jihadist fighters, who were besieged for years but sporadically fired rockets and mortar rounds on the capital. Pro-regime forces are now battling jihadists from the Islamic State group and other armed groups in southern neighbourhoods of Damascus. After days of air strikes and heavy fighting, state media reported late Sunday that those areas would be evacuated under deals similar to those that emptied other enclaves around Damascus in recent weeks. Buses started arriving Monday near Yarmuk, a neighbourhood once home to a Palestinian refugee camp and the main hub of IS forces in southern Damascus, state media reported. The transfer deal does not include IS fighters, but other jihadists from a former Al-Qaeda affiliate who control pockets inside Yarmuk, Abdel Rahman said.

Middle East 15:19 01.05.2018(updated 15:53 01.05.2018) Get short URL 21439

The Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, as well as the Constitution, Law, and Justice Committee originally decided against the proposal, but it was later passed in the Knesset during a second and third reading, Haaretz newspaper reported. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been granted the authority to declare war with only defense minister Avigdor Lieberman's approval in extreme situations, according to Haaretz newspaper. The Knesset approved the amendment 62 to 41, transferring the power to launch a war or significant military operations to the Prime Minister without specifying the makeup of the panel that makes the decision. Israeli opposition lawmakers argued that the law gives too much power to the smaller "security cabinet," describing the legislation as "severely harmful." "I think this is another distraction from Netanyahu's shaky legal situation," Member of Knesset (MK) Eyal Ben-Reuven stated. The controversial law has been approved in light of unfolding tensions between Iran and Israel, as the Israeli Prime Minister has stated that Iran is continually increasing the range of its nuclear-capable missiles, saying that Israel has thousands of documents showing how Tehran allegedly lied to the world after signing the nuclear agreement, proving that Iran's nuclear program had a military dimension, code-named "Amad Project." On July 14, 2015, the EU and the P5+1 group of countries that includes China, Germany, France, Russia, the UK and the US, signed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran nuclear deal, with Tehran. The accord has determined a gradual lifting of anti-Iranian sanctions in exchange for Tehran curbing its nuclear program and enabling inspections to ensure that the nature of the program is peaceful.

Mossad smuggled half a ton of nuclear documents out of Iran - in one night

How did they do it?

By JTA May 1, 2018 15:33

Israel’s Mossad intelligence service broke into the anonymous Tehran building that housed Iran’s secret nuclear files and smuggled half a ton of documents and compact discs back to Israel the same night. The New York Times in an article posted on its website Monday night quoted a senior Israeli official who spoke on condition of anonymity as saying that the Mossad discovered the warehouse in February 2016 and kept the building under surveillance since then. Mossad operatives broke into the building in January, took the original documents, and returned to Israel the same night, the official told the Times. In his nationally televised broadcast, first in English, on Monday night, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the hiding place of the documents. “This is where they kept the atomic archives. Right here. Few Iranians knew where it was, very few, and also a few Israelis,” Netanyahu said. “Now, from the outside, this was an innocent-looking compound. It looks like a dilapidated warehouse. But from the inside, it contained Iran’s secret atomic archives locked in massive files,” he said. On stage with Netanyahu were shelves of binders and a moveable wall of CDs. “And here’s what we got. Fifty-five thousand pages. Another 55,000 files on 183 CDs. Everything you’re about to see, is an exact copy of the original Iranian material,” he said, adding: “You may want to know where are the originals? Well, I can say they’re now in a very safe place.” The unnamed official told the newspaper that Trump was told of the operation to retrieve the documents by Mossad Director Yossi Cohen, when he visited Washington in January. The material was not unveiled until now because the documents had to be analyzed, and translated from Persian, the official said. Netanyahu said during his presentation that the information had been shared with the United States and that “the United States can vouch for its authenticity.” President Donald Trump is set to decide by the middle of next month whether it will remain in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, as the deal is known. In a meeting with reporters in the White House Rose Garden shortly after Netanyahu’s presentation, Trump said that the disclosure “showed that I was 100% right” in criticizing the Iran nuclear deal. “That is just not an acceptable situation,” he also said. Trump declined to say what he would decide on the Iran nuclear deal. “We’ll see what happens. I’m not telling you what I’m doing, but a lot of people think they know. On or before the 12th, we’ll make a decision. That doesn’t mean we won’t negotiate a real agreement,” he said. “The United States is aware of the information just released by Israel and continues to examine it carefully,” the US Press Secretary said in a statement following the presentation.

Scientists calculate radiation dose in bone from victim of Hiroshima bombing: 9.46 grays (Gy) measured in the Hiroshima jawbone – About half that dose, or 5 Gy, is fatal

By Strange Sounds - May 1, 2018

Jawbone from Hiroshima victim reveals the terrifying radiation doses citizens were exposed to after the atomic bomb was dropped in 1945. Scientists have calculated how much radiation the people of Hiroshima may have been subjected to after the 1945 bombing, using tissue from one of the victims for the first time. The study provides unsettling new insight on the effects of the nuclear fallout after the bomb was dropped; while thousands of people were killed in the initial blast, thousands more suffered at the hands of radiation sickness in the months to follow. Using a technique designed for dating fossils and archaeological artifacts, researchers have analyzed a fragment of a jawbone from a Hiroshima victim, uncovering radiation levels nearly double the fatal dose. The measurements showed a dose of roughly 9.46 grays (Gy) in the Hiroshima jawbone – a high dose, according to the team. About half that dose, or 5 Gy, is fatal if the entire body is exposed to it. WHAT HAPPENED IN THE BOMBING OF HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI? The first atomic bomb was dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945 by an American B-29 bomber dubbed the Enola Gay. The 9,000lb uranium-235 bomb exploded 1,900 feet (580 metres) above the ground, killing between 60,000 and 80,000 people instantly, some vanishing instantly from the heat of the vast explosion. Others died as fire ripped through the city and some 135,000 people in total are thought to have perished from radiation sickness. The blast flattened more than six square miles (10 square km) of the city, with fires burning for three days, leaving thousands of survivors burnt and homeless. With major buildings like hospitals destroyed and more than 90 per cent of the city’s doctors and nurses killed in the blast, there was little help available to the injured. Ten years later, the longer-term effects of the bomb were being noticed, including a rise in leukaemia – a blood cancer not included in the study. The cancer was said to disproportionately affect children, with cases appearing two years after the bomb and peaking four to six years later, The IBT reported. The Radiation Effects Research Foundation estimates 46 per cent of leukaemia deaths at the bomb sites from 1950 to 2000 were due to radiation from the bombs, with 1,900 cancer deaths linked to the atomic bomb, in total. Hopefully, there will be no nuclear war in the future!

LOCKHEED MARTIN'S NEW CH-53K HELICOPTER TAKES TO THE SKIES OVER BERLIN

This post was originally published on this site

A front-runner to become Israel’s new heavy-lift helicopter, the CH-53K King Stallion, took to the skies last week making its international flying debut at the Berlin Air Show where it demonstrated its flight capabilities, maneuverability and advanced fly-by-wire technology. Built by Lockheed Martin Sikorsky, the same maker of the Yasur – which has been in use by the Israel Air Force since 1969 – the CH-53K is competing against Boeing Co.’s smaller twin-rotor CH-47 Chinook helicopter for Israel’s business – a competition that pits an expensive next-generation aircraft against a less-expensive global workhorse. With a maximum carrying weight of 36,000 pounds, the CH-53K offers three times the carrying power of its predecessor and has been designed by the company to ensure reliability, low maintenance and enhanced survivability. “I can tell you with confidence that this is not your average helicopter,” Sikorsky president Dan Schultz told reporters, explaining that while the body of the aircraft may look similar to the Yasur, the CH-53K is a “modern aircraft” with digital fly-by-wire avionics, fully integrated flight and navigation displays, composite airframe, aluminum gearboxes and triple redundant systems. “It’s going to be a safer system,” said Col. Hank Vanderborght, a manager of the CH-53K program for the US Marine Corps, which is buying 200 of the helicopters, four of which are to be declared ready for combat use by December 2019. With a cruising speed of 360 kph (223 miles/hr) and a range of 530 miles, the aircraft can be used in a variety of missions, including rescue operations, transport missions, tactical troop lifts as well as support for special operations. “For us in the Marine Corps, we have almost the same size helicopter that is replacing the 53E but this helicopter [CH-53K] can lift three times more in the same ambient conditions and that is a significant step in capabilities,” Vanderborght said. Another main advantage of the aircraft is its aerial refueling capability, which can significantly increase the range of the aircraft, he said. When asked by reporters if that meant opening the possibility to fly to Iran and back, he responded: “Correct, wherever you want to go.” “At the end of the day, during war, if you can’t get the stuff and the people to where it needs to be at the right time at the right place, you are not as effective in the battle-space as you could be,” said Vanderborght. Echoing Vanderborght, CH-53K pilot Lt.-Col. J.C. Morel told The Jerusalem Post that the workload for pilots in the helicopter is “significantly reduced” due to the fly-by-wire avionics. According to Morel, one of the more challenging aspects for pilots is not being able to see, such as during low-level flying or in demanding conditions such as in the desert. “If you look at the No. 1 cause of air crashes it’s usually due to human error,” he said. “With this aircraft almost everything has been offloaded to computers, which are able to fly the aircraft. When it comes down to the critical aspect of landing in the middle of the desert at night in this aircraft, you just press a button and it lands itself.” “Pilots have more time to focus on the mission, to communicate and make decisions,” he added, reducing the possibility of pilot error. According to Schultz, big data analytics is another key feature of the aircraft, which by having a predictive maintenance diagnostic system is able to reduce costs for the customer by identifying issues and notifying maintenance crews when a part needs to be replaced. Schultz said that by not outsourcing the building of its transmissions and rotor blades, the planes and helicopters “are the most reliable and dependable out there,” also boosting the readiness rates of the aircraft over 90%. With Israel needing to replace their 50-year-old Yasur heavy-lift aircraft by 2025, Col. Vanderborght said that the timeline to deliver the CH-53K to Israel – should the aircraft be chosen – is expected to be around 2023-2024. One main issue for the Israeli Air Force about the CH-53K is the high cost, as it averages a unit purchase price of $87 million, which, even with non-recurring costs, can even increase across the helicopter’s life cycle. This is more than double the cost of the Chinook, which costs $38.5m. per aircraft. But, according to Schultz, with Germany interested in buying 45 to 60 of the CH-53K, the procurement cost for Israel could be reduced. The Chinook is an advanced and versatile multi-role and multi-mission helicopter that features a full digital management system in the cockpit. In service in 20 different countries, it is a twin-engine, tandem rotor heavy-lift helicopter used mainly for troop transport, artillery placement and battlefield resupply. It has a cruising speed of 291 kph and mission range of 370.4 km. Boeing’s Chinook was also on display at the Berlin Air Show and according to Steve Barlage, the senior manager for global sales – vertical lift division, the Chinook is “the right answer” for Israeli military requirements. “It is a modern aircraft with proven reliability, low cost and affordability when buying the aircraft and the life-cycle costs are significantly lower when compared to other aircraft in its class,” he said. According to Barlage, Boeing is currently producing three to four aircraft per month and if chosen by Israel, the IAF can have the Chinook operational within months. “They can place the order and have the aircraft operational and ready to go at a moment’s notice,” he said.

Russians use 'shooting robot' to help kill 11 suspected terrorists as it goes on offensive against jihadists ahead of World Cup

WARNING DISTRESSING CONTENT: Marksmen pounded a house with bullets from an armoured vehicle and used a 'shooting robot' to slay alleged terrorists in the Islamic region of Dagestan

ByWill Stewart 11:07, 1 MAY 2018Updated11:09, 1 MAY 2018

Russian special forces have used a 'shooting robot' to kill suspected jihadist sleeper cells ahead of the World Cup. A total of 11 alleged terrorists were killed in the tinderbox Islamic region of Dagestan over several days, where officers found guns, a grenade launcher and other criminal weaponry. In one incident Vladimir Putin ’s law enforcement pounded a house with bullets from an armoured vehicle. Gruesome pictures show the bullet-ridden bodies of terror suspects on the ground, with their weapons next to them. Six men were shown in pictures revealed by the investigative authorities. A video and audio recordings from the robot revealed the voices of the rebels shouting ‘Allah Akbar’, followed by an explosion, it was reported. They were claimed to have waived a jihadist flag. “Guns, bullets, knives and grenades were discovered at the scene,” said a statement from the Russian Investigative Committee, which probes serious crime. A hand-made bomb was found equal in power to 5 kilograms of TNT. The house went up in flames. One of the dead men was named as Alexander Svistak, from Nefteyugansk in Siberia. In another operation two alleged members of an armed underground unit were killed in a forest in Derbent district. "A grenade launcher, an assault rifle, cartridges, and a variety of criminal gear were found at the scene of the fight,” said a law enforcement source. Separately, three “rebels” with “links to the underground radical Islamic movement” were stopped in a sedan car in Derbent. Special forces asked for their documents and the “terrorists took out their guns and opened fire,” reported the Investigative Committee. “Police shot back and all the attackers were liquidated at the scene. “No police or civilians were injured during the incident.” Senior Dagestan Interior Ministry official Sergei Karpov said: ”The militants eliminated in Derbent and the (surrounding) district were members of co-called sleeper cells.”

The Fuse On The 'Powder Keg Of The Planet' Has Been Lit And Our World Set Upon A Collision Course With Armageddon

- Rapidly Unfolding Events In The Middle East Could Unleash 'Fire And Brimstone'

By Pastor Dick Carmack - All News Pipeline April 30, 2018

To Abram God said, Ge 13:15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. He did the same thing again in May of 1948 indicating the promises made so long ago are still in effect. God doesn’t change His mind. The “second planting” was 70 years ago May 2018. …in both instances He declaredThis is My land, I give it to thee and whosoever divides it, I will divide.” That of course is a paraphrase. But He did say it, just in different words. Here is an exact quote. Joe 3:2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and PARTED MY LAND. Ever since Abram the nations have been trying to divide Israel away from the land the Almighty gave them so they can take it for themselves, but every time they try the Jews just get stronger. Israel is the linchpin of the world. God made it that way. If Israel comes apart so does mankind and those who fail to study history are doomed to repeat its mistakes. Because of God’s gift to His chosen people and because of the world’s attempt to negate those promises the world is on a collision course with a famous, climactic war called Armageddon. Meanwhile anti-Semitism is building all over the world. Many books have been written and dozens more await publication detailing the world’s hatred of Israel because they instinctively know, even if they haven’t been told, God is working through that nation. Even Angela Merkel acknowledged that fact last week even though she is the driving force behind the forced Islamization of Europe. After a 2000 year hiatus the Jews came back to their land in May of 1948. That was seventy years ago. Seventy is the ten times multiple of the complete number, seven. SO WHY DOES THE WORLD HATE THE JEWS? God chose Abram (Abraham) because God chose Abram …and through him built a nation, brought the Prophets, the Bible, Jesus Christ and salvation to all who believe. “Nobody can successfully argue with God. Instead they attack Him through His people.” Ga 3:8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. “In Saudi Arabia (our now friend but still the deadly enemy of Israel) public beheadings before huge crowds, take place in "chop-chop square." Dave Hunt says "Floggings (record 4,000 in public in Saudi Arabia), & beheading victims are taken to a public square, blindfolded, forced to kneel, and beheaded before cheering onlookers." “From 1948 to 1973 there were 80 revolutions in Islam, 30 of them successful. Amputation of limbs is used extensively for control, Christ says discipline, Allah says mutilate and kill. “Muhammad married Aisha, (his son-in-law's daughter) when she was six, consummated the marriage when she was nine and still playing with dolls. “When it’s totaled up, Islam makes Hitler look like an amateur when it comes to killed Jews. At Sivas, 4,000 Christians were also buried alive; at Tus there were 10,000 victims. Historians estimate the number of dead at Saray to be 100,000; at Baghdad 90,000, at Isfahan 70,000, all a tiny fraction of the total.” Hunt: "This time the invasion is not only with armies but with immigrants. As avowed Muslims, building their mosques and keeping themselves aloof from neighbors through Arabic/Islamic customs and religion, this new breed knows that Islam must inevitably conquer the world. If they fail, Muhammad was a false prophet and Allah a false deity which no Muslim can admit without being marked for the death penalty prescribed for apostasy." In Deut 28, God put before His people a choice, OBEY ME and be blessed, disobey and suffer the punishment. They chose to rebel. God has used both Hitler and Islam plus millions of gentiles and thousands of Christians as his weapon for punishment. For this rebellion of the Jews (Deut 28), they were scattered over the world, their country, their state was dismantled, their capitol, Jerusalem was burned, the temple was taken down to the last brick. As Satan rejoiced and danced, clapping his hands and howling with joy, he thought he had won. He had forgotten the Garden and the prophecy that the seed of the woman would bruise his head. For over 1900 years the Chosen People of God have been hounded, persecuted and butchered, not because of their actions but because Satan inspired the world to kill every last Jew. GET THIS: If the Jews were all killed, the promised State of Israel could not have been reborn, the prophecies could not be fulfilled, Christ would not return, God would be a liar and would have lost the war because His Word is His Reputation. Repeat all that and think about it. Because the devil said, Isaiah 14: 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. But God said, 15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. Satan knows the Scriptures, but like people who believe in “replacement theology,” he skips over the verses he doesn't like and concentrates on others. Today, for show, the Islamic countries appear to have disagreements, but they're just family squabbles, at the bottom....The Koran is worshipped, they behead all those who convert out, and they won't allow a Jew to walk in Saudi Arabia. The Iranians, the Turks and the Syrians collaborate with the Lebanese and the Saudis collaborate with the Jordanians and the Egyptians, in short... ISLAM. And they do the bidding of their master, Satan. Recently we have seen Saudi Arabia supposedly agreeing with Israel on several issues. That will change. If it doesn’t Saudi leaders will have their turn in “chop-chop square” presided over by Iran’s Ayatollah or some other Islamic “leader.” Satan calls himself “Allah” and works tirelessly to destroy the Jews. Unfortunately, many churches in America help in this effort by preaching the Church is now the Chosen People, thus furthering the purposes of the Great Deceiver. So when we see the wars in the Middle East, when we see the Alignment of Nations leading up to the Gog-Magog (next Middle-East) War, when we see Armageddon building, we can rest secure in the fact that Islam has already lost the coming wars, they just figured out yet they’re already dead. GOD IS IN CONTROL The Muslims are merely expendable tools of the god they call Allah but who is actually Satan. When Hezbollah or Hamas attacks, Satan is prodding them on. Their sidekicks, the Globalists will burn right along with them. When America, Britain and France’s leaders push for the "Roadmap to Peace," or whatever the latest contrived mantra is, Satan’s calling the shots. When the madman of Iran pushes the button to bring about atomic war and chaos to pave the road for his "Mahdi" Satan jumps up and down with joy. The Jews are the wife of God (read Hosea), the Church is the Bride of Christ, together they are ONE (Eph 2, Rom 11) and together (as One) they will one day be joined to their husband and father. It’s already been written down. God has already won, the Son has come down from the Cross, Satan has already been cast into the pit.

Report: Iran expected to attack Israel following Lebanon’s May 6 election

Following the alleged Israeli airstrikes in Syria last night, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said that his country is more committed than ever to eradicating terrorists from his country. Meanwhile, an official in an alliance that includes Syria and its regional allies told the New York Times that Iran will likely attack Israel after the Lebanese parliamentary election in May.

Apr 30, 2018, 4:00PM Becca Noy

On Monday, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad claimed that the latest airstrikes in Syria constitute an escalation in hostility toward Syria. In the airstrikes, several sites in the Hama and Aleppo areas were destroyed. Pro-Assad media outlets and Hezbollah have accused Israel of carrying out the airstrikes. “The entire region is in a stage where the political maps are being redrawn,” Assad said during a meeting with an Iranian lawmaker, according to Hadashot news. “The incorporation of other countries in the phase of direct aggression [against Syria] after their plans failed only increases the determination of the Syrians to eradicate all forms of terrorism.” Meanwhile, the New York Times reported that more than 200 missiles were destroyed in last night’s attack, quoting an unnamed official from a regional alliance that includes Iran, Syria and Hezbollah. In addition, the official said that 11 Iranians were among the 16 people who were killed. The official added that Tehran will likely retaliate against Israel. However, he said that the counterattack would not take place before the May 6 election in Lebanon.

Iran Leader To Israel: We Will Strike You in Retaliation

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said on Monday Tehran will respond to the strikes against its facilities in Syria. "Now for every your strike you will get retaliatory strikes," Khamenei said. The Supreme Leader warned that "the era when after delivering strikes the adversary managed to avoid a response is over." The statement was a response to a missile strike on positions of the Syrian army and armed units of Shia militias fighting alongside with Damascus. A Syrian military source earlier told the SANA news agency that the strikes were carried out overnight to Monday against the outskirts of Hama and Aleppo. According to Sky News Arabiya TV, the strike destroyed a large depot with Iranian weapons 10 km to the west of Hama (220 km from Damascus). The report said there were deaths among the Syrian forces and Iranian military advisers. Full coverage of the attack was done LIVE by this web site. That coverage can be read HERE.

Israel is stomping on Iran for its alleged secret nuclear program — and it could bring one of the worst wars the Middle East has ever seen

Alex Lockie Apr. 30, 2018, 2:39 PM

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday said Israeli intelligence had obtained a trove of "secret" documents outlining a clandestine Iranian nuclear program, and he accused Tehran of cheating on the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. Experts say a strike in Syria on Sunday that is believed to have killed Iranians was most likely carried out by Israel in a marked escalation of military conflict. Israel appears to have been punishing Iran and walking all over Syria as the US expresses support for Jerusalem. The result, experts say, could be a massive war breaking out across a region already ravaged by conflict. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday said Israeli intelligence had obtained a trove of "secret" documents outlining a clandestine nuclear program in Iran. On Sunday, Syria got rocked by a missile attack that appeared to ignite a munitions depot hard enough to register as a 2.6 magnitude earthquake and is believed to have killed dozens of Iranians. Experts say the strike was most likely carried out by Israel. Though Tehran has denied that Iranians died in the strike, a more aggressive posture toward Iran by Israel could bring about a major clash that experts say might lead to the biggest war the Middle East has ever seen. The perpetrator of Sunday's attack hasn't been confirmed. Israel rarely takes credit for strikes within Syria, though it maintains that it will strike at any Iranian activity there that it deems a threat. With an estimated 20,000 to 70,000 Shiite Iranian-aligned fighters and tens of thousands of rockets in Syria, that's a lot of activity for Israel to monitor. Israel's air force appears to be repeatedly battering Iran and Syria Jonathan Schanzer, an expert on Iran and Syria at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, says Israel is picking up the pace of strikes and moves against Iran — and staring down the barrel of a massive confrontation. "For some time, it really did look like the Israelis were holding back," Schanzer told Business Insider. "They seemed reticent to engage. They didn't want to expose themselves in the skies over Syria." But after an air battle in February among Israeli, Syrian, and Iranian forces — in which Israel said it downed an Iranian drone and much of Syria's air defenses but lost an F-16 fighter jet— Israel appears to be going much harder. Israeli forces "appear to have broken a seal of sorts," Schanzer said, adding that Israel may see a "window" as Syria's air defenses are vulnerable. Both Iranian and Israeli sources cited in recent news reports have predicted retaliation to the strike on Sunday. But before any such answer could be made, Israel dropped what it characterized as a massive cache of dirt on Iran.  'A psychological operation' Netanyahu said at a press conference on Monday that Israeli intelligence had about 100,000 documents, videos, and photographs showing that Iran had lied about its nuclear ambitions, and he accused it of cheating on the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers. Schanzer said: "Spies steal documents all the time, but this was a huge cache. And usually, spy agencies keep it quiet after the intelligence is lifted. Not so with the Israelis — they are broadcasting this, making it as much a psychological operation as a revelation about Iran's nuclear mendacity." Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has signaled the US is revisiting the Iran nuclear deal. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Sunday that Trump would withdraw from the 2015 deal "if we can't fix it" and assured Netanyahu that the US was "deeply concerned about Iran's dangerous escalation of threats to Israel and the region and Iran's ambition to dominate the Middle East." "The United States is with Israel in this fight, and we strongly support Israel's sovereign right to defend itself," Pompeo added. Iran's ability to retaliate against Israel is limited. Diplomatically, Iran doesn't have much leverage. Though Iran is allied with Russia, Russian air defenses in Syria seem uninterested in protecting Iranian targets from suspected Israeli strikes. Iran's main leverage over Israel is its influence with Hamas, a Palestinian group active in the already boiling Gaza Strip on Israel's border, and its nearby fighters and rocket stockpiles. "There are things that Iran can do very quickly to make things miserable for the Israelis," Schanzer said. With Israel on the sidelines of the civil war in Syria, where over 70 countries have bombed or contributed to bombing efforts, the feud heating up between Jerusalem and Tehran could erupt into a fight that could rock the Middle East.

WATCH: Netanyahu unveils secret Iranian nuclear program

"Iran's leaders repeatedly deny ever pursuing nuclear weapons," said Netanyahu. "Tonight I'm here to tell you one thing: Iran lied."

By Tovah Lazaroff, Michael Wilner April 30, 2018 17:32

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu unveiled a massive cache of secret documents, obtained in an exceptional Israeli intelligence operation this year, showing that Iran had developed a secret nuclear weapons program and that it lied when it claimed otherwise. “Iran lied big time,” Netanyahu said at a dramatic press conference on Monday night in Tel Aviv that involved props and a slide show. Netanyahu held a microphone and walked back and forth on the stage as if conducting a class. To catch international attention, Netanyahu spoke in English as he described a massive Israeli intelligence coup by which some 100,000 documents – weighing around half a ton – were brought from Tehran to the Jewish state. “In 2017, Iran moved its nuclear-weapons files to the Shorabad district in southern Tehran. Few Iranians knew where it was, very few, and also a few Israelis,” Netanyahu said. “From the outside the vault looked like a dilapidated warehouse. It contained Iran’s secret atomic archives locked in massive files.” “A few weeks ago, in a great intelligence achievement, Israel obtained half a ton of the material inside these vaults,” Netanyahu said. He explained that these included 55,000 pages of documents and another 55,000 files on 183 CDs. The documents focused on the secret Iranian nuclear program that was developed from 1999 to 2003 called Project Amad. When Iran entered the 2015 nuclear deal, it denied that such a program existed. Netanyahu made the presentation as part of his continued campaign against the deal. He said the documents proved that the deal itself was based on falsehoods and that Iran continued with its nuclear program after the deal was signed. He spoke less than two weeks before the May 12 deadline that US President Donald Trump had set to decide whether or not to scrap the deal, which the US signed along with five other world powers: Russia, Germany, China, the UK and France. Meanwhile, the Knesset gave the power to declare war to the security cabinet, instead of the wider cabinet. Netanyahu and Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked have been pushing for the passage of the bill. IN WASHINGTON, Trump lauded Netanyahu’s presentation. “I don’t know if everybody has seen it, but I got to see a little bit of it, and that is just not an acceptable situation,” he said, referring to the nuclear deal. “So we’ll see what happens, Trump said. “I’m not telling you what I’m doing. But a lot of people think they know, and on or before the 12th we’ll make a decision. That doesn’t mean we won’t negotiate a real agreement. It’s a horrible agreement for the US.” Israel had known for years that Iran had a secret nuclear weapons program from 1999 to 2003 called Project Amad, Netanyahu said. “We can now prove that Project Amad was a comprehensive program to design, build and test nuclear weapons,” Netanyahu said. “Iran is secretly storing Project Amad material to use at a time of its choice to develop nuclear weapons.” The project’s mission statement was to “design, product and test five warheads, each with 10-kiloton TNT yield for integration on a missile. You do not have to read Farsi to see ‘10 kiloton’ here,” he said. “That is like five Hiroshima bombs to be put on ballistic missiles,” Netanyahu said. He showed a spread sheet that spoke of yellowcake production, centrifuge enrichment process, warhead project, simulation project and tests. “Project Amad had the five key elements of a nuclear weapons program,” said Netanyahu. This included designs for enriched uranium as well as the development of nuclear cores and photographs of a secret underground facility to produce these cores. Israel found photographs of a system to build a nuclear implosion system and a map with five key testing sites in eastern Iran, Netanyahu said. “We have many more such documents,” said Netanyahu. There were also documents that showed how to integrate nuclear warheads on missiles, including for Shahab-3 missiles. “Here is the warhead, here is the bomb,” said Netanyahu, pointing to different points on a diagram. Iran is continually expanding the range of its nuclear-capable missiles and can reach Riyadh, Tel Aviv and Moscow. “But they are working on far greater ranges,” he said. “These files conclusively prove that Iran is brazenly lying when it said it never had a nuclear weapons program,” Netanyahu said. In 2003, Iran was forced to shelve Project Amad, but not its nuclear ambitions. It split its program into an overt program and a covert one that continued the nuclear work under the title of scientific knowhow development, Netanyahu said. It continued this work in a series of organizations and in 2018 it is carried out by SPND, an organization inside Iran’s Defense Ministry led by the same person who led Project Amad – Dr. Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, Netanyahu said. Many of SPND’s key personnel worked with Fakhrizadeh on Project Amad, Netanyahu said. The files Israel uncovered also dealt with the Fordow uranium enrichment facility, which Netanyahu said was designed from the start to be part of Project Amad. “You will not be surprised that Iran insisted on keeping Fordow and the nuclear deal enabled it to do it. But Iran was required by the International Atomic Energy Agency to come clean about its nuclear program. “This was an explicit condition for implementing the nuclear deal. In December 2015 the IAEA published its final assessment of the military aspects of Iran’s nuclear program. This was Iran’s chance to fully come clean to the IAEA. They could tell the truth,” Netanyahu said. But instead, Iran denied the existence of a coordinated program and specifically denied the existence of the Amad plan, Netanyahu said. He also showed photographic evidence that Iran conducted metallurgical work specifically designed for a nuclear device. “This is just a fraction of the total material that we have,” Netanyahu said. One has to ask, he said, “Why would a terrorist regime hide and meticulously catalogue its secret files if not to use it at a later date?” “Iran lied about never having a nuclear weapons program, it continued to preserve and expand its nuclear weapons knowhow for future use,” Netanyahu said. He played a tape of Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif stating that Iran had never had a nuclear weapons program. “Yes you did,” Netanyahu said. “And the atomic archive proves it.” “In a few days’ time, Trump will make a decision of what to do with the nuclear deal. I am sure he will do the right thing for the US, for Israel and for the peace of the world,” he said. FOR HIS PART, the US president acknowledged growing expectations that he will pull out of the accord by May 12. If the European powers fail to come up with “substantial” fixes to some of the agreement’s most controversial provisions, Trump says he will allow for nuclear sanctions to snap back into place, effectively withdrawing the US from the 2015 agreement by default. Trump said scrapping the non-proliferation agreement would send “the right message” to North Korea in upcoming negotiations over its own nuclear work, given “new information” that had come to light on Monday. But if Trump is indeed preparing for a withdrawal next month, not all of his cabinet members are yet on board. Asked on Monday after Netanyahu’s speech whether he is satisfied the JCPOA can handle incidents of Iranian cheating, James Mattis, the US defense secretary, said “yes.” Mattis met with his Israeli counterpart, Avigdor Liberman, last week in Washington, primarily on Iran policy, the two departments said. The president also claimed the current deal “frees” Iran to develop nuclear weapons in seven years. The letter of the agreement commits Iran never to construct nuclear weapons – a pledge it originally made in joining the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty in the 1970s. But Netanyahu’s point was that Iran’s commitments were based on lies, raising questions over whether their weapons program had ever ceased and over what sort of agreement with Iran would ever be considered of good faith. The deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, put caps on Tehran’s enrichment of uranium that phase out between 10 and 15 years. As those “sunset clauses” are reached, Iran will be allowed to grow the size and efficiency of its program, installing advanced models of uranium-enriching centrifuges in place of decades-old technology, in greater numbers and at more facilities. That will shrink the “breakout time” Iran would need to develop fissile material for nuclear bombs, should it make the political decision to proceed. Trump wants a deal that will grant UN inspectors snap access to Iran’s military facilities, where much of their past nuclear weapons work took place; an end to their program on ballistic missiles, designed to deliver nuclear warheads; a permanent extension of the “sunset clauses”; and commitments from world powers to thwart Iran’s military ambitions across the Middle East. NETANYAHU RECEIVED praise from coalition and opposition politicians after his presentation of Iran’s nuclear violations. Deputy Minister Michael Oren (Kulanu) said Netanyahu presented impressive intelligence accomplishments for Israel. He said the international community must demand unlimited oversight over Iran’s nuclear program, including in closed military sites and prevent the development of Iranian ballistic missiles. Former defense minister Amir Peretz (Zionist Union) said the evidence Netanyahu presented proved that Iran is obsessively seeking nuclear weapons. He said Israel must demand more inspections of Iran’s nuclear sites, the maintenance of Israel’s qualitative military edge, and immediately work to fix security flaws in the Israeli home front. But Joint List MK Dov Henin called Netanyahu’s presentation an election speech. “What were all of those empty binders, disks and English for?” Henin asked. “He merely warmed old noodles that were cooked years before the nuclear deal was signed. A leader facing corruption charges was trying to persuade another leader facing corruption charges to inflame a conflagration whose price would be paid by the people who live here.” Iran’s foreign minister said Israel’s accusations were “old allegations” that had been dealt with by the United Nations nuclear watchdog in the past. “Pres. Trump is jumping on a rehash of old allegations already dealt with by the IAEA to “nix” the deal. How convenient. Coordinated timing of alleged intelligence revelations by the boy who cries wolf just days before May 12. But Trump’s impetuousness to celebrate blew the cover,” Zarif tweeted. Iranian state TV said Netanyahu’s accusations were propaganda. “His remarks were not new... full of baseless accusations... and propaganda against Iran’s nuclear work,” state TV said. Netanyahu spoke to Trump by telephone on Sunday and met in Tel Aviv with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Prior to the presentation, the security cabinet met. On Monday, he spoke with French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel about the cache of documents and promised to send professional teams to their countries to explain the material. Netanyahu also held a conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin and he plans to update the British and Chinese leaders as soon as possible. Over on Capitol Hill, response to the presentation was muted. Senator Bob Corker, the Republican from Tennessee who serves as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and who drafted the 2015 law that provides Congress with review powers over the nuclear deal, said Netanyahu revealed “nothing new” that was not known prior to the conclusion of the agreement. Gil Hoffman and Reuters contributed to this report.

Instead of Keeping $100 Bill, Little Boy Searches for Rightful Owner: a Senior Living on Fixed Income

By McKinley Corbley - Apr 30, 2018

Jaron Johnson may only be 8 years old, but he is already well on his way to being an upstanding citizen after his compassionate display of integrity last week. The youngster was out running errands with his mom when he found a $100 bill in the parking lot of a Walmart in Pineville, Louisiana. “He was a few steps behind me and said, ‘Mom, look what I have in my pocket,’ and he said, ‘Can we turn it in to Walmart and give it to the rightful owner?’” Jaron’s mom Jodie told Inside Edition. Jodie was aware of how an employee could simply pocket the money for themselves, so she told Jaron that they would go home and work out how to return the money the following day. LOOK: Photo of Young Athletes Paying Respect to a Funeral is Restoring People’s Faith in Humanity The next day, Jaron told his mom to call Walmart and ask if anyone had reported the missing money. Jodie then called the store and left her phone number with the clerk. She did not, however, mention exactly what the missing property was. Later that same day, she received a call from the daughter of James Grice: an 86-year-old man who had lost the $100 while he was shopping.

NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER, THURSDAY, MAY 3, 2018

May 1, 2018 | By National Day of Prayer

Thursday, May 3, 2018 is the National Day of Prayer. We urge you to attend an observance and/or watch the Livestream and pray in unity and agreement with hundreds of thousands of believers across the country who will be praying the official prayer. I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought. (1 Corinthians 1:10) While Thursday, May 3, is our National Day of Prayer, we must be vigilant to pray for America consistently and even daily. These are our four major prayer priorities for America in the month of May. Oh, wouldn’t it be incredible if millions of Americans could unite in prayer this month for the Lord to move in these four major areas in America? Tell your friends, share these prayer points with them, with pastors, church leaders, business and educational leaders. Let’s join in clear agreement, visible union, and extraordinary prayer for these priorities during May. ASK GOD TO BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord—the people He has chosen to be His own possession!” Psalm 33:12 Ask God to bless America mercifully and give favor to the United States of America. Ask God to bless America spiritually in a new and fresh way and move us to return to the Lord our God. Ask God to bless America by raising up godly leaders in all areas of our nation: locally, regionally, statewide, and nationally. Ask God to bless America economically so that all people in our nation will be blessed and so we can be a blessing to the entire world. Ask God to bless America by securing our nation from all evil and harm from within our nation and from outside; please Lord, continue to bring resolve in the North Korea issue. PRAY FOR UNITY IN AMERICA “Making every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.” Ephesians 4:3 The present spiritual crisis in America is calling us to pray for and take all necessary actions to come together as a nation. God is the only One who can bring unity, harmony, and oneness in America; therefore, we look only to Him in prayer. Call upon God to empower us to make every effort to live in unity, call for unity, and continually forward unity in America. PRAY FOR THE CENTERS OF INFLUENCE IN AMERICA “First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone, for kings and all those who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.” 1 Timothy 2:1-2 Pray for the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the United States government. Pray for America’s military, its leaders, and all personnel to be protected by God, and for the courage to depend upon God. Pray for the members of our media in America to be life-giving truth bearers and unity contributors. Pray for America’s businesses to have leaders of integrity, be creators of economic blessing, and givers to the community. Pray for America’s centers of education to be truth-centered, excellence-driven, and bearers of opportunities. Pray for the churches of America to be gospel-centered in message, disciple-makers in mission, and Spirit-empowered to unity. Pray for the families in America to return to the biblical model, reconcile with one another, and be restored to love and unity. ASK GOD FOR THE NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER ON THURSDAY, MAY 3, TO BECOME A CATALYTIC SPIRITUAL MOVEMENT ACROSS AMERICA “They all were continually united in prayer.” Acts 1:14 Lord, we ask You to unify Your Church in America, so the Church can call our nation to unity on the National Day of Prayer and in the future. Lord, we ask You to move each of us to make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit personally in our families, churches, workplaces, and communities. Lord, we ask You to empower our National Day of Prayer volunteers who will lead and serve in thousands upon thousands of observances on May 3. Lord, we ask You to use and anoint Dr. Ronnie Floyd, the President of the National Day of Prayer Task Force, as he provides leadership the entire week; but, most importantly the National Observance of the National Day of Prayer in historic Statuary Hall in the US Capitol Building in Washington, DC, on Thursday, May 3, at 7:30 p.m. EDT. Lord, we ask You give to Dr. Floyd the exact words needed for every media interview related to the National Day of Prayer. Lord, we ask You to use the thousands upon thousands of observances of the National Day of Prayer to be a catalytic spiritual movement across America, ushering in the revival of the Church and the next Great Spiritual Awakening in America.

50 underage girls in four states mailed creepy packages at school, putting parents, FBI on alert

By Ryan Gaydos | Fox News

Creepy, unsolicited packages sent to two girls at an Alabama elementary school have prompted a probe to find out who's behind more than 50 similar packages ordered for underage girls in at least three other states, the FBI said. Alabama school officials warned parents about the packages Sunday after the two Phoenix City girls received the parcels over the course of the last week, the Covington County District Attorney’s Office said. The packages contained food and a letter signed “Atur Bhuck of Santa Fe, NM.,” authorities said. "Each order included the name of the girl and the address of the elementary school she attends," the district attorney’s office said in a Facebook post. "The same IP address has also appeared on websites discussing girls' underwear and types of music to listen to when he visits his pen pal in Phenix City." The person claimed he was 14 years old, mentally disabled and had been bullied. WBTV reported the person asked the girls to reply to the packages at two email addresses – atur.bhuck@gmail.com or atur.bhuck@aol.com. The IP addresses of the Gmail account appeared to originate from Houston, according to the district attorney’s office. Similar packages were ordered for underage girls in Alabama, South Carolina and Virginia, the FBI said. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Why Europe is afraid of the New Silk Roads

Many EU countries are concerned about one-way traffic along the new trade routes Beijing is trying to set up to Europe

By Pepe Escobar April 25, 2018 1:04 PM (UTC+8)

It came out as a sort of minor scandal – considering the ’24/7 post-truth news cycle.’ Of the 28 EU ambassadors in Beijing, 27, with the exception of Hungary’s, signed an internal report criticizing the New Silk Roads as a non-transparent threat to free trade, allegedly favoring unfair competition by Chinese conglomerates. The report was first leaked to respected German business newspaper Handelsblatt. EU diplomats in Brussels confirmed its existence to Asia Times. Then the Chinese Foreign Ministry calmed the turbulence, saying that Brussels had explained what this was all about. In fact, it’s all about nuances. Anyone familiar with how dysfunctional Eurocrat Brussels is knows there’s no EU common policy towards China – or Russia for that matter. The internal report does mention how China, via the New Silk Roads, or Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), is “pursuing domestic political goals like the reduction of surplus capacity, the creation of new export markets and safeguarding access to raw materials.” That’s a self-evident Chinese rationale inbuilt in BRI from the start – and Beijing never denied it. After all, the concept itself was first floated inside the Ministry of Commerce, way before the official announcements by President Xi Jinping in Astana and Jakarta in 2013. Perceptions of the BRI vary across myriad latitudes. Central and Eastern Europe are mostly enthusiastic – as BRI is synonymous with badly needed infrastructure projects. So are Greece and Italy, as Asia Times reported. Northern ports such as Hamburg and Rotterdam are actually configured as BRI terminals. Spain is very much interested in the days when the Yiwu to Madrid cargo train will move to high-speed rail. Essentially, it all boils down to companies from specific EU nations deciding their degree of integration with what Raymond Yeung, ANZ’s chief economist for greater China, describes as “the biggest economic experiment in modern history.” Watch those Chinese engineers The case of France is emblematic. President Emmanuel Macron – now on a massive geopolitical PR offensive to crown himself the unofficial King of Europe – actually praised the BRI when he visited China earlier this year. But nuance, once again, applies: “After all, the ancient Silk Roads were never only Chinese,” Macron said in Xian at the Daming Palace, the residence of the Ancient Silk Road stalwart Tang dynasty for more than two centuries. “These roads”, added Macron, “cannot be those of a new hegemony, which would transform those that they cross into vassals.” So Macron was already prepositioning himself to steer EU-China relations away and beyond the number one EU grievance; how the Chinese play the foreign trade/investment game. Macron has been very vocal in prodding the European Commission bureaucracy to toughen anti-dumping rules against Chinese steel imports and forcing EU-wide screening of takeovers in strategic sectors, especially from China. In parallel, virtually every EU nation – not only France – wants more access to the Chinese market. As much as Macron has touted an optimistic mantra – “Europe is back” – in terms of EU competitiveness, that barely masks the primordial European fear; the fact that it’s China that may be getting too competitive. The BRI, for Beijing, is all about geopolitical but most of all geo-economic projection – including the promotion of new global standards and norms that may not be exactly those practiced by the EU. And that brings us to the heart of the matter, not enounced by the leaked internal report; the intersection between BRI and Made in China: 2025. Beijing is aiming to become a global high-tech leader in less than seven years. Made in China: 2025 identified 10 sectors – including AI, robotics, aerospace, green cars and shipping and shipbuilding – as priorities. China-Germany bilateral trade, at 187 billion euros last year, is way bigger than China-France and China-UK, at 70 billion euros each. And yes, Berlin is worried. Made in China: 2025 represents a significant “threat” to top quality German companies producing high-end manufacturing goods. Those days may be over when China bought astonishing amounts of German machinery – plus the inevitable BMWs and Audis. The new normal points to an army of Chinese companies moving up the value-added chain at breakneck speed. As Bauer CEO Thomas Bauer told Reuters: “(Rivalry with China) will not be a contest against copiers. It will be one against innovative engineers.” Navigating the blue economy The report Blue China; Navigating the Maritime Silk Road to Europe usefully expands the scope of the debate, pointing to how the development of the Maritime Silk Road may be even more crucial than overland connectivity corridors. The report acknowledges how the Maritime Silk Road already affects the EU in terms of maritime trade and shipbuilding, and asks some questions about the increasing global presence of the PLA Navy. It recommends that the EU “should emulate China’s blue economy as an engine of growth and wealth, and encourage innovation to respond to well-funded Chinese industrial and R&D policies.” The “blue economy” features heavily in Made in China: 2025 – especially in terms of innovation in port infrastructure and shipping. The rationale, from Beijing’s point of view, is always about maritime trade cost cutting – but that, of course, will always depend on whether oil prices will keep going up, as OPEC and Russia are keen. As it stands, the EU bureaucracy has to be fearful, sensing the possibility of being squeezed between high-tech China and Trump’s America First. And that does not even factor in the inevitable geo-strategic clash between the BRI and the “free and open Indo-Pacific” to be managed, in theory, by the US, Japan, India and Australia; more of a glamorized South China Sea patrol than a vast project of Eurasian economic integration. There will be an EU-China summit in July and then a German-China summit later in the year. Non-transparent sparks are bound to fly.

Death knell tolls for the euro as more European nations repatriate gold – expert to RT

Published time: 24 Mar, 2018 06:05 Edited time: 28 Mar, 2018 12:53

The latest trend among European countries of bringing home their gold reserves has been raising concerns in Brussels. RT talked to Claudio Grass of Precious Metal Advisory Switzerland to understand what’s behind that trend. According to Grass, the process means disintegration, which usually comes with instability, unrest, more government intervention and control. “The central banks started the repatriation already a few years ago, meaning before we had Brexit, Catalonia, Trump, AFD or the rising tensions between the Politburo in Brussels and the nations of Eastern Europe,” he said. Grass explained that these are all symptoms that are evident today and “therefore the central banks might have seen this coming long before the public realized it.” He said it is fair to say that the world is moving away from a centralized system. “If we follow this trend, it should be obvious that the next step should be an even bigger break up into smaller units than the nation states. With such geopolitical fragmentation comes also the decentralization of power.” Analysts have pointed out that EU countries see gold as insurance in case they end up returning to their national currencies. According to Grass, only a fool believes you can create wealth out of nothing, and use that as a basis for a sustainable system. “Our system is based on 7 percent paper notes and 93 percent digital units backed up by nothing other than central bank promises to pay back the debt in the future through inflation and taxation.” He explained that in the Western world, the government is forcing people to give up between 35 and 65 percent of their income and to put it into mandatory vehicles such as pension funds, retirement insurance, taxes, and so on. “If you take away 100 percent of a person’s fruits of labor it is defined as slavery… So there is still some room but it doesn’t look good either.” Grass added that with the “accelerating disintegration of the Eurozone and more nationalistic and right-wing parties popping up that have a clear policy, that is going against the EU.” “It is just a matter of time before the Euro, the most artificial currency ever, is going to collapse,” he concluded.

Armenian-Americans flood the streets of Los Angeles as they call on government to formally recognize 1915 genocide by the Ottoman Empire that took the lives of 1.5MILLION

Thousands of Armenian-Americans marched in Los Angeles on Tuesday

The march recognized the Armenian Genocide that took place a century ago

Marchers demanded the 1.5million deaths be recognized by Turkey as genocide

The demonstrators waved the Armenian and American flags and carried signs

Mayor Eric Garcetti marched alongside thousands of demonstrators on Tuesday

Garcetti was heard saying in a speech that the genocide was 'a human tragedy'

By Associated Press Published: 16:02 EDT, 24 April 2018 | Updated: 08:48 EDT, 25 April 2018

Thousands of Armenian-Americans took to the streets of Los Angeles on Tuesday to commemorate the deaths of an estimated 1.5 million Armenians under the Ottoman Empire a century ago. The demonstrations came hours after Armenian Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan resigned following 10 days of large anti-government protests in that country. Marchers in Los Angeles demanded that the 1.5million deaths starting in 1915 be recognized by Turkey as genocide. Although Armenians and many historians consider it to be genocide, Turkey - successor of the Ottoman Empire - contends those who died were victims of civil war and unrest. Marie Keshishian, an 18-year-old student at Glendale College, said all four of her great-great grandparents were killed in the genocide and that she was marching in their honor. 'I'm out here today to march for justice, to march for recognition, to march for the people - my ancestors, my great-great grandparents who lost their lives ... to hopefully get more people to recognize and accept that there was a genocide,' Keshishian said. Andrew Antaramian, a 32-year-old Pasadena attorney, said he joins in the marches every year to honor his ancestors, who fled Armenia and escaped death. 'It's important to always commemorate what our ancestors have gone through because if this is not going to occur again, we have to remind the world what our people went through,' he said. Mayor Eric Garcetti marched alongside demonstrators, saying in a speech that the genocide was 'a human tragedy.' 'To be a part of the human family we must accept our tragedies,' Garcetti said. 'And all of us will say, 'Never again.'' City Attorney Mike Feuer told demonstrators that 'today here in Los Angeles, we are all Armenians.' 'Look around,' he said as the crowd cheered. 'You are the answer to Hitler.' Kim Kardashian West, one of the most famous Armenian-Americans in the U.S., tweeted an old photo of herself in Armenia and praised global demonstrations calling for the genocide to be recognized. 'It's so inspiring to see all Armenians united in peaceful protests making a difference,' she said. 'It's a historic day for Armenia.'

Political SHTF! DOJ will provide to Congress 6 Months of "Lost" Texts Between FBI Strzok and Page

Category: U.S. National News Tuesday, 24 April 2018 21:44

A lot of people in government are literally sick to their stomach tonight; the Department of Justice (DOJ) will turn over to Congress 6 months of text messages between two Hillary-Shill-FBI-Agents! The political and legal fallout from what is about to take place is shaking Washington to its core. By now most of America is familiar with two names of FBI folks at the epicenter of political intrigue and corruption: Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, pictured above. Those were the two who texted back and forth to each other about an "Insurance policy" to deal with Trump if he won the election . . . exposing an overt and illegal misuse of government Intelligence resources to potentially sabotage an incoming President and to potentially neutralize a lawful election. In simple terms, it appears so far that Strzok and Page were part of an effort by a group of high ranking government officials in several government agencies, to literally "frame" Donald Trump through false accusations of "Russia Collusion" in order to halt his Presidency. The effect, at worst, would have been the nullification-by-subterfuge of a lawful American Presidential Election. In more blunt terms, these folks seemed to think they knew better than 62 Million of us who voted for Trump, and they seemed determined to put a stop to OUR choice for President! When the actions of these two came to light through text messages, Congress demanded the FBI turn over 6 months worth of their text messages for further investigation by Congressional oversight committees. The country was then STUNNED to hear the FBI "accidentally deleted" those records. (Editor's note: The FBI was utterly DESPERATE to conceal those texts for fear the country would find out it had become the equivalent of political police, mis-using the government to effect an election.) What the FBI didn't realize at the time was that the Inspector General already had certified copies of all those text messages; the FBI's "accidental" deletion meant nothing. Tonight, sources confirm to me that the DOJ will make the 6 months of missing texts between Strzok and Page available to Congress sometime tonight or tomorrow. Prepare yourselves. The political and legal fallout from this may very well be staggering.

Good Morning Campers – It’s Denim Day at West Point!

Posted on April 24, 2018 by Ray Starmann

The Long Gray Line is dying before your very eyes. It is being murdered by Obama holdouts, diversity champions, politically correct Marxist professors and feminist nuts. The United States Military Academy is sinking into the Hudson and General MacArthur’s million ghosts in olive drab, in brown khaki, in blue and gray, can rise from their white crosses thundering those magic words: Duty, Honor, Country from now until forever. No one at the Point is listening anymore… The enemy is not at the gates of West Point. The enemy is inside and burning the institution down. Today, I learned that it’s Denim Day at West Point. Yes, that’s right! It’s another day in Obama’s military, which is continuing to fester like a bad case of PC Herpes in Trump’s military, which is turning out to be no different than the nightmare we experienced from 2008-2016. It’s like a continual re-looping of Nightmare on Pentagon Street. According to West Point’s official Facebook page, It’s #DenimDay at #USMA! Today’s uniform choice is part of an international effort to raise awareness of and prevent future sexual assault and harassment. Cadets, staff and faculty alike wore jeans to show commitment to ending sexual assault and harassment. For more info on Denim Day visit: http://denimdayinfo.org  Isn’t that just so politically correct? Isn’t that just so progressive? Cadets, feel free to just rip off your uniform and put those skinny jeans on to show how much empathy you have for victims of sexual assault and harassment. Last year it was red high heels. This year it’s Calvin Klein’s. And, for you transgender cadets, let it all hang out. Guys, wear that lipstick with the jeans, maybe some high heels too. Be yourself, no one there cares, especially the cadre. After all, they let a communist graduate. No, it’s not an episode of the Twilight Zone. It’s another day in Mattis’ Military. You remember General Mattis. He was the tough hombre with the PX haircut and the big book collection who was going to kick in the door to the PC saloon at the Pentagon and kick some butt and take names. Then, he met Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and the Mad Dog became a Chihuahua. Sometime during his confirmation hearing he surrendered his family jewels to her in a US Government mason jar and never looked back. And, the castration of the US military marches on at Mach 4. Can you imagine Lee, Grant, Custer!, Pershing, Patton and Schwarzkopf walking around in jeans at West Point as they showed empathy for sexual assault victims? Denim Day is yet another indicator that the US Military Academy is now being run by traitorous, Obama worshiping, leftist scum who are intent on turning the military upside down. They, like the other politically correct, cultural Marxists in the US military will not stop until the US military is not a military anymore; and nothing more than a waddling, lactating, PC force of soy boys and feminists, screaming their battle cry of ‘diversity!’ The US military is dying before our eyes. Only an idiot would think that nothing is wrong. On the contrary, just about everything is wrong in the military now. Sadly, the man brought into save the military, is proving to be just as worthless as the gutless diversity crusaders he replaced. Denim Day, another clusterfu*k on the Mad Dog’s watch. And, yes, he’s responsible. He’s in charge.

China advances, West frets in South Pacific

Media reports suggesting China aims to establish a naval base on the island nation of Vanuatu underscore Beijing's emergence as a Pacific Ocean power

By Bertil Lintner April 25, 2018 5:22 PM (UTC+8)

Recent Australian media reports suggest that China aims to establish a permanent naval base on the Pacific island republic of Vanuatu, a move which if true would significantly shift the region’s security dynamics. The Vanuatu government and China deny that any such plans are afoot. But the fact is that China has already built a new wharf on the Vanuatu island of Espiritu Santo which is far too large for the mere commercial purposes of its 40,000 inhabitants and occasional tourists. The port, built with financial support from China, is one of the largest in the South Pacific and can accommodate three cargo ships and two cruise liners at the same time, according to press reports. Whatever the facility’s ultimate intent, the controversy surrounding it has put a new spotlight on China’s expanding influence in the South Pacific, a challenge not only to nearby Australia but also to the United States as the prime power in the region. Most of the Pacific nations are tiny with minuscule populations. But they each have huge economic exclusive zones (EEZs) in the vast waterway that lies between China and America. According to the Australia-based think tank the Lowy Institute, China has recently rapidly expanded both its commercial ties and aid programs in the Pacific. It has committed more than US$1.7 billion in aid to eight countries in the region including Timor Leste. This is still not as much as Western nations give: total aid to Pacific countries amounted to US$9 billion over the same period, with Australia providing almost two-thirds of that sum, according to the Lowy Institute. China’s development assistance, as in other regions, does not come with the same requirements for transparency and accountability as Western aid. And China’s promoted projects often focus on symbols of power and grandeur like sports stadiums, government buildings and police stations that appeal to regional leaders more than the sustainable development schemes favored by Western aid agencies. Such projects have been carried out in Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa and even the Cook Islands, a New Zealand dependent territory. While China’s loans and projects may be lavish, it is questionable whether already indebted Pacific island nations can truly afford to repay without eventual sovereignty-eroding concessions. Debt dependence ensures long-term relationships which ultimately will work in Beijing’s long-term strategic interest. China-backed projects usually bring in workers from China and thus do not provide local people with desperately needed employment opportunities. Though there is no evidence yet that China seeks to expand its influence through military might, it is inevitable that its expanding Pacific interests will eventually clash with those of the US and other Western powers. Defense analysts note how Japan and other expansionist countries have historically used the islands to try to build a Pacific empire. Tokyo did just that before and during World War II to challenge US supremacy in an attempt to wrest control over the “buffer ocean” between Asia and the Americas. While Japan’s failed approach was mainly military, China must have learned from those experiences and is pursuing multi-track policies involving aid, loans and diplomacy in its Pacific gambit. At the same time, China is developing for the first time a blue-water navy and that extended reach will inevitably increase its interest in the nearby Pacific. That, perhaps, is where Vanuatu comes into the picture. If the new port facility is developed or used as a naval base, it would be China’s second such overseas naval facility; the first is at Obock in Djibouti on the Horn of Africa, which was inaugurated in August last year. To be sure, China’s interest in Vanuatu could be less strategically ambitious. The South Pacific is also an arena of competition between China and Taiwan. Only 20 nations in the world recognize Taiwan as the legitimate government of China, and six of those are in the South Pacific: Kiribati, the Marshall Islands, Nauru, Palau, Tuvalu and the Solomon Islands. Certain South Pacific nations have shifted recognition back and forth between China and Taiwan depending on which offers more aid. In 2003, China lost its satellite-tracking station on the small, poor island nation of Kiribati when it decided to diplomatically recognize Taiwan rather than China in exchange for aid. At the time, the US suspected that the station, established in 1997, also monitored American missile tests at nearby Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands. But as Australian signals intelligence specialist Desmond Ball pointed out at the time, the station was actually too small for advanced operations such as monitoring missile tests on Kwajalein. Ball argued that China’s Yuan Wang tracking ships were far more useful for basic intelligence gathering. Those spy ships, laden with all kinds of communications gear, are still active worldwide. According to the website globalsecurity.org, four Yuan Wang tracking ships are regularly deployed to three major oceans – the western Pacific, South Pacific and Indian Ocean – to support, track and control piloted missions of its Shenzhou spacecraft and spaceflight program. Ball suggested China’s loss of the Kiribati satellite-tracking station was significant for another reason: it deprived Beijing of a land base in the Pacific from where the movements and activities of its Yuan Wang ships could be coordinated. Security analysts suggest that China has since sought a new such base located near the Equator. Nauru was reportedly in Beijing’s sights when it severed ties with Taiwan and recognized China in 2002, but fell off again when the island nation switched back to Taiwan in 2005. Vanuatu would be a logical location for China to establish a new satellite-tracking station and ground support facility for its Yuan Wang spy ships, but it is also one of the Pacific’s least politically stable nations. Coup-plagued Fiji, one of China’s closest allies in the region, might also be in Beijing’s sights as a possible site. China has seldom hesitated to establish close ties with unstable nations if they help to serve its strategic interests, including in President Xi Jinping’s ambitious Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), under which Beijing will build infrastructure worldwide. China’s closest BRI allies in Asia are Pakistan and Myanmar, two of Asia’s most politically unstable nations. While certainly risky, China is quietly making moves in the Pacific at a time when the US is preoccupied with more pressing security issues in the Middle East, Afghanistan and the Korean Peninsula. Those moves are starting to appear on America’s radar. This month, US inspectors conducted a survey of the Vanuatu wharf on Espiritu Santo in advance preparations for a military exercise the US will undertake in the South Pacific later this year. Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, meanwhile, said this month in apparent reference to the China-backed Vanuatu facility that his government would “view with great concern the establishment of any foreign military bases in those Pacific island countries.” That, of course, overlooks the US and France’s already considerable military presences in the Pacific. Turnbull was speaking instead about China, which for the first time in its history is emerging as a Pacific Ocean power.

Russian 'doomsday machine' nuke could wipe out coastal infrastructure with 300ft tsunamis

Russian underwater drone nuclear carrier could wipe out coastal cities

Drone submarine was confirmed as in development by Putin last month

The Status-6 drone is allegedly able to carry a 100 megaton warhead

Expert says a 50megaton warhead could create 328ft-high tsunami waves

By Sara Malm For Mailonline Published: 11:55 EDT, 24 April 2018 | Updated: 16:00 EDT, 25 April 2018

Russia's new nuclear drone submarine could be capable of causing 300ft-high tsunamis, able to wipe out coastal cities, experts say. The existence of the drone, believed to be the Status-6 system - also known as 'Putin's doomsday machine' - was confirmed by the Russian President himself in his annual state-of-the-nation speech in Moscow last month. Experts say a 50 megaton underwater nuclear bomb would be able to create tsunami waves reaching more than 320ft - the 'Status-6' is allegedly able to carry a 100 megaton warhead. The Status-6 is reported to have a range of up to 6,200 miles with top speeds of 56 knots, and an ability to carry nuclear warheads within range of the US. In his speech on March 1, Putin said the high-speed underwater drone also has an 'intercontinental' range and is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead that could target both aircraft carriers and coastal facilities. He said its operational depth and high speed would make it immune to enemy intercept, adding: 'It's just fantastic!' Physicist and nuclear-weapons researcher Rex Richardson told Business Insider that an underwater warhead dropped by the drone could destroy coastal cities. 'A well-placed nuclear weapon of yield in the range 20 megatons to 50 megatons near a seacoast could certainly couple enough energy to equal the 2011 tsunami [In Japan which killed nearly 16,000 people], and perhaps much more. 'Taking advantage of the rising-sea-floor amplification effect, tsunami waves reaching 100 meters [328 feet] in height are possible.' Mr Richardson added that such an underwater nuclear bomb dropped off the coast of the United States would be able to cause catastrophic damage to cities such as Los Angeles or San Diego through radioactive fallout rains. The 'Status-6' was one of several new nuclear weapons which President Putin announced as having undergone tests in recent months. In the state-of-the-nation speech, Putin said the arsenal include a nuclear-powered cruise missile, a new hypersonic missile and showed video footage the launch of a new heavy intercontinental ballistic missile on big screens. During his speech, Putin said the creation of the new weapons has made NATO's U.S.-led missile defense 'useless,' and means an effective end to what he described as Western efforts to stymie Russia's development. Speaking of the new arsenal, Putin said that the nuclear-powered cruise missile tested last fall has an unlimited range and high speed and maneuverability allowing it to pierce any missile defense.

As China Builds Single Biggest Weather Modification Project In The World, Incredibly Courageous Doctor Warns Of 'Emerging Medical Condition Across Society'

April 24, 2018 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

While the mainstream media apparatus will continue to call 'weather modification' a 'tinfoil hat conspiracy theory' until they're blue in the face, this new story over at Interesting Engineering reports that China is building a 'rain-making system' that is three times as big as the entire nation of Spain. Called the single biggest weather modification project in the world, the system is being created from "a network of solid fuel burning chambers that produce silver iodide, a compound with a structure much like ice that can be used in cloud seeding." Reporting that once the system is in place and up and running, it has "the potential to increase rainfall in the region by up to 10 billion cubic meters a year", we're not the least bit surprised to learn that the project is causing alarm in surrounding countries which may see rain clouds 'hijacked' from delivering much needed rain to their regions OR trigger even more catastrophic flooding for areas downstream of the project. As Qrius reports, China's new rain making technology will cost a whopping $168 million dollars and has been sanctioned by China's top economic leaders and their story takes a brief look at the history of 'man playing God with nature' in that part of the world.: The new system is believed to bring about extensive cloud formation, a rise in precipitation and a high return on investment to the world’s second-largest economy. However, this is not the first time the Chinese have tried to manipulate weather conditions. In the past, China has deployed cloud seeding technology at a massive scale in efforts to relieve drought or to clear the skies for public events, such as the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and even to counter rising temperatures and urban smog. Some news reports even claim that countries like China, Russia, and the US have developed weather modification projects to designed to be used against their enemies in times of air warfare or to induce floods. Also reporting that they'll be using tens of thousands of small 'burning chambers' which will be installed all across the Tibetan Plateau, why is it that, despite the fact that in this story we have absolute proof of 'weather modification', the mainstream media continues to label geoengineering or 'weather modification' as a 'conspiracy theory'? Well we may get some very important answers to that question in the first video below which videographer 'Richie From Boston' calls 'the most important video on YouTube'. As we hear from a medical doctor who may have put his career on the line by appearing in this video, a growing concern of medical doctors who ARE paying attention to what is really going on in the world is what he calls 'chemtrail lung', with heavy metals that are contained within 'strategic aerosol injections' causing all kinds of health and breathing problems for Americans and people all around the world. We also remind you here that back in 1967, the CIA created the term 'conspiracy theorists' to attack and discredit anyone who questioned 'the official narrative' about the assassination of John F. Kennedy. As the website Quartz reported back on March 30th, only 5 years ago, China was the most trigger-happy cloud seeder in the world. It was creating 55 billion tons of artificial rain a year, with plans to quintuple that amount. In 2013, launching cloud-seeding chemicals by rocket into the sky or spraying them from planes were the preferred methods. Still think that 'weather modification' is a 'conspiracy theory'? If so, there is hope for you. From the Quartz story.: Now, reportedly equipped with new military weather-altering technology, China is embarking on its biggest rain-making project yet, the South China Morning Post says. Using a system developed by the state-owned China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, the Hong Kong news outlet reports, the country plans to build tens of thousands of combustion chambers on steep Tibetan mountainsides. The chambers would burn a solid fuel, which would result in a spray of silver iodide billowing towards the sky. The particles, much like those already sprayed from planes, would provide something for passing water vapor to condense around, forming clouds. And the clouds would bring the rain. A single cloud-seeding chamber could create a strip of clouds covering a five-kilometer area, the Morning Post states. As we hear from the doctor that videographer Rachel Reenstra interviews in this video, quoting him directly: "There is an emerging problem that we're having in society all over the world. It's called 'chemtrail lung'. More and more respiratory conditions that are showing up because of the toxic chemicals, heavy metals, gasses, virus particles and other things that are being sprayed across the atmosphere. Especially in this area because Palmdale Airport is the home of a lot of top secret activity that takes place." Also warning of the dangers of vaccines, the overuse of antibiotics and much more, we thank this incredibly courageous doctor for having the courage to speak out while the mainstream media apparatus will surely label him crazy. Yet his warning should be shared across the planet due to the total destruction that weather modification projects are causing to our ecosystem. In this April 22nd story over at Wake Up World written by Dane Wigington as a guest contributor, Dane warns that global weather modification programs are causing climate chaos and environmental catastrophe. And as we're reminded of in the 2nd video below as was reported in this 2014 Paul Joseph Watson story over at Infowars, while Barack Obama was president, he signed an amendment to executive order #13295 that would allow him to mandate the apprehension and detention of Americans who merely show signs of “respiratory illness.” As we reported on ANP back on April 17th in our story titled "They Weren't Kidding When They Said They'd 'Own The Weather By 2025'! Is Full-Scale Weather Warfare Inducing Global Famine?", with America's seemingly never-ending winter causing great problems for farmers in our 'bread basket states' to even get crops into the ground while they are being urged to report snowstorm losses to damaged crops and livestock, they're trying to geoengineer us out of existence. As we have previously reported on ANP, even former CIA Director John Brennan warned in a June 2016 speech to the Council on Foreign Relations that 'strategic aerosol injections' could help some nations at the expense of others. From that speech directly from the CIA's website: Another example is the array of technologies—often referred to collectively as geoengineering—that potentially could help reverse the warming effects of global climate change. One that has gained my personal attention is stratospheric aerosol injection, or SAI, a method of seeding the stratosphere with particles that can help reflect the sun’s heat, in much the same way that volcanic eruptions do. An SAI program could limit global temperature increases, reducing some risks associated with higher temperatures and providing the world economy additional time to transition from fossil fuels. The process is also relatively inexpensive—the National Research Council estimates that a fully deployed SAI program would cost about $10 billion yearly. As promising as it may be, moving forward on SAI would raise a number of challenges for our government and for the international community. On the technical side, greenhouse gas emission reductions would still have to accompany SAI to address other climate change effects, such as ocean acidification, because SAI alone would not remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. On the geopolitical side, the technology’s potential to alter weather patterns and benefit certain regions at the expense of others could trigger sharp opposition by some nations. Others might seize on SAI’s benefits and back away from their commitment to carbon dioxide reductions. And, as with other breakthrough technologies, global norms and standards are lacking to guide the deployment and implementation of SAI. After reading that, do you still think that 'weather modification programs' are just a 'conspiracy theory'? As Steve Quayle warned in his must-read book "Weather Wars & Un-Natural Disasters", “Technology will make available, to the leaders of the major nations, techniques for conducting secret warfare, of which only a bare minimum of security forces need be appraised… Techniques of weather modification could be employed to produce prolonged periods of drought or storm.” While Quayle's warnings from years ago gave those paying attention a huge 'heads up', should we be the least bit surprised that surrounding nations are now warning that China's ambitious weather modification programs could lead to disaster for their own? With government's long using food as a weapon against their people and weather modification projects creating havoc to food supplies in America and around the world, the potential for these projects to be used for far-less-than-benevolent reasons is staggering. And knowing that the Chinese will be using a 'military system' to control the weather, much like HAARP here in America being under control of the US Navy, US Air Force and DARPA, should tell us everything we need to know. This courageous doctor joins in at approximately the 7 minute 55 second mark.

Why You Shouldn’t Wait for the Government To Save You After SHTF

“Hello, I’m from the government and I am here to help…”

If these words sum of your survival “plan,” you should go on ahead and start kissing your loved ones goodbye right now. The government is NOT prepared, and by the time their underlings start rolling down your street, it will likely be to take and not give, supplies. The government is not prepared to render aid to all American people immediately after a national disaster strikes, and beyond. The massive stockpile of food, potable water, and medicine you might think the government has to distribute, simply does not exist. The aftermath of natural disasters in 2017 alone proves that the problems with getting aid to emergency sights are not just a lack of available stockpiles, but also involves budgetary and logistical hurdles as well. Local and state governmental entities will be as overly taxed as federal agencies, and equally hampered by a lack of resources, funds, ability to reach areas in either the immediate or surrounding, disaster area. In all likelihood, when the government does arrive in your neighborhood, it may be to find more essential resources to keep itself and “top priority” areas going. Your guns could be the first thing to go, especially if martial law has been declared. The redistribution of vital materials, “for the public good” should be something we all are thinking about as we prep….and covertly store our preps. Also read: There Will Be Riots, Looting And A Divided America. Learn How To Become Invisible, To Mobs Disaster Warnings How much of a warning the government has before disaster strikes will directly impact both the amount of aide that can be distributed and how long it will take to deliver. Having time to coordinate with state, regional, county, and local governmental entities and businesses that sell fuel, food, and water, will increase the possibility that aide could arrive within days or weeks if the disaster is not a nationwide event. The chance of having more than a 24-hour warning before disaster strikes is likely only going to happen if the incident is sparked by a weather-related event, like a hurricane, tornado, or flooding. The ability to detect solar flares before they happen has only existed for about two decades and is still not perfected. Do not count on the Emergency Alert System (formerly known as the Emergency Broadcast System) to utter more than a single warning before an SHTF incident – if that. The once simplistic emergency response system went high tech about a decade ago…making it incredibly vulnerable to cyber hackers. Terrorists who are able to hack into the EAS could potentially send out false information to not only the general public but to the first responders who would be rushing into ground zero to help in the immediate aftermath of the disaster. Ponder for a moment, how much more devastating the 9/11 attacks or the Boston Marathon bombing could have been had the first responders intentionally been given false information – or instructions designed to lure them to an area for stage two of a terror attack to take place. If the power grid goes down, as would happen during a solar flare, EMP, nuclear attack, or catastrophic natural disaster near Washington, DC, the ability to enact the Emergency Alert System might not exist. The change over from the Emergency Broadcast System to the high tech Emergency Alert System permits the President of the United States to tap into a direct link to the EAS to issue an alert. To date, no president has conducted a live test on the new system, so whether or not it works or how hard it would be to hack, is basically unknown. Some security tech experts maintain hacking into the EAS system would not take the skills of a seasoned cyber hacker. If a hacker garners access to the root server of the Emergency Alert System, the ability to thwart or alter warnings messages has been gained. Governmental Priorities The government’s first priority will not be to feed, house, and render medical aid to the American people. Maintaining order will be the number one priority of all levels of government during and after an SHTF disaster. If our freedom must be infringed upon to get the task completed, that is what will be done. One of the most revered presidents in the history of the United States did just that, and we now celebrate his birth with a day off of work every year. President Abraham Lincoln has long been heralded for saving the union during the Civil War. He may have done that, but the Constitution was trampled upon to achieve the lofty goal. There is a distinct reason many Southerners refer to what happened between 1861 and 1865 as the “War of Northern Aggression,” and they do not have anything to do with cherishing the abhorrent act of owning other human beings. Contrary to what most public school history textbooks tell you, the Civil War began brewing not over slavery, but after more than a decade of tariffs being levied upon the South alone. Politicians of the 1800s were no different than their modern counterparts when it came to holding onto power and money to spend that was not their own. Prior to taking a vote on secession, President Lincoln had the entire Maryland State Legislature arrested. To keep America intact and collecting increasingly high export tariffs, the Constitution was violated in the following ways by Lincoln during the Civil War: 1. The Navy was ordered to blockade domestic ports. Such an act must be ordered by Congress, but during the Civil War, the president usurped the power of the governing body in an effort to starve the South into submission. 2. President Lincoln ordered the military attack on Fort Sumter without congressional approval and refused to call Congress back into formal session after the attack has taken place. Sumter was not just any fort, it was a primary tariff collection depot. 3. General William Tecumseh Sherman has issued an order by President Lincoln to embark on his march to the sea – burning down whole towns (including hospitals) and “requisitioning” food and other goods from Southern residents, as he saw fit. 4. Lincoln again circumvented Congress when he suspended the writ of habeas corpus. This allowed the arrest of Americans without bothering to file a criminal charge against them – and to hold them without the benefit of a trial indefinitely. When ordered by the United States Supreme Court to immediately restore the writ of habeas corpus. Lincoln not only ignored the mandate without consequence, he ordered the arrest of the justice who dared to issue it. Approximately 20,000 Americans were arrested after the writ was suspended during the Civil War. 5. More than 300 newspapers, the only form of a free press at the time, were either commandeered and then shuttered, by order of President Abraham Lincoln. Some of the publishers and editors of the newspapers who reported negative articles about the handling of the Civil War were arrested for merely exercising their right to free speech. The very protections our Founding Fathers wrote into the Constitution to forever prevent a loss of freedom or for tyranny to rear its ugly head in America, were cast aside by a single man and then soundly forgotten by the history books. If you think such a thing could not happen again, for the sake of keeping order, you would be delusional. The government will once again be acting in the ends justify the means mode during an SHTF scenario. Effort To Maintain Order?

Declare martial law

• Impose a curfew

• Restrict movements of Americans – enter the definite possibility of FEMA camps here!

• Requisition all functioning vehicles, or even horses, if the SHTF disaster was caused by an EMP or solar flare.

• Take control of the food supply

• Suspend the writ of habeas corpus…again

• Shut down the free press

The effective mission statement on FEMA’s own website should be viewed as a harbinger of what to expect during a large-scale disaster: “A secure and resilient nation with the capabilities required across the whole community to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from the threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk.” I can just about guarantee you folks that rural areas will not be anywhere near the top priority list for recovery aid during and after a doomsday disaster. When the agents from the Department of Homeland Security and FEMA show up in rural areas where most preppers live, they will be looking for food – because this is where is grown and raised, and for guns because we have the highest percentage of ownership on a geographic scale. Who will be the government decision makers after an SHTF disaster? That question has far too many variables to offer even an educated guess. We could be way down the presidential line of succession after a doomsday disaster. The HMIC could be the director of the Department of Transportation or the deputy director of Bureau of Land Management – in essence, an unelected appointee with less experience than a small town mayor when it comes to managing a population of any size I am not one prone to conspiracy theories. My description of the typical government response is based upon past precedent, agency priorities, and logic. The government will not think it’s out to get you, but protect you while maintaining order for the “public good.” That, my dear fellow preppers, is the recipe for a freedom-infringing and very dangerous scenario, indeed.

EWG’s 2018 Dirty Dozen and Clean 15 Lists (and Why “Experts” Are Telling Us to Ignore Them)

It’s that time of the year again! EWG has announced it’s annual “Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen” list of the foods that are the most contaminated with pesticides. Meanwhile, nutrition “experts” are telling consumers that the list isn’t important and that we should completely ignore the shopper’s guide. Why is this list so important? “It is vitally important that everyone eats plenty of produce, but it is also wise to avoid dietary exposure to toxic pesticides, from conception through childhood,” said Sonya Lunder, senior analyst with EWG. “With EWG’s guide, consumers can fill their fridges and fruit bowls with plenty of healthy conventional and organic produce that isn’t contaminated with multiple pesticide residues.” (source Studies suggest that consuming pesticide-laden food can result in many different health issues. After countless studies, pesticides have been linked to cancer, Alzheimer’s Disease, ADHD, and even birth defects. Pesticides also have the potential to harm the nervous system, the reproductive system, and the endocrine system. Pesticides can even be very harmful to fetuses because the chemicals can pass from the mother during pregnancy or if a woman nurses her child. Although one piece of fruit with pesticides won’t kill you, if they build up in your body, they can be potentially detrimental to your health and should be avoided as much as possible. (source) Since most of us can’t afford a diet of organic, locally-grown pesticide-free food, the Environmental Working Group came up with an annual list that can help you decide what to buy conventional and what to buy organic. Here were some of their most important findings this year: More than one-third of strawberry samples analyzed in 2016 contained 10 or more pesticide residues and breakdown products. More than 98 percent of samples of strawberries, peaches, potatoes, nectarines, cherries and apples tested positive for residue of at least one pesticide. Spinach samples had, on average, almost twice as much pesticide residue by weight compared to any other crop. Avocados and sweet corn were the cleanest. Less than 1 percent of samples showed any detectable pesticides. More than 80 percent of pineapples, papayas, asparagus, onions and cabbages had no pesticide residues. No single fruit sample from the Clean Fifteen tested positive for more than four pesticides. Read on for the EWG’s lists. The Dirty Dozen: These are the most contaminated foods When you go shopping, you should look for the organic version of these foods. The conventional varieties have the highest levels of pesticides that you’ll find. Strawberries Spinach Nectarines Apples Grapes Peaches Cherries Pears Tomatoes Celery Potatoes Sweet bell peppers The Clean 15: These are the less contaminated foods The Clean 15 list suggests the produce that is least likely to contain pesticide residue. However, if you’re avoiding GMOs, it’s important to note that this list does not take genetic modification into account – this is only about pesticides.

Avocados

Sweet corn

Pineapple

Cabbage

Onions

Frozen sweet peas

Papaya

Asparagus

Mangoes

Eggplant

Honeydew melon

Kiwi

Cantaloupe

Cauliflower

Broccoli

But many “experts” are saying we should ignore the Dirty Dozen list. Sadly, many people touted as nutrition experts say that the lists aren’t relevant. Here’s what some of them had to say. “Pro-choice” nutritionist Toby Amidor wrote: These “shoppers’ guides” are a disservice to consumers and confusing because they are not based upon sound science and are often in direct conflict…Among the key findings, misleading messaging which inaccurately describes certain fruits and vegetables as having “higher” pesticide residues results in low-income shoppers reporting that they would be less likely to purchase any fruits and vegetables – organic or conventional. There is a plethora of research which shows eating any form of fruit and vegetables provides more health benefits than skipping them altogether. (source) Carl K. Winter, PhD, food toxicologist and vice chair of food science and technology at the University of California Davis: [Winter] says the amounts of pesticides found on produce are ”tiny”…Based on the report, he says, “I worry that people are becoming concerned when they should not be.” (source) The Alliance for Food and Farming (AFF) says that the EWG’s conclusions are “unsupportable”: A University of California toxicology analysis found that a child could eat hundreds to thousands of servings of a fruit or vegetable in a day and still not have any effects from pesticide residues. This shows how minute residues are, if present at all. According to the FDA, washing produce under running tap water can reduce and often eliminate pesticide residues, if they are present at all. Scientists and health experts have urged consumers not to rely on this type of list to make produce shopping choices since these lists are not science-based and often provide contrasting recommendations. (source) Teresa Thorne, executive director of the Alliance for Food and Farming, an industry group representing farmers who grow both organic and conventional fruits and vegetables: [Thorne] says ”the report is not science-based.” She points out that much of the research finding benefits to a diet rich in fruits and vegetables has been done on conventionally grown produce, not organic. (source) I think the potential bias with the “Alliance for Food and Farmers” is obvious. So what’s a shopper to do? First of all, we each have to try and provide the best nutrition possible for our families while remaining within our budgets. (I wrote a popular article on making these decisions that you can find right here.) However, I sincerely believe that avoiding pesticides as much as possible is extremely important. I use the Dirty Dozen and Clean 15 guide for my own family when making choices about what to purchase at the grocery store. Pesticides are, by their very nature, poison. Why on earth would I deliberately feed them to my children? Pesticides aren’t the only concern out there in Groceryland, so I recommend avoiding them whenever possible.

Why Europe is afraid of the New Silk Roads

Many EU countries are concerned about one-way traffic along the new trade routes Beijing is trying to set up to Europe

By Pepe Escobar April 25, 2018 1:04 PM (UTC+8)

It came out as a sort of minor scandal – considering the ’24/7 post-truth news cycle.’ Of the 28 EU ambassadors in Beijing, 27, with the exception of Hungary’s, signed an internal report criticizing the New Silk Roads as a non-transparent threat to free trade, allegedly favoring unfair competition by Chinese conglomerates. The report was first leaked to respected German business newspaper Handelsblatt. EU diplomats in Brussels confirmed its existence to Asia Times. Then the Chinese Foreign Ministry calmed the turbulence, saying that Brussels had explained what this was all about. In fact, it’s all about nuances. Anyone familiar with how dysfunctional Eurocrat Brussels is knows there’s no EU common policy towards China – or Russia for that matter. The internal report does mention how China, via the New Silk Roads, or Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), is “pursuing domestic political goals like the reduction of surplus capacity, the creation of new export markets and safeguarding access to raw materials.” That’s a self-evident Chinese rationale inbuilt in BRI from the start – and Beijing never denied it. After all, the concept itself was first floated inside the Ministry of Commerce, way before the official announcements by President Xi Jinping in Astana and Jakarta in 2013. Perceptions of the BRI vary across myriad latitudes. Central and Eastern Europe are mostly enthusiastic – as BRI is synonymous with badly needed infrastructure projects. So are Greece and Italy, as Asia Times reported. Northern ports such as Hamburg and Rotterdam are actually configured as BRI terminals. Spain is very much interested in the days when the Yiwu to Madrid cargo train will move to high-speed rail. Essentially, it all boils down to companies from specific EU nations deciding their degree of integration with what Raymond Yeung, ANZ’s chief economist for greater China, describes as “the biggest economic experiment in modern history.” Watch those Chinese engineers The case of France is emblematic. President Emmanuel Macron – now on a massive geopolitical PR offensive to crown himself the unofficial King of Europe – actually praised the BRI when he visited China earlier this year. But nuance, once again, applies: “After all, the ancient Silk Roads were never only Chinese,” Macron said in Xian at the Daming Palace, the residence of the Ancient Silk Road stalwart Tang dynasty for more than two centuries. “These roads”, added Macron, “cannot be those of a new hegemony, which would transform those that they cross into vassals.” So Macron was already prepositioning himself to steer EU-China relations away and beyond the number one EU grievance; how the Chinese play the foreign trade/investment game. Macron has been very vocal in prodding the European Commission bureaucracy to toughen anti-dumping rules against Chinese steel imports and forcing EU-wide screening of takeovers in strategic sectors, especially from China. In parallel, virtually every EU nation – not only France – wants more access to the Chinese market. As much as Macron has touted an optimistic mantra – “Europe is back” – in terms of EU competitiveness, that barely masks the primordial European fear; the fact that it’s China that may be getting too competitive. The BRI, for Beijing, is all about geopolitical but most of all geo-economic projection – including the promotion of new global standards and norms that may not be exactly those practiced by the EU. And that brings us to the heart of the matter, not enounced by the leaked internal report; the intersection between BRI and Made in China: 2025. Beijing is aiming to become a global high-tech leader in less than seven years. Made in China: 2025 identified 10 sectors – including AI, robotics, aerospace, green cars and shipping and shipbuilding – as priorities. China-Germany bilateral trade, at 187 billion euros last year, is way bigger than China-France and China-UK, at 70 billion euros each. And yes, Berlin is worried. Made in China: 2025 represents a significant “threat” to top quality German companies producing high-end manufacturing goods. Those days may be over when China bought astonishing amounts of German machinery – plus the inevitable BMWs and Audis. The new normal points to an army of Chinese companies moving up the value-added chain at breakneck speed. As Bauer CEO Thomas Bauer told Reuters: “(Rivalry with China) will not be a contest against copiers. It will be one against innovative engineers.” Navigating the blue economy The report Blue China; Navigating the Maritime Silk Road to Europe usefully expands the scope of the debate, pointing to how the development of the Maritime Silk Road may be even more crucial than overland connectivity corridors. The report acknowledges how the Maritime Silk Road already affects the EU in terms of maritime trade and shipbuilding, and asks some questions about the increasing global presence of the PLA Navy. It recommends that the EU “should emulate China’s blue economy as an engine of growth and wealth, and encourage innovation to respond to well-funded Chinese industrial and R&D policies.” The “blue economy” features heavily in Made in China: 2025 – especially in terms of innovation in port infrastructure and shipping. The rationale, from Beijing’s point of view, is always about maritime trade cost cutting – but that, of course, will always depend on whether oil prices will keep going up, as OPEC and Russia are keen. As it stands, the EU bureaucracy has to be fearful, sensing the possibility of being squeezed between high-tech China and Trump’s America First. And that does not even factor in the inevitable geo-strategic clash between the BRI and the “free and open Indo-Pacific” to be managed, in theory, by the US, Japan, India and Australia; more of a glamorized South China Sea patrol than a vast project of Eurasian economic integration. There will be an EU-China summit in July and then a German-China summit later in the year. Non-transparent sparks are bound to fly.

Death knell tolls for the euro as more European nations repatriate gold – expert to RT

Published time: 24 Mar, 2018 06:05 Edited time: 28 Mar, 2018 12:53

The latest trend among European countries of bringing home their gold reserves has been raising concerns in Brussels. RT talked to Claudio Grass of Precious Metal Advisory Switzerland to understand what’s behind that trend. According to Grass, the process means disintegration, which usually comes with instability, unrest, more government intervention and control. “The central banks started the repatriation already a few years ago, meaning before we had Brexit, Catalonia, Trump, AFD or the rising tensions between the Politburo in Brussels and the nations of Eastern Europe,” he said. Grass explained that these are all symptoms that are evident today and “therefore the central banks might have seen this coming long before the public realized it.” He said it is fair to say that the world is moving away from a centralized system. “If we follow this trend, it should be obvious that the next step should be an even bigger break up into smaller units than the nation states. With such geopolitical fragmentation comes also the decentralization of power.” Analysts have pointed out that EU countries see gold as insurance in case they end up returning to their national currencies. According to Grass, only a fool believes you can create wealth out of nothing, and use that as a basis for a sustainable system. “Our system is based on 7 percent paper notes and 93 percent digital units backed up by nothing other than central bank promises to pay back the debt in the future through inflation and taxation.” He explained that in the Western world, the government is forcing people to give up between 35 and 65 percent of their income and to put it into mandatory vehicles such as pension funds, retirement insurance, taxes, and so on. “If you take away 100 percent of a person’s fruits of labor it is defined as slavery… So there is still some room but it doesn’t look good either.” Grass added that with the “accelerating disintegration of the Eurozone and more nationalistic and right-wing parties popping up that have a clear policy, that is going against the EU.” “It is just a matter of time before the Euro, the most artificial currency ever, is going to collapse,” he concluded.

Armenian-Americans flood the streets of Los Angeles as they call on government to formally recognize 1915 genocide by the Ottoman Empire that took the lives of 1.5MILLION

Thousands of Armenian-Americans marched in Los Angeles on Tuesday

The march recognized the Armenian Genocide that took place a century ago

Marchers demanded the 1.5million deaths be recognized by Turkey as genocide

The demonstrators waved the Armenian and American flags and carried signs

Mayor Eric Garcetti marched alongside thousands of demonstrators on Tuesday

Garcetti was heard saying in a speech that the genocide was 'a human tragedy'

By Associated Press Published: 16:02 EDT, 24 April 2018 | Updated: 08:48 EDT, 25 April 2018

Thousands of Armenian-Americans took to the streets of Los Angeles on Tuesday to commemorate the deaths of an estimated 1.5 million Armenians under the Ottoman Empire a century ago. The demonstrations came hours after Armenian Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan resigned following 10 days of large anti-government protests in that country. Marchers in Los Angeles demanded that the 1.5million deaths starting in 1915 be recognized by Turkey as genocide. Although Armenians and many historians consider it to be genocide, Turkey - successor of the Ottoman Empire - contends those who died were victims of civil war and unrest. Marie Keshishian, an 18-year-old student at Glendale College, said all four of her great-great grandparents were killed in the genocide and that she was marching in their honor. 'I'm out here today to march for justice, to march for recognition, to march for the people - my ancestors, my great-great grandparents who lost their lives ... to hopefully get more people to recognize and accept that there was a genocide,' Keshishian said. Andrew Antaramian, a 32-year-old Pasadena attorney, said he joins in the marches every year to honor his ancestors, who fled Armenia and escaped death. 'It's important to always commemorate what our ancestors have gone through because if this is not going to occur again, we have to remind the world what our people went through,' he said. Mayor Eric Garcetti marched alongside demonstrators, saying in a speech that the genocide was 'a human tragedy.' 'To be a part of the human family we must accept our tragedies,' Garcetti said. 'And all of us will say, 'Never again.'' City Attorney Mike Feuer told demonstrators that 'today here in Los Angeles, we are all Armenians.' 'Look around,' he said as the crowd cheered. 'You are the answer to Hitler.' Kim Kardashian West, one of the most famous Armenian-Americans in the U.S., tweeted an old photo of herself in Armenia and praised global demonstrations calling for the genocide to be recognized. 'It's so inspiring to see all Armenians united in peaceful protests making a difference,' she said. 'It's a historic day for Armenia.'

Political SHTF! DOJ will provide to Congress 6 Months of "Lost" Texts Between FBI Strzok and Page

Category: U.S. National News Tuesday, 24 April 2018 21:44

A lot of people in government are literally sick to their stomach tonight; the Department of Justice (DOJ) will turn over to Congress 6 months of text messages between two Hillary-Shill-FBI-Agents! The political and legal fallout from what is about to take place is shaking Washington to its core. By now most of America is familiar with two names of FBI folks at the epicenter of political intrigue and corruption: Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, pictured above. Those were the two who texted back and forth to each other about an "Insurance policy" to deal with Trump if he won the election . . . exposing an overt and illegal misuse of government Intelligence resources to potentially sabotage an incoming President and to potentially neutralize a lawful election. In simple terms, it appears so far that Strzok and Page were part of an effort by a group of high ranking government officials in several government agencies, to literally "frame" Donald Trump through false accusations of "Russia Collusion" in order to halt his Presidency. The effect, at worst, would have been the nullification-by-subterfuge of a lawful American Presidential Election. In more blunt terms, these folks seemed to think they knew better than 62 Million of us who voted for Trump, and they seemed determined to put a stop to OUR choice for President! When the actions of these two came to light through text messages, Congress demanded the FBI turn over 6 months worth of their text messages for further investigation by Congressional oversight committees. The country was then STUNNED to hear the FBI "accidentally deleted" those records. (Editor's note: The FBI was utterly DESPERATE to conceal those texts for fear the country would find out it had become the equivalent of political police, mis-using the government to effect an election.) What the FBI didn't realize at the time was that the Inspector General already had certified copies of all those text messages; the FBI's "accidental" deletion meant nothing. Tonight, sources confirm to me that the DOJ will make the 6 months of missing texts between Strzok and Page available to Congress sometime tonight or tomorrow. Prepare yourselves. The political and legal fallout from this may very well be staggering.

Good Morning Campers – It’s Denim Day at West Point!

Posted on April 24, 2018 by Ray Starmann

The Long Gray Line is dying before your very eyes. It is being murdered by Obama holdouts, diversity champions, politically correct Marxist professors and feminist nuts. The United States Military Academy is sinking into the Hudson and General MacArthur’s million ghosts in olive drab, in brown khaki, in blue and gray, can rise from their white crosses thundering those magic words: Duty, Honor, Country from now until forever. No one at the Point is listening anymore… The enemy is not at the gates of West Point. The enemy is inside and burning the institution down. Today, I learned that it’s Denim Day at West Point. Yes, that’s right! It’s another day in Obama’s military, which is continuing to fester like a bad case of PC Herpes in Trump’s military, which is turning out to be no different than the nightmare we experienced from 2008-2016. It’s like a continual re-looping of Nightmare on Pentagon Street. According to West Point’s official Facebook page, It’s #DenimDay at #USMA! Today’s uniform choice is part of an international effort to raise awareness of and prevent future sexual assault and harassment. Cadets, staff and faculty alike wore jeans to show commitment to ending sexual assault and harassment. For more info on Denim Day visit: http://denimdayinfo.org  Isn’t that just so politically correct? Isn’t that just so progressive? Cadets, feel free to just rip off your uniform and put those skinny jeans on to show how much empathy you have for victims of sexual assault and harassment. Last year it was red high heels. This year it’s Calvin Klein’s. And, for you transgender cadets, let it all hang out. Guys, wear that lipstick with the jeans, maybe some high heels too. Be yourself, no one there cares, especially the cadre. After all, they let a communist graduate. No, it’s not an episode of the Twilight Zone. It’s another day in Mattis’ Military. You remember General Mattis. He was the tough hombre with the PX haircut and the big book collection who was going to kick in the door to the PC saloon at the Pentagon and kick some butt and take names. Then, he met Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and the Mad Dog became a Chihuahua. Sometime during his confirmation hearing he surrendered his family jewels to her in a US Government mason jar and never looked back. And, the castration of the US military marches on at Mach 4. Can you imagine Lee, Grant, Custer!, Pershing, Patton and Schwarzkopf walking around in jeans at West Point as they showed empathy for sexual assault victims? Denim Day is yet another indicator that the US Military Academy is now being run by traitorous, Obama worshiping, leftist scum who are intent on turning the military upside down. They, like the other politically correct, cultural Marxists in the US military will not stop until the US military is not a military anymore; and nothing more than a waddling, lactating, PC force of soy boys and feminists, screaming their battle cry of ‘diversity!’ The US military is dying before our eyes. Only an idiot would think that nothing is wrong. On the contrary, just about everything is wrong in the military now. Sadly, the man brought into save the military, is proving to be just as worthless as the gutless diversity crusaders he replaced. Denim Day, another clusterfu*k on the Mad Dog’s watch. And, yes, he’s responsible. He’s in charge.

China advances, West frets in South Pacific

Media reports suggesting China aims to establish a naval base on the island nation of Vanuatu underscore Beijing's emergence as a Pacific Ocean power

By Bertil Lintner April 25, 2018 5:22 PM (UTC+8)

Recent Australian media reports suggest that China aims to establish a permanent naval base on the Pacific island republic of Vanuatu, a move which if true would significantly shift the region’s security dynamics. The Vanuatu government and China deny that any such plans are afoot. But the fact is that China has already built a new wharf on the Vanuatu island of Espiritu Santo which is far too large for the mere commercial purposes of its 40,000 inhabitants and occasional tourists. The port, built with financial support from China, is one of the largest in the South Pacific and can accommodate three cargo ships and two cruise liners at the same time, according to press reports. Whatever the facility’s ultimate intent, the controversy surrounding it has put a new spotlight on China’s expanding influence in the South Pacific, a challenge not only to nearby Australia but also to the United States as the prime power in the region. Most of the Pacific nations are tiny with minuscule populations. But they each have huge economic exclusive zones (EEZs) in the vast waterway that lies between China and America. According to the Australia-based think tank the Lowy Institute, China has recently rapidly expanded both its commercial ties and aid programs in the Pacific. It has committed more than US$1.7 billion in aid to eight countries in the region including Timor Leste. This is still not as much as Western nations give: total aid to Pacific countries amounted to US$9 billion over the same period, with Australia providing almost two-thirds of that sum, according to the Lowy Institute. China’s development assistance, as in other regions, does not come with the same requirements for transparency and accountability as Western aid. And China’s promoted projects often focus on symbols of power and grandeur like sports stadiums, government buildings and police stations that appeal to regional leaders more than the sustainable development schemes favored by Western aid agencies. Such projects have been carried out in Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa and even the Cook Islands, a New Zealand dependent territory. While China’s loans and projects may be lavish, it is questionable whether already indebted Pacific island nations can truly afford to repay without eventual sovereignty-eroding concessions. Debt dependence ensures long-term relationships which ultimately will work in Beijing’s long-term strategic interest. China-backed projects usually bring in workers from China and thus do not provide local people with desperately needed employment opportunities. Though there is no evidence yet that China seeks to expand its influence through military might, it is inevitable that its expanding Pacific interests will eventually clash with those of the US and other Western powers. Defense analysts note how Japan and other expansionist countries have historically used the islands to try to build a Pacific empire. Tokyo did just that before and during World War II to challenge US supremacy in an attempt to wrest control over the “buffer ocean” between Asia and the Americas. While Japan’s failed approach was mainly military, China must have learned from those experiences and is pursuing multi-track policies involving aid, loans and diplomacy in its Pacific gambit. At the same time, China is developing for the first time a blue-water navy and that extended reach will inevitably increase its interest in the nearby Pacific. That, perhaps, is where Vanuatu comes into the picture. If the new port facility is developed or used as a naval base, it would be China’s second such overseas naval facility; the first is at Obock in Djibouti on the Horn of Africa, which was inaugurated in August last year. To be sure, China’s interest in Vanuatu could be less strategically ambitious. The South Pacific is also an arena of competition between China and Taiwan. Only 20 nations in the world recognize Taiwan as the legitimate government of China, and six of those are in the South Pacific: Kiribati, the Marshall Islands, Nauru, Palau, Tuvalu and the Solomon Islands. Certain South Pacific nations have shifted recognition back and forth between China and Taiwan depending on which offers more aid. In 2003, China lost its satellite-tracking station on the small, poor island nation of Kiribati when it decided to diplomatically recognize Taiwan rather than China in exchange for aid. At the time, the US suspected that the station, established in 1997, also monitored American missile tests at nearby Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands. But as Australian signals intelligence specialist Desmond Ball pointed out at the time, the station was actually too small for advanced operations such as monitoring missile tests on Kwajalein. Ball argued that China’s Yuan Wang tracking ships were far more useful for basic intelligence gathering. Those spy ships, laden with all kinds of communications gear, are still active worldwide. According to the website globalsecurity.org, four Yuan Wang tracking ships are regularly deployed to three major oceans – the western Pacific, South Pacific and Indian Ocean – to support, track and control piloted missions of its Shenzhou spacecraft and spaceflight program. Ball suggested China’s loss of the Kiribati satellite-tracking station was significant for another reason: it deprived Beijing of a land base in the Pacific from where the movements and activities of its Yuan Wang ships could be coordinated. Security analysts suggest that China has since sought a new such base located near the Equator. Nauru was reportedly in Beijing’s sights when it severed ties with Taiwan and recognized China in 2002, but fell off again when the island nation switched back to Taiwan in 2005. Vanuatu would be a logical location for China to establish a new satellite-tracking station and ground support facility for its Yuan Wang spy ships, but it is also one of the Pacific’s least politically stable nations. Coup-plagued Fiji, one of China’s closest allies in the region, might also be in Beijing’s sights as a possible site. China has seldom hesitated to establish close ties with unstable nations if they help to serve its strategic interests, including in President Xi Jinping’s ambitious Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), under which Beijing will build infrastructure worldwide. China’s closest BRI allies in Asia are Pakistan and Myanmar, two of Asia’s most politically unstable nations. While certainly risky, China is quietly making moves in the Pacific at a time when the US is preoccupied with more pressing security issues in the Middle East, Afghanistan and the Korean Peninsula. Those moves are starting to appear on America’s radar. This month, US inspectors conducted a survey of the Vanuatu wharf on Espiritu Santo in advance preparations for a military exercise the US will undertake in the South Pacific later this year. Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, meanwhile, said this month in apparent reference to the China-backed Vanuatu facility that his government would “view with great concern the establishment of any foreign military bases in those Pacific island countries.” That, of course, overlooks the US and France’s already considerable military presences in the Pacific. Turnbull was speaking instead about China, which for the first time in its history is emerging as a Pacific Ocean power.

Russian 'doomsday machine' nuke could wipe out coastal infrastructure with 300ft tsunamis

Russian underwater drone nuclear carrier could wipe out coastal cities

Drone submarine was confirmed as in development by Putin last month

The Status-6 drone is allegedly able to carry a 100 megaton warhead

Expert says a 50megaton warhead could create 328ft-high tsunami waves

By Sara Malm For Mailonline Published: 11:55 EDT, 24 April 2018 | Updated: 16:00 EDT, 25 April 2018

Russia's new nuclear drone submarine could be capable of causing 300ft-high tsunamis, able to wipe out coastal cities, experts say. The existence of the drone, believed to be the Status-6 system - also known as 'Putin's doomsday machine' - was confirmed by the Russian President himself in his annual state-of-the-nation speech in Moscow last month. Experts say a 50 megaton underwater nuclear bomb would be able to create tsunami waves reaching more than 320ft - the 'Status-6' is allegedly able to carry a 100 megaton warhead. The Status-6 is reported to have a range of up to 6,200 miles with top speeds of 56 knots, and an ability to carry nuclear warheads within range of the US. In his speech on March 1, Putin said the high-speed underwater drone also has an 'intercontinental' range and is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead that could target both aircraft carriers and coastal facilities. He said its operational depth and high speed would make it immune to enemy intercept, adding: 'It's just fantastic!' Physicist and nuclear-weapons researcher Rex Richardson told Business Insider that an underwater warhead dropped by the drone could destroy coastal cities. 'A well-placed nuclear weapon of yield in the range 20 megatons to 50 megatons near a seacoast could certainly couple enough energy to equal the 2011 tsunami [In Japan which killed nearly 16,000 people], and perhaps much more. 'Taking advantage of the rising-sea-floor amplification effect, tsunami waves reaching 100 meters [328 feet] in height are possible.' Mr Richardson added that such an underwater nuclear bomb dropped off the coast of the United States would be able to cause catastrophic damage to cities such as Los Angeles or San Diego through radioactive fallout rains. The 'Status-6' was one of several new nuclear weapons which President Putin announced as having undergone tests in recent months. In the state-of-the-nation speech, Putin said the arsenal include a nuclear-powered cruise missile, a new hypersonic missile and showed video footage the launch of a new heavy intercontinental ballistic missile on big screens. During his speech, Putin said the creation of the new weapons has made NATO's U.S.-led missile defense 'useless,' and means an effective end to what he described as Western efforts to stymie Russia's development. Speaking of the new arsenal, Putin said that the nuclear-powered cruise missile tested last fall has an unlimited range and high speed and maneuverability allowing it to pierce any missile defense.

As China Builds Single Biggest Weather Modification Project In The World, Incredibly Courageous Doctor Warns Of 'Emerging Medical Condition Across Society'

April 24, 2018 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

While the mainstream media apparatus will continue to call 'weather modification' a 'tinfoil hat conspiracy theory' until they're blue in the face, this new story over at Interesting Engineering reports that China is building a 'rain-making system' that is three times as big as the entire nation of Spain. Called the single biggest weather modification project in the world, the system is being created from "a network of solid fuel burning chambers that produce silver iodide, a compound with a structure much like ice that can be used in cloud seeding." Reporting that once the system is in place and up and running, it has "the potential to increase rainfall in the region by up to 10 billion cubic meters a year", we're not the least bit surprised to learn that the project is causing alarm in surrounding countries which may see rain clouds 'hijacked' from delivering much needed rain to their regions OR trigger even more catastrophic flooding for areas downstream of the project. As Qrius reports, China's new rain making technology will cost a whopping $168 million dollars and has been sanctioned by China's top economic leaders and their story takes a brief look at the history of 'man playing God with nature' in that part of the world.: The new system is believed to bring about extensive cloud formation, a rise in precipitation and a high return on investment to the world’s second-largest economy. However, this is not the first time the Chinese have tried to manipulate weather conditions. In the past, China has deployed cloud seeding technology at a massive scale in efforts to relieve drought or to clear the skies for public events, such as the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and even to counter rising temperatures and urban smog. Some news reports even claim that countries like China, Russia, and the US have developed weather modification projects to designed to be used against their enemies in times of air warfare or to induce floods. Also reporting that they'll be using tens of thousands of small 'burning chambers' which will be installed all across the Tibetan Plateau, why is it that, despite the fact that in this story we have absolute proof of 'weather modification', the mainstream media continues to label geoengineering or 'weather modification' as a 'conspiracy theory'? Well we may get some very important answers to that question in the first video below which videographer 'Richie From Boston' calls 'the most important video on YouTube'. As we hear from a medical doctor who may have put his career on the line by appearing in this video, a growing concern of medical doctors who ARE paying attention to what is really going on in the world is what he calls 'chemtrail lung', with heavy metals that are contained within 'strategic aerosol injections' causing all kinds of health and breathing problems for Americans and people all around the world. We also remind you here that back in 1967, the CIA created the term 'conspiracy theorists' to attack and discredit anyone who questioned 'the official narrative' about the assassination of John F. Kennedy. As the website Quartz reported back on March 30th, only 5 years ago, China was the most trigger-happy cloud seeder in the world. It was creating 55 billion tons of artificial rain a year, with plans to quintuple that amount. In 2013, launching cloud-seeding chemicals by rocket into the sky or spraying them from planes were the preferred methods. Still think that 'weather modification' is a 'conspiracy theory'? If so, there is hope for you. From the Quartz story.: Now, reportedly equipped with new military weather-altering technology, China is embarking on its biggest rain-making project yet, the South China Morning Post says. Using a system developed by the state-owned China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, the Hong Kong news outlet reports, the country plans to build tens of thousands of combustion chambers on steep Tibetan mountainsides. The chambers would burn a solid fuel, which would result in a spray of silver iodide billowing towards the sky. The particles, much like those already sprayed from planes, would provide something for passing water vapor to condense around, forming clouds. And the clouds would bring the rain. A single cloud-seeding chamber could create a strip of clouds covering a five-kilometer area, the Morning Post states. As we hear from the doctor that videographer Rachel Reenstra interviews in this video, quoting him directly: "There is an emerging problem that we're having in society all over the world. It's called 'chemtrail lung'. More and more respiratory conditions that are showing up because of the toxic chemicals, heavy metals, gasses, virus particles and other things that are being sprayed across the atmosphere. Especially in this area because Palmdale Airport is the home of a lot of top secret activity that takes place." Also warning of the dangers of vaccines, the overuse of antibiotics and much more, we thank this incredibly courageous doctor for having the courage to speak out while the mainstream media apparatus will surely label him crazy. Yet his warning should be shared across the planet due to the total destruction that weather modification projects are causing to our ecosystem. In this April 22nd story over at Wake Up World written by Dane Wigington as a guest contributor, Dane warns that global weather modification programs are causing climate chaos and environmental catastrophe. And as we're reminded of in the 2nd video below as was reported in this 2014 Paul Joseph Watson story over at Infowars, while Barack Obama was president, he signed an amendment to executive order #13295 that would allow him to mandate the apprehension and detention of Americans who merely show signs of “respiratory illness.” As we reported on ANP back on April 17th in our story titled "They Weren't Kidding When They Said They'd 'Own The Weather By 2025'! Is Full-Scale Weather Warfare Inducing Global Famine?", with America's seemingly never-ending winter causing great problems for farmers in our 'bread basket states' to even get crops into the ground while they are being urged to report snowstorm losses to damaged crops and livestock, they're trying to geoengineer us out of existence. As we have previously reported on ANP, even former CIA Director John Brennan warned in a June 2016 speech to the Council on Foreign Relations that 'strategic aerosol injections' could help some nations at the expense of others. From that speech directly from the CIA's website: Another example is the array of technologies—often referred to collectively as geoengineering—that potentially could help reverse the warming effects of global climate change. One that has gained my personal attention is stratospheric aerosol injection, or SAI, a method of seeding the stratosphere with particles that can help reflect the sun’s heat, in much the same way that volcanic eruptions do. An SAI program could limit global temperature increases, reducing some risks associated with higher temperatures and providing the world economy additional time to transition from fossil fuels. The process is also relatively inexpensive—the National Research Council estimates that a fully deployed SAI program would cost about $10 billion yearly. As promising as it may be, moving forward on SAI would raise a number of challenges for our government and for the international community. On the technical side, greenhouse gas emission reductions would still have to accompany SAI to address other climate change effects, such as ocean acidification, because SAI alone would not remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. On the geopolitical side, the technology’s potential to alter weather patterns and benefit certain regions at the expense of others could trigger sharp opposition by some nations. Others might seize on SAI’s benefits and back away from their commitment to carbon dioxide reductions. And, as with other breakthrough technologies, global norms and standards are lacking to guide the deployment and implementation of SAI. After reading that, do you still think that 'weather modification programs' are just a 'conspiracy theory'? As Steve Quayle warned in his must-read book "Weather Wars & Un-Natural Disasters", “Technology will make available, to the leaders of the major nations, techniques for conducting secret warfare, of which only a bare minimum of security forces need be appraised… Techniques of weather modification could be employed to produce prolonged periods of drought or storm.” While Quayle's warnings from years ago gave those paying attention a huge 'heads up', should we be the least bit surprised that surrounding nations are now warning that China's ambitious weather modification programs could lead to disaster for their own? With government's long using food as a weapon against their people and weather modification projects creating havoc to food supplies in America and around the world, the potential for these projects to be used for far-less-than-benevolent reasons is staggering. And knowing that the Chinese will be using a 'military system' to control the weather, much like HAARP here in America being under control of the US Navy, US Air Force and DARPA, should tell us everything we need to know. This courageous doctor joins in at approximately the 7 minute 55 second mark.

Why You Shouldn’t Wait for the Government To Save You After SHTF

“Hello, I’m from the government and I am here to help…”

If these words sum of your survival “plan,” you should go on ahead and start kissing your loved ones goodbye right now. The government is NOT prepared, and by the time their underlings start rolling down your street, it will likely be to take and not give, supplies. The government is not prepared to render aid to all American people immediately after a national disaster strikes, and beyond. The massive stockpile of food, potable water, and medicine you might think the government has to distribute, simply does not exist. The aftermath of natural disasters in 2017 alone proves that the problems with getting aid to emergency sights are not just a lack of available stockpiles, but also involves budgetary and logistical hurdles as well. Local and state governmental entities will be as overly taxed as federal agencies, and equally hampered by a lack of resources, funds, ability to reach areas in either the immediate or surrounding, disaster area. In all likelihood, when the government does arrive in your neighborhood, it may be to find more essential resources to keep itself and “top priority” areas going. Your guns could be the first thing to go, especially if martial law has been declared. The redistribution of vital materials, “for the public good” should be something we all are thinking about as we prep….and covertly store our preps. Also read: There Will Be Riots, Looting And A Divided America. Learn How To Become Invisible, To Mobs Disaster Warnings How much of a warning the government has before disaster strikes will directly impact both the amount of aide that can be distributed and how long it will take to deliver. Having time to coordinate with state, regional, county, and local governmental entities and businesses that sell fuel, food, and water, will increase the possibility that aide could arrive within days or weeks if the disaster is not a nationwide event. The chance of having more than a 24-hour warning before disaster strikes is likely only going to happen if the incident is sparked by a weather-related event, like a hurricane, tornado, or flooding. The ability to detect solar flares before they happen has only existed for about two decades and is still not perfected. Do not count on the Emergency Alert System (formerly known as the Emergency Broadcast System) to utter more than a single warning before an SHTF incident – if that. The once simplistic emergency response system went high tech about a decade ago…making it incredibly vulnerable to cyber hackers. Terrorists who are able to hack into the EAS could potentially send out false information to not only the general public but to the first responders who would be rushing into ground zero to help in the immediate aftermath of the disaster. Ponder for a moment, how much more devastating the 9/11 attacks or the Boston Marathon bombing could have been had the first responders intentionally been given false information – or instructions designed to lure them to an area for stage two of a terror attack to take place. If the power grid goes down, as would happen during a solar flare, EMP, nuclear attack, or catastrophic natural disaster near Washington, DC, the ability to enact the Emergency Alert System might not exist. The change over from the Emergency Broadcast System to the high tech Emergency Alert System permits the President of the United States to tap into a direct link to the EAS to issue an alert. To date, no president has conducted a live test on the new system, so whether or not it works or how hard it would be to hack, is basically unknown. Some security tech experts maintain hacking into the EAS system would not take the skills of a seasoned cyber hacker. If a hacker garners access to the root server of the Emergency Alert System, the ability to thwart or alter warnings messages has been gained. Governmental Priorities The government’s first priority will not be to feed, house, and render medical aid to the American people. Maintaining order will be the number one priority of all levels of government during and after an SHTF disaster. If our freedom must be infringed upon to get the task completed, that is what will be done. One of the most revered presidents in the history of the United States did just that, and we now celebrate his birth with a day off of work every year. President Abraham Lincoln has long been heralded for saving the union during the Civil War. He may have done that, but the Constitution was trampled upon to achieve the lofty goal. There is a distinct reason many Southerners refer to what happened between 1861 and 1865 as the “War of Northern Aggression,” and they do not have anything to do with cherishing the abhorrent act of owning other human beings. Contrary to what most public school history textbooks tell you, the Civil War began brewing not over slavery, but after more than a decade of tariffs being levied upon the South alone. Politicians of the 1800s were no different than their modern counterparts when it came to holding onto power and money to spend that was not their own. Prior to taking a vote on secession, President Lincoln had the entire Maryland State Legislature arrested. To keep America intact and collecting increasingly high export tariffs, the Constitution was violated in the following ways by Lincoln during the Civil War: 1. The Navy was ordered to blockade domestic ports. Such an act must be ordered by Congress, but during the Civil War, the president usurped the power of the governing body in an effort to starve the South into submission. 2. President Lincoln ordered the military attack on Fort Sumter without congressional approval and refused to call Congress back into formal session after the attack has taken place. Sumter was not just any fort, it was a primary tariff collection depot. 3. General William Tecumseh Sherman has issued an order by President Lincoln to embark on his march to the sea – burning down whole towns (including hospitals) and “requisitioning” food and other goods from Southern residents, as he saw fit. 4. Lincoln again circumvented Congress when he suspended the writ of habeas corpus. This allowed the arrest of Americans without bothering to file a criminal charge against them – and to hold them without the benefit of a trial indefinitely. When ordered by the United States Supreme Court to immediately restore the writ of habeas corpus. Lincoln not only ignored the mandate without consequence, he ordered the arrest of the justice who dared to issue it. Approximately 20,000 Americans were arrested after the writ was suspended during the Civil War. 5. More than 300 newspapers, the only form of a free press at the time, were either commandeered and then shuttered, by order of President Abraham Lincoln. Some of the publishers and editors of the newspapers who reported negative articles about the handling of the Civil War were arrested for merely exercising their right to free speech. The very protections our Founding Fathers wrote into the Constitution to forever prevent a loss of freedom or for tyranny to rear its ugly head in America, were cast aside by a single man and then soundly forgotten by the history books. If you think such a thing could not happen again, for the sake of keeping order, you would be delusional. The government will once again be acting in the ends justify the means mode during an SHTF scenario. Effort To Maintain Order?

Declare martial law

• Impose a curfew

• Restrict movements of Americans – enter the definite possibility of FEMA camps here!

• Requisition all functioning vehicles, or even horses, if the SHTF disaster was caused by an EMP or solar flare.

• Take control of the food supply

• Suspend the writ of habeas corpus…again

• Shut down the free press

The effective mission statement on FEMA’s own website should be viewed as a harbinger of what to expect during a large-scale disaster: “A secure and resilient nation with the capabilities required across the whole community to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from the threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk.” I can just about guarantee you folks that rural areas will not be anywhere near the top priority list for recovery aid during and after a doomsday disaster. When the agents from the Department of Homeland Security and FEMA show up in rural areas where most preppers live, they will be looking for food – because this is where is grown and raised, and for guns because we have the highest percentage of ownership on a geographic scale. Who will be the government decision makers after an SHTF disaster? That question has far too many variables to offer even an educated guess. We could be way down the presidential line of succession after a doomsday disaster. The HMIC could be the director of the Department of Transportation or the deputy director of Bureau of Land Management – in essence, an unelected appointee with less experience than a small town mayor when it comes to managing a population of any size I am not one prone to conspiracy theories. My description of the typical government response is based upon past precedent, agency priorities, and logic. The government will not think it’s out to get you, but protect you while maintaining order for the “public good.” That, my dear fellow preppers, is the recipe for a freedom-infringing and very dangerous scenario, indeed.

EWG’s 2018 Dirty Dozen and Clean 15 Lists (and Why “Experts” Are Telling Us to Ignore Them)

It’s that time of the year again! EWG has announced it’s annual “Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen” list of the foods that are the most contaminated with pesticides. Meanwhile, nutrition “experts” are telling consumers that the list isn’t important and that we should completely ignore the shopper’s guide. Why is this list so important? “It is vitally important that everyone eats plenty of produce, but it is also wise to avoid dietary exposure to toxic pesticides, from conception through childhood,” said Sonya Lunder, senior analyst with EWG. “With EWG’s guide, consumers can fill their fridges and fruit bowls with plenty of healthy conventional and organic produce that isn’t contaminated with multiple pesticide residues.” (source Studies suggest that consuming pesticide-laden food can result in many different health issues. After countless studies, pesticides have been linked to cancer, Alzheimer’s Disease, ADHD, and even birth defects. Pesticides also have the potential to harm the nervous system, the reproductive system, and the endocrine system. Pesticides can even be very harmful to fetuses because the chemicals can pass from the mother during pregnancy or if a woman nurses her child. Although one piece of fruit with pesticides won’t kill you, if they build up in your body, they can be potentially detrimental to your health and should be avoided as much as possible. (source) Since most of us can’t afford a diet of organic, locally-grown pesticide-free food, the Environmental Working Group came up with an annual list that can help you decide what to buy conventional and what to buy organic. Here were some of their most important findings this year: More than one-third of strawberry samples analyzed in 2016 contained 10 or more pesticide residues and breakdown products. More than 98 percent of samples of strawberries, peaches, potatoes, nectarines, cherries and apples tested positive for residue of at least one pesticide. Spinach samples had, on average, almost twice as much pesticide residue by weight compared to any other crop. Avocados and sweet corn were the cleanest. Less than 1 percent of samples showed any detectable pesticides. More than 80 percent of pineapples, papayas, asparagus, onions and cabbages had no pesticide residues. No single fruit sample from the Clean Fifteen tested positive for more than four pesticides. Read on for the EWG’s lists. The Dirty Dozen: These are the most contaminated foods When you go shopping, you should look for the organic version of these foods. The conventional varieties have the highest levels of pesticides that you’ll find. Strawberries Spinach Nectarines Apples Grapes Peaches Cherries Pears Tomatoes Celery Potatoes Sweet bell peppers The Clean 15: These are the less contaminated foods The Clean 15 list suggests the produce that is least likely to contain pesticide residue. However, if you’re avoiding GMOs, it’s important to note that this list does not take genetic modification into account – this is only about pesticides.

Avocados

Sweet corn

Pineapple

Cabbage

Onions

Frozen sweet peas

Papaya

Asparagus

Mangoes

Eggplant

Honeydew melon

Kiwi

Cantaloupe

Cauliflower

Broccoli

But many “experts” are saying we should ignore the Dirty Dozen list. Sadly, many people touted as nutrition experts say that the lists aren’t relevant. Here’s what some of them had to say. “Pro-choice” nutritionist Toby Amidor wrote: These “shoppers’ guides” are a disservice to consumers and confusing because they are not based upon sound science and are often in direct conflict…Among the key findings, misleading messaging which inaccurately describes certain fruits and vegetables as having “higher” pesticide residues results in low-income shoppers reporting that they would be less likely to purchase any fruits and vegetables – organic or conventional. There is a plethora of research which shows eating any form of fruit and vegetables provides more health benefits than skipping them altogether. (source) Carl K. Winter, PhD, food toxicologist and vice chair of food science and technology at the University of California Davis: [Winter] says the amounts of pesticides found on produce are ”tiny”…Based on the report, he says, “I worry that people are becoming concerned when they should not be.” (source) The Alliance for Food and Farming (AFF) says that the EWG’s conclusions are “unsupportable”: A University of California toxicology analysis found that a child could eat hundreds to thousands of servings of a fruit or vegetable in a day and still not have any effects from pesticide residues. This shows how minute residues are, if present at all. According to the FDA, washing produce under running tap water can reduce and often eliminate pesticide residues, if they are present at all. Scientists and health experts have urged consumers not to rely on this type of list to make produce shopping choices since these lists are not science-based and often provide contrasting recommendations. (source) Teresa Thorne, executive director of the Alliance for Food and Farming, an industry group representing farmers who grow both organic and conventional fruits and vegetables: [Thorne] says ”the report is not science-based.” She points out that much of the research finding benefits to a diet rich in fruits and vegetables has been done on conventionally grown produce, not organic. (source) I think the potential bias with the “Alliance for Food and Farmers” is obvious. So what’s a shopper to do? First of all, we each have to try and provide the best nutrition possible for our families while remaining within our budgets. (I wrote a popular article on making these decisions that you can find right here.) However, I sincerely believe that avoiding pesticides as much as possible is extremely important. I use the Dirty Dozen and Clean 15 guide for my own family when making choices about what to purchase at the grocery store. Pesticides are, by their very nature, poison. Why on earth would I deliberately feed them to my children? Pesticides aren’t the only concern out there in Groceryland, so I recommend avoiding them whenever possible.

Amazon gets on the pre-built blockchain train

Online retail giant launches a ‘blockchain-as-a-service’ platform, joining other tech majors rushing to roll out free-to-download template solutions

By Luke Thompson April 24, 2018 6:14 PM (UTC+8)

This year should go down in history as the year of the blockchain. In 2017 crypto-currencies and blockchain businesses emerged. This year they literally took off. To stay up with the tech times, major companies are now investing resources into blockchain-based solutions and services. Online retail giant Amazon is the latest to jump on the blockchain bandwagon with the launch of its own Amazon Web Services (AWS) ‘blockchain-as-a-service’ platform last week. The system will enable developers to set up their own blockchain-based projects by using pre-designed templates. The firm’s cloud computing division is going into direct competition with similar offerings from the likes of Oracle and IBM. Using two different platforms, AWS will enable users to access a pre-built blockchain framework upon which to expand their projects. The technology choice will be Ethereum, which currently powers the majority of new blockchain projects and initial coin offerings, and Hyperledger Fabric, an open source blockchain development solution developed by the Linux Foundation. Using pre-built templates gives companies an edge on rolling out blockchain projects faster. However they will still need some in-house technical expertise since it is a certainly more involved than setting up an email server or building a website. A guide to how to get started has been posted on the company blog but it is likely that most small to medium enterprises are simply not yet ready to deploy this technology for mainstream operations. Many will still be running decade-old operating systems on their office computers, so Amazon’s offerings seem, for now at least, to be another way of keeping up with the Joneses. Crypto-currency has gone way beyond virtual money over the past year and a number of communities and companies also offer similar services on which they base the value of their digital tokens. EOS market capitalization currently sits just over $11 billion, which makes it the fifth largest altcoin. Just like Ethereum, the community provides a type of operating system upon which decentralized applications (dApps) can be built. The network is highly scalable and provides accounts, authentication, databases, asynchronous communication and the scheduling of applications across multiple computers. Berlin-based Lisk is another blockchain development provider which uses a Javascript model to allow companies to build and deploy blockchain applications. Chinese based Neo has its own version of the development platform, Japan has Cardano, and South Korea is in there with Icon, so there is no shortage of blockchain solutions. The list of companies flocking towards the technology in an effort to gain an edge on their competitors is growing. In China, where crypto-currency exchanges are currently banned, Huawei, Baidu and Tencent already have their own blockchain platforms and it is likely that Alibaba will not be far behind. There are a number of advantages in using a decentralized solution over a centralized one owned by a mega-corporation. The Amazon system is free to download but the tech giant will still charge for and control cloud-based services needed to run projects built on AWS, and this seems to be where its interests lie with this offering. Please contact us with feedback, news or stories. thechain@atimes.com

Military dismantling Cold War radar systems in Ore.

MOSCOW, Maine -- It's a dinosaur of the Cold War: a 3-mile-long radar system designed to detect Soviet bombers screaming across the Atlantic. The Over-The-Horizon Backscatter Radar, often described as the world's largest radar, was developed over 25 years for $1.5 billion etc.. etc.. it could monitor a massive swath of ocean and warn of threats nearly 2,000 miles away. etc.. Built in both Maine and Oregon, the radars picked up readings as far as 1,700 miles off both coasts. Built in both Maine and Oregon, the radars picked up readings as far as 1,700 miles off both coasts. etc.. and the news article ends with this... The backscatter radars bounced a beam off the ionosphere, which sends a scattered signal back to the Earth's surface. They were so sensitive, they could detect changes in ocean currents, a useful tool for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which debated acquiring the radars for research.

Gog, Magog, Russia, Syria and the Biblical End Times

By Billy Hallowell , Pureflix.com | Apr 22, 2018 6:21 PM

Are we living in the biblical end times? That's a question that has consistently emerged over the past two millennia, with scores of Christians wondering when Jesus' second coming will unfold. It's a topic that famed Christian author Joel Rosenberg has often discussed, as the prophecy expert routinely shares what he believes the Bible says about the end of days. Rosenberg, author of the new book, "The Kremlin Conspiracy," said during a recent appearance on PureFlix.com's "Pure Talk" that he believes humanity technically entered the last days once Jesus came, died, rose and set the gospel message into motion. While Rosenberg said the Bible tells us not to date-set, he pointed to signs that he believes indicate that humanity is moving further toward the fulfillment of biblical prophecy. "I don't know when, I don't have a date ... but if you look at all the prophecies ... one wonders," he said. "You see a lot of global chaos ... more Christians have been slaughtered in the last century than at any other time in human history — and that's saying something, because we've been often slaughtered." Watch Rosenberg explain why he believes humanity is living in the end of days: It was rebirth of Israel in 1948, though, that Rosenberg believes is quite significant, as he called it one of the "main prophecies" in the Old Testament, pointing back to Ezekiel 36-39 as one of the places where Israel's re-emergence is prophesied. Rosenberg also addressed claims that "Gog of the land of Magog" referenced in Ezekiel was forewarning of a leader from Russia. Based on his reading of the text, Rosenberg explained what his interpretation of the still-unfulfilled events would be. "The one-day, future evil leader of Russia is going to form an alliance with Iran, Turkey and some other hostile countries to come and surround and attack Israel in the last days," Rosenberg said, adding that these events could still be hundreds of years away. That said, he believes Russia's activities in Syria and relations with other dangerous players like Iran and North Korea should raise some eyebrows. "I don't know what to make of it, but it's not good," he said. "Vladimir Putin is more dangerous to the United States and our way of life than radical Islam. And I don't think most Americans process it that way." Regardless of what happens, Rosenberg said that it's essential for Christians to pray for peace in Jerusalem and the surrounding nations and lands. He also encouraged Christians to step in and, when possible, help deliver humanitarian relief to those impacted by the chaos and carnage currently raging in the Middle East.

The 'End of the World' Is Today. Here's Why We're Still Here.

By Jeanna Bryner, Live Science Managing Editor | April 23, 2018 06:46am ET

Today is the day. It's the beginning of the end, according to practiced doomsday diviner David Meade. On April 23, 2018, Meade says, the sun, the moon and Jupiter will line up in the constellation Virgo (in actuality, they will not be in that constellation) — an alignment that has biblical disaster written all over it. In the Bible, Revelation 12:1-2 speaks of a "woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head," who labors to give birth to a dictator who will ultimately bring about the world's end. Meade did a lot of numerical and cosmic gymnastics to come up with today's apocalypse — one that, of course, will not come to be. The same passage used for today's prediction was also the basis for Meade's end-of-the-world prediction last year, when he said the sky would essentially fall on Sept. 23. It did not. [End of the World? Top 10 Doomsday Threats] And, in fact, his current forecast seems to have long roots: Baptist preacher William Miller made multiple failed doomsday predictions, and one of them was for April 23, 1843. Sadly, perhaps for Meade, the planet Jupiter will appear not in Virgo but in the constellation Libra from Earth's perspective; the sun will appear to align with Aries, while the moon will lurk in the constellation Gemini today, according to The Sky Live. This celestial alignment is, according to Meade, just the beginning of the cosmic catastrophe. From there, a rogue planet called Planet X will supposedly pass by Earth in October and cause a planetwide mess (worldwide volcanic eruptions) that will culminate in the return of Jesus Christ — also based on the Book of Revelation. There are a few problems with this part of the prediction. For one, Planet X, also called Nibiru, is fictional. And whereas scientists are looking for an Earth-size planet that they sometimes refer to as "Planet X" or "Planet Nine," this is a different world altogether from the one described by Meade and others. Nibiru, in fact, is the baby of conspiracy theorist Nancy Lieder, who floated the idea in the 1990s. This rogue planet — a body that astronomers who stare at the skies, looking for actual alien worlds, would not miss — was the basis for the failed 2012 Maya apocalypse, among others. Besides Nibiru being a made-up world that has been debunked repeatedly, the Revelation passage also has some issues. "The author of Revelation was wrong in his predictions, so neither this book nor any other ancient book is of much relevance for predicting the future," Allen Kerkeslager, a professor of ancient and comparative religion at St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia, told Live Science earlier this month. All this is to say, the doomsday prediction is bogus. Happy Monday. Original article on Live Science.

Algeria Launches Crackdown on Christians, Shuttering Churches

04-19-2018 CBN News

Authorities in the north African nation of Algeria are closing churches in an attempt to curtail the activities of minority Christians in this Muslim-majority nation. In the past several months, three congregations associated with the Protestant Church of Algeria were shut down after authorities allege the structures didn't meet certain building safety codes. Mohamed Aissa, Algeria's ministry of religious affairs, claims the churches were closed because they "did not meet the standards required of a place of worship." "When a place of worship is built without any notice showing it's a place of worship, which may enable the state to protect it, this place must be closed," Aissa said during an interview with a pro-government television station. A fourth church in Akbou, a town in northern Algeria which has been operating without any government interference for more than six years, was also closed. Aissa insists the government isn't just targeting Christians. "The institutions that were closed have been closed down because they were built without complying with the regulations of the Republic," Aissa alleges, adding that even mosques that don't comply will be affected. Still, an official with the Protestant Church of Algeria told World Watch Monitor that 25 churches affiliated with the organization have received building standard compliance notifications from the government in the past few months. Human rights groups say a law passed in 2006 regulating the religious activity of non-Muslims has only made life more challenging for Christians and other minority faith groups. "It is an unjust law against Christians, who are denied their right to worship and the opportunity to share the Gospel freely," a local Protestant leader said. He added that "the situation of Christians in Algeria will not improve until the outright law, which is no longer justified, is repealed." Open Doors, a group that puts a spotlight on religious freedom abuses around the world, has listed Algeria among the top 50 countries where it is dangerous to be a follower of Christ. "Christians in Algeria suffer from various restrictions and challenges imposed by both the state and society," said Open Doors, "Laws regulating non-Muslim worship, banning conversion and prohibiting blasphemy make proselytizing and public expression of the Christian faith dangerous." Muslims who convert to Christianity often face the most persecution from the government and radical Islamic groups. "Muslim background believers {MBBs) face isolation and shame, often leading to financial hardships, and in areas where extremists are, physical injuries and even death," said Open Doors on its website. "When officials or secret police discover MBBs' places of gathering and worship, they often destroy any means of coming together to be the church and, in turn, prevent the encouragement that comes from worshiping with a body of believers of one mind and heart." There are approximately 68,500 Christians among Algeria's estimated population of 40 million. The rest are Muslim.

Trump dials up cell use as mystery phone spy devices spotted around D.C.

04.24.18 By Steven Melendez2 minute Read

President Trump is using his personal cellphone more heavily lately to contact friends and informal advisors outside the White House, according to CNN, raising fresh doubts about White House Chief of Staff John Kelly’s ability to control access to the president, and new security questions too. “He may be keeping things from his chief of staff, but he will elicit the interest of foreign intelligence services,” former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told CNN’s Don Lemon. “This is potentially a gold mine of intelligence for them. Even if he is using some kind of secure app, there’s all kinds of inferential things you can derive from the fact he’s doing that … even if you don’t get the content.” The vulnerability of Trump’s personal phone coincides with a persistent threat: Just this month, the  While they are increasDepartment of Homeland Security confirmed that it’s spotted unauthorized cell-site simulators, also known as IMSI catchers or Stingrays, around Washington, D.C. The devices–which can cost from $1,000 to about $200,000 and are commonly the size of a briefcase–imitate cell towers, enticing phones to connect to them, which can allow a user to locate the phone or even potentially spy on calls and texts.ingly used clandestinely by law enforcement–who are the only authorized users by U.S. law–it’s unclear who’s operating the devices around Washington, or where they are even precisely located. The mystery dates back at least to 2014, when researchers detected suspected unauthorized devices near locations like the White House, the Supreme Court, the Commerce Department and the Pentagon. Many foreign embassies are also thought to operate their own powerful cell tower simulators. In a March 26 letter, DHS Acting Undersecretary Christopher Krebs told Senator Ron Wyden that unauthorized Stingrays present “safety, economic and privacy risks.” In response, House Reps Frank Pallone (D-NJ), Eliot Engel (D-NY), and Bennie Thompson (D-MS) sent a letter this month to FCC chair Ajit Pai asking him to “address the prevalence of what could be hostile, foreign cell-site simulators, or Stingrays, surveilling Americans in the nation’s Capital.” Back in January, security concerns prompted Kelly to ban the use of personal cell phones for West Wing staffers, over objections by some that they’d be cut off from children and other family members during the busy workday. (Secret Service-issued phones are not intended for personal use, and can’t accommodate texting.) “The security and integrity of the technology systems at the White House is a top priority for the Trump administration and therefore starting next week the use of all personal devices for both guests and staff will no longer be allowed in the West Wing,” press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement at the time. Not much concrete detail has been released about the phone Trump is currently using, or what security measures may be employed when he uses it. Former President Barack Obama used a BlackBerry with special security enhancements while he was in office. Last year, Trump was reported by Axios to have switched from an Android phone to an iPhone with only one app installed: Twitter.

GOLD SHOULD BE $16,450 & SILVER $761

April 19, 2018 by Egon von Greyerz

The super powers in the West are doing what they can to provoke Russia and indirectly China and Iran into a world war. Most people alive today were not adults when WWII started and therefore did not follow the lead up to the war. But today the whole world can watch how the West has chosen to attack a country which has no major significance geopolitically and does not threaten any other country. Still the West clearly knows that bombing of Syria can start a global conflict with potentially horrendous consequences. There is no intelligent reporting of these events in the Western media. Whatever propaganda the media is fed, they just publish it without any analysis or investigation. And the US with its allies do not wait for any independent verification of alleged use of chemical weapons. That a world war could start on such fickle reasoning is absolutely frightening. UK & US starts a war to divert attention from domestic woes Syria is of course only an excuse. As a country it would be of no consequence for the safety of the rest of the world if it was left alone. Most wars are started by nations which are under economic pressure domestically. The US and UK fit that picture perfectly. With debts growing exponentially and massive budget and trade deficits, both these countries are on the way to bankruptcy. Added to that, their leaders are under major pressure at home. Trump has “Deep State” and impeachment pressures and Theresa May suffers from weak leadership in a minority government with an unresolved Brexit. This is the perfect background for pretending that there is a major global conflict and diverting the attention to the international scene. It is only Russia’s restraint which has so far stopped this conflict from turning into something very serious for the world. We must remember that Russia only has two military bases outside of their country whilst the US has around 1,000. Also, according to independent experts, Russia’s military might is far superior to that of the US. But in the case of a nuclear war, both countries have more than enough power to destroy the world. So we must hope and pray that it won’t come to that. Protect against financial risks Virtually nobody can protect against a global nuclear conflict. But we can protect against local conflicts and we can protect against a financial crisis. In 2001 we decided as a company that protection against a potential financial crisis was an absolute necessity. Thus we took the decision to invest in physical gold for our clients and ourselves. At the time, I regarded the continuous deficit spending, credit growth and the derivative time bomb as major risks. The best time to make a strategic and long-term investment decision is when the asset you intend to buy is unloved and undervalued. That was certainly the case with gold at the time. Gold had been going down for 19 years from $850 in 1980 to a low of $250 in 1999. Central banks around the world had been selling a major part of their gold. The UK and Switzerland comes to mind as two countries selling the majority of their gold around the lows – a very good buying signal. As we were forecasting a potential financial crisis at some point in the future, we recommended, in early 2002 to our investors to buy gold for up to 50% of their financial assets. Gold was then $300. At the time this was quite a radical proposition, especially since gold was then a barbarous relic that was totally out of fashion. The advantage with buying an undervalued asset that is not on the front pages, is that the risk is so much smaller than when the trade becomes crowded. Gold ready for the next strong move up The timing was quite fortunate. As the chart below shows, gold rose every year from $300 in 2002 to $1,920 in 2011. In 2013 a bigger correction started which ended in 2015. Since then gold has only moved up slowly just like it did in 1999-2001. In my opinion, gold is now in the process of breaking out from the 5 year consolidation. We need to get proper confirmation with a move to $1,400 but the position of the quarterly chart confirmed by the rising MACD indicator is a strong sign that the next move in gold to new highs is imminent. The chart below also shows that gold is in a strong uptrend and that the correction in the last 5 years is minor and finishing. Physical gold is held for wealth preservation not for speculation We must remember that gold is not bought or held as a conventional investment for capital appreciation purposes. No, gold has a much more important function than that. Our company invested in gold in 2002 because we identified the risks in the financial system as very high. But today the risks are substantially higher and the reason for buying physical gold even more compelling. WE BUY PHYSICAL GOLD BECAUSE:

It has been money for 5,000 years

It is the only money which has survived throughout history.

It guarantees stable purchasing power over time.

It is scarce – It cannot be printed. (Unlimited paper gold creation will soon collapse.)

It is durable – All the gold ever produced still exists.

It is nobody else’s liability – Thus no counterparty risk.

It is held and traded outside a fragile financial system – Thus gives independence.

It is the ultimate wealth preservation asset and insurance against a rotten world economy.

It might appear that I am a gold bug but that is far from the case. We bought gold in 2002 to protect against the colossal risks we saw in the world economy and financial system. We are not in love with gold but believe that it is the best protection you can buy and own today. At some point gold will be overloved and overvalued. Then we will recommend to our investors to sell some of their gold or swap it against other assets which are unloved and undervalued. But I expect that time to be quite a few years away. Inflation adjusted gold should be $16,450 and Silver $761 Today at $1,350, gold is as unloved and undervalued as it was when we bought in 2002 at $300. On an real inflation adjusted basis gold at $1,350 today is at the same level as in 2002. (see chart below) and also at a 300 year low. The 1980 gold peak at $850, adjusted for inflation, would be $16,450 in today’s money – 12x higher than currently. That price is more in line with our own targets. Silver is even more undervalued. On the same inflation adjusted basis, silver is also at a 300 year low. At $17.20 today, inflation adjusted silver is the same as in 2000 at around $4. And the 1980 silver high of $50 would today be $761 – a 44x increase from here. Gold at $16,450 and silver at $761, makes the gold-silver ratio 22, which is in line with historical levels. But since the ratio is just below 79 today, it means that silver will move almost 4x as fast as gold. Gold and Silver are at historical lows – inflation adjusted Bearing in mind that credit creation has been exponential in this century with global debt having doubled to $250 trillion since 2006, gold has in no way reflected this money printing and total destruction of paper money. So this is still to come. Once the intervention in the paper market fails, which could happen at any time, the moves in gold and silver will be explosive. The time to own physical gold and silver is today and not when they move to new highs. Both metals are at inflation adjusted historical lows and the downside risk is minimal. Also, they probably are the most undervalued of all assets currently. With geopolitical, economic and financial risks at an extreme high, please don’t ignore these risks and don’t ignore history. And with the precious metals at extreme lows, it would be very unwise not to own substantial protection in the form of physical gold and silver.

Russia raises questions on Skripal poisoning

Moscow says it has proof that the agent used in the UK attack is a chemical weapon patented in the US

By M.K. Bhadrakumar April 19, 2018 6:10 PM (UTC+8)

The sensational case of the poisoning of the ex-MI6 agent and former Russian military intelligence colonel, Sergei Skripal on March 4 in Salisbury, UK, is becoming curiouser and curiouser. Moscow is strongly refuting British allegations of Russian involvement in the poisoning of Skripal. An engrossing plot in big-power politics is also unfolding. There is stuff here for a Le Carre novel. Are we witnessing a replay of the false flag Gulf of Tonkin attack of August 1964, the imaginary “incident” concocted by the US military to provide legal and political justification for deploying American forces in South Vietnam and for commencing open warfare against North Vietnam? To recap, Britain alleged a military grade nerve agent of a type known as Novichok was used in Salisbury. It was originally developed in the former Soviet Union, and, therefore, Moscow’s hand – possibly, even President Vladimir Putin’s hand – was “highly likely”. Moscow has maintained, on the other hand, that it had destroyed all its chemical weapons and said the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) investigation verified this. The British allegation quickly morphed into a large-scale expulsion of Russian diplomats (over 100 of them) by western capitals, under heavy pressure from Washington and London. The US alone expelled 60 Russian diplomats, while Britain expelled 23. Britain is studiously ignoring the Russian requests for samples of the chemical agent used in the Salisbury attack and for giving consular access to the ex-spy’s daughter Yulia. Meanwhile, Britain instead approached the OPCW to investigate. The OPCW has refused to confirm or deny the country of origin of the chemical agent used in the Salisbury attack. There is egg on PM Theresa May’s face. On April 18, Moscow disclosed that it has handed over to the OPCW alleged proof that the Novichok agent purportedly used in the Salisbury attack actually happens to be patented as a chemical weapon in 2015 in the US and produced in that country. (By the way, unlike Russia, the US is yet to destroy its chemical weapon stockpiles, as required under the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1997.) Now, not only the British government but Washington too has some explaining to do. Participating in the BBC’s Hard Talk program this week with Stephen Sacker, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov punched hard, saying “‘highly likely’ is a new invention of British diplomacy to describe why they punish people – because these people are ‘highly likely’ guilty. Like in ‘Alice in Wonderland’ by Lewis Carroll when he described a trial… and the King said: ‘Let’s ask the jury’ and the Queen shouted: ‘No jury! Sentence first! Verdict afterwards!’ That’s the logic of ‘highly likely.’” Britain is steadily edging away from the Skripal case, hoping, perhaps, that the matter will die down. But will Moscow let Britain off the hook? The Russians also seem to be holding back on some explosive information pointing toward alleged complicity by the US in this affair. Simply put, could the Salisbury attack have been an Anglo-American joint covert operation undertaken with the ulterior motive to ratchet up tensions between the West and Russia? Indeed, it meshed well with the Russia-collusion campaign against Trump. The Washington Post reported on Monday that the former National Security Advisor HR McMaster might have hoodwinked President Donald Trump into approving the expulsion under the wrong notion that similar numbers of expulsions by European allies was in the pipeline. In the event though, the Europeans made only token expulsions. Earlier, McMaster tried to stop Trump from congratulating Putin on his big victory in the Russian election on March 18 in a phone conversation (where they discussed a possible summit meeting in a near future). If the Skripal incident was McMaster’s swan song, the indefatigable Russophobe probably hoped to kill two birds with one stone – push Russia’s relations with the West to a crisis point and second, scotch the prospects of an early US-Russia presidential summit. How far all this is linked to Trump’s decision on March 22, finally, to sack McMaster as National Security Advisor is a moot question. By the standards of military people, McMaster has the reputation of being an “intellectual” but the man proved to be a Cold Warrior fit for a museum. The one-star general who was overlooked for promotion by the Pentagon was Trump’s default choice following the abrupt departure of Michael Flynn as National Security Advisor. Michael Wolff narrates a hilarious episode in his book Fire and Fury that during the job interview for National Security Advisor, McMaster tried to impress Trump when he showed up wearing a uniform with his silver star and launched into a wide-ranging lecture on global strategy. Afterward, Trump reportedly remarked, “That guy bores the shit out of me.”

Experts warn one of the 'most active and dangerous' faults in the US is a 'tectonic TIME BOMB' that could kill hundreds if it produced a major quake in the San Francisco Bay Area

USGS examined devastation that would occur in a M7.0 quake at Hayward fault

The hypothetical earthquake would cause roughly 800 deaths in the region

There would be roughly 18,000 injuries and, nearly 25,000 trapped people

The experts say Hayward last produced a major quake 150 years ago, in 1868

Its most recent major events were separated by 150 years, with some variation

By Cheyenne Macdonald For Dailymail.com Published: 17:36 EDT, 18 April 2018 | Updated: 17:51 EDT, 18 April 2018

A 52-mile fault running through a region of San Francisco Bay populated by more than 7 million people is lying in wait like a ‘tectonic time bomb,’ experts warn. An unsettling new study led by the US Geological Survey has examined the devastation that would ensue if a magnitude 7.0 earthquake were to occur along the Hayward fault. While the San Andreas fault may be better known, USGS warns Hayward ‘is among the most active and dangerous in the United States.’ In the scenario, they found that the hypothetical quake would cause roughly 800 deaths in the region, and an additional 18,000 injuries – and, nearly 25,000 trapped people would have to be rescued from collapsed buildings and stalled elevators. The terrifying estimates come from the USGS’s ‘HayWired earthquake scenario,’ which was conducted in effort to help cities better prepare for a real disaster. Over the last 1,900 years, Hayward produced ‘major prehistoric earthquakes’ roughly every 100-220 years, with the 12 most recent major quakes occurring at intervals of about 150 years, with some variation, according to USGS. And, the last was a magnitude 6.8 quake in 1868. Given its history, experts say another huge event could essentially happen at any time. ‘The fault is what we sort of call a tectonic time bomb,’ USGS earthquake geologist emeritus David Schwartz told the LA Times. ‘It’s just waiting to go off.’ According to the analysis, several East Bay cities would be hit by ‘violent ground shaking’ if the epicenter of the M7.0 earthquake were beneath Oakland. In Oakland, Berkeley, San Leandro, and Hayward, the ground could suddenly move as much as 6 feet as the opposite sides of the fault shift. The entire Bay Area would feel strong shaking, and sandy soils would be come liquid-like. According to USGS, aftershocks could continue to spring up for years after the fact, potentially bringing a magnitude 6.4 in Santa Clara County, near San Jose. The property damage would hit more than $82 billion, the experts say, destroying about 77,000 -152,000 households and displacing roughly 411,000 people. Water distribution in the area would be disrupted as well, causing residents to lose water service for anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months. And, the quake could spark hundreds of gas- and electric-related fires. Hundreds would be killed as a result of the mainshock, and there would be roughly 18,000 nonfatal injuries. While the scenario is worrying, the researchers say preparation could dramatically reduce these numbers. A 52-mile fault running through a region of San Francisco Bay populated by more than 7 million people is lying in wait like a ‘tectonic time bomb.' While the San Andreas fault may be better known, USGS warns Hayward ‘is among the most active and dangerous in the United States’

IS CALIFORNIA AT RISK OF A DEVASTATING MEGAQUAKE? A recent report from the U.S. Geological Survey has warned the risk of 'the big one' hitting California has increased dramatically. Researchers analysed the latest data from the state's complex system of active geological faults, as well as new methods for translating these data into earthquake likelihoods. The estimate for the likelihood that California will experience a magnitude 8 or larger earthquake in the next 30 years has increased from about 4.7% to about 7.0%, they say. 'We are fortunate that seismic activity in California has been relatively low over the past century,' said Tom Jordan, Director of the Southern California Earthquake Center and a co-author of the study. Shown above is the chance of an earthquake across California over the next 30 years 'But we know that tectonic forces are continually tightening the springs of the San Andreas fault system, making big quakes inevitable.' Seismologist Lucy Jones from the US Geological Survey warned recently that people need to accept the fact catastrophe is imminent, and prepare themselves accordingly. Dr Jones said our decision to not accept it will only mean more people suffer as scientists warn the 'Big One' is now overdue to hit California. Dr Jones, who is from the US Geological Survey said there are three key reasons why the peril is so frightening - it cannot be seen, it is uncertain and it seems unknowable. This means people bury their heads in the sand and pretend it won't happen. With early warning systems such as the recently tested ShakeAlert, and the use of the ‘Drop, Cover, and Hold On’ tactic, USGS says as many as 1,500 injuries could be prevented. The new report, the experts say, can help both the state and residents prepare for disaster before one strikes. ‘The HayWired report provides a thorough, comprehensive analysis of the potential impact of a large-scale earthquake in the Bay Area,’ said Ryan Arba, from the Earthquake and Tsunami Program within the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services. ‘The State of California and its local partners have been preparing for decades; however, there is always more that we can do.’

Number of U.S. Students in Special Education Ticks Upward

In fall 2017, about 50.7 million students will attend public elementary and secondary schools – 1 in 5 school-age children covered under the IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) nationwide . The count of students ages 6-21 with disabilities fell to a low of 5.67 million in fall 2011, but had risen to 5.83 million by fall 2014, the most recent year for which statistics are available. A third of the nationwide increase in 2014-15 came from one state, New York. The reasons for the sharp increase in the state are not clear. (Those who are educated and aren’t financial Big pHARM puppets know the cause) But the numbers have real implications for states and localities, which pay by far the largest share of costs for special education students. Chart: U.S. Special Education Enrollment After a marked increase, the count of students ages 6-21 with disabilities peaked in the 2004-05 school year and then started going down. The past two years have seen an uptick, however, driven by students identified as having autism or “other health impairments.” The count had risen to 5.83 million by fall 2014, the most recent year for which statistics are available.

As a physician, I remember the Hippocratic oath, DO NOT HARM. When the ratio of normal to autism goes from 1 out of 250,000 to 1 out of 50, with the only variable I can see is the vaccines. It is criminal to have this information and facts right in city square, and the powers that be, deny it even exists. The question is do the powers that be vaccinate their children? I have heard that the powers that be falsify their childrens’ records, put in false vaccine information, and they then take it to the schools and say, see, my child is up to date, yet, they never even took any of vaccines. As this is second maybe third or more information, I do not know what is true, However, I do know that some health care workers commonly do this for the required work vaccines. The vaccines are poison, and that is one form of following the French underground rules during world war 2. admin on 04/19/2018

It’s estimated that at least 400 U.S. doctors kill themselves every year. After a few cases of vaccine injury, no matter how brain washed they are, they must know. Trapped in a system – six figure medical school debt – they are a cog in the killing machine. If you have power and money – laws don’t apply.

Vaccines are the great equalizer. I remember reading in the 1980’s on the utopia of equality – the best ballerinas would be fitted with sandbags, so everyone would be equal.

Pentagon Warns Of 'Blatantly False' MSM Report As Fake News Warnings Comes From Strange Source

By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine April 18, 2018

2017 was a brutal year for the mainstream media, with multiple outlets busted publishing outright fake news, from ABC News tanking the stock market resulting in the suspension of Brian Ross, to CNN forcing the resignation of three employees, all for "reporting" inaccurate stories that had to be retracted. Then there were other fake MSM stories which didn't result in suspensions or firings, such as the now-infamous CNN claim that Donald Trump Jr. recieved access to Wikileaks documents, which other news outlets gleefully jumped on, just to find out that the date their "sources" gave them was 10 days off and the documents had already been public when Don Jr. received an email about it from some small donor. Another CNN example was when they reported an "exclusive" claiming former FBI Director James Comey was going to "refute" President Trump's claim that he was told personally by Comey, three times, he was not under investigation. They had to re-title that piece and change the entire story after Comey's prepared statement was released where he confirmed President Trump's assertions. Washington Post, NYT, and a variety of other outlets have continuosly been busted over the past year pushing completely false information to the public. Note - Each aforementioned example is sourced and linked for those that still do not understand how badly the press have behaved over the last year. NEW FAKE NEWS WARNING COMES FROM A STRANGE SOURCE Each of the examples above included unnamed or anonymous "sources," which turned out to be completely wrong, and the latest warning about "inaccurate" aka fake news, comes directly after news outlet McClatchy claimed, using two unnamed sources of course, that Robert Mueller had "evidence Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, visited Prague in the summer of 2016." That was a claim originally made in the unverified, Kremlin sourced, Steele dossier that was funded by the Hillary Clinton Campaign and the DNC. The claim that Cohen visited Prague in the summer of 2016, was determined to have referenced another Michael Cohen, as multiple different outlets confirmed back in January 2017. BuzzFeed obtained the passport images of the Michael Cohen associated with president Trump, MediaIte at the time highlighted that even CNN's anti-Trump Jake Tapper had confirmed "People tried to run that down and concluded it was a different Michael Cohen. It was a Michael Cohen with a passport from another country, same birth year, different birth date." Elaina Plott, writer for The Atlantic and Washtonian, reported "Two USC baseball sources confirm for me that @MichaelCohen212 + son visited campus on August 29th, time report places him in Prague." That was confirmed by The Atlantic's WH correspondent, Rosie Gray. One intrepid Twitter user even hunted through Cohen's Twitter feed because he geotags many of his tweets, and found that the Cohen associated with Trump was indeed in New York, and Los Angeles, throughout August 2016, according to those geotags. (Geotag: an electronic tag that assigns a geographical location to a photograph or video, a posting on a social media website) Now more than a year after those claims were made, then debunked, even by liberal media Trump-hating outlets, Mcclatchy claims they have "two sources familiar with the matter," unnamed, that Mueller's team has "has evidence that Donald Trump’s personal lawyer and confidant, Michael Cohen, secretly made a late-summer trip to Prague during the 2016 presidential campaign."  Three days later, no outlet could confirm the report, but many repeated McClatchy's report. The Daily Caller obtained a statement from a spokesperson for the special counsel’s office, who did not address the specific report, but did offer a warning: “What I have been telling all reporters is that many stories about our investigation have been inaccurate. Be very cautious about any source that claims to have knowledge about our investigation and dig deep into what they claim before reporting on it,” the spokesperson said. “If another outlet reports something, don’t run with it unless you have your own sourcing to back it up.” The Washington Times has confirmed the statement from the spokesperson.  The Daily Caller goes on to provide three other examples of the same McClatchy writers reporting "inaccurate" information that could not be confirmed, which also used the same terminology of "two sources familiar" with the individual topic matters. According to Raw Story, a far left liberal website who quotes the Daily Caller statement from the Mueller spokesperson, that man is Peter Carr, which makes the fake news warning strange on a number of levels. First, the timing of the warning so soon after the McClatchy story, from Mueller's team which is known for being closed-mouthed with the press, and has not to date refuted or confirmed any rumor, chatter, or reports regarding the Russia probe. When ABC News' Brian Ross incorrectly reported that Michael Flynn was prepared to testify that Trump "directed him to make contact with the Russians," which is the story that tanked the stock market, caused ABC to issue multiple clarifications, then corrections, and to suspend Brian Ross, Mueller's team did not offer a statement one way or another, simply allowed the chips to fall. Second, the spokesperson named by Raw Story, is quite literally known as "Mr. No Comment," as detailed in a piece on Carr by the Salt Lake Tribune last Sunday. SLT describes Carr as "The most quoted person saying absolutely nothing. And that’s by design." “In recent weeks,” the story explained, “Carr has declined to comment on everything from the scope and progress of Mueller’s investigation to the reason why his office — relocated this summer from a publicly disclosed site near FBI headquarters — is now secret.” For team Mueller to publicly make a statement, some type of truly egregious reporting had to have caught their attention, and the only high profile report in the last few days about the Russia probe has been the McClatchy report, which even Benjamin Wittes from Lawfare urges people to be "cautious" of unless it can be independently confirmed. NYT ACCUSED BY THE PENTAGON OF 'BLATANTLY FALSE' REPORT Since we are highlighting "fake news," we also note that while the Pentagon did not use the term "fake news," according to the AFP and other outlets, they are calling a New York Times claim, using unnamed sources yet again, "blatantly false." Confirmation of the AFP report via Washington Examiner: The Pentagon Wednesday strongly denied a New York Times story that said Defense Secretary Jim Mattis urged President Trump to get congressional approval before launching cruise missiles toward Syria last week, but was overruled by the president. The story is "blatantly false,” said Dana White, the Pentagon’s chief spokesperson, in an email to the Washington Examiner. BOTTOM LINE Independent Media has consistently warned readers to always take news using anonymous or unnamed sources with a grain of salt, to always question the official narrative, and to research every item of news independently. It is why we link heavily to a variety of sources, both liberal and conservative, so readers can have a starting point for their research, and come to their own conclusions. With the examples above, and the horrendously bad reporting, much of which ended up being literal "fake news," from the MSM in 2017, is it any wonder that 77 percent of Americans believe the mainstream media reports "fake news," as found by the most recent Monmouth University poll? 31 percent believe the media does so regularly, and 46 percent say it occurs occasionally. Below Hannity discusses the most recent attacks against him as he points out the hypocrisy and failures of the MSM.  NOTE TO READERS: With digital media revenue spiraling downward, especially hitting those in Independent Media, where attacks from every direction continue to come unabated, it has become apparent that traditional advertising simply isn't going to fully cover the costs and expenses for many smaller independent websites. Any extra readers may be able to spare for donations is greatly appreciated.

Tom Horn’s “Blood On The Altar” Vision Has Arrived. It’s Time For Real Christians To Armor Up

April 19, 2018 by SkyWatch Editor

It’s time for Christians to armor up. It’s time for us all to recognize how serious the other side is to silence our message, to confine us, to restrict us, and eventually to exterminate us. We must push back hard against the darkness rather than meekly surrender. It’s past time for us to “take up the whole armor of God, that [we] may be able to stand firm in the evil day” (Ephesians 6:13). There no longer is any place in the body of Christ for the summer soldier and the sunshine patriot. It is an evil day, and we are fighting for everything that matters. (READ MORE)

CALL FOR LGBTQ AND ATHEISTS TO JOIN FORCES AGAINST CHRISTIANS

In her new book titled Queer disbelief: Why LGBTQ Is an Atheist Issue, author Camille Beredjick calls for atheists to unite with the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) community to fight their war together against Christians. A professed atheist and LGBTQ activist, Beredjick says that the two sides have much in common and are fighting a common enemy, reported PJMedia.com. Beredjick wrote about the fact that they have succeeded in suing Christians out of business for conducting business according to their religious beliefs, notably bakeries and florists who refuse to provide cakes and flowers for same sex weddings. Yes, atheists and the LGBTQ communities do have something very much in common, according to the Word of God; they are both servants of the devil (Leviticus 18:22; Psalms 9:17). I have recently written about the fact that Jesus said He would return at a time like the days of Lot, at a time when you will see “militant homosexuals.” “Likewise as it was in the days of Lot…but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, destroying them all. Even so shall it be in the day when the Son of man (Jesus) is revealed” Luke 17:28-30. What was happening in the days of Lot? Lot lived in Sodom, a city overtaken with homosexuality, as the city was named “Sodom.” The homosexuals were so militant, they demanded Lot send out two angels that were in his home, so they could rape them! The angels struck the homosexuals with blindness (Genesis 19) and then rescued Lot, his wife and daughters from the city before God rained fire and brimstone down on it, because of their perverse sins. Beredjick’s book essentially is a fulfillment of Bible prophecy, as are the lawsuits against Christian businesses for not planting two grooms, or two brides on top of their cakes, and for refusing to deliver flowers to gay weddings. We are living in the last of the last days, folks. The Word of God tells us to be “wise as serpents and harmless as doves” (Matthew 10:16). We are obviously not called to aggression; but on the other hand, we are not called to be doormats either. We must be harmless, but we also need to be as wise as a snake, or we could end up in serious trouble. It isn’t God’s will for His people to lose their businesses to the devil, so please take heed to what I am about to write here: If you own a bakery, by all means sell your cakes to anyone who wants one; everyone has to eat! On the other hand, you are not required to decorate it in a manner that goes against your faith in God and His Holy Word. Bake anyone a cake, but if they want you to plant two brides, or two grooms on it, you can tell them in advance you are not going to do that, but to save your business, offer to bake the cake! Offer to sell them bride and groom sets; it’s none of your business what they do with them, or if their hands put two brides on the cake. In this manner, you will not lose your business and you will be able to continue feeding your family. If your conscience will not allow you to do that, you need to sell your business, unless you might enjoy giving it to servants of the devil! The Apostle Paul provided an example that can be compared to this situation, about eating meats sacrificed to idols, which was forbidden by God (1 Corinthians 10:23-31). Florists, sell your flowers to anyone and everyone. It is none of your business what people do with the flowers after you sell them. If it bothers your conscience to sell them to someone that you know will use them for a gay wedding, sell your business and go into business doing something that will not compromise your faith and conscience. Ask God for guidance and He will direct your path, if you are obedient to His will. Now is the time for all Christians to sell businesses that might compromise their faith and conscience, or cause them to have to give their businesses to servants of the devil; now is the time! Definitely, if you own a bed and breakfast, hotel, motel or inn establishment, it is past the time to sell that business and get into a business where you are not going to facilitate fornicators and adulterers! You may be fond of your business, but guess what? You aren’t going to take it with you! Now is the time; we are living in the last of the last days. Be as the “sons of Issachar.” “The children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do…” 1 Chronicles 12:32 (emphasis added). It isn’t coincidental that as the angels of the Lord brought Lot, his wife and daughters out of the City of Sodom, the Lord told them, “Escape for your life; do not look behind you, neither stay in the plain; escape to the mountain, lest you be consumed” Genesis 19:17 (emphasis added). Please understand that Lot and his family were fleeing Sodom – it was time to escape the militant homosexuals and not look back! That time is right now for our generation. Sell those businesses that might compromise your faith and do not look back! From this point forward, things are only going to get worse, friends, much worse. Shortly after Jesus said He would return when the days become as the days of Lot, He also said, “Remember Lot’s wife” Luke 17:32. If you know the story, Lot’s wife looked back and she turned into a pillar of salt. Sell, and don’t look back, rather look up! “And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up and lift up your heads, for your redemption draws near” Luke 21:28 (emphasis added). Hundreds of Bible prophecies have been fulfilled and those remaining shall surely come to pass. Are you prepared to stand before God and give an account of the life you have lived on this earth (Revelation 20:12-15)? If not, salvation is only a prayer away. Please visit the How Can I Be Saved page – your eternal destiny depends on it. God bless you. During the persecutions of Protestants by the Roman Catholics in the valleys of Piedmont, during the Seventeenth Century, Paul Armand was hacked to pieces; a child named Daniel Bertino was burnt to death; Daniel Michialino had his tongue plucked out and was left to perish in that condition; and Andreo Bertino, a very old man who was lame, was mangled in a most shocking manner and at length had his belly ripped open and his bowels carried about on the point of a halbert. Excerpts taken from Fox’s Book of Martyrs – Zondervan Publishing House (1926) A few hundred years ago, Fox’s Book of Martyrs was chained to every pulpit, alongside the Holy Bible. I suppose people decided to turn their heads away from such violent crimes and become more “dignified.” We dishonor those who suffered by burying their testimonies and martyrdom. It also seems most churches today are too “dignified” for the Holy Spirit and fire, Who fell on the apostles of the early church (Acts 2)! The Catholic Church has never issued an apology for the crimes committed during the Inquisition and the brutal torture and murders of Protestant Christians, who denounced papal authority, denied Purgatory, the selling of indulgences in sin, the worship of idols, and prayers to the saints and the Virgin Mary. Neither has any reparation been made to the heirs of the saints who suffered such vile persecutions from the Catholic Church. Protestants were brutally murdered by Catholics by way of burning them alive at the stake, flaying alive, hangings, cutting them to pieces, burying them alive, drowning, torturing them on the rack, whereby bones were broken and bodies ripped apart, beheading them, etc… The property and assets were seized of those heinously murdered by the Catholic Church from about the Twelfth Century through around the 1820s, not that long ago. The Vatican sits atop the blood of the saints. Revelation 18 describes her brutal end for heresies and having committed such abominable crimes. “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins and that you receive not of her plagues” Revelation 18:4. God is calling His sincere believers to come out of the Catholic abomination, before it’s too late!

Extremely biased high school history textbook casts Christians and Trump supporters as RACISTS and BIGOTS

Posted on April 18, 2018 in Education // 5 Comments

(National Sentinel) Indoctrination: A new version of the AP U.S. History textbook for primary school students reportedly contains bias against President Donald J. Trump and suggests that white Christians are racists and xenophobes. Alex Clark, a radio talk show host of WNOW’s “The Joe and Alex Show” posted pictures of the book and its contents on Twitter after the publisher, Pearson Education, sent samples of the new version to public schools to encourage administrations to buy it, according to Fox News. The book also features sections on the Black Lives Matter movement and the 2016 presidential election. Author James Fraser, of New York University, portrays Christians, conservatives, and Trump supporters as bigots who fear non-whites. “In case you didn’t think there was an effort going on in public schools to indoctrinate kids with an anti-conservative agenda, a friend of mine took pictures and highlighted parts of this AP US History book,” she tweeted with pictures of the book containing highlighted passages. “There are specific parts where it goes off the rails from a historical textbook toward an op-ed,” Minnesota Rosemount High School student Tarra Snyder told Fox News. “It was really, really surprising to me. I really believe that learning should be objective and that students can make their own decisions based on what they’re able to learn in a classroom; and if the facts are skewed, then students aren’t able to make well-rounded decisions on what they believe,” Snyder continued. One section of the book is titled, “The Angry Election of 2016,” and it describes Trump’s supporters as “mostly older, often rural or suburban, and overwhelmingly white.” In addition, the section labels the president’s supporters from the perspective of supporters of Hillary Clinton as “people who were afraid of a rapidly developing ethnic diversity of the country, discomfort with their candidate’s gender, and nostalgia for an earlier time in the nation’s history.” Meanwhile, Clinton’s supporters are said to be ‘worried about the mental stability of the president-elect and the anger that he and his supporters brought to the nation,” the book notes. In actuality, it was supporters of Clinton and her one-time challenger, socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders, who spawned Antifa and similar far-Left movements whose members and supporters treated Trump supporters so viciously that Obama’s FBI and Department of Homeland Security labeled them domestic terrorists. In addition, the book claims that white Christians feared the increase in minorities in the years following the 2012 election, the author claims. “Those who had long thought of the nation as a white and Christian country sometimes found it difficult to adjust,” the book says. Regarding the president, Fraser says he exhibits “not-very-hidden racism” and “extremism.”

New York Gov. Cuomo grants 35,000 paroled felons right to vote; GOP sees 'power grab'

By Lukas Mikelionis | Fox News

In an executive order signed Wednesday, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo granted some 35,000 paroled felons the right to vote. The move by the second-term Democrat came after state Republicans blocked a bill in the state Senate. “I’m unwilling to take no for an answer,” Cuomo said at the annual convention of the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network in New York City. “I’m going to make it law by executive order.” The new directive includes New York in a list of 14 states and the District of Columbia that allow felons to vote in elections after serving their sentence. “It is unconscionable to deny voting rights to New Yorkers who have paid their debt and have re-entered society,” Cuomo said in a statement. “This reform will reduce disenfranchisement and will help restore justice and fairness to our democratic process. Withholding or delaying voting rights diminishes our democracy.” Cuomo said that nearly three-fourths of parolees in New York are black or Latino, and allowing parolees to vote will help them to reconnect with the community. But Republicans disagree and already started pouncing on Cuomo over the new measure. Republican Senate Leader John Flanagan said Wednesday that the order was bad public policy and could potentially be illegal because the governor ignored the Legislature. Ed Cox, chairman of the state Republican Party, in a statement, called the directive an “outrageous power grab” in a bid to appeal to “radical primary voters,” according to the New York Times. Cuomo is facing an energized Democratic primary challenge from "Sex and the City" star Cynthia Nixon, who has repeatedly attacked the governor from the left and for failing to support minorities in the state. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Israel Braces For Iranian Counterstrike

The Israel Defense Forces on Tuesday revealed new information about the deployment of Iranian air defenses in Syria, further exposing Tehran's attempts to entrench itself militarily in the war-torn country. In an apparent effort at deterrence, Israeli media was provided by the IDF with a map showing five Iranian-controlled bases in Syria, which would apparently constitute potential targets for an Israeli response should Iran carry out any kind of attack. Tensions between Israel and Iran have been steadily escalating since an Iranian drone that breached Israeli airspace on Feb. 10 was shot down by the Israeli Air Force. Israeli fighter jets later targeted the mobile control center of the T-4 air base from which it was piloted. Seven members of Iran's elite Quds Force were killed in the strike, including the commander of its drone unit in Syria. The drone appeared to be a relatively new stealth model known as a Saeqeh, whose design was stolen from an American unmanned aerial vehicle that was captured by Iran in 2011, according to aviation analysts. During the Syrian counterattack against the Israeli jets, one F-16 was hit by anti-aircraft fire and crashed in a field in northern Israel after the pilot and navigator ejected from it. In response to that downing of the fighter jet, Israel launched a large-scale attack on Syria's air defenses, destroying between one-third and one-half of its capabilities, according to the IDF. IDF spokesman Brigadier General Ronen Manelis reported that the Iranian drone operated from T-4 which had been armed, and was en route to carry out an attack on Israeli forces, and was not merely on an information-gathering mission. One senior Israeli security official told The New York Times that attempted attack was unprecedented, and represented a shift in Iranian policy. "This is the first time we saw Iran do something against Israel -- not by proxy," the senior Israeli security official said. "This opened a new period." According to Tuesday's report by Channel 10, Iran's build up in Syria in preparation for a direct conflict with the Jewish state has included the deployment of advanced airborne weapons platforms - including drone aircraft - shipments of weapons disguised as humanitarian aid, and Iranian military flights conducted under the cover of civilian airline companies. Fuming over the strike, Iran has vowed to exact vengeance on Israel. Tehran is now believed to be preparing for a sustained campaign of direct confrontation with Israel, with plans to use the Iranian military's growing presence in Syria to launch attacks on targets inside the Jewish state. For decades, the radical Islamist regime in Tehran has engaged in a de facto war with Israel via proxies - using terror groups in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon to attack Israeli civilian and military targets. On Tuesday, however, Israeli security officials revealed that Iran is now preparing for a direct assault on Israel, using its growing military assets on Israel's northern border to strike targets inside the Jewish state. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qassemi said Monday that "Israel will receive a blow for what it did at the T4 base. The days when the Zionist regime would hit and run are over. ... I suggest to the Israelis to refrain from foolish steps if they want to continue their treacherous existence," he warned. The IDF said Tuesday that the deployment of Iranian air defenses in Syria was personally supervised by Quds Force commander Maj. Gen. Ghasem Soleimani, one of the most powerful military figures in the Iranian regime. Iran has access to a variety of surface-to-surface missiles, from short-range Fajr-5 rockets to medium-range Fateh 110 missiles, which have a range of approximately 300 kilometers (190 miles) to long-range Shehab ballistic missiles capable of hitting targets over 1,300 kilometers (800 miles) away. To counter those threats, Israel has a multi-tiered missile defense system consisting of the Iron Dome for short-range rockets and mortar shells, the David's Sling for medium-range missiles and the Arrow for long-range ballistic missiles. Israel sees Iran, which has vowed to destroy the Jewish state, as its central enemy in the region. Israeli officials have repeatedly stated that Israel will not allow Iran to entrench itself in Syria, marking it as a "red line" that it will fight militarily if necessary. Many Bible scholars believe we may be starting to see a foreshadowing of a much larger conflict described in the book of Ezekiel in which many nations (including Russia & Iran) launch an attack on Israel and are miraculously defeated by God's direct intervention. Learn more how the converging of events at this time in history could impact you and your family and what other events the Bible predicts are on the horizon.

Hezbollah’s war of words telegraphs Iran’s message to Jerusalem

Why send the Hezbollah messenger?

By Seth J. Frantzman April 18, 2018 06:50

Israel and Iran are in “direct confrontation,” Naim al-Qassem, Hezbollah’s deputy secretary-general, warned on Tuesday. His comments should be interpreted as a message to Jerusalem that the gloves are coming off in Tehran and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is angry about alleged Israeli strikes on Iranian assets in Syria. The strike on the T4 air base on April 9 was a blow to Iran, more than just an attempt to do what some Israeli experts have called “mowing the grass” to reduce threats. Efraim Inbar and Eitan Shamir argued in a 2014 paper that “Israel’s strategy in the 21st century against hostile non-state groups, reflects the assumption that Israel finds itself in a protracted intractable conflict.” Use of force is designed to weaken the enemy, not to achieve “impossible political goals.” An impossible goal would be to remove Iran entirely from Syria. Why send the Hezbollah messenger? Because Tehran prefers to send mixed messages as part of its strategy. “Israel is trying to draw lines, limiting the ‘resistance axis’ and its freedom of action,” Qassem said. He claimed, as Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has in the past, that Israel does not want a real war. Hezbollah claims that its and the rest of Iran’s proxies and “axis of resistance’s” freedom of action will not be curtailed by Israel. Iran is still mourning the seven IRGC soldiers killed the air strike on its T4 base in Syria, including Col. Mehdi Dehgan, who led its drone unit. We know now that the February attempt by Iran to fly a drone into Israel was a greater threat than previously reported. It was armed with explosives and, according to reports, not meant to merely test or harass. Iranian regime media is playing up the Hezbollah comments. Press TV and Fars News both have it on their homepages, claiming “Israel won’t be allowed to set rules of engagement in Syria.” Press TV also is attempting to highlight Israel’s alleged violation of Syrian airspace and flouting Russian air defense in Syria, by claiming that Israel has said it will not have its actions limited in Syria. Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qassemi said on Monday that “sooner or later” Tehran will respond to Israel’s “hostile policies.” Should all this be believed? Hezbollah keeps saying that Israel does not want a real war. Hezbollah says that limits must be set on Israel’s actions. Tehran reports that Hezbollah wants those limits put into place. It almost seems like each one is passing the buck to the other, hoping to goad the other into taking action. And if not Hezbollah or Tehran, then they want to encourage Russia to do something in Syria to curtail what they claim is Israel’s impunity.

With Great Trouble Dead Ahead, End Times Characters Jockey Into Position As 'Epic Event With Prophetic Implications' Happens Next Month

- As We Head For A Date With Destiny, The Month Of May Be The Tipping Point That Kicks It All Off

By Pastor Dick Carmack - All News Pipeline April 19, 2018

Seventy years ago, Zipporah ("Zippy") Porath had joined the Haganah (defense forces) and received training as a medic. In her book, “Letters from Jerusalem, 1947-1948,” she wrote; “Our soldiers are like no others I'VE ever seen. They don't have much to fight with besides guts and determination. No swagger, spit or polish. No drinking, no shirking. Doing the dirtiest jobs, they sing and joke -- even in the fiercest moments, and never with a "here today and gone tomorrow" attitude. Tomorrow is what it’s all about.” Independence for Israel (as detailed in the book above) was won in May of 1948 (70 years ago next month) with “blood, sweat and tears” followed by a Declaration of Independence and the establishment of the Jewish state. With that the time-line of end-times events began. In human history no other single event has more importance than the re-gathering of the Jewish people into one nation. The beginning of the end of latter days prophecy, which began about six thousand years ago had reached its first major plateau with that event. When the modern state of Israel was established a time-table was set. We don’t yet know all the details but as the days go by, the pages flip and we see the chart a little better. One thing seems clear, we are headed for a date with destiny and May, 2018 may well be the tipping point that kicks it off. Re 1:3 ¶ Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. In the last Seventy years the state of Israel has weathered many storms. They began with the odds stacked heavily against them (5 Arab countries to 1 beleaguered small group of Jews) with their declaration of Independence but in spite of it fought off the innumerable hordes of Islam which have only multiplied since as the years progressed. The re-gathering and the existence of Israel is the single most important prophetic sign of the wind-up of history. Just as the beginning of the human experience began in Genesis, the end details are written not only in Revelation but also in the gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke as well as many prophetic books like Daniel, Zechariah, Ezekiel, Isaiah and Jeremiah. There, as well as some of the smaller books we can see the hand of God writing crisp and clear as He gives us the signs to look for in our curiosity of how it will all play out. The hands of our clock continue their inexorable clicking toward the second coming of Christ, we can’t see the numbers but we can hear the noises loud and clear. The Bible prophesies wars and rumors of wars as we near the end and we certainly have that. As this is being written Trump has just sent a hundred of so missiles into Syria while Russia ponders their response. A reply in some manner is necessary lest they appear as a paper tiger to the world. Will they lose face or will they respond in kind? If not in kind, how will they respond? Prophecy foretells a period it calls “the times of the Gentiles.” Lu 21:24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. Re 11:2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. The question is, from where is the forty two months measured? As much of prophecy is, until more historical events occur, there will be confusion and disagreement over the prophecy in Luke. Taking Luke 21:24 in context which we must do, this takes place during a time when Jerusalem is compassed about with armies (vs. 20) either making it an historical reference to the siege of Jerusalem of 70 A.D., or a reference to a siege during the Crusades (1099 or 1187) or an event yet to come. On the assumption, while others may disagree, it is a yet future event, this article is about the kick-off date. There is coming a time in the probable near future, when Israel will once more come under direct attack by its neighbors. War is obviously building in the region with different alignments coming into play as end-time characters jockey for position. Recently we have seen an unlikely alliance forming between Saudi Arabia and Israel, a common front against Iran and its aggression in Yemen and Syria (Sunni vs. Shia). Then throw in the possibility of another war described in Psalm 83 and the mix becomes more deadly. The Bible names the players in Ezekiel 38 with that war and mentions in Zechariah 12:2,3 Jerusalem will be both a “cup of trembling” and a “burdensome stone.” Great trouble obviously lies dead ahead. On May 15 this year re-gathered Israel will celebrate its 70th birthday since becoming a nation once again on that date in 1948. The nation is focusing on a celebration but the Bible focuses on the coming troubles. Because the number seven carries such great significance in Bible prophecy, many eyes are on Israel in an attempt to determine whether or not the coming 70th birthday will herald war or other prophesied events. Will next month be the start of the great tribulation? Will 70 be a significant number in the future of God’s Chosen people? Will some sort of a military attack take place on that date or will something else happen? What is the significance of the Trump Administration’s backing of Israel by the decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capitol? Is that an integral piece of the puzzle? Does the number seven apply to these end-time arrangements? The highest priority of God is salvation for all people, including all of the enemies of Israel. In His infinite wisdom He is setting up world events to bring about the maximum harvest of souls (and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me.) Ezekiel says when the armies of Gog come against the “mountains of Israel” He will turn them back (Eze 39:2)… and leave but the sixth part of thee…, In other words, 83% of the invading armies will be destroyed, not by Israel but by the Almighty Himself. Five out of six will die on the mountains. How will it happen? The Bible says not by raining fire down from heaven, but by messing with the minds of the soldiers and turning them against each other. Eze 38:21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother. So we watch May 15 in Israel as they celebrate their re-gathering and re-birth as a nation and try to discern where we are approximately in the Biblical count-down. Are we in the “beginning of sorrows?” or perhaps a little farther along. Is the “great tribulation” about to begin, or will the unbiblical false doctrine of a “pre-trib” rapture somehow whisk us all away from that time of extreme trouble? Mt 24:32 ¶ Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: 33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. The fig tree is the key indicator of how we will be able to discern our position in the scheme of final events of TEOTWAWKI. Effort is required on the part of the reader if he wants to know where we are as everything comes to a head. When it comes to biblical prophecy we don’t learn by osmosis. Discernment comes by study and by prayer, commodities in which we all are lacking. A diligent searching of the Word and proper dividing of it is required if we are to properly understand where we are. Lu 21:32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. If we put it all together yes, we are having and hearing of wars and rumors of war (Mt 24:6). And yes, there are famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes (7) testifying we are at least in the beginning of the final act. And at least in many parts of the world believers are being delivered up and killed but there still seems a long way to go. Christians in America so far seem far away from being put to death for their faith. Persecution? Obviously yes, considering bakers being forced to cook for perverts wanting to marry other perverts. But we are not yet being hunted like animals which is bound to come according to prophecy. Nor has the Gospel been preached in all of the world though several ministries are making a valiant effort. Yet the text tells us the fig tree is putting forth leaves and it’s high time we start looking after the things of God instead of the things of the world. In the midst of it all we must not forget the gospel (good news) of Christ is available to all who will call on His name.

Christian Pilot Praised for Poise in Face of Disaster: 'God Sent His Angels to Watch over Us!'

Veronica Neffinger | Editor, ChristianHeadlines.com | Wednesday, April 18, 2018

A Southwest Airlines pilot who was forced to make an emergency landing on Tuesday relied on her faith to keep calm in the tense situation. Charisma News reports that Tammie Jo Shults had to think fast when the plane she was piloting en route to Dallas from New York City lost one of its engines while airborne at 32,000 feet. Shults was forced to make an emergency landing in Philadelphia. She radioed the Philadelphia air traffic controller, calmly saying, “So we have a part of the aircraft missing so we’re going to need to slow down a bit.” She also told personnel at the Philadelphia International Airport that they would be needed an ambulance for injured passengers. Shults was able to safely land the plane in Philadelphia, although one passenger died after she was nearly sucked out of a broken window. Many of the passengers commended Shults on her poise in the face of disaster. "The pilot Tammy Jo was so amazing! She landed us safely in Philly," said passenger Amanda Bourman on Instagram. "God sent his angels to watch over us. I actually heard someone say, there is a God!!" Shults herself identifies as a Christian. She gained experience as a pilot while in the U.S. Navy, flying F-18 fighter jets. Her skills landing planes at high speeds certainly helped her bring her passengers to safety on the Southwest flight. Shults also said she views her career as a way to shine a light for Christ. She says she is given "the opportunity to witness for Christ on almost every flight." Photo courtesy: Wikipedia Publication date: April 18, 2018

Russia’s just made a secret delivery to Syria. What does the smokescreen hide?

RUSSIA’s up to something in Syria. Cargo ships have begun offloading heavy equipment while hiding it from view under a thick smokescreen.

Jamie Seidel News Corp Australia Network April 19, 20186:09pm

RUSSIA responded an attack on Syrian chemical weapons facilities by the US, Britain and France last week by promising to supply the rogue state with advanced new missiles. Moscow insisted there would be consequences. But the only action it detailed was supplying President Bassar al-Assad with better air defences. It may be in the process of delivering. Unconfirmed reports suggest cargo ships have docked at the Russian naval base of Tartus on the Syrian coast. This in itself is not unusual. What is odd is that, according to pro-Syrian regime sources, they’re unloading their cargo in secret — under the cover of smoke and aerosol gas intended to block prying eyes, satellite and drone sensors. What the ships are carrying is unknown. They have been tracked by military analysts and watchers passing through the Black Sea and the Bosphorus Strait into the Mediterranean in recent days. But speculation is rife they may be delivering advanced S-300 interceptor missiles, their radars and heavy wheeled transports. Such a weapon system, while one generation behind Russia’s state-of-the-art, could dramatically increase Syria’s ability to shoot down Western (and Israeli) missiles — and combat aircraft. If proven correct, this would represent another escalation in the drawn-out conflict wracking the Middle Eastern nation. Russia has already reportedly sold the S-300 to Iran. A standard unit is capable of launching up to six of the missiles, each able to be guided some 200km towards its target. A much older, but recently upgraded, Russian missile system was last month used by Syria to damage an Israeli F-16 fighter jet as it engaged in a strike run over its territory. Israeli media is reporting analysts and former defence officials as saying there can be only one response to Syria posessing state-of-the-art S-300 missiles: Blowing them up. Such an act could threaten to escalate the seven-year-old civil war, and widen the conflict to neighboring states - as well as Russia and the United States. In February it was reported up to 200 Russian mercenaries were killed or wounded after US forces counterattacked to defend a facility its troops shared with rebel and Kurdish forces near the Euphrates city of Deir Ezzor. RELATED: What we know about Russia’s Su57 stealth fighter Later, Moscow deployed at least two of its most advanced stealth fighters to the airfield it controls near Tartus, named Kmeimim. This raised fears of yet further confusion leading to clashes between Russian and Coalition forces.

How Will Iran Respond To The Syria Attacks?

We can consider the April 14th airstrikes against the Syrian regime’s chemical infrastructure as a point of no return in regards to this country’s future developments. For many years Bashar Assad and Iran were able to take the utmost advantage of the Obama administration’s policy of appeasement, and thus pave the path for Russia’s entrance into the Middle East. The main victims have been directly the peoples of Syria, Iraq, Yemen and other regional states. Iran seeks to respond to these attacks, both to lift the spirits of its military and security forces across the country, and in regards to the regional balance of power. Facing increasing anti-government protests and its consequences, however, Tehran lacks the capacity to take on measures outside of its borders . Considered Assad’s main sponsor after spending dozens of billions of dollars in Syria, Iran had prior to these attacks threatened repeatedly that such a US-led initiative will not go unanswered. Tehran, however, has yet to take any action after the early morning April 14th airstrikes, while further reports in Middle East outlets indicate other bases associated to the Assad regime and Iran-backed militias in Syria are being targeted. Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei unprecedentedly described the leaders of the United States, France and the United Kingdom as “criminals,” going against all diplomatic norms. Can such remarks be considered a green light for terrorist attacks by Iran and/or its affiliates? The semi-official Tasnim news agency, associated to Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) Quds Force, claims the Asaeb al-Haq, a 40,000- strong militia group affiliated to Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Force (PMF) with long-term relations with Iran, has several units currently besieging U.S. forces stationed in the Al Zahra airbase located northwest of Baghdad. Tehran’s rulers are comprehending clearly how Obama’s appeasement policy, in the face of this regime’s crimes inside the country and those of its affiliated militias abroad, has ended. Ever since the Trump administration has entered the White House, we have witnessed firm actions against Iran’s belligerence, rendering significant results. For some time, we are no longer hearing reports of IRGC boats harassing US warships in international waters of the Persian Gulf. It has been months since Tehran last test-launched a ballistic missile. Instead they are using Yemen’s Houthis to launch Iranian missiles into Saudi Arabia to both cover any tracks and save face to some extent. In the nationwide uprisings of the past months that rocked the very pillars of Tehran’s entire apparatus, the Iranian people are extensively protesting the regime’s Middle East meddling. This, parallel to the recent currency nosedive crisis, is preventing the Iranian regime from executing widespread military initiatives in the region. Trump’s firm policy has also forced North Korea to agree into significantly curbing its nuclear weapons program and ballistic missiles. Russia, able to voice demands in the past few years due to Obama’s weakness and gaining a significant Middle East foothold through its Syria campaign, refused to respond to the US-led airstrikes against Assad’s forces.

Airstrikes by US, allies failed to significantly reduce Syria's chemical weapons capabilities: report

By Gregg Re | Fox News

Airstrikes conducted by the United States, France and Britain against Syria last week failed to have a major impact on President Bashar al-Assad’s chemical weapons capabilities, according to a new report. Assad's chemical weapons are believed to be strategically hidden in a variety of hard-to-target locations, four U.S. officials who insisted on anonymity told Reuters. U.S. intelligence officials suspect some of those locations include apartments and school buildings -- making them veritable "human shields" for the biological weapons, one of the officials told Reuters. But in the aftermath of the coordinated airstrikes, which hit a chemical weapons research center near Damascus and two storage facilities, U.S. and British officials stressed that they had been extremely careful to avoid any civilian casualties. British Prime Minister Theresa May, for example, described the attack as a "limited and targeted strike that does not further escalate tensions in the region and that does everything possible to prevent civilian casualties." MARC THIESSEN: SYRIA STRIKE WAS 'JUST MUSCULAR ENOUGH NOT TO GET MOCKED,' HURT US CREDIBILITY The strikes, which President Trump called "very successful," did not cause any reported casualties. In fact, according to The Washington Post, they prompted a celebration to break out when pro-government supporters realized that the airstrikes were limited. While French, British, and U.S. officials have said the Syrian government used chlorine gas in an attack on civilians earlier this month, both Syria and Russia strongly contest that claim. A similar chemical attack in Khan Sheikhoun in April 2017 that killed nearly 100 people prompted the U.S. to launch dozens of cruise missiles at a Syrian airfield to dissuade Assad from using chemical weapons in the future, officials said. "Clearly the Assad regime did not get the message last year," Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said last week. "This time our allies and we have struck harder." But Russia has accused the U.S. of consistent hypocrisy, saying the White House hasn't acted consistently with its claimed goal of ending the seven-year conflict in Syria. Against that tumultuous backdrop, the U.N. Security Council is set to meet this weekend at a Swedish estate for its annual retreat.

Military Terrorism Complex

By Hal Lindsey

Not long ago in this space, I talked about one of the most underreported facts of the Middle East — that the Lebanese terror group known as Hezbollah has a larger stockpile of missiles than all NATO countries (except the U.S.) combined. The terror group is reported to have approximately 150,000 missiles in the field, ready to go. Hezbollah is the most powerful non-state military actor in the world. They have 20,000 active duty troops and another 25,000 reservists. They are known to have a vast number of deep and sophisticated tunnel and bunker complexes across southern Lebanon, and entering Israel under its northern border. Where does a terrorist group get the weapons and money to build such an immense military machine? It primarily comes from their fellow Shiite Muslims in Iran. In June, we learned that Hezbollah’s military capabilities have taken a dramatic turn. ISIS differentiated itself from other terror groups by taking territory from existing nations, and attempting to build a caliphate on it. But Hezbollah has done them one better. They are building their own industrial infrastructure capable of producing precision weapons, primarily missiles. Israeli Defense Forces Intelligence Chief, Maj.-Gen. Herzl Halevi, said, “We are seeing Hezbollah building a domestic military industry on Lebanese soil based on Iranian know-how. Hezbollah is producing weapons systems and transporting them to southern Lebanon…. Over the past year, Iran is working to establish infrastructure for the independent production of precision weapons in Lebanon and Yemen.” In 2006, Israel and Hezbollah fought a 34-day war. It ended with the Lebanese cabinet, Hezbollah’s strongman leader, and the Israeli Knesset agreeing to the terms of UN Security Council Resolution 1701. Among other things, that resolution provided for “the disarmament of all armed groups in Lebanon…. There will be no weapons or authority in Lebanon other than that of the Lebanese State.” That should have been the end of an armed Hezbollah. But instead, they have had an explosion of military capability in the intervening years. In other words, Hezbollah’s promise isn’t worth the paper it’s written on, and the UN remains a toothless tiger. The resolution also required Hezbollah to stay north of the Litani River. It runs about 18 miles north of and roughly parallel to Lebanon’s border with Israel. Most of their force remains north of the river, but they are building observation towers next to the border. You might wonder how UN peacekeepers could overlook something so obvious. Before I tell you how Hezbollah gets away with it, go ahead and swallow any liquid you may be drinking — because this could definitely provoke choking. Hezbollah is able to work along the border because they made up their own environmental organization — “Green Without Borders.” They say they plan to plant a million trees. Oh, and they just happen to want to plant those trees in South Lebanon — near the border with Israel. Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) released photographs and video showing “Green Without Borders” building large observation towers along the border. The UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) issued a statement supposedly contradicting the IDF. It says its members have “not observed any unauthorized armed persons at the locations or found any basis to report a violation of resolution 1701.” But Israel did not accuse Hezbollah of sending “armed persons” south of the Litani. They accused them of building observation towers. UNIFIL did not deny the basic accusation, nor did they explain why a group whose primary purpose is to plant trees, needs observation towers directly on the border. UNIFIL was formed in 2006, not only to keep Hezbollah north of the Litani River, but to oversee Hezbollah’s disarmament. During the intervening years, Hezbollah’s military power has grown into something far greater than that of most nations. After a failure of such proportions, how does UNIFIL have any credibility left? With ISIS, the world saw the danger, and nations have been cooperating to rein it in. But with Hezbollah, the nations of the world are turning a blind eye, despite the obvious and massive violations of UN resolutions. Only Israel seems concerned about Hezbollah. And it should be. Look at a map of the region. With Damascus and other key Syrian assets in the hands of Iran and Russia, Iran has a direct pipeline to Hezbollah in Lebanon. And with Iran’s growing oil wealth, they can give Hezbollah all the assets it needs. In the early 1980s, Iran created Hezbollah. Now, the terror group has become an extension of Iran’s power in the region. Hezbollah caused massive difficulties for Israel in 2006. At that time, they had 15,000 rockets. Now they have ten times that number. Plus, the 150,000 missiles they presently have are both more sophisticated and more destructive than the 15,000 from eleven years ago. The old ones didn’t have nearly the payload of the new ones, nor did they have the precision guidance systems of the new ones. These weapons are not defensive, but offensive in nature. Hezbollah and Iran have made their intentions clear. They mean to destroy Israel from the face of the earth. God promises to preserve Israel during and after the current regathering, but the nation will experience terrible days. With Hezbollah and so many other armies poised to strike their small nation, you can see why Israel will one day agree to a peace treaty with Antichrist. He will promise what they will crave most — peace and safety. And then he will deliver a reign of destruction. In the end, however, all God’s promises to Israel will be kept. At the end of the book, they turn to the true Messiah. They win… as do all those who put their trust in Jesus.

China Issues Decree that Demands All Christians Register With the Government in the Henan Province

Updated: April 16, 2018 at 9:52 am EST See Comments

Published: April 16, 2018 By Nate Brown For The Christian Journal

The Chinese government issued a notice declaring that all who are religiously affiliated in the Henan Province must register with the government in Anyang, the northernmost city in the region. The order declares that Christians, Buddhists, Taoists, and Muslims must register; however, according to a source that spoke to ChinaAid, the communist government is only going after those who identify as Christians. “In the past two months, the government banned all Catholic churches and (Protestant) house churches, and that didn’t happen to any other religions.” Over the past several months China has ramped up the amount of censorship, imprisonment, and abuse of Christians which the Christian Journal has documented. An officer in China, from the Pingyuan Neighborhood Committee, speaking to ChinaAid stated that all who are religiously affiliated are required to register, but she did not believe that the order was a cause for alarm. “Bring your household registration and ID card to register,” she said. “Fill out a form, fill in your name, birth date, address, religious background, when you converted, the religious background of your family members, etc.” The order, obtained by ChinaAid, details can be seen below; Historically, when a government has required a specific ideology, gender, or race to register the intent was malicious. For example, in 1937 and 1938 the German Jews were required to register their property which in turn disallowed them from earning a living. Furthermore, “In August 1938, German authorities decreed that by January 1, 1939, Jewish men and women bearing first names of “non-Jewish” origin had to add “Israel” and “Sara,” respectively, to their given names. All Jews were obliged to carry identity cards that indicated their Jewish heritage, and, in the autumn of 1938, all Jewish passports were stamped with an identifying letter ’J.'” The Chinese government has displayed actions that starkly remind citizens of a China under Mao Zedong.

First known epidemic of drug-resistant typhoid is spreading through Pakistan, infecting at least 850 people over the past two years - as doctors admit: 'We're out of options'

The strain of typhoid has become resistant to five types of antibiotics

It is expected to replace weaker strains in areas where they are more common

Azithromycin is the only remaining method of combating the disease

The highly infectious condition causes high fevers, headaches and vomiting

By Charlotte Dean For Mailonline Published: 11:59 EDT, 15 April 2018 | Updated: 14:47 EDT, 15 April 2018

A drug-resistant strain of typhoid is spreading through Pakistan and has infected at least 850 people since 2016. The strain which is resistant to five types of antibiotics is predicted to spread across the globe, according to the National Institute of Health Islamabad. It is expected to replace the weaker strains in areas where they are common as experts recognise just one remaining working antibiotic. Azithromycin is the only remaining method of combating the disease however just one more genetic mutation could void the use of the drug. Campaigners are predicting that if modern sanitation systems don't tackle the pathogen then we could be faced with a return to the pre-antibiotic era. Dr Rumina Hasan, a pathology professor at the Aga Khan University in Pakistan, told the NY Times that this wasn't just about typhoid. He said: 'Antibiotic resistance is a threat to all of modern medicine - and the scary part is, we're out of options.' Around 21 million suffer from typhoid each year, with about 161,000 fatalities, caused by the Salmonelle Typi bacteria. The highly infectious condition causes high fevers, headaches and vomiting which is transmitted by contaminated food or water. Typhoid is endemic to Pakistan due to its poor infrastructure, low vaccination rates and overpopulated areas. The outbreak in 2016 saw patients become resistant to the drug ceftriaxone which is used to treat strains of typhoid. Before this only four isolated cases of resistance to this drug had been reported, according to Dr Elizabeth Klemm. It is suspected that the outbreak began due to the large amount of victims who were clustered around the sewage lines in the city of Hyderabad with four deaths reported so far. There has been one case reported in the UK which is thought to be travel-related. Health officials are promoting preventative measures, such as vaccination, boiling drinking water and hygiene. Dr Klemm said that there are several worst-case scenarios for the outbreak which is that migration causes it to spread or that it appears elsewhere unaided. Doctors still prescribe an estimated 50 million doses of antibiotics for typhoid globally each year as antibiotic resistance is increasing by 30 percent each year. In order to prevent the disease becoming untreatable officials are trying to vaccinate 250,000 children in Hyderabad which lasts for five years and can be given to someone as young as six-months-old.

Machete Attack Every 90 Minutes in ‘Gun-Free’ Britain

by Liam Deacon15 Apr 2018

Recorded machete attacks in the UK have shot up by nearly five times in just three years, with the majority in the capital, London. The huge number of crimes committed with the deadly, sword-like weapons means there is an average of 15 a day in the UK, or one every 90 minutes. Figures uncovered using freedom of information requests by the Daily Mail show that police dealt with 928 crimes involving machetes in the last two months of 2017. London saw the bulk, with 425 of the attacks. There were 99 in Greater Manchester, 77 in the West Midlands, and 29 each in Merseyside and West Yorkshire. Just three years earlier, the deadly blades were used in 100 crimes a month over the same period. As violent crime surges across the country, and even faster in London, the long blades, designed for chopping undergrowth, appear to be a weapon of choice for criminals in the UK, which is governed by strict gun-control laws. In January, Office of National Statistics (ONS) figures showed that in the year to September 2017 the police recorded 37,443 offences involving a knife or sharp instrument. This represents a sharp rise of 21 per cent increase on the previous year, and the highest number of blade attacks since records began seven years ago. The rise in knife crime was larger in London, jumping by 38 per cent, and gang-related acid attacks are also on the rise. Across the UK, violent crime overall surged by 20 per cent, robbery was up by 29 per cent, and sex offences surged by 23 per cent. Since 2011, the number of offences involving a knife or a sharp instrument had been falling, but began rising in the past three years, the ONS explained. London under the leadership of Labour Mayor Sadiq Khan has experienced more than 50 murders so far this year – surpassing the number recorded in New York City over the same period for the first time.

Robert Mueller Turned Blind Eye To Backpage And Child Sex Trafficking, So Please Stop Acting As If He Is Some Paragon Of Virtue

- Mueller's Failure To Act Resulted In The Sexual Abuse And Death Of Children

April 15, 2018 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

I am sick and tired of liberals, Democratic politicians and NeverTrumpers treating former FBI Director and now-special counsel Robert Mueller as some paragon of virtue for no other reasons than their intense Trump Derangement Syndrome, when a look at one of Mueller's worst failures actually highlights a man of questionable tactics, ethics and morals. BACKPAGE'S CHILD TRAFFICKING BEGAN DURING MUELLER'S TENURE AS FBI DIRECTOR Previously ANP reported on the seizure of the Backpage website and affiliated websites, along with a follow up on the arrest and charging of Backpage officials, including the CEO, founders, and owners, with the full unsealed 61 page indictment with 93 counts charged against them, including human trafficking and the sex trafficking of minors. We highlighted the top officials of Backpage being large donors of the Democratic party, Democratic politicians and Hillary Clinton, and the long history of states trying to shut down what a Senate report indicated was a company involved in 73 percent of reported human trafficking complaints, including trafficking of minors. Three days after the 61 page indictment was unsealed the Department of Justice announced that Backpage's co-founder and CEO, along with multiple other corporate entities had entered guilty pleas. Backpage.com, as an entity, was one of those guilty pleas, admitting to human trafficking in Texas, announced by the Texas AG, Ken Paxton. Backpage’s co-founder and CEO, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to facilitate prostitution using a facility in interstate or foreign commerce and to engage in money laundering, is Carl Ferrer, 57, of Frisco, Texas. Ferrer entered into a plea deal in which he will testify against others alleged co-conspirators, such as the founders Michael Lacy and James Larkin. Robert Mueller's failures were many in relation to Backpage and their sex trafficking, which continued throughout Mueller's tenure as FBI Director from 2001 through 2013. During his tenure, since 2010, multiple state law enforcement agencies unsuccessfully attempted to shut Backpage down or even just get their adult services section where women and children were being trafficked, shut down, and legislative initiatives were proposed with the same goal. MUELLER 'HONORED' BACKPAGE CEO THAT JUST ENTERED GUILTY PLEA FOR HUMAN TRAFFICKING? Mueller did nothing..... well, not exactly nothing. According to multiple reports, Mueller did "recognize" Carl Ferrer in 2011, amidst the ongoing legal actions being taken against Ferrer and Backpage for sex trafficking, including the trafficking of minors, for his "outstanding cooperation and assistance in connection with an investigation of great importance....." Via WND: Multiple online reports, including by the GOP Briefing Room and True Pundit, documented Mueller’s honoring of Ferrer in 2011. The image of the award from the FBI, signed by Mueller, states the bureau is “proud to recognize Carl Ferrer, Vice President, Backpage.com for your outstanding cooperation and assistance in connection with an investigation of great importance. The FBI’s ability to carry out its investigative responsibilities to the American people has been greatly enhanced through your help, and you can be very proud of your valuable contributions to the success achieved.” FBI sources said the honor might even have included a cash reward. Quick Recap: Backpage continued to run unfettered during Mueller's tenure as FBI Director. Mueller allegedly recognized the CEO of Backpage in 2011, while multiple states were attempting to shut down their sex trafficking business, which included the trafficking of minors. Backpage continued to be allowed to traffic human victims during former FBI Director James Comey's tenure as well. Note- I use the term allegedly because while multiple sites are reporting the image above, we have not been able to independently verify where the original image was obtained. A month after Donald Trump took office he vowed to eradicate the "epidemic" of human trafficking. The April 9, 2018 DOJ announcement of the arrests, charges and unsealed indictment, included the presence of the newly appointed FBI Director Christopher Wray, showing FBI cooperation and resources were needed to successfully shut this organization down. “This website will no longer serve as a platform for human traffickers to thrive, and those who were complicit in its use to exploit human beings for monetary gain will be held accountable for their heinous actions,” said FBI Director Wray. “Whether on the street or on the Internet, sex trafficking will not be tolerated. Together with our law enforcement partners, the FBI will continue to vigorously combat this activity and protect those who are victimized.” Victims, according to the 61 page indictment, included but are not limited to: A 15 years old child victim was forced to do in-calls at hotels; A young teenager victim was told to “perform sexual acts at gun point and choked” until she had seizures, before being gang-raped; A victim was advertised under the pseudonym “Nadia” was stabbed to death; A victim was murdered in 2015 before being set aflame to burn her corpse. How many of those victims, and the hundreds of others not specified in the indictment, could have been saved their fate had Mueller, then Comey, or the Obama administration, simply done their jobs Related: Other Mueller Failures Flashback - Comey, Mueller bungled big anthrax case together Dershowitz: Robert Mueller Is ‘a Zealot’ (Remember Whitey Bulger) LA Times: Robert Mueller's record shows surprising flaws NeverTrumps Protect Mob Boss Robert Mueller Robert Mueller, Andrew Weissmann, the FBI and the Mob BOTTOM LINE Perhaps this sounds harsh, but as far as I am concerned, Mueller, and then Comey's failure to act, along with Barack Obama's failure to put the full force of federal agencies behind the hard work of multiple officials, in a variety of states, to end Backpage's human trafficking once states revealed the scope of their crimes, resulted in the violations, sexual abuses, and deaths, of the combined 17 victims directly specified in the 93-count indictment. The legal cases and proposed legislation to shut down Backpage began in 2010, during Obama's presidency, and continued right up until the beginning of 2017. Once the full powers of the federal government were unleashed it took only one year to shut down the website, indict seven individuals and obtain guilty pleas. The bottom line here is Robert Mueller has a history of failures, misconduct, failure to provide exculpatory evidence as required by law, and ethically questionable tactics, but his failure in the case of Backpage, is perhaps one of worst failures of all.... because women were sold, children were abused and murdered, because of his failure to do his duty to protect them. So, please, Democrats, liberals, RINOs and NeverTrumpers, save your praise of Mueller as some paragon of virtue, he is not. Hannity: Robert Mueller has officially gone rogue

The Russians Are Being Instructed To Prepare For Armageddon

April 16, 2018 danama

Evidently, the Russians are being instructed to prepare for Armageddon.

Russia’s State TV is broadcasting instructions for survival in a bomb shelter. Will you ever hear or see this on American mainstream news? No. Never. However I found it surreal to watch/listen to what the Russians are telling their citizens today (actually yesterday). Yes this is really happening. (Read on for transcript translation) First, The situation in Syria may soon turn into lots more that just a situation. Trump has promised missiles. Putin has promised to strike back. The MIC Deep State may have false flagged the trigger – in want of this war. Ships, subs, and aircraft are being positioned by all sides. I have a gut feeling that Russia won’t back down if Syria is fired upon. So if US missiles launch on Syria, and Russia strikes back, this would be very, very bad indeed for all. Quick escalation likely. There’s lots going on behind the scenes at this very moment. Let’s prepare as though the worst might happen. Are you doing anything different about it right now? Or do you feel that this is just more bluffing and posturing? A big concern is how quickly it could ramp up. It could be dizzying. There probably won’t be much time ‘after’ to finalize your preps, depending on what actually happens. Do I think that this is going to turn into a shooting war (or worse) with Russia? This time I’m really not sure. Trump appears to have been swallowed up by the military industrial complex / deep state. It has seemed evident since he signed the budget. And this indicates (if true) that he may indeed fire those missiles. A lot of preppers have this idea that when a disaster strikes, they’ll just bug out to a rural area. They think they’ll be safe in an area with so few people. But the thing is, unless you’re deep in a national park, you’re going to end up on someone’s property, and eventually a local will spot you and want to know what the hell you’re doing there. WATCH THIS VIDEO that reveals 3 of the most important skills to overcome any disaster. Here’s the transcript / translation form the Russia TV broadcast (video link below). So, what should one bring to a shelter? The basic kit for Judgement Day includes many items. But the main rule to follow when packing a survival kit is ‘fewer sweets’, ‘more water’. By the way, not all food is worth bringing along. For instance, the most lasting grain is rice, which can be stored for up to 8 years. Oats can be stored for 3 years, but buckwheat can’t be stored for more than a year. You can live off of canned meats for a rather long time, they can be stored for up to 5 years. Canned fish can be stored for up to 2 years. Also it would be hard to go on without milk, even if it’s the dry kind, as well as sugar and salt. Russian tradition suggests to stock up on pasta in case of any disasters. However professional survivalists don’t advise stocking your bomb shelter with this product. Pasta must be stored in sealed containers, otherwise, it grows damp and goes bad quickly. Those with a sweet tooth won’t have a sweet life in the underground world. All chocolates, candies, and condensed milk will have to be left behind. Sure, glucose is an unrivaled energy source, but sweets will make you thirsty. And water will be the most valuable resource for bomb shelter residents. Load up on water. You can go 2 – 3 weeks without food, but only 2 – 3 days without water. You even need water to digest your food, so you must think about water first. Here are the norms for water consumption for the population. An adult male needs no less than 2.5 quarts of water per day. Children and nursing mothers need twice as much. About 3.5 quarts of water per person per day is used for cooking. 21 quarts are required for hygiene and cleaning purposes. Water consumption greatly depends on the microclimate of one’s living accommodations. If the ventilation system is weak, and the air in the bomb shelter gets hot, it’ll quickly affect the water supply. If the temperature rises to 85 F, water consumption increases 2-3x. If the room is extremely hot, at 98 F you’ll need four times as much water. I’ll add that, obviously, you’ll need more than just food in the shleter. Experts, or people who believe they are such, recommend loading up on medical supplies, especially those containing iodine. They help the body cope with radiation. Luminescent and chemical light sources may come in handy underground, as well as large sealed containers for waste storage. You might also want to grab a few liters of chlorine to disinfect your new home. What do you think about all this? Will the US back down? Will Trump launch missiles? If he does, will Russia shoot them down? Or will Russia sink the ship that fired them? Will it be tit for tat? Or will it become more than that? Or nothing at all… Do You Feel Something Is Wrong With Our Society? Then You Need To Read This …“ The devil’s finest trick was to persuade you that he doesn’t exist.

Syria War Meant To Demonize America, Create Pretext For Global Government

By Daniel Taylor Old-Thinker News | April 16, 2018

Debates surrounding the recent strikes on Syria have mostly centered on President Trump and his reasoning for military action. There is another, and I believe more pressing reason, that the establishment is pounding the drums of war in America. China’s recent statement regarding the Syria strikes gives us a clue to a wider agenda at play. As reported by Zero hedge, China’s Global Times wrote that the United States actions are a danger to world peace, and that “The US has a record of launching wars on deceptive grounds…” The Obama administration’s treasonous alliance with radical Islam in the middle east angered individuals with conscience in America’s military, who refused to be “Alqaeda’s air force”. Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria; The list goes on. From the opening salvo in the war on terror after 9/11 to the current crisis in Syria, the deep state’s wars – based on flimsy or non-existent evidence – are increasingly angering the globe. America’s name is being dragged through the mud deliberately. Wars are being deliberately launched on false pretexts. The deep state elites, who have no allegiance to any nation, along with communist China, will hold up America as the boogeyman that a world government system will reign in. At this point in time, China could be at the helm of this future world government. This is, I believe, is the ultimate end game of the current geopolitical chaos. America is being used to provoke war to the point that the people of the world will beg for world government to stop the bloodshed. Beware, however. The government that comes in the name of peace in the aftermath will be more tyrannical and ruthless than anything the world has seen.

Senior IDF official confirms Israel attacked ‘live Iranian targets’ in Syria

A senior IDF official has confirmed that Israel attacked the T-4 airbase in Syria, New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman wrote in a piece published Sunday. “It was the first time we attacked live Iranian targets,” the source told Friedman.

Apr 16, 2018, 3:30PM Becca Noy

For the first time, Israel directly attacked Iranian forces in Syria when it struck the T4 airbase near Homs last week, a senior IDF official told New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman. In a piece published on Sunday, Friedman said that the global reaction to the Israeli attack was largely absent due to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s use of chemical weapons in Douma two days earlier. “It was the first time we attacked live Iranian targets — both facilities and people,” the senior military source told Friedman. In the attack, seven Iranians were killed. The source also commented on the downing of an Iranian drone in February. “This is the first time we saw Iran do something against Israel — not by proxy,” he told Friedman. “This opened a new period.” The IDF recently revealed that the drone was carrying explosives and sent to carry out an attack in Israel. The military stressed that the drone was detected by Israel’s aerial defense system when it took off from the T-4 airbase and was being tracked by the Israeli Air Force. The drone was downed after it crossed into Israeli airspace. In response, the IAF fighter jets targeted Iranian sites in Syria. Syrian air defense forces targeted an Israeli F-16 fighter jet that was involved in the attack with over 25 anti-aircraft missiles. The pilots of the aircraft ejected from it before the Syrian missiles hit, landing near Mitzpe Adi. One of the pilots was critically injured.

Royal Navy's $1.3bn submarine was locked in a deadly game of 'hide and seek' with Russian hunter-killer ships for DAYS before air strikes on Syria

Russian Kilo-class submarines chased British Astute-class vessels backed up by two frigates and an aircraft

They hunted the UK vessel as it carried Tomahawk missiles with a range of up to 1,000 miles close to Syria

Britain joined the U.S. and France in airstrikes against the Assad regime and its chemical weapons facilities

Russian President Vladimir Putin warned of 'consequences' and said said there was no evidence of the attack

President Donald Trump has vowed to carry out further strikes if Assad crosses the chemical 'red line' again

Assad met Russian politicians today and told them the West was spreading 'lies and misinformation' at the UN

Theresa May has faced criticism for authorising the military action without a vote in the House of Commons

Boris Johnson defended the PM but said the UK would take 'precautions' amid fears of Russian cyber-attacks

Labour's Jeremy Corbyn questioned their legality and demanded a 'war powers' law to give Parliament a say

By Jessica Finn and Jennifer Smith For Dailymail.com and James Tapsfield, Political Editor For Mailonline and Tim Stickings For Mailonline Published: 08:23 EDT, 15 April 2018 | Updated: 03:36 EDT, 16 April 2018

A Royal Navy submarine was hunted by Russian warships in a 'cat and mouse' pursuit under the eastern Mediterranean shortly before the UK took part in airstrikes against the Assad regime in Syria, it has emerged. Russian hunter-killer submarines, nicknamed 'Black Hole' because of their stealth, chased the British Astute-class submarines over several days, supported by two frigates and an anti-submarine aircraft, according to a military source. UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said today that the UK would have to take 'precautions' against Russian cyber-attacks, after Russian President Vladimir Putin warned of 'consequences' following the airstrikes by the UK, US and France in which suspected chemical weapons sites in Syria were reduced to rubble. The Russian Kilo-class submarines tracked the British crew as the UK vessel, carrying Tomahawk missiles with a range of up to 1,000 miles, moved within firing distance of Syria, The Sunday Times reports. No missiles were in fact fired from British submarines during the strikes, although though the British boat would have been carrying up to 20 Tomahawk cruise missiles. The US Navy was also flying patrol aircraft over the area to track Russian boats and protect its allied submarines, it is reported. Britain's nuclear-powered Astute submarines cost around £1.2billion each and have been commissioned since 2010, while the Russian Kilo-class submarines are powered by diesel generators and can reach a top speed of 20 knots. Nick Childs of the International Institute for Strategic Studies said submarine commanders were trained not to fire too many missiles at once as they would give away their position. It comes after new satellite imagery revealed extensive damage to targets hit by the airstrikes in Syria, where three sites were destroyed as Donald Trump, Theresa May and Emmanuel Macron responded to a chemical attack by the Assad regime which killed 75 people. Trump has vowed to carry out further airstrikes on Syria if the regime dares to use chemical weapons again, while UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson defended Britain's decision to stand up to 'barbarism' amid criticism of Mrs May for acting without a vote in the House of Commons. America's UN ambassador Nikki Haley said today the U.S. will be imposing more economic sanctions on Russia for its support of Assad, saying they will affect companies that are 'dealing with equipment related to Assad and any chemical weapons use'. Assad continues to deny using chemical weapons, telling visiting Russian politicians today that Western air strikes against his country were accompanied by a campaign of 'lies' and misinformation at the UN. Putin told Iranian President Hassan Rouhani today that more airstrikes would be in violation of the United Nations Charter and 'would inevitably provoke chaos in international relations', according to the Kremlin. Images taken on Saturday show extensive missile damage to the facilities believed to be involved with Syria's chemical weapons program, with two facilities decimated in Homs and the Bazrah Research Center, a scientific research center on the outskirts of Damascus, also hit by a barrage of missiles. Warning of 'consequences', Putin described the airstrikes as 'act of aggression' that would 'worsen the humanitarian catastrophe' in Syria and have a 'destructive influence on the entire system of international relations'. Boris Johnson said failure to respond to Assad's use of illegal chemical weapons against his own people would have undermined 'civilised values'. He said 'so far, thank heavens, the Assad regime has not been so foolish to launch another chemical weapons attack,' adding that Britain and its allies 'would study what the options were' in the event of another attack. But amid fears of revenge attacks by Russia and criticism of Theresa May for acting without a Commons vote, Mr Johnson stressed there was no intention of getting more deeply involved in the Syrian civil war. Concerns have been raised that a cyber backlash could see vital services including water supplies, gas networks, banks, hospitals and air traffic control affected. Speaking on the BBC's Andrew Marr show today, Mr Johnson said: 'You have to take every possible precaution, and when you look at what Russia has done, not just in this country, in Salisbury, attacks on TV stations, on the democratic processes, on critical national infrastructure – of course we have to be very, very cautious indeed.' Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn branded the UK's air strikes 'legally questionable', forcing the Government to publish detailed legal advice justifying the bombings. Today Mr Corbyn demanded a 'war powers' law to ban the Prime Minister from taking military action without a Commons vote. The official legal advice claimed 'the UK is permitted under international law, on an exceptional basis, to take measures in order to alleviate overwhelming humanitarian suffering'. Mrs May will face MPs tomorrow. Asked if there were any circumstances in which he would back air strikes in Syria, Mr Corbyn replied: 'I can only countenance involvement in Syria if there is a UN authority behind it. 'If we could get to a process in the UN where you get to a ceasefire, you get to a political solution, you then may well get to a situation where there could be a UN force established to enforce that ceasefire. 'That surely would save a lot of lives,' he told the Andrew Marr Show. Meanwhile protests broke out today at the entrance gate of a British air base in Cyprus to denounce US-led airstrikes against the Assad regime in Syria. Around 350 demonstrators, from communist organisations in Greece and Cyprus, gathered in front of RAF Akrotiri where four Tornado warplanes took off to take part in the missile strike. Protest leader Akis Poullos said they were demanding the closure of RAF Akrotiri, with signs condemning the 'NATO killers' after the attack. Putin criticised Washington and its allies for attacking without waiting for inspectors from the international chemical weapons watchdog group to visit Douma, just outside Damascus, saying Russian military experts had found no trace of the attack. A Russian motion in the UN Security Council to condemn the airstrikes was rejected with only China and Bolivia joining Russia to vote in favour, as U.S. ambassador Nikki Haley promised the country was ready for another strike if Assad crossed the chemical weapons 'red line' in the future. Moscow's ambassador to the US, Anatoly Antonov, said: 'A pre-designed scenario is being implemented. Again, we are being threatened. We warned that such actions will not be left without consequences. All responsibility for them rests with Washington, London and Paris.' Scores of fast jets, fighters and destroyers fired more than 100 missiles at three military targets in Syria on Friday night in retaliation for President Assad's chemical weapons attack on the rebel enclave of Douma on April 7. Some 75 people, including children, are said to have died when the Syrian regime used chlorine gas and another nerve agent in Douma last Saturday. Aid workers told how chlorine could be smelled in the air and victims were found with foam in their mouth and with burning eyes. Pope Francis told the faithful in St. Peter's Square that he is `'deeply disturbed' by the international community's failure to come up with a common response to the crisis in Syria and other parts of the world. 'Despite the tools available to the international community, it is difficult to agree on a common action toward peace in Syria or other regions of the world,' the Pope told a crowd of 30,000 after his traditional Sunday blessing. The Pentagon shared details early on Saturday of the successful, coordinated missile attack on Damascus which set the Syrian regime's chemical weapons program back 'years'. At a press conference in Washington DC on Saturday morning, Lt. Gen. Kenneth McKenzie gave a detailed break-down of the 105 missiles launched, saying: 'This is going to set the program back for years. We attacked the heart of the Syrian chemical weapons program.' He also rejected the Syrian media's claim that Assad's missile defense systems took down 71 of the missiles launched, revealing that none were compromised and that they were only fired once the coordinated attack was over. Russia also claimed missiles had been intercepted. The first and largest target in the airstrikes was the Barzah Research and Development Center which was considered to be the 'heart' of the regime's chemical weapons program. The second target was the Hinshar Chemical Weapons Storage Facility. It was destroyed by 22 weapons including Scalp and Storm Shadows and three Naval cruise missiles. The third target, the Hinshar CW Bunker, was hit by seven Scalp missiles. Three civilians were injured but there have been no confirmed fatalities. On Saturday, the General said that if any deaths are reported they may well have been the result of Assad's counter fire. 'Syria shot 40 large missiles into the air using ballistic trajectory, without guidance. When we shoot iron into the air without guidance, it's going to come down somewhere,' he said. All of the US aircraft returned safely to base after the attack. Gen. McKenzie did not say where the Lancer B-1 Bombers had flown from but other officials suggested they were deployed from an airbase in Qatar. 'We met our objective. We hit our target. It was mission accomplished,' a Pentagon spokesperson said on Saturday, repeating President Trump's tweet earlier in the day. Hours after Trump hailed the missile strike targeting the Syria's suspected chemical weapons - tweeting, 'Mission Accomplished!' - Vice President Mike Pence defended the president while building support among U.S. allies for the joint strikes with Britain and France on Saturday. 'The objective of the mission the commander in chief gave our military forces and our allies was completely accomplished - with swift professionalism,' Pence told reporters, noting there were 'no reported civilian casualties.' He also had a warning for Russia: 'Our message to Russia is, 'you're on the wrong side of history,' ' Pence also said. 'It's time for Russia to get the message President Trump delivered last night. 'You're known by the company you keep.' Russia has military forces, including air defences, in several areas of Syria to support President Assad in his long war against anti-government rebels. Confusion arose over the extent to which Washington warned Moscow in advance. The Pentagon said it gave no explicit warning. The U.S. ambassador in Moscow, John Huntsman, said in a video, 'Before we took action, the United States communicated with' Russia to 'reduce the danger of any Russian or civilian casualties.' A Pentagon spokeswoman said that to her knowledge no-one communicated with Moscow other than to use a military-to-military hotline that has routinely helped minimise the risk of U.S.-Russian collisions or confrontations in Syrian airspace. Officials said this did not include giving Russian advance notice of where or when allied airstrikes would happen. France has continued to talk regularly with Russia even as East-West tensions have grown. French President Emmanuel Macron spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday, hours before the Western missile strikes. Between the jets and warships, 76 missiles annihilated the Barzah research center. Fifty-seven of those were Tomahawk missiles and 19 were Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missiles. The Tomahawks were mostly fired from the USS Monterey, a Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser and the USS Higgins, USS Laboon and the USS John Warner submarine. France deployed its Mirage and Dassault Rafale jets and reportedly used four frigate warships. It is not clear how many aircraft were deployed. Britain is believed only to have fired missiles from its Torpedoes and Typhoon aircraft. Other ships from each nation's military were in the region, including the USS Donald Cook, but did not fire any weapons. Despite the attack, Pentagon spokesperson Dana White said the US was still committed to a peaceful and diplomatic resolution to the ongoing civil war in Syria. 'Our goal has not changed. Our goal in Syria is to defeat ISIS....but Assad's actions were beyond the pale. We do not seek conflict in Syria but we cannot allow such grievous violations of international law,' she said. 'We will not stand by passively while Assad, backed by Russia and Iran, ignores international law.' Iran condemned the Western strikes on Syria, saying no country has a right to take punitive measures against another 'beyond international procedures.' The semi-official Fars news agency quoted Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif as saying that Iran had warned about the possibility that 'terrorist groups' were behind the alleged chemical attack that triggered the strikes. It said he communicated his concerns in a phone call with Boris Johnson on Sunday. Trump vows to sanction MORE airstrikes against Syria if Assad dares to use chemical weapons again, as Nikki Haley tells UN Security Council members they have FAILED miserably to tackle his evil regime President Trump has vowed to carry out further airstrikes on Syria if the regime dares to use chemical weapons again, as Nikki Haley lashed out at Russia during a fiery meeting of the UN Security Council. Scores of fast jets, fighters and destroyers fired more than 100 missiles at three military targets in Syria on Friday night in retaliation for President Assad's chemical weapons attack on the rebel enclave of Douma on April 7. While President Trump greeted the end of the attacks with a tweet saying 'mission accomplished', Ambassador Haley promised the US was ready for another strike if Assad crossed the chemical weapons 'red line' in the future. 'The time for talk ended last night,' Haley told an emergency meeting of the Security Council called by Russia. 'We are prepared to sustain this pressure, if the Syrian regime is foolish enough to test our will. 'I spoke to President Trump this morning and he said if the Syrian regime uses this poisonous gas again, the United States is locked and loaded.' She also accused the Russians of covering up crimes committed by its ally, Assad, who she said had used chemical weapons 50 times in the past seven years of warfare. President Trump said Saturday in his first comments since the air raid: 'Thank you to France and the United Kingdom for their wisdom and the power of their fine Military. Could not have had a better result. Mission Accomplished!' 'So proud of our great Military which will soon be, after the spending of billions of fully approved dollars, the finest that our Country has ever had. There won't be anything, or anyone, even close!' he tweeted. The phrase recalled a similar claim associated with President George W. Bush following the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. Bush addressed sailors aboard a Navy ship in May 2003 alongside a 'Mission Accomplished' banner, just weeks before it became apparent that Iraqis had organized an insurgency that tied down U.S. forces for years. Russia proposed a motion at the Security Council to pass a resolution condemning the airstrikes, but this was rejected with only Russia, China and Bolivia voting in favour. The White House's talking points on the airstrikes emphasized the grotesqueness of the photos of children of 'dead and dying children' as a 'call to action among the world's civilized nations.' Surrogates for the administration were told to stress in media appearance that 'actors who use these abhorrent weapons will be held accountable for their actions' but make clear that strikes 'are not intended as a provocation against the Russian Federation or its forces in Syria. We do not seek armed conflict with the Russian Federation.' Nations that can but do not act to stop horrific attacks like the one in Syria 'make themselves complicit in these outrages,' the White House instructed its allies to say, and 'everyone must understand that the costs of using chemical weapons will always outweigh any military or political benefits.' The talking points that were provided to DailyMail.com by a source also revealed the United States' intent to impose new sanctions on Russia in response to Moscow's 'ongoing support for the Assad regime' which the White House says has 'enabled the regime's atrocities against the Syrian people.' Putin warns of 'consequences' for Syria airstrikes amid fears of Russian cyber attacks on British hospitals and banks as Boris defends 'standing up for civilized values' after backlash at May Russia has delivered a dark warning of 'consequences' for the Syria strikes - as Boris Johnson passionately defended Britain's decision to stand up to 'barbarism'. The Foreign Secretary said failure to response to Bashar Assad's use of illegal chemical weapons against his own people would have undermined 'civilised values'. But amid fears of revenge attacks by Russia and criticism of Theresa May for acting without a Commons vote, Mr Johnson stressed there was no intention of getting more deeply involved in the Syrian civil war. The US, UK and France hailed their missile strikes in the early hours of yesterday morning as having successfully degraded the capability of Assad to deploy chemical weapons. The military action passed off without UK casualties or any of the Russian forces on the ground being hit. But there are over a Russian cyber backlash that could see vital services in Britain including water supplies, gas networks, banks, hospitals and air traffic control affected in retaliation for the strikes. GCHQ is thought to be monitoring the web to pick up any signs of cyber aggression from the Kremlin, following the missile strikes on Syrian chemical basis in Damascus. Moscow's ambassador to the US, Anatoly Antonov, said: 'A pre-designed scenario is being implemented. Again, we are being threatened. We warned that such actions will not be left without consequences. All responsibility for them rests with Washington, London and Paris.' There are concerns that cyber attacks could see electricity cuts, while Russian hackers could also disable water supplies, as well as energy grid and financial services being crippled suddenly. Mrs May will face MPs tomorrow after defying calls for a Commons vote to be held before the military action in Syria. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn branded the UK's air strikes 'legally questionable', forcing the Government to publish detailed legal advice justifying the bombings. It claimed 'the UK is permitted under international law, on an exceptional basis, to take measures in order to alleviate overwhelming humanitarian suffering'. A poll has suggested the public also had doubts about the raids. A Survation poll for the Mail on Sunday found nearly six out of ten believe there should be no more missile strikes unless Mrs May wins the backing of MPs. Only one in five were in favour of the PM using her executive powers to launch more raids. However, she is also rated the most trusted Prime Minister to lead the nation into war since Margaret Thatcher, beating David Cameron and Tony Blair. The Syrian children whose pain sparked the allied airstrikes: Survivors of Assad's chemical attack tell how people fell to the ground vomiting, coughing and foaming at the mouth after inhaling 'spicy' gas The suffering of Syrian children who foamed at the mouth and struggled to breathe as they were caught up in a chemical attack last week has been revealed. Children as young as seven have spoken of the horror they witnessed as the Assad regime targeted Douma, Eastern Ghouta, with chemical weapons last week. The horrific attack, which left at least 70 people dead, has spurred the West into action with the US, UK and France co-ordinating airstrikes against Syria. One girl, seven-year-old Masa, had to flee with her mother Amani while people fell to the ground around them amid clouds of white gas and dust, the Sunday Times reports from Syria. Amani, 34, told the newspaper: 'The gas was spicy. Spicy in my throat like chilli. I was vomiting and coughing. 'I couldn't control my body. I was just shaking the whole time. There wasn't oxygen.' The family and their neighbours had heard bombing outside, and discovered a gas attack when two young men went to see what was happening after hearing a hissing sound, it is reported. Amani found her husband and other daughter collapsed after inhaling the chemicals, but while her family survived everyone in the neighbouring basement died, she said. The survivors have been living in a camp in northern Syria after many of their friends and neighbours died in the Assad regime's attack. Another former resident of Douma, who now lives in exile, said eight of his neighbors - two women and their six children - were found dead and were were believed to have suffocated in their underground shelter from the poisonous gas. Donald Trump cited the Syrian children's agony when he spoke from the White House to announce U.S. airstrikes. 'The evil and despicable attack left mothers and fathers, infants and children thrashing in pain and gasping for air,' he said. Footage posted by the White Helmets showed victims with yellowed skin crumpled on the floor, white foam emerging from their mouths. The White House said doctors and aid organizations on the ground in Douma reported 'the strong smell of chlorine and described symptoms consistent with exposure to sarin.' Much of the evidence comes from witness testimony, as well as video and photos shot by aid workers, victims of the attacks and unspecified additional intelligence about barrel bombs and chlorine canisters found in the aftermath. The newspaper said unrelated survivors on the ground had reported similar symptoms suggesting they had been the victims of a chemical attack. The symptoms included coughing, vomiting and foaming at the mouth, as well as a loss of feeling in their limbs which Amani said made it hard to get upstairs. Corbyn demands law BANNING PM from taking military action without MP vote as he says he would NEVER deploy UK forces without UN backing - even though Russia has a veto Jeremy Corbyn today demanded a 'war powers' law to ban the Prime Minister from taking military action without a Commons vote. The Labour leader also made clear he does not accept that the strikes on Syria by the UK, US and France were legally justified on humanitarian grounds. And Mr Corbyn insisted he would never countenance military action without a UN resolution - even though Russia has the power to veto them. The comments - which will fuel deep splits within Labour - came amid a huge political row over Theresa May's decision to join reprisals against Bashar Assad over his use of chemical weapons. Speaking on the BBC's Andrew Marr show, Mr Corbyn said: 'I think what we need in this country is something more robust like a War Powers Act so that governments do get held to account by Parliament for what they do in our name.' The Labour leader warned of an escalation in a 'proxy war' between the US and Russia. He said chlorine has been used by 'a number of parties in the conflict' in Syria as a weapon. Mr Corbyn said that if Britain wants to 'get the moral high ground around the world' it must abide by international law for taking military action. He said the humanitarian grounds used by the UK to justify strikes was 'debatable'. 'Where is the legal basis for this?' he said. Asked if there were any circumstances in which he would back air strikes in Syria, Mr Corbyn replied: 'I can only countenance involvement in Syria if there is a UN authority behind it. 'If we could get to a process in the UN where you get to a ceasefire, you get to a political solution, you then may well get to a situation where there could be a UN force established to enforce that ceasefire. That surely would save a lot of lives.' Shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry said taking military action against the Assad regime had been the 'wrong thing to do'. She told ITV's Peston On Sunday: 'We think that it should be in law that there should be a vote in Parliament before we take military action. 'NATO killers go home': Communist protest breaks out at gates of British air base in Cyprus where RAF Tornados and Typhoons were scrambled from for missile strikes on Syria Protests have broken out at the entrance gate of a British air base in Cyprus to denounce US-led airstrikes against the Assad regime in Syria. Around 350 demonstrators, from communist organisations in Greece and Cyprus, gathered in front of RAF Akrotiri where four Tornado warplanes took off to take part in the missile strike. Protest leader Akis Poullos said they were demanding the closure of RAF Akrotiri, with signs condemning the 'NATO killers' after the attack. Britain joined the U.S. and France to launch airstrikes on suspected chemical weapons sites in Syria in response to an attack on a rebel-held area last week which killed more than 75 people. Poullos said Sunday's demonstration was also a message to the Cyprus government not to lend any assistance to 'imperialist attacks' on Syria and to demand an end to the war in the country. Protesters used red paint to write 'NATO killers go home' on a nearby wall outside the base's gate. Britain retained RAF Akrotiri and another military base on Cyprus after the east Mediterranean island gained independence in 1960. The Cyprus government said it was not given any warning about Saturday's airstrikes. It also said British Prime Minister Theresa May assured Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades that there was no danger to Cyprus and that Cypriots can feel secure.

Heightening Mid-East Tensions

By Hal Lindsey

On Saturday, Syria apparently launched another chemical attack against its people — including small children … By the time you read this, the expected US military response may have already begun … Russia has warned that it will shoot down US missiles and even target the US naval vessels that fire the missilesAfter the chemical attack, came a mystery air strike against Syria — probably launched by IsraelRussia then began a war of words with Israel, finally showing their long-held but usually camouflaged disdain for the Jewish stateHamas continues to stir up violent anti-Israel protests along Israel’s Gaza border Iran says it will soon restart its nuclear program — as if it had ever actually stopped. And that’s just part of what’s gone on, in only the last few days! The first big question is whether the Trump Administration can really be sure that Syria launched the chemical attack. Russia and Syria both deny it. That’s what they would say in either case, but the timing seems suspicious. Only a few days ago, the President said that with ISIS defeated, he wanted to pull US troops out of Syria, and soon. That would seem to be in Syria’s favor. Why rock the boat now? But while tweeting on the subject, Mr. Trump made a good case that the chemical attack really was a Syrian operation. “Many dead,” he tweeted, “including women and children, in mindless CHEMICAL attack in Syria. Area of atrocity is in lockdown and encircled by Syrian Army, making it completely inaccessible to outside world. President Putin, Russia and Iran are responsible for backing Animal Assad. Big price...” If the area is “in lockdown and encircled by Syrian Army… completely inaccessible to outside world,” then who else could it be? As President, Donald Trump surely knows the facts, and he has no reason to lie about it. After all, a Syrian chemical attack will delay the troop withdrawal he’s anxious for. The President answered the last major chemical attack in Syria by launching 59 cruise missiles at Syria’s Shayrat Airbase. Most observers expect a bigger response this time, but Russia’s increasingly close relationship with Syria and Iran complicates things. Alexander Zasypkin, Russia’s ambassador to Lebanon, made an ominous threat. He said, “If there is a strike by the Americans, then… the missiles will be downed and even the sources from which the missiles were fired.” It’s unlikely that Russia has the ability to shoot down US cruise missiles. It’s also unlikely that they would actually try to sink the US Navy ships launching the attacks. But even the threat shows how dangerous things have become. A world soaked in gasoline is playing with matches. President Trump has worked hard to form a better relationship with Russia. But by the time of Trump’s election, Putin’s course was already set. He committed to it when he sent the Russian military into Syria in 2015. It’s ironic that Trump’s critics have called him weak on Russia and have demanded a more hardline approach. Yesterday’s peaceniks have turned into today’s warmongers. But in this case, the President has pulled no punches. He directly blamed Putin for Assad’s action, and practically dared Russia to try and stop the US response. On Wednesday, President Trump tweeted, “Russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at Syria. Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and ‘smart!’ You shouldn’t be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it!” Assad has placed his troops on alert, evacuating bases near the border with Lebanon, and transporting personnel to Russian installations — presumably safe from a US missile strike. The “mystery air strike” took place Monday on an air base in the Homs province. At first, Syria blamed the US. But after the Pentagon issued a strong denial, they and the Russians switched the blame to Israel. Was it Israel? They didn’t confirm it, but neither did they deny it. Israeli Defense Forces play their cards close to the vest. Just last month they finally acknowledged an air strike on a Syrian nuclear reactor way back in 2007. The Syrian civil war began four years later, so we can all be glad that Israel chose to forcibly shut down the Syrian nuclear program. The strike on Monday caused the deaths of several Iranians as well as Syrians. There were no Russian deaths or injuries reported, but Russia had soldiers assigned to the base. That’s a problem for US forces as well. We don’t know for sure where Russian soldiers are embedded with Syrians. On Monday, Israeli fighter jets hit a Hamas target in Gaza. It was clearly a military target, and no one was hurt. But Russia used it as another excuse to ramp up their anti-Israel rhetoric. In January, Putin and Netanyahu met at the Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center in Moscow. They seemed to hit it off. Netanyahu’s main purpose in the trip was to express concern about Iran’s stronghold in Syria, and their movement of advanced weaponry into Lebanon and Syria. The two got along well, but looking at it now, the effort seems to have been wasted. Putin knows that his alliance with Iran is one of the chief causes of unrest in the region. He’s playing a dangerous, high-stakes game. Newsweek reported on Wednesday that Russia is instructing its citizens to stock up on water and buy gas masks in anticipation of nuclear war. The world right now is teetering on many dangerous precipices. All of them fit the dramatic scenario laid out in the Bible for the end times. For Christian believers, I have two pieces of extremely good news. First, God has already shown us how these things eventually work out. We win! In the meantime, we will face difficulties. But that’s where the second piece of good news comes in. God’s promises remain in effect even when the world seems to be falling apart. Trust Him.

Trump discovers that leaving Syria tougher than he thought

AP

WASHINGTON (April 15, 2018) — In heated exchanges with his national security team in recent weeks, President Donald Trump repeatedly made clear he saw little incentive for the United States to be involved in Syria’s intractable civil war. Then he pushed the U.S. military back into the quagmire. In doing so, Trump is trying to confront a dilemma that haunted his predecessor, Barack Obama. Syria’s seven-year civil war presents few fast or easy solutions for the U.S., yet the geopolitical rivalries at play, the presence of the Islamic State group and other extremists, and the atrocities perpetrated by the Assad government make the situation impossible to ignore. Thus far, Trump and his top advisers have sent mixed messages about what Friday’s U.S., British and French strikes may mean for his administration’s future commitment in Syria. The strikes themselves were limited — 105 weapons launched against three targets. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis described the action as a “one-time shot” in retaliation for the Syrian government’s apparent use of chemical weapons in an April 7 attack that killed more than 40 people. Trump, however, cast the strikes in more sweeping terms, promising he was ready to keep the U.S. military engaged if Syrian President Bashar Assad were to use deadly gases again. “We are prepared to sustain this response until the Syrian regime stops its use of prohibited chemical agents,” Trump said in a televised address to the nation from the White House on Friday night. His comments were echoed Saturday by Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, who said the president told her the military was “locked and loaded” if Syria launched another chemical weapons attack. The president’s statement was a marked shift from his recent posture on Syria. Earlier this month, he privately told advisers that the U.S. was getting “nothing” out of being involved in Syria and he made clear he wanted the 2,000 American troops currently there fighting ISIS militants out by the fall. That order left many of Trump’s national security advisers on edge, concerned that pulling out even that small U.S. force would result in a power vacuum that Iran could fill. It did win him praise from political supporters who perceive Syria as a costly wasteland and see Trump as a president who promised an “America First” agenda that did not include sustained American military commitments overseas. The importance of that pledge to some Trump backers quickly became apparent, with even the relatively limited American intervention in Syria leaving them deeply frustrated. “This is not why Donald Trump got elected,” said Laura Ingraham, the Fox News host who has been supportive of the president. Ann Coulter, another conservative commentator, spent the weekend highlighting angry messages on Twitter from apparent Trump supporters, including one who wrote that while the “the direct damage was some buildings in Damascus; the collateral damage was Trump’s political support base.” If Trump was bothered by the growing criticism, he didn’t show it. He took to Twitter on Saturday morning and wrote “Mission Accomplished” — adopting a phrase that haunted President George W. Bush during the Iraq war. For some, those two words represent the short-sightedness about how quickly the U.S. can become entangled in a protracted Middle East conflict. Trump’s view of the situation on Syria has shifted repeatedly in recent years. As a private citizen in 2013, he said Obama should “stay the hell out of Syria.” Trump condemned Obama for declaring that Syria’s use of chemical weapons would cross a “red line” for the United States and he said it made Obama look weak when he didn’t follow through with a military strike after Assad used deadly gases against civilians. Less than three months after Trump took office, the U.S. assessed that Assad had again used chemical weapons to kill Syrians. Moved by the images of dead children, Trump stunned many of his own supporters by saying that the action had crossed “many, many lines” for him. He ordered a U.S. airstrike on a Syrian air base. Since then, Trump’s views on the situation in Syria have evolved. Earlier this year, he began telling advisers that as soon as the U.S. could declare victory against IS, which has taken hold in Syria amid the chaos of the civil war, he wanted American troops out. At a recent event in Ohio, Trump said of Syria: “Let other people take care of it now.” Just one week later came the attack that drew Trump back in.

Russian Superweapons

By Hal Lindsey

President Trump’s critics seem to have their wish. The Cold War is on again! Over the last few days, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a series of new superweapons. Among those weapons is what he called an “invincible,” nuclear-capable, intercontinental cruise missile that travels at 20 times the speed of sound. He said, “No defense systems will be able to withstand it.” According to Russian media, the so-called “Satan 2” can wipe out an area the size of Texas or France. Putin also showed off next-generation ICBMs, underwater drones, and nuclear depth charges. Russia recently announced development of a nuclear-armed torpedo that can take out aircraft carriers as well as coastal cities. “Efforts to contain Russia have failed, face it,” Putin said. There is good evidence that Russia is at least close to putting these new devices into production. The US must assume that the weapons are as capable as advertised. That means a new arms race, and a far more dangerous world. Donald J. Trump is not a traditional conservative. In the past, conservatives tended to take a hard line with the Russians and, before that, with the Soviet Union. Liberals, on the other hand, emphasized the need for communication and cooperation. Clearly, there are appropriate situations for each of those approaches. Before the Trump presidential campaign, you could usually guess where someone stood on Russia by looking at their other political positions. That’s still true in 2018, but the roles have been reversed. Trump and a new generation of conservatives want friendship and cooperation with Russia — the liberals seem itching for a fight. The Trump Administration, and before that, the Trump campaign, were roundly criticized for not being tough enough on Russia. During 2016, Trump told Bill O’Reilly, “If we can make a great deal for our country and get along with Russia that would be a tremendous thing. I would love to try it.” In July of that year, he said, “I would treat Vladimir Putin firmly, but there’s nothing I can think of that I’d rather do than have Russia friendly.” Later, he said, “Wouldn’t it be a great thing if we could get along with Russia?” In an October debate, Hillary Clinton called Trump, Putin’s “puppet.” In that same debate, Trump accused Clinton of playing a game of nuclear “chicken” with the Russians. So, Donald Trump, champion of conservatives, has tried to take a relatively liberal position concerning Putin and the Russians. At the same time, liberals have suddenly decided it’s time to get tough with Russia. They accuse Trump of going easy on Putin. They claim his softer approach comes from making a deal with Putin to help him get elected — the so-called Russian collusion. The problem is that their best evidence so far does not hold up. Much of the media agrees with the liberals that the President’s peaceful overtures to Russia raise a red flag. CNN ran a long article that included 80 quotes of Trump talking positively about Putin. The quotes started in 2013 when Trump, the owner of the Miss Universe pageant, held that pageant in Moscow. Most of the 2016 quotes come from the campaign trail. All politicians use a standard stump speech, and Trump’s standard speech called for America to try to work cooperatively with Russia. But CNN said, “His glowing statements on Putin have become central in stoking the suspicion that he and his campaign were somehow connected to Russian interference in the election.” So far in his dealings with Moscow, President Trump has shown no evidence of wanting to give away the store — as have some of his predecessors. If he or she does not diminish America’s strategic position, a President should be allowed to work toward a peaceful relationship with a former enemy without being called a traitor. Calling for peaceful negotiation should not be seen as evidence of illegal collusion. These Russian next-generation weapons have been in the works for years, if not decades. That means we can’t blame them on President Trump, or his critics. But it clearly hurts the US position when any overture of peace the President may extend toward Russia is presented to the US public as a sign of collusion. Russia’s new superweapons, along with those of China, are quickly changing the world’s balance of power. The Russians’ cyber campaign to disrupt US elections, along with this massive new upgrade to their weapons of mass destruction, mean that Trump will have to deal with them as enemies before he can work with them as friends. And make no mistake, they are a formidable enemy. Bible prophecy presents Russia as one of the major players on the world stage during the last days — capable of quickly unleashing awesome destructive force. Like the United States, Israel has a whole arsenal of missile defense systems — all of them apparently made obsolete by Russia’s new missiles. In fact, the Bible says that Russia’s future attack on Israel will not be stopped by human military might. They will be defeated by God Himself. The countdown to the end of the age continues.

7 inmates killed in 'mass casualty incident' at SC maximum security prison

By Dwayne Mclemore, Teddy Kulmala And Emily Bohatch dmclemore@thestate.com tkulmala@thestate.com ebohatch@thestate.com

April 16, 2018 06:18 AM Updated 24 minutes ago

Seven inmates were killed during fights that lasted more than seven hours at a South Carolina prison Sunday night and into Monday morning, according to officials. At least six emergency agencies responded to the "mass casualty incident" at Lee Correctional Institution in Lee County that resulted in the seven inmate deaths and 17 other inmates requiring medical attention, the S.C. Department of Corrections announced early Monday morning. The fight, which spanned three dorms, was likely gang related, and spawned from a disagreement over territory, contraband and cellphones, SC Department of Corrections Director Brian Stirling said. "These folks are fighting over real money and real territory while they're incarcerated," Stirling said. Though most of the autopsies have yet to be performed, it appears that many of the prisoners died from stabbing or slashing wounds from "shanks," Lee County Coroner Larry Logan said. The official cause of death will not be determined until after the autopsies. Videos that reportedly were taken by inmates inside the prison and shared to social media show the grisly scene after the riot. One video, which was shot from what looks like a catwalk on the upper level of a cellblock, shows towels or clothing items on the floor and a long trail of what appears to be smeared blood leading to a larger puddle of blood near a wall. Another video shows a bloody man lying on his side against a wall, not moving. The seven victims were identified Monday morning. Logan said coroner's offices from across the state reached out to him and offered to assist on the numerous autopsies. An inmate told The Associated Press that bodies at the prison were "literally stacked on top of each other" and that hours after the violence started, no correctional officers or medical personnel attended to the dead or dying. Lee County Fire and Rescue said in a Facebook post Monday morning that it assisted with the incident at Lee Correctional Institution. EMS crews from Florence County, Kershaw County, Lexington County and Hartsville also responded. Inmates were taken to two hospitals in Florence, one hospital in Hartsville and Palmetto Health-Tuomey in Sumter, Lee County EMS Director Tim DuBose said. A mass casualty bus from Lexington County took some to Palmetto Health Richland. The S.C. Department of Corrections said on Twitter around the same time that an incident involving "multiple inmate on inmate altercations" in three housing units at the prison began around 7:15 p.m. Sunday. Corrections officers saw the fight break out in the first dorm, called for back up and waited for response teams around the state to come to their aide, Stirling said. About 44 personnel were present at the prison, double what's normally on shift. At about 8:30 p.m., fights broke out in two more dorms, Stirling said. At 9 p.m., other teams across the state were activated and called to Lee Correctional. The S.C. Law Enforcement Department responded about 20 minutes later. As the clock approached 11:30 p.m., responders entered the first dorm to take it back from prisoners, Stirling said. An hour later, they retook the second. The third dorm wasn't recaptured until 2 a.m. The prison was secure just before 3 a.m., according to the Department of Corrections. The Department of Corrections, the S.C. Law Enforcement Department and Lee county officials worked together to help secure the facility, SLED spokesman Thom Berry said. “We are also continuing to work with Department of Corrections on the investigation into what began this incident and the subsequent fights that broke out,” Berry said. EMS personnel didn't clear the prison until about 5 a.m., DuBose said. The department said all responding officers and emergency workers are safe and accounted for. The maximum-security facility that houses about 1,600 inmates in Bishopville, about 55 miles from Columbia, is home to some of South Carolina's most violent, longest-serving offenders. In recent years, there have been several large insurrections, including one in which an inmate overpowered a guard and used his keys to free others from their cells. The seven deaths at Lee Correctional are the most in any S.C. prison in recent history, The Associated Press reported. Four inmates were killed last year by fellow prisoners at the state's Kirkland Correctional Institution in Columbia. The prison has had several violent incidents over the years. Sunday's fatal fights came three weeks after inmates briefly held an officer hostage and took control of part of a dorm at the Bishopville prison. An inmate died during a fight in the prison last July. In January 2016, five inmates were injured in a fight in one of the housing units. Five months later, one inmate was killed and another injured during an incident. Five corrections officers were injured during a December 2007 attack by three inmates in one of the dorms. In June 2012, the prison was placed on lockdown after a guard was taken hostage. Over the span of 2012 to 2013, the prison was taken over twice by inmates. Check back for updates.

Trump warns Syria, Russia to 'get ready' for US missiles

04/11/2018 7:18:36 AM Updated on 04/11/2018 8:31:42 AM Written by i24NEWS

'Smart missiles should fly toward terrorists, not legal governments' Russian FM said in response US President Donald Trump warned Russia on Wednesday to prepare itself for a US attack on its bases in Syria, after the Kremlin warned about destabilizing the already fragile situation in the region. In a provocative tweet, Trump wrote: “Russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at Syria. Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and “smart!” You shouldn’t be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it!” Russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at Syria. Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and “smart!” You shouldn’t be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 11, 2018

Our relationship with Russia is worse now than it has ever been, and that includes the Cold War. There is no reason for this. Russia needs us to help with their economy, something that would be very easy to do, and we need all nations to work together. Stop the arms race?

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 11, 2018

"Smart rockets should be aimed at terrorists, rather than the legitimate government, which has for several years been fighting international terrorism on its territory," foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a Facebook post responding to the US threat. Moscow also suggested that any US strikes could destroy alleged evidence from the chemical attack in Douma, the last rebel-held enclave in Syria, on Saturday. On Saturday more than 40 people died in Damascus suburb in an attack, which left victims wheezing, with discolored skin and foaming at the mouth. The Kremlin, only a few hours earlier, urged restraint in Syria saying that countries should avoid taking action that could further destabilize the war-torn country, as the US mulled action. "As before we would hope that all sides will avoid steps that in reality are not provoked by anything and that could destabilize the already fragile situation in the region," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists. In recent days, the threat of a US strike is seeming increasingly likely. President Donald Trump has made it clear he plans to make Assad, and his Russian and Iranian backers, “pay a big price” for the latest toxic gas atrocity of Syria's civil war. He has threatened to respond “forcefully.” But the UN Security Council failure to agree a global response to the incident, after Washington and Moscow opposed each other's rival motions to set up an international investigation into the use of chemical weapon in Syria, has stalled the possibility of a strike. However, Washington's UN ambassador Nikki Haley said that the failure to secure a Security Council vote would not hold America and its allies back. The White House has reiterated it has “a lot of options militarily” and will decide in the coming days. Syria's government has repeatedly denied accusations of using banned weapons such as chlorine or sarin throughout the country's seven-year war. Russia has said that allegations of chemical weapons were not based upon real facts and urged an impartial investigation into the incident. Douma has been heavily bombed by Syria and Russia making it extremely difficult for media to independently verify the claims. Amid the back and forth fiery rhetoric, European airspace authorities have warned aircraft carriers to be cautious when flying close to Syria over the next few days due to the prospect of military reprisals against Assad’s army. In a notice posted to Eurocontrol’s website, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) said: “Due to the possible launch of airstrikes into Syria with air-to-ground and/or cruise missiles within the next 72 hours, and the possibility of intermittent disruption of radio navigation equipment, due consideration needs to be taken.”

What Next?

By Hal Lindsey

The western media remains fixated on Washington, but outside of D.C., the world is spinning toward a series of potential catastrophes. Decisions made over the coming days will affect the future of all humanity. I could illustrate this by examining any of the world’s regions. But, for now, let’s focus on the nations in and around Syria. One of the eeriest specters of our time is the image of Russia and Iran sitting on Israel’s doorstep in Syria. The well-known prophecy in Ezekiel 38 tells of a coming battle with those two countries leading a coalition of nations against Israel. Russia arrived in Syria ostensibly to fight ISIS. Will they leave when ISIS is defeated? I doubt it. Bashar al-Assad, Syria’s President, is no longer his own man. He sold his soul to Vladimir Putin, the mad mullahs running Iran, and the Hezbollah terror group. Putin needs to maintain a foothold in the Middle East — the closer to Israel, the better. The natural gas fields found in the waters off the Israeli coast are a game-changer for Russia. With the discovery of those fields, Israel became a major player in the world’s energy picture. Israel does not yet have the infrastructure needed to sell fuel to the world at large, but their reserves are huge. Israel could break Russia’s monopoly on gas for Europe possibly making it in Russia’s interest to stir up a war in the region. What will Hezbollah do next? One of the most underreported facts of the Middle East is that Hezbollah has a larger stockpile of missiles than all NATO countries (except the U.S.) combined. And these aren’t bottle rockets. They’re sophisticated, high-quality missiles. Hezbollah has become so powerful in Lebanon, that the government works with them as partners. They sit on Israel’s northern border in both Lebanon and Syria. But their presence is not limited to the Middle East. They have been patiently building a physical and organizational infrastructure in South America — primarily by providing weapons to the drug cartels. This generates cash, but, more importantly, it gives them a land route into the United States. Because the U.S. southern border has been so porous for so long, we don’t know if they have transferred personnel or weapons into the country. But it’s hard to imagine that they haven’t. Hezbollah is probably the wealthiest terror group on earth. They have their own nefarious money-making enterprises. But they built their vast arsenal of weapons primarily with funding from Iran. Will Iran stay in Syria once ISIS has been defeated there? In the last few years, Iran has been consolidating the region’s Shiite Muslims under its control. Their support of Shiite militias in Iraq has been one of the keys to defeating ISIS there. Iran is the primary sponsor of civil war in Yemen, where they back the Shiite Houthi rebels. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is an Alawite Muslim. Alawites are a branch of Shiite Islam. And so, they support him. But they expect his loyalty in return. So far, President Trump has not been able to do anything publicly to slow down Iran’s march toward the acquisition of an arsenal of nuclear weapons. But that was a major part of his campaign for President. I think he will act, but the difficulties are innumerable. And right now, his presidency remains embroiled in a series of domestic controversies that make accomplishing anything internationally, especially difficult. Then there’s ISIS. For a while, it did something few terror groups have ever done. It amassed a large territory, and declared itself a caliphate. Now it’s losing ground. Its dreams of a new Islamic State grow dimmer by the day. But ISIS is not done. People who live in apartment buildings often complain when a neighbor sprays for cockroaches. Some of the roaches die, but others just move to neighboring apartments. That’s ISIS in 2017. They have agents and sympathizers in countries all over the world. Their hopes of a caliphate may have been put on hold, but the bloodlust that caused so many beheadings and mass murders has not subsided. They will continue to kill for the killing’s sake — and they will do it all over the world. The emphasis on dismantling ISIS caused a strengthening of other terror groups. I’m not criticizing anyone here. It was correct to make the destruction of ISIS the priority. But during this time, we’ve seen al-Qaeda dramatically strengthened — especially in Syria. Earlier this month, the United States and Russia announced a ceasefire in Syria. U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the Russians now “see the situation in Syria transitioning from the defeat of ISIS… to this discussion with them as to what do we do to stabilize Syria once the war against ISIS is won.” Defeating ISIS in Syria will not end the civil war there, but it will end a major component of it. As that war winds down, there are strong indications that some of the big guns that have been protecting Assad, will now turn against Israel. Iran has long been obsessed with Israel. Their most elite special forces unit is called the “Quds Force.” A Quds unit deployed to Lebanon in 1982, assisted in the formation of Hezbollah. The name “al-Quds” means Jerusalem. That makes their goal and purpose clear. With its position on Israel’s northeast border, Syria provides Iran with a stepping stone to Jerusalem. These groups will become more dangerous to Israel as the war in Syria winds down. What will the United States do? What can it do? Where will Europe stand? Don’t make the mistake of thinking these conflicts will remain confined to the Middle East. Intercontinental ballistic missiles give rogue nations enough reach to start World War III. As world tensions mount, it’s comforting to remember that God warned us in advance about perilous times in the last days. It’s also clear from scripture, that God’s loving care, and His many promises, still apply even in times of danger. Soon, He will take us out of this world. In the meantime, He’s got your back.

For as I have said unto you and as you have noticed the weather, the weather, the weather, the troubles that are going on here, the troubles that are going on there, the preparation for war, not just North Korea but Russia and other countries that hate America, they are preparing and getting ready.  For the hour is much later than most people think, it is far later than those that are walking in the false and tell you that you have ten, twenty, thirty years, far later.  But many of them do not understand the word because the word starts in the very beginning in Genesis and as you follow the things through the Bible you get a clear picture of what it was like and what it shall return to, for I have taught you everything goes in a circle and we are headed back now toward the garden once again.  It started in the garden and ends in a sense in the garden way before the white throne judgment.  Things are coming to pass, if you check them very carefully they will all fall in perfect place and you don’t have to walk in doubt, you don’t have to walk in fear, for I have opened your understanding.  Yes, demon activity is far greater, far greater today than it has been, but if you go back to the time of Nimrod you will see the same thing right there.  You will see why I had to cause the languages to be divided and the people to be separated, because they had a mind and whatever they thought, they were purposing to do and today we are seeing the very same things. It is not something new my children, for if you read what I have written and don’t add in to it, you will have a clear picture of everything that is taking place and you will even understand exactly where you are.  For I have spoken to you about the antichrist taking on his new spirit, that should tell you something by itself, that alone is a giant key that I have given unto my church that they may wake up and walk in the fullness of the things that I have given unto them.  Remember this winter it is not over, I will keep this area safe, it will be far safer than other areas, but winter is not over.

Military Terrorism Complex

By Hal Lindsey

Not long ago in this space, I talked about one of the most underreported facts of the Middle East — that the Lebanese terror group known as Hezbollah has a larger stockpile of missiles than all NATO countries (except the U.S.) combined. The terror group is reported to have approximately 150,000 missiles in the field, ready to go. Hezbollah is the most powerful non-state military actor in the world. They have 20,000 active duty troops and another 25,000 reservists. They are known to have a vast number of deep and sophisticated tunnel and bunker complexes across southern Lebanon, and entering Israel under its northern border. Where does a terrorist group get the weapons and money to build such an immense military machine? It primarily comes from their fellow Shiite Muslims in Iran. In June, we learned that Hezbollah’s military capabilities have taken a dramatic turn. ISIS differentiated itself from other terror groups by taking territory from existing nations, and attempting to build a caliphate on it. But Hezbollah has done them one better. They are building their own industrial infrastructure capable of producing precision weapons, primarily missiles. Israeli Defense Forces Intelligence Chief, Maj.-Gen. Herzl Halevi, said, “We are seeing Hezbollah building a domestic military industry on Lebanese soil based on Iranian know-how. Hezbollah is producing weapons systems and transporting them to southern Lebanon…. Over the past year, Iran is working to establish infrastructure for the independent production of precision weapons in Lebanon and Yemen.” In 2006, Israel and Hezbollah fought a 34-day war. It ended with the Lebanese cabinet, Hezbollah’s strongman leader, and the Israeli Knesset agreeing to the terms of UN Security Council Resolution 1701. Among other things, that resolution provided for “the disarmament of all armed groups in Lebanon…. There will be no weapons or authority in Lebanon other than that of the Lebanese State.” That should have been the end of an armed Hezbollah. But instead, they have had an explosion of military capability in the intervening years. In other words, Hezbollah’s promise isn’t worth the paper it’s written on, and the UN remains a toothless tiger. The resolution also required Hezbollah to stay north of the Litani River. It runs about 18 miles north of and roughly parallel to Lebanon’s border with Israel. Most of their force remains north of the river, but they are building observation towers next to the border. You might wonder how UN peacekeepers could overlook something so obvious. Before I tell you how Hezbollah gets away with it, go ahead and swallow any liquid you may be drinking — because this could definitely provoke choking. Hezbollah is able to work along the border because they made up their own environmental organization — “Green Without Borders.” They say they plan to plant a million trees. Oh, and they just happen to want to plant those trees in South Lebanon — near the border with Israel. Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) released photographs and video showing “Green Without Borders” building large observation towers along the border. The UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) issued a statement supposedly contradicting the IDF. It says its members have “not observed any unauthorized armed persons at the locations or found any basis to report a violation of resolution 1701.” But Israel did not accuse Hezbollah of sending “armed persons” south of the Litani. They accused them of building observation towers. UNIFIL did not deny the basic accusation, nor did they explain why a group whose primary purpose is to plant trees, needs observation towers directly on the border. UNIFIL was formed in 2006, not only to keep Hezbollah north of the Litani River, but to oversee Hezbollah’s disarmament. During the intervening years, Hezbollah’s military power has grown into something far greater than that of most nations. After a failure of such proportions, how does UNIFIL have any credibility left? With ISIS, the world saw the danger, and nations have been cooperating to rein it in. But with Hezbollah, the nations of the world are turning a blind eye, despite the obvious and massive violations of UN resolutions. Only Israel seems concerned about Hezbollah. And it should be. Look at a map of the region. With Damascus and other key Syrian assets in the hands of Iran and Russia, Iran has a direct pipeline to Hezbollah in Lebanon. And with Iran’s growing oil wealth, they can give Hezbollah all the assets it needs. In the early 1980s, Iran created Hezbollah. Now, the terror group has become an extension of Iran’s power in the region. Hezbollah caused massive difficulties for Israel in 2006. At that time, they had 15,000 rockets. Now they have ten times that number. Plus, the 150,000 missiles they presently have are both more sophisticated and more destructive than the 15,000 from eleven years ago. The old ones didn’t have nearly the payload of the new ones, nor did they have the precision guidance systems of the new ones. These weapons are not defensive, but offensive in nature. Hezbollah and Iran have made their intentions clear. They mean to destroy Israel from the face of the earth. God promises to preserve Israel during and after the current regathering, but the nation will experience terrible days. With Hezbollah and so many other armies poised to strike their small nation, you can see why Israel will one day agree to a peace treaty with Antichrist. He will promise what they will crave most — peace and safety. And then he will deliver a reign of destruction. In the end, however, all God’s promises to Israel will be kept. At the end of the book, they turn to the true Messiah. They win… as do all those who put their trust in Jesus.

U.S. officials confirm Israel hit Syria after suspected Ghouta chemical attack

The strike came hours after a deadly suspected poison gas attack near Damascus.

by The Associated Press, Ken Dilanian and Courtney Kube / Apr.09.2018 / 7:15 AM ET / Updated Apr.09.2018 / 8:43 AM ET

WASHINGTON — Israel carried out airstrikes against a Syrian air base early Monday morning and informed the U.S. in advance, two U.S. officials told NBC News. The pre-dawn missile attack came hours after a deadly suspected poison gas attack on the last remaining foothold for rebels fighting the Assad regime. A war-monitoring group said the overnight airstrikes killed 14 people, according to the Associated Press. Russia's Defense Ministry said two Israeli aircraft targeted the T4 air base in Homs Province, firing eight missiles. It said Syria shot down five missiles while the other three landed in the western part of the base. Israel's foreign ministry had no comment when the AP asked about the reports. Since 2012, Israel has struck inside Syria more than 100 times, mostly targeting suspected weapons' convoys destined for the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, which has been fighting alongside Syrian government forces. Most recently, Israel hit the same T4 base in February, after it said an Iranian drone that had violated Israeli airspace took off from the base. The base, which was used as a launching pad for counter offensive attacks against Islamic State militants who were at one point stationed close by, is near the Shayrat air base, which was targeted by U.S. missiles last year in response to a chemical weapons attack. President Donald Trump on Sunday warned there would be a "big price to pay" after Saturday's suspected poison gas attack in the eastern suburbs of Damascus. At least 40 people were killed in that assault, including families found in their homes and shelters, opposition activists and local rescuers said. Trump blamed Syrian government forces for what he called a "mindless CHEMICAL attack." In a series of tweets, Trump held Russia and Iran, Syrian President Bashar Assad's chief sponsors, responsible. In his tweets Sunday, the president called Assad an "animal" and delivered a rare personal criticism of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump has declared his intent to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria in the coming months, despite resistance from many of his advisers. Trump was expected to meet with senior military leadership later Monday, as his new national security adviser, John Bolton, assumes his post. Bolton has previously advocated significant airstrikes against Syria. The Syrian government denied the chemical weapons allegations, calling them fabrications. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov called reports of the attack a "provocation." He said the Russian military visited the site of the suspected attack and found no traces of the chemicals. First responders entering apartments in Douma late Saturday said they found bodies collapsed on floors, some foaming at the mouth. The opposition's Syrian Civil Defense rescue organization said the victims appeared to have suffocated. More than 500 people, mostly women and children, were brought to medical centers complaining of difficulties breathing, foaming at the mouth and burning sensations in the eyes. Some had bluish skin, a sign of oxygen deprivation, according to a statement, symptoms consistent with chemical exposure. Syria's state news agency SANA said the overnight airstrike resulted in a number of casualties but provided no specific figures. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors the war through a network of activists on the ground, said 14 died, including Iranians and also three Syrian officers. Rami Abdurrahman, the Observatory's chief, said the assault targeted a mobile air defense unit and some buildings inside the air base. He added that it also hit posts outside the base used by the Iranians and Iran-backed fighters. Israel fears Iran could use Syria's territory to stage attacks on it. The U.S. launched several dozen Tomahawk cruise missiles at a Syrian air base last year, after a chemical attack in the northern Syrian town of Khan Sheikhoun killed dozens of people. Syria denies ever using chemical weapons during the war and says it eliminated its chemical arsenal under a 2013 agreement brokered by the U.S. and Russia.

Asian shares meander following gains on upbeat trade talk

By ELAINE KURTENBACH AP Business Writer April 11, 2018 12:42 AM Updated 10 hours 48 minutes ago

Shares were mixed in Asia on Wednesday, trading in a narrow range after overnight gains following conciliatory comments on trade by Chinese President Xi Jinping. Xi's pledge to cut tariffs on imported cars and improve intellectual property protection was seen as a step toward easing trade tensions. KEEPING SCORE: Japan's Nikkei 225 stock index lost 0.2 percent to 21,750.92 and the Kospi in South Korea was flat at 2,450.82. Hong Kong's Hang Seng jumped 0.8 percent to 30,960.72 and the Shanghai Composite index surged 0.9 percent to 3,219.07. Australia's S&P ASX 200 dipped 0.3 percent to 5,340.70. Shares rose in Taiwan and in most Southeast Asian markets. WALL STREET: Facebook, Twitter and Snap rallied as senators questioned Mark Zuckerberg about the Cambridge Analytica privacy scandal that has engulfed the company over the last four weeks. Technology companies have stumbled as investors wondered if the government will implement tighter regulations on technology companies, and those worries eased Tuesday. Zuckerberg will testify before the House of Representatives later Wednesday. The S&P 500 index surged 1.7 percent to 2,656.87. The Dow gained 1.8 percent to 24,408. The Nasdaq composite added 2.1 percent to 7,094.30 and the Russell 2000 index of smaller-company stocks advanced 1.9 percent, to 1,543.43.

CHINA FACTOR: General Motors, which has major manufacturing operations in China, rose 3.3 percent after Chinese President Xi Jinping promised changes in some areas that the U.S. has identified as priorities. He didn't address other thorny topics including requirements for foreign companies to give technology to potential local competitors. So far the U.S. has proposed tariffs on $50 billion worth of products made in China, and China has said it could put tariffs on an equivalent amount of goods imported from the U.S. Also, President Donald Trump has directed his trade representative to look into targeting another $100 billion in Chinese goods. ENERGY: Benchmark U.S. crude shed 16 cents to $65.35 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. It rose 3.3 percent to $65.51 a barrel on Tuesday. Brent crude, used to price international oils, lost 23 cents to $70.76 per barrel. It had added 3.5 percent to $71.04 a barrel in London. Oil prices have yoyo'd recently as investors wonder if the trade dispute will hamper global economic growth. CURRENCIES: The dollar slipped to 107.06 yen from 107.20. The euro rose to $1.2365 from $1.2357.

Trump tweets ‘Get ready Russia, missiles will be coming nice and new and ‘smart’!’ warning Russia against threats to attack US over Syria

U.S. President Donald Trump speaks during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, March 5, 2018 in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, D.C. (Olivier Douliery/Abaca Press/TNS) April 11, 2018 Editorial Staff

Early Wednesday morning, President Donald Trump tweeted that Russia should get ready because missiles will be coming “nice and new and ‘smart'” and chastised Russia for partnering with a “gas killing animal,” referring to Syrian President Bashar Assad. “Russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at Syria. Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and ‘smart!’ You shouldn’t be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it,” Trump tweeted.

Russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at Syria. Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and “smart!” You shouldn’t be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it!

6:57 AM - Apr 11, 2018

The tweet comes after Russia threatened the U.S. that it will attack the United States over a potential airstrike after Syria attacked its own citizens with chemical gas weapons that killed up to 70 people over the weekend, including women and children. Russia said reports of chemical weapons attacks were untrue and “bogus,” despite monitoring watch groups describing the horror on the ground – including children and adults foaming at the mouth. Russia has since aggressively threatened the United States if it were to fire any missiles at Syria in response to the chemical gas attacks. On Tuesday, Russia’s ambassador to Lebanon said: “U.S. missiles fired at Syria would be shot down and the launch sites targeted.” And Russian Army Gen. Valery Gerasimov also warned the U.S. Tuesday, if it were to launch airstrikes against Syria. “In the event of a threat to our military servicemen’s lives, Russia’s Armed Forces will take retaliatory measures to target both the missiles and their delivery vehicles,” Gerasimov said, state-run media TASS News Agency reported. On Monday, an airstrike, reportedly by Israel, attacked a Syrian government air base, killing an estimated 14 people, in response to Assad’s attack on his own people.

Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis said earlier this week that the U.S. won’t rule out airstrikes on Syria after the chemical attack. U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley called out Assad on the floor of the United Nations this week, too, saying that “only a monster would do this.” “The Russian regime, whose hands are also covered in the blood of Syrian children, cannot be shamed by pictures of its victims. We’ve tried that before,” she said. Horrifying footage made its way around the world this week showing Syrian children being treated, some on the verge of death, after being attacked with chemical gas weapons. President Trump said Sunday that there would be a “big price to pay” for the poison gas attack that killed dozens of Syrian civilians, and he issued a rare public rebuke to Russian President Vladimir Putin for backing Assad in the country’s civil war. Trump’s condemnation of the apparent chemical assault on the rebel-held Syrian town of Douma raised the prospect of U.S. military retaliation almost a year after he ordered a cruise missile strike on a Syrian air base after a similar poison gas attack.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

Many dead, including women and children, in mindless CHEMICAL attack in Syria. Area of atrocity is in lockdown and encircled by Syrian Army, making it completely inaccessible to outside world. President Putin, Russia and Iran are responsible for backing Animal Assad. Big price...

Eyewitness Accounts of Red Dawn Military Camps That Will Invade the US

Four years ago, I was contacted by an active DEA agent who had extensive experience with the forces that will be involved in the planned invasion of the United States that we call Red Dawn. This DEA special agent who is still on active status with the agency. His stated reason for coming forward is that he will not be a participant in the planned demise of the United States in which the DEA, as well as other federal agencies, will be complicit by their covert and overt participation. Here are some excerpts from our published communications. My DEA source was involved in drug interdiction in Peru, which is the leading cocaine producer in the world with a 325 metric tons of operation. One of his main jobs consisted of developing confidential sources (CS) into actionable intelligence information which could be used toward retarding of the blossoming drug trafficking business in Peru. The Peruvian police and military only intercept 3-5% of the gross drug traffic and that is by design. It gives the appearance that something is being done, while a drug trafficking empire is being established in this country to a degree never imagined in the past. Senior DEA officials are running interference for a massive drug organization known as the SANCHEZ-Paredes drug cartel and it is based out of Peru. However, not many Americans will have heard of this cartel. Yet, they have been around since 1976 and are more massive that any of the Mexican drug cartels in terms of the size and impact of its operations. DEA senior officials are fully complicit in these drug and gun running operations. Let’s examine the leadership of Patrick Stenkamp who formerly served as the Regional Director (aka Special-Agent-In-Charge) in Peru. Peru now serves as the regional headquarters for the DEA in the region since Bolivia kicked the DEA out. Also, Peru has taken over the title of “King on Cocaine” from Columbia. As Regional Director, Stenkamp decided what cases to pursue and which to conveniently ignore. According to my source, Stenkamp fired the last three special agents who dared to investigate the SANCHEZ-Paredes cartel. This group operates with impunity under the watchful eye of DEA leadership and if DEA special agents want to prolong and advance their careers, they better play along or they will end up like the three agents who tried to investigate the SANCHEZ-Paredes cartel, out of a job…. My previous investigation in looked into the role that Sinaloa’s played with regard to the present immigration crisis and it revealed three significant details: 1. As reported…, the Sinaloa’s have been connected to terrorist organizations since 2007 as reported in the MSM. 2. The Sinaloa’s, along with MS-13 have received paramilitary training at camps outside of San Salvador along with military grade hardware (e.g. RPG missile launchers, AK-47’s and anti-tank weapons. This is all supplied by the terror organization of Hamas and Hezbollah. 3. The Sinaloa’s and Los Zetas drug cartels are using MS-13 gang members as assassins in removing political and law enforcement obstacles in Mexico. The Border Patrol has repeatedly said that MS-13 members are being processed into the United States by the thousands by the Border Patrol who are being told to look the other way, by DHS directives, when it comes to processing MS-13 gangsters into the United States. Thee operations became the Red Dawn base camps. My previous investigations looked into the role that the Sinaloa drug cartel along with various terrorist groups, along with the importation of MS-13 to the US, played with regard to the immigration crisis of 2014 and it revealed three significant details: 1. As previously reported, the Sinaloa’s have been connected to terrorist organizations since 2007 as reported in the MSM. 2. The Sinaloa’s, along with MS-13 have received paramilitary training at camps outside of San Salvador along with military grade hardware (e.g. RPG missile launchers, AK-47’s and anti-tank weapons. This is all supplied by the terror organization of Hamas and Hezbollah and the Muslim Brotherhood. This is why Jeff Sessions was visiting El Salvador. Jeff Sessions is Deep State and he is behind the FBI raid on Trump’s Attorney (this will be released in the next 24 hours) 3. The Sinaloa’s and Los Zetas drug cartels are using MS-13 gang members as assassins in removing political and law enforcement obstacles in Mexico. The Border Patrol has repeatedly said that MS-13 members are being processed into the United States by the thousands by the Border Patrol who are being told to look the other way, by DHS directives, when it comes to processing MS-13 gangsters into the United States. This is why President Trump is so concerned. Thanks to my DEA source I was able to see how the drug running has turned into Red Dawn paramilitary camps which will be used to invade the United States in the heels of war breaking out with Russia and China. A Former ARSOF Source I have used a former ARSOF source since before the days of Benghazi. He is now confirming these terrorist base camps in El Salvador and Honduras. This source says there is a two-phase planinfiltrate the US with as many WMD-carrying sources as possible. Create a total hell-storm of terrorism with MS-13 and ISIS as the mainstay antagonists. Infiltrate the United States with as many WMD-bearing terrorists as possible. There will be a TET offensive of terrorism. They wan to get the UN to invoke the Kigali Principles and put UN troops on the ground in the US. The Kigali Principles will bring Chinese, Russian and other foreign troops to America. They will overthorw Trump, if need be. When war breaks out in the Middle East, a Latin American army, which has been training at these camps will come north and attack the US Red Dawn style. Tey will combine with UN forces andn end the United States once and for all. In the remainder portions of the article, I will highlight the following: The composition of the Red Dawn force An eyewitness account of these Red Dawn military camps and what their plans are. (FEMA camps and genocide). The Substance of the Red Dawn Strike Force In late 2014, I published an article which clearly demonstrated that most of Central and South America had been lured away from America and were clearly in the camp of the Russians and the Chinese. These forces have enetred into several strong and significant military alliances against the United States. The idea of a Red Dawn invasion force emanating from Central American is not just a theory, it is reality and it has already been organized and lies in wait. Further, these same groups are responsible for the border incursions of MS-13, ISIS and other paramilitary types that are awaiting a sign to unleash holy hell upon this country with malls, schools and public events and public transportation centers are primary domestic targets. An Eye Witness to the Red Dawn Training Camps Comes Forward For several years, I have known that Kathy Rubio has first-hand, eyewitness accounts of these terrorist/military base camps throughout El Salvador and Honduras. For years, she has been keenly aware of the coordinated role that the Sanchez Peredes drug cartel plays in coordinating the marriage between the Russians, the Chinese, the various drug cartels and Middle Eastern terror groups, Further, Kathy and members of her family have been to these camps and she has spoken to the participants. She is also aware of the Deep State elements from the United States, including the US State Department that are actively working in concert with these would-be-invasion forces. President Trump knows and this is why we troops at the border. We just do not have National Guard at the border, we have troops and special operations forces operating throughout Central America monitoring and planning interdiction strategies for this combination of Red Dawn invasion force/terrorist 5th column training base camps. It is not safe for either of us to have this information, without spreading this story far and wide. Within 24 hours of the airing of this show, I have been contacted by ARSOF and other assorted groups who also have fragments of the extensive nature of this story. For example, I have authenticated the identify of a man who said that under Obama, we used American based military contractors (eg Blackwater now called Academia) to install an underground missile battery in the jungles of Nicaragua as part of this system. When Trump began dealing with the Caravan to Madness Central American refugee march, Kathy told me to watch the northern border. And was she ever right. We are getting incursions from both Russian and Chinese from Vancouver and they are presumably pre-positioning assets. I have confirmation that I alluded to in related articles in the past week from two military personnel. In short, we are being prepared to be carved up like the proverbial Thanksgiving turkey. Kathy’s story confirms most of what I have been able to find out on my own. However, she is a direct eyewitness and this is what makes her testimony so compelling. And because we both fear that if war breaks out with China/Russia, the distraction will be used to launch the 1st phase, massive domestic terrorism, followed by a direct military invasion from out Southern underbelly. Many, who have heard this live interview with Kathy, have told me that they thought this was my most important interview in the history of my show. It certainly ranks up there. Here is the interview I recently conducted with Kathy Rubio as to these verifiable dangers. First-Hand Eyewitness Account to the Red Dawn Invasion Camps In Central America Please also see the footnote of the latest, ongoing events in Mexico following this interview.

Is a massive tremor on the way? Ring of Fire activity returns as a series of earthquakes shake California and Alaska

Near the end of January, a slew of Ring of Fire activity took place in many places

Alaska experienced an earthquake and a volcano erupted in the Philippines

At the time, the UN tweeted that the Pacific Ring of Fire was 'active'

Now, eight earthquakes have shaken the US with several close to the Ring of Fire

Three earthquakes struck in California with others in Alaska, Nebraska, Texas

By Phoebe Weston For Mailonline Published: 09:14 EDT, 10 April 2018 | Updated: 11:11 EDT, 10 April 2018

A series of earthquakes shook the US yesterday with several hitting worryingly close to the Ring of Fire, sparking fears a massive tremor could be on the way. The most powerful of this latest cluster - which also shook Alaska and California - came in Perry, Oklahoma, where a 4.3 magnitude tremor struck. This follows on from a flurry of earthquakes in California at the weekend, with experts warning residents to 'get those earthquake preparedness kits ready'. Both California and Alaska are on the much-feared Ring of Fire - the most active fault-line in the world. The latest earthquake struck in Perry on 9 April at 5:20am CST (12:20pm GMT) with tremors felt as far as 17 miles (27km) southwest. In the last 24 hours three earthquakes struck in California with others felt in Alaska, Nebraska and Texas, writes the Express. Since 6 April there have been at least 16 noticeable earthquakes in Oklahoma, according to the Geologic Survey. There were 13 quakes over the weekend but no reports of injury or serious damage. A 5.3 magnitude earthquake struck near the Channel Islands on Thursday and was the strongest in Southern California for several years. Although it did not cause any major damage, the quake did cause minor landslides and earth movement on Santa Cruz Island. 'A 5.3 could be damaging if it was right under our feet,' John Vidale, director of the Southern California Earthquake Center told the LA Times. 'It's right on the edge of being an earthquake that could be dangerous. It's a reminder that we need to be ready in the future.' The tremor occurred just before 12:30 PST (19:30 GMT) near Santa Cruz Island, 90 miles (145km) west of downtown Los Angeles. Dr Vidale predicted there was a 1-in-20 chance the quake could lead to a larger one in the coming weeks. The Los Angeles Police Department tweeted; '#Earthquake follow-up: There have been no reports of earthquake-related damage or injuries within the City of Los Angeles. 'Our region hasn't shook like that since 2014. This should serve as a steadfast reminder to act now, get those earthquake preparedness kits ready.' WHAT IS EARTH'S 'RING OF FIRE'? Earth's so-called 'Ring of Fire' is a horseshoe-shaped geological disaster zone that is a hot bed for tectonic and volcanic activity. Roughly 90 per cent of the world's earthquakes occur in the belt, which is also home to more than 450 volcanoes. The seismic region stretches along the Pacific Ocean coastlines, where the Pacific Plate grinds against other plates that form the Earth's crust. It loops from New Zealand to Chile, passing through the coasts of Asia and the Americas on the way. In total, the loop makes up a 25,000-mile (40,000-kilometre) -long zone prone to frequent earthquakes and eruptions. The region is susceptible to disasters because it is home to a vast number of 'subduction zones', areas where tectonic plates overlap. Earthquakes are triggered when these plates scrape or slide underneath one another, and when that happens at sea it can spawn tsunamis. In February another flurry of earthquakes hit the Earth's Pacific plate, renewing fears a massive tremor is on the way after four disasters jolted the region in January. Quakes have hit near Japan, Guam and Taiwan around the planet's so-called 'Ring of Fire', a horseshoe-shaped zone that is a hotbed for tectonic and volcanic activity. At the time, some suggested the frequency and proximity of the tremors are signs of a bigger earthquake to come. However, experts claimed events around the Ring of Fire are rarely linked and that in most cases adjacent disasters are a coincidence. After a series of quakes hit the Ring of Fire in January, a 6.4 quake struck Taiwan's east coast on February 6, killing 17 people and injuring at least 180. A series of tremors reaching magnitude 5.7, 5.6, 5.4 and 4.9 shook the US island territory of Guam in February. And since February 11, three earthquakes have struck Japan: A 4.8 magnitude quake 103 kilometres from Hachijo, a 4.5 magnitude quake 55 kilometres from Nemuro, and a 4.5 magnitude earthquake 103 kilometres from Tokunoshima. But scientists say such activity is normal for the Ring of Fire, adding that there is no chance of a 'domino effect' triggering a larger quake. 'The Pacific Rim is in a period of activity,' Toshiyasu Nagao, head of Tokyo-based Tokai University's Earthquake Prediction Research Centre, told Japan Times at the time. 'In terms of volcanic history, however, the current activity is still regarded as normal.' Dr Janine Krippner, a volcanologist at Concord University in Athens, West Virginia, tweeted: 'It's not referred to as the 'ring of fire' because it sits there doing nothing ... it is normal to have so much activity.' At least four natural disasters jolted the Pacific Rim in January, including a 7.9 magnitude earthquake in Kodiak, Alaska, which sparked a tsunami warning. A 6.4 quake hit Indonesia the same week, and Mount Kusatsu-Shirane in Japan erupted, killing one and injuring 15. Also in January, Mount Mayon in the Philippines sent lava 600 metres (1,970 ft) into the air, forcing 61,000 people to evacuate from nearby villages as thick smoke descended from the mountain. Some researchers, however, said that this string of events in January were not connected. 'There's not really likely to be any connection,' Professor Chris Elders, a geologist at Curtin University in Perth, Australia, told The New Daily. 'While they do indeed have the same origin - the Ring of Fire - these recent events are a coincidence. 'The region itself is a breeding ground for seismic activity.' Roughly 90 per cent of the world's earthquakes occur in the Ring of Fire - a Pacific region home to three in four of the world's active volcanoes. The ring loops from New Zealand to Chile, passing through the coasts of Asia and the Americas on the way. The region is susceptible to disasters because it is home to a vast number of 'subduction zones', areas where tectonic plates overlap. Following from January's events, a 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck Taiwan's east coast on February 6, causing a hotel to collapse and injuring at least 180 people and killing 17.

‘Catastrophic for the Catholic Church’: World media reacts to Pope Francis’ denial of hell

‘Catastrophic for the Catholic Church’: World media reacts to Pope Francis’ denial of hell

ROME, April 4, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – Mainstream media was in a furor last week over the news of Pope Francis purportedly saying that “hell does not exist” and that unrepentant souls in mortal sin simply “disappear.” On the eve of the Holy Thursday, an Italian journalist published an article claiming that the pope had told him that hell does not exist. Eugenio Scalfari, 93, atheist journalist and founder of the left-wing newspaper La Repubblica, claimed on March 28 that Pope Francis had told him two days before that the souls of those who do not go to heaven are annihilated. “Souls are not punished,” Francis allegedly said. “Those who repent obtain God's forgiveness and go among the ranks of those who contemplate him, but those who do not repent and cannot be forgiven disappear. There is no hell — there is the disappearance of sinful souls." Scalfari’s article — and then the Vatican’s vague warnings not to trust it — was picked up by mainstream media worldwide. The story was highlighted in the United States by the Drudge Report, whose online headline shrieked “Pope Declares No Hell?” It linked to a March 29 article by Michael W. Chapman of CNS News, who called Francis’s alleged remarks “a denial of the 2,000-year-old teaching of the Catholic Church about the reality of Hell and the eternal existence of the soul.” Chapman cited the translation of the popular Catholic news blog “Rorate Caeli.” The New York Times led with the news that the Vatican had responded to the Repubblica piece with an assertion that Pope Francis does indeed believe in hell and that “no quotation of the article should be considered as a faithful transcription of the words of the Holy Father.” The Times observed that Scalfari does not make notes or use a tape recorder during interviews. Despite this fact, the report also observed that this interview had been Scalfari’s fifth meeting with the Argentinian pontiff. The “Daily Intelligencer” of New York Magazine said that it was “beyond ironic” that Good Friday was “marked by a murky debate over a claim that Pope Francis recently denied the existence of Hell in a discussion with an atheist friend.” “It’s hard to imagine your average Pope having any atheists friends with whom he holds genial conversations. But Francis isn’t your average Pope, and so the controversy continues to rage despite the Vatican’s efforts to pour cold water on its hellish fires.” 'Left is even corrupting the Catholic Church'​ Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh said that “it was easy to see, with this pope, that the left is even corrupting the Catholic Church”, something he had not thought possible after meeting the late Cardinal O’Connor of New York. “This pope comes along, and I tell you, not just this,” Limbaugh said. “This pope is left-wing politically active on things like climate change. The whole left-wing agenda, the whole liberal agenda, this pope articulates it, and this pope is doing what he can to intermingle his own personal political beliefs with church doctrine. I never thought I would see that. I mean, I know there are leftists and liberals all over every organization, I’m not being naive, but the church is the church. What it believes is what it believes. It doesn’t change because public opinion changes, and yet it is, at least this pope seems to be doing just that.” The Wall Street Journal intimated that with his remarks, which the Vatican did not deny, Pope Francis had yet again astonished. “It was an extreme yet telling example of how Pope Francis has shaken up perceptions of Catholic doctrine,” wrote Francis X. Rocca, “drawing widespread attention from the non-Catholic world and causing turmoil within the church.” Rocca detailed Francis’s emphasis on social and economic issues, and his downplaying of sexual and medical ethics. “Part of Pope Francis’ strategy has been generally to play down the importance of formal teaching,” he wrote. The Boston Globe interviewed Catholic philosopher Peter Kreeft, who disbelieved Scalfari’s report that Francis had told him hell doesn’t exist. “I doubt he said that because it’s heresy outright,” Kreeft said and explained the significance of the doctrine of hell. “If there’s no hell, then heaven is no big deal,” he told the Globe. “If there’s no valley, the mountain isn’t very high. If it doesn’t exist, then ultimately we don’t have free will. … Scratch the doctrine of hell, and you find the possibility of free will underneath it.” 'Catastrophic for the Catholic Church​' Online newsmagazine Vox.com observed that the Vatican communications department was once again scrambling after a scandal regarding a doctored photo led its chief, Dario Vignanò, to resign. Journalist Tara Isabella Burton wrote, “If the Pope indeed said those words [attributed to him by Scalfari], the consequences would be catastrophic for the Catholic Church, which — according to its own catechism — ‘affirms the teaching of hell and its eternity,’ including eternal fire,’ although it stresses that ‘The chief punishment of hell is eternal separation from God’.” Remarking on Francis’ relationship with Scalfari, Burton said that the question of whether or not Francis denied the existence of hell was “subordinate to another question”: “Why does Francis repeatedly engage in interviews with Scalfari, only to later say Scalfari misquotes his words?” If the answer is that he’s trying to change doctrine by stealth, then Pope Francis risks appearing insincere. “By participating in a kind of bait and switch — putting forth potentially heretical ideas, then formally denying them — Francis leaves himself open to the charge of disingenuousness,” Barton wrote. Gwynne Dyer of Canada’s Hamilton Spectator asserted that “of course” Pope Francis had denied the existence of hell, and that “the reason why is obvious.” “It is very hard for a well-educated person of modern sensibilities to believe that a loving god would condemn any of the human beings he created to an eternity of physical torture and mental anguish,” Dyer wrote “That is not what loving human fathers do, even to children who disobey them, so the traditional notion of Hell is a permanent problem for many Catholic theologians.” But acknowledging that that Annihilationism is a heresy in the Catholic Church, Dyer believes that Pope Francis has found a “practical” way of communicating his true beliefs without wasting the time he wants to direct to “other, more urgent changes”: “Pope Francis is a practical man, and he chooses his battles carefully,” Dyer wrote. “Changing Catholic doctrine on Hell would be a long battle that consumed most of the energy within the Church that he would like to devote to other, more urgent changes. Yet he still cannot resist making his true views known (in a deniable way) by having these occasional conversations with Eugenio Scalfari. In the United Kingdom, the Catholic Herald demanded, “Why on earth does Pope Francis still trust Eugenio Scalfari?” Journalist Christopher Altieri called upon Francis to “disown not only the precise verbiage Scalfari reported in his piece, but the ideas foisted upon him therein—at least the ones that are manifestly heretical.” “The longer he does not,” Altieri continued, “the stronger the case becomes for believing he cannot.” Deploring all previous episodes of “Scalfarism”, Altieri acknowledged that Francis’s continued conversation with the elderly journalist may stem from the pontiff’s wish to save the atheist’s soul. But even this charitable motive suggests that the Pope’s judgement is “appalling”. “If the Pope’s solicitude for Scalfari’s soul is indeed so great, and Scalfari’s protestation of friendship sincere, then let Francis resign the office and go talk with his friend all day over vino burino and biscola,” Altieri concluded. 'Game being played​' In Italy, a Vatican insider named Antonio Socci claimed on his blog Il Straniero (“The Stranger”) that the Vatican’s half-hearted distancing of Francis from Scalfari’s article had been precipitated by a threat from a “non-Italian” Cardinal. According to Socci, this unnamed Cardinal told Francis directly that the heretical statements attributed to him were grounds for the pontiff’s dismissal. The OnePeterFive blog has a translation of this as yet unsubstantiated story. Socci speculated that Pope Francis and Scalfari are at some “game” in these interviews. There is thus a game being played by Scalfari and Bergoglio for over five years now, in which the Argentine pope consents to a sort of double Magisterial track. When he speaks to Catholics he expresses himself in a certain vague and theologically ambiguous way. He avoids explicit statements and thus little by little demolishes doctrine (the tactic of boiling frogs slowly). Meanwhile, he speaks through Scalfari to the secular world, making known his true ideas, which are so totally modern, in order to build up his “revolution” and to have popularity among non-Catholics and the media. [emphasis in original] Some journalists acknowledged that on other occasions Pope Francis has certainly warned of the danger of souls going to hell. Meanwhile, the Catechism of the Catholic Church unequivocally affirms the existence of hell and the immortality of the human soul. It states, "The teaching of the Church affirms the existence of hell and its eternity. Immediately after death the souls of those who die in a state of mortal sin descend into hell, where they suffer the punishments of hell, 'eternal fire.' The chief punishment of hell is eternal separation from God, in whom alone man can possess the life and happiness for which he was created and for which he longs (1035).” It continues, "The affirmations of Sacred Scripture and the teachings of the Church on the subject of hell are a call to the responsibility incumbent upon man to make use of his freedom in view of his eternal destiny. They are at the same time an urgent call to conversion: 'Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy, that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few.”' "Since we know neither the day nor the hour, we should follow the advice of the Lord and watch constantly so that, when the single course of our earthly life is completed, we may merit to enter with him into the marriage feast and be numbered among the blessed, and not, like the wicked and slothful servants, be ordered to depart into the eternal fire, into the outer darkness where 'men will weep and gnash their teeth’(1036)."

Top 7 Areas of emerging transformational Technologies That Will Be Used To Enhance Humans

BY Rohit Talwar · 03/01/2018

Common sense suggests we are entering, or possibly sleepwalking into at our peril, the age of artificial intelligence (AI). At the same time, we may be on the precipice of radical growth in human productivity enabled by bio-technological enhancements. Although AI technology has advanced to the point where work and jobs are potentially being threatened, the field of human augmentation could quite suddenly raise the bar for our so-called robot rivals. Whilst augmentation may be seen as extremely controversial on social, moral, ethical, and religious grounds, it opens up possibilities which society must be aware of and make careful choices about. Most of the emerging transformational technologies aimed at human enhancement fall under a few general categories, despite a good deal of crossover. 1. Chemical Enhancement Chemical enhancements would include pharmaceuticals which alter the brain, encompassing nootropics for focus and memory) or psychedelics for vision quests. Any transformation resulting from ingesting a food or drug would fall into this 2. Genetic Enhancement Targeting our DNA and genetics, this category of augmentations involves editing or altering the actual chromosomes and genomes before or after conception. The most commonly discussed technology for genetic enhancement today is CRISPR, a “cheap and easy” means of editing DNA in existing life forms, but genetic transformations touch also on cloning, designer babies, chimeras and ageing/disease prevention. 3. Neurological Enhancement Enhancing the brain takes several forms ranging from hardware to software. Neural implants, electronic stimulation, and brain hacking would fall under this category – implants being actual foreign objects embedded in some way to affect the nervous system. Hacking could involve tapping into the brain via “mind over matter” or altered consciousness state to awaken previously dormant mental, physical, or even metaphysical abilities. 4. Physical Enhancement Physical transformations would usually appear as hardware add-ons like exoskeletons (i.e., an “Iron Man” suit), endoskeletons with reinforced bones, chip implantations, bionic eyes, or other prosthetics. These could be bionic, cyborg, 3D/4D printed, or otherwise innovative adaptations which can either be removed (like prosthetics, clothing, or armour) or permanent (surgically attached or implanted). Genetic manipulation to achieve extreme physical beauty or strength would be included in this category. 5. Electronic Enhancement The use of electronics involves the transformation of intelligence, consciousness, or humanity into digital form. Any type of uploading or downloading of human “content” in digital data form (hard drives or to the cloud) could be considered an electronic enhancement. There may also be types of implants or tattoos that read vital signs to communicate to the Internet of things, blockchains, or digital public health data sets. Health applications of nanotechnology could fall under this category along with wearable technology, and human transformations that deal with virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR). 6. Radical Life Extension Extending life often refers to “curing death” as its raison d’être. Ageing is viewed as an unnecessary evil, a mere medical problem waiting to be solved. Being able to live 125 years or more with comfort and good health seems to be the current vision for life extension proponents, who advocate for pharmaceutical, dietary, and lifestyle adaptations to achieve longer than natural life spans. 7. Cryogenic Freezing/Cryopreservation Rather than extend life, this transformative breakthrough puts life on pause, to restart later in time, decades or centuries from now. The idea behind cryogenic freezing is that in the future, medical technology will be able to reanimate a body which has been preserved in liquid nitrogen at very low temperatures. The elderly and the terminally ill are the most likely candidates for cryo, although there could be elective preservation conducted for personal reasons in the future. Of course, we have no idea whether we’ll ever have the technology to re-awaken the physical body and restore memory and consciousness. Conclusion By 2030 our shopping lists may contain several of these future transformations wrapped up in a neat package of human enhancements, from instant content upgrades to our brains, smart contact lenses and enhanced endoskeletons to implanted immunity, cosmetic gene editing, radically enhanced memory and organ regeneration. These may seem like something out of the pages of a Peter Hamilton space opera novel, but by 2030 they could be, not just reality, but commonplace.

Use Technology as a Lever Not a Crutch

April 5, 2018

Technology has allowed modern man to make life faster, easier and more productive. Technology has many benefits for man but all too often man abuses the tools he has developed and he becomes a slave to them. Take the kitchen for example. Many people do not know how to cook from scratch anymore because they rely on prepackaged frozen foods that can be ready in a matter of minutes without a lot of preparation. Some people would be lost if their coffee was not made automatically and awaited their sleepy bodies in the morning. Some people use a microwave oven exclusively to prepare meals on a daily basis. Even worse, some people rely almost exclusively on fast food for their meals and keep nothing at home to feed their families. Many young people do not know a time when they could not email, surf the web, text or call someone from anywhere at any time of day. It has become evident that many people, young and old alike would suffer from a type of withdrawal effect if their electronics were lost for even a day. Many people have replaced human contact with electronic correspondence which reduces their human relations skills and many children spend most of their free hours on the computer instead of playing outside with friends as past generations have done, Growing children have a lot of pent up energy and when they don’t release that energy through physical activity it can cause them to be hyperactive in places such as school where they are diagnosed with all kinds of “disorders” that never existed before. This has caused the present generation to be the most highly medicated people in our history. Lack of regular contact with others can deprive us of skills to deal with everyday life and work through difficult situations. Our dependence on machines and electronics have left many in want of basic necessities when disasters or power outages occur. How many times have you seen people leave home and go to a motel when the power goes out? A snow storm hits and people cannot heat their homes, watch TV or cook food. A thunderstorm knocks out power and people are desperate to find air conditioning and water. I find it incredible that most people feel so important now that they have the need to be on the phone constantly, especially while driving. I can’t help but wonder how we ever made it out of the 1950’s without cell phones. People have become slaves to the machines they made to make life easier and now cannot live without. People rely on GPS now instead of reading maps and because of that they can be a block away from their destination and not know it if their GPS goes out. The art of writhing letters has been replaced with text messages and symbols. When you realize you are one of these people what could you do to limit the effects of the loss of this technology on occasion? Spend one afternoon a week and take a walk through the neighborhood, assuming the area is safe, to get to know the neighbors. At least once a week, cook a meal from scratch and use a cooking source that won’t go out with the power. Meet a friend occasionally for a cup of coffee and chat instead of using the computer or phone. Make your kids go outside and play, without the electronic gadgets, or better yet, go outside and play with them. Have an old fashioned family picnic or a cookout at a local park. Play board games at home occasionally. Avoid using your cell phone one day a week or cut out talking while driving all together. Get a backup heat source such as wood or propane and store some water for a backup supply. Send a card or write a letter instead of sending an email. Plant a garden and can some of your own food during the summer. If you are so dependent on technology that the temporary loss of it causes problems, you are too dependent on it. Using technology to leverage your time and energy is a good thing but it should not replace the human actions we have used for centuries. In the end, the old ways still work and they can help you slow down and enjoy life more rather than speeding through it.

Fear of 'disastrous situation' in farm economy as China targets huge US soybean business America's $14 billion soybean trade with China is at risk after Beijing targets the commodity for a 25 percent tariff. Beef, cotton, corn and wheat are also among the U.S. products targeted for possible retaliatory duties. China buys roughly half of the U.S. soybean exports and is the second-largest buyer of American cotton. The latest trade spat with China follows President Trump's call for tariffs on more than 1,300 Chinese products.

Jeff Daniels | @jeffdanielsca Published 11:46 PM ET Wed, 4 April 2018 Updated 8:34 AM ET Thu, 5 April 2018 CNBC.com

Fears of an expanded trade war with China are spreading across the farm economy after Beijing announced it might slap a 25 percent tariff on American soybeans and other farm products. Affected agricultural products also include U.S. corn, beef, cotton, tobacco, sorghum and orange juice. However, China's Ministry of Commerce is targeting not only U.S. agriculture but other items such as automobiles on its wide-ranging list of more than 100 American products. The move by Beijing on Wednesday came a day after the Trump administration proposed duties on more than 1,300 imported products in China's machinery, electronics, aerospace and robotics sectors. "It's frustrating because agriculture has long been just a pawn in these trade wars," said Mark Kenney, who grows soybeans in central Iowa. "I'm concerned about it because China is a huge market for us." The U.S. exports about $14 billion worth of soybeans to China, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. China buys roughly half of the U.S. soybean exports, and roughly one in three rows of soybeans grown on the nation's farms goes to the world's second-largest economy, according to the American Soybean Association. Overall, U.S. agricultural exports to China represent almost $20 billion annually for American farmers. Potentially 'disastrous situation' "They are hitting soybeans, wheat, corn and cotton — so all the agricultural products — and this is in addition to what they announced already on pork and sorghum," said Wendong Zhang, assistant professor of economics at Iowa State University. "So essentially if this becomes a reality two months later, this will be a disastrous situation for U.S. agriculture." China's planned tariffs on U.S. agriculture come as the nation's heartland already is struggling after years of low crop prices. Some farmers are considering exiting the business. In February, the USDA predicted net farm income in 2018 would fall to lowest level in nominal terms since 2006. The lion's share of the U.S. agribusiness trade to China involves soybeans, which are grown in many Midwestern farm states where President Donald Trump received strong support during the 2016 presidential election. "The Chinese are very clever here," Keith Bliss, a trader for the brokerage firm Cuttone & Co., said on CNBC's "Closing Bell." "They knew that they were going to hit right to the heart of Trump's base of support in the Midwest." "I'm sure the White House got dozens of calls from soybean farmers this morning when they saw that news cross the tape," he added. "And it's going to get both parties to the table. And that's precisely what the Chinese wanted to accomplish that."  Lucrative market To be clear, some farmers support Trump's strategy to hold China accountable on trade issues due to national security concerns but also worry about unintended consequences and the long-term impact it might have on access to China, a lucrative market with a growing middle class that is demanding more food. At the same time, it creates a situation where global agriculture sellers such as the European Union and South America could take share away from the United States in key agricultural commodities sold to China. "Our corn farmers have worked for decades to support fair and open trade practices because we understand that trade is a two-way street," said Texas farmer Wesley Spurlock, chairman of the National Corn Growers Association. Experts point out that the White House has time to decide before the new round of tariffs on some 1,300 Chinese goods — or about $50 billion worth of products — goes into effect since there will be a 30-day comment period for business interests and other parties. Also, that will be followed by up to 180 days for the president to decide before taking the next step to formalize the duties against the Chinese. In early March, Trump unveiled a 25 percent duty on steel imports and 10 percent charge on aluminum imports, essentially targeting suppliers such as China. That ultimately led to China's Finance Ministry on Sunday to unveil retaliatory tariffs on up to 128 kinds of U.S. goods, including pork and fruit. One in 4 hogs in the U.S. is sold overseas, and the Chinese are the world's top consumers of pork. At about $1.1 billion, mainland China and Hong Kong together are the third-largest market for U.S. pork based on value. Last year, China was the second-largest volume market for the American pork industry after Mexico. "There is scope for negotiation going forward," said Dan Ikenson, director of trade policy studies at the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank. "Maybe it's easier to negotiate if you have on the table your big guns as well. This will certainly encourage the auto industry and soy farmers and Boeing to hang out in Washington and speak to policymakers until this is resolved." Soybean futures dip Reaction to the China trade threat was swift in the futures markets with Chicago soybeans for May delivery falling as much as 5 percent during Wednesday's session to a two-month low before settling down just over 2 percent to $10.167 per bushel. Top soybean growing states include Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio and the Dakotas. Other commodities targeted by China's threat Wednesday were also lower: Chicago corn for delivery in May fell more than 2 percent to $3.805 a bushel and New York cotton futures for May sank more than 3 percent to 79.55 cents per pound. "We expected a bumpy ride on the soybean side," South Dakota soybean farmer Kevin Scott told CNBC's "Power Lunch" on Wednesday. "Traders love a lot of volatility, but for farmers, it gives us a lot of heartburn." Scott said the soybean market declines earlier in the session translated into essentially a $1.7 billion decline in value for the U.S. soybean crop and for him personally a haircut potentially in the tens of thousands of dollars. Traders expect more volatility in the coming weeks — not only from soybeans but other agricultural commodities that China has targeted in the tit-for-tat trade action. They also note that China can get soybeans from Argentina and Brazil, two major growers and exporters, but still will likely need to rely on some American beans for the foreseeable future. "China can't cut out completely from their import program [for soybeans]," said Ted Seifried, chief market strategist at Zaner Group, a Chicago-based futures brokerage. "But even if they were to drop 10 percent of what we're sending to them — and favor South America as much as they can — it would still have a huge impact on our balance." Most of the soybeans shipped to China are used for soy protein to feed roughly 700 million pigs in the country or to make cooking oil. The Chinese also grow some of their own soybeans, mostly for human consumption, but that crop represents less than half the amount purchased from the U.S. The U.S. sold approximately 33 million tons of soybeans in 2017 to China, or just over one-third of the beans imported by the Asian country. By comparison, Brazil shipped more than 50 million tons of soybeans last year to China and represented nearly 55 percent of the total imports. Argentina has been struggling with a drought and is expected to have a smaller crop for export this season. China's announcement also concerns other agricultural commodities, particularly wheat, frozen beef and cotton. Other targets "It is unsettling to see American-produced beef listed as a target for retaliation," said Kent Bacus, director of international trade and market access for the National Cattlemen's Beef Association. "This is a battle between two governments, and the unfortunate casualties will be America's cattlemen and women and our consumers in China." Bacus added that the cattle association backs "trade enforcement, but endless retaliation is not a good path forward for either side." China took delivery just last year of the first shipments of American beef in 14 years. China had shut its market to American beef producers after a case of so-called mad cow disease was detected in the U.S. in late 2003. As for wheat, the industry is also worried about the impact of the escalating trade dispute. "This will definitely be a big hit to the U.S. wheat market," said Chandler Goule, CEO of the National Association of Wheat Growers. "Putting a 25 percent tariff on all U.S. wheat going into China is going to significantly reduce our availability to that market."  Cotton growers, too, expressed concern about China's threat tThe U.S. wheat industry last year sold 61 million bushels of the commodity to China, or about $450 million worth of the product. China ranks as the fourth-largest buyer of American wheat and about 7 percent of total U.S. exports of the grain.  o impose a 25 percent tariff. China is the second-largest export market for U.S. cotton. "I cannot overstate the importance of China's market to U.S. cotton farmers and the importance of U.S. cotton in meeting the needs of China's textile industry," said Ron Craft, chairman of the National Cotton Council.

The Bible Genesis & Geology

The History of the Genesis Gap Interpretation and its Basis in Bible Doctrine

"For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men." (2 Pet 3:5-7 KJV) "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." (Genesis 1:2 KJV) On this site's index page we stated that 2 Peter 3:5-7 is NOT a reference to Noah's flood. There are only two (2) places in the entire Bible where the Earth is flooded by water. One is at the time of Noah's flood (Genesis 7). The other is at Genesis 1:2 where it speaks about the condition of the Earth at the time just before God said, "Let there be light." Now, if 2 Peter 3:5-7 is not a cross-reference to Noah's flood, then it MUST be a cross-reference to Genesis 1:2 because there is no other Biblical alternative. And if 2 Peter 3:5-7 is a cross-reference to Genesis 1:2, then the Holy Spirit is calling your attention to something very significant that millions of Christian-Creationists are blindly overlooking. Specifically, that a glorious ancient world that God created in the distant past (Genesis 1:1), had long since been utterly destroyed; plunged into deep darkness and overflowed by a raging flood of great waters on a universal scale at the time of Genesis 1:2. The seven-days of Genesis that follow chronicle God's methodology of restoring the heavens and Earth and repopulating the world with living creatures, including modern man who is made in His image. The seven-days of Genesis was a regeneration, not the original creation. There is a time-gap between the first two verses of the Old Testament. And this is not the only time-gap in the Old Testament; there are two (2) others. There is the "gap" between the first coming of the Lord Jesus Christ and His second coming. It is commonly called the "Church Age" or the "Age of Grace." The other is the 1,000 year Millennial reign of the King of Kings, the Lord Jesus Christ, here on the Earth between His second coming and the final great Judgment Day, followed by the creation of the New Heaven and Earth in eternity. The late Clarence Larkin referred to these Old Testament gaps as "Valleys" between the peaks of prophecy. His illustration below is a schematic of his line of reasoning: All three of these Scriptural Old Testament "gaps" or "valleys" have one thing in common: They are impossible to discern without the witness of the New Testament. These are things that are spiritually discerned through the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ and all the prophesies concerning Him - the source of all true wisdom. (See Revelation 19:10 & Colossians 2:2-3). The Spirit of Prophecy certainly looks forward into the future, but it also can look backward into the past and you will be able to see this in the KJV Holy Bible. Keep in mind that what transpired in the past directly sets the course for what will happen in the future. This is why it is essential to understand why there is a gap between the first two verses of the Bible and what happened during that time. The time-gap in Genesis is obscurely declared but not detailed in the book of Genesis. It is the very first "mystery" found in the Holy Bible. Knowing that there is a time-gap between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2, and WHY there is a time-gap, will open a more perfect understanding of what the Creation narrative is actually saying. When you understand this truth, it cuts a clear path through the confusion of conflicting theories and interpretations that have occupied the ongoing Creation vs. Science debate. The essence of that debate will be discussed in a following chapter. For now, it is very important that we show you the Biblical points that tell us why 2 Peter 3:5-7 is not a reference to Noah's flood. Point #1 - Compare the phrase: "the heavens and earth, which are now" to the phrase the "heavens were of old": What does this mean? Ask yourself this question: When Noah's flood happened did it change anything in the upper heavens? That is, would a flood on the Earth's surface have any effect on the sun , moon, or stars high above? The obvious answer is NO. "And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth." (Genesis 6:13 KJV) The heavens of Noah's days were the same heavens as in Adam's day; same sun, same moon, same stars, same planet Mars. FACT: Noah's flood had no effect on the upper heavens. All of Noah's flood's effects were confined to the Earth's surface and its atmosphere. If the effects of Noah's flood were confined to the Earth's surface and atmosphere, then Noah's flood did not affect or alter anything in the upper heavens, so logic demands that this verse must be speaking about an event other than Noah's flood. And Genesis 1:2 is our only other Biblical alternative. Point #2 - Notice also in the passage that the earth is said to be "standing out" of the water and "in" the water. In our English language, these descriptive terms suggest that these particular waters were not confined to the surface of the planet. The passage describes a deluge that raged across the solar system, and beyond. Our solar system and outer space are the Second Heaven of the Bible's three heavens. Try to draw this mental picture: Think of a dark and ruined universe with water strewn throughout it like one big messy galactic spill. That is what Genesis 1:2 is speaking about. And imagine the planet Earth drifting awash in this roaring and rolling, formless mess and orbiting around a dead star. Where would such waters have come from? Well, it is an established scientific observation that aging stars create and give off lots of water. (See also: When Did the Universe Flood With Water? & Astronomers Find Largest, Most Distant Reservoir of Water) Certainly there must have been lots and lots of stars in the heavens that were "of old" and, if something had caused the entire cosmos to have gone dark and all the stars died, then there would be excessive water everywhere throughout space. If that was indeed the case, then all those extinguished stars would need to be reignited to be seen in our present heavens. Although many "Gap Theory" advocates believe that the sun, moon and stars we not affected, and were only being obscured by deep cloud cover until the fourth of the seven days, that interpretation does not hold up under closer scrutiny of the Scriptures. Let's review: "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." (Genesis 1:2 KJV)  At Genesis 1:2 the heaven and the Earth are in darkness and great waters are upon the deep. If we interpret the deep to include everything in the physical universe, which included everything below God's heavenly realm far above (see John 8:23), then the situation becomes clear. Before any reconstruction of the heavens and Earth could begin, God had to do something with all that water scattered across space. That is why the Bible says: "And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so." (Genesis 1:7 KJV) The Bible is saying that God placed a "Sea" between the footstool of His heavenly throne and the less than pure physical universe down below. Although God says, "it was good" concerning days 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 He does not say that about the work of the second day. Prior to that, God made another division at the beginning of the seven-days: "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day." (Genesis 1:2-5 KJV) This light could NOT be PHYSICAL LIGHT as in sunshine, because God did not make the sun, moon and stars of this present world until the fourth-day. You should take note that the translators of the King James Bible did something very important in this passage. They capitalized the words “Day” and “Night” in Genesis 1:5 to stress the importance of these word definitions. The correct interpretation of these terms is found in this New Testament passage: "Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness." (1 Thessalonians 5:5 KJV) The Bible itself provides the correct interpretation of the meaning. There were two types of darkness present at Genesis 1:2: Yes, there was literal darkness (an absense of light), but there was also spiritual darkness (the presence of evil from the ruins of the prior creation). The Scriptures tell us that both good and evil are present when God made Adam's world. "And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil." (Genesis 2:9 KJV) Why this was the case is discussed in greater detail elsewhere on this website. History of the "Gap Theory" Interpretation Thomas Chalmers This Ruin-Reconstruction interpretation of Genesis was the bread and butter Creation doctrine of the Protestant Fundamentalist Church in the early part of the 20th century. The interpretation has mainly been credited to the Scottish theologian, Thomas Chalmers, who began to preach it back in the early 19th century. Contrary to Young Earth Creationist allegations, Chalmers did not invent the Genesis Gap interpretation as a compromise of the Word of God to accommodate science and the theory of evolution. The "Gap" has always been in the Scriptures since the day Moses penned the book of Genesis. However, only after man's knowledge about Earth's natural history increased has the Spirit opened people's eyes to its existence. Keep in mind that from the days of the Apostles up through the Dark Ages, and until just a few centuries ago, a 6,000 year age for the heavens and Earth was accepted dogma in the institutions of both the Church and Academia. Up until then, the real age of the Earth was not a burning issue. However, after the Bible was published for the masses, and as the scientific evidence for an old Earth grew, so did the breech between the establishment Church and establishment science. What we have in the case of Thomas Chalmers and the post Reformation times is an example of Progressive Revelation from the Holy Scriptures. That is, when the proper time came, the Word of God once again proved itself timely and relevant to the level of scientific and Spiritual understanding of the day. That Bible is still just as timely and relevant today, and can still provide true and faithful answers to scientific discoveries that appear to challenge the fundamentals of the Christian Faith. The problem today is that people have, for the most part, abandoned faith in the infallibility of the Holy Scriptures. Objectively looking at the Fundamental Church in historical retrospect, it is observed that as the juggernaut of Evolutionary Theory became a growing mainstay in academia across the latter half of the 20th Century, the Fundamental Church increasingly retreated into a shell of denial and self-preservation. Having thrown aside their best source of Scriptural Authority and defense (the King James Bible), and with declining numbers who were scientifically literate and intellectually honest enough to deal with the geological arguments, the Fundamental Church has consequently lost the ability to effectively address the overwhelming body of evidence for an Old Earth from a true Biblical perspective. And, as a consequence, has also lost the ability to effectively minister the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to the educated masses of today when it comes to the accuracy of the book of Genesis. Rightly-Dividing the Word of God God is the Divine Author of both the Scriptures and the Earth's Geologic record. Both are from His hand. Both witness to historical and spiritual Truth. He established the principles of science (knowledge) by which we can search out the answers to things preserved within the Earth's geology. His Scriptures provide us with a definitive and infallible source of Authority and a faithful guide to verify the validity of those answers. Therefore, it is our firm belief that there cannot possibly be any real contradiction in facts between Geology and Genesis. Any such contradictions only arise within the flawed paradigms of our understanding, be they scientific or Biblical. Let's be honest, Biblical Creationism will never find fair and equal standing and acceptance with the non-believing world's accepted paradigm of origins. The truth of the Bible must be accepted by faith as the Word of God. The world has placed its "faith" in the Theory of Evolution and carnal reasoning. The supernatural intervention or acts of an invisible Divine Sovereign can neither be proved nor disproved by the scientific method. Regrettably, a large segment of Fundamental Christianity has placed its faith in an interpretation of Genesis which denies not only the historical facts contained within the Earth itself but, in some cases, the concise wording of the Holy Bible as well. A rightly-divided exegesis of the Genesis account, however, reveals the full truth when the geologic evidence is examined in the light of a truly literal Scriptural context. Without apology, we have taken a stand for the King James Authorized Version of the Bible as that Scriptural Authority in the English language. The Authorized King James Bible was first published in 1611 and the "Standard Text" we use today was revised in the year 1769. "For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." (Isaiah 55:8-9 KJV) On the page that immediately follows, we will discuss two very important Scripturally-defined terms, and the differences in conceptual meanings they convey. It is essential that students of God's Word comprehend these terms and differences in order to discern truth from traditional assumptions. These words are "Earth" and "World" and they are not same.

Trump challenges the Russian-Turkish-Iranian alliance

The US President's remarks about wanting to bring troops home from Syria may have complicated talks on how events should play out in the war-torn state

By M.K. Bhadrakumar April 5, 2018 5:45 PM (UTC+8)

Three is company. But if the trilateral dialogue format in international diplomacy seldom produces concrete results, that is because it cannot be sequestered from external influences. Besides, the three participants are bound to have specific interests and priorities. The long-awaited Turkey-Russia-Iran trilateral summit in Ankara on April 4 has been no exception. The summit didn’t end as a damp squib but its outcome has been measly. Three reasons can be attributed to this. First and foremost, the US President Donald Trump might have been responsible. The Ankara summit’s main agenda was Syria, but Trump’s “very-soon” remark in Ohio last Thursday introduced a strategic ambiguity into the Syrian situation. And he deepened the ambiguity further on the eve of the summit by stating on Tuesday at a meeting at the White House that he wanted to immediately withdraw US forces from the war-torn country, arguing that the US had already won the battle against the Islamic State. Trump said, “I want to get out — I want to bring our troops back home. It’s time. We were very successful against ISIS.” Trump literally barged into the Istanbul tent and hijacked the mind of the three presidents. What is the Syria that Erdogan, Putin and Rouhani would discuss – a Syria with open-ended US military presence or a Syria denuded of the Americans? That is now the big question. Pentagon and White House split on what to do? Even then, it is very unclear whether Trump himself is free to make up his mind. A former British ambassador to Syria Peter Ford framed the paradigm this way: “I have a feeling that there are divided counsels within the Pentagon, definitely in the White House (regarding US troop removal from Syria). Trump sincerely wants to get out since it’s what he campaigned on, but whether he’ll be allowed to by elements of the ‘deep state’ is the question.” The good thing is that there could be elements within the Pentagon who too who aren’t necessarily happy about an open-ended military presence in Syria without a clear-cut objective. The military mind cannot focus well when there are gnawing doubts. Second, the disclosure (by the Kremlin first) that Trump has invited Putin to the White House has opened a vista of new possibilities. What if a joint Russian-American peace initiative in Syria gets revived? Trump now becomes a “stakeholder” in a Syrian settlement. On the contrary, if the trilateral Russian-Turkish-Iranian dialogue on Syria (known as the Astana process) has gravitas today, it is mainly due to the Trump administration’s retrenchment from the Syrian peace process. The dalliance that the Obama administration (secretary of state John Kelly) kept going with the Kremlin (foreign minister Sergey Lavrov) has petered out and what remains today is the military-to-military “deconfliction” mechanism between the US and Russia to ensure that they don’t shoot at each other in Syria. But, if Trump and Putin breathe new life into a Russian-American joint enterprise to choreograph a Syrian settlement, the Astana process gets relegated to the backburner. Participants at the Ankara summit agreed to hold the next meeting in Astana in mid-May, but much water might flow under the bridge by then. Decision on Iran deal due by May 12 Third and finally, the fate of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) remains the “known unknown.” Trump is due to make a decision on the Iran nuclear deal by May 12. And the geopolitics of the Middle East could change dramatically, depending on what he decides to do – especially if Trump were to pull the US out of the JCPOA. The conventional wisdom is that changes at the US State Department and the National Security Council presage a more hawkish US foreign policy toward Iran. But there are weighty arguments too as to why Trump may not sound the death knell of the JCPOA and opt instead to simply give the nuclear deal a fresh lease of life, as he has done twice already. To be sure, depending on the state of play in US-Iranian relations, the geopolitics of the Middle East could change and Syria is the theatre where this could see visible impacts in the near-term. So it was notable that Iranian President Hassan Rouhani didn’t go for Trump’s jugular at the Ankara summit. Iran also refrained from pushing any fresh initiatives and seemed more or less happy with a passive role – biding its time and brooding, as it were. Given the above, what did the summit actually achieve? For a start, trilateral dialogue is always primarily a statement. What emerges from yesterday’s summit on the Bosporus is that the western influence in Syria (and the Levant) is inexorably on the wane. The summit underscored that the three countries intend to reinforce their influence in Syria. Having said that, while the summit flagged the intention of the three countries to deepen cooperation, they also have divergent goals. For instance, the Turkish priority was that Russia and Iran continued to acquiesce with its military operation. Erdogan stated at the joint press conference, “Turkey will not stop until all regions under PYD/PKK (Kurdish militia) control, including Manbij, are securedTurkey values Russia and Iran’s solidarity with its Afrin operation, we will establish grounds for peace in Afrin.” Rouhani and Russian President Vladimir Putin neither nodded agreement nor dissented. The single most important outcome of the summit where all three countries have shared interest is in their forceful affirmation of the unity and territorial integrity of Syria and their rejection of “all attempts to create new realities on the ground under the pretext of combatting terrorism.” The bottom line is that Russia, Turkey and Iran have a strong convergence of interests in the termination of the US military presence in Syria. Paradoxically, here again the Trump factor comes in. Their brittle alliance faces an existential threat if Trump somehow realizes his dream of bringing the US troops in Syria back home “where they belong.”

Preparations underway for second mass protest along Gaza security fence

Gaza and Israel’s IDF are preparing for another tense day along the security fence on Friday, as protesters amassed about 10,000 tires to be burned at the border and obscure Israeli troops’ vision. Both Israel and Palestinian groups have warned against the move, which could see both sides suffering an ecological disaster.

Apr 5, 2018, 1:45PM Avital Zippel

As Friday approaches, Gazans have amassed some 10,000 tires intended for burning during a second mass protest along the Gaza security fence. Women and children were instructed to carry mirrors and lasers to distract IDF snipers at the fence. The burnt tires are expected to create a “wall of smoke” along the border. According to Ynet News, several Palestinian groups in Gaza have expressed their objection to the move, claiming that the ecological repercussions would be negative for all sides. Meanwhile, Israel’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories Major-General Yoav Mordechai has sent a letter to the World Health Organization (WHO) warning of the environmental impact Friday’s protests will likely bring. In his letter, Mordechai urged WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom to do everything in his power to stop an imminent ecological “catastrophe.” Violent clashes along the Israel-Gaza border began last week as the Palestinians launched a “Great March of Return” near the security fence. At least 18 Palestinians have been killed in the clashes, most of them were members of the Hamas and PIJ terrorist organizations, the IDF said.

Buses ‘of expelled diplomats’ leave US Embassy in Moscow as recriminations continue over nerve agent attack on British soil

The exodus follows a row over a nerve agent attack in the UK blamed on Russia

More than 150 diplomats have been expelled by Britain and its allies

Russia vehemently denies any responsibility and has ordered reciprocal moves

Moscow has called for urgent UN Security Council talks on the poisoning

By Alastair Tancred For Mailonline and Associated Press Published: 23:55 EDT, 4 April 2018 | Updated: 07:56 EDT, 5 April 2018

Three buses believed to be carrying expelled American diplomats have departed from the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. Before the Thursday morning departure, journalists outside the embassy compound saw people leaving the residences, placing luggage on trucks. Some carried pet-carriers. Their departure is the result of a row over the nerve agent attack on a former Russian spy and his daughter in the UK. Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were found unconscious on a bench in the city of Salisbury last month. Britain alleges Russian involvement, which Moscow vehemently denies. Russia has meanwhile called for urgent UN Security Council talks on the spiraling diplomatic crisis sparked by the spy poisoning scandal. On Wednesday it convened a meeting of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) but was unable to get the required two-thirds of votes from members to approve a joint investigation into the incident. Six countries voted in favour of the Russian draft motion but 15 were against while 17 abstained, mainly countries from the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM). Moscow last week ordered 60 American diplomats to leave the country by Thursday in retaliation for the United States expelling the same number of Russians. More than 150 diplomats have been expelled by Britain and its allies, and Russia has ordered reciprocal moves. On Saturday, moving trucks pulled into the front of the US consulate in St Petersburg morning as the American flag was taken down, following the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov's announcement of its closure. The consulate's employees were given until 10pm (7pmGMT) to leave, while the residence must be vacated by the end of April, according to the Interfax news agency. It is the biggest wave of expulsions between Russia and the West in recent memory and has seen relations plunge to new post-Cold War lows. On Tuesday, The chief executive of Britain's Porton Down defense laboratory says that while its scientists have identified the nerve agent used they have not verified its 'precise source.' A spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry says Britain's failure to track down the source, shows that the accusations against Russia have been based merely on baseless suspicion.

Google employees petition CEO to drop out of Pentagon AI project

Over 3,100 signed a letter for a new company policy to never build "warfare technology."

David Lumb, @OutOnALumb 04.04.18 in Security

Over 3,100 Google employees have signed a petition opposing the company's part in a Pentagon AI program. The letter asked CEO Sundar Pichai to pull Google out of the project, which harnesses artificial intelligence to analyze video and could improve drone targeting. Further, it urged him to establish and enforce a policy that kept the company or its subsidiaries from ever building "warfare technology." That could include a lot of things, but if this partnership is a baseline, said policy would include simply providing government agencies with Google's tech. Gizmodo broke the news last month that the company would lend AI TensorFlow programming kits to the Pentagon's Project Maven, and according to sources, employees were outraged that the government would use it to improve drone operations. The Pentagon first announced Project Maven last May as a next-gen application of machine learning to churn through big data to get 'actionable' intelligence more quickly. Some of this is intended to automate administrative tasks, but Google's AI tech would improve the system's ability to parse video and could be used to better identify both targets and civilians. Despite what Google maintained was a "non-offensive" involvement with the Pentagon project, the letter to Pichai claimed that involvement would tarnish the corporation's brand. "Amid growing fears of biased and weaponized AI, Google is already struggling to keep the public's trust," the internally-circulating petition read, according to The New York Times. "The argument that other firms, like Microsoft and Amazon, are also participating doesn't make this any less risky for Google. Google's unique history, its motto Don't Be Evil, and its direct reach into the lives of billions of users set it apart." When reached for comment, Google provided the following statement: An important part of our culture is having employees who are actively engaged in the work that we do. We know that there are many open questions involved in the use of new technologies, so these conversations - with employees and outside experts - are hugely important and beneficial. Maven is a well publicized DoD project and Google is working on one part of it - specifically scoped to be for non-offensive purposes and using open-source object recognition software available to any Google Cloud customer. The models are based on unclassified data only. The technology is used to flag images for human review and is intended to save lives and save people from having to do highly tedious work. Any military use of machine learning naturally raises valid concerns. We're actively engaged across the company in a comprehensive discussion of this important topic and also with outside experts, as we continue to develop our policies around the development and use of our machine learning technologies."

Did These Prophetic Vision's Of America's Destruction Foresee Russia's Unstoppable Nuclear Weapons That Could Incinerate New York Or Texas In One Strike?

How Far Will Russia Be Pushed Before Unleashing 'Hellfire' Upon America?

By Mary Taylor - All News Pipeline April 4, 2018

When the enemy speaks, don’t read his lips. Read his body language! Take Russia, for instance. When Putin boasts of weapons with power to blast America from the face of the earth, what is he thinking--does he mean today? Or tomorrow? After all, we don’t really know the enigmatic Russian mind—who can fathom it? Steve Quayle’s site regularly cautions readers to watch a speaker’s body language to determine his or her truthfulness. Don’t just listen to the words; read the body language, the set of his mouth and the furrowed brow. Quayle has pointed out in pictures and videos cases of politicians looking down, staring and glaring, closing their eyes or biting their lips while testifying. It shows that the wary rarely look straight at their accusers--behind their eyes the real danger lies! Consider Eve, who could have profited all mankind by knowing her enemy in the Garden. She didn’t question the serpent but blindly followed his lead, but the Bible stresses the importance of looking behind the obvious and discounting the effects of flattering and lying lips. “A malicious man disguises himself with his lips, but in his heart he harbors deceit.” Proverbs 26:24 “Everyone lies to his neighbor; their flattering lips speak with deception. May the Lord cut off all flattering lips and every boastful tongue that says, ‘We will triumph with our tongues; we own our lips—who is our master?’” Psalm 12:3,4 So the development of discernment by face and body watching is advice that makes sense. Sometimes that’s the only way you can spot a socialist, a Stalinist, a Marxist or a revolutionist hiding behind a label of “Progressive.” “Russia cannot be understood with the mind alone,” the poet Tyutchev wrote. And yet when Russia is your country’s greatest enemy, it’s important to know his mind--what’s really behind all the bluster and the public saber rattling. When we look beyond the seeming impassivity of Vladimir Putin’s unexpressive stare, we wonder, is he really the tough guy—the unyielding powerhouse--that he seems. Is he irresolute, immovable in his threats and strong warnings about avoiding or inciting war? Just how far could Russia be pushed before unleashing the fiery hellfire ready to explode in Russia’s newest weapon of war: the intercontinental ballistic missile known as “Satan 2“? It may be that we won’t know until warnings given by some of America’s end-time prophets are fulfilled and missiles come soaring over the North Pole, ready to strike America’s vulnerable cities. That’s exactly what Putin inferred when he announced Satan 2’s ability to fly over the North or South Poles and strike any target in the world. In his book, “Cross+Wise: Visions of a Walker,” prayer walker Henry Gruver shared a vision about ballistic missiles. At this time, Henry was in Vancouver, British Columbia, but in the vision he shared found himself on the side of a mountain in California and seemed to be looking into the Bay area toward San Francisco. “I looked up and saw what answers to the description of an Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile, just as real as any that you would see these days,” he said. “I was overlooking a huge metropolis when I saw this missile directed toward the city. “It suddenly plummeted down into the city and then exploded. I saw the fire ball, which is identical to what I have seen in a civil defense film release of the first hydrogen bomb explosion.” Although Gruver’s vision happened more than half a century ago, he said he has been warning people ever since that this day is coming to America’s cities. He wants them to seek God’s protection from the enemy’s ballistic weapons and to be aware of their incredible powers of destruction. “The missile I saw hit right in the middle of that large metropolitan area,” he reported, “and the pressure demolished everything before it, leaving a crater over 300 feet deep and two miles across. It is capable of destroying a huge metropolis the size of New York City in one blast.” Gruver and other end-time prophets have shared visions of missile attacks on both the country’s eastern and western seaboards On the United States Prophecy site, John W. Johnston described a vision he had in 1986 where he was lifted high in the heavens and seemed to be flying “like Superman” in the skies. “I saw 10 long-range ICBMs with red Communist stars on their fusilages, each one carrying multiple warheads,” Johnston reported. “As I looked down to the ground I saw Manhattan, and I couldn’t believe these missiles were getting ready to hit New York with such magnitude. “The next thing I knew, I was down on the ground looking at all the devastation. Buildings were totally annihilated, with skyscrapers that had fallen over in a domino effect, and dead bodies lying everywhere.” Victor Ashe, a writer for Foreign Policy Magazine, warned back in 2016 that the US needs to keep a watchful eye on Putin and Russia since this country’s enemies had become emboldened over the seven years under Barack Obama. “Putin no longer feels restrained after the Obama administration allowed him to pursue his ‘near abroad’ strategy,” Ashe maintained. “His goal was to reestablish control over former Soviet states and threaten our allies.” But World News and Prophecy writer Rodney Hall has noted that after the Cold War and the fall of Berlin’s wall, many nations began to downplay Russia’s role in the contemporary world. “Looking back 20 years ago when the Soviet Union disintegrated, America was left as the only great power with unparalleled economic and military capacity,” Hall observed, “causing many Americans to think of Russia as the defeated opponent. “But Russia is stronger both economically and militarily today than most people realize,” he added. “And Bible prophecy reveals it is destined to play a major role in end-time events.” Although America isn’t mentioned in Biblical end-time prophecy, Russia’s role is made clear in the book of Ezekiel, where the prophet warns of a “future time” when the leader of Magog, or Russia, will come against the land of Israel. Russia will lead a “great horde” of nations including Persia (Iran), Ethiopia (Sudan), Gomer (Turkey) and Put (Libya). God himself has masterminded Russia’s role in the assault on Israel, promising that he will draw the great bear to its doom when all the nations surround Israel. “You will advance against my people Israel like a cloud that covers the land. In days to come, O Gog, I will bring you against my land, so the nations may know me when I show myself holy through you before their eyes”. Ezekiel 38:16 “I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army, fully armed.” Ezekiel 38: 3,4ed, and a great horde with large and small shields, all of them brandishing their weapons.” In an ANP article published this week on the Quayle site, author Stefan Stanford noted that other countries, recognizing the superiority of Russia’s “super-nukes”, are urgently taking steps to prepare for World War 3. Pointing out that globalists are pushing for a takedown of America, Stanford warned that war with Russia should be avoided at all costs. He quoted from Club Orlon a warning by Russians living in the U.S. that alerts the American people about the lies they are being told: “And the truth is simply this: If there is going to be a war with Russia, then the United States will most certainly be destroyed, and most of us will end up dead. “We tell you this not to be alarmist, but because, based on everything we know, we are ourselves alarmed. If attacked, Russia will not back down; she will retaliate, and she will utterly annihilate the United States.”

He said he had called law enforcement in the San Diego area because he was concerned about her recent ire towards YouTube. He said law enforcement authorities contacted him Tuesday at 2 a.m., telling him they had found his daughter safe in her car in Mountain View in Northern California. When the family realized that was near YouTube headquarters in San Bruno, they told police about her recent complaints about how the company was “ruining her life.” They claim police told them they would be keeping an eye on her. What more could the father have done?

Trump orders troops to border in push for security

By Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times - Wednesday, April 4, 2018

President Trump signed an order Wednesday deploying National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border to boost security while he pressures Congress to deliver more resources to build his wall, hire more Border Patrol agents and make it easier to deport new illegal immigrants. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said it’s too early to know how many troops will be sent, what their exact role will be or how much it will cost, but she suggested it would likely be along the lines of deployments by Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, who sent the National Guard to assist in intelligence-gathering, construction and surveillance. The move came just as the government announced the latest numbers showing illegal immigration leaped 200 percent in March compared with a year earlier. It is the largest increase in records dating back to 2011, and it suggests illegal immigration is quickly rising back to the heights of the Obama administration. Ms. Nielsen said National Guard troops could be on the border immediately, though exact timing would depend on when the White House could strike agreements with governors. Perhaps just as big was the White House announcement that Mr. Trump will pursue a new immigration debate on Capitol Hill. Unlike the February debate, which centered on legalizing illegal immigrants, this one will focus on stiffening enforcement by attempting to close loopholes that smugglers and illegal immigrants have seized on to “game” the system.

World War 3: Turkey's Erdogan calls for 'ARMY of Islam' to ATTACK Israel on all sides

TURKEY’S President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) have announced they want to create an “army of Islam” to wage war against Israel, it has been revealed.

By Matt Drake

PUBLISHED: 06:15, Tue, Mar 27, 2018 | UPDATED: 07:46, Tue, Mar 27, 2018

Less than a month ago the Turkish state’s mouthpiece the daily Yeni Şafak ran an article for Erdogan titledA call for urgent action” and on the newspaper’s website headlined “What if an army of Islam formed against Israel?” It called for the 57 member states of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to form a joint army to simultaneously attack Israel from all sides. The article said: “If the member states of the OIC unite militarily, they will form the world’s largest and most comprehensive army. “The number of active soldiers would be at least 5,206,100, while the defence budget would reach approximately $175billion (£124billion).” This was accompanied by an interactive map providing formation of military forces for a joint Muslim attack on Israel. The article provided additional details of the plan, saying: “It is expected that 250,000 soldiers will participate in the first of a possible operation. “Land, air and naval bases of member states located in the most critical regions will be used. “Joint bases will be constructed in a short period of time… It is possible for 500 tanks and armoured vehicles, 100 planes and 500 attack helicopters and 50 ships to mobilise quickly.” Erdogan did not deny his support for the report and has on several occasions said he would like to resurrect the Ottoman Empire. The tyrant has established military bases in Qatar and Somalia and recently reached an agreement with Sudan to acquire a Sudanese island in the Red Sea to be used as a military base. He has also repeatedly threatened to invade Greek islands in the Mediterranean and has recently invaded Syria under the pretext of fighting Kurdish terrorism. Erdogan has also locked up journalists and activists who have spoken out against his regime. But the European Union is urging members to approve a further €3.7billion (£3.28billion) to help Turkey deal with Syrian refugees who arrived in their country. Brussels will now push to get Turkey the extra €2.7 billion (£2.4billion) from national governments, some of whom may be unwilling to pump new cash into the country. Europe's relations with Erdogan has been fraught in recent years but the EU depends on Turkey to keep a tight lid on immigration from the Middle East, where the war in Syria has killed hundreds of thousands and pushed millions from homes. However, a draft document seen by Politico notes that if countries do not contribute and order the money be taken from the EU budget only, “standard EU rules would apply and the member states would be excluded from the governance of the facility (for refugees in Turkey).” Top EU officials will meet Erdogan on March 26 in the Bulgarian city of Varna despite misgivings among many on the European side. The bloc's top migration official Dimitris Avramopoulos will announce on Wednesday that the European Commission proposes the extra funding on projects benefiting Syrian refugees in Turkey. Turkey has accepted 3.5 million refugees from Syria, and the EU is already spending a first €3billion (£2.1billion) instalment to help them.

Israel thwarts major Islamic Jihad missile attack against naval vessels

The Shin Bet and IDF foiled the plot, which would use one boat as a decoy and two others to attack and board an Israeli navy vessel in order to kill and capture the sailors.

By Tovah Lazaroff April 4, 2018 13:51

Security forces said on Wednesday they thwarted a potential missile attack by Islamic Jihad in Gaza against its naval forces that also included a plan to kidnap IDF soldiers. The State Attorney’s Office indicted the alleged ringleader, Amin Saadi Muhammad Jumaa, in Beersheba District Court on Wednesday. The IDF charged that this was the latest in a string of attacks by Islamic Jihad in Gaza against Israel, including the terror tunnel it had dug under the border that was discovered in October 2017. Islamic Jihad had also fired mortars from Gaza into Israel last November and December, the IDF said. The Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) published information about the alleged terrorist plot now, during the first week of what is planned to be a six-week popular Gaza protest, called the “Great March of Return.” Starting last Friday, thousands of Palestinians in the Strip gathered by the Israeli border fence, some attempting to break through it. The naval plot “proves the true intentions of the terrorist organizations in Gaza, which are trying to disguise their murderous intentions by provocative actions against the security fence. Their sole purpose is to provide a cover under which terrorists can carry out attacks against Israel,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said. Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman tweeted ironically that he hoped this time the Israeli Left would not demand an investigation into activities of the Shin Bet and the IDF in foiling the plot. He added that Israeli citizens could depend on the army to thwart the complex challenges on the Gaza border. The IDF released a video to the media that showed how on March 12, naval commandos boarded a Gaza fishing vessel from Rafah that had sailed beyond the permissible nautical distance. “Get on the floor and put your hands up,” the commandos told the 10 Palestinians, including Jumaa, before arresting them. The Shin Bet said that during his interrogation, Jumaa, who was born in Gaza in 1994, confessed to a plot by which one Gazan fishing vessel would act as a decoy, forcing an Israel Navy ship to approach it. At that moment Palestinians on board a second fishing boat would fire a Cornet shipto- ship rocket at the naval vessel. Palestinians would then board that vessel from a third ship, so they could kidnap soldiers who survived the attack. Islamic Jihad, with Jumaa’s help, had been gathering intelligence about the navy off the Gaza coast to prepare for the attack, the Shin Bet said. According to the indictment, Jumaa turned to Islamic Jihad in 2016, and in 2017 it was suggested that he become a secret member and undergo secret training. He was recruited for the naval plot in August 2017 for a fee of $5,000 after Israel blew up an Islamic Jihad attack tunnel from Gaza into Israel, killing a number of its terrorists. In 2017 and 2018 he went out on Gaza fishing boats to collect information about how the navy operated and how many sailors were on board its ships. Jumaa also took photographs with his cellphone, which he transferred to Islamic Jihad along with information on how best to carry out the attack. According to the indictment, he was able to hide his phone when the IDF boarded his fishing vessel on March 12. The prosecutor’s office charged that this was not Jumaa’s first involvement in terrorist-related activity. Six years ago he helped Hamas smuggle 300 kilograms of explosives by boat from Egypt to Gaza. Four years ago he was paid $6,000 to help smuggle 150 barrels of fiberglass through a tunnel that ran from Egypt to Gaza. Three years ago he used a tunnel to smuggle four Kalashnikov rifles and a pistol into Gaza. The state has asked the court for a life sentence for his involvement in terrorist activity and for transferring information to the enemy.

'Nightmare bacteria' are trying to spread in the U.S., CDC says

Aggressive testing at hospitals and clinics can stop superbugs

by Maggie Fox / Apr.03.2018 / 1:03 PM ET / Updated Apr.04.2018 / 8:21 PM ET

“Nightmare bacteria” with the power to resist most antibiotics are popping up across the U.S., but new, aggressive policies can help stop them from spreading, federal health officials said Tuesday. A new program for testing suspect bacteria turned up unusual antibiotic-resistance genes 221 times in 2017, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported. And 11 percent of people screened for these superbugs carried them, even though they had no symptoms, the CDC said. “CDC’s study found several dangerous pathogens, hiding in plain sight, that can cause infections that are difficult or impossible to treat,” said the CDC’s Dr. Anne Schuchat. “While they are appearing all over the place, an aggressive approach can snuff them out.” Antibiotic-resistant germs kill more than 23,000 Americans a year. They evolve quickly, developing mutations that let them evade the effects of antibiotics. If they are not stopped fast, they spread. Worse, the antibiotic-resistant DNA can be carried in little cassettes of genetic material called plasmids that bacteria can slip in their entirety to one another and to other species of bacteria. It’s already happened several times in the U.S. — and when one superbug gives new powers to a different superbug, the result can be an infection that is impossible to treat. “Once antibiotic resistance spreads, it is harder to control—like a wildfire,” the CDC said in a statement. The World Health Organization has labeled antibiotic resistance a “fundamental threat” to humanity. The CDC tried out a new system aimed at quickly identifying these superbugs. They’ve helped staff up state health departments and labs to speedily test samples so that hospitals, clinics and other facilities can rapidly isolate patients infected with them. “We were able to put 500 additional staff across the country to help with this,” Schuchat told NBC News. Carrying germs, without any symptoms The results were sobering. One in four of the samples sent in carried superbug genes, the CDC team reported. When the facilities involved looked further, they found 11 percent of seemingly unaffected people screened carried such germs without having any symptoms. “This means the germ could have spread undetected in that health care facility,” the CDC said. That is what has been happening for decades with all sorts of infections, from methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) to killer Clostridium difficile infections. Inappropriate overuse of antibiotics is and has been a major factor, said Dr. Lance Price, who directs the Antibiotic Resistance Action Center at George Washington University. “Healthy people will carry these bugs without symptoms,” said Price, who was not involved in the CDC study. “We can spread them to susceptible people. We can become almost like a human mosquito, spreading these germs.” Healthy people can unknowingly transmit the germs to a cancer patient, someone getting an organ transplant, a vulnerable newborn or a frail elderly person. That’s when an infection can take hold and kill. “What the CDC is highlighting is the need, once you identify people carrying these bugs, to screen them and also their contacts to make sure they haven’t passed these bugs,” Price said. The CDC tested for two of the best-known superbug germs: carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae or CRE, and carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) bacteria. They compared the new strategy to a more limited approach aimed at fighting another type of bacteria that resist antibiotics called extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs). The more assertive approach worked better. “We have seen that an aggressive strategy is needed and it works well,” Schuchat said. The intensive approach is expensive and time-consuming. It calls for rapid identification of resistance, something that itself requires a specialized lab. Then the affected clinic, hospital or nursing home has to make an infection control assessment and test patients without symptoms who may carry and spread the germ. “The strategy requires a coordinated response among health care facilities, labs, health departments and CDC through the Antibiotic Resistance Lab Network," the CDC said. “This is a very aggressive approach but containment of new resistance germs is really important," Schuchat added. "Otherwise we could see these new nightmare bacteria become very common and essentially untreatable.” Funding is key, said Dr. Paul Auwaerter, president of the Infectious Diseases Society of America. "The efforts detailed in the Vital Signs report were made possible through new congressional funding in 2016 to combat antibiotic resistance," Auwaerter said. "We urge Congress to sustain and to grow that investment so that further progress will prepare us to meet the future challenges of antibiotic resistance from a position of strength." Price said it is already difficult to get doctors, hospitals and clinics to implement other programs that work, which include regular hand washing and disinfection, as well as testing and the appropriate use of antibiotics. “I am a fan of what they are proposing to do,” he said. But it will do little to catch superbugs that are already spreading in communities. “I think what we need to do is not always wait for somebody to get sick. We need an active surveillance system,” Price said. Plus, doctors need to do the right thing when people do turn up sick. “They should be getting a culture before they write a prescription for an antibiotic,” he said. But doctors are not using the quick tests that already exist. “We need point-of-care tests, so that people can get that answer while they still at the doctor. Until payers start paying for these tests, no one is going to develop them,” Price said. In the meantime, doctors who want good ratings give patients what they demand: a prescription, even though antibiotics do not help viral infections and are helping drive the evolution of superbugs. “Nobody is writing a five-star review for that doctor who is a really good steward of antibiotics,” Price said.

The Engine That Drives Civilization Has Failed In America - Our Ruination Can Be Traced Back To The Decay And Disintegration Of The 'Family Unit' And America Becoming A Fatherless Nation

March 30, 2018 By Mary Taylor - All News Pipeline

Now you see him--now you don’t! When it comes to disappearing dads and fatherless homes, the American family isn’t what it used to be. In short, fatherlessness has become a crisis in this country, as pillars that once upheld the traditional American family—heterosexual married parents, at-home moms, generational boundaries, and parental discipline--give way to a new, looser morality that affects America’s children, and not for the better. The National Center for Fathering maintains that almost every social ill faced by today’s children is related to fatherlessness. The Center cites data showing that children raised in fatherless homes are more likely to be poor and to become involved in drug and alcohol abuse. “They are more likely to drop out of school, and suffer from health and emotional problems,” the site points out. “While boys are more at risk of becoming involved in crime, girls are more likely to become pregnant as teens.” A blog on Fathers Incorporated blames “broad changes in family demographics” for leaving many of America’s children without the support or involvement of their fathers. That’s another way of voicing a truth that more and more describes the plight of America today: the breakdown of families. It isn’t something you can easily discuss, even among friends. An article in the National Review described family breakdown as “a subject that many people are uncomfortable with.” “Everyone either is or knows and has a deep personal connection to someone who is divorced, cohabiting, or gay,” author Michael Barone writes. “Great numbers of people simply want to avoid awkward talk of what are seen as primarily personal issues or issues of individual morality.” In other words, the concept of traditional morality has changed, and society is now tracking the number of “nonmarital births”—children born to a mother, without the blessing of a father. It reflects the current national trend: couples living together or “hooking up” after a few dates, but not marrying anymore when children are on the way. When did all this start to happen? Most young people today can’t relate at all to the TV families like Ozzie and Harriett or The Waltons that served as models for the nation before divorce rates began to spiral in the mid-1960’s. As religious and social barriers started to crumble, children found themselves fatherless with divorce leaving single moms and weekend fathers who didn’t always live up to visitation rights. By 2012 statistics and research by the US Department of Census showed 43 percent of US children living without their father. A startling 90% of homeless and runaway children were from fatherless homes. The problem was universal, not confined to a single ethnic group. But a Vespa survey in 2013 revealed that 58 percent of black children and 31 percent of Hispanic children were living without their biological fathers. As the numbers continue to climb today, we are inclined to ask, what is happening to the American family? Is it becoming a vanishing species? Certainly this isn’t the way it was from the beginning, not the way God’s word says he intended life on this planet to be. “God sets the lonely in families.” Psalm 68:6. “Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.” Psalm 127: 3-5 Father absence has become so rampant in the African-American community that Pastor T.D. Jakes, whose sermons regularly fill the 8,000-seat Potters House in Dallas, has made it the topic of many of his books and sermons. Recently he has produced videos like Fatherless Child and Healing Fatherless America. Jakes’ “ManPower” conferences encourage African American men to assume the roles of faithful husbands, caring fathers, and dependable providers. He regularly reminds men and women in his church that they can have a positive effect on building healthy families. “For children raised without fathers, there is a hole in the soul many try to fill with promiscuity, drugs and other unhealthy behavior,” the pastor said. “But there is a way everyone can fill it in a positive way—by giving what you didn't get. You can fulfill that role for another fatherless child.” Another timely question is, what about teenage boys who father children? Watchtower Online Library notes that teen fathers rarely take any long-term responsibility when it comes to a girlfriend’s positive pregnancy test. An article on the Library site quoted one teenage boy whose girlfriend became pregnant: “I just told her, ‘See ya’ round,’“he said. The article pointed out that without parental pressure, many boys are content to go their own way and let paternity become a girl problem. Neither do millennial men always step up the plate to acknowledge the consequences of their sleepovers and casual dating hookups. When those consequences involve the untimely announcement of a new life on the way, suddenly a guy’s freedom never looked so good. As for women facing an unexpected pregnancy, many soon realize they’ve been looking for love in the wrong places with all the wrong partners. The glow of romantic love suddenly fades when they consider single motherhood without a father willing to help protect and provide for little ones. Sometimes then, the American dream of happily ever after fades and both parties begin to look for a way out. For men particularly, it’s bug-out time. A woman left alone may consider several options, none of which are promising for the new life about to come on the scene. She can choose to carry her baby and raise the child alone or opt to use the services of an accredited adoption agency. But more and more in this country, what used to be the last option---one that no one really ever spoke about--is now becoming the first. Today’s culture has conditioned many young pregnant women to find benefits in becoming pro-choice, willingly following the callous crowd to centers like Planned Parenthood for an abortion. So the would-be dad is let off the hook, never to have to confront the fate of the child he fathered. The attitude often is, just give me my freedom, and I don’t want to know the rest. But this scenario flies in the face of God’s plan for mankind to marry, have children and populate the earth. In fact, the Bible tells us that children are a sign of God’s blessing on the family. “So God created man in his own image….Male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them ‘Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it.’” Genesis 1:27,28 “Children are a blessing and a gift from the Lord.” Psalm 127:3 The message, according to God’s word, is clear: Procreation and children equal blessings for a nation while a land without fathers becomes largely, a land without God and a moral society. David Blankenhorn’s book Fatherless America, was written in the 1970’s when he looked ahead and saw a time when the nation would suffer from father flight, a trend that he predicted would change the shape of our society. He foresaw that the U.S. of our generation would be divided into two groups, separate and unequal. “They will live fundamentally divergent lives,” Blankenhorn wrote. “One group will receive basic benefits—psychological, social, economic, educational and moral—that are denied to the other group.” He maintained that the primary fault line dividing the two groups would not be race, religion, class, education or gender. It would be patrimony—the presence, or not—of a father. “One group will consist of adults who grew up with the daily presence and provision of fathers and the other did not. It will create a dual citizenry—the haves and the have-nots of our nation’s adult world.”

Parkland, We Have a Problem!

Thursday, March 29, 2018

Breaking News as of April 1, 2018: It has just been revealed that a permit for the Washington DC "March for Our Lives" demonstration, supposedly organized to protest the Parkland Florida school mass shootings, was requested months before the killings occurred! See this article which contains official confirmation from the Washington DC Police Department from The Washington Standard for details and circulate widely. On Valentine's Day, February 14, 2018, a mass murder occurred at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland Florida resulting in the shooting deaths of seventeen people. I am not a fan of the Left or of its "gun control" movement, an admission that will not be news to frequent readers of this page. With that bias fully disclosed, this post identifies problems within the tragedy's reported sequence of events. The event timeline shown below, except for the 9:32 a.m. and 2:52 p.m. entries, is taken from the SunSentinal newspaper in Parkland and the link to the paper's original article is here. Items that require further investigation, explanation, or that just do not make sense are in shown in red font. 9:32 a.m. The 9:32 time is taken from David Hogg's tape in which he claims to be videotaping an interview with fellow student, Alex View. The following exchange was recorded and we've provided a link to the video just below this excerpted dialogue: David Hogg: “This is Alex View. This recording is taken at 9:32 on February 14th 2018, Alex, are you ok with me recording this?” Alex View: “Yes, I am ok with you recording this. I personally have rallied for gun rights and less control, not necessarily less control but this experience has definitely changed my viewpoint.” Here's the link and this video's content is a huge problem for the "March for Our Lives" movement. Hogg's interview with Alex View begins at approximately the 0:57 second mark. Some have attempted to explain the apparent discrepancy between the 9:52 time Hogg provided on the video and the 2:21 p.m. start time of Cruz's killing spree by saying that perhaps the video was shot at 9:32 p.m. However, on February 14, 2018, sunset in Parkland Florida occurred at 6:13 p.m. By 9:52 p.m., it was completely dark. The video that is playing concurrent with Hogg's interview shows students and emergency responders walking around the campus in broad daylight. Moreover, David Hogg himself obligingly destroys this explanation by claiming on this Tweet that the time problem was the result of "manipulative editing". 2:06 p.m. Uber picks up Cruz. 2:19 p.m. Uber drops Cruz off at Stoneman Douglas High School, just before the school day ends, when gates are open and it’s easy to enter the campus. 2:21 p.m. Cruz enters the east stairwell of Building 12 with an AR-15 rifle in a black case and begins shooting. 2:28:35 p.m. Cruz exits Building 12 and runs west towards the tennis courts and then heads south. 2:29:51 p.m. Cruz crosses field and runs west with others who are fleeing the area. 2:50 p.m. Cruz arrives at Walmart, enters the store and buys a drink at the interior Subway, then leaves on foot. 2:51 p.m. First notice of shootings to Broward Health North. 2:52 p.m. David Hogg is the source of the 2:52 p.m. time on this video. EDITOR'S NOTE: This video was embedded here from a link to the LA Times. It appears the Times has taken steps to cripple that link since it was posted here. You may still be able to find it if you'll do a search on "David Hogg Parkland Closet Video". My apologies for the inconvenience. It was allegedly taped during the massacre as Hogg hid in a school closet with fellow students. On the tape, he even names Cruz (whom he did not know) as the probable gunman. The idea that a seventeen year old student would interview fellow students about gun control (or anything else for that matter) with shots ringing out and fellow students dying around him is just too absurd to merit comment. 2:55 p.m. First victim arrives at ER at Broward Health North. 3:01 p.m. Cruz goes to nearby McDonalds, sits down for a short time and then leaves on foot. 3:33 p.m. First patient arrives at Broward Health Medical Center. 3:41 p.m. Cruz is detained near 4700 Wyndham Lakes Drive., Coral Springs by Coconut Creek Officer Michael Leonard. After being identified by witnesses, Cruz is placed under arrest. That concludes the timeline for the day of the shooting. Another problematic video was shot on February 17th 3 days after the massacre, following a Fort Lauderdale gun control rally. Here's the link. At about the 4:26 mark, Hogg begins speaking. Pay close attention to what he says: "On the day of the shooting, I got my camera and got on my bike and road as fast as I could three miles from my house to the school to get as much video and to get as many interviews as I could because I knew that this could not be another mass shooting." That is very odd phrasing to say the least. Why would Hogg say he knew "it could not be another mass shooting" if he was present during the slaughter, particularly if the video he allegedly took in a school closet during the massacre is authentic? Now consider the text of another Hogg interview excerpted from this video at Vox.com. Because of timing. At 6 pm after the shooting, I took my camera, got on my bike. I rode in basically twilight. And I ride my bike three miles down winding sidewalks and find my way to the school, as I’ve done in previous years. All the while, I was making sure my camera bag didn’t rip open, because if you zip it a certain way, the camera falls out, and it would be destroyed. I start shooting B-roll, and I see Fox News over there. I knew I wanted to talk on the news and make sure there was advocacy, especially with so many people from the [National Rifle Association] and different gun-toting Americans who watch Fox News. I went on the day of [the shooting], and said, “There cannot be another mass shooting,” and I think that’s partially why. But also other people started saying that at the same time. Which would be fine, except that is not what he said on camera. He did not say, “There cannot be another mass shooting,” which sounds like something a passionate activist might say. No, instead he said, "This could not be another mass shooting," which sounds like something someone who didn't know what was happening might say. Substituting "There cannot be" for "this could not be" conveys an entirely different meaning. The Left is now outraged over the public's lack of enthusiasm for this allegedly student-led and organized "March for Our Lives" movement and its events, turnout for which has been significantly less than its fired-up advocates anticipated despite an unremitting 24/7 drum-beat of passionate media advocacy. I have no ready explanation for the narrative's very real internal problems. However, real journalists, interested in fact rather than propaganda, could perform a public good by answering the questions raised in this post and by identifying the sources of money that paid for the shiny "March for Our Lives" buses, commercially-produced signs, media advertising, and logistical support. I won't hold my breath waiting for that to happen.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) revealed to Fox News host Laura Ingraham Thursday evening that disgraced former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe lied repeatedly to the Justice Department. Peter Voogd Interviews Amy Porterfield On How to Master Social Media & Build a Real Brand

JORDAN: “McCabe didn’t lie just once, he lied four times. He lied to James Comey. He lied to the Office of Professional Responsibility and he lied twice under oath to the Inspector General. Remember, this is Andrew McCabe, Deputy Director of the FBI. This is Andrew McCabe, the text messages between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page talking about Andy’s office, the meeting where they talk about the insurance policy in case Donald Trump is actually President of the United StatesFour times he lied about leaking information to the Wall Street Journal.” “Ex-FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe admitted Saturday he was “confused and distracted” when he talked to investigators about alleged misconduct during a 2016 investigation of the Trump campaign,” reported the New York Post. Earlier this month, Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired McCabe on the recommendation of FBI disciplinary officials. “Both the OIG and FBI OPR reports concluded that Mr. McCabe had made an unauthorized disclosure to the news media and lacked candor − including under oath − on multiple occasions,” Sessions said in a statement. According to The New York Times and Washington Post, Inspector General Michael Horowitz is set to accuse McCabe of not only leaking to the media, but then misleading the Justice Department about it. The New York Times reported: A Justice Department review is expected to criticize the former F.B.I. deputy director, Andrew G. McCabe, for authorizing the disclosure of information about a continuing investigation to journalists, according to four people familiar with the inquiry. The disgraced FBI official reportedly authorized a leak to the Wall Street Journal, leading to an October 2016 article revealing an internal dispute between FBI and Justice Department officials about how to handle the Clinton email investigation after discovering classified emails on former Congressman Anthony Weiner’s laptop.

Once Again the Question Must Be Asked: Who Did Deep State Catch AG Jeff Sessions in Bed With?

Jim Hoft by Jim Hoft March 29, 2018

Considering the unbelievable actions by feckless Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Thursday we are once again posting this from October 2017. Two of the loudest slogans that Americans bellowed at Trump rallies last year during the run up to the election were “Drain the Swamp” – It’s amazing that the most important and emotional slogans during the campaign represented what Americans wanted from this President! The Obama years were full of shocking, disturbing, corrupt and criminal actions by a radical far left administration and the DC swamp that kept it afloat. Americans wanted this all cleaned up. Americans want Trump to drain the swamp. Now after nine months in office, much has been done. The stock market is on a record rally, the greatest stock market rally ever. Americans are finding work. The economy is on fire and illegal immigration is way down. Fewer Americans today are on food stamps which was Obama’s major accomplishment. The wall is being designed and selected. But what has happened with the swamp? The answer lies with President Trump’s Attorney General. Day after day since he was sworn in as AG, Jeff Sessions has failed his President and the American people. In July, after his son in law was brought in for questioning related to the fake Russia collusion story about President Trump having ties with the Russians, the President fired off at his AG – He started by tweeting – Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump campaign – “quietly working to boost Clinton.” So where is the investigation A.G. The President was right in being upset with this Attorney General. Sessions recused himself from any Russia related work and then assisted in the hiring of corrupt Assistant AG Rod Rosenstein, who was involved in the Clinton Uranium One scandal and cover-up. Rosenstein then created a special investigation into Trump and Russia colluding in the election and hired his long time friend and work colleague Robert Mueller, the former Head of the FBI who is also involved in the Uranium One cover-up scandal. It’s now suspected that Mueller is trying to cover-up Deep State crimes with the Clintons. Day after day Sessions’ Department of Justice and the FBI prevent requests from Judicial Watch in obtaining government information related to Obama and Clinton scandals and crimes. Where is Jeff Sessions? Why doesn’t he step in and make arrests, fire employees committing insubordination and deal with the corrupt and criminal employees in his Justice Department? If anyone would have said that nine months into a Trump Presidency the only investigation would be a Trump Russia collusion investigation, it would have seemed impossible.  Now it’s clear that Sessions is a bad actor. Sessions is compromised! He’s one of them! He’s the swamp! Senator Sessions was either lying when he presented himself as a Trump supporter or he was caught doing something he is terribly afraid may be leaked to the public. Sessions is afraid of being framed and outed. Right now it just doesn’t matter, his actions, whether due to blackmail or not, make Sessions as bad as Holder and Lynch, Obama’s corrupt AG’s, and the biggest snake in the swamp!

An Objective Analysis of the QAnon Phenomenon

March 28, 2018

Claiming to be a high-level government insider, “Q” has been posting cryptic messages on 8Chan, unveiling the extent of the “deep state” while claiming that it is about to be taken down. Here’s a look at this mind-boggling phenomenon. To some, “Q” is a hero, a patriot, and maybe even something of a savior. To others, Q is a troll conducting either an elaborate LARP (a live-action role-playing game) or a government-conducted PSYOP. At the center of it all: Hundreds of cryptic messages posted on a regular basis by an anonymous 8Chan user who claims to have “Q Clearance”, the “highest level of security within all departments”. (Although we don’t if Q is a man, woman or a group of people, the pronoun “he” will be used in this article for legibility). Through short forum posts comprised of keywords, codes, riddles, questions, pictures, and bizarre computer commands, Q claims to be delivering the “biggest intel drop in known history”. Every few days, a piece is added to a gigantic conspiracy puzzle which, once understood, is said to unlock the truth about the powers that be. And nothing less. Through his posts, Q describes a global elite that is evil, satanic, and bent on pedophilia. In his descriptions, this elite group deals with international human trafficking, it orchestrates false flag events to advance its agenda, and conducts occult rituals behind closed doors. It owns and uses Hollywood, mainstream media and social networks to control the narrative and to censor the truth. While the above might not surprise the average “truther”, Q’s message has a startling twist: Donald Trump is actually raging a silent war against this globalist elite and is even brewing a major “counter-coup” to retake the American government. According to Q, Mueller’s investigation regarding Russian collusion is a front. In actuality, he’s about to indict hundreds of high-profile politicians and celebrities including the Clintons, Podestas, and Soros of this world. This operation is expected to cause intense turmoil and even riots. Q followers refer to this period as “the storm” – a reference to Trump’s eyebrow-raising remark made on October 6th about a gathering of military officers being “the calm before the storm”. When asked what he meant, Trump responded: “You’ll see.” Here’s a look at the main elements of the Q phenomenon. Crumbs Q uses 8Chan for his intel drops – a board that is virtually unmoderated and populated with users who love to sleuth online and obsesses over details. For this reason, they refer to themselves as “autists”. The “autistic” element is necessary because Q claims he cannot reveal things directly. He must use codes and questions to “reduce sniffer programs that continually absorb and analyze data”. Q’s first post, made on October 28th, 2017, made a bold prediction about Hillary Clinton’s arrest, ensuing “massive riots” and the activation of the National Guard across the country on October 30th. Evidently, October 30th came and went, and none of this happened. This did not stop Q from adding hundreds of additional posts in the following months. The second crumb utilizes Q’s characteristic short questions and keywords to lay out the core of the plot. Like many other Q crumbs, this post refers to lots people, theories, and concepts. “Mockingbird” is a keyword that is often used by Q. It most likely refers to the CIA project Operation Mockingbird: “Operation Mockingbird was an alleged large-scale program of the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) that began in the early 1950s and attempted to manipulate news media for propaganda purposes. It funded student and cultural organizations and magazines as front organizations.” – Wikipedia, OPeration Mockingbird Q’s crumb states that Trump is “isolated”, that he goes around the “three letter agencies”, that he relies on Military intelligence and that he purposely surrounded himself with generals. He adds that the battle is not about Democrats versus Republicans. Post #133 details Q’s conception of the global elite which, in his words, is hard to swallow. This post states that the “puppet masters” are based on 3 “sides”, like a triangle: The Saudis, the Rothschilds, and the Soros. At the center of the triangle, the “eye” is fed by governments worldwide using slush funds, wars, and environmental pacts. Q then alludes to Satan worship and Epstein Island. More specifically, he mentions the bizarre temple on Epstein Island, which he believes has hidden levels below. The temple on Jeffrey Epstein’s private Caribbean island Little St James. Jeffrey Epstein is a highly influential billionaire who was known for organizing massive parties with high-profile politicians and celebrities. Flight records show Bill Clinton flew on Epstein’s plane 26 times. In 2008, Epstein was convicted of soliciting an underage “sex slave” for prostitution, for which he served 13 months in prison. “Brought in on the billionaire’s private jets, nicknamed the Lolita Express by locals, numerous teenage girls were allegedly made to take part in depraved orgies at his US Virgin Islands bolthole.” – THe Telegraph, Stephen Hawking pictured on Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘Island of Sin’ Later crumbs allude to the importance of “spirit cooking” and mind controlled slaves in Hollywood. Analyzing each crumb could fill an encyclopedia. Throughout his posts, Q touches on a variety of topics such as the Vegas shooting, the Saudi regime change, the North Korean negotiations, the tracking of Edward Snowden, a push for an Internet Bill of Rights and much more. For many, these claims are hard to believe and “fake news”. However, Q’s “proofs” – evidence that he is directly connected with the POTUS – has turned many skeptics into believers.

Proofs To prove the fact that he is close to the POTUS, Q submitted revealing pictures and predicted some POTUS-related events. This led many to believe that he is indeed a White House insider. Some even believe Q is Trump himself. Here are some examples of proofs. 1- Do It Q A Trump tweet posted on November 8th, which celebrated the one year anniversary of his election win, is said to contain clues relating to Q. If one goes on Trump’s official Twitter account to this specific picture, the file name will be DOITQJ8UIAAowsQ.jpg. The fact that the first letters spell out “DO IT Q” is interpreted by some as clue confirming that Q is directly connected to Trump. Also, the headline of the newspaper in front of Trump says: “Princes and tycoons arrested in Saudi crackdown on corruption” – a topic often brought up in Q crumbs. Finally, this is one of the tweet’s replies: 2- Special Place On December 10th, Q’s crumb said that they’ve picked out a “special place” for GS (possibly George Soros). On December 17th, Trump posted a tweet using the words “special place” which was interpreted as another clue. Q often insists on noting the similarity between his posts and the tweets sent out by the POTUS.

3- The Pen On December 12th, Q posted a picture of a pen next to a White House stationery with the message “Merry Christmas”. 10 minutes later, Trump posted tweet saying Happy Hanukkah. When an 8Chan user highlighted this connection, Q posted another picture of this mysterious pen. In an interview, the journalist Jerome Corsi believes to have identified the mysterious desk. “That’s the Laurel desk. It’s the one that Obama used and apparently Trump is also using at Camp David. That’s the desktop at Camp David. The pen is a Montblanc ink pen that Trump has used for a long time. That’s Camp David over the weekend and that picture had to have been taken by somebody who was there with President Trump. His pen on the desk; that pretty much authenticates that QAnon is very close to Donald Trump and present in some of these really important inner circle White House meetings.”

Obama sitting in the Laurel office in Camp David. Is it the same desk? 4- Consensual Tweet On January 7th, a Trump tweet contained a mistake where the word “consensual” was used instead of “consequential”. Left: The original tweet. Right: The corrected tweet. Although the mistake was corrected a few minutes afterward, it quickly made headlines and was widely ridiculed. An example of a headline mocking the consensual tweet. However, according to Q followers, the typo was no accident. The fact that Trump omitted and then added a word with letter Q was interpreted as a message from Trump to Q followers. Q himself added that it was no accident. 5- Prediction In the evening of December 10th, Q’s drop contained the words Blunt & Direct Time. The next one mentioned “false flag(s)” and “fireworks”. The next morning, a pipe bomb partially detonated in the New York City Subway’s Times Square–42nd Street/Port Authority Bus Terminal station. The suspected bomber was identified by police as 27-year-old Akayed Ullah, a Salafi Muslim immigrant from Bangladesh. The following evening, Q explained what he meant by “Blunt & Direct Time”. BDT is the currency of Bangladesh. Therefore, the crumb implies that Q was aware of the coming “fireworks” and of the nationality of the terrorist. Several other proofs circulate around The Storm, all of which can be interpreted as undeniable clues from the POTUS himself or mere coincidences dreamt up by overactive minds. Media Coverage As expected, media coverage about Q is extremely biased, partisan and opinionated. One of the first articles regarding Q appeared in NYmag. The article states: “A new conspiracy theory called “The Storm” has taken the grimiest parts of the internet by, well, storm. the Storm conspiracy features secret cabals, a child sex-trafficking ring led (in part) by the satanic Democratic Party, and of course, countless logical leaps and paranoid assumptions that fail to hold up under the slightest fact-based scrutiny.” Newsweek magazine’s coverage of the phenomenon is also extremely critical. The title says it all: “How the Storm Became the Biggest Fake News Story of 2018“. In March, the Comedy Central show The Opposition With Jordan Keppler poked fun at Q and The Storm. At the other end of the spectrum, Alex Jones firmly believes in the authenticity of Q. On December 24th he stated: “A lot of what QAnon has said, I had already gotten separately from my White House sources, my Pentagon sources, my CIA sources.” Liz Crokin, a journalist for TownHall.com has stated in an interview that she believes that Q might be Trump himself. “Now, I believe Q is President Trump, working possibly with Stephen Miller, to drop this information behind the scenes to get a campaign going, to red-pill people as to what is going on with The Storm, and their takedown of the Deep State, which includes the Deep State pedophile scene. I’ve been telling people for a very long time the stuff that goes on with these elitists, these occult elitists, who literally are raping, sacrificing children, drinking blood, like eating babies literally. It’s too hard for an average person that has no idea that any of this is going on to take it in all at once. So there’s been a very orchestrated effort behind the scenes by President Trump and his administration to slowly wake up the public as to what, that A), this goes on, that it’s real, and B), that they’re taking down these people. When there are mass arrests, and there are names like Hillary Clinton that pop up, or thrown in prison for sex trafficking, there’s not mass hysteria. People will realize, ‘Oh my gosh, maybe this is real,’ or like, this isn’t just some kind of coup or whatever, this is real and this is really going on.” In Conclusion While Q is an extremely polarizing figure, there are facts about the phenomenon that should be obvious to all. First, everything about Q is 100% pro-Trump and in full accord with Trump’s entire political agenda. From a PR perspective, it is an effective and innovative way of bolstering support for Trump while bypassing mass media. But is this all true? Is Trump truly taking down a network of globalist Satanists? Is this why 90% of the media coverage of Trump negative? Conversely, is The Storm actually a way of gaining the support of “truthers” while, in actuality, no storm is actually happening? Could it be the most elaborate LARP in human history, conducted by a brilliant troll? One thing is for sure: There is something profoundly messianic about the Q phenomenon. Prophecies of great tribulations and promises of delivering the world from Satan’s followers indeed take on epic, biblical proportions. Through “miraculous” tweets and pictures, Q has converted droves of skeptics into devout followers who are now believers and are ready to spread his word. Q himself adds to this mystique by often mentioning God and quoting the Lord’s Prayer. So, is Q the real deal? As he says himself, “truth always wins”. Only time will tell if his prophecies of a Final Judgement will come to pass or if he’ll end up being another false prophet.

The Second Amendment Was Written For Just This Purpose | Jack Mullen

The right of the citi­zens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered as the palladium of the liberties of a republic, since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers, and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them. – US vs Miller 1939 “No freeman shall ever be debarred the use of arms [within his own lands or tenements].”18 1 The Papers of Thomas Jefferson 344 (J. Boyd ed. 1950)). I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God. Oath of Allegiance It should be clear now, Americans have an obligation to arm themselves and prepare for the Civil War being fomented by an enemy whose allegiances are to a world government; a world government where they rule as tyrants over all people. The Framers of the US Constitution understood this would likely face Americans and America someday — That day has come. And be it further enacted, That whenever the laws of the United States shall be opposed or the execution thereof obstructed, in any state, by combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or by the powers vested in the marshals by this act, the same being notified to the President of the United States, by an associate justice or the district judge, it shall be lawful for the President of the United States to call forth the militia of such state to suppress such combinations, and to cause the laws to be duly executed. Militia Act 1792 America is facing a war on two fronts: enemies domestic and enemies foreign. It was no secret the founders provided the guarantee of the Second Amendment for the purpose of keeping their oath – “So Help Me God!.” Without the Second Amendment, none of the words of the Constitution would have any more force than tradition, courtesy and honesty. Currently tradition, courtesy and honesty have been attacked and are now in triage. In the words of the Former President and Buffoon George W. Bush: “Stop throwing the Constitution in my face! It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!” In the spirit of the psychopath explaining away inconsistencies in his life’s narrative, enemies, foreign and domestic, through the use of the captured mainstream media, try to convince the American people the Second Amendment is outdated and no longer necessary for any purpose including “hunting” (nothing about the second amendment was related to hunting) or self protection. Like manipulative narcissist, the enemy insists “if only” the people would give up their right to self protection, the Governments will faithfully protect them – and the nation, overall, will be a safer place. Using techniques developed for psychological torture, the enemy uses repetitive mantra with armies of human badgers agitating for more “gun control,” reinforced by false-fabricated-staged trauma inducing events, often perpetrated on children, in their attempt to bypass critical thinking internally and due process and the will of the people externally, for purposes of disarming the people. In the spirit of malignant narcissists or fully evolved psychopaths, the enemy telegraphs their intentions (projection) by the degree to which they are willing to terrorize children and the public at large to accomplish their goals. Psychopaths are not just identified by their lack of empathy, conscience and their ruthless, manipulative, single-minded, narcissistic and opportunistic ways but also by their almost total lack of application of “System 2” thinking. This means that they have a severe inability to deal with complexity, the welfare of others, or with any further effects of their actions beyond their immediate self-serving objective! 1 Because Americans face fear-causing, trauma inducing, psychological attacks every single day in the form of enemy controlled national and local news, passive aggressive advertising, and the agitation by enemy hostiles mercilessly pushing agendas, we have become emotionally overwhelmed, numb, with a lack of the time necessary to process the traumatic events. These are the tactics of psychological warfare Psychological Operations or PSYOP are planned operations to convey selected information and indicators to audiences to influence their emotions, motives, objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior of organizations, groups, and individuals. Used in all aspects of war, it is a weapon whose effectiveness is limited only by the ingenuity of the commander using it. A psychological warfare campaign is a war of the mind. Your primary weapons are sight and sound. PSYOP can be disseminated by face-to-face communication, audio visual means (television), audio media (radio or loudspeaker), visual media (leaflets, newspapers, books, magazines and/or posters). The weapon is not how its sent, but the message it carries and how that message affects the recipient. Major Ed Rouse (Ret) Psychological Operations/Warfare America is under-siege Enemies are operating from the inside, usurping positions of authority, creating de-facto government – while being funded from accomplices outside in the form of banking cartels (Central Banks) and the use of mercenary armies causing terrorism and regime changes abroad which is used as further psychological trauma aimed at Americans. America is being traumatized, and everyday pressure intensifies – the call to disarm get louder. It matters not that gun related violence in the USA is falling. It does not matter so-called “Assault Rifles”, the primary target of the disarmers, are involved in negligible gun violence each year; Less than 350 events involving “AR” rifles were reported in 2014. In a population of over 300 Million this number is just noise – negligible compared to other more egregious problems leading to premature death. Students Mobilized as Activist in a Cause they Do Not Understand. Recent marches by Students, agitating on behalf of professional disarmers, were organized by specialized political groups and individuals including ((((((Michael Bloomberg)))))) and his “Every Town For Gun Safety,” Gabriella Giffords, “Giffords” organization, George Soros Funded “Move On,” Planned Parenthood, the Women’s March LA, and the help of celebrities including ((((((Stephen Spielberg)))))), George Clooney, Oprah and others. ((((((Bloomberg)))))) tossing in $1 million and Giffords funding and arranging for students to come to the “March for Our Lives” from Florida. An article on the Canada Free Press website explains how the Disarm America agenda is organized and funded by Anti-American, dishonest, Zionists and Communists working to take down the last nation on Earth where the population is legally armed. From the Canada Free Press article Take Everytown, the noisiest and most dishonest anti-gun group on the scene. The one consistent thing about anti-gun groups is that that they are usually the opposite of what their name says they are. Everytown for Gun Safety was formed out of two other groups: Moms Demand Action and Mayors Against Illegal Guns. Both are actually front groups for (((((((((Michael Bloomberg))))))))), the lefty billionaire and former boss of the Big Apple, who used New York City resources to host at least one of its websites. So Everytown is really New York City. March for Our Lives is on every cable channel, but who runs it? The photogenic teen fronts are out front. But it’s obvious to everyone that a bunch of teens don’t have the resources and skills to coordinate a nationwide movement. Instead it’s the experienced activists who are actually running things. The March for Our Lives Fund is incorporated as a 501(c)(4). Donations to 501(c)(4) groups are not tax- deductible. And they don’t have to disclose donors. That’s why they’re a great dark money conduit. But the March for Our Lives website suggests that donors who want to make a tax-deductible donation should write a check to the “March For Our Lives—Everytown Support Fund”. How will (((((((((Bloomberg)))))))))’s organization provide support for the supposed student group? Why have two March for Our Lives Fund, one dark and one light? And why is one being routed through the godfather of the gun control lobby? The students being organized to “March For Our Lives,” have no idea they are being played as pawns in a serious game to disarm Americans. These students and the younger children used during the event for photo opportunities are being used as political tools to support agendas which they are not old enough to understand. Watch the video below to understand how subversive Neo Communist and Zionist in the media organize children into a polished production of very selective slogans in order to work the agenda to disarm America. Children being used by adults with large amounts of money, to be featured in this highly structured psychological operation. I think this is scary stuff — Something Americans are not used to and will have a hard time understanding the KGB propaganda used in this psyop. It is only because of the Second Amendment that I can write these words . In gun free (people forcible disarmed) nations like Venezuela, roaming death squads, likely supporting the political heirarchy currently in place, room the streets killing groups of people. In June of 2012 we see in the news from Venezuela: Venezuela has brought a new gun law into effect which bans the commercial sale of firearms and ammunition. Hugo Chavez’s government says the ultimate aim is to disarm all civilians, but his opponents say the police and government may not have the capacity or the will to enforce the new law. Criminal violence is set to be a major issue in presidential elections later in the year. 2 In 2018 we find in the Venezuela News Feed: A death squad in rural Venezuela gunned down 11 people in cold blood at dawn Saturday in an ongoing gang dispute. Victims were told to get out of their three respective houses in a town in the Trujillo state, and were then executed. The killers used a combination of shotguns and handguns to murder their targets. Three of the victims were minors, and one victim was from Colombia. The killings are reportedly retribution for an ongoing feud between rival gangs “Cagón” and “Los Cáscaras.” The gangs’ names respectively translate to “Frightened” and “The Fruit Peels.” 3 It is not just Venezuela, similar stories can be found around the world in places were the people were deliberately disarmed. In disarmed South Africa, their Constitution (just a “goddamned piece of paper”) was changed: The country’s constitution is now likely to be amended to allow for the confiscation of white-owned land without compensation, following a motion brought by radical Marxist opposition leader Julius Malema. On Wednesday, the South African Parliament voted in a landslide to forcibly seize farmland from white farm owners for redistribution to black South Africans. This comes after a 2017 audit that discovered nearly 72% of farmland in the nation was owned by white farmers. 4 In Europe, forced immigration has caused violence and rape in once peaceful white nations; Sweden now has Europe’s highest recorded rates of sexual assaults. But it’s not just rape – violent crimes are raging across Europe as immigrants from incompatible cultures are forced on the local populations. Those forcing the immigrants on the peoples of Europe are the same people working the “disarm America” movement in the USA. According to a Jewish Study Group Leader in Sweden, I think there is a resurgence of anti-Semitism because at this point in time Europe has not yet learned how to be multicultural. And I think we are going to be part of the throes of that transformation, which must take place. Europe is not going to be the monolithic societies they once were in the last century. Jews are going to be at the centre of that. It’s a huge transformation for Europe to make. They are now going into a multicultural mode and Jews will be resented because of our leading role. But without that leading role and without that transformation, Europe will not survive. 7 We have shown in previous articles that the main advocates, crusaders and agitators for disarming Americans are Jewish Groups. Checking the newsfeeds for violent crime in Europe we can easily find many articles The number of violent crimes and sex offences recorded by police in England and Wales has risen sharply over the past year, figures suggest. Knife crime and robbery also increased in the 12 months to September 2017 compared with the previous year, the Office for National Statistics said. About 5.3 million crimes were recorded in all in that 12-month period, up 14%. 5 Migrants may be responsible for most of a recent rise in violent crime in Germany, research commissioned by the government suggests. The study used data from Lower Saxony, a state where more than 90% of the rise was attributed to young male migrants. The researchers say the findings are not surprising because many migrants who arrived in Germany in recent years are single males aged 14-30. 6 Recently Former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens said in an op-ed piece, the Second Amendment should be repealed. Talking about the student “protesters” Stevens said “But the demonstrators should seek more effective and more lasting reform. They should demand a repeal of the Second Amendment.” 8 Stevens, a 98 year old Democrat, echoing the sentiments of tyrants through out history, continues to claim ” American citizens do not have the individual right to own a firearm for self-protection” Stevens, one of the dissenting votes during “District of Columbia vs Heller”, worked diligently toward disarming America by attempting to change the definition of the words “Bear Arms”, according to the majority opinion, … the meaning of “bear arms” that petition­ers and JUSTICE STEVENS propose is not even the (some­ times) idiomatic meaning. Rather, they manufacture a hybrid definition, whereby “bear arms” connotes the actual carrying of arms (and therefore is not really an idiom) but only in the service of an organized militia. Stevens is also a friend of Israel and the Jewish Agenda, and according to the THE NEW YORK JEWISH WEEK (April 14, 2010,) “Most of the Jewish groups closely tracking court decisions favor Stevens’ liberal record, with minor qualifications, and do not believe that President Obama will choose a replacement who deviates from the norm.” We understand there is a Jewish Agenda, in America, to disarm the American people. But wish to remind Israel and the multitudes of dual Citizen Israelis living in America, the United States was founded and built by European’s with a European culture and heritage. Further, Europeans are still the dominate racial group in America; America is not an Israeli satellite state. Jews wishing to be disarmed can move to any part of the world where being disarmed is not a matter of choice. But the USA is a European founded nation with European traditions and culture and a nation founded on the right of the Citizens to protect themselves at all times by being armed. Any one attempting to Usurp this law, like New Jersey or the State of Maryland through legal fiction labeled Statutes of Law are in violation of the Law and thus criminals. Americans are now and have been, since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Freeman, with the rights and the tools necessary to remain free codified in Law. “The right to bear arms has always been the dis­tinctive privilege of freemen. Aside from any neces­sity of self-protection to the person, it represents among all nations power coupled with the exercise of a certain jurisdiction. . . . [I]t was not necessary that the right to bear arms should be granted in the Constitu­tion, for it had always existed.” J. Ordronaux, Consti­tutional Legislation in the United States 241–242 (1891). Stevens’ can have his opinion, thanks to the First Amendment, but when the Second Amendment is ‘repealed’ all other Amendments will be honored when convenient or by courtesy, but not by Law, because Law becomes nothing but a ‘goddamned piece of paper’ in the eyes of fully evolved narcissists with deadly power. People who appreciate and wish to keep the protections against Government provided by the Constitution, including the Bill of Rights, must now understand the Constitution is just paper; the words of men now long gone. For this document to continue to protect and provide for Life, Liberty and Happiness, people must believe in the words and use them to find the moral courage to stand against the destruction of the American Republic. The founders’ found victory in their War for Liberty. It is now left to us to keep the fires of Liberty burning. The Second Amendment Was Written For Just This Purpose We leave the reader with a quote from “United States Versus Miller 307 U.S. 174”: “The importance of [the Second Amendment] will scarcely be doubted by any persons who have duly re­ flected upon the subject. The militia is the natural de­ fence of a free country against sudden foreign invasions, domestic insurrections, and domestic usurpations of power by rulers. It is against sound policy for a free people to keep up large military establishments and standing armies in time of peace, both from the enor­ mous expenses with which they are attended and the facile means which they afford to ambitious and un­ principled rulers to subvert the government, or tram­ple upon the rights of the people. The right of the citi­zens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered as the palladium of the liberties of a republic, since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers, and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them. And yet, though this truth would seem so clear, and the impor­tance of a well-regulated militia would seem so unde­niable, it cannot be disguised that, among the Ameri­can people, there is a growing indifference to any system of militia discipline, and a strong disposition, from a sense of its burdens, to be rid of all regulations. How it is practicable to keep the people duly armed without some organization, it is difficult to see. There is certainly no small danger that indifference may lead to disgust, and disgust to contempt; and thus gradually undermine all the protection intended by the clause of our national bill of rights.”

Israeli Stealth Fighters Fly Over Iran Amid Speculation Of Imminent War

by Tyler Durden Fri, 03/30/2018 - 05:24

One week after Israel demonstratively released a video of a 2007 airstrike on a suspected Syrian nuclear facility (after refusing to officially acknowledge the operation for more than a decade), the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida reported late on Thursday that 2 Israeli F-35 stealth fighters had entered Iranian airspace over the past month. Sources quoted in Al-Jarida said that two stealth fighters flew over Syrian and Iraqi airspace to reach Iran, and even targeted locations in the Iranian cities Bandar Abbas, Esfahan and Shiraz. Then the two ultra advanced fighter jets circled at high altitude above Persian Gulf - read Iranian - sites suspected of being associated with the Iranian nuclear program. Ominously, the Kuwaiti newspaper also reports that the two jets went undetected by radar, including the Russian radar system located in Syria. It was unclear if the provocative Israeli operation was undertaken in coordination with the US army, which recently conducted joint exercises with the IDF (recall "Top US General Says American Troops Should Be Ready To Die For Israel") The Kuwaiti report added that the seven F-35 fighters in active service in the Israel Air Force have conducted a number of missions in Syria and on the Lebanese-Syrian border, and highlighted that the fighter jets can travel from Israel to Iran twice without refueling. As the J-Post puts it, "the act is a signal of heightened regional tensions, especially in light of recent Israeli military attacks in Syria, including against Iranian bases in the country." Of course, Israel has had no qualms about admitting it launched about 100 air strikes on Syria over the past five years, targeting Hezbollah terrorists, weapons convoys and infrastructure, and it is believed to be behind dozens more. Things turned ugly in February when an Israel attempt to provoke Syria and Iran backfired: one month ago, Israeli F-16 fighter jets entered Syrian airspace, striking 12 Iranian targets in Syria in response to an Iranian drone that was shot down over Israel. Two Israeli crew members were wounded when they ejected from their jet before it crashed, which, according to Israel, was determined to be caused by pilot error. In response to the Iranian drone, a senior Israeli official quoted by the JPost warned that Israel will react with force to Iran's efforts to entrench itself further in Syria: "the Iranians are determined to continue to establish themselves in Syria, and the next incident is only a matter of time,” he said, warning that Israel does not rule out that that the Islamic Republic will continue to try to attack Israel. Meanwhile, if Israel is looking for a military conflict spark, whether legitimate or "false flag", it may get this opportunity as soon as tomorrow, when the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas is reportedly planning a mass demonstration along Israel's border on Friday, prompting fears of a new war with the Jewish state ahead of the Passover holiday, according to regional experts and U.S. officials who say they are closely monitoring the situation. According to the Washington Free Beacon, following a recent military exercise described by observers as "unprecedented," Hamas leaders called for some 100,000 Gaza Strip resident to engage in six weeks of mass demonstrations along the Israeli border as Jewish families gear up for the Passover holiday, which begins Friday evening. Regional experts closely tracking the situation say the demonstrations are meant as cover for a mass military campaign to swarm Israel's border and stoke violence against the Jewish state. The situation is being closely monitored by Trump administration officials, who outlined concerns that Hamas could use civilian protesters as human shields as cover for attacks on Israeli forces. State Department officials told the Washington Free Beacon that they are aware of the upcoming protests and will be tracking the situation closely. "We are aware of calls by Hamas asking people to march along the Israeli border over the coming weeks," one U.S. official told the Free Beacon." We will monitor the situation and developments closely." The State Department also emphasized that it still considers Hamas a terror group and is aware of its routine use of human shields during terror operations. "Our position on Hamas has not changed," the official said. "It is a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization. Any use of human shields is absolutely unacceptable." Omri Ceren, a managing director at The Israel Project, a D.C.-based organization that works on Middle East issues, warned that Hamas is using civilian protests as cover for a massive military operation that could launch another regional war. Evidence suggests Hamas has already prepared to flood Israel with armed assets during the demonstration and has even positioned equipment such as tractors to shift the ground and erect fortifications. "Hamas is trying to trigger a Passover War and the U.N. seems eager to help them," Ceren said. "Hamas is preparing thousands of civilians to rush Israel's border, tear down the defensive fence, and provide cover as Hamas fighters flood into Israel." While Israeli military officials have planned to use as little force as possible to control any violent eruption, things could get out of hand quickly, Ceren said. "The Israelis will do everything possible to prevent escalation and avoid casualties, but this is the kind of thing that could go really bad really quickly," he explained. Of course, the alternative is that Israel will be delighted by, and eagerly welcome any military escalation as it will give it a greenlight to strike not only Palestine, but the country it accuses of being the biggest supporter of Hamas, Iran. In other words, there is a non-trivial probability that a war betwen Israel and Iran may break out as soon as this weekend, catalyzed by one of several potential triggers.

The Hayward Fault in California is the most dangerous earthquake fault in the USA and the single most urbanized earthquake fault in the United States

By Strange Sounds - Mar 29, 2018

California’s Hayward Fault is considered one of the most dangerous seismological zones in the United States. It runs through the densely populated hills of the East Bay, sketching a diagonal line between San Jose and Richmond and can be thought of as a branch of the main trunk of the San Andreas. Technically speaking, the Hayward is a right-lateral strike-slip fault. This means that it shows its everyday action in the form of aseismic creep, the slow, steady sliding of land along the fault’s margin. The symptoms of this tectonic origami are visible across the region in cracked asphalt, off-kilter curbstones, and leaning walls. Every day, people drive on roads and hike on trails that crisscross the Hayward. Children attend a school and play soccer on fields that straddle it. All of which is to say that the Hayward cuts an uncanny transect through the lives of hundreds of thousands of Bay Area residents. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the average rate of creep on the Hayward is 4.6 millimetres per year or about the length of a standard black garden ant, or a quarter of a jelly bean. Not a big deal you think! But the engine of this movement is far to the south, in the Gulf of California, where the seabed along the margin of the Pacific and North American Plates is spreading apart, putting pressure, in turn, on the San Andreas Fault. The sliding poses a threat to the built environment, of course, but it also has a beneficial function. In one sense, creep is our enemy, since it can damage buildings and infrastructure. In another sense, creep is our friend, because it helps relieve the strain on fault lines. The big problem What makes the Hayward so concerning is that it is not creeping quickly enough. In theory, it should be slipping about ten millimetres a year, roughly twice its observed rate. Over time, the deficit mounts until the rock formations along the fault can no longer tolerate it. That distance has to be accommodated eventually by sudden land movement, which is an earthquake. Studies of pond sediments along the fault suggest that these large, strain-relieving tremors have happened regularly in the past. It has been calculated that they occur every hundred and forty or hundred and fifty years. The last one took place on October 21, 1868 – a hundred and forty-eight years ago – and caused significant damage. Dozens of buildings, including an eighteenth-century Spanish mission in Fremont, were destroyed, and a twenty-mile-long crack opened in the earth between Fremont and Oakland. Miraculously, only thirty people were killed, largely because the population of the Bay Area was about four per cent of its present-day size. Until 1906, when a magnitude-7.8 quake devastated San Francisco, the Hayward event was known across the region as “the big one.” Seismologists aren’t sure whether the Hayward’s current built-up tectonic stress will be relieved in one large tremor or a series of smaller, less damaging ones. But what seems certain is that a repeat of the 1868 event would be catastrophic, resulting in heavy damage to thousands of structures and likely causing hundreds of deaths. A Hayward-based company called Risk Management Solutions has estimated that a magnitude-7.0 quake would result in between ninety-five billion and a hundred and ninety billion dollars in damage to commercial and residential property. An earlier study by the Association of Bay Area Governments laid out a “nightmare” scenario, predicting the destruction of a hundred and fifty-five thousand housing units and the displacement of three hundred and sixty thousand people. The average amount of slip in the magnitude-7.0 quake scenarios is four feet – two hundred and sixty-five years’ worth of aseismic creep triggered in an instant. Is it right to call the Hayward Fault the most dangerous fault of the United States? Of course you have the San Andreas and its many subsidiaries in and around Los Angeles. You also have the Cascadia subduction zone, which, when it eventually ruptures, could produce a tsunami that would inundate swaths of the Pacific Northwest. But the threat of the East Bay faults are more immediate. Since 1906, enough strain has accumulated for a couple of magnitude-7.0 earthquakes. Whichever fault you pick, it’s just time.

Report: Israeli Stealth Fighters Fly Over Iran Undetected

Jim Hoft by Jim Hoft March 29, 2018

Two Israeli fighters reportedly flew over Iran undetected this past month. The Kuwaiti paper Aljarida reported this on Thursday. Jerusalem Post reported: Two Israeli F-35 fighter jets entered Iranian airspace over the past month, Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida reported on Thursday. The act is a signal of heightened regional tensions, especially in light of recent Israeli military attacks in Syria, including against Iranian bases in the country. Sources quoted in Al-Jarida stated that two stealth fighters flew over Syrian and Iraqi airspace to reach Iran, and even targeted locations in the Iranian cities Bandar Abbas, Esfahan and Shiraz. Here is the translated report from Aljarida News: In a move that reflects regional tensions and comes in the midst of information about a plan for a US and Israeli military strike in Syria that will include Iranian positions there or possibly infect Iran itself, Al-Jarida learned from an informed source that two highly advanced F35 fighter jets Iran this month. The source said that the fighters crossed Syrian airspace into Iraqi airspace, including to Iran, where they carried out reconnaissance missions and targets in the areas of Bandar Abbas, Isfahan and Shiraz, flying at a high altitude over other sites suspected of its relationship with Iran’s nuclear program on the Gulf coast. He pointed out that the two F35 (stealth) aircraft exceeded all radars in the region, including the Russian radars installed in Syria, but refused to disclose whether the operation in coordination with the American side, knowing that Israel and the United States carried out this month exercises cobra Jr.. The seven F35 fighter jets that have entered service in Israel, some of which have recently carried out air strikes in Syria and on the Lebanese-Syrian border, can fly nonstop twice a day in each direction from Israel to Iran.

New 'Currency' In Decimated Socialist Venezuela Is The Machete - Children Joining Gangs In Desperate Attempt To Survive As Shortage-Plagued Dystopia Is A Foreboding Message To America

By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die March 29, 2018

In this heartbreaking new story over at SHTFPlan by Mac Slavo he reports that hungry children in the failed socialist nation of Venezuela have taken to joining gangs to fight other children with sticks, knives and machete's with the prize of 'survival' on the line with the object of their fights something most Americans throw out in the garbage every day: scraps of food barely good enough to eat. As Slavo reports, the children in one particular 15-member gang, whose youngest member is only 10 years old, work together to survive vicious fights for what they consider 'quality garbage' that is tossed away in the few 'more affluent' areas still remaining in Venezuela, also scoping out restaurants for whatever they might throw away in the shortage-plagued dystopia that should be seen as a warning to America of our possible future should we continue along the path we're on. As this story over at the Miami Herald reports, once oil rich and exceedingly wealthy for South America with a health system envied across the region, the mass desertion of doctors who were able to leave combined with widespread corruption and medical shortages have decimated the country with highly contagious diseases spreading as chronic food and medicine shortages continue. And as the Herald story also reports, despite an outbreak of measles in Venezuela that has already spread to neighboring Brazil and Colombia, the Venezuelan government refuses to acknowledge the outbreak and thus refuses to do anything about it while the outbreak continues to spread. As another new heartbreaking story from the Miami Herald reports, these children are joining gangs because there isn't enough food for them in their homes nor communities. And so they form their own groups to protect each other, some of them coming from many miles away to join the gangs. From the Miami Herald story: Caramelo — who asked that the full names of the group’s members be withheld for fear that they will be targeted by police — has created a hierarchy within the Chacao gang. There’s an inner circle she calls the “small combo.” It includes her, Paola and seven other members who roam the city together to “recycle” black trash bags, meaning they search the bags for food and drink. Whatever they find, they share. The rest of the gang is left outside of the leadership circle for various reasons — violent behavior, keeping food to themselves or sometimes a personal dislike. But when it comes to defending their territory, all differences and antipathy are forgotten. Caramelo convenes all 15 members into the “big combo” to present a united front to gangs from different neighborhoods. That’s how Caramelo’s gang took control of Chacao even though many members don’t come from the neighborhood — including Caramelo, who was born and raised in Junquito, a Caracas neighborhood in the mountains about 10 miles away. A year ago, the gang was “stationed” around a supermarket at a mall called Centro Comercial Ciudad Tamanaco that generates tons of garbage. But a feared rival gang from the neighborhood Las Mercedes also wanted the garbage. Caramelo’s gang was attacked and chased out of the zone. So they took their weapons — knives, slingshots, broken glass and machetes — and seized the nearby neighborhood, Chacao. “At this point, we had enough members and we were organized. We pushed the other group out of here,” said gang member Patricio, 23, who added that the clashes with Las Mercedes group “toughened” them up. The reason for the violent takeover, which in gang slang is called a “change of government,” was simple and sad — Chacao’s many restaurants offer a better chance to find food in the garbage. With most children in Venezuela turned into hardened criminals before they reach adulthood just so they can survive into adulthood, in this recent story picked up by Zero Hedge which was originally published over at the Guardian they report that according to Stanford University professor Paul Ehrlich, the collapse of civilization is now a virtual certainty. While ANP hates to put potential dates upon future events that are out of our control, Ehrlich's prediction that this 'collapse' WILL happen, 'certainly within decades' according to him, might be coming to pass much sooner than even he expects. While we disagree with much of what Ehrlich argues, especially his 'solutions', we'll agree that humanity is now being 'driven over the edge' due to our "continuing destruction of the natural world that sustains all life on Earth". Warning that we are massively overconsuming natural products here while replacing them with synthetic chemicals, as Ehrlich warns, "there is an increasing toxification of the entire planet by synthetic chemicals that may be more dangerous to people and wildlife than 'climate change'" and we're seeing Ehrlich's warnings coming true in numerous stories about the mass deaths of animals happening all across the planet over recent years as meticulously kept track of by the End Times Blog. From the Guardian story: “Population growth, along with over-consumption per capita, is driving civilisation over the edge: billions of people are now hungry or micronutrient malnourished, and climate disruption is killing people.” “It is a near certainty in the next few decades, and the risk is increasing continually as long as perpetual growth of the human enterprise remains the goal of economic and political systems,” he says. “As I’ve said many times, ‘perpetual growth is the creed of the cancer cell’.” It is the combination of high population and high consumption by the rich that is destroying the natural world, he says. Research published by Ehrlich and colleagues in 2017 concluded that this is driving a sixth mass extinction of biodiversity, upon which civilisation depends for clean air, water and food. Yet we also see in the Guardian story the globalists 'solution' for this growing problem of massive overpopulation and overconsumption and it echoes what we see written in granite on the Georgia Guidestones. And while coming close to advocating outright genocide, he speaks many of the globalists 'talking points'. The solutions are tough, he says. “To start, make modern contraception and back-up abortion available to all and give women full equal rights, pay and opportunities with men. “I hope that would lead to a low enough total fertility rate that the needed shrinkage of population would follow. [But] it will take a very long time to humanely reduce total population to a size that is sustainable.” He estimates an optimum global population size at roughly 1.5 to two billion, “But the longer humanity pursues business as usual, the smaller the sustainable society is likely to prove to be. We’re continuously harvesting the low-hanging fruit, for example by driving fisheries stocks to extinction.” (ANP: Keep in mind there are over 7 billion living here now!) Ehrlich is also concerned about chemical pollution, which has already reached the most remote corners of the globe. “The evidence we have is that toxics reduce the intelligence of children, and members of the first heavily influenced generation are now adults.” While the 2016 population for Venezuela was 31 million people, the website Deagel.com forecasts 30 million people to be living there in 2025, an expected population drop off of only 1 million. And as we see in the other economic numbers being forecast for the failed socialist nation, Deagel is forecasting Venezuela will actually be doing a little bit better in 2025 than they are now. Yet with children fighting other children for food now, for Venezuela to fall even further by 2025 would be a complete catastrophe. Yet as we see and hear in the videos below, with the Venezuelan dictator Maduro quite literally using food as a weapon against his own people, much of the catastrophe we're already witnessing there is of their government's making. And as we've reported on ANP time and again, if Deagel's forecast numbers for America are correct, what we're seeing now in socialist Venezuela could be a look at 2025 America with Deagel showing America to be a 3rd world nation in less than 7 years. Forecasting 270 million fewer to be living here by then than were living here in 2016 and showing a forecast economy in complete shambles, should several hundred million Americans one day face the same plight as the people of Venezuela, there will be almost nothing that can stop the coming carnage. And there but for the Amazing Grace of God go we.

'Satan 2' nuclear missile again test-launched by Russia, as Putin brags of 'invulnerable' arsenal

By Greg Norman | Fox News

A new intercontinental ballistic missile hailed by Russian President Vladimir Putin as being able to fly over the North or South Poles and strike any target in the world reportedly was test-launched for the second time Friday. Russia’s defense ministry released a video purportedly showing the Sarmat ICBM blasting off in spectacular fashion from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in its northern Arkhangelsk province, the move coming just hours after the Kremlin announced it would expel 60 American diplomats and close the U.S. consulate in St. Petersburg in retaliation for U.S. measures taken in response to the poisoning of an ex-Russian spy and his daughter in Britain. The video shows the missile – dubbed “Satan 2” by NATO -- rising out of the ground and seemingly floating in the air for a brief moment before more flames erupt, kicking up massive clouds of smoke and snow. "No defense systems will be able to withstand it," Putin said about the missile during his state-of-the-nation speech in early March. The test-launch also comes after Putin’s recent re-election and a congratulatory phone call from President Trump -- in which Trump reportedly also warned his Russian counterpart, "if you want to have an arms race we can do that, but I'll win," according to two officials that spoke to NBC News. Days before the launch, the U.S. Navy test-fired its own ICBM from a ballistic missile submarine off the coast of Southern California. Russia has been working for years to develop a new ICBM to replace the Soviet-designed Voyevoda, the world's heaviest ICBM and known as "Satan" in the West. That ICBM carries 10 nuclear warheads, the Associated Press reported. Putin announced during his March speech the Sarmat missile was undergoing tests and debuted a video purportedly showing its first test launch, which he said happened in December. Putin said Sarmat weighs 220 tons and has a higher range than "Satan," allowing it to fly over both poles of the Earth. He also said it accelerates faster than its predecessor, making it harder for an enemy to intercept it in its most vulnerable phase after the launch. Putin added Sarmat also carries more -- and more powerful -- nuclear warheads than the "Satan" ICBM. Johnny Michael, a Pentagon spokesman, said Friday, “We did not receive any advance notice of this missile-related testing activity. I would defer you to the Russian Ministry of Defense to explain where an ejection test falls in the very early stages of the development of an ICBM missile program, and how far the item in question actually traveled.” Russian state-run news agency TASS has reported the Sarmat missile will go into mass production in 2020 and is expected to become operational the year after, according to EuroNews. "No one has listened to us. You listen to us now,” Putin boasted during the March speech, when he revealed other weapons his country apparently has in the works, such as an underwater drone armed with a nuclear warhead powerful enough to sweep away coastal facilities and aircraft carriers, and a nuclear-powered cruise missile that's "invulnerable to any existing or prospective air and missile defense systems.” The White House responded to Putin’s March 1 speech by saying he merely confirmed what the U.S. already knows: that Russia has been developing "destabilizing weapons systems for over a decade in direct violations of its treaty obligations." White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said President Trump understands the threats and that America is "moving forward to modernize our nuclear arsenal and ensure our capabilities are unmatched." Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White also said the Defense Department wasn't surprised by Putin's bluster, adding the U.S. military is prepared to defend the nation. "You will have to assess that new reality and become convinced that what I said today isn't a bluff," Putin had said. "It's not a bluff, trust me." He said the creation of the new weapons has made NATO's U.S.-led missile defense "useless," putting an end to what he described as years of Western efforts to sidetrack and weaken Russia. "I want to tell all those who have fueled the arms race over the last 15 years, sought to win unilateral advantages over Russia, introduced unlawful restrictions and sanctions aimed to contain our country's development: All what you wanted to impede with your policies has now happened," he said. "You have failed to contain Russia." State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said it was "unfortunate" to watch animation depicting "a nuclear attack on the United States" that accompanied Putin's speech, calling the video "cheesy" and adding "we don't think it's responsible." Another new weapon Putin unveiled during the state-of-the-nation speech, called Avangard, is an intercontinental hypersonic missile that would fly at 20 times the speed of sound and strike its targets "like a meteorite, like a fireball.” The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Leaked Texts Suggest Coordination Between Obama White House, CIA, FBI And Dems To Launch Trump-Russia Probe

Congressional investigators looking into the origins of Special Counsel Mueller's Russia probe believe they've found a smoking gun that could justify the appointment of a special counsel to investigate whether the Obama administration exerted undue influence over the FBI. A series of text messages between FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok and DOJ lawyer Lisa Page have revealed the involvement of Denis McDonough, Obama's chief of staff, John Brennan, Obama's CIA director, and former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in helping create an atmosphere of paranoia that gave them the political cover to launch the Russia probe back in the summer of 2016. The investigators who leaked the information to Fox said the texts between Strzok and Page "strongly" suggest coordination between the White House, two independent intelligence agencies, and a Democratic Congressional leader. That would "contradict" the Obama administration's claims of non-involvement. The texts tell of former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe being concerned with "information control," and suggest a plot to leak details of the FBI's incipient investigation to both the White House and Reid. Brennan also became involved in agitating for an investigation, though his agency was supposed to be operationally separate from the FBI. Page texted Strzok on Aug. 2, 2016, saying: "Make sure you can lawfully protect what you sign. Just thinking about congress, foia, etc. You probably know better than me." A text message from Strzok to Page on Aug. 3 described former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe as being concerned with "information control" related to the initial investigation into the Trump campaign. According to a report from the New York Times, Brennan was sent to Capitol Hill around the same time to brief members of Congress on the possibility of election interference. Days later, on Aug. 8, 2016, Strzok texted Page: "Internal joint cyber cd intel piece for D, scenesetter for McDonough brief, Trainor [head of FBI cyber division] directed all cyber info be pulled. I’d let Bill and Jim hammer it out first, though it would be best for D to have it before the Wed WH session." In the texts, "D" referred to FBI Director James Comey, and and "McDonough" referred to Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, the GOP investigators said. One of Fox's sources said the information was "concerning" enough to justify launching an independent probe into the FBI's role in launching the Trump investigation. "We are not making conclusions. What we are saying is that the timeline is concerning enough to warrant the appointment of an independent investigator to look at whether or not the Obama White House was involved [in the Trump-Russia investigation]," a GOP congressional source told Fox News. Naturally, coordination between political appointees at the White House and DOJ investigators would cast doubt on the entire Russia probe, Fox's sources said. The following day, Aug. 30, 2016, Strzok texted Page: "Here we go," sending a link to the Times report titled, "Harry Reid Cites Evidence of Russian Tampering in U.S. Vote and seeks FBI inquiry." The texts also detail the Bureau and Brennan's role in feeding information to Reid, which inspired him to write a letter to the FBI demanding an investigation be launched. That letter was later leaked to the press. The Reid letter, Fox said, provided political cover for the bureau when it tried to justify launching an investigation into Trump as early as July 2016. In other words, the FBI was well-versed in how to strategically use "leaks" to manage information control and wash its hands over any potential collusion allegations... with the exception of course of the texts that reveal how the plot was hatched in the first place. The question now is whether McCabe, who was fired two weeks ago, will be called in to testify on these stark allegations. One thing is for certain: The texts provide the clearest sign yet into the Obama administration's role in helping get the Russia probe off the ground in an attempt to roadblock Trump's administration, all the while Obama chose to do nothing about reports of Russian attempts at election interference. We imagine we'll hear more about this in the coming days.

Inspector General Targets Deep State FBI, DOJ Members On FISA Abuse Scandal As New Information Emerges

By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

There has been significant confusion about the March 28, 2018 announcement by the Department of Justice Office of Inspector General, informing the public that a review has been initiated into the actions of the FBI and DOJ in regards to their Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) applications for surveillance in regards to a "certain U.S. person." The announcement states the following: (Press release, one page PDF) Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz announced today that, in response to requests from the Attorney General and Members of Congress, the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) will initiate a review that will examine the Justice Department’s and the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) compliance with legal requirements, and with applicable DOJ and FBI policies and procedures, in applications filed with the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) relating to a certain U.S. person. As part of this examination, the OIG also will review information that was known to the DOJ and the FBI at the time the applications were filed from or about an alleged FBI confidential source. Additionally, the OIG will review the DOJ’s and FBI’s relationship and communications with the alleged source as they relate to the FISC applications. If circumstances warrant, the OIG will consider including other issues that may arise during the course of the review. DOJOIGREVIEWMARCH18.jpg One of the many questions I have seen, showing the confusion, came out as FISA was trending on social media, where a user asked "Ok, forgive me if I'm not up to speed, but I thought the OIG had been investigating the FISA issues for past year. So if it hasn't been FISA keeping him busy for over a year, what else has he been investigating?" The confusion seems to stem from the fact that the DOJ's OIG has been conducting an investigation for more than a year, which is believed to be concluded but the official report hasn't been released to the public yet, although much of what the Inspector General Michael Horowitz had uncovered in the course of his investigation, has seeped into the news, not due to leaks, but because senior level FBI and DOJ employees have been reassigned, been demoted, terminated and removed from Robert Mueller's team, after the IG notified the proper officials of the misdeeds and conflicts of interest he had uncovered. The first investigation, which many observers are waiting to see the finalized OIG report, had specific mandates that are unrelated to the FISA Abuse scandal where senior level officials in the FBI and DOJ used an unverified dossier as a basis to request surveillance on a U.S. citizen, Carter Page, who was once part of the Trump campaign. Congressional investigations have found that those FBI/DOJ officials did not inform the FISC that the dossier was paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the DNC, as well as not informing the FISC the dossier was largely unverified. The original investigation, which uncovered the FISA abuses, had nothing to do with that specific issue, but had five specific mandates the final report is reportedly going to address, shown below: etc.. In the course of multiple congressional investigations into Russian collusion, along with the IG's investigation into the conduct of the FBI and DOJ in relation to the Clinton private server/classified emails criminal investigation (shown above as the first bullet point referencing the dates of the three Comey statements on Hillary Clinton), other information arose during the course of those investigations, that have led to other areas in need of investigating FBI/DOJ misconduct, and to compile documentation so the DOJ has what it needs to determine what, if any, criminal charges need to be filed about the FISA abuses that have been revealed over the last few months. Simply put, in the course of the original investigation into alleged misconduct by the FBI/DOJ in regards to the the Clinton investigation, and former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe, evidence came to light showing some of the same players being involved in FISA abuses, some of which has been made public, but that wasn't the original mandate of the OIG's January 12, 2017 announcement of that review. Now a separate OIG investigation has been initiated specifically targeting the FISA abuses. Many would argue that a special counsel should be assigned to this task, but a persuasive counter-argument highlights how much information the OIG has already uncovered and exposed, without which the public would not even know about the FISA abuses, the text messages between Strzok and Page, McCabe's leaking to the press, or the part Bruce and Nellie Ohr played in the dossier fiasco, among other things, to make the case that the IG is uniquely positioned to conduct this new investigation into FISA abuses, rather than wasting tax payer money on someone that would have to start from scratch while building team and to catch up with information IG Horowitz is already very familiar with. WHAT TO EXPECT During the course of congressional testimony, senior officials, such as Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, often invoked the OIG investigation as the proper entity to conduct investigations into misconduct by department employees. Rosenstein told Representative Jim Jordan in December 2017 that the OIG had 500 employees and a $100 million budget, and admitted the text messages between FBI agent Peter Strzok and FBI Lawyer Lisa Page, which showed that before the 2016 presidential election, they were plotting an "insurance policy," (The Trump/Russia collusion investigation), among other highly suspicious actions, were uncovered during the course of the IG's initial investigation which began on January 12, 2017. With it already being public knowledge that the IG had over 1.2 million documents that he has compiled over the course of the original investigation, those observing and awaiting the final OIG report can expect a number of things once the report is released over the next few weeks. One: Depending on the level of misconduct detailed in the final OIG report, we should be seeing more reassignments, resignations and terminations. Two: The DOJ will be able to move forward on prosecuting anyone the Inspector General has determined acted in the criminal manner. Three: With over 1.2 million documents, hundreds of interviews already conducted for the first IG investigation, many of which already detail issues that "arose during the course of the review," which is now subject to its own investigation, and a huge increase of funding for the next fiscal year for the Office of Inspector General, this one should take a far shorter amount of time to complete. Four: Look for lower level intelligence community employees caught up in the IG investigation to start making deals with prosecutors, immunity for information on higher level officials within the intelligence community, or former members of the Obama administration. NEW INFORMATION COMES TO LIGHT New information has been exposed that shows it is not just the FBI and DOJ that were part of a interagency attempt to sabotage a newly elected president, as more text messages have been uncovered between Peter Strzok, who played key roles in both the Clinton investigation and initiating the Russia probe, and FBI lawyer Lisa Page, which shows that there was collusion and coordination between the CIA, FBI, the Obama White House and Democratic officials. Newly uncovered text messages between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page suggest a possible coordination between high-ranking officials at the Obama White House, CIA, FBI, Justice Department and former Senate Democratic leadership in the early stages of the investigation into alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, according to GOP congressional investigators on Wednesday. The investigators say the information provided to Fox News “strongly” suggests coordination between former President Barack Obama’s Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, then-Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, and CIA Director John Brennan — which they say would “contradict” the Obama administration’s public stance about its hand in the process. The timing of a new report is also interesting as we see that a Minnesota FBI agent has just been charged with leaking classified information to a news website, The Intercept. This is the second person charged with leaking classified information to the same publication. Remember, among the long list of things the DOJ has been investigating, they previously announced they had 27 ongoing leak investigations. LINING THE DUCKS UP IN A ROW At this point many are frustrated at the amount of time these investigations have taken, wondering why we haven't seen more people criminally charged, but the sheer scale of the Obama administration's politicization of multiple intelligence agencies, with the sole goal of creating an issue to undermine a newly elected president, is why the IG has spent over a year on the initial investigation. The twists and turns, the conspiracy, which looks to have encompassed dozens of officials, multiple intelligence agencies, and the former Senate minority leader, all the way up to the White House, is the reason there are over a million documents already compiled for just the first investigation. As The Last Refuse points out, months ago the mainstream media were declaring this type of unprecendent targeting of candidate from the opposing political party by a sitting president and his intelligence community, a "conspiracy theory," and now so much has been uncovered during the course of a supposedly unrelated investigation that it is now front page news. For criminal charges to be filed, it is not good enough to "see" the dots being connected with the publicly available information. DOJ prosecutors, using the IG report, are going to have to connect those dots with actionable evidence, enough evidence to obtain a conviction in a court of law, which is why they are carefully lining their ducks up in a row. Once Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election and all these implicated intelligence community members, current and former, realized that everything they had done, either with the Clinton investigation or the FISA abuses, could be exposed, does anyone really believe that Obama, his admin, or these deep state members, were just going to leave everything out in the open for the Trump appointees to find? BOTTOM LINE The new IG investigation announcement has caused a bit of confusion because many of the scandals involving Strzok, Page, Bruce and Nellie Ohr, Andrew McCabe and others, were revealed during the course of a separate and pre-existing OIG investigation. The fact that IG is officially focusing on the deep state shenanigans in regards to the unverified, Kremlin sourced Steele dossier, which was funded by Hillary Clinton and the DNC, being used without full disclosure to the FISC, to fraudulently obtain FISA warrants to surveil a member of the Trump campaign, brings us one step closer to seeing all their dirty laundry exposed to the light of day.

American service member is among the 2 dead in Syria bombing, officials say

An American was identified Friday as one of the two coalition troops killed yesterday by a roadside bomb in Syria, marking the first time this year a U.S. service member has been killed in action in the war-torn country, two U.S. officials told Fox News. It’s not immediately clear about the nationalities of the others killed and wounded. A statement from the U.S.-led coalition did not identify the exact location of the blast. A Syrian official had told The Associated Press earlier that a roadside bomb exploded in the mixed Arab-Kurdish town of Manbij. Mohammed Abu Adel, the head of the Manbij Military Council, an Arab-Kurdish US.-backed group in the town, said the bomb went off hundreds of yards away from a security headquarters that houses the council just before midnight on Thursday. The wounded personnel received immediate care and are being evacuated for further medical treatment. The names of the deceased will be released at the discretion of the pertinent national authorities. “The names of the deceased will be released at the discretion of the pertinent national authorities,” the statement read. The Associated Press and Fox News’ Lucas Tomlinson contributed to this report.

Venezuela fire: Relatives want answers after 68 die

29 March 2018

Relatives of 68 people who died when a fire broke out at a police station in the Venezuelan city of Valencia have demanded answers as to what happened. The blaze reportedly started after prisoners set fire to mattresses in an attempt to break out on Wednesday. The United Nations has called on the Venezuelan authorities to carry out a speedy investigation and to provide reparations to victims' families. The fire is one of the deadliest incidents in Venezuela's prisons. The office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights said in a statement that "where applicable" those responsible should be brought to justice. On Wednesday, anguished relatives had gathered in front of the police station demanding information about their loved ones. They were dispersed by police firing tear gas. Chief prosecutor Tarek William Saab said 66 men and two women, who had been visiting the cells overnight, were killed in the blaze. He also said that an investigation would be launched "immediately". Venezuela's worst prison tragedies: August 2017: A riot in police holding cells leaves 37 dead in Amazonas state March 2017: 14 bodies are found in a mass grave in a jail in Guarico state September 2015: A blaze in a prison in Tocuyito prison kills 17 January 2013: More than 60 inmates are killed in a prison riot in Barquisimeto What happened at the police station? The circumstances surrounding the fire have not been officially confirmed. The association Una Ventana a la Libertad (A Window on Freedom), which monitors jail conditions, said its reports showed a police officer had been shot in the leg by a detainee and that shortly afterwards mattresses in cells were set ablaze and the fire quickly spread. Mr Santander did confirm one police officer had been shot. Rescuers reportedly broke through walls to try to free those trapped by the blaze. Nearly all of those who died were inmates but at least two women who were visiting at the time were also killed, Mr Saab said. Some of the victims burned to death, others died of smoke inhalation. What has the response been? Angry relatives gathered outside the detention centre and clashed with police as they sought information about loved ones. Aida Parra, who said she had last seen her son the day before, told the Associated Press news agency: "I don't know if my son is dead or alive. They haven't told me anything." Dora Blanco told local media: "I am a desperate mother. My son has been here a week. They have not given any information." The government has set up an inquiry. Carabobo state governor Rafael Lacava expressed his condolences, adding: "A serious and profound investigation has been initiated to find the causes and those responsible for these regrettable events." What's the state of Venezuela's penal system? Facilities are notoriously overcrowded, with violence and deadly riots common. The country has struggled to accommodate its prisoners amid an ongoing economic crisis, leading to the use of temporary facilities such as the one in Valencia. 'De facto prisons' By Daniel García Marco, BBC Mundo, Caracas Many police stations in Venezuela are being used as de facto prisons. Their holding cells were built for 30 to 40 people but often hundreds are crammed inside awaiting trial or transfer to a proper jail. Detainees can sometimes spend years there. When I visited such a police station several months ago in Caracas, I saw dozens of men sharing a very small cell. Their relatives came twice a day to deliver them some food which the prisoners shared among themselves. Carlos Nieto of Una Ventana a la Libertad says that about 45,000 people are currently locked up in 500 police stations across the country. He says that a disaster like the one that happened in Valencia could "happen anytime, anywhere and [the next one] could even be worse". Inmates are supposed to be held for only 48 hours in police holding cells. Una Ventana a la Libertad says some police facilities are overfilled at five times their capacity. The organisation says that 65 people died last year in temporary cells due to violence, disease or malnutrition. Last month inmates at a different prison in Carabobo took a number of prisoners and guards hostage in another riot.

Ecuador cuts off Assange's outside communication

By Josh Delk - 03/28/18 01:43 PM EDT

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been cut off from accessing the internet inside London's Ecuadorian Embassy, where he has lived for over five years to avoid extradition. The Ecuadorian government said the embassy took the step in response to Assange's recent activity on social media, which it said violated his agreement not to interfere in the nation's relations with other countries. “The government of Ecuador warns that Assange’s behavior, through his messages on social networks, put at risk the country’s good relations with the United Kingdom, the other states of the European Union, and other nations,” a statement from the government says, the Guardian reported on Wednesday. Assange previously had his internet privileges suspended at the embassy over the site's release of hacked Democratic National Committee emails during the 2016 election. The U.S. intelligence community implicated WikiLeaks in Russia's efforts to meddle in the 2016 election, indicating "with high confidence" that the group got the hacked emails from the Kremlin. As of January, Assange is officially a citizen of the South American country. He was first offered asylum in the embassy by Ecuador's former President Rafael Correa. Assange's asylum prevented his extradition by British authorities to Sweden to answer for claims of sexual assault. Those charges against the WikiLeaks founder have been dropped, but he remains subject to arrest in the U.K. for skipping bail. He could also face potential charges in the U.S. over the publication of sensitive military intelligence first leaked by Chelsea Manning.

Huge 6.9 magnitude earthquake strikes off the coast Papua New Guinea

A 6.9 magnitude earthquake hit just off the coast of Papua New Guinea

Despite no immediate reports of casualties or damage, people fled buildings

Just weeks ago, at least 100 were killed and villages were buried after 7.5 quake

By Hannah Moore For Daily Mail Australia Published: 20:56 EDT, 29 March 2018 | Updated: 10:32 EDT, 30 March 2018

A 6.9 magnitude earthquake has struck off the coast of Papua New Guinea, triggering a tsunami warning for nearby coastlines. The quake struck at a depth of 10km, about 162 kilometres from the town of Rabaul on New Britain Island, about 7.25am on Friday. There have been no immediate reports of damage or casualties, though one hotel worker told Reuters her guests ran out of the building in fright. The tsunami warning was later called off. Little more than a month ago, the country suffered a lethal 7.5 magnitude earthquake. At least 100 people in the Enga province died in the quake on February 26, and massive landslides saw entire villages buried. The townspeople spent weeks trying to determine the damage caused by the quake, and are still struggling to get aid to the most remote and worst affected areas. Water supplies also took a hit on the country's main island after they were damaged by the tremors. Papua New Guinea is no stranger to earthquakes, as it sits on the 'ring of fire' in the Pacific Ocean. The Ring of Fire forms a horse-shoe shape and affects more than a dozen counties. About 90 per cent of the world's earthquakes, and 81 per cent of the largest earthquakes occur in this area. More to come.  Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5560927/Huge-6-6-magnitude-earthquake-strikes-coast-Papua-New-Guinea.html#ixzz5BL3tB8nk

Read Omnibus Bill- Surprising Little Nuggets Hidden In Mammoth Bill As President Trump Announces 'Build WALL Through Military'

- The Wall Is Now A Matter Of 'National Defense'

By Susan Duclos - All News Pipeline March 25, 2018

The one thing that liberals celebrating the 2,200+ Omnibus Bill just passed and signed by President Trump have in common with unhappy Trump supporters, is that no one celebrating or complaining has actually read the mammoth bill. It is bad, make no mistake, but the claims the mainstream media has managed to program into the minds of the public are also very misleading. The entire Omnibus bill is embedded at the bottom of the article, but we will be addressing some specific points from it below. OMNIBUS BILLS VERSUS FEDERAL BUDGET A federal budget is an itemized plan for the annual public expenditures of the United States, Via Investopedia: "Expenses made under the budget are classified as either mandatory or discretionary spending. Mandatory spending is stipulated by law and includes entitlement programs such as Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Such expenses are also known as permanent appropriations. Discretionary spending is spending which must be approved by individual appropriations bills...." Since 2009 Congress has appropriated funds to keep the government open with Continuing Resolutions and Omnibus bills rather than proper federal budget legislation. An Omnibus bill provides all discretionary funding for all of the 12 annual Appropriations bills that are required to fund the government, wrapping them all into one mammoth bill, while throwing in "pork," as backroom wheeling and dealing for votes for special pet projects and funding continues to be the subject of justified criticism. An Appropriation bill authorizes the expenditure of government funds and sets money aside for specific spending, with instructions/suggestions on how the money is to be spent, but actual distribution (spending the money congress appropriated) is done by the administration. APPROPRIATIONS AND PRESIDENTIAL SPENDING POWER Cited by Encyclopedia.com , Louis Fisher succinctly explains the process in the most understandable terms, stating "On the basis of the Constitution and traditional legislative prerogatives, Congress lays claim to exclusive control over the purse. Nevertheless, while it is up to Congress to appropriate funds, it is also true that the President and the executive branch enjoy considerable discretion as to how those funds are spent. Examples from both the Obama administration and the Trump administration clearly shows that despite Congressional "instruction" or suggestions, presidents enjoy considerable flexibility in interpreting those instructions. For example, in the Omnibus bill for 2012, when Congress attempted to block funds from being used to "advocate or promote gun control," he would not "construe these provisions as preventing me from fulfilling my constitutional responsibility to recommend to the Congress's consideration such measures as I shall judge necessary and expedient." Congress also attempted to bar Obama from using taxpayer dollars to pay for "salaries and expenses," of Obama's White House czars, to which Obama said could prevent him from "fulfilling my constitutional responsibilities, by denying me the assistance of senior advisers and by obstructing my supervision of executive branch officials in the execution of their statutory responsibilities." Obama then asserted "I have informed the Congress that I will interpret these provisions consistent with my constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed." (Source - The Hill, December 2011) Another example of presidential flexibility comes from August 2017 reports showing that despite Congress allocating funds for the State Department, some $80 billion, the Trump administration simply didn't "spend it," causing Sen. Ben Cardin of Maryland, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to complain "We've seen just too many instances these past few months ... where there is clear congressional intent and funds provided, yet an unwillingness or inability to act." Politico reported at the time that funds allocated by Congress for the Norwegian Refugee Council USA, which works with Population, Refugees and Migration bureau at the State Department and the Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance at USAID, was complaining they thought the Trump administration was slowing down the "disbursements of money." In the new Omnibus bill one of the small details that has largely been left out of the conversation is a portion of the bill that provides "cross agency funding flexibility." The omnibus also gives agencies some flexibility to transfer unused funds to use for broad, governmentwide initiatives. Specifically, the budget lets agency heads transfer or reimburse the General Services Administration any funds made available during the fiscal year or rebates from charge cards and other contracts to use in support of governmentwide IT modernization, procurement or financial projects, or management initiatives. Agencies must get approval from the Office of Management and Budget. GSA will administer the transfer. They’ll work with inter-agency organizations, such as the President’s Management Council, Chief Information Officers Council and Chief Human Capital Officers Council. Total funds for improving inter-agency coordination or reducing duplication can’t exceed $15 million, while total funds for government priority goals can’t exceed $17 million, the omnibus said. Congress has 15 days to reject these transfers. Otherwise, agencies can move forward with these transactions on their own. ADDRESSING SPECIFIC ITEMS Planned Parenthood: One of the most controversial items contained within the new Omnibus bill is the funding for Planned Parenthood, which is the largest abortion provider in the nation, but which also provides other services to low income areas. Abortion funding is specifically addressed in section 810, Page 639, where it states the following: SEC. 810. No funds available for obligation or expenditure by the District of Columbia government under any authority shall be expended for any abortion except where the life of the mother would be endangered if the fetus were carried to term or where the pregnancy is the result of an act of rape or incest. The Wall: Another complaint seen quite a bit across the internet is the claim that the border wall is not funded, but a look at provisions within the bill, in conjunction with President Trump's statement announcing his signature on the OmniBus bill, shows that the funds are there, and legally can be used to fund the entire wall, if Trump chooses to do so. In President Trump's statement, he included some very specific terminology in relation to the border wall, saying "I want to address the situation on border security, which I call national defense. I call it stopping drugs from pouring across our border. And I call it illegal immigration. It’s all of those things. But national defense is a very important two words, because by having a strong border system, including a wall, we are in a position militarily that is very advantageous......." CNN called it "odd" and "bizarro," but what Trump did was tie "the wall" in to "national defense," putting it directly under the Department of Defense (DoD) umbrella. The DoD itself received nearly $655 billion in the OmniBus bill, which has been touted in the mainstream media, but what hasn't been focused on is that the DoD was also given more "flexibility" and expanded the DoD’s reprogramming authority, where they can move funds from one account to another, with larger amounts being subject to congressional approval. One of the federal agencies that fall under the DoD is the Army Corps of Engineers, which includes approximately 37,000 civilians and military personnel, considered one of the "world's largest public engineering, design, and construction management agencies," as described by www.army.mil. In July 2017, the Army Corps of Engineers reportedly had already "begun preliminary preparations for the construction of segments of a wall in several places along the border with Mexico, According to NYT (Archive is link here), showing they were involved in the process. While President Trump's statement specifically highlighting the border wall as part of his "national defense" strategy, caused considerable chatter and speculation that he would use a portion of the DoD funding to build the wall, which is estimated to cost approximately $25 billion to complete, his statement on Sunday, pretty much turns that speculation into stated intent. Trump tweeted on March 25, 2018: "Because of the $700 & $716 Billion Dollars gotten to rebuild our Military, many jobs are created and our Military is again rich. Building a great Border Wall, with drugs (poison) and enemy combatants pouring into our Country, is all about National Defense. Build WALL through M!" So, while Democrats were dancing a little jig about only providing $1.6 billion for wall construction and limiting what those funds could be used for, specifically barring any of that $1.6 billion from building concrete barrier or construction of any of the wall prototypes President Trump has been considering , in the name of "national defense" the wall has just become part of military strategy to prevent "enemy combatants," from entering the United States. OIG FUNDED TO THE GILLS IN OMNIBUS As Stefan Stanford touched on in a previous article, the Office of Inspector General also saw a huge increase in funding, mentioned on pages 571, 573, 578, and 581, to the tune of nearly $300 million for a variety of functions, which may or may not indicate that the Inspector Generals across the nations federal agencies are expected to be very busy in 2018. Related: As Investigations Of Misconduct Mount, Can Hillary Clinton Avoid Jail? The DOJ OIG has spent over a year investigating the actions of the FBI/DOJ actions in the run up to the 2016 presidential election, with Inspector General Michael Horowitz expected to issue his final report within weeks, which is what multiple agency heads have publicly testified to be waiting for in order to determine if criminal charges needed to be filed. The IG investigation has already caused the termination, resignations, and reassignments of nearly a dozen senior level intelligence community employees. BOTTOM LINE Readers are encouraged to weed through the Omnibus bill embedded below and highlight portions they think are noteworthy in the comment section. While no one is calling this a "good" piece of legislation, there are hidden nuggets that promote and further the Trump agenda, and complaints, criticisms and praise is always more noteworthy when it comes after people inform themselves by reading the actual bill, rather than just going by what the media chooses to highlight. One thing we should all remember is that the media has set themselves up as an "opposition" party to President Trump and it has been their main goal for the last two years to turn Trump supporters against him and cause infighting among them, which is why much of the "good" contained within the bill, things Trump supporters would like, is not being reported by the MSM. Highlights of the omnibus bill can be found at the Committee Of Appropriations website.

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee joined Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures this morning. Nunes told Maria Bartiromo the only collusion his committee found in the 2016 election were the links between the Democratic Party and Clinton Campaign to Russia. Rep. Devin Nunes: We also found no collusion between the Trump campaign but we did find links between the Clinton [campaign] and the Democratic Party to the Russians… Fusion GPS was paid by the Democratic Party and the Clinton campaign to collude and interact with Russians to get dirt on President Trump.

Omnibus Bill: Trump Outsmarted The Deep State Again – The Wall is Being Built

March 26, 2018 Kelleigh Nelso

Republicans control the government, yet Congress still follows the Democrats’ playbook. Time and again, spending skyrockets, and conservatives are expected to fall in line to praise the party for making the big-spending status quo worse.Rand Paul Initial Reactions A caller into Rush Limbaugh’s show said he’d become a Never Trumper when Cruz dropped out, but a democrat neighbor, and his entire family told him Hillary was dangerous, vote for Trump. He said he’s not devastated by what President Trump signed, and that he had a lot of room left on his rope before he’d give up on President Trump. He said, “I was challenged, now I’m going to put that same challenge back out there to you. Stay with President Trump.” The majority of calls to Limbaugh were full of anger, disbelief and despair. The people felt betrayed. One caller said he was a democrat who voted for Trump. He wants Obamacare repealed, the border wall built and refugee and illegal immigration stopped. “The only one who can separate Trump voters from Trump is Trump, and he did it today,” said another. This budget was designed to end the Trump presidency and play right into the hands of the Deep State who hate him. But did it? This was a spending bill, not a budget bill. There is a difference, and Trump knows it! Omnibus v Budget Before everyone jumps off the Trump train over the spending bill, there are a few things you should know. From the beginnings of American history, lump sum appropriations have been a source of contention. Jeffersonian Republicans wanted legal restraints, while the Federalists wanted Executive discretion. We have today a mix of both: mandatory spending and discretionary spending. So, does the President have the ability to use the funds as he chooses? Yes, to a point. President Trump was not happy with the Omnibus Spending Bill of 2018 and voiced his displeasure up until he actually signed it at the last minute. He can’t take money from the Jordan Wall, for example to make his own wall, depending on where those monies are appropriated. But within the budget there are likely places where he can adjust the way the monies are spent, and that includes the military building the wall. Link Presidents can use their influence over any items that have been appropriated, depending on the agencies involved. Obama used his to influence spending in agencies that were advancing his agenda. In short, there is little information to tell us how appropriated money is actually spent, and in eight years we never found out what Obama did with the monies in his Omnibus bills, did we?! Link Congressional Betrayal Again All our President had to do to rally the American people who love and support him, was to veto the Omnibus bill and tell Congress to go back and rewrite it. His supporters would have been energized, they would have rallied for him and he could have filled the Congress with new conservative blood in November. But Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell stabbed Trump in the back this week, by giving Schumer and Pelosi everything they wanted. My initial reaction was outrage… People were asking me why the hell Trump didn’t send this pile of bull dung back to the Congress and shut down the government. We all emailed him and called the White House and said, “Veto this filthy thing.” Why didn’t he take this to the people? Why didn’t he talk to us? Why didn’t he listen to what we said? Why did he cave to Schumer and Pelosi? Why did he give McConnell and Ryan (neo-con Trotskyites) the satisfaction of signing this garbage? And don’t give me that old line of crap that he was threatened or his family was threatened, he knew taking this job was a big responsibility and could be dangerous. He could put his family in hiding, so get off that bandwagon. Watch his speech to the American people and look at his lack of exuberance regarding the promotion of this horrid bill. He hated it. The President’s Words Before you read my initial responses to this bill, watch this two minute video where Budget Director Mick Mulvaney gives us the facts. Trump needed nine Democrats to vote for the bill in order to get what he wanted, and the result is national security and restoring the military. Our military has been so decimated by eight years of Obama, putting us way behind both Russia and China. Trump had to have every dime, and had he vetoed this bill, the Congress would have cut defense spending, and that money could build the wall. The President said, “There are a lot of things that I’m unhappy about in this bill. There are a lot of things that we shouldn’t have had in this bill but we were in a sense forced if we want to build our military, we were forced to have.” Really Mr. President, why were you forced to sign this when you know you could have shoved it back in the face of the Congress and said, “NO!” You weren’t forced to do anything. “There are some things that we should have in the bill. But I say to Congress, I will never sign another bill like this again. I’m not gonna do it again. Nobody read it. It’s only hours old. Some people don’t even know — $1.3 trillion. It’s the second largest ever.” Again Mr. President, why did you sign something that is anathema to the campaign promises you made to your supporters? And why would you sign something none of your staff has even read. Let the government shut down before you sign a piece of legislation from the socialist democrats and the false friends on the right. “But in this case, it became so big because we need to take care of our military. And because the Democrats, who don’t believe in that, added things that they wanted in order to get their votes. We have to get rid of the filibuster rule and go to 51 votes in the Senate if we’re going to have really sustained, continued success.” Harry Reid got rid of the filibuster rule for the Dems, but haven’t you figured out yet that Senator McConnell isn’t there to help you even though you gave his wife, Elaine Chao the position of Transportation Secretary to butter up McConnell? And our active military got only a 2.4% raise, biggest since 2010. The Congress gets a 10% raise every year unless they vote against it. Yes, we do need a strong military, and decent pay for our soldiers. “DACA recipients have been treated extremely badly by the Democrats. We wanted to include DACA in this bill. We wanted to have ’em in this bill, 800,000 people, and actually it could even be more. The Democrats would not do it. They would not do it. To prevent the omnibus situation from ever happening again, I’m calling on Congress to give me a line-item veto for all government spending bills, and the Senate must end, they must end the filibuster rule and get down to work.” They’ll never give you a line item veto because they hate you and everything you stand for. And now your supporters feel abandoned and that you allowed the socialist left and the false friends on the right to dictate their demands in a budget bill that should have been loudly defeated and destroyed by you, the man we trust to Make America Great Again. DACA? Are you totally out of touch with the people who supported and elected you? Where the hell are you getting the idea that we want the DACA people to be amnestied? Do you have any idea of the cost of DACA’s to the American taxpayers? We do not want a deal on DACA, we know the criminality within this group and what it has already cost us. I will never sign a bill like this again. You shouldn’t have signed it to begin with Mr. President, but I understand why you had to. Check out the bill if you have time to wade through over 2,200 pages, which obviously wasn’t done by congress or the administration. Rand Paul voted against this monstrosity and he went through sections of it and tweeted parts of it. Ann Coulter immediately threw Trump under the bus forgetting that this rot was the product of the schemes of Ryan, McConnell, Pelosi and Schumer, all of whom are brothers in arms against our President. Ann may be right that Trump will never get another bill to sign because the Congress made it plain to the people that they don’t want to have a republican majority and they detest everything the President campaigned on. We need some new blood in the 34 vacated republican seats, true conservative blood. Put aside misplaced anger and help us get true conservatives in Congress. This is the key to getting rid of these greedy globalists who love personal enrichment more than our country. The Budget On Judge Jeanine’s show, Ann Coulter suggested Trump build the wall via the Seabees and take the monies from defense spending. Instead, let’s use the funds seized from drug cartels to build a grand wall! Rush Limbaugh stated, “This budget not only doesn’t fund his agenda, this budget makes it practically impossible for his agenda to be implemented, particularly on the primary thing that got him elected, which is dealing with the border and illegal immigration. Stop thinking of Congress as Republicans and Democrats. You’ve got to think of that as one unified group of people, establishmentarians who are working in a coordinated way to thwart and nullify the election and agenda of the Trump presidency.” But Rush, that’s under a budget bill, not a spending bill. Limbaugh explained some of what is in this monstrosity. It’s well worth the read, but remember Congress wrote this filth, and it is not a budget. Congress and Broken Promises Planned Parenthood receives approximately $500 million in taxpayer funding every year through Medicaid and Title X grants for family planning. The Omnibus Bill continues their funding. Sanctuary cities which are democratic strongholds will keep their funding. The bill denies President Donald Trump explicit authority to withhold federal grants from the Democratic-dominated “sanctuary cities” which are trying to secede from the nation’s immigration laws. Under a spending bill, Trump can slow walk these monies for things he wants in exchange. Schumer’s Gateway Project Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s Gateway Project, a massive tunnel, bridge, and infrastructure expansion project linking passenger rail service between Newark, NJ, and New York City, NY over President Trump’s southern border wall is in the current omnibus spending bill. As Paul Gosar (R-AZ) explains in this very important Breitbart article, this tunnel is an earmark. “This is an infrastructure process that should go through regular order. It shouldn’t be part of an omnibus bill. The American people spoke out loud and clear about a border wall.” New York and New Jersey aren’t even putting up any money on this. “National priorities such as funding for a southern border wall are being subverted by less important projects,” said Gosar. “This is nothing different than prioritizing earmarks. That’s strictly what’s going on here, is that it’s a negotiation with the Democrats.” “It’s a crap sandwich. The American public lost, and the Republican mantra lost. Why don’t we stand up, grow a spine, and negotiate, and make sure that we get something for something because that’s what the American people put us here for.” Again, Trump can hold this money hostage as leverage for his agenda. Build the Wall Like Rep. Gosar explained, border security was another campaign promise, and this bill screws us over big time. Neither party wants the wall. Why? Because most of them are globalists who want borders eliminated and our sovereignty destroyed. This budget “specifies that none of the budget and none of the construction may resemble the wall prototypes that the Border Patrol has been testing for the past few months.” The budget put together by the Republicans in the House of Representatives specifically states that whatever limited funds are used on fencing for 33 miles in Texas cannot “resemble” anything to do with “the border wall prototypes” that Trump went out and looked at the other day. Conclusion How many of you have heard that two Trump owned helicopters have crashed in the last nine months with Trump family members aboard? The enemies of freedom really don’t want this President or his family anywhere near our White House. They’ll do anything to destroy his presidency. The anger we all initially felt needs to be transferred to where it belongs, on our Congressional leaders, McConnell, Ryan, Schumer and Pelosi. And yes, I was angry when Trump signed this monstrosity because of the rot within it from the Congress and how little Trump received from his republican majority, and the likes of smirking Ryan and McConnell. I have had the weekend to think it through. So, what do we want? Do we want to kick Trump to the curb and go back to Obama, the Clintons, the Bushes or worse? Ais upset as we are over this bill, and as much as we wanted it vetoed, there is still no one better than Donald J. Trump as our President, and he has some discretionary funding! MAGA with Trump is our only hope. Pick up a copy of Ed Martin’s latest book, Can’t Trump This 2017 and remind yourself of what Trump saved us from in just his first year, including no Hillary! We have to get rid of the rot in Congress, and that means we have to fund and vote for true conservatives in our primaries. Kick the incumbents out, vote for no Democrats.

ROBOT WARS Russia could use robots to poison food for ‘untraceable’ AI assassinations in ‘chilling new Cold War’

Technology that hacks into a meal ordering system before tampering with the food could become a weapon of a Cold War future, says top computer science professor

By Nicola Stow 26th March 2018, 10:50 am Updated: 26th March 2018, 1:53 pm

RUSSIA could use robots to poison food for “untraceable” assassinations of state exiles, an expert has warned. Computer science professor Dr Jeremy Straub said technology that hacks into a meal-ordering system before tampering with the food could become a weapon of a “Cold War future”. Army officers remove the bench where Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were found in Salisbury. Future attacks could be 'untraceable', it's claimed The Kremlin and Britain are locked in a vicious stand-off after the poisoning of an ex-Russian spy with a nerve gas. Prime Minister Theresa May has pointed the finger of blame at Putin’s Russia for the attack on Sergei Skripal, 66, and his daughter, Yulia, 33. And future attacks on Russian exiles could be untraceable because of artificial intelligence, Dr Straub told the Daily Star Online. He said: “Certainly when you think about a robot, that (assassinating a target) would be something that a robot certainly could do. Dr Jeremy Straub said technology that hacks into a meal-ordering system before tampering with the food could become a weapon of a 'Cold War future' "But I think you'd see something far more subtle to the kind of approach that a human might use, where an AI might order something with an incorrect component. "For example, if it knew somebody had an allergy, perhaps it would get them some food with an allergy where it appears to be a kind of benign mistake, where in actuality it might be intentional. "That would be my guess as to the tactic taking place. In the US when you go into McDonald's there are these kiosks, where you can order food. Dr Straub said he believes Russia is heading towards a new Cold War, led by its use of AI. Russian President Vladimir Putin. Kremlin and Britain are locked in a vicious stand-off after the poisoning of Skripal and his daughter Yulia Prime Minister Theresa May has pointed the finger of blame at Putin’s Russia for the attack He explained: "Based upon what Putin has said it seems like that would be a strategy that Russia would use to the extent that they have the technology available. "Really the question there is what technologies does Russia have, ready at that time? "They are talking about developing it, but it's unclear if they have that stuff on the shelf. "I think certainly if they were to enter a Cold War, and fighting, they would use the technologies at their disposal and AI would certainly be a very strong technology for them to use." He added: "Russians have talked a lot about using AI and one quote, Putin said he saw AI as an equaliser between the US and Russia. "How he was basically going to overcome the US's order of magnitude of more defence spending using AI. "I think he certainly is looking for ways to use the technology now, whether any particular attack type would be employed is an open question.” Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, are still being treated in hospital, where they are both seriously ill.

US trade report lays bare Chinese government cyber-espionage

Report charges Chinese attacks service strategic objectives that are aligned with national industrial policies. Plausible deniability is maintained

By Bill Gertz March 26, 2018 10:55 AM (UTC+8)

China’s government is engaged in a systematic program of cyber attacks on American and foreign companies, according to a US government trade report made public last week. The cyber intrusions into corporate networks are one of four areas identified by the office of the US Trade Representative as unfair trading practices. These have prompted the administration of US President Donald Trump to impose tariffs on Chinese products in the coming weeks. The other areas outlined in the USTR report include restrictions on businesses operating in China designed to induce technology transfers, and systematic acquisitions of technology companies to obtain advanced commercial know-how. The report is the result of a special USTR investigation initiated last August. American officials say that in response to China’s unfair practices the Trump administration will seek to narrow the trade deficit between the countries by imposing tariffs on up to US$60 billion worth of still-to-be-identified Chinese goods. “It’s a very conservative estimate of harm, because it does not include one of the other four points of the USTR compass, which is the cyber theft,” said Peter Navarro, White House director for trade and industrial policy and a key architect of the new tariffs. He added: “Estimates of the losses of cyber theft alone are in the hundreds of billions of dollars.” On cyber attacks, the 215-page report states that for over a decade “the Chinese government has conducted and supported cyber intrusions into US commercial networks targeting confidential business information held by US firms.” It adds that: “Through these cyber intrusions, China’s government has gained unauthorized access to a wide range of commercially-valuable business information, including trade secrets, technical data, negotiating positions, and sensitive and proprietary internal communications.” The report concludes that the cyber intrusions and information exfiltration poses “a grave threat” to the economy and competitiveness of the US. This is the first time the US government has called out the Chinese government for its cyber activities, despite intrusions that have grown in scale and sophistication since at least 2008. The report charges Chinese cyber attacks service strategic objectives that are aligned with national industrial policies. As part of its overall strategy, the Chinese government denies any role in the attacks. “As the global economy has increased its dependence on information systems in recent years, cyber theft became one of China’s preferred methods of collecting commercial information because of its logistical advantages and plausible deniability,” the report says. The Chinese cyber thefts have continued despite an agreement reached in 2015 between Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Barack Obama to curtail government-sponsored cyber espionage. The report concludes that in contravention of the agreement “the evidence indicates that China continues its policy and practice, spanning more than a decade, of using cyber intrusions to target US firms to access their sensitive commercial information and trade secrets.” Chinese cyber targeting has included harvesting sensitive corporate secrets from oil and gas companies. China’s military, the People’s Liberation Army, is aggressively engaged in the cyber economic espionage effort. For example, the PLA’s General Staff Third Department, known as 3PLA, operates Unit 61398, which was first revealed in 2013 as a major cyber information collector. The secret unit, located in an office building in Shanghai, is staffed by hundreds or perhaps thousands of cyber technicians. The report notes that several private security companies have linked China to most of the thousands of cyber intrusions detected annually. 3PLA, for example, is linked to data stolen from at least 141 organizations around the world in 20 different business sectors, including aerospace, information technology, and satellites and telecommunications. The report for the first time identifies five Chinese hackers indicted by a US federal grand jury in May 2014 as having been part of 3PLA’s Second Bureau, which directs Unit 61398. One of their targets was the computer networks of Westinghouse Electric Company, which were hit by major cyber attacks that netted 3PLA 1.4 gigabytes of data – around 700,000 pages of email messages and attachments. The data included trade secrets, technical and design specifications and sensitive emails from senior company officials. The report notes that during the period of the thefts – December 2010 to January 2011 – Westinghouse was building four of its AP1000 power plants in China and was negotiating terms for construction, including making technology transfers to China’s State Nuclear Power Technology Corporation (SNPTC). “At the same time, a 3PLA actor stole confidential and proprietary technical and design specifications for pipes, pipe supports, and pipe routing within the AP1000 plant buildings,” the report says. “The stolen trade secrets and technical information would permit a competitor to build a power plant without having to invest in associated research and development costs that had been borne by Westinghouse in the past.” Moreover, at the same time in 2010 and 2011 that Westinghouse was conducting other business ventures with SNPTC, a 3PLA cyber attacker stole sensitive e-mails from senior officials at Westinghouse who were engaged in talks with the Chinese nuclear power entity. The decision-makers were responsible for the company’s business relationship with SNPTC. In January 2011, as 3PLA was infiltrating Westinghouse’s servers and exfiltrating its information, Westinghouse announced the signing of two agreements with SNPTC, the report notes. The use of 3PLA for economic cyber espionage is part of what the report says is a policy of “military-civil fusion” programs that involve China sharing resources between science and technology entities and the PLA. “Indeed, the US government has evidence that the Chinese government provides competitive intelligence through cyber intrusions to Chinese state-owned enterprises through a process that includes a formal request and feedback loop, as well as a mechanism for information exchange via a classified communication system,” the report says. An example is the China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), a state-owned enterprise that tasked Chinese intelligence services with collecting intelligence on several US oil and gas companies and on US shale gas technology. This tasking was detected in January 2012 during commercial negotiations between a US company, CNOOC and China’s Ministry of Agriculture, regarding oil leaks that had occurred at a facility jointly owned and operated by the company and CNOOC in June 2011. According to the report, Chinese intelligence provided CNOOC with information ahead of and during the talks with the US company, including internal company information on the company’s negotiating position. The PLA-CNOOC intelligence sharing was approved by Maj. Gen. Liu Xiaobei, 3PLA’s political commissar, the report says. In a second case, 3PLA operatives provided CNOOC with information on five American oil and gas companies, including data on company operations, development of shale gas technology and lab procedures, fracking technology and fracking formulae. A recent case of Chinese cyber espionage involved a front company posing as a cyber security firm called the Guangzhou Bo Yu Information Technology Co. Ltd., or Boyusec. Three Chinese nationals from Boyusec were indicted for cyber thefts against American companies, including Moody’s Analytics, Siemens AG, and Trimble Inc. Boyusec has been linked by US intelligence agencies to the Ministry of State Security, China’s civilian intelligence services. The trade report rejects the claims of critics who say American cyber practices are similar to those of 3PLA and the MSS. “China’s cyber intrusions are unique from those of Western market economies because the intrusions occur within the framework of China’s extensive state-driven economic development model, which has no parallel in Western market economies,” the report says. The report concludes that “Beijing’s cyberespionage against US companies persists and continues to evolve.” “The US Intelligence Community judges that Chinese state-sponsored cyber operators continue to support Beijing’s strategic development goals, including its S&T advancement, military modernization, and economic development,” the report says.

What Was the 'Crime' of Jesus That Got Him Crucified?

By Jerry Newcombe , CP Op-Ed Contributor | Mar 25, 2018 8:05 AM

Another Holy Week is upon us, beginning with Palm Sunday and culminating with Easter Sunday. It was "the week that changed the world." The week began in a humble, triumphant sort of way. That may seem like an oxymoron. Jesus was hailed as a king, but rode in on a donkey---a humble way to begin His public entry into Jerusalem. Of course, He was fulfilling what Zechariah the prophet had foretold about 700 years before. Dr. Paul L. Maier is a professor of ancient history emeritus from Western Michigan University. He is a terrific scholar on all things related to Jesus and the Gospels. In his 1997 book, In the Fullness of Time, Maier writes of Jesus' entry into the Holy City on the eve of the Passover on that very first Palm Sunday: the donkey "was the common beast of burden of the time, in contrast to the superior horse of gilded chariot used in Roman triumphs." The city was bustling and filled with people. Dr. D. James Kennedy notes this: "Josephus tells us that there were over three million pilgrims that visited the city on this occasion. 256,000 lambs were slain for the Passover." Of course, the climax of Jesus' entry was His death (on Passover) and resurrection. Why was Jesus crucified? What crime did He allegedly commit? Crucifixion was a horrible way to die. It was so bad that no Roman citizen could be crucified. It was an execution reserved for slaves and bandits. How amazing then that the Son of God become man would allow Himself to be so degraded by people whom He Himself had created. Crucifixion was invented in the Near East and perfected by the Romans. It was not uncommon for a crucified victim to suffer for days. Pontius Pilate was surprised Jesus had died in only a few hours---however, He had been scourged so horribly that He could have bled to death, had He been released after the whipping. The crucified victim had the crime he committed posted above his head. Crucifixion was like a living billboard---do what this fellow did and you too could end up like this. In the case of Jesus, we've all seen the crucifixes with INRI above His head. This stands for Iesus Nazarenvs Rex Ivdaeorvm, Latin for Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews, as recorded in John's Gospel. His "crime" was claiming to be a king, a treasonous act in ancient Rome. In a television interview I once conducted with Dr. Paul Maier, he noted that there were three phases of Roman history, beginning with the Monarchy from 753 to 509 B.C. The next stage was the Republic from 509 to 30 B.C. And then there was the Roman Empire from 30 B.C. to 476. Commenting on that first phase, Maier told me, "The first seven kings of Rome ended in a real tyrant. His name was Tarquin the Proud, and they didn't want another king throughout their history." Thus, after 509 B.C., the Romans eschewed the title "king" [rex] thereafter, despite having emperors who were far more powerful than any earthly king. Thus, Jesus' claim to be the King of the Jews was His death sentence. Maier adds "[Rex] was a term of opprobrium. It was somebody who was trying to subvert the masses.... And that is the charge that the prosecution made, which really turned the case as far as Pontius Pilate was concerned." It's a tragic fact that in 2000 years of Christian history, there have been anti-Semitic professing Christians who blamed the Jews for the crucifixion of Jesus. But the fact is that Jesus laid down His life as fully God and fully man, who alone fulfilled the Ten Commandments, on behalf of sinners---so that those who believe in Him might be saved. As Jesus Himself said, "I lay down my life that I may take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again" (John 10:17-18). If there were any "crime" committed for which Jesus was dying, it was the crime committed by sinful people against our holy Creator. Christians believe that Jesus is the King, whose kingdom was foretold by Daniel the prophet about 500 years before He came, who said that in the "days of those kings"---which kings? The Roman kings---the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will smite the Roman Empire. It begins as a small stone but that stone goes on to become a mountain that fills the whole earth. Christianity began very small, but has grown to where about one-third of humanity claims to be Christian. And so during this Holy Week, Christians celebrate the coming 2000 years ago of the King, who came the first time in humility, who will one day ride a white horse as the conquering King of kings and Lord of lords.

64 dead in Russia shopping mall fire: Alarms were silent, emergency exits blocked

By Associated Press | By NATALIYA VASILYEVA

PUBLISHED: March 26, 2018 at 5:58 am | UPDATED: March 26, 2018 at 6:21 am

MOSCOW — With the fire alarms silent and staff reportedly nowhere to be seen, a fire at a shopping mall packed with children and their parents on the first weekend of the school recess killed 64 people in Russia’s Siberia. The fire at the Winter Cherry mall in Kemerovo, a city about 1,900 miles east of Moscow, was extinguished by Monday morning after burning through the night. Firefighters were still recovering bodies as parts of the buildings were still smoldering. Some of the dead were found inside a cinema, which one witness said had been locked shut. Investigators said Monday that emergency exits were blocked and a security guard turned off the public announcement system when he received a call about the blaze. Four people have been detained in connection with the deadly, fire including one of the mall’s tenants. The investigators did not give the cause of the fire but said they have obtained evidence proving “flagrant violations” that could have contributed to the heavy loss of life, including the fact that the fire escapes were blocked. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Monday it was too early to draw conclusions about whether local officials failed in Kemerovo. Witness testimony indicated that the fire alarm did not go off and that staff did not arrange for the evacuation at the shopping mall, which was converted from a former confectionery factory in 2013. Winter Cherry was one of Kemerovo’s most popular entertainment centers for children, with its own indoor skating rink, petting zoo and trampolines. Kemerovo residents said the mall was packed with children and their parents. The Ekho Mosvky radio station on Monday quoted witnesses who said the fire alarm did not go off and that the mall’s staff did not organize the evacuation. Anna Zarechneva who was on the top floor where the fire started, watching a movie with her husband and son, said they only found out about the fire when a man ran into the theater shouting. “We didn’t hear the fire alarm, they even didn’t turn on the light during the show,” she said. “That movie could have been the last for us, I’ve only just realized that.” Alexander Lillevyali lost three daughters, 11-year-old twins and a 5-year-old, who were in a cinema hall on the top floor watching a cartoon. Lillevyali told the Meduza news website that one of his daughters called him, saying that they could smell the smoke but could not get out because the door was locked. “I was shouting into the phone, telling her to get out but there was nothing I could do — the fire was in front of me,” he said. The Prosecutor General’s Office on Monday ordered all shopping malls in Russia to be checked for fire safety features. Russian companies routinely complain about excessive checks from various government agencies, which often abuse elaborate rules and regulations to pressure businesses. As a result, many companies prefer to pay bribes instead of complying with outdated and excessive regulations, including fire safety rules.

Israeli Planes Hit Hezbollah Positions Along Syrian Border

By Rick Moran March 25, 2018

Israel's undeclared and clandestine war against the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah erupted again today as IAF planes hit several Hezbollah positions along the Syrian-Lebanese border. Hezbollah denies that Israel attacked them. The IDF had no comment. But several Arab media outlets are reporting the strike occurred and residents of Baalbek, a strategic Lebanese hamlet on the Syrian border, are saying they saw the planes and heard the explosions. 24 News: Hezbollah, the Iran-backed Shia group, denied the reports that Israel struck its positions and media outlets associated with the group said that no such strikes occurred. Israel has not yet commented on the report and is unlikely to do so. According to usual protocol it does not disclose information about airstrikes in foreign countries. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has prioritized the northern border as its greatest current threat, referring both to Hezbollah in Lebanon and Iranian proxies on the Syrian border, which carries the danger of a united front against the Jewish state. Hezbollah is said to have accumulated an arsenal of some 100,000 and 120,000 short- and medium-range missiles and rockets, as well as several hundred long-range missiles targeting Israel. Speaking in an interview with Reuters news agency last week, Deputy Leader of Hezbollah Sheikh Naim Qassem said that, despite rising tensions on the border, war with Israel was "not imminent.” The choice of Baalbek as a target is significant. Baalbek is in the Bekaa Valley, a Hezbollah stronghold, and is a key staging area for Hezbollah militia fighting to preserve the regime of Bashar Assad. Why doesn't Hezbollah admit that Israeli planes bombed them? An election is coming up in Lebanon and it would make little political sense to admit the enemy just cleaned your clock. Hezbollah is promoted as an invincible foe of Israel. It wouldn't do their electoral chances any good if they admit the Israelis exposed that notion as a sham. Beyond that, if you don't admit you've been attacked, it didn't happen. And that's the nature of this undeclared war between Israel and Hezbollah. Neither side wants to admit they are at war, but Israel is determined not to allow Hezbollah to set up a united front with the Syrians along the Israeli border. The attack on Baalbek was a reminder to Hezbollah not to get too comfortable and that they are being watched.

Saturday’s Talking Points

Posted March 25th, 2018 at 11:09 AM (CST) by Bill Holter & filed under General Editorial.

MSM: They write the headlines, therefore the truth doesn’t matter!

Most recent examples are the articles which state Trump called Putin to congratulate him on his “win” but doesn’t call him out on his high vote count? or, his election rigging in 2016 in the US? or, the poisoning of the spy? Can you fit more BS on the front page of the NYT? YES! Remember these from 2003? 1. The Iraq war has been going on for 15 years. How did that work out? Colin Powell said it would be 5 days, 5 weeks, at most…5 months. 2. Judith “Yellow Cake” Miller. 3. Cheney, “They will erupt with joy”! 4. Donald Rumsfeld, “The war will pay for itself”. 5. John Bolton in 2002, “We are confident that Saddam Hussein has hidden weapons of mass destruction and production facilities in Iraq”. 6. Remember George Bush landing on air craft carrier saying “mission accomplished”? Why would we trust anything they say? All the above turned out to be LIES! This Tweet 3:41 PM – Sep 5, 2013 from Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump “All former Bush administration officials should have zero standing on Syria. Iraq was a waste of blood & treasure. I ask, why did Donald flip flop? Does the Deep State own him? Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said Tuesday, during an appearance on The Laura Ingraham Show podcast, that the term “Deep State” accurately describes how an un-elected bureaucracy of national security officials in positions of power exert influence without Congressional oversight. Rand Paul is out this week saying the Deep State does exist. George Bush 1, Clinton, Clinton, George Bush 2, George Bush 2, Obama, Obama, Trump any change? China trade war indicates that real war is it about to happen… China can pressure the US in other areas of bilateral cooperation, for example, the Korean Peninsula issue and Iran nuclear issue. China can also set itself against the US in international organizations such as the UN. In addition, China needs to move fast to establish diplomatic ties with allies of Taiwan to further squeeze the island’s space in the international community. At the end of the piece, the writer dropped the mother of all bombshells, “Mainland [China] must prepare itself for a direct military clash in the Taiwan Straits” Today, we have high school kids having a nationwide protest against Guns. They have been so dumb-ed down by the public education system they don’t understand that the 2nd Amendment was put in place to save their sorry little asses from the Government! Schools are gun safe zones, so I could leave it home, or be a felon. What do you do? Citibank sets limits for clients involved in arms manufacturing and sales. “Arms”, is that like the “Arms” deal to the 32 year old Prince from Saudi Arabia “The Donald” showcased? Arms my ass! Why does the public fall for the same BS over and over, be it war or stock market and housing bubbles. They never seem to learn! Are they stupid? It seems so simple… wash, rinse, repeat! If Wall Street is so smart, how did Theranos / Miss Holmes get a value in the billions on a total scam, when miners sitting on known and proven reserves of Gold, a real asset for over thousands of years, get no interest? Gold and Silver: How much is there above-ground, and where is it? How much gold is below-ground, and where is it? How is it that in 2011, Gold was at $1,900, and now, with the world money printing 10 times more out of control than anyone ever thought it was, is only at $1,350 ? Was it over priced in 2011 or is it WAY under priced now? The Silver to Gold ratio at 81 to 1. How is that possible based on history? Could it be rigged? Could Russia be about to use it to back their currency ? In 2005, Russia was the richest country in gold reserves. Russia has the largest land mass on the planet. Do the Neo-Cons want to steal it again? The US sails in South China Sea yesterday. The official press out of China says they will go to war over Taiwan. Monday is D-day. Let’s see what it brings?????????????

US and 18 Other Countries Expel Russian Diplomats; Ambassador says Relations with the USA are "Destroyed" Congress gets "EMERGENCY BRIEFING" as talk of war

Category: World News Monday, 26 March 2018 10:25

President Donald Trump has expelled 60 Russian Diplomatic staff and ordered the closing of the Russian Consulate in Seattle, claiming it is an Espionage risk to Boeing and the US Naval Base in Bremerton, WA. Thirteen Fourteen FIFTEEN SEVENTEEN EIGHTEEN other countries have also announced the expulsion of Russian Diplomatic staff. The Russians now characterize the situation as being "in a state of confrontation with the west" and the Russian Ambassador to the US saying relations are "destroyed." Estonia has expelled the Russian Defense Attache'. Ukraine has expelled 13 Russian Diplomatic staff. The Netherlands says it is expelling two Russian Diplomatic staff with more to follow. The Czech Republic says it is downgrading the Russian Embassy and expelling 3 Russians. Lithuania is beginning Embassy expulsions and is banning 44 Russians from their country. Latvia is expelling a key Russia Diplomat and looking into further Sanctions. Denmark is expelling 2 Russian Diplomats. France has expelled four Senior Russians . Germany has announced the expulsion of four Russian Diplomats. Poland has expelled 4 Russians. Italy has expelled 2 Russians. Denmark has expelled 2 Russians. Canada has expelled 4 Russians. Romania has expelled 1 Russian. Finland has expelled 1 Russian.

IN RESPONSE, RUSSIA ANNOUNCES EXPULSION OF A MINIMUM OF 60 AMERICANS FROM THE MOSCOW EMBASSY - ANNOUNCES DESTRUCTION OF RELATIONS WITH THE USA 12 RUSSIANS EXPELLED FROM THE UNITED NATIONS - USA SAYS THAT THEY WERE INTELLIGENCE OFFICERS ENGAGED IN ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR TO WASHINGTON EXPELLED RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR SAYS USA ONLY UNDERSTANDS FORCE AND WILL BE RECEIVING A GIFt All of this is due to the ALLEGED use of a nerve agent against a former Soviet era spy in side Britain in violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention. The problem with this claim is that the alleged Nerve agent was officially destroyed by Russia under UN supervision decades ago. Britain has thus far FAILED to provide samples of the evidence to Russia for analysis, and it turns out that there is a facility in Britain, eight miles from where the spy was poisoned, that manufactures the same - or similar - nerve agent. Russia says Britain did this to itself as a "false flag" against Russia and is refusing to provide samples because such samples would prove the nerve agent was made in Britain! It APPEARS at this time, that the British "nerve agent" poisoning, is a FALSE FLAG EVENT designed to start a war with Russia - and they are APPARENTLY moving toward that exact goal based upon this deliberate fraud. UPDATE 10:31 AM EDT -- RUSSIA SAYS "THIS AMOUNTS TO A DELIBERATE CONFRONTATION AND WILL BE ANSWERED" - RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT CROATIA EXPELLING DIPLOMAT Hungary to expel Lead Russian Diplomat Spain to expel 2 Russians UH OH . . . US CONGRESS BEING GIVEN "EMERGENCY UPDATE BRIEFING" Hal Turner Comment I am 56 years old; been around a long time. I have NEVER seen anything like this take place on the world stage. This is an unprecedented collective action and it is leading to outright war. You cannot have war until relations are destroyed and the destruction of relations is taking place right now. Today. UPDATE 10:42 AM EDT -- "THE WEST HAS MADE A MISTAKE AND I WILL BE MAKING FINAL DECISIONS ON A RESPONSE" -PUTIN Sweden expels Russian Diplomat UPDATE 10:49 AM EDT -- My sources in the Intelligence Community (IC) are saying this may be related to the "PetroYuan" launched by China to buy and sell OIL in Yuan instead of Dollars. The "PetroYuan" went LIVE last night, and in the first hour of trading, TEN BILLION DOLLARS of notional trading took place. For decades, all oil sales in the world HAD to be performed using Dollars. This meant that countries around the world needed physical US Dollars to buy oil. With a new way to now purchase oil using the Chinese Yuan currency, a whole slew of US Dollars are going to flood back into the USA from countries that don't want our currency anymore and who have resented having to use it. When all that cash starts coming back into the USA, it will cause almost immediate hyper-inflation, wrecking the value of the Dollar, and collapsing the US economy. THAT is something countries go to war to prevent . . . This fits the situation when one sees that the US has been deliberately conducting "freedom of navigation" exercises in the South China Sea, ignoring the artificial islands created by China and the new "territory" claimed by those islands. Last week, China's President Xi Jinping, said "China is ready for a bloody battle" over what they claim is their "Sovereignty" in that region. China is part of the BRICS economic group: Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. Those countries collectively equate to a HUGE economic force and if they are now all going to swith to the PetroYuan, then the US may not survive as an economic power! Hence, "trouble" with the two biggest players in that BRICS group: China and Russia. We could see the actual start of World War 3 before the month ends. Expulsion of ambassadors is always the last step before the bullets start to fly. Diplomats getting expelled or leaving is one of the first signs of war. This means all enemy assets are being removed so they cant do anything from within.

China Launches Massive Military Drills "In Preparation For War"

by Tyler Durden Sun, 03/25/2018 - 10:54

Just hours after the latest close military encounter between the US and China, when the US navy sailed a destroyer to within 12 nautical miles of the contested Spratly Islands in the South China Sea as a "freedom of navigation" operation - a move that China condemned as a "severe provocation" just as the two countries launched an all-out trade war - the Chinese military launched its spring combat readiness drills with an air force exercise in the West Pacific and a joint combat patrol mission in the South China Sea. The air force drills include H-6K bombers and Su-30 and Su-35 fighters, according to the PLA , and have a simple, if clear, purpose: "Air Force exercises are rehearsals for future wars and are the most direct preparation for war," the Chinese Air Force said on its Weibo account on Sunday, according to Reuters. "The more exercises China practices far from its shores the better it will be positioned as an important force for managing and controlling crises, containing war and winning battles", it added. Additionally, the PLA Navy is holding drills in the South China Sea to test the navy's combat readiness, China Central Television reported on Friday. It quoted the PLA Navy as saying the drills are routine and do not target any country, although the message had one clear recipient: USA. "The South China Sea and East China Sea will be primary battlegrounds. The PLA is committed to be battle-ready through simulated combat training," Song Zhongping, a military expert and TV commentator, told the Global Times on Sunday. "The 2018 drills will be routine and will be held every month, unlike in previous years," Song said, adding that drills were usually held in spring and autumn. The Global Times reported that "the drills come as the situation in the South China Sea stabilizes." However, the Chinese state-owned nationalist paper added that "some nations are still trying to stir up regional disputes, Wang Xiaopeng, a maritime border expert at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times on Sunday." Although the drills do not target any specific country, they are focused on enhancing China's capability to safeguard the country's sovereignty, Wang said. News of the drills comes a day after the USS Mustin came within 12 nautical miles of Meiji Reef in the Nansha Islands in the South China Sea. Chinese President Xi Jinping, has urged the army at all levels to enhance military training oriented to combat readiness and to put military training at a strategic position and as the central work with effective results, the Xinhua News Agency reported. Xi called on the armed forces to enhance targeted and adversarial training, improve actual combat ability, and firmly grasp the capability to win battles. The Air Force even released a photo of a Su-30 fighter jet on Sino Weibo during its drills. The caption read, "It's spring time. Let's spread the wings across the ocean." By releasing the photo, the PLA Air Force demonstrated its confidence in the open-sea training and the use of weapons, Song said. The routine military drills in 2018 will focus more on the use of high-end weapons, especially in an electromagnetic environment, as well as on combined forces training, Song added. As a strategic force, the air force has extended its activities from inland to the deep ocean, it said on Weibo. The air force has become a key force in shaping situations, controlling crises, constraining wars and winning battles, it said. And so with the US and China already engaged in escalating trade war, it appears that Beijing is preparing for the next step.

As Russia Unveils Unstoppable Nukes That Could Vaporize American Cities Instantly, Atomic Bomb Test Survivor Shares This Warning With America

- 'Now I Am Become Death, The Destroyer Of Worlds'

Submitted to All News Pipeline by Pastor Dick Carmack

De 28:34 So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.

35 The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head.

66 And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:

67 In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.

With Russia recently unveiling unstoppable nuclear weapons that could nearly instantly vaporize American cities as heard in the first video below and our world becoming increasingly dangerous, it is absolutely prudent to consider possible scenarios for our future. Will there be atomic warfare, warfare that comes here to American soil? If so, here is an eyewitness account of an actual blast. In the spring of 1953 I was a guinea pig in an above-ground atom bomb test at Camp Desert Rock Nevada. Concerning what we are facing today I want to post a story I wrote about the experience. How it applies, I’ll leave to the reader. To give the reader a sense of more reasons of why we believe and how we arrived at our conjecture that atomic-type blasts will probably come into play in the wars that are described in the Bible, we are including here, an account of our own personal experience when the writer was a guinea pig in an atomic test: This writer was stationed at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri (Corps of Engineers, U.S. Army) in early spring of 1953 when many of us were ordered as “volunteers” to board a train for Nevada to participate in an atomic test. It was early, perhaps an hour before sun-up on a chilly March morning. We had been trucked to the site the afternoon before, a few miles from Camp Desert Rock which lay about 80 miles north of Las Vegas, Nevada. We had come almost 1,600 miles from Missouri to be the “invited” (ordered) but reluctant guinea pigs in an atomic test called "Operation UPSHOT-KNOTHOLE, “1953 (CONUS “Continental United States).” We were told the device to be tested was of approximately the same size as “Little Boy” that was dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945 which was followed shortly by another called 'FatMan' over Nagasaki on 9 August.” If our recollection is accurate then the test in which we participated was “Annie” and took place on March 17, 1953. The following paragraph is the official government release of information concerning the event: “ANNIE, the first device tested, was an "open shot," meaning that reporters were allowed to view the detonation from News Nob, 11 kilometers south of the shot-tower. The Government wanted to show the American public that nuclear weapons could be used defensively, without destroying large urban centers and populations “ Early next morning, the entire troop of men numbering at least in the hundreds, perhaps more, were ordered into a series of trenches (five or six feet deep) running horizontal to and about 3000 yards from ground zero to the north where the “device” rested atop a 300’ steel tower. It was a cube and looked to be perhaps the size of a small camper trailer (Ed note, device size has since been drastically reduced). There were no distinguishing characteristics, just a black box barely seen in a gradually lightening sky. Sun-up was near, but not yet. First we faced south and at an unknown range in the dark of early morning, saw a huge explosion which we were told had been 20,000 lbs (ten tons) of TNT. Very large, very impressive, but, as we were soon to understand, merely a candle at 50 feet compared to what was to come. “The official yield estimate of "Little Boy" (Hiroshima) was about 16 kilotons of TNT equivalent in explosive force, i.e. 6.3 × 1013.” The comparison therefore between the TNT and the atomic device would be roughly ten tons to 16,000 tons, assuming our test was the same size as Little Boy. We were told to close our eyes but that proved almost impossible. The temptation was great to “take a peek” although we had been warned to do so might result in permanent blindness. There was a huge flash that is impossible to describe. A flash no known machine could produce. A flash that lit your eye up like daylight even with the eyelid tightly closed. The mountain landscape more than 20 miles away exploded in a brilliant white (that’s a few seconds later when we dared to look). The flash lit the mountain as brightly as if a trillion flashbulbs had exploded in unison. It was a blinding, white light that rested on the eye for several seconds. As we began to slowly comprehend what we were seeing, we felt the first shock wave. The ground began to rumble like a sleeping giant rolling over and beginning to wake. The noise started as a low hum and quickly expanded into something like the roar of a locomotive bearing down on you with violent shaking, throwing equipment, men and animals first one direction and then another. Soldiers in trenches, in this and in subsequent tests of similar weapons testified their bodies were thrown uncontrollably from one side of the trenched excavation to the other. As the shaking and heaving continued we looked up to ground level and saw dust and sand. Also rocks the size of five gallon buckets were thrown violently across the ground. A suffocating shroud of dirt immediately dropped on anything that was not blown away. Roughly 15 seconds later, instead of blowing south, the hurricane of debris shifted 180 degrees and instead of small rocks and boulders flying overhead we saw large blocks of fused sand (Trinitite) and possibly large boulders going back to the north, back to “the point of detonation.” This continued for maybe 20 seconds before an eerie silence descended on the scene. Not a sound was heard as the entire army of guinea pigs crouched in stunned silence. Next, as the dust began to settle we were told by loudspeaker it was safe to stand and see the after effects of the blast. First we looked north toward the point of detonation, and where a 300 ft. tower had stood only minutes before there was now only flat ground, no debris, just desert, the tower had disintegrated. In the silence a mushroom cloud ascended in the early morning light and as the sun peeked over the mountains to the east, a beautiful blue, the color of Safire spread across the top of the first “mushroom.” Out of that, the cloud continued its spiral toward the sky and as the second and third mushroom tops formed, the intensity of color grew. We stood in breathless awe and then as we lowered our eyes we saw a “wheel within a wheel” reminiscent of Ezekiel’s description of God Himself…

Ezekiel 1:4 ¶ And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire.

A dirty brown cloud roiled and boiled on the ground. The tongues of fire licked through the dirt as a huge fat wheel looking like a dirty donut on its side, was growling and wrestling with itself as it rolled from the bottom up, curling on the outside of the donut and disappearing “infolding,” toward the inside at the top. And out of this writhing mass of dirt and fire at a 90 degree angle came a “wheel within a wheel.”…

Eze 1:16 The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.

The center “wheel” turned at a right angle from the donut lying on the ground. It spun in a counter-clockwise direction (like a contained tornado) as viewed from the top. Up and up it snaked into the atmosphere mushrooming out at perhaps 500-800 ft., then topping and forming a new “wheel” which continued its trip to the sky, again, topping and continuing on to a third mushroom top, each capped with a layer of blue:…

Eze 1:22 And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the colour of the terrible crystal stretched forth over their heads above. (ED: “colour” A beautiful aquamarine beryl blue) We stood with mouths open in speechless, stunned astonishment and as we stood and looked, it gradually dawned on me that instead of my field jacket being buttoned tightly around my throat because of the cold, I had unconsciously opened each button in sequence and stood with jacket wide open. The temperature had risen from probably 35 F to perhaps 70 or 80 F in a matter of a few minutes. As we looked to the outside of the area, in a ring of fire, a radius of what we were told was about eight miles; the sagebrush was burning. The initial blast had burned everything in its path, reaching its extremity at roughly eight miles. At this point, the blast had reached its maximum and the resulting vacuum then pulled much of the debris back to “ground zero,” extinguishing all fires as the air rushed back to the center, filling the void created by the atomic blast. The effect was to leave a “ring of fire” sixteen miles in diameter encircling us. Gradually, the “mushrooms” began to disintegrate, as all the dust settled and a clear Nevada sky came to bloom. Our next and almost immediate action was “scrimmage.” We were ordered, and I mean that as a fact, to take our M1 rifles and scrimmage or dogtrot toward ground zero, only stopping at what we were told was 1000 yards from the blast point. As we scrimmaged toward the center our feet crunched through fused sand (“Trinitite” see addendum), snapping it like thin yellow-green glass as we made our trails across the desert. Jackrabbits wobbled crazily from side to side, somehow having escaped death as the blast tore across the earth. By this time we were sweating heavily because of the physical exertion and the dramatic rise in temperature.

Next on the agenda was a tour to view the effects of the blast on buildings and test animals we had seen the previous afternoon, stick-built sheds and houses simulating a small village and a long, wide excavation sloping downward away from the “device.” In this wide “trench” were about a half dozen sheep. After the blast we went by again and of the six or seven sheep only one had its coat burned and that only on one side. The other animals were singed on their backs and had obviously “instinctively?” lined up one behind the other so only the lead sheep took the main effect of the blast. We surmised they were crowded in the farthest and deepest part of the trench when “Annie” went off. Suffice it to say, the buildings had disappeared. The final action of the morning, before we boarded troop carriers back to camp, was the sweeping down with brooms of accumulated dust and the removal of our REMM badges that each soldier was issued and had pinned to his jacket. The badges were supposed to record the amount of radiation each of us had been exposed to. After the trip back to camp we were finally allowed to shower, never being told the amount of danger we guinea pigs had undergone. A month or so later I was given a 30 day leave and while at home in Colorado I started losing all my hair. Not relating the hair loss with radiation at the time, I assumed I was going prematurely bald, though in a few months the hair later grew back to normal. Many years later we read about one effect of radiation being hair loss, and then made the connection. We heard speculation and stories and in later years I understand many of us guinea pigs died from various types of cancers and other diseases. I was one of those that was spared. I later married and fathered five children, our children giving birth to many more children, till today we number over 70 grand and great grandchildren. None of who, to the best of my knowledge suffer from any ill effects of the experience. Am I claiming my personal observation of an atomic explosion is comparable to the description of God given in Ezekiel 1? Of course not. I simply saw things that to me were hard to put into words until I later became a Christian and then was astounded to read in the Bible, almost exactly what I had seen on the desert of Nevada so many years ago. Addendum: “A number of different types of Trinitite have been identified. Green is the most common form. Black contains iron from the tower structure. Red contains copper from the device used in the blast or from the communications cables that led away from the site. Both black and red specimens are extremely rare. Rounded "pearls" also are found, which come from melted silica that returned to solid form before hitting the ground. “The glass has been described as "a layer “ to 2 centimeters thick, with the upper surface marked by a very thin sprinkling of dust which fell upon it while it was still molten. At the bottom is a thicker film of partially fused material, which grades into the soil from which it was derived. The color of the glass is a pale bottle green, and the material is extremely vesicular with the size of the bubbles ranging to nearly the full thickness of the specimen."

ANALYSIS: How Turkey is working to restore the Ottoman Empire

The Turks have conquered Afrin, in Syria, from the Kurds. Erdogan, working to restore the Ottoman empire, is going on to Manbij and Iraq..

Contact Editor Yochanan Visser, 25/03/18 21:51

Yochanan Visser is an independent journalist/analyst who worked for many years as Middle East correspondent for Western Journalism.com in Arizona and was a frequent publicist for the main Dutch paper De Volkskrant. He authored a book in the Dutch language about the cognitive war against Israel and now lives in Gush Etzion. He writes a twice weekly analysis of current issues for Arutz Sheva. Last week the Turkish military and its ally, the Free Syrian Army, finally succeeded in capturing the city of Afrin in the most northern Kurdish autonomous canton in Syria. The Kurdish militia YPG decided to evacuate its forces after the Turks and their allies had encircled the city from three sides, dealing a severe blow to Kurdish autonomy aspirations in Syria. Turkish dictator Recep Tayyip Erdoğan used the victory to make new threats against the Kurds in both Syria and Iraq, while vowing not to leave Afrin “before the job is done”. The Turkish government claims 3747 YPG fighters have died in the illn-named ‘Operation Olive Branch’ which lasted for more than two months. On the Turkish side 42 soldiers died while 159 fighters of the Free Syrian Army lost their lives, according to Russian state-controlled media.  Approximately 200,000 people were displaced as a result of the Turkish offensive which came to an abrupt end after the Kurds decided not to engage in urban warfare and left Afrin under the cover of civilian convoys. There have been reports about looting by Erdogan’s forces after the fall of Afrin. Turkish soldiers broke into shops and stole food but also other goods and even a number of motorcycles, according to Arab media. On Sunday, the Turkish authorities reported that the Afrin canton was under “complete control” with the state-controlled Anadolu news agency reporting the Turkish army had started to sweep mines and explosives in anticipation of the return of the civilian population. Experts on Turkey now say that the Afrin operation is another indication Erdogan is working to restore the Ottoman empire which included areas in Syria and Iraq such as Sinjar and Afrin. The Turkish regime released a movie about the offensive in Afrin in which the victory over the Kurds was labeled a “conquest”, while state-controlled media used the same term to describe the fall of Afrin . Fears that Erdogan will not stop his second intervention in Syria after the fall of Afrin seem therefore to be justified. He will try to ‘liberate’ other parts of Syria and even Iraq where the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) has a foothold in the Sinjar region. The hotheaded Turkish strongman has vowed he will now order his forces to move in the direction of the predominantly Sunni Arab city of Manbij which was liberated from ISIS by the Arab/Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in 2016. This will most likely pit the Turkish military against NATO ally the United States, which has vowed it has no intention to leave Manbij. During a meeting in Istanbul of Erdogan’s AKP party the Turkish dictator said he “won’t take steps backward from here”. He then said he had spoken with Russian president Vladimir Putin and his American counterpart Donald Trump about his plans to cleanse Manbij and the other two Kurdish cantons in Syria from ‘terrorists,’ a term he also uses to demonize his opponents in Turkey. ‘We won’t take steps backward from here. We are on the side of the suffering and the oppressed,’” Erdogan told his supporters while claiming that 160,000 Syrian “brothers and sisters” are now able to return home. He meant a part of the Sunni Syrian Arab refugees who fled to Turkey as a result of the Syrian civil war. A senior Trump official reacted by vowing the U.S. “has no intention to leave Manbij” which has a contingent of 2,000 American Special Forces which have been assisting the SDF in its battle against ISIS. “US forces are located in Manbij. We have made it very clear with the Turkish government that we will continue to operate there,” State Department Spokeswoman Heather Nauert said during a press conference last week. Incoming Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is expected not to execute a compromise which was reached by his predecessor Rex Tillerson, who last month brokered a deal with Erdogan about shared control of Manbij. Pompeo is no fan of Erdogan and labeled Turkey “an Islamist dictatorship” after the botched coup in July 2016. There’s more. In southeastern Afrin, Erdogan’s forces could be on the edge of a confrontation with the Syrian army and its allies after they seized four villages and are now approaching a region which is under Syrian army control. Unnamed sources told the Iranian Fars News Agency “Turkish forces have approached the regions near the two towns of Nobl and al-Zahra which are under the Syrian army's control now.” After the new Turkish intervention in Syria, Assad’s forces made inroads to Idlib which neighbors Afrin and from there they proceeded in the direction of Afrin. As for Iraq, Erdogan has repeatedly warned the Turkish army could come to Sinjar “overnight”. "If (Baghdad) cannot (make an end to the PKK presence), we may turn up in Sinjar suddenly one night and clean up the PKK there," Erdogan said last Monday about the impending Turkish invasion of northern Iraq which he dubbed “Operation Tigris Shield”. His remarks drew the ire of the central government in Baghdad which announced its absolute rejection of any foreign intervention in the territories under its control. It didn’t stop Erdogan from ordering new airstrikes on PKK bases in northern Iraq after which the PKK announced it would withdraw 2,000 fighters from Sinjar. Some media reports said the Turks had already invaded northern Iraq. It was another indication that the Turkish dictator is waging a “personal war”, as one pundit put it, against the Kurds who dreamt to establish an independent state even before the allied forces divided the Middle East after WWI and created artificial states.

Supermarket Bankruptcies Are Beginning to Pile Up

By Craig Giammona March 19, 2018, 5:00 AM EDT

Bankruptcies show how tough competition has gotten for grocers

Walmart, Kroger are making expensive investments in technology

This is how the grocery industry lives now. Regional chains are filing for bankruptcy. European-born discounters are expanding, forcing competitors to keep their own prices low. And Kroger Co. and Walmart Inc., the two largest grocers in the U.S., are investing in technology and expanding delivery as they try to fend off an incursion by Amazon.com Inc. It’s a bleak outlook for a sector that was supposed to be rebounding this year. A historic bout of food deflation -- which fueled a price war in the past two years -- has ended, but efforts to sell more groceries online are gobbling up investment dollars. And some well-known names are crying uncle. Southeastern Grocers, owner of the Winn-Dixie and Bi-Lo supermarket chains, filed for bankruptcy last week. “The environment is intensely competitive,” said Jennifer Bartashus, an analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence. “And I don’t see that easing anytime soon.” For now, Amazon is more of a symbolic threat. It acquired Whole Foods Market last year, but that provided it with less than 500 stores. The e-commerce giant’s grocery-delivery business, meanwhile, still only has a small slice of the grocery market. Investors Rattled Even so, Amazon’s expansion has prodded traditional stores into making costly changes -- and the fears of investors have battered their stocks. So far this year, Kroger and Walmart have lost more than $30 billion in market value combined. What Drew Amazon and Alibaba to Brick-and-Mortar: QuickTake Q&A But the grocery giants at least have the scale and resources needed to adapt. The industry’s smaller players are even more at risk. Along with Southeastern Grocers, Tops Friendly Markets also filed for bankruptcy in the past month. Based in Williamsville, New York, Tops has about 170 stores. Southeastern Grocers, meanwhile, has nearly 700 locations. The company announced it was reorganizing on Thursday, with plans to close 94 stores. As the pressure mounts, other regional chains could go under, according to Roger Davidson, an industry consultant. “These weaker retailers are starting to collapse,” he said. Tight Margins Even before Amazon bought Whole Foods last year, pressure was ramping up in the grocery industry, which is known for razor-thin margins. In recent years, food has proliferated at dollar stores and pharmacies, with groceries seen as a reliable drive of store traffic. The rise of meal kits also has given U.S. consumers another dinner option, and one that often translates to less grocery shopping. All of this comes after a building boom in the industry. For years, supermarkets were seen as a safe investment because they were mostly immune to the disruptive forces of e-commerce. “There’s been a bit of a moat around it,” said James Cook, director of retail research at JLL. That feeling of security has evaporated. Last year, new grocery store openings plunged 29 percent as companies curtailed expansion plans, according to a report from JLL. German Rivals To be sure, some chains are still adding stores, most notably Aldi and Lidl. The two longtime German rivals currently account for 27 percent of the grocery stores recently built or in progress, according to data from research firm Planned Grocery. Lidl is a newcomer to the U.S., but research has shown that it forces rivals to lower prices in the markets where it opens stores. Aldi has been operating in the U.S. since 1976 and now has more than 1,750 stores. It’s spending more than $5 billion to remodel 1,300 existing stores and build an additional 750 locations over the next five years. The remodels have included more selling space for natural and organic items, part of a bid for wealthier shoppers, according to Jason Hart, who leads the chain’s U.S. operations. Over the last three years, the company’s organic produce sales have surged more than 200 percent. “We’ve made the Aldi concept appeal to a broader set of consumers,” he said in an interview. “The momentum we have currently is something we always thought we should have -- the concept just makes sense.” Slow Growth All of the competitive pressure comes as the grocery industry averaged only about 2 percent growth over the last five years, according to a report from Forrester Research Inc. That means the industry is mainly fighting for market share at this point. So far, Amazon hasn’t said much about its broader plans for Whole Foods. The premium chain has been struggling under the new management, with complaints rolling in about out-of-stock items and quality problems. That shows Amazon might not have the easiest time turning the business into a fine-tuned part of its operations. But Amazon remains a source of pressure in an industry still recovering from food deflation. And that’s unlikely to change soon. “Everyone hoped the return of inflation would provide some relief,” said Bloomberg Intelligence’s Bartashus. “But it hasn’t happened.”

Brain Implants Are Happening — Are You Ready For Yours?

March 18, 2018 by SkyWatch Editor

Brain implants or other types of neural links, such as Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs) between the brain, the internet, and the cloud, are quickly entering the realm of science rather than science fiction. The Defense Advanced Research Agency is ready to run trials with closed-loop mood control chips linked to AI that can deliver an electrical impulse to regulate a soldier’s mood. In the private sector, Elon Musk has announced Neuralink — a neurotechnology venture that will not only focus on fighting diseases but also on augmenting humans so they can better compete with machines […] The introduction of brain implants that we normal people could buy at the mall will open a Pandora’s box of possibilities. It’s one of those technological leaps that makes you wonder if our future is going to be heaven or hell. This is something that I spend a lot of time thinking about, and have written extensively about in articles and for my book. I know it might sound like a cliché, but many of the potential “upgrades to human” will probably end up downgrading our lives in terms of health and happiness. While we might gain certain superpowers, we would also lose many attributes that define us as human beings… (READ MORE)

Abortionist Slits Babies’ Throats So They Can’t Scream

The scariest thing about progressives is that their rejection of God and of morality makes them capable of anything. Someone asked Utah abortionist Leah Torres if she hears the screams of the babies she kills. Her response was chilling: “You know fetuses can’t scream, right? I transect the cord 1st so there’s really no opportunity, if they’re even far enough along to have a larynx.” The babies can’t scream because she cuts their throats. Yet liberals puff themselves up with self-righteousness as they defend these inhuman procedures. On a tip from Troy H.

'Liberal Policies Of Mass Destruction' Leave Blistering Path Of Death And Starvation In Socialist Venezuela, Where The Only Full Refrigerator Is At The Morgue

By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die March 18, 2018

In this new story over at the Panam Post that Zero Hedge picked up on their website on Saturday, the story shines a very bright light on two of the biggest problems they're facing in Venezuela that help to explain why conditions are now so dire there. Titled "The Only Full Refrigerator In Venezuela Is In The Morgue", the subtitle of their story should sound a very loud and very clear alarm to the tens of thousands of university professors all across America who have been indoctrinating their students into socialism.: Sociologist Tomas Paez argues that the disastrous socialist public policy of Chavez and Maduro has been the primary factor in the massive exodus from Venezuela. The story then goes on to hit straight to home for everybody in America who thinks that we'll be better off with socialism here, especially to those university professors who've been pushing 'liberal policies of mass destruction'. Reporting that the salary of the average university professor in Venezuela is between 5 and 7 dollars.....and if you're waiting to gasp to learn that they only make $5 to $7 an hour, you'd be terribly wrong, the average university professor in Venezuela brings home between $5 and $7... A MONTH! Anybody still ready for socialism in America? vz_prof_salary.gif While the cost of living in Venezuela is 57.18% lower than we have here in the United States and rent in Venezuela is 81.14% lower than what it is in United States according to Numbeo, at least 87% of the people in Venezuela now live in poverty. And even with the much lower cost of living and rents in Venezuela, imagine trying to survive off of even $50 a month. While Numbeo's figures for the average Venezuelan monthly salary of $33.36 differs from the figures given by the Panam Post and even a recent CNN story as we see below, Numbeo also reports the average 1 bedroom apartment rents for $182.22 per month outside of the city center while basic utilities run about $12.29 a month. And while gasoline there sells for 1 cent per gallon according to the global petrol prices website, a meal for two at a mid-range restaurant averages about $30 leading us to ask, how can the people of Venezuela even survive in that socialist nation? In fact, according to the Panam Post story, should the average university professor in Venezuela choose to leave the country like millions of others have already done with an estimated 3 million Venezuelans leaving over the past several years, and they choose to leave Venezuela by plane, they'd have to work between 15 to 18 years, non-stop without spending money on anything else, just to get the money they'd need to buy the plane ticket. "Long live Venezuela, hurrah?" As CNN itself reported earlier in March in this story saved over at Archive, while those in Venezuela who are earning 'minimum wage' recently saw President Nicolas Maduro raise it to what amounts to $6.13 a month using current exchange rates, due to the country's runaway inflation rates, that amount is far less than they were making last year. And last year, the average person in Venezula lost 25 pounds. That amount was up from the 18 pounds that the average Venezuelan lost in 2016. Still ready for socialism, kids? As we've reported time and again on ANP, what has been happening all across Venezuela should be looked at as a very dire warning to America. Is anybody listening? And with the 'mass exodus from Venezuela' mirroring what we're now seeing from the state of California with that socialist-wannabe-nation sinking into collapse with tens of thousands homeless as Mary Taylor recently reported on ANP, it's easy to see that anybody who's pushing us into socialism is pushing us towards complete destruction. With zookeepers allowing zoo animals to battle it out in a 'lose and be-eaten' nightmarish dysphoria and the people of Venezuela selling their selves or their children to acquire their next meals, criminal gangs there are using food to lure children in as new members while starvation becomes the 'new norm' there as we hear in the heartbreaking 1st video below. As CNN also reported back on January 17th in a story titled "You Can't Get $1 Out Of The Bank In Venezuela. I Tried", their reporter Stephano Pozzebon who lives there had recently spent 4 hours visiting 4 different banks in a vain attempt to withdraw money - his net result: 6 cents! While most Americans could dig around on the floors of their cars and find at least 5 times that amount of change without looking too hard, there but for the Amazing Grace of God go we. Yet how close might America be to reaching 'Venezuela-levels' of depths of despair within our own country? While the 'purchase power parity' of Americans in 2016 was $57,300, the forecast PPP for Americans in 2025 is only $11,304. Let's compare that to Venezuela. While Venezuela's 2016 PPP was $15,100, (MORE than the PPP for America is forecast to be in 2025!), the forecast PPP for 2025 Venezuela is only $9,720. Taking that comparison a little bit further, the forecast 2025 PPP for Qatar is $49,726, the forecast 2025 PPP for Russia is $39,702 while the 2025 forecast PPP for Finland is $37,341. What is 'purchase power parity' you might ask? From Investopedia: Purchasing power parity is an economic theory that compares different countries' currencies through a market "basket of goods" approach. According to this concept, two currencies are in equilibrium or at par when a market basket of goods (taking into account the exchange rate) is priced the same in both countries. While the PPP for the US in 2016 was almost 4X that of Venezuela, our forecast PPP for 2025 is not even $2,000 above the PPP being forecast for Venezuela showing us once again, the 'deep state' who Deagel gets their information from is 'forecasting' America in total collapse by 2025. With empty store shelves and mass starvation the 'new norm' in Venezuela and clueless Americans still pushing socialism as 'the answer' to the problems here in our own country that ail us, we remind you that all throughout history, food has been used as a weapon by totalitarian government's against their people, just as we're witnessing now in Venezuela. And while we should be ever grateful here in America, where our grocery store shelves are stocked full every day and our next meals as close as our refrigerator's, it's been warned over and over again that Venezuela should be looked at as a warning to America, even if our country never falls to the catastrophic levels of poverty being seen there. For should war break out upon US soil or an EMP take down our electrical grid, past snow storms across big cities in America show how quickly store shelves are cleared out, especially if in the future people suddenly came to realize that what they saw upon the shelves before them might be the last time they saw food in grocery stores for a very long time. With most people in America still completely unprepared for a TEOTWAWKI situation suddenly happening here and the clueless masses pushing for socialism with a majority of millenials preferring to live in a communist, socialist or fascist country according to this Washington Times story, people should really be careful about what they wish for, they just might get it.

Official Washington flocking to Doomsday Camps

by Paul Bedard | March 19, 2018 08:16 AM

A building network of backwoods doomsday camps around the country are pulling in members from affluent areas and even Washington national security officials as the threats grow from nuclear war, an EMP or virus attack. Called Fortitude Ranch, the outposts promise protection and a year’s supply of food for those unable to build their own bunker. What’s more, until a crisis strikes, they are being used for prepper training and vacations. members from all the three letter agencies,” said Fortitude creator Drew Miller, a retired Air Force colonel and intelligence officer, in a reference to the Central Intelligence Agency, Defense Intelligence Agency and Federal Bureau of Investigation. He called an attack or even a weather-related electromagnetic pulse shutdown of the electric grid “inevitable,” and a driving force in his project. One of his members from the Baltimore area, speaking on background, said that he and others joined after “waking up” to the potential of a national crisis from an attack, financial meltdown or political violence. “For most of us, something rattled our cages and woke us up,” he said. Through memberships and his own cryptocurrency called “Fortitudes,” Miller has raised about $400,000 and established a ranch in West Virginia and Colorado with 10 others planned. An open house at the West Virginia ranch is scheduled for April 21-23. He said that for the West Virginia ranch, “most members are professional Washington area folks. They don’t have time to do this own their own.” The cost is about $1,000 per person per year to join. Each camp is expected to house 50-500 in a crisis and Miller said they will have lodges, underground bunkers and guard towers. In the event of a social meltdown, members will be responsible for manning those towers. Each camp has a shooting range. He said that the camps are nearly as survivable in an attack as the Mt. Weather FEMA site near Virginia’s Shenandoah River where several Washington leaders were housed after the 9/11 attacks. There have been numerous reports recently warning of EMP, nuclear and viral attacks from Russia, Iran and North Korea. “You’d have to be an idiot not to think it will happen,” said Miller, author of “Rohan Nation: Reinventing America After the 2020 Collapse.” On his website, Miller plays up the prepper/vacation angle for members. “We are a large survival community that can keep members spread out (virus protection) have sufficient size to deter/defeat marauder attacks and raise crops/livestock.” it says. “The best approach to reliable, effective, affordable survivability is to join a survival community that is large and well prepared to deal with viral pandemics, marauder threats, and long-term collapse conditions. We are also a great, low cost vacation and recreational site for our members since we locate in remote, beautiful forest, mountain areas,” it adds.

Is California's Governor Preparing To 'Wage War' On Conservatives In California? 'Be Careful What You Wish For, Jerry'

Submitted to All News Pipeline by William B Stoecker March 18, 2018

Not satisfied with being dead last among the states, based on things like educational standards, poverty, and homelessness, the glorious leaders of Jerry Moonbeam’s People’s Republic of Fruits and Nuts (formerly known as California) are forging ahead to new depths. California’s major urban areas have declared themselves to be “sanctuary cities” for “undocumented immigrants,” which is leftist newspeak for illegal aliens. In fact, Moonbeam has declared the entire place to be a “sanctuary state.” Of course, there is no sanctuary for the dwindling number of working class US citizens who still live here. The large cities, the Legislature, and the Governor’s office are all dominated by Demoncraps, meaning communists, meaning fascists. Recently, the State even appointed an illegal alien “Dreamer” to head (paid for by the few remaining taxpayers) something called the “California Student Opportunity and Access Program Project Grant Advisory Committee.” Wow. That’s a mouthful. The leftists do have a way with words. Let me guess…this agency will probably give huge educational grants to illegal aliens. Aside from the lying clowns in the Legislature, the critters we can thank for all this enlightenment include, of course, Moonbeam himself. He is an 80 year old White male (sort of) elected by radical feminists who hate the patriarchy of old, White men. Like most leftists, he was born rich into a kind of political dynasty; his late father, Edmund “Pat” Brown, was also Governor and also a Demoncrap. Of course, Moonbeam has never worked at anything like a real job, even a white collar one, and, like most of his class, he has never dirtied his delicate hands with physical laborthat’s for the deplorables, don’t you know. Most of his life has been in politics; he has been Mayor of Oakland and was previously Governor for a few years before taking a break and then returning to the office…he has, thus far, spent 16 years as Governor and can take credit for much of the (downhill) progress the state has made. Moonbeam had his ticket punched at Yale Law School, like so many of our betters, has fathered no children, and did not marry until age 67. He may or may not be a homosexual, but he is anything but mainstream, and has virtually nothing in common with the little people he rules. He supports the sanctuary state idea, and he and California Attorney General Xavier Becerra have threatened businesses with hefty fines if they cooperate (as required by federal law) with ICE by reporting illegal alien employees. It’s not clear that the state law the business owners would be violating (the Immigrant Worker Protection Act) is even constitutional, but leftists have never let the Constitution get in their way before. Moonbeam has even implied some sanction against any local law enforcement agencies that cooperate with ICE. Moonbeam’s prime henchman in all of this is Xavier Becerra, who is himself Hispanic, because diversity is so important (as long as it isn’t a diversity of thought and opinion). Becerra has announced that he is committed to “protecting California’s immigrant communities” and “vulnerable, undocumented youth.” He just oozes compassion, and supports abortion, including sex-selective abortion (killing girls). If killing babies isn’t compassionate, what is? Needless to say, he has announced his adoration of Glibetts (GLBTs). And that’s about the extent of his tolerance. He mostly lives in Maryland rather than in the “paradise” he has helped create in California. Of the many Demoncrap mayors, Oakland Mayor Elizabeth “Libby” Schaff, a 53 year old attorney (aren’t they all), stands out for warning illegal aliens of impending ICE raids since 2/18 so they can escape or ambush and murder the federal agents. It’s not clear who has leaked the information to her. So all these leftists are bravely standing up to the federal government over the one issue that truly is the prerogative of the feds…immigration. There has been an incremental federalization of laws and law enforcement, all of it championed by the left, despite the fact that our Founding Fathers believed in state sovereignty, meaning that most laws and law enforcement should be left to the states. Not satisfied with violating the federal law that truly should be federal, some of California’s heroic leftists are even championing secession of the state from the US…the Calexit movement. The leader of this movement is one Louis Marinelli, who was born in New York and lives in Russia, which makes about as much sense as Becerra living in Maryland. If we get really lucky, perhaps Moonbeam will move to Central Africa. The Calexit movement has little support, mostly from leftists…despite the fact that leftists have always supported a stronger central government (eventually leading to a world government) and opposed state sovereignty. Like they say, if leftists didn’t have double standards they would have no standards at all. But if Moonbeam and his cronies can disobey federal law, why should California counties and individual citizens obey California law? Already Tehama and Siskiyou counties have voted to disobey Moonbeam and cooperate with ICE. What is Moonbeam going to do…send in the National Guard and wage war against the sheriffs and citizens in those counties? People forget that there is a whole other California away from Sacramento and the coastal urban areas and the extreme south of the state (already in effect conquered by Mexico). Much of the northern part of California, the Central Valley (save for the Capital), and the Sierra Nevada and Cascade Mountains are rural and conservative, inhabited by farmers and ranchers, loggers, miners, and fishermen…you know, people who are actually productive. For many years there has been a movement by people in northern California and southern Oregon to break away from those states and create the new state of Jefferson. Oregon and Washington are both as leftist-dominated as California, but those states, too, especially away from the coast, have many counties inhabited by normal human beings. Why shouldn’t they be free to defy Moonbeam and his equivalents in Oregon and Washington? Why shouldn’t individual citizens in California defy the state’s unconstitutional gun laws? Why should citizens pay taxes to support aid for illegal aliens and cushy salaries for leftist politicians, judges, and bureaucrats? And why should the idea be limited to California and the West Coast? If Trump betrays us or is overthrown, why shouldn’t Texas secede, or, short of secession, simply refuse to obey many federal laws? Maybe Moonbeam is on to something. Be careful what you wish for, Jerry.

Google Busted Again Manipulating Search Results As 'Internet Bill Of Rights' Gains Traction

March 18, 2018 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

It will come as no shock to regular readers that big tech is completely out of control, as is social media giants like Twitter and Facebook, as we have been documenting the increasing intensity and frequency of their outright censorship of Independent and conservative websites, videos, and social media posts. While it is not surprising, it is important to document their censorship practices as they find new ways to silence anyone that doesn't promote or conform to their preferred narrative and official spin, because one cannot fight against attacks if they do not see them and where they are coming from. GOOGLE WANTS TO CONTROL WHAT YOU ARE ALLOWED TO SEEE One recent example and proof of Google's censorship practices is highlighted over at Free Thought Project is Google's manipulation of search results, shown in screen shots of keyword searches and the difference in results by Google's search engine in comparison to what is seen using the same keywords using other search engines. While the entire piece is a must-read, the lead-in to the screen shots, along with the images showing the contrast, below: The most striking of these results came when we searched for the words “girl says 3 shooters parkland,” expecting the news footage of an eyewitness from the school saying that there were multiple shooters. On Google this video did not come up, nor did any articles about the statement that the student made to the news, despite the fact that our search was extremely specific. Don’t be fooled by the top article “Calling B.S in Parkland, Florida,” it is an op-ed promoting gun control. gglparkland.jpg Whether one believes the information from the girl in the interview or not, is of no consequence. The fact is she said it, and Google is attempting to prevent anyone from finding something that should be publicly available and easy to find, especially using specific keywords. They are quite literally controlling what people that utilize their services are allowed to see. As ANP has highlighted previously, Google's video platform YouTube has done the exact same thing by removing any videos they do not want users to find, the most recent example was when David Hogg, hailed as the "gun control student activist," was caught practicing his lines and being coached by a CNN reporter. Dozens of copies of that video, if not hundreds, were ruthlessly scrubbed from YouTube's site, with other video platforms being the only places that video can be found and shown to the general public. Now we learn that Google's YouTube will be adding "information cues," alongside videos they determine are "conspiracy." Those will contain links to what Google deems a "fact based" website to counter the information contained within the video in questions. Via Vigilant Citizen: After demonetizing thousands of channels (many of which were “truther” and “conspiracy”-related), YouTube is now taking further steps to fight undesirable videos. YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki announced this week that the video platform will soon begin displaying links to “fact-based” sites alongside conspiracy videos. Called “information cues”, these snippets of information will link to “reputable” articles in order to combat “hoaxes” and “fake news” stories (gotta use lots of quotation marks to highlight mass media’s biased vocabulary). Here’s how it will work: If you search and click on a conspiracy theory video about, say, chemtrails, YouTube will now link to a Wikipedia page that debunks the hoax alongside the video. A video calling into question whether humans have ever landed on the moon might be accompanied by the official Wikipedia page about the Apollo Moon landing in 1969. Wojcicki says the feature will only include conspiracy theories right now that have “significant debate” on the platform. “Our goal is to start with a list of internet conspiracies listed on the internet where there is a lot of active discussion on YouTube,” Wojcicki said at SXSW. – Wired, YouTube Will Link Directly to Wikipedia to Fight Conspiracy Theories We have to address the lack of intelligence in the decision of Google to use Wikipedia as a primary source of debunking or verifying anything. They are handy sometimes for quotes or sourcing to find original sources of information, usually more so when it is an uncontroversial topic, but on their own page they admit "While some articles are of the highest quality of scholarship, others are admittedly complete rubbish." They state on that same page "since Wikipedia can be edited by almost anyone anytime, articles may be prone to errors, including vandalism." They also advise readers "please do not use Wikipedia to make critical decisions." HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 'CONSPIRACY' AND A HOAX Please note how Google is attempting now to not only determine what is a "conspiracy," but how they are treating conspiracy theories as hoaxes or fake news. That is a very dangerous game to play, because a hoax is something put out that deliberately offers outright fake information to mislead people, where a "conspiracy," is questioning the official narrative. The CIA actually started pushing the "conspiracy theory" label as an attempt to discredit anyone that does question the official narrative. The fact is many "conspiracy theories" have later been proven to be true. One memorable example was how the MSM labeled Tea Party and Patriot groups "conspiracy theorists," when they accused the Obama administration and the IRS of targeting them due to their political ideology. Years after they were falsely labeled as conspiracy nuts, IRS official Lois Lerner publicly apologized for targeting Tea Party and patriot groups unfairly. Other "conspiracies" that were discovered years later to be true include, but are not limited to: MKUltra and their CIA mind control program; Bohemian Grove, where the rich and powerful go to misbehave; the CIA funding the Dalai Lama to undermine the Chinese Government; President Lincoln's assassination had multiple co-conspirators; The CIA's fake vaccination program; Operation Mockingbird - The CIA's control over the mainstream media; Operation Paperclip: The Secret Intelligence Program to Bring Nazi Scientists to America. Those are just a few examples of the many "conspiracies" that were later proven true. They also offer one of the biggest reasons why Google/YouTube, social media giants and big tech's censorship of any news that doesn't fit the official narrative is doing a massive disservice to all internet users, because any current "conspiracy" that later proves to have been true, means that it is Google/YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and other big tech companies that will, in fact, have been pushing "fake news," by automatically declaring them false, rather than treating them as simply questioning the official, approved narrative. RECOMMENDATIONS TO FIGHT INTERNET CENSORSHIP As always we would like to provide options, a way Internet users can fight back against this type of censorship. While we are encouraged that the idea of an "Internet Bill of Rights," is gaining traction to prevent big tech and others from discriminating and censoring Independent News and views and questions, things like that could take years to fully implement and enforce, and we need options now. Another form of censorship by Google has been Adsense program where publishers like ANP has seen the same amount of ads, the regular off-presidential election year drop of traffic, maybe 15 percent, yet the revenue has dropped by nearly 80 percent in comparison to what was brought in before the 2016 election. This has been noted by the majority of conservative or Independent News sites that supported Donald Trump in 2016. Independent Media Publishers: We can now comfortably vouch for a new ad service, Commodity Ad Network, that is geared toward Independent Media websites, as their first payment not only came in on schedule but was the exact amount their dashboard indicated throughout the first month, which doubled with one single ad, the pittance brought in by Google Adsense with three ads. They offer one banner ad per page. (Note- If after the first three months with Commodity, these numbers continue at this rate, ANP will be able to remove at least one Google ad, perhaps two. The ultimate goal is to be in a position where we can remove all three.) Independent Media sites can join here to start their way toward independence from Google. Future phases will include a social media platform, a search engine geared for Independent Media sites, and a video platform to replace YouTube, all without censorship. Another service run by people that believe in free speech and do not censor Independent News websites is Revcontent. Native ads, they pay on time, and require no contracts, and publishers are paid the next billing cycle. Advertisers: With Google manipulating search results, downranking conservative and Independent Media sites in their results, any drop in organic traffic means that advertisers are not receiving the amount of traffic they could be getting, since Google is blocking them from whole segments of the Internet. Google is also limiting what ads are being seen on those sites, which also damages advertisers that want their ads shown everywhere as part of their advertising goals. Being a new startup, Commodity Ad Network can offer those advertisers being harmed by Google's censorship practices, a whole new audience that Google is preventing them from reaching. Advertisers can join Commodity Ad Netwrok here. Search Engine Alternatives: For internet users that want to get the results they are searching for, rather than the result Google wants them to get, here are links to DuckDuckGo, Bing, Yahoo, Ask, StartPage by IxQuick. We highly recommend testing them all, then finding a favorite and setting it as their default search engine. Video Alternatives to YouTube: While it is still hard to find exactly what is needed in an embeddable format at the smaller start-ups, there are a number of things in the works. Social media website Gab just started their own Gab TV, where content creators can upload videos, with pro-members being able to livestream, without censorship. As of now there are no options to embed on external websites. D.Tube is another option, though they do need to work on their search functionality and streamline the joining process, they do offer videos that can be embedded. Vimeo is a service that does offer embed codes for websites that use clips. Natural News' Mike Adams has also announced a project called Real.Video, which will work differently than most video platforms and users can request an invite here. BitChute has seen a recent uptick of YouTube content creators who see the writing on the wall as Google's YouTube continues to purge accounts as part of their censorship agenda. BitChute does not offer embed codes at this time either. Social Media: After the massive Twitter lockout of conservatives, and the continued censorship practices by Twitter, with shadow bans, limiting the ability to share content that Twitter doesn't approve of, Gab.ai has seen tremendous growth in 2018. While the mainstream media continues to claim Gab is for the "alt-right," we have noted political ideologies from across the spectrum and they don't censor the left or the right. So far, they seem to truly be one of the few truly "free speech" social media sites. BOTTOM LINE The relentless attack on Independent Media sites, specifically those that supported Donald Trump for president in the 2016 presidential election cycle, continued not only unabated, but has consistently increased in intensity. Many Independent Media sites have started moving toward ad services geared to fairness in an attempt to generate enough revenue to first blunt the impact, then reverse the trend in order to be in a position to start removing ads from services that do censor and downrank Independent voices to punish them for their political leanings. Alternative social media platforms are seeing major increases just by offering true free speech. Video platforms are being created to offset Google/YouTube's censorship. Bottom line, things are looking up and moving at a rapid pace to prevent big tech from silencing our online voices.

CALEXIT’s Plan to Use the Kigali Principles to Break Apart the United States

By Dave Hodges

In Part One of this series, I noted how the Deep State has lost control of the country and many of the federal agencies that they once controlled. After years of controlling nearly every major federal agency, each department’s Deep State operatives are in panic mode. From discussions with two confidential and trusted sources as well as with Paul Preston, there is a clear picture that is emerging.  The Original Deep State Plan Designed to Bring About the Demise of the United States CALEXIT, it has always been about Calexit as the primaary way to break up the United States. The Deep State cannot count on the participation of the United States military in a coup against the elected government, even if Hillary Clinton had become the Commander-In-Chief. With the candidacy of the Donald Trump picking up steam in 2016, the Deep State and the globalists forged a joint plan to takeover the United States by inciting domestic unrest and then bringing in the United Nations to take control of the country under the guise of providing humanitarian aid. This plan was the brainchild of the globalists who were afraid of losing control of the United States because of the rising tide of populism. California was chosen as ground zero to act out the new United Nations policies called the Kigali Principles. These priniciples were negotiated with the United Nations by Samantha Powers on behalf of Obama and the Deep State. This conspiracy consisted of the following sequential actions which were to be carried out: Create massive domestic unrest in California stemming from CALEXIT and the absolute defiance federal authority which would cause the federal government to bring in its own peacekeeping force. Import massive amounts of MS-13 and ISIS operatives to form a 5th column headquartered in California but the subsequent and planned unrest would reach across the nation. For example, Minnesota talk show host, Kathy Rubio stated on The Common Sense Show that MS-13 had a massive presence in the Twin Cities after receiving paramilitary training in El Salvador. When violence breaks out, it will begin in California, but the rest of the country will be consumed by violence, all of which is designed to result in a United Nations intervention. California, by plan, would descend into absolute violence which is why the aforementioned terrorists were brought into the country in 2014 during the so-called Central American immigration invasion. I documented the increased presence and admittance of MS-13 into the US and this was made possible by a United Nations/DHS joint operation. Let nature take its course and then bring in the United Nations to subdue America. In Part Three, I will present the complete operational plan. ‘ There is no doubt that some will call this crazy conspiracy nonsense. Therefore, it is necessary to bring in the undeniable documentation with regard for the United Nations to spring into action and takeover this country by using a 29 nation security force headed by the Communist Chinese. Obama Gave Away the Sovereignty of the US In May 2016, the Obama administration approved a set of principles that gave permission for UN peacekeeping troops AND POLICE to use force to “protect” citizens in armed conflicts. The Blue Helmets of the United Nations are coming, and the American police force could now be a part of a global police force. And this police force will be brutal. The Constitution of the United States will no longer be in effect. In fact, in this scenario, we will soon discover the true purpose of the “snatch and grab” of the NDAA. The following is a word-for-word excerpt of what the United States and other member UN nations agreed to. This is a partial document which Obama agreed to which allowed UN troops to come on to American soil and initiate “policing activities”. I have discussed this before in previous articles and people are highly skeptical. Therefore, I have decided to include excerpts of the UN’s Kigali Principles which will put UN troops on American soil in times of trouble. The interesting thing to note is that the Trump administration does not have to approve the United Nations entering the United States. Obama has already guaranteed the UN that right and the right is irrevocable in the mind of the United Nations. U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power told a high-level U.N. meeting Wednesday focusing on the responsibility to protect civilians that the United States was “proud” and “humbled” to join 28 other countries that have pledged to abide by the 18 pledges. U.N. peacekeepers from these 29 countries are now required to act in cases where civilians are in danger. “The Kigali Principles are designed to make sure that civilians are not abandoned by the international community again,” she said, recalling how U.N. peacekeepers left Rwanda before the 1994 genocide and Srebrenica before the 1995 massacre. CONCEPT NOTE The Future of Civilian Protection in Peace Operations Endorsing and Implementing the Kigali Principles May 11th 2016, UNHQ NY Context

Protection of Civilians (PoC) in armed conflict is at the core of the work of the UN. It is a key responsibility for members of the international community. Since the genocides in Rwanda and Srebrenica, the United Nations has taken steps to ensure that peacekeeping is made more effective. Still, challenges in a range of conflict situations remain enormous. Peacekeepers are increasingly called upon to uphold the international community’s responsibility to protect civilians from mass atrocities. The tremendous suffering by civilians in armed conflict can be seen on a daily basis on your newsfeed; it is reflected in the morbid statistics of civilian deaths in conflict situations around the globe. In his latest report on the Protection of Civilians in Armed Conflict issued in June 2015, the Secretary General draws the attention of the Security Council to the deliberate targeting and indiscriminate attacks on civilians that have become a recurrent feature in many conflicts, resulting in increased levels of civilian casualties, displacement, and human suffering. The report highlights the challenges faced by humanitarian organizations to meet basic needs, including access restrictions and direct attacks against humanitarian personnel, supplies and facilities. The Secretary-General noted that prevailing disrespect for international humanitarian law by some States and non-State armed groups, and pervasive impunity for violations, have become “one of the most critical challenges for the protection of civilians.” In an unprecedented joint appeal on 31 October 2015, the Secretary-General and the President of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) condemned the growing lack of respect for international humanitarian law and the decline in protection of civilians in many conflicts. Together the Secretary-General and ICRC President urged States to make every effort, individually and collectively, to achieve political solutions to conflicts, exert their influence to ensure compliance with international humanitarian law, hold perpetrators of violations accountable, grant unhindered access to and protect humanitarian and medical personnel and facilities, and respond to the needs of internally-displaced persons and refugees. On May 28-29, 2015, Rwanda organized a High-level International Conference on the Protection of Civilians in Kigali in the run-up to the Leaders’ Summit on UN Peacekeeping. During that conference, Rwanda presented the Kigali Principles on PoC. A year later several countries have endorsed the principles. More are to follow. The Kigali Principles set out critical benchmarks for Member States to guide collective efforts in improving the capacity of peace operations to protect civilians. This event welcomes those that are ready to join the signatories of the Kigali Principles to do so in a public ceremony. The High-level Independent Panel on Peace Operations (HIPPO) report launched in June 2015 also contains valuable recommendations to the UN and its Member States regarding PoC. A closer look at how these recommendations are being implemented is timely. This event will address the state of play of the main recommendations and the Secretary-General’s reaction to it. There is also a need to pay special attention to the negative impact of misconduct by peacekeepers. The Report of an Independent Review of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse by International Peacekeeping Forces in the Central African Republic of December 17th 2015 illustrates the vulnerability of the actions by a few individuals that have a huge negative impact on the reliability of UN peacekeepers as a whole and additionally inflicts a huge reputational damage to the UN. The UN Security Council has taken steps to prevent and combat sexual exploitation and abuse by UN peacekeepers by adopting resolution 2272 on 11 March 2016. The High-Level Event of the UNGA on “The strengthening of the UN in international peace and security” forms the context in which this event takes place. High level participation from Member States, the UN as well as relevant think tanks and NGO’s will ensure an event that will take the commitment to PoC one step further towards implementation. On the basis of questions from the moderator, panelists will make practical recommendations to Troop Contributing Countries (TPP), the UN and other actors on the protection of civilians in armed conflict. Objectives/desired outcomes · More UN Member States join the current signatories of the Kigali Principles in endorsing these principles · The interactive discussion is an opportunity for Troop and Police Contributing Countries (TCC/PCCs) and other Member States to reflect on the Kigali Principles and consider how their implementation can best contribute to future efforts to uphold civilian protection mandates. It is also an opportunity to better understand the current and emerging challenges TCC/PCCs face with regard to protecting civilians. Member States are encouraged to base their interventions on the following questions relating to civilian protection and linked to the spirit of the Kigali Principles:

o The decision to ‘open the gates’ to civilians fleeing violence in South Sudan saved thousands of lives. However, UNMISS faces considerable challenges and pressures in providing ongoing security to civilians still taking refuge inside the POC sites. What can be done to provide security in POC sites and address internal and external security issues? o Sometimes peacekeepers have decided not to intervene to protect civilians who are under attack just outside their bases or they have retreated from areas rather than confronting approaching armed groups. This can be caused by a lack of clarity regarding the rules of engagement. How can TCC/PCCs achieve better clarity on the use of force to protect civilians (e.g. through better guidance or training)? o How can the UN strengthen its monitoring and evaluations of troops and police in the field and prevent such protective failures? o While civilians still bear the brunt of armed conflict there has been an alarming increase in deliberate attacks against peacekeepers. What can be done to enhance safety and security for uniformed personnel? o Following the pledges made at the September Peacekeeping Summit, what resource and capabilities gaps still exist specifically as it relates to protection of civilians? How successful has phased mandating been in narrowing the gap between expectations and capacities? Using the Kigali Principles as a foundation, concrete recommendations will be drafted on how Member States and the UN can improve their roles in protecting civilians…. The Kigali Principles were rehearsed, in part, during Jade Helm 16 (ie UWEX 16). One may wish to use the search engine on The Common Sense Show in order to discover how the Obama administration practiced military manuevers against “rogue and former US military personnel who were operating in a guerrilla war status”. Foreign troops were used in conjuction with the simultaneously release of the Kigali Principles. The following was Obama’s parting gift to President elect Donald Trump. From the United States Institute of Peace: “Implementing the ‘Kigali Principles‘ for Peacekeeping. … While they are framed around the protection of civilians, the responsible implementation of the Principles would address much broader challenges that undermine the effectiveness of peacekeeping operations conducted in volatile situations. December 14, 2016 This was the complete giveaway of American sovereignty by former President Obama and Secretary of State, John Kerry. Beta-Testing the Kigali Principles I apologize for the cumbersome nature of this revelation. However, past reaction has dictated that nothing be left to chance when demonstrating the intent of the United Nations with regard to entering the United States with deadly force. The Kigali Principles have already been established as a precedent by the Cook County Commissioners in Illinois as they participated in a Beta test of UN authority to act under the conditions set forth in this agreement. On December 14, 2017, The Chicago Tribune reported the following: President Donald Trump’s implicit threat to put the National Guard on the streets of Chicago to tackle the city’s violence problem attracted widespread ridicule earlier this year. But if the soldiers were instead wearing the sky blue helmets of United Nations peacekeepers there might not be such a problem, according to Cook County Commissioner Richard Boykin, who flew to New York on Thursday to discuss what he described as a “quiet genocide” in Chicago’s black community with the U.N.’s assistant secretary-general for peacebuilding support, Oscar Fernandez-Taranco. “The United Nations has a track record of protecting minority populations,” Boykin told Inc. before his meeting. “There was tribal warfare between the Tutsis and the Hutus in Africa, and they deployed peacekeeping troops there to help save those populations and reduce the bloodshed. We have to do something — black people in Chicago make up 30 percent of the population but 80 percent of those who are killed by gun violence.” Asked how that might differ from sending in the National Guard, Boykin said, “The difference is, I’m not so sure that the National Guard is so used to peacekeeping and a peacekeeping role: The U.N. is trained in this.” Newswire quoted The Common Sense Show reaction to this development: Newsire quoted The Common Sense Show when they quoted myself on this matter as they stated Hodges wrote about this just yesterday, in fact, saying: For years, The Common Sense Show has been diligent in exposing the existence of UN troops on US soil who are simply waiting for a pretext to emerge and enforce martial law as the opening salvo for the takeover of America… The Common Sense Show has learned from a previously utilized and high ranking and well–placed source, that occupation troops of the United Nations, stationed in Chicago plan to use the extreme tenets for the NDAA to indefinitely detain, without due process that they arbitrarily deem to be a potential problem. The list of detainees WILL NOT be confined to armed gangsters who are creating mayhem and murder in Chicago. The list of permanent detainees may include members of the Deep State opposition. O December 19, 2017, Newswire properly gave credit to myself and Steve Quayle for noting the presence of UN troops on US soil just waiting for the right moment to act. For the record, independent media journalists Dave Hodges and Steve Quayle have been warning about UN troops being unleashed on U.S. soil for many years. And for doing so, they have been derided as conspiracy theorists and lunatics…. Yet here we have an open admission by a Chicago Democrat that this is precisely the plan. It’s no longer just a theory. It’s an admission of the plan. It should be noted that Steve Quayle along with myself have taken tremendous criticism for our unwavering position that there were UN troops on US soil just waiting for the right opportunity to act. Well, they now have the right situation. Remember, CALEXIT in its final phase was to revert to being a protectorate of the United Nations. Conclusion The Cook County event was the Beta-test for the implementation of the Kigali Principles. This event was met with strong opposition. However, and no matter how unpopular the Kigali roll-out may have been in Chicago, the CALEXIT forces, dominated by the Deep State, have no choice but to implement them because if they are not successful in breaking apart the United States, these Deep State operatives are all headed to prison. In Part Three, the operational plan for CALEXIT and the breakup of the United States will be exposed.

Former Asst. FBI Director: Brennan and Obama were Committing Felonies… Not General Flynn (VIDEO)

March 18, 2018 by Jim Hoft

Former FBI Assistant Director James Kallstrom told Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures that there was likely a “big sign of relief” after Andrew McCabe was fired on Friday. Kallstrom went on to tell Maria Bartiromo that John Brennan and Barack Obama were the ones who committed the felonies and not General Flynn. James Kallstrom: My sources tell me [Brennan] was leaking almost weekly or daily, and he was taking that bunch of phony crap supposedly from Russia, and peddling that through the Congress and the media, he was one of the active people. I’ve known him a long time and I think he’s involved, and quite frankly, I think it goes right to the top, quite frankly. Maria Bartiromo: To President Obama? James Kallstrom: It goes right to the top, and it involves that whole strategy. They were going to win [the 2016 election], nobody would ever know this stuff, and they just unleashed the intelligence community. Look at the unmaskings? We haven’t even heard about that yet. Look at the way they violated the rights of these American citizens?… I hope Gen. Flynn sues a lot of people, because he was handled so bad… He didn’t lie to the FBI. They didn’t even interview him about a crime. They are the people who committed felonies, not the General.

In Rare Interview Kim Dotcom Says Obama-Jarrett are Directing Shadow Government From Their DC Bunker (VIDEO) March 18, 2018 by Jim Hoft

Kim DotCom spoke out against the Deep State in a rare interview this week. The YouTube video is going viral and was promoted by Julian Assange. This is an excellent, popular video on the deep state https://t.co/2AIzcDJaRJ  @KimDotcom — Julian Assange ⌛ (@JulianAssange) March 18, 2018

Kim DotCom believes Barack Obama and Valerie Jarrett are running a shadow government against the Trump administration from their DC bunker. Kim DotCom: what’s obvious here is there is a hidden agenda there’s somebody driving the Senior Executive Service and it appears at this time that that’s parked about two miles down from the White House in that bunker that Barack Obama built with Valerie Jarrett… The Senior Executive Service seems to have been put in place to stop any kind of effectiveness within the elected group of people that the people put in place. And it’s apparent with the current president that these people are pulling in another direction. Kim DotCom said 25% of the Democratic candidates in the 2018 election are intelligence community members, “Because the Deep state realizes we can no longer rely on our puppets.” This is a fascinating video – take from it what you will.

 Ezekiel 38:1-8
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.  (KJV)

'Army of Islam' would be world's biggest military

Turkey hints at forming 5-million-strong alliance against Israel

Published: 2 days ago

WASHINGTON – When Turkey’s semi-official newspaper Yeni Şafak called for urgent action in forming a 57-nation “Army of Islam” to besiege and attack Israel, a suggestion undoubtedly approved with at least a wink and nod by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, it would signal the possible intent to create the largest military force on the planet – one nearly as large as the total population of the Jewish state. The report came just ahead of the summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and was published under the headline “What if an Army of Islam was formed against Israel?” It was translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute. But it wasn’t a rhetorical question. It was actually a suggestion to combine the military forces of all Islamic countries to overwhelm the Israeli army in manpower, budget and equipment – even boasting with statistics. What do YOU think? Will Muslims join to create an ‘Army of Islam’? Sound off in the WND Poll On Dec. 12, 2017, ahead of the summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Istanbul, the Turkish daily Yeni Şafak, which is close to Erdoğan and his ruling AKP party, published an article titled “A Call for Urgent Action,” which also appeared on the paper’s website under the title “What If an Army of Islam Was Formed against Israel?” The article called on the 57 member states of the OIC to form a joint “Army of Islam” to besiege and attack the state of Israel. It notes that such a joint army will greatly exceed the Israeli army in manpower, equipment and budget, and presents statistics to prove this. It also advocates establishing joint bases for the army’s ground, air and naval forces that will arrive from all over the Muslim world to besiege Israel, while noting that Pakistan, as the only nuclear country, has “a special status” among the OIC countries. An interactive map provides information on military forces stationed in various locations and the role they can play in the potential joint Muslim attack on Israel. Much of the information in the article was provided by Turkey’s SADAT International Defense and Consulting Company, which provides consultancy on defense and warfare, both conventional and unconventional, and on military organization, training and gear. The company promotes pan-Islamic military cooperation. According to its mission statement, it seeks “to establish defense collaboration and defense industry cooperation among Islamic countries, to help the Islamic world take its rightful place among the superpowers by providing … strategic consultancy and training services to the militaries and homeland security forces of Islamic countries.” The SADAT company was founded by Erdoğan’s senior adviser on military affairs, retired Gen. Adnan Tanrıverdi, and is chaired by his son, Melih Tanrıverdi. Adnan Tanrıverdi served in the Turkish army’s artillery corps and is an expert on asymmetric warfare. He was dismissed from the Turkish military in 1996 for his Islamist leanings. In the report, Israel is described as “the outpost of the new Crusade and a dagger in the heart of Islam,” and “the eyes, ears and fist of the Christian World.” “If the OIC member states unite and form a joint military force, it will be the largest army in the world,” the newspaper report said. “These countries’ total population is 1,674,526,931. The number of soldiers in active service in these countries is at least 5,206,100. Their [overall] military defense budget, of $174.7 billion, is also worthy of emphasis.” It continues by contrasting the size of this potential Islamic force with Israel’s military capabilities. “As for Israel, it is significantly inferior,” the report said. “The population of this country, which attempted to occupy Jerusalem while surrounded by Muslim states, is 8,049,314. Note that the population of Istanbul alone exceeds 14 million. The number of soldiers in active service in the [Israeli] occupation forces is 160,000, and [Israel’s] defense budget is approximately $15.6 billion. The report suggested the formation of a “Jerusalem Task Group” to take steps to form an Islamic army that would besiege Israel. “In a possible military operation, the first step is expected to involve 250,000 soldiers, and the establishment of joint land, air and naval bases for use in the short term,” explained the report. It would include the mobilization of 500 tanks and armored vehicles, 100 war planes, 500 attack helicopters and 50 warships and submarines. Interactive maps provided information on specific bases and operations against Israel. “Turkey will serve as an important headquarters during the operation, due to its land, air and naval infrastructures,” the report continued. “The Turkish army, which carried out ‘Operation Euphrates Shield’ [in Syria in 2017] with great success, is now ranked the world’s seventh strongest army, and the second largest army among the NATO powers. Turkey has approximately 4,000 tanks and 1,000 war planes and other aircraft. Its navy made significant progress during the last years, with 194 vessels at its disposal.” The report also noted Pakistan, with its nuclear arsenal, “has important status among the 57 Muslim countries.” In a statement, Malaysian Defense Minister Hishammuddin Hussein described President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital as a blow to Muslims, and added: “The Malaysian armed forces are ready to fulfill their duty regarding Jerusalem.”

Edward Snowden: Facebook Is A Surveillance Company Rebranded As "Social Media"

by Tyler Durden Mon, 03/19/2018 - 11:00

NSA whistleblower and former CIA employee Edward Snowden slammed Facebook in a Saturday tweet following the suspension of Strategic Communication Laboratories (SCL) and its political data analytics firm, Cambridge Analytica, over what Facebook says was imporoper use of collected data. In a nutshell, in 2015 Cambridge Analytica bought data from a University of Cambridge psychology professor, Dr. Aleksandr Kogan, who had developed an app called "thisisyourdigitallife" that vacuumed up loads of information on users and their contacts. After making Kogan and Cambridge Analytica promise to delete the data the app had gathered, Facebook received reports (from sources they would not identify) which claimed that not all the data had been deleted - which led the social media giant to delete Cambridge Analytica and parent company SCL's accounts. “By passing information on to a third party, including SCL/Cambridge Analytica and Christopher Wylie of Eunoia Technologies, he violated our platform policies. When we learned of this violation in 2015, we removed his app from Facebook and demanded certifications from Kogan and all parties he had given data to that the information had been destroyed. Cambridge Analytica, Kogan and Wylie all certified to us that they destroyed the data.” -Facebook Of note, Cambridge Analytica worked for Ted Cruz and Ben Carson during the 2016 election before contracting with the Trump campaign. Cruz stopped using CA after their data modeling failed to identify likely supporters. Cambridge Analytica has vehemently denied any wrongdoing in a statement. In response to the ban, Edward Snowden fired off two tweets on Saturday criticizing Facebook, and claimed social media companies were simply "surveillance companies" who engaged in a "successful deception" by rebranding themselves. Edward Snowden @Snowden Facebook makes their money by exploiting and selling intimate details about the private lives of millions, far beyond the scant details you voluntarily post. They are not victims. They are accomplices. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/17/us/politics/cambridge-analytica-trump-campaign.html  …

PRISM's existence was leaked by Edward Snowden before he entered into ongoing asylum in Moscow. Microsoft was the first company to join the PRISM program. The NSA has the ability to pull any sort of data it likes from these companies, but it claims that it does not try to collect it all. The PRISM program goes above and beyond the existing laws that state companies must comply with government requests for data, as it gives the NSA direct access to each company's servers — essentially letting the NSA do as it pleases. -The Verge After PRISM's existence was leaked by Snowden, the Director of National Intelligence issued a statment which stated that the only people targed by the programs are "outside the United States," and that the program "does not allow" the targeting of citizens within US borders. In 2006, Wired magazine published evidence from a retired AT&T communications technician, Mark Klein, that revealed a secret room used to "split" internet data at a San Francisco office as part of the NSA's bulk data collection techniques used on millions of Americans. During the course of that work, he learned from a co-worker that similar cabins were being installed in other cities, including Seattle, San Jose, Los Angeles and San Diego, he said. The split circuits included traffic from peering links connecting to other internet backbone providers, meaning that AT&T was also diverting traffic routed from its network to or from other domestic and international providers, Klein said. -Wired "They are collecting everything on everybody," Klein said.

Exclusive: GOP Leadership Is Going To Fund Sanctuary Cities

Robert Donachie Capitol Hill and Health Care Reporter 10:45 AM 03/16/2018

Republican leadership is going to fund sanctuary cities in the must-pass spending bill next week, giving Democrats a huge victory while simultaneously undercutting conservatives who put them in power, a senior GOP aide told The Daily Caller News Foundation. WATCH, DONACHIE WALKS YOU THROUGH THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS BILL: “House and Senate leadership has rolled over and played dead on border security. When it comes to a border wall, they say it is not our problem. When it comes to funding sanctuary cities, they say it is not our problem. What they are essentially saying is we are going to pass bills with more Democrats than Republicans,” the aide told TheDCNF.This is a sign to administration that leadership doesn’t care what the White House wants. Even though GOP members ran on these issues. Conservatives mean it. The administration means it.” The White House is arguably more serious about immigration policy than any other campaign promise President Donald Trump made in 2016. Within his first few weeks in office, Trump signed an executive order in January 2017 to strip federal grants from cities that harbor illegal immigrants. A federal judge blocked the president’s move that November, arguing that the administration did not have the legal authority to cut funding that Congress had already appropriated. The battle between the administration and federal courts is still ongoing, but Congress has the means to end the debate, given that it has the “power of the purse.” Conservatives in Congress, along with administration officials, are currently lobbying leadership to stop funding sanctuary cities. The argument is if Congress stops appropriating the money for these federal grants in the spending bill, the court’s claim is undercut and the administration and Republicans could claim a victory. The government shelled out roughly $27 billion in federal grants in 2016 alone, according to American Transparency. The president himself called on Congress March 10 to stop giving money to cities outright disobeying federal immigration laws. “I’m calling on Congress to stop funding sanctuary cities so we can save American lives. The funding bill should not give precious can save American lives. The funding bill should not give precious and massive tax payer grants to cities aiding and abetting criminals,” Trump said at the rally for failed Republican congressional candidate Rick Saccone. “It’s what they do.” Funding sanctuary cities is not the only thing that will rile up conservatives in the omnibus bill, which lawmakers must agree on by the hard March 23 deadline. Early drafts of the spending bill, which are being kept under “lock and key,” a GOP aide told TheDCNF, include Planned Parenthood funding, Obamacare subsidies, gun control legislation, a large tax on internet sales, and a host of other policies completely against Republican campaign promises. “This is why guys like Rick Saccone lose. The expectations for Republicans to maintain control ought to be very low. Republicans want to run on this platform of tax cuts and ‘my name is not Nancy (Pelosi),'” national grassroots conservative organization ForAmerica President David Bozell told TheDCNF. “How much currency does the ‘we aren’t Pelosi’ have anymore? This is not 2012. These are base races. You have to have your base energized for you, and giving Democrats everything they want is going to keep base voters at home.”There is nothing preventing Republicans from being on offense on all of the key issues, like immigration, Obamacare, Planned Parenthood — all of them,” Bozell told TheDCNF. “You are talking about trillions of dollars that our representatives are spending under the cover of darkness. Their number one responsibility is to be stewards of taxpayer dollars.” Speaker of the House Paul Ryan’s office did not respond to requests for comment as to whether or not leadership is planning on allocating funds for sanctuary cities. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Israel destroys two Hamas tunnels: one in Gaza, one infiltrating Israel

The tunnel’s neutralization, which was accomplished by flooding it with material that prevents Hamas from ever using it again, was an engineering feat led by the Southern Command inside Israel.

By Anna Ahronheim March 18, 2018 11:01

The IDF destroyed two Hamas tunnels late Saturday night, including one that crossed into Israeli territory, the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit announced. One tunnel that was identified by the army several weeks ago ran from Rafiah in the southern Gaza Strip into the Eshkol Regional Council inside Israel. “The IDF foiled an attempt by the Hamas terrorist organization to rebuild an offensive terrorist tunnel in Rafiah in the southern Gaza Strip,” IDF Spokesperson Brig.-Gen. Ronen Manelis said. He added that the tunnel had not posed a threat to residents in the area. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised the army for destroying the tunnels, saying Israel will continue to act “resolutely” against any attempt to harm Israeli citizens by “systematically” destroying the terrorist tunnel infrastructure. “The time has come for the international community to recognize that the aid money for Gaza gets buried underground,” he stated. One tunnel was destroyed by flooding it with a material that prevents the passageway from being using again. That action was carried out from inside Israeli territory by the Southern Command. “The IDF has acted in its territory and defended its citizens and sovereignty, and while there is no intention to change the security situation, we are ready and prepared for many scenarios,” Netanyahu said. The second underground tunnel, in the Zeitoun area of the Gaza Strip, was destroyed by an Israeli air strike on Saturday night. Several other Hamas targets were also destroyed in retaliation for the placement of explosive devices on the border fence earlier in the day. “It doesn’t matter who placed the IED on the fence,” Manelis said, “Hamas is responsible for everything that goes on in the Strip. Israel will not allow Hamas to use the Gaza fence as a staging ground for attacks.” “Hamas invests enormous resources in building underground terror tunnels instead of investing in the Gaza Strip and providing welfare to its residents. The attempt to rebuild the tunnel shows that Hamas finds it difficult to accept the collapse of the tunnel project and continues to waste the money needed for Gaza residents to breathe,” Manelis stated. The work by the military to locate and destroy terrorist tunnels has “intensified” in the past six months, Manelis continued, adding this was the fourth time a tunnel was destroyed that infiltrated into Israeli territory. Several other underground targets have also been destroyed inside in the Strip. “We again received proof of the IDF’s effectiveness in thwarting the tunnel threat,” said Gadi Yarkoni, the head of Eshkol Regional Council. “The tunnel was located in time and did not pose a threat to our settlements. At the same time, its very existence is reminiscent of the fragile security reality in Eshkol, and we must be ready at any time for an emergency.” In February, the army destroyed another tunnel in the same area which crossed under the Kerem Shalom crossing that borders the Gaza Strip and Egypt’s restive Sinai Peninsula. Israel denied claims that the tunnel was used for smuggling, asserting Hamas intended to use it to bring terrorists and weapons from Egypt into the Gaza Strip for a possible future combined attack on the Kerem Shalom border crossing from the Egyptian side. Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman responded to the incident by saying Israel consistently destroys one Hamas tunnel after another due to quality intelligence and ground-breaking technology. “Those who thought they could hurt us by burrowing underground ran into an iron wall. Hamas has invested millions in their tunnel building project and now they are drowning in sand. I recommend Hamas invest its money into the welfare of its citizens because by the end of this year, its tunnel warfare project will be destroyed.” During the 2014 war, several soldiers were killed by Hamas terrorists who emerged from tunnels dug into Israel by the group, surprising the IDF and leaving residents of border communities concerned over the possibility of tunnels beneath their homes. By the time of the last cease-fire, the IDF said it had destroyed 32 tunnels that crossed beneath the border.

Importing Israeli Natural Gas Makes Sense for Egypt

The deal is politically fraught but could create an energy powerhouse.

by Robin Mills March 19, 2018, 5:00 AM EDT

The discovery of Egypt’s giant Zohr gas field in August 2015 was heralded as the solution to the country’s energy problems. So why did Egypt cut a deal this year to import natural gas from Israel, its former enemy? Dolphinus Holdings, a private Egyptian company, agreed Feb. 19 to buy gas from Noble Energy and its partners from Israel’s two largest offshore fields, Leviathan and Tamar. The controversial accord is but the latest chapter in an Egyptian gas saga that has gone from triumph to tragedy to tentative renaissance. Egypt’s problems with gas were long in the making. In 2006, Petroleum Minister Sameh Fahmy received complaints from oil companies that low regulated gas prices were making new developments unviable, while new industries gobbled up supplies. Investment dried up and production plummeted after the 2011 revolution. The pipelines through Sinai to Israel and Jordan were repeatedly bombed by insurgents and a lack of gas ultimately forced Egypt them to stop deliveries. And the two liquefied natural gas facilities, built by BG (now Shell) at Idku near Alexandria, and Eni at Damietta in the eastern Delta, had to stop exports. Gas cuts to industry, power cuts, and a turn to expensive oil for fuel compounded the country’s economic woes. The government of President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi was able to get a grip on the problem beginning in 2015. It raised the price it was willing to pay for new deep-water gas, trimmed subsidies to consumers, and began liquefied natural gas imports through floating terminals to feed a new set of quickly commissioned power plants and largely end blackouts. LNG purchases were expensive, though, at about $3.55 billion for the 2015-16 fiscal year, accounting for a large slice of Egypt’s $18.7 billion current account deficit. The fast-track development of Zohr, just two and a half years from discovery to first production, reflected the higher price offered for the country’s gas and the urgency from the government. Since then, it and other new fields from Eni and BP have greatly reduced the need for LNG, with expectations that imports will end entirely this year, and that there should be a surplus for export in 2019. Given that, what is the purpose of the Israeli deal? For one thing, Egypt needs to cover for future demand. The rapid decline of its underlying production and the surge in demand from its new power plants means that without new developments it might be a net importer again as early as 2021. It will have to manage its gas demand by turning to solar, wind and coal power, and a Russian-built nuclear power plant set to start only in 2029, if ever. Egypt also wants to become a “gas hub.” This concept allows a country to import, produce, consume and export gas and derive value from shifting between multiple suppliers and customers depending on the best price. The hub goal is strategic too. Getting Eastern Mediterranean gas to market has always been tricky, because of conflicting borders and two major diplomatic hurdles: Turkey’s non-recognition of the (Greek) Republic of Cyprus, and the lack of relations between Israel and Lebanon. On Feb. 23, Turkish warships prevented Eni from drilling a well to the east of Cyprus, claiming that the Turkish Cypriot part of the divided island should also have a say. And domestic political squabbling and indecision in Israel and Lebanon have deterred investors. Local markets in Cyprus, Israel, Lebanon and Jordan are fairly small, meaning that big fields need to supply Turkey, Egypt or more distant consumers. The finds to date, though large, are in deep water, and low gas prices in the past few years have made construction of long-distance pipelines or new liquefaction plants economically marginal. So, a viable export project requires aggregating gas from several rival countries and companies, using a mix of preexisting and new infrastructure. It is not surprising it has taken so long -- and is still shaky. Corporate rivalries also play a part. The Noble consortium faces a new competitor in Israel: the Greek company Energean, which, despite operating smaller fields, has competed aggressively on price, making it hard for the former to aggregate enough sales to go ahead with developing Leviathan. And Eni has just made a large discovery, named Calypso, perhaps as big as Zohr, off the southwestern coast of Cyprus, and would prefer to develop it via the Zohr pipeline and probably take some gas to its Damietta LNG plant. Eni has no particular reason to help the development of Noble’s gas, nor that of the smaller Noble/Shell-owned Aphrodite field, Cyprus’s first find, which is still undeveloped. The prospect of Calypso competition may have forced Noble’s hand in its dealings with Dolphinus. The apparent gas price agreed slightly undercuts that of Zohr. The current deal has attracted furious criticism within Egypt, where opponents of the project are unhappy about buying gas from Israel when their country is supposed to have achieved self-sufficiency. And the parties have not selected an export route: whether to go via Jordan (whose own gas imports from Israel have also attracted protests), to try to resurrect the much-bombed pipeline from Ashkelon to El Arish, or to build a new underwater pipeline bypassing the troubled north Sinai. Between them, Egypt’s two LNG plants can export about 7.5 billion cubic meters of natural gas a year. The agreed Dolphinus supply is 64 billion cubic meters over about a decade, which, if it isn’t required for domestic use, would allow the LNG facilities to operate at near full capacity. Adding Cyprus’s new finds to the mix could keep these plants running even as Egypt’s own demand rises. In 2015-17, Egypt quickly emerged as the largest of a group of new LNG importers. Its return to significant exports would help supply a market which tightened abruptly this winter. Another possibility is a deal with Saudi Arabia, which is short of gas despite its oil wealth, and currently discussing the possibility of LNG imports with Russia. Its robot-run new city of Neom is intended to be in the northwest of the country, adjacent to Jordan, Israel and Egypt. That might be a good spot to import suitably relabeled “Egyptian” gas. If Egyptians can overcome their discomfort at buying from Israel, they have the chance to secure their own future needs, and be the indispensable player in Eastern Mediterranean gas.

BDS

Angel Mas is president of ACOM, an organization fighting the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement in Spain. The views expressed here are his own.

Intersectionality is the unnatural alliance of seemingly incompatible groups that defend contradictory positions. They unite in their common hatred against western democracies and universal values associated with market capitalism, independent courts, parliamentary representation, rule of law, freedom of speech, worship and press and equal rights for all. One of the favorite “soft targets” of intersectionality is Israel, the right of a Jewish State to exist in freedom and security. To this delegitimizing end, neo-Nazis will operate hand in hand with Communists and anarchists, so-called feminists will demonstrate with Salafists, and utterly confused gay rights activists chant jihadi slogans. They say they target Zionists, but we all know they mean Jews. The compulsive obsession that targets one state, the only Jewish state, follows an ignoble tradition of harassment of one easily identifiable minority. Centuries ago, that bias used religion as justification (the people that murdered Christ). Later, nationalism was the excuse (the fifth columnists such as Alfred Dreyfus who betrayed the country, or hidden conspiracies for world domination by the Elders of Zion). The Nazis appealed to pseudo-science (the inferior, perverted race). Now the ancient sickly obsession uses Israel, the hatred against the Jewish State, as a catalyst. Nothing new either in the four Ds that summarise the means of the bigots: Demonize, Delegitimize, Dehumanize and apply Double standards to the national self determination of the Jewish people. That is what epitomizes the Boycott, Divestments and Sanctions movement against Israel. The BDS is a global phenomena that is born from the modern antisemites’ acceptance of the improbability of defeating Israel through military confrontation or terrorist attacks. The objective is the same: the annihilation of the Jewish homeland, “from the river to the sea.” But now, BDS tries to push the international community to condemn Israel as a pariah state and ostracize all those that support her: Zionists. Jews. BDS in Spain The delegitimizers, as old-time bigots, mask their thuggery, presenting themselves as victims and hiding their true intentions. They appeal to public feelings against oppression or abuse and the sympathy for underdogs and suffering minorities. In this global context, what makes the case of BDS in Spain unique? That all that antisemitic bias against a minority in the country is actually exercised from government institutions, by powers of the state. The BDS movement in Spain acquired its current virulence with the emergence of Podemos, a “Chavist” far left party financed by Venezuela and Iran. Podemos won 25 percent of the votes in Spain’s 2015 local elections. Before those elections, BDS was a marginal confederation of small groups focusing on academic and cultural boycotts of Israel. The core group that formed Podemos had been active in the BDS initiatives for years, and hostility against Israel was a top priority in their political agenda. As Podemos gained control of the municipal governments in the main Spanish cities, including Madrid, Barcelona, Zaragoza and Cadiz, the anti-Israel movement had access to multiple economic, human and organizational resources. When those far left groups occupied public institutions, they didn’t distinguish between their own sectarian agenda and the government’s agenda. Local administrations (provincial and municipal) formally joined the BDS movement and declared their territories “free of Israeli apartheid”. In effect, Judenfrei. Stickers were distributed to be exhibited in shops and offices, public companies were instructed not to work with Israeli firms or individuals and Spanish citizens suspected of being associated or sympathetic to the Jewish state were demanded to repudiate it publicly in order not to be excluded from social, political, economic and civic life. Combating the BDS Tide Podemos has driven over 90 such declarations in Spain in jurisdictions covering a population of over eight million people. Its plan was to create an oil spill of hatred reaching the majority of Spain in 18 months. This was an existential threat, and we had to act. But, frankly, not everybody, in Spain, inside the Jewish communities, in the political system, or even in Israel, saw the need for a decisive and urgent response. We, however, thought that underestimating the commitment and determination of our enemies was a mistake and that ignoring the phenomenon would not make it go away. We prioritized the fight against this menace and mobilized resources. We knew we needed a response combining political, media and lawfare initiatives. And we enjoyed the essential support of Jewish organisations in the country for that. ACOM centralized the effort of the response. More by default than by design: we were a public diplomacy group, but had to transform ourselves quickly into a lawfare organisation too. We are not litigious. We prefer to avoid any discrimination over a judicial victory against the boycotters. Political education and a media presence combined with the threat of potential legal initiatives prevented tens of additional boycotts. In that preventive effort, we have activists screening the activities of BDS gangs, their web pages, Twitter and Facebook accounts, distribution lists and chats. Early warning is critical. Many of their resolutions are formulated in secret and pushed forward in expedited votes. We have spent countless hours reaching to decision makers and community leaders who might have been fooled or misinformed. It is important to invest on exposing the true nature and objectives of BDS, and the legal implications of supporting their declarations. But sometimes, all that failed, and antisemitic resolutions are passed. In such a cases our last resort is litigation. It is sad for a minority to feel targeted and victimized by the state that is supposed to protect it. It is discouraging that it falls upon private citizens and organizations — and not the state attorney — to lead the defense against the abuses of public representatives and local institutions. And we learned that, in order to gain attention from our political system and social media, the cases had to be exposed first in the foreign press. The interest demonstrated by reputed international Jewish organisations also focused the attention on the discriminatory resolutions in Spain. No local boycott is too small to go unchallenged. BDS groups carefully manipulate the information reaching political decision makers, spend massive resources on media campaigns and are masters at social media intoxication. In general, pro-Israel groups are lagging behind in the application of analysis and action in those fields. When it comes to the public opinion, we decided to challenge the anti-Israeli narrative and terminology, even if at first it comes as a shock to the audience: generally accepted terms as occupied territories, refugees, or wall puts us immediately at a disadvantage in any debate. We also knew that the anti-Israel gangs hide behind the rhetoric of human rights, appealing to humanitarian ideals, manipulated international law and UN resolutions. We endeavor to present fact and correct the lies. We invest our efforts in exposing the BDS movement’s true ends: not a two-state solution, but the exclusion of one of the parties. Not a peaceful initiative, but one that glorifies violence. It is crucial to insist on the association of BDS with antisemitism and exposing its links to terrorist organizations. Emphasizing those links remain essential, as most BDS funding is public, in deeply rooted schemes with a network of associations and groups. They master the process of accessing state funding at all levels to feed an industry that employs hundreds people and would dwarf any privately sponsored response we put up. Cutting off that funding is key. We have so far obtained over 25 court resolutions against institutional (municipal or provincial) anti-Israel boycotts. The courts agree that local governments have no competence over these matters. More importantly, they also ruled that the boycotts are discriminatory, breaching constitutional principles and fundamental rights. Furthermore, we have moved from defense to offense, increasing deterrence. To end the impunity associated with illegal BDS behavior, there must be consequences: – We will keep on fighting boycott resolutions, but we will look to cut the BDS groups fundingWe are exposing their leaders to the criminal responsibilities associated with promoting hatred and antisemitism in Spain. Some people raise concerns about free speech in our combat to protect our civil rights. We are very clear: everybody, politicians in particular, are entitled to expressing their own opinions — opinions we might not like, or even those we might feel offensive. But institutions are not entitled to incite or discriminate. The state cannot favor or penalize citizens for who they are or what they think. We are not ashamed to demand court protection for that. BDS Fights Back After the initial surprise our vigorous actions created among the delegitimizers (up until then they had been used to social media monologues and boycotting immunity) we assumed they would attempt an aggressive campaign of slander, targeting pro-Israel activists and spreading libels against pro Israel organizations. A few weeks ago, a BDS group presented a criminal claim against ACOM and me. We are accused of illegal association and promotion of hatred. For over 70 pages, the BDS lawyer — formerly convicted on terror charges of cooperation with the ETA — delegitimizes Israel, demonizes its representatives and criminalizes anybody supporting the Jewish state. They paint our request for court protection as intimidation against the discriminators. The mob accuses the victims of mobbing. BDS bullies are offended by the Jewish refusal to accept helplessness. And, finally, BDS argues that our denunciation of the glorification of terrorism and promotion of violence is actually incitement of hatred against all Palestinians. BDS extremists do not tolerate debate and dissent very well. Their totalitarian instinct demands to silence, exclude and ostracize whoever does not submit to BDS imposition. They will bully and intimidate anyone daring to confront them. Those who despise our constitutional freedoms will try to twist those rights to silence a minority and curtail peaceful coexistence. Fighting BDS requires time, effort and resources. But hiding is not an option for us. This is the place where the diaspora contributes to defend the Jewish State, and by doing that, we also defend our rights as citizens of Spain. We were expelled 500 years ago, but that will not happen again. Not under our watch.

Navy Floats Idea of Atheist Chaplains

Tony Perkins · Mar. 16, 2018

If there aren’t atheists in foxholes, why should we put them in the Chaplain Corps? Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS) can’t imagine. Like most leaders, he’s astounded that the Navy is even considering letting someone who doesn’t believe in God join the chaplaincy. Three years ago, the idea was so absurd that even Obama’s military attorneys went to court to stop it. Now, with Secretary Jim Mattis at the helm, no one can quite understand why the topic is even up for discussion. The bizarre story line started in 2015 when Jason Heap tried to sue his way into the chaplaincy. Not surprisingly, the Navy rejected him because he planned to associate with two humanist groups instead of an actual religious denomination. Ultimately, the military ended up in court defending the notion that religious leaders should serve a religious purpose. It won. But this year, Heap is trying again, and according to Sen. Wicker, the Chaplain Appointment and Retention Eligibility Advisory Group is actually recommending the Navy accept him. Wicker, an Air Force veteran and member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, is doing everything he can to keep the application from moving forward. And he’s enlisted 22 other senators and 40-plus House members to help. In two separate letters to Navy Secretary Richard Spencer, both chambers explain how radically this would alter the Chaplain Corps. Obviously, the dozens of leaders explain, no one is saying that atheists don’t belong in the military. But allowing them to serve and allowing them in the pulpit are two different things.The Navy has sufficient authority to create programs for humanist or atheist service members,” the senators write. “The Chaplain Corps is not the appropriate place. The Chaplain Corps serves religious needs, not philosophical preferences. Approving a secular-humanist chaplain would open the door to other applicants representing other philosophical worldviews. Over time, this situation would erode the distinct religious function of the Chaplain Corps.” The idea is even more ridiculous when you consider that barely three percent of our service members even identify as atheist or humanist. To fling open the chaplaincy to any ideology or philosophy would fundamentally change an institution that’s older than the country itself! Not to mention, the House letter reminds the Navy, that “The Department of Defense’s own guidelines also reinforce the uniquely religious purpose of the chaplain corps, defining ‘religious organization’ as ‘an entity that is organized and functions primarily to perform religious ministries to a non-military lay constituency’ and defining a religious ministry professional as ‘an individual endorsed to represent a religious organization and to conduct its religious observances or ceremonies.’” Throughout the years, the Supreme Court has been clear, the House members go on, that “non-religious beliefs may not rely on the Religion Clauses for protection.” Groups like the American Humanist Association, which helped hatch this crazy idea, argue that nonbelievers suffer the same fear and pain that affects every service member. But isn’t that why the military has psychologists? And, as Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA), a reserve Air Force chaplain, pointed out, nothing is stopping atheists from visiting the chaplains who are already available. “No one is arguing that atheists do not have the same First Amendment rights of free expression as their neighbors of Christian, Jewish, Muslim or other faiths,” Wicker explains in a new op-ed on Fox News. “This is not the subject of scrutiny. The central question here is how an atheist chaplain can be expected to fulfill a role that, by its very nature, is supposed to serve the religious needs of our service members.” By definition, a chaplain’s duties are to offer prayer, spiritual counseling, and religious instruction. If that doesn’t disqualify a nonbeliever, I’m not sure what would! The Trump administration inherited plenty of messes from the Obama military — but this isn’t one of them. It’s time for Secretary Mattis to step in and protect the integrity of chaplaincy.

North Korean rockets fitted with nuclear weapons 'can reach central Europe'

The deputy director of Germany's foreign intelligence agency BND says he is 'certain' about Kim Jong Un's military capability. Ole Diehl, deputy director at Germany's foreign intelligence agency BND, apparently told lawmakers in a private meeting that he was "certain" about Kim Jong Un's military capability. But Mr Diehl also insisted the agency saw talks between North and South Korea as a positive sign, according to German newspaper Bild am Sonntag, citing sources. The BND has not commented on the report. A senior North Korean diplomat left for Finland on Sunday for talks with former US and South Korean officials, South Korean media reported. It comes ahead of a possible US-North Korean summit after President Donald Trump agreed to meet Kim Jong Un to discuss North Korea's nuclear disarmament. However intelligence analysts warned this week that North Korea has started testing a nuclear reactor that could be used to produce weapons-grade plutonium. Kim Jong Un is pursuing nuclear and missile programmes in defiance of UN Security Council sanctions and the North has made no secret of its plans to develop a missile capable of hitting the US mainland. The regime defends the programmes as a deterrent against perceived plans for invasion by the United States, which has 28,500 troops in South Korea.

Scientists reach 'significant milestone' in race to create the world's first quantum computer as they discover how to make atoms in silicon 'talk' to each other

Australian scientists figured out how to control quantum bits to make them 'talk'

To do so, they positioned the atoms precisely on a patterned silicon chip

This means the scientists are one step closer to achieving entanglement

Entanglement is an essential step to create a world-beating quantum computer

By Annie Palmer For Dailymail.com Published: 19:09 EDT, 8 March 2018 | Updated: 19:09 EDT, 8 March 2018

Australian scientists are said to have made a breakthrough in quantum computing after they were able to make two atom qubits 'talk' to each other. The study, which was led by researchers from the University of New South Wales, involved creating qubits by precisely positioning individual phosphorus atoms in a silicon chip. Quantum bits, or qubits, are a unit of measure for quantum information. Once positioned, the scientists were able to get the qubits to communicate and correlate with each other. The move is being heralded as a 'significant milestone' in the broader effort to build a world-beating quantum computer. Building a quantum computer has been called the 'space race of the 21st century' – a difficult and ambitious challenge, with the potential to deliver revolutionary tools. The team of researchers, which is led by Australian of the year Michelle Simmons, is the only group in the world that can see the exact position of their qubits, according to a release from the University of New South Wales. 'Our competitive advantage is that we can put our high-quality qubit where we want it in the chip, see what we've made, and then measure how it behaves,' Simmons explained. 'We can add another qubit nearby and see how the two wave functions interact' 'And then we can start to generate replicas of the devices we have created,' she added. The scientists were able to control the interactions between the neighboring qubits, so that they became correlated, or communicated with one another. They did this by placing two qubits 16 nanometers apart in a silicon chip. Using electrodes patterned onto the chip, they were able to control the interactions between the neighboring qubits, so that the 'quantum spins' of their electrons became correlated, said Dr Matthew Broome, a co-author of the study. 'It was fascinating to watch,' Broome explained. 'When the spin of one electron is pointing up, the other points down, and vice versa.' 'This is a major milestone for technology' 'These type of spin correlations are the precursor to the entangled states that are necessary for a quantum computer to function and carry out complex calculations,' he added. WHAT IS A QUANTUM COMPUTER AND HOW DOES IT WORK? The key to a quantum computer is its ability to operate on the basis of a circuit not only being 'on' or 'off', but occupying a state that is both 'on' and 'off' at the same time. While this may seem strange, it's down to the laws of quantum mechanics, which govern the behaviour of the particles which make up an atom. At this micro scale, matter acts in ways that would be impossible at the macro scale of the universe we live in. Quantum mechanics allows these extremely small particles to exist in multiple states, known as 'superposition', until they are either seen or interfered with. A scanning tunneling microscope shows a quantum bit from a phosphorus atom precisely positioned in silicon. Scientists have discovered how to make the qubits 'talk to one another A good analogy is that of a coin spinning in the air. It cannot be said to be either a 'heads' or 'tails' until it lands. The heart of modern computing is binary code, which has served computers for decades. While a classical computer has 'bits' made up of zeros and ones, a quantum computer has 'qubits' which can take on the value of zero or one, or even both simultaneously. One of the major stumbling blocks for the development of quantum computers has been demonstrating they can beat classical computers. Google, IBM, and Intel are among companies competing to achieve this. By enabling the qubits to communicate with each other, the scientists are now one step closer to achieving entanglement, which is essential to building a quantum computer, the Australian Financial Review noted. In the past, theories had predicted that two qubits would have to be placed 20 nanometers apart in order to correlate, Sam Gorman, another co-author of the study, noted. Instead, the scientists only had to place the phosphorous atoms 16 nanometers apart. 'In our quantum world, this is a very big difference,' Gorman explained. 'It is also brilliant, as an experimentalist, to be challenging this theory,' he added. Unlike traditional computers, which are bound to two different states, quantum computers are able to exist in multiple states at once. This allows quantum computers to process information at more than twice the speed and in a far more efficient manner. Seemingly every Silicon Valley giant has put down a stake in the race to create the first quantum computer, including Microsoft, Intel, Google and many others.

DARPA's Human 'Stasis' Program Sounds Like Science Fiction But It Could Save Lives

[HuffPost UK]

Thomas Tamblyn HuffPost UK5 March 2018

The idea of placing humans in stasis is one that has been explored in exhaustive detail through science fiction. Simply put it is the ability to quite literally press pause on our bodies and then wake up at an undefined time in the future. While many (mostly millionaires) have tried and failed to perfect the technology it’s something that the US Military is now taking very seriously. Its top secret research division known as DARPA has confirmed that it is now launching a Biostasis program where it will try to find a way of slowing the human body to an almost complete standstill. Why? Battlefield injuries are some of the most time-sensitive injuries there are as they so often pair both the need immediate attention and a dedicated field hospital. More often than not neither are close at hand, and so for medics who are out on the battlefield, the ability to pause the human body would become an invaluable lifesaving tool. “The Department of Defense refers to this critical, initial window of time as the “golden hour,” but in many cases the opportunity to successfully intervene may extend much less than sixty minutes, which is why the military invests so heavily in moving casualties as rapidly as possible from the battlefield to suitable medical facilities.” explains the proposal.

To solve this problem the program will turn to the humble tardigrade, an almost indestructible creature that has the ability to place itself in stasis allowing it to survive the most extreme environments. While a relatively easy job for the tardigrade, for humans the task is monumental. Not only do you have to find a way of slowing down the body’s cells, but you have to do it in such a way that they’re all slowing down at the same time. As such the program is still in its complete infancy. For now DARPA is only looking for proof-of-concept ideas, it’ll then progress through those ideas for the next five years until it can settle on one method that might work, and even then there’s absolutely no guarantee. If they do pull it off though, it could be the medical discovery of the century.

Hero dog, beaten and shot, protects boy from home invaders

Posted on March 9, 2018 by Dr. Eowyn | 32 Comments

Tracy Bloom reports for KTLA5 that a German shepherd was brutally beaten and shot multiple times while trying to protect his teenage owner, who was home alone when two thieves broke into the family’s residence in Des Moines, Washington. The home-invasion occurred in broad daylight about 12:20 p.m. on a weekday, February 21, 2018, in the 1400 block of South 234th Street. The heroic German Shepherd is appropriately named Rex, which means king. Des Moines Police Department Cmdr. Doug Jenkins said, “A 16-year-old boy who was home alone said he believed someone was breaking in. He heard noises and voices, ran upstairs and hid in closet. He continued relaying everything he heard on the phone with dispatch.” The teen was hiding in a closet with his dog, Rex, when the 2-year-old German shepherd ran downstairs to confront the intruders. The thieves beat the dog, leaving him badly injured. Even after being bloodied and hurt, Rex still had enough strength left to get back to the boy — his best friend — and protect him as the thieves proceeded into the bedrooms, including the one where the boy was hiding. The thieves opened fire, shooting Rex multiple times. He was struck in the neck, leg and knee, yet managed to survive. The boy’s aunt, Susy Cadena, calls Rex a “hero dog” in a GoFundMe page: “As they entered the room where my nephew was hiding in the closet, Rex came out with the little strength he had left in him and threw himself at them as he knew my nephew was in danger. My nephew was protected by his eternal friend until the last bit of strength he had in him to do what his unconditional, loving instinct told him to.” The intruders fled the home as they heard the sound of approaching police sirens. They were gone by the time responding officers arrived at the scene. Rex was taken to an animal hospital in critical condition and was later transported to BluePearl Veterinary Partners. Rex remains in the veterinary intensive care unit, but his condition has since been upgraded to stable. His owners, who have already spent $2,000 on Rex’s medical expenses, are trying to raise funds to pay for the surgery Rex needs to save his life. After just one day, Rex’s GoFundMe had surpassed its goal of $10,000. H/t The Goldwater ~Eowyn

Assault Weapons Preserve the Purpose of the Second Amendment

Banning them would gut the concept of an armed citizenry as a final, emergency bulwark against tyranny. Arguments about guns tend to suffer from two distinct problems. The first — and most obvious — is they quickly get screechy. The arguments devolve into shouting matches and temper tantrums. The goal isn’t to persuade but to mock and bully as if stigma alone can decisively shift the public debate. The second problem occurs when the debate gets too wonky. Charts and graphs fly across Twitter as if fundamental questions about liberty and American society can be answered by the right kind of cross-country comparison with Australia, Great Britain, or Switzerland. When facing the big questions about guns — such as whether America should “ban” an entire category of weapons (such as “assault weapons”) — it’s better, I think, to go back to the first principles embodied in the Second Amendment. At its core, the Amendment protects a person’s individual inherent right of self-defense and empowers the collective obligation to defend liberty against state tyranny. As Justice Scalia noted in District of Columbia v. Heller, this concept was fully embedded in the founding generation: And, of course, what the Stuarts had tried to do to their political enemies, George III had tried to do to the colonists. In the tumultuous decades of the 1760’s and 1770’s, the Crown began to disarm the inhabitants of the most rebellious areas. That provoked polemical reactions by Americans invoking their rights as Englishmen to keep arms. Related articles: What Would Realistically Happen If The US Government Started Seizing All Privately Owned Assault Rifles? SELCO: Types Of Real Survivalists —The Slaves And Servants Were The Most Common Any given gun-control measure must be evaluated against the background of those twin purposes. That’s one reason why statements such as “The Second Amendment was only designed to protect muskets” are so ridiculous. Imagine trying to defend your family with a flintlock pistol. The right of self-defense is best understood as a right of effective self-defense, and the tools for effective self-defense will evolve right along with weapon design and development. Any other conclusion leads to absurd results. Consequently, as the Supreme Court held, the amendment protects weapons “in common use at the time.” This means that if gun-control measures “freeze” the nature and types of guns that are lawful for civilian use, even as broader gun development proceeds apace, there will be an ever-widening gap between the capacity of a criminal to do harm and law-abiding citizens’ ability to protect themselves from that harm. It will also lead to such a yawning gap between citizen and state that private gun ownership no longer provides any meaningful deterrent to tyranny. Similar to Morphine: The Best Natural Painkiller that Grows in Your Backyard Wild Lettuce is also Known as Opium Lettuce. For a good reason. While it doesn’t contain any opiates, it has similar side effects when used – it acts directly on the central nervous system (CNS) to lessen the feeling of pain, just like morphine.

Giving you a quick, easy way to make your own life-saving painkiller, ready for when you need it. Click Here To Discover More. And this brings us to the two favorite targets of those who argue for so-called commonsense gun control — assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. While the term “assault weapon” is vague, we’ll define it as a semi-automatic rifle with cosmetic features similar to military weapons. They’re typically paired with high-capacity magazines. In fact, an “assault weapon” without a high-capacity magazine is little more than a menacing-looking hunting rifle. There are millions of assault weapons in America. The AR-15 is the most popular rifle in the nation. There are tens of millions of high-capacity magazines, and they’re extraordinarily easy to make. Both are unquestionably in “common use.” This means that the foreseeable criminal threat to you or your family comes from a person wielding — at the very least — a semiautomatic pistol with a high-capacity magazine. This is one reason that police typically don’t carry revolvers. Their own weapons of choice have evolved to deal with the threat, and if a person doesn’t “need” a high-capacity magazine to defend himself, then why do the police use them? If I use an AR-15 for home defense, then I possess firepower that matches or likely exceeds (given how rarely rifles are used in gun crimes) that of any likely home intruder. Limit the size of the magazine to, say, ten rounds, and you’ve placed the law-abiding homeowner at a disadvantage. Prohibit them from obtaining a compact, easy-to-use, highly accurate carbine, and you’ve ensured that homeowners will be defending themselves with less accurate weapons. The best weapons “in common use” would be reserved for criminals. This guy did something very sharp and inventive: His cellar had all the benefits of our great-grandparents’ root cellars, the American Army war bunkers, and the secret Viet Cong building method with none of their drawbacks. Watch the video and learn more! Moreover, an assault-weapon ban (along with a ban on high-capacity magazines) would gut the concept of an armed citizenry as a final, emergency bulwark against tyranny. No credible person doubts that the combination of a reliable semiautomatic rifle and a large-capacity magazine is far more potent than a revolver, bolt-action rifle, or pump-action shotgun. A free citizen armed with an assault rifle is more formidable than a free citizen armed only with a pistol. A population armed with assault rifles is more formidable than a population armed with less lethal weapons. The argument is not that a collection of random citizens should be able to go head-to-head with the Third Cavalry Regiment. That’s absurd. Nor is the argument that citizens should possess weapons “in common use” in the military. Rather, for the Second Amendment to remain a meaningful check on state power, citizens must be able to possess the kinds and categories of weapons that can at least deter state overreach, that would make true authoritarianism too costly to attempt. I fully recognize that there are many millions of Americans who flatly disagree with the notion that armed citizens either can or should try to deter tyranny. Either their trust in the government is so complete (or their sense of futility in the face of its armed might so great) that they don’t believe private ownership of weapons is a meaningful check on lawless government action, or they believe that the cost of widespread civilian gun ownership is simply too high to pay in exchange for a theoretical check on state power. That’s a debate worth having — in the context of a long-term progressive effort to repeal the Second Amendment. But for now, the Founders have settled the question. As Justice Scalia ably articulated in Heller, the Second Amendment was designed to protect what Blackstone called “the natural right of resistance and self-preservation.” Without access to the weapons in common use in our time, the law-abiding citizen will grow increasingly — and intolerably — vulnerable to the lawless. Thus, to properly defend life and liberty, access to assault weapons and high-capacity magazines isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity.

Fukushima eager to get kids in schools

By Masahiro Sakita and Kanako Ichihara / Yomiuri Shimbun Staff WritersIt has been seven years since the accident at Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Inc.’s Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, and more and more elementary and junior high schools are reopening in municipalities in Fukushima Prefecture where evacuation orders have been lifted. Yet as five towns and villages join the list this spring, bringing to nine the number of municipalities where classes have resumed, the number of children enrolled is less than one-tenth of that prior to the disaster. For municipalities in Fukushima, the return of households with young children is critical to recovery. Building new school buildings, offering free school lunches, launching pick-up and drop-off bus services — these hugely expensive projects to boost attendance hint at the desperation of local governments. Numerous kids bused in A “selection show” was held to choose new school uniforms last fall at the temporary school building for Iitate Junior High School, operated by Iitate village in Fukushima. The meeting was held so students could pick one of two uniform patterns newly designed for the school’s reopening in Iitate village this spring. Both uniforms were designed free of charge by famed designer Hiroko Koshino. When students modeling the uniforms appeared, cries of “kawaii” (cute) came from the audience. Students voted for such items as a navy blue blazer and blue-check skirt for the uniform. A new combined elementary and junior high school building, with construction costing a total of ¥3.5 billion, is ready. In the five municipalities — the towns of Tomioka, Namie, and Kawamata, and the villages of Katsurao and Iitate — where elementary and junior high schools reopen locally this April, the number of students expected to attend is 132. Of these, 75 are from Iitate. The number looks significantly higher compared to the other four towns and villages, but the majority of students will actually be bused in from the city of Fukushima, where they have lived since evacuating. They are not returning with family to their village homes. With few children returning, the five municipalities are reopening schools that combine several schools under one roof. An example setup is science labs and other rooms on the first floor, the elementary school on the second, and junior high on the third. As a result, there will effectively be only one school in each municipality. Thus, each local government utilized the national government’s reconstruction budget to construct the school buildings and improve their educational environment. Tomioka spent about ¥860 million on projects such as installing air conditioners in every classroom of its completely renovated school building. The town of Namie offers school lunches and other services free of charge. Despite such incentives, few children are applying. “There’s actually a sincere feeling of relief that the number of applicants wasn’t zero,” a senior official in one of the local government’s board of education revealed. “We can’t predict at all what lies ahead, and have no ingenious ideas to boost the number of kids.” In Kawamata, about ¥400 million was spent building a pool with a retractable roof. Fifteen students will return to school in April, but with none in fifth grade or under, the elementary school will be forced to suspend operations if no new children enroll in the 2019 school year. Local residents mobilize As long as the younger generations and children do not return, hometowns will have a hard time recovering. Those residents who have come back are mobilizing. This spring, Namie will open Namie Sosei Elementary and Junior High School. At the municipal housing complex nearby, there are currently 40 tulip planters lined up. Nineteen residents are tending to the flowers, which will be used to decorate the new school building and welcome the children. “The only people who have returned to the town are the elderly,” said Hidezo Sato, 72, chairman of the administrative ward headman’s association. “Having kids here gives us purpose.” To keep the school alive, the local government is also hoping to take advantage of help from local residents. Namie has built a “clubhouse” inside the school building for children to interact with locals. In Iitate, there is a plan to start “hometown education,” wherein elderly residents will be invited to teach kids things like how to make local dishes. Challenges lie ahead Even after reopening, the challenges will be relentless. Long-distance commuting by bus is one example. In the villages of Katsurao and Iitate, children will come to school from the places they evacuated to, such as Fukushima city, traveling an hour or more along bumpy mountain roads and other routes. It is quite taxing on children in lower grades, and many parents have voiced their concern. Eleven-year-old Sakura Watanabe — a fifth-grader from Katsurao living in public housing for disaster evacuees in Miharu, Fukushima — will commute by bus about 25 kilometers each way starting in April. She is currently studying at a temporary school building in Miharu and wished to enroll at Katsurao school together with her friends. But her father Masahiro, 42, a restaurant manager, voiced concern, saying: “I wonder if it’s safe to travel on those narrow roads. Will the younger kids be able to handle long-distance commuting?” The unease grows when considering other issues, such as the roads freezing over during winter. Ensuring high-quality classes In the four municipalities in Fukushima Prefecture where schools have already reopened locally, efforts are being made to ensure quality is maintained, despite low student numbers. An elementary school in the Odaka district of Minamisoma reopened last spring. This spring, 66 children are expected to attend. A multiple homeroom teacher system will be employed to run combined lessons in a school building for what had been four separate schools prior to the disaster. The sixth-graders have four teachers, one from each of the schools, and the other grades have two or more homeroom teachers. They give careful attention during class, helping students on the spot to work out the areas they struggle in. For certain subjects, classes are split and taught by academic ability. ICT (information and communication technology) education is also a draw. The school introduced 20 tablet devices that the children can use to record and review their performance in physical education classes and look up information for their studies. It is the only school in the city where an assistant language teacher is stationed permanently. Helping households with small children is also a challenge. Elementary and junior high schools in the village of Kawauchi reopened in spring 2012. Having started with a total of 30 students, it will have 64 when the new school year starts. But that is still less than 40 percent of the 166 that were there before the disaster. Compared to the fact that about 70 percent of residents returned to the village overall, households with young children are not coming back. For the 2014 school year, the village started providing ¥30,000 per month to subsidize high school students’ bus fares and lodging costs. In addition to offering free day care, it has set up a system to provide ¥20,000 in monthly aid to families with children aged under 3 who do not attend day care. Since the 2016 school year, the village has also begun efforts targeting ordinary citizens who live outside Fukushima Prefecture. It provides ¥500,000 in relocation expenses for single-parent households with children junior high school-age or younger, and introduced a system to subsidize rent. As a result of providing support for everything from finding a job to finding a place to live, seven households comprising 16 people have relocated to the village from Tokyo, Aichi Prefecture and elsewhere. “We promote the village as a place that puts effort into childcare and education,” said a village spokesperson. “Due to the slow return [of former residents], we want to actively attract city dwellers.” (From The Yomiuri Shimbun, March 1, 2018)Speech

Tepco's 'ice wall' fails to freeze Fukushima's toxic water buildup

Aaron Sheldrick, Malcolm Foster

OKUMA, Japan (Reuters) - A costly “ice wall” is failing to keep groundwater from seeping into the stricken Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant, data from operator Tokyo Electric Power Co shows, preventing it from removing radioactive melted fuel at the site seven years after the disaster. When the ice wall was announced in 2013, Tepco (9501.T) assured skeptics that it would limit the flow of groundwater into the plant’s basements, where it mixes with highly radioactive debris from the site’s reactors, to “nearly nothing.” However, since the ice wall became fully operational at the end of August, an average of 141 metric tonnes a day of water has seeped into the reactor and turbine areas, more than the average of 132 metric tonnes a day during the prior nine months, a Reuters analysis of the Tepco data showed. The groundwater seepage has delayed Tepco’s clean-up at the site and may undermine the entire decommissioning process for the plant, which was battered by a tsunami seven years ago this Sunday. Waves knocked out power and triggered meltdowns at three of the site’s six reactors that spewed radiation, forcing 160,000 residents to flee, many of whom have not returned to this once-fertile coast. Though called an ice wall, Tepco has attempted to create something more like a frozen soil barrier. Using 34.5 billion yen ($324 million) in public funds, Tepco sunk about 1,500 tubes filled with brine to a depth of 30 meters (100 feet) in a 1.5-kilometre (1-mile) perimeter around four of the plant’s reactors. It then cools the brine to minus 30 degrees Celsius (minus 22 Fahrenheit). The aim is to freeze the soil into a solid mass that blocks groundwater flowing from the hills west of the plant to the coast. However, the continuing seepage has created vast amounts of toxic water that Tepco must pump out, decontaminate and store in tanks at Fukushima that now number 1,000, holding 1 million tonnes. It says it will run out of space by early 2021. “I believe the ice wall was ‘oversold’ in that it would solve all the release and storage concerns,” said Dale Klein, the former chairman of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the head of an external committee advising Tepco on safety issues. “The hydrology of the Fukushima site is very complicated and thus the exact water flow is hard to predict,” he said, “especially during heavy rains.” TYPHOON The water inflows often fluctuate with rainfall. The dry month of January averaged 83 tons a day, Tepco data showed. But when a typhoon struck during the last week of October, 866 tons a day poured into the reactors. Overall, Tepco says a combination of drains, pumps and the ice wall has cut water flows by three-quarters, from 490 tons a day during the December 2015 to February 2016 period to an average of 110 tons a day for December 2017 to February 2018. It is hard to measure exactly how much the ice wall is contributing, Tepco officials say, but based on computer analysis the utility estimates the barrier is reducing water flows by about 95 tonnes a day compared to two years ago, before the barrier was operating. “Our assessment is that the ice wall has been effective,” said Naohiro Masuda, Tepco’s chief decommissioning officer, adding that rain falling within the ice wall perimeter contributed to surging volumes. “We now believe we have a system in place to manage the water level.” However, a government-commissioned panel on Wednesday offered a mixed assessment of the ice wall, saying it was partially effective but more steps were needed. Controlling the groundwater seepage using the ice wall has been central to Japan’s program to show it had the Fukushima decommissioning in hand. The barrier was announced just days before Tokyo won the bid to host the 2020 Summer Olympics and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe declared that Fukushima was “under control” in his final pitch to the International Olympic Committee. In addition to the building costs, the ice wall needs an estimated 44 million kilowatt hours of electricity a year to run, enough to power about 15,000 typical Japanese homes. (For a graphic on Fukushima's "ice wall" click tmsnrt.rs/2tqxK1k) NO MORE SPACE Meanwhile, Tepco must decide how to cope with the growing volume of water stored on site. The purification process removes 62 radioactive elements from the contaminated water but it leaves tritium, a mildly radioactive element that is difficult to separate from water. Not considered harmful in low doses, tritium is released into oceans and rivers by nuclear plants around the world at various national standard levels. But local residents, particularly fishermen, oppose ocean releases because they fear it will keep consumers from buying Fukushima products. Many countries, including South Korea and China, still have restrictions on produce from Fukushima and neighboring areas. A government-commissioned task force is examining five options for disposing of the tritium-laced water, including ocean releases, though no decision has been made. Ken Buesseler, a radiochemist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in the United States, suggests that Tepco should open the tanks to external inspections to see if the water is safe. “From the public’s viewpoint, I think they’d want a bit of independent confirmation,” Buesseler said. “It’s no harder and a lot cheaper than building an ice wall.”

Newly-found 'super-deep diamond' in Africa contains a rare Earth mineral never seen before on our planet

Researchers found the mineral in a diamond at South Africa's Cullinan Mine

The mine is known as the source for two diamonds in the British Crown Jewels

The mineral, calcium silicate perovskite, is Earth's fourth most abundant mineral

It was mined less than one kilometre (0.62 miles) beneath Earth's crust

The finding provides proof of the recycling of oceanic crust into Earth's lower mantle and the fate of oceanic plates as they descend into the depths of Earth

By Cecile Borkhataria For MailonlinePublished: 11:47 EDT, 8 March 2018 | Updated: 15:04 EDT, 8 March 2018

A never-before-seen mineral has been discovered in a stunning 'super-deep diamond' formed in the Earth's mantle. Calcium silicate perovskite is usually buried 400 miles below the surface and is thought to be the planet’s fourth most abundant mineral. The researchers found the mineral within a tiny diamond mined less than one kilometre (0.62 miles) beneath Earth's crust, at South Africa's famous Cullan Mine, best known as the source for two of the largest diamonds in the British Crown Jewels. The researchers say that the finding provides proof that slabs of oceanic crust that sink deep within the Earth are recycled into the lower mantle. 'Nobody has ever managed to keep this mineral stable at the Earth's surface,' said Dr Graham Pearson, a professor in the University of Alberta's Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences and one of the best known diamond researchers in the world. He explained the mineral is normally found deep inside Earth's mantle, at 700 kilometres (435 miles). 'The only possible way of preserving this mineral at the Earth's surface is when it's trapped in an unyielding container like a diamond,' he explained. 'Based on our findings, there could be as much as zetta tonnes (1021) of this perovskite in deep Earth.' Dr Pearson and research colleagues from the University of British Columbia and other institutions analysed the diamond, which measures about three millimetres (0.12 inches) across, and published their findings in the journal Nature. According to the study, 'laboratory experiments and seismology data have created a clear theoretical picture of the most abundant mineral that comprise the deeper parts of the Earth's mantle.' But it's the discoveries of some of these minerals in 'super-deep' diamonds - formed between two hundred and about one thousand kilometres (124 - 621 miles) into Earth's lower mantle - that have confirmed part of this picture. Dr Pearson explained that the diamonds from the Cullinan Mine are among not only the most commercially valuable in the world, but they are also the most scientifically valuable, providing insight into the deepest parts of Earth's core. He said that the diamond they found would have sustained more than 24 billion pascals of pressure, equivalent to the pressure of 240,000 atmosphere. The researchers estimate that the diamond originated about 700 kilometres (435 miles) below Earth's surface, whereas most diamonds are formed at a depth of 150 to 200 kilometres (93 - 124 miles). 'Diamonds are really unique ways of seeing what's in the Earth,' said Dr Pearson. 'And the specific composition of the perovskite inclusion in this particular diamond very clearly indicates the recycling of oceanic crust into Earth's lower mantle. 'It provides fundamental proof of what happens to the fate of oceanic plates as they descend into the depths of the Earth.' He said that the discovery once again highlights the uniqueness of diamonds being able to preserve things that we otherwise would never be able to see. 'And it's a nice illustration of how science works,' said Dr Peason. 'That you build on theoretical predictions in this case from seismology and that once in a while you're able to make a clinching observation that really proves that the theory works,' he said. Dr Peason, Canada's Excellence Research Chair Laureate, was also behind the major 2014 discovery of ringwoodite - Earth's fifth most abundant mineral - in a diamond that pointed to a vast reservoir of water bound to silicate rocks in Earth's mantle. Dr Pearson worked with an international team of researchers, including one of the best X-ray crystallographers in the world, Fabrizio Nestola from Padova, Italy, as well as researchers from the Deep Carbon Observatory in Washington, DC. This research also saw Pearson team up with colleagues from the University of British Columbia who together lead a program - the Diamond Exploration Research and Training School, part of NSERC's (Natural Science and Engineering Research Council of Canaca) Collaborative Research and Training Experience - to train the next generation of highly qualified diamond explorers. HOW ARE DIAMONDS FORMED? Naturally occurring diamonds were formed over 3 billion years ago deep within the Earth's crust under conditions of intense heat and pressure. These conditions cause carbon atoms to crytallise, forming diamonds. Diamonds are found at a depth of approcimately 150 to 200 kilometres (93 - 124 miles). Here, temperatures average 900 to 1,300 degrees Celsius, with pressures of 45 to 60 kilobars (which is around 50,000 times that of atmospheric pressure at the Earth’s surface). Under these conditions, molten lamproite and kimberlite (known as magma) are also formed within Earth's upper mantle, and they expand at rapid rates. This expansion causes the magma to erupt, forcing it to Earth's surface and taking along with it diamond bearing rocks. The magma erupts by forming a 'pipe' to the surface, and as it cools the magma hardens to form Kimberlite, settling in vertical structures called kimberlite pipes. These pipes are the most significant sources of diamonds, yet only about 1 in every 200 kimberlite pipes contain gem-quality diamonds. The name 'Kimberlite' comes from the South African town of Kimberley, where the first diamonds were found in this type of rock. Source: Cape Town Diamond Museum

The Collapse of Venezuela Was “a systematic destruction to seize our freedom”

by J. G. Martinez D.

Editor’s Note: As we begin to become more concerned about the possibility of our own economic collapse, it’s important to see what has happened in other countries. Today, Jose explains how the collapse of Venezuela was deliberately engineered to make the populace bend to the will of a dictatorship. It didn’t happen all at once and most people never saw it coming until it was too late, and they were starving, oppressed, and dying. ~ Daisy The Collapse of Venezuela Was “a systematic destruction to seize our freedom” In this article, I would like to expose how this government-induced collapse has affected the psychological health of the population. And I would like to make special emphasis on the word induced. The nature of the corruption cases has been so large, and the damage to our economy has been so wide, with such devastating effects, that there is no any doubt that this could never have been generated by ignorance, lack of the needed aptitudes and skills, or plain and simple negligence, nor combination of all these factors. This was a systematic destruction of our institutions, our government structure, and way of life, to allow the government, against the will of the people, to seize our freedom and our democratic system. What is a crisis? Let’s formally define what a crisis is. A harmful, hazardous situation lived by a person or community as a consequence of an unexpected and sudden change in their living conditions. This situation is a threat to their welfare; physical integrity, social and economic stability, and the usual way to face adversity. This can result that the person crashes down, or otherwise, gets their guts together to overcome whatever they have to face. As it can be supposed, the magnitude of the impact is proportional to the threat, to the personality and the previous mind and body health of the individuals, of the support they could have, and most importantly…of the preparedness level the people had. The impact has been divided by the experts into 3 stages: Stage 1: The Warning. This exists just when there is a previous warning between the initial awareness and the occurrence of the event, such as a hurricane. In this stage, the individuals shall be able to foresee the real dimension of the hazard to be able to act accordingly to mitigate or minimize the damage. In unprepared communities the impact is huge. In the case of Venezuela there were a lot of things people could have done, but in our society the concept of preparedness is almost unknown, and this can´t be addressed enough. Even those who were aware of the possible situations, like us, saw our preppings swept out in a few months. A dictatorship taking place with bloody and lethal force was something that, despite what some readers may say, was not present even in the worst nightmares of Venezuelans. Stage 2: The impact phase itself. The gangs took control of the food supply system, under the government’s eye in broad daylight. The military was designated via a presidential bill to seize food companies (including Cargill, and lots of other basic staples producing enterprises). The rationing became more and more common in the entire territory. Then a huge black market appeared, and medications and food disappeared suddenly. The military controlled a large corporation, CASA, in charge of IMPORTING food, instead of producing. Huge business and bribes are involved here, therefore this was, to my eyes, one of the main signs about what was going to come, and I was not wrong. But the reactions are as different as persons. My main reaction was to prepare a “vacation” trip overseas, as our preps were not going to be enough and my job was a waste of precious time. The salary wouldn’t buy two weeks worth of food (now it does not cover even a week). So I bought my ticket 5 months before the trip and dedicated my time to other online jobs paid in foreign currency, to survive a few weeks while I could settle down and get my family out. Still a work in progress, though. Having one of my most desired possessions in this world, a motorhome in good shape, would have saved us a LOT of money and it would be right now a very valuable asset. Renting an empty lot in a subdivision to park the RV, would have provided us a more solid condition to migrate. Stage 3: The aftermath. The common feeling among my former coworkers who are in the middle of the collapse who did not prepare (basically all of them) are now struggling, and I mean, REALLY having a hard time. Their salary is not enough even for food. The benefits, like a full coverage medical insurance that was once the envy of the rest of the working class, are now useless. Doctors have migrated, there are no medications in the private hospitals either, and the coverage is not enough because of the high inflation rates. Those who worked 11 hours a day without developing a plan B, relying just on the company work, are getting their backsides kicked, and I am not lying: they STARVE. Even with both of the adult members of the family working, their joint salary, benefits and special savings assignations the company provided (12,5% of the salary was additionally paid so the employees could have a savings ability) is not enough. A former coworker, engineer, and his wife, an engineer as well, told me via social networking that his family had been eating just white rice three days in a row. If this is not under your definition of collapse, then please let me know. The rationing that should be once a week is not arriving to them but once every month and a half of the previous amount if they’re lucky. People want to get out and can’t. They need to buy food and can’t. They need medical care and can’t get it. They need to fix their cars and can’t afford the parts, not even an oil change. Crime is rampant. Kids have been kidnapped at gunpoint from the doors of their schools. To me, this is the collapse. There was NOT any possible way to prepare for this, I think, other one than but bugging out outside of the borders of that politically-induced mess until the dust settles down. The reactions of the rest of the expat communities all over South America, the receivers of most of the Venezuelans who could leave, have been, in my opinion, appropriate. There have been blossoming NGOs to assist those who had to stay and those who are migrating in desperation. There have been people who fell into such deep depression that they have commited suicide. Every week the news reports one or two self-inflicted deaths. Official media is under heavy censorship. This is not something that you are going to see in the world media. In the hospitals, the children dying from malnutrition are registered with some other cause of death. Those pictures we used to see from Ethiopia, now we see it in the main social networks, but the children are white, with straight hair and clear brown or green eyes this time. But they are indeed starving, just like the Ethiopian people. What could be done? I am not the kind of person who stays sitting for too much time. I look for solutions to problems. It’s in my blood. I am going to be creative now, and you will have to allow it to me so we, as a prepping community perhaps could submit some solutions. (I am already working in a project with nutrition specialists, agronomical engineers, and some other people with more experience in this stuff than I have.) Everyone with a small plot should start to grow assorted vegetables and fruit, under expert advising, focusing on a short crop cycle. The same should be done with those with land suited to have some cattle, mainly goats and pork, as these are short cycled and abundant. People in the cities, living in the barrios who are still working for a so-called salary should pack up their families and bug out, heading to the fields and rural communities. Crime, crowding-induced diseases, lack of water, and the general environment of desperation are taking their toll on the adults’ and children’s psyches. It is better to get to some friends’ farm or cottage and help as much as possible to feed the family than to stay in a barrio under gang control. There have been shadowy reports about the gangs getting stronger, to the point they have actually taken young woman as sex slaves. The communities should organize themselves to avoid robbery of their production. This is now a more and more common situation. If someone grows anything in their backyard, neighbors will trespass in the middle of the night once the crop is ripe to feed their own starving children. This happened several times to one of my plumbing freelancers. He packed, sold the house in that crappy barrio, and went back to his original mountain place where he had a small plot on the property of his family, all of them farming people. Now they can feed their wonderful kids, they are healthy, and in a less populated, closer-knit community in their small original rural town. This was my advice to him, and it was great to see them leave and improve their life conditions. A local exchange trading system should be stablished in the communities, as the currency has no value. This is as old as humanity itself, I know. But now we have one advantage: we may stabilize and set up fair trades because we have access to information from other countries and their economies. In a town close to a river with pleny of fish, it should be cheaper than another one with lots of green hills for keeping goats. With a little research, a fair price for basic staples could be achieved. And last but not least, alternative energy production systems should be installed, the better systems with renewable sources that one can afford. I am a huge fan of closed cycle steam turbines. They can be fed with vegetable debris product of the cleaning and grooming of orchids and crop plots, and their output power rate is decent. Combine these with home made wind systems or small water steam turbines, and there is a lot of potential. And they can be made up with readily available parts: bike gears, 200-liter barrels, and old car alternators, farm equipment, old batteries, you get the picture. Someone close enough to your place needing light for the house, at night, could provide you with eggs for the week, and you provide power enough for a TV or a small fridge. Why this? Because our power grid is going to fail anytime soon. There is a union secretary in jail because he transmitted the warning. The government called him a traitor, accused him, and he is in the can now. Go figure. That is what preppers do, after all, don’t we? In our Venezuelan example, with a worthless currency these solutions could be life-saving.

Election interference ALERT: Google / YouTube now blatantly trying to steal the 2018 elections

Wednesday, March 07, 2018 by: Mike Adams

(Natural News) The realization is suddenly obvious: The Google / YouTube selective “censorship rampage” that has targeted conservative websites and content creators is a brazen, illegal scheme to interfere with U.S. elections and steal the 2018 mid-terms. (Related: Read 10 powerful things you can do NOW to take back your freedom from the “techno tyrants”…) The systematic silencing of conservative views is necessary, of course, for Democrats to win enough seats to gain control of the U.S. House of Representatives after the mid-term elections. Once control is established, Democrats will immediately move to impeach President Trump. Although the Senate would not likely prosecute that impeachment, the mere achievement of the U.S. House declaring “impeachment” would be enough to convince most brainwashed news consumers that Trump is somehow a guilty criminal (nobody will remember that Bill Clinton was also impeached by the House). From there, the 2020 presidential election is also stolen, and Democrats land their selected tyrant in the White House just in time for Ginsberg’s retirement from SCOTUS. Once that is accomplished, the effort to utterly dismantle both the First and Second Amendments of the United States Constitution / Bill of Rights will be placed on urgent priority. Before long, conservative speech will be criminalized, and following a carefully staged mass shooting of hundreds of schoolchildren — because of course when children are murdered, no one is allowed to debate the facts of what happened — all Americans will be ordered to surrender their firearms to the government. It’s all “for the children,” you see, and anyone who opposes the idea will be smeared as an evil person who hates children. Once that is accomplished, the “final solution” of the radical Left’s communist sweep across America can finally be initiated. Conservatives will be named “terrorists” and subjected to arrest, imprisonment or mass killings by deranged, lunatic Leftists who are ordered to purge the countryside in exactly the same way students at UC Berkeley called for the murder of conservative speakers. The Left, after all, openly argues that violence against political opponents is a perfectly acceptable way to silence them. Team Trump is already aware the technocrats are trying to steal the election This is the future for America that Google, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter are desperately trying to see play out. And to accomplish it, they’re turning to outright criminal fraud and election interference via selected censorship that targets pro-liberty, pro-America voices. Trump’s 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale is fully aware of the attempted elected fraud by the tech giants. Today he tweeted out a warning: “In public interviews, Parscale has argued that social media, not traditional media, was the key to Trump’s victory in 2016, and identified Facebook as particularly critical to the president’s success,” reports Breitbart.com. “His comment follows weeks of high-profile revelations about Silicon Valley openly limiting the reach of conservatives.” The tech giants are knowingly committing massive election FRAUD in advance of the 2018 mid-terms Make no mistake: The goal of the technology tyrants is the silencing of non-left-wing views and a blatant, criminal attempt to defraud the United States of America by interfering with the 2018 mid-term elections. Not coincidentally, this is exactly the crime that 13 Russians were recently charged with by Robert Mueller. The real interference, however, isn’t from the Russians: It’s from Google, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. Russia’s lame attempts at online chaos and disruption are nothing compared to Google’s deliberate purge of pro-America websites, video channels and voices. And the only reason Google is doing that is because Google is pure EVIL, and like all radical left-wing extremist groups, Google hates our Republic and wants to see liberty crushed into oblivion.

OBAMA ON EDGE: DOJ to Disclose Secret FAST AND FURIOUS Records After SIX YEAR Fight

posted by Hannity Staff - 3.08.18

The Department of Justice officially announced this week its plan to release previously unseen documents regarding the Obama administration’s ‘Fast and Furious’ gun-running scheme; saying they have reached a “conditional settlement agreement” that ends a six-year search for the hidden material. Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced his decision Wednesday night, confirming his agency would transmit the documents to the House Intelligence Committee in the coming days; adding “The Department of Justice under my watch is committed to transparency and the rule of law.” “Today, the Department of Justice entered into a conditional settlement agreement with the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform and will begin to produce additional documents related to Operation Fast and Furious. The conditional settlement agreement, filed in federal court in Washington D.C., would end six years of litigation arising out of the previous administration’s refusal to produce documents requested by the Committee,” adds the official statement. Operation Fast and Furious was a covert mission ran by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) that allowed Arizona gun store owners to knowingly sell weapons to members of Mexican drug cartels in the hopes of tracking the firearms back to Mexico. Thousands of guns went missing, with some showing up at crime scenes across the border.

Neither South Korea's Chung nor the White House said where a meeting would take place

Trump tweeted after announcement that 'great progress being made'

Kim has promised to freeze nuclear and ballistic missile tests until after talk

U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham warned Kim on Thursday that 'it will be the end' of him if he tried to take advantage of Trump

Announcement welcomed by leaders in Russia, China, UK and Australia

By Francesca Chambers, White House Correspondent For Dailymail.com Published: 18:53 EDT, 8 March 2018 | Updated: 09:22 EDT, 9 March 2018

President Donald Trump has accepted North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un's dramatic offer to meet, the White House has confirmed. South Korea's national security adviser Chung Eui-yong first announced the face-to-face and claimed it was due to take place by May. However, a statement from the White House did not confirm the two-month timeframe and said the place and time of the meeting was still being worked out. Governments around the world welcomed the announcement, with praise coming from the UK, Russia and Australia. 'President Trump greatly appreciates the nice words of the South Korean delegation and President Moon. He will accept the invitation to meet with Kim Jong Un at a place and time to be determined,' White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement a half hour after South Korea's announcement. 'We look forward to the denuclearization of North Korea. In the meantime, all sanctions and maximum pressure must remain.' Chung, who made the announcement on behalf of South Korea, led the delegation visiting North Korea earlier this week. The invitation to meet Trump was made to him directly by Kim. The foreign official said that Kim understands and accepts the fact that joint U.S.-South Korean military exercises will continue and that he also made promises to halt nuclear and ballistic tests until the meeting with Trump takes place. A U.S. official later said the meeting would take place in 'a matter of a couple of months' but did not commit the president to a face-to-face with Kim this spring. 'He conveyed that he wants to meet with President Trump as quickly as possible,' the senior official stated. The official said the stiff punishing actions on North Korea would also stay in place. 'At this point we're not even talking about negotiations,' the U.S. official said of a plan to hold North Korea to its word that it would freeze its illicit nuclear and ballistic missile development programs. President Trump reiterated the point in a tweet that followed. 'Kim Jong Un talked about denuclearization with the South Korean Representatives, not just a freeze. Also, no missile testing by North Korea during this period of time. Great progress being made but sanctions will remain until an agreement is reached. Meeting being planned!' the U.S. president said. The planned meeting drew immediate praise from other nations. A spokesperson for the British government said, 'The UK welcomes the South Korean announcement that Kim Jong Un has made a renewed commitment to denuclearise and will refrain from further nuclear missile tests while dialogue continues. 'We welcome the announcement of direct talks with President Trump by May and (South Korean) President Moon Jae-in in April. 'We have always been clear that we want Kim Jong Un to change path and put the welfare of his people ahead of the illegal pursuit of nuclear weapons. 'We will continue to work closely with the US, South Korea and the international community to ensure that pressure on North Korea continues and sanctions are strictly enforced until Kim Jong Un matches his words with concrete actions. We will continue to monitor developments closely.' Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov also welcomed the news, saying that Russia considers the move 'a step in the right direction.' He went on to express hope that an agreement would be implemented because it is 'necessary for normalizing the situation around the Korean peninsula.' Australia's former prime minister expressed surprise at how 'surprisingly good' Trump has been at foreign policy compared to his predecessors. Paul John Keating said the United States was directionless under the previous three administrations and Barack Obama blew an opportunity to reshape the world. On Friday Keating said he had not expected Trump to have 'such a pragmatic' foreign policy on China and Russia, and he urged the U.S. president to continue down the path he was on. Meanwhile, the foreign ministry in China - North Korea's key ally - said it hopes all parties to the will 'show their political courage' in restarting negotiations, and pledged its support in working toward that goal. Spokesman Geng Shuang on Friday said China welcomes and supports the 'positive inter-Korean and U.S.-North Korea interactions.' Geng told reporters at a regularly scheduled press briefing that China hope that all parties 'will continue to strive for the political resolution and lasting peace and stability on the peninsula.' News that Trump had agreed to meet the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un sent Asian stock markets surging and the yen tumbling. It provided a springboard for Asian markets, with Seoul jumping 1.1 percent and Tokyo ending 0.5 percent higher. Hong Kong added more than one percent, Sydney and Singapore each rose 0.3 percent, and Shanghai jumped 0.6 percent. Taipei, Manila, Wellington and Mumbai were also higher. Hopes that the two men could reach some sort of agreement also led to a plunge in the yen, which is considered a go-to safe currency in times of volatility and uncertainty. The dollar jumped to its highest level in a week. 'It's a big deal - there's no question this is a positive move,' Ian Bremmer, president of Eurasia Group, a political-risk research and consulting firm in New York, told Bloomberg TV. 'But also there is the possibility that it could go badly, that Trump could be embarrassed that they make an agreement that Kim Jong-un could backslide on.' Bruce Klingner, former head of the CIA division for the Koreas, also warned Trump to beware of Kim's siren song. 'Washington has fretted that Seoul's acquiescence to North Korea's Olympic charm offensive conveyed legitimacy to the regime and risked undermining international resolve to maintain pressure. The U.S. counseled its ally to exercise caution and move forward cautiously and only after lengthy preparations,' said Klingner, a research fellow now at the Trump-aligned Heritage Foundation. 'The Trump administration should take its own advice before it is seduced by the same sirens' song,' he said in a statement. The announcement on the White House lawn came hours after Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the U.S. was 'a long way from negotiations' with the North. Speaking to reporters during a visit to the African nation of Djibouti, Tillerson said the turnaround was down to the president. 'That is a decision the president took himself. I spoke to him very early this morning about that decision and we had a very good conversation,' Tillerson said Friday. 'President Trump has said for some time that he was open to talks and he would willingly meet with Kim when conditions were right. 'And I think in the president's judgment that time has arrived now,' the top U.S. diplomat said. Tillerson said the United States was surprised at how 'forward-leaning' Kim was in his conversations with a visiting South Korean delegation. He said it was the strongest indication to date of Kim's 'not just willingness but really his desire for talks.' Chung had met Kim earlier in the week in Pyongyang, the dictator's capital. After relaying parts of his conversation to reporters in Seoul and appraising South Korean President Moon Jae-in of the situation, Chung flew to Washington. At the White House on Thursday, Chung and other South Korean officials briefed the president and his national security adviser, H.R. McMaster, as well as Trump's chief of staff, John Kelly, his secretary of defense, James Mattis, the director of national intelligence, Dan Coats, and Vice President Mike Pence. 'I explained to President Trump that his leadership and his maximum pressure policy, together with international solidarity, brought us to this juncture. I expressed President Moon Jae-in's personal gratitude for President Trump's leadership,' Chung said at an outdoor briefing position that's typically used by lawmakers and organization heads who want to speak to the press after White House meetings. Chung says he relayed Kim's commitment to denuclearization. 'Kim pledged that North Korea will refrain from any further nuclear or missile tests. He understands that the routine joint military exercises between the Republic of Korea and the United States must continue. And he expressed his eagerness to meet President Trump as soon as possible,' the South Korean official said. 'President Trump appreciated the briefing and said he would meet Kim Jong-un by May to achieve permanent denuclearization,' Chung said. Trump had pre-empted Chung by saying that South Korea would making a major announcement this evening at 7pm EDT on North Korea. The president popped into the White House press briefing room on Thursday evening at close of business and told a small contingent of reporters who just happened to be present that an announcement was coming. The U.S. president gave no indication of what would be declared but suggested with the surprise appearance that the news would be positive. According to CNN, an excited president turned to Jon Karl of ABC News saying, 'Hopefully, you will give me credit.' White House press officers scrambled to make good on Trump's pledge, waiting until just 30 minutes before the time of the announcement to say where it would take place and that the update from would come from Chung. South Korea's Moon later said the planned summit will be a 'historical milestone' that will put the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula 'really on track.' Moon in a statement read out by his spokesman on Friday also complimented Trump for accepting Kim's invitation for a summit, saying the American president's leadership will be praised 'not only by the residents of South and North Korea but every peace-loving person around the world.' Moon is also preparing for a summit with Kim at a border village between the Koreas in April. Talks are a 180 from Trump's complaint last fall that Tillerson, his secretary of state, was 'wasting his time' with diplomacy. Tillerson had suggested that officials from the U.S. and North Korea sit down for talks without preconditions only to have the White House assert that a conversation would only take place if Kim agreed to abandon his nuclear weapons program. Tensions began to thaw as the Winter Olympics approached. The games, held just across the border from Pyongyang in South Korea, provided an opportunity for the two Koreas to renew ties. Earlier this week, Chung spent two days in the neighboring country that ended with a proffer to the U.S. to halt nuclear and missile testings and take up talks. Trump said Tuesday that a 'very good dialogue' had opened up with North Korea as he cautiously approached Pyongyang's proposition. He told reporters in the Oval Office that the conversations had yielded progress, striking an optimistic tone. 'We're gonna see. We're gonna see,' he told a journalist asking about North Korea's commitment to ending its nuclear weapons program if it no longer felt threatened. 'They seem to be acting positively, but we're gonna see.' The U.S. president said he wants to take the 'proper' pathway, which he suggested was diplomatic talks, 'But we are prepared to go either way.' 'And as I said, hopefully we'll go in the very, very peaceful, beautiful path. We're prepared to go whichever path is necessary,' he added. 'I think we're having very good dialogue, and you're gonna certainly find out very soon what's happening, but we have, we have made progress, there's no question about it.' That morning, Trump warned Kim, 'The U.S. is ready to go hard in either direction!' The U.S. president said then that 'possible progress' toward talks had been made, but it could also be a 'false hope.' On Saturday evening, Trump said that the North Koreans had reached out and his administration would be meeting with Kim's government. 'They, by the way, called up a couple of days ago and said, 'We would like to talk.' And I said, 'So would we, but you have to de-nuke, you have to de-nuke.' So, let's see what happens,' the president stated. 'But we will be meeting and we'll see if anything positive happens.' A National Security Council spokesman did not respond to DailyMail.com's request for clarification, and a senior official would not tell reporters during a call on Tuesday afternoon if talks were already under way. Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven offered Tuesday during a joint press conference with Trump at the White House to mediate talks with the North Koreans, if that is what Trump wants. His country maintains an embassy in Pyongyang and serves at the United States' protectorate there. Löfven said it's not up to Sweden to solve the dispute, however, he believes that the North Koreans trust his nation to act as arbiter. 'If the president decides, the key actors decide, if they want us to help out,' he said, 'we'll be there.' Other potential meeting places were the Demilitarized Zone, or DMZ, between North and South Korea, in addition to Seoul, Beijing and Tokyo. A senior U.S. official said Thursday evening that Trump had spoke to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. The official did not say if a call to China's Xi Jinping was also underway. Complicating a conversation between Trump and Xi was the U.S. president's announcement on Thursday afternoon that he was slapping a 25 percent tariff on imported steel and a 10 percent penalty on imported aluminum in an aggressive bid to prevent Chinese dumping and boost American metal workers. A week ago, Trump signaled his openness to a talk with Kim -- if it took place 'under the right conditions.' 'Otherwise, we're not talking,' Trump told United States governors. He commented that Kim 'wants to talk, as of last night' and said 'we want to talk also.' Trump went on to make a familiar complaint about his predecessors, blasting former President Bill Clinton and others for failing to keep North Korea in check. 'The Clinton administration spent billions and billions of dollars. They gave them billions. They built things for them. They went out of their way, and the day after the agreement was signed, they continued with nuclear research. It was horrible.' Continuing, Trump said, 'The Bush administration did nothing — both. The Obama administration wanted to do something. He told me it's the single biggest problem that this country has. But they didn't do anything. 'And it would have been much easier, in those days, than it is now. I think most people understand that. But we've been very tough with them.' Trump's administration has led an international charge to cripple North Korea's economy and bring Kim to his knees. The advance will not cease, the U.S. has said, until the rogue dictator abandons his nuclear ambitions. At his White House news conference on Tuesday, Trump said he believes that the North Koreans are sincere in their offer to halt nuclear and missile tests if the United States sits down for talks. 'But I think they're sincere also because the sanctions,' he assessed. 'The sanctions have been very, very strong and very biting. And we don't want that to happen. So I really believe they are sincere. I hope they're sincere. We're going to soon find out.' The Pyeongchang Games provided a long-awaited opening for the kind of detente that could lead to substantive talks between North Korea and South Korea, along with the United States and its allies. The two Koreas marched under one flag at the opening ceremony of the games, and Kim sent his sister, Kim Yo Jong, to the South to head the North's delegation. A South Korean envoy lead by Chung returned Tuesday to Seoul from a meeting with Kim in Pyongyang where the North Koreans are said to have offered to halt nuclear tests for the time being if the United States agrees to talks. North Korea also expressed its willingness during the two-day summit to put a total moratorium on its nuclear program if the South backs off from military behavior it perceives to be a threat. Chung said said that Kim promised not to use nuclear or conventional weapons against South Korea in the conversation where the two countries also agreed to open a hotline between their leaders 'to ease military tension and have close coordination' and meet for another round of talks in April. The next summit is expected to take place in Panmunjom. It will be only the third inter-Korean set of talks ever held and the first in more than a decade. The last time the rival countries held high-level talks was in 2007, when the North was under Kim's father's command. A summit in 2000 also took place while Kim Jong Il controlled the North. The elder Kim passed away in 2011, giving rise to Kim Jong-un's reign. Chung said Tuesday that the younger Kim, 34, said he wants to 'write a new history of national reunification' during a four-hour dinner this week in Pyongyang. Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, hailed the announced talks as a 'glimmer of hope.' 'It would of course be wonderful if we could see an easing of tensions because... the nuclearization in North Korea has been a source of great concern for all of us,' she said. Former NBA star Dennis Rodman, who has traveled several times to North Korea and is one of the few Americans to have met its leader, also praised Trump for his decision to hold talks. Rodman told The Associated Press he looks forward to returning to the pariah nation for 'basketball diplomacy' in the coming months. 'Well done, President Trump. You're on the way to a historical meeting no U.S. president has ever done,' Rodman said. U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham said in a statement on Thursday that he beckons peace. He also told Kim that 'it will be the end' of him if he tried to take advantage of Trump. Other senior US politicians were also skeptical, with Republican Cory Gardner of Colorado saying the 'price of admission' for Trump and Kim's meeting must be 'complete, verifiable, and irreversible de-nuclerization of the Korean peninsula.' Democrat Ed Markey of Massachusetts said Trump should treat it 'as the beginning of a long diplomatic process,' avoiding 'unscripted' remarks that could derail it. Meanwhile, Republican Rep. Ed Royce of California, the House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman, credited Trump and said that North Korea's desire to talk shows that sanctions are 'starting to work.' As the Olympics unfolded in South Korea, it was the United States that had loudly warned the world that Kim was putting on a charm offensive. Pence, who led the U.S. delegation to the opening ceremony, urged the international community, and South Korea, not let up on the North until Kim fully capitulates when it comes to his building of nuclear weapons. 'The policy of the U.S. is the denuclearization of North Korea. The maximum pressure campaign is going to continue and intensify. All options are on the table,' a senior official said of Pence's message to Moon as he departed the peninsula. The vice president announced during the trip, and the United States followed up with, a rigorous set of sanctions that the Trump administration described as the largest and most aggressive to date. Treasury blacklisted one person, 27 companies and 28 ships with the action it says was 'aimed at shutting down North Korea's illicit maritime smuggling activities to obtain oil and sell coal.' The sanctions hit entities in Taiwan, Hong Kong, China and Singapore and others. Steve Mnuchin, the U.S. Treasury Secretary, said that nearly all of North Korea's shipping sector had now been targeted. The total number of sanctions steps since 2005 has now hit 45 - with almost half of the actions coming since Trump took office. At a press conference later in the day, Trump said he'd make preparations for 'phase two' if the punishing actions are not successful, the outcome of which could be 'very, very unfortunate for the world.' 'But hopefully the sanctions will work,' he said during remarks at a joint White House press conference with the Australian prime minister. A senior administration official told reporters then, 'The president is clearly frustrated and rightly so over the efforts that have failed in the past and also over the uptick in testing and the advances we've seen in the North Korean program.' In his Tuesday morning tweets on North Korea, Trump said, 'Possible progress being made in talks with North Korea. For the first time in many years, a serious effort is being made by all parties concerned. 'The World is watching and waiting!' he added. 'May be false hope, but the U.S. is ready to go hard in either direction!' His comment suggested that military action against North Korea is still in his back pocket, despite the decreased likelihood of a confrontation. President Trump said Saturday evening during a roast at a dinner in Washington that's held off camera that he 'won't rule out direct talks' with Kim. 'As far as the risk of dealing with a madman is concerned, that's his problem, not mine,' he joked. Trump went on to say that Kim 'must be a fine man' and that his hardline against North Korea saved the Winter Olympics. 'Without President Trump and his strong attitude they would have never called up and said, 'Hey, we'd love to be in the Olympics together,' ' he recalled South Korea's Moon as saying. 'It was heading for disaster and now we're talking.' Diving off script in the 35-minute speech that was supposed to stay light and last approximately 10 minutes, Trump said, 'Maybe positive things are happening. I hope that's true, and I say that in all seriousness. 'But we will be meeting, and we'll see if anything positive happens. It's been a long time,' he said. 'It's a problem that should have been fixed a long time ago.' The insults Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un have hurled at each other: President Donald Trump accepting an offer to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is a stunning turn of events after a year of heated verbal warfare that included crude insults and mutual threats of nuclear attacks. While the move to hold a summit appears to be an effort to ease decades of animosity between the US and North Korea, it comes after months of the two leaders trading insults and Trump threatening to 'totally destroy' the country. From Trump calling Kim a 'rocket man' and 'short and fat' to the US President being labeled 'mentally deranged' there has been no shortage of nasty insults between the leaders. So ahead of the summit - for which a time and place is yet to be determined - here is a look at some of the more notable war of words between Trump and Kim so far. Short and fat: Back in November last year, Trump hurled an insult at Kim during a trip to Vietnam calling him 'short and fat'. 'Why would Kim Jong-un insult me by calling me 'old,' when I would NEVER call him 'short and fat?' Oh well, I try so hard to be his friend - and maybe someday that will happen!' he tweeted. He was retaliating after North Korean media had labeled Trump as an 'old lunatic'. Rocket Man: During his address to the UN General Assembly back in September, Trump said the US would 'totally destroy North Korea' if forced to defend itself or its allies. He also referred to Kim as 'Rocket Man' during his speech. 'The United States has great strength and patience, but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea,' Trump said. 'Rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime.' Mentally deranged: Kim hit back to the Rocket Man comments accusing Trump of 'mentally deranged behavior.' He said he would 'surely and definitely tame the mentally deranged US dotard with fire'. Trump responded on Twitter the following morning: 'Kim Jong Un of North Korea, who is obviously a madman who doesn't mind starving or killing his people, will be tested like never before!' Big button: Kim said that he has a nuclear button on his desk in his New Year's address this year. In the same speech, he also called for improved relations with South Korea and suggested sending a delegation to the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang. Trump quickly responded saying that he has a bigger and more powerful nuclear button. 'North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the 'Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.' Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!' he tweeted. Fire and fury: Ever since Trump was elected, the two leaders have traded barbs about threats of potential nuclear attacks. After North Korea announced they had tested a series of missiles, Trump said the country had best not make more threats or 'they will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen.' North Korea hours later announces a plan to launch a salvo of missiles toward the US territory of Guam, a major military hub in the Pacific. Other threats of nuclear attacks: Kim said in his New Year's address in 2017 that preparations for launching an intercontinental ballistic missile had 'reached the final stage.' A day later Trump, who was then president-elect, tweeted: 'North Korea just stated that it is in the final stages of developing a nuclear weapon capable of reaching parts of the US It won't happen!'

Russian Spy Ship Off Georgia Coast

Viktor Leonev currently sailing near Navy nuclear submarine base

By : Bill Gertz March 8, 2018 5:35 pm

A Russian spy ship is currently conducting surveillance operations in waters near a U.S. ballistic missile submarine base in Georgia, according to Navy officials. "We are tracking the Viktor Leonov's presence off the East Coast, much like we are aware of all vessels approaching the United States," said Navy Cmdr. Bill Speaks, a Navy spokesman. "We respect the right and freedoms of all nations to operate in international waters in accordance with international law," he added. A military official said the Leonov, a ship known for conducting annual forays near sensitive U.S. military facilities off the East Coast, is currently operating off the Georgia coast near Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, home to U.S. nuclear missile submarines. The ship for the past several days was located some 20 nautical miles offshore and has been closely shadowed by U.S. military ships and aircraft, including P-8 surveillance aircraft. The spy operations come days after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced Moscow's development of new and "invincible" nuclear weapons aimed at the United States. A video presentation during the Russian leader's speech showed a simulated multiple-warhead nuclear strike on Florida. Putin, in a speech in Moscow, also touted a new unmanned underwater vehicle capable of delivering a megaton-sized nuclear warhead against ports and coastal cities. Kings Bay is the location of Submarine Group 10 that includes six nuclear-armed ballistic missile submarines and two guided missile submarines. It is also the location of Strategic Weapons Facility, Atlantic, that is in charge of maintaining nuclear warheads for submarine-launched ballistic missiles. The Leonov has been tracked since January when it left Port of Spain in Trinidad and Tobago. The Leonov is part of a major increase in Russian naval activity around the world. Under the Trump administration, Russia and China have been elevated to national security threats after nearly two decades of a major focus on counterterrorism operations. Last year, when the Leonov was spotted off the U.S. coast, President Donald Trump told reporters in commenting on Russian election meddling, "the greatest thing I could do is shoot that ship that's 30 miles off shore right out of the water." The Leonov was tracked by Steffan Watkins, a Canadian security analyst who closely tracks Russian ship movements. Using the data provided by military aircraft electronic tracking information, Watkins noticed that several P-8 flights had circled over water areas directly east of Kings Bay on March 6 and a second series of flight slightly south of that area on March 7. "The most obvious purpose of the ship being off the coast is collecting signals intelligence," Watkins said in an email. "The ship is outfitted with more than antennas above the water line," he said. "Viktor Leonov is reported to have magnetic anomaly sensors, acoustic gear to profile American vessels, and have the capability to map the ocean's floor." The ship is likely mapping the paths used by submarines in or out of the base and that also conduct training missions in nearby waters. "It could be looking for uncharted cables that might be connected to previously unknown sensors, or DoD communications cables that reach across the ocean," Watkins said.

Guest Post: Russia Applauds Nuking Florida and Hillary Clinton Paid for It! – Jon Robberson

President Vladimir Putin addressed the Federal Assembly, including the State Duma Parliamentarians, regional governors, members of the Federation Council and other high ranking Russian officials in Moscow on March 1, 2018, eight days ago. His words, however, are timeless in their warrior-profundity and practicality for our future. The Speech: President Putin did not mince words and his words would have resonated with average Americans like a locomotive between the eyes. Except average Americans never heard President Putin’s remarks. Main Stream Media decided for you that Putin’s words and the video that he played to roaring applause from Russia’s elite, are unimportant, even while CNN, MSNBC and the networks carp and cry about purported collusion between President Donald J Trump and Russia. Collusion that never occured. What did occur was Vladimir Putin enumerating classified weapons systems (again to thunderous applause) that are faster, quieter, carry higher payloads and are so stealthy that any foe may be annihilated before detection of said weapons. Also, according to President Putin, “there is no range limitation.” Should Americans be aware of this? President Putin chatted almost casually about a new intercontinental ballistic missile that can circumnavigate the globe multiple times (if necessary) and employ new defensive platforms that leave current missile defense systems mired in The Cold War Era. Multiple roving cameras covered the large audience and there were innumerable expressions of satisfaction and even unconfined glee, among Russia’s elite; the power players’ celebration of a “regional power” graduating to back to its previous global superpower status. President Putin’s sentiments ran verbatim, “Efforts to contain Russia have failed. Face it.” He later remarked, “Nobody listened to us. Listen now.” Once applause and the obvious energy buzzing around Manzeh Central Exhibition Hall mellowed; the volume indicative of loud consensus that will certainly propel Mr Putin into his fourth term as Russia’s President (with an approval rating of 80%), once the hall quieted, President Putin asked that a queued video be played. While cohosting The Hagmann Report alongside Joe Hagmann on Tuesday March 6, 2018, I methodically went through a number of screen captures that tell the story of Russia’s aforementioned hypersonic missile making its way from base, to ignition, to implied destruction. The ICBM shot perfectly vertical into space and began its journey halfway around the globe. But first, back to Russia’s other new toys. Russia has been quietly and intensely in research and development since The United States unilaterally withdrew from the ABM Treaty in 2002. The results? In President Putin’s words, Russian weapons technology has developed to a place where Mr Putin promises a ,”decisive breakthrough.” After pledging Russian military might as a global balancing factor, he noted, “We’re not threatening anyone–Russia’s growing military might is a reliable guarantee of peace on our planet because it ensures the strategic balance in the world.” The new examples of Russia’s military advances include cruise missiles with “unlimited range.” Video footage showed underwater drones, launched from submarines, striking coastal cities. But the jaw-dropper was yet to come. The revealing of Russia’s military technological prowess had such an unusual air of festivity that President Putin even announced that there is a contest being held to name some of the new weapons systems! His message was twofold and clear: Russia has advanced weapons systems that American intelligence agencies and the average American main stream news consumer are totally unaware of. And any attack on Russia or her allies (think, Syria and Iran) will initiate a retaliatory strike from Russia without hesitation. As the video, charting the flight of the hypersonic missile played behind the Russian President, viewers witnessed the circumnavigational flight capability of said missile and the ICBM reentry, followed shorty thereafter by the separation of the nose cone, revealing a MIRV (Multiple Independent Reentry Vehicle) configuration. A strange anticipatory feeling then consumes the viewer. Until one realizes that the independent warheads are descending through the clouds, directly onto the state of Florida! As President Putin’s audience applauded their approval, I wondered, why Florida? The answer: total crippling of CENTCOM (US Military, Middle East Command) and SOCOM (Central and South America Command). But wait! There’s more! President Trump’s treasured Mar a Lago also lies directly in the path of the shotgun-like spread of warheads carrying 200 tons of destructive power each. I promised you that this has something to do with The Clintons; and believe me it does. Skolkovo Innovation Center: Malia Zimmerman, writing for Fox News back on August 10th, 2016 nailed Clinton cash directly to what evolved into President Putin’s confident remarks regarding Russian military innovations (and the perceived potential destruction of Florida). This from Fox News: “A 2010 program headed by then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to help Moscow develop a ‘Russian Silicon Valley’ may instead have drawn some of America’s biggest tech companies into ‘industrial espionage. Zimmerman continues: “Major US corporations like Boeing, Google, General Electric, Cisco and Microsoft – also generous donors to the Clinton’s family foundation – were solicited by Clinton to invest more than a billion dollars in the Skolkovo tech park, outside Moscow, formally called the Skolkovo Innovation Center.” Just to satisfy American tax payers’ curiosity, in fiscal year 2010, both Boeing and General Electric paid ZERO in Federal Taxes, leaving the American Middle Class, through their dutifully paid taxes, effectively subsidizing the venture capital that went to Hillary’s “Russian Silicon Valley” scheme! A scheme that The Russians, as recently as March 1, 2018 seem to have few qualms demonstrating could result in the global thermonuclear drowning of Florida! The Five Year Plan…or “Pay to Play” If you have not seen Peter Schweizer’s documentary “Clinton Cash” then you absolutely must set aside some time and view it on YouTube (before Google deletes it). He also wrote a smash non fiction book by the same title. Laura Italiano, writing for the NY Post on July 31, 2016 quoted “Clinton Cash” author, Schweizer as follows: “I think the idea that you’re going to help develop a Russian version of Silicon Valley, which, by the way, will be controlled by the Russian government, and then not to expect that the technology will be siphoned off for military uses, is incredibly naive.” In her concise investigative piece, Laura Italiano further quoted Peter Schweizer as saying,”Of the 28 US, European and Russian companies that participated in Skolkovo, 17 of them were Clinton Foundation donors.” (Emphasis mine.) The dangerous and quintessentially globalist approach to the traditional post-World War Two enemy of America was all part of a plan cooked up by then Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton and her Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov. These two infamously played with a handprop “reset” button in Geneva in 2009. So the EU and American mega-corporations would pound a big red “easy” button and help Russia get back on her feet (after the CIA took down their economy in the early 1990’s). Almost one billion bucks poured in. A cool million of which was handed over by Cisco, facilitating the money that would, over a five year period, expand Russia’s economic base from fossil fuel, natural gas, rare earth minerals and weapons manufacture into the 21st Century of supertech. The only problem was (is) what is known around think tanks and Pentagon environs as “Dual Use” Technologies. As the name implies (and Iran has demonstrated in no uncertain terms) nations must use extreme discernment when sharing specific technologies. Often civilian innovation and tech-breakthroughs can easily be transferred to military applications. Question: with all we have learned since 2009 from investigative journalists like Doug Hagmann and Dr Jerome Corsi, is it a stretch to assume that American military industrial complex-corporations like General Electric and Boeing would be attracted to signing onto the Clinton-Lavrov “five year plan” in order to gain front row access to the US Secretary of State? Furthermore, willingly joining Cisco in cutting multi million dollar checks…to future global competition. And since when does America engage in “five year plans?” The Fate of Florida The good news is that according to notes presented to me on March 6, 2018 by Doug Hagmann, “By 2012, US military researchers were warning that Skolkovo ventures include work related to Russian defense capabilities.” The bad news is that the interim period between 2009 and 2012 (let alone six years hence) may as well be eons when compared to President Putin’s uber-confident description of the new hypersonic missile system that, he said, “heads for its target like a meteorite.” Update March 9, 2018 11:41am EST: Dr Peter Vincent Pry wrote an excellent piece on the specifics of Russia’s nuclear capability that is posted at All News Pipeline. I highly recommend supplementing this piece with Dr Pry’s article.

Warning: China Is Close To Complete Domination Over 5G And Internet Of Things

Written By: Robert Kraychik March 9, 2018

NOTE: President trump blocked the Qualcomm takeover based on security concerns. China’s Technocrats are playing chess with a far-reaching strategy to dominate the system of Globalization, while America plays checkers, worrying only about the next ‘hop’. If the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) does not block the Qualcomm takeover, China will move into the vacuum and dominate the industry. ⁃ TN Editor According to Chang, Broadcom — a Singapore-based semiconductor manufacturer — will likely break up Qualcomm into constituent businesses if it succeeds in its attempted hostile takeover of its San Diego-based industrial competitor. Such a breakup, he added, would destroy America’s ability to compete in the development of cutting-edge wireless telecommunication technologies. “At this moment, the United States and China are competing to develop the standards [and] chips that will power 5G wireless communications,” said Chang. “5G will be much faster than the current 4G, and also 5G will have much greater connectivity. So most devices in your home, workplace, and car are going to be controlled by 5G. There’s only one American company that can win the 5G race, and that’s Qualcomm.” Chang added, “What we have seen is Broadcom — which is now a Singapore company [and] probably will domesticate into the U.S. — is trying to take over Qualcomm, and Broadcom has a business model that shareholders love because what they do is buy companies and break them apart [to] realize the underlying value that has been trapped in the pieces. That’s great for shareholder value, but it’s terrible if you’re trying to compete with the Chinese to develop 5G services, and Qualcomm is a national treasure because it has such an emphasis on innovation and patents, and that is why it is such a leader in global wireless.” Elaborating, Chang stated that “if Broadcom succeeds in taking over Qualcomm and breaking it up, Qualcomm will not be able to compete effectively against Chinese for 5G. That means the Chinese Huawei — which is nominally a private company but backed by the communist party — will win 5G hands down because there will be very little competition, which means that your toaster probably will be communicating with Beijing in the future if Broadcom takes over Qualcomm.” Chang added, “I’m a little bit uncomfortable with the U.S. national policy supporting one company, but, unfortunately, that’s the situation we now have. It’s either Qualcomm or the Chinese. It’s that simple.” In a column titled “Why the bid to buy Qualcomm poses a dire threat to US national security,” published Friday, Chang described the stakes of the developmental race to develop 5G technologies: “The company controlling 5G will control much of the world’s communications for a decade.” “The Trump administration should immediately step in to stop what is the first step of a hostile takeover,” wrote Chang. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) should review the tentative Broadcom-Qualcomm deal given that “the consequences of a successful Broadcom takeover [of Qualcomm] will surely be severe for the U.S.,” Chang also wrote.

Third Coastal Storm in 10 Days Could Affect the East Coast Early Next Week

By Chris Dolce Mar 8 2018 04:00 PM EST weather.com

Story Highlights

- The East Coast could be facing another coastal storm early next week.

- This would be the third coastal storm in 10 days, following Winter Storms Riley and Quinn.

- The magnitude of impacts, if any, from this third potential storm is unknown at this time.

March is off to a roaring start for the East Coast with two strong coastal storms in five days and another potential one looming for early next week. First was Winter Storm Riley, which brought destructive winds, heavy snow and severe coastal flooding to the Northeast late last week. Now Winter Storm Quinn will continue to dump heavy snow on the Northeast Thursday. (MORE: Winter Storm Central) After Quinn departs Thursday night, we'll turn our attention to the next potential East Coast storm candidate. To be clear, the impacts, if any, from this potential storm early next week are unknown at this time. Specifics on the forecast will hinge on how the upper-level weather pattern evolves this weekend. Specifically, the evolution of energy in the upper atmosphere that is currently thousands of miles away from the eastern United States over far western Canada. That energy will first bring snow to the Mountain West as it slides east on Friday, including the Cascades and the northern Rockies. Thereafter, the energy will spread into the eastern states this weekend, and, once again, low pressure could strengthen near or off the East Coast early next week. Some cold air should still be in place, partially due to the fresh snowpack from both Riley and Quinn. Depending on its location, strength and track, the low-pressure system could be yet another coastal storm for parts of the Eastern Seaboard. The setup is uncertain, so we do not know for sure whether there will be another round of snow, rain, coastal flooding and strong winds early next week in portions of the East. In general, a low tracking slower and closer to the East Coast would increase the odds of significant impacts. Conversely, if the low remains weak and moves progressively out to sea, that would prevent any harsh weather from occurring early next week. Neither of those scenarios or something in between can be ruled out just yet. In fact, model guidance Thursday afternoon widened the spectrum of possibilities from a coastal storm to a distance miss.

Thanks To Barack Obama, Russia Has Achieved The Holy Grail Of Nuclear Superiority: 'Escalation Dominance'

- Russia's New Third Generation Nuclear Weapons Have No US Counterparts

Submitted to All News Pipeline by Dr Peter Vincent Pry March 8, 2018

On March 1, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin delivered a speech that effectively declared Russia has overwhelming nuclear superiority and war-winning capability against the United States, NATO, and the entire world. While President Obama neglected modernizing the U.S. nuclear deterrent, questing for a “world without nuclear weapons” — Russia achieved what the USSR never could against any U.S. president during the Cold War, the holy grail of nuclear superiority, what strategists call “escalation dominance.” Escalation dominance means being able to prevail with superior nuclear capabilities in any crisis or conflict across the full spectrum of tactical and strategic possibilities. Dr. Stephen Blank, former Russian security studies professor at the U.S. Army War College noted that Russia’s strategy is “to demonstrate nuclear capability ostentatiously throughout all the stages of any crisis. Should war ensue, escalating to deescalate is part of that process … but … the broader strategy is one of escalation control to inhibit any Western response to attempted Russian faits accompli.” Escalation dominance also means being able to win without war through nuclear diplomacy, nuclear blackmail, and nuclear terror. Not just during crises, but in the daily lives of nations, states “surrender” to escalation dominance when awesome nuclear threats overshadow every decisionas in NATO’s virtual appeasement of Russian aggression in Crimea and Ukraine. Escalation dominance shapes the psychological geography of international relations and world order. While Obama was content to allow the aged and obsolete U.S. nuclear deterrent and the scientific-industrial nuclear weapons infrastructure to wither away, Dr. Blank describes the nuclear sinews of Russian escalation dominance: “At present, Russia is running over 20 production lines for short, medium, and long-range nuclear weapons that are to be tailored to any kind of contingency ranging from low-yield to high-yield weapons.” Russia has also deployed Third Generation nuclear weapons designed for special effects — like electromagnetic pulse (EMP), neutron and x-ray kill, and “fallout free” battlefield mini-nukes — that have no U.S. counterparts. Dictator Putin’s speech is an act of escalation dominance and nuclear blackmail aimed at the United States. His nuclear presentation began with a video of Russia’s Sarmat missile, dubbed by NATO Satan-II: a super-heavy ICBM capable of hurtling a payload 10-20 times heavier than the U.S. Minuteman, including 14 or more megaton-class warheads and penetration aids. Pavel Felgengauer, often a mouthpiece for Russia’s general staff, provided additional details in a March 1 article, writing, “Sarmat will have an ‘unlimited range’ thanks to taking a so-called suborbital trajectory. While ... ICBMs launched from Russia at the U.S. would have traveled over the North Pole, the Sarmat will pass above the South Pole to arrive from ‘the other side’ thus baffling U.S. missile defenses.” Satan-II is probably capable of delivering Russia’s new 100-megaton warhead on a south polar trajectory to make a surprise EMP attack blacking-out North America, simultaneously destroying satellites vital to U.S. military and economic power. Another super-weapon revealed by Putin is a hypersonic maneuverable warhead called Avangard. Felgengauer: “Such a warhead may be attached essentially to any ICBM. During reentry, it will perform high-speed maneuvers to avoid U.S. missile defense systems and then successfully home in to kill its designated target.” Avangard can impart to Russian ICBMs cruise missile-type accuracy, striking bullseye or a few meters from target. Avangard accuracy would enable Russian ICBMs to destroy U.S. hard targets, like missile silos, with a single very low-yield or even non-nuclear warhead. Theoretically, just 30 Satan-IIs armed with 15 Avangard warheads could destroy all 450 Minuteman silos — a kill ratio of 15-to-1. If low-yield or non-nuclear warheads are used, Russia could make a disarming first strike cleanly, causing little collateral damage and few civilian casualties. Another Russian super-weapon confirmed by Putin is a robot submarine armed with a single enormous nuclear warhead for detonation underwater, to destroy aircraft carrier groups, submarines, or inundate cities, described by Felgengauer as an “unmanned doomsday drone.” Called “Kanyon” by the Pentagon and “Ocean Multipurpose System Status-6” by the Kremlin, according to Felgengauer: “The underwater autonomous torpedo can travel at speeds of up to 85 kilometers per hour (some 56 knots), go as deep as one kilometer, and has a range of up to 10,000 kilometers ... The drone may carry a massive warhead of up to 100 megatons and is designed to destroy, according to Putin, U.S. aircraft carrier groups or ‘coastal infrastructure.’” Nuclear shockwaves travel much faster and further underwater than through air. So Kanyon’s kill radius against U.S. carriers and submarines is enormous. U.S. missile submarines at sea were the only Triad deterrent relatively invulnerable during the Cold War. Felgengauer describes Kanyon’s potential if used for doomsday: “The blast would create a gigantic radioactive tsunami, destroying and contaminating large stretches of densely populated U.S. territory, like New York, Washington, Los Angeles, Boston and so on, leaving them uninhabitable for centuries or millenia.” “Moscow will negotiate with Washington and the West from a position of nuclear superiority,” Felgengauer writes. “Putin called on the West to admit defeat, sit down and negotiate an end of sanctions and a new world order … otherwise its doomsday nuclear super-weapons are ready.” Welcome to Russia’s new world order of nuclear blackmail. This story originally published here. Dr. Peter Vincent Pry was chief of staff of the Congressional EMP Commission. He served on the staff of the House Armed Services Committee and at the CIA.

David Wilkerson—IN ONE HOUR EVERYTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE

David Wilkerson September 3, 2007

The prophet Isaiah warns us that in the last days God is going to “turn the world upside down.” He declares, “Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down” (Isaiah 24:1). According to this prophecy, sudden judgment is coming upon the earth, and it will change everything in a single hour. Within that short span, the whole world will witness fast-falling destruction upon a city and a nation, and the world will never be the same. If you are attached to material things — if you love this world and the things of it — you won’t want to hear what Isaiah has prophesied. In fact, even to the most righteous of God’s people, what Isaiah says might seem unthinkable. Many would surely ask, “How can an entire world be stricken in one hour?” If we didn’t believe the Bible is God’s pure Word, few of us would take Isaiah’s prophecy seriously. But Scripture makes it clear: in a single hour, the world is going to change. The church is going to change. And every individual on earth is going to change. The apostle John gives a similar warning in Revelation. He speaks of destructive judgment coming upon a city and nation: “In one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her…. For in one hour so great riches is come to nought” (Revelation 18:8, 17). In Isaiah’s prophecy, the city under judgment is cast into confusion. Every house is shut up, with no one coming or going. “The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in” (Isaiah 24:10). The entire city is left desolate: “In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction” (24:12). All entrances and exits to the city are gone. The passage indicates that a fire has come, a blast that has shaken the very foundations of the earth (see 24:6). We who live in New York City know something about this kind of scene. When the Twin Towers were attacked, the ominous fires and smoke could be seen ascending to heaven for miles. Recently, New Yorkers panicked as a mass of steam erupted from below a city street. People ran in all directions screaming, “Is this it? Is this the end-all attack?” Today, multitudes of secular prophets are saying a nuclear attack is inevitable. The target they mention most often is New York, but it could happen in any major city: London, Paris, Tel Aviv, Washington. Neither Isaiah nor John names the city upon which destructive judgment falls. I don’t intend this message to frighten anyone. Let me make clear at this point: I don’t intend this message to frighten anyone. Paul tells us that as disciples of Jesus Christ, we have already passed from death into life. We who call on Jesus as Lord should be confident that no matter what happens in this world, his shed blood saves and redeems us. Therefore, we are not to fear any newscast, but rather to be attentive to what the Lord is doing in the world. Like many people, I hear grievous reports that make me want to tune everything out. But the truth is, God moves in the midst of such times, and through them, he speaks warnings to all who would hear his voice. Isaiah’s prophecy points clearly to our generation. I believe, along with many eminent Bible scholars, that Isaiah’s prophecy points to the last days. By that, I mean our present time. In short, sudden judgment is coming, and Scripture strongly indicates it is now at the door. At this point, you may be wondering: “How can we be sure we’re the generation this prophecy points to?” We can know by two reasons that such judgments are imminent: A growing number of prophets warn of an apocalyptic disaster at the door. When I use the word “prophets,” I speak not just of those in the church. I’m talking also about “secular prophets.” There are several precedents for secular prophets in Scripture. God used Assyria as his rod of correction with Israel. And he appointed King Cyrus as his servant to assist Israel: “(The Lord) saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure” (Isaiah 44:28). Likewise today, God uses secular prophets to send warnings. These become “his prophets” for a season. And their prophecies can be harder than those delivered by believers. The message I’m writing here is mild compared to the prophecies being delivered by all manner of secular voices. Just check your newspaper or radio reports. “Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets” (Amos 3:7). Sudden destruction comes when the cup of violence overflows. Sensuality, perversion, and greed are running rampant throughout our society. Yet, when God sent the Flood upon the earth, it was because of a worldwide eruption of violence: “The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence” (Genesis 6:11). Right now, there are numerous wars and bloody uprisings taking place around the globe. Yet foremost in my mind is the violence being waged against children worldwide: I think of the sexual violence of pedophiles. Children all over the world are being raped, kidnapped and forced into enslavement in the global sex trade. Recently, a pedophile in the U.S. was discovered running a website that advises other pedophiles on the easiest places to pick up children. There is no law in place to stop this man. The world’s largest church denomination has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to settle the claims of those who were molested in childhood by clergy. Tell me, how long will God endure the pitiful cries of children who are molested by those who would represent Christ? Thousands of children in Africa are being slaughtered in tribal wars, hacked to death by machetes. Young boys — even those under ten years of age — are enlisted into tribal militias and forced to murder men in initiation rites. Here in the U.S., the blood of millions of aborted babies cries out from the ground. Reports of school murders no longer shock many of us but continue to terrorize our children. We may grow hardened to such reports, but God’s heart is grieved by them. I tell you, there is no worse violence than the brutalizing of children. Heaven is crying out, “Woe, woe! Your judgments have no cure.” 1. In one hour, God is going to change the whole world. A sudden cataclysmic event will strike, the first of the final judgments of God. This great event will cause the earth to reel. And Isaiah says that when it hits, there will be no place to escape: “The lofty [proud] city, he layeth it low…even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust” (Isaiah 26:5). “The inhabitants of the earth are burned” (24:6). Once this happens, utter chaos will erupt. All civic activities will stop, and society will descend into massive disorder. Government agencies will be helpless to restore any kind of sanity. No state troopers, no national guard, no army will be able to bring order to the upheaval. You well remember that when the Twin Towers were destroyed, help poured into New York from all over the world. An army of people came to assist in whatever way they could. But the scene in Isaiah’s prophecy is different: this calamity is clearly beyond humankind’s capacity to respond. Once this judgment strikes, it will devastate the economy. Rich merchants will stand by watching in torment, weeping and mourning, as they face bankruptcy. In an instant, all the wealth they amassed will be reduced to nothing. John describes the scene: “The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city… For in one hour so great riches is come to nought” (Revelation 18:15–17). Overnight, all buying and selling will cease. Every restaurant and bar will be shut down, and all drinking and music making will end. Indeed, every trace of mirth and delight, joy and gladness, will vanish: “All the merryhearted do sigh. The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth. They shall not drink wine with a song…. The mirth of the land is gone” (Isaiah 24:7–9, 11). Yes, this is a picture of gloom and doom. But it is not my prophecy. This word was given by the Holy Spirit of Almighty God, to be delivered by his righteous prophet Isaiah. Even the secular world is preparing for it to happen. Billions are being spent on homeland security in the U.S., England, Europe, and Israel. Why? Military experts warn that a world-impacting terrorist attack is sure to come. You may ask: “Why would the whole world change if a nuclear attack occurs in just one city?” It will happen because of the fear of retaliation. If a rogue nation sends such an attack, you can be sure that within hours that nation will be wiped out. Consider the plan Israel has in place, known as the Samson Option. The moment a nuclear warhead is launched against them, within moments Israel will unleash nuclear missiles to devastate the capital cities of all enemy states. The world has become a ticking bomb, and time is quickly running out. 2. In one hour, God is going to change the church. This hour of devastation will suddenly change churches, whether they are alive or dead. Isaiah writes, “There shall be the shaking as of an olive tree” (Isaiah 24:13). The image is of God shaking an olive tree after it has been picked of fruit. In short, he’s going to shake everything that can be shaken, sparing nothing. It will be a time of cataclysmic destruction and overwhelming darkness. So, you ask, “What about God’s people in the midst of all this? What will happen to the church?” Isaiah gives us an incredible word about what will happen with believers. In the midst of the terrible shaking, a song will be heard, and its sound will grow steadily stronger. Suddenly, in that darkest of hours, a worldwide chorus of voices will sing praises to the majesty of God: “They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the Lord, they shall cry aloud from the sea” (24:14). Do you get the picture? There will be panic everywhere. Men’s hearts will fail them for fear, as fires belch smoke seen for hundreds of miles. Disorder and chaos will reign on all sides. Yet amid the devastating fires and calamity, the world will hear a glorious song being sung: “Glorify ye the Lord in the fires, even the name of the Lord God of Israel… From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous [One]” (Isaiah 24:15–16). A holy remnant is going to awaken, and a song will be born in the fire. Instead of panicking, the people of God will be praising his awesome majesty. Imagine it: in the darkest hour of all time, a collective voice will rise by the millions out of every nation, not in fear or agony, but in joyful praise to the Lord. How will this happen, you ask? In one hour, God is going to regenerate and restore his church. Dry bones will shake and rattle, and the righteous will be awakened, as the Holy Spirit calls multitudes of lukewarm believers back to their first love. In his mercy, he’s going to rouse those who have neglected him, ignoring his Word, avoiding prayer, perhaps even contemplating divorce. Suddenly, their souls will be flooded with pangs of remorse and godly sorrow. And many will fall on their knees, crying out in repentance. There will be a revival of glorifying God’s majesty. And the song of this revival will be heard from the uttermost parts of the earth. East, west, north and south — from Arab lands to China, Indonesia, Africa and all parts of the earth — a glorious song will rise up from the midst of the fires. In one day’s time, those who survived the fires are going to be singing a new song throughout the world. Isaiah 25 tells us wonderful miracles will come in this time, as “God makes all things new.” All around the world, the Lord’s people are going to “feast” on his Word: “In this mountain shall the Lord of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined” (Isaiah 25:6). “And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations” (25:7). Right now, in this time of prosperity, the world’s masses seem to be covered with a veil, unable to see the truth of Jesus Christ. But when God rises up to shake the world through judgment, the shrouds covering the minds of billions will be cast aside. The veil of darkness will be removed, and many will see the Lord in his glory. The Holy Spirit won’t force Christ upon these opened eyes and hearts; rather, a remnant is going to rise up from among them. I believe the darkest shroud-coverings today are over the eyes and hearts of youth worldwide. This is especially true of college-age students, whose faith has been bombarded for up to four years. Over that time their minds have been indoctrinated by godless professors in classrooms where belief is attacked, mocked and scorned. Now, these young men’s and women’s faith has been shipwrecked. They leave college convinced God is dead. But in one hour of devastation — nuclear, economic and social — all such hypocritical veils are going to fall away. Those same professors who mocked them will realize, as they face the possibility of death, a choice must be made: “What about eternity? Is there life after death?” They’re going to look for someone to explain to them all that’s happening. When the song is sung, it’s going to be heard by young people from every walk of life, from every nation under the sun. Many will harden their hearts and curse God at the sound of this song, but multitudes of others will join in the singing of his majesty. 3. In one hour, God is going to change us as individuals. In a single hour, the focus of our lives will be changed. We’ll no longer obsess about our own adversities and troubles. Suddenly, so many things that we held dear will no longer be of any value to us. Why? In that hour, everyone will be in the same boat: “It shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him” (Isaiah 24:2). The sudden judgment that comes will not be a respecter of anyone. Rather, it is going to touch all who are within the realm of its fury. Presidents, kings, the world’s richest and most famous — all will tremble just like the poorest of the earth. And this cataclysmic event will bring to naught every idol, purging iniquity and tearing down all false altars: “By this [the calamity] therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up [be left standing]” (Isaiah 27:9). The world’s most prominent idol is money, and right now America is facing a monstrous financial disaster. Investors are scrambling to move their money out of high-risk funds, and mortgage companies are going bankrupt. One recent financial headline read, “Abandon Ship!” Everyone is selling and nobody is buying. Many households are in a panic, as overnight their lives are changing. I think of the president of a multi-billion-dollar hedge fund, who recently put up for sale his 142-foot yacht and his sixteen-bedroom mansion in Aspen, Colorado. His fund had dried up virtually overnight. The day is coming when sports will be the last thing on people’s minds. I have nothing against sports, but soon there will be no more 250-million-dollar deals for athletes when so much of the world is starving. All idols will come crashing down, crushed to dust, and the playing field will be leveled. The richest and the poorest alike will face the same conditions. It will all happen within a day. “When they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape” (1 Thessalonians 5:3). Why such apocalyptic warnings? You may wonder: what good can come of these prophetic messages? Why should anyone have to live under such anxiety? I remind you, Jesus warned Jerusalem of sudden devastation to come upon that city. It was going to be burned to the ground, with over a million people murdered. Christ explained his warning: “I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe” (John 14:29). He was saying, in essence, “When it happens, you’ll know there is a God who loves you and forewarned you.” Paul calls such warnings “light,” insights that expel darkness. He says, in short: “You are children of light, because you know what’s coming in the future. So, when destruction comes, and there’s panic all around, you will have the calm of the Holy Spirit. Something will quicken inside you, and you’ll remember, ‘God warned me.’ This prophecy isn’t a message of wrath to God’s people, but a wakeup call to begin preparing.” “God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him” (1 Thessalonians 5:9–10). Paul is speaking here of a time of possible destruction. Therefore, he says, “Comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do” (5:11). In this day of prosperity, nobody wants to hear a message like Isaiah’s. I certainly don’t want to hear it. But we cannot ignore it, because it is here at our door. In such times, Paul says, when we have knowledge that sudden destruction is coming, we are not to tremble or sorrow as the world does. Instead, we are to comfort one another in faith, knowing that God rules over every aspect of our lives. “Be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation” (5:8). Paul instructs, “Arm yourself with faith. Build up your belief now, before the day comes. Learn your song, and you’ll be able to sing it in your fire.” “Glorify ye the Lord in the fires, even the name of the Lord God of Israel” (Isaiah 24:15). This is the hope of our most holy faith: our Lord causes a song to come out of the darkest of times. Start now to build up your holy faith in him, and learn to praise his majesty quietly in your heart. When you sing your song, it will strengthen and encourage your brothers and sisters. And it will testify to the world: “Our Lord reigns over the Flood!”

Russian Superweapons

By Hal Lindsey

President Trump’s critics seem to have their wish. The Cold War is on again! Over the last few days, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a series of new superweapons. Among those weapons is what he called an “invincible,” nuclear-capable, intercontinental cruise missile that travels at 20 times the speed of sound. He said, “No defense systems will be able to withstand it.” According to Russian media, the so-called “Satan 2” can wipe out an area the size of Texas or France. Putin also showed off next-generation ICBMs, underwater drones, and nuclear depth charges. Russia recently announced development of a nuclear-armed torpedo that can take out aircraft carriers as well as coastal cities. “Efforts to contain Russia have failed, face it,” Putin said. There is good evidence that Russia is at least close to putting these new devices into production. The US must assume that the weapons are as capable as advertised. That means a new arms race, and a far more dangerous world. Donald J. Trump is not a traditional conservative. In the past, conservatives tended to take a hard line with the Russians and, before that, with the Soviet Union. Liberals, on the other hand, emphasized the need for communication and cooperation. Clearly, there are appropriate situations for each of those approaches. Before the Trump presidential campaign, you could usually guess where someone stood on Russia by looking at their other political positions. That’s still true in 2018, but the roles have been reversed. Trump and a new generation of conservatives want friendship and cooperation with Russia — the liberals seem itching for a fight. The Trump Administration, and before that, the Trump campaign, were roundly criticized for not being tough enough on Russia. During 2016, Trump told Bill O’Reilly, “If we can make a great deal for our country and get along with Russia that would be a tremendous thing. I would love to try it.” In July of that year, he said, “I would treat Vladimir Putin firmly, but there’s nothing I can think of that I’d rather do than have Russia friendly.” Later, he said, “Wouldn’t it be a great thing if we could get along with Russia?” In an October debate, Hillary Clinton called Trump, Putin’s “puppet.” In that same debate, Trump accused Clinton of playing a game of nuclear “chicken” with the Russians. So, Donald Trump, champion of conservatives, has tried to take a relatively liberal position concerning Putin and the Russians. At the same time, liberals have suddenly decided it’s time to get tough with Russia. They accuse Trump of going easy on Putin. They claim his softer approach comes from making a deal with Putin to help him get elected — the so-called Russian collusion. The problem is that their best evidence so far does not hold up. Much of the media agrees with the liberals that the President’s peaceful overtures to Russia raise a red flag. CNN ran a long article that included 80 quotes of Trump talking positively about Putin. The quotes started in 2013 when Trump, the owner of the Miss Universe pageant, held that pageant in Moscow. Most of the 2016 quotes come from the campaign trail. All politicians use a standard stump speech, and Trump’s standard speech called for America to try to work cooperatively with Russia. But CNN said, “His glowing statements on Putin have become central in stoking the suspicion that he and his campaign were somehow connected to Russian interference in the election.” So far in his dealings with Moscow, President Trump has shown no evidence of wanting to give away the store — as have some of his predecessors. If he or she does not diminish America’s strategic position, a President should be allowed to work toward a peaceful relationship with a former enemy without being called a traitor. Calling for peaceful negotiation should not be seen as evidence of illegal collusion. These Russian next-generation weapons have been in the works for years, if not decades. That means we can’t blame them on President Trump, or his critics. But it clearly hurts the US position when any overture of peace the President may extend toward Russia is presented to the US public as a sign of collusion. Russia’s new superweapons, along with those of China, are quickly changing the world’s balance of power. The Russians’ cyber campaign to disrupt US elections, along with this massive new upgrade to their weapons of mass destruction, mean that Trump will have to deal with them as enemies before he can work with them as friends. And make no mistake, they are a formidable enemy. Bible prophecy presents Russia as one of the major players on the world stage during the last days — capable of quickly unleashing awesome destructive force. Like the United States, Israel has a whole arsenal of missile defense systems — all of them apparently made obsolete by Russia’s new missiles. In fact, the Bible says that Russia’s future attack on Israel will not be stopped by human military might. They will be defeated by God Himself. The countdown to the end of the age continues.

Russia Unhinged

By Hal Lindsey

Vladimir Putin longs for Russia to regain its former glory from the days of the Soviet Empire. Russian military aircraft have again been pressing the boundaries of U.S. airspace and that of several U.S. allies around the world. It was a Cold War tactic, so they’re doing it again. Putin’s yearning for the good old days also explains why he keeps reminding the world of the size of his nuclear arsenal. He wants his nation to again be treated like a superpower. But unlike the days of Khrushchev or Brezhnev, this new Cold War contains a massive hot spot. Putin is engaged in a full-blown war against America in cyberspace. Fought with computers, it is an all-out war and it’s going on right now. Hacked data from U.S. government servers are already paying off for the Russians and Chinese. The Los Angeles Times reports, “Foreign spy services, especially in China and Russia, are aggressively aggregating and cross-indexing hacked U.S. computer databases — including security clearance applications, airline records and medical insurance forms — to identify U.S. intelligence officers and agents, U.S. officials said.” The Soviet Union was once a major player in the Middle East, and Putin has Russia headed back there in a big way. He has agreed to sell advanced S-300 surface-to-air missiles to Iran. In other words, he’s giving the Iranians the ability to protect their nuclear sites with a near state-of-the-art anti-aircraft system. U.S. officials speaking off the record, say that S–300 missiles have the ability to stop both American and Israeli aircraft. Ynet News and other Israeli sources say that a Russian expeditionary force is now being deployed to Syria. Ynet reports, “In the coming weeks thousands of Russian military personnel are set to touch down in Syria, including advisors, instructors, logistics personnel, technical personnel, members of the aerial protection division, and the pilots who will operate the aircraft.” RT TV, a state-funded Russian television network, claims that unnamed military sources have told them the story is not true. But that begs the question. If it’s not true, why does a quasi-official Russian news organization need to depend on unnamed sources? The story fits with Russia’s recent pattern. While they seem to be joining the world’s fight against ISIS, their primary objective is to keep Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in power. He’s a close ally of Iran, and Russia is anxious to curry favor with the mullahs running that country. Putin understands the vast financial windfall that the nuclear deal will soon bring to Iran, and he wants a piece of it. Russia’s own economy is still terrible. Their second quarter GDP fell 4.6% from the previous year. The Russian Economy Ministry promised it would be the nation’s “lowest point,” but the Russian people have heard such promises before. Oil is their economic lifeblood. However, a glut in the world’s oil supply is keeping those prices low, and that is wreaking havoc in Russia. The majority of people there are now having a hard time paying for food, and food prices just keep going up. Even with severe economic problems, Putin’s popularity has been unassailable… until the last few weeks. In May, his approval rating stood at a record high. But recent polls show a dramatic drop. He remains popular, but there is a definite downward trend. As usual, he responded to the negativity by jailing critics and showing photos of himself in the midst of macho activities. Last week, Putin released a video of himself exercising. In a major media event a couple of weeks ago, he went on a journey to the bottom of the Black Sea in a small submersible. From the days of the Czars up through the time of the communists, cults of personality have been a major part of Russian governance. Putin is not a man of great personal charisma, but it’s important to his constituents that he seem strong, gallant, and in charge. The elites want someone who will help them keep their power and wealth. The poor want someone who will help them feed their families. All of them want to feel proud of their nation. After the Russian invasion of Ukraine last year, America responded with economic sanctions. For Putin, the timing was fortuitous. Falling oil prices were about to put the Russian economy into a nose dive anyway, and with the sanctions he could blame the U.S. It worked beautifully. Despite enormous economic distress, his popularity went through the roof. But national pride takes a back seat to something as basic as groceries. Over time, high food prices and low availability result in a deep sense of distress among the populace. They don’t entirely forget national pride, but their priorities shift toward the essentials. Since Putin seems powerless to fix Russia’s economy, he’s stuck with the old stand-bys. He reminds people that he is bigger than life, gives them the impression that he can fix whatever is wrong, and he blames what’s wrong on America and the West. But that can only work so long. The Russian GDP was falling precipitously even before the rest of the world economy went into its recent tailspin. That means things are about to get much worse. Hungry Russians will soon feel desperate. So will Putin. And desperation is a dangerous thing. Putin clearly sees Iran and the Middle East as his greatest hope in these dark times. So to the already volatile and confusing mix of forces active in that region, we can add Russia — a country that controls the world’s largest arsenal of thermonuclear weapons.

Police Probes Against Netanyahu: There is No There There

Why the case that spells the Israeli Prime Minister's doom is no case at all.

March 7, 2018 Caroline Glick

One of the distressing aspects of the police probes against Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is that police seem to be attributing criminality to normal policy-making. To date, the Bezeq-Walla investigation, dubbed Case 4000 by the police, is being presented as the mother lode – the probe that will sink Netanyahu. Case 4000 exploded last week with pre-dawn arrests of some of the most powerful people in Israel. Telecommunications giant Bezeq’s owner Shaul Elovitch, his wife, Iris, and their son Or were nabbed in their beds. So was Netanyahu’s former communications chief Nir Hefetz and former director-general of the Communications Ministry and Netanyahu confidante Shlomo Filber. The headlines screamed “Bribery!” And the reports were no calmer. The media reported that the police have hard evidence Netanyahu and Filber colluded to give Netanyahu’s crony Elovitch hundreds of millions of shekels in tax and regulatory breaks for Bezeq. In exchange, Elovitch, who also owns the popular Walla Internet site, agreed to give positive coverage of Netanyahu and his wife, Sara, on Walla’s news site. Before we could consider the evidence, Netanyahu’s fate was sealed. He was a goner. But when the smoke cleared, it became apparent that there isn’t anything there. Netanyahu and Filber did give Bezeq and its subsidiary, satellite television provider Yes, regulatory and tax breaks. On the regulatory side, the Communications Ministry agreed to end the forced separation between the two commonly owned corporations. As Eli Zippori noted last Friday in Globes, far from being a criminal conspiracy, the move was perfectly sound policy. By allowing the two companies to work together, the government improved the lot of consumers. Together they could offer the public discounted service bundles that include landlines, Internet service and television service. Moreover, in exchange for permitting them to work together, Bezeq agreed to permit private Internet providers to operate off of its communications infrastructure. Today, Zippori noted, 550,000 Israelis receive Internet through such services. Would another policy move have brought better results for the public? Maybe. But that doesn’t mean this policy was wrong or criminal. As for the tax breaks, it is true that Yes received hundreds of millions in tax relief. Yet as Zippori noted, Yes’s corporate losses topped a billion shekels. The Income Tax Authority routinely gives tax relief to corporations that lose money. And the higher the losses, the higher the tax break. Would it have been better for the government to discriminate against Yes? Maybe. But that doesn’t mean this policy was wrong or criminal. So the case that spells Netanyahu’s doom is no case at all. It’s a policy dispute. It isn’t surprising that the police are trying to criminalize Netanyahu’s policies in Case 4000. They’re doing the same thing in Case 1000 and in Case 3000. Case 1000 involves Netanyahu’s support for amending the so-called Milchan law. The law, passed in 2008 under the Olmert government, provides a 10-year income tax and reporting exemption for overseas income. The law was passed to encourage wealthy expatriates and immigrants to move to Israel. It is called the Milchan law because businessman Arnon Milchan pushed very hard to get it passed. In 2013, Milchan sought to extend the law’s exemptions to 20 years. Netanyahu supported its extension. The police allege that Netanyahu’s support for the law’s extension owes to the fact that Milchan gave him free cigars for a decade or so. The problem with the police’s claim is that Netanyahu’s position reflects the same economic positions he has held for decades. Moreover, his position was shared by the Immigration and Absorption Ministry, which like him, supported the law and the proposed amendment because it encouraged immigration of wealthy individuals and capital flows into Israel. Then-finance minister Yesh Atid chairman Yair Lapid is the star witness against Netanyahu. Although like Netanyahu, Lapid and Milchan are old friends, and Lapid met with Milchan twice about the proposed amendment, Lapid eventually bowed to his ministry’s position that the law induced money laundering and is therefore problematic. Was Netanyahu’s position wrong? Did the Finance Ministry’s position serve the public’s interest better? Maybe. But that doesn’t mean his policy was wrong or criminal. In Case 3000, Netanyahu is accused of basing his support for Israel’s purchase of German submarines on his cronies’ monetary interests. Netanyahu’s attorney and cousin David Shimron represented the German shipyard. The problem with this claim is that Netanyahu has publicly supported expanding and modernizing Israel’s submarine fleet for 20 years. True, some senior officials in the IDF and the Defense Ministry oppose expanding Israel’s submarine fleet. Their position is not without merit. But that doesn’t mean that Netanyahu’s position was wrong or criminal. Yet in all of these cases, the police leakers are telling the media that Netanyahu’s policy positions were criminal acts. Rather than reject these claims as absurd on their face, and recognize that they contradict the basic values of a free society, the media have been mindlessly parroting them. Which brings us to Case 2000 and the second half of Case 4000. These investigations revolve around the premise that Netanyahu engaged in criminal activity when he sought to receive less hostile coverage from the Yediot Aharonot media group and from Walla news portal. Yediot publisher Arnon Mozes and Elovitch are accused of offering bribes to Netanyahu in the form of better coverage in exchange for governmental support for their business interests. In Mozes’s case, he asked Netanyahu to act against Israel Hayom, Yediot’s primary competitor. In Elovitch’s case, Netanyahu allegedly agreed to provide Bezeq/Yes with regulatory and tax breaks in exchange for supportive coverage in Walla. There are two problems with these allegations. First, Yediot’s implacably hostile coverage of Netanyahu never improved. And, as an inquiry at Mida website this week demonstrated, like Yediot, Walla’s coverage of Netanyahu is relentlessly negative. Investigations 2000 and 4000 are predicated on a draconian premise that rejects the very notion of freedom of speech and expression. The premise is that any time a reporter writes about a public figure, he is offering that public figure a bribe. His expectation in writing his article is that at some point, the politician will pay him back for his work. Conversely, if a reporter writes negatively about a public figure, he is extorting him. Under this premise, Mozes and Elovitch gave Netanyahu bad coverage because that gave them a bargaining chip against him. In exchange for better coverage, they could expect him to do something for them. In other words, these probes assume that all reporting is inherently corrupt and criminal. All of the police probes suffer from another problem – they all scream out selective law enforcement. As Zippori notes, whereas Case 4000 is premised on the notion that a pro-business regulatory environment is inherently criminal, investigators never probed an even larger tax break the Communications Ministry conferred on Yes’s top competitor, the HOT cable television provider. According to Zippori, HOT received tax breaks totaling more than a billion shekels over several years. It received these tax breaks despite the fact that it failed to abide by its obligation to provide cable service throughout Israel. During the period HOT received the tax breaks, Mozes and his partner Eliezer Fishman were major shareholders in the company. The tax breaks continued when Mozes’s close friend Patrick Drahi bought their shares. In other words, Netanyahu and Filber are being treated like Al Capone for giving standard tax breaks to Yes, which is owned by his friend Elovitch. Fliber’s predecessor Avi Berger gave tax breaks to Netanyahu’s nemesis Mozes, and the media is treating him like a principled professional.  This brings us back to Case 2000. Netanyahu is accused of accepting a bribe of good coverage from Mozes and in exchange working to curtail the operations of Israel Hayom, Mozes’s chief competitor. Never mind that Netanyahu did no such thing, and preferred to bring down his own government in 2014 rather than harm Israel Hayom. Forty-three members of Knesset voted in favor of the “Israel Hayom bill” that would have shut down Mozes’s competitor. They are not under investigation. Lapid, the star witness against Netanyahu in the Milchan law probe, met twice with his old friend Milchan to discuss the law during his tenure as finance minister. Lapid never reported his meetings. And he’s the star witness against Netanyahu, not the subject of a probe. Lapid’s Yesh Atid party went out of its way to advance Mozes’s financial interests. Not only did more than half of Yesh Atid lawmakers vote for the “Israel Hayom bill.” Lapid’s ministers – then-education minister Shai Piron, then-minister of social affairs Meir Cohen and then-science minister Yaakov Peri, paid Yediot millions of shekels from their ministries’ budgets for advertising. And they all received fantastic coverage. And none of them is under investigation. The final problem with the investigations of Netanyahu is that as we saw this week, the police’s openly obsessive desire to “get” Bibi is corrupting the law enforcement and judicial community. This week Channel 10 published text messages sent between magistrate’s court judge Ronit Poznansky-Katz and Israel Securities Authority investigator Eran Shaham-Shavit. In their text exchange, the two discussed and agreed on the length of continued confinement of suspects detained in Case 4000. It is possible to read their exchange, in which they discuss the police investigators’ obsession with keeping the suspects remanded to jail, as friendly banter. It is also possible to interpret their text exchanges more critically. Shaham-Shavit wrote: Police investigators “almost beat me up or arrested me.” He angered them because he supported releasing the suspects earlier than the police investigators did. Poznansky-Katz’s responded sympathetically, “I think there is nothing scarier than that.” It’s easy to read this as two colleagues commiserating about out of control police investigators ready to run over anyone who stands between them and their prey – Prime Minister Netanyahu. However you interpret their exchange, the fact is that their messages were a crime. They coordinated Poznansky-Katz’s rulings before the defendants were allowed to present their cases. Yet, whereas Netanyahu’s advisers and friends are treated like mafia bosses for advancing legal policies, Poznansky-Katz and Shaham-Shavit were let off with administrative slaps on their wrists. And we’re supposed to believe in the justice system. It is easy to get swept away in the flood of prejudicial leaks and biased reporting that have already indicted, tried and pronounced Netanyahu’s guilt. But when you analyze the actual cases being assembled against him, it becomes clear that not only is there nothing there, these probes themselves represent an unprecedented assault on the basic norms of Israel.

Israel, US Troops Train Together to Counter Missile Threats

Some 5,000 American and Israeli troops are participating in a joint missile-defense exercise, preparing for the threat of attacks from across the region.

March 8, 2018, at 1:53 p.m. U.S. News & World Report  JOSEF FEDERMAN, Associated Press

HATZOR AIR BASE, Israel (AP) — If war breaks out in the Middle East, U.S. and Israeli forces are preparing to one day fight alongside one another to defend Israel against missile attacks from across the region. Nearly 5,000 Israeli and American troops have been training together in Israel for that very scenario. The "Juniper Cobra" exercise includes field training, computer simulations and live-fire drills of sophisticated missile-defense systems. "We will practice, train shoulder to shoulder, the same as we will fight in crisis times," Brig. Gen. Zvika Haimovich, chief of Israel's air defense command, told reporters at a briefing at the dusty Hatzor air base in southern Israel. Israel has made missile defense a priority since Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein bombarded the country with 39 Scud missiles during the 1991 Gulf War. Today, the threat is far more formidable. The Lebanese militant group Hezbollah is now believed to possess well over 100,000 rockets and missiles capable of striking virtually anywhere in Israel. Hezbollah and Iranian forces are also active in neighboring Syria, backing President Bashar Assad. Gaza's Hamas rulers have a vast arsenal of rockets, and Iran has developed long-range missiles that can reach Israel. These threats are concrete. Hezbollah rained some 4,000 rockets into Israel during a monthlong war in 2006, while Hamas and other militant groups in Gaza have fired thousands of rockets into Israel from the south. Last month, Israel intercepted an Iranian drone launched from Syria during a clash that caused an Israeli F-16 warplane to crash, and Israel shot down a Syrian anti-aircraft missile last year. Haimovich said Juniper Cobra is not aimed at any particular adversary. Instead, it is meant to simulate "very complex scenarios" that include simultaneous attacks from enemy countries and militant groups. "We practice that because this is a real scenario," he said. He said the threats include multiple salvos, more accurate rockets and missiles and a "multidirectional threat." "Those are our main assumptions," he said. "It doesn't matter if it's from south, north, east or others." Israel, in cooperation with the U.S., has developed a multilayer system of missile defense. This includes the "Arrow" system, which can intercept long-range missiles before they enter the atmosphere, the "David's Sling" system for medium-range threats and the "Iron Dome," which has been successful at intercepting short-range rocket fire. Israel also uses the American-made "Patriot" system. While Israel takes pride in its ability to defend itself, Haimovich said the cooperation with the Americans provides additional depth to its "tool box." About 2,500 American forces are participating in the drill, which began on March 4 and will run through the end of the month. There is precedent for such cooperation. During the 1991 war, American Patriot missile batteries were deployed to Israel to defend against Iraqi Scud missile attacks. Lt. Gen. Richard Clark, commander of the U.S. troops, said American forces are ready to deploy in Israel at Israel's request. Once Israel gives the green light, he said American forces could start moving from Europe within two or three days. Juniper Cobra has taken place every two years since 2001, adjusting each time to cope with ever-shifting battlefield. With literally "thousands of threats" to prepare for, Clark said the drill is an opportunity for the two allies to improve communication and coordination. "The ballistic missile defense mission is a very difficult one, very technical one, and it requires precise integrated effort to make it work, and that's what we're developing here," he said.

Economic Experts Are Warning of a Looming Financial Crisis But No One Wants to Listen

by Daisy Luther

Recently, a lot of signs have been pointing to a financial crisis the likes of the Great Depression hurtling toward us, but no one wants to heed these warnings. This weekend, I wrote about the continuing retail apocalypse, with thousands more brick and mortar stores slated to close down this year, taking tens of thousands of jobs with them. Quite a few people scoffed at my concern, feeling that a few retail jobs weren’t a sign of pending doom. But I’m not alone in my apprehension. Not by a long shot. Don’t expect the naysayers to agree anytime soon. It’s much more comfortable to believe that our economy has greatly improved under President Trump when in reality, we are already headed down the road to crisis without any brakes. Back when Trump was elected, Brandon Smith of Alt-Market warned: I have been warning since long before the election that Trump’s presidency would be the perfect vehicle for central banks and international financiers to divert blame for the economic crisis that would inevitably explode once the Fed moved firmly into interest rate hikes. Every indication since my initial prediction shows that this is the case. The media was building the foundation of the narrative from the moment Trump won the election. Bloomberg was quick to publish its rather hilariously skewed propaganda on the matter, asserting that Trump was lucky to inherit an economy in ascendance and recovery because of the fiscal ingenuity of Barack Obama. This is of course utter nonsense. Obama and the Fed have created a zombie economy rotting from the inside out, nothing more. But, as Bloomberg noted rightly, any downturn within the system will indeed be blamed on the Trump administration. Fortune Magazine, adding to the narrative, outlined the view that the initial stock rally surrounding Trump’s election win was merely setting the stage for a surprise market crash I continue to go one further than the mainstream media and say that the Trump administration is a giant cement shoe designed (deliberately) to drag conservatives and conservative principles down into the abyss as we are blamed by association for the financial calamity that will occur on Trump’s watch… …Every single stock decline from now on, as well as the ultimate economic crash, which will become visible to the public in short order, will be blamed on Donald Trump and conservatives by extension. As I said, he is the perfect scapegoat. (source) It certainly makes sense from an establishment point of view to blame a financial disaster on a populist movement, particularly if they want to the American people to beg for a Socialist government. After all, then they’re just giving the people what they want, right? But Smith isn’t the only person ringing the warning bell. James Kunstler has been warning us for years, too. James Howard Kunstler is a journalist, author, social critic, and blogger. He has written about the dangers of declining oil production, urbanism, and local economies. He’s been called a fearmonger and a grim extremist, but is that a case of people who are in denial? He recently warned of something much darker coming our way and recommended that we “enjoy the last few weeks of relative normality.” Here’s how he sees the trouble going down. The financial markets wobbled and puked on Wednesday and Thursday of this week, finally mirroring the tremendous stresses in our politics. They’ve been every bit as jacked on unreality as the two major parties for years now. The markets, after all, are not the economy itself, just indexes of the supposed values of things, stocks, bonds, gold, soybeans, etc., and the Federal Reserve has been jamming hallucinogens down their craw since the last little seizure in 2008. The markets don’t seem to like the new chairman of the Fed, a cipher named Jay Powell. In his first big public performance since stepping into Janet Yellen’s tiny shoes this week, Powell managed to do a complete 180 in 24 hours on whether his outfit will stick to four rate hikes this year… or maybe just ride to the rescue of the floundering markets with their old tricks of lowering interest rates and “printing” shitloads of new “money” to get those animal spirits going again in the S & P. Absolutely nothing Powell’s Fed might try will work. In fact they will only make the cratering indexes fall deeper and harder, along with the value of the US dollar. Interest rates can’t go any higher, anyway, without blowing up half the paper obligations on earth. Businesses will be terrified to transact. You can’t do much with a crippled financial system. The authorities and the news media will call it a “recession” but a sore-beset public will know it is the start of something a whole lot worse. As a nice side-dish to this banquet of consequences, the Democratic party will be deprived of its only reason to live the past two years: to shove Donald Trump off-stage. And the Republicans will be blamed twice over: once, for not coming to Trump’s defense, and again for getting behind him in the first place. (source) It’s certainly no stretch of the imagination to agree that there are a lot of powerful people who want Trump gone. But Pence, his replacement, brings its own set of worries, such as a theocratic ruler with no concept of the separation of church and state. Peter Schiff says we’re headed for the Great Depression 2.0 Peter Schiff is an economist, financial broker/dealer, author, and podcaster who accurately predicted the crash of 2008. He is convinced that another Great Depression is upon us and that this one will be far worse than the first one. The bad news is, we are going to live through another Great Depression and it’s going to be very different. This will be in many ways, much much worse, than what people had to endure during the Great Depression. This is going to be a dollar crisis. These hot inflation numbers that we’ve been getting are going to get a lot hotter…all this inflation that has been in the financial markets, in the stock markets, in the bond market, in the real estate market, everybody loved inflation when it was making you rich…the problem is going to be when it makes you poor. That’s when it starts showing up in the cost of living; all the things you need to buy end up being a lot more expensive. When you are talking about the magnitude of the debt we have, that extra money [raising interest rates] is big. That’s going to be a big drain on the economy to the extent that we have to pay higher interest to international creditors…a lot of this phony GDP is coming from consumption, while the average American who is consuming is deeply in debt and they are going to impacted dramatically in the increase in the cost of servicing that debt…given how much debt we have, and how much debt is going to be marketed the massive increase in supply will argue for interest rates that are higher. The Fed thinks they create economic growth…by [saying] ‘let’s jack up the stock market and then the economy’s going to grow and people are going to go out and spend more money.’ It’s actually doing damage. If you create a bunch of phony wealth, and people end up spending money that they otherwise would have saved, you are undermining economic growth. Everything the Fed has done has undermined real economic growth, that is why this coming collapse is going to be so devastating. (source) Debt is an exceptionally big problem. Personal debt in America was up $605 billion BEFORE the predicted $682 billion in Christmas spending. As interest rates and inflation increase, as jobs get lost, the looming question is, how are people going to pay this off? Answer: they can’t. Brandon Smith is also pointing a finger at the Fed. Smith believes that Jerome Powell, the new chairman of the Federal Reserve, will knowingly trigger a stock market crash of historic proportions, based on something he said back in 2002. In a speech, he discussed how simple it as to manipulate the market for the profit of a few, wrapping it up with this chilling statement. …we look like we are blowing a fixed-income duration bubble right across the credit spectrum that will result in big losses when rates come up down the road. You can almost say that that is our strategy.” (source) Smith points out that he has changed his tune since becoming Chairman of the Fed and is parroting Janet Yellen, while knowingly manipulating the market to the point that implosion is near. Powell’s first day as Chairman was greeted with the sharpest drop in U.S. equities in years. Yellen’s parting gift to investors in January was an $18 billion reduction in the Fed balance sheet, $6 billion more than the Fed originally claimed would occur. It is clear to me that just as stocks climbed in direct correlation to the Fed balance sheet, so too will they fall in direct correlation to the Fed balance sheet. Only a week after the balance sheet was cut more than expected, stocks fell by nearly 10%. So, the question now is, will Powell continue this trend of rate hikes and balance sheet reductions, being that he is recorded as knowing what the results will be? I believe that this is exactly what he will do. Why? Because the Fed’s goal is the deliberate controlled demolition not only of U.S. markets but also U.S. debt instruments and the dollar. If I am wrong, then Powell, knowing the threat, will reverse rate hike policies and stop dumping the balance sheet in an effort to prop up the system. If I am right, then we will see Powell continue these policies over the course of 2018 and allow the system to implode… …It will not take very many Fed meetings to discern whether or not the central bank will continue to back up stocks. To me, it appears that the decision to pull the plug has already been made. (source) Simon Black shared a chilling analysis of the February stock market volatility. Black is an international investor, entrepreneur, and the founder of Sovereign Man. His insight on the market comes from years of experience all over the world. Earlier this month, the market dropped a very speedy 10% from its all-time high. The selloff occurred because higher-than-expected wage growth stoked inflation fears. Higher inflation means the Fed may have to raise interest rates sooner than expected. All else equal, higher interest rates mean lower stock prices. And this panicked selling was based only on the fear of higher interest rates…   …In short, the market doesn’t know what to do with negative inputs today… much less some really bad news… …when the selloff started on February 5, the VIX jumped 116% in one day (the largest move ever). And the volatility targeting crowd ran for cover, selling potentially hundreds of billions of dollars in equities. People have also been betting outright against volatility, which again, has been a profitable strategy for years. The VelocityShares Daily Inverse VIX Short-Term ETN (XIV), which moves inversely to the VIX, was one of the most popular tools for this. But, when the VIX jumped 116% in a day, that fund lost about 95% of its value. Then XIV announced it would liquidate (the fund had $1.8 billion at its peak). Investors were wiped out. And it wasn’t just individual investors using this strategy… Even pension funds and sovereign wealth funds were getting in on the action as a way to generate income, which is totally absurd. These are supposed to be the safest and most conservative investors around… …But that’s just a taste of what’s to come. Imagine the selling we’ll see when there’s actually bad news. (source) Whether you invest in the market or not, whether you have a pension fund that plays the market or not – no matter who you are, a stock market crash can and will affect your life. Here’s what you need to know about surviving a crash and here’s what you need to know to protect your wealth.  Then there’s this steel tariff business. President Trump isn’t the first leader to put a tariff on steel in the hopes of bringing this industry back to the United States. But it backfired in 2002 when President George W. Bush tried it, and chances are, based on the international outrage this has invoked, it will backfire again. Zero Hedge reported: Immediately after the announcement, the European Union announced that it would impose retaliatory tariffs on the United States, risking the start of a major trade war. To decide whether or not the steel tariffs were fair, a case was filed at the Dispute Settlement Body of the World Trade Organization (WTO). Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, Switzerland, Brazil and others joined with similar cases. In a decisive decision, on November 11, 2003, the WTO came out against the steel tariffs, saying that they had not been imposed during a period of import surge—steel imports had actually dropped a bit during 2001 and 2002—and that the tariffs therefore were a violation of America’s WTO tariff-rate commitments. The ruling authorized more than $2 billion in sanctions, the largest penalty ever imposed by the WTO against a member state, if the United States did not quickly remove the tariffs. In retaliation, the European Union threatened to counter with tariffs of its own on products ranging from Florida oranges to cars produced in Michigan, with each tariff calculated to likewise hurt the President in a key marginal state. But it was the market’s response that broke the camel’s back: what followed immediately after the tariffs were announced was a 30% plunge in the S&P 500, a slump in the dollar and a rally in bonds that slashed 10Y yields in half. (source) The bottom line The bottom line is, a financial crisis is coming. It doesn’t matter who is in office or the numbers espoused by the government. You need to be prepared by creating an emergency fund, building a stockpile, getting out of debt and living frugally, and learning self-reliant skills. America as we know it is in for a drastic change, and we’re populated with a country full of consumers instead of producers. The best (and some might say only) way to survive what’s coming is to be a producer.

Greyerz Just Warned The Global Crash Is About To Seriously Accelerate

March 04, 2018

As we get ready to kickoff trading at the start of a new week, today the man who has become legendary for his predictions on QE and historic moves in currencies, told King World News that the global crash is about to seriously accelerate. The Beginning Of The End March 4 (King World News) – Egon von Greyerz: “Central bank heads have been at it again in the last week. And they have clearly all been singing from the same hymn sheet. The messages have been very similar from the bosses of the Fed, ECB and BOJ. The head of the Swedish Riksbank had a different and much more interesting message. More about that later. Why should we ever listen to any of these self-important central bankers. They are consistently wrong in their forecasts and policies. Their timing is always wrong as they are always behind the curve. More importantly they are distorting the natural economic cycles by artificial manipulation of markets and thereby creating booms and busts of an enormous magnitude. The natural laws of ebb and flow or supply and demand are the best regulators of markets. If the economy was allowed to take its natural course, the world would not experience massive bubbles and nor the economic troughs with severe recessions or depressions. Central banks and bankers should not exist. They fulfill no purpose and the world economy would function so much better without them… In Volatile Markets, Is Wealth Preservation King? In a King World News interview I spoke with the man who predicted the Swiss National Bank would experience staggering losses and that the Fed would also experience massive losses that will destabilize the global financial system! His company is the only one in the world offering a precious metals investment service outside the banking system, with direct ownership and full control by the investor. He has also become legendary for his predictions on QE, historic moves in currencies, and major global events. To find out what he and his company can do to help answer that age old question for you CLICK HERE. Egon von Greyerz continues: “So let us now have a look at what three “wise” bank heads told the world last week. If someone wonders why I have used caricatures rather than real photos of these bankers, the reason must be obvious. No one must take a central bank head seriously! Starting with the Fed chairman, Jay Powell, Wall Street did not like what they heard from him: “My personal outlook for the economy has strengthened since December.” He thus vowed to forge ahead with interest rate increases to avoid an “overheated economy.” This was interpreted as a much faster rate of increases than the market had expected. And stocks did not take kindly to his message. The Dow has fallen 1,300 points since his statement and stock markets around the world have followed. But this fall is just the beginning. More about that later. Mario Draghi, the president of the ECB, said last Monday that slack in the Eurozone might be bigger than previously estimated and this could slow the rise of inflation but only temporarily and prices will eventually climb. He also said the factors that slow down the rise of inflation will wane as growth continues. His comments suggest that the ECB remains confident that inflation is finally on an upward trend which will permit the bank to end its bond purchases program this year. Finally Haruhiko Kuroda of the Bank of Japan (BOJ) joined the queue of the banks looking toward an exit of money printing. He stated that the BOJ will start thinking about how to end its monetary stimulus starting in 2019. The bank forecasts that inflation will reach its target of 2% in 2019. For over 25 years, Japan has tried to achieve inflation by printing unlimited amounts of money. This is a country that has over one quadrillion in debt and where the central bank is buying all of the debt that the country issues. Eventually the Japanese economy will disappear into the Pacific with very few young people to take care of an aging population. So here we have three central bank heads who all believe that the trillions or quadrillions of money that they have printed over the years will finally bear fruit and create some minimal inflation of 2% or so. First, it should of course not be the purpose of central banks to manufacture inflation. Inflation is a disease and not a virtue. Inflationary growth that central banks are trying to create by printing money has zero beneficial real effect on an economy. All it does is to give an illusory effect of growth which has no positive effect. Second, the world economy is not about to generate inflationary growth. Instead what will happen is a debt and asset implosion that will kill the world economy for a very long time. The central bankers will respond the only way they know, by printing unlimited amounts of money. And it is the coming money printing that will create the inflation and hyperinflation that I discussed in last week’s KWN article. After 11 years of massive money printing, the world has achieved no real growth. In the meantime global debt has doubled to $240 trillion which, if unfunded liabilities and derivatives are included, becomes a total liability for the world of $2 quadrillion. With global GDP at $80 trillion this means that total liabilities to GDP is 2,400%. Central banks just managed to kick the can down the road in 2007-9 but this time around, the can is just too big and the failure of the financial system is getting closer. Greenspan, who started the mess the world is now in, has just stated “that the world is in a debt bubble.” He should have thought about that 30 years ago when he became chairman of the Fed rather than today. That was the time to stop it. But let us finish the discussion of central bankers by mentioning someone who now realizes that banning of cash actually makes the central bank powerless. Stefan Ingves, head of the world’s oldest central bank, Sweden’s Riksbank, has just realized that the bank has now lost control of the cash in the country. In the last 10 years, the value of cash in circulation in Sweden has halved from 112 billion kronor to 50 billion. Many shops and banks refuse to handle cash at all. Ingves states that Sweden now has a situation where many commercial parties control the payment system. It is a fallacy to believe that money printing is the prerogative of the central bank. When a commercial bank receives a deposit, it lends that money to someone less a minuscule reserve. That process is repeated many times thus expanding money supply infinitely. A credit card company also prints money and so do many other commercial entities by extending credit. All this money creation outside the central bank is highly inflationary and destroys the value of the currency which Sweden is experiencing, like many other countries. Ingves argues that the Riksbank is losing control of the currency which he says is problematic. A parliamentary commission is therefore now looking into how to protect the Swedish kronor issued by the Riksbank. This will lead to a new central bank regulation. Without a payment system that accepts the currency issued by the country, Ingves says, the Riksbank cannot carry out its role effectively. Interesting how a country that has been promoting a cashless society for tax evasion and money laundering purposes now realizes that the consequences instead lead to a total loss of control of the country’s currency. Hyperinflation watch In my KWN article last week I mentioned that the gold price in Venezuelan Bolivars was VEF38 million at the official exchange rate. Well one week later the gold price has gone up to VEF46.5 million – a 22% increase in one week. Just like Sweden, Venezuela has lost control of its currency, albeit in a very different way. Markets are turning Our primary purpose is to protect investors from the unacceptable risks that we have identified in the stock, bond and property markets. At the end of a major cycle, most investors are more confident than ever. Making money creates this confidence and greed prevents investors from protecting the gains. I have for some time been very clear that we are now at the end of a very major supercycle which could be of a magnitude of at least 100 years but could even be a 2000 year cycle. Historians will let the world know at some point in the future. Whatever the size of the cycle, the coming downturn in the world economy and markets will be devastating for the world. It has looked like for a while that we could have a final melt-up in markets that would have lasted for yet a few months. The top for stocks is in But studying the US stock market, using our proprietary cycle system, it now looks clear to me that the top is in for the Dow and for all the major US indices. The top was on January 26th and it was possible to predict already 18 months ago. If this is correct we will soon see a major decline in the US markets and also all world markets. This decline will be totally devastating as it is the end of a major cycle. We don’t see any important intermediate bottom until the summer of 2019. The dollar will fall hard from here Although the dollar has looked oversold short-term, this will not stop it from falling big. The dollar looks very weak and could fall precipitously from here. We have seen the end of the dollar empire, the petrodollar and the role of the dollar as reserve currency. We are not likely to see the first intermediate bottom until sometime in June – July 2019. Precious metals to start major rise Looking at the long-term charts of gold in most currencies since 2000, it is clear that the uptrend is very strong and that the sideways move since 2013 is now coming to an end. In several currencies like the Australian and Canadian dollars, gold is virtually at the peak. During 2018, we are likely to see a very strong move in gold in all currencies. Silver will move up extremely fast, a lot faster than gold. The imminent stock and dollar falls are likely to trigger an up move in the precious metals very soon. Risk is extreme Sticking your neck out with specific forecasts is always dangerous. But the market situation is now precarious in most asset classes. I could of course be wrong in the short-term but I am not wrong in that the risk is now higher than at any point in history. Therefore, now is the time for investors to protect themselves. It is irrelevant if it takes days or months for the trends to turn as I have forecast above. What is guaranteed is that we will have a major and devastating global fire. Now is the time to buy insurance before the fire has started.” ALSO RELEASED: Legend Who Oversees More Than $210 Billion Just Issued This Dire Warning CLICK HERE TO READ. ***KWN has just released the remarkable audio interview with investing legend Rob Arnott CLICK HERE OR ON THE IMAGE BELOW.

My Thoughts: Gun Laws and The Second Amendment

It’s been such a tough couple of weeks, with emotions running so high and the agony of what happened in FL weighing heavily on us all. The loss of these beautiful people is unbearable to fathom and because it hurts all Americans so deeply, the intensity of the conversation is at a level I have not seen before. The level of anger coming toward us as gun owners and Second Amendment supporters is incredibly high. I know that it is tough on you and that it can be extremely difficult to know how to respond. Personally, I respond with empathy to the feelings of others and to be as articulate as I can be in sharing what I know and believe. I am choosing to take advantage of opportunities wherever I can to educate Americans on the truths of firearms, the Second Amendment and on what I believe are the core issues that we must address as a country. Yes, this includes entering the lion’s den of the mainstream media and cable news. I don’t participate in an attempt to influence media outlets, but rather to try to inform the viewers, the regular American, and to try to introduce facts and thoughts to expand their level of understanding on the issues. It’s tough, I admit and very risky but the threat to our rights is more significant and stronger than ever before. Trying to educate the people in “the middle” I believe, is my way to best work to protect and preserve our rights. I would like to share with you my thoughts on the complex issues before us. These are my personal thoughts, and I don’t share them to make them yours or to represent anyone other than myself. Perhaps it is a bit of my therapy or my attempt to clarify my talking points as I try to educate others. In any event, here you go!  The Gun My opinion, which is supported by FBI Statistics, is that gun laws don’t work. It isn’t about the gun. It’s about the person behind it. There are Modern Sporting Rifles (MSR), such as AR-15’s in the hands of millions of Americans across the country, and yet a rifle (all types combined) is used in only 2% of all murders. The lack of knowledge of this firearm is extreme in both those that push for anti-gun laws and sadly, those that support the Second Amendment. The Media For years now, the media and politicians have repeatedly been educated on the truths and facts of the AR-15, yet they choose to continue to intentionally inaccurately describe this firearm and its capabilities to influence Americans to support anti-gun proposals. The news media is supposed to educate and inform its viewers and allow them to form their own conclusions, but instead, it feeds and manipulates them towards their preferred outcomes. This is a very scary thing. The Government The lack of our government’s ability to keep us safe is alarming. The failures of the FBI, local law enforcement, schools, mental health facilities and others to act upon the very clear warnings and tips are extremely troubling and demand serious investigations and immediate actions to ensure such failures don’t happen again. If it’s predictable, it’s preventable! Honestly, these failures reinforce the need for Americans to be armed for their protection. Clearly, we can’t depend upon them to keep us safe. Where are the cries, protests, and demands this be addressed. NICS I find very concerning, the incompetent use of the very system that is in place for keeping these guns out of the hands of dangerous people. NICS, The National Instant Criminal Background Check System (Which exists because of the NRA something most people don’t know) is the system used to process background checks on firearms purchases. Here are some very concerning numbers: 48,000 felony gun purchases were identified through NICS, only 44 of these were prosecuted! ONLY 44! How can that possibly be? Additionally, 38 states are not entering complete felony data into the system. We can’t identify and stop a felon from purchasing a gun if they aren’t in the NICS system. By the way, the NRA is powerful because the Second Amendment is popular! Where are the cries, protests, and demands this be addressed? More Gun Laws I do not think that the time to make permanent legislative decisions that impact not only hundreds of millions of Americans and potentially infringe on a Constitutional right should be made in such an emotional state. Legislating and governing this great country must be done objectively and based on facts and truth. Before greater restrictions are imposed on law-abiding, respectable Americans, (who by the way are the only ones that will follow any new laws introduced), our government must effectively utilize the tools and enforce the laws that are already in place to keep guns out of the hands of those who should already be prohibited from obtaining them. Schools If our overall goal is to keep schools safe, our focus should be on securing the schools themselves. As it stands now, they are not hardened or secure in any tangible way from these attacks. If we wish to keep schools safe, we need to fortify them and treat them as the priority they should be. Think of the efforts, dollars, and drills that go into fire prevention in schools? A child hasn’t died in a school fire for more than 50 years, yet we continue to do everything we can to prevent one. Shouldn’t we have the same determination in their security? Where are the cries, protests, and demands this be addressed? Here is a great article and definitely worth reading: Priorities We place armed security in our banks, jewelry stores, airports and transportation terminals, rock concerts and football games. We protect our politicians, athletes, and entertainers and we don’t protect our most precious children with the same? The monsters committing these atrocities know that they are gun free zones filled with people that have no real method of defense or protection, making them a soft and attractive target. These cowards aren’t going to go somewhere where they know someone or something may stand against them. Where are the cries, protests, and demands this be addressed? Society We have experienced a shift and now live in a world that glorifies violence, not only in games, movies, songs, television, etc. but also in headlines. We are becoming a people desensitized to the horrors and truths of violence, and we see these gruesome scenes played out in our schools and on our streets. The breakdown of the American family and increase of violent mental illness is taking its toll on our country. We have so few tools and methods to deal with these, and so the degeneration just continues. Where are the cries, protests, and demands this be addressed? At what age? Men and women may serve our country in the military and vote at the age of 18. Two of the most important things a citizen of this country can do. If they are adult enough to risk their lives for our freedoms and adult enough to vote for those that are responsible for running our government, then they are adult enough to own a gun responsibly. They are either kids or adults; it can’t be both. There are more than 120 million responsible gun owners, a large percentage of which are young people. Don’t all of the men and women between 18-21 have the right to self-protection? The Second Amendment The Second Amendment of our Constitution exists for our protection against a tyrannical government and the self-defense of our God-given right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I have been mocked publically for stating this truth as if I am a “nut” for thinking I need protection against our very own government in this day and age. The Second Amendment is about protecting our future, and it acts as a mighty deterrent to prevent tyranny. I find it interesting that those that call our current president a tyrant and warn that he is like Hitler don’t have a different view on the Second Amendment? We must be cautious and objective and look at the entirety of an issue before legislating an inalienable and constitutionally protected right. A constitutional right is an entirely different thing than government legislated privileges such as driving a car or purchasing alcohol. Do we really want solutions? As you can see, there are so many complicated issues that we as a country must deal with. We all want the same things – people that shouldn’t have guns not having them and for all law abiding and innocent people to be safe and free from harm. I believe people want the quick fix and to “feel better.” They want and need to feel like they “did something” to make it stop. Although just like everyone else, I want the murder of innocents to stop. There is no quick fix. We may want to think more gun laws will do it, but they won’t. We must fight this urge and be willing to dig deep into the complicated and painful issues that are at the core of these problems. It will be difficult and will take a very long time to accomplish. If we truly want it to stop – we must be committed to solutions, no matter how hard or how long it takes. To do anything less makes us complicit in the next tragedy.

Court Ruling Could Banish Memorial Crosses from Arlington Cemetery

By Todd Starnes - March 4, 2018

There is a very real possibility that war memorial crosses at Arlington National Cemetery could be in jeopardy, a federal judge warned in a chilling dissent to a court case involving the fate of a 90-year-old monument honoring soldiers in Bladensburg, Maryland. The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday refused to revisit an October decision that declared the 90-year-old “Peace Cross” was unconstitutional because it rests on public property. Tired of Facebook censoring Conservative Commentary? Click here to sign up for Todd’s free weekly email to guarantee you get access to Todd’s columns! The monument is a memorial to the 49 men from Prince George’s County, Maryland who died fighting for liberty in World War I. The memorial, paid for by the American Legion and local citizens, consists of a large Celtic cross on a pedestal inscribed with the words “Valor,” “Endurance,” “Courage,” and “Devotion.” The American Humanist Association, which represents a vicious gang of humanist and atheist thugs, was responsible for filing the original lawsuit. “Government war memorials should respect all veterans, not just those from one religious group,” AHA attorney Monica Miller said. “The cross unconstitutionally endorses Christianity and favors Christian soldiers to exclusion of all others.” That, of course, is an outright lie perpetrated by some very bad people. The Establishment Clause actually allows monuments that include religious symbols and text to stand on public land, according to Van Orden v. Perry. You need to understand the American Humanist Association’s ultimate goal – they want to eradicate any public mention of Christianity. They want to destroy the Judeo-Christian values and teachings that flavor every one of our founding documents. They have declared war on Christians in America and they will not stop until God and Jesus and the Bible are scrubbed from the public marketplace. Federal Judge Paul Niemeyer warned people of faith that the Bladensburg ruling could lead to the unthinkable – the removal of memorial crosses at Arlington National Cemetery. “It…puts at risk hundreds of monuments with similar symbols standing on public grounds across the country, such as those in nearby Arlington National Cemetery, where crosses of comparable size stand in commemoration of fallen soldiers,” Judge Niemeyer wrote in his chilling dissent. First Liberty Institute and Jones Day, the law firms, representing the American Legion, vowed to appeal to the Supreme Court. And they should. Otherwise, the atheists will be free to commandeer bulldozers and turn our war memorial across the nation into piles of rubble.

A Plague Has Been Unleashed On America And We May Not Be Able To Survive It - Colossal Red Alert Issued As Globalists Prepare 'Final Event' To Complete Their 'Take Down' Of America

March 5, 2018 "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague." Marcus Tullius Cicero

By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

According to this new story from Mike Adams over at Natural News, youtube has just deleted over 1,700 of his videos about nutrition, natural medicine, history, science and current day events from his youtube channel. Just the latest purge in a censorship rampage directed at Conservatives and independent thought that is being directed by none other than radical, hate-mongering SPLC, a group that despises Christians and the US Constitution, the purge of independent media videos was also the latest loud and clear warning to America that the globalists are preparing to rain their satanic hell down upon our nation once again. With this 'purge' another sign that a huge 'false flag' event is likely ahead in the upcoming days or weeks as Adams hints at in the tweet seen at the top of this story, an event that the globalists don't want the American people to find out the truth about via independent media with the 'Florida event' having unraveled virally thanks to a youtube video that they censored after it had already done its damage, as ANP reader My2Cents wisely commented on this March 3rd ANP story by Susan Duclos: "Something to think about, just before a coup or an overthrow or some massive event, what do the plotters do? They shut down and/or take control of communications." A tactic also spoken of by Sun Tzu in his legendary book "The Art of War", the severing of communications of one's enemies has long been outlined as an offensive military tactic which can be used in several different ways. Interdiction – severing or disrupting lines of communication and supply Disrupting communications Electronic countermeasures Radar jamming Radio jamming And while the 'military tactics' Wikipedia entry doesn't specifically mention taking down youtube channels or popular websites, tyranny needs to take different avenues in 2018 than it has taken in previous times yet the madness and goals of the tyrants remain the same.: To silence all opposition voices. With youtube also targeting Alex Jones and Infowars with Jones allegedly recently told that all of his videos would soon be taken down, if Americans don't see what we're now up against and fight back against this tyranny with all of our might, (peacefully, of course, while we still can), freedom will soon be a thing of the past. And in the termination of the Health Ranger's channel and the deletion of all of his videos, we also get a hint of the direction which this 'massive forthcoming false flag' might take, especially considering still-missing CDC official Timothy Cunningham and all of the alternative health doctors who have been literally 'purged' from the planet (at least 85 now) that have been painstakingly documented on the Health Nut News website by Erin Elizabeth for almost 3 years running now. Why would so many alternative health practitioners meet their untimely and, in many cases 'mysterious', ends within such a short period of time? Certainly such people are on the front lines in our battle against disease, most of them uncontrolled by 'big pharma' and 'corporate medicine', thorns in the sides of 'big pharma' and the deadly poisons that they peddle. With evidence that the flu virus has been deliberately weaponized for widest transmission as reported in this story that Steve Quayle linked to on his website on Saturday another sign that it is well within the potential range of evil of these people who've long used the American people as 'guinea pigs' for their diabolical experiments, we remind you of this July 4th of 2007 story from Science Daily which reported upon efforts to find preserved samples of the 1918 influenza virus. The 1918 influenza pandemic was the most devastating single disease outbreak in modern history, and examining the virus that caused it may help prepare for, and possibly prevent, future pandemics. When the complete sequence of the 1918 virus was published in 2005, it represented a watershed event for influenza researchers worldwide. It also put the 1918 virus back into laboratories and while at this moment there is no way that we can be sure that the globalists are ready to unleash a deadly pandemic upon America and the world to finish their goals of 'culling the masses' and get our planet down to the 'more manageable' 500 million engraved upon the Georgia Guidestones as their population goal for our planet, history has proven that anybody who still thinks that 'government' has our best interests in mind is gravely mistaken. All the way back in 1992, then-President George Herbert Walker Bush was said to have uttered the following quote to Texas journalist Sarah McLendon, then the 'grand dame' of the White House press corp and somebody that Bush had known for years: "If the American people knew what we have done, they would string us up from the lamp posts". Allegedly Bush's response to McLendon after she had asked him "What will the American people do if they ever find out the truth about Iraq-gate and Iran-contra?", Bush's alleged answer could have also been what he was thinking should the American people have ever found out that he and his cohorts had sold America out to globalism, with Bush specifically uttering the phrase "New World Order" during his 1991 State of the Union speech before Congress, America and the world. And while Bush's remarks brought goosebumps to some of those listening who didn't quite understand then that in Bush's announcement, he was telling us he had sold away the sovereignty of the US to 'a bigger idea', never did he hint that this 'new world order' would be totalitarian and satanic in nature as we've learned of this 'new world order' since then. From Bush's 1991 speech. What is at stake is more than one small country; it is a big idea: a new world order, where diverse nations are drawn together in common cause to achieve the universal aspirations of mankind -- peace and security, freedom, and the rule of law. Such is a world worthy of our struggle and worthy of our children's future. The world can, therefore, seize this opportunity to fulfill the long-held promise of a new world order, where brutality will go unrewarded and aggression will meet collective resistance. According to the definitions furnished in this January 25th of 1861 story from the NY Times (not a spelling error in the date), treason against the United States of America has been committed against the United States over and over again in recent years by those who had chosen to arm our enemies and sell America secrets to enrich themselves. Yet as we see in this description below that outlines Congress having the power to declare the punishment of treason we have a huge problem, what if it were huge numbers of Congress members who are also committing that treason? From that 1861 story we see treason listed as the very highest crime that can be committed in civil society, yet they do it over and over again unpunished. By Section 110 of Article III of the Constitution of the United States, it is declared that: "Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open Court. The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason." Treason has ever been deemed the highest crime which can be committed in civil society; since its aim is an overthrow of the Government and a public resistance by force of its just powers, its tendency is to create universal danger and alarm, and on this account it has often been visited with the deepest public resentment. Hence, by the common law, the the punishment of high treason was accompanied by all the refinements in cruelty which were oftentimes literally and studiously executed. But under the Constitution of the United States the power of punishing the crime of treason against the United States is exclusive in Congress; and the trial of the offence belongs exclusively to the Federal tribunals. A State cannot take cognizance or punish the offence, whatever it may do in relation to the offence of treason committed exclusively against itself. Should those who've committed unpunished treason against America and the American people go unpunished, America will never return to a true 'rule of law' and the 'rule of law' we have will continue to spiral into totalitarianism. While Hillary was one step away from being able to flush the truth down the memory hole for eternity had she been able to steal the election as she stole the DNC from Bernie Sanders, we still remain only one massive event away from the 'take down' of 'Constitutional' America. As we reported on ANP back on February 28th, a war upon the truth would have to take place before the globalists launched their final 'false flag' attacks upon America and it's no surprise that we're now witnessing such a war unfolding before our eyes, telling us just how close we must be to the 'globalists next big event'. And while we absolutely understand the concern from 'Patriots' all across America over recent moves being made to stifle the 1st Amendment and completely take down the 2nd Amendment and concerns that President Trump isn't doing enough to help the very base that helped to get him elected, the final video below is a must watch that 'QAnon' recently linked to. In the video from before the election we hear President Trump tells us the Clinton's are a crime family and at the very root of the totally corrupt globalist power structure that has committed treason against America and has long worked against the American people. For those who may have missed it since youtube has taken down the video, in the 2nd video below, Mike Adams warns us on Vimeo that the mother of all false flags is likely coming, one reason that this massive purge is now ongoing. In the first video below from Stefan Molyneux called 'The End Of The World As We Know It' they talk about Western societies ills and attempt to trace them back to some of their root causes including the damage done to children via public school indoctrination, something we're watching increasing to this day as Susan Duclos recently reported in this ANP story.

US developing its own ‘invincible’ hypersonic weapons

American effort said to lag Russia, China

By Asia Times staff March 3, 2018 1:25 AM (UTC+8)

The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, is developing ‘invincible’ hypersonic weapons similar to the Russian ones alluded to by President Vladimir Putin in a speech in Moscow on Thursday. Putin said in parliament that Russia has developed an “unstoppable” hypersonic missile that can’t be downed by Western air defenses. “DARPA and the US Air Force are working on two hypersonic weapon concepts. One is the Tactical Boost Glide weapon,” military website Defense One said on Friday. “A rocket accelerates the craft to very high speeds and altitudes, then glides back to earth. The other is the hypersonic air-breathing weapon concept, or HAWC, whose scramjet engine takes in air at supersonic speeds, compresses it, and pushes it through a nozzle out the back.” DARPA director Steven Walker said the top-secret US arms research agency is focusing on breakthroughs that can be configured as part of new weapons systems, while calculating out how much these weapons will cost. “Things are moving,” Walker was quoted as saying. “This is becoming not just [a science and technology] thing. The services are interested in moving forward with real capabilities.” But Walker also says US R&D on hypersonic weapons isn’t keeping pace with Russia and China. He noted that DARPA is pushing to test a hypersonic missile before 2020 but the agency needs more resources. “If you look at some of our peer competitors, China being one, the number of facilities that they’ve built to do hypersonics… surpasses the number we have in this country. It’s quickly surpassing it by 2 or 3 times. It is very clear that China has made this one of their national priorities. We need to do the same,” Walker told a press briefing. The DARPA director declined to comment on Putin’s claim that Russia has a hypersonic missile that can beat enemy antimissile systems.

US tailors forces to deter growing Chinese nuclear threat

The Pentagon's Nuclear Posture Review outlines a new 'tailored deterrence' policy that seeks to persuade Chinese leaders to avoid miscalculations – provocative action in the South China Sea, or hostile activity related to Taiwan or Japan – that could escalate into war.

By Bill Gertz March 5, 2018 3:23 PM (UTC+8)

Russia’s leader Vladimir Putin unveiled several new nuclear weapons last week in a replay of the Cold War. China, meanwhile, is continuing a similar buildup of high-technology strategic nuclear forces that remains largely hidden from view. Chinese secrecy about its nuclear forces and their use was a major theme of the Pentagon’s recently completed Nuclear Posture Review that outlined a new “tailored deterrence” policy for China. The new plan is aimed at persuading Chinese leaders to avoid military miscalculations – like provocative actions in the South China Sea, or hostile activities related to Taiwan or Japan – that could quickly escalate into a nuclear exchange. The unclassified posture review shed little light on the details of the buildup of China’s nuclear forces other than identifying what were called “entirely new nuclear capabilities.” They include several new types of missiles, including hypersonic weapons, satellite-killing missiles and regional intermediate-range nuclear forces. The review takes note of the main threat of a nuclear war between the United States and China: A military encounter that escalates into a regional conflict culminating in a nuclear exchange involving China’s regional nuclear-armed missiles. “Our tailored strategy for China is designed to prevent Beijing from mistakenly concluding that it could secure an advantage through the limited use of its theater nuclear capabilities, or that any use of nuclear weapons, however limited, is acceptable,” the review states. The Pentagon did not specify how tailored deterrence would work. It warned that the United States “will maintain the capability to credibly threaten intolerable damage as Chinese leaders calculate costs and benefits, such that the costs incurred as a result of Chinese nuclear employment, at any level of escalation, would vastly outweigh any benefit.” Strategic military planning for China, however, would likely seek to put at risk what Chinese leaders hold most dearly: Continued rule by the Communist Party of China. Thus, U.S. tailored deterrence would involve signaling to the Chinese leadership that any future conflict would result in the destruction of the Chinese Communist Party, and its military arm, the People’s Liberation Army. Robust security for Chinese leaders Chinese leadership statements and military writings make clear China probably understands that strategy, and the military has invested heavily in defending Party leaders. The PLA has built robust leadership security systems that include networks of underground escape and transit systems to be used by senior Party leaders in a crisis or conflict. For example, the Zhongnanhai leadership compound in Beijing, where Party leaders live and work, includes a terminal for a large underground tunnel and rail system that runs to a major command center west of the city known as the Western Hills. From that command center, other underground trains and tunnels lead to additional secure facilities in various parts of the country. Unfortunately for the Chinese, U.S. intelligence agencies have known the locations of many of these leadership protection facilities. And the Pentagon has been developing precision-guided bombs and missiles capable of penetrating the underground bunkers and tunnels – putting China’s most valuable strategic assets at risk. Beijing refuses to discuss its nuclear policies One problem for the United States has been China’s repeated refusal to engage in official discussions that could make such deterrence goals clear. “We have long sought a dialogue with China to enhance our understanding of our respective nuclear policies, doctrine, and capabilities; to improve transparency; and to help manage the risks of miscalculation and misperception,” the review says. “We hope that China will share this interest and that meaningful dialogue can commence.” The reason China does not hold such talks is the Chinese view that any discussion of its strategic nuclear and non-nuclear capabilities – such as nuclear forces, space weapons and cyber-attack capabilities – as undermining deterrence. That was disclosed several years ago in a classified State Department cable outlining a June 2008 meeting in Beijing. During the talks, U.S. officials called on China to be more open about its nuclear capabilities. In response, China’s then-Assistant Foreign Minister He Yafei responded that China’s nuclear forces were a “sensitive issue” and officials engaged in the talks did not even know the size of China’s nuclear arsenal. “Now is not the time for China to tell others what we have,” He Yafei said, adding that even revealing the size of the nuclear arsenal would “eliminate its deterrent value.” Thus, excessive secrecy remains a hallmark of China’s approach to deterrence. By keeping its nuclear and non-nuclear military power secret, China calculates the United States will not risk a conflict without fully knowing what kind of weapons will be used. The Pentagon’s new posture review, however, appears to be taking the Chinese strategic secrecy into account. Pentagon expanding conditions for using nukes Because China is developing new and formidable capabilities to threaten U.S. interests and those of allies and partners, the Pentagon is expanding the conditions for using nuclear forces in response to non-nuclear attacks, such as the destruction of satellites or devastating cyber attacks on power grids. “The United States is prepared to respond decisively to Chinese non-nuclear or nuclear aggression,” the review says. While continuing to seek “meaningful dialogue” with China, the United States will use military exercises that demonstrate nuclear strike capabilities, and, second, will increase the range of “graduated nuclear response options available to the president,” the review said. China’s Defense Ministry reacted to the nuclear review with harsh criticism. Spokesman Ren Guoqiang, repeating standard Beijing propaganda, saying the review’s view of China as a threat was a reflection of American anti-communism. “We hope the US side will discard its ‘cold-war mentality,’ shoulder its own special and primary responsibility for nuclear disarmament, understand correctly China’s strategic intentions and take a fair view on China’s national defense and military development,” he said. American defense officials say the secret version of posture review includes details on the weapons of concern, including the growing arsenal of land-based missiles of various types and ranges, and the addition of multiple warheads that are both independently targetable and maneuverable. China’s vast underground tunnel network The secret review also addresses the numerous unknowns about China’s nuclear modernization program, such as total warheads in the stockpile, their location in the 3,000-mile long underground tunnel network known as the Great Underground War, and uncertainties about the chain of command and decision-making for using nuclear arms. Most American intelligence analysts and military planners doubt the official Chinese declaratory policy of not being the first nation to use nuclear weapons in a conflict. “While China’s declaratory policy and doctrine have not changed, its lack of transparency regarding the scope and scale of its nuclear modernization program raises questions regarding its future intent,” the review states. All signs related to the Chinese nuclear buildup, especially the increase in both numbers and capabilities for short- and medium-range nuclear missiles, suggest Beijing is preparing to use its nuclear arsenal during the early phases of a conflict and not after a nuclear strike on China. Like the United States, China appears to be planning to blend nuclear and conventional military power in tandem. China, Russia increased nukes while US cut back Thus, nuclear explosions in space designed to knock out U.S. intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and command and control systems could be a first use of nuclear arms early in a conflict. Once satellites have been disabled, China’s formidable cyber forces would go to work attacking critical infrastructure, including attacks on the U.S. electric grid. The US relies on its network of satellites to maintain a strategic edge over rivals. This is a target-rich environment for space-based weapons. Photo: Nasa image screen grab. The review also accuses China of exploiting American nuclear weapons restraint, which took place during the administration of President Barack Obama when nuclear weapons were downgraded in U.S. defense strategy. While the US reduced nuclear arms, China and Russia both “moved in the opposite direction,” the review states. Beijing’s nuclear build-up The nuclear buildup is a central part of what Chinese supreme leader Xi Jinping has announced the PLA will fully modernize by 2050. The weapons include a new road-mobile strategic intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), a new multi-warhead version of its DF-5 silo-based ICBM, and its most advanced ballistic missile submarine armed with new submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBM). A new bomber is also planned that would provide Beijing with a complete nuclear triad. The intermediate-range DF-26, a missile with precision guidance, is also one of the major strategic nuclear missiles that can strike both land and naval targets. A further indication of China’s growing strategic offensive capabilities is the development of Chinese missile defenses. While Beijing routinely criticizes American homeland missile defenses as destabilizing, China is secretly building two types of long-range missile defenses, a new mid-course defense against incoming ICBMs along with a sea-based mid-course defense and theater ballistic missiles defenses. The new US deterrence policy is likely to remain wrapped in secrecy unless China changes its policy of not engaging in strategic talks with the United States.

Russian Superweapons

By Hal Lindsey

President Trump’s critics seem to have their wish. The Cold War is on again! Over the last few days, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a series of new superweapons. Among those weapons is what he called an “invincible,” nuclear-capable, intercontinental cruise missile that travels at 20 times the speed of sound. He said, “No defense systems will be able to withstand it.” According to Russian media, the so-called “Satan 2” can wipe out an area the size of Texas or France. Putin also showed off next-generation ICBMs, underwater drones, and nuclear depth charges. Russia recently announced development of a nuclear-armed torpedo that can take out aircraft carriers as well as coastal cities. “Efforts to contain Russia have failed, face it,” Putin said. There is good evidence that Russia is at least close to putting these new devices into production. The US must assume that the weapons are as capable as advertised. That means a new arms race, and a far more dangerous world. Donald J. Trump is not a traditional conservative. In the past, conservatives tended to take a hard line with the Russians and, before that, with the Soviet Union. Liberals, on the other hand, emphasized the need for communication and cooperation. Clearly, there are appropriate situations for each of those approaches. Before the Trump presidential campaign, you could usually guess where someone stood on Russia by looking at their other political positions. That’s still true in 2018, but the roles have been reversed. Trump and a new generation of conservatives want friendship and cooperation with Russia — the liberals seem itching for a fight. The Trump Administration, and before that, the Trump campaign, were roundly criticized for not being tough enough on Russia. During 2016, Trump told Bill O’Reilly, “If we can make a great deal for our country and get along with Russia that would be a tremendous thing. I would love to try it.” In July of that year, he said, “I would treat Vladimir Putin firmly, but there’s nothing I can think of that I’d rather do than have Russia friendly.” Later, he said, “Wouldn’t it be a great thing if we could get along with Russia?” In an October debate, Hillary Clinton called Trump, Putin’s “puppet.” In that same debate, Trump accused Clinton of playing a game of nuclear “chicken” with the Russians. So, Donald Trump, champion of conservatives, has tried to take a relatively liberal position concerning Putin and the Russians. At the same time, liberals have suddenly decided it’s time to get tough with Russia. They accuse Trump of going easy on Putin. They claim his softer approach comes from making a deal with Putin to help him get elected — the so-called Russian collusion. The problem is that their best evidence so far does not hold up. Much of the media agrees with the liberals that the President’s peaceful overtures to Russia raise a red flag. CNN ran a long article that included 80 quotes of Trump talking positively about Putin. The quotes started in 2013 when Trump, the owner of the Miss Universe pageant, held that pageant in Moscow. Most of the 2016 quotes come from the campaign trail. All politicians use a standard stump speech, and Trump’s standard speech called for America to try to work cooperatively with Russia. But CNN said, “His glowing statements on Putin have become central in stoking the suspicion that he and his campaign were somehow connected to Russian interference in the election.” So far in his dealings with Moscow, President Trump has shown no evidence of wanting to give away the store — as have some of his predecessors. If he or she does not diminish America’s strategic position, a President should be allowed to work toward a peaceful relationship with a former enemy without being called a traitor. Calling for peaceful negotiation should not be seen as evidence of illegal collusion. These Russian next-generation weapons have been in the works for years, if not decades. That means we can’t blame them on President Trump, or his critics. But it clearly hurts the US position when any overture of peace the President may extend toward Russia is presented to the US public as a sign of collusion. Russia’s new superweapons, along with those of China, are quickly changing the world’s balance of power. The Russians’ cyber campaign to disrupt US elections, along with this massive new upgrade to their weapons of mass destruction, mean that Trump will have to deal with them as enemies before he can work with them as friends. And make no mistake, they are a formidable enemy. Bible prophecy presents Russia as one of the major players on the world stage during the last days — capable of quickly unleashing awesome destructive force. Like the United States, Israel has a whole arsenal of missile defense systems — all of them apparently made obsolete by Russia’s new missiles. In fact, the Bible says that Russia’s future attack on Israel will not be stopped by human military might. They will be defeated by God Himself. The countdown to the end of the age continues.

Jesus Is Coming Soon!

by Hal Lindsey

For more than fifty years, I have lived in the urgent expectation of Jesus’ return. Fifty years is a long time. Do I regret it? Was I wrong? No and no! In Luke 12:37, Jesus said, “Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching.” (NKJV) As followers of Christ, we are to live in a state of watchfulness. A thousand years ago, there were Christians living in expectation of His coming. They were not foolish to do so. They were obedient. Titus 2:13 directs us to be “looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.” (NKJV) Those Christians from previous generations who lived in expectancy of Christ’s return tended also to be those who lived closest to Him. They were the ones most interested in His word, in sharing the Gospel, helping the poor, and caring for the sick. If you’re always on the lookout for Christ’s return, someone will inevitably remind you that no one knows the day nor the hour. But they’re missing the point. It’s precisely because we do not know the day nor hour of His return that we are to be watchful. In Matthew 24:42, Jesus said, “Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.” (NKJV) For two thousand years, people have been watching. That sounds like a long time, but remember this. God gave the first promise of His first coming to Adam and Eve. It took thousands of years, but God kept His word and Jesus came. By human standards, the Lord may sometimes seem slow. But He has a reason for that. 2 Peter 3:9-10 says, “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come.” (NKJV) When skeptics complain about God allowing evil and pain in the world, remember that “the Lord is not slack.” He will one day stop all the child molesters, terrorists, and other criminals. And He will hold them to account. But He won’t just stop the evil you don’t like. He will stop all evil. He will hold everyone to account. Why does he wait? Because He “is longsuffering toward us.” He’s “not willing that any should perish.” He wants everyone to “come to repentance” — turn to Him and be saved. For now, love and concern compel Him to wait. But He will not wait forever. Earlier in the same chapter, Peter wrote, “Knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, ‘Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.’” (2 Peter 3:3-4 NKJV) I’m convinced that these are the last days, and can assure you that scoffers have come. “I’ve been hearing this all my life!” … “You’ve been saying this for fifty years!” Yes, and I will keep on saying it because it’s still true. There are no signs yet to be fulfilled before the rapture. But signs of the Second Coming are everywhere. Since the rapture comes before the Second Coming, the rapture has to be exceedingly close! The big thing that makes our time different from any other is the existence of Israel as a nation, and the Jews having control of Jerusalem. But there are other things unique to our time, as well. For instance, before now the world did not have the technology needed for the Antichrist to control commerce as completely as the Bible foretells. There’s another sign unique to today. Jesus is coming soon . . . because He must! In dozens of areas, human civilization is hurtling headlong toward destruction. Look at just one — machines with artificial intelligence. Scientists like Stephen Hawking warn of such machines taking over the world, destroying the human race in the process. Far out? Even longtime proponents of artificial intelligence have now joined in the warnings. Air Force General Paul Selva, the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the U.S. Defense Department, recently warned about “autonomous weapons systems” similar to the title character in the movie, “The Terminator” — and just as dangerous. General Selva sees weapons that are not under direct human control as a menace to mankind. And, like self-driving cars, they’re just around the corner. Then there’s nuclear proliferation. Some people take comfort from the fact that no nuclear weapons have been used in combat since 1945. But that’s like taking comfort from the fact that you’ve been playing Russian roulette for an hour and no shots have been fired. Just keep playing, and the odds will catch up to you. During the Cold War, Carl Sagan, wrote, “The nuclear arms race is like two sworn enemies standing waist deep in gasoline, one with three matches, the other with five.” Except now, a madman in Korea also holds a match. The nation of Iran, run by religious fanatics who see it as their job to create an apocalypse, also have, or will soon have, a match in their hands. Next door neighbor enemies, India and Pakistan, both have nukes. Russia has more than anybody, and no one knows if their leader is crazy or not. But don’t be afraid. Things are shaping up as God said they would. Just be sure you have invited Jesus to save you. Receive the pardon purchased for you when He died on the cross. He will instantly give you a new heart with new desires. Ask Him to empower you with His Holy Spirit. Then remember to thank Him for all these things. In His power, you will begin to live a life that will draw others to Him as well.

The Mind Of Technocracy: China Pushes Race-Based ‘Narcissistic Nationalism’

Written By: Alternate Author March 4, 2018

China’s totalitarian/cultural history and Technocracy fit hand-in-glove. The current leader, Xi Jinping, has declared himself emperor-for-life and is modeling himself after the butcher of the 20th century, Mao Zedong. China will replicate itself whenever and wherever it can. This China expert, Steven Mosher, says that “There is only one country in the world, I argue, and this is China, that is a disease of the heart” and “China intends to snuff out America as the leading power in the world.” ⁃ TN Editor The Chinese state deploys “ethnic-based” and “racial-based” nationalistic messaging to its subjects, said bestselling author and Asia expert Steven Mosher in a Wednesday interview on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Tonight with Breitbart Senior Editor-at-Large Rebecca Mansour. Mosher, the author of Bully of Asia: Why China’s Dream is the New Threat to World Order, explained that China’s progressively “totalitarian” apparatus includes nationalistic messaging with elements of the Hitlerian paradigm of racial struggle. “The Chinese communist party is making explicitly ethnic-based, nationalistic, racial-based appeals to the Chinese people,” said Mosher. “It tells them that the Yellow Emperor, the mythical founder of China five thousand years ago, is the father of not only all living Chinese, but all Tibetans, the Mongols, the Manchus, all the races within China. It basically says, “We are one race. We are a superior race, and we have a natural right to once again dominate Asia and the rest of the world.” China’s political elite subscribe to civilizational self-assuredness, said Mosher, believing in the inevitability and desirability of the global ascendance of China’s brand of authoritarianism. “China has great regard for itself,” said Mosher. “It produced its own high civilization, and there are many things about Chinese civilization that are admirable, but it imagines that its own civilization surpasses anything the West or the rest of the world has to offer. This is a theory that’s propagated by the Chinese communist party for reasons of narcissistic nationalism, and it believes by reason of its superior culture, its own universal deference, that we should all — all China’s neighbors, near and far — should all bow and kowtow into recognition of its superiority, and we should naturally give in to its whims.” The Chinese government seeks to displace America as the world’s primary superpower through economic designs across Eurasia, said Mosher. “China is already becoming the dominant power in East Asia, and now it’s reaching with its One Belt One Road [project] across the Eurasian continent,” said Mosher. “Its purpose is quite clear. It wants to draw the economy of all Asian and European countries into China’s orbit. It wants to reorient the world’s economy around China, and with that economic dominance will come strategic dominance.” “If they come to dominate Eurasia with four billion people and sixty percent of the world’s economy, I think it’s game over,” warned Mosher. Expectations of China’s liberalization and democratization — including politically deterministic views of history — over decades were misguided, said Mosher. China’s authoritarianism is deepening as it returns to its cultural and political roots, he said: A lot of people over the past 25 years continued to labor under the illusion that China and the United States were somehow converging, that China was going to become more open, respect human rights, eventually they would begin to practice democracy. China’s not going that way. China’s going in the other direction. China’s going back to its roots, and you know what its roots are. As I mentioned in Bully of Asia, two thousand years ago, China, under the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty in 220 B.C. had political commissars in the military. The people were not permitted to bear arms. There was a cult of personality glorifying the emperor. The government propaganda corps was established. There was government censorship. They burned the books of ideas that were threatening to the regime. They had concentration camps. They purged and killed Confucian scholars. They had a secret police. All of the things that we associate with modern Marxist-Leninism, with modern bureaucratic totalitarianism, were actually invented in China over two thousand years ago. So what we see in China today is China reverting to type. China [is] going back to its own historic roots, its own founding documents. In the same way we look back at the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, they look back to the ancient legalist writings about how to organize a state where every allegiance is owed to the emperor and to the state itself and the people are crushed. The crushing of the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 had been a death knell for hopes of China’s political liberalization and democratization, said Mosher. “The hope for democracy and freedom in China died on Tiananmen Square on June 4, 1989,” said Mosher. “Millions of students, workers, and even government bureaucrats had taken to the streets of China demanding freedom and liberty, holding up signs with quotations from Jefferson, Lincoln, and Washington, and then leader of China Deng Xiaoping responded with troops and tanks and mowed down people, innocent students in the streets of the capital city, ran them down with tanks. They were having to scrape the dead bodies off the pavement for days afterwards.” Totalitarianism originated in China before the common era, said Mosher. China’s modern political iteration includes the concept of Big Brother from George Orwell’s dystopian novel 1984: “Totalitarianism was invented China 2,500 years ago, the total subjugation of the individual to the state. And of course it practises a kind of digital dictatorship which comes very close to the totalitarian ideal that everybody should be watched all the time by the state and any suggestion of subversive activity or even thought should be snuffed out.” Read full story here…

In Defense of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms

By Andrew P. Napolitano March 1, 2018

The Ash Wednesday massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, seems to have broken more hearts than similar tragedies that preceded it. It was no more senseless than other American school shootings, but there is something about the innocence and bravery and eloquence of the youthful survivors that has touched the souls of Americans deeply. After burying their dead, the survivors have mobilized into a mighty political force that loosely seeks more laws to regulate the right to keep and bear arms. The young people, traumatized and terrified with memories of unspeakable horror that will not fade, somehow think that a person bent on murder will obey gun laws. Every time I watch these beautiful young people, I wince, because in their understandable sadness is the potential for madness — “madness” being defined as the passionate and stubborn refusal to accept reason. This often happens after tragedy. After watching the government railroad Abraham Lincoln’s killer’s conspirators — and even some folks who had nothing to do with the assassination — the poet Herman Melville wrote: “Beware the People weeping. When they bare the iron hand.” It is nearly impossible to argue rationally with tears and pain, which is why we all need to take a step back from this tragedy before legally addressing its causes. If you believe in an all-knowing, all-loving God as I do, then you accept the concept of natural rights. These are the claims and privileges that are attached to humanity as God’s gifts. If you do not accept the existence of a Supreme Being, you can still accept the concept of natural rights, as it is obvious that humans are the superior rational beings on earth. Our exercise of reason draws us all to the exercise of freedoms, and we can do this independent of the government. Stated differently, both the theist and the atheist can accept the concept of natural human rights. Thomas Jefferson, who claimed to be neither theist nor atheist, wrote in the Declaration of Independence that all men are created equal and are “endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.” Such rights cannot be separated from us, as they are integral to our humanity. Foremost among our unalienable rights is the right to life — the right to be and to remain alive. And that right implies the right to defend life — the right to self-defense. If I am about to assault you in the nose, you can duck, run away or punch me first. If I am about to strike your children, you can strike me first. If I am about to do either of those things with a gun, you can shoot me first, and no reasonable jury will convict you. In fact, no reasonable prosecutor will charge you. The reason for all this is natural. It is natural to defend yourself — your life — and your children. The Framers recognized this right when they ratified the Second Amendment. They wrote it to ensure that all governments would respect the right to keep and bear arms as a natural extension of the right to self-defense. In its two most recent interpretations of the right to self-defense, the Supreme Court characterized that right as “pre-political.” That means the right pre-existed the government. If it pre-existed the government, it must come from our human nature. I once asked Justice Antonin Scalia, the author of the majority’s opinion in the first of those cases, called the District of Columbia v. Heller, why he used the term “pre-political” instead of “natural.” He replied, “You and I know they mean the same thing, but ‘natural’ sounds too Catholic, and I am interpreting the Constitution, not Aquinas.” With the Heller case, the court went on to characterize this pre-political right as an individual and personal one. It also recognized that the people who wrote the Second Amendment had just fought a war against a king and his army — a war that they surely would have lost had they not kept and carried arms that were equal to or better than what the British army had. They didn’t write the Second Amendment to protect the right to shoot deer; they wrote it to protect the right to self-defense — whether against bad guys, crazy people or a tyrannical government bent on destroying personal liberty. In Heller, the court also articulated that the right to use guns means the right to use guns that are at the same level of sophistication as the guns your potential adversary might have, whether that adversary be a bad guy, a crazy person or a soldier of a tyrannical government. But even after Heller, governments have found ways to infringe on the right to self-defense. Government does not like competition. Essentially, government is the entity among us that monopolizes force. The more force it monopolizes the more power it has. So it has enacted, in the name of safety, the least safe places on earth — gun-free zones. The nightclub in Orlando, the government offices in San Bernardino, the schools in Columbine, Newtown and Parkland were all killing zones because the government prohibited guns there and the killers knew this. We all need to face a painful fact of life: The police make mistakes like the rest of us and simply cannot be everywhere when we need them. When government fails to recognize this and it disarms us in selected zones, we become helpless before our enemies. But it could be worse. One of my Fox News colleagues asked me on-air the other day: Suppose we confiscated all guns; wouldn’t that keep us safe? I replied that we’d need to start with the government’s guns. Oh, no, he said. He just meant confiscation among the civilian population. I replied that then we wouldn’t be a civilian population any longer. We’d be a nation of sheep.

With The Impossibility Of Repaying The Mostly Phony National Debt And The Sheer Insanity Of The Criminal Federal Reserve, Will Eating Our Own Children Loom In The Future?

Submitted to All News Pipeline by Pastor Dick Carmack

President Trump and the Republican Congress, along with enthusiastic support from the Democrats have embarked on a final mission to avoid a financial crash coming our way like the world has never seen before. The motivations are different, Trump, trying to delay the inevitable reckoning that will have to come, the Dimms cheering on the crash. The final effect will be the same and the world will eventually suffer horrendously before the Lord Jesus finally returns to rescue humanity from itself and to bring promised judgment. Deficit spending unrestrained, trillion dollar plus budgets will now be REQUIRED, not chosen. The United States Ship of State is sailing madly toward the brink of certain destruction. Instead of choosing to take our lumps now (however bad) and save the nation, we are attempting to circumnavigate what we have done by sailing in ever widening circles. We will now try to SPEND our way out of financial destruction, by incurring more and more debt, doing more and more of what caused it in the first place. Famine looms for the future. La 5:9 We gat our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness. 10 Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine. When industry grinds to a halt, who will grow, process and deliver food? Economic growth by money stimulus is promoted as our only hope, we apparently believe it’s our only chance. It is a vain hope. When it all comes to a head, 90% (perhaps all) of us will be financially wiped out. Economic chaos will come, industry will fail and eventually famine will cause the world to follow in the path of Venezuela, which will finally culminate with people eating their own children to stay alive. Like the biblical story of a woman ready to eat her own child as it is born, De 28:57 And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates. Our world is now on a path to certain destruction, brought about by unrestrained greed for the love of money. It was once brilliantly illustrated by someone lost to history, that if there was only $10 in the world and you borrow it, all the while agreeing to pay it back with 10% interest, you have agreed to the impossible. Only ten dollars exist and you have agreed to pay eleven. 22:7 ¶ The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. The only way your debt could be paid is if another dollar was created and put into the system, otherwise how could you pay it? That’s the situation we find ourselves in. Our Congress in 1913, by which was a fraudulent vote, created the Federal Reserve System giving the power to create money out of nothing, to a group of private bankers and then loan it back to the United States at interest. Pure insanity. The creation of money out of thin air is a power that seems incomprehensible to justify, yet somehow or other new money must be created in order to carry on commerce as the economy grows. Every time debt is incurred, a need for new money is necessary to pay the interest. However that can be done with strict limits an with watchdogs empowered to stop it, if it occurs. A well done and important 47 minute documentary follows that explains what every consumer should make his business to watch and understand. Since that day (1913) so long ago, the money masters of the world have hijacked the Federal Reserve Act and turned it into a money making machine that fills their own pocketbooks by having the American taxpayer pay through the nose for currency that Constitutionally should have been issued by our own government, interest free! The gangsters have to be rooted out of where they are living in the high-rise caves of Wall Street and exposed to the light of day to face their day of justice in open court. If the reader of articles like this just yawns and turns to the next story, nothing will change and when the next election is REALLY HIJACKED by Hillary and her Communist buddies then it will be Katie Bar the Door! Looks like it won’t be long. Hillary or her clone will apply the Coup de Grace and if you try to leave your block it will be “Papers please. Where are you going? What is your purpose? Stand over here please and wait for the next officer. Empty your pockets.” The first necessary step is to fix the money monopoly. Congress must be forced to act to restore Sections 8 and 10 of our Constitution and if the Supreme Court tries to overrule they must be impeached. Please continue reading. Mr 3:27 No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house. The American public is the strong man. We have been bound by our own apathy. If we fail to rise and burn Congress enough to change it, the rope will be taken off our arms and placed around our necks. Can the looters be stopped? Maybe. Our founders wisely anticipated the problem and gave to Congress, and Congress alone, the power to issue money and stipulated it be in coin, thus not permitting paper issue. The Constitution contains only two sections dealing with monetary issues. Section 8 permits Congress to coin money and to regulate its value. Section 10 denies states the right to coin or to print their own money. The framers clearly intended a national monetary system based on coin and for the power to regulate that system to rest only with the federal government. The delegates at the Constitutional convention rejected a clause that would have given Congress the authority to issue paper money They also rejected a measure that would have specifically denied that ability to the federal government (Hammond, 92). Although the Constitution does not state that the federal government has the power to print paper currency, the Supreme Court in McCulloch vs Maryland (1819) ruled unanimously that the Second Bank of the United States and the banknotes it issued on behalf of the federal government were Constitutional. (emphasis added). You say we can’t have coins in denominations of $1000? Why not? If the price of gold goes to $10,000 which is a low estimate, then a $1000 gold piece would be smaller than a penny. When smaller units are needed first use silver, then copper. Also digital money must be eliminated. Thomas Jefferson said he would rest his entire faith in the Federal government if an amendment was passed denying them the right to incur debt. Wisdom however, is a rare commodity among men and when it occasionally raises its head it is quickly attacked. Don’t hold your breath until the amendment passes. Donald Trump has been compared the President Andrew Jackson, and to an extent the comparison is valid. But Trump has yet to go nearly far enough. Here is a brief comparison: “Repeatedly over the past year, Trump has invoked and praised his predecessor in the White House, who served from 1829 to 1837. In addition to various mentions in remarks and on Twitter, Trump placed a portrait of Jackson in the Oval Office and made a pilgrimage to the late president’s tomb in Nashville less than two months after being sworn in.” Trump’s infatuation with Jackson however doesn’t seem to run too deep. Jackson declared war on the nation’s 2nd National Bank, withdrew all federal deposits and reinvested them with State banks, and refused to reissue its charter. Trump has yet to speak, let alone act, against our de-facto National bank called the “Federal Reserve,” which is owned lock, stock and barrel by International banks, who issue “money” at will, out of thin air, and “loan” it to our government charging interest on it. Thus, we “owe” $20 Trillion, with God only knowing how much they have extorted from the public in the past. Due to heavy lobbying by Alexander Hamilton, first Secretary of the Treasury, George Washington signed into law the creation of the First Bank of the United States (1791–1811) That First Bank was modeled after the Bank of England being partly owned by foreigners, who shared in its profits. Also, it was not solely responsible for the country's supply of bank notes. It was responsible for only 20% of the currency supply; state banks accounted for the rest. Learning nothing from the Continental Congress failure to control the issuance of paper notes, the bank proceeded to issue a plethora of notes to finance the War of 1812. The next step toward private greed in national money came with the issuance of the charter for the 2nd Bank of the United States by James Madison, supposedly to stop inflation but actually creating more. Andrew Jackson fiercely opposed its creation calling it an “Engine of Corruption.” Jackson also, when he became President, put the monopoly bank out of business by refusing a renewal of its charter. Will President Trump also declare war on the engine of greed called “international banking?” His actions will be louder than his words. If we can return to what the founders stipulated would all coin have to be minted in Washington? No. Sub-mints and national banks could serve the same function. They would be overseen and regulated by the Comptroller of the Currency which was created for that exact purpose. “That would slow commerce to a crawl.” It might do so to a small extent until the adjustments are made, and that might be a good thing. Whatever would eventually be decided upon, the thrust must be to return the issuance of money back to the Federal government, and that under strict oversight and regulation with adequate safe-guards to keep the robber banks out of the feeding trough. Under Lincoln, “Congress suspended the gold standard in 1861 early in the Civil War and began issuing paper currency (greenbacks).” The greenbacks were non-interest notes. Lincoln was assassinated, some say for taking on the banks. President John F. Kennedy also tried an end-run around the money powers by issuing non-interest bearing United States Notes directly from the Treasury. Kennedy was also assassinated. Did the money masters act in either case to protect their Trillion Dollar Generating Monopoly? Many believe they did. What were the arguments to create the Federal Reserve? According to Wiki again, The Federal Reserve System—also known as the Federal Reserve or simply the Fed—is the central banking system of the United States today. The Federal Reserve's power developed slowly in part due to an understanding at its creation that it was to function primarily as a reserve, a money-creator of last resort to prevent the downward spiral of withdrawal/withholding of funds which characterizes a monetary panic. (emphasis added) The same safeguard could be guaranteed by the Congress if the Freedom Caucus were allowed to guide its formation. Like the camel putting his nose into the tent on a cold night and then taking over to whole tent, the Fed and its minions now control all of the money in America and most of the rest of the world. Those countries that refuse a central bank are declared outlaws and war soon comes to their shore. The taxpayers meanwhile continue to troop faithfully down to the tax office each April and brag about how wonderful our roads are.

YouTube Secretly Using SPLC To Police Videos

The SPLC and other program members help police YouTube for extremist content, ranging from so-called hate speech to terrorist recruiting videos

Daily Caller - February 28, 2018

The Southern Poverty Law Center is assisting YouTube in policing content on their platform, The Daily Caller has learned. The left-wing nonprofit — which has more recently come under fire for labeling legitimate conservative organizations as “hate groups” — is one of the more than 100 nongovernment organizations (NGOs) and government agencies in YouTube’s “Trusted Flaggers” program, a source with knowledge of the arrangement told TheDC. The SPLC and other program members help police YouTube for extremist content, ranging from so-called hate speech to terrorist recruiting videos. All of the groups in the program have confidentiality agreements, a spokesperson for Google, YouTube’s parent company, previously told TheDC. A handful of YouTube’s “Trusted Flaggers,” including the Anti-Defamation League and No Hate Speech — a European organization focused on combatting intolerance — have gone public with their participation in the program. The vast majority of the groups in the program have remained hidden behind their confidentiality agreements. Read more

Palantir has secretly been using New Orleans to test its predictive policing technology

Palantir deployed a predictive policing system in New Orleans that even city council members don’t know about

By Ali Winston Feb 27, 2018, 3:25pm EST Illustrations by Garret Beard and Alex Castro

In May and June 2013, when New Orleans’ murder rate was the sixth-highest in the United States, the Orleans Parish district attorney handed down two landmark racketeering indictments against dozens of men accused of membership in two violent Central City drug trafficking gangs, 3NG and the 110ers. Members of both gangs stood accused of committing 25 murders as well as several attempted killings and armed robberies. Subsequent investigations by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and local agencies produced further RICO indictments, including that of a 22-year-old man named Evans “Easy” Lewis, a member of a gang called the 39ers who was accused of participating in a drug distribution ring and several murders. According to Ronal Serpas, the department’s chief at the time, one of the tools used by the New Orleans Police Department to identify members of gangs like 3NG and the 39ers came from the Silicon Valley company Palantir. The company provided software to a secretive NOPD program that traced people’s ties to other gang members, outlined criminal histories, analyzed social media, and predicted the likelihood that individuals would commit violence or become a victim. As part of the discovery process in Lewis’ trial, the government turned over more than 60,000 pages of documents detailing evidence gathered against him from confidential informants, ballistics, and other sources — but they made no mention of the NOPD’s partnership with Palantir, according to a source familiar with the 39ers trial. The program began in 2012 as a partnership between New Orleans Police and Palantir Technologies, a data-mining firm founded with seed money from the CIA’s venture capital firm. According to interviews and documents obtained by The Verge, the initiative was essentially a predictive policing program, similar to the “heat list” in Chicago that purports to predict which people are likely drivers or victims of violence. The partnership has been extended three times, with the third extension scheduled to expire on February 21st, 2018. The city of New Orleans and Palantir have not responded to questions about the program’s current status. Predictive policing technology has proven highly controversial wherever it is implemented, but in New Orleans, the program escaped public notice, partly because Palantir established it as a philanthropic relationship with the city through Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s signature NOLA For Life program. Thanks to its philanthropic status, as well as New Orleans’ “strong mayor” model of government, the agreement never passed through a public procurement process. In fact, key city council members and attorneys contacted by The Verge had no idea that the city had any sort of relationship with Palantir, nor were they aware that Palantir used its program in New Orleans to market its services to another law enforcement agency for a multimillion-dollar contract. Even James Carville, the political operative instrumental in bringing about Palantir’s collaboration with NOPD, said that the program was not public knowledge. “No one in New Orleans even knows about this, to my knowledge,” Carville said. More than half a decade after the partnership with New Orleans began, Palantir has patented at least one crime-forecasting system and has sold similar software to foreign intelligence services for predicting the likelihood of individuals to commit terrorism. Even within the law enforcement community, there are concerns about the potential civil liberties implications of the sort of individualized prediction Palantir developed in New Orleans, and whether it’s appropriate for the American criminal justice system. “They’re creating a target list, but we’re not going after Al Qaeda in Syria,” said a former law enforcement official who has observed Palantir’s work first-hand as well as the company’s sales pitches for predictive policing. The former official spoke on condition of anonymity to freely discuss their concerns with data mining and predictive policing. “Palantir is a great example of an absolutely ridiculous amount of money spent on a tech tool that may have some application,” the former official said. “However, it’s not the right tool for local and state law enforcement.” Six years ago, one of the world’s most secretive and powerful tech firms developed a contentious intelligence product in a city that has served as a neoliberal laboratory for everything from charter schools to radical housing reform since Hurricane Katrina. Because the program was never public, important questions about its basic functioning, risk for bias, and overall propriety were never answered. Co-founded in 2004 by Alexander Karp and Peter Thiel (the company’s single largest shareholder), Palantir Technologies’ rapid ascent to becoming one of the highest-valued private Silicon Valley companies has been driven by lucrative contracts with the Pentagon and United States intelligence services, as well as foreign security services. In recent years, Palantir has sought to expand its data fusion and analysis business to the private sector, with mixed success. Prediction is not new territory for Palantir. Since at least 2009, Palantir was used by the Pentagon to predict the location of improvised explosive devices in Afghanistan and Iraqa wartime risk-assessment program absent the civil liberties concerns that come with individualized predictive policing. Its commercial software platform, Metropolis, also reportedly uses predictive analytics to help businesses develop consumer markets and streamline investments. But before 2012 with the New Orleans program, there is no publicly available record that Palantir had ventured into predictive policing. Interest and investment in predictive policing technology accelerated after 2009 when the National Institute of Justice began issuing grants for pilot projects in crime forecasting. Those grants underpin some of the best-known — and most scrutinized — predictive policing efforts in Chicago and Los Angeles. Programs vary, and the algorithms are often proprietary, but they all aim to ingest vast stores of data — geography, criminal records, the weather, social media histories — and make predictions about individuals or places likely to be involved in a crime. In the following years, many startup firms have struggled to monetize the crime-fighting method — most notably PredPol, a California startup whose contract awards have foundered after an initial blitz of publicity in the early 2010s. "Before 2012 with the New Orleans program, there is no publicly available record that Palantir had ventured into predictive policing" As more departments and companies began experimenting with predictive policing, government-funded research cast doubts on its efficacy, and independent academics found it can have a disparate impact on poor communities of color. A 2016 study reverse-engineered PredPol’s algorithm and found that it replicated “systemic bias” against over-policed communities of color and that historical crime data did not accurately predict future criminal activity. One of the researchers, a Michigan State PhD candidate named William Isaac, had not previously heard of New Orleans’ partnership with Palantir, but he recognized the data-mapping model at the heart of the program. “I think the data they’re using, there are serious questions about its predictive power. We’ve seen very little about its ability to forecast violent crime,” Isaac said. According to interviews and documents obtained by The Verge, Palantir first approached New Orleans in 2012 through a well-known intermediary: James Carville, the Democratic Party power broker and architect of Bill Clinton’s successful 1992 presidential campaign. Carville is a paid adviser of Palantir whose involvement with the data-mining company dates back at least to 2011. In an interview, Carville told The Verge that he was the impetus for the collaboration between Palantir and New Orleans. “I am the sole driver of that project. It was entirely my idea,” said Carville, adding that he and Palantir CEO Alex Karp flew down to New Orleans to meet with Mayor Landrieu. “To me, it was a case of morality. Young people were shooting each other, and the public wasn’t as involved as they should have been.” The documents outlining Palantir’s relationship with New Orleans describe the company’s role as “pro bono” and philanthropic. In 2015, Palantir mentioned its work in New Orleans in its annual philanthropic report, characterizing the effort as collaborative “network analysis” for law enforcement and other city stakeholders. Carville’s remarks on a Bay Area public radio station four years ago elucidate how Palantir’s relationship with the city came about. In a January 2014 appearance on KQED’s Forum talk show, Carville and his wife Mary Matalin touted Palantir’s work in New Orleans as a major driver in the city’s two-year decline in the murder rate. “The CEO of a company called Palantir – the CEO, a guy named Alex Karp — said that they wanted to do some charitable work, and what’d I think? I said, we have a really horrific crime rate in New Orleans,” Carville told KQED Forum’s host Michael Krasny, without mentioning his professional relationship to Palantir. “And so he came down and met with our mayor… they both had the same reaction as to the utter immorality of young people killing other young people and society not doing anything about it. And we were able to, at no cost to the city, start integrating data and predict and intervene as to where these conflicts were going to be arising. We’ve seen probably a third of a reduction in our murder rate since this project started.Matalin, who is also a political consultant, made it clear to Krasny that the prediction work being done with NOPD by the Palo Alto firm was both a prototype and potentially could sweep up innocent people. “We’re kind of a prototype,” said Matalin. “Unless you’re the cousin of some drug dealer that went bad, you’re going to be okay.” Ronal Serpas, the New Orleans chief of Police from 2010 through August 2014, recalled his initial contact with Palantir’s staff during a meeting initiated by Mayor Landrieu’s office. “They came over and discussed the kind of work they do in theaters of war, the kind of work they do in other parts of the world,” Serpas said during an interview in his office at Loyola University. “My impression was Palantir was also interested in trying to develop products that could do some predicting of crime.” The relationship between New Orleans and Palantir was finalized on February 23rd, 2012, when Mayor Landrieu signed an agreement granting New Orleans free access to the firm’s public sector data integration platform. Licenses and tech support for Palantir’s law enforcement platform can run to millions of dollars annually, according to an audit of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. In January 2013, New Orleans would also allow Palantir to use its law enforcement account for LexisNexis’ Accurint product, which is comprised of millions of searchable public records, court filings, licenses, addresses, phone numbers, and social media data. The firm also got free access to city criminal and non-criminal data in order to train its software for crime forecasting. Neither the residents of New Orleans nor key city council members whose job it is to oversee the use of municipal data were aware of Palantir’s access to reams of their data. Palantir has a history of secrecy, and New Orleans is not the only instance of the company conducting business with government agencies through associated nonprofits, avoiding the public procurement process. Palantir provides data analysis and integration for the Los Angeles Police Department, but the arrangement was made through the LA Police Foundation rather than the LAPD itself. In New York, the firm’s contract was not disclosed by the city comptroller for security reasons (NYPD does this with surveillance equipment contracts), and it was never brought to the city council for approval. Palantir’s work with NYPD only became public when documents about its tumultuous relationship with the country’s largest police force were leaked to BuzzFeed reporter William Alden. In New Orleans, according to extensive reporting by The Verge, Mayor Landrieu’s office, the city attorney, and the NOPD appear to be the only entities aware of the firm’s work in the city. Key members of the city council were not aware of Palantir’s work in New Orleans until approached by The Verge. The Palantir partnership would have likely received more scrutiny from the city council had it been itemized in a budget, but the council’s approval isn’t required for such a program. The structure of city government in New Orleans is predicated on a “strong mayor” model where the council does not have approval authority over contracts or policies for the city police department. Cities around the country have recently begun to grapple with the question of if and how municipalities should regulate data sharing and privacy. Some cities like Seattle and Oakland have passed legislation establishing committees to craft guidelines and conduct oversight, while others like New York are discussing what role city councils should play regarding privacy in the digital age. "“I don’t think there’s anyone in the council that would say they were aware that this had even occurred.”" Several civil and criminal attorneys who are heavily involved with the New Orleans’ criminal justice system were also unaware of any predictive policing efforts by the NOPD. Multiple criminal attorneys had never seen Palantir analytic products as part of any discovery materials turned over to them in the course of trial cases, although such analysis would typically be required to be given to defense counsel if it had been used as part of an NOPD investigation. Jason Williams, the president of the New Orleans city council and a former defense attorney, reviewed documentation of Palantir’s collaboration with NOPD at the request of The Verge. Williams said he had never heard of the company’s involvement with NOPD. “I don’t think there’s anyone in the council that would say they were aware that this had even occurred because this was not part and parcel to any of our budget allocations or our oversight,” Williams said in an interview during a council meeting. Williams, who also served as a criminal court judge before his election to the city council in 2014, said that he wasn’t necessarily opposed to using data-driven methods to help at-risk New Orleanians. “My primary concern would be how this was used in my city. If it was used to identify marginalized people that are at risk of being harmed, to stop them from being harmed, I’m going to have a whole different appreciation of that than I’m gonna have if this system was used nefariously.” Councilwoman Susan Guidry, who chairs the council’s criminal justice committee and has been in office since 2010, was also unaware of New Orleans’ partnership with Palantir and NOPD’s crime-forecasting work. When shown NOPD documentation of the program, Guidry told The Verge she had never encountered it before. The Verge shared documentation of the program with a group of New Orleans civil rights attorneys. None were previously aware of NOPD’s prediction work — though one had heard rumors that Palantir was collaborating with NOPD — and they were troubled by the secrecy that surrounded the program. “It’s especially disturbing that this level of intrusive research into the lives of ordinary residents is kept virtually a secret,” said Jim Craig, the director of the Louisiana office of the Roderick and Solange MacArthur Justice Center. Craig, who reviewed documentation of the program at The Verge’s request, compared the predictive policing effort to signals intelligence work. “It’s almost as if New Orleans were contracting its own version of the NSA to conduct 24/7 surveillance of the lives of its people,” Craig said. Authorities, he believes, have kept the program under wraps because it would elicit widespread outrage. “Right now, people are outraged about traffic cameras and have no idea this data-mining project is going on,” Craig said. “The South is still a place where people very much value their privacy.” Nicholas Corsaro and Robin Engel are two University of Cincinnati professors who conducted a recent evaluation of the New Orleans’ violence reduction strategy that Palantir was used for, and helped design an NOPD gang database that the Palantir forecasting model draws on. Both Engel and Corsaro were unaware of New Orleans’ predictive policing efforts, its involvement with Palantir, or even the fact that the database they designed was feeding into the program. “Trying to predict who is going to do what based on last year’s data is just horseshit,” Corsaro said in an interview. Palantir did sometimes publicly refer to its work in New Orleans. However, none of Palantir’s public presentations about the program that The Verge was able to identify went into detail about individualized crime forecasting, scraping of social media data, or the use of social network analysis for crime prediction. Instead, the company represented its work in New Orleans as “developing a better understanding of violent crime propensity and designing targeted interventions to protect the city’s most vulnerable populations.” "“Trying to predict who is going to do what based on last year’s data is just horseshit.”" In a public speaking appearance where he touted the efficacy of their work in New Orleans, Courtney Bowman, a Palantir civil liberties engineer heavily involved with the company’s work with NOPD, acknowledged that excessive secrecy could deepen the rift between law enforcement and over-policed communities. During a May 6th, 2016 presentation at the UC Berkeley School of Information’s DataEdge conference, Bowman said, “These sorts of programs only work if the community is comfortable with the degree to which this type of information is being applied and if they’re aware of how the information is being used.” The city of New Orleans and Palantir both declined requests for comment about how their partnership was formed, and what sort of input other elected officials and the public had into the data-mining firm’s predictive policing efforts. Ronal Serpas, who ran NOPD when the partnership with Palantir began, said that he believed the city council and public at large should have been informed about the police department’s decision to engage in predictive policing with Palantir. The role of local legislatures and governing bodies in overseeing the sharing of government data is far from settled, but Serpas believes that agreements with firms like Palantir warrant greater scrutiny. “It is, to me, something that certainly requires a view, requires a look,” Serpas said. Though neither Palantir staff nor current New Orleans officials would talk about the day-to-day functioning of the crime-forecasting initiative, documents obtained by The Verge, external studies, and the recollections of former Chief Serpas offer a portrait of how the predictive policing beta test has functioned over the past six years. Palantir’s prediction model in New Orleans used an intelligence technique called social network analysis (or SNA) to draw connections between people, places, cars, weapons, addresses, social media posts, and other indicia in previously siloed databases. Think of the analysis as a practical version of a Mark Lombardi painting that highlights connections between people, places, and events. After entering a query term — like a partial license plate, nickname, address, phone number, or social media handle or post — NOPD’s analyst would review the information scraped by Palantir’s software and determine which individuals are at the greatest risk of either committing violence or becoming a victim, based on their connection to known victims or assailants. The data on individuals came from information scraped from social media as well as NOPD criminal databases for ballistics, gangs, probation and parole information, jailhouse phone calls, calls for service, the central case management system (i.e., every case NOPD had on record), and the department’s repository of field interview cards. The latter database represents every documented encounter NOPD has with citizens, even those that don’t result in arrests. In 2010, The Times-Picayune revealed that Chief Serpas had mandated that the collection of field interview cards be used as a measure of officer and district performance, resulting in over 70,000 field interview cards filled out in 2011 and 2012. The practice resembled NYPD’s “stop and frisk” program and was instituted with the express purpose of gathering as much intelligence on New Orleanians as possible, regardless of whether or not they committed a crime" "A partial license plate, a nickname, an address, a phone number, a social media handle" NOPD then used the list of potential victims and perpetrators of violence generated by Palantir to target individuals for the city’s CeaseFire program. CeaseFire is a form of the decades-old carrot-and-stick strategy developed by David Kennedy, a professor at John Jay College in New York. In the program, law enforcement informs potential offenders with criminal records that they know of their past actions and will prosecute them to the fullest extent if they re-offend. If the subjects choose to cooperate, they are “called in” to a required meeting as part of their conditions of probation and parole and are offered job training, education, potential job placement, and health services. In New Orleans, the CeaseFire program is run under the broader umbrella of NOLA For Life, which is Mayor Landrieu’s pet project that he has funded through millions of dollars from private donors. According to Serpas, the person who initially ran New Orleans’ social network analysis from 2013 through 2015 was Jeff Asher, a former intelligence agent who joined NOPD from the CIA. If someone had been shot, Serpas explained, Asher would use Palantir’s software to find people associated with them through field interviews or social media data. “This data analysis brings up names and connections between people on FIs [field interview cards], on traffic stops, on victims of reports, reporting victims of crimes together, whatever the case may be. That kind of information is valuable for anybody who’s doing an investigation,” Serpas said. According to Palantir’s own documentation, Asher and his colleagues ran social network analyses of every victim of a fatal or non-fatal shooting in New Orleans from 2011 through 2013. Through this technique, which Asher dubbed “The NOLA Model,” the city devised a list of roughly 3,900 people who were at the highest risk of being involved in gun violence because of their connection to a previous shooter or victim. “We can identify 30-40% of shooting victims,” Asher claimed at Palantir’s 2014 internal conference. Asher declined repeated requests for an interview "“The NOLA Model.”" Theoretically, Asher’s approach is substantially influenced by the research of Andrew Papachristos, a Yale professor who tracked violence as if it were a communicable disease spreading through networks of association. However, since his work was cited as the academic underpinning for crime-forecasting models employed by PredPol and the Chicago Police Department, Papachristos has sought to distance his research from those methods. Once NOPD generated its list of likely shooters and victims, the police department and social service providers — for the “carrot” side of NOLA For Life — would select people who were either incarcerated or on court supervision for a “call-in meeting.” Mayor Landrieu’s office touted the program frequently, referring to it as an essential part of New Orleans’ criminal justice policy. Palantir also claimed credit: “we’re helping to break the cycle of violence” in New Orleans, read a passage in the company’s 2015 Philanthropy Engineering report. But its actual impact is unclear. Of the 308 people who participated in call-ins from October 2012 through March 2017, seven completed vocational training, nine completed “paid work experience,” none finished a high school diploma or GED course, and 32 were employed at one time or another through referrals. Fifty participants were detained following their call-in, and two have since died. By contrast, law enforcement vigorously pursued its end of the program. From November 2012, when the new Multi-Agency Gang Unit was founded, through March 2014, racketeering indictments escalated: 83 alleged gang members in eight gangs were indicted in the 16-month period, according to an internal Palantir presentation. "The city devised a list of roughly 3,900 people who were at the highest risk of being involved in gun violence " Call-ins declined precipitously after the first few years. According to city records, eight group call-ins took place from 2012 to 2014, but only three took place in the following three years. Robert Goodman, a New Orleans native who became a community activist after completing a prison sentence for murder, worked as a “responder” for the city’s CeaseFire program until August 2016, discouraging people from engaging in retaliatory violence. Over time, Goodman noticed more of an emphasis on the “stick” component of the program and more control over the non-punitive aspects of the program by city hall that he believes undermined the intervention work. “It’s supposed to be ran by people like us instead of the city trying to dictate to us how this thing should look,” he said. “As long as they’re not putting resources into the hoods, nothing will change. You’re just putting on Band-Aids.” After the first two years of Palantir’s involvement with NOPD, the city saw a marked drop in murders and gun violence, but it was short-lived. Even former NOPD Chief Serpas believes that the preventative effect of calling in dozens of at-risk individuals — and indicting dozens of them — began to diminish. “When we ended up with nearly nine or 10 indictments with close to 100 defendants for federal or state RICO violations of killing people in the community, I think we got a lot of people’s attention in that criminal environment,” Serpas said, referring to the racketeering indictments. “But over time, it must’ve wore off because before I left in August of ‘14, we could see that things were starting to slide” Nick Corsaro, the University of Cincinnati professor who helped build NOPD’s gang database, also worked on an evaluation of New Orleans’ CeaseFire strategy. He found that New Orleans’ overall decline in homicides coincided with the city’s implementation of CeaseFire program, but the Central City neighborhoods targeted by the program “did not have statistically significant declines that corresponded with November 2012 onset date.” Put plainly, the study did not confirm claims by Palantir and city officials that data-driven interventions were behind the temporary drop-off in violent crime. "“It’s exactly this facet of Chicago’s ‘heat’ list model that has exposed CPD to a great deal of public scrutiny.”" Though the call-ins dropped off, emails obtained by The Verge indicate that the NOPD continued to use Palantir for law enforcement. Palantir declined repeated requests for comment, but the emails also show that the company was aware of the potential risks posed by predictive policing algorithms, and the negative publicity that comes with them. On May 23rd, 2016, Palantir civil liberties engineer Courtney Bowman responded to a request by NOPD crime analyst Zach Donnini about whether Palantir could help generate numerical rankings for individuals’ risk for committing or becoming the victim of a shooting. “I have some serious concerns about instituting a ranking or numeric scoring approach,” Bowman wrote. “It’s exactly this facet of Chicago’s “heat” list model that has exposed CPD to a great deal of public scrutiny,” the email reads, linking to two articles critiquing Chicago’s predictive policing approach. “The looming concern is that an opaque scoring algorithm substitutes the veneer of quantitative certainty for more holistic, qualitative judgment and human culpability,” Bowman wrote. “One of the lasting virtues of the SNA work we’ve done to date is that we’ve kept human analysts in the loop to ensure that networks are being explored and analyzed in a way that passes the straight-face test.” Regardless of the sustainability of New Orleans’ murder reduction, Palantir used its work with the NOPD to solicit large contracts with other American cities. Later, the company won lucrative contracts for predictive programs with foreign governments. According to emails obtained by The Verge, Palantir marketing staff first contacted the Chicago Police Department in late 2013 about the possibility of selling a predictive policing package based on the firm’s New Orleans work, eventually settling on a $3 million price tag. Through a series of federal grants awarded to CPD beginning in 2009, Chicago Police and academics at the Illinois Institute of Technology had already created their own crime-forecasting program that assigned a risk score to individuals based on criminal data and social media histories. On August 19th, 2014, Katie Laidlaw, a marketing executive at Palantir, emailed Chicago Police commander Jonathan Lewin. “I would like to follow-up on connecting with Superintendent McCarthy, specifically to frame potential Palantir engagement around our proven outcomes in supporting homicide reduction in New Orleans,” Laidlaw wrote. The emails also show that Chicago Police hoped to receive grant money from the Department of Homeland Security to fund the Palantir software acquisition. However, the Chicago Police Department never piloted or purchased Palantir’s software. Commander Lewin, who is in charge of Chicago’s “heat list” model of predictive policing and who was on the receiving end of Katie Laidlaw’s sales pitch for Palantir, said in an interview that he was aware of Palantir’s work with other law enforcement agencies but never approved either a test run or purchase of Palantir software. Though Palantir did not succeed in selling its New Orleans-tested tools to Chicago Police, the data-mining company has successfully sold forecasting products to foreign security services. In 2016, the Danish national police and intelligence services signed an 84-month contract with Palantir — reported in the Danish press to have been worth between $14.8 and $41.4 million — for a predictive technology package meant to identify potential terrorists. According to procurement documents, the program uses law enforcement data like license plate reader records, CCTV video, and police reports to make predictions about individuals’ likelihood to commit terrorism. Denmark’s national legislature had to pass an exemption to the European Union’s data protection regulations in order to purchase Palantir’s software. "Denmark had to pass an exemption to the European Union’s data protection regulations in order to purchase Palantir’s software" Prior to the 2016 contract with Denmark, Palantir Technologies’ reported work with law enforcement never mentioned forecasting or prediction capabilities. Last year, the liberal Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that Israel’s security services used analytics systems that scraped social media and other data to predict potential “lone-wolf” attackers from Palestinian communities in the West Bank, and that Palantir was one of only two technology companies to provide predictive intelligence systems to Israeli security organizations. The New Orleans project is the first reported instance of Palantir using social media data as a part of the company’s social network analysis. “I’m not surprised to find out that people are being detained abroad using that information,” said New Orleans council president Jason Williams, pointing out the differences between the legal systems of Israel and the United States. “My concern is, the use of technology to get around the Constitution — that is not something that I would want to see in the United States.” Around the country, cities like New York are weighing legislation about how to oversee the algorithms government agencies use to make decisions. These debates have yet to begin in New Orleans, where the city’s intractable crime rate takes up much of the oxygen in public discourse. However, the secrecy of Palantir’s relationship with NOPD raises red flags to outside observers and prompts questions about how the company’s algorithms are being used. William Isaac, the Michigan State researcher who has analyzed predictive policing systems for bias, said he has long had suspicions that Palantir engaged in some sort of individual forecasting program. “They had only publicly acknowledged the extent to which their technology is data deconfliction and visualization,” Isaac said. After being walked through the documentation of Palantir’s New Orleans project, Isaac said the program was remarkably similar to Chicago’s individual “heat list” model, which a RAND Corporation study found had no impact on violent crime and was overwhelmingly composed of young African-American and Latino men with extensive law enforcement contact. "“The same flaws that were in the Chicago predictive program are going to be amplified in New Orleans’ data set.”" “If you’re trying to predict anything, you need to have some representation across the universe that you’re trying to predict. If you’re trying to predict crime, you need to have positive and negative examples for every possible offense,” Isaac said. Police departments tend to have good data about communities where they are present but little data about communities where they do not patrol as vigorously — which tend to be affluent and white. “The same flaws that were in the Chicago predictive program are going to be amplified in New Orleans’ data set,” Isaac said. The secrecy surrounding the NOPD program also raises questions about whether defendants have been given evidence they have a right to view. Sarah St. Vincent, a researcher at Human Rights Watch, recently published an 18-month investigation into parallel construction, or the practice of law enforcement concealing evidence gathered from surveillance activity. In an interview, St. Vincent said that law enforcement withholding intelligence gathering or analysis like New Orleans’ predictive policing work effectively kneecaps the checks and balances of the criminal justice system. At the Cato Institute’s 2017 Surveillance Conference in December, St. Vincent raised concerns about why information garnered from predictive policing systems was not appearing in criminal indictments or complaints. “It’s the role of the judge to evaluate whether what the government did in this case was legal,” St. Vincent said of the New Orleans program. “I do think defense attorneys would be right to be concerned about the use of programs that might be inaccurate, discriminatory, or drawing from unconstitutional data.” If Palantir’s partnership with New Orleans had been public, the issues of legality, transparency, and propriety could have been hashed out in a public forum during an informed discussion with legislators, law enforcement, the company, and the public. For six years, that never happened.

Why Glenn Beck Is the Most Dangerous Man In America

By Dave Hodges

Six weeks ago, an FBI agent told me an aside story that Glenn Beck was betraying the Patriot movement by joining the Leftist media. I left aside the tip until I saw something tangible and ow we have credible evidence that this is true. Until I was hit with the Glenn Beck trolls yesterday, I did not realize that Glenn Beck is the most dangerous man in America. Here is an example of what I was sent in response to my article that alleged that Beck had betrayed the Independent Media. Dear Dave, I used to follow you, but you are worthless. Glenn Beck is a great America. Your obession with CNN has blinded you. If Glenn Beck thinks he needs to go on CNN it must be for a good reason. You should be focused on issues not people. You can no longer be trusted. I will never listen to your show or read your articles again and I am telling everyone else to do the same. Screw You I received some emails from people who genuinely wanted to defend Beck, this was not one of them. I had to eliminate the profane language and when you work in this field long enough, you can smell a troll. And this morning, 24 hours later, the troll attacks continue. My Hisory with the Independent Media I learned a long time ago, that if you want to discredit your movement, in any area, simply criticize each other in public. There are people in the Independent Media that I do not care for and I do not trust. However, I never say a word about them because of the damage it can do to our movement which is far more important than petty dislikes and jealousies. By holding true to this philosophy, I have had to endure a lot and then I was forced to bite my tongue. Therefore, you might be wondering why is this situation with Glenn Beck different? The answer is simple, Glenn Beck is NOT a member of the Independent Media. From CNN Money After leaving Fox News in 2011, Beck founded TheBlaze, a website and streaming service. He also has a daily radio show that is syndicated across the United States. While TheBlaze has suffered some significant setbacks, Beck remains a high-profile conservative media player. So his remarks on Sunday about needing to “heal” stand out. On “Reliable Sources,” he said, “We have to start looking at ourselves and saying, ‘What role have I played?'" He has repeatedly talked about his regrets from his bombastic, over-the-top Fox News days. Some people believe him; other people have doubts… Now Beck is advocating for censorshp. He is hiding behind the mantra that if one is pointing out criminal corruption, they are a divider. The nation is divided and therefore, the dividers must be silenced. Beck is an anti-First Amendment advocate. He is a traitor to his base. I freely admit, I am a divider in the sense that I will never accept the America that the Clintons’ of the country want ot bring us. Anyone who opposes the First Amendment, needs to be called out. Why is the CNN left taking this approach and attempting to masquerade as anti-dividers? The answer is simple, the Lunatic Left, is getting their backsides kicked by the Independent Media. This is their new strategy. Anyone who has eyes to see can tell you that Hillary Clinton is a criminal, and that the Democratic Party is blatantly anti-family, anti-Christian and anti-American. This is the new censorship strategy of the Left. If you criticize the left, you must be a divider and dividers must be silenced because they are dangerous to America. Right Now, Glenn Beck Is the Most Dangerous Man In America In a month, Glenn Beck and his antics may no longer matter and we can ignore him. However, and in this particular point in time, Glenn Beck is the most dangerous man in America. I am not troubled by his erroneous and very liberal views on censorship. He has a right to his views. However, Beck’s position of trust in the Independent Media makes him very dangerous. Because of Beck’s attacks upon Obama and the liberals who overtook our country after the 2008 election, Beck garnered millions of loyal and patriotic Americans to his side. At the height of the Beck movement, he was almost a cult figure. My fear is that the trust he gained from millions of good American has now been betrayed and I am worried that his former position of trust will get many Americans to foresake the 1st and 2nd Amendments to the Constitution and follow him. And if we are ever convinced to give up the Bill of Rights, we are finished as a country. Therefore, as Beck publicly transitions to the Left, we need to convince loyal Americans not to follow him. Subsequently, at this time, Glenn Beck is the most dangerous man in America. While Beck follows the money, the rest of us, who care about the future of children, need to follow the truth.

Moron Gun Control: Women and Children First

By Doug “Uncola” Lynn via TheBurningPlatform.com

I will make mere youths their officials; children will rule over them. – Isaiah 3:4

Youths oppress my people, women rule over them… – Isaiah 3:12

Another shooting. They always appear to unveil in similar ways; like secret messages. First there is some sort of an active drill, either scheduled or ongoing, and then shots are fired, followed by eyewitness accounts of more than one shooter. Soon, the YouTube videos of those reporting on multiple attackers are scrubbed from the internet: When shots were fired I saw him [right] after the fact, so, and the shots were coming from the other part of the building so there definitely had to be at least two shooters involved. ……..Additionally, it was reported by the father of a student who attends the school that both a fire drill and an active shooter drill were scheduled for Wednesday. Within hours, the murderer is reported to be extremely troubled, if not insane, and likely on psychotropic drugs, as several people claim they all “saw it coming”, or, in some instances, saying they are completely surprised that the person they knew could massacre so many. Additionally, prophetic postings placed prior on social media by the shooter are revealed and, sadly, they are rarely discovered until too late. Most commonly, of course, an AR-type or similar semi-automatic will have been used with the necessary large-capacity magazines. It is all quite convenient because both are highly coveted targets in the sites of politicians and globalists convening behind armed security on Capitol Hill or at the United Nations. Finally, like the sun rising after a long dark night, the political establishment crows like over-caffeinated roosters about “doing something” so “it never happens again”. Nothing new under the sun. But what about “The Patriot Act”, the NSA, and that brand new data center in Utah? I thought our heroes we’re constantly monitoring in order to stop these events? In the case of the Parkland shooting what about eyewitness reports of someone firing rounds in the school while wearing body armor, helmet and mask? What are these national security agents doing every day anyway? Playing Angry Birds and Subway Surfers? Those slackers make love-sick FBI sweethearts Peter Strzok and Lisa Page look like Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. I want my money back. Also, what happens to the mass causality survivors who claim to have seen multiple shooters? Well, after their cell phones are permanently confiscated by the authorities, and within weeks after their videos disappear from the internet, they start dying in freak ways and in numbers that defy normal actuarial tables. But don’t worry, the online fact-checker Snopes says it’s all just “great paranoia”. In spite of any slight variances from the common patterns of mass shootings, the outcome is always predictable: It’s getting late in the game and they want your guns. Who knew politicians could react so fast? But, then again, it’s for the children. Regardless, the images linger and it’s hard to disremember certain elements of surreality that seemed, shall we say, spurious. In the Parkland shooting, specifically, both reporters and those being interviewed were one minute smiling and then the next feigning sadness and concern. It was strange. Nevertheless, the politicians take action after every mass shooting and tell us “it’s for our own good”. In the aftermath of the Sandyhook shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, President Obama issued 23 executive actions and proposed 19 legislative actions. After the Virginia Tech shooting new rules were passed that allowed the Social Security Administration to provide information to the gun background check system of people with “mental disabilities”. After Vegas and Parkland, it was bump-stocks. Now, most recently at the time of this writing, it appears that even President Trump has “stunned lawmakers” with his “seeming embrace of gun control measures”. Do you see a pattern? To understand the borg mind, you must first understand the politicians and powerbrokers are fully aware of what they are doing. But, as far as the liberal snowflakes are concerned, they ALWAYS believe what they WISH to be true; facts be damned. Worse than that, they will not let go of what they wish were true even after they long cross the rubicon into devastating lunacy. By then, it becomes like a Chinese finger trap; the more you challenge their beliefs, the more they hold on. Here are 10 truths the gun control morons hold to be self-evident: 1.) The Gun is Guilty How can some people assign culpability to a mere tool you ask? It’s a fair question. Those who hate guns believe evil should be confronted through the elimination of its occasional means; a device, or gadget. This is not overly unlike someone dieting to lose weight by removing the silverware from their kitchen. Actually, it is in fact worse. To protect the children from bodily harm, Big Mother desires to remove the allegorical silverware from the homes of metaphorical healthy eaters. That’s insane. From an ideological perspective, could that faulty logic eliminate profanity by stealing the adult books from those who don’t curse? Or prevent procrastination by purloining people’s calendars and clocks? Indeed, just as instruments to measure time illustrate the denotation and solution for procrastination and tardiness, so do guns, simultaneously, demonstrate the denotation and solution for evil. Some women, some children, and most liberals, can’t seem to identify evil through the fog of their good intentions. This explains why they fail to see the irony when they call for people with guns to come save them from people with guns. Except, for whatever reason, they profess to favor those traveling from a distance away to save them as opposed to someone in their immediate proximity. Indeed, why do gun control advocates prefer those with badges, 20 minutes away, over those with a permit who could save their lives, and the lives of others, in that very moment? Perhaps, because logic is not a strong suit in the minds of some women, some children, and most liberals. 2.) Criminals Obey Laws Wrong. In every mass shooting event in recent years, there were laws on the books designed to prevent the murder and mayhem. Think about that. Criminals care nothing for laws; neither will they be inhibited by them. If laws eliminated all access to acquiring guns legally, it would not stop criminals from getting them any more than the war on drugs terminated illegal drug use in America. Naturally, laws are only as effective as their enforcement; which, in the case of the Parkland shooting and all others, was far less than stellar to say the least; let alone prohibitive. Sure, seat belt laws may save the lives of compliant citizens in car accidents, but no law can prevent deliberate, calculated murder. Evil finds a way. 3.) Citizens and Criminals are Synonymous You’ve likely heard the saying: “The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.” Yet, in the eyes of the gun control advocates, there is no difference between the two. This explains why an effort has been undertaken nationwide to criminalize the National Rifle Association (NRA) and its members, for the crimes of one crazy child from Parkland, Florida. For now, though, this profound miscalculation by the Political Left has backfired. Pardon the pun. 4.) Rights Derive from Emotions Actually, they don’t. Why must law-abiding citizens yield to the emotionalism of traumatized children, politicized law enforcement officers, and liberal snowflakes? It seems they expect upright citizens to obey new rules designed to infringe upon the unalienable rights of others. Why not just say “no” and ignore them? Pure, unbridled emotionalism, like what was witnessed during the CNN Townhall rally after the Parkland shooting, was entirely unrelated to the fundamental rights of law-abiding citizens to protect themselves. Notwithstanding, the First Amendment allowed the CNN rally to occur. Fortunately, the United States was founded upon natural, inalienable rights and constitutional law, instead of emotional reactions to public displays of sentimentality and melodrama; as demonstrated by vocal gun-grabbers on cable television. 5.) Consequential Correlating Factors are Irrelevant Some women, certain children, corrupt Broward county sheriffs, and most liberal snowflakes today willfully employ convenient tunnel-vision in order to unjustifiably convict firearms for murder. In so doing, they maliciously downplay any other contributing factors behind every mass shooting. These would include mental illness, the side-effects of psychotropic drugs, law enforcement failures, bullying, and family neglect. But more than that, what about the supplemental influences from violent Hollywood movies and video games? Think about that. Why do companies pay millions of dollars to entertainers and athletes to endorse their products? Because advertising works. But now we are expected to believe that violence in movies and video games cause no adverse effects on children? Why are all of these considerations summarily dismissed by the Political Left in the national conversation on guns? Why is the blame always solely placed onto the gadget by those favoring gun control? Why do they push for more laws when the FBI and local law enforcement agencies appear completely helpless to prevent the mass shootings from occurring in the first place? Good questions. 6.) Gun Free Zones are Safe The Political Left believes in the infallibility of gun free zones so much, they now hope to take the program national. Unsurprisingly, the facts show gun free zones not safe. Quite the contrary. According to the Crime Prevention Research Center, gun free zones have been targeted in 98% of all mass shootings since 1950. This, in spite of politicians legislating to keep the children safe: Former Vice President Joe Biden, a Democrat, introduced the Gun-Free School Zones Act (GFSZA) to the U.S. Senate in 1990, and it was signed into law by then-President George H.W. Bush, a Republican. The act was clearly proposed with the intent to prevent mass shootings at such precious areas as schools. But the act, as the statistic proves, did not result in the desired outcome. Thanks for nothing, Joe and George. Again, I want my money back. Evidently gun control doesn’t work but now the politicians have it all figured out? No thanks. I’ll pass. I’d rather put my faith in Santa Claus to bring me presents this Christmas, Robert Mueller to deliver justice to the highest offices of American Government, or Bill Clinton and his best friend, Jeffrey Epstein, to take our local girl scout troupe on a field trip to the Virgin Islands. 7.) Defense is Never a Good Offense Those advocating for escalating gun control measures first mandate gun free zones, then, after the carnage, they double-down by fighting against the rights of trained teachers protecting themselves, and their students, from being sitting ducks. Really? Again, as stated heretofore, why do the gun control advocates favor those with badges 20 minutes away over someone with a permit who could save their lives, and the lives of others, in the moment? Paradoxically, gun control advocates, gush over new laws to screen out potential shooters, yet they overwhelmingly distrust the laws designed to screen law-abiding concealed-carry permit holders? Unbelievable. Yet we are to believe it is the NRA who has blood on their hands? PUH-leese. Do these people think law-abiding citizens who value life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are stupid? Evidently. 8.) First Responders Are Never Late and Always Competent See # 7 above. How many lives were lost in accordance to these false premises by so many “well-intentioned” women, children, liberal snowflakes, and bumbling law enforcement cowards? Before answering, you may need to grab your calculator. It seems, within the insane hive-mind of the Collective Left, only some lives matter. 9.) Victimized Teenagers are Superb Societal Strategists In the aftermath of the Parkland shooting, the Clinton News Network (CNN) Devolved Into A North Korean Kangaroo Court Peddling Gun Confiscation. During that embarrassing event, the children, and their handlers, shouted down anyone who sought to challenge their faulty premises. They did so because the handlers, like overbearing and manipulative mothers, told the children not to tolerate dissent because they were the survivors of a terrible massacre and their “March for Our Lives” movement was not political. No, this movement is not political even though they held a February rally at the Florida Statehouse in Tallahassee on their way to march on Washington DC later this month. It really is amazing. Just a few short weeks ago, America’s teens were suffering from purposely consuming laundry detergent. Now, within a matter of days, they are politically organized in ways that make Martin Luther King, Jr. look like a piker in comparison. Regarding the CNN Townhall rally, I read a blog comment that said “CNN treated those kids the way Bill Clinton treated Monica Lewinsky.” Someday, these children might realize how they were played like an aspiring Hollywood starlet in Harvey Weinstein’s hotel suite. 10.) Government is Good And now, the grandest, most astonishing, erroneous, supposition of all: Militias are so yesteryear. In the days following the Parkland Florida shooting, Jim Quinn, the administrator of TheBurningPlatform.com, commented on a correlating thread there: This week’s gun control argument in a nutshell: because government failed at every level, you need to have your rights curtailed…by the government that just failed at every level. Indeed, what a great summary. One of the lies ceaselessly promulgated by the Radical Left is that governments are always good. Unfortunately, federal employees, welfare recipients, some survivors of mass casualty events, certain women and children, as well as politicians, pundits, and voters on both sides of the political aisle, appear to have zero immunity against that false assumption. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (1918 – 2008) was a political dissident and critic of communism. Like millions throughout history, he suffered under a government established forced-labor camp system; the Soviet gulags. Regarding that experience, he wrote: And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward. ― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, “The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956”. It could never happen again, right? Guess not, according to the morons who believe history never repeats. Conclusion Liberals are like overprotective mothers; they control and suffocate in the name of love. Yet, their oppressive rules smell like grandma’s house did when you caught a whiff of aging, diseased flesh beneath the perfume. It’s like when your girlfriend first told you she didn’t like your shirt and maybe you shouldn’t hang out with your friends so much. Or how your rich friend’s Mom never allowed you to enter into her perfect parlor where she kept all of her delicate decor and fine furnishings. It was Ayn Rand who once described Man as viewing himself in relation to Nature as Woman views herself in relation to Man. In primitive societies, this is why men turned sticks into bows and arrows while women managed the household. It’s why men have hunted, fished, farmed, invented, and innovated, from the time he first crushed grapes. By and large, through the ages, men have faced the world logically, and practically, with little use for feelings. As a matter of fact, liberals may even tell you it is for these very reasons why young boys kill. It would make for a beneficial discussion if the deceitfully duplicitous liberal charlatans stopped blaming the gun while ignoring all other contributing factors. The Radical Left insincerely manipulates the national discussion on guns all the while knowing the great, big, feminine hive-mind views the world viscerally; and is, thus, easily influenced by emotions. This also explains why the Political Left constantly nurtures an overwhelming sense of dissatisfaction that circles in their heads like rabid squirrels. No wonder. It’s because feelings are not logical and emotions never fix anything. On the contrary, pandemic hysteria makes circumstances worse. Truly, in America’s past, the Political Right leaned more masculine and the Political Left more feminine. It’s why Republicans tended to concern themselves with a strong foreign policy and national defense, whereas the predominant legislative initiatives by the Democrats were more domestic in nature. Back then, even though the parties vociferously disagreed, the marriage still maintained a sense of order. But that was back during a time when school shootings were near non-existent. In the Strange New World, the dynamic has changed. Mom now runs the show and Dad has become her stepin-fetchit. And the kids? They take selfies while staging “non-political” marches to their state and national capital houses because they value their own reflections more than effective gun solutions that would actually work. But they can’t be blamed. The children are misguided because they’ve been misled. Their collective fear and compassion has become gullibility. Skepticism of the facts is the right modus operandi during these times. And open debate is a good thing. Except in the minds of pussy-hat wearing liberals, feminists, inept law-enforcement agents, eager politicians, and confused children; all of whom lack tolerance, common sense, reason, and accountability. In closing, I want to most tenderly address any reader who disagrees with either the underlying premises or expressed content in this essay. Please know, in accordance to the United States Constitution, and the spirit in which it was originally written, I will respect your right to believe whatever you desire along with your privilege to state your opinions in the public square. At the same time, however, I will very courteously say this once; and only once: Don’t tread on me.

66 probes of criminal misconduct into Broward sheriff's office since 2012

Accusations of drug trafficking, stalking, sexual battery, kidnapping, extortion, falsifying records

Published: 3 days ago

Broward County Sheriff’s deputies and employees are the subjects of more than 66 investigations – ranging from drug trafficking and sexual battery to kidnapping – since 2012, according to a new report. The Broward County State Attorney’s office produced a 2014 Brady list of 146 open investigations ranging from 2004 to 2014, with many cases taking place in 2012 and 2013. Broward County Sheriff Scot Israel won election to the position in 2012. Investigative reporter Sara Carter noted that 40 of the investigations took place under Sheriff Israel, who is facing widespread condemnation after several of his deputies reportedly failed to enter Stoneman Douglas High School on Feb. 14 after gunman Nikolas Cruz went on a killing rampage. Sources have claimed the Broward County Sheriff’s Office also denied requests from Emergency Medical Service teams to enter the school when kids were wounded and dying. Some of the charges against Broward County deputies and personnel outlined on the 22-page Brady list dating back to 2004 include:

Sexual battery

Vehicular homicide and reckless driving

Perjury and falsifying records

Grand theft

Insurance fraud

Attempted murder

Discharging firearm from a vehicle

Armed false imprisonment and armed sexual battery

Possession of oxycodone

Armed delivery of oxycodone and possession of hydrocodone

Aggravated battery of a pregnant female

Domestic violence battery

Tampering with a witness

Tampering with evidence

Reviews wherein person(s) died as a result of police action

Driving under the influence

Battery

Conspiracy, mail fraud, wire fraud and false statements

Kidnapping, extortion, false imprisonment, official misconduct, grand theft

Aggressive stalking

Unlawful compensation

Organized scheme to defraud and criminal use of personal identification

Making material false statements to FBI agents

Armed extortion, bribery, money laundering

The Broward County Sheriff’s Office hasn’t responded to WND’s multiple requests for comment since the Feb. 14 shooting, including a request concerning the investigations of misconduct. It’s unclear how many more misconduct investigations have been launched since the report was published in 2014. 10 internal affairs complaints against Israel – 5 files go missing Israel himself has been the subject of at least 10 internal affairs complaints, mostly for excessive or unnecessary force, but he was cleared in every case, according to a 2009 report by Florida’s Sun-Sentinel. While Israel became sheriff in 2012, he began his career as a Fort Lauderdale patrol officer in 1979 and worked the narcotics scene in the 1980s and 1990s. “[F]ive of those reports, which typically contain witness statements and details of the investigation, are gone from city files,” the newspaper reported in 2009. “That means details about two of the more serious accusations – false arrest and theft – are lost. Though both were ruled ‘not sustained,’ the city can’t find the full case documents.” Israel told the newspaper he didn’t remember the files. “I’ve never stolen anything in my life – well, I shouldn’t say that – since I was 7 years old and Dad explained to me in the woodshed,” he explained at the time. While state and city law mandate that the records be kept for 50 years after the end of an officer’s employment, police spokesman Sgt. Frank Sousa told the Sun-Sentinel: “We feel it’s unfortunate these files are not there. However, it was done under a previous administration, and we cannot explain their actions.” As for his history of internal affairs complaints, Israel said: “I was a very active and hard-working police officer. My assignments put me in touch with many, many violent people.” Won’t say if deputies were given stand-down order at Florida school Since the Florida school massacre on Feb. 14, Sheriff Israel has resisted demands that he resign. When CNN’s Jake Tapper asked Sheriff Israel if his deputies had been ordered to stand down at the school, Israel wouldn’t answer the question. “This is an active shooter, we push to the entry, to the killer, we get in and we take out the threat,” Israel told CNN. Tapper asked if the deputies had been given a stand-down order. “I can’t tell you anything about that,” the sheriff said. “I haven’t heard that … right now, Jake, the focus of this agency is on a successful prosecution of the killer. We will get to the truth, but right now, people could have conjecture. People can act on rumors. And everyone has a right to their own opinion.” On Sunday, Florida House Speaker Richard Corcoran called for Florida Gov. Rick Scott to suspend Sheriff Israel for “incompetence and dereliction of duty.” At least 73 other lawmakers support Corcoran’s request, which was detailed in a letter posted to Twitter. Sara Carter highlighted one civil court case filed against Sheriff Israel by the family of Jermaine McBean, a black information technology engineer who was killed by Broward deputies in 2013. At the time of the incident, McBean was reportedly walking home from the store after buying an air rifle. The bag covering his unloaded air rifle had blown away, and a passerby called 9-1-1, thinking McBean was toting a rifle. However, the caller reportedly told the 9-1-1 dispatcher that the weapon might have been an air rifle. When McBean arrived at his apartment, he was approached by deputies Peter Peraza, Lt. Brad Ostroff and Sgt. Richard Laccera. McBean family attorney David Schoen claims witnesses confirm the man’s air rifle was atop his shoulders, with his arms draped over it. McBean was wearing earbuds and couldn’t hear the officers commands. When he turned around, Peraza, who had only been a deputy for a year, reportedly fired his weapon and killed McBean. The deputy claimed he feared for his life. In a photo after the shooting, McBean can be seen sprawled on the ground with earbuds still in his ears. According to NBC News, the earbuds were found stuffed in McBean’s pocket after his death. “Approximately 66 BSO (Broward Sheriff’s Office) deputies and other employees, including supervisory personnel were arrested for, charged with, and/or convicted of crimes that run the gamut from Armed Kidnapping, to Battery, Assault, Falsifying records, Official Misconduct, Narcotics trafficking, and other crimes involving dishonesty and violence in the years immediately proceeding 2013 when Jermaine was killed. Most of the offenses on the list occurred in the years 2012-2013,” state court documents filed by Schoen against Israel and Broward County Sheriff deputy defendants. “Often the cases against BSO (Broward Sheriff’s Office) employees are resolved by guilty pleas resulting in short or no period of incarceration and a chance for the criminal record to be cleared after a period of time.” Carter reported Wednesday: “Three months after the shooting, Israel awarded two of the deputies the BSO’s prestigious ‘Gold Cross Award.’ But under mounting criticism he later told reporters the deputies should not have received the awards, adding that he didn’t award the deputies but couldn’t investigate the matter because someone accidentally destroyed the paperwork, as reported.” Peraza was suspended and indicted for homicide two years after McBean was killed. He became the first officer charged in an on-duty shooting in the county since 1980. However, a local judge dismissed the case. The Florida Supreme Court vacated the lower court’s order. Now the Department of Justice is conducting an investigation into McBean’s death. Schoen accused Sheriff Israel of never accepting responsibility in cases such as this, claiming the “buck never stops with him.” Schoen told Carter that the McBean case is just one example of Israel’s failed leadership. Israel is named in the lawsuit based on “supervisory liability, his policies, and for being directly a part of the cover-up through the award process and failure to discipline, thereby ratifying and encouraging in the future this kind of conduct and an environment that rewards it,” Schoen said. Broward deputy and ‘Muslim mafia’ As WND reported, a leader of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in South Florida also serves as a deputy for the Broward County Sheriff’s office. Nezar Hamze is the regional operations director for the Florida chapter of CAIR, whose national office was named an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas-funding scheme and was designated a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates. How, then, asked anti-Shariah activist Joe Kaufman in a 2015 column for FrontPage Magazine, “is it possible that one of [CAIR’s] leaders, Nezar Hamze, could be considered for a position at one of the most prominent Sheriff’s offices in the United States?” Hamze, who has conducted active-shooter training at a Florida mosque, was caught on video outside a fundraiser in 2010 for then-British MP George Galloway repeatedly refusing to denounce Hamas. CAIR’s parent organization was founded in 1993 in the United States by operatives of Hamas, the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. In June 2007, Hamze covered for his cousin, Abdelaziz Bilal Hamze, after the relative murdered a woman, running her over with a minivan and dragging her body for several miles down the road, scattering her body parts. The cousin then attempted to flee the U.S. to the family’s native Lebanon. Nezar Hamze was quoted by media saying that while his cousin “made some bad decisions,” he “may have been a little threatened.”

These Horrors Hidden For More Than 40 Years Prove That The 'Deep State' Is Capable Of Having Children Murdered In 'False Flag Event' To Disarm America

February 28, 2018 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

In an absolutely fantastic comment over at Gab which @Annie75 recently made in responding to this ANP story, we get such a huge dose of truth that were the comment turned into a video over at youtube, the anti-freedom, brownshirt speech nazi's would quickly give the youtube channel 'a strike' and monitor it for future 'truth bombs'. Then preparing to delete their channel and all of its content under the guise of 'stopping bullying', the fascists over at youtube recently did just that to investigative journalist Jerome Corsi as reported in this new story over at the Hagmann Report. Yet the comment made was all too true and a perfect example of what happens when 'big tech' attempts to become the new 'ministry of truth' when they also hold the role of 'gatekeeper' for Hillary Clinton and the global elite criminal cabal: the truth is called 'fake news' or 'fiction' or completely flushed down the memory hole for eternity. Much new information below proves to us the globalists attempt to 'take down' America is accelerating at breakneck speed including a look at still-missing CDC doctor Timothy J. Cunningham, a high-ranking CDC official who worked on teams handling cases of zika virus and ebola virus and who may have been the source of still-unconfirmed leaked information that the flu shot itself is possibly responsible for the deadly 'flu' (or WHATEVER it is) now sweeping across America. First, Annie75's wise comment that fits in perfectly with the rest of this story.: "Why would a government that infected black men with a venereal disease and then did not treat them so they could watch the horrible progress of the disease before it killed them NOT be considered capable of murdering children in a false flag event to disarm us? The NRA taught black people the use of guns for self protection when they needed it most." With history proving that comment as truth no matter what the 'gatekeepers' might want Americans to believe as black men REALLY were infected with syphilis in the Tuskegee syphilis experiments that took place for 40 years between 1932 and 1972 and were conducted by the US Public Health Service, what else might these 'rat bastards' be capable of? Similar to the sick tests done by Nazi Germany upon their prisoners, deemed to be outright human torture, current day events are proving that the greatest modern day threats to freedom in America are our own 'deep state' and the same 'big tech' speech nazis who are quickly turning reality into some of the worst nightmares predicted by the book "1984". While Orwell's book was supposed to be science fiction and not a globalists instruction manual on how to incrementally 'lord over' then terrorize the free people of this planet, each day they push us further towards tyranny. A tyranny that would likely be immediately and openly unleashed in genocide in America could they somehow be successful at disarming law-abiding Americans. Yet as former President Thomas Jefferson himself warned wanna-be dictators centuries ago, should corrupt globalist politicians attempt to treasonously disarm law-abiding American citizens, it's possible they'd personally learn the meaning of Jefferson's oft-repeated quote. Might treasonous globalist politicians bring about their own destruction? We pray for peace in America. As we reported at ANP back on February 14th, the 'Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act of 2018' still being considered in Congress immediatly puts President Trump's base in the crosshairs with the bill's language labeling US patriots as potential terrorists simply for their love of America. Why are peaceful, law-abiding patriots being put in the crosshairs? With Democrats now openly admitting that they are 'running' the anti-gun movement being undertaken by school kids providing more evidence that it is they who are coming for Americans guns, as Brandon Smith recently reported in this must-read story over at Alt-Market, disarming Americans due to their 'mental health' is an extremely slippery slope that could easily be used against many healthy, law-abiding America citizens. As Smith points out, who makes the decision over whether or not someone can own a firearm? And will names, like the no-fly list, simply be put on a list with no oversight? And what about US Veterans who are already being denied their 2nd Amendment rights? The disarming of Americans is instantly inviting tyranny and genocide to America as Alaska Congressman Don Young recently hinted by suggesting that the holocaust could have possibly been prevented had those who the Nazi's gassed been well armed citizens. An extended excerpt from Smith's must-read story: Clearly, the so-called “authorities” are not trustworthy enough to carry out the job of protecting us all from active shooters. The only people capable of stopping an active shooter in a fast and practical manner are armed citizens on the scene at the moment the attack begins. Third, and most important, is the issue of mental health parameters and how they will be used to restrict gun rights. The ATF already has rules regarding people “adjudicated as mentally defective,” which includes people ruled a danger to themselves and others by a “court, board or commission or other lawful authority.” Now, these guidelines themselves can be rather broad, but abuse by government so far has been limited (though some instances have been egregious). If the Trump administration seeks to broaden the guidelines even further, then we may have a problem. Take for example the unacceptable abuse of military veterans and their 2nd Amendment rights by the Bureau of Veterans Affairs. The VA has in recent years placed restrictions on thousands of veterans, negating their gun rights without due process and without oversight. And all of this has been predicated on the claim that some veterans are “mentally defective” based on dubious parameters, including whether or not they let their spouse handle household finances. This is what I am talking about when I bring up the dangers behind “mental illness” and gun rights. WHO gets to decide who is mentally ill and why they are mentally ill? Will this be done by a jury of our peers? Or, by an unaccountable and faceless bureaucracy? Will the guidelines for mental illness be strict and specific, or will they be broad and wide open to interpretation? Once a person has been labeled mentally defective, will they have the ability to appeal the decision, or will the label haunt them for the rest of their lives? Gun rights activists should not put blind faith in the Trump administration to ensure that new mental health legislation will remain fair to the 2nd Amendment. Unfortunately, Trump is on record as supporting the “No Fly List” gun control bill. This type of bill is something liberty activists opposed vehemently under the Obama administration because it allows the government to erase the gun rights of almost anyone without due process merely by placing them on an arbitrary watch list. A list, I will remind readers, that is a matter of national security and not subject to public overview. Would a list of “mentally defective people” fall under the same Orwellian standards? While we're sure we'll be called 'conspiracy theorists' for suggesting that a sinister plot exists to wipe out a huge part of the population of the human race, and particularly Conservatives and Christians here in America, all we need to do is take a look back in history as recently as the 1970's to see that the 'deep state' was carrying out the most horrific of experiments upon Americans. Quite literally undertaking germ warfare that led to hundreds 'massacred', that 'undeclared warfare' upon American citizens went on for 40 years hidden from the public eye! Does anybody really think 'they' have our best interests in mind, or would tell us about similar experiments ongoing today, when they kept such horrors hidden for 40 years? As Wikipedia reports, unethical human experimentation has been going on here in America for over 100 years and in no way ended with the revelations of germ warfare upon US citizens at Tuskegee. As even this National Institutes of Health abstract reports, even weather modification is such an ongoing experiment: "human and environmental dangers posed by ongoing global tropospheric aerosolized particulates for weather modification and weather warfare has led to exposing millions of unsuspecting individuals to toxic coal fly ash with no public disclosure, no informed consent, and no health warnings." As Business Insider reported back in 2015, during the 1950's, the US military conducted one of the largest experiments in human history when they subjected the entire city of San Francisco to 'germ warfare' testing. From their story: San Francisco's fog is famous, especially in the summer, when weather conditions combine to create the characteristic cooling blanket that sits over the Bay Area. But one fact many may not know about San Francisco's fog is that in 1950, the US military conducted a testwhether it could be used to help spread a biological weapon in a "simulated germ-warfare attack." This was just the start of many such tests around the country that would go on in secret for years. And while today, the mainstream media 'en masse' quickly began pushing a story that missing CDC official Timothy Cunningham had told a neighbor that he was upset he was denied a promotion and that was possibly the reason for his sudden and mysterious disappearance, a much more likely scenario that the msm will never report upon is that Cunningham may have known too much and, like so many other dead scientists and microbiologists, was 'silenced' by the cabal. With Deagel's forecast population numbers for America still showing massive depopulation for our nation less than 7 years away, did Timothy Cunningham know something that made him 'dangerous' to their plans? And was he the source of information that the flu shot had been weaponized and was actually causing the mysterious deaths we're witnessing across America being blamed upon 'the flu'? The fact that Deagel is forecasting a population of only 54 million for America for 2025, down 270 million from our 2016 population, should be seen as another sign of where this is going. As Mike Adams reported over at Natural News back on January 30th, while science has given us proof that the flu is actually spread by those who've gotten vaccinated with "630% more 'aerosolized flu virus particles' emitted by people who received flu shots… flu vaccines actually SPREAD the flu". Well, what if the flu shot itself really was weaponized to kill? And if it really was 'weaponized' to kill, does anybody think that the 'gatekeepers' would allow us to know that? Hence the huge problem with the msm, google, twitter, facebook or youtube attempting to determine what 'truth' is or is not; deep state criminals and corruption at the highest levels will never allow truth to see the light of day if they can help it and will surely bury anything damning to them under the label of 'fake news' or 'conspiracy theory'. And if they can't 'bury it', they'll just kill the source. Just ask Seth Rich. Much more tomorrow on what we're now witnessing unfolding.

For as I have said unto you and as you have noticed the weather, the weather, the weather, the troubles that are going on here, the troubles that are going on there, the preparation for war, not just North Korea but Russia and other countries that hate America, they are preparing and getting ready.  For the hour is much later than most people think, it is far later than those that are walking in the false and tell you that you have ten, twenty, thirty years, far later.  But many of them do not understand the word because the word starts in the very beginning in Genesis and as you follow the things through the Bible you get a clear picture of what it was like and what it shall return to, for I have taught you everything goes in a circle and we are headed back now toward the garden once again.  It started in the garden and ends in a sense in the garden way before the white throne judgment.  Things are coming to pass, if you check them very carefully they will all fall in perfect place and you don’t have to walk in doubt, you don’t have to walk in fear, for I have opened your understanding.  Yes, demon activity is far greater, far greater today than it has been, but if you go back to the time of Nimrod you will see the same thing right there.  You will see why I had to cause the languages to be divided and the people to be separated, because they had a mind and whatever they thought, they were purposing to do and today we are seeing the very same things. It is not something new my children, for if you read what I have written and don’t add in to it, you will have a clear picture of everything that is taking place and you will even understand exactly where you are.  For I have spoken to you about the antichrist taking on his new spirit, that should tell you something by itself, that alone is a giant key that I have given unto my church that they may wake up and walk in the fullness of the things that I have given unto them.  Remember this winter it is not over, I will keep this area safe, it will be far safer than other areas, but winter is not over.

Russia's unstoppable nukes: Putin reveals new nuclear missiles that cannot be intercepted and can strike almost anywhere in the world

Vladimir Putin has revealed that Russia has a new nuclear weapon that is 'immune to interception'

Russian president said his nuclear-powered cruise missile is able to penetrate any missile defence

He said his arsenal includes a 'fantastic' nuclear-powered underwater drone and a hypersonic missile

Giving his state-of-the-nation address the President called Russia's nuclear scientists 'the heroes of our time'

By Sara Malm for MailOnline Published: 05:46 EST, 1 March 2018 | Updated: 19:46 EST, 1 March 2018

President Vladimir Putin has announced that Russia has tested an array of new nuclear weapons 'invulnerable to enemy interception' in a speech where he praised scientists behind the arsenal as 'the heroes of our time'. In his annual state-of-the-nation speech in Moscow, Putin said the weapons include a nuclear-powered cruise missile, a nuclear-powered underwater drone and new hypersonic missile and showed video footage the launch of a new heavy intercontinental ballistic missile on big screens. The video footage also contained a computer generated sequence showing the potential power and reach of the new rocket, which included bombs raining down over the U.S. state of Florida. During his speech, Putin said the creation of the new weapons has made NATO's U.S.-led missile defense 'useless,' and means an effective end to what he described as Western efforts to stymie Russia's development. Launch: President Putin also showed the crowd video footage of a test of the new Sarmat missile, carried out last year A frame grab take from a handout video footage provided by official website of Russian President kremlin.ru shows a submarine launching an unmanned submersible with an innovative nuclear engine demonstrated on displays during Russian President Vladimir Putin's address to the Federal Assembly Bragging: Russian President Vladimir Putin boasted that Russia had made a cruise missile 'able to reach almost any point in the world' that could penetrate any missile defence He said: 'I want to tell all those who have fueled the arms race over the last 15 years, sought to win unilateral advantages over Russia, introduced unlawful sanctions aimed to contain our country's development: all what you wanted to impede with your policies have already happened. 'You have failed to contain Russia.' Speaking of the new arsenal, Putin said that the nuclear-powered cruise missile tested last fall has an unlimited range and high speed and maneuverability allowing it to pierce any missile defense. The Russian leader said the high-speed underwater drone also has an 'intercontinental' range and is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead that could target both aircraft carriers and coastal facilities. He said its operational depth and high speed would make it immune to enemy intercept, adding: 'It's just fantastic!' Hitting their target? Social media users were quick to point out that this computer generated sequence appears to show missiles raining down on the U.S. state of Florida For comparison: A satellite image of Florida was shared on Twitter alongside Putin's nuclear video That's one big nuke: Footage showed the preparations ahead of the test launch of Russia's latest nuclear missile Ready to take off: The launch site is covered in snow as the test is prepared in the video showed by Putin during his speech Up and away: It is not know where the test was carried out, seen here successfully launching into the atmosphere Flying high: A computer generated missile is seen separating and flying above the Earth's atmosphere in the video Wide reach: An illustration from the video appears to showcase that Russia's new missiles can strike 'anywhere on the planet', as claimed by Putin Putin added to applause that names for the nuclear-powered cruise missile and the drone haven't yet been chosen, and suggested that the Defense Ministry run a nationwide contest for the best names. The President accompanied his statement to an audience of hundreds of senior officials and lawmakers with videos and computer images of new weapons, which were shown on giant screens at a conference hall near the Kremlin. 'No one in the world has anything like that,' he said. 'It may appear someday, but by that time we will develop something new.' The Russian leader said that another new weapon called Avangard is an intercontinental hypersonic missile that would fly to targets at a speed 20 times the speed of sound and strike 'like a meteorite, like a fireball.' 'This makes it absolutely invincible for any forms of air and missile defence,' he boasted, calling it an 'ideal weapon'. Putin said that Russia also tested a new heavy intercontinental ballistic missile, called Sarmat, with a range and number of warheads exceeding its Soviet-era predecessor, known in the West as Satan. He praised a new generation of young scientists working on such weaponry, calling them 'the heroes of our time'. Leading man: President Putin announced the nuclear weapons developments during his annual state of the nation address in Manezh in Moscow, Russia The Russian leader emphasized that the development of new weapons that have no equivalent in the West came in response to the U.S. withdrawal from a Cold war-era treaty banning missile defenses and U.S. efforts to develop a missile defense system. He said that the U.S. has ignored Russian complaints. 'No one has listened to us,' he said. 'You listen to us now.' He said the new weapons will help ensure global stability and draw a line under attempts to weaken Russia. He said that another weapons system, called Kinzhal, or Dagger, already has been deployed in Russia's Southern Military District. He said it's a hypersonic missile carried by an aircraft that that flies at 10 times the speed of sound with an unpredictable trajectory towards its target. Today's televised speech was timed to closely precede the March 18 election, in which Putin is set to easily win a fourth term. The Russian leader's approval ratings top 80 per cent despite an economic slowdown caused by continuing tensions with the West and a drop in global oil prices.

Russia's new hypersonic Sarmat ICBM has begun active testing – Putin (VIDEO)

Published time: 1 Mar, 2018 10:40 Edited time: 2 Mar, 2018 08:17

Russia's new hypersonic Sarmat ICBM, which is capable of overcoming missile defense systems, has completed tests and is a "breakthrough" for the country's missile program, according to President Vladimir Putin. The announcement was made during Putin's annual address to Russia's Federal Assembly, and was accompanied by a video showcasing the missile's capabilities. Sarmat is capable of outmanoeuvring modern missile defense systems, he said.

Putin told the Federal Assembly that Russia had begun working on ways to counter American anti-missile capabilities as early as 2004 – but that Washington had ignored Moscow's warnings. “You will listen to us now,” he said. Capable of carrying a wide range of nuclear weapons, the Sarmat system has virtually no range limit and will be able to attack across both the South and North Poles, Putin said. The Sarmat will replace the aging but reliable Soviet-era R-36M2 Voevoda (SS-18 Satan) ICBMs.

Last week, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said that the new missile “can rip [US] air defenses apart," adding that "at the moment [the US defense shield] poses no serious military threat to us, except for provocations."

North Korea sent chemical weapons materials to Syria, UN experts say

North Korea recently delivered 50 tons of materials to Syria for use in building what appears to be a chemical weapons facility, according to a U.N. report, flouting sanctions and likely generating a windfall for the isolated rogue nation. Pyongyang reportedly orchestrated several shipments to Syria in late 2016 and early 2017 that contained stainless-steel pipes, acid-resistent tiles, and valves. The report heightened fears that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is both enriching North Korea and redoubling his efforts to produce chemical weapons. The U.S. recently warned that it may again use military force if Syria continues using banned weapons. U.N. experts say North Korea also sent missile technicians and transferred banned ballistic missiles systems to Myanmar. The panel of experts monitoring sanctions against North Korea said its investigations into Pyongyang's transfer of prohibited ballistic missile, conventional arms and dual use goods found more than 40 previously unreported shipments to Syria between 2012 and 2017. The Associated Press reported on Feb. 2 that according to the experts, North Korea was violating U.N. sanctions on oil and gas, engaging in prohibited ballistic missile cooperation with Syria and Myanmar, and illegally exporting commodities that brought in nearly $200 million in nine months last year. AP obtained details from the more than 200-page report Tuesday. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

North Korea: A Reckoning

By Hal Lindsey

World leaders have known for a generation that a day of reckoning with North Korea would one day come. There were no easy solutions, so they did as little as they could, hoping the situation would resolve itself. But it did not. While leaders, especially in America, kicked the can down the road, the North Koreans did what they said they would do. They said they would develop nuclear weapons, and they did. They said they would create missile systems capable of wreaking havoc on their neighbors in their region. They did it. They promised H-bombs, and they developed H-bombs. They said they would create intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). They have them. Finally, they said they would make bigger ICBMS, capable of striking anywhere in the world. And today, they have that, too. The people who allowed this disaster — the “can-kickers” — now go on television as pundits. They criticize any approach to North Korea that differs from their own when they were in power. But here’s the problem with that. What they did, didn’t work! President Clinton tried appeasing the North Koreans. He gave them fuel and food. The New York Times wrote about the North’s interaction with the Clinton Administration. “The lesson was an important one for North Korea. By provoking the West, the government had profited: It received several years of free oil and kept its nuclear power plant intact. The United States spent millions in aid and only briefly delayed the North’s weapons program.” But that wasn’t the worst of it. With the help of former President Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton gave them more nuclear technology in exchange for the promise that they would only use it for peaceful purposes. They accepted the technology, then restarted their weapons program. George W. Bush was criticized for proclaiming North Korea part of an “axis of evil” along with Iran and Iraq. But history proves him right. He addressed the North Korean part of the “axis” by initiating the so-called “six-party talks.” The U.S., along with South Korea, China, Japan, and Russia negotiated with North Korea. Responding to harsh sanctions, the North Koreans agreed to shut down their nuclear operation in exchange for aid. They pulled out of the agreement shortly after Bush left office. As a candidate, Barack Obama criticized Bush for isolating North Korea. He came into office promising engagement with the regime. Again, the New York Times had an interesting assessment. “Rather than negotiate, Mr. Obama imposed a policy of ‘strategic patience,’ hoping that through sanctions and espionage, the United States could wait out the isolated state. Mr. Obama hoped that the North would eventually feel it had reason to negotiate and make a good-faith effort at talks. Instead the North pursued its weapons program and launched a series of cyberattacks on American businesses.” “Strategic patience” is another way of saying, “kick the can down the road.” Doing nothing didn’t work. The U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency estimates that by August of 2016, Kim Jong-un controlled an arsenal of up to 60 nuclear warheads. Since then, they have added hydrogen bombs to the stockpile. While the experts were saying they were years away from developing ICBMs that could hit the U.S. mainland, they proved this year that they have at least two kinds of missiles with that capability. In the last few days, they showed the incredible power of their newest missile. U.S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis said this missile can hit “everywhere in the world.” Today, North Korea is hundreds of times more dangerous than it was just five years ago. When he decides to negotiate, Kim can enter talks from a position of strength. He has dealt himself into the game, and he has given himself decent cards. He can bluff with a real threat behind his words. He can blackmail the world. Most people feel okay about a conflict with North Korea because they’re convinced that Kim wants to live, and he’s not stupid. He knows a nuclear attack against the U.S. would be suicide. So, we’re safe. Right? He’ll bluff, but that’s all. Maybe, but not necessarily. In August of 2016, a North Korean diplomat, Thae Yong-ho, defected. The BBC asked Thae if Kim Jong-un might attack the U.S. “Would he even destroy a city like Los Angeles,” the interviewer asked, “though the retaliation would surely kill him?” "Yes,” Thae answered, “because he knows that if he loses the power then it is his last day, so he may do anything, even to attack Los Angeles, because once people know that in any way you will be killed, then you will do anything.” Even a former insider like Thae can only guess at what Kim might do. But his reasoning is sound. As the Bible prophesied, we live in perilous times. But God remains sovereign. And His promises remain true. If you haven’t turned to Jesus with all your heart, I urge you to do so now.

Jesus Is Coming Soon!

by Hal Lindsey

For more than fifty years, I have lived in the urgent expectation of Jesus’ return. Fifty years is a long time. Do I regret it? Was I wrong? No and no! In Luke 12:37, Jesus said, “Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching.” (NKJV) As followers of Christ, we are to live in a state of watchfulness. A thousand years ago, there were Christians living in expectation of His coming. They were not foolish to do so. They were obedient. Titus 2:13 directs us to be “looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.” (NKJV) Those Christians from previous generations who lived in expectancy of Christ’s return tended also to be those who lived closest to Him. They were the ones most interested in His word, in sharing the Gospel, helping the poor, and caring for the sick. If you’re always on the lookout for Christ’s return, someone will inevitably remind you that no one knows the day nor the hour. But they’re missing the point. It’s precisely because we do not know the day nor hour of His return that we are to be watchful. In Matthew 24:42, Jesus said, “Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.” (NKJV) For two thousand years, people have been watching. That sounds like a long time, but remember this. God gave the first promise of His first coming to Adam and Eve. It took thousands of years, but God kept His word and Jesus came. By human standards, the Lord may sometimes seem slow. But He has a reason for that. 2 Peter 3:9-10 says, “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come.” (NKJV) When skeptics complain about God allowing evil and pain in the world, remember that “the Lord is not slack.” He will one day stop all the child molesters, terrorists, and other criminals. And He will hold them to account. But He won’t just stop the evil you don’t like. He will stop all evil. He will hold everyone to account. Why does he wait? Because He “is longsuffering toward us.” He’s “not willing that any should perish.” He wants everyone to “come to repentance” — turn to Him and be saved. For now, love and concern compel Him to wait. But He will not wait forever. Earlier in the same chapter, Peter wrote, “Knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, ‘Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.’” (2 Peter 3:3-4 NKJV) I’m convinced that these are the last days, and can assure you that scoffers have come. “I’ve been hearing this all my life!” … “You’ve been saying this for fifty years!” Yes, and I will keep on saying it because it’s still true. There are no signs yet to be fulfilled before the rapture. But signs of the Second Coming are everywhere. Since the rapture comes before the Second Coming, the rapture has to be exceedingly close! The big thing that makes our time different from any other is the existence of Israel as a nation, and the Jews having control of Jerusalem. But there are other things unique to our time, as well. For instance, before now the world did not have the technology needed for the Antichrist to control commerce as completely as the Bible foretells. There’s another sign unique to today. Jesus is coming soon . . . because He must! In dozens of areas, human civilization is hurtling headlong toward destruction. Look at just one — machines with artificial intelligence. Scientists like Stephen Hawking warn of such machines taking over the world, destroying the human race in the process. Far out? Even longtime proponents of artificial intelligence have now joined in the warnings. Air Force General Paul Selva, the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the U.S. Defense Department, recently warned about “autonomous weapons systems” similar to the title character in the movie, “The Terminator” — and just as dangerous. General Selva sees weapons that are not under direct human control as a menace to mankind. And, like self-driving cars, they’re just around the corner. Then there’s nuclear proliferation. Some people take comfort from the fact that no nuclear weapons have been used in combat since 1945. But that’s like taking comfort from the fact that you’ve been playing Russian roulette for an hour and no shots have been fired. Just keep playing, and the odds will catch up to you. During the Cold War, Carl Sagan, wrote, “The nuclear arms race is like two sworn enemies standing waist deep in gasoline, one with three matches, the other with five.” Except now, a madman in Korea also holds a match. The nation of Iran, run by religious fanatics who see it as their job to create an apocalypse, also have, or will soon have, a match in their hands. Next door neighbor enemies, India and Pakistan, both have nukes. Russia has more than anybody, and no one knows if their leader is crazy or not. But don’t be afraid. Things are shaping up as God said they would. Just be sure you have invited Jesus to save you. Receive the pardon purchased for you when He died on the cross. He will instantly give you a new heart with new desires. Ask Him to empower you with His Holy Spirit. Then remember to thank Him for all these things. In His power, you will begin to live a life that will draw others to Him as well.

Putin says 'no one in the world has anything like' all-powerful nuclear missile

Kim Hjelmgaard, USA TODAY Published 6:30 a.m. ET March 1, 2018 | Updated 12:43 p.m. ET March 1, 2018

Russian President Vladimir Putin boasted Thursday that his country has developed a nuclear missile with an unlimited range and completely immune to enemy intercept. Speaking during an annual state-of-the-nation speech in Moscow, Putin said the ballistic missile is capable of penetrating any missile defense and can reach virtually any target around the world. "No defense systems will be able to withstand it," he said. NATO has nicknamed this missile — an RS-28 Sarmat rocket — "Satan 2." Russian media has claimed it could entirely wipe out an area the size of Texas or France. Neither the White House nor the U.S. defense community offered immediate reaction. Putin has a track record of talking up his country's military and technological prowess. Putin also unveiled what he said was Russia's new advanced weapons technology. His two-hour address included video clips of underwater drones and intercontinental missiles. Putin delivered a warning to the United States over its pursuit of anti-missile defense systems. "Efforts to contain Russia have failed, face it," he said. "Nobody listened to us. Well, listen to us now," Putin added, referring to accusations that Washington has been violating non-nuclear proliferation agreements by assisting countries from Poland to Japan to establish global anti-missile systems. It follows claims by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Wednesday that the U.S. is training armed forces in Europe on how to use nuclear weapons against Russia. In his Thursday address, Putin said its new nuclear rocket effectively renders U.S. missile defense systems around the world meaningless. "No one in the world has anything like (this weapon)," Putin said. "It may appear someday, but by that time we will develop something new." Still, Malcom Chalmers, a defense expert at the Royal United Services Institute, a defense and security think tank, said it wasn't clear that Putin's announcement actually represented new or novel Russian military capability. "This is Putin emphasizing that his country's new generation of missiles will be able to overcome any missile-defense systems," he said. "Russia has been able to hit targets in the U.S. and around the world since the 1960s. We also need to view his words in the context of a Russian election this month. The topic has popular appeal." One of President Trump's first acts in office was to order Defense Secretary Jim Mattis to conduct a "nuclear posture review." Mattis' report was published in February. It concluded that the U.S. "now faces a more diverse and advanced nuclear-threat environment than ever before, with considerable dynamism in potential adversaries’ development and deployment programs for nuclear weapons and delivery systems." The report intensely focuses on Russia, and to a lesser extent, China. "They have added new types of nuclear capabilities to their arsenals, increased the salience of nuclear forces in their strategies and plans, and engaged in increasingly aggressive behavior, including in outer space and cyber space," the report says. More: No one can prevent Trump from using nuclear weapons, experts say

Israeli Satellite Images Reveal: Iran Builds Military Base Near Damascus

>>Satellite images of Iranian military base in Syria may portend an Israeli strike | Analysis

Last week, the New York Times reported the locations of dozens of bases in Syria operated by Iranian forces, including a map showing the location of a T4 airbase near Tadmor. Also in the map was the airport of Damascus, which Israel has reportedly attacked on multiple occasions. >> Thirteen Israeli border points raising tensions with Lebanon << Iranian officials openly claim that they are working to build an axis of resistance to Israel and the U.S. in the region. Iranian strategy is based on building ties with local forces who share the same goals. Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman responded to the report in an interview with Wednesday morning saying, "There's nothing new under the sun, and there is no need to treat all information in the media as absolute. We are listening and following the events. We will also act in the international arena to achieve everything possible." At the Munich Security Conference last week, Netanyahu warned that Israel would act against Iran if needed. "We will act if necessary not just against Iran's proxies but against Iran itself," he said, holding up a piece of an Iranian drone Israel shot down after it infiltrated its territory. "Iran continues to try to cross those red lines," said the prime minister. "Last week its brazenness reached new heights, literally new heights. Israel will not allow the Iranian regime to put a noose of terror around our neck." Netanyahu asked Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, who was sitting in the crowd: "Do you recognize it? You should, it’s yours. Don’t test us." Netanyahu added: "This action is intended to fight Iranian aggression on the ground toward the upcoming decision in Washington on the Iran deal. I will be meeting President Trump soon and this will be our first topic of discussion, this bad agreement that allows Iran to run on the highway towards nuclear weapons. The current situation needs to be changed with or without a change in the agreement." Two weeks ago, an Iranian drone that crossed into Israeli airspace was intercepted by the Israel Air Force, sparking a flare-up between Israel and Syria, with an Israeli F-16 shot down and an extensive Israeli strike against Iranian and Syrian targets in Syria. In December, Syrian state television reported that Israeli warplanes struck a military base near Damascus. According to the pro-Assad news outlets, the target of the attack was an Iranian military base and the Israeli aircraft had been launched from Lebanese airspace. The reports also said that Israeli surface-to-surface missiles had been intercepted by Syrian air defenses. The report did not divulge further details as to the attack's target or of casualties sustained. Forces connected to the Syrian military told Reuters that the Israeli Air Force fired six missiles that caused a large fire in the area.

Rising Rates Forecast Insolvency – Michael Pento

By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com

Money manager Michael Pento says recently rising interest rates are signaling big trouble for the economy. Pento contends, “There are so many things that can go wrong with rising interest rates. First of all, you have to understand that the permabulls that you hear on CNBC will tell you there is nothing wrong with rising interest rates. It is a symbol of growth. If you look at industrial production and retail sales for January, they were negative. So, rising rates are occurring, not because of growth, they are caused by insolvency concerns. That is the key metric here, and they are credit risks and insolvency concerns.” Who is insolvent? Pento says, “Europe is insolvent. The United States is insolvent. . . . We have $21 trillion in debt. That’s seven times our revenue. So, we are technically insolvent. You haven’t seen anything yet because as interest rates rise, debt service expenses rise. . . . Certainly, beyond a shadow of doubt, the Bank of Japan is insolvent.” Pento says 10-year Treasury rates could easily go to “7%,” which is a massive move from a little less than 3% today. This would not be some wild swing, but a “return to long term averages.” What are central bankers going to do then? Pento says, “I think the end game is central bankers are going to come back in and buy everything. They are going to buy every fixed income sovereign debt instrument that they can find because interest rates are going to spiral out of control. . . . You are going to have a panic out of Treasuries, a panic out of high yield, a panic out of leveraged loans and a panic out of bond funds.” Pento also predicts, “For the first time in 40 years, you are going to have bond prices and equity prices in free-fall. That happened in the 1970’s, but it’s going to be worse because in the 1970’s, you didn’t have an insolvency concern. . . The chaos coming to markets is here. It’s not going away, and it’s not going to be brushed under the rug. It’s not going to stay on the sidelines for another few years. The years from 2007 to 2017 were the years central banks were buying everything. There was no volatility, and stocks just went up. Those days have ended, and the volatility is only going to become much more profound.” Join Greg Hunter as he goes One-on-One with financial expert Michael Pento, founder of Pento Portfolio Strategies. After the Interview: Michael Pento also says, “Beware, some banks and brokerages will go under in the next crash. Faith in central banks and fiat currency will be wiped out when the biggest bubble of all pops.” Pento also predicts “new all-time highs will be reached in precious metals sometime in 2019.” You can find free information, analysis and regular podcasts on Michael Pento’s site called PentoPort.com.

Tech companies should stop pretending AI won’t destroy jobs

No matter what anyone tells you, we’re not ready for the massive societal upheavals on the way.

February 21, 2018 A View from Kai-Fu Lee

I took an Uber to an artificial-­intelligence conference at MIT one recent morning, and the driver asked me how long it would take for autonomous vehicles to take away his job. I told him it would happen in about 15 to 20 years. He breathed a sigh of relief. “Well, I’ll be retired by then,” he said. Good thing we weren’t in China. If a driver there had asked, I would have had to tell him he’d lose his job in about 10 years—maybe 15 if he was lucky. That might sound surprising, given that the US is, and has been, in the lead in AI research. But China is catching up—if it hasn’t already—and that rivalry, with one nation playing off the other, guarantees that AI is coming. China will have at least a 50/50 chance of winning the race, and there are several reasons for that. First, China has a huge army of young people coming into AI. Over the past decade, the number of AI publications by Chinese authors has doubled. Young AI engineers from Face++, a Chinese face-recognition startup, recently won first place in three computer-vision challenges—ahead of teams from Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and Carnegie Mellon University. Second, China has more data than the US—way more. Data is what makes AI go. A very good scientist with a ton of data will beat a super scientist with a modest amount of data. China has the most mobile phones and internet users in the world—triple the number in the United States. But the gap is even bigger than that because of the way people in China use their devices. People there carry no cash. They pay all their utility bills with their phones. They can do all their shopping on their phones. You get off work and open an app to order food. By the time you reach home, the food is right there, hot off the electric motorbike. In China, shared bicycles generate 30 terabytes of sensor data in their 50 million paid rides per day—that’s roughly 300 times the data being generated in the US. Third, Chinese AI companies have passed the copycat phase. Fifteen years ago almost every decent startup in China was simply copying the functionality, look, and feel of products offered in the US. But all that copying taught eager Chinese entrepreneurs how to become good product managers, and now they’re on to the next stage: exceeding their overseas counterparts. Even today, Weibo is better than Twitter. WeChat delivers a way better experience than Facebook Messenger. And fourth, government policies are accelerating AI in China. The Chinese government’s stated plan is to catch up with the US on AI technology and applications by 2020 and to become a global AI innovation hub by 2030. In a speech in October, President Xi Jinping encouraged further integration of the internet, big data, and artificial intelligence with the real-world economy. And in case you’re wondering, these things tend not to be all talk in China—as demonstrated with its past policies promoting high-speed rail and the mass entrepreneurship and innovation movement. In comparison, things get bogged down in the US. Consider the way President Barack Obama’s loan guarantee to solar-panel maker Solyndra was hammered as crony capitalism. Truckers are now appealing to President Donald Trump and Congress to stop testing of autonomous trucks. The rise of China as an AI superpower isn’t a big deal just for China. The competition between the US and China has sparked intense advances in AI that will be impossible to stop anywhere. The change will be massive, and not all of it good. Inequality will widen. As my Uber driver in Cambridge has already intuited, AI will displace a large number of jobs, which will cause social discontent. Consider the progress of Google DeepMind’s AlphaGo software, which beat the best human players of the board game Go in early 2016. It was subsequently bested by AlphaGo Zero, introduced in 2017, which learned by playing games against itself and within 40 days was superior to all the earlier versions. Now imagine those improvements transferring to areas like customer service, telemarketing, assembly lines, reception desks, truck driving, and other routine blue-collar and white-­collar work. It will soon be obvious that half of our job tasks can be done better at almost no cost by AI and robots. This will be the fastest transition humankind has experienced, and we’re not ready for it. Not everyone agrees with my view. Some people argue that it will take longer than we think before jobs disappear, since many jobs will be only partially replaced, and companies will try to redeploy those displaced internally. But even if true, that won’t stop the inevitable. Others remind us that every technology revolution has created new jobs as it displaced old ones. But it’s dangerous to assume this will be the case again. Then there are the symbiotic optimists, who think that AI combined with humans should be better than either one alone. This will be true for certain professions—doctors, lawyers—but most jobs won’t fall in that category. Instead they are routine, single-domain jobs where AI excels over the human by a large margin. Others think we’ll be saved by a universal basic income. “Take the extra money made by AI and distribute it to the people who lost their jobs,” they say. “This additional income will help people find their new path, and replace other types of social welfare.” But UBI doesn’t address people’s loss of dignity or meet their need to feel useful. It’s just a convenient way for a beneficiary of the AI revolution to sit back and do nothing. And finally, there are those who deny that AI has any downside at all—which is the position taken by many of the largest AI companies. It’s unfortunate that AI experts aren’t trying to solve the problem. What’s worse, and unbelievably selfish, is that they actually refuse to acknowledge the problem exists in the first place. These changes are coming, and we need to tell the truth and the whole truth. We need to find the jobs that AI can’t do and train people to do them. We need to reinvent education. These will be the best of times and the worst of times. If we act rationally and quickly, we can bask in what’s best rather than wallow in what’s worst.

Drones that dodge obstacles without guidance can pursue you like paparazzi

A skilled autopilot function will make drones far more ubiquitous and useful.

by Will Knight February 13, 2018

Artificially intelligent drones are coming—and they’re going to shoot some really sick snowboarding videos along the way. A startup called Skydio is launching the first drone capable of visually imprinting on a person, a bit like a needy duckling, and then following him or her around, deftly navigating around trees, pylons, and other obstacles while shooting video. In other words, your very own robotic, airborne paparazzo. The new drone, called R1, will be marketed as an easy way to capture action like biking, skiing, or rafting in high-quality video. But Adam Bry, founder and CEO of Skydio, says his company is thinking about how it could be used to inspect roofs for damage and to patrol properties. Aerial vehicles are already being used to inspect buildings, perform security patrols, and tally inventory inside warehouses. But to navigate a complex and unfamiliar environment, a drone typically needs to be controlled by an expert pilot on the ground, or else its surroundings must be mapped in great detail. The R1 drone uses deep learning to recognize a person. It employs conventional methods for mapping and navigation, along with a mathematical approach to path planning that Bry has been working on since his time as a student at MIT. One of his projects involved teaching a plane with a two-foot wingspan to fly through a busy garage without crashing (see “Daredevil drone flies through the trees like an ace”). Self-flying drones are harder to perfect than self-driving cars. Mapping the environment and planning a path must be done in three dimensions rather than two, and drones typically cannot carry much in the way of computing power. But navigating a busy physical world is a fundamental challenge for machines of many kinds, so advances in drone control could perhaps prove useful for AI more broadly. Researchers at MIT recently announced another technique that could further improve the agility of drones. A group led by Russ Tedrake, a professor at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL), published a paper showing how some understanding of uncertainty can help a drone navigate through a complex environment even at high speed. Embracing uncertainty is an idea that could have broad implications in AI (see “Google and others are building AI systems that doubt themselves”). The R1, which costs $2,499, features 13 cameras for capturing its surroundings, and a compact chipset for AI applications called the Jetson TX1, designed by Nvidia. The drone uses a software and hardware stack that the company calls the Skydio Autonomy Engine.

Euro Space Agency probe begins search for guff gas on Mars

Do we mean methane? You're darn tootin'

By Richard Speed 21 Feb 2018 at 11:49

The European Space Agency's ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) is to conduct its final aerobraking manoeuvre this evening prior to starting its mission of sniffing for Martian methane. TGO should finally settle into its proper orbit tonight, 400km above the red planet. It was launched nearly two years ago aboard a Russian Proton rocket, along with the Schiaparelli lander (which created its own crater on the surface of Mars in October 2016). The aerobraking technique uses tiny amounts of atmospheric drag on the orbiter’s 17.5m solar panels to adjust the orbit and carry out some bonus science on the dynamics of the Martian atmosphere. It is the first time ESA has attempted to use aerobraking as the primary method to get into a science orbit around a planetary body, although the technique is not entirely novel, having been used by NASA for missions such as Mars Global Surveyor and Magellan. Starting in March 2018, boffins will use data received from spectrometers and infrared instruments (NOMAD and ACS) onboard the 3,732kg orbiter to search for traces of methane and capture snaps from a camera, capable of taking images at a resolution of 5 metres per pixel, to give context to the readings. Sadly, the imagery will be insufficient to determine if any methane emissions are coming from a nervous NASA Rover worried about its fate or angry Martians ejected from the Mars leg of a Dubai-bound Transavia flight. It should, however, be enough to provide imagery of more common trace gas sources, such as volcanoes. The hunt for methane is an important one, since the gas is destroyed on Mars by ultraviolet light from the Sun in as short a time as 400 years. Whatever remains should be mixed uniformly throughout the atmosphere. However, ESA’s Mars Express and ground observations have hinted at variations in concentration of methane in the atmosphere that vary with location and time. Boffins theorise that there may be two potential sources of this methane. The geological explanation calls for a reaction between water and the mineral olivine occurring as part of active underground volcanic processes. Alternatively, biology may be at work with either frozen methane produced by long dead organisms being released over time or actively flatulent microbes roaming the subsurface of the planet. The mission is expected to last until 2022, with the orbiter acting as a data relay for ESA's 2020 Mars Rover mission.

February 19th, 2018 By Whitney Webb

WASHINGTON – While cyborg soldiers and fully automated weapons have long been fodder for futuristic sci-fi thrillers, they are now a reality and, if the Pentagon gets its way, will soon become the norm in the U.S. military. As Defense One reported last Thursday, the Army had just concluded a live-fire exercise using a remote-controlled ground combat vehicle complete with a fully automated machine gun. The demonstration marked the first time that the Army has used a ground robot providing fire in tandem with human troops in a military exercise and, as Defense One noted, “it won’t be the last.” Indeed, last week’s exercise represents just the latest step in the Pentagon’s relatively quiet tip-toe into converting the U.S. Armed Forces to a machine-majority force. Faced with low recruitment and an increased demand for soldiers, the Department of Defense is seeking to solve that problem altogether while also increasing the military’s firepower and force in combat. Though unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), better known as drones, are the most well known of these devices, the Pentagon has been investing heavily — for decades — in a cadre of military robots aimed at dominating air, sea, and land. In 2010, the Pentagon had already invested $4 billion in research programs into “autonomous systems” and, since then, its research wing — Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, better known as DARPA — has been spending much of its roughly $3 billion annual budget funding robotic research intended for use in military applications. According to former U.K. intelligence officer John Bassett, DARPA’s investments in robotics and automated weapons will not only quickly become the norm in the U.S. military, they will soon replace humans, who are set to become a minority in the U.S. military in a matter of years. During a recent speech, Basset – a 20-year veteran of the British spy agency Government Communication Headquarters (GCHQ) and very familiar with U.S. military research – warned that the U.S.’ attempts to “stay ahead of the curve” will result in the Pentagon’s deployment of thousands of robot soldiers over the next few years. The upshot, according to Basset, is that the U.S. Army will have “more combat robots than human soldiers by 2025” – just seven years from now. The mechanization revolution in the military, however, isn’t set to stop there. According to the Army’s official Robotic and Autonomous Systems (RAS) strategy, the Army plans to have autonomous “self-aware” systems “fully integrated into the force” between 2031 and 2040 along with the complete automation of logistics. The strategy also states that, by that time, the Army will have a cadre of robots at its service including “swarm robots” that will be “fully powered, self-unpacking and ready for immediate service,” along with advanced artificial intelligence designed to “increase combat effectiveness,” particularly in urban combat zones. Now that ground robots are undergoing testing alongside human soldiers, the Army’s vision along with Basset’s prediction are set to become the new reality of the U.S. military. Ground robots like those used in the recent Army exercise are hardly the only type of robot soldier soon to be at the Pentagon’s disposal. Weapons manufacturers have been all too eager to comply with the Pentagon’s growing demand for automated war machines and have already developed a variety of such devices, to the delight of senior military officials. In 2015, U.S. weapons giant Lockheed Martin began working with the military to develop automated networks that manage complex missions involving both unmanned aerial and ground vehicles, an effort still underway. That same year, the Navy began deploying underwater drones. A year later in 2016, Boeing – now the largest defense contractor in the U.S. — launched an unmanned submarine designed for exploratory missions as well as combat, followed by DARPA’s release of an autonomous drone ship to be used for hunting down enemy submarines, set to be used by the U.S. Navy later this year. While such machines have been advertised as combat aids to human soldiers, DARPA has also been working on developing so-called “killer robots” — i.e., robot infantry set to replace human soldiers. Many of these robots have been developed by the Massachusetts-based and DARPA-funded company Boston Dynamics, whose veritable Sears Catalog of robots includes several models designed specifically for military use. One of those robots, dubbed “Atlas,” is capable of jumping and backflips, carrying heavy loads, navigating uneven terrain, resisting attacks from a group of humans and even breaking through walls. Another Boston Dynamics robot, called “WildCat” can run at sustained speeds of nearly 20 miles per hour. By comparison, a gifted human runner can briefly sprint at about 16 miles per hour. Of course, the Pentagon’s interest in robotic warfare systems is not limited to machines alone. As The Atlantic reported in 2015, DARPA has been focused on “transforming humans for war” since 1990 by combining man and machine to create a “super soldier.” In 2001, DARPA made its first major advance in this area when it unveiled two exoskeleton programs. By 2013, this had evolved into a “super soldier” suit known as TALOS (Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit), which is complete with imaging systems, cooling/heating, an oxygen tank, embedded sensors and more. It is expected to be fully functional by later this year. Most of DARPA’s other “super soldier” programs remain secret, however. Of those that are acknowledged, the most disconcerting is the “Brain-Machine Interface,” a project first made public by DARPA at a 2002 technology conference. Though its goal was to create “a wireless brain modem for a freely moving rat,” which would allow the animal’s movements to be remotely controlled, DARPA wasn’t shy about the eventual goal of applying such brain “enhancement” to humans in order to enable soldiers to “communicate by thought alone.” Even this went too far for some defense scientists, who warned in a 2008 report that “remote guidance or control of a human being” could quickly backfire were an adversary to gain access to the implanted technology, and who also raised concerns about the moral dangers of such augmentation. DARPA, for its part, seems hardly concerned with such possibilities. Michael Goldblatt, director of the DARPA subdivision Defense Sciences Office (DSO), which oversees the “super soldier” program, told journalist Annie Jacobsen that he saw no difference between “having a chip in your brain that could help control your thoughts” and “a cochlear implant that helps the deaf hear.” When pressed about the unintended consequences of such technology, Goldblatt stated that “there are unintended consequences for everything.” While those “unintended consequences” may not keep DARPA higher-ups like Goldblatt awake at night, concerns about the Pentagon’s plan to embrace a mechanized future have been common outside of the military. In attempts to quell those concerns, the Pentagon has repeatedly assured that humans will always remain in control when it comes to making life-and-death decisions and that they are putting special care into preventing robots from engaging in unintended attacks or falling prey to hackers. They have even enlisted experts to help add “ethics” so its robotic soldiers will not violate the Geneva Conventions and will “perform more ethically than human soldiers.” This may seem a rather low bar to those who are aware of the Pentagon’s egregious record of human rights violations and war crimes. If the Pentagon’s use of drones is any indication, the military’s “ethical” use of automated killing machines is indeed suspect. Previous reporting has shown that those who doubt the Pentagon’s professed concern over preventing “unethical” consequences resulting from its development of a robot army are right to do so. As journalist Nafeez Ahmed reported in 2016, official U.S. military documents reveal that humans in charge of overseeing the actions of military robots will soon be replaced by “self-aware” interconnected robots, “who” will both design and conduct operations against targets chosen by artificial-intelligence systems. Not only that, but these same documents show that by 2030 the Pentagon plans to delegate mission planning, target selection and the deployment of lethal force across air, land, and sea entirely to autonomous weapon systems based on an advanced artificial intelligence system. If that weren’t concerning enough, the Pentagon’s AI system for threat assessment is set to be populated by massive data sets that include blogs, websites, and public social media posts such as those found on sites like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. This AI system will employ such data in order to carry out predictive actions, such as the predictive-policing AI system already developed by major Pentagon contractor Palantir. The planned system that will control the Pentagon’s autonomous army will also seek to “predict human responses to our actions.” As Ahmed notes, the ultimate idea – as revealed by the Department of Defense’s own documents — is to identify potential targets — i.e,. persons of interest, and their social connections, in real-time by using social media as “intelligence.” What could possibly go wrong? Armed with a budget of over $700 billion for the coming year – which will likely continue to grow over the course of Trump’s Pentagon-controlled presidency — the Pentagon’s dystopian vision for the future of the military is quickly becoming a question not of if but when. Not only does it paint a frightening picture for future military operations abroad, it also threatens, given the rapid militarization of law enforcement, to drastically change domestic policing. The unknowns here are beyond concerning. And the unintended consequences of manufacturing a self-policing army of self-aware killing machines – without human emotion, experience, or conscience – could quickly become devastating. Worse still, they are, like genies let out of bottles, not so easily undone.

China’s great leap forward in science

Chinese investment is paying off with serious advances in biotech, computing and space. Are they edging ahead of the west?

by Philip Ball Sun 18 Feb 2018 04.00 EST

I first met Xiaogang Peng in the summer of 1992 at Jilin University in Changchun, in the remote north-east of China, where he was a postgraduate student in the department of chemistry. He told me that his dream was to get a place at a top American lab. Now, Xiaogang was evidently smart and hard-working – but so, as far as I could see, were most Chinese science students. I wished him well, but couldn’t help thinking he’d set himself a massive challenge. Fast forward four years to when, as an editor at Nature, I publish a paper on nanotechnology from world-leading chemists at the University of California at Berkeley. Among them was Xiaogang. That 1996 paper now appears in a 10-volume compendium of the all-time best of Nature papers being published in translation in China. I watched Xiaogang go on to forge a solid career in the US, as in 2005 he became a tenured professor at the University of Arkansas. But when I recently had reason to get in touch with Xiaogang again, I discovered that he had moved back to China and is now at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou – one of the country’s foremost academic institutions. For Xiaogang, it seems that America was no longer the only land of opportunity. These days, Chinese scientists stand at least as good a chance of making a global impact on science from within China itself. The economic rise of China has been accompanied by a waxing of its scientific prowess. In January, the United States National Science Foundation reported that the number of scientific publications from China in 2016 outnumbered those from the US for the first time: 426,000 versus 409,000. Sceptics might say that it’s about quality, not quantity. But the patronising old idea that China, like the rest of east Asia, can imitate but not innovate is certainly false now. In several scientific fields, China is starting to set the pace for others to follow. On my tour of Chinese labs in 1992, only those I saw at the flagship Peking University looked comparable to what you might find at a good university in the west. Today the resources available to China’s top scientists are enviable to many of their western counterparts. Whereas once the best Chinese scientists would pack their bags for greener pastures abroad, today it’s common for Chinese postdoctoral researchers to get experience in a leading lab in the west and then head home where the Chinese government will help them set up a lab that will eclipse their western competitors. Many have been lured back by the Thousand Talents Plan, in which scientists aged under 55 (whether Chinese citizens or not) are given full-time positions at prestigious universities and institutes, with larger than normal salaries and resources. “Deng Xiaoping sent many Chinese students and scholars out of China to developed countries 30 to 40 years ago, and now it is time for them to come back,” says George Fu Gao of the Institute of Microbiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing – who himself gained a PhD at Oxford before studying at Harvard. “The startup packages for researchers in good universities in China can be significantly higher than Hong Kong universities can offer,” says Che Ting Chan, a physicist at the Hong Kong University of Science & Technology in what was previously China’s affluent and westernised neighbour. “They provide more lab space and can help settle the spouse.” That, he notes ruefully, “makes recruiting young faculty staff increasingly challenging here.” Other well-off east Asian countries, such as Singapore and South Korea, are feeling the competition too. The Chinese authorities are pursuing scientific dominance with systematic resolve. The annual expenditure on research and development in China increased from 1995 to 2013 by a factor of more than 30, and reached $234bn in 2016. The number of international publications coming out of China has remained in step with this rise. “Money is plentiful to certain Chinese researchers, possibly more so than to their competitors, especially if it means gaining an edge,” says stem-cell biologist Robin Lovell-Badge of the Francis Crick Institute in London. The ultimate aim is to develop a homegrown, innovative research environment, says Mu-Ming Poo of the Institute of Neuroscience of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Shanghai. “The government is beginning to recognise that big investment and recruitment of talent from abroad are not sufficient. We need to build infrastructure and mechanisms that facilitate innovation within China.” That’s not easy, and won’t happen fast. “Officially, government leaders say that taking risks is allowed, but the system of evaluating scientists and projects, and the philosophy and methods of instruction in university curricula, aren’t compatible with this policy.” China’s strength also comes down to sheer numbers, though. “There is always a certain fraction of talented people who are innovative,” says Chan. “China has the advantage of having a lot of people.” One of the more controversial ways Chinese institutions encourage their researchers to publish high-profile papers is to offer cash incentives. One study found that on average a paper in Nature or Science could earn the author a bonus of almost $44,000 in 2016. The highest prize on offer was as much as $165,000 for a single paper, up to 20 times a typical university professor’s annual salary. According to quantum physicist Jian-Wei Pan of the University of Science and Technology in Hefei, as a relative latecomer to the global scientific stage, China needs such incentives as a way of maintaining enthusiasm. Chan adds that “the rewarding system is transparent, and the expectation of the senior administration is clearly spelled out. Most of my friends in China don’t see this as a problem – many feel that any formula, even if it’s simple and naive, is better than no formula.” But could it not tempt researchers to cheat – fabricate or cherrypick results so that they can claim a dramatic discovery? The 2016 study of cash incentives also reported a rise in plagiarism, ghostwritten papers and other dishonest attempts to get published. Poo says that, whatever the case, the practice of cash incentives is not widespread. “Only a few low-level research institutions are doing this, not the Chinese Academy of Sciences or top universities,” he says. He thinks that problems with scientific misconduct and fraud in China have more to do with poor quality control or lack of punitive measures. However, the pattern seems clear, and is worth heeding by other nations: despite China’s reputation for authoritarian and hierarchical rule, in science the approach seems to be to ensure that top researchers are well supported with funding and resources, and then to leave them to get on with it. Cloning, embryology and virology The recent news that a laboratory in Shanghai has succeeded in cloning macaque monkeys made world headlines not just because of the impressive scientific feat but because of the implications for humans. While mammals from sheep (Dolly in 1997) to pigs, dogs and cows have been cloned before, primates have been a problem. Mu-Ming Poo and his colleagues cracked the problem by treating the monkey eggs into which the genetic material of the cloned individual had been placed with a cocktail of molecules that awaken the genes needed to promote development into an embryo. The Chinese team has so far only produced healthy baby monkeys by cloning cells taken from other monkey foetuses, not from adult monkeys. But Poo tells me: “I think cloning using adult cells will be accomplished soon, probably within one year.” Such experiments on our close evolutionary relatives raise ethical concerns, all the more so because there were many failures: only two live births out of 79 attempts. Nonetheless, the work makes human reproductive cloning look more feasible in principle. And despite the ethical issues surrounding such research (many countries ban it, including the UK), the magnitude and cost of the work already undertaken reinforces a sense that if China sets its sights on a particular scientific or technological target, nothing will get in its way. It’s with good reason Poo asserts that China has become a world leader in stem-cell science and regenerative medicine. Researchers at Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou created similar surprise and alarm when in 2015 they announced the first use of high-precision gene-editing in a human embryo – not for reproductive medicine but to examine the viability of the technique to edit a disease-causing gene variant, using IVF embryos that could not develop further. That work was refused publication in the leading journals Nature and Science on ethical grounds, although related work has now been licensed and conducted in the UK. “Genome biology has been well supported in China for some time, with huge investment in genome sequencing projects,” says Lovell-Badge. There’s perhaps a temptation to ascribe some of China’s dominance here to a looser regulatory environment, but Lovell-Badge says that may not be the case. “Work on pigs and macaques is much easier and cheaper to do in China than in Europe and the US – it’s not necessarily anything to do with animal research ethics,” he says. “The best scientists want their work to be accepted in the west, so many have been trained by western scientists and their facilities designed with guidance from the west. But it is wrong to say that there are no restrictions. There may not be strict laws or even regulations, but there are strict guidelines – and if these are not followed, the consequences can be severe to the scientists involved.” China is taking great strides in other areas of biological science too. The waves of deadly bird flu that have afflicted the country annually since it was first detected in 2013 supply a very urgent need for research in virology. Chinese researchers had already learnt a lot about viral epidemics, says George Gao, after the outbreak of the particularly virulent form of influenza that caused SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) in 2002-3, originating in Guangzhou. Gao’s work has focused on understanding how ‘zoonotic’ viruses like bird flu, which cross from animals to humans, are transmitted across species. He has also looked at the structures and molecular mechanisms of the SARS, Ebola, Zika and MERS (Middle East respiratory syndrome) viruses, all of which potentially pose global threats. The government has invested heavily in this field, he says, but he has no illusions that China still has some catching up to do. “In my opinion we are yet far behind US science in general. And we need a better system to encourage businesses to develop basic research.” The quantum internet In January, Chinese researchers announced that they had sent data securely encrypted using the rules of quantum mechanics via satellite to Vienna in Austria – a demonstration of the potential of a “quantum internet” that Dutch quantum physicist Ronald Hanson of the Technical University of Delft describes to me as “a milestone towards future quantum networks”. Quantum information technologies harness the counterintuitive principles of quantum physics to do things with information that are impossible with the 1s and 0s of binary code in today’s devices. Quantum computers can, for some tasks, operate faster and with more computational resources than ordinary computers, while a quantum telecommunications network – the quantum internet – could employ data-encryption methods that are rendered tamper-proof by the fundamental quantum laws of nature. The principles of so-called quantum cryptography were worked out in the 1980s, but applying them to information encoded in light signals for long-distance transmission is an immense technical challenge. China’s approach here again exemplifies its can-do mentality. The government has begun to install a fibre-optic network for quantum telecommunication stretching from Shanghai to Beijing. But for longer-distance transmission optical fibres are no good because the light signal eventually gets too dim as it passes along the fibre. Instead signals must be through the air, using lasers to connect orbiting satellites with ground stations. In 2016 China initiated an international project called Quantum Experiments at Space Scale (Quess) and launched a satellite designed for quantum data handling, called Micius after the romanised name of the ancient Chinese philosopher Mozi. The satellite work is being led by Jian-Wei Pan, who studied for his PhD in Vienna under Anton Zeilinger, one of the foremost scientists in the field of quantum information science. With that pedigree, Pan could have had his pick of jobs in the field, but in 2001 he chose to return to China. In 2009 he oversaw the task of constructing a “quantum communication hotline” for the military parade on the 60th anniversary of the Chinese communist state, and in 2012 he won the prestigious biennial International Quantum Communication award. Pan’s success in getting this technology up and running feels almost inexorable. Last year his team in Hefei drew more hyperventilating headlines by demonstrating the first “teleportation” of quantum objects (photons or “particles” of light) from the ground-based observatory at Ngari in Tibet to Micius, up to 1,400km away. The feat is not quite as science-fictional as it sounds – quantum teleportation, unlike the Star Trek version, does not involve any transmission of matter – but it could be an important trick for quantum telecommunications. The team also reported transmission of the “key” used for quantum encryption of signals between ground stations in China and Micius. The latest advance was to get such keys all the way from Beijing to Vienna. This meant sending a laser signal with the quantum information from the Xinglong observatory near Beijing to Micius as it passed over China, and then having Micius communicate another such message with a station in Graz as it traversed the night sky over Austria. The link-up between Xinglong and Beijing, and between Graz and Vienna, was made along local fibre-optic networks. In this way, a video conference held between the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing and the Austrian Academy of Sciences (of which Zeilinger is president) in Vienna was conducted with the robust security of quantum encryption – a striking harbinger of what a quantum internet might provide. Pan says that the key to the remarkable success of Quess so far is coordination and collaboration within the immense pool of talent that China possesses. “When researchers [in different disciplines] undertake joint research, they can truly innovate,”, he says. Acquiring skills abroad is still important for Chinese researchers, says Pan, and will be for some time. But increasingly it’s working the other way around too. “In my laboratory there are quite a few foreign students from developed countries, and some of them are even learning Chinese”, he says. Space In China no goal seems too big – not even the sky is the limit. In June the Chinese space agency plans to launch a lunar space mission to deliver a satellite that will guide a rocket in 2019 to the far (“dark”) side of the moon, bearing a robotic lander vehicle. The satellite link is essential for relaying data from the rover back to Earth. It’s all part of a campaign aiming at a manned moon mission in the 2030s. China is already regarded as a serious contender with the US, Europe and Russia for predominance in space, although so far it has shown enthusiasm for collaborating with Europe. It has launched two prototype unmanned space stations in its Tiangong programme, a prelude to Tiangong-3, which, if launched in the early 2020s, will support a crew of three – potentially including astronauts from other UN member nations. China has even discussed building a moon base with the European Space Agency. Despite this apparently collaborative spirit, China’s space ambitions evoke the pioneering maritime voyages of Zheng He in the 15th century, which some historians today regard as a way of asserting the “soft power” and heavenly rule of the Ming emperor. Nothing like Zheng He’s “treasure ships” had ever been seen on the oceans before: they dwarfed the vessels in which Europeans like Vasco da Gama explored the world. Many are now wondering whether, in science and technology, those times are returning. Since you’re here … … we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading the Guardian than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. And unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. The Guardian’s independent, investigative journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe our perspective matters – because it might well be your perspective, too.

Putin Holds Military Exercises on Islands Claimed by Japan

By Henry Meyer and Isabel Reynolds February 13, 2018, 7:00 PM EST

Japanese PM to meet Putin in May amid strains over territories

Abe seek breakthrough with Russia as counterweight to China

Russia is accelerating a military buildup on islands claimed by Japan, threatening to blow a hole in Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s efforts to lure President Vladimir Putin into settling the dispute. The government in Tokyo lodged a formal protest after 2,000 Russian troops held military exercises last week on the four islands, called the Southern Kurils in Russia and the Northern Territories in Japan. A few days before, Russia paved the way for its first military airbase in the area. Russia’s twin strikes came as diplomats from both countries met Feb. 6 to discuss joint economic development of the territories. Abe the next day marked Japan’s annual “Northern Territories Day” with a pledge that he and Putin would resolve the “abnormal” lack of a peace treaty after World War II. Failure to end the dispute over the islands seized by Soviet troops at the end of the war would deal a severe blow to Abe, who’s poured time and energy into seeking a breakthrough since coming to power in 2012. For the Kremlin, cooler ties with Tokyo may put at risk promised Japanese investment and undermine Russian efforts to peel away a key U.S. ally. While determined to stay close to the U.S., Abe’s eager to strike a deal with Russia partly to counterbalance China’s growing economic and military power in the region.  ‘Unrealistic Ideas’ “The Japanese side has unrealistic ideas about the possible time frame for all this,” said Fyodor Lukyanov, head of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy, a research group that advises the Kremlin. Russia’s expanding its military presence “to damp expectations,” he said. The two leaders have met 20 times, including at a hot springs resort in Abe’s hometown of Nagato in 2016. He’s due to visit Putin’s hometown in May to address the annual St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. The premier’s also under fire at home. “It’s good to have warm relations at the top level, but just because you are friends doesn’t mean they will give the islands back,” said Yasuhide Nakayama, chairman of the foreign affairs committee in Japan’s lower house of parliament and a member of Abe’s Liberal Democratic Party. Russia’s military exercises sent “the worst possible message,” he said. Russia sent a clear signal that it’s in no rush. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov cautioned in a state television interview on Sunday that Russia and Japan need to build up their relations before reaching a territorial agreement, a process he said took more than 40 years with China. “The Japanese side is in a hurry,” and there’ll be “enormous disappointment” if there’s no progress, said James Brown, an expert in Russo-Japanese relations at Temple University in Tokyo. Abe sought to break the deadlock in 2016 by proposing a joint plan to develop the windswept territories, which lie 15 miles (25 kilometers) from Japan’s Hokkaido Island. He offered help in fish farming, greenhouse farming, tourism, wind power and waste recycling. While Russia welcomes the idea, the initiative has barely advanced because of a disagreement over whether the ventures would operate under Russian law. That’s a critical condition for Tokyo, because any dilution of Russian sovereignty could allow it to accept an offer first made by Moscow in 1956 to return the two smaller islands, said Brown. “If they can get a foothold back onto the islands, even with these small projects, then it means Japanese businesses are there, Japanese citizens can work there,” he said. “They can package that as a stepping-stone toward the return of all the islands.” Russia, for its part, has secured promises of major Japanese energy investments, including in offshore developments and LNG projects in Sakhalin and the Arctic, offering Putin the chance to ease pressure on his economy from U.S. and European sanctions over the conflict in Ukraine. Military Footprint But he’s shown no willingness for compromise on the islands, convinced that Abe has a greater need for a pact because of Japan’s growing concern over China. Meanwhile, tensions have grown since Russia in 2016 expanded its military footprint on the Kurils, deploying anti-ship missile batteries, upgrading an artillery division and floating plans for a naval port for large warships. Most recently, it approved warplanes’ use of a newly-opened airport. Putin cast doubts on progress over the peace treaty in November as Russia reacted angrily to Japan’s decision to buy another U.S. anti-missile defense system to counter the threat from North Korea. Japan insists the system doesn’t threaten Russia. Russia’s military escalation “is a response to U.S. actions because we have no other enemies in this region,” said Alexander Lukin, an Asia expert at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations. “There’s also a psychological moment -- Russia wants to demonstrate that it’s our territory and we aren’t prepared to surrender it to anyone.” — With assistance by Takashi Hirokawa, Elena Mazneva, and Samuel Dodge

ICBM's Being MOVED Throughout U.S.A.

Category: U.S. National News

For some reason, it appears that the United States is presently undertaking the physical MOVEMENT of Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles (ICBM's). This is not something you see every day. The question is: Why are our missiles being physically moved? Could it be to new homes so the old homes cannot be successfully targeted? This missile was being moved along back roads near Sore Finger Road, in Arizona in the direction of . . . . Area 51 on February 7, 2018. There was a very significant police escort. We are not, to my knowledge, still manufacturing new ICBM's. So why are we moving the one's we've already got?

Denver Drops 72 Degrees In 40 Hours, Lands In All-Time Top Temp Swings

February 20, 2018 at 3:46 pm By Chris Spears

DENVER (CBS4) – Sitting at a mile above sea level and in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains, Denver is known for having an extreme climate. But the most recent temperature swing ranked as one of the biggest ever observed. According to the National Weather Service in Boulder, after a high of 69°F at 2:27 p.m. on Sunday (Feb. 18) Denver’s official low hit -3°F just over 40 hours later at 6:45 a.m. on Tuesday (Feb. 20). The 72 degree drop tied for the 8th biggest swing ever noted in a period of two days or less. It also landed in the top 20 biggest temperature swing events for Denver since records began in 1872. By the way, neither the 69°F high or the -3°F low were new daily records but they were close. Sunday’s record high was 73°F set in 2016 and Tuesday’s record low was -5° set in 1955. Oddly enough it was the second time in just four months that such an extreme temperature swing was observed. In October 2017 the temperature dropped 71 degrees between the 25th and 27th.

UN Exposed as Haven for Child Rapists; More Scandals Coming

Written by Alex Newman Monday, 19 February 2018

After decades of United Nations “peacekeeping” troops and officials raping women and children all over the world with complete impunity and even “diplomatic immunity,” a chorus of global outrage and media attention is reaching epic proportions. A handful of predators are now facing justice. But the tsunami of public fury comes as widely reported estimates suggest some 60,000 victims have been raped and sexually abused by UN officials over just the last decade — with almost nobody punished but the victims and whistleblowers. Still, the wheels of justice are turning, slowly but surely. Just this week, the top “children's rights” chief at the disgraced UN “children” agency UNICEF admitted to raping a 12-year-old boy — after the same agency was caught running a child pornography studio in its basement in Belgium using African children it procured. That UN child rapist was sentenced to prison this week. But former UN officials have said that the revelations so far are just the “tip of the iceberg.” The escalating pedophilia and sex abuse scandals engulfing the UN and its “peacekeeping” forces have become so massive that even the pro-UN media, including the notoriously globalist CNN and The Guardian, have been forced to cover it. Indeed, all over the world, the UN is making headlines for raping and exploiting children — not to mention sexual abuse and harassment of the UN's own employees. Various “aid” groups funded by taxpayers are in the crosshairs, too. As the scandals grow, the UN formally announced — for the first time ever — that it would not claim “diplomatic immunity” to protect the estimated 3,300 pedophiles working for the global organization. So far, though, virtually none of the UN troops involved in the widespread rape of children have been held criminally accountable. In fact, those who tried to stop the pedophile rapists were viciously persecuted while the predators continued their horrific abuses. Meanwhile, as the UN faces global criticism for the abuse, the UN “education” agency known as UNESCO has just sparked controversy by releasing radical new “Comprehensive Sexuality Education” standards for humanity. Among other concerns, critics suggested the radical indoctrination program, which begins by normalizing the “LGBT” agenda and promoting "sexual pleasure" at age five, would help sexualize and “groom” young children, facilitating sexual abuse. UNICEF and other agencies repeatedly caught in pedophilia scandals were also involved in the new sex standards that critics say facilitate exploitation and abuse of children. Aside from the UN itself, a number of globalist and leftist “non-governmental organizations” that purport to fight for “children” are also ensnared in growing child-rape scandals. So far, tax-funded Oxfam, the radical left-wing outfit that shills for globalism and statism, has taken center stage, with some of its top executives implicated in organizing or covering up orgies with local victims in Haiti, including allegations that some of the girls coerced into the bizarre “sex parties” were children. The scandal reportedly goes all the way to the top. Among the explosive stories coming out is one that just hit the headlines this week. Former UNICEF “child rights” campaigner Peter Newell, who led the global effort to jail parents who spank their children as a disciplinary measure, was sentenced to six years in a British prison for raping a young boy, who was just 12 when the predatory UN official began raping him. The “horrific” abuse was perpetrated by Newell while he worked for the UN drawing up the guidelines for the totalitarian “UN Convention on the Rights of the Child,” a global scheme that sidelines parents and parental rights — thereby facilitating abuse of children by predators. The U.S. government has not joined the UN CRC. And Newell-style abuse of children by UN officials is systemic, experts say — UN officials were even caught running a child porn studio in UNESCO's basement forcing children to engage in sex acts for the cameras. “There are tens of thousands of aid workers around the world with pedophile tendencies, but if you wear a UNICEF T-shirt nobody will ask what you’re up to,” said attorney and professor Andrew MacLeod, former chief of operations of the UN’s Emergency Coordination Center who became an anti-sex abuse campaigner after realizing the enormity of the problem. “You have the impunity to do whatever you want. It is endemic across the aid industry across the world.” “The system is at fault, and should have stopped this years ago,” he warned. Among other policies, MacLeod says tougher background checks, an end to impunity, and more would be a good start. Acknowledging the enormity of the problem is important, too. Citing UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres' own figures released last year, MacLeod and a group of campaigners known as “Hear Their Cries” estimated that there have been 60,000 victims of UN sex abuse just in the last decade. They also estimate that the UN currently employees some 3,300 pedophiles, many of whom have access to children and “diplomatic immunity” to shield them from justice. When asked by MacLeod whether UN boss Guterres believes legal immunity applies to UN officials who abuse children, the UN spokesperson gave what appears to be the first ever statement categorically stating that child abusers will not be protected by immunity. “Let's be clear. The answer is no,” the UN chief's spokesperson said on social media. “Sexual abuse is a crime. The United Nations does not and will not claim immunity in such cases.” Other former UN employees-turned-whistleblowers have cited the culture at the UN as one of the reasons for the horrors. Speaking of “predatory pedophiles” in the so-called “aid” world who abuse children with impunity, former UN official Rasna Warah explained that “the culture of silence allows such wrongdoing to continue.” Warah, who wrote the book UNSilenced: UNmasking the United Nations' Culture of Cover-ups, Corruption and Impunity, said that this impunity was likely to continue at the UN — especially if the predators in question are senior UN officials. “When in 2005, the UN established an Ethics Office, staff members believed that they could report criminal or unethical behaviour confidentially without being punished,” said Warah, who also suffered retaliation for trying to blow the whistle on UN corruption. “However, the UN Ethics Office has proved to be a channel through which wrongdoing is covered up. Very few staff members who have approached the office for help have obtained justice; on the contrary, many have been forced to resign or been fired.” To deal with the impunity, Warah wrote in her column at Kenya's The Daily Nation newspaper that officials of donor countries should consider withdrawing funds for UN agencies. The problem of impunity and persecuting whistleblowers at the UN is well documented. When UN insiders have attempted to expose even horrifying abuses such as widespread child rape by the UN and its “peace” armies, the whistleblowers have typically faced persecution by UN leaders, while the perpetrators are generally protected at all costs. Anders Kompass, for example, the former UN human rights worker who tried to stop child rape in Africa by “peace” troops there, faced extreme retaliation for doing the right thing. After the persecution, he even wondered publicly whether ethics could ever return to the UN. He concluded that the answer was probably no. Top officials are implicated, too. The UN “High Commissioner for Human Rights,” Islamic prince and anti-freedom zealot Zeid Ra’ad al Hussein, was a key figure who orchestrated the persecution of Kompass and other whistleblowers. Hussein oversaw a vicious campaign of retaliation and abuse waged against his own officials such as Kompass, who blew the whistle on the rape of children by “peace” troops in Africa. He also persecuted whistleblowers who exposed UN agencies sending sensitive technology to North Korea and another which helped Beijing target human rights activists. Executive Director Bea Edwards with the Government Accountability Project, which fights for whistleblowers, was outraged by Hussein's antics. “And what of Zeid Ra’ad al Hussein, the High Commissioner for Human Rights who oversaw the reprisal? He remains ensconced in his position. That was nearly five years ago,” she wrote, citing Hussein's vicious reprisals against his own subordinates who tried to do the right thing and stop the rape of children and the attacks on human-rights defenders in China. “So now, Zeid will step down without seeking a second term,” Edwards continued. “It seems that no one has any use for him. Not his own government, nor the governments represented on the Security Council. He explains his decision to depart come August by saying that the human rights climate around the world is 'appalling.' For someone committed to human rights, this would be a reason to stay, but not for Zeid. In any case, he will long be remembered as the High Commissioner for Human Rights Who Retaliated Against Whistleblowers. We hope his successor will be more responsible.” Even UN employees are not immune from the predators in the UN — and that is according to even left-wing globalist publications that love the UN and normally shield it from bad press. “The United Nations has allowed sexual harassment and assault to flourish in its offices around the world, with accusers ignored and perpetrators free to act with impunity,” the far-left U.K. Guardian reported last month. “Dozens of current and former UN employees described a culture of silence across the organization and a flawed grievance system that is stacked against victims.” When victims report the rapes or abuse, they get fired. While U.S. lawmakers have been suspiciously quiet about the horrifying abuse they continue to fund with American tax dollars, British politicians are turning up the heat. Senior Conservative (Tory) Member of Parliament Conor Burns, who serves as Foreign Minister Boris Johnson’s parliamentary aide, suggested that what has emerged thus far is just “the tip of an iceberg in finding out what has been going on.” “I believe that there has been systematic, organised and covered-up activity going on over many, many years,” said Burns, who said MacLeod needed to be taken very seriously. Other British lawmakers and even Prime Minister Theresa May have suggested that the United Kingdom would withhold funds from the UN until it dealt with the wave of sex abuse and pedophilia. A handful of U.S. lawmakers have also threatened to defund the UN's predatory UN “peace” troops, but so far, the massive U.S. funding continues to flow. Trump's latest budget proposal cuts the funding somewhat — with disgraced agencies such as UNICEF being cut off entirely — but U.S. taxpayers would still be the largest financiers of the dictators club and its horrific crime spree. Unfortunately, the evil now being exposed at the UN was hardly surprising to seasoned observers of the UN. In fact, as this publication and others have documented extensively, the problem is systemic. Everywhere UN troops go — Africa, Europe, Asia, the Americas — they have been exposed raping children, killing civilians, abusing power, and more. In one town in the Ivory Coast where a survey was done, eight out of ten underage girls admitted to being routinely raped and exploited by UN troops. In that same country, the UN and UN-backed jihadist militias who butchered thousands of Christians with machetes violently removed the elected Christian president and put a totalitarian Islamic central banker in his place. Even without knowing the ghastly history of UN abuses, it should be no surprise that so much evil inhabits the halls of the dictators club. And it is clear that “reform” is beyond useless. The UN was in fact birthed from a poison seed — it's first Secretary-General, American Alger Hiss, who played a lead role creating the UN, was eventually convicted for serving as a spy of mass-murdering Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin, one of history's most savage and murderous tyrants. Since then, the UN has waged practically perpetual war on national sovereignty, self-government, morality, and freedom. Rather than reform, there is only one true solution for neutralizing the threat of the predatory UN: disband the dictators club and discard its remains on the ash heap of history. Congress could help make that happen by passing the American Sovereignty Restoration Act, also known as HR 193, to quit and evict the global body. But overcoming establishment and globalist pressure on Capitol Hill will only happen when enough outraged Americans finally raise their voices to protest the UN's despicable behavior. How much more UN child rape and evil the American people will be forced to support, then, will ultimately be decided by American voters.

Big Pharma’s War On Our Children: 1 Million Kids Under Age 6 On PSYCHIATRIC Drugs

Mac Slavo February 20th, 2018 SHTFplan.com

In the United States, there are one million children under the age of six on psychiatric drugs. This number is particularly disturbing, considering the horrifying side effects and ineffectiveness of a good number of these types of harmful drugs. One in six Americans overall regularly take some type of medication in this category. However, children are now being swept up in Big Pharma’s desire to make money, not improve health. Mental health watchdog group Citizens Commission on Human Rights is drawing attention to the concerning fact that more than a million kids younger than six in our nation are currently taking these psychiatric drugs. According to Natural News, around half of these children are four to five years old and an incredible 274,804 of them are younger than a year old. That’s right: babies are being given psychiatric drugs. The number rises for toddlers aged two to three, with 370,778 kids in this category taking psychiatric drugs overall. If this isn’t horrifying to you, congratulations on your brainwashing. Data from IMS Health shows that the drug situation only gets worse as kids get older, with 4,130,340 kids aged 6 to 12 taking some type of psychiatric drug. You might be forgiven for assuming that most of these statistics are made up by kids taking ADHD drugs given how common that approach seems to be nowadays, but it really only accounts for a small portion of it, with 1,422 of those younger than a year old and just over 181,000 of those aged four to five taking ADHD drugs. –Natural News The biggest category of psychotic drugs given to children appears to be anti-anxiety drugs. Just over 227,132 babies under one-year-old and nearly 248,000 of those aged four to five take these medications. Again, babies are being given mind-altering drugs before their first birthday. But the news just gets worse from there. Experts believe these estimates are far too low and the real numbers are actually much higher, due in part to the tendency for some doctors to hand out psychiatric medications for “off-label” uses. This risky practice entails giving out a drug to treat something that it is not indicated for, and the long-term effects of such an approach are completely unknown. When adults choose to take psychiatric medication, it may be ill-advised in many cases, but it is still their choice to make. Children, on the other hand, lack the cognition to fully understand the lifelong impact of such a choice, and this essentially amounts to forced medication. We already know that many doctors have a financial incentive to get young people to start taking these drugs, but why are their parents so willing to get on board? Many of them are also taking psychiatric medications, of course. In fact, it has practically become a way of life in our nation and many people think of these meds as harmless. The side effects of these drugs are nothing to scoff at, however, with antianxiety, antidepressant and antipsychotic drugs linked to heart attacks, psychosis, suicidal ideation, diabetes, stroke, mania and sudden death. As if that weren’t bad enough, there’s also the fact that many of the high-profile public shootings in recent years were perpetrated by young people on such drugs, so not only do kids have the risk of dying when they take these meds, but they could also take out a whole classroom or movie theater with them. –Natural News Is this a war on our children perpetrated by Big Pharma and condoned by the government? Maybe. Nothing seems impossible anymore.

Tea Party Movie Review of Black Panther: The epitome of racist, collectivist paranoia

February 21, 2018 John

The popular and critically acclaimed movie, Black Panther, is a fantastic opportunity for the Tea Party to finally review a movie that portrays extremely well the horrors of collectivism, paranoia, racism, and any non-capitalist government. The movie from the outset is firmly settled on a foundation of monarchy and wholly concerned about the racist concept that a person’s genetic makeup or their family right is a license to rule over others. The film even goes so far as to state that the power vested in the land should be used to protect “people who look like us” from their oppressors, further underscoring the racist and collectivist overtones of the movie. The plot reinforces these concepts by a strict adherence to family rule, and the fact that the only option to transform leadership is by initiating force and defeating the king. Much of the movie is set in the Kingdom of Wakanda, which is idolized as a paradise; joyous and prosperous because of an all powerful alien mineral buried in their land from a meteorite that smashed into the Earth centuries prior. The mineral, vibranium, is the foundation of their leaders’ great power and the foundation of the super science they were able to create. The Kingdom, though, is isolated by its paranoia and desire to conceal its great gift. Wakanda’s only export is spies, so they can keep the secrets of their super science and their limitless supply of vibranium to themselves. The plot peeks when the isolationist Kingdom of Wakanda is set into turmoil as its people learn that T’Chaka, their recently assassinated king, had killed his brother for selling vibranium to the outside world. The son of his slain brother, Killmonger, enraged by the killing of his father, seeks revenge upon T’Chaka’s son, T’Challa, the story’s present day Black Panther and current King of Wakanda. Killmonger uses violence and his lineage to take control of Wakanda because he seeks to use the power of vibranium to conquer the world. T’Challa eventually defeats Killmonger in an epic battle and the movie ends with the beginning of an attempt to reach out to the rest of the world to make it a better place. There is never a definitive end to the idea of monarchy rule of Wakanda or an attempt to reverse the underlying theme of race-based decision making. The movie Black Panther is filled with action and adventure as well as a cinematographic delight. The theme, though, being rooted in all that is bad in this world, makes it a far less desirable movie and an immoral theme to portray. The Tea Party gives the Black Panther movie 2.0 out of 5.

USA – -(Ammoland.com)- Have you been through this lately– You turn on the “news” only to see a 12-year-old lecturing you about “doing something” about “the guns” because he or she doesn't feel safe in school? Scolding you because as adults we aren't doing “enough” about “the guns” that are killing everyone his or her age? Maybe this–You walk out to your driveway to grab the “news” paper, (some of us still do this every morning) then walk back into your kitchen and sit down over a cup of coffee. Removing the plastic bag, you unroll the paper only to see the headline screaming, “Taking a Stand,” with a picture of some dopey 65-year-old old lady holding a sign above her head with the letters “NRA” dripping in red paint? Maybe you're a glutton for punishment as I am and head over to any network “news” outlet, (take your pick) and see the liberal interviewer leading a 16-year-old down the road of gun control with questions designed to do just that? Get used to it. It isn't going away anytime soon, and the progressive media (read: every television network and most big-city newspaper outlets) are out in full force, having a collective orgasm over their ability to attack you as gun owners. Yup, they'll even use our school-aged children to do it. Despicable? Yes. Going to stop anytime soon? Nope. For this reason, it's going to be very difficult for you, (and me) to watch as this onslaught of hysterical gun-grabber coverage ensues, unabated for the near future. They're coming for you, they want your guns, and they will stop at nothing in their concerted effort to bowl over the constitution (and our freedoms) in their efforts. It is not going to be easy for us as law-abiding, responsible, gun owners to watch. I'm warning you now, get ready. What follows is a quick reference guide to keeping your sanity in the coming days, weeks and unfortunately, months. You can start here: 1. Remember, no one is taking your guns. Repeat that to yourself over and over until it sinks into your head, then do it again. Do it as often as is necessary to make yourself feel better. Yes, you will watch a seemingly endless parade of ignorant morons, standing with their funny signs, screaming “Do something,” while proposing nothing. Don't let this bother you. Remember, these are misinformed goofy progressives, emotionally charged to a point that they that they can't think straight…if they ever could. 2. Know that you are not the problem. You have never been. The guns in your safe at home, on your hip or in your vehicle (hundreds of millions of them) are not responsible for the actions of an evil monster. While the media, the likes of Megyn Kelly, screaming for ratings, talk show hosts like the liberal crybaby, Jimmy Kimmel, celebrity morons Michael Moore, Jennifer Lawrence, George Clooney and others are going to get a ton of airplay. I'm here to remind you to remind yourself that these people are hypocrites who demand action from you that they refuse to take themselves. Remember this if you have an opportunity to talk to them: suggest that they disarm their armed security details and the armed security that protects their children at private schools before telling you how to live your life. 3. Know that what you are watching is the reason Trump was elected. Real America has had it with these progressive hypocrites, liberal media outlets and gazillionaire celebrities preaching to you about how much to pay in taxes, phony global warming and gun-control schemes while they make millions of dollars, fly around in private jets and protect themselves with firearms. Keep that in mind. Remember it. Drill it into your head. 4. Take a break. Disengage from the 24-hour “news” cycle. Do yourself a solid and turn the crap off. If you can't do that, turn it down. It is not healthy, nor is it necessary for you to watch the liberal bombardment of your way of life, hour after hour after hour for days on end. If you insist on it, move from the television to a computer where you can reinforce your lifestyle by visiting the sites like AmmoLand News that make you feel good, not the barrage of media from outlets that despise you. Manage that stress by getting your head out of the press. This type of terrible, 24-hour coverage is not healthy, mentally or physically. Turn. It. Off. 5. Remember, you are right, they are wrong. No gun control law ever, and I mean ever, stopped a killer from being a killer, and never will. 6. Go to the range, blow off some steam and surround yourself with like-minded friends and family. It's fabulous stress relief. If all of that fails on the first try, rinse and repeat. This is not going to be easy to get through if all you do is watch the garbage. I'm asking you to take a break. Turn off the cycle that upsets you and turn to your echo-chamber. Read AWR Hawkins at Breitbart News and listen to Armed American Radio, GunTalk with Tom Gresham and any other show you like that reinforces your views. We're all in this together, we're right, and freedom will always prevail. We'll have to weather some storms from time to time, and this is one of those times but, together, as freedom loving Americans, we must never forget that it is OUR side that has the constitution in its corner.

Assault Weapons Not Protected by Second Amendment, Federal Appeals Court Rules

by The Associated Press Feb 22 2017, 10:24 am ET

ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Maryland's ban on 45 kinds of assault weapons and its 10-round limit on gun magazines were upheld Tuesday by a federal appeals court in a decision that met with a strongly worded dissent. In a 10-4 ruling, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia, said the guns banned under Maryland's law aren't protected by the Second Amendment. "Put simply, we have no power to extend Second Amendment protections to weapons of war," Judge Robert King wrote for the court, adding that the Supreme Court's decision in District of Columbia v. Heller explicitly excluded such coverage. Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh, who led the push for the law in 2013 as a state senator, said it's "unthinkable that these weapons of war, weapons that caused the carnage in Newtown and in other communities across the country, would be protected by the Second Amendment." "It's a very strong opinion, and it has national significance, both because it's en-banc and for the strength of its decision," Frosh said, noting that all of the court's judges participated. Judge William Traxler issued a dissent. By concluding the Second Amendment doesn't even apply, Traxler wrote, the majority "has gone to greater lengths than any other court to eviscerate the constitutionally guaranteed right to keep and bear arms." He also wrote that the court did not apply a strict enough review on the constitutionality of the law. "For a law-abiding citizen who, for whatever reason, chooses to protect his home with a semi-automatic rifle instead of a semi-automatic handgun, Maryland's law clearly imposes a significant burden on the exercise of the right to arm oneself at home, and it should at least be subject to strict scrutiny review before it is allowed to stand," Traxler wrote. National Rifle Association spokeswoman Jennifer Baker said, "It is absurd to hold that the most popular rifle in America is not a protected 'arm' under the Second Amendment." She added that the majority opinion "clearly ignores the Supreme Court's guidance from District of Columbia v. Heller that the Second Amendment protects arms that are 'in common use at the time for lawful purposes like self-defense.'" The NRA estimates there are 5 million to 10 million AR-15s — one of the weapons banned under Maryland's law — in circulation in the United States for lawful purposes. Asked about an appeal, Baker said the NRA is exploring all options. But Elizabeth Banach, executive director of Marylanders to Prevent Gun Violence, said the decision is "overwhelming proof that reasonable measures to prevent gun violence are constitutional." "Maryland's law needs to become a national model of evidence-based policies that will reduce gun violence," Banach wrote in a statement. U.S. District Judge Catherine Blake upheld the ban in 2015, but a divided three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled last year that she didn't apply the proper legal standard. The panel sent the case back to Blake and ordered her to apply "strict scrutiny," a more rigorous test of a law's constitutionality. The state appealed to the full appeals court. Maryland passed the sweeping gun-control measure after the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre that killed 20 children and six educators in Connecticut. King mentioned the massacre at the start of the ruling. "Both before and after Newtown, similar military-style rifles and detachable magazines have been used to perpetrate mass shootings in places whose names have become synonymous with the slaughters that occurred there," King wrote. He listed the 2012 shootings at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado; the December 2015 shootings in San Bernardino, California; and the shootings last year at an Orlando, Florida, nightclub, where 49 people were killed and 53 injured. King also noted that enacting the law is "precisely the type of judgment that legislatures are allowed to make without second-guessing by a court." "Simply put, the State has shown all that is required: a reasonable, if not perfect, fit between the (Firearms Safety Act) and Maryland's interest in protecting public safety," King wrote.

Creepy “World Government Summit” Targets America, Freedom

Written by Alex Newman Wednesday, 21 February 2018

Top globalists, communists, and Islamists from around the globe gathered this month on the Arabian Peninsula for the World Government Summit — yes, that is the confab's real name — to push for what they called a “new world order.” More than a few speakers made clear that liberty, self-government, and the “America First” agenda were in the crosshairs. On the other hand, Big Government, trans-humanism, and globalism were presented as the solution to basically everything, from alleged man-made “global warming” and health problems to unemployment and even hate. Aside from global governance and statism, one of the key themes of the conference was the merger of man and machine to become “cyborgs.” Artificial Intelligence and “Happiness,” directed by authorities, were also major topics. But while critics ridiculed and slammed the scheming, and most American media outlets completely ignored it, the globalist confab has been helping to advance a planetary agenda that is completely at odds with American traditions of liberty and self-government. And the speakers, organizers, and attendees barely bothered to conceal that fact — probably in part because they knew Americans were unlikely to hear about the antics from the purveyors of “fake news” posing as “mainstream” media. The truth was plain to see. In an official press release put out by the World Government Summit, the organizers said the event ended with “a plea for institutions to realign with the new world order.” And the speakers made that clear, too. Among those quoted in the press release, one claimed that people's expectations “need governments to develop progressive policies that can accommodate the global transition.” Of course, “new world order” and “progressive policies” are both loaded terms that offer a strong hint about the real agenda of the forces behind the World Government Summit. “Progressive,” for instance, despite having absolutely no intrinsic relationship to progress, has become synonymous with statism, immorality, and corruption. And while the term now has a bad stench in the United States, much of the world remains oblivious to the slick marketing gimmick used to portray tyranny as modern and hip. “New world order” has an even more troubling connotation. For decades, top globalists, including multiple U.S. presidents from both parties, have been openly and loudly demanding what they call a “new world order.” Former President George H.W. Bush defined it as one in which the United Nations would use its military forces to implement the “vision of the UN's founders.” That illustrious group included mass-murdering dictator Joseph Stalin on the Soviet side, and convicted Soviet spy Alger Hiss, who was selected to serve as the first UN secretary-general, on the U.S. side. More recently, billionaire Rothschild protégé and self-styled “god” George Soros has been demanding a “new world order.” He said publicly that the mass-murdering Communist Chinese regime should “own” the new world order in the same way that the United States owned the previous one. Soros also claimed the murderous Chinese regime has a “better functioning government” than the United States. In Beijing, meanwhile, the dictatorship has been loudly and publicly demanding what it, too, calls a “new world order.” World Government Summit Chairman Mohammed Abdullah Al Gergawi, who also serves as “Minister of the Future,” boasted that the summit, now in its sixth year, was a “permanent knowledge platform” for governments. “Through the World Government Summit, we seek to create new models of international cooperation,” he said, touting the agenda of "His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.” The goal is to “prepare for the future within the framework of global efforts to achieve a common goal.” In reality, though, The New American's William F. Jasper explained what is truly going on. “Sheikh Mohammed is merely acting as a front man for the organized one-worlders,” Jasper wrote in a 2017 article about the summit's focus on “happiness” as a governmental responsibility. “This is standard operating procedure at the UN and other international forums: have some small country or group of nations propose the pre-arranged, prepared, global agenda subplots, so it won’t appear that they are originating from the globalists in the United States, EU, and other major powers.” Other elements of the World Government Summit agenda have been alluded to in not-so-subtle ways. Last year, for example, the globalists at the summit made headlines worldwide for gathering under a replica of the infamous “Arch of Baal.” Analysts suggested that the inclusion of the bizarre monument, which once stood in front of a pagan temple to the false god Baal to whom children were often sacrificed, was extremely significant to some of the higher-ranking globalists. It was not immediately clear whether the pagan artifact was at this year's summit. Beyond that, the anti-American tone of the latest confab was noticed by more than a few observers. “This is a very anti-American three-day globalist summit,” reported WND, pointing to various anti-America, anti-Trump rants by celebrities and globalist bigwigs at the summit that made America the "number 1 enemy." Among them was aging celebrity turned man-made-global-warming theorist Robert DeNiro (shown above), who ridiculed his homeland, referring to it as a “backward country, a place where science once reigned and lately has been replaced by ignorance.” Some of the high-profile speakers at the summit and their comments were also a dead giveaway about the agenda. UN World Health Organization (WHO) boss Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, an Ethiopian communist, for example, promoted government control of healthcare under the guise of providing “universal” health. In fact, he claimed that “pursuing” government healthcare “is the responsibility of every country and national government.” For some perspective on what Tedros means by “universal healthcare,” a look at his recent comments and actions is helpful. Consider that last year, the WHO boss became the subject of global criticism and ridicule for trying to appoint genocidal Marxist dictator Robert Mugabe — infamous primarily for mass murder and destroying his once-prosperous nation — as WHO “goodwill ambassador.” According to Tedros, the reason for the honor was the dictator's “strong commitment to health” and how his regime supposedly “places universal health coverage and health promotion at the center of its policies to provide health care to all.” Beyond promoting the government takeover and destruction of healthcare — a key goal of “progressives,” communists, and NWO globalists everywhere — a number of speakers also promoted a radical restructuring of government education to help centrally plan the economy. For instance, Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed, the “Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation” for the United Arab Emirates (UAE), called for “identifying pupils talented in computing at an early age.” New government “education” standards need to begin in “nurseries and preschools,” he said. The Islamic sheikh, advocating an “unprecedented rethink in education,” called for a “new national strategy” that would “meet the requirements and targets of the UAE [government] in both the private and public sectors.” “We need a new system of education that looks into the future, competitiveness and the country’s economic requirements,” he continued, implying that the state would train future workers for future jobs that it believes will be needed. Of course, that is exactly the sort of rhetoric and ideology that animated communist “education” and indoctrination systems of the past, from the Soviet Union and Cuba to China and Cambodia. But in reality, the outlandish idea that central planners could somehow predict what the future economy 20 years from now will require — and then shape “human capital” (children) for it — has been thoroughly debunked. Unfortunately, globalists around the world — at the UN, and even in the U.S. Department of Education — apparently never got the memo. Almost 90 percent of the UAE's workforce is employed by government today, Sheikh Zayed said. In addition to the globalism and statism, the World Government Summit also promoted agendas that almost sound too fringe and outlandish to believe. Consider, for instance, the prominent role of a man with an antenna sticking out of his head touted as the world's first “cyborgist,” Neil Harbisson. With gender confusion all the rage, and being legitimized by “progressive” governments and pushed by the UN, Harbisson argued that governments must now accept that some people will identify as cyborgs and will become “part-technology, part-human.” “I have an antenna that is implanted inside my head, which allows me to extend my perception of reality beyond the visual spectrum,” said Harbisson, co-founder of the Cyborg Society and the Transpecies Society which fight for people who “identify” as non-human. I can sense infrared and ultraviolet, and I also have an internet connection in my head that allows me to receive colors from other parts of the world, or connect to satellites so I can send colors from space.” Another key plank of the summit was the promotion of “Artificial Intelligence.” Unsurprisingly, the UN and the globalist establishment have already announced their intention to hijack AI technology to advance their totalitarian vision for the future, summarized neatly in the UN Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. And already, robots programmed to regurgitate globalist talking points and praise for the UN have been paraded in front of the world as paragons of wisdom and virtue. And this is probably only the beginning. The World Government confab received almost no coverage in establishment media outlets in the United States, despite the attendance and support of multiple prominent “journalists” and media organs. But lest the summit be dismissed as a fringe gathering of irrelevant kooks, a brief look at the 130 speakers reveals strong establishment support for the World Government agenda. Indeed, among the summit speakers was a virtual who's who of the globalist establishment and its leading shills and useful idiots. The list included World Bank President Jim Kim; World Economic Forum (WEF) boss Klaus Schwab; International Monetary Fund (IMF) boss Christine Lagarde; UN Educational, Cultural, and Scientific chief Audrey Azoulay, a well-known socialist; World Trade Organization boss Roberto Azevedo; former Obama regulatory czar and fringe totalitarian Cass Sunstein, who infamously called for a ban on conspiracy theories; far-left Huffington Post founder Arianna Huffington; executives from Google and Facebook; pseudo-journalists and globalist propagandists such as Kenneth Cukier of The Economist and Becky Anderson of CNN; OECD boss Angel Gurria; a Chinese Communist agent serving as UN under-secretary general; education ministers, bureaucrats, CEOs, and more. With the globalist movement increasingly dropping the mask, and the Internet making it easy to spread information, Americans have an unprecedented opportunity to derail the global-government agenda on display at the summit. Exposing globalist bigwigs using their own words and deeds is a crucial way to help. But America and liberty are in a race against time — the globalists have been hard at work for decades, while Americans slept. If the sleeping giant that is the American public wakes up, all the schemes for “world government” in the world could be easily crushed. But getting involved now in preserving and protecting liberty, self-government, and the U.S. Constitution is crucial.

Billy Graham—Man of Faith, Man of God

By Hal Lindsey

Billy Graham outlived much of his fame. Young people today have no idea the level of influence and celebrity he held for most of his life. By the end of 2016, even though he hadn’t preached at a crusade in years, he was again on Gallup’s annual list of “the 10 most admired men in the world.” It was his 60th appearance on that list! His crusades were a phenomenon everywhere they were held. They filled stadiums and other large arenas. In the 1960s and 70s young evangelical preachers from every region in the country seemed to add a slight North Carolina twang to their speaking. The rhythm of his speech, his movement behind the pulpit, his gestures, and his cadence served as a pattern for a generation of young ministers. It still amazes me that he was also a personal friend. When I was with Campus Crusade for Christ, I invited Billy to come and minister at UCLA. By that time, he had already been one of the most famous men in the world for a couple of decades. His crusades already filled stadiums. But when I asked, he came. For Billy, it was never about money or prestige. It was always about human beings and where they would spend eternity. On a couple of occasions, I was privileged to spend time with Billy at his North Carolina home. Though the whole world seemed to be clamoring for a piece of him, he was always generous with his time and wisdom. But his influence on me went far beyond my personal contact with him. Like millions of others, I watched his crusades on television. I heard the powerful messages from God’s word. I saw the thousands streaming forward at the end of every such event. I’m still moved every time I think about it. In his crusades, he spoke passionately about the signs of the times, and the soon return of Jesus. His preaching helped pave the way for my book, The Late Great Planet Earth. Critics said his sermons were too simplistic. In its obituary, the New York Times wrote, “Some mainline Protestant leaders and theologians accused him of preaching a simplistic message of personal salvation that ignored the complexities of societal problems.” But from long experience with pen and paper, as well as standing behind pulpits, I can tell you that keeping it simple is not easy. In fact, it’s easier to be longwinded and overly complicated. Billy Graham preached the way Abraham Lincoln wrote. He could say more in a few minutes than most could say in a couple of hours. The point of his sermons was never to amaze people with his intelligence or grasp of issues. It was always about Jesus. It was about speaking the Gospel to his generation. 1 Corinthians 2:1-2 explains Billy’s approach. “And when I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God. For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.” (NASB) Instead of “superiority of speech,” the New Living Translation says, “lofty words.” That’s an accurate translation and much more applicable. Billy was known for the excellence of his speaking. But he rarely used “lofty words.” In fact, his speech was made more excellent by the fact that he kept “lofty words” to a minimum. Billy spoke, not to impress, but to be understood. He was a communicator of the highest level. And he preached in person to more people than anyone else in the history of the world. He preached in remote villages and great metropolises. He preached from a heart of love. Billy Graham changed the world for the better. But he didn’t just change the world. Through him, God changed eternity — one decision at a time.

To Push Iran Back, Israel Ramps Up Support for Syrian Rebels, 'Arming 7 Different Groups'

With the Assad regime's advances the civil war and America's reduced involvement in the region, Israel has been forced to make significant changes in its policies in the Golan Heights

Amos Harel Feb 21, 2018 2:10 PM

The recent tensions along the Israeli-Syrian border have been mainly aerial. But due to developments in the Syrian civil war, real changes are also taking place on the ground in the Golan Heights. To really understand Israel and the Middle East - subscribe to Haaretz The Assad regime, which has gained the upper hand in the war, is now focusing on aggressively attacking rebel enclaves east of Damascus and in the northern Idlib province. But it is also gradually bolstering its presence in southern Syria, including in the Syrian Golan Heights. And accordingly, Israel is altering its deployment to prepare for what’s to come. The de-escalation agreement for southern Syria, which the United States, Russia and Jordan signed last November, included a promise to keep Iran and its affiliated Shi’ite militias away from the Israeli border. Israel wanted the Iranians and their agents to be kept almost 60 kilometers from the frontier, east of the Damascus-Daraa road. But it didn’t get its wish; the agreement committed to keep them only 5 kilometers from the front lines between the regime and the rebels. What this means in practice is that the Iranians are allowed to come to within 20 kilometers of Israel’s border in the central Syrian Golan and within just 5 kilometers in the northern Syrian Golan, which is controlled by Assad’s army. But it’s safe to assume that Hezbollah operatives and even members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards sometimes come right up to the border. The Assad regime has posts overlooking the Israeli border near Quneitra in the northern Golan, and it’s possible that senior Hezbollah operatives and Iranian representatives visit these posts, which are quite close to Israeli territory. That isn’t the only important development in recent months. About a month ago, the regime retook the enclave of Beit Jin in the northern Golan from Sunni rebels; it’s located less than 15 kilometers from the Israeli border. Israel Defense Forces officers believe that sooner or later, Assad will make an effort to regain control of the rest of the Syrian Golan, in part because of the symbolic importance of sovereignty over the border with Israel. Members of the security cabinet, who toured the Golan with senior IDF officers almost two weeks ago, think the same. Analyst Elizabeth Tsurkov, who has followed events in Syria closely for the last several years and has interviewed many rebel militiamen and residents of the Syrian Golan, published a detailed survey of developments in southern Syria in the War on the Rocks blog last week. Tsurkov said the scope of Israel’s involvement in southern Syria has changed in recent months in response to the regime’s successes in the civil war and Iran’s consolidation in Syria. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warns about the latter on every possible occasion and has repeatedly said Israel will work to thwart it. According to foreign media reports, over the past few months Israel has begun carrying out airstrikes against Syrian army facilities and targets linked to Iran and its Shi’ite militias, in addition to its longstanding targeting of convoys carrying arms to Hezbollah. Tsurkov also reported on other developments taking place. Dozens of rebels who spoke with Tsurkov described a significant change in the amount of aid they receive from Israel. Moreover, she said at least seven Sunni rebel organizations in the Syrian Golan are now getting arms and ammunition from Israel, along with money to buy additional armaments. This change has taken place at a time when America has greatly reduced its involvement in southern Syria. In January, the Trump administration closed the operations center the CIA ran in Amman, the Jordanian capital, which coordinated aid to rebel organizations in southern Syria. As a result, tens of thousands of rebels who received regular economic support from the U.S. have been bereft of this support. At the same time, Israel has also increased its civilian aid to villages controlled by the rebels, including supplying medicine, food and clothing. Last summer, Israel admitted for the first time that it provides civilian aid to villages in the Syrian Golan, but declined to confirm claims that it also provides military aid. Tsurkov said these Israeli moves are intended to help block the Assad regime’s advance in the Golan and its conquest of rebel-held villages near the Israeli border. Nevertheless, she wrote, there’s an expectations gap between the two sides. The rebels expect unlimited Israeli support, and some are even hoping for help in their efforts to topple the regime. Israel’s plans are much more modest, and are intended as a holding action. Relatively moderate Sunni rebels, whom the Israeli defense establishment terms “the locals,” control most of the Syrian-Israeli border, aside from two areas – a regime-controlled area in the northern Golan and a section of the southern Golan controlled by a branch of the Islamic State, Jaysh Khalid ibn al-Walid. According to Tsurkov, Israel is also helping the rebels in their war against the Islamic State. There have been skirmishes between ISIS and other rebel organizations over the last several years, but these battles have produced no significant change in the forces’ deployment. However, rebels told Tsurkov that Israel has recently begun helping them by launching drone strikes and antitank missiles at Islamic State positions during these battles.

For it is a very dark hour as you have seen and that hour shall grow darker and darker and darker, for the evil spirits possessing people shall manifest themselves, and as they manifest themselves, you shall see death, you shall see killings, you shall see blood flowing, you shall see many things, many things. Think it not strange, but it is that hour and it is that time and no one seems to be binding up those spirits, nobody seems to be casting them out, nobody understands them. For the world tells you that you are bipolar, no you are demon possessed, saith your Father God. etc..

Trump Touts Concealed Carry for Schools, Urges End to 'Gun-Free' Zones

By Todd Beamon | Wednesday, 21 Feb 2018 07:19 PM

Read Full Article Here Trump Touts Concealed Carry for Schools, Urges End to 'Gun-Free' Zones | Newsmax.com

President Donald Trump on Wednesday called for concealed carry laws for teachers and ending gun-free school zones that triggered a strong debate within the audience at a White House listening session. "A teacher would have a concealed gun on them," Trump told more than 40 people in the State Dining Room. "They would go for special training. "They would be there — and you would no longer have a gun-free zone. "A gun-free zone to a maniac is, 'Let's go in and let's attack' — because bullets aren't coming back at us." Trump noted that, on average, a school shooting lasts about 3 minutes, with first responders generally arriving within as long as 8 minutes. "If you had a teacher who was adept with the firearm, they could end the attack very quickly," the president said. "Let's say you had 20 percent of your teaching force" with concealed guns, he posed, "and an attack has lasted on average about 3 minutes. "It takes 5 to 8 minutes for responders for the police to come in. So the attack is over." The White House session brought together students, parents, administrators, local officials and Cabinet members. Many participants were affected by the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, as well as shootings at Columbine High School in Colorado and Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. Several students who have experienced gun violence in the Washington region also participated. Vice President Mike Pence and Education Secretary Betsy DeVos also attended the session. "We want to hear your hearts today," Pence said. "I encourage you to be candid and be vulnerable, share with us not only the personal experience, but what it is that you would have us to do." DeVos said that "we're here to listen, to gain your important perspective on ways to reduce violence and to protect students. "Our hope is that by talking and by listening, we can make something that was unthinkably bad something good." President Trump also called for stronger background checks and greater mental-health counseling. "Background checks will be very strong," Trump said. "We need that. "And, then, after we do that, when we see there is trouble, we have no nab them." Generally, the president sat quietly, listening as many recounted their experiences — often in quavering voices and anguished tones. "I was lucky enough to come home from school," Julia Cordover, 18, Stoneman's senior class president, told Trump. "Unlike some of my other classmates and teachers. "It's very scary—and knowing that a lot of people did not have this opportunity to be here still is mind-blowing." Samuel Zeif, 18, another Stoneman senior, said that he was on the second floor when the shooting began and that his 14-year-old brother was in the classroom where geography teacher Scott Beigel was killed. "I can't feel comfortable in my country knowing that people have, will have, ever going to have to feel like this. "I want to feel safe at school." One parent, Andrew Pollack, whose 18-year-old daughter, Meadow, was shot nine times at Stoneman, said that "we, as a country, failed our children. "This shouldn't happen. "We need to come together as a country and work on what is important," he said. "That is protecting our children in the schools. "That is the only thing that matters right now." President Trump acknowledged the comments, but his call for concealed carry and ending gun-free zones sparked a strong debate within the room. "I don't want the kids to know," Fred Abt, whose daughter, Carson, 17, is a Stoneman junior who survived the attack. "I don't want the shooters to know who has the firearms. "I don't want to have people walking around with firearms on the side. "But when they put the kids in the closets, I want the teacher to open that safe, pull out that firearm and be ready to do what needs to be done while you are waiting for the SWAT teams to come." Andrew Pollack Jr., Meadow's brother, who graduated from Stoneman in 2015, suggested enlisting retired police officers for "discreet" weapons training with teachers. "If a teacher or security guard has a concealed license, and a firearm on their waist, they are able to easily stop the situation," he said. "Or, the bad guy would not even go near the school knowing, that someone can fight back against them." But Curtis Lawrence, principal of Friendship Public Charter School in Washington, countered that "I'm against having a teacher with a gun in a building. "Teachers are emotional," he said. "People are emotional." Mark Barden, whose 7-year-old son was killed at Sandy Hook in 2012, said that "schoolteachers have more than enough responsibilities right now than to have to have the awesome responsibility of using lethal force to take a life." His comments drew applause in the room. "Nobody wants to see a shoot-out in school," he said. "A deranged sociopath on his way to commit an act of murder in a school, knowing the outcome is going to be suicide, is not going to care if there is somebody there with a gun."

People Will Scoff About the End Times the Bible Warns

Many churches today don't preach about Jesus' return.

By Howard Green | Wed 21 Feb 2018 13:43 EST

On March 27th of 1980, there was a small eruption of Mt. St. Helens in Washington state. The volcano rumbled awake after a one hundred year sleep. In the weeks to follow, a series of small earthquakes warned of the danger building below the surface of the beautiful mountain. Federal and local government officials alerted the public to the growing threat and said a large-scale eruption was imminent. Many tourists, backpackers, campers and local residents heeded the warnings and complied with evacuation orders. There were dozens of others who decided to ignore and even scoff at the warnings about the growing danger and chose to stay in harm's way. On May 18th, 1980 at 8:32 am. Mt. St. Helens erupted ferociously, sending a pyroclastic blast and a wall of super-heated gas and ash racing down the sides of the mountain at over 300 mph. In the wake of the volcano's fury, 57 people lost their lives because they either ignored or scoffed at the warnings of impending danger. The Bible tells us about a time when scoffers will mock people who warn others about coming of the Lord. Take note that the Bible zeroes in on a particular time in history. Peter tells us these people will be around in the last days. Another key aspect of these people is the fact that they are following their own sinful desires. The Bible tells us that these people will mockingly ask, "Where is the promise of his coming?" I've observed many non-Christians mock the notion of God's coming judgment and Jesus' soon return. People on television, radio and social media scoff at the idea that Jesus is coming again. My heart goes out to these people because they are not the enemy, satan is and he wants to keep them blinded. Knowing the stakes are eternal, we must tell them about God's holiness, coming judgment and redemption through Jesus. The fact that the secular world scoffs at the notion of Jesus' soon return shouldn't be a surprise. What is shocking is the number of supposed Christians who are scoffing about it. End Time Bible prophecy is like an elephant in the evangelical living room because so many of today's well-known leaders either choose to ignore it altogether or in some cases, they have become the very scoffers the apostle Peter warns us about. Ask yourself the following questions: When was the last time you heard a sermon on Bible prophecy? When was the last time your small group discussed the end times? Can you remember the last time your church invited a guest speaker to teach on an End Time subject? I'm guessing many of you feel the same as I do. I have noticed a steady departure from teaching end time Bible prophecy in most evangelical churches today. This is sad and unbelievable in light of the fact that the four gospels, the epistles and the Old Testament are brimming with chapters that are heavily eschatological. If a pastor or a Bible teacher you listen to is ignoring this subject, chances are high they are doctrinally flawed in other areas. Ignoring or scoffing at Bible prophecy should be a red flag and I would advise you go elsewhere for biblical instruction and find a godly shepherd who teaches the whole Bible. When I became a Christian in the mid-1980's, there was a great deal of interest in Bible prophecy. Books about the End Times were everywhere and many preachers spoke about it with regularity. Here we are decades later but interest and teaching on end time Bible prophecy are at an all-time low. Today's Christian bookstores are chock full of life enhancement books that focus on self-esteem instead of God esteem. The most popular Christian teachers focus on the emotions and felt needs of people instead of challenging them to Christ-likeness in light of His soon return. The gospels are replete with Jesus' warnings and encouragement as He tells us to be alert, to endure to the end and tells us to make disciples. End Time Bible prophecy is paramount in evangelism because people in the world want to know what the future holds. Bible prophecy is critical in discipleship because it exhorts us to good works, personal holiness and finishing well. As we think about Peter's warning of scoffers coming in the last days, we must understand personal holiness at the center of the issue. Where Bible prophecy is ignored, holiness is diminished. This is important to understand because Peter ties the understanding of end time Bible prophecy closely together with godly living in the last days. The fact that so many well-known leaders choose to ignore or scoff at End Time teaching is indicative of the last days' spiritual deception and blindness Peter's warned us about. The National Hurricane Center warns people of an approaching storm, in the same way, the US. Geological Survey alerts people of increasing seismic activity and probable volcanic eruptions. The end result is that many people will heed the warnings and prepare accordingly. If you could go back in time to the day before Mt. St. Helens erupted violently or the day before Hurricane Katrina struck, wouldn't you lovingly warn people with every bit of strength you have despite what the scoffers say? Christians should be warning the world of the approaching storm of God's judgment and tell them about the hope that Jesus offers.

Gab TV broadcast the reports they are getting by the thousands of people locked out. Twitter seems to be labeling Trump supporters "Russian bots" and banning them until they provide confidential information most people don't want Twitter to have. This is not unexpected. We have been reporting on Twitter tomfoolery for quite a while now and have been waiting for the main purge to begin. This looks like the big one. In order to get back into their accounts, Twitter is requiring a phone number to be attached to the account. Gab TV thinks it could be a data grab. At the same time, Twitter is having a scandal at Periscope involving minors being groomed by pedophiles and talked into doing sexual acts online for adults. Critics say Twitter hasn't done much to stop it. The Daily Mail reported on it back in December: In a video shown to The Sunday Express, a girl aged around seven or eight is seen sitting in her living room, with her mother just metres away, while paedophiles post sexual requests. Speaking to the paper, Shaun Stockdale, 34, from Hull, said he noticed a large number of users clicking onto the video and was disturbed by the comments being posted underneath. 'It became clear pretty soon that these were not children her own age, they were grown men – paedophiles – exploiting her for their own gratification. Periscope and Twitter are aware of these issues but it was still going on as of last week when I reported two videos that were brought to my attention showing minor girls being harassed and groomed by sickos. The same thing happened to #MeToo during a live stream and I was unable to block the harasser. I had this exchange with Periscope support after that happened.

Behold! 1991 Book Warned Us 'Secret Government' Would Use School Shootings To Disarm Americans! Was Florida School Shooter 'MK-Ultra-Cated'?

'As The World Turns, This Is Bigger Than Anyone Can Imagine'

February 17, 2018 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

All the way back in 1991, former US Navy Intelligence Briefing Team member Milton William Cooper wrote a book titled "Behold A Pale Horse" within which he reveals a wealth of great information long hidden from the public eye, some dating all the way back to the 1940's. Elaborating upon the assassination of John F. Kennedy, UFO's and 'the secret government', on page 225 of his book, Cooper dropped the following bombshell paragraph that should be looked at much more deeply in light of what recently happened in Florida.: The government encouraged the manufacture and importation of military firearms for the criminals to use. This is intended to foster a feeling of insecurity, which would lead the American people to voluntarily disarm themselves by passing laws against firearms. Using drugs and hypnosis on mental patients in a process called Orion, the CIA inculcated the desire in these people to open fire on schoolyards and thus inflame the antigun lobby. This plan is well under way, and so far is working perfectly. The middle class is begging the government to do away with the 2nd amendment. With the 'secret government' that Cooper warned of long ago now confirmed, it's time to take another look at that shocking paragraph, particularly in light of new revelations coming out about the 'event' in Florida which ANP and other independent news websites have warned was likely coming as the globalists seek to continue their 'take down of America'. 1991_behold.png While most of the mainstream media would happily call MKUltra a 'conspiracy theory' (despite the fact that a United States Senate hearing from August 3rd of 1977 documents Project MKUltra, the CIA's program of research in behavioral modification, as you can see for yourself in the Scribd document we've embedded at the bottom of this story), it was quickly noticed by several ANP readers that Florida gunman Nikolas Cruz was the possible perfect 'MKUltra patsy' and has even admitted to allegedly hearing voices in his head. Claiming that 'demon voices' told him how to pull off the recent school shooting in Florida, was Cruz 'MK-Ultra-cated' (credit Steve Quayle), molded into an assassin 'programmed' to do the dirty work of globalists who are not only trying to disarm the American people but 'redirect' the news cycle that had recently been absolutely brutal to them? Before you go and discount such a sinister possibility as 'school shooters' being 'programmed', we'd be wise to take a look back at the mental status of mass shooters throughout history as well the 1977 US Senate hearing document and specifically the lines on pages 167 and 168 in which we're told of different methods with which an individual can be 'controlled' without their knowledge or consent via 'trauma based mind control' techniques, some even involving the use of different 'frequencies'. Does the programming of an assassin via cell phone frequency signal come to mind? More on that below. As the NY Post reported back on July 23rd of 2016, the 'Jason Bourne' movie series tells the Hollywood tale of one MK-ultra-cated 'super hero/bad guy', trained by the CIA to be the ultimate assassin though due to the amnesia he suffers from throughout the series, he can't remember all of the terrible things that he had done. From the NY Post story which references the 1977 Senate report we've embedded at the bottom of this story.: And while “Jason Bourne” includes several ripped-from-the-headlines details — austerity protests in Greece, a battle over cyberprivacy — Bourne’s memory loss seems more like the stuff of fiction. But it’s actually based on fact. The CIA experimented extensively with brainwashing during the 1950s and 1960s, honing techniques that could force someone to kill, then have no recollection afterward. Code-named MKUltra, the program involved some 149 separate experiments — many on unwitting Americans, including a Kentucky mental patient who was dosed with LSD for 179 days straight. MKUltra was officially launched in 1953 to develop better interrogation techniques, as well as to explore the possibility of creating a programmable assassin. The CIA also wondered if it would be possible to mind-control hostile foreign leaders, such as Fidel Castro. Some 44 universities, 12 hospitals and three prisons helped out with the experiments, though many were apparently not aware they were working for the CIA. The spy agency sometimes funded the work through anonymous grants that the organizations believed were from private individuals. The institutions that did know “acted in good faith and with the belief they were aiding their government,” per a 1977 Senate report.  RELATED stories on ANP: How Satanism And Mind Control Makes Its Way Into Your Homes! Monarch Mind Control To Hollywood Sex Slaves... This Will Blow You Away From Nazi Germany To The CIA To Disney, A Deeper Look At How MKUltra And Monarch Mind Control Turned Hollywood Into 'Cannibalistic Helly-wood disarm_Americans_agenda.png While we know that it's no coincidence that liberals immediately jumped lock-step upon the 'gun control' bandwagon before the smoke had even cleared the air in Florida, as Susan Duclos asks today on ANP, what's going on in America and the world that this school shooting has 'conveniently eclipsed' from the rapidly changing news cycles? Pointing out within her story that Robert Mueller's Russian collusion investigation had found no collusion with any American and Russian meddling didn't affect the outcome of the election, will the focus of Americans soon get back to where it needs to be, upon the 'real collusion' between Hillary Clinton, the DOJ and the FBI to fix the election and get her into the White House? If nothing else, this has all proven Cooper right on the 'secret government', so why wouldn't he be correct on mind-controlled school shooters?  With the Florida shooting also once again firing up the debate about gun-free zones with every such zone putting a target upon the backs of those who choose to enter them, leaving those who choose to do bad things the free reign to carry out their terror, we also find it deeply concerning that far left groups are now calling upon Republicans to be murdered as 'revenge' for the shootings while Cruz's family gives us another sign that Cruz might have been the perfect 'target' for sinister mind control with their admission that he was autistic and may have been on psychological medications. As we hear in the final video below featuring investigative journalist Jerome Corsi, Cruz may have been the perfect patsy, someone who could have been easily programmable with trauma-based mind-control techniques that are documented to have gone all the way back to the 1950's, due to his underlying psychological problems. And while ANP has still not been able to verify the legitimacy of 'QAnon' as being someone within the administration of President Trump, we find it interesting that soon after the shooting, Q referenced MKUltra several times in his posts, asking that Americans dive into the 1977 US Senate document while telling us "this is bigger than anyone can imagine". And whether or not you believe that 'Q' is a legitimate source of information or a major troll, we find it interesting that according to this February 1st story over at 'globalist gatekeeper' Newsweek, 'the Storm' has so far been the 'biggest fake news story of 2018'. Reporting in the first paragraph of their story that 'wild conspiracy theories have a way of seeping into public discourse these days' and websites such as Infowars actively promote them without any fact-checking or oversight, the Newsweek story's 2nd paragraph is only two words: "Enter 'Q'". newsweek_gaff.png While the same Newsweek happily jumped on the 'shooter was a white supremacist' bandwagon that many liberal outlets jumped on without doing their fact checking, as even Mother Jones recently reported, there is no known connection between Cruz and white supremacists. So why did Newsweek jump the gun? And are they now 'gatekeeping' 'QAnon'? Reporting that 'Q' had suddenly appeared on the internet back in late October of 2017 and had quickly embraced #TheStorm hashtag that has been associated with him, their story also points out that it was President Trump himself who started 'TheStorm' meme that has gone viral when back on October 5th of 2017, while surrounded by military leaders, President Trump stated the following: While speaking to his press pool and surrounded by military leaders for a photo-op, President Trump made cryptic remarks that have never been fully explained by the White House. “Maybe it's the calm before the storm,” he said to the gaggle of reporters. “Could be. The calm before the storm. We have the world's great military people in this room, I will tell you that. And we're going to have a great evening. Thank you all for coming.” A reporter requested clarification about what Trump said: “What storm, Mr. President?” “You'll find out. Thank you, everybody,” the president said. Was Nikolas Cruz an unwilling victim of CIA trauma based mind control? As was hinted at by 'Q' in the post seen screenshot above, 'big pharma' is essential (to help program the patsy) and as we're urged to think about Google and Apple's new phones we have to ask, are CIA's programmed assassins being programmed via the cell phone? Let's take a look once again at the 1977 US Senate document within which, on page 168 were told of some of the methods used to inflict trauma based mind control including the following excerpts: 10.6 Let us now consider the possibilities of exciting the resonance cavitation directly without impact. There is considerable evidence that resonance cavitation can be induced directly in the following ways: a. blast wave propagated in air. (Blast Concussion) b. Physical excitation with a mechanical driver or horn, tuned to the resonant frequency of the head. In the first video below we hear from the 5th Estate how the CIA's MKUltra program terrorized 100's of Canadians back in the 1950's and 1960's while the 2nd video is a must hear - William Cooper himself in his lecture 'Behold A Pale Horse'.

Is a massive earthquake on the way? Ring of Fire activity sparks fears of a 'big one' after scientists warn tremor clusters make a killer quake more likely

Near the end of January, a slew of Ring of Fire activity took place in many places

At the time, the UN tweeted that the Pacific Ring of Fire was 'active'

This month, a new set of earthquakes took place near Guam, Taiwan and Japan

A study suggests that certain earthquakes can result in aftershock activity on the margins of the area that slipped, producing a 'halo of aftershocks'

By Cecile Borkhataria For Mailonline Published: 10:44 EST, 16 February 2018 | Updated: 13:24 EST, 16 February 2018

Earthquake activity has returned to the Pacific Ring of Fire, and now a new study has backed up fears that a huge tremor is on the way. Over the past few weeks, quakes have hit near Japan, Guam and Taiwan around the planet's so-called 'Ring of Fire' - a horseshoe-shaped geological disaster zone. New research in California says aftershocks can occur on the margins of the area in which the quake took place following a cluster of tremors. There may also be the possibility of a 'big one' in the immediate area, according to the researchers. The study, published in in the journal Science Advances, involved an analysis of 101 major earthquakes around the Pacific Ring of Fire between 1990 and 2016. It showed that most of the aftershock activity occurred on the margins of the areas where the faults slipped during the main earthquakes. Most earthquakes occur when tectonic plates meet and slide against each other, and quakes occur when the strength of that movement is greater than the strength of the rocks, causing a failure at what is known as the fault line: a line on a rock surface or the ground. This energy is released as shock waves that lead to an earthquake.

Active volcano spits ASH AND SMOKE as 7.5 earthquake rocks Mexico

ASH and smoke has been seen coming from an active volcano after Mexico was shaken by a huge 7.5 earthquake.

By Jamie Micklethwaite / Published 17th February 2018

Seismic alarms went off in Mexico City as the huge quake shook buildings. As the quake shook Mexico, Volcano Popocatépetl spat ash and smoke into the air. Experts reported increased activity at the volcano minutes after the earthquake hit. Around 270 people died last year when an 8.1 earthquake laid waste to Mexico City. This triggered an eruption at the volcano, killing 15 more. Interior Minister Alfonso Navarrete said Friday's quake caused some superficial damage to buildings in Oaxaca, but no deaths had been reported. Images appeared to show bricks and rubble fallen from buildings, and products tumbling off shelves in a supermarket. In Mexico City, tall buildings swayed for more than a minute as seismic alarms sounded, with older structures in the chic Condesa neighborhood knocking into each other, and some cracks appearing in plaster and paintwork. Two young men standing by a building that collapsed during the last quake were still hugging minutes after the tremor. People crowded in the streets, one lady in her pajamas. Trees, overhead cables and cars swayed, and a fire truck raced down the street.

UN “Sex Education” Standards Push LGBT Agenda on 5-Year-Olds

Tuesday, 13 February 2018 Written by Alex Newman

In yet another bid by the United Nations to sexualize and indoctrinate your children at younger and younger ages, the UN Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization (UNESCO) just unveiled a new set of “Comprehensive Sexuality Education” standards for humanity. Among other controversies, the UN's planetary sex-ed scheme advocates masturbation, abortion, gender confusion, homosexuality, homosexual parenting, contraception, fornication, and more. The document, which cites abortion giant Planned Parenthood almost 20 times, represents a full-blown assault on parental rights and traditional morality that critics say could devastate a generation of young people. But the UN wants it to be mandatory for every child on the planet, starting at age five. The UN document, dubbed “International technical guidance on sexuality education,” purports to provide an “evidence-based approach” to teaching young children all about sex, homosexuality, gender confusion, and more. But as the document itself makes clear, much of the “evidence” comes from extremist organizations that promote abortion, sexual “liberation,” fornication, and more. Planned Parenthood, for instance, provided much of the alleged “research” and “evidence.” That is despite the fact that the tax-subsidized abortion behemoth and the UN have been exposed in the U.S. Congress helping the Communist Chinese regime with its coercive population-control schemes, including forced abortions. Another outfit involved in the UN scheme was the rabid LGBT advocacy group OutRight Action International. While self-styled, scandal-plagued UN education ministry UNESCO played a lead role in developing the controversial new sex-ed scheme, it was hardly alone. In fact, the new global “Comprehensive Sexuality Education” guidelines are also being publicly supported by UNICEF, the UN agency ostensibly in charge of “protecting” the world’s children; UNAIDS, which supposedly exists to protect humanity from sexually transmitted diseases; UN Women, the radical pro-abortion outfit supposedly leading the global fight for “women's rights;” and even the World Health Organization, an extreme organization whose leaders are so out of touch that they recently tried to name a genocidal Marxist dictator as “goodwill ambassador” due to his alleged success in providing “universal healthcare” to the victims of his barbarous tyranny. The document itself would be considered shocking to anyone who adheres to traditional notions of family or morality, whether they be Christian, Jewish, Muslim, or virtually any other religion. For instance, the document promotes “sexual pleasure” for children, beginning before they even turn 10. At age nine, for instance, the UNESCO guidelines call for children to “describe male and female responses to sexual stimulation.” Also at age nine, children are taught that masturbation is fine but should be done in private. The standards brazenly encourage fornication (sexual relations outside of marriage) among children, too, painting traditional morality as old-fashioned and wrong. By age nine, the standards say children should “demonstrate respect for diverse practices related to sexuality.” And by 12, the children are expected to believe that various forms of sodomy are “pleasurable” and less likely to result in infection. They are also to be taught about condom use. Indeed, the UN document, which distorts abstinence education, is filled with the sexual-revolution ideology that has helped devastate families across the Western world. By age 12, the UN “learning objectives” demand that children “support the right for everyone” to “express their sexual feelings.” And by “sexual feelings,” the UN refers to complete hedonism, with sex being totally divorced from morality. Throughout the manual, which UNESCO hopes will be used to indoctrinate every child on the planet, it is clear that the UN wants everyone to support the so-called “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex” (LGBTQI) agenda. In fact, the document is filled with references to waging war on “homophobia” and “transphobia,” terms that are routinely applied to describe opposition to the redefinition — or undefinition — of marriage that began in recent years and culminated with a rogue Supreme Court lawlessly pretending to create a “right” to something called a homosexual “marriage.” The document gets worse. When children are nine, for instance, they should be able to “explain how someone's gender identity may not match their biological sex.” At that same age, they must also “demonstrate respect for the gender identity of others.” In other words, even before they reach age 10, they must not only accept, but “respect,” gender confusion that is strongly correlated with mental distress, suicide, and more. At age five, the children are expected to be able to “define gender and biological sex and describe how they are different.” They are also expected to “express respect” for homosexual parenting. “All people should be able to love who they want,” the UNESCO document explains, a clear reference to normalizing and promoting homosexual relations. The UN sex-ed manual also indoctrinates children to fight against “discrimination” based on “gender identity or sexual orientation.” This is the same mantra that has been used to jail Christian pastors in Western Europe who quote the Bible on homosexuality or gender, and to destroy the lives of American business owners who decline to celebrate homosexual “marriages” by baking cakes or providing floral arrangements. The children are also taught to question and even reject their parents' values and beliefs on sex and marriage, with children told that they should “acknowledge” that their values may be “different” from their parents or guardians. And, unsurprisingly considering the UN's views and its reliance on rabid abortionists for “evidence” and “research,” the slaughtering of unborn children in the womb is portrayed as a “right” of women and girls. The unalienable right to life of the babies is nowhere mentioned in the UN document. In a section on how to deal with outraged parents or communities that object to the sexualization of their innocent young children in government schools, UNESCO has talking points for everything that might be said by critics. For instance, in a section about how Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) deprives children of their innocence, UN CSE promoters are told to respond that: “Sexuality education is about more than sex — it includes information about the body, puberty, relationships, life skills, etc.” And they are not kidding. According to the document, the UN's CSE scheme encompasses “emotions, self-management (e.g. of hygiene, emotions, behaviour), social awareness (e.g. empathy), relationship skills (e.g. positive relationships, dealing with conflicts) and responsible decision-making (e.g. constructive and ethical choices).” Even the children's attitudes will be measured and tracked, to ensure that every child is coming away with the attitudes the UN — not parents — want them to have. “CSE includes a number of attitudinal and skills-based learning outcomes,” the document says. It notes, too, that the “learning” of these UN-approved attitudes on sex, abortion, homosexuality, gender confusion, and more is “distributed across a range of school subjects.” Values must change, as well. “It is essential to include a focus on values ... within a comprehensive approach to sexuality education,” the UN says after repeatedly emphasizing that values are subjective. Basically, then, as the document itself makes clear, the UN would like to see that all children's minds will be saturated in school with sexualization across myriad subjects. The goal is to ensure that they achieve the right “attitudinal outcomes” and “values.” The document then goes on to argue that all the sexualization schemes must be delivered “without making judgement on sexual behaviour, sexual orientation, gender identity or health status.” So the UN wants your children to develop UN-approved values on sexuality — more commonly known as “LGBT” values and attitudes — under the guise of teaching that there are no values. Let that sink in. Consider the dictators club's values across a range of issues — abortion, globalism, wealth redistribution, gun control, free speech, LGBT promotion, and more — and whether they line up with yours. But the UN has a response to that, too. When somebody points out that it is the role of parents to teach their children about these topics, not the UN or government schools, UNESCO offers a bold and highly controversial response: “the government should support and complement the role that parents and family play by providing holistic education for all children and young people in a safe and supportive learning environment.” The document then goes on to ridicule and downplay parents' concerns about the sexualization of their young children by the UN and government. “Parents’ objections to CSE programmes in school are often based on fear and lack of information about CSE and its impact,” the UN says, suggesting ignorant parents would approve if they knew how important it was for their five-year-old to support gender confusion and homosexuality. Parents must understand, the UN continues, that they won't be completely cut out of the picture — the UN just wants to enter into a “partnership with parents.” And obviously, in its view, the UN knows best. It was not clear from where the UN and its member governments believe they derive the authority to relegate parents to the status of “partners” in the raising of children. A number of global schemes were cited in the paper. But legal analysts said the UN sex-ed document radically misconstrues existing international agreements — agreements that never would have been approved if member governments had realized they would be used to promote homosexuality to five-year-olds and masturbation to nine-year-olds. UNESCO also said it wants children's introduction to sex to be a “carefully planned process” that starts “from the beginning of formal schooling.” Hence the “learning outcomes” targeting children from age five. It is not enough for students to be indoctrinated into the UN's worldview on all of those issues, though. Teachers must be subjected to a rigorous indoctrination program, too, so that they can transmit the views and values demanded by the UN when it comes to sex and basically everything else. “This training can be included as part of the curriculum of teacher training institutes (pre-service) or as in-service teacher training,” the UNESCO document explains. In a response to the UN's latest CSE guidelines, Family Watch International President Sharon Slater did not hold back. “We have repeatedly warned governments, parents and other stakeholders that comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) is a radical, graphic, sexual-rights, pleasure-based approach to sex education that promotes promiscuity, abortion, and diverse sexual practices and identities to young children,” Slater said in an e-mailed statement. “With this new UNESCO technical guidance publication, we now have additional, conclusive evidence to prove it.” The recently released UNESCO publication, she continued, “clearly reveals the UN’s stealth global agenda to manipulate and sexualize children through comprehensive sexuality education.” As one example, she noted that the document openly promotes “unscientific gender ideology that asks children to identify the difference between biological sex and gender.” It also teaches children “they have a right to sexual relationships,” she added, citing the text. “It even asks 9-year-old children to ´demonstrate respect for diverse practices related to sexuality` and to identify people of ´diverse sexual orientation and gender identity.´” Slater also wondered what purpose the UN could possibly have in asking children to “describe male and female responses to sexual stimulation” or to “summarize key elements of sexual pleasure.” “Parents should be outraged by the content of the UNESCO publication, and UN Member States should demand that the sponsoring UN agencies withdraw their support immediately,” added Slater, whose organization works to defend life, marriage, and the family around the world. Noting the vast array of UN agencies pushing the scheme, Slater highlighted the danger. “This is an all-out frontal assault on the health and innocence of the world’s children from some of the most powerful and well-funded institutions that set the health standards for women and children across the world,” she said. The CSE mantra is a crucial weapon in the war on the family, Slater concluded. “Comprehensive sexuality education is the primary tool used to advance the global abortion and sexual rights agenda and is designed to change the traditional sexual and gender norms of society by changing the worldviews of children,” she explained. For more information on the dangerous agenda, Slater recommended a short documentary video on CSE by Family Watch International posted at WarOnChildren.org. The Trump administration's publicly announced plans to withdraw from UNESCO represent a good start. After all, the organization, which has long been dominated by communists, globalists, and other extremists, has been waging war on America, freedom, morality, and more for generations. As this magazine has documented repeatedly, the UN agency is literally trying to standardize indoctrination under the guise of “education” all across the world — not just on sex, but on everything. Indeed, UNESCO leaders have been openly demanding that government-controlled education force drastic changes in the views, behavior, values, and ethics of children worldwide. However, UNESCO is only part of the problem. As The New American reported last year, the UN appointed an LGBT czar who said that when it comes to brainwashing children to support the agenda, “the younger the better.” Other UN agencies bully governments into submission, too. Even the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights serves to pervert the meaning of rights, turning them into privileges that can be revoked on a whim. In recent years, the UN has also attacked fundamental freedoms ranging from free speech and gun rights to due process and religious liberty. Meanwhile, UN officials have been exposed raping thousands of children around the world with impunity. To deal with the UN threat in a sustainable way, Congress could defund and withdraw from the UN entirely using HR 193, the American Sovereignty Restoration Act. The legislation would sever U.S. ties to the dictators club and evict its headquarters from U.S. soil. The measure may not protect all the world's children from harmful indoctrination by the dictators club. But if nothing else, it would help shelter American children from the radical ideology being pushed on kids from the global body, while encouraging other nations to reclaim their sovereignty as well.

Florida Valentine’s Day school shooting: anomalies and confessed shooter

Posted on February 16, 2018 by Dr. Eowyn | 43 Comments

On the afternoon of February 14, 2018, Valentine’s Day, America was subjected to another mass school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, metropolitan Miami, Florida. We are told that 17 people were killed and 15 more were taken to hospitals. The alleged perpetrator, 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz, a former student of the high school, was arrested shortly after the shooting and charged with seventeen counts of premeditated murder. He confessed to the shooting, according to the Broward County Sheriff’s Office. (Wikipedia) Anomalies Almost immediately, the Alternative Media took note of certain anomalies — things that don’t fit the official narrative, and are signatures of false-flag mass trauma incidents: (1) As with past false-flag incidents (2013 Boston Marathon bombings), the Valentine’s Day shooting coincided with a drill. Independent investigative journalist Laura Loomer tweeted that 15-year-old student Will Gilroy said students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School were told there would be an active shooter drill at their school this week. “He said that’s why students thought they were participating in a drill when they were evacuating.” (2) As with past false-flag shootings (August 2012 Sikh Temple killing, December 2012 Sandy Hook school massacre, 2016 Orlando gay club shooting), there are eye-witness reports of more than one shooter. Alexa Miednik believes there was another shooter. She said she was walking with accused suspect Nikolas Cruz after she had heard shots being fired, and told Cruz she was glad “it wasn’t him” who was doing the shooting. (3) As in the case of the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting (see “Sandy Hook deception: Associated Press stories & photos predate the massacre”), there were also predated news reports (February 12 & 13) of the Florida Valentine’s Day school shooting of February 14 (source: James Fetzer): (4) As with the Sandy Hook Elementary School (SHES), the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School too will be demolished (Miami Herald) all the better to erase any and all evidence that might point to the shooting being a false-flag incident. Will Parkland also get a multi-million dollar freebie to rebuild Douglas High School into a swanky, state-of-the-art school like the new SHES? Who is Nikolas Cruz? This is what we know about the Nikolas Cruz, who has confessed to the school shooting: (1) The FBI had been warned about Nikolas Cruz: On September 24, 2017, a person who identified himself as Nikolas Cruz wrote a comment on a video of YouTuber Ben Bennight: “I’m going to be a professional school shooter.Bennight, 36, who is a Mississippi bail bondsman, immediately alerted the FBI and emailed the bureau’s Mississippi field office a screenshot of Cruz’s comment. Bennight also flagged the comment to YouTube, which removed it from the video. He said FBI agents responded “immediately”: “They came to my office the next morning and asked me if I knew anything about the person. I didn’t. They took a copy of the screenshot and that was the last I heard from them.” On the day of the shooting after Cruz had been taken into custody, FBI agents visited Bennight and pressed for more information about Cruz. Bennight said he didn’t know who Cruz was, and the agents left. At a press conference the next morning, the FBI confirmed that it had received and looked into a tip about the “professional school shooter” comment on Bennight’s YouTube channel, but could not uncover any details from the account. Special agent Robert Lasky told reporters: “No other information was included in the comment, which would indicate a time, location, or true identity of the person who made the comment. The FBI conducted database reviews, checks, but was unable to further identify the person who made the comment.” (BuzzFeed) (2) Nikolas Cruz has given every sign of being psychologically disturbed and yet nothing was done about it — as in the case of the Orlando gay club shooter — while schools punish boys for chewing a pop tart into the shape of a gun, making a gun sign with their fingers, or playing with a toy-gun in their home, and police even arrested a dad for a drawing of him holding a gun: Cruz was expelled from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School last year for disciplinary reasons. Classmates, relatives, and neighbors describe Cruz as a troubled “loner” who often talked about guns and flaunted his obsession with weapons on his social media accounts. Math teacher Jim Gard told the Miami Herald that Cruz had previously been identified as a potential threat to other students (BuzzFeed) Cruz had been treated in a “mental health” clinic. (Washington Post) (3) Like countless other mass shooters, we are told Nikolas Cruz was on mind-altering, psychiatric medications (Natural News). (4) Cruz told investigators that he heard voices in his head, giving him instructions on what to do to conduct the attack. The law enforcement sources who told ABC News about this described the voices as “demons“. (5) Nikolas Cruz is NOT associated with white supremacist militia: The day after the shooting, the ADL (Anti-Defamation League) claimed that they were told by Jordan Jereb, the leader for the white supremacist paramilitary group Republic of Florida (ROF) that Nikolas Cruz had participated in one or more training drills with his group. However, Leon County law enforcement told the Tallahassee Democrat that they could not find information linking Cruz to the Republic of Florida Militia. Members of the 4chan AltRight discussion forum then admitted that all of the claims were false and were part of an elaborate attempt to troll a network news reporter and other media outlets. (6) On the contrary, what evidence we have points to Nikolas Cruz being a radical leftist and a registered Democrat.

Hungary rejects the UN's position that mass migration has a positive effect

Voice of Europe Fri, 16 Feb 2018 12:00 UTC

Janos Lazar, Hungary's chief of the prime minister's office, said he rejects the UN's position that migration has a positive effect on the economy. Although there's a difference of opinion, the chief of the government office said his country will continue talks with the UN about the current migrant package. According to Lazar the plans to "remove legal or physical barriers and open up borders" are unacceptable. He added that "making migration organised, continuous, and legitimate" is against Hungary's interests. A few weeks ago, Hungary's foreign minister, Péter Szijjártó, mentioned there was a chance his country would walk away from the UN negotiations on migration. He then said: "The principle laid down in the [UN] draft document [that migration has positive effects and cannot be stopped] is false and fabricated.. Migration is dangerous and it can be stopped."

China’s plan to use artificial intelligence to boost the thinking skills of nuclear submarine commanders

Equipping nuclear submarines with AI would give China an upper hand in undersea battles while pushing applications of the technology to a new level

PUBLISHED : Sunday, 04 February, 2018, 9:01pm UPDATED : Tuesday, 06 February, 2018, 11:07am

China is working to update the rugged old computer systems on nuclear submarines with artificial intelligence to enhance the potential thinking skills of commanding officers, a senior scientist involved with the programme told the South China Morning Post. Stephen Chen A submarine with AI-augmented brainpower not only would give China’s large navy an upper hand in battle under the world’s oceans but would push applications of AI technology to a new level, according to the researcher, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the project’s sensitivity. “Though a submarine has enormous power of destruction, its brain is actually quite small,” the researcher said. While a nuclear submarine depends on the skill, experience and efficiency of its crew to operate effectively, the demands of modern warfare could introduce variables that would cause even the smoothest-run operation to come unglued. For instance, if the 100 to 300 people in the sub’s crew were forced to remain together in their canister in deep, dark water for months, the rising stress level could affect the commanding officers’ decision-making powers, even leading to bad judgment. An AI decision-support system with “its own thoughts” would reduce the commanding officers’ workload and mental burden, according to the researcher. The possibility of AI having a prominent role in nuclear submarines – through the work of Chinese scientists – is a milestone both for China and the technology. Since the first nuclear submarines appeared in the early 1950s, produced by the US, they have ranked among the most sophisticated war machines. It can take as long as two decades for a nuclear sub to progress from an idea on a blueprint to the finished product, sliding down a slipway. Artificial intelligence bot beats humans at reading in a first for machines But the subs’ computer brains have generally been out of sync with their state-of-the-art image. First, the technology in most submarine computers tends to predate the vessel’s commissioning. Furthermore, military-grade electronic components have required extensive battle-hardening to withstand shocks, heat or electromagnetic disturbance, sacrificing speed for reliability. Up till now, the “thinking” function on a nuclear sub, including interpreting and answering signals picked up by sonar, a system for detecting objects under water by emitting sound pulses, has been handled almost exclusively by human naval personnel, not by machines. Now, through AI technology, a convolutional neural network undergirds so-called machine learning. This structure underpins a decision support system that can acquire knowledge, improve skills and develop new strategy without human intervention. By mimicking the workings of the human brain, the system can process a large amount of data. On a nuclear submarine, data could come from the Chinese navy’s rapidly increasing observation networks, the submarine’s own sensors or daily interactions with the crew. Artificial intelligence will change the job market and Hong Kong isn’t ready An AI assistant could support commanding officers by assessing the battlefield environment, providing insight into how levels of saline in the ocean and water temperature might affect the accuracy of sonar systems. It also could recognise and flag threats from an enemy faster and more accurately than human operators. An AI assist also could help commanding officers estimate the risks and benefits of certain combat manoeuvres, even suggesting moves not considered by the vessel’s captain. China’s military wants the new AI technology to deliver on certain basic demands, according to the researcher. A priority is ensuring the system can follow and understand sophisticated, ever-changing underwater operations. It also must have a simple structure to reduce its risk of failure. And it must be compact and compatible with subs’ existing computer systems. “It is like putting an elephant into a shoebox,” said the researcher when asked about the challenge of the project. ‘It is not science fiction’: AI experts warn of new global arms race for killer robots, call for ban “What the military cares most about is not fancy features. What they care most is the thing does not screw up amid the heat of a battle.” The military currently has no plan to reduce the size of submarine crews when the AI technology is ready for deployment. “There must be a human hand on every critical post. This is for safety redundancy,” the researcher said. Beijing, which takes the AI submarine programme very seriously, is ploughing abundant resources into the undertaking, according to the researcher. China’s move highlights the spectre of a widening AI technology gap. The existence of the AI sub tech divide was underscored by the comment of a US military systems executive taking part in a survey last year by the US Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency on “disruptive technologies” that a hostile country could use against Americans. Joe Marino, CEO of Rite-Solutions, a technical company supporting the US Naval Undersea System Command, touted the value of using AI to enhance submarine commanding officers’ decision-making powers. In the age of artificial intelligence, can we rise to the challenge of mass unemployment? “[Without matching other countries’ advances in AI submarine technology] our CO (commanding officers) would be fighting an opponent who could make faster, more informed and better decisions,” Marino wrote in an article on the company’s website. “Combined with undersea technology advancements by near-peer competitors such as Russia and China in areas such as stealth, sensors, weapons, this ‘cognitive advantage’ could threaten US undersea dominance,” he wrote. Marino urged the US navy to embrace AI and challenge America’s defence industry to investigate the possible application of the technology on US submarines. Zhu Min, a researcher at the Institute of Acoustics with the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a lead scientist in China’s deep water exploration programme, said AI has been a fashionable word in China’s submarine research community for the past couple of years. “In the past, the technology was too distant from application, but recently a lot of progress has been achieved,” he said. “There seems to be hope around the corner.” Where traditional computer programs on submarines have needed “step-by-step” human guidance, AI has the potential to “change the game under the sea”, Zhu said. China enlists top scientists in mission to become military tech superpower AI algorithms usually run on large, state-of-the-art computers, requiring intensive calculation to process a huge amount of data. Recent technical advancements, however, have suggested it may be possible for these algorithms – translated in layman’s terms as rules for solving a problem in a finite number of steps – to be executed on small machines. AlphaGo, a computer program that plays the board game Go, developed by Google’s Deep Mind, for instance, initially required several powerful computers. After two years it achieved much higher performance with only a tenth of the calculating hardware. AlphaGo Zero, the newest version of the program, no longer needs to learn how to play the game better from a human player. It can teach itself to be a better player without human help. Zhu said using AI on a strategic weaponry platform such as a nuclear submarine would be a natural next step for the evolving technology. Letting it seek new knowledge without restraint, however, could lead to unexpected consequences. If the system started to have its own way of thinking, “we may have a runaway submarine with enough nuclear arsenals to destroy a continent,” he said, describing what sounded like the plot of a science-fiction film or novel. Japan trials AI-assisted predictive policing before 2020 Tokyo Olympics “This is definitely a risk the authorities should consider when introducing AI to a sub.” Deng Zhidong, a computer science professor and AI scholar at Beijing’s Tsinghua University, said the risk of AI-based machines’ rebelling against human society did not exist – at least for the foreseeable future. “An AI-powered machine is still a machine. It does not have a life,” he said. An AI system on a submarine, though sophisticated, in many ways would be similar to self-driving technology on some cars, Deng said. “You can shut it down and shift to manual any time. It will be the same on a nuclear submarine.”

School Shootings: The Real Question

By Hal Lindsey

From Broward County, Florida, comes news of yet another school shooting. Politicians and members of the media immediately began asking how such tragedies can be averted. They focused on the usual things. How do we keep weapons out of the hands of dangerous individuals, and how do we spot signs that a person might be a potential mass shooter? Those are important, but they don’t address the real question, and that is, “Why?” After interviewing the suspect, reading his social media posts, and talking with people who know him, the police will tell us what they believe motivated him. But the question of why will not be answered by finding the specific motive of a specific shooter. Specific motives for seemingly insane acts don’t usually tell the real story. In Charles Manson’s trial, the prosecution put forward the famous Helter Skelter motive. Manson told his followers that they would start a race war that would lead to their eventual takeover of the United States. Helter Skelter was a motive, but superficial. It didn’t answer the real question of why. For instance, why would Manson or any of his followers be deluded enough to think they could start a race war or that it would lead to their becoming rulers of America? Where did the madness come from? In Manson’s case, it came partly from drug induced delusions reinforced by occult demons. Manson’s hero was Hitler. He was trying to be the Antichrist. He loved personal power over his followers. His kick was to get them to do anything he wanted. Manson was not legally insane. He knew what he was doing was wrong. But something was clearly off. That’s the case with more and more people across the country. Talking to reporters soon after the Florida school shooting, the Superintendent of Broward County Schools, Robert Runcie, told reporters, “Mental health issues in this country are growing. And they’re a big challenge.” The ever-increasing drug problem complicates that challenge. So many kids aren’t learning discipline at home that schools can’t handle them. A surprising number of parents are being forced by the schools to drug their children, or the schools won’t take them. Marijuana is a gateway drug to mind-altering drugs — now legal for “recreational use” in more and more states. Alcohol in excess is mind altering. Doctors have been overprescribing opioids for a generation. While all of that is legal, it is also changing the basic structure of Americans’ minds. Add illegal drugs to the legal ones, and the problem becomes unmanageable. Heroin was once looked down on as an urban street drug. But now it lives in high end suburbs where it has become cool. Then there’s cocaine in its various forms. The New York Times recently ran a feature story headlined, “Meth, the Forgotten Killer, Is Back. And It’s Everywhere.” The article said, “12 years after Congress took aggressive action to curtail it, meth has returned with a vengeance…. When the ingredients became difficult to come by in the United States, Mexican drug cartels stepped in.” Society teaches children that drugs are the answer when life becomes difficult. We teach it to them by giving it to them. We teach it when television and film heroes drink alcohol to get through a hard situation. Anecdotally, there seems to be more alcohol use on television now than ever before — especially among characters in their early twenties. Those are the characters that younger teens look up to and emulate. Drug use causes all kinds of problems in the human brain, but it does not answer the basic question of why. Instead, it is another symptom of the bigger problem. We could also talk about violent video games, where a generation of children have been playing with murder simulators since early on. Most school-shooters played first-person shooter games regularly. But the games are also a symptom, and not the answer. The real answer is that human beings need God. We were created to have a relationship with Him — to love Him with all our hearts, as well as to love our neighbors. But having a relationship with God today is something big media mocks. The very bizarre Omarosa Manigault Newman is a “reality” TV specialist. She’s currently appearing on the CBS series, “Celebrity Big Brother.” She recently criticized Vice President Mike Pence’s faith on the show. She said, “I am Christian, I love Jesus, but he thinks Jesus tells him to say things.” In other words, “Yeah, sure, I’m sort of a Christian, but the Vice President actually believes that stuff!” Responding to that on ABC’s The View, Joy Behar told her fellow panelists, “It’s one thing to talk to Jesus. It’s another thing when Jesus talks to you. That’s called mental illness.” Imagine mocking something as precious as prayer. In America today, up has become down, and good has become crazy. In an interview the next day, Pence said, “I actually heard that ABC has a program that compared my Christianity to mental illness. And I’d like to laugh about it, but I really can’t.” He went to say, “It’s an insult not to me, but to the vast majority of the American people who, like me, cherish their faith. My Christianity is the most important thing in my life.” We will not solve the school shooting crisis with gun laws. We will not solve the mental health crisis with more drugs. What we need is prayer — the kind of prayer that not only speaks to God, but also listens for His voice. We need people across the country to use the access God has given them to Himself, and to pray. As they do, many of them will come to really know Jesus. There, they will find meaning, joy, and peace. That’s what we who know Christ need to work and pray toward with all our hearts.

North Carolina Woman Sentenced to 7 Days in Jail for Baptizing Daughter

A North Carolina mother is serving a week in jail for having her daughter baptized without the permission and the presence of the child's father, according to reports. District Court Judge Sean Smith ruled that Kendra Stocks, 36, of Charlotte acted in "bad-faith disregard" by having her daughter baptized without consulting the father, Paul Schaaf, violating the terms of a custody battle decision, WSOC reported. Her seven-day sentence began Friday. In a 2016 decision, the court granted Schaaf, a practicing Catholic, the authority on all legal custody decisions, including the child's religion. The judge had warned both Schaaf and Stocks that any breach of the terms could lead to a fine or a jail term.  Schaaf learned about the child's baptism through a Facebook post by Stocks, who is also a practicing Catholic. Even though both parents wanted their daughter to be raised in the church, court files mention disagreement over religious matters which had delayed the child's baptism. "The mother has acted selfishly by depriving the father of the ability to be present at an event that was extraordinarily important to him," the court documents said. Stocks was originally sentenced to 10 days in jail, but it was later cut to seven after she appealed. "I'm scared," The Charlotte Observer quoted Stocks as saying. "I'm sad about what has happened. I don't regret having her baptized. That was in her best interest … I don't see how this is in the best interest of the family. Her father is sending her mother to jail." Schaaf's attorney Jonathan Feit said the mother is not being penalized for baptizing her child, but for disobeying a judge. "For our system to work, there ought to be consequences for willfully and intentionally violating a court order," he was quoted as saying. "I teach my children that. I reject the notion that anybody else is responsible for what is happening besides Ms. Stocks herself." Schaaf and Stocks were together for six months, but they separated after Stocks allegedly refused to include Schaaf in the child's last name, according to court documents. "I'll get through it and hopefully come out a better person," Stocks told Channel 9.

High school’s American flag replaced with ISIS flag day after Florida shooting

USA Today NetworkEmily Havens, The (St. George, Utah) Spectrum Published 9:10 a.m. ET Feb. 16, 2018 | Updated 11:45 a.m. ET Feb. 16, 2018

ST. GEORGE, Utah — On the morning after a mass shooting at a Florida high school, one Southern Utah school was vandalized with ISIS messages. According to the Hurricane City Police Department, a suspect reportedly replaced the American flag that was displayed outside of Hurricane High School with an ISIS flag. One of the school's walls on the east side was also spray painted with graffiti that read: "ISIS is comi--." More: Kentucky governor blames violent video games, movies, not guns for school shootings More: Her grandpa survived a mass shooting; Florida girl did, too HCPD Officer Ken Thompson said investigators are currently reviewing surveillance footage from the school's security cameras as well as footage from surrounding businesses. Thompson said it's unclear how many individuals were involved with the crime, which happened at around 3 a.m. HHS has a designated school resource officer who is standing by on campus to "ensure students' safety, as always," according to the HCPD's statement. Thompson added that there's a "beefed-up" law enforcement presence at the school. "We have school resource officers at all of our schools, and that's no different today," he said Thursday. "We have additional investigators who are looking into this." As of Thursday morning, HCPD was the only agency investigating the case. HCPD is urging anyone with information regarding the incident or suspicion of who may have been involved to reach out to its dispatch center at 435-627-4999.

Hezbollah: U.S. must accept Lebanon's demands over Israel border dispute

Lebanon vows to block border wall, Israel eyes diplomacy on gas field

Lebanon speaker rejects U.S. proposal on disputed waters with Israel

By REUTERS February 16, 2018 19:04

BEIRUT - Lebanon's Hezbollah said on Friday the United States must accept the Lebanese government's demands over border disputes with Israel and vowed it was ready to act against Israel if necessary. US diplomats have been mediating between the two countries after a surge in tensions over a border wall which Israel is building and Lebanon's decision to explore for offshore energy near disputed waters. Earlier on Friday, Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri told a US envoy that Lebanon rejects current US proposals over the marine border with Israel. "The state must have a strong and firm position," said Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Iran-backed political and military movement, in a televised speech at a rally. "If the Americans come and say you must be responsive so that I restrain Israel from you: tell the Americans they must accept (Lebanon's) demands so that we hold Hezbollah back from Israel," he added. Nasrallah said the main issue currently at stake was Lebanon's maritime borders. "In the oil and gas battle, the only power (the Lebanese) have is the resistance," he said, in a reference to the heavily armed, Shi'ite Muslim Hezbollah. The Lebanese army could not stop Israel in this matter, he said, because the United States - Israel's key ally and also a key supporter of Lebanon's military - would stand in its way. "If Lebanon's Higher Defence Council were to decide that (Israeli) offshore oil and gas plants...should be forbidden from working, I promise they would stop working within hours," he said. Nasrallah spoke in a televised address at a rally commemorating senior commanders, including former military leader Imad Moughniyah who was killed in a bomb blast in Damascus in 2008. Hezbollah was formed in the 1980s as a resistance movement against Israel's occupation of southern Lebanon and the two remain bitter enemies. There has been no major conflict between them since a month-long war in 2006. In recent years, Israeli jets have repeatedly struck Hezbollah arms stores and convoys in neighboring Syria, where the group fights alongside Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's army.

Why is Britain so tolerant of Muslim Terrorists parading in their streets? – Islamophobia

By Avi Abelow @aviabelow

J-TV: The Global Jewish Channel just posted this extremely important video with Simon Barrett of Revelation TV highlighting the huge problem called “Islamophobia” in Britian. While British Prime Minister Theresa May clearly states in the video that extremism “is shameful and it has to end”, NOTHING is being done by Britain to make that happen! Every year, Hizbullah has a parade down London’s Downing street called the Al-Quds parade, which is an Israel hate-fest. Hizbullah flags fly high on the streets of London during this parade. The problem is that Hizbullah is a terrorist organization! Even the Arab League has designated it as a terror organization, yet Britain, for whatever reason, does NOT designate Hizbullah as a terror organization! They prefer to believe Hizbullah’s lie that they have two separate branches, a terrorist branch and a political branch. For a people who proclaim to have some intelligence, the British, in this case, are either showing how stupid they are, or they are showing their anti-semitic side by intentionally giving life to this lie because the main targets of Hizbullah’s terror are Israel and the Jews! How can Britain fight the Muslim extremism in Britain if Britain can not even designate a terror organization as a terror organization? That is part of the overall problem of Islamophobia in Britain. While it is nice that PM May says that extremism has to end, if she is not able to allow the British authorities to call out the extremism of Islam within Britain, her words are meaningless. This problem of Islamophobia in British is compounded by the recent discovery that the BBC has intentionally been refraining from reporting on the violence, rapes and terror taking place in Britain at the hands of Muslims. This wasn’t just discovered, but a BBC journalist actually admitted this in a live video stream interviewing Tommy Robinson.

Feds to give all your health data to researchers

Mental records, blood, urine samples, physical measurements, even DNA

Published: 5 days ago By Bob Unruh

The federal government has just launched a 10-year, $1.5 billion project for which researchers want your information. All of it. Medical records, mental-health records, lifestyle details, personal habits, physical measurements, blood pressure, height, weight, blood and urine samples, details on health-care visits, procedures, medications, and electronic health records, among others. Oh, and DNA, too. It’s called All of Us and scientists say they want at least one million people to be under observation on an ongoing basis. Explains one federal report, the effort by the NIH has the goal of developing “a 1,000,000 person-plus cohort of individuals across the country willing to share their biology, lifestyle, and environmental data for the purpose of research.” What do YOU think? Sound off on federal plan to give away your health info. Take the WND Poll! A “soft launch” already has been accomplished, and partners already part of the plan include the TransAmerica Precision Medicine Consortium, Biobank, San Ysidro Health, University of Arizona, University of Pittsburgh and a long list of federal agencies. The plan has drawn a skeptical assessment from Twila Brase, whose Citizen’s Council for Health Freedom long has expressed concerns about the privacy of health information once it’s turned over to researchers. She’s also preparing to release “Big Brother in the Exam Room,” through her website, a book on the same topic. She’s concerned that people won’t realize what is involved in the research when they sign a consent form giving the government virtually unlimited access to their health records – even those they don’t know about. Brase, an R.N. who has been called one of the “100 Most Powerful People in Health Care,” pointed out that the Wall Street Journal not many months ago had an extended report on a “crime gene,” which reportedly linked a person with a propensity for violent behavior. A BBC report on that topic, which came out in 2014, claimed that it had identified two genes, and “those with the genes were 13 times more likely to have a history of repeated violent behavior.” Brase said those approached about participating in the new million-person study may think it’s a good idea, that it will bring about solutions to cancer, Alzheimer’s and more. But, “a person approached with this idea of giving up DNA… I don’t think that they may want all the kinds of research that could be done,” she said. For example, their data could be used for race-based research, or other “objectionable purposes … things you can’t even imagine today.” Then there’s the availability today of gene editing, through the CRISPR project, and more. What would study participants’ reaction be if there was found a gene editing process “to make people more social justice minded?” She said DNA researchers can reveal information participants may not want to know, and, in fact, may regret being told – like one has a propensity for dementia. Even assurances given regarding the future use of DNA data are not reliable, because in a federally funded project, Congress can simply change the ground rules. A recent report concerning artificial intelligence in the medical field noted, “An aspirational goal for health and health care is to amass large datasets (labeled and unlabeled) and systematically curated health data so that novel disease correlations can be identified, and people can be matched to the best treatments based on their specific health, life-experiences, and genetic profile.” Of course, to accomplish that among the factors that would need to be evaluated would be economic stability including employment and income, housing, parks and playgrounds, language and literacy, hunger, social integration and discrimination, and quality of health care. Genetic information also must be included in this enterprise. “To gain a complete picture of health, data from genetics, health care delivery and outcomes, and the social determinants of health should be integrated. This could include, for example, data on exercise, addictions, diet, the reporting and sharing of family history, treatment experiences, and social consequences associated with a chronic disease, and the widespread collection of health-relevant information from wearable devices and smart technology platform apps,” that report explained. The NIH explains among its goals is finding correlations between activities, physiological measures and environmental exposures. An advisory panel for the program just last month opened its meetings, which are scheduled to continue next in August. Project director Eric Dishman says more than 14,000 participants already have been enrolled and says access to electronic health records will be key – in fact, mandatory. The Federation of American Scientists points out that any such programs “raise knotty questions of data security and personal privacy.” “No amount of de-identification (anonymization) of the data will guarantee the privacy protection of the participants,” the report said. The AI report noted that the goals include fetching data from people through “wireless sensor technologies,” including data from mobile and wearable devices, and gathering details on the geospatial/environmental data. The report also noted that the $1.5 billion is probably just a beginning of the money that will be demanded. “While this may appear to provide the funding needed to create the data resources envisioned … it is like that significantly more funding may be both necessary and warranted to successfully populate the database and distribute this data to the research community and public,” the report said. That report notes that privacy and trust will be major issues to address. “Participants may not want to share all of the required information and so a mechanism must be put into place to enable participants to choose which pieces of information can be released and to whom,” it found. The FAS concerns echoed Brase’s concerns, which include the direction of the research. “We don’t know where this is going. It behooves everybody to be very cautious before they just wholesale give their DNA to federal experiments,” she told WND. What if one’s DNA is used for a chimera, she wondered. Or would people be happy with mandatory gene editing should research suggest that would cut health care costs? She advises: “You may not be able to control who gets that information.”

Greyerz – The World Is At A Major Inflection Point

February 11, 2018

On the heels of some serious volatility in global markets, today the man who has become legendary for his predictions on QE and historic moves in currencies, warned King World News that the world is now at a major inflection point. February 12 (King World News) – Egon von Greyerz: “US economics is extremely predictable. It doesn’t matter who is president and what party they come from because every president will spend more money than the US can afford. On average, US Federal debt has doubled every 8 years since Reagan came to power in 1981. And Trump has just fulfilled the prediction. The budget deal that has just been agreed to is guaranteed to produce substantial deficits in coming years. The current year’s deficit might be just under $1 trillion but thereafter it is virtually guaranteed that the US will not have a budget deficit under $1 trillion for many, many years… In Volatile Markets, Is Wealth Preservation King? In a King World News interview I spoke with the man who predicted the Swiss National Bank would experience staggering losses and that the Fed would also experience massive losses that will destabilize the global financial system! His company is the only one in the world offering a precious metals investment service outside the banking system, with direct ownership and full control by the investor. He has also become legendary for his predictions on QE, historic moves in currencies, and major global events.

On the heels of some serious volatility in global markets, today the man who has become legendary for his predictions on QE and historic moves in currencies, warned King World News that the world is now at a major inflection point. February 12 (King World News) – Egon von Greyerz: “US economics is extremely predictable. It doesn’t matter who is president and what party they come from because every president will spend more money than the US can afford. On average, US Federal debt has doubled every 8 years since Reagan came to power in 1981. And Trump has just fulfilled the prediction. The budget deal that has just been agreed to is guaranteed to produce substantial deficits in coming years. The current year’s deficit might be just under $1 trillion but thereafter it is virtually guaranteed that the US will not have a budget deficit under $1 trillion for many, many years… In Volatile Markets, Is Wealth Preservation King? In a King World News interview I spoke with the man who predicted the Swiss National Bank would experience staggering losses and that the Fed would also experience massive losses that will destabilize the global financial system! His company is the only one in the world offering a precious metals investment service outside the banking system, with direct ownership and full control by the investor. He has also become legendary for his predictions on QE, historic moves in currencies, and major global events.

Egon von Greyerz continues: “During Obama, debt went form $10T to $ 20T. Whether Trump will manage to keep below $28T by 2021 is questionable. What is more certain is that by 2025, whoever is president, debt will most certainly fulfill the historic trend of doubling every 8 years. That means a $40T debt in 2025. The scenario to cause this huge debt is straightforward. Crashing bond and stock markets, high interest rates, high inflation leading to hyperinflation and defaults in the financial system. All that will result in massive money printing on a scale that has never been done in history. It would actually be a miracle if the US debt is only $40T in 2025. With hyperinflation, it could be multiples of that sum. The signals that the markets have given in the last few weeks are a clear indication that the euphoric stage of the economy is coming to an end. It began with the biggest bubble in history starting to burst – Cryptocurrencies. In one month the market cap of this market more than halved from $835 billion to $395 billion. Cryptos have been a wonderful speculation for the few that managed to cash in. But for many it has been a disastrous Ponzi scheme that will end in tears. Cryptos have nothing to do with real investments and even less to do with wealth preservation. There is nothing wrong with having a small flutter in a speculative instrument. Sadly though, many buyers of cryptos have been tempted to buy on credit and are sitting on major losses. The fall in Cryptos is symptomatic of the end of an era. Compared to a $80 trillion global market, cryptos are insignificant. Stocks and cryptos have one thing in common, they both have a long way down from here. While cryptos will go to zero, stocks will go down in real terms by at least 90%. I say real terms because hyperinflation can take the nominal level of stocks a lot higher. Between 1929 and 1932 the Dow fell by 90%. On any criteria, the stock bubble is so much greater today so once this market has topped, the coming fall will shock the world. Stock market investors have had the most fantastic ride for over 100 years. $100 invested in 1913 when the Fed was created would today be worth $2.8 million today. That assumes all dividends reinvested and no tax paid. This is a remarkable return and only achieved thanks to a group of bankers who decided to take control of the Western world’s financial system in 1910 on Jekyll Island. This was one of the most remarkable financial coups in the financial history of the world. As the famous banker Mayer Amshel Rothschild said over 200 years ago: “Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws”. Since the Fed was created in 1913 for the purpose of controlling the money, Global Debt has gone from virtually nothing to $250 trillion today. Add unfunded liabilities of $250 trillion and derivatives of $1.5 quadrillion and we are looking at a total risk for the world economy of $2 quadrillion. Governments and central banks have mortgaged the future for generations to come. Nobody must believe that this money will ever be repaid or that the liabilities can be met. Thus, there will not be an orderly outcome of the greatest financial bubble in history. Central banks are now reversing their expansionary policies. The combination of tapering and interest rate hikes are guaranteed to pop the bubble. The global economy is totally dependent on their daily dose of fresh money and zero interest rates. A 1% increase in interest rates would according to the US Treasury’s Office of Financial Research (OFR) lead to a bloodbath in the US high-grade bond market. This would then spread to junk bonds, fixed rate mortgages and derivatives to further spread the crisis. A rise in rates will also affect the offshore dollar funding market which has risen 5 fold this century to $10 trillion. With over Yen 1 quadrillion in debt, Japan could not survive rates rising above zero. The OFR Stress Index below is a daily market based snapshot of stress in global financial markets. It is constructed from 33 financial market variables such as yield spreads, valuation and interest rates. The index is now at a similar risk level as before the 2007- 9 financial crisis. As I have discussed in recent articles, risk is currently at an extreme in most sectors of the financial world. The main indicators which are now signaling a turn in markets are interest rates and inflation going up and the dollar falling. These moves will accelerate in coming months and years until we see both interest rates and inflation in the teens, at least, and the dollar finishing the 100 year move to zero. The volatility in stock markets that we have seen in recent days is another indication of a turn in the economy. In 5 of the last 6 trading days, the Dow has moved 500 to over 1,000 points per day. We are now likely to see further pressure in the short term before either the market turns up again to finish the melt-up move sometime this year. Alternatively we have now seen the top and markets move down strongly from here. Either way, stocks are now very high risk and investors should either reduce positions or get out of the market. With stocks falling and cryptos halving in value, the precious metals are barely reacting. As is common when stocks fall, metals also go down initially before they resume the uptrend. Gold in dollars is now up $80 since early December after having been up $130. For gold to really move, it must move in all currencies. But that has not been the case. Gold in Swiss francs and British pounds is the same as in early December and gold in euros is just marginally up. This means that it is actually not gold which has moved up since December. Instead, what we have seen is dollar weakness. Thus dollar based gold investors have benefitted from the move since December but not investors in other currencies. For the last two years, gold in Euros has traded in a narrow range of EUR 160 between EUR 1,060 and 1,220. In the last 6 months this range has narrowed further and gold in Euros is now poised for a breakout to the upside. When that move starts, gold is likely to move up not just against the Euro but in all currencies. The Gold / Silver ratio is often a good indicator of the direction of the precious metals. This ratio has now reached the 80 level for the fourth time this century. Every time the ratio has reached this level there has been a sharp reversal. Looking at the chart, a reversal is likely within the next few weeks. That will result in silver taking the lead and moving up fast with gold following at a slower speed. So it is likely that silver will soon start the move to new highs, providing major capital appreciation combined with excellent wealth preservation. But it must be physical silver since there are likely to be major shortages once the move starts. Swiss refiners are reporting solid demand for gold. As usual most of the buying is coming form the East and China in particular. 2018 is likely to be the year when the 2007-9 crisis returns with a vengeance. But this time it will be a lot more serious. Central banks will panic and print money at a level never seen before in history leading to collapsing currencies and hyperinflation. The time when gold and silver can be bought at current low prices is soon coming to an end and at some point it will be virtually impossible to find precious metals at any price.”

MSM Celebrates Communist Death Camps And Slavery As The 'War Upon Truth' Reaches 'Twilight Zone' And 'MK-Ultra-Cated' Left Falls Ever Further Off Deep End

- We Are Moving Quickly Towards A 'Manufactured Event' That May Be War On US Soil

February 12, 2018 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

According to this recent story over at The Daily Banter, what they are calling 'a terrifying British study' shows that supporters of President Donald Trump are now 'basically unreachable' and Trump supporters share more 'junk political news' over Twitter and Facebook than all other groups combined. Quoting a study done by researchers at Oxford University as reported by the website McClatchy, the story at the Banter then goes on to lie to their own readers, many of who call them out in the comment section (when will they, too, shut down their comments like many liberal websites are now doing?) by publishing the following 3 paragraphs full of what sounds to us exactly like Hillary-Clinton-loving-propaganda as the dam gets ready to break upon her. Proving to us how terrified some people on the left are as more and more truth emerges about the 'deep state' attempting to fix the election for Hillary and overthrow the will of the American people who voted for President Trump, how can so many on the left still be so fooled when we have absolute proof from former DNC head Donna Brazile that Hillary Clinton fixed the Democratic primary race so that she would win and 'people's favorite' Bernie Sanders lose? From the Banter story: Right now, we are in the midst of a very serious crisis. Truth and the rules of evidence are under attack by a radical government that thinks little of lying and distorting evidence for its own, nefarious purposes. Donald Trump and his administration rose to power through lying, and they are maintaining it by continuing to propagate the same myths they sold their gullible supporters. Immigrants are to blame for all of America's woes. Liberals are trying to destroy the country. Facts are subjective. Climate change is a hoax. Tax cuts solve everything. Lying doesn't matter. And on, and on, and on. An entire media ecosystem exists to perpetuate the lies told by Trump and the GOP -- outlets that don't meet the most basic standards of journalism. Fox News, Breitbart, Newsmax, Townhall, and a host of other propaganda sites have made it their mission to distort the truth, ignore reality and feed their audiences with dangerous myths. The net result is a radical government protected by a bubble of insanity maintained by radical media outlets that are only interested in power. The people who run these organizations know exactly what they are doing and rely on the ignorance of vast swathes of society to keep up the facade. The unconscious masses who give into their fears of "other" and voted in the monster currently in office work diligently to spread the falsehoods responsible for maintaining Trump's grip on power. This is not subjective reporting, but fact. British researchers from Oxford University have proved definitively that Trump supporters share more "junk" political news over Twitter and Facebook "than all other groups combined". With ANP one of the websites listed by Washington Post quoted 'prop or not' as being 'Russian propaganda', we can confirm that nobody from the Daily Banter contacted us to get any information to back their claims. Yet as Susan Duclos reported just days ago on ANP, the majority of those who are still getting their news from the msm and are paying very close attention to the FISA memo KNOW that they are being lied to with 55% of independents and even 31% of Democrats realizing the msm is distorting the truth. Meanwhile, the 'MK-ultra-cated' left (thanks to Steve Quayle for coining that word!) continues to believe the Mockingbird media, what could turn dangerous with many on the left actually pushing for civil war as reported in this new Infowars story. Are the globalists ready to manufacture an event as deadly as bringing civil war to US soil to protect Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and the 'deep state' while attempting to get President Trump out of office? And while speaking of a 'bubble of insanity', many independent media websites including Infowars and Breitbart have been reporting for the last year+ upon the widespread cases of 'Trump derangement syndrome' that have taken down the left as if it were weaponized flu, triggering the mainstream-media-believing-masses into psychotic breakdowns including 'screaming helplessly at the sky' as the 'deep state' plot to get their 'dear leader' Hillary Clinton office failed. And while the left in Europe attempts to ban what they call 'fake news', remember that such a move is a very favorite tool of dictators and wanna-be dictators like Hillary Clinton who would rather lie to the entire world than face the music. Imagine if Richard Nixon had been able to ban the Washington Post's Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein and their reporting upon Watergate, calling it 'fake news' or 'Democratic propaganda'. With attempting to control the flow of news a favorite tool of dictators, does anyone reading this really believe that those who have committed treason against America and sold out our nation to enrich themselves will admit to it? With the mass awakening of Americans to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama criminality exposed in part by the FISA courts abuse memo the reason that many Americans are now believing the msm less and less, it's not the least bit surprising that at the same time as this 'mass awakening', President Trump's approval rating has hit nearly 50% according to this recent poll over at Rasmussen Reports which the Drudge Report links to regularly. And if Hillary and the leftist msm really want to know why the 'Clinton crime family' is losing control, all we need to do is look back to this 2011 video in which Hillary admits "we are losing the information war". And now we go back to the Daily Banter story to see why people like California Democratic Rep Adam Schiff look just like a deer caught in the headlights, President Trump supporters will soon outnumber his detractors. And while Snopes falls to new lows by reporting that in the FISA memo scandal, Schiff was a victim of a Russian bot campaign (when will the SORE LOSERS give up on the 'everything is Russia' narrative?), dangerously deluded CNN actually celebrates North Korea and their communist death camps as we hear in the next video below from Infowars. From the Daily Banter story via McClatchy: Backers of President Donald Trump are sharing more “junk” political news – ideologically extreme, conspiratorial, sensationalist and phony information – over Twitter and Facebook than all other groups combined, significantly magnifying the polarization in the American electorate, according to an analysis by British researchers. Rather than obtaining news over social media from mainstream outlets, these Americans shared posts from 92 Twitter accounts of fringe groups such as "100PercentFEDUp", "TheAngryAmericans" and "WeArethenewmedia" during the three months before Trump’s first State of the Union address, the Oxford University researchers reported. The study, which culled data from hundreds of thousands of social media accounts, found similar patterns among Facebook users. Unsurprisingly, Breitbart News and InfoWars were deemed by the study to be "especially sympathetic to Trump and his administration," along with the National Review, Hannity.com, the site of Fox News talk show host Sean Hannity, and the New York Daily News. All routinely publish misleading news, conspiracy theories and outright falsehoods that are propagated furiously by Trump supporters. Among a sample of Twitter users with strong connections to one of 10 groups along the political spectrum, the researchers found that 96 percent of Trump backers widely shared “junk” news and did so more than all other groups combined; the groups included military and gun rights supporters, liberals and other Democrats, and more. Among 13 similar categories of Facebook users, 91 percent of “hard conservatives” circulated junk news, also more than all other categories combined. The report also concluded that the "facts" reported by far right sites shared by Trump supporters are so detached from reality that it makes dialogue with them completely impossible. Although the “junk” news sites considered in the analysis included those on both the left and right, lead researcher Philip Howard said the findings suggest "that most of the junk news that people share over social media ends up with Trump’s fans, the far right. They’re playing with different facts, and they think they have the inside scoop on conspiracies." With the mainstream media now glorifying North Korea while neglecting their long-documented human rights abuses including their support of slavery and death camps while the masses there starve a perfect example of where the globalists were attempting to lead America, we thank God President Trump is in office while Hillary is nowhere near it. And now we see why the left is so 'terrified' as the Daily Banter story admits as seen in the final excerpt from their story republished below. And while they don't mention that President Trump's approval rating has nearly hit 50%, imagine the reactions we'll be getting from the 'lunatic fringe' once more Americans awaken to the lies we've long been told. This, well, pretty damn terrifying. This "small chunk of the population" has an outsized influence on public discourse that has led to an almost complete breakdown of civil society in America. The right wing media understands its audience extremely well and must continue to throw them enough red meat to keep them happy. The further they go, the harder it is to come back to reality. (They should know - just ask Hillary!) Sean Hannity, for example, is now so far removed from anything resembling consensus reality that he and his rabid viewers are incapable of discussing politics with anyone other than themselves. I have argued that reconciliation with Trump supporters and the fringe right is a necessity at some point if the country is to survive in the long term. But in the short term, this is now completely impossible. Trump supporters cannot be reached, talked to, or negotiated with, so there is little point it trying. The only thing that counts is upholding the rule of law, voting the complicit GOP out of office in the midterms, and booting out Trump in 2020 (should he survive that long). There can be reconciliation, but only after the adults take back control of the country. And while we agree with them that one of the most important things going forward is 'upholding the rule of law', the 'rule of law' was long broken by those very same corrupt politicians that the left still somehow supports and insanely protects. With Hillary joining many on the left in totally breaking down over President Trump as even she recently admitted by stating she gets overwhelmed by President Trump at least a dozen times a day, and recently calling for 'activist b*tches to support activist b*tches' as heard in the final video below, we're happy to report that with President Trump in office, the adults finally are taking control of America though we clearly have a long way to go after decades of damage done.

Report: Kenyan Women Sterilized, Latest Tragedy in Long History of “Tainted” Vaccines

By Daniel Taylor

1974 memo authored by Henry Kissinger recommended “injectable contraceptives” for women. Where are the SJW’s? Recent reports are claiming that hundreds of thousands of Kenyan women have been sterilized after receiving tetanus shots. To those who have been following this story, it is all too familiar. In 2010, Old-Thinker News reported on the efforts of the Gates Foundation and the GAVI alliance to “vaccinate the world.” While mainstream media attacks claims of sterilization through vaccines, the fact that these vaccines exist cannot be denied. Anti fertility vaccines have existed for decades. These vaccines work by delivering hCG (the female hormone called human chorionic gonadotrophin) attached to the tetanus vaccine, or other carriers. The human body then treats hCG, a hormone required to maintain pregnancy, as an intruder and creates antibodies against it. This has the effect of sterilizing women who receive the vaccine, and in many cases miscarriage when given during pregnancy. Populations across the third world have received this vaccine in a depopulation program carried out by the UN, World Bank and others. Many of these countries were specifically targeted in the U.S. Government’s 1974 National Security Memorandum 200 document for population reduction. The document, written with the assistance of globalist kingpin Henry Kissinger, recommended that “injectable contraceptives” receive further funding. It also reccomends that food rationing be used to “…help people who can’t/won’t control their population growth…” According to the local population of the Akha in Thailand, pregnant women are forced to receive vaccines in order to get ID cards for their children. The vaccine often results with miscarriage. In the video below, Matthew McDaniel, a human rights activist who has been working with the Akha people of Thailand, speaks with two Akha women about the forced Tetanus vaccine and the resulting miscarriages.

Putin had to approve Russian attack on US troops

By Ralph Peters February 13, 2018 | 9:02pm | Updated

It was inevitable. Russian “mercenaries” attacked a forward base in Syria where they knew American advisors were stationed. It was a test. And our military passed. Let’s hope the administration passes, too. The most important thing about this attack on our troops is that it couldn’t have happened without Vladimir Putin’s personal approval. Nye vozmozhno. The core of the attacking force came from the Wagner Group, Russia’s version of the American thugs who worked for the company formerly known as Blackwater. But while the media refers to the Russians as mercenaries, the Wagner Group functions as an auxiliary of the Russian militaryit previously gave command performances in Crimea and eastern Ukraine. It exists to give Moscow (barely) plausible deniability. It also allows the Kremlin to avoid reporting formal military casualties. Putin remembers the popular disaffection in the 1980s because of the “zinky boys,” the young Russian soldiers returning home in zinc coffins in large numbers. But the bottom line is that these killers — primarily ethnic Russians, but also recruited regionally — work for Putin. Russian suggestions that this was a rogue operation are ludicrous: An armored task force including hundreds of Russian citizens doesn’t attack US troops and blindside Putin. Doesn’t work that way, comrade. And somewhere between several dozen and 200 of these Kremlin auxiliaries were killed, with hundreds more of the attackers wounded. We may never know the precise number, but the interesting point is that the higher casualty figures come from unofficial Russian sources. What happened? Last week, a Russian-directed task force with tanks and artillery crossed the agreed deconfliction line separating Assad’s turf and that liberated by the Syrian Democratic Forces — our guys. The Russians knew our advisors were there because we told them. After about 5 miles, the Russians, thinly cloaked as regime forces, attacked. It was a very bad idea. Our ground-attack aircraft and drones struck back promptly to protect our troops. And the crucial difference between our pilots and Russians jet-jockeys is that we hit our targets. It was not a banner day for Mother Russia. But while the guided bombs struck, a charade continued, with US and Russian officers chatting on a hot line. We warned the Russians we were hitting the attackers. The Russians played dumb and didn’t interfere. (No plausible denial had they gotten openly involved.) And there would’ve been a lot of Russian aircraft strewn over the landscape. What now? The Russians will try to take revenge, one way or another. President Trump will be tested. In a phone conversation with Putin on Monday, the president and the czar didn’t discuss the events in Syria, according to the Russian side. Hard to believe, but what really matters will be what happens next. Nor did this event happen in a strategic vacuum. Almost simultaneously, Iran tested Israel by sending a drone into Israeli airspace. And Iran fared even worse than did those Russian yahoos with tanks. After butchering Syrian civilians with impunity, it must have shocked the Kremlin’s gangsters-in-uniform to face US airpower, but the Iranians in Syria paid a still-higher price: The IDF tore apart Assad’s air defenses and hit Iranian command-and-control nodes. We killed sergeants, the Israelis killed colonels. Iran wants Israel destroyed and all Jews dead. Putin wants the US out of Syria, but doesn’t really mind if Israel weakens Iran’s grip at this point — leaving Assad more reliant on Russia. Lot of moving parts in this scenario. But what’s clear as vodka is that Putin was willing to risk a large number of his men in the hope they’d kill enough American advisers to make us flee Syria. It didn’t work, but Putin won’t give up. He’s paid a much higher price in Syria than he initially expected, and he wants a return on his investment. He’ll try other ways to drive us out, perhaps using terror attacks to kill Americans. The Russians are at war with us, and we’re at war with them, but both sides would find an admission inconvenient. So we’ll continue deconflicting flight paths and coordinating boundaries . . . while Putin’s henchmen calculate how best to wound us, from attacking our elections to killing Americans in uniform. We passed a test last week. But that was a pop quiz, not the final exam. Ralph Peters is a retired US Army officer and author.

Preparing for war in the north, Israel boosts air defenses

Israel strikes Iranian targets in Syria, IAF pilots eject F-16

Pilot who shot down Iranian drone: Sent to protect the country's skies

By Anna Ahronheim February 11, 2018 11:41

Some 20 Syrian air defense missiles were fired towards Israeli jets during missions over Syria.  3 minute read. Israel has boosted its air defense in the North following a significant confrontation between the Jewish state, Syria and Iran that led to the loss of an F-16i fighter jet. While the army refused to comment on the reports, witnesses reported seeing a convoy of missile-defense batteries heading north near the Israeli-Arab city of Baka al-Gharbiya. Other witnesses posted photos of several trucks carrying the batteries on central highways in northern Israel. Israel’s air defenses currently include the Iron Dome, designed to shoot down short-range rockets; the Arrow system, which intercepts ballistic missiles outside of the Earth’s atmosphere; and the David’s Sling missile-defense system, which is designed to intercept tactical ballistic missiles, medium- to long-range rockets and cruise missiles fired from ranges of between 40 km to 300 km. Israel also has Patriot-missile batteries stationed in the North and has used them to intercept drones infiltrating into Israeli airspace from Syria. In September, an Iranian-built unmanned aerial vehicle breached the “Bravo line” that marks the Syrian demilitarized zone, and was intercepted by an Israeli Patriot anti-ballistic missile launched from a station near the northern city of Safed. The first use of the Arrow system was in April when it was launched to intercept three surface-to-air missiles fired toward IAF jets by Syrian-regime air defense. On Saturday, an Iranian drone, which took off from Syria’s T4 airbase in northern Homs province, flew through Jordanian territory before it infiltrated into Israel. It flew for about a minute and a half in the northern Jordan Valley before it was shot down by a helicopter flown by Lt.-Col. “L.”, commander of the 113 Squadron. “The squadron was sent to protect the country’s skies,” L. said. “We identified the aircraft as an Iranian drone, and when it crossed the border, we shot it down into Israeli territory. The squadron is ready and prepared for any task it is given.” IAF chief-of-air-staff Brig.-Gen. Tomer Bar, who is second in command of Israel’s air force, said the drone was an advanced model with a low signature that Israel had never intercepted before. It is currently being examined by the IDF. In retaliation for the incursion, eight jets took off to strike the drone’s launch site. During the operation, Syrian regime forces fired around 20 antiaircraft missiles at the jets. The pilot and navigator of one of the planes ejected themselves when they recognized that one of the missiles had locked onto their jet. According to the IDF, Iran and the Quds Force of the Revolutionary Guards have been operating at the T4 base “for a long time, backed by Syrian- army forces and with the approval of the Syrian regime.” “Iran has been using the base in recent months for the purpose of transferring weaponry to be used against Israel,” said the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit. “These actions by Iran at the base are ostensibly carried out under the guise of supporting the fighting against the global Islamic jihad forces, but the actions carried out in the past 24 hours prove that its real concern is direct, violent action against Israel.” “In the Iranian action, all the Israeli warnings against Iranian consolidation in Syria were realized,” it continued. “The attack was initiated and Israel was forced to respond first to the threat in its territory and then to the hostile elements operating from the Syrian territory opposite it.” A senior official in Israel’s defense establishment on Sunday warned that Iran is determined to entrench itself in Syria and will continue trying to attack Israel. “As far as we are concerned, the event is over but the Iranians are determined to continue to establish themselves in Syria; the next incident is only a matter of time,” he said, warning that Israel does not rule out that the Islamic Republic will continue trying to attack Israel. “We do not know what the mission of the Iranian drone was. It is their most advanced drone and they did not expect our radar to detect its penetration into our territory,” the senior official stated. “Our aerial freedom will not be harmed. We will continue to destroy targets.”

In Jordan, Tillerson notes progress in Mideast peace plan

Tillerson comments on threats from Hezbollah and Syria

US and Iran call on each other to withdraw from Syria

By Tovah Lazaroff, REUTERS February 14, 2018 13:58

He spoke just two days after Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow. The United States has a fairly well advanced Middle East peace plan that has been under development for a number of months, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said on Wednesday during a visit to Jordan. “It'll be up to the president to decide when he feels it's time and he's ready to put that plan forward. I will say it's fairly well advanced, is what I would say,” Tillerson said. “I don't want to get in front of the president or his team that's been working on that,” Tillerson told reporters. “I have seen the plan, the elements of the plan, it's been under development for a number of months. I have consulted with them on the plan, identified areas that we feel need further work,” Tillerson said. He spoke just two days after Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow to seek his backing for an internalization peace process to replace the US as the main interlocutor. In an interview Tillerson gave to Michel Ghandour of Al Hurra TV, he called on the Palestinians to return to the negotiating table. “I understand President [Mahmoud] Abbas, his concern about certain steps and decisions taken by the United States,” Tillerson said. “We hope that President Abbas will find his way back to the table.” The Palestinians have sought to replace the US in the peace process since US President Donald Trump announced that he recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. At the press conference in Jordan, Tillerson said, “President Trump remains committed to seeing a Middle East peace process go forward, and as I indicated I think the decision taken on Jerusalem was about the United States and our recognition of Jerusalem and where we choose to place our embassy," Tillerson said. “But the president was clear, also in his statement and as I just indicated in my statement, that the final status, the final borders in Jerusalem are up to the parties to decide. So it does not preclude a two-state solution if that is the solution the parties seek, the US would support that," Tillerson said. He also called on the 193 United Nations member states to increase their funding to the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees, the bulk of whose $1.2 billion budget comes from only 20 countries. The US is scaling back is annual support of $360 million and so far this year has provided only about $60 million in funds.

The Russian Army Gets a New Tank: Cheap, Sophisticated, and Deadly

2018 is the year the Russian Army will add a new main battle tank (MBT) to its arsenal. The vehicle will eventually replace the aging T-90 and T-90A. At least one tank battalion (31 vehicles) will be reequipped with the new T-90Ms (Proryv-3s) within a period of few months. The lessons of the war in Syria have been learned and that invaluable experience has been put to good use. This vehicle is different from the T-90MS version, which is produced for export, and they should not confused. The T-90M and the T-72B3M, a new machine that was tested during the Zapad 2017 Russian-Belarusian strategic military exercise, will have complementary functions and operate as mainstays of the Russian tank force. They could be used for different types of missions. The T-90M is armed with both a 125mm 2A46M-4 smoothbore cannon, which is capable of firing standard artillery shells, as well as Refleks AT-11 Sniper-B anti-tank guided missiles (ATGM) with a range of 4-5 km. Those can hit helicopters flying at low altitude. They can hold 40 rounds of ammunition. The carousel-type autoloader can carry 22 rounds. A removable turret bustle can store eight additional rounds. The Proryv-3 can fire while moving. A panoramic sight with a thermal imaging system can be used to detect and identify targets. The armament suite also includes a NSVT 12.7mm machine gun (MG) and PKT 7.62mm coaxial MG. A remote control makes it possible to fire the MGs from inside the MBT without exposure to enemy fire. The MBT has a crew of three: a commander, a gunner, and a driver. Its combat weight is 50 tons and ground clearance is 450 mm. The Proryv-3 can reach a speed of 60 km/h with a range of 550 km. The Kalina fire-control system incorporates a multichannel gunner's sight. A target can be identified at a range of 5,000 m. The minimum range for target identification through the thermal channel is 3,500 m. An object can be identified by the rangefinder at 7,500 m. Thanks to its digital communications system, the tank is an important element of a tactical network. The T-90M boasts a new composite armor. The Relikt ERA (Explosive Reactive Armor) covers the front and each side of the all-welded turret to provide protection against tandem warheads and greatly reduce the probability (by over 50%) of penetration by armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding-sabot (APFSDS) rounds. If a bomb is detonated outside of the vehicle, the charge is designed to fire outward, away from the hull and turret of the Proryv-3. The ERA is easy to repair. Its rubber side skirts with built-in armor plates, cage armor and a special net to boost protection, NBC equipment and automatic fire suppression systems all boost its survivability under combat conditions. The interior is lined with spall liner. The Shtora-1 countermeasures system offers protection from anti-tank guided weapons with semi-automatic guidance. The Proryv-3 also sports a magnetic mine detection system that disables mines via an electromagnetic pulse before the vehicle runs them over. The MBT is powered by the new V-92S2F turbocharged multi-fuel diesel engine. It is capable of delivering 1,300 hp. Unlike other engines used to power Russian tanks, this one is comes with an automatic transmission. The T-90M is equipped with an auxiliary power unit that can power all systems whenever the main engine is not operating. The Proryv-3 is fitted with a self-entrenching blade, and an emplacement can be prepared in 12-40 minutes. The tank can be equipped with a mine plow and a deep wading kit, enabling it to ford water obstacles as deep as five meters. The T-90M is one of a kind. It has excellent “layered” armor: the basic armor is made up of varying composite and metal materials installed on top of one another. The explosive that is sandwiched between the two armor plates is what makes ERA really unique. The suite of self-defensive features is fairly robust. All these attributes greatly enhance the Proryv-3’s odds of survivability under contemporary combat conditions against the most sophisticated weapons systems. The use of lasers greatly improves the efficiency of the fire-control system. The unique defensive elements combined with superior firepower makes the new tank a deadly war machine. Uralvagonzavod has something to be proud of. Cheap and deadly, the T-90M really showcases what the Russian defense industry can do.

SUPER-FAST Russian rocket to reach International Space Station in RECORD BREAKING time

A RUSSIAN Soyuz rocket will deliver three tons of food, fuel and other supplies to the Expedition 54 crew on the International Space Station in just 3 and a half hours on Sunday morning.

By Thomas Mackie PUBLISHED: 07:33, Sun, Feb 11, 2018 | UPDATED: 07:39, Sun, Feb 11, 2018

The rocket, which will launch from Kazakhstan at 8.58am, will arrive at the International Space Station at 12:24pm, completing the mission in a record time of 3 hours and 26 minutes. Russia's space agency, Roscosmos, planned the route from Earth to the International Space Station with its last cargo launch of the Progress 68 spacecraft back in October. However, a last-minute delay forced the space agency to postpone the launch which meant that Roscosmos missed the launch window to try out the new, shorter rendezvous, NASA officials confirmed. "If any technical issues are identified by Russian flight controllers in the early stage of the flight, the spacecraft will be capable of defaulting to a standard, two-day rendezvous profile” NASA officials said. Progress cargo ships - who’s purpose is to deliver supplies needed to sustain a human presence in orbit - look a lot like Russia's crewed Soyuz capsules, and the agency has been using the uncrewed spacecraft to send cargo to the International Space Station since 2000. In 2013, Roscosmos cut the two-day travel time to just 6 hours for both Progress and Soyuz capsules, making the flights easier and more bearable for the astronauts and cosmonauts on board. This uncrewed cargo mission plans to deliver three tons of food, fuel and other supplies to the Expedition 54 crew. The record-breaking flight comes just one week after two Russian crew members at the International Space Station, Alexander Misurkin and Anton Shkaplerov, set a record for the longest Russian spacewalk. In another major advancement in Space exploration, just last week SpaceX launched the world's most powerful rocket to the so-called red planet in an incredible moment watched by millions around the globe. The 23-story-tall Falcon Heavy jumbo rocket, carrying a cherry red Tesla Roadster from the assembly line of Musk's electric car company as a mock payload, thundered off its launchpad in billowing clouds of steam and rocket exhaust at 8.45pm from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral. Boisterous cheering could be heard from SpaceX workers at the company's headquarters in Hawthorne, California, as the rocket blasted off. And at least 2,000 spectators cheered the blastoff from a campground near Cocoa Beach, 5 miles (8km) from the space centre. Elon Musk decided to send the electric car into space to make the test launch less “boring”. He said: “Test flights of new rockets usually contain mass simulators in the form of concrete or steel blocks. That seemed extremely boring. “Of course, anything boring is terrible, especially companies, so we decided to send something unusual, something that made us feel. The car, which is being ‘driven’ by a mannequin named Starman, is now destined for an astronomical road-trip to the Red Planet. Unfortunately, while the rocket’s launch and landing were a complete success, Mr Musk later revealed that the Tesla had taken a wrong turn and will now plough straight into an asteroid belt. He tweeted: “Third burn successful. Exceeded Mars orbit and kept going to the Asteroid Belt.”

Passengers Killed on Crashed Russian Plane Allegedly Include Rosatom/UraniumOne Executive and Russian Source for Christopher Steele's "Dossier" against Trump

Category: World News Sunday, 11 February 2018 22:46

As most the world knows by now, a plane crashed in Russia this morning a few minutes after takeoff, killing everyone aboard. As Russian authorities released passenger names on the official Death list, several of those now-deceased names raised immediate "red flags" because they appear to be directly connected to the Hillary Clinton / Barack Obama UraniumOne Conspiracy and to the (fake) "Russian Dossier" used to smear President Trump. Now that they've been caught, it appears to many that "the Deep State" is cleaning house and getting rid of any loose ends who might testify! Sergei Millian, a Belarus-born businessman who briefly worked with the Trump Organization and was reportedly a key source in the explosive dossier alleging ties between President Donald Trump and Russia, was in the spotlight following release of testimony before the House Intelligence Committee. Glenn Simpson, who cofounded the opposition research firm Fusion GPS, told lawmakers that a trip Trump Organization representatives took to Moscow several years ago had come onto the firm's radar as part of their research into Trump's business history. The trip was organized by Sergei Millian, Simpson said. He said Millian "came up in connection with Chris' work as one of the people around Trump who had a Russian background." Chris is a reference to Christopher Steele, the former British intelligence officer hired by Fusion to research Trump's Russia ties. (Story continues below Ad) This Russian Businessman Sergei Millian allegedly goes by another name; Sergey Panchenko. Sergey Panchenko just happens to be one of the dead passengers in today's Russian plane crash that killed 71 people. Also dead in today's plane crash is Ivanov Vyacheslav allegedly of Rosatom/UraniumONE who was involved in Hillary's Uranium One deal with Russia back in 2009 under Barack Obama. There are other names on the list which correspond to other persons in UraniumOne and in high-level Russian government circles such as Oil and Energy development. These names are being verified and additional news stories will be published about them. For now, at least two people known to be directly involved the UraniumOne "deal" and the Russian Dossier are now apparently dead and cannot testify to anyone about anything. How convenient. I can now show you via the image above that the man whose face is circled is the alleged Rosatom Executive that MULTIPLE SOURCES have claimed to me, was targeted in the deadly plane crash that left 71 dead in Russia. Here is the alleged victim's Linked-In Profile: Direct Link: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vyacheslav-ivanov-151513  For those of you who don't know what Rosatom is, it's the Russian nuclear company involved in Hillary's Uranium One deal in 2009 in the early part of the Obama administration. Many sources with whom I have spoken are claiming the plane crash to be "a hit" and the rumor mill is running wild alleging Hillary and the US Deep State was willing to kill 71 individuals to cover their tracks with Uranium One...Possibly making sure that Rosatom's Executive reportedly killed in the plane crash couldn't testify against Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton and those connected to her APPEAR TO SOME PEOPLE to be trying to protect themselves from being held accountable in one of the largest acts of betrayal against America.

Forbes FBI/DOJ Corruption Article Mysteriously Vanishes - Did The Deep State Disappear Definitive Timeline Off Established MSM Website

By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine February 11, 2018

The original article still shows up in Google search results, at least for the time being, as shown in the screen shot below, but clicking those Forbes' links brings us to the same 404 error page: ForbesTimelineDeletedArticle2.jpg Cached and archived version are available, because the nothing can truly be disappeared off the internet once it goes viral, and this story did, with over 150,000 views on Forbes before they mysteriously deleted it, and more on Mr. Del Beccaro's own website, Political Vanguard, where the article continues to be updated as new relevant information becomes public. Mr. Del Beccaro shared his Forbes link via Twitter on February 5, 2018, and by February 7th, he was responding to a multitude of users that were saying the article vanished, by linking to his own website, stating "Thanks so much!! Here is the new home for the piece http://www.PoliticalVanguard.com  . http://politicalvanguard.com/biased-fbi-and-doj-officials-broke-the-law-and-tried-to-decide

-the-election-an-annotated-timeline/  …. PLS Share." The article is so detailed and sourced with hyperlinks to his assertions, showing the deep rot within the FBI and DOJ that attempted to subvert the will of the American people using their positions of power to clear Hillary Clinton of criminal charges in her private email server and sharing classified information on the unsecured server, while framing Donald Trump for the "Russian collusion" narrative, that high profile members of the media, such as chief political columnist of Politico Roger Simon, called it an "ABSOLUTE MUST READ> Best overall analysis of FBI/DOJ scandal so far with timeline," and Glenn Reynolds from InstaPundit highlighted it, with other Twitter users referring to the piece by saying "great to see journalism is not completely dead," and many, many more complimentary comments about it. It truly is a must-read for all the information, laid out via a timeline, showing the insidious corruption within the Obama administration, the Clinton campaign and senior members of the FBI/DOJ, so it is highly recommended to read the entire piece, but the question here, is why did Forbes delete a piece that was garnering so much public attention, that was well sourced, providing their audience with a facts the liberal mainstream media will not report on? Forbes offers the standard disclaimer on the original, now deleted article, as can be seen on the archived and cached version taken from the Forbes site, which states "Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own," so from a business standpoint, deleting the article without explanation, makes no business sense, as it was bringing in ad revenue. It is sourced with both liberal media links like The Politico, CNN, CBS News, New York Times, and NPR, and with conservative media links like Fox News, National Review and Washington Examiner, along with source links to Real Clear Politics and The Hill, which offer more balance. The conclusions offered after the outstanding timeline are the writer's opinion of the events he documented, but the very definition of an op-ed is "opinion editorial," so the Forbes disclaimer reflects those opinions are those of the writer, so we have to wonder who forced Forbes to remove the article, one that was highly praised by a number of people, readers and professional writers and commentators alike? Previous examples of Forbes deleting articles show conclusively that Forbes does allow the publication to be intimidated by other entities, such as Google, as shown in a September 2017 article at Boing Boing, titled "Forbes removed article critical of Google after it asked nastily." After the meeting, I approached Google’s public relations team ...The press office confirmed it, though they preferred to say the Plus button “influences the ranking.” They didn’t deny what their sales people told me: If you don’t feature the +1 button, your stories will be harder to find with Google. ... Google never challenged the accuracy of the reporting. Instead, a Google spokesperson told me that I needed to unpublish the story because the meeting had been confidential, and the information discussed there had been subject to a non-disclosure agreement between Google and Forbes. (I had signed no such agreement, hadn’t been told the meeting was confidential, and had identified myself as a journalist.) It escalated quickly from there. I was told by my higher-ups at Forbes that Google representatives called them saying that the article was problematic and had to come down. The implication was that it might have consequences for Forbes, a troubling possibility given how much traffic came through Google searches and Google News. Forbes' Terms of Service do state that "Forbes reserves the right to delete, move or edit any submission at any time, for any reason or in its discretion, but has no obligation to review or remove any such content," but that does not explain why this specific piece was removed, which was generating a much-needed conversation via social media and other platforms, about the abuses conducted by corrupt individuals within the Obama administration and high level officials within the FBI and DOJ, which is all public knowledge now as multiple investigations are uncovering more and more every day. Del Beccaro's bottom line conclusions after detailing the timeline of events that occurred from 2015 up until after the 2016 presidential election, clearly shows why certain entities did not want this article to remain up, as he explains what the timeline of events indicates to him about how the Hillary Clinton investigation was rigged, how senior members of the FBI created the "insurance policy" to damage an incoming president with the "Russian collusion" storyline, and how those and other top level intelligence community officials used unverified information to obtain FISA warrants, where Del Beccaro ends his conclusions with the following statements: Watergate did not involve the DOJ and the FBI – two institutions which must be non-partisans for this Republic of ours. This case does involve the FBI and DOJ. It also is foolish not to assume that Loretta Lynch and President Obama were ignorant of the goings on – if not involved in them. Finally, the dishonest investigation of Hillary who committed actual crimes should not be acceptable. Nor should FBI or DOJ officials be allowed to alter events and Court proceedings for political purposes. If we let this go, and people are not brought to justice, we will have forever damaged our Republic and the World’s view of us as a nation of laws. That ladies and gentlemen is the problem, the deep state can't have an established member of the liberal media, demanding justice for the corruption during the Obama administration and the crooked members of the deep state itself within the intelligence community, because then they cannot label the Independent Media as "conspiracy theorists" for highlighting and demanding the same thing. BOTTOM LINE While not right, it is understandable if the big tech companies go after smaller Independent Media sites, sometimes there is no choice but to comply if something violates terms of service, such as missing videos, which Google will then claim since it is no longer available the publisher is "misleading" the public by referencing it in an article, when generally it was Google's video platform YouTube that deleted the video to begin with. Those are the games big tech play to force compliance when a smaller website refuses to toe the "official narrative" line and goes against Google's ideology, but Forbes has been around since 1917, it is an established household name, so removing such an important article about ongoing events within our own intelligence communities, showing corruption within the highest level of the U.S. government, with absolutely no explanation, is unacceptable.

One of the most definitive Annotated timelines, of "Biased FBI and DOJ Officials Broke The Law And Tried To Decide The Election," published at Forbes on February 5, 2018, by Thomas Del Beccaro, who is an op-ed contributor at Forbes, has mysteriously disappeared off of Forbes website two days after it was published. No editors note has been offered explaining why the article vanished off the website, the URL simply brings up a 404 error. Previously deleted articles from Forbes have offered notification at the URL as to why an article was removed, as shown by a note from a piece deleted back in 2015:

Hardcore Reality: Everything You Have Prepared So Far Will Be Pushed To The Limits And Beyond When SHTF

In the following article, Selco of SHTF School delves even further, detailing real-life scenarios, training tactics and other key information that will undoubtedly help save your life should the streets of America turn into a war zone. Pay attention because this no idealized collapse scenario – it’s reality. Selco is from the Balkan region, where from 92 to 95 the Bosnian War destroyed everything and for 1 whole year he lived and survived in a city without electricity, fuel, running water, real food distribution, or distribution of any goods, or any kind of organized law or government. When SHTF nobody told me how hard is gonna be and what things I will have to do to survive, there was no training or simulations, through most of the stuff I was going for the first time in my life, and I was hoping it is only temporary situation, it is not going to last for whole year. Few events opened my eyes, and somehow make me survivor right at the beginning, and I can say I have the luck to understand in very early stage how hard it is, and what it takes. During one of the first bigger events of killing in the streets, I was out together with my friend who also was a medical professional. Fire from machine guns was on people who were standing in front of the main city bread factory, and people started to scream and run over each other. My first impulse was to run to nearest cover but my friend got down to help some lady, so I stayed one meter next to him. I was confused about my decision and not sure to stay with him or run. Bullets from machine gun hit him over his legs, and I saw how his kneecap exploded, it looked like some bad movie special effect. He just looked at his legs, then at me, in silence. Even that was just seconds moments like this feel very long. Also read: During the Collapse: Know Your Enemy Part 1 – The Unprepared Neighbor I took him by the hands and drag him some 20 or 30 meters to safety. Only there I saw that he was missing his leg under the knee. It stayed with the dead lady on the street. And only then he started to scream. I used a belt to stop bleeding, ambulance still worked in that period. He went to the hospital and then evacuated from the city. He survived but never came back. Lessons learned?

In moments of chaos always listen to your instincts and do not hesitate. Especially if you are involved in a situation when someone is shooting at you with high caliber machine gun. Just accept that people will die, and you have to survive. To help others is a great thing, to survive is even better, also I realized that human being is so fragile and easy to destroy. Later I learned some things about weapons and how to use them, so I realize that more firepower does not necessarily mean more dangerous and better chance to kill. Owning a weapon is just absolutely necessary if you are preparing for a survival scenario, even more in urban survival. You just need to go and get as close as you can to the real stuff while you are doing the preparing and training for the SHTF, so it makes sense to go out and check your preps, to check your gear and yourself. For example pair of boots that you bought and store for bad days will not be used for walking only, it will be used for running, squatting, jumping, in mud, junk, blood, guts maybe or just running through a shallow river. Everything that you have prepared and stored for SHTF will be pushed to the limits. One thing is to go out into woods nearby and do a recording of your weapon testing on some beer bottles with your friends, and after that concluding that particular gun or rifle is best for SHTF and that you are a dangerous dude because of your accuracy rules. Some people gonna put that clip on youtube and go home convinced that they are ready and prepared. In reality, you do not know if you are prepared. A lot of survival stores that sell things sell the idea of buy this and you are safe. No, you are not. Also, you learn more about real urban survival scenario in my survival course and this helps you to mentally be better prepared but real deal when SHTF always comes as surprise. When the time comes again it gonna hit everyone like a hammer. Good news is that when you know you will get hit like that you can recover fast and use your skills, knowledge, and preps to make best out of the situation. Using weapon in real life, in real survival situation is something absolutely different from shooting beer bottles, and if you could do some real training that is realistic that would be maybe going to camping with trash bag as a tent, being on camping for 10 days with 10 small cans of food, and 10 liters of water, walking every day for 10 km. Related article: Blunt Reality: This Is What You Will Face If You Fail To Prep Accordingly And then on the 11th day run few kilometers and then shoot and see how accurate you are when your body is wasting away. And still, the most important thing is missing. While you are shooting at the beer bottles they do not shoot back at you in order to kill you. During some of the first battles in the city I was moving through the building behind a guy, we both had rifles. He was sweeping the rooms and shooting, it was the closest urban combat as it can be. In the moment when he runs out of ammo, he used his rifle as something between spear and bat. Now someone could say why he did not just switch to a pistol? He did not have one, also he did not have time to look for ammo. But there I learned how it is useful to have folded stock of rifle when shooting and moving in very confined spaces. Also, I learned that rifle with pretty sharp parts at the barrel can be very handy. He stabbed the guy to the cheek, ripping his face down and finishing him on the ground. One of the biggest misconceptions at the people who do not have fighting experience is what they need to practice. It is all about pressure. You need to learn: 1. What your weapon can take In terms of kicking, throwing, how often and when will it malfunction, and what the most common malfunctions are, and how to fix it, of course how to fix it in middle of the fight. If you find yourself in the middle of fighting, and your weapon “jams” does not be as we called “zblesavljen” or in English is probably looking like an idiot. I have seen that: a guy is shooting and in the middle of fighting his weapon jammed, and he surprisingly look at the weapon in a “what the f#ck?” state. And of course, in two seconds he ends up dead. You absolutely need to know how to manage small weapon jams without looking at the weapon, you need to look at the target while you are “repairing” weapon (clearing the bullet, switching to other magazines etc.) Other option would be to MOVE immediately when your weapon jams, move to cover in the same second or to drop it on the ground, or on your back and switch to your other weapon. But you need to learn to do all of above without thinking. You need to train that this becomes automatic. Small things like how quickly you can put your rifle on your back and a switch to pistol can be the difference between life and death if you somehow “trip” yourself while you are trying to put the rifle on your back in order to take pistol you can end up dead. 2. What you can take Remember this: while you are shooting at the bad guys, those bad guys will be SHOOTING AT YOU TOO. So shooting at the beer bottles in the woods with your buddies will not really do all the training you need. I am doing it often, but it just not covering everything. Fighting and surviving combat means constant moving and outsmarting the guys on the other side, you gonna need to run, squat, throw yourself in the ditch, lay down in all kinds of sh!t and shoot at the same time, and probably fix your rifle from jams, or switch to another weapon. Do some basic weapon training and learn about line of sight and how to get out off it. Very great percentage of shooting is done without aiming, just spraying bullets. It makes sense to do some airsoft or paintball in the woods to check how constant moving change whole game, and what kind of moving makes sense in order to survive a gunfight. For example how often you shoot from your weapon with both hands, dominant and not dominant? In urban fighting, you will need switch weapon around very often (moving through the apartments, rooms, around the corners etc.). When you are shooting behind a corner, and you are having the rifle in your right hand and corner is on your left side it makes sense to transfer the weapon to left hand. otherwise, it is dangerous to stick your left part of the body out in order to shoot form right hand. For all you who have some military experience, this all is basic stuff, but I have seen many guys who were killed in stupid ways. A real gunfight is a dynamic thing. Adrenaline is a weird thing too, so people can do tremendous things while adrenaline is pumping, but also with lack of training and common sense guy can do tremendously stupid things. I have seen a man who was pointing to something and he stood up from the cover and got shot. 3. How to train yourself Training is the key. You can not do anything else today except to train very hard. You can not experience real stuff today of course, but you can take it as close to real stuff as you can. Go out with your friends and think about all possible scenarios. But think about worst case scenarios. SHTF is not gonna wait for nice and sunny weather, you gonna be maybe hungry, dirty. Maybe have to give up your shelter and food storage on the second day of SHTF. Or you gonna be forced to use other weapons that you are not used to. Maybe you gonna be forced to hide for hours hidden under a pile of rubble and then you are gonna be forced to jump out and “kill” ten beer bottles. Sounds like fun? This is why resilience and mental strength is so important. Maybe you are gonna be cold and thirsty and in the middle of the battle. One thing is sure – very rarely it goes the way that you planned. So just be ready for many options and do not panic when things go another way. Want to get some funny sounding advice? Get good at suffering while still being able to work towards a goal. 4. What weapon, caliber, stopping power etc? It is a very hard question (that I get asked a lot). But think about fact that everything today is about mainstream and commercial. And somehow it is more about what other people say is good and not necessarily about what you need and what is good for YOU. You and your hand kill, the weapon is only a tool. I have seen a fight when a man with a knife is killing the guy with a rifle. He had mastered fighting with a knife and had the will to kill. Other guy had a rifle only, and he ends up dead. I also saw more than once people shot with rifle bullets still fighting, running for good amount of time. Some of them were not even aware that they are wounded before someone else pointed that out to them. What I am trying to say, do not expect miracles if you own a weapon that is at the moment most popular, having great stopping power, cool reviews. It is about practicing, weapon mastering and correct bullets placement. I said bullets for a reason, I have seen many things, but I did not see someone survive multiple shots in the correct place at the body. Have a weapon that is best for your case, and achieve perfection in using it. Do not expect that people will fly back if you shoot them with one bullet from some widely popular weapon and caliber (not talking about shotguns). So I am not gonna tell you what is the best weapon because what works for me maybe does not work for you or others. Having a weapon that is too rare, too good or too bad does not make too much sense for me. Do not find yourself in a situation when you lose your weapon and pick someone else and then find out that you do not have clue about it because your weapon was special and rare. Just have what everyone else around you has, because of gun parts, ammo and you look like everyone else. Your weapon is the only tool to survive, be ready to lose it if you need to lose it, and pick some other from the ground in the middle of the fight. I knew a guy who did some scary stuff with rusty shortened M48. He was old and poor looking dude, he played that part well until he would take out this old gun from under his coat and rob and kill people. Simple strategy but it worked for him. So look around and think what works for you.

Michael Savage accurately predicted what was coming.

World War I was triggered by the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand and set into motion a chain of events which killed tens of millions of people. In a similar fashion, the release of the FISA memo(s) is triggering a similar cataclysm. Mark my words, the globalists would rather rather destroy the planet than let the rising tide of populism around the world to proliferate as it leads to meaningful political and social change. The Stock Market Collapse It is a well-established fact that in the days leading up to the 1929 Stock Market collapse, the elite were withdrawing their money and this hastened the collapse of the American economy as the effects of the Great Depression spread throughout the world. We are living in very similar times. The fact is that the current release of the #memo has triggered a withdrawal, by the elite of stock market funds, through sell-offs, which is causing the market to set an all-time record for losses in the same day. Make no mistake about it, this is a direct assault upon Trump and the American people. Even before the release of the #memo, we saw the Deep State attempt to pull off an attempted mass murder event upon a train carrying dozens of GOP members. I promptly recognized this attack for what it was and immediately reported on it. I know I was correct in this assumption becaue Youtube banned this video even while it was uploading. I was not the only one to anticipate Deep State attacks because the economy was showing signs of life and the American people were starting to believe. However, even men of peace like Franklin Graham saw the coming danger and the direct threat to President Trump. I reported on this over a week ago. The #Memo Is Crushing the Deep State and They Reacted Accordingly The Deep State has invested themselves into the Democratic Party. The Deep Statea and the Democrats, they are one in the same. People are backing away from the Deep State, because they have withdrawn financial support for the Democrats. What is going on? What is going is that the Democrats are dead in the water. The Democrats are dead broke. Their donor base is drying up. When George Soros was in Davos, he threatened Trump and basically said his populism would fail. Mike Adams, Alex Jones, Peter Schiff, Michael Savage Are All Saying the Civil War Has Begun In a stunning article, Michael Adams tied together the quotes of notables from the Independent Media. All of the following quotes point to the same direction, namely, the Civil War has begun. Health Ranger (2016): “Globalists are setting up the perfect storm of financial apocalypse to be unleashed once Trump takes office…” Alex Jones- For those of you who supported Trump, his antics are the reason why the stock market is down. Peter Schiff: “the Fed would be happy to see a bear market… blamed on Trump” Michael Savage: “Trump’s stirring SOTU speech last week was so great that even CBS admitted 75 percent of the people who watched it approved of it and loved it. So what happened right afterwards? The Establishment, meaning the ‘Deep State,’ call it whatever you want, went into overdrive to destroy Trump, or try to destroy him, where he is strongest, because they couldn’t get him where they thought he was weakest. So they are taking the market down. They are trying to hurt you. They are the enemies of the average American. Make no mistake about it, they are going for you! These people are so evil and so power-drunk that they’d burn the nation to the ground rather than let Donald Trump live another day in office.” Conclusion The only things the globalists haven’t done is to bioengineer the flu and start WWIII in order to dstract the masses from the release of the memo(s) that implicate so many of them. Correction: The only thing that the globalists have not done is to start World War III. There is nothing that they will not do to prevent further exposure. And they damn sure will not allow themselves to face justice, no matter how many have to die.

Shrinkflation Intensifies – Stealth Inflation As Thousands of Food Products Shrink In Size, Not Price

by GoldCore Mon, 02/05/2018 - 07:47

- Shrinkflation continues to take hold across UK, Ireland and US for sixth year running

- Shrinkflation sees consumers gets less product, but at the same or increased price

- 2,500 products have shrunk according to Office of National Statistics in UK

- Reported inflation is between 1.7% and 3% but actually much higher

- Shrinkflation is financial fraud, unreported inflation in stealth mode

- Gold is hedging inflation and shrinkflation

Credit: Alastair Grant via The Telegraph Your wallet might still be feeling the pinch after Christmas. Shrinkflation means this is likely to continue. Now in its sixth (official) year the phenomenon that sees you get less product for the same price is beginning to be covered more frequently. Another example of this came last week when McVitie's biscuits, some of the most popular digestive biscuits in the UK and Ireland, saw a 20% cut in volume, but not in price. Officially, inflation is pretty low across the developed world. In the US, it is so low (1.8%) that it is proving to be a cause for concern for policy wonks. It is 1.7% in the EU and in the UK it is at 3%. None of those readings are a true reflection of where prices really are and how much the cost of living has increased. One of the best measures of inflation is shrinkflation. We've written about it before in reference to Toblerones and toilet rolls. This time, its all about the Brits' and Irish precious McVitie's Digestive biscuits. Last month the manufacturer announced they were shrinking the packet a 500g packet of 34 biscuits down to 400g. The price will be 10p less, but this is nowhere near the 20% cut in product amount. McVitie's insists the quality is the same. The reduction in biscuits is thanks to rising raw ingredient and manufacturing costs. Rather than increase the price onto customers they have decided to maintain quality, but with fewer biscuits. When the UK's rate of inflation fell from 3.1% to 3% last month, many economists and financial commentators were quick to point out that this was evidence that the era of low inflation had not yet come to an end. The problem is inflation measures as published by central banks and campaigned upon by governments, do not give markets a real portrayal of how much living really does cost. Shrinkflation is a real indicator of inflation Just a simple glance at a packet of biscuits gives you more information than any RPI or CPI reading can. For example, in the case of the digestive biscuits, under the RRP of £1.25 for the 500g packet, each biscuit cost roughly 0.037 pence. Now, the price is under the RRP of £1.15 for the 400g packet, which means each biscuit costs roughly 0.043 pence. McVitie's is just one in a long line (2,500 to be exact) of food and other household items that have fallen victim to the invisible inflation ray that has so far eluded the sights of so many economists. In the last four years Snickers, Toblerone and KitKat have each shrunk by at least 20% in size, not always accompanied by a matching price change. A bag of Snickers Bites rocketed from 74p per 100g to £1.26, up 70.9 per cent, whilst a four-finger KitKat bar lost just 3g in weight, dropping from 45g to 42g, a difference of 7.8 per cent, yet 100g of the snack soared by 62.7 per cent, from 89p to £1.45. The two main culprits of rising prices, according to the manufacturers is the cost of raw materials and the weak pound, which makes imports more expensive. Obviously the pound has gained in strength recently and the European import price of sugar has been falling since the middle of 2014, and reached a record low in March 2017, but consumers shouldn't expect these to make much difference. Food manufactures do not want to be seen bowing down to rising costs and passing them onto consumers. It's obviously bad for business as most food items have straight forward substitutes to which consumers have few qualms when it comes to switching to. Yet there is also a growing view amongst the consumers that 'rich' manufacturers should not pass on rising costs to the poor consumer. It is bad PR basically. But the manufacturer does still have to run a profitable business. Hence why shrinkflation is such a common phenomenon. They have been accused of lacking innovative ideas by Clive Black, head of research at Shore Capital. Speaking at the Food Manufacturer's Business Forum Black told leaders shrinkflation should be the last resort. He asked whether shrinkflation is "an admittance of a lack of innovation, a lack of capability to add value to a product and keep it relevant in consumers’ minds?”​It seems to me that manufacturers are perhaps showing little innovation but more likely they have little choice. Margins are being squeezed, uncertainty is rife when it comes to which manufacturers the Brexit deal will leave you able to work with and costs are rising despite statistics telling you otherwise. The BBC has recently tried to argue that a decrease in product size sometimes means sees a bigger fall in price. However when looking at their analysis it is clear to see that products which did not increase in price were mainly those in ‘bulk buy’ or large pack products. This just shows that economies of scale makes margins less stringent. This is perhaps the only place where 'innovation' can currently be seen. Ultimately a smaller pack size does mean a higher price. How to protect yourself from the rising of living This is a bit like the Emperor's New Clothes scenario. We can all see inflation is happening in front of our very eyes, yet economists and central banks are telling us the opposite. Shrinkflation is happening and real inflation is much higher than is being reported. Your purchasing power and your wealth can be preserved from the ravages of shrinkflation. Investments such as gold and silver by their very nature are immune to the shrinkflation effect and are an important hedge against it. Gold prices in GBP (10 Years) via GoldCore Next time you’re considering that packet of biscuits at the supermarket checkout, just imagine how much is missing compared to when you would have bought it say 10 years ago, or anytime before the financial crisis. Then consider how much a bar of gold would have changed since then. The fact is that it hasn’t. You would still have the same sized gold bars (1 oz), with the same gold content or purity and they are worth a lot more now than they were 10, 15 or 20 years ago.

Hezbollah: Downing of Israeli F-16 Marks 'Start of New Strategic Phase'

Iran calls Israeli drone claims 'ridiculous'; Russia calls to respect Syrian sovereignty following Israeli strikes

Jack Khoury and Reuters Feb 11, 2018 8:25 AM

Hezbollah said that an Israeli F-16 was shot down on Saturday marks the "start of a new strategic phase," in an official statement released on Saturday. The comments come after multiple Israeli strikes on Syrian and Iranian targets in Syria, following a downing of an Iranian drone which entered Israeli airspace, and a downing of an Israeli F-16 by Syrian air defenses. Hezbollah condemned Israeli aggression, stating that exploitation of Syrian airspace will be limited. "Today's developments mean the old equations have categorically ended," said the statement. Moscow also expressed serious concerns about the latest developments in Syria and called on the sides to exercise restraint and avoid an escalation of the situation, the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Saturday. "We urge all sides to exercise restraint and to avoid any actions that could lead to an even greater complication of the situation," the ministry said in a statement. "It is necessary to unconditionally respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Syria and other countries in the region." Iran, meanwhile, issued its first official response to the events, with its Foreign Ministry rejecting as "ridiculous" reports that Israel had intercepted an Iranian drone launched from Syria. "Reports of downing an Iranian drone flying over Israel and also Iran's involvement in attacking an Israeli jet are so ridiculous ... Iran only provides military advice to Syria," TV quoted Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qasemi as saying. Earlier on Saturday, the pro-Assad military alliance, which includes Iran and Hezbollah, warned Israel that any new act of what it called "terrorism" will be met with a "severe and serious response." The statement said that Israel claims the drone entered Israeli airspace are "a lie," adding that the drones were being used to combat the Islamic State. A senior official was quoted in the statement saying he does not believe matters will develop into a regional war. Meanwhile, the deputy head of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards Corps declined to comment on the drone incident, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported. "We cannot confirm this report on the drone because Israelis are liars ... if Syrians confirm it, Iran will confirm it as well," Brigadier General Hossein Salami said, according to Tasnim. On Saturday, Israel targeted 12 sites around Damascus after an Israeli F-16 was downed. According to the Israeli army, Syrian anti-aircraft missiles targeted the jet after Israel responded to the infiltration of an Iranian drone with a strike in Syria. The two F-16 pilots ejected as the plane went down in northern Israel. The pilots were taken to the hospital in stable condition. One of the pilots is in serious condition. Following the downing of the jet Israel responded with a fresh "large-scale strike" in Syria. An Israeli military spokesman said that Syria and Iran are "playing with fire" and will pay a heavy price. The Prime Minister's Office has instructed cabinet ministers not to speak publicly about the events on the northern border.

WATCH: Israel downs Iranian drone, destroys its operating base

Israel strikes Iranian targets in Syria, IAF pilots eject F-16

Israel warns: Iran and Syria are playing with fire

By REUTERS February 10, 2018 14:38

Footage released by the IDF shows Israel's reaction to airspace violation. JERUSALEM/BEIRUT - Israel launched heavy air strikes in Syria on Saturday, saying it hit air defenses and Iranian targets, and the Syrian army claimed to have brought down an Israeli F-16 that crashed in northern Israel in a major escalation of tension. The Israeli military said early assessments indicated the jet had been shot down by Syrian fire, but this was still unconfirmed. It marked the most serious confrontation yet in Syria between Israel and Iranian and Iran-backed forces that have established a major foothold in the country while fighting in support of President Bashar Assad in the civil war. Israel said the F-16 crashed during a mission to strike Iranian drone installations in Syria. It said it sent its jets into Syria after shooting down an Iranian drone over Israeli territory earlier on Saturday. The military alliance fighting in support of Assad denied any of its drones had entered Israeli air space. In a statement, it said Israel had targeted an air base in the Homs desert that is being used to fly drones in missions against Islamic State. Such "terrorist action" by Israel would be met with a "severe and serious response," it said. The Israeli military spokesman said Israel did not seek escalation in the region, calling its action a "defensive effort triggered by an Iranian act of aggression." Iran's expanding clout during Syria's nearly seven-year-long war, including deployments of Iran-backed forces near the Golan frontier, has raised alarm in Israel, which has said it would act against any threat from its regional arch-enemy Tehran. Iranian and Iran-backed Shi'ite forces, including Lebanon's Hezbollah, have deployed widely in support of Assad. Iran's military chief warned Israel last October against breaching Syrian airspace and territory. Israel's air force has targeted Syrian military and Hezbollah targets in Syria on an almost regular basis, but its attacks on Saturday appeared to be the most intense yet. Referring to the downed Israeli F-16, an official in the pro-Assad alliance said a "message" had been delivered to Israel. "I do not believe matters will develop to a regional war," the official said. US HAWKISH ON IRAN In Washington, President Donald Trump’s administration has backed Israel’s hawkish stance on Iran, and declared containing Tehran's influence an objective of its Syria policy. On a visit to Israel last month, US Vice President Mike Pence called Iran the world’s "leading state sponsor of terror." US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is also expected to visit the region in the coming week to discuss the crisis in Syria and other issues, and is scheduled to visit Jordan, Turkey, Lebanon and other countries. Hezbollah and Israel last fought a major conflict in 2006. Tensions have also spiked across the frontier between Israel and Lebanon over Israeli plans for border wall, and Lebanese plans to exploit an offshore energy block which is partly located in disputed waters. The Israeli military said 12 targets, including three aerial defense batteries and four Iranian targets that are part of Iran's military establishment in Syria were attacked. "During the attack, anti-aircraft missiles were fired towards Israel, triggering alarms that were heard in Northern Israel," the military said. Syrian state media reported two separate Israeli attacks. In the first one, a military source said Syrian air defenses had opened fire in response to an Israeli act of "aggression" against a military base, hitting "more than one plane." Later, state media said air defenses were responding to a new Israeli assault and air defenses had thwarted attacks on military positions in southern Syria. Israel said one of its attack helicopters shot down an Iranian drone at around 4.30am (0230 GMT) that had come from Syria into Israel. "In response, the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) targeted Iranian targets in Syria," the military said.

"MASSIVE" ANTI-AIRCRAFT FIRE Israeli military spokesman Jonathan Conricus said a "substantial" number of Israeli warplanes on the mission had come under "massive Syrian anti-air fire," and only one Israeli jet was harmed. The F-16 came down in a field near the northern Israeli village of Harduf, television footage showed, and one of the pilots was injured as they ejected, the military said. David Ivry, a former Israeli Air Force chief, told Reuters he believed it was the first time an Israeli F-16 was brought down since Israel began using the jets in the 1980s. "We don't know if the pilots ejected because of the (Syrian) fire," Conricus said. It was also unclear at what stage of the mission they ejected, he said, "but it is of extreme concern to us if they were shot down." The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Israel had targeted areas in the countryside southwest of Damascus, near the Syrian-Lebanon border west of Damascus and in the eastern countryside of Homs province for several hours since dawn. It said another set of raids hit southwest of Damascus, and another struck around the Damascus-Beirut highway near the border with Lebanon. In Israel, uniformed military personnel could be seen gathered around the burnt and tangled metal in Harduf by mid-morning, with what appeared to be white foam on the surrounding grass. Others knelt in the grass, inspecting pieces of the jet. Rocket alert sirens sounded in the Israeli-held Golan Heights and in northern Israel. There were no reports of casualties. Flights in to Israel's main airport near Tel Aviv were suspended for about 15 minutes and take-offs were held for about 20 minutes on Saturday morning. "Ben Gurion Airport is now operating as usual," Israeli Airport Authority spokesman Ofer Lefler said. The airport's online live flight schedule showed flights were departing and landing.

Israelis, Palestinians uninterested in U.S.-brokered peace efforts, Trump says

By Carlo Muñoz - The Washington Times - Sunday, February 11, 2018

President Trump said Israelis and Palestinians remain unwilling to pursue any U.S.-led effort to forge a peace deal, issuing rare criticism of the Jewish state. Mr. Trump characterized a lack of enthusiasm on both sides for brokering peace as “foolish,” accusing both of squandering an opportunity to end the decades-long conflict. “Right now, I would say the Palestinians are not looking to make peace, they are not looking to make peace. And I am not necessarily sure that Israel is looking to make peace. So we are just going to have to see what happens,” Mr. Trump said Sunday during an interview with the Israel Hayom newspaper. “I think it is very foolish for the Palestinians and I also think it would be very foolish for the Israelis if they don’t make a deal. It’s our only opportunity and it will never happen after this,” he added during the interview, which also focused on his administration’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the Israeli capital. The Trump White House infuriated the Arab world in December with its proclamation on Jerusalem and its intention to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel to the holy city. “Jerusalem is and always will be the capital of Palestine,” Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said during an emergency meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Istanbul, shortly after the White House announcement. Characterizing the White House’s policy shift on Jerusalem as “the greatest crime” committed by Washington against Palestinians, Mr. Abbas said the U.S. no longer could play a role in the Middle East peace process. During his first State of the Union speech last month, Mr. Trump issued a thinly-veiled threat to nations who have voiced opposition to U.S. efforts in Jerusalem. “In 2016, American taxpayers generously sent those same countries more than $20 billion dollars in aid,” he said. “That is why, tonight, I’m asking the Congress to pass legislation to help ensure American foreign-assistance dollars always serve American interests — and only go to friends of America, not enemies of America.” Administration officials already have vowed to block future financial aid to the Palestinian Authority unless Palestinians agree to peace talks with Israel. But Sunday, Mr. Trump walked back claims his administration had taken Jerusalem off the table, reiterating that the city’s borders would be determined through bilateral peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians. “By taking Jerusalem off the table I wanted to make it clear that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and as for specific boundaries, I would support what both sides agreed to,” he said Sunday. Other nations, most recently Russia, have recognized Jerusalem as the Israeli capital, but noted those borders only extend to the western part of the city, Mr. Mneimneh explained. That delineation has always been taken in anticipation of East Jerusalem being the capital of a future Palestinian state. Mr. Trump also cautioned Israel from pursuing more settlements in disputed areas within the Palestinian territories, saying such efforts would further impede efforts to get peace talks on track. “The settlements are something that very much complicates and always have complicated making peace,” he said. “I think Israel has to be very careful with the settlements.”

Israel to be key player in the next chapter of Syria’s war

Preparing for war in the north, Israel boosts air defenses

Syrians suffering under Iranian-supported regime praise Israel’s strikes

By Anna Ahronheim February 11, 2018 18:58

For Israel, the next chapter in Syria’s war will be a nightmare scenario.

The incident on Israel’s northern border on Saturday was not only a significant event for Israel, but a serious incident that shows how the disastrous war in Syria is far from over, A new chapter in fact is just beginning, with Israel poised to be a central character. Since the intervention of the Russians and the Iranian- backed Shi’ite militias including Hezbollah, the tide has turned in favor of Syrian President Bashar Assad, who has become more brazen as he regains control over more territory. Early on Saturday morning, an advanced Iranian drone believed to be a copy of a US stealth drone that was downed in Iran in 2011, drone took off from the T4 airbase deep in the Syrian province of Homs. The drone was spotted by Israel and was intercepted near the town of Beit She’an by an Apache attack helicopter after it had flown 1.5 minutes into Israeli territory. In response, Israeli F-16 fighter jets took off to strike the launch site and were met by massive Syrian antiaircraft fire, over 20 missiles launched from SA-5 and SA-17 batteries. The pilots of one of the F16s ejected from their jet, which crashed in the lower Galilee. It is assumed that the jet was hit by shrapnel by the Syrian antiaircraft fire. It was the first time in 30 years that an Israeli jet was lost in a combat situation. This led to an extensive retaliation by Israel with additional strikes against both the Syrian missile batteries and Iranian military targets. According to IAF chief of air staff Brig.-Gen. Tomer Bar, the second in command of Israel’s air force, it was the most extensive Israeli attack against Syrian air defenses since 1982. Syria’s army was almost decimated over the course of the deadly civil war, with some questioning how “Syrian Arab” is the Syrian Arab Army, which is propped up by some 80,000 fighters belonging to the Lebanese Shia terror group Hezbollah and another 10,000 other Shi’ite militia fighters. As troops loyal to Assad continue to march back to Israel’s border, winning battles with local rebel and al-Qaida linked groups, Israel is watching with concern. Officials have been warning of Iranian entrenchment on the Golan Heights, an area of key strategic importance for the Jewish state, stressing that it is a red line for Jerusalem. Once the Assad regime re-cements its hold on the entirety of the country, these fighters, who have been trained and equipped by Iran are unlikely to return to their homes in Lebanon, Afghanistan or Iran. Their sights will likely turn towards Israel, Syria’s old foe. On Sunday, OC Northern Command Maj.-Gen. Yoel Strick warned that while Israel is not interested in escalating the situation, the IDF would not allow an Iranian presence in Syria. “Those who cross the border will, on any level, receive an appropriate response. Iranian involvement in the region is a disturbing threat to Israel and the entire world. Iran wants to create a front command in Syria – we will not allow it,” he said at a ceremony marking the change of the command in the Northern Command’s 210th “Bashan” Division, which is responsible for guarding the Syrian border and the Golan Heights. “We are not inclined toward escalation, but we have high-level capabilities and we will not hesitate to use them,” Strick added. Incoming commander Brig.-Gen. Amit Fisher warned not only of the Iranian entrenchment across the border but the return of Syrian troops to an area which was relatively quiet for close to six years while under the control of rebels. “We must prepare ourselves operationally and in terms of intelligence for the growing threat: The return of the Syrian army and Iranian forces, Hezbollah and others.” For Israel, the next chapter in Syria’s war will be a nightmare scenario.  “We must prepare ourselves operationally and in terms of intelligence for the growing threat: The return of the Syrian army and Iranian forces, Hezbollah and others. ”For Israel, the next chapter in Syria’s war will be a nightmare scenario.

Something So Huge Is Coming It Will Bring Deep State To Their Knees And They Are 'Terrified' As Their Conspiracy To Overthrow President Trump Is Exposed

February 5, 2018 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

When President Trump tweets liberals melt down, they scream "bully" when he goes after someone or names wrongdoing by someone, they mock him relentlessly when he makes a claim that the media either knows nothing about or has actively tried to hide the information from the public, such as when President Trump informed the country his communications were "wire-tapped" by the Obama administration, which the world finally found out was one hundred percent true, after they criticized him for months over his claim. The reason we watch the president's Twitter feed is that we have noted, time and time again, to note the names he names, the claims he makes and understand that he is informing the public of what is coming at a later date. One such example was President Trump's March 2017 tweets about Uranium One which stated "Why isn't the House Intelligence Committee looking into the Bill & Hillary deal that allowed big Uranium to go to Russia, Russian speech....", then he continued on to say "...money to Bill, the Hillary Russian "reset," praise of Russia by Hillary, or Podesta Russian Company. Trump Russia story is a hoax. #MAGA!" President Trump was informing people what was coming at a later date and sure enough, in October 2017, The Hill's John Solomon busted open a story regarding Uranium One, showing that the Obama administration while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State knew of an ongoing bribery investigation implicating Russian nuclear officials, which they kept from the public and from Congress, as they approve the Uranium One deal. That report also uncovered significant amounts of money was given to the Clinton Foundation by Russian entities. On February 5, 2018, President Trump offered another tidbit of information, which taken in conjunction with newly revealed information by investigative journalist Sara Carter, explains why she says high level Obama administration intelligence members are "terrified." It is noteworthy that for months, from the information about Obama administration officials "unmasking" Americans, specifically Trump campaign team members, for political purposes, all the way until the most recent FISA abuse memo, Carter has been in front of it all, with her sources offering her enough to be able to inform the public, without revealing classified information, of what was coming and to date, her predictions by citing her high level sources, have been spot on. Trump tweeted on February 5, 2018: "Little Adam Schiff, who is desperate to run for higher office, is one of the biggest liars and leakers in Washington, right up there with Comey, Warner, Brennan and Clapper! Adam leaves closed committee hearings to illegally leak confidential information. Must be stopped!" As you can hear by Carter above, the OIG report has former Obama officials terrified, but she also highlights, just as the president did, that there will be details about leaks, in some cases including classified information leaked to the press, contained with the OIG report, which also matches the OIG's mandate in the press release announcing his investigation which began in January 2017. Via that press release: "Department of Justice Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz announced today that, in response to requests from numerous Chairmen and Ranking Members of Congressional oversight committees, various organizations, and members of the public, the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) will initiate a review of allegations regarding certain actions by the Department of Justice (Department) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in advance of the 2016 election. Cognizant of the scope of the OIG’s jurisdiction under Section 8E of the Inspector General Act, the review will examine the following issues: " • Allegations that Department or FBI policies or procedures were not followed in connection with, or in actions leading up to or related to, the FBI Director’s public announcement on July 5, 2016, and the Director’s letters to Congress on October 28 and November 6, 2016, and that certain underlying investigative decisions were based on improper considerations; • Allegations that the FBI Deputy Director should have been recused from participating in certain investigative matters; • Allegations that the Department’s Assistant Attorney General for Legislative Affairs improperly disclosed non-public information to the Clinton campaign and/or should have been recused from participating in certain matters; • Allegations that Department and FBI employees improperly disclosed non-public information; and • Allegations that decisions regarding the timing of the FBI’s release of certain Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) documents on October 30 and November 1, 2016, and the use of a Twitter account to publicize same, were influenced by improper considerations. "Finally, if circumstances warrant, the OIG will consider including other issues that may arise during the course of the review." The president specifically highlighted leaks in his tweet, but he also named two very high level former Obama officials, namely, former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) from March 2013 to January 2017, John Brennan, and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who resigned in November 2016. A look back through older news, we see that Brennan was accused of leaking information back in December 2016, after Donald Trump had won the presidential election, in the very midst of the ongoing communications between high level FBI employees discussing an "insurance policy" against Donald Trump should he become the president, which was later revealed to be the whole "Russia collusion" narrative we have heard ad nuaseam for the last year. Interestingly, the information Brennan was accused of leaking to the press, was in relation to "Russian hacking" of the DNC servers, in what Representaive Peter King called "a hit job" against the then president-elect Donald Trump. At the time King told ABC's This Week show "“That's what infuriates me about this, Martha, is that we have John Brennan, supposedly John Brennan, leaking to The Washington Post, to a biased newspaper like The New York Times, findings and conclusion that is he's not telling the intelligence committee." Related: Trump Claims CIA Director Brennan Leaked Unsubstantiated Report Flashback from Circa News, May 22, 2017: Former CIA director John Brennan confirmed he unmasked the identities of Americans in his testimony to the House Intelligence Committee. Upon questioning from Rep. Trey Gowdy, (R- SC) Brennan acknowledged he requested for U.S. citizen's name to be unmasked and said that he did not unmask anyone on his last day at work, January 20. When asked if ambassadors requested names to be unmasked Brennan said that it may have "rang a vague bell," but that he "could not answer with any confidence." Brennan said the CIA respected American citizens right to privacy. "[There is] a right of all Americans to privacy, and that sometimes information is collected about U.S. persons who may or may not be involved in any matter of criminal activity. And therefore, respecting that privacy of U.S. citizens, the intelligence community goes to great lengths to cover the identity of U.S. persons if they may be uncovered, but happen to be included in U.S. intelligence collection," Brennan said. There is growing evidence the agency he oversaw has become one of the largest consumers of unmasked intelligence about Americans even though its charter prohibits it from spying on U.S. citizens. The Senate Judiciary Committee is also seeking communications regarding Brennan, along with 39 others, from a variety of entities, including The Democratic National Committee (DNC), Hillary for America (HFA), Former DNC Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Former DNC Chair Donna Brazile, HFA Chair John Podesta, and HFA Chief Strategist Joel Benenson. As to James Clapper, who President Trump also mentions in his tweet, back in May 2017, both he and former deputy AG Sally Yates were questioned by Senator Chuck Grassley about "unmasking Trump communications," and sharing it will others. In January 2017, before President Trump was inaugurated, he accused the Intelligence Community of leaking the Kremlin sourced, Steele dossier that was funded in part by the DNC and the Hillary Clinton campaign, and it was Clapper quoted by multiple sources in denying that claim. This was the same Steele dossier that the recent FISA abuse memo highlighted as being unverified, yet used by the intelligence community to obtain a FISA warrant to surveil Trump campaign members. Perhaps the most damning thing against Clapper was his assertion before it was verified that the Trump campaign did in fact have their communications surveilled, and that the Steele dossier was used to obtain a FISA warrant, was Clapper's outright denial of knowledge about any FISA warrant to spy on the Trump campaign. Via The Hill in March 2017, before the public learned that Trump and his campaign was surveilled and about the FISA warrant against Carter Page, that allowed Obama intelligence officials to collect "incidental" communications of other Americans that communicated with Carter Page, specifically, other Trump campaign members, that were then "unmasked." Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper on Sunday denied President Trump's allegations that former President Barack Obama wiretapped Trump Tower before the election. During an interview on NBC's "Meet The Press," Clapper was asked if he would be aware if something like that had happened. "I would certainly hope so. ... Obviously I can't speak officially anymore," Clapper said on NBC's "Meet The Press." "But I will say that for the part of the national security apparatus that I oversaw as DNI, there was no such wiretap activity mounted against the president-elect at the time, as a candidate, or against his campaign." Clapper also said he would know if a court order through the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) existed for "something like this." "And at this point you can't confirm or deny whether that exists?" host Chuck Todd asked. "I can deny it," Clapper said in response. "There is no FISA court order?" Todd asked. "Not to my knowledge," Clapper responded. With the information now available, we now know James Clapper was lying back in that March 2017 interview. Not only was the Trump campaign survielled, but the FISA warrant was granted, and extended multiple times using the same Steele dossier that Clapper denied leaking knowledge of to the press. MORE MEMOS EXPECTED AS EVERYONE WAITS FOR OIG REPORT The DOJ's Office of Inspector General has already released 1.2 million documents to the House Intelligence Committee, where the most recent FISA abuse memo was released from, and reports indicate that memo, which Democrats, the DOJ and FBI, attempted to prevent the public from seeing, is just the beginning, as there are approximately five more memos, dealing with different agencies, expected to come out of that committee. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., suggested that more memos, in addition to the one released Friday that outlines alleged surveillance violations by the U.S. government, may soon be released, with the next one targeting the State Department. “Yes, this completes just the FISA abuse portion of our investigation,” Nunes told Fox News host Bret Baier on Friday, referencing abuses related to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. “We are in the middle of what I call ‘phase two’ of our investigation, which involved other departments,” Nunes said. “Specifically the State Department and some of the involvement they had in this.” The first memo detailed FISA abuses, it is believed the subsequent House Intelligence memos will be revealing illegal actions taken from high level members from individual agencies, building the bigger picture of a group of "deep state" intelligence community members plotting to arrange the overthrow of a sitting president THE "CONSPIRACY" TO OVERTHROW PRESIDENT TRUMP WENT STRAIGHT TO THE TOP What is critical to remember as all this information is being thrown at us, with new revelations coming each week, while Democrats, liberals and the MSM continue to try to downplay it all, is that 1) Trump offered warnings and hints, sometimes months in advance of what was going to be revealed, and; 2) More importantly, the leaks to the press have been coming from a variety of high level sources. (Former FBI director James Comey admitted to "leaking" his memos to a friend with the sole purpose of having him leak it to the press in order to prompt a special counsel into the Russia collusion probe, and FBI Agent Peter Strzok and Lisa Page recently exposed as leakers to another journalist) because; 3) these leaks were made possible because Barack Obama, right before leaving office in January 2017, issued new rules under Executive Order 12333 that allowed "the NSA—which collects information under that authority with little oversight, transparency, or concern for privacy—share the raw streams of communications it intercepts directly with agencies including the FBI, the DEA, and the Department of Homeland Security." Many believe, and the recent revelations seem to offer the theory some credence, that high level members of multiple intelligence agencies manufactured a hoax regarding "Russia collusion with the Trump campaign," then proceeded to use unverified documents to obtain FISA warrants on Trump campaign member(s), then "unmask" other names that communicated with the person listed in the warrant, then Barack Obama, who was the president at that time, initiated new rules to allow those same agencies to share raw data (meaning American names were not masked) with each other, so that it would take hundreds of investigative hours to unravel exactly who leaked what and when and to who. Related: Clinton associates fed information to Trump dossier author Steele, memo says BOTTOM LINE Between the Senate Judiciary Committee, the House Intelligence Committee, millions of documents, and a year-long OIG oversight investigation, we are finally starting to see some top members of the FBI, along with other top members of the DOJ, along with the former Director of the CIA, and the DNI, be exposed publicly, as not only leakers, but as liars whose lies were captured and preserved on video, all engaged in a huge conspiracy to overthrow the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. This is all so incredibly huge it will bring the deep state to its knees. No wonder Democrats, the MSM who helped them all, and former Obama administration members are all "terrified." Stepping back and looking at the past lies, the recent news, the FISA abuse memo, the OIG investigation, it is a lot easier to see why Congress members have been comparing the actions of Obama intelligence members to the KGB, calling this huge conspiracy to take down a sitting president "explosive," and "jaw-dropping," and what Judge Jeanine Pirro calls the actions seen in "third world countries."

TRUMP: ‘DEMOCRATS ARE LIKE DEATH; UN-AMERICAN; TREASONOUS’

“They would rather see Trump do badly than our country do well”

President Trump on Monday accused Democrats of “treasonous” behavior during his State of the Union address, escalating partisan tensions during a crucial stretch for Congress. Trump took aim at Democratic lawmakers who refused to applaud during his speech last week when he mentioned his achievements during his first year in office, a reaction he called “un-American.” “Can we call that treason? Why not?” the president said during a speech in Ohio. “They certainly didn’t seem to love our country very much.” Trump signaled that Democrats’ refusal to cheer “very positive news” in his speech, such as low unemployment rates for Hispanics and African-Americans, will make it difficult for him to work with them on government spending and immigration. He said the Democrats “would rather see Trump do badly than our country do well,” calling their behavior “very selfish.” Lawmakers are facing a Thursday deadline to fund the government and must act by March 5 to preserve protections for young immigrants living illegally in the U.S., both issues that have been stalled by partisan gridlock. The president used the 47-minute speech as a warm-up act for the 2018 midterm elections, even though the White House billed it as an official event, and not a political one, meaning taxpayers footed the bill. He took repeated shots at Democratic congressional leaders Rep. Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) and praised Ohio GOP Rep. Jim Renacci, who is running for Senate in the fall. Trump also attacked Democratic incumbent Sen. Sherrod Brown (Ohio) for voting against his tax overhaul, which the president said is bolstering the economy. “We had no Democrats. Nobody. Not one, including your other senator. He voted against it,” Trump said. “If they ever took over, your taxes would go way up and you would see some bad things happen.” A jobs report released Friday showed the economy adding 200,000 jobs in January. It also showed some wage growth, another data point suggesting a strengthening economy. full story the hill President Donald Trump SLAMS Democrats calls their behavior TREASONOUS at Tax Reform Speech in Ohio Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer proved Trump’s point as he told a pro-LGBT Human Rights Campaign gathering that Trump is “probably the most dangerous and worst man” to ever to hold the Presidency “We are dealing with probably the most dangerous and worst man in the presidency we have ever had in the history of this nation, but we are going to win the fight,” Schumer said. “My friends at HRC, we are against someone far worse than Lyndon Johnson, and the dangers to America are even greater,” Schumer said. “But I have never seen such activism in the streets, such protests and resist [sic] and email and calling and writing. I have never seen that except in the Vietnam War days.” Schumer vowed that Democrats will “take back the Senate,” in order to railroad Trump. “That means that I will have the sole power to determine what goes on the floor of the Senate, and that will mean we will not get another backward, right-wing judge on the Supreme Court, period,” Schumer said. “It means we’ll be able stop Donald Trump from putting all his junk on the floor and stop the anti-LGBT cascade of things that come into the United States Senate.” “We will take this country back! … We’re going to win! We’re going to win! We’re going to win!” Schumer yelled at the crowd. Make no mistake we are in a war of huge proportions the TRUMP counter attack is now full on the lance is sharp NWO SCUM FEEL THE WRATH OF THE PEOPLE YOU DISGUSTING SICK SATANIC FILTH YOUR TIME HAS COME GODS HOUNDS LANCES ARE NOW AIMED AT YOUR THROAT

Winter Olympics security workers hit with vomiting illness; military personnel called in for backup

Rachel Axon | USA TODAY Sports Updated 12:59 p.m. EST Feb. 6, 2018

PYEONGCHANG, South Korea – The organizing committee for the Pyeongchang Olympics has called in 900 military personnel after more than 1,200 security workers were pulled off duty because of concerns about the spread of the Norovirus, Christophe Dubi, IOC executive director of the Olympic Games said Tuesday. Later Tuesday evening, the organizing committee said 32 cases of Norovirus had been confirmed and those people were quarantined after being treated. Those 32 cases involve 21 private security staff members from the Horeb Youth Center and 11 people from other locations, including three foreigners. In a statement, POCOG said that starting Sunday workers reported headaches, stomach pain and diarrhea. The Gangwon Province Health and Environment Research Center found 41 workers with symptoms that might be related to the virus. The others have been pulled from duty to prevent possible spreading of the illness. The workers are largely responsible for checking credentials and screening baggage entering the venues. The military personnel were brought in from about 40 minutes away. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Norovirus is considered highly contagious and typically includes symptoms of diarrhea, stomach pain, vomiting and nausea. The organizing committee said ground water used in food and beverages at the Horeb Youth Centre -- a housing facility -- was suspected. In a statement late Tuesday, the committee said the Ministry of Food And Drug Safety and Ministry of Environment had checked the water used for cooking and consumption over five days and found it tested negative for Norovirus. On Monday, the Korean Centre for Disease Control and Prevention began a survey of everyone staying there. Those workers displaying symptoms will be sent to the hospital and those that do not will remain at the center until there are no further cases. The affected workers have been isolated and asked to stay in their accommodations. In their absence, 900 military personnel will work across 20 venues until the affected workers can return. The organizing committee is working with the Korean CDC to stop the spread of the virus, including disinfecting facilities and equipment. Organizers shared tips to help prevent the virus, which include washing hands with soap for more than 30 seconds, eating food that is thoroughly cooked and boiling water before drinking.

Report: Massive radiation leak at Fukushima plant — Extremely high levels being detected outside reactor — Officials can’t explain why — Expert warns of global threat: “It’s a disaster of unseen proportions” (VIDEO)

Published: February 6th, 2018 at 7:23 am ET By ENENews

The Independent, Feb 2, 2018 (emphasis added): Fukushima nuclear disaster: Lethal levels of radiation detected in leak… Expert warns of ‘global’ consequences unless the plant is treated properly… [Tepco] found eight sieverts per hour of radiation, while 42 [sieverts] were also detected outside its foundations… It came as Tepco said the problem of contaminated water pooled around the plants three reactors that is seeping into the ground has caused a major headache in its efforts to decommission the plant… Mycle Schneider, an independent energy consultant and lead author of the World Nuclear Industry Status Report, said that Tepco “hasn’t a clue what it is doing” in its job to decommission the plant. He added that the contaminated water that is leaking at the site could end up in the ocean if the ongoing treatment project fails and cause a “global” disaster, he told The Independent… “I find it symptomatic of the past seven years, in that they don’t know what they’re doing, Tepco, these energy companies haven’t a clue what they’re doing, so to me it’s been going wrong from the beginning. It’s a disaster of unseen proportions.” Mr Schneider added that the radiation leaks coupled with the waste from the plant stored in an “inappropriate” way in tanks could have global consequences… “This can get problematic anytime, if it contaminates the ocean there is no local contamination, the ocean is global, so anything that goes into the ocean goes to everyone.” He added: “It needs to be clear that this problem is not gone, this is not just a local problem. It’s a very major thing.” NHK, Feb 1, 2018: High radiation detected at Fukushima plant… A remote-controlled inspection of the Unit 2 reactor containment vessel last month detected a maximum of 8 sieverts per hour of radiation… [Tepco] said the radiation reading was taken near what appeared to be fuel debris, the term used to describe a mixture of molten fuel and broken interior parts… radiation levels remain so high that they present a major challenge to decommissioning work. During the probe, 42 sieverts per hour of radiation was also detected outside the foundations of the reactor. But officials said they have doubts about the accuracy of the reading because a cover had not been removed from the measuring instrument at the time. They added that they don’t know why radiation levels were lower near the suspected fuel debris than around the foundations. They gave a number of possible reasons, such as that cooling water may have washed radioactive materials off the debris… RT, Feb 2, 2018: An inspection of the Fukushima nuclear plant has detected extremely high amounts of radiation, says operator TEPCO… Experts can’t explain why radiation levels in fuel debris were lower than outside the reactor’s foundations… Sputnik, Feb 4, 2018: ‘Global Consequences’ of Lethal Radiation Leak at Destroyed Japan Nuclear Plant… While 8 Sv/h is deadly, outside of Fukushima’s Reactor Number 2 foundations… a much higher level of 42 Sv/h was detected. A strange occurrence, and experts are still arguing what caused the discrepancy. One possible explanation is that cooling water washed radioactive material off debris, taking it somewhere else. But here’s a truly terrifying catch: according to the report, Tepco highly doubts the new readings, because, as was discovered later, a cover was not removed from the robot-mounted measurement device at the time of the inspection, NHK World reports… While that radiation dosimeter cover negligence prevents precise calculations, the actual picture inside Unit 2 is thought to be much worse…

Cape Town braces for civil unrest as city's water crisis continues to worsen

By Paul Tilsley | Fox News

The picturesque port city of Cape Town, South Africa has long had the distinction of being one of the world’s top tourist destinations. But now, the city is on track to top another list it doesn’t want to be included in: The first major city in the modern era to have its water supply chain switched off. The city is experiencing a record-low water drought and city officials say soon they may have to take extraordinary steps to restrict water usage. Experts say this kind of drought only comes once in 300 years. Dam water levels are dangerously low, at an average of 25 percent. In some areas, levels are dropping by as much as 1 percent a day. Under Level 6B restrictions introduced this week, residents and tourists can only use about 13 gallons – or 50 liters – of water a day, or face stiff fines. That’s the equivalent of a small to medium-sized tub of water. So taking a bath as is out. People are being urged to take only two short showers a week, or use washcloths to clean themselves. They are also being asked to flush the toilet only once a day. Many restaurants have shut off the water at sinks and are asking customers to use bottled hand sanitizers. Long lines are forming at two wells in the city, where residents can get some water, about six gallons each. A brewery that owns the land where one of the wells sits offers limited water on a first-come, first-served basis. Many residents are trying to stock up because, even with these restrictions, “Day Zero” is likely to come. Barring a miracle, on May 11 – or sooner – most of the city’s water taps will be shut off. Already, police and security agencies are bracing for possible civil unrest. "It will be honestly horrific when day zero comes,” said Wendy Swiel, a local resident told reporters while in line at one of the wells. “It's going to be very scary but I think it's a reality, unfortunately.” Analysts are blaming the ANC-led national government, which is responsible for supplying water, for not acting sooner, despite being warned several years ago about the issue. Some analysts claim that the ANC is punishing Cape Town's voters for recently booting the party in local elections. Cape Town was the first of South Africa’s major cities where voters turned their back on the ruling party in local elections, ostensibly because of corruption, nepotism and mismanagement by the late Nelson Mandela’s party. Three of South Africa’s other largest cities, Johannesburg, Pretoria and Port Elizabeth have also dumped the ANC. Cape Town Mayor Patricia de Lille, a leader of the main opposition party, the Democratic Alliance, claimed that for months she has been trying to get a meeting with the country’s President, Jacob Zuma, to get national help – to no avail. The municipality purchased new desalination plants, but they won’t be ready in time to avert Day Zero. There’s a growing panic in town. The price of bottled water has shot up – if someone is lucky enough to find one. Shops sell out as soon as supplies enter stores. Even large chain stores are being heavily criticized for price gouging bottled water. In Johannesburg, so many locals are collecting water for family and friends in Cape Town that authorities are asking people to stop doing so, because Johannesburg itself is in danger of running low in this arid country. But many are most concerned about the poor, many of whom collect water from communal taps instead of individual taps at home like in the richer suburbs, according to the Associated Press. The rich are already trucking in tankers of water, and filling their swimming pools, or converting them to operate on salt water. In the Cape township of Khayelitsha, however, poor residents have always had to stand in line for water. So, for them, there is an ironic satisfaction that many in the more affluent areas of the city will now have to make lines for water. Experts say they foresee clashes between those desperate for water – and those hoarding it. Paul Tilsley is a freelance correspondent covering Africa for Fox News.

Desert Island HACK! Professional castaway reveals neat trick for making fire - using a plastic bag filled with water

Spanish castaway Alvaro Cerezo makes a living testing out uncharted territories

He has revealed footage of himself starting a fire with a bag full of sea water

It worked like a magnifying glass by pinpointing the Sun's rays on dry kindling

By Tim Stickings For Mailonline Published: 16:55 EST, 5 February 2018 | Updated: 16:56 EST, 5 February 2018

This real life Robinson Crusoe has revealed his unbelievable trick for making fire using only a plastic bag filled with water. Spanish castaway Alvaro Cerezo has visited more than 400 uncharted territories since he decided to trade civilization for surviving on unspoiled pockets of paradise aged 19. The 36-year-old now makes a living abandoning brave holidaymakers on far-flung desert islands to survive for days or weeks at a time - and has to test out the most treacherous locations himself first. Now he has revealed amazing new video footage of himself creating a fire on a beach on a desert island in the Philippines in seconds - using only a clear plastic bag full of sea water. In the clip, Alvaro, from Malaga, uses the plastic bag in the same way as a magnifying glass to pinpoint the sun's burning rays onto dry coconut kindling, which quickly sets alight. The survival expert said: 'I have used this method to make fire so many times. 'People are usually surprised you can use a plastic bag to make fire - they normally cannot believe it. 'If explorers don't carry plastic bags with them, there are always some on the shore of any desert island that have been pulled from the sea. 'The problem is most of them have little holes which would make the coconut hair wet, meaning it would be impossible to start a fire. 'Because of this you need to be lucky to find the right plastic bag, as it also must be transparent. 'Once you fill it with water - either fresh or salty - you need to create a round shape by pressing the sides. 'Then, the water creates the same effect as a magnifying glass.' Alvaro set up his company, Docastaway, in 2003 after staying on an island on the remote archipelago of Andaman and Nicobar in India and realising he could never work in an office. He has since helped more than 500 people - from backpackers to millionaires - experience the shipwrecked life for just $1,500 USD per week. He scours the world for suitably untrodden islands and limits each one to one person or couple at a time and withholds geographic details to ensure genuine isolation. Alvaro has also successfully used a lightbulb to start a fire and said making a saw out of bamboo to create friction is another commonly-used method. He added: 'When I can't find a plastic bag, I try to find a lightbulb. 'They are round and so make for the perfect shape, like when you press a plastic bag. 'You open them carefully and put water inside to create the same magnifying glass effect.'

Secret Alliance: Israel Carries Out Airstrikes in Egypt, With Cairo’s O.K.

The New York Times By DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK 4 days ago

The jihadists in Egypt’s Northern Sinai had killed hundreds of soldiers and police officers, pledged allegiance to the Islamic State, briefly seized a major town and begun setting up armed checkpoints to claim territory. In late 2015, they brought down a Russian passenger jet. Egypt appeared unable to stop them, so Israel, alarmed at the threat just over the border, took action. For more than two years, unmarked Israeli drones, helicopters and jets have carried out a covert air campaign, conducting more than 100 airstrikes inside Egypt, frequently more than once a week — and all with the approval of President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. The remarkable cooperation marks a new stage in the evolution of their singularly fraught relationship. Once enemies in three wars, then antagonists in an uneasy peace, Egypt and Israel are now secret allies in a covert war against a common foe. For Cairo, the Israeli intervention has helped the Egyptian military regain its footing in its nearly five-year battle against the militants. For Israel, the strikes have bolstered the security of its borders and the stability of its neighbor. Their collaboration in the North Sinai is the most dramatic evidence yet of a quiet reconfiguration of the politics of the region. Shared enemies like ISIS, Iran and political Islam have quietly brought the leaders of several Arab states into growing alignment with Israel — even as their officials and news media continue to vilify the Jewish state in public. American officials say Israel’s air campaign has played a decisive role in enabling the Egyptian armed forces to gain an upper hand against the militants. But the Israeli role is having some unexpected consequences for the region, including on Middle East peace negotiations, in part by convincing senior Israeli officials that Egypt is now dependent on them even to control its own territory. Seven current or former British and American officials involved in Middle East policy described the Israeli attacks inside Egypt, all speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss classified information. Spokesmen for the Israeli and Egyptian militaries declined to comment, and so did a spokesman for the Egyptian foreign ministry. Both neighbors have sought to conceal Israel’s role in the airstrikes for fear of a backlash inside Egypt, where government officials and the state-controlled media continue to discuss Israel as a nemesis and pledge fidelity to the Palestinian cause. The Israeli drones are unmarked, and the Israeli jets and helicopters cover up their markings. Some fly circuitous routes to create the impression that they are based in the Egyptian mainland, according to American officials briefed on their operations. In Israel, military censors restrict public reports of the airstrikes. It is unclear if any Israeli troops or special forces have set foot inside Egyptian borders, which would increase the risk of exposure. Mr. Sisi has taken even more care, American officials say, to hide the origin of the strikes from all but a limited circle of military and intelligence officers. The Egyptian government has declared the North Sinai a closed military zone, barring journalists from gathering information there. Behind the scenes, Egypt’s top generals have grown steadily closer to their Israeli counterparts since the signing of the Camp David accords 40 years ago, in 1978. Egyptian security forces have helped Israel enforce restrictions on the flow of goods in and out of the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian territory bordering Egypt controlled by the militant group Hamas. And Egyptian and Israeli intelligence agencies have long shared information about militants on both sides of the border. Israeli officials were concerned in 2012 when Egypt, after its Arab Spring revolt, elected a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood to the presidency. The new president, Mohamed Morsi, pledged to respect the Camp David agreements. But the Israelis worried about the Muslim Brotherhood’s ideological kinship with Hamas and its historic hostility to the Jewish state itself. A year later, Mr. Sisi, then the defense minister, ousted Mr. Morsi in a military takeover. Israel welcomed the change in government and urged Washington to accept it. That solidified the partnership between the generals on both sides of the border. The North Sinai, a loosely governed region of mountainous desert between the Suez Canal and the Israeli border, became a refuge for Islamist militants in the decade before Mr. Sisi took power. The main jihadist organization, Ansar Beit al Maqdis — the Partisans of Jerusalem — had concentrated on attacking Israel, but after Mr. Sisi’s takeover it began leading a wave of deadly assaults against Egyptian security forces. A few weeks after Mr. Sisi took power, in August 2013, two mysterious explosions killed five suspected militants in a district of the North Sinai not far from the Israeli border. The Associated Press reported that unnamed Egyptian officials had said Israeli drones fired missiles that killed the militants, possibly because of Egyptian warnings of a planned cross-border attack on an Israeli airport. (Israel had closed the airport the previous day.) Mr. Sisi’s spokesman, Col. Ahmed Ali, denied it. “There is no truth in form or in substance to the existence of any Israeli attacks inside Egyptian territory,” he said in a statement at the time, promising an investigation. “The claims of coordination between the Egyptian and Israeli sides in this matter are totally lacking in truth and go against sense and logic.” Israel declined to comment, and the episode was all but forgotten. Two years later, however, Mr. Sisi was still struggling to defeat the militants, who by then had killed at least several hundred Egyptians soldiers and policemen. In November 2014, Ansar Beit al Maqdis formally declared itself the Sinai Province branch of the Islamic State. On July 1, 2015, the militants briefly captured control of a North Sinai town, Sheikh Zuwaid, and retreated only after Egyptian jets and helicopters struck the town, state news agencies said. Then, at the end of October, the militants brought down the Russian charter jet, killing all 224 people aboard. It was around the time of those ominous milestones, in late 2015, that Israel began its wave of airstrikes, the American officials said, which they credit with killing a long roster of militant leaders. Though equally brutal successors often stepped in to replace them, the militants appeared to adopt less ambitious goals. They no longer dared trying to close roads, set up checkpoints or claim territory. They moved into hitting softer targets like Christians in Sinai, churches in the Nile Valley or other Muslims they view as heretics. In November 2017, the militants killed 311 worshipers at a Sufi mosque in the North Sinai. By then, American officials say, the Israelis were complaining to Washington that the Egyptians were not holding up their end of the arrangement. Cairo, they said, had failed to follow the airstrikes with coordinated movements of its ground troops. Although Israeli military censors have prevented the news media there from reporting on the strikes, some news outlets have circumvented the censorship by citing a 2016 Bloomberg News report, in which an unnamed former Israeli official said there had been Israeli drone strikes inside of Egypt. Zack Gold, a researcher specializing in the North Sinai who has worked in Israel, compared the airstrikes to Israel’s nuclear weapons program — also an open secret. “The Israeli strikes inside of Egypt are almost at the same level,” he said. “Every time anyone says anything about the nuclear program, they have to jokingly add ‘according to the foreign press.’ Israel’s main strategic interest in Egypt is stability, and they believe that open disclosure would threaten that stability.” Inside the American government, the strikes are widely known enough that diplomats and intelligence officials have discussed them in closed briefings with lawmakers on Capitol Hill. Lawmakers in open committee hearings have alluded approvingly to the surprisingly close Egyptian and Israeli cooperation in the North Sinai. In a telephone interview, Senator Benjamin L. Cardin of Maryland, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, declined to discuss specifics of Israel’s military actions in Egypt, but said Israel was not acting “out of goodness to a neighbor.” “Israel does not want the bad stuff that is happening in the Egyptian Sinai to get into Israel,” he said, adding that the Egyptian effort to hide Israel’s role from its citizens “is not a new phenomenon.” Some American supporters of Israel complain that, given Egypt’s reliance on the Israeli military, Egyptian officials, diplomats and state-controlled news media should stop publicly denouncing the Jewish state, especially in international forums like the United Nations. “You speak with Sisi and he talks about security cooperation with Israel, and you speak with Israelis and they talk about security cooperation with Egypt, but then this duplicitous game continues,” said Representative Eliot L. Engel of New York, the ranking Democrat on the House Foreign Relations Committee. “It is confusing to me.” Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has also pointedly reminded American diplomats of the Israeli military role in Sinai. In February 2016, for example, Secretary of State John Kerry convened a secret summit in Aqaba, Jordan, with Mr. Sisi, King Abdullah of Jordan and Mr. Netanyahu, according to three American officials involved in the talks or briefed about them. Mr. Kerry proposed a regional agreement in which Egypt and Jordan would guarantee Israel’s security as part of a deal for a Palestinian state. Mr. Netanyahu scoffed at the idea. Israeli’s military was already propping up Egypt’s military, he said, according to the Americans. If Egypt was unable to control the ground within its own borders, Mr. Netanyahu argued, it was hardly in a position to guarantee security for Israel.

Russia calls in army after 'snowfall of the century' in Moscow

Reuters Staff 2 Min Read

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian soldiers have been drafted in to help clear the streets of Moscow and the surrounding region after a record snowfall which delayed flights, felled hundreds of trees, and turned some roads and pavements into an obstacle course. More than a month’s worth of snow fell on Moscow within just 36 hours at the weekend as the temperature hovered below zero degrees Celsius, the biggest snowfall in the Russian capital since meteorological records began. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, calling the event “the snowfall of the century”, said one person had been killed when a tree brought down electricity lines, one of over 2,000 trees toppled under the sheer weight of the snow. At least five other people were injured in separate incidents, Sobyanin said. The Russian military said in a statement it had sent 100 soldiers, two snowploughs and a truck to help clear the snow in one Moscow district and at a location in the Moscow region. Children in Moscow were given the day off school on Monday when the temperature stood at minus 12 degrees Celsius. The authorities encouraged people to leave their cars at home and use public transport instead. “I have just left home but have already fallen over because the snow has not been cleared from the pavements,” said Lilya Belkina, a Moscow resident. “It is very difficult to cross the road.” Reporting by Andrew Osborn, Gennady Novik and Valery Stepchenkov; Editing by Alison Williams

Colts owner to pay for funeral of NFL player killed in crash

CNN Wire

(CNN) — The driver suspected of hitting and killing NFL linebacker Edwin Jackson and his ride-share driver on Sunday had a prior conviction for driving under the influence and had twice been deported, according to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Indiana State Police identified the suspected driver as Manuel Orrego-Savala, 37, an undocumented immigrant who is a Guatemalan citizen. Police said he gave them an alias at the scene — Alex Cabrera Gonsales — and attempted to flee on foot. Orrego-Savala was taken to the Marion County Jail, accused of driving without a license and on suspicion of intoxicated driving. He was briefly in court on Tuesday for an “advisement of rights” appearance ahead of his initial hearing, which will be held on Wednesday in Marion County Circuit Court.z When Orrego-Savala appeared before the judge he was assisted by an interpreter. He questioned why he was in court, as he claimed he wasn’t driving the car in the fatal crash that killed the two men, according to the court clerk. Orrego-Savala does not currently have an attorney, but one will be appointed before Wednesday morning’s initial hearing. Jackson, 26, was a linebacker with the Indianapolis Colts and was a passenger in the ride-share vehicle. Jeffrey Monroe, 54, of Avon, Indiana, was the ride-share driver who also was killed in the crash around 4 a.m. Sunday. Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay will pay for the funerals of Jackson and Monroe, a team spokesperson confirmed to CNN. Trump tweets on crash President Donald Trump referenced Orrego-Savala’s immigration status in a tweet Tuesday morning, saying it was “disgraceful that a person illegally in our country” killed Jackson. He also called on Democrats to “get tough on the Border, and with illegal immigration, FAST!” Indiana State Police said Monday they are working with the prosecutor’s office to file criminal charges in Orrego-Savala’s case. Orrego-Savala was deported in 2007 and 2009, according to ICE. He had entered the US illegally in July 2004 and he was convicted of driving under the influence in Redwood City, California, in 2005, ICE said. “Additionally, he has many other misdemeanor criminal convictions and arrests in California and Indiana,” the statement from ICE said. As part of his call for tighter immigration policy, Trump has repeatedly highlighted suspected crimes in which the suspect is an undocumented immigrant. On the campaign trail, he spoke often about the 2015 killing of Kate Steinle, a 32-year-old in San Francisco, allegedly by a man who had been deported five times previously. The man, Jose Ines Garcia Zarate, was found not guilty of murder in the case. Vice President Mike Pence, the former governor of Indiana, tweeted about Jackson’s death Monday, describing it as “a senseless & avoidable tragedy.” Fatal crash details Before the crash on Sunday morning, Monroe had pulled his 2018 Lincoln to the side of Interstate 70 in Indianapolis because Jackson had become ill, according to state police. Monroe was believed to have stepped out of the car to help Jackson, police said. Both men were standing outside the car when a black Ford F-150 pickup truck drove onto the emergency shoulder and struck them and the back of the car. One of the men was thrown into the center lane. A state trooper spotted the wreckage and as he slowed to stop for the crash, he struck the body in the center lane, officials said. Both men were pronounced dead at the scene by the Marion County coroner’s office. Police said Orrego-Savala was the driver of the F-150. ICE said it has placed an immigration detainer on Orrego-Savala at the Marion County Jail. A man listed as Alex Cabrera Gonsales — the alias officials say Orrego-Savala used — was arrested in March 2017 in Whitestown, Indiana, after a driving infraction, according to a Whitestown Police report. Whitestown Police confirmed that Cabrera Gonsales and Orrego-Savala are the same person. After being pulled over for failing to stop at a stop sign, he told police he did not have a driver’s license but had a Mexico ID card, according to the police report. Cabrera Gonsales was arrested and accused of operating a vehicle while never receiving a license, and was handcuffed and taken to Boone County Jail for further processing. Scott Rolston of Whitestown Police said the department generally would not communicate with ICE for a typical traffic stop. “After an arrest, a suspect would be brought to the Boone County Jail, where they would be fingerprinted, processed, and if ICE were to be engaged it would be at that part of the process,” Rolston said. Cabrera Gonsales pleaded guilty to operating a vehicle while never receiving a license, which is a misdemeanor, according to documents provided by CNN affiliate WISH-TV. He was sentenced to two days in the Boone County Jail and was released after one day served, according to the court documents. Jackson was from Atlanta but made a home for himself with the Colts. The inside linebacker started eight games in 2016 for the Colts but did not play this past season due to an injury. “Edwin was loved by all in the Colts organization,” the team said. “We admired his outgoing personality, competitive spirit and hardworking mentality. He was well-respected among all with whom he crossed paths, and he will be greatly missed in our locker room and throughout our entire organization.” Jackson was an undrafted free agent out of Georgia Southern in 2015. The team’s head football coach, Chad Lunsford, said in a statement that Jackson represented “how a young man should live his life. He earned everything that he was given and left this world way too soon.”

Russian-Turkish axis in Syria faces meltdown

With suspicions running high that the nominal allies drew each other's blood on February 3, Ankara may well seek a modus vivendi with the US

By M.K. Bhadrakumar February 6, 2018 1:26 PM (UTC+8)

Two things differentiate the downing of a Russian Su-25 ground-attack jet in the western province of Idlib on February 3 from the drone attacks on the Russian air base at Hmeimim a month earlier. One, Russia could thwart the attack on January 5 by a wave of drone aircraft but singularly failed to anticipate the use of man-portable air defense systems by extremists operating in Idlib under Turkish watch. Russia lost an ace fighter pilot in the latter attack. Two, Moscow sensed an American hand in the drone attack on January 5, but this time around Russia’s Tass news agency promptly highlighted an American denial on record. The Kremlin’s Dmitry Peskov made a point of cautioning against speculations “before one gets precise information as to how terrorists in Syria got that particular man-portable air defense system and other weapons that they have.” Notably, however, an influential lawmaker – Dmitry Sablin, coordinator of the Russia-Syria parliamentary friendship group – went ahead to “speculate,” saying: “We have information that the MANPADS used to bring down our jet was brought into Syria from a neighboring country several days ago. Countries from whose territory weapons arrive, that are then used against Russian servicemen, must understand that this will not go unpunished.” Idlib province is situated right on Syria’s border with Turkey. It is supposed to be a “sealed border” under strict surveillance by Turkish security agencies. If what Sablin alleged was based on factual information, Russian intelligence recently monitored the transfer of MANPADS from Turkey to extremists. Curiously, the day after Sablin spoke, Turkey came out with a counter-allegation of its own, attributed to “security sources,” to the effect that the weaponry used in the attack against a Turkish army tank on February 3 by Kurds in Afrin “might have been a Russian-made 9M113 Konkurs” and that the “claim is being evaluated.” Five Turkish soldiers were killed in that attack. Suffice to say, the air is thick with innuendos and dark hints that Russia and Turkey may have drawn each other’s blood on February 3, despite notionally being allies in Syria’s hybrid war. In January, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reached out to President Vladimir Putin to clarify the situation. But over the latest incident, no such exchange has so far taken place, even though Erdogan is under obligation to initiate one – according to the understanding reached in talks in Astana last year following the Syrian ceasefire, Turkey is entrusted with setting up “observation posts” in Idlib to monitor the activities of extremist groups. Meanwhile, on February 5, Putin sent an effusive message to Nicos Anastasiades congratulating him on his re-election as the President of the Republic of Cyprus. Putin’s message expressed confidence that the “constructive dialogue” and “joint work” by the two countries are in the mutual interests of both and “in keeping with efforts to improve stability and security in Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean.” Cyprus’ relations with Turkey have been unfriendly ever since the Turkish invasion and occupation of the northern part of the country in 1974. For Turkey, the knot is three-fold. Firstly, it cannot come to terms with the new reality that Russia (which has civilizational ties with Greece and Cyprus) has today become the dominant power in the Eastern Mediterranean. Secondly, it disapproves of ongoing Syrian military operations, supported by air power, to regain control of Idlib from opposition groups that have enjoyed Turkish support. And, above all, thirdly, Erdogan’s grand design to establish a permanent Turkish foothold in Syria (which was ruled by the Ottomans), will remain a pipedream so long as Russia underpins Syria’s unity and territorial integrity. Turkey has all along viewed Moscow’s links with the Kurds in Afrin suspiciously. Typically, therefore, Erdogan will now seek a modus vivendi with the US. Of course, it will be a dream come true for the US if the hairline crack in the Russian-Turkish axis in Syria widens and becomes a rift in the coming weeks. In their opposition to the establishment of Russian bases in Syria, Washington and Ankara are on the same page. On the other hand, the Pentagon will expect Erdogan to give up his plans to launch any military operation to attack the Kurds in Manbij. The US simply cannot accede to the Turkish demand that it break its alliance with Syria’s Kurds. US Defence Secretary James Mattis hinted on Friday that talks are going on with Turkey to dissuade Erdogan from ordering an operation on Manbij. For his part, Erdogan will seek a tradeoff with the Trump administration to create conditions for a broader rapprochement with the US. He is well aware that the US will see advantages in the developing situation to push its containment strategy against Iran more effectively in Syria and to isolate the Assad regime. Indeed, a rift in the Russian-Turkish axis in Syria opens an entirely new ball game in the country, one that enables the US to create new facts on the ground and negotiate harder on the terms of a future Syrian settlement. Israel is also a stakeholder here. Erdogan all along hankered for an enhanced role for Turkey as the flag carrier in the West’s strategies in Syria, fancying himself to be the role model for the Muslim Middle East. But President Barack Obama was disinterested in any such dalliance with the mercurial Sultan in Ankara. Things are very much in flux, though. Erdogan met Pope Francis on Monday. It was the first time in 59 years that a Turkish President had visited the Vatican.

Asian shares tumble after Dow has worst day since 2011

Associated Press By ELAINE KURTENBACH, AP Business Writer 2 days ago

TOKYO — Asian markets were rattled Tuesday by the miseries on Wall Street, with Japan's Nikkei 225 index briefly dipping more than 7 percent, but investors seemed to be taking the gyrations in stride. The Tokyo benchmark bounced throughout the day, closing 4.7 percent lower at 21,610.24. All regional bourses were battered a day after the Dow Jones industrial average suffered its worst percentage decline since August 2011 and its biggest point drop ever. The Shanghai Composite index fell 3.4 percent to 3,370.65 and Hong Kong's Hang Seng skidded 4.4 percent to 30,827.73. Australia's benchmark S&P ASX 200 slid 3.2 percent to 5,833.30 and South Korea's Kospi declined 1.5 percent to 2,453.31. Two days of steep losses erased the U.S. market's gains from the start of this year, ending a spate of record-setting calm for stocks in a pullback that market pros have been predicting for some time. Declines of 10 percent or more are common during bull markets. There hasn't been one in two years, and by many measures stocks have been looking expensive. The same is true of many global markets, where investors have been bracing for a correction while hoping not to see one. "There would be few places to hide from the risk-off atmosphere that is expected to extend its stay in Asian markets today in a significant manner," Jingyi Pan of IG said in a commentary. "This is fear rolling over itself," she said. Panic in other markets can send investors racing for the "safe haven" of Japanese yen holdings, she noted. That is painful for Japanese and other regional export manufacturers, whose competitiveness is hurt by stronger currencies that push their prices relatively higher. Japanese officials sought to downplay the losses. "The economy has had record high corporate earnings and improving wages and labor conditions. Consumer spending is also recovering and so the Japanese economy is stable," said Toshimitsu Motegi, the economy minister. "As for market movements, I will watch closely for any impact on the economy." The U.S. dollar was flat at 109.12 yen. The euro rose to $1.2390 from $1.2369. At its lowest ebb during Monday's roller-coaster trading on Wall Street, the Dow was down 1,597 points from Friday's close. That came during a 15-minute stretch where the 30-stock index lost 700 points and then gained them back. The Dow finished down 4.6 percent at 24,345.75. The Standard & Poor's 500 index, the benchmark most professional investors and many index funds use, sank 4.1 percent, to 2,648.94. That was its biggest loss since August 2011, when stocks were reeling as investors fretted over European government debt and the U.S. credit rating was downgraded after the debt ceiling impasse. The Nasdaq composite fell 3.8 percent to 6,967.53, while the Russell 2000 index of smaller-company stocks sank 3.6 percent to 1,491.09. Investors have sold shares out of concern that with inflation creeping higher, the Federal Reserve might raise interest rates more quickly, making it more expensive for people and businesses to borrow money and derailing the economic expansion and the prolonged share price rally. The S&P 500 has fallen 7.8 percent since it set its latest record high on Jan. 26. Monday's drop was bad, but there were worse days during the financial crisis, including a 777-point plunge in the Dow in September 2008 that was equivalent to 7 percent, far bigger than Monday's decline. A 10 percent drop from a peak is referred to on Wall Street as a "correction." The last such decline came in early 2016, when oil prices were plunging as investors worried that slowing global growth might sharply reduce demand. U.S. crude hit a low of about $26 a barrel in February of that year. On Tuesday, oil prices were steady. Benchmark U.S. crude fell 56 cents to $63.59 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. On Monday, it gave up $1.30 to $64.15 per barrel. Brent crude, which is used to price international oils, shed 62 cents to $67.00 per barrel. The highest bond yields in years are making bonds more appealing to investors compared with stocks. Bond prices jumped after a steep decline on Friday. On Tuesday, the yield on the 10-year Treasury slipped to 2.73 percent from 2.84 percent. Lower interest rates hurt banks because they cannot charge as much money for mortgages and other types of loans. AP Markets Writer Marley Jay contributed to this story from New York.

Fidelity Reports Web Issues After Robo-Adviser Sites Crash

By Brandon Kochkodin, Suzanne Woolley, and Ben Steverman February 5, 2018, 4:50 PM EST Updated on February 6, 2018, 12:59 PM EST

Fidelity Investments had intermittent technology issues with its website a day after robo-advisers struggled in the market rout. Fidelity customers faced some difficulties accessing the firm’s home page on Tuesday. By early afternoon, the issues were resolved, said Michael Aalto, a company spokesman. The websites of two of the country’s biggest robo-advisers -- Wealthfront Inc. and Betterment LLC -- crashed on Monday as the S&P 500 Index sank. Complaints quickly spread across Reddit and other internet sites from people who had trouble logging onto their accounts. “Really?” wrote @jlpatel23 after he received a message from Wealthfront saying its site was down. The glitches at the robo-advisers represent a setback for a niche of the financial market industry that has been booming as people have become more comfortable making investment decisions without speaking to human advisers. Vanguard Group and Charles Schwab Corp. reported outages on Monday and said those didn’t recur today. Wealthfront acknowledged in a statement that its clients lost access to their accounts for “a short period of time today” and said it’s working to ensure that “clients don’t experience this again.” Betterment clients "experienced log-in issues for approximately 30 minutes this afternoon," Joe Ziemer, a company spokesman, said in an email on Monday. "Accounts were secure throughout and portfolio management activities like rebalancing and tax loss harvesting continued." Betterment and Wealthfront said they had no such issues on Tuesday.

Moscow is blanketed by the HEAVIEST snowfall in 100 years as 17 inches of the white stuff and freezing -12C lows sees 100 cars CRUSHED by falling trees

Sheer weight of snow in the Russian capital caused 2,000 trees to fall in the city

Emergency services to avoid public transport due to risk of snowdrifts and ice

City's army of workers cleared 1.2 million cubic metres of snow in 24 hours

By Alex Matthews For Mailonline Published: 20:14 EST, 5 February 2018 | Updated: 12:13 EST, 6 February 2018

Moscow has been blanketed by its heaviest snowfall in 100 years as flurries see cars crushed by falling trees while temperatures drop to -12C. An army of city workers have been furiously clearing roads in the Russian capital as 17 inches of snow falls over the course of the weekend. Crews have cleared 1.2 million cubic metres of snow in the last 24 hours, while the sheer weight of the white stuff on trees in the city have caused 2,000 to fall - with more than 100 of those on vehicles. Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin said there had already been one fatality due to the poor weather. He wrote on social media: 'One person died from a falling tree that hit an electric power line.' Meanwhile more than 100 flights have been delayed and children have been kept home from school as a result of the snowfall, which is 20 per cent higher than usual. The emergency services also urged drivers to use public transport unless there was 'extreme need' due to the risk of snowdrifts and black ice. Deputy mayor Pyotr Biryukov said: 'This is the first time in 100 years there's been such a quantity of snow.' Russia's RIA Novosti news agency dubbed the conditions a 'snowy apocalypse.' 'In the first five days of February the monthly average (snowfall) was reached,' Nadezhda Tochenova, the deputy head of Russia's Hydrometcentre weather research centre said. 'That's an anomaly of course.' A depth of snow of 21 inches was measured at one city weather station, Tochenova said, while denying reports that the snowfall was an all-time record. In a city well accustomed to wintry weather, the heavy snowfall did not affect central heating or power supplies and public transport was largely running.

Game Over? Newsweek Fires Top Editors, Staffers Told To Go Home

by Tyler Durden Mon, 02/05/2018 - 19:26

Employees at Newsweek were informed today that editor-in-chief Bob Roe and executive editor Ken Li have been fired, along with journalist Celeste Katz - who had written articles covering an active investigation into parent company Newsweek Media Group, sources tell CNN. Staff in Newsweek's New York offices were told they could stop working and go home for the day on Monday afternoon, the source close to the newsroom told CNN. "Can confirm I was fired. I know nothing else. Can say nothing else yet," Roe told CNN in an email. It is unclear whether the firings are related to Katz's ongoing coverage of the Manhattan DA's ongoing financial investigation of Newsweek, whose New York offices were raided January 18. Katz reported that authorities were investigating a potential "money trail" between former Newsweek Media Group executives and Olivet University, a California Christian College. Investigators from the Manhattan DA's office remove servers from Newsweek (source: Newsweek) A search of Olivet’s publicly available tax records shows that in 2014, IBT Media Inc., later renamed Newsweek Media Group, paid the school $1.63 million for a R&D agreement. The company is listed as a “former trustee.” In 2013, Olivet’s tax filing listed another similar payment from the media organization to the school: $1.26 million for a licensing agreement. Agents seized 18 computer servers as part of a criminal probe into the company’s finances, which sources said had been underway for at least 17 months at the time authorities executed a search warrant. -Celeste Katz, Newsweek Also of note that Newsweek placed Chief Content Officer Dayan Chandappa on leave following allegations that he sexually harassed women while he was a top Reuters official, which fired journalist Celeste Katz wrote about last week. The chief content officer of Newsweek Media Group, which publishes Newsweek and a suite of other digital properties, is taking an immediate leave of absence Monday following a news report that he had been dismissed from his previous job after a subordinate filed a sexual harassment complaint against him, the company announced Monday. -Celeste Katz, Newsweek Aaaaaand, she's gone - along with two top Newsweek editors who ostensibly green lighted the articles. Police visited the Newsweek offices in December to investigate a white substance had been mailed to now-fired Executive News Director Ken Li, which they were then told turned out to be a false alarm. The firings are the latest in a series of major issues for the beleaguered publication. As we reported last week, Newsweek's parent company was busted by an independent ad fraud researcher for defrauding the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau by selling the agency online advertising which included a signficant amount of "cheap junk traffic with a share of bots." When it comes to IBT’s fraudulent traffic practices, Social Puncher’s findings align with reporting from BuzzFeed News on IBT India, and with separate data gathered by Pixalate, an ad fraud detection company, and DoubleVerify, a digital media measurement company. (Social Puncher and BuzzFeed News previously collaborated on ad fraud investigations, but worked separately in this case.) Based on what it described as a detailed investigation, DoubleVerify this week classified IBT’s US, UK, India, and Singapore sites as “as having fraud or sophisticated invalid traffic,” according COO Matt McLaughlin. DoubleVerify is now blocking all ad impressions on these sites on behalf of customers. In response to questions from BuzzFeed News, Newsweek Media Group, the parent company of IBT, acknowledged it purchases audiences from ad networks that sell pop-up and pop-under traffic. It said this traffic represents a “small percentage of traffic on our sites” and denied any fraudulent activity. -Buzzfeed The CFPB, now headed by Trump appointee Mick Mulvaney, told BuzzFeed News that the bureau is looking into the allegations. While defrauding the CFPB would seem to be a federal case - the Manhattan DA would also have jurisdiction for any fraud which has occurred within the state. So - the moral of the story for aspiring journalists appears to be that if your parent company is under active investigation, and your chief content officer has taken a leave of absence for sexual harassment, you may be fired if you report on it.

'Jerusalem will be the capital of the Islamic Caliphate'

Islamic Movement leader slams Palestinian Authority for crying 'crocodile tears,' promises Jerusalem will be capital of Islamic Caliphate.

Contact Editor Dalit Halevi, 05/02/18 09:13

Sheikh Kamal al-Khatib, Deputy Head of the illegal Islamic Movement in Israel, published an article expressing his opinion what Jerusalem's status should be. The article, published in the Gaza newspaper Falestin, slams those who talk a lot about their love and connection to Al-Aqsa Mosque and notes that those who really love Al-Aqsa are the ones "who are active on the ground, hold Islamic activities in the mosque, renovate Muslims' homes in the Old City of Jerusalem, and were arrested or forced to pay a fine for their activities." According to al-Khatib, the Palestinian Authority is "competing with us in their love for Jerusalem" but they are also the ones who negotiated Jerusalem during the Oslo Accords and were willing to negotiate regarding Jerusalem. Today, when Jerusalem is becoming more Jewish, they cry crocodile tears. "The city of Al-Quds is the capital city of the Islamic Caliphate, which is run properly," al-Khatib wrote. "With the help of Allah, this will soon become reality." Al-Khatib, who serves as deputy chief of the outlawed Northern Branch of the Islamic Movement, was banned until October 2017 from entering Jerusalem or Al-Aqsa mosque. In July 2017, he claimed that Israeli authorities "persecute the activists by arresting dozens of them, preventing their entry to Jerusalem and Al Aqsa, and forbidding them to travel abroad."

'Jerusalem will soon be 50% Arab'

Experts warn city on track to lose Jewish majority as thousands of PA residents flood into city's outer neighborhoods.

Contact Editor David Rosenberg, 05/02/18 12:26

Will the capital of the Jewish state have an Arab majority in the near future? Israel’s National Security Council is weighing various options for preserving Jerusalem’s shrinking Jewish majority, as experts warn that an ongoing flood of Arab migration into the city from the Palestinian Authority will completely reshape the demographic balance in the holy city. Jews have constituted a majority of Jerusalem’s population going back at least to the 19th century. In 1944, as the Second World War raged on and a full four years before Israel achieved independence, Jews made up about 62% of the city’s total population. Following the city’s reunification under Israeli sovereignty in 1967, three out of every four Jerusalemites were Jewish. Over the past half century, however, the demographic balance in the Israeli capital has shifted dramatically, with a net Jewish migration out of the city and Arab migration into Jerusalem. While Jews made up 72% of the city’s population in 1980 and 68% in 2000, over the past fifteen years, the demographic shift has accelerated dramatically. Despite the city’s large Orthodox Jewish population and relatively high fertility rate, from 2000 to 2015, the Jewish population increased by just 17%, due to the net migration of Jews out of the city as housing prices there skyrocketed. According to Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics, the city’s Jewish majority fell to just 61% in 2015. Senior Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs researcher Nadav Shragai warns that since 2015, that figure has fallen even further, dropping below 60%. “We’re fast approaching the dangerous situation in which 50% of Jerusalem is Arab,” Shragai said, according to a Makor Rishon report Sunday night. While the high birthrate among the city’s Muslim Arab residents has contributed to part of the demographic change, Shragai suggests that the unauthorized immigration of tens of thousands of Palestinian Authority residents into the city may be the primary driver of the rapid increase in the Arab population. In 2003, Israel built a security barrier - part fence, part wall – around the city’s eastern border as part of the larger security fence separating pre-1967 Israel from the Palestinian Authority. While most of the city’s Arab neighborhoods are to the west of the fence, several neighborhoods were effectively separated from the city by the barrier, sitting to the east of the wall. Since then, the so-called “isolated neighborhoods” – including part of Shuafat and Kafr Aqab (Kfar Akab) have become increasingly lawless, with high crime rates, scant law enforcement, and fewer and fewer municipal services provided by the City of Jerusalem as the security situation deteriorated. Yet the Arab neighborhoods on the east side of the barrier have seen an explosive level of growth – tripling their total population since 2003 to 140,000. By comparison, Shragai notes, the total population of Arab neighborhoods ‘inside’ the barrier have increased by just 71% over that same period. Unencumbered by building inspectors or police interference, massive illegal housing projects have been built in neighborhoods like Kafr Aqab and Shuafat, including even ten-story apartment buildings. Due to the law enforcement vacuum in the isolated neighborhoods, wildcat building projects have flourished and the average price of new apartments have dropped to under 400,000 shekels ($115,000) – cheaper even than many comparable apartments in Palestinian Authority-controlled cities. That has drawn a flood of immigration from the PA, with tens of thousands of Palestinian Arabs illegally residing in neighborhoods on the edge of Jerusalem – outside the security barrier but still under Israeli sovereignty and within Jerusalem’s municipal boundaries. According to Shragai, as many as 40% of the 140,000 Arabs living in Jerusalem neighborhoods east of the barrier are actually PA residents. These 56,000 or so illegal Arab residents make up about 18% of the city’s total Arab population. Discounting them from the city’s population statistics means that among legal residents, Jerusalem’s Jewish population is about 66%, compared to between 31% and 32% of legal residents who are Arab. Given the demographic change in the capital, Israeli political leaders have presented a series of proposals aimed at preserving Jerusalem’s Jewish majority. Last year, Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat reportedly pushed for the demolition of six illegal high-rise apartment buildings in Kafr Aqab. The demolition, to be carried out using a series of explosive charges, would open up space for a planned road and demonstrate that Israeli sovereignty still applies to the area. Since the initial report on the planned demolition, however, the Jerusalem District Court has placed a temporary order blocking the operation. Lawmakers have offered up more comprehensive solutions, including the proposed “Greater Jerusalem Law” being pushed by Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz (Likud). The law, if passed, would expand the municipal borders of Jerusalem to include the city of Maaleh Adumim to the east, which is currently home to nearly 38,000 Israelis. In addition, the town of Givat Zeev to the northwest, the city of Beitar Illit to the south, the town of Efrat, and other communities in Gush Etzion would all be incorporated into Jerusalem. It would not, however, officially annex these areas to Israel. According to Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz (Likud), the plan would add some 150,000 Jews to the city, increasing the total population to over one million. Jerusalem Affairs Minister Zeev Elkin (Likud) offered an alternative plan, which would establish a separate municipal body to administer some of the city’s Arab neighborhoods and enforce Israeli law there. A third option, proposed by Anat Berko (Likud), would cede municipal authority over neighborhoods outside of the security barrier, like Kafr Aqab, to the Palestinian Authority.

Jerusalem is top priority for Jordan

[2/6/2018 12:52:09 AM]

AMMONNEWS - Jerusalem is a top priority in the policy of Jordan under the leadership of His Majesty King Abdullah II, Secretary General of the Royal Committee for Jerusalem Affairs, Abdullah Kanaan, said. In a lecture at the Jordan Society for Scientific Research (JSSR), which was moderated by its president Anwar Battikhi, Kanaan said that "Jerusalem has been Jordan's top priority since the establishment of the Emirate of Transjordan in 1921. " The Hashemites have asserted the Arab identity of Palestine, preserved the Arab and Islamic identity of Jerusalem and protected its Islamic and Christian holy sites," he said. Kanaan also emphasized the necessity to establish an independent Palestinian state in accordance with the two-state solution on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital. "Without the Jordanian policy, Israel would have long ago closed the file of its occupation of the West Bank and Jerusalem and Arabs, whether Muslims or Christians, across the Islamic world and beyond, wouldn't have an issue called Jerusalem" he added. Kanaan pointed to Jordan's opposition to US President Donald Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital, pointing out Jordan's efforts at the international forums to address the repercussions of the American decision, and its pursuit to reinvigorate the peace process in accordance with international resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative. "Jerusalem belongs to both Muslims and Christians, it is part and parcel of the Islamic faith and it is the duty of Arabs, Muslims, and Christians to support Jordan to stand against the Israeli aggression", he added, stressing that there will be no peace in the region without the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.

Strongest earthquake in three years

An earthquake of magnitude 4,9 on the Richter scale was measured on the north side of the caldera Bárðarbunguaskja at 7.24 pm last night. The quake is the stongest one to be measured since the volcanic eruption in the lava field Holuhraun ceased on February 28th, 2015. The eruption had been ongoing since August 31st, 2014. Bjarki Kaldalóns Fries, specialist of natural disasters at the Icelandic Meteorological Office, said to mbl.is. "On October 27th last year we measured two earth quakes, each of magnitude 4,7, and they were at the time the stongest ones that had been measured in Bárðarbunguaskja since the end of the eruption". Kaldalóns Fries says they are monotoring the area even though it's unlikely there will be another eruption. Earlier last night three earth quakes were measured on the north-east side of Bárðarbunga, of magnitude 3,7, 2,9 og 3,8 on the Richter scale. Around 20-30 afterquakes have been measured in the area since the spate began right before 6 pm last night.

California is overdue a major earthquake that could kill millions and there may be NO warning before it hits, warns top geophysicist

Many areas of the San Andreas Fault system could produce large earthquakes

These major quakes typically occur with no warning whatsoever

For major events California is actually in an earthquake drought

Professor Richard Aster explains the importance of preparing for the worst

By Professor Richard Aster For The Conversation Published: 04:24 EST, 31 January 2018 | Updated: 04:44 EST, 31 January 2018

Most people don't know how dire the earthquake situation in California really is, according to a top geophysicist. Many areas of the San Andreas Fault system are now so stressed they could produce large and damaging earthquakes that could kills millions. However, these major quakes typically occur with no warning whatsoever - and it is only a matter of time before they strike. Writing for the Conversation, Professor Richard Aster from Colorado State University explains the importance of preparing for the worst in order to mitigate the damage of the next 'Big One' if - or when - it strikes. California earthquakes are a geologic inevitability. The state straddles the North American and Pacific tectonic plates and is crisscrossed by the San Andreas and other active fault systems. The magnitude 7.9 earthquake that struck off Alaska's Kodiak Island on January 23 2018 was just the latest reminder of major seismic activity along the Pacific Rim. Tragic quakes that occurred in 2017 near the Iran-Iraq border and in central Mexico, with magnitudes of 7.3 and 7.1, respectively, are well within the range of earthquake sizes that have a high likelihood of occurring in highly populated parts of California during the next few decades. The earthquake situation in California is actually more dire than people who aren't seismologists like myself may realise. Although many Californians can recount experiencing an earthquake, most have never personally experienced a strong one. For major events, with magnitudes of 7 or greater, California is actually in an earthquake drought. Multiple segments of the expansive San Andreas Fault system are now sufficiently stressed to produce large and damaging events. The good news is that earthquake readiness is part of the state's culture, and earthquake science is advancing – including much improved simulations of large quake effects and development of an early warning system for the Pacific coast. The last big one California occupies a central place in the history of seismology. The April 18, 1906 San Francisco earthquake (magnitude 7.8) was pivotal to both earthquake hazard awareness and the development of earthquake science – including the fundamental insight that earthquakes arise from faults that abruptly rupture and slip. The San Andreas Fault slipped by as much as 20 feet (six meters) in this earthquake. Although ground-shaking damage was severe in many places along the nearly 310-mile (500-kilometre) fault rupture, much of San Francisco was actually destroyed by the subsequent fire, due to the large number of ignition points and a breakdown in emergency services. That scenario continues to haunt earthquake response planners. Consider what might happen if a major earthquake were to strike Los Angeles during fire season. Seismic science When a major earthquake occurs anywhere on the planet, modern global seismographic networks and rapid response protocols now enable scientists, emergency responders and the public to assess it quickly – typically, within tens of minutes or less – including location, magnitude, ground motion and estimated casualties and property losses. And by studying the buildup of stresses along mapped faults, past earthquake history, and other data and modeling, we can forecast likelihoods and magnitudes of earthquakes over long time periods in California and elsewhere. However, the interplay of stresses and faults in the Earth is dauntingly chaotic. WHAT IS THE 'BIG ONE' AND HOW ARE PEOPLE PREPARING? The 'Big One' is a hypothetical earthquake of magnitude 8 or greater that is expected to happen along the San Andreas fault. Such a quake is expected to produce devastation to human civilisation within about 50-100 miles (80-160km) of the quake zone, especially in urban areas like Palm Springs, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Contingency plans warn upward of 14,000 people could die in worst-case scenarios, with 30,000 injured, thousands left homeless and the region's economy setback for years, if not decades. Last year a report from the US Geological Survey warned the risk of 'the big one' hitting California has increased dramatically. Researchers analysed data from the state's complex system of active geological faults, as well as new methods for translating these data into earthquake likelihoods. The estimate for the likelihood that California will experience a magnitude 8 or larger earthquake in the next 30 years has increased from about 4.7 per cent to about 7.0 per cent, they say. Federal, state and military officials have been working together to draft plans to be followed when the 'Big One' happens. These contingency plans reflect deep anxiety about the potential gravity of the looming disaster: upward of 14,000 people dead in the worst-case scenarios, 30,000 injured, thousands left homeless and the region's economy setback for years, if not decades. As a response, what planners envision is a deployment of civilian and military personnel and equipment that would eclipse the response to any natural disaster that has occurred so far in the US. There would be waves of cargo planes, helicopters and ships, as well as tens of thousands of soldiers, emergency officials, mortuary teams, police officers, firefighters, engineers, medical personnel and other specialists. 'The response will be orders of magnitude larger than Hurricane Katrina or Super Storm Sandy,' said Lt. Col. Clayton Braun of the Washington State Army National Guard. And even with continuing advances in basic research and ever-improving data, laboratory and theoretical studies, there are no known reliable and universal precursory phenomena to suggest that the time, location and size of individual large earthquakes can be predicted. Major earthquakes thus typically occur with no immediate warning whatsoever, and mitigating risks requires sustained readiness and resource commitments. This can pose serious challenges, since cities and nations may thrive for many decades or longer without experiencing major earthquakes. California’s earthquake drought The 1906 San Francisco earthquake was the last quake greater than magnitude 7 to occur on the San Andreas Fault system. The inexorable motions of plate tectonics mean that every year, strands of the fault system accumulate stresses that correspond to a seismic slip of millimetres to centimetres. Eventually, these stresses will be released suddenly in earthquakes. But the central-southern stretch of the San Andreas Fault has not slipped since 1857, and the southernmost segment may not have ruptured since 1680. The highly urbanised Hayward Fault in the East Bay region has not generated a major earthquake since 1868. Reflecting this deficit, the Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast estimates that there is a 93 per cent probability of a 7.0 or larger earthquake occurring in the Golden State region by 2045, with the highest probabilities occurring along the San Andreas Fault system. Can California do more? California's population has grown more than 20-fold since the 1906 earthquake and currently is close to 40 million. Many residents and all state emergency managers are widely engaged in earthquake readiness and planning. These preparations are among the most advanced in the world. For the general public, preparations include participating in drills like the Great California Shakeout, held annually since 2008, and preparing for earthquakes and other natural hazards with home and car disaster kits and a family disaster plan. No California earthquake since the 1933 Long Beach event (6.4) has killed more than 100 people. Quakes in 1971 (San Fernando, 6.7); 1989 (Loma Prieta; 6.9); 1994 (Northridge; 6.7); and 2014 (South Napa; 6.0) each caused more than $1 billion (£0.7bn) in property damage, but fatalities in each event were, remarkably, dozens or less. Strong and proactive implementation of seismically informed building codes and other preparations and emergency planning in California saved scores of lives in these medium-sized earthquakes. Any of them could have been disastrous in less-prepared nations. Casualties are hard to predict Nonetheless, California's infrastructure, response planning and general preparedness will doubtlessly be tested when the inevitable and long-delayed 'big ones' occur along the San Andreas Fault system. Ultimate damage and casualty levels are hard to project, and hinge on the severity of associated hazards such as landslides and fires. Several nations and regions now have or are developing earthquake early warning systems, which use early detected ground motion near a quake's origin to alert more distant populations before strong seismic shaking arrives. This permits rapid responses that can reduce infrastructure damage. Such systems provide warning times of up to tens of seconds in the most favorable circumstances, but the notice will likely be shorter than this for many California earthquakes. Early warning systems are operational now in Japan, Taiwan, Mexico and Romania. Systems in California and the Pacific Northwest are presently under development with early versions in operation. Earthquake early warning is by no means a panacea for saving lives and property, but it represents a significant step toward improving earthquake safety and awareness along the West Coast. Managing earthquake risk requires a resilient system of social awareness, education and communications, coupled with effective short- and long-term responses and implemented within an optimally safe built environment. As California prepares for large earthquakes after a hiatus of more than a century, the clock is ticking.

Today Should Be “Memo Release Day”…

Posted on February 1, 2018 by sundance

If the apparent Nunes, Grassley, Goodlatte and Horowitz timing remains as previously evidenced, today should be Memo Release Day. The White House having allowed a full 36 hours of media discussion time to talk through the SotU address, is poised to permit the Executive Branch declassification approval of the Legislative Branch intelligence work product. In a last minute effort to block the executive approvals, Minority Chair of the House Intelligence Committee, Adam Schiff, claimed last night there were changes to the legislative work product. Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes shared with Adam Schiff some minor edits to the drafted memo that resulted from the executive branch (FBI Director Wray) making a request upon initial review: Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff BREAKING: Discovered late tonight that Chairman Nunes made material changes to the memo he sent to White House – changes not approved by the Committee. White House therefore reviewing a document the Committee has not approved for release. 10:00 PM - Jan 31, 2018 Counting on people not to know the FBI is part of the executive branch, Schiff claimed, wrongly, that any changes made the initial work product contrary to that which was approved for submission by the House Intelligence Committee. A desperate attempt to stop the declassification by the White House, as quickly pointed out by Chairman Nunes: View image on Twitter Emma Loop @LoopEmma JUST IN: Nunes spokesman says the “material changes” cited by Democrats are "minor edits to the memo, including grammatical fixes and two edits requested by the FBI and by the Minority themselves.” https://www.buzzfeed.com/emmaloop/democrat-demands-house-intelligence-republicans-withdraw?utm_term=.mhaJdMV8jy#.ofg4qa9NoQ 

11:29 PM - Jan 31, 2018 In the back-and-forth it becomes evident why we stated last week to pay attention to the process. The memo is classified legislative work product of the legislative branch. The legislative branch is asking the executive branch to declassify the memo. When Devin Nunes invited FBI Director Christopher Wray to review the memo on Sunday night he was inviting the executive branch to preview the work-product prior to submission. It would be ordinary for any minor executive-branch-requested adjustments to be made, prior to submission/approval for executive declassification. That’s exactly what happened. Minor adjustments were made at the request of the FBI Director prior to submission for declassification approval. Majority Chairman Devin Nunes shared those adjustments with Minority Chair Adam Schiff. Schiff tried, and failed, to make a political issue out of a simple process. Additionally, Minority Chair Adam Schiff, along with most corporate media, are trying to present the intelligence community (DOJ/FBI) as a fourth branch of government. As silly as it sounds, former DNI James Clapper attempted the same argument on Wednesday night during a CNN appearance. They’re not. All of the intelligence community resides under the executive branch and the Chief Executive is President Donald Trump. The normal review for any declassification request is a review by the National Security Council, the Office of Legal Counsel (all depts); all impacted cabinet officials; all heads of potentially impacted national security departments (DOJ-NSD, FBI Counterintelligence, NSA, CIA, State, DoD etc.); along with the White House Chief-of-Staff (General Kelly). That review complete, it’s now up to the Chief Executive, President Trump, to sign off and release. This is the formal process, and this is the process that has been followed. As much as the formal and appropriate process annoys Representative Adam Schiff, all of the correct procedures have been followed. Additionally, the memo itself is not the biggest benefit to exposing the corruption. The real goal will be reviewing the underlying documents and evidence that support the memo. That’s phase two: Beyond the obvious reasons, the political reason Adam Schiff is annoyed is that his party leadership is intent on selling a false narrative that President Trump is undermining the institutions of the Intelligence Community. If people accurately review events against the backdrop of factual structures of government: Legislative Branch, Judicial Branch, Executive Branch, the claims by Democrats toward “undermining institutions” fall flat. A desire by the President to address needed structural reform resulting from revealed corruption within the Justice Department is no different than the desire by the President to reform a corrupt Veterans Affairs department. Same/Same. Both fall under the authority of the executive; both agency officials capable of gross misconduct. The Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), Devin Nunes, (by position) is directly responsible to conduct oversight on the intelligence apparatus within the national security departments as they relate to potential FISA and FISC abuses. As a Gang of Eight member, that specific aspect of oversight falls to the HPSCI Chairman. The person directly above the HPSCI chairman in this regard is the Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan. Devin Nunes has followed the correct procedure for notifying the chain-of-command of a violation based on his oversight findings. Paul Ryan was notified. Once the issue of intelligence abuse is identified via committee review, and with the House Speaker informed of the committee findings, the next step is to inform the head of the Executive Branch, that’s President Trump. Now that President Trump has been notified of abuses within the intelligence apparatus, directly under the supervision of the executive, President Trump is compelled to take action to resolve those abuses. In the matter of this specific FISA-702 abuse, solely as an outcome of the specific DOJ/FBI conduct, the office responsible for dealing with the misconduct is also the office victimized by the misconduct. Thus we see the historic nature of corruption within what has taken place. The intelligence apparatus of the United States Justice Department, via the DOJ and FBI was weaponized against the person running to hold executive authority over the United States Justice Department; and the misuse of the offices within the DOJ and FBI continued after the election – as the same officials sought to eliminate the person who holds ultimate accountability and authority over them. The U.S. corporate media has been working overtime trying to cloud this structural reality by attempting to create, out of loincloth, some non-existent separation of authority between the Office of the President and the U.S. Justice Department. The Executive Branch did not create the DOJ or FBI, the Legislative Branch did. However, when the legislative branch created those entities – they placed them directly under the Executive Branch. President Trump is the Chief Executive and he can reform any agency under his executive authority. Period.

Lying, Spying and Hiding

By Andrew P. Napolitano February 1, 2018

I have argued for a few weeks now that House Intelligence Committee members have committed misconduct in office by concealing evidence of spying abuses by the National Security Agency and the FBI. They did this by sitting on a four-page memo that summarizes the abuse of raw intelligence data while Congress was debating a massive expansion of FISA. FISA is the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, which was written to enable the federal government to spy on foreign agents here and abroad. Using absurd and paranoid logic, the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which only hears the government’s lawyers, has morphed “foreign intelligence surveillance” into undifferentiated bulk surveillance of all Americans. Undifferentiated bulk surveillance is the governmental acquisition of fiber-optic data stored and transmitted by nearly everyone in America. This includes all telephone conversations, text messages and emails, as well as all medical, legal and financial records. Ignorant of the hot potato on which the House Intelligence Committee had been sitting, Congress recently passed and President Donald Trump signed a vast expansion of spying authorities — an expansion that authorizes legislatively the domestic spying that judges were authorizing on everyone in the U.S. without individual suspicion of wrongdoing or probable cause of crime; an expansion that passed in the Senate with no votes to spare; an expansion that evades and avoids the Fourth Amendment; an expansion that the president signed into law the day before we all learned of the House Intelligence Committee memo. The FISA expansion would never have passed the Senate had the House Intelligence Committee memo and the data on which it is based come to light seven days sooner than it did. Why should 22 members of a House committee keep their 500-plus congressional colleagues in the dark about domestic spying abuses while those colleagues were debating the very subject matter of domestic spying and voting to expand the power of those who have abused it? The answer to this lies in the nature of the intelligence community today and the influence it has on elected officials in the government. By the judicious, personalized and secret revelation of data, both good and bad — here is what we know about your enemies, and here is what we know about you — the NSA shows its might to the legislators who supposedly regulate it. In reality, the NSA regulates them. This is but one facet of the deep state — the unseen parts of the government that are not authorized by the Constitution and that never change, no matter which party controls the legislative or executive branch. This time, they almost blew it. If just one conscientious senator had changed her or his vote on the FISA expansion — had that senator known of the NSA and FBI abuses of FISA concealed by the House Intelligence Committee — the expansion would have failed. Nevertheless, the evidence on which the committee members sat is essentially a Republican-written summary of raw intelligence data. Earlier this week, the Democrats on the committee authored their version — based, they say, on the same raw intelligence data as was used in writing the Republican version. But the House Intelligence Committee, made up of 13 Republicans and nine Democrats, voted to release only the Republican-written memo. Late last week, when it became apparent that the Republican memo would soon be released, the Department of Justice publicly contradicted President Trump by advising the leadership of the House Intelligence Committee in very strong terms that the memo should not be released to the public. It soon became apparent that, notwithstanding the DOJ admonition, no one in the DOJ had actually seen the memo. So FBI Director Chris Wray made a secret, hurried trip to the House Intelligence Committee’s vault last Sunday afternoon to view the memo. When asked by the folks who showed it to him whether it contains secret or top-secret material, he couldn’t or wouldn’t say. But he apparently saw in the memo the name of the No. 2 person at the FBI, Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, as one of the abusers of spying authority. That triggered McCabe’s summary departure from the FBI the next day, after a career of 30 years. The abuse summarized in the Republican memo apparently spans the last year of the Obama administration and the first year of the Trump administration. If it comes through as advertised, it will show the deep state using the government’s powers for petty or political or ideological reasons. The use of raw intelligence data by the NSA or the FBI for political purposes or to manipulate those in government is as serious a threat to popular government — to personal liberty in a free society — as has ever occurred in America since Congress passed the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798, which punished speech critical of the government. What’s going on here? The government works for us; we should not tolerate its treating us as children. When raw intelligence data is capable of differing interpretations and is relevant to a public dispute — about, for example, whether the NSA and the FBI are trustworthy, whether FISA should even exist, whether spying on everyone all the time keeps us safe and whether the Constitution even permits this — the raw data should be released to the American public. Where is the personal courage on the House Intelligence Committee? Where is the patriotism? Where is the fidelity to the Constitution? The government exists by our consent. It derives its powers from us. We have a right to know what it has done in our names, who broke our trust, who knew about it, who looked the other way and why and by whom all this was intentionally hidden until after Congress voted to expand FISA. Everyone in government takes an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution. How many take it meaningfully and seriously?

When All Else Fails, Roll out a Kennedy

Posted on January 31, 2018 by Ray Starmann

The Democrats are on the run and they know it. The FISA Memo will soon be released detailing KGB style tactics to steal the 2016 Election among Hillary disciples at the FBI. The economy is booming, African-American unemployment is the lowest in history. General Mattis and Fighting Joe Dunford have smashed ISIS and sent the monsters to the gates of Hades in one year. The once blue collar, working man’s party has metastasized into a globalist elite clique attempting to keep the border open in order to bring in foreigners who are their ONLY voting block outside of coastal California, Manhattan and Vermont. In a desperate attempt by the Democrats, Congressman Joe Kennedy III delivered the liberal rebuttal to President Trump’s SOTU speech, feebly attempting to channel the Ghosts of Kennedy Past. Mr. Kennedy’s rebuttal was full of sound, Spanish and fury, while signifying nothing. He began by praising the people of Fall River, Massachusetts: “From textiles to robots, this is a place that knows how to make great things. The students who are with us here this evening from the auto tech program at Diman Regional Technical School, carry on that rich legacy. Like many American hometowns, Fall River has faced its share of storms.” Yes, Mr. Kennedy, Fall River’s economy suffered at the hands of the globalist Democrats who outsourced its factories, while Barack Obama’s economy put the final nail in the coffin of any economic improvement. He continued; “Corporate profits fall but fail to give their workers their fair share.” On the contrary, Mr. Kennedy, the news has been inundated lately with stories of corporations handing out bonuses and increasing wages as the shackles of the Obama economy and its endless governmental regulations have been torn off. Kennedy continued: “Russia, knee deep in our democracy.” Gotta keep up the Russian Fairy Tale, CNN party line. “Hatred and supremacy proudly marching in our streets.” Actually, Mr. Kennedy, nearly ALL of the hatred and violence has been committed by liberals in the streets, liberals who believe they are intellectually supreme to millions of Deplorables. “This nagging and thinking feeling, no matter your political beliefs, this is not right, this is not who we are.” It is not who Republicans are, but it is what your party is now, Mr. Kennedy; a party of left-wing kooks, Marxist wannabes and those who wish to commit violence, in order to protest a failed election by a woman whose only concern was, is and will always be for herself. That, Mr. Kennedy, is WHO YOU ARE and WHAT YOUR PARTY IS in 2018. You are representing a party that your uncle and grandfather would look on with horror in their eyes. The rebuttal continued: “Folks, it would be easy to dismiss this past year’s chaos. Partisanship as politics, but it is far, far bigger than that. This administration is not just targeting the laws that protect us, they are targeting the very idea that we are all worthy of protection.” Truth be told, Mr. Kennedy, it was the Obama Administration who went after whistleblowers, who sought to stymie the press at every turn, who illegally conducted surveillance on a Presidential candidate, who conducted a fake investigation of Hillary Clinton’s national security crimes. “For them, dignity is not something you are born with, but something you measure by your net worth, your celebrity, your headlines, your crowd size.” Yet, there are very few conservative celebrities, Congressman Kennedy. Your party is saturated with liberal fools from Hollywood who wish to inculcate their warped ideals on the American public every day. “Not to mention, the gender of your spouse, the country of your birth, the color of your skin, the God of your prayers. their record has rebuked our highest American ideals, the belief that we are all or the, we are all equal, that we all count in the eyes of our laws, our leaders, our God, and our government. That is the American promise.” Conservatives have nothing against anyone of any color and judge every person on the content of their character. We only wish one thing – that every immigrant is here LEGALLY. Your party has abandoned God and this is evident every time Christmas is replaced by Winter Solstice and the Ten Commandments are removed from a public locale because of liberal grievances. What would a Democratic rebuttal be without the endless drumbeat that they truly care about everyone, when in actuality they push policies that destroy the American worker, and seek to crucify the average American with endless governmental regulations? Mr. Kennedy rattled on: “Today, ladies and gentlemen, today that promise is being broken by in administration that decides who makes the cut and who can be bargained away. they are turning American lives into a zero-sum game. For one to win, a nether must lose. We can guarantee America’s safety if we slash our safety net. Where we can extend health care in Mississippi if we get it in Massachusetts. — gut it in Massachusetts. We can cut taxes if we raise them on families to model. We can take care of sick kids if we sacrificed rumors. We are bombarded with one false choice after another. Coal miners or single moms, rural communities are inner cities. The coast or the heart line. The daycare worker in Birmingham, bitter rights rather than mutual casualties of a system forcefully rigged towards those at the top. The parent who lies awake terrified that their transgender son or daughter will be beaten and bullied at school. Nothing is more shattering been a daughter in the grips of an opioid addiction. Here is an answer that Democrats offer tonight. We choose both.” “We choose the better deal for all who call our country home. We choose a living wage and a paid leave, affordable tried your — a formal childcare that your family needs to survive.” What deal is that, Mr. Kennedy? Your economy out sourced jobs and put the American worker on life support. Your Obamacare is a socialist abomination that put an unconstitutional tax on every American who refused to have government-mandated health care. Your better deal is nothing more than Euro-socialism. “We choose Fall River. We choose that thousands of Americans communities whose roads are not paid with power or privilege, but with an honest effort of good faith, and the results to build something better for your kids. That is our story.” That was your story, Mr. Kennedy. Get it through your head. Your party no longer represents the working man and woman in America. Your party represents Madonna, the View, Jimmy Kimmel, Silicon Valley billionaires, transgender bathrooms, a loser national security policy, FBI corruption and the Clinton Foundation. That is your party in 2018. In that last part of the rebuttal, Mr. Kennedy catered to the Democrats’ number one voting block, illegals: “It began the day our Founding Fathers and mothers set sail for a new world fleeing oppression and intolerance. To all the dreamers watching tonight, let me be absolutely clear, you are part of our story, we will fight for you and we will not walk away— we will not walk away.” Our Founding Fathers were British colonists who were here, legally, Mr. Kennedy, imagine that. The Dreamers were and are here ILLEGALLY. They have no rights as American citizens now. “America, we carry that story on our shoulders.” No, we don’t congressman. Your ancestors from Ireland arrived here LEGALLY. Most Americans, wherever their ancestors came from, arrived here LEGALLY. Mr. Kennedy went on to speak of E Pluribus Unum, yet the Democratic Party supports the Balkanization of America. He also praised the Me Too Movement and Black Lives Matter. Good God. Two points for the congressman: Uncle Jack, with his massive tax cuts and hard line national security attitude, would be a Republican if he was alive in 2018 and Grandpa Bobby was all about helping Americans in places like West Virginia and Watts, suffering from poverty, not about catering to foreigners here illegally. Mr. Kennedy’s rebuttal did nothing to help his party, nor the nation he serves. Most Americans do not want open borders, hate Obamacare, believe Black Lives Matter are Marxist terrorists and love the Trump economy. Mr. Kennedy is as out of touch as every other Democrat in Congress.

Support for both unfettered immigration and the minimum wage: The shocking connection

January 29, 2018AdminJohn

Wouldn’t it seem contradictory that a group of people who support the minimum wage, an effort considered by most to favor less skilled workers, also support an immigration policy that allows for others to be hired, trained, and employed far below the legal limit of pay? If such a group of people were truly concerned that low skilled workers were not making a living wage, why would they, at the same time, welcome and enable those who will willfully fill these jobs at a much lower rate? Although these questions seem impossible to answer, when one looks at the real intent of this politically motivated effort, the answer is quite clear. Although the masses of people who support the minimum wage are either too lazy to do much more than parrot talking points or too unintelligent to think otherwise, most political leadership that supports the minimum wage knows exactly what they are doing. To these people, the minimum wage is not about helping low skill workers get ahead; their goal is to move as many people as possible from self sufficiency to dependence. Here is how the minimum wage and cheap migrant labor works for those who favor both: It is important for those who seek a dependent society, in other words a welfare state, to completely ignore or deny the effects of a politically imposed minimum wage.[1] The effect is, obviously, an increase in the cost of human capital, in other words the cost to hire workers. As with any increase in cost for a business, whether it is the cost to employ people or the cost to buy steel or wood, the demand for it decreases. This is why when a minimum wage supporter is asked, “If the minimum wage works, why not make it $1,000 an hour?” The response is anything but the answer to the question. One would think, if those who support the minimum wage really wanted those workers to make more money, they would be the first group to insist upon a very stringent policy that would limit migrant workers from voluntarily attaining lower than minimum wage employment. Furthermore, it would seem to follow that such people would also favor penalties on employers who happily employ such low wage workers in order to diminish the cost effect of the minimum wage. Yet they do not. Why? Because their intent is not to help low skilled workers find work, but in fact inhibit their ability to find gainful employment. Therefore, it is important for those who seek a dependent society to impose as many barriers to honest work as possible. By imposing an artificially high minimum wage, the benefit to leftists is immense. Such laws encourage businesses to either: Automate processes that previously required human labor Outsource that labor to other countries in which the cost of labor is low Hire workers that exist outside of the law, i.e. migrant workers No matter which option an employer chooses, the result is favorable to the person who desires a dependent society because the result is the same: Americans who previously earned the dignity and self worth of financial independence are diminished and transformed into a person convinced they need the money and property of others to survive. The obvious intent of supporting both the minimum wage and unfettered immigration is to price American workers out of the workforce while filling those jobs with people who have only known and lived in a socialist state. This is a clear path towards a socialized and dependent society, hence the reason why those who adore political power over freedom and self determination take a seemingly contrary position on immigration and the minimum wage.

Gates Foundation Funds “DNA Vaccine” Delivered By Electrical Current

Old-Thinker News | Feb. 1, 2018 By Daniel Taylor

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is funding research to develop a synthetic DNA vaccine for malaria. The Gates foundation gave a $1.4 million grant to the Wistar Institute to develop the vaccine. According to Forbes, “The Wistar Institute will collaborate with the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute and Inovio Pharmaceuticals, Inc… which was created in the lab of David B. Weiner, Ph.D.” The DNA vaccines work by delivering genetically engineered DNA to cells via electrical current. The New York Times reported on the developing vaccine technology in 2015. As reported, animal tests on the synthetic DNA vaccine effectively “re-engineered” monkeys genetics. The Gates foundation has heavily influenced vaccine delivery and production world-wide. The GAVI Alliance, founded in 2000 with the help of the Gates Foundation, has the goal of vaccinating all of the third world. The fact that such a global mechanism like GAVI exists – in the hands of outspoken population control advocates – for delivering vaccines to millions of people across the world should be disconcerting to say the least. With the ability to re-engineer the genes of human beings with vaccines in the name of fighting disease, what kind of “unintended” consequences will humanity face?

Everyday Misery In Venezuela—Millions of people are facing inhuman conditions in Venezuela right now

“There is no food in Venezuela,” my Venezuelan friend wrote. “Maybe this is the last time you hear from me.” I was shocked with these two sentences. Like him, millions of people are facing inhuman conditions in Venezuela right now. It was not easy for him to reach me. He had to write a letter, give it to his brother who was visiting and his brother sent it to me from abroad. International phone calls are blocked. All the letters they send are opened, as well as everything they receive is opened and checked. There is no privacy, no liberty of expression and “big brother” is watching 24/7. Even their internet access is limited and controlled. And the military in the streets is ready to use violence and to make detentions. Like millions of Venezuelans, my friend goes to bed feeling hungry and wakes up feeling hungry. After nine hours in a line, he might get some flour. Yesterday it was actually a good day; it only took him only six hours in a line to get some basic food. So far, he has already lost 33 pounds (15 kilos). One was praised as the great depression “food miracle”. The people that knew about it banished hunger for good…while the rest where starving and tightening their belts! Not only that you will learn the exact process of making it the right way, but you’ll use it to preserve meat in it and create one of the most finger-licking, mouth-watering tastiest foods you’ll ever eat. And the best part? It lasts up to two whole years without refrigeration. The other food was also long-lasting. Invented by one of the most vicious samurais in history, it was born out of war and necessity. So don’t expect a gourmet meal here – but do expect this “samurai superfood” to be so nutrient rich and probiotic-packed that you and your entire family won’t need anything else for months on end. With these 3 superfoods alone, you’ll probably have a complete stockpile in your group and you’ll never need to depend on anyone else in times of crisis. Watch the video below and learn more. Many kids don’t go to school and are standing in the food lines with their parents. Others go to school, but many faint, because of hunger and malnourishment. The worst situation happens if someone gets sick, or needs hospital treatment. Hospitals have no conditions and many doctors have left the country. Medicine cabinets in hospitals and pharmacies are as empty as the supermarket shelves. My friend has asthma and he cannot find medicine, a nebulizer and drops anywhere. Together with other international friends, we tried to contact him to get him help. However, even our help is extremely difficult to reach him. First, he cannot receive foreign money. Second, he cannot have a passport to leave the country, unless he pays a lot of money to a corrupt public worker. But then again, with his income of $29 a month, that would be impossible. There are no basic goods there either. He was taking showers only with water until a friend from abroad sent him 10 soaps, from which he only received half, the rest was taken away as bribery. Before this economic crisis devastated Venezuela, my friend used to be an engineer with a good life, a house, and a car. Now he is almost starving, his rights are all gone and there is little we can do to help him. All media in the country is controlled by President Nicolás Maduro. CNN in Spanish was banned. And the government makes a lot of fake propaganda. Maduro’s Twitter account is publishing photos of big smiles, hugs, and people celebrating life, pretending that Venezuela is a wonderful country and trying to cover up reality. Of course, political opposition is not allowed either, the Supreme Court has upheld the almost 14 years in jail sentence of the opposition leader, Leopoldo López. As my friend expressed, “Every Venezuelan depends on the government, there are no private institutions and all public ones are taken by the government, there is no escape.” Remember the rolling blackouts, the shortages of common supplies, like toilet paper, the eating of zoo animals (and domestic animals) because people were starving, the looting, and the spikes in crime? Yeah, that’s all coming from the socialist utopia of Venezuela. The medical system has also totally collapsed, with hospitals not having basic items like gloves or soap. One doctor described the situation as “something out of the 19th century.” Then, there’s the footage of Venezuelans eating out of garbage cans because of the food shortage. On average, people have lost 19 pounds due to food shortages. It’s a total disaster and Venezuelans are dying: By morning, three newborns were already dead. The day had begun with the usual hazards: chronic shortages of antibiotics, intravenous solutions, even food. Then a blackout swept over the city, shutting down the respirators in the maternity ward. Doctors kept ailing infants alive by pumping air into their lungs by hand for hours. By nightfall, four more newborns had died. “The death of a baby is our daily bread,” said Dr. Osleidy Camejo, a surgeon in the nation’s capital, Caracas, referring to the toll from Venezuela’s collapsing hospitals. At a time when the country needs government services the most, they’re only working two days a week. The people are hungry, law and order have broken down, the hospitals are disaster zones, and the nation is so broke it can’t even print its own currency. Sadly, the same Venezuela that used to be a beautiful country, is now one of the worst places on Earth.

FBI Takes On ‘Islamophobia'

White nationalism seen as bigger threat than jihad terror.

January 31, 2018 Leo Hohmann

Two Michigan residents attended a quarterly BRIDGES meeting hosted by the Detroit office of the FBI recently that left them stunned by the blatant Islamist infiltration of the Bureau. BRIDGES is an FBI outreach program whose roots can be traced back to the initial years following the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The acronym stands for Building Respect in Diverse Groups to Enhance Sensitivity and involves FBI-hosted workshops for law enforcement and various immigrant communities. The workshops have been held in Boston, Detroit, New York, Chicago, Houston, Minneapolis-St. Paul and other cities. According to the FBI website, BRIDGES "brings together members of diverse communities and state, local, and federal law enforcement agencies to discuss issues and concerns within their communities." In southeastern Michigan, those diverse communities include an array of Islamic migrant enclaves, both Shia and Sunni, as well as Coptic, Chaldean and Assyrian Christians forced to flee their Middle Eastern homelands by the Islamic State and other jihadist groups. The outreaches can sometimes go to bizarre lengths to demonstrate the FBI's respect for Islam. In St. Paul, for example, the FBI boasted in its Oct. 7, 2014 edition of the Law Enforcement Bulletin that the local police department "hosted its first halal cookout" with the Somali Muslim community. The Jan. 10 BRIDGES meeting in Michigan serves as a fresh reminder of how the FBI has made a concerted effort to divert the eyes of law enforcement officers away from Muslim communities as potential breeding grounds for terror and refocus attention on "Islamophobic" American citizens. The meeting, held at the Troy Police and Fire Training Center in Oakland County, an affluent suburb of Detroit, was described as "painful to watch" by two guests who attended. Dick Manasseri, an activist with Secure Michigan and a resident of Oakland County, was one of about 80 people present. He and a friend were able to get in by way of a guest invitation from the American Middle Eastern Christian Congress, a regular attendee. But he said there was no emphasis placed on the plight of persecuted Middle Eastern Christians now living in Oakland County. Instead, almost the entire hour-and-a-half meeting was spent focusing on Islamic religious and cultural practices and trying to debunk any derogatory information police officers may have about Islamic ideology. The FBI's point person for this task was Bushra Alawie, a young female Muslim wearing a full head covering, or hijab. Alawie served in the Army National Guard and upon leaving the Guard in September 2016 the FBI hired her to be its "community outreach specialist" in Detroit. "I get that initial look like, ‘is that really Bushra’ because of my visibly Muslim attire," Alawie told Detroit's WXYZ-TV in 2016. “Immediately those rumors are dispelled and it’s business as usual.” Alawie admitted in the WXYZ interview that her real mission at the FBI is not to ferret out tips and information useful in the apprehension of terrorists but rather it is to "combat Islamophobia." That just happens to be the same exact mission of the Muslim Brotherhood-offshoot Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which has an entire division called the Department to Monitor and Combat Islamophobia. And while he did not attend on Jan. 10, CAIR's Michigan chapter head, Dawud Walid, has a standing invitation to the FBI's quarterly BRIDGES meetings in metro Detroit. Alawie went to great lengths to dismiss any concerns about the phrase "Allahu Akbar," so frequently shouted during the commission of Islamic terrorist attacks. "Allahu Akbar," she said, is: Said by Muslims 85 times a day Was said by Jews and Christians before Islam began Would be used to celebrate the birth of a child or in the prayer of a sick person It’s normal and not particularly associated with violent jihad. She explained that “jihad” means: An inner struggle – for her it's to "not eat cheesecake." Higher jihad – inner struggle Lower jihad – to defend one's property. She mentioned that “jihad” was even a name taken by Christian men on occasion and that there was an FBI employee of Palestinian descent whose name was Jihad. Philip Haney, a former armed Customs and Border Protection officer who became a founding member of the Department of Homeland Security in 2003 and a member of the Advanced Targeting Team before retiring in July 2015, said the FBI did not get to rolling out Bushra Alawie as an expert on terrorism overnight. It took years. When Haney tried to blow the whistle on Homeland Security ineptitude, he found himself investigated repeatedly before being exonerated and honorably discharged. "She wouldn't have been given that platform under the old rules," Haney said of Alawie. "These concessions to Islam have been developing for a long time." Haney said the campaign to sanitize Islam began right after 9/11 and was international in scope. Since at least 2005, "Combatting Islamophobia" on a global basis has been a top priority of the United Nations and the Muslim Brotherhood-dominated Organization of Islamic Cooperation, a 57-nation group of Muslim-majority nations that makes up the largest voting bloc at the U.N. The OIC adopted its 10-year Strategic Action Plan to Overcome Islamophobia in 2005, calling for nations to pass new laws "including deterrent punishments" for those guilty of Islamophobia. This crime was described as any speech that counters the OIC's statement that "Islam is the religion of moderation and tolerance." This 10-year plan served as the basis for the 2011 U.N. Human Rights Resolution 16/18, which encourages every nation in the world to pass hate-speech laws making "defamation of religion" a crime. Many nations in Western Europe, including the UK, Germany and Sweden obliged, as did Canada, and passed hate-speech laws geared toward punishing "Islamophobes." It was also around this same time frame – 2010 to 2012 – that lesson plans in public schools across the United States started incorporating large sections on Islam, emphasizing it as a religion of peace and tolerance. In 2013 the OIC opened an office in Brussels explicitly for the purpose of combatting Islamophobia in Europe. In February 2017 U.N. Secretary General Antonio Gutteres cited "Islamophobia" as the fuel that ignites global terrorism. This U.N. focus on Islamophobia came during the peak offensives of ISIS, al-Nusra and other jihadist groups in their genocide of Christian minorities in Iraq and Syria – exposing the global body's agenda as more concerned about speech deemed offensive to Muslims than beheadings, rapes and mass-murdering of Christians. One of the more crucial developments came in 2011 – the same year the U.N. adopted Resolution 16/18 – in the form of a letter sent by representatives of more than 50 Muslim organizations, many with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, requesting that Obama's then-deputy national security advisor John Brennan remove all references to Islam from FBI training manuals that were deemed offensive to Muslims. They also requested that the FBI and DHS rid themselves of all "biased experts" – people like Haney – and "immediately create an inter-agency task force to address the problem." Brennan and then-FBI chief Robert Mueller fell over like a stack of dominos. They immediately set about purging the Bureau of its best and brightest terrorism experts and scrubbing training manuals to the delight of CAIR and other offended Islamist organizations. Instead of true terrorism experts, police cadets would receive training from people like Bushra Alawie. Since most local police chiefs get instruction from the FBI Academy, the same drivel that now passes for training at the Bureau has filtered down to police departments across the U.S. Other highlights from the BRIDGES meeting: Troy Mayor Dane Slater welcomed the meeting attendees to the "most diverse city in Michigan." Troy Police Chief Gary Mayer, along with four of his senior officers, welcomed their federal counterparts from the FBI and witnessed the guidance provided by the FBI regarding the normalcy of "Allahu Akbar" and benevolent jihad. Praise was offered for the Obama-appointed former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade who was fired by Trump. Examples offered of domestic terrorism repeatedly focused on white supremacist groups, who are seen as more dangerous than Islamic terrorism according to the teaching of the previous administration and the United Nations-endorsed Strong Cities Network. Mental health was injected as an explanation for violent activity per the Muslim Brotherhood playbook. Celebration of the long-standing civil rights partnership between the FBI and the Muslim community was marked with recognition awards. "Everything was about welcoming, welcoming, welcoming," Manasseri said. "It was terribly discouraging, including when they talked about domestic terrorism and they kept coming back to white supremacism and how do you protect us from white nationalism? Stunning." To counter the watered-down message coming from the FBI, Manasseri said he has co-founded a project called Sharia Crime Stoppers with a retired police chief. "In order to honor their oath, local law enforcement must demand expert Sharia training," he said, adding that the Sharia Crime Stoppers training is free except for travel costs.

US military test to shoot down incoming dummy missile from Hawaii fails AGAIN as concerns grow over North Korea's developing nuclear program

A US missile test carried out to shoot down an incoming dummy missile from Hawaii failed, an official said on Wednesday

The SM-3 Block IIA missile was launched from an Aegis Ashore test site in Hawaii, but failed to hit another missile launched from an aircraft

Missile, which is being developed by Raytheon Co, is used to target intermediate range missiles and is being developed with Japan

By Dailymail.com Reporter and Reuters Published: 14:18 EST, 31 January 2018 | Updated: 08:08 EST, 1 February 2018

The US military carried out an unsuccessful test to shoot down an incoming dummy missile from Hawaii on Wednesday, a US official said, amid heightened concerns about North Korea's developing missile and nuclear program. The official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said a SM-3 Block IIA missile was launched from an Aegis Ashore test site in Hawaii, but failed to hit another missile launched from an aircraft. The missile, which is being developed by Raytheon Co, is used to target intermediate range missiles and is being developed with Japan. The Missile Defense Agency did not comment on the outcome of the test, but confirmed that one had taken place. 'The Missile Defense Agency and US Navy sailors manning the Aegis Ashore Missile Defense Test Complex (AAMDTC) conducted a live-fire missile flight test using a Standard-Missile (SM)-3 Block IIA missile launched from the Pacific Missile Range Facility, Kauai, Hawaii, Wednesday morning,' Mark Wright, a spokesman for the agency, said. A defense official said the test was a failure and investigators have opened a probe. Wednesday's failure comes after another unsuccessful test in June of the missile, but a test firing in February 2017 was successful. The US has so far spent about $2.2 billion on the system and Japan about $1 billion. According to Raytheon, the Block IIA missile is still in testing but is on track for deployment at sea and on land in Poland this year. The last year has seen ramped-up North Korean missile launches, some of them over Japanese territory, and its sixth and most powerful nuclear test. These actions have prompted a stepped-up US-led campaign to toughen UN sanctions, which Pyongyang has called an act of war. On Wednesday it was also confirmed that North Korea's leader, Kim Jong-Un, will move forward with a large-scale military parade, the day before the Winter Olympics begins in South Korea. Dozens of long-range missiles will be displayed along a route through North Korea's capital city of Pyongyang on February 8, two diplomatic sources with information on Jong-Un's intentions told CNN on Wednesday. The display of 'hundreds' of missiles and rockets would be intended 'to scare the hell out of the Americans,' said one of the sources. The news comes after President Donald Trump criticized Kim in his State of the Union address on Tuesday. He also celebrated North Korean defector Ji Seong-ho, along with the parents of Otto Warmbier, the American student who died shortly after spending 17 months in captivity in North Korea for the attempted theft of a propaganda poster from his hotel room. The event in Pyongyang is expected to include dozens of intercontinental-range Hwasong-15 missiles, which are the same missiles that were test-fired for the first time by Kim's military in late November, the sources said. The official purpose of the parade in North Korea is the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the country's military, but officials refuse to confirm what exactly is planned for the event.

"Continuity of Government" Bunker Located at "Resort" Where Members of Congress Traveled yesterday before train they were on Collided with Truck

Category: U.S. National News Thursday, 01 February 2018 05:18

By now, all of you know that on Wednesday, members of Congress were on a chartered AMTRAK train traveling from Washington, DC to the Greenbriar Resort in West Virginia for a "Retreat." That train somehow struck a truck which was crossing the railroad tracks. While the truck driver was killed, no members of Congress were seriously hurt. Did you ALSO know that beneath the Greenbriar Resort is a Continuity of Government Bunker built specifically for Congress? It's true. Did you also know that one of the Rothschild's, specifically David M. Rothschild, Tweeted before President trump's State of the Union address "no one is going to remember this speech in the morning?" Did Rothschild know (or think) that Congress was going to be wiped out in a train wreck? The Greenbrier's Bunker History Construction began in 1958 on the 112,544-square-foot bunker, which was built 720 feet into the hillside under The Greenbrier's West Virginia Wing. Once complete in 1961, the facility was maintained in a constant state of readiness by a small group of government employees working undercover as Forsythe Associates, a company hired by the resort for audio/visual support services. During its Eisenhower-Era use, The Bunker provided the following: Four entrances; three to The Greenbrier's grounds and one to the main building 25-ton blast door that opens with only 50 lbs. of pressure Decontamination chambers 18 dormitories, designed to accommodate over 1,100 people Power plant with purification equipment and three 25,000-gallon water storage tanks Three 14,000-gallon diesel fuel storage tanks Communications area, including television production area and audio recording booths Clinic with 12 hospital beds, medical and dental operating rooms Laboratory Pharmacy Intensive care unit Cafeteria Meeting rooms for the House and Senate, the Governor's Hall and Mountaineer room (See image below) Over the 30 years that it was an active facility, communications and other equipment were updated, keeping The Bunker at full-operation status. The location of the facility, critical to its effectiveness, remained a secret for more than three decades. On May 31, 1992, The Washington Post published an article which exposed the facility. As a direct result, the U.S. government began de-commissioning The Bunker and ended the lease agreement with The Greenbrier in 1995. From the Greenbriar Resort's Web Site Today, daily Bunker Tours are offered to registered hotel guests and the general public. The declassified Bunker at The Greenbrier is a must-see experience that takes you behind the scenes and walks you through a fascinating period in the resort's history. Carved deep into the mountainside beneath our West Virginia Wing is an emergency Cold War fallout shelter. Once a top secret U.S. government relocation facility for Congress, The Bunker is now open to anyone interested in reliving a legendary piece of The Greenbrier history. Bunker Tours provide a unique and in-depth look behind the hidden doors and let you explore an aspect of The Greenbrier that no other resort can claim. Reserve your place in our history today! BUNKER TOURS Bunker Tours are generally offered daily to registered hotel guests as well as the general public. Tours are approximately 90 minutes in length and are available for guests 10 years of age and older. HOURS (subject to change) 9:30am - 3:30pm, Daily RESERVATIONS General Tours: 844-223-3173 Groups (15+) & Private Tours: 304-536-7810 No tours are offered: April 9-12, 2018 October 29-November 1, 2018 December 25, 2018 TOUR RATES Adults: $39 per person Youth (10-18): $20 per youth Pricing above include 6% West Virginia sales tax and 6.5% Historic Preservation Fund Gratuity is not included PRIVATE TOURS Before 5:00pm: $850* per private tour + $25 gratuity (1-25 guests) 5:00pm - 6:30pm: $1,245* per private tour + $100 gratuity (1-25 guests) 6:30pm - 8:00pm: $1,245* per private tour + $150 gratuity (1-25 guests) *Gratuity, 6% West Virginia sales tax and 6.5% Historic Preservation Fund additional GUIDELINES Reservations are required.

HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBILITY The Bunker Tour is wheelchair accessible with the exception of the decontamination area and the lower level of the power plant. The decontamination area can be bypassed, and benches are available if one does not go down the 25 steps to the lower level of the power plant. Wheelchairs are available. If at all possible, it is preferable that guests supply their own wheelchairs. If an individual has mobility problems or uses a wheelchair, please notify us when making your reservation so that special arrangements can be made. Things "Decommissioned" can be Recommissioned If the Bunker was Decommissioned after the 1992 Washington Post story, it could be recommissioned. Why else would the Greenbriar web site from which the material above was obtained, tell "visitors" taking tours that "No cameras, electronic equipment or cell phones are permitted." What about the train accident yesterday? There are now numerous reports that Wednesday morning's collision between the truck(s) and the train was a "hit" - an ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT AGAINST CONGRESS! This is from Jim Stone's website. The newest information is at the top. CONFIRMED: THE CONGRESSMEN ABOARD THE TRAIN WERE SUPPOSED TO BE IN SESSION. THEY WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HEADED TO A "RESORT" THAT DOUBLES AS A DOOMSDAY (COG) FACILITY Adding to the credibility of the theory they were fleeing a threat is the fact that they had family members aboard the train, including children that should have been in school. OVERWHELMINGLY PROBABLE: THEY RECEIVED DEATH THREATS OVER THE MEMO, AND WERE HEADING TO A SAFE PLACE WHEN THEY WERE STOPPED BY A STAGED "ACCIDENT" UPDATE: CONFIRMED - They did not turn back, they continued on to the safe facility in buses, including the injured. THAT THERE ALONE SAYS IT ALL. Here's the story, which is all now 100 percent confirmed. A majority of Republican congressmen who voted to release the Fisa memo, which exposes an enormous amount of deep state corruption, were on an escorted train when they were supposed to be in session, with all roads closed ahead of the train (for security reasons) and the train receiving helicopter escort. Despite all the roads being closed, the train hit a garbage truck while going 70 mph. The front wheels of the front engine derailed, but the rear wheels stayed on the tracks. With all the roads closed for security reasons, the only way the garbage truck could have gotten in the way of the train would be if it was done intentionally. Even some Congressmen are now saying the accident had to have been staged, and that it was an attempt to kill a large number of congressmen who voted to release the memo. Large numbers of deaths would have occurred if the train did derail, (as planned) but with the will of God it mostly stayed on the tracks and none of the cars or engines tipped over. If that had happened at 70 MPH the results would have been devastating. HEADS UP: Rogue factions in the United States government are attempting a violent coup with "plausible deniability. Fortunately only minor injuries happened, but having this end up being minor defies all probability, it was supposed to be a disaster and it was definitely, without question, not an accident. My original coverage of this topic follows: BOOM: BLOCKBUSTER UPDATE: IT IS NOW CONFIRMED THIS WAS AN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT ON MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. ALL THE ROADS WERE SHUT DOWN AHEAD OF THE TRAIN, WHICH HAD HELICOPTER ESCORT. THERE'S NO WAY THE GARBAGE TRUCK COULD HAVE BEEN WHERE IT WAS, ABSENT AN OUTRIGHT ATTEMPT TO GET IT IN FRONT OF THE TRAIN. Uh oh! "Choppers were following the train and the rail road crossings were supposed to be shut down for the senators to have priority per Rachel Campos Duffy, wife of Sean Duffy R-WI on Fox" THIS IS NOW A CONFIRMED HIT ON REPUBLICAN SENATORS WHO VOTED TO RELEASE THE MEMO. The photos of the accident scene are a little misleading, the train in fact hit the dump truck at the prior crossing, and carried it to the next crossing. the train did not just stop on a dime. CHARTERED TRAIN LOAD OF REPUBLICAN SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES HAD AN ACCIDENT EVERYONE SUSPECTED THERE WOULD BE A FALSE FLAG, AND BOOOOOM! WE JUST HAD IT. BOOM: SESSIONS HAS ANNOUNCED HE THINKS THE COLLISION WAS COORDINATED AND NOT AN ACCIDENT. Most likely the train was sent into a truck that had been hijacked via remote and driven with precision straight into the train's path. UPDATE: It is now confirmed the train did not hit the brakes, which means they were probably disabled via remote. UPDATE: It now appears that TWO trucks were involved. The initial hit was an 18 wheeler, and the second hit was a dump truck at a different crossing. That is why the dump truck is close to where the train stopped. This still needs confirmation, but it is the only thing that matches reports, senators are saying there were two impacts, and they are reporting the big hit was a semi. Two separate trucks is not yet confirmed. UPDATE: THE PEOPLE ON THE TRAIN WERE THOSE WHO VOTED TO RELEASE THE MEMO. UPDATE: The attack was (SORT OF) a failure. It is obvious the deep state wanted a 70 MPH derailment so the cars would flip and kill people. That did not happen, the train stayed on the tracks. UPDATE: People are speculating that the truck was electronically hijacked and shut off when it was on the tracks. I'd say that is highly plausible. Here's how that would be done: The train's location and speed is known. All the garbage trucks have chips in them to let central management know where they are. So the speed of the train and the velocity of the truck was matched (via remote) to create a collision where it looked like the truck driver was trying to beat the train. He's dead and can't speak up. Case closed. UPDATE: NOW CONFIRMED. THE TRAIN WAS GOING 70 MPH AND THE OBVIOUS GOAL WAS TO GET IT TO FLIP AND KILL EVERYONE. THAT DID NOT HAPPEN, IT STAYED ON THE TRACKS Everyone was thrown from their seats, and there are mixed reports about injuries, people who were on the train are tweeting that many people got head injuries because the impact was severe, and that one has a broken leg. Rumor that the train engineer is dead. Confirmed the truck driver is dead. That way he can't talk. This is an obvious setup. The train hit a very heavy truck. Since it was a fleet vehicle it overwhelmingly probably had a tracking chip, and anything less than 14 years old now can be controlled via remote. OBVIOUS: After Trump's state of the union success and memo release, a hit was put out on Republican lawmakers and someone sent the Amtrak they were on into a truck in an effort to kill as many as possible, all at once. They were on their way to a retreat on a specially chartered Amtrak, all in one place at the same time, and someone made an attempt to kill as many as possible. I am gathering details now. Folks, this is an obvious setup. There's no way such an event happened by accident with such perfect timing, THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SETUP, someone wanted as many Republican lawmakers taken out of commission as possible, all with "plausible deniability." VIDEO OF CRASH SCENE So if local roads near the train tracks were all "closed" for security, then how did the truck get to the train tracks? If there was a helicopter above the train providing security, how could the collision even take place? Didn't the helicopter see the unauthorized truck? Didn't the helicopter radio the train telling it to stop? ROTHSCHILD TWEET David M.

Shocking Story From West Virginia Proves 'Big Pharma' Is The Biggest 'Drug Pusher' In America - Is President Trump Preparing To Take On 'The Big Pharma Mafia'?

By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die February 1, 2018

While according to this recent story over at far-left Vox, 'big pharma' had won 'round 1' in the fight against President Donald Trump and his goals to get the pharmaceutical industry to lower their prices, as several ANP readers pointed out in the comment section of this ANP State of the Union open thread, President Trump has just made his future intentions known. Not only lashing out at big pharma's high drug prices but also the horrific opioid problem in America and the difficulty of people dying from terminal diseases to gain access to experimental, alternative health options, as ANP reader Phil S commented, "Yes ....... He declared war against Big Pharma ......... He's serious about "fair trade" policies as far as I can tell.." And while the SOTU won't translate into noticeable results overnight and 'big pharma' still has one of the most powerful lobbying arms in Washington DC, we could hear the anger and frustration in President Trump's voice as he brought up some outstanding points, including the fact that people in other countries pay far less than Americans do for the same medications as big pharma's lobbying arm and their bought and paid for politicians feed the opioid crisis in America according to this October 2017 story from the Guardian. With President Trump also targeting the 'dealers and pushers' who have helped spread their scourge of death across America, helping to make opioid overdoses the leading cause of death among young Americans, it's clear that 'big pharma' and their enablers in Congress are the biggest 'pushers', pushing their poisons into big cities and small towns across America. Perfectly exemplified in this new story from National Public Radio West Virginia which recently reported that drug distributors had shipped 20.8 million painkillers between in nearly a decade into a West Virginia town of only 3,000 people, is it any wonder that the great state of West Virginia led the nation with the highest rate of drug overdose deaths? As this new Ars Technica story reports, an ongoing investigation by the House Energy and Commerce Committee has come up with some absolutely startling numbers. From their story.: Drug companies hosed tiny towns in West Virginia with a deluge of addictive and deadly opioid pills over the last decade, according to an ongoing investigation by the House Energy and Commerce Committee. For instance, drug companies collectively poured 20.8 million hydrocodone and oxycodone pills into the small city of Williamson, West Virginia, between 2006 and 2016, according to a set of letters the committee released Tuesday. Williamson’s population was just 3,191 in 2010, according to US Census data. “These numbers are outrageous, and we will get to the bottom of how this destruction was able to be unleashed across West Virginia,” committee Chairman Greg Walden (R-Ore.) and ranking member Frank Pallone Jr. (D-N.J.) said in a joint statement to the Charleston Gazette-Mail. The nation is currently grappling with an epidemic of opioid addiction and overdose deaths. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that, on average, 115 Americans die each day from opioid overdoses. West Virginia currently has the highest rate of drug overdose deaths in the country. The letters released Tuesday are addressed to two regional drug distributors, Ohio-based Miami-Luken and Illinois-based HD Smith. Both companies have distributed eye-popping numbers of pills to small cities in the state. In the letters, the committee lays out distribution data it has collected and asks questions about the companies’ distribution practices, including why they increased distribution so sharply in some towns and why they didn’t flag suspicious orders. But Miami-Luken and HD Smith are not the only distributors that have drawn the committee’s attention. The letters are just the latest in the committee’s ongoing probe into what it calls “pill dumping” amid the opioid crisis. Last year, the committee sent similar letters to three other drug companies, asking about their drug distribution in the state. The committee also sent a letter to Miami-Luken asking for information about its distribution practices and orders in West Virginia, among other things. While individuals selling drugs will get locked away for a long time for pushing drugs into communities, why are big pharma groups such as Miami-Luken, HD Smith and the list goes on being permitted to do the same thing under the cover of 'legality'? As President Trump pointed out in his speech, there have been far too many Americans killed via accidental overdose of poisons created by these companies. While we understand that painkilling medications will always play their proper role in society, alternative health practitioners and natural products have given Americans numerous less-deadly and as efficient alternatives. As Mike Adams recently reported over at Natural News, in what was an absolutely riveting State of the Union speech, "President Trump targeted Big Pharma's price monopolies", a moment within his speech that immediately led Susan Duclos to remark to me that President Trump better triple his security. With what appears to be an all-out war upon alternative and holistic health practitioners with at least 84 dead since 2015 as Erin Elizabeth has been steadfastly keeping track of over at Health Nut News, those particular remarks by President Trump showing a willingness to go after 'big pharma' prices and the inability of the dying to easily try experiment treatments were certainly one of the high points in the speech for us along with his slam-dunk "Americans are dreamers, too" along with his asking Americans to stand for the National Anthem and respect our glorious flag. Yet as commenter David S wisely mentions as seen in the comment screenshot below from that Natural News story, dating back decades, the FDA and DEA have given big pharma the monopoly they have long exploited while attempting to demonize alternative medicines such as cannabis and kratom, with Congress making them illegal to help maximize big pharma's profits. davids_comment.png With such a corrupt system long firmly entrenched, we certainly won't be holding our breaths waiting for the changes that President Trump has emphasized yet as Erin Elizabeth also pointed out in this January 26th story over at Health Nut News, President Trump may have just made the first BIG step in stopping mandatory vaccinations via a press release that "he has created a new division in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) — the Conscience and Religious Freedom Division." This coming at a time when there is great concern about a possibly weaponized flu killing people across America with concerns flu vaccines are actually spreading the flu according to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences which found that "people who receive flu shots emit 630% more flu virus particles into the air" than the unvaccinated. When we add in the fact that many flu-shot vaccinated children are dying from the flu all across America as Mike Adams also recently reported over at Natural News as is also heard in the first video below, we urge President Trump to follow through in his attempts to take down those pushing deadly drugs into America's big cities and small towns while making experimental treatment options available for those fighting terminal diseases, despite what big pharma and their friends in Congress might think.

Clark County Coroner releases 58 autopsy reports, all names redacted, no ballistics, Stephen Paddock’s autopsy kept secret

By Lexi Morgan - February 1, 2018, @8:43 am EST

It appears that a further cover-up is underway in regards to the 1 October massacre in which 58 people were killed LAS VEGAS (INTELLIHUB) — The Coroner finally released the autopsy for the 58 victims but not for the alleged shooter Stephen Paddock after a judge ruled that the coroner release all the documents and pay $32,000 in legal fees. Not only did the coroner drag his feet and release the autopsy reports late Wednesday but all of the names are redacted in the reports and there is no mention of ballistic data, bullet caliber, or trajectories. Although, the report does state that recovered bullet fragments were turned over to the police. Moreover, against public law, the coroner has still not released the autopsy report for “Stephen Paddock” after an Intellihub article definitively proved the body recovered in Mandalay Bay room 32-135 was not Paddock’s. In fact, the coroner claims that he still has to “finalize” the report despite the fact the autopsy was conducted.

It is not something new my children, for if you read what I have written and don’t add in to it, you will have a clear picture of everything that is taking place and you will even understand exactly where you are.  For I have spoken to you about the antichrist taking on his new spirit, that should tell you something by itself, that alone is a giant key that I have given unto my church that they may wake up and walk in the fullness of the things that I have given unto them.  Remember this winter it is not over, I will keep this area safe, it will be far safer than other areas, but winter is not over.

The rise of the Antichrist and modern technology. All they need is the right conditions: a totalitarian world dictatorship to put it into effect

February 1, 2018 danama Alternative

With modern technology and advanced systems, computer chips and hi-tech surveillance, “Big Brother” is watching, and it’s now “all systems go!” Everything’s falling into place for the global economy to take off, and the technology and necessary computing power are with us now, the actual infrastructure is already in place, developed, tested and proven. The Anti-Christ world leader will be the author of confusion, the master counterfeiter, and through his many images he will deceive the nations. The Antichrist will come on the world stage peaceably, with flatteries, via powerful persuasion and propaganda. By this means he is able to creep into houses and lead captive the masses. Through his many images and idols he shows himself clever, for acceptance of his 666 mark of the Beast (Revelation 13:16-18) will be the fashion–the logical, the reasonable, the convenient, the safest, the securest, the vital, the norm, that which is accepted in the eyes of man, both small and great. It’s getting darker and colder all the time, and many people in the world can feel it. They may not understand it, and they don’t always want to admit it, but it’s happening. The sun is setting, the darkness is falling, and the world is looking for hope, for some ray of light. The nations question “Why this and why that? Why all the pain and strife in the world? Why the slaughter of the innocents? Why troubles and sorrows?” These questions are being raised in people’s hearts and minds, and those whose foundations have been built on the sand, or others who had no foundations to begin with, have no answers. Never in all of history until now has the technology existed for a world dictatorship to rule the world. All they need is the right conditions: a totalitarian world dictatorship to put it into effect. The Antichrist government will use the computer to rule the world in the form of an image to the antichrist. The image of the Beast! REVELATION 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast (Antichrist); saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast (Antichrist), which had the wound by a sword, and did live. REVELATION 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. REVELATION 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: REVELATION 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. REVELATION 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. 666 The technology for the Antichrist’s One World monetary system and “Mark of the Beast” is already developed and ready to be put into effect. Just think, all the peoples of the Earth united, on the same wavelength, the same channel. All around, every single day, there are signs of the coming End, signs of the Antichrist, signs of the coming One World Order. Man’s knowledge has also increased in these last two years, as it has in other recent years, but it now heads in more dangerous directions than in the past, including attempts to clone human beings, fuse man and beast in the embryo, or genetically modify man. As men seek to unravel the secrets of life, they also seek to combine it with machine. They seek new and improved robots to serve man, giving them artificial intelligence and mobility such as they’ve not had before. They seek to make man himself more of a machine, implanting chips, sensors, and electrodes to enhance man’s powers and intelligence. These chips and implants come with many benign purposes: They increase security for children and protect them from abduction; they monitor criminals; they check the health of their subjects and release medicine into the body; they make identification quick and easy; they prevent fraud; they monitor and increase productivity; they make life more convenient in many ways. In the last two years we’ve seen a great increase in the knowledge that has made such things possible and public acceptance of the devices themselves. Despite the promises of technology, modern comforts and conveniences, and affluence unknown in the past, poverty persists. War threatens. Disease stalks and kills many. The world thinks they’ve entered the great new age of technology, and the 21st century is going to thrust them into the greatest glories of their “techno-age.” The technology known as biometrics, for example, the process of collecting, processing and storing details of a person’s physical characteristics, has excited the interest of governments and companies because, unlike other forms of ID (cards, papers, etc.), it knows the target human as well as a mother knows her children. The most popular forms of biometric identification are retina scans, hand geometry, thumb scans, fingerprints, voice recognition, and digitized photographs. This is the sort of power that will be needed to run the Antichrist’s computers and government. here’s nothing intrinsically wrong with the technology and being able to do things faster and better. But these will be useful mechanisms of the Antichrist’s New World Order. Technology has broken down borders and nations are becoming less important, which will make the creation of his one-world government relatively simpler. It’s happening so gradually that global government will just be a logical next step. The world will accept him, only to find that the heaven on earth he’s promised them has become hell on earth, with hell hereafter for those who take his 666 Mark of the Beast. They’re trying to control living beings with technology, with chips that they’ve finally managed to incorporate in their brains. And they’ll go on developing that technology until it reaches its apex in the Mark of the Beast, with which evil men would seek to control and monitor men even more. Are you ready for these great and final events of the end? You can get ready now by receiving Jesus into your heart. Simply pray this little prayer and He will come in: “Dear Jesus, I believe that You are the Son of God and that You died for me. Please forgive me for all my sins. I ask You, Jesus, to please come into my heart and give me Your free Gift of Eternal Life.

The magnetic field is shifting, the poles are flipping and this will get really bad!

By Strange Sounds - Jan 31, 2018

The shield that protects the Earth from solar radiation is under attack from within. We can’t prevent it, but we ought to prepare. ONE DAY in 1905, the French geophysicist Bernard Brunhes brought back to his lab some rocks he’d unearthed from a freshly cut road near the village of Pont Farin. When he analyzed their magnetic properties, he was astonished at what they showed: Millions of years ago, the Earth’s magnetic poles had been on the opposite sides of the planet. North was south and south was north. The discovery spoke of planetary anarchy. Scientists had no way to explain it. Today, we know that the poles have changed places hundreds of times, most recently 780,000 years ago. Sometimes, the poles try to reverse positions but then snap back into place, in what is called an excursion. The last time was about 40,000 years ago. We also know that when they flip next time, the consequences for the electrical and electronic infrastructure that runs modern civilization will be dire. The question is when that will happen. In the past few decades, geophysicists have tried to answer that question through satellite imagery and math. They have figured out how to peer deep inside the Earth, to the edge of the molten, metallic core where the magnetic field is continually being generated. It turns out that the dipole — the orderly two-pole magnetic field our compasses respond to — is under attack from within. The latest satellite data, from the European Space Agency’s Swarm trio, which began reporting in 2014, show that a battle is raging at the edge of the core. Like factions planning a coup, swirling clusters of molten iron and nickel are gathering strength and draining energy from the dipole. The north magnetic pole is on the run, a sign of enhanced turbulence and unpredictability. A cabal in the Southern Hemisphere has already gained the upper hand over about a fifth of the Earth’s surface. A revolution is shaping up. If these magnetic blocs gain enough strength and weaken the dipole even more, they will force the north and south poles to switch places as they strive to regain supremacy. Scientists can’t say for sure that is happening now — the dipole could beat back the interlopers. But they can say that the phenomenon is intensifying and that they can’t rule out the possibility that a reversal is beginning. It’s time to wake up to the dangers and start preparing. The Earth’s magnetic field protects our planet from dangerous solar and cosmic rays, like a giant shield. As the poles switch places (or try to), that shield is weakened; scientists estimate that it could waste away to as little as a tenth of its usual force. The shield could be compromised for centuries while the poles move, allowing malevolent radiation closer to the surface of the planet for that whole time. Already, changes within the Earth have weakened the field over the South Atlantic so much that satellites exposed to the resulting radiation have experienced memory failure. That radiation isn’t hitting the surface yet. But at some point, when the magnetic field has dwindled enough, it could be a different story. Daniel Baker, director of the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado, Boulder, one of the world’s experts on how cosmic radiation affects the Earth, fears that parts of the planet will become uninhabitable during a reversal. The dangers: devastating streams of particles from the sun, galactic cosmic rays, and enhanced ultraviolet B rays from a radiation-damaged ozone layer, to name just a few of the invisible forces that could harm or kill living creatures. How bad could it be? Scientists have never established a link between previous pole reversals and catastrophes like mass extinctions. But the world of today is not the world of 780,000 years ago, when the poles last reversed, or even 40,000 years ago, when they tried to. Today, there are nearly 7.6 billion people on Earth, twice as many as in 1970. We have drastically changed the chemistry of the atmosphere and the ocean with our activities, impairing the life support system of the planet. Humans have built huge cities, industries and networks of roads, slicing up access to safer living spaces for many other creatures. We have pushed perhaps a third of all known species toward extinction and have imperiled the habitats of many more. Add cosmic and ultraviolet radiation to this mix, and the consequences for life on Earth could be ruinous. And the perils are not just biological. The vast cyber-electric cocoon that has become the central processing system of modern civilization is in grave danger. Solar energetic particles can rip through the sensitive miniature electronics of the growing number of satellites circling the Earth, badly damaging them. The satellite timing systems that govern electric grids would be likely to fail. The grid’s transformers could be torched en masse. Because grids are so tightly coupled with each other, failure would race across the globe, causing a domino run of blackouts that could last for decades. But these dangers are rarely considered by those whose job it is to protect the electronic pulse of civilization. More satellites are being put into orbit with more highly miniaturized – and therefore more vulnerable – electronics. The electrical grid becomes more interconnected every day, despite the greater risks from solar storms. No lights. No computers. No cellphones. Even flushing a toilet or filling a car’s gas tank would be impossible. And that’s just for starters. One of the best ways of protecting satellites and grids from space weather is to predict precisely where the most damaging force will hit. Operators could temporarily shut down a satellite or disconnect part of the grid. But progress on learning how to track damaging space weather has not kept pace with the exponential increase in technologies that could be damaged by it. And private satellite operators aren’t collating and sharing information about how their electronics are withstanding space radiation, a practice that could help everyone protect their gear. We have blithely built our civilization’s critical infrastructure during a time when the planet’s magnetic field was relatively strong, not accounting for the field’s bent for anarchy. Not only is the field turbulent and ungovernable, but, at this point, it is But these dangers are rarely considered by those whose job it is to protect the electronic pulse of civilization. More satellites are being put into orbit with more highly miniaturized – and therefore more vulnerable – electronics.  etc

In New York, Gun Owners Balk At New Handgun Database

This week marked the official deadline for more than 370,000 handgun owners in the state of New York to register those guns with state police. New York is trying to use that information to build a comprehensive record of gun owners — something only one other state has done. The database that California started in 2007 has gotten mixed reviews. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, has said he wants to make sure that people who can’t legally own guns – those with criminal convictions, serious mental health issues, or active restraining orders — aren’t somehow falling through the cracks and holding onto their firearms. Anyone who took out a handgun license in New York before 2013 — the year the state passed a landmark gun control law — had to contact state police by Jan. 31 or risk criminal charges. That’s caused a real backlash, particularly among rural gun owners, who don’t entirely trust their state’s intentions. A common sense plan? The Albany Gun Show is a winter fixture in upstate New York. On the show’s opening day in mid-January, Tom King, president of the NRA-affiliated New York State Rifle and Pistol Association, posted up beyond all the folding tables stacked with rifles and holsters. King said he spent hours and hours answering a question that seemed to be on everyone’s mind. “People are saying, ‘Do I have to register or don’t I have to register?’ So yeah,” King said. “There is a lot of confusion.” The confusion, he said, is about why the state of New York wants information for its new handgun database. It’s actually been on the books since 2013. In the months after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, several states adopted tougher gun control measures. New York passed a law known as the SAFE Act, which banned most assault weapons. Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he wanted to go even further. “We’ll have for the first time a statewide handgun database that will allow the state, allow local officials to check periodically,” Cuomo said. The plan lawmakers approved calls for detailed information on hundreds of thousands of legally licensed handgun owners and their weapons – down to make, model and serial numbers. Some of that information was already available on gun permit applications filed at county clerk’s offices across the state, but it was often outdated or incomplete. State police will build a database they can check against criminal records, alerts filed by mental health professionals, and restraining orders. Only law enforcement can see the information, not the public. Cuomo described it as a system based on common sense. “You don’t want criminals and people who are mentally ill to have guns,” he said. Once the law passed, state police began collecting information from every person who applied for a new handgun permit. “You can’t make them criminals.” The SAFE Act has been popular in urban areas, according to polling data. But some rural gun owners have resisted from the beginning. As the first big handgun registration deadline approached this winter, for people who got their guns prior to 2013, the pushback grew more intense. Talk radio host Bill Robinson has lashed out at the state on “The Second Amendment Radio Show,” which he hosts for a small station near Rochester. “The government shouldn’t have master lists of us gun owners and the specific guns we have,” Robinson said in a recent episode. “They don’t need it!” A lot of gun owners are angry. While they can agree that so-called “bad guys” shouldn’t have access to weapons, some fear that New York is trying to turn them into those bad guys. It goes back to the penalties associated with this registration process. The SAFE Act says failure to register handguns is a felony offense — and gun permits are automatically revoked. “You just can’t do that to people that live in your state, that are lawful gun owners,” Tom King said. “You can’t make them, overnight, criminals.” King is most worried about those who had handguns before the 2013 law went into effect, but all handgun owners will have to check back in every five years. No response from 81,000 gun owners As of the deadline, more than 81,000 people – or 20 percent of affected handgun owners in New York – haven’t responded to the state’s request. But New York State Police spokesman Beau Duffy argues that concern about this gun database has been overblown. He said felony charges are off the table for now. “We’re not going to take criminal enforcement action, particularly with those people who were unaware of this re-certification process,” Duffy said. The next big question is how this registry is going to be used and who’s going to follow up with gun owners. Laura Cutilletta, legal director for the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, believes it could be a game-changer for police. “This kind of tool seems like something law enforcement would really welcome and would make a priority if they can,” Cutilletta said. “Because to know who is determined to be dangerous already and has a gun — I mean, what better information could you give law enforcement than something like that?” But Cutilletta doesn’t think these systems will start popping up nationwide. They’re too expensive, she said. New York set aside $28 million for its database, and California tucked away $24 million. Instead, Cutilletta said, she and other gun control advocates are pushing for new kinds of restraining orders – called “extreme risk protection orders.” They allow families and police to take their concerns to court and request permission from a judge to take guns away from people who could potentially do harm. California, Washington, and Oregon have already passed legislation allowing these protection orders. New York’s lawmakers are considering a similar bill this year.

TRUTH about Davos? World Economic Forum is REALLY an Illuminati gathering - claims

THE Davos World Economic Forum is a meeting of the alleged sinister Illuminati global elite, who are plotting to create a global government, conspiracy theorists have claimed.

By Jon Austin

PUBLISHED: 18:08, Wed, Jan 24, 2018 | UPDATED: 18:19, Wed, Jan 24, 2018

The international event, attended by world political and business leaders, starts today until Friday in Davos, in the Swiss Alps. Officially, the WEF is a Swiss non-profit foundation, set up in 1971 to "improve the state of the world by engaging business, political, academic, and other leaders of society to shape global, regional, and industry agendas". British Prime Minister Theresa May will meet US President Donald Trump and share the stage with Tony Blair and Angela Merkel, to discuss the global economy and the future of Europe after Brexit. But, according to conspiracy theorists, who believe a secret Illuminati of global leaders actually run all world governments, the WEF is actually part of a sinister plot to create a New World Order. The Illuminati conspiracy theory claims a secret elite runs the world from behind the scenes and is attempting to install the New World Order upon the Earth, which would ultimately be one global Government controlled by them. There is no real evidence to support the myth, but many people across the world subscribe to it. Conspiracy theorist Titus Frost said in a YouTube video: "The WEF is an annual meeting of a bunch of world elite Illuminati who all come out to tell us what exciting things they have planned for us." Conspiracy theory website www.texemarrs.com describes the event as "the Illuminati’s annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland". Arch conspiracy theorist David Icke also believes the WEF is an Illuminati gathering, and in an article on his website claimed the global elite were running scared of the so-called populism of Brexit and Donald Trump which threatens to de-stabilise the "New World Order" plot. Icke wrote: "The great and the good of Davos agree they have a problem with populism. Finding a solution is the hard part. "On the second day of the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting (2017) in the Swiss Alps, delegates disagreed on how best to address the upending of the western political order, a debate made doubly urgent by the string of elections in Europe this year where anti-establishment parties could gain more ground. "While International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde urged a list of policies from programs to retrain workers to more social spending, others fretted that the turbulence is only starting. "Hedge fund billionaire Ray Dalio warned on a panel chaired by Bloomberg Television’s Francine Lacqua that 'we may be at a point where globalisation is ending, and provincialisation and nationalisation is taking hold'". Conspiracy website beforeitsnews.com wrote an article on how it was disturbed by the fact that the WEF discussed meditation being good for business at the 2015 meeting. The article, entitled 'This is a very unusual event at the World Economic Forum, and it's diagnostic of something much larger that is happening', said: "World leaders are actively creating a one world government and religion and it is going full steam ahead! "These world leaders OPENED THEIR MINDS willingly to the satanic powers of this world! "The world leaders that control the economy of nations not only want to create a One World Government, they also come with a religion as well. "It is a pagan religion based on idols and the worship of self, and it has begun to openly manifest itself at the highest levels of business. "That is why this year at the Davos conference, the world’s most-powerful money men and women silenced themselves and handed over control of their minds to the gods of this world.” But according to fellow conspiracy theory website Illuminati-news.com, the WEF and the annual G8 Summit, are "mere sideshows" for the Illuminati, with the major event being the annual Bilderberg meeting. Set up in 1954, the Bilderberg Group holds a global top-secret meeting for world political and business leaders, and is seen as the public face of the Illuminati. It has been described as the world’s most secretive gathering of global leaders and elites, with prime ministers and presidents, bankers and former heads of the CIA and MI6 topping the guest list for 2016 in Dresden, Germany. The outlandish claims are completely denied by the organisers of both the WEF and the Bilderberg meeting, who say they are just talks designed to help improve the world as a whole.

Trump pushes hardline immigration policies even as he urges unity

Steve Holland, Jeff Mason

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump urged lawmakers on Tuesday to work toward bipartisan compromises, but pushed a hard line on immigration, insisting on a border wall and other concessions from Democrats as part of any deal to protect the children of illegal immigrants. Trump, in his first State of the Union speech, gave no ground on the contentious issue of whether to shield young immigrants known as “Dreamers” from deportation. Aiming to keep conservative supporters happy as he looks to November congressional elections, Trump stood by a set of principles opposed by Democrats, including the border wall with Mexico and new restrictions on how many family members that legal immigrants can bring into the United States. “Tonight, I call upon all of us to set aside our differences, to seek out common ground, and to summon the unity we need to deliver for the people we were elected to serve,” Trump said in his address. Trump used the hour-and-20-minute speech, given annually by presidents to Congress, to try to overcome doubts about his presidency at a time when he is battling a probe into his campaign’s alleged ties with Russia and suffering low job approval ratings. Trump made no mention of the federal probe into whether his campaign colluded with Russia in the 2016 presidential election, a controversy that is dogging his presidency. Trump has denied collusion and has called the probe a “witch hunt.” The speech was short on details about Trump’s policy proposals. But his sober, measured approach was welcomed by the public. A CNN/SSRS snap poll said 48 percent of those surveyed had a “very positive” response to the speech and 22 percent “somewhat positive.” There was little sign of unity inside the House of Representatives chamber where Trump spoke. Republican lawmakers cheered wildly at the president’s applause lines. Democrats often sat in their seats silently and many booed when he laid out his immigration proposals. DENOUNCES NORTH KOREAN LEADERSHIP Turning to foreign policy late in the speech, Trump denounced the “depraved character” of North Korea’s leadership and said Pyongyang’s “reckless pursuit of nuclear missiles could very soon threaten our homeland.” “We are waging a campaign of maximum pressure to prevent that from happening,” he said. In a surprise moment, he singled out a North Korea defector in the crowd, Ji Seong-ho, as an example of what he called the reclusive country’s brutal nature. Trump also said he had signed an order to keep open the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, for foreign terrorism suspects. Former Democratic President Barack Obama had vowed to close the prison, which has been condemned by human rights groups, but was unable to shut it down completely. Whether Trump would follow through on his appeal for bipartisan harmony was far from clear. Trump’s past attempts at a unifying message have been undermined by his later rancorous tweets and divisive statements that angered Democrats and frequently annoyed lawmakers in his own Republican Party. The unity plea will first be put to the test in his drive for a compromise on protecting 1.8 million Dreamers - people brought illegally to the country as children - who face a March 5 deadline on whether they can begin to be deported. Republicans welcomed Trump’s immigration proposals, with U.S. Senator James Lankford of Oklahoma saying Trump tried to strike a middle ground. “My Democratic colleagues can say he didn’t move enough, but you can’t deny he moved a lot. There are people in his core base who think he has moved way too far.” But Senator Patrick Leahy, a Vermont Democrat and the longest-serving senator, said Trump’s words about unity, after a year of “divisive actions, petty insults and disgraceful race-baiting ... ring hollow.” Trump said he was “extending an open hand” for an immigration deal and that he would provide Dreamers a pathway to citizenship over 10 to 12 years in exchange for funding the border wall, which he promised during his campaign, and restrictions on legal immigration. He called his plan a “down-the-middle compromise,” but some Democrats hissed when he said he wanted to rein in “chain migration,” the ability of legal immigrants to bring a wide-ranging number of family members into the country. “Let’s come together, set politics aside and finally get the job done,” Trump said. INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN Trump took credit for U.S. economic gains including a soaring stock market and a low jobless rate. He boasted about the economic growth he believes will result from tax cuts Republicans pushed through Congress late last year. “This is our new American moment. There has never been a better time to start living the American Dream,” he said. Trump said he would like a compromise over a plan to rebuild aging roads, bridges and other infrastructure. He said he wanted legislation to generate at least $1.5 trillion through a combination of federal, state and local spending as well as private-sector contributions. Market reaction was muted, with S&P 500 futures drifting higher, but investors saying there was little new for Wall Street in the speech. “Futures lifted a bit because it was not a negative speech. He was calm. He celebrated America. He avoided his own failures,” said Tim Ghriskey, chief investment officer at Cresset Wealth Advisors in Chicago. While Trump spoke of compromise, his speech provided some reminders of partisan battles over the past year. He singled out a speech guest, 12-year-old Preston Sharp, for leading an effort to put American flags on the graves of 40,000 veterans, saying the initiative was “why we proudly stand for the national anthem.” His criticism of National Football League players who refused to stand for the anthem in protest against police shootings of minorities and racial disparities in the justice system, dominated headlines last autumn.

IDF Spokesman warns Lebanon of war with Israel if Iranian presence grows

Lebanese president vows to resist Israel by 'all available means'

Lebanon army chief asks troops for readiness at Israel border

By Anna Ahronheim January 28, 2018 11:40

“The future of Lebanese citizens is in the hands of a dictator who sits in Tehran,” said Manelis. IDF Spokesman Brig.-Gen. Ronen Manelis warned in a rare op-ed on a Lebanese opposition website that a war with Israel could break out if Iran develops precision missiles in the country. “Lebanon has become - both by its own actions and omissions and by a blind eye from many members of the international community - one large missile factory,” Manelis wrote on the Ahewar website. "It's no longer a transfer of arms, funds or consultation. Iran has de-facto opened a new branch, the 'Lebanon branch.' Iran is here," he said. “In Lebanon, Hezbollah does not conceal its attempt to take control of the state,” he continued, adding that “in the shadow of Nasrallah’s bullying behavior” the terror group has built “terror infrastructure and factories to manufacture weapons under the nose of the Lebanese government.Israel and Hezbollah fought a deadly 33-day war in 2006, which came to an end under UN Security Council Resolution 1701 which called for disarmament of Hezbollah, for withdrawal of the Israeli army from Lebanon, for the deployment of the Lebanese army and an enlarged UN force in the south. “This past year (2017), like the 11 years that preceded it since the end of the Second Lebanon War, was characterized by relative stability on the Lebanese front. This quiet is for the benefit of residents on both sides,” Manelis wrote. “The fact that northern Israel and southern Lebanon have children who have not heard an alarm in their lives is a significant achievement of the Second Lebanon War, and the best proof of the stability of Israeli deterrence and the burning memory among the Lebanese about the magnitude of Nasrallah's previous mistake.” Nevertheless according to IDF assessments, Hezbollah has since rebuilt its arsenal with at least 100,000 short-range rockets and several thousand more missiles that can reach central Israel. In addition to a massive arsenal of rockets and missiles, Hezbollah is able to mobilize close to 30,000 fighters and has flouted its tunnel system, complete with ventilation, electricity, and rocket launchers. Hezbollah has also increased its military capabilities due to its fighting in Syria on the side of President Bashar Assad, and has spread its troops across the entire Middle East. “The past year has been further proof that Hezbollah serves as an operational arm of Iran. In every place where there was instability, we discovered the fingerprint of Iran and everywhere we discovered Hezbollah's involvement,” Manelis wrote. Some 200 villages in south Lebanon have also been turned into “military strongholds” from which Hezbollah militants are able to watch Israeli soldiers at any moment.The ordinary citizen will be mistaken to think that this process turns Lebanon into a fortress, it is nothing more than a barrel of gunpowder on which he, his family and his property are sitting,” Manelis said in his op-ed on Sunday. “One in every three or four houses in southern Lebanon is a headquarters, a post, a weapons depot or a Hezbollah hideout. We know these assets and know how to attack them accurately if required.” Israeli officials have repeatedly voiced concerns over the smuggling of sophisticated weaponry to Hezbollah and the growing Iranian presence on its borders, stressing that both are red-lines for the Jewish State. Senior officials from Israel’s defense establishment have repeatedly stated that while the chance of escalation on the border is low, the smallest incident or a miscalculation by either side has the possibility to lead to conflict. “The future of Lebanese citizens is in the hands of a dictator who sits in Tehran,” Manelis wrote, adding that “I think it is right to warn the residents of Lebanon of the Iranian game in their security and in their future.” In September, Israel carried out its largest military exercise on the northern border in 20 years with tens of thousands of soldiers from all branches of the army simulating a war with Hezbollah. “The past year has been used by the IDF to significantly improve preparations for war on the northern front,” Manelis wrote. “If our enemies understood how much we knew about them, they would be deterred from entering into another conflict for many more years to come.”

Israel, Lebanon Argue Over Offshore Energy Reserves, Beirut Slams 'Threat'

Lieberman urges int'l firms not to bid on 'very provocative' Lebanese offshore oil and gas exploration in disputed territory on the countries’ maritime border

Reuters Jan 31, 2018 6:45 PM

Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman described as “very provocative” on Wednesday a Lebanese offshore oil and gas exploration tender in disputed territory on the countries’ maritime border, and urged international firms not to bid. Lebanese President Michel Aoun, whose country considers Israel an enemy state, described the comments as “a threat" to Lebanon. “When they issue a tender on a gas field, including Block 9, which by any standard is ours ... this is very, very challenging and provocative conduct here,” Lieberman said. “Respectable firms” bidding on the tender “are, to my mind, making a grave error - because this is contrary to all of the rules and all protocol in cases like this,” he told an international security conference hosted by Tel Aviv University’s Institute for National Security Studies, a think-tank. His remarks come after Lebanon in December approved a bid by a consortium of France’s Total, Italy’s Eni and Russia’s Novatek for two of the five blocks put up for tender in the country’s much-delayed first oil and gas offshore licensing round. One of the awarded blocks, Block 9, borders Israeli waters. Lebanon has an unresolved maritime border dispute with Israel over a triangular area of sea of around 860 square kilometers that extends along the edge of three of the blocks. “Lieberman’s words about Block 9 are a threat to Lebanon and its right to sovereignty over its territorial waters,” Aoun said on his official Twitter account. Lebanese Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri said the country would take up the comments with the “relevant international bodies to affirm its right to act in its territorial waters." “For the past few days Israeli officials have been deliberately sending threatening messages to Lebanon,” Hariri said in a statement from his press office. Hariri said Lieberman’s words were “blatant provocation." The contracts are expected to be officially signed on February 9, the Lebanese Petroleum Administration said, allowing exploration to begin. The licensing round was relaunched in January 2016 after a three-year delay caused by political paralysis. Lebanon is on the Levant Basin in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, where a number of big sub-sea gas fields have been discovered since 2009, including the Leviathan and Tamar fields located in Israeli waters near the disputed marine border with Lebanon. Israel last went to war in Lebanon in 2006, against the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia. With tensions rising anew, Lieberman said Lebanon would “pay in full” for any new Hezbollah attacks on Israel. But he said Israel sought no war, adding: “We try to conduct ourselves determinedly and responsibly.”

Hamas founder dies after 'accidentally' shooting himself

Hamas 'founding father' responsible for alliance with Iran dies weeks after 'accidental' self-inflicted gunshot wound.

David Rosenberg, 30/01/18 09:35

A senior member of the Hamas terrorist organization has died, a Hamas spokesman said Tuesday, three weeks after he suffered what the terror organization claimed was an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound in the head. On January 9th, Fawzy Barhoum, spokesman for the Gaza-based Islamist terror group, said that Imad al-Alami, one of the movement’s most senior officials, was critically wounded when his personal firearm accidentally discharged. Al-Alami, 61, was "inspecting his personal weapon in his home and is in critical condition,” Barhoum said at the time. The Hamas leader was rushed to a Gaza City hospital. On Tuesday, Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem reported that Al-Alami had succumbed to his wounds, dying in Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital. Outlawed by the US in 2003 for his position in Hamas, al-Alami was considered one of the Gaza terror group’s most important assets, due to his extensive ties with the Iranian governmenta major sponsor of Hamas – and his personal relationship with Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah, himself a client of the Tehran regime. In recent years, al-Alami operated out of Turkey, where he received medical treatment. A founding father of the Hamas terror group, al-Alami returned to the Gaza Strip in 2012, where he previously served as deputy chief of Hamas’ Political Bureau, and once chaired its “Intifada Committee”. In November, 2016, al-Alami was reportedly selected as Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh’s designated successor. The shooting incident fueled a variety of conspiracy theories within the Palestinian Authority, ranging from claims al-Alami was assassinated, to suggestions he may have committed suicide following years of serious health problems. In 2014, al-Alami’s residence was hit during the conflict between Hamas and Israel, leading to the amputation of one of his legs. He has received numerous treatments in Turkey for injuries resulting from the bombing.

The Flu Is FAR WORSE Than We’re Being Told: Tens of Thousands of Americans Are DYING

by Cat Ellis

We all know that this year’s flu season is bad. I have been pouring over numbers and reports over the past few days, and it’s actually even worse than we’re hearing about. Tens of thousands of Americans are dying. It’s now worse than the 2009 swine flu outbreak and is on track with the 2014-15 strain. And it’s not showing any signs of slowing down. Despite this, the media is downplaying the severity of the flu and the government makes the statistics pretty difficult to find. Are they trying to avoid a panic? Do they know something we don’t? Here’s what you need to know about why this year’s flu is so dangerous. This Year’s Flu Strain Is More Deadly The dominant Influenza strain this year is H3N2. This particular strain has a history of causing more hospitalizations and more deaths. According to the CDC: In the past, H3N2-predominant seasons have been associated with more severe illness and higher mortality, especially in older people and young children, relative to H1N1- or B-predominant seasons. Between 1976 and 2007, for example, CDC estimates that an average of 28,909 people died from flu during H3N2 seasons, compared to 10,648 people during non-H3N2 predominant years. That’s a difference of 18,261 adults each year. And that’s in a good year. In addition to H3N2 producing a more serious infection in general, this year’s particular H3N2 influenza virus is particularly virulent. The number of deaths due to influenza or complications to the flu, such as pneumonia (a secondary bacterial infection following influenza), varies from year to year. An August 27, 2010 MMWR report entitled “Thompson MG et al. Updated Estimates of Mortality Associated with Seasonal Influenza through the 2006-2007 Influenza Season. MMWR 2010; 59(33): 1057-1062.,” provided estimates of the range of flu-associated deaths that occurred in the United States during the three decades prior to 2007. CDC estimated that from the 1976-1977 season to the 2006-2007 flu season, flu-associated deaths ranged from a low of about 3,000 to a high of about 49,000 people. The Current Flu Has Already Killed 44,116 People In comparison, the current flu has already resulted in 44,116 deaths this flu season. To give that number some meaning, this year’s flu has already led to more deaths than the average for H3N2 years. Furthermore, we aren’t even in the middle of cold and flu season yet. At 44,116 deaths and counting, we are already nearly to the high end (49,000 people) of the normal flu-associated deaths range. Fun With Numbers You would think the CDC would publish an easy-to-find running tally of influenza mortality. They don’t. They only post that information for pediatric mortality. Currently, that number stands at 37. A total of 37 influenza-associated pediatric deaths have been reported for the 2017-2018 season. They do, however, provide the information for you to do the math for yourself. On the same page as the above graphic, the CDC provides a chart with the mortality rate presented as a percentage. Here’s that chart. Below that chart is the option to open up the chart data. This opens an Excel file with the number of people who died from both influenza and pneumonia by week dating back to 2015. I added up the total deaths for the flu and for pneumonia starting in Week 40 (October 2, 2017) and ending in Week 1 (January January 7, 2018). This is what those figures came to: If you add those two totals together, you reach a total of 44,146 people dead. To make matters even more confusing, the CDC does report lab-confirmed cases of influenza at the top of the same web page. This is the chart. This chart is somewhat misleading, as it does not compare apples to apples. It presents only cases of lab-confirmed influenza, but not Influenza-Like Illnesses (ILI). ILI cases are just labeled “Elevated”. Thanks, but I could tell that already by just reading my Facebook news feed. The chart also does not include pneumonia cases. This leaves thousands of cases off the chart. To add yet another twist, the pediatric mortality total is posted on this same chart. This compares apples to oranges and gives the impression that there are much fewer people sick and dying than there actually are. Numbers don’t lie. But, they can mislead. If you do add the lab-confirmed cases of influenza together, you get 19,869 cases. That’s a far cry from the 44,146 deaths recorded so far. The Flu Vaccine Is Historically Less Effective on H3N2 Not only does this influenza strain produce a more intense and deadly flu, the flu vaccine is less effective against it. This Centers for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) article discusses a study published in The Lancet spanning 11 years that demonstrates H3N2 is more resistant to the flu vaccine. The study, in The Lancet Infectious Diseases, covered more than 11 flu seasons, from Jan 1, 2004, to Mar 31, 2015. The H3N2 strain has been associated with more severe influenza seasons independent of vaccine effect, according to senior author Edward Belongia, MD, of the Marshfield Clinic Research Foundation (MCRF) in Wisconsin. Among the explanations he and his coauthors offered for the lower strain-specific protection were manufacturing-related factors. Also from the above CIDRAP article, the flu vaccine demonstrates only a 33% vaccine effective (VE) rate with the average H3N2 strain. This is down significantly from the VE rates against other strains. The research team determined that pooled VE for the 56 studies was 33% (95% confidence interval [CI], 26%-39%) for H3N2, 54% (95% CI, 46%-61%) for type B, 61% (95% CI, 57%-65%) for 2009 H1N1, and 67% (29%-85%) for prepandemic H1N1. This Year’s Vaccine Is Even Less Effective than Prior Years To make matters worse, this year’s flu vaccine isn’t even close to the average 33% VE rate of prior years. This year’s vaccine is performing at approximately a 10% VE rate. This report from CBS News explains how we know this. What’s more, this year’s flu shot may not be up to the task. It is the same formulation that was used during Australia’s most recent flu season — which typically sets a pattern for what the U.S. will face — and it was only 10 percent effective there. Nonetheless, the medical community and media are still pushing the ineffective flu vax with all their might. Resources and Services Are At Risk The other day, I did an informal “Flu Check-In” through my social media accounts. It was a great way to touch base with hundreds of people around the country. There were loads of reports of hospitals reaching surge capacity, school closings due to high numbers of influenza cases, and people being told by their employers to stay home and telecommute if possible. Hospitals are at capacity. Hospitals and medical facilities are usually extra busy during flu season. However, this year, many hospitals are reaching what is called “surge capacity”. Surge capacity is the ability to handle a sudden and dramatic increase in the number of patients needing immediate care. This is happening because there are more patients seeking out emergency care, and they are staying in the hospital longer. This is leading to a scarcity of hospital beds and available staff. There seems to be quite a few hospitals at capacity. This is just a tiny sample of hospitals that are either full or almost full. Oklahoma City has several hospitals which are full. New Jersey hospitals are seeing “patients in the ICU for days and days with influenza”. A hospital in Syracuse had to turn people away from the emergency room. This Florida hospital had to set up beds in conference rooms. All of Augusta, GA hospitals are full with flu patients. The LA Times calls the situation local hospitals are facing a “war zone” as they put up tents for the surge of flu patients. Whether or not you have the flu, hospitals reaching capacity is a risk to everyone. I wrote about this at length in my book Prepping for a Pandemic. When an epidemic or pandemic disease has led to hospitals turning away patients, it doesn’t matter if you get the disease itself. You could have a heart attack, need an emergency c-section, or need have a burst appendix removed. No beds means no beds. At best, you might be directed to go to another hospital. At worst, they may not have any beds either and send you to another facility at capacity. School Closings There are plenty of school closings as well. This is an important step in saving lives, as the H3N2 strain of influenza hits both the elderly and children harder than adults. This can, however, make it tough on parents that cannot get time off of work. Here are just a few places with schools closing. They span all across the country. Mai Oklahoma Texas Idaho New Mexico Kansas Michigan Alabama Here’s What to Do Right Now Peak flu season is still to come. Flu season typically begins in October and can run as late as the following May. February is peak flu season. This month historically sees the most cases of flu or influenza-like illnesses. Stay away from enclosed populations with influenza if possible. These can include hospitals, nursing homes, schools, shopping centers, college dormitories, gyms, locker rooms, and anywhere else large numbers of people gather where the air is recirculated. If you are visiting someone who is in a care facility, do not bring young children or aging parents. They are more at risk than the rest of the population. Wash your hands frequently with soap. Soap provides friction which helps to remove pathogens from your hands. Stop touching your face. I know this one is hard, but we don’t need to give the flu any help infecting us. Take extra good care of your immune system. You will need to fight the flu! Get plenty of rest. Avoid unhealthy foods. Stay hydrated. Avoid smoking. Here is a great article from Harvard with ideas to support healthy immune function and one from this website about reducing your risk of catching the flu. Telecommute to work if possible. Disinfect things like doorknobs, handles, phones, and anything that multiple people touch throughout the day. The flu has an incubation period of 1-4 days before symptoms show, and is contagious a day before symptoms are obvious. Tidiness, clean linens, and fresh air help prevent the spread of germs before symptoms appear. If someone at home gets the flu, have them sleep separately, in a room by themselves. Keep your towels separate and your toothbrushes away from the sick person’s items. This one is deadly. This virus has the potential to be the worst we’ve seen in a century. You need to take every precaution to keep your family healthy and if someone does get sick, don’t take any risks. Seek medical attention. How bad is the flu in your area?

New school closings, deaths reported as flu epidemic intensifies

By Katie Kindelan Jan 26, 2018, 2:05 PM ET

School closings in Florida and Oklahoma and the deaths of a 12-year-old Florida boy and 37-year-old Indiana woman, both reportedly from influenza, are the latest signs of a growing epidemic across the United States, experts say. Karlie Illg Slaven, a mother of two, died Jan. 22, three days after being diagnosed with the flu, her father told ABC Cincinnati affiliate WCPO-TV. How to clean your house to help keep your family safe from the flu 7 things pediatricians want parents to know about the flu epidemic Slaven started feeling ill after her children and husband recovered from the flu, Karl Illg told WCPO.  Slaven, who according to her dad did not get a flu shot, went to the doctor twice before being admitted to the hospital’s intensive care unit, where she died. “Eventually, there was nothing else that could be done,” Illg said. “And we all were there, standing around her, and she left about 6:30 in the morning.” Dylan Winnik, a middle school student in Palm Beach County, Florida, died Jan. 23 because of what family members say was the flu. Palm Beach County health officials have not confirmed the cause of death, however, according to ABC Palm Beach affiliate WPBF-TV. “We lost a wonderful 12-year-old boy,” Mike Medwin, the boyfriend of Dylan’s mother, told the station. “[It’s] shocking. You get a call that he’s passed. How the hell does that happen?” The Florida Department of Health is reporting "above peak activity" this year compared to previous flu seasons. The panhandle region of North Florida is experiencing the largest increases in flu activity, the agency reported. One school district in Florida's panhandle, Gulf District Schools, closed all its schools today because of the "significant impact from influenza-like cases in our school system." So far 37 flu-related deaths in children have been confirmed across the U.S. since Oct. 1, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). New York, Puerto Rico and 39 other states are experiencing high activity of influenza-like illness, according to the CDC's most recent activity report. Nearly 10 school districts in Oklahoma have canceled classes for one to two days because of the large number of flu-related student absences, ABC Oklahoma City affiliate KOCO-TV reported. Meanwhile, as schools and families struggle to fight the flu, the most well-known antiviral treatment -- Tamiflu -- is in short supply. "We're told that it was on back order," Marissa Sgambati, a Florida woman in search of Tamiflu for her daughter, told ABC Orlando affiliate WFTV-TV. "It was just very challenging." Walgreens, the national drugstore chain, told ABC News the sudden surge in demand for Tamiflu means some versions of the medication, or some dosages, may be unavailable. The company also said it expects more inventory to arrive in the coming days. Tamiflu, and its generic version, oseltamivir, are "modestly effective" at treating the flu but more effective when used to help prevent the flu, according to ABC News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jennifer Ashton. Ashton said it is simply "not feasible" to expect everyone to take Tamiflu for the entire flu season, which runs from October to around May. People at higher risk for complications from influenza – such as those younger than 5 (especially younger than 2) or older than 65, pregnant woman and people with pre-existing conditions – are recommended for an antiviral treatment for prevention of flu, according to the CDC.

Coming Soon: The National Guard Homeland Response Force (HRF) for FEMA Region 7

On January 25, 2018 By apocalypsenewswatchIn Uncategorized

Last October I was talking to an acquaintance of mine who is a high ranking Missouri National Guard soldier. As we talked over coffee he starts to talk about how he wouldn’t trust anything electronic right now. What do you mean? I asked him. CB He proceeded to talk about a meeting he was called into over the weekend with the Missouri Adjutant General, one that involved all the Missouri National Guard commands in the state. He said they were worried about North Korean EMP weapons. I got the impression the meeting may have been prompted from higher up but he didn’t specify. He then warned, I better have some food stored and a way to cook it, said he personally went out and bought 6 months worth supplies for him and his household. As he talked, told me to remember the term of ‘Focus Units’ I think he said “line” focus units, units that can be ready at a moment’s notice and that’s what they are calling them at this time, at least for the National Guard. You should understand it is very unusual to have National Guard units to be prepared in advance. Usually when units are called up we go through several months of training and get issued new equipment at that time if it’s needed. It reminded me of another National Guard soldier I know. He had been telling me about all the new equipment they were getting in the Guard. Units in the Mo Guard are being issued brand new M-4 rifles along with brand new Aimpoint red dot scopes. They are also receiving several brand new M-2 .50 cal machine guns, M-240B 7.62mm NATO light machine guns, and M-249 SAW 5.56 NATO light machine guns. Brand new M-320 grenade launchers (pictured above mounted on an M4 rifle) as well. In addition to the new weapons they are receiving New NVG’s and M-4 mountable thermal scopes. I filed it all in the back in my memory bank as a little odd. It’s not too unusual for the National Guard to be prepared, but it is somewhat unusual for so much money to be spent on National Guard units. Generally the new equipment goes to active duty units, and the National Guard gets the active duty leftovers. This week I noticed something unusual on the Missouri National Guard’s website. In the job listings are several listings for volunteers to serve for 5 to 7 months on something called the Missouri National Guard Homeland Response Force (HRF). The ‘in country’ deployment dates are 01Feb-30Apr 2018 with tour ending 30SEP 2018. Here is a link to one of the job listings but it closes in late Jan and will probably be taken down then. The various jobs were open only to National Guard members, all MOS’s (military jobs) ranks E4 up to O3 (enlisted and officers). Do these jobs have anything to do with the “Focus Units”? I asked around and nobody seemed to know. I also asked around as to what exactly is the “Homeland Response Force” Again nobody seemed to know. So I did some digging and found a document from the Rand Corp. written in 2010. National Guard document on the same. “SecDef has approved the implementation of a plan to restructure the CCMRFs which includes an integrated state response capability based on the CSTs, CERFPs and the standup of 10 NG Regional Homeland Response Forces (HRFs) ‐ one per FEMA regional. These geographically distributed HRFs will improve the ability of DoD to quickly respond in case of a major or catastrophic CBRNE CM event by providing the necessary life saving capabilities to the incident area within hours vice days. The NG is committed to providing this capability to the DoD, the Governors of the 54 states and territories and the American people.” Yes it states 54 states. Here are the Acronym translations from FEMA: CCMRF- Consequence Management Response Force CST- Civil Support Team (National Guard–for WMD) CERFP- Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and High Yield Explosive (CBRNE) Enhanced Response Force Package (CERFP) NG- National Guard FEMA- Federal Emergency Management Agency DoD- Department of Defense CBRNE-CM- Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, or High-Yield Explosive – Consequence Management According to the Rand Doc, a Homeland Response Force: “When directed the NG Homeland Response Force (HRF) alerts, assembles and deploys to save lives and mitigate human suffering and prepares for follow-on forces.” “The HRFs mission is simple – conduct operations to save lives and to reduce human suffering in the event of a CBRNE incident” It goes on to describe a 48 hour response to any emergency including Nuclear, biological, chemical and/or explosive events. There are 10 HRF’s each responsible for their respective FEMA region. Even though I was unable to find anyone within the Mo Guard who knew what this unit was all about, a simple Google search showed me they are nothing new. In 2010 Congressman Ike Skelton (retired) announced them to the state, and they have had several training exercises. Here is a Department of Defense announcement about them as well. But why now? Is this anything unusual, or is it just training as usual. This time the Homeland Response Force will be on a 6 month deployment inside Missouri, I wonder if they will be activated for the other FEMA regions as well. In Matthew 24 Jesus told us: “And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” This could be nothing more than a rumor. This could be nothing more than just good old fashioned preparedness. I didn’t need my friend to tell me to store extra food, as this is something I have told people for years. It’s good to be reminded of it though. I did feel somewhat vindicated because several years ago whenever I brought the subject up people treated me like a “doomsday prepper”. It never hurts to be prepared, a lesson I learned in a particularly bad ice storm we had several years back. I had not stored extra food before that, but have ever since. Do yourself a favor, store some extra food and water for you and your family. It may be up to 48 hours or more for the National Guard to save you.

A mag 6.2 - Russia rocks the Pacific ring again! It's now 6 major quakes and 6 extremely active volcanoes in the last 7 days: Disaster imminent? Earthwindmap Click on image to enlarge 6 major quakes in 7 days circling the entire Pacific ring. 6 extremely active volcanoes with at least 2 claiming massive eruption imminent. California gets lucky again The mag 6.2 - 38km NE of Nikol'skoye, Russia this morning is yet another major quake on the Pacific rim, the 6th in the last 8 days, see above, add to it the 6 most active volcanoes and it's easy to see the Pacific ring of fire is bursting at the moment. With the Mayon volcano in Indonesia and the Kadova Island volcano Papua New Guinea expecting imminent explosions and three major quakes in 24 hours including the powerful Alaskan quake something big could be in the offing. The whole Pacific Ring is rumbling, from Alaska to Papua New Guinea and Chile to Russia and Philippines to Mexico with one exception, once again the US West coast has come away unscathed but for how long? With nearly 200,000 people evacuated or affected by Pacific Ring volcano activity and the fact that millions got lucky along US and Canada coast once again yesterday when a massive 7.9 quake rocked Alaska, we must surely be asking ourselves when not if will the big one strike!. Today's major quake is the 9th major quake to strike our planet this month and of course 2018. And with the Earth still exiting a stream of fast-moving solar wind from the recent Coronal hole, today's and yesterdays quake has recorded an impressive 9 from 9 major earthquakes this year to have occurred during solar wind and or a coronal hole influencing the Earth's magnetosphere. It is a Big Wobble project this year to document just how many major quakes occur during a coronal hole facing Earth, so far so good, it's 9 from 9, 100 %. Home Gary Walton at 5:05 pm

The Really Big One: The next rupture of the Cascadia subduction zone will spell the worst natural disaster in the history of the continent

By Strange Sounds - Jul 24, 2016

An earthquake will destroy a sizable portion of the coastal Northwest. The question is when. And keep in mind: The next full-margin rupture of the Cascadia subduction zone will spell the worst natural disaster in the history of the continent. When the 2011 earthquake and tsunami struck Tohoku, Japan, Chris Goldfinger was two hundred miles away, in the city of Kashiwa, at an international meeting on seismology. As the shaking started, everyone in the room began to laugh. Earthquakes are common in Japan—that one was the third of the week—and the participants were, after all, at a seismology conference. Then everyone in the room checked the time. Seismologists know that how long an earthquake lasts is a decent proxy for its magnitude. The 1989 earthquake in Loma Prieta, California, which killed sixty-three people and caused six billion dollars’ worth of damage, lasted about fifteen seconds and had a magnitude of 6.9. A thirty-second earthquake generally has a magnitude in the mid-sevens. A minute-long quake is in the high sevens, a two-minute quake has entered the eights, and a three-minute quake is in the high eights. By four minutes, an earthquake has hit magnitude 9.0. When Goldfinger looked at his watch, it was quarter to three. The conference was wrapping up for the day. He was thinking about sushi. The speaker at the lectern was wondering if he should carry on with his talk. The earthquake was not particularly strong. Then it ticked past the sixty-second mark, making it longer than the others that week. The shaking intensified. The seats in the conference room were small plastic desks with wheels. Goldfinger, who is tall and solidly built, thought, No way am I crouching under one of those for cover. At a minute and a half, everyone in the room got up and went outside. It was March. There was a chill in the air, and snow flurries, but no snow on the ground. Nor, from the feel of it, was there ground on the ground. The earth snapped and popped and rippled. It was, Goldfinger thought, like driving through rocky terrain in a vehicle with no shocks, if both the vehicle and the terrain were also on a raft in high seas. The quake passed the two-minute mark. The trees, still hung with the previous autumn’s dead leaves, were making a strange rattling sound. The flagpole atop the building he and his colleagues had just vacated was whipping through an arc of forty degrees. The building itself was base-isolated, a seismic-safety technology in which the body of a structure rests on movable bearings rather than directly on its foundation. Goldfinger lurched over to take a look. The base was lurching, too, back and forth a foot at a time, digging a trench in the yard. He thought better of it, and lurched away. His watch swept past the three-minute mark and kept going. Oh, shit, Goldfinger thought, although not in dread, at first: in amazement. For decades, seismologists had believed that Japan could not experience an earthquake stronger than magnitude 8.4. In 2005, however, at a conference in Hokudan, a Japanese geologist named Yasutaka Ikeda had argued that the nation should expect a magnitude 9.0 in the near future—with catastrophic consequences, because Japan’s famous earthquake-and-tsunami preparedness, including the height of its sea walls, was based on incorrect science. The presentation was met with polite applause and thereafter largely ignored. Now, Goldfinger realized as the shaking hit the four-minute mark, the planet was proving the Japanese Cassandra right. For a moment, that was pretty cool: a real-time revolution in earthquake science. Almost immediately, though, it became extremely uncool, because Goldfinger and every other seismologist standing outside in Kashiwa knew what was coming. One of them pulled out a cell phone and started streaming videos from the Japanese broadcasting station NHK, shot by helicopters that had flown out to sea soon after the shaking started. Thirty minutes after Goldfinger first stepped outside, he watched the tsunami roll in, in real time, on a two-inch screen. In the end, the magnitude-9.0 Tohoku earthquake and subsequent tsunami killed more than eighteen thousand people, devastated northeast Japan, triggered the meltdown at the Fukushima power plant, and cost an estimated two hundred and twenty billion dollars. The shaking earlier in the week turned out to be the foreshocks of the largest earthquake in the nation’s recorded history. But for Chris Goldfinger, a paleoseismologist at Oregon State University and one of the world’s leading experts on a little-known fault line, the main quake was itself a kind of foreshock: a preview of another earthquake still to come. Most people in the United States know just one fault line by name: the San Andreas, which runs nearly the length of California and is perpetually rumored to be on the verge of unleashing “the big one.” That rumor is misleading, no matter what the San Andreas ever does. Every fault line has an upper limit to its potency, determined by its length and width, and by how far it can slip. For the San Andreas, one of the most extensively studied and best understood fault lines in the world, that upper limit is roughly an 8.2—a powerful earthquake, but, because the Richter scale is logarithmic, only six per cent as strong as the 2011 event in Japan. Just north of the San Andreas, however, lies another fault line. Known as the Cascadia subduction zone, it runs for seven hundred miles off the coast of the Pacific Northwest, beginning near Cape Mendocino, California, continuing along Oregon and Washington, and terminating around Vancouver Island, Canada. The “Cascadia” part of its name comes from the Cascade Range, a chain of volcanic mountains that follow the same course a hundred or so miles inland. The “subduction zone” part refers to a region of the planet where one tectonic plate is sliding underneath (subducting) another. Tectonic plates are those slabs of mantle and crust that, in their epochs-long drift, rearrange the earth’s continents and oceans. Most of the time, their movement is slow, harmless, and all but undetectable. Occasionally, at the borders where they meet, it is not. Take your hands and hold them palms down, middle fingertips touching. Your right hand represents the North American tectonic plate, which bears on its back, among other things, our entire continent, from One World Trade Center to the Space Needle, in Seattle. Your left hand represents an oceanic plate called Juan de Fuca, ninety thousand square miles in size. The place where they meet is the Cascadia subduction zone. Now slide your left hand under your right one. That is what the Juan de Fuca plate is doing: slipping steadily beneath North America. When you try it, your right hand will slide up your left arm, as if you were pushing up your sleeve. That is what North America is not doing. It is stuck, wedged tight against the surface of the other plate. Without moving your hands, curl your right knuckles up, so that they point toward the ceiling. Under pressure from Juan de Fuca, the stuck edge of North America is bulging upward and compressing eastward, at the rate of, respectively, three to four millimetres and thirty to forty millimetres a year. It can do so for quite some time, because, as continent stuff goes, it is young, made of rock that is still relatively elastic. (Rocks, like us, get stiffer as they age.) But it cannot do so indefinitely. There is a backstop—the craton, that ancient unbudgeable mass at the center of the continent—and, sooner or later, North America will rebound like a spring. If, on that occasion, only the southern part of the Cascadia subduction zone gives way—your first two fingers, say—the magnitude of the resulting quake will be somewhere between 8.0 and 8.6. That’s the big one. If the entire zone gives way at once, an event that seismologists call a full-margin rupture, the magnitude will be somewhere between 8.7 and 9.2. That’s the very big one. Flick your right fingers outward, forcefully, so that your hand flattens back down again. When the next very big earthquake hits, the northwest edge of the continent, from California to Canada and the continental shelf to the Cascades, will drop by as much as six feet and rebound thirty to a hundred feet to the west—losing, within minutes, all the elevation and compression it has gained over centuries. Some of that shift will take place beneath the ocean, displacing a colossal quantity of seawater. (Watch what your fingertips do when you flatten your hand.) The water will surge upward into a huge hill, then promptly collapse. One side will rush west, toward Japan. The other side will rush east, in a seven-hundred-mile liquid wall that will reach the Northwest coast, on average, fifteen minutes after the earthquake begins. By the time the shaking has ceased and the tsunami has receded, the region will be unrecognizable. Kenneth Murphy, who directs FEMA’s Region X, the division responsible for Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Alaska, says, “Our operating assumption is that everything west of Interstate 5 will be toast.” In the Pacific Northwest, the area of impact will cover* some hundred and forty thousand square miles, including Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, Eugene, Salem (the capital city of Oregon), Olympia (the capital of Washington), and some seven million people. When the next full-margin rupture happens, that region will suffer the worst natural disaster in the history of North America. Roughly three thousand people died in San Francisco’s 1906 earthquake. Almost two thousand died in Hurricane Katrina. Almost three hundred died in Hurricane Sandy. FEMA projects that nearly thirteen thousand people will die in the Cascadia earthquake and tsunami. Another twenty-seven thousand will be injured, and the agency expects that it will need to provide shelter for a million displaced people, and food and water for another two and a half million. “This is one time that I’m hoping all the science is wrong, and it won’t happen for another thousand years,” Murphy says. In fact, the science is robust, and one of the chief scientists behind it is Chris Goldfinger. Thanks to work done by him and his colleagues, we now know that the odds of the big Cascadia earthquake happening in the next fifty years are roughly one in three. The odds of the very big one are roughly one in ten. Even those numbers do not fully reflect the danger—or, more to the point, how unprepared the Pacific Northwest is to face it. The truly worrisome figures in this story are these: Thirty years ago, no one knew that the Cascadia subduction zone had ever produced a major earthquake. Forty-five years ago, no one even knew it existed. In May of 1804, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, together with their Corps of Discovery, set off from St. Louis on America’s first official cross-country expedition. Eighteen months later, they reached the Pacific Ocean and made camp near the present-day town of Astoria, Oregon. The United States was, at the time, twenty-nine years old. Canada was not yet a country. The continent’s far expanses were so unknown to its white explorers that Thomas Jefferson, who commissioned the journey, thought that the men would come across woolly mammoths. Native Americans had lived in the Northwest for millennia, but they had no written language, and the many things to which the arriving Europeans subjected them did not include seismological inquiries. The newcomers took the land they encountered at face value, and at face value it was a find: vast, cheap, temperate, fertile, and, to all appearances, remarkably benign. A century and a half elapsed before anyone had any inkling that the Pacific Northwest was not a quiet place but a place in a long period of quiet. It took another fifty years to uncover and interpret the region’s seismic history. Geology, as even geologists will tell you, is not normally the sexiest of disciplines; it hunkers down with earthly stuff while the glory accrues to the human and the cosmic—to genetics, neuroscience, physics. But, sooner or later, every field has its field day, and the discovery of the Cascadia subduction zone stands as one of the greatest scientific detective stories of our time. The first clue came from geography. Almost all of the world’s most powerful earthquakes occur in the Ring of Fire, the volcanically and seismically volatile swath of the Pacific that runs from New Zealand up through Indonesia and Japan, across the ocean to Alaska, and down the west coast of the Americas to Chile. Japan, 2011, magnitude 9.0; Indonesia, 2004, magnitude 9.1; Alaska, 1964, magnitude 9.2; Chile, 1960, magnitude 9.5—not until the late nineteen-sixties, with the rise of the theory of plate tectonics, could geologists explain this pattern. The Ring of Fire, it turns out, is really a ring of subduction zones. Nearly all the earthquakes in the region are caused by continental plates getting stuck on oceanic plates—as North America is stuck on Juan de Fuca—and then getting abruptly unstuck. And nearly all the volcanoes are caused by the oceanic plates sliding deep beneath the continental ones, eventually reaching temperatures and pressures so extreme that they melt the rock above them. The Pacific Northwest sits squarely within the Ring of Fire. Off its coast, an oceanic plate is slipping beneath a continental one. Inland, the Cascade volcanoes mark the line where, far below, the Juan de Fuca plate is heating up and melting everything above it. In other words, the Cascadia subduction zone has, as Goldfinger put it, “all the right anatomical parts.” Yet not once in recorded history has it caused a major earthquake—or, for that matter, any quake to speak of. By contrast, other subduction zones produce major earthquakes occasionally and minor ones all the time: magnitude 5.0, magnitude 4.0, magnitude why are the neighbors moving their sofa at midnight. You can scarcely spend a week in Japan without feeling this sort of earthquake. You can spend a lifetime in many parts of the Northwest—several, in fact, if you had them to spend—and not feel so much as a quiver. The question facing geologists in the nineteen-seventies was whether the Cascadia subduction zone had ever broken its eerie silence. In the late nineteen-eighties, Brian Atwater, a geologist with the United States Geological Survey, and a graduate student named David Yamaguchi found the answer, and another major clue in the Cascadia puzzle. Their discovery is best illustrated in a place called the ghost forest, a grove of western red cedars on the banks of the Copalis River, near the Washington coast. When I paddled out to it last summer, with Atwater and Yamaguchi, it was easy to see how it got its name. The cedars are spread out across a low salt marsh on a wide northern bend in the river, long dead but still standing. Leafless, branchless, barkless, they are reduced to their trunks and worn to a smooth silver-gray, as if they had always carried their own tombstones inside them. What killed the trees in the ghost forest was saltwater. It had long been assumed that they died slowly, as the sea level around them gradually rose and submerged their roots. But, by 1987, Atwater, who had found in soil layers evidence of sudden land subsidence along the Washington coast, suspected that that was backward—that the trees had died quickly when the ground beneath them plummeted. To find out, he teamed up with Yamaguchi, a specialist in dendrochronology, the study of growth-ring patterns in trees. Yamaguchi took samples of the cedars and found that they had died simultaneously: in tree after tree, the final rings dated to the summer of 1699. Since trees do not grow in the winter, he and Atwater concluded that sometime between August of 1699 and May of 1700 an earthquake had caused the land to drop and killed the cedars. That time frame predated by more than a hundred years the written history of the Pacific Northwest—and so, by rights, the detective story should have ended there. But it did not. If you travel five thousand miles due west from the ghost forest, you reach the northeast coast of Japan. As the events of 2011 made clear, that coast is vulnerable to tsunamis, and the Japanese have kept track of them since at least 599 A.D. In that fourteen-hundred-year history, one incident has long stood out for its strangeness. On the eighth day of the twelfth month of the twelfth year of the Genroku era, a six-hundred-mile-long wave struck the coast, levelling homes, breaching a castle moat, and causing an accident at sea. The Japanese understood that tsunamis were the result of earthquakes, yet no one felt the ground shake before the Genroku event. The wave had no discernible origin. When scientists began studying it, they called it an orphan tsunami. Finally, in a 1996 article in Nature, a seismologist named Kenji Satake and three colleagues, drawing on the work of Atwater and Yamaguchi, matched that orphan to its parent—and thereby filled in the blanks in the Cascadia story with uncanny specificity. At approximately nine o’ clock at night on January 26, 1700, a magnitude-9.0 earthquake struck the Pacific Northwest, causing sudden land subsidence, drowning coastal forests, and, out in the ocean, lifting up a wave half the length of a continent. It took roughly fifteen minutes for the Eastern half of that wave to strike the Northwest coast. It took ten hours for the other half to cross the ocean. It reached Japan on January 27, 1700: by the local calendar, the eighth day of the twelfth month of the twelfth year of Genroku. Once scientists had reconstructed the 1700 earthquake, certain previously overlooked accounts also came to seem like clues. In 1964, Chief Louis Nookmis, of the Huu-ay-aht First Nation, in British Columbia, told a story, passed down through seven generations, about the eradication of Vancouver Island’s Pachena Bay people. “I think it was at nighttime that the land shook,” Nookmis recalled. According to another tribal history, “They sank at once, were all drowned; not one survived.” A hundred years earlier, Billy Balch, a leader of the Makah tribe, recounted a similar story. Before his own time, he said, all the water had receded from Washington State’s Neah Bay, then suddenly poured back in, inundating the entire region. Those who survived later found canoes hanging from the trees. In a 2005 study, Ruth Ludwin, then a seismologist at the University of Washington, together with nine colleagues, collected and analyzed Native American reports of earthquakes and saltwater floods. Some of those reports contained enough information to estimate a date range for the events they described. On average, the midpoint of that range was 1701. It does not speak well of European-Americans that such stories counted as evidence for a proposition only after that proposition had been proved. Still, the reconstruction of the Cascadia earthquake of 1700 is one of those rare natural puzzles whose pieces fit together as tectonic plates do not: perfectly. It is wonderful science. It was wonderful for science. And it was terrible news for the millions of inhabitants of the Pacific Northwest. As Goldfinger put it, “In the late eighties and early nineties, the paradigm shifted to ‘uh-oh.’ ” Goldfinger told me this in his lab at Oregon State, a low prefab building that a passing English major might reasonably mistake for the maintenance department. Inside the lab is a walk-in freezer. Inside the freezer are floor-to-ceiling racks filled with cryptically labelled tubes, four inches in diameter and five feet long. Each tube contains a core sample of the seafloor. Each sample contains the history, written in seafloorese, of the past ten thousand years. During subduction-zone earthquakes, torrents of land rush off the continental slope, leaving a permanent deposit on the bottom of the ocean. By counting the number and the size of deposits in each sample, then comparing their extent and consistency along the length of the Cascadia subduction zone, Goldfinger and his colleagues were able to determine how much of the zone has ruptured, how often, and how drastically. Thanks to that work, we now know that the Pacific Northwest has experienced forty-one subduction-zone earthquakes in the past ten thousand years. If you divide ten thousand by forty-one, you get two hundred and forty-three, which is Cascadia’s recurrence interval: the average amount of time that elapses between earthquakes. That time span is dangerous both because it is too long—long enough for us to unwittingly build an entire civilization on top of our continent’s worst fault line—and because it is not long enough. Counting from the earthquake of 1700, we are now three hundred and fifteen years into a two-hundred-and-forty-three-year cycle. It is possible to quibble with that number. Recurrence intervals are averages, and averages are tricky: ten is the average of nine and eleven, but also of eighteen and two. It is not possible, however, to dispute the scale of the problem. The devastation in Japan in 2011 was the result of a discrepancy between what the best science predicted and what the region was prepared to withstand. The same will hold true in the Pacific Northwest—but here the discrepancy is enormous. “The science part is fun,” Goldfinger says. “And I love doing it. But the gap between what we know and what we should do about it is getting bigger and bigger, and the action really needs to turn to responding. Otherwise, we’re going to be hammered. I’ve been through one of these massive earthquakes in the most seismically prepared nation on earth. If that was Portland”—Goldfinger finished the sentence with a shake of his head before he finished it with words. “Let’s just say I would rather not be here.” The first sign that the Cascadia earthquake has begun will be a compressional wave, radiating outward from the fault line. Compressional waves are fast-moving, high-frequency waves, audible to dogs and certain other animals but experienced by humans only as a sudden jolt. They are not very harmful, but they are potentially very useful, since they travel fast enough to be detected by sensors thirty to ninety seconds ahead of other seismic waves. That is enough time for earthquake early-warning systems, such as those in use throughout Japan, to automatically perform a variety of lifesaving functions: shutting down railways and power plants, opening elevators and firehouse doors, alerting hospitals to halt surgeries, and triggering alarms so that the general public can take cover. The Pacific Northwest has no early-warning system. When the Cascadia earthquake begins, there will be, instead, a cacophony of barking dogs and a long, suspended, what-was-that moment before the surface waves arrive. Surface waves are slower, lower-frequency waves that move the ground both up and down and side to side: the shaking, starting in earnest. Soon after that shaking begins, the electrical grid will fail, likely everywhere west of the Cascades and possibly well beyond. If it happens at night, the ensuing catastrophe will unfold in darkness. In theory, those who are at home when it hits should be safest; it is easy and relatively inexpensive to seismically safeguard a private dwelling. But, lulled into nonchalance by their seemingly benign environment, most people in the Pacific Northwest have not done so. That nonchalance will shatter instantly. So will everything made of glass. Anything indoors and unsecured will lurch across the floor or come crashing down: bookshelves, lamps, computers, cannisters of flour in the pantry. Refrigerators will walk out of kitchens, unplugging themselves and toppling over. Water heaters will fall and smash interior gas lines. Houses that are not bolted to their foundations will slide off—or, rather, they will stay put, obeying inertia, while the foundations, together with the rest of the Northwest, jolt westward. Unmoored on the undulating ground, the homes will begin to collapse. Across the region, other, larger structures will also start to fail. Until 1974, the state of Oregon had no seismic code, and few places in the Pacific Northwest had one appropriate to a magnitude-9.0 earthquake until 1994. The vast majority of buildings in the region were constructed before then. Ian Madin, who directs the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI), estimates that seventy-five per cent of all structures in the state are not designed to withstand a major Cascadia quake. FEMA calculates that, across the region, something on the order of a million buildings—more than three thousand of them schools—will collapse or be compromised in the earthquake. So will half of all highway bridges, fifteen of the seventeen bridges spanning Portland’s two rivers, and two-thirds of railways and airports; also, one-third of all fire stations, half of all police stations, and two-thirds of all hospitals. Certain disasters stem from many small problems conspiring to cause one very large problem. For want of a nail, the war was lost; for fifteen independently insignificant errors, the jetliner was lost. Subduction-zone earthquakes operate on the opposite principle: one enormous problem causes many other enormous problems. The shaking from the Cascadia quake will set off landslides throughout the region—up to thirty thousand of them in Seattle alone, the city’s emergency-management office estimates. It will also induce a process called liquefaction, whereby seemingly solid ground starts behaving like a liquid, to the detriment of anything on top of it. Fifteen per cent of Seattle is built on liquefiable land, including seventeen day-care centers and the homes of some thirty-four thousand five hundred people. So is Oregon’s critical energy-infrastructure hub, a six-mile stretch of Portland through which flows ninety per cent of the state’s liquid fuel and which houses everything from electrical substations to natural-gas terminals. Together, the sloshing, sliding, and shaking will trigger fires, flooding, pipe failures, dam breaches, and hazardous-material spills. Any one of these second-order disasters could swamp the original earthquake in terms of cost, damage, or casualties—and one of them definitely will. Four to six minutes after the dogs start barking, the shaking will subside. For another few minutes, the region, upended, will continue to fall apart on its own. Then the wave will arrive, and the real destruction will begin. Among natural disasters, tsunamis may be the closest to being completely unsurvivable. The only likely way to outlive one is not to be there when it happens: to steer clear of the vulnerable area in the first place, or get yourself to high ground as fast as possible. For the seventy-one thousand people who live in Cascadia’s inundation zone, that will mean evacuating in the narrow window after one disaster ends and before another begins. They will be notified to do so only by the earthquake itself—“a vibrate-alert system,” Kevin Cupples, the city planner for the town of Seaside, Oregon, jokes—and they are urged to leave on foot, since the earthquake will render roads impassable. Depending on location, they will have between ten and thirty minutes to get out. That time line does not allow for finding a flashlight, tending to an earthquake injury, hesitating amid the ruins of a home, searching for loved ones, or being a Good Samaritan. “When that tsunami is coming, you run,” Jay Wilson, the chair of the Oregon Seismic Safety Policy Advisory Commission (OSSPAC), says. “You protect yourself, you don’t turn around, you don’t go back to save anybody. You run for your life.” The time to save people from a tsunami is before it happens, but the region has not yet taken serious steps toward doing so. Hotels and businesses are not required to post evacuation routes or to provide employees with evacuation training. In Oregon, it has been illegal since 1995 to build hospitals, schools, firehouses, and police stations in the inundation zone, but those which are already in it can stay, and any other new construction is permissible: energy facilities, hotels, retirement homes. In those cases, builders are required only to consult with DOGAMI about evacuation plans. “So you come in and sit down,” Ian Madin says. “And I say, ‘That’s a stupid idea.’ And you say, ‘Thanks. Now we’ve consulted.’ ” These lax safety policies guarantee that many people inside the inundation zone will not get out. Twenty-two per cent of Oregon’s coastal population is sixty-five or older. Twenty-nine per cent of the state’s population is disabled, and that figure rises in many coastal counties. “We can’t save them,” Kevin Cupples says. “I’m not going to sugarcoat it and say, ‘Oh, yeah, we’ll go around and check on the elderly.’ No. We won’t.” Nor will anyone save the tourists. Washington State Park properties within the inundation zone see an average of seventeen thousand and twenty-nine guests a day. Madin estimates that up to a hundred and fifty thousand people visit Oregon’s beaches on summer weekends. “Most of them won’t have a clue as to how to evacuate,” he says. “And the beaches are the hardest place to evacuate from.” Those who cannot get out of the inundation zone under their own power will quickly be overtaken by a greater one. A grown man is knocked over by ankle-deep water moving at 6.7 miles an hour. The tsunami will be moving more than twice that fast when it arrives. Its height will vary with the contours of the coast, from twenty feet to more than a hundred feet. It will not look like a Hokusai-style wave, rising up from the surface of the sea and breaking from above. It will look like the whole ocean, elevated, overtaking land. Nor will it be made only of water—not once it reaches the shore. It will be a five-story deluge of pickup trucks and doorframes and cinder blocks and fishing boats and utility poles and everything else that once constituted the coastal towns of the Pacific Northwest. To see the full scale of the devastation when that tsunami recedes, you would need to be in the international space station. The inundation zone will be scoured of structures from California to Canada. The earthquake will have wrought its worst havoc west of the Cascades but caused damage as far away as Sacramento, California—as distant from the worst-hit areas as Fort Wayne, Indiana, is from New York. FEMA expects to coördinate search-and-rescue operations across a hundred thousand square miles and in the waters off four hundred and fifty-three miles of coastline. As for casualties: the figures I cited earlier—twenty-seven thousand injured, almost thirteen thousand dead—are based on the agency’s official planning scenario, which has the earthquake striking at 9:41 A.M. on February 6th. If, instead, it strikes in the summer, when the beaches are full, those numbers could be off by a horrifying margin. Wineglasses, antique vases, Humpty Dumpty, hip bones, hearts: what breaks quickly generally mends slowly, if at all. OSSPAC estimates that in the I-5 corridor it will take between one and three months after the earthquake to restore electricity, a month to a year to restore drinking water and sewer service, six months to a year to restore major highways, and eighteen months to restore health-care facilities. On the coast, those numbers go up. Whoever chooses or has no choice but to stay there will spend three to six months without electricity, one to three years without drinking water and sewage systems, and three or more years without hospitals. Those estimates do not apply to the tsunami-inundation zone, which will remain all but uninhabitable for years. How much all this will cost is anyone’s guess; FEMA puts every number on its relief-and-recovery plan except a price. But whatever the ultimate figure—and even though U.S. taxpayers will cover seventy-five to a hundred per cent of the damage, as happens in declared disasters—the economy of the Pacific Northwest will collapse. Crippled by a lack of basic services, businesses will fail or move away. Many residents will flee as well. OSSPAC predicts a mass-displacement event and a long-term population downturn. Chris Goldfinger didn’t want to be there when it happened. But, by many metrics, it will be as bad or worse to be there afterward. On the face of it, earthquakes seem to present us with problems of space: the way we live along fault lines, in brick buildings, in homes made valuable by their proximity to the sea. But, covertly, they also present us with problems of time. The earth is 4.5 billion years old, but we are a young species, relatively speaking, with an average individual allotment of three score years and ten. The brevity of our lives breeds a kind of temporal parochialism—an ignorance of or an indifference to those planetary gears which turn more slowly than our own. This problem is bidirectional. The Cascadia subduction zone remained hidden from us for so long because we could not see deep enough into the past. It poses a danger to us today because we have not thought deeply enough about the future. That is no longer a problem of information; we now understand very well what the Cascadia fault line will someday do. Nor is it a problem of imagination. If you are so inclined, you can watch an earthquake destroy much of the West Coast this summer in Brad Peyton’s “San Andreas,” while, in neighboring theatres, the world threatens to succumb to Armageddon by other means: viruses, robots, resource scarcity, zombies, aliens, plague. As those movies attest, we excel at imagining future scenarios, including awful ones. But such apocalyptic visions are a form of escapism, not a moral summons, and still less a plan of action. Where we stumble is in conjuring up grim futures in a way that helps to avert them. That problem is not specific to earthquakes, of course. The Cascadia situation, a calamity in its own right, is also a parable for this age of ecological reckoning, and the questions it raises are ones that we all now face. How should a society respond to a looming crisis of uncertain timing but of catastrophic proportions? How can it begin to right itself when its entire infrastructure and culture developed in a way that leaves it profoundly vulnerable to natural disaster? The last person I met with in the Pacific Northwest was Doug Dougherty, the superintendent of schools for Seaside, which lies almost entirely within the tsunami-inundation zone. Of the four schools that Dougherty oversees, with a total student population of sixteen hundred, one is relatively safe. The others sit five to fifteen feet above sea level. When the tsunami comes, they will be as much as forty-five feet below it. In 2009, Dougherty told me, he found some land for sale outside the inundation zone, and proposed building a new K-12 campus there. Four years later, to foot the hundred-and-twenty-eight-million-dollar bill, the district put up a bond measure. The tax increase for residents amounted to two dollars and sixteen cents per thousand dollars of property value. The measure failed by sixty-two per cent. Dougherty tried seeking help from Oregon’s congressional delegation but came up empty. The state makes money available for seismic upgrades, but buildings within the inundation zone cannot apply. At present, all Dougherty can do is make sure that his students know how to evacuate. Some of them, however, will not be able to do so. At an elementary school in the community of Gearhart, the children will be trapped. “They can’t make it out from that school,” Dougherty said. “They have no place to go.” On one side lies the ocean; on the other, a wide, roadless bog. When the tsunami comes, the only place to go in Gearhart is a small ridge just behind the school. At its tallest, it is forty-five feet high—lower than the expected wave in a full-margin earthquake. For now, the route to the ridge is marked by signs that say “Temporary Tsunami Assembly Area.” I asked Dougherty about the state’s long-range plan. “There is no long-range plan,” he said. Dougherty’s office is deep inside the inundation zone, a few blocks from the beach. All day long, just out of sight, the ocean rises up and collapses, spilling foamy overlapping ovals onto the shore. Eighty miles farther out, ten thousand feet below the surface of the sea, the hand of a geological clock is somewhere in its slow sweep. All across the region, seismologists are looking at their watches, wondering how long we have, and what we will do, before geological time catches up to our own. via The New Yorker

Read Newly Released Text Messages Between Corrupt FBI Agents That Have Now Been Revealed As Press Leaks

- Everything These Two FBI Employees Touched Is Tainted

January 27, 2018 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

According to newly released text messages between high level FBI agent Peter Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page, we are learning more about the outright corruption with the FBI, not only in relation to setting up President Trump with a hoax investigation into Russia collusion which they previously referred to as an "insurance policy," but we now learn they were scared of political retaliation from Hillary Clinton if she were to win the presidential election if they were to "loaded for bear" in interviewing her in the investigation of classified information on her private email server. Newly released texts show discussions about leaking information to the press, and that while the FBI was investigating Hillary Clinton regarding her private email server and using it to communicate classified information, breaking the law in the process, the two high level employees were also transmitting "federal records pertaining to the Clinton investigation on private, non-government services." That separate issue is addressed in a hard hitting letter and request for answers and documentation by Senate Chairman of the Judiciary Committee Chuck Grassley, to FBI Director Christopher Wray. Newly released texts and Grassley's letter are embedded a little further down in the article. QUICK RECAP Over the last week information has been flowing out almost faster than we can keep up with, starting with the House Intelligence Committee vote, where Republicans voted to let the entire 435 members of the House to read a classified FISA abuse memo, with all Democrats on the committee voting against it, which we now know "names names" as to where FBI/DOJ abuses of power were used to obtain a FISA warrant to surveil members of the Trump presidential campaign team. The memo and abuses have been compared to Russia's KGB practices, "Jaw-Dropping," "explosive," and a number of other descriptors, while Democrats in a blind panic have been hitting the news circuit to try to blunt the impact because House Republicans plan to release this information to the general public. The DOJ and FBI are demanding to see the memo before it is released, the House Intelligence Republicans are refusing, which considering the amount of leaks within the FBI and DOJ, and that they obtained all information contained within the memo from those two agencies, seems logical. Then we learned the FBI conveniently "lost" five months worth of texts messages between the two FBI employees, and within the week the DOJ's Office of Inspector General had recovered the majority of them and was in the process of recovering the rest. Last but not least in the information ANP has already covered, Peter Strzok was removed from special counsel Robert Mueller's team after the OIG informed him of the extreme anti-Trump and pro-Hillary Clinton biases revealed in the previously release text messages between Strzok and Page, but both high level FBI employees had worked on both the Hillary Clinton investigation and the Russia probe before being assigned to Mueller's team. In other words, the FBI and the DOJ have a huge mess on their hands since these two obviously biased employees played key roles the two massively high profile investigations. THINGS JUST GOT WORSE NEW texts between the two have now been published and what we thought was a big mess to begin, has become exponentially messier, as evidenced by the content of not only Grassley's letter to Wray, but contained within the publicly available texts themselves. Grassley's letter to Wray is embedded below and under that are the actual redacted documentation showing the texts themselves (first one is two pages of texts, the next is seven pages), and beneath those are some highlights that we noted while going through the documentation. Grassley Letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray (Strzok Page Texts - Clinton Conflict, Special Counsel, Re... by The Conservative Treehouse on Scribd January 25, 2018 VIA ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION The Honorable Christopher Wray Director Federal Bureau of Investigation 935 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20535 Dear Director Wray: The Committee on the Judiciary is conducting oversight of the Department of Justice (DOJ), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and their investigation of classified information on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email server. On January 19, 2018, in response to previous requests from the Committee, DOJ produced to Congress 384 pages of text messages exchanged between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page. 1

However, according to a cover letter accompanying the production, the FBI did not preserve text messages between Mr. Strzok and Ms. Page between December 14, 2016 and May 17, 2017. The text messages that were provided raise serious concerns about the impartiality of senior leadership running both the Clinton and Trump investigations. Pulling Punches in the Clinton Investigation.

On February 25, 2016, Strzok and Page discussed via text how many personnel from DOJ and FBI would be included in the Clinton investigation and what the best ratio should be. In that discussion, Ms. Page issued the following warning to Mr. Strzok, about dealing with Secretary Clinton: Page:

One more thing: she might be our next president. The last thing you need us going in there loaded for bear. You think she’s going to remember or care that it was more doj than fbi? Strzok: Agreed. I called Bill and relayed what we discussed. He agrees. I will email you and [redacted] same. 2 1 Letter from Stephen Boyd, Assistant Attorney Gen. for Legislative Affairs, Dep’t of Justice, to Sen. Charles Grassley, Chairman, S. Comm. on the Judiciary (Jan. 19, 2018). The letter also included 384 pages of text messages between Mr. Strzok and Ms. Page. 2 DOJ-PROD-0000060. Emphasis added.

Strzok Page Text Messages 5-19-17 by Kristina Wong on Scribd

It is important to note that Strzok was also involved in the "review" of those State Department emails that were found on Weiner's laptop, as New York Post highlights in a December 2017 article. BOTTOM LINE With every new revelation about Strzok and Page it is clear that every investigation that in any way involved Hillary Clinton, President Trump or anybody associated with either of them, that these two high level employees took part in, must be reopened and re-investigated because their bias obviously tainted everything they touched or were involved in.

True Lies: The Financial Press Just Admitted the Markets are a Sham

Corbett • 01/21/2018

Take a recent story that bubbled up amid all the hype about the all-time record highs in the “What Could Possibly Go Wrong?” manipulated stock markets. You might have seen it. It was reported all over the usual MSM dinosaur fake news financial press outlets. Here’s the headline that the mother ship of the banksters’ fake news press, the Financial Times, ran with: “Nervous investors put the Bank of Japan in the spotlight” And here’s the NY Times formulation: “Investors Spooked at Specter of Central Banks Halting Bond-Buying Spree” And, perhaps most telling of all, this hot take from perennial market pimp CNBC: “Investors fear after Japan move the last of the global market ‘punch bowls’ are being taken away” The global market “punch bowls?” That sounds like a Corbett Report headline, not something from CNBC.

Sometimes the truest of hard truths are to be found smack dab in the middle of the fakest of fake news. You just have to read between the lines. Take a recent story that bubbled up amid all the hype about the all-time record highs in the “What Could Possibly Go Wrong?” manipulated stock markets. You might have seen it. It was reported all over the usual MSM dinosaur fake news financial press outlets. Here’s the headline that the mother ship of the banksters’ fake news press, the Financial Times, ran with: And here’s the NY Times formulation: And, perhaps most telling of all, this hot take from perennial market pimp CNBC: The global market “punch bowls?” That sounds like a Corbett Report headline, not something from CNBC. So what’s going on here? Well, the story is about the Bank of Japan’s (BOJ) recent decision to scale back its purchases of Japanese government bonds (JGBs). You may or may not know that the BOJ has been single-handedly propping up the Japanese bond market for the last five years by engaging in (in the characteristically blunt words of the banksters themselves) “Outright Purchases of Japanese Government Bonds.” These purchases have amounted to several trillion yen (i.e. several billion dollars) worth of bonds per month every month since 2013, a buying spree that has seen the BOJ become the largest holder of JGBs in the market. Then, as if that wasn’t enough, the BOJ actually promised unlimited bond purchases (literally whatever it takes to “calm markets”) last summer when word came that other central banks were starting to tighten their own monetary spigots. Not the subject of these particular headlines, but very relevant to the larger story, is the fact that the BOJ’s purchase of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) made it into a top 10 shareholder of 90% of the companies in the Nikkei 225 in 2016 and the largest single shareholder of 55 different companies in “Japan Inc.” What these latest headlines speak to is the fact that investors who have been riding the waves of BOJ-fueled euphoria in the rising Japanese stock market are now freaking out that the central banksters are getting ready to take away (as even CNBC calls it) the “punch bowl” of central bank funny money. The key words there are “getting ready.” As even (Rothschild) Reuters notes, “When Japan’s central bank made a small cut to its regular bond purchases this week, what should have been an unremarkable market operation to manage monetary policy shot the yen and bond yields higher as investors began to price in a rapid exit from crisis-era stimulus.” To be clear: This is not a change in policy. This is not an end of the BOJ’s JGB buying spree. This is just easing the foot off the gas pedal ever so slightly. And people are freaking out. So, in other words, the heroin might be in danger of running out sometime in the foreseeable future and the junkie is having pre-withdrawals. This is understandable. You don’t have to be a Corbett Report die-hard to know that the central banks have been behind the incredible decade-long bull run that has emerged in the wake of the Lehman debacle. Even the normiest of normies who only get their news from Yahoo! found out last year that a whopping 93% of that bull run was directly caused by the Fed’s intervention. As I say, you don’t have to be a regular at corbettreport.com to know that the central banks blew this market bubble…but it helps. After all, I’ve talked about it over and over and over and over since the very beginning of the Lehman crisis. In fact, as I noted in a previous article: This point is not even controversial. It has been the universal consensus of institutions ranging from the Bank for International Settlements to the Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum, and from OECD officials to former Fed Governors and even Alan “Bubbles” Greenspan himself. In fact, analyst after analyst and pundit after pundit–including the most mainstream of mainstream publications–have been sounding the alarm on the stock market bubble for much of the past year. And so finally, after our 10 year voyage through the looking-glass into economic wonderland, where bad news is good news because it means more central bank intervention, we now find ourselves traveling back the other way. Now good news (growing economic productivity, reflation, increasing optimism) is bad news because it means the BOJ and its bankster counterparts around the world are about to stop the carnival ride. Brace yourself accordingly. But is there anything deeper we can take out of this topsy-turvy journey? Perhaps this: the markets run on perception. When people believe the central banksters are willing to rain helicopter money down on Wall Street to keep the party going, they’ll invest and manifest that perception in reality. Markets will rise in response. When people believe the central banksters are going to take the punch bowl away, they’ll sell off their investments and manifest that perception in reality. Markets will fall in response. This is why the banksters call themselves the “Wizards of Wall Street.” It’s because they are performing magic. Magic in its non-mystical sense, that is: manifesting will into reality. The banksters can make the markets rise or fall, and believe themselves to be masters of the universe. Like all magic, it is an illusion. A trick. A sleight of hand. They get you looking at their jiggering of interest rates and buying of bonds to get you focused on a narrative that becomes self-fulfilling. “Don’t fight the Fed,” they say, and, because no one does, they usually end up being right. But the trick is that the banksters don’t have the power. You do. If you buy their narrative and follow their lead, you will bring their wishes into reality. And if you fight it, you’ll get steamrolled by the zombie hordes of Fed followers. The only alternative, it would seem, is to find your own path. One that doesn’t depend on the banksters and their rigged markets in the first place. Good thing I’ve talked about some of those alternatives in the past and will continue to talk about them in the future. In the meantime, watch for more bumps in the road as the BOJ and the European Central Bank and the Fed start to unwind some of the excess of the past 10 years. And look for the “madness of crowds” effect to take the stock markets in unexpected ways as people start believing in (and manifesting) the “Make America Goldman Again” stock market boom. But you and I know the real action will be on that third path. The one that the bankers don’t even want you to know about… etc. https://www.corbettreport.com/true-lies-the-financial-press-just-admitted-the-markets-are-a-sham/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+CorbettReportRSS

George Soros: Facebook and Google a menace to society

Billionaire says social media companies’ ‘days are numbered’

Soros warns of ‘far-reaching adverse consequences’ for democracy

Olivia Solon in San Francisco @oliviasolon Fri 26 Jan 2018 02.35 EST

Facebook and Google have become “obstacles to innovation” and are a “menace” to society whose “days are numbered”, said billionaire investor and philanthropist George Soros at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Thursday. “Mining and oil companies exploit the physical environment; social media companies exploit the social environment,” said the Hungarian-American businessman, according to a transcript of his speech. “This is particularly nefarious because social media companies influence how people think and behave without them even being aware of it. This has far-reaching adverse consequences on the functioning of democracy, particularly on the integrity of elections.” In addition to skewing democracy, social media companies “deceive their users by manipulating their attention and directing it towards their own commercial purposes” and “deliberately engineer addiction to the services they provide”. The latter, he said, “can be very harmful, particularly for adolescents”. “The power to shape people’s attention is increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few companies. It takes a real effort to assert and defend what John Stuart Mill called ‘the freedom of mind’. There is a possibility that once lost, people who grow up in the digital age will have difficulty in regaining it. This may have far-reaching political consequences.” Soros warned of an “even more alarming prospect” on the horizon if data-rich internet companies such as Facebook and Google paired their corporate surveillance systems with state-sponsored surveillance – a trend that’s already emerging in places such as the Philippines. “This may well result in a web of totalitarian control the likes of which not even Aldous Huxley or George Orwell could have imagined,” he said. The companies, which he described as “ever more powerful monopolies” are unlikely to change their behaviour without regulation. “The internet monopolies have neither the will nor the inclination to protect society against the consequences of their actions. That turns them into a menace and it falls to the regulatory authorities to protect society against them,” he said. He said Davos was a good place to announce: “Their days are numbered.” He also echoed the words of world wide web inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee when he said the tech giants had become “obstacles to innovation” that need to be regulated as public utilities “aimed at preserving competition, innovation and fair and open universal access”. During the same speech, Soros also criticised Donald Trump’s leadership, saying he had put the US on course for a nuclear war with North Korea. Soros is the latest high-profile business person to speak out about these internet platforms at Davos. Earlier this week, Salesforce’s chief executive, Marc Benioff, said that Facebook should be regulated like a cigarette company because it’s addictive and harmful. In November, Roger McNamee, who was an early investor in Facebook, described Facebook and Google as threats to public health. In the same month Facebook’s founding chairman, Sean Parker, criticised his former employer: “God only knows what it’s doing to our children’s brains,” he said.

YouTube: Keeping Americans in the Dark on Islam

A look at the more subtle side of the two-pronged war on the West.

January 26, 2018 Raymond Ibrahim

Raymond Ibrahim is a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center

In certain respects, the real struggle between Islam and the West has less to do with an inherently weak Islam and more to do with subversive Western elements that cover up for and thus empower Islam. Out-and-out censorship is one of these tactics. In a January 10 email titled, “We’re Suing Google – Here’s Why,” Prager University, which produces short videos on subjects “important to understanding American values,” explained that “YouTube has chosen repeatedly to restrict some of our videos for violating their ‘Community Guidelines.’ Those guidelines are meant to protect users against viewing sexual content, violent or graphic content, and hate speech,” even though “our videos contain nothing even remotely close to any of these categories.” Prager U had “filed a complaint with YouTube, hoping that there was some kind of innocent mistake. That’s when we were told by YouTube that after reviewing our videos, they determined that they were, indeed, ‘not appropriate for a younger audience.’” Accordingly, several Prager U videos do not appear on YouTube accounts that block sexual or graphic content. (For more on this matter and/or to sign Prager U’s petition against YouTube’s decision, click here.) To appreciate just how much YouTube’s decision is based on preventing Americans (especially its youth, its future) from understanding the threats Islam poses—and thereby empowering Islam vis-à-vis America—consider the videos I made for Prager U, which are among those currently being restricted by YouTube. The first is called “Radical Islam: The Most Dangerous Ideology.” Although in it I distinguished between “radical” Muslims and those many Muslims in name only; although I (very conservatively) suggested that perhaps ten percent of the world’s Muslims are “Islamists,” and of those, only two percent are willing to take violent action to enforce their supremacist worldview; and although I said things like “Islamists have killed far more Muslims than members of any other group”—YouTube still deemed that video “inappropriate” for younger audiences. My other Prager U video is even more telling. Titled, “The World's Most Persecuted Minority: Christians,” it is dedicated to shedding light on the plight of Christians, specifically in Muslim lands, where the majority of persecution takes place. This too is censored. In other words, shedding light on what many Western authorities have referred to as a “genocide” of Christians, is, for YouTube, as “inappropriate” for youth as sexual, graphic, or hate filled videos. Needless to say, not only are there no real images in the video (sexual, graphic or otherwise), but I attribute the violence against Christians to “fundamentalists” and “fundamentalist interpretations” of the Koran, meaning there’s certainly no “hate” either. Meanwhile, “other videos on similar topics — but from a liberal perspective — are not” restricted by YouTube. Videos dealing with the alleged or real mistreatment of Muslims at the hands of non-Muslims—which fits the narrative well—are not restricted. When both my Prager U videos came out, they each quickly reached over one million views. Once YouTube restricted them, their views dropped accordingly—meaning mission (keeping America’s youth in the dark about Islam) achieved. This, of course, is one of many personal and impersonal examples of YouTube’s cover up efforts. Back on April 22, 2015, I came across a short Islamic State video that was only available on Arabic websites at the time. In it, IS members were videotaped destroying crosses inside and atop churches, while Koran verses against “polytheism” were recited in the background. I decided to upload and post it on YouTube—to show the people of the West what the people of the Muslim world were privy to. YouTube took the video down and sent me a “warning” email. By this perverse logic, it is not the Islamic State that is engaging in hate by destroying crucifixes, but rather me—for simply exposing it. This episode recently came to mind when President Trump retweeted (from an account since suspended) an image of an IS member holding a Virgin Mary statue (which he later smashed). If that rather innocuous image went viral, consider if Trump and/or others had seen and drawn attention to the much more graphic video and images of IS members destroying numerous crosses and desecrating churches? Thanks to YouTube censorship, this possibility was not allowed. The people of the West need to wake up to the fact that they are involved in a war on two fronts: one with a people that wishes to subjugate them and another with smiley-faced, homegrown elements that go to great lengths to keep these ugly truths hid.

Researchers create tiny robots powered only by moisture

They can move without any need for a power supply.

Mallory Locklear, @mallorylocklear 01.26.18 in Robots

Tiny robots that can move on their own stand to have a variety of uses in fields ranging from medicine to the military. But having to supply them with constant power is a bit of a hindrance, especially when that power poses a safety hazard -- you can't really have robots running around a human body if their batteries are at risk of exploding. However, in a new study, researchers turn to plants in order to get around this problem and the result is a tiny, inchworm-like robot that runs on humidity. What inspired the researchers behind these little robots were plants like Pelargonium carnosum, the seeds of which can screw themselves into the ground, and pine cones that open and close depending on the humidity in order to ensure their seeds spread as far as possible. These plants are able to do this because they have multiple layers of cells, some of which are affected by moisture and some of which aren't. When the plants come in contact with moisture, those layers that are responsive to it tend to stretch or swell and since other layers don't, it results in some sort of useful motion -- either a spinning motion that can drive seeds into the ground or an open and close motion that can keep seeds in place until conditions are optimal for dispersal. The researchers mimicked these plants by developing a dual-layered material made from nanofibers. When that material came in contact with moisture, one layer swelled while the other stayed the same, causing the material to move. When it dried, the moisture-responsive layer shrank back to its original state, resulting in movement in the opposite direction. And with that motion, the team was able to create tiny robots that can move along a surface kind of like an inchworm or wriggle like a snake. They researchers say such devices could be used for military or industrial applications or even in the medical world. To demonstrate, they loaded one of these "hygrobots" up with an antibiotic and had it inch across a petri dish filled with media. Afterwords, when most of the dish's contents were covered with bacteria, the strip along the bot's path was completely bacteria-free. The research team is now working on giving these robots a greater range of motion and equipping them with sensors that will let them respond to particular gases. The study was published this week in Science Robotics.

Suicide bomber in ambulance kills at least 103, over 230 injured in Afghanistan

By PHILLIP WALTER WELLMAN | STARS AND STRIPES Published: January 27, 2018

KABUL, Afghanistan — At least 103 people were killed and more than 230 were wounded on Saturday when an ambulance packed with explosives was detonated in central Kabul, officials said. The explosion was the third high-profile attack in Afghanistan in a week, and the deadliest this year, highlighting the fragile security situation in the country, more than 16 years after a U.S. invasion ousted the Taliban from power. The vehicle made it past a checkpoint in a heavily secured area near the capital’s Sadarat Square — about a mile from the US Embassy and NATO’s Resolute Support headquarters — before being stopped at a second checkpoint, where it exploded, Basir Mujahid, a spokesman for Kabul Police said. It was lunchtime and many people were in the street. “Most of the victims are civilians,” Mujahid said. “It was a terrible attack that killed women, children, shopkeepers and visitors to the area.” Dejan Panic, a coordinator with the NGO Emergency, which operates a nearby hospital that treated victims, described the scene as “a massacre.” Central Command chief Gen. Joseph Votel was at the Afghan Defense Ministry in Kabul when the bombing took place, reporters from the Wall Street Journal and Defense One who were accompanying Votel said on Twitter late Saturday. Votel and his traveling party were not hurt and have since continued onward. The Taliban claimed responsibility and said the bombing targeted a building used by the Interior Ministry and High Peace Council, a body set up in 2010 to negotiate with insurgents. A number of police officers were killed or wounded, a statement by the group added. After the attack, dozens of people waited outside the Emergency Hospital for news of their loved ones, including Mohammadullah, a young travel agent whose friend was missing. “Our government is doing nothing for us,” Mohammadullah, who like many Afghans uses just one name, said. “People are living in fear—they can’t go to their jobs. Instead of getting better, it’s getting worse day-by-day, and the attacks are getting deadlier.” Officials expect the death toll from the attack, already one of the highest of the war, to rise. The deadliest attack happened last May, when a truck-bomb attributed to the Taliban-allied Haqqani Network exploded near the German Embassy in Kabul, killing over 150. The U.S. has recently increased airstrikes against the Taliban and other militant groups in Afghanistan in the hopes of breaking a stalemate and getting the insurgents to the negotiating table. After a recent visit to Afghanistan, the U.S.’s ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, said the aggressive policy was working and that peace talks were closer than ever. Afghanistan’s Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah condemned Saturday’s bombing, calling it, “insane, inhuman, heinous and a war crime.” “We will bring its perpetrators to justice and take necessary measures to avoid such barbarism in the future,” Abdullah said on Twitter. Tadamichi Yamamoto, head of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, said in a statement the attack was “nothing short of an atrocity.” “While the Taliban claim suggested the purpose of the attack was to target police, a massive vehicle bomb in a densely populated area could not reasonably be expected to leave civilians unharmed,” the statement said. NATO vowed to stand with the Afghan government, following the explosion. The blast came three days after militants affiliated with a local branch of the Islamic State group attacked a Save the Children office in the eastern city of Jalalabad, killing at least four people. Four days before that attack, a group of gunmen stormed Kabul’s Intercontinental Hotel, killing at least 22 people, including four Americans. Chad Garland and Zubair Babakarkhail contributed to this report.

Trump to Netanyahu: We took Jerusalem off the table in future peace negotiations

U.S. president says past Israeli Palestinian peace deals failed because of disagreement over Jerusalem, so he "took off the toughest issue." • Chief Palestinian negotiator says taking Jerusalem off the table is tantamount to "taking peace off the table."

Eldad Beck, Shlomo Cesana, Erez Linn, Yoni Hersch, Reuters and Israel Hayom Staff

Speaking alongside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Thursday, U.S. President Donald Trump dramatically changed the rules of the decades long Israeli Palestinian peace process, saying that "we took Jerusalem off the table." At a press conference ahead of the bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the conference, Trump placed the full responsibility for restarting the peace talks on the Palestinians. Breaking from his previous assertion that his Dec. 6 recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel did not indicate that he had taken a stance on the future of Jerusalem in negotiations, Trump said that "there were never any deals that came close because [of] Jerusalem. You couldn't ever get past Jerusalem. So when people said, oh, I 'set it back' – I didn’t set it back. I helped it. Because by taking it off the table, that was the toughest issue. And Israel will pay for that." "It's great to be with Prime Minister Netanyahu," Trump began. "We've developed a great relationship, both as countries where I think it's never been stronger – and I can honestly say that – and also, as personal friends." Touching on his "big" and "historic" pledge to relocate the U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem as part of the official recognition of the Israeli capital, Trump went on to say that it was "way ahead of schedule, by years, and we anticipate having a small version of it opened sometime next year." Trump has yet to unveil his plan for the peace process, one he has touted in the past as the "ultimate deal." When asked whether a plan was forthcoming, he replied: "Yes, we have a proposal for peace. It's a great proposal for the Palestinians. I think it's a very good proposal for Israel. It covers a lot of the things that were over the years discussed and agreed on." Trump then admonished the Palestinians for boycotting U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, who visited the region this week and reiterated his threat that he would withhold aid from them unless they return to the negotiating table. "I spoke to some of the people involved, and I said did you ever talk about the vast amount of money that we give to the Palestinians? Because it is hundreds of millions of dollars," Trump said. "When they disrespected us a week ago by not allowing our great vice president to see them, and we give them hundreds of millions of dollars in aid and support, tremendous numbers, numbers that nobody understands. That money's on the table. That money's not going to them unless they sit down and negotiate peace." He added, however, that "I don't know that it [peace talks] will ever take place," stressing that Israel wants "to make peace, and I hope the Palestinians want to make peace. And if they do, everybody is going to be very happy in the end. We'll see what happens." Addressing Trump directly, Netanyahu said, "This is the first meeting we've had since your historic decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital and to move the embassy, and now to expedite the movement of the embassy, to Jerusalem." "I want to say that this is a historic decision that will be forever etched in the hearts of our people for generations to come. People say that this pushes peace backward. I say it pushes peace forward because it recognizes history, it recognizes the present reality, and peace can only be built on the basis of truth," Netanyahu said. Netanyahu also stressed that Israel supports Trump "completely in your stalwart position on the Iran nuclear deal," referring to the nuclear agreement reached between Iran and world powers in 2015 that aimed to curb Iran's nuclear aspirations in exchange for lifting crippling sanctions. "You've said it's a disastrous deal. You've said that if its fatal flaws are not fixed, that you should walk away from it. And I want you to know that if you decide to do that, then we will back you all the way," he said. After the conclusion of the meeting, Netanyahu said he was "fully convinced that the United States backs Israel's opposition to Iranian military entrenchment in Syria, with the explicit goal that Iran doesn't hide of trying to destroy Israel from Syria." "The President [Trump] couldn't have been more explicit in his support for our right of self-defense," Netanyahu said. Netanyahu said the Iranian nuclear deal was "flawed", and is creating an opportunity for Iran to "produce an arsenal of nuclear weapons" that would fuel Iran's aggression, which he said, should be stopped by all leaders. Iran says its nuclear program is only for peaceful purposes and that it will stick to the accord as long as world powers respect it, but will "shred" the deal if Washington pulls out. Regarding the halted peace process, Netanyahu said, "Yes, I'm ready for peace. I explained that to President Trump. I reaffirmed my willingness and Israel's willingness to engage in an effort to achieve peace with the Palestinians – an effort that is being advanced by his very able team. We are interested in pursuing it." Netanyahu also said that, together with the support of U.S. President Trump, he is willing to "engage in an effort to achieve peace with Palestinians." Meanwhile, Thursday, Palestinian chief negotiator Saeb Erekat condemned Trump's comments. "Saying that Jerusalem is off the negotiating table translates into saying that peace is off the negotiating table," Erekat said. "This is very disrespectful to the international community, very disrespectful to international law, this is just rewarding the Israeli aggression and occupation, and throwing this region down a path of chaos and loneliness and bloodshed. This must stop." What Palestinians and Israelis need," he went on to say, "they need a meaningful peace process that would lead to the two-state solution, the state of Palestine with east Jerusalem as its capital to live side by side in peace and security with the State of Israel on the 1967 rights. Anything else would be to throw Palestinians and Israelis deeper and deeper into this cycle of violence and counter-violence."

Trump to Netanyahu: Palestinians ‘disrespected’ Pence and stand to lose aid

January 25, 2018 11:21am

(JTA) — President Donald Trump said Palestinians disrespected Vice President Mike Pence when they snubbed him this week and threatened to cut off assistance to the Palestinians unless they returned to the negotiating table. “When they disrespected us a week ago by not allowing our great vice president to see them and we give them hundreds of millions of dollars in aid and support, tremendous numbers, numbers that nobody understands, that money’s on the table, that money’s not going to them unless they sit down and negotiate peace,” Trump said Thursday at a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the World Economic Summit in Davos, Switzerland. Palestinians declined to meet with Pence during his visit to the region, blaming Trump’s decision last month to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Trump has since threatened to cut all funding to the Palestinians, and in recent weeks, the administration froze $65 million in U.S. funding for UNRWA, the organization that delivers relief to Palestinian refugees and their descendants. It is allowing another $60 million to go through. Trump suggested that should negotiations resume, Netanyahu would have to come up with concessions. “You win one point,” Trump said, looking at Netanyahu and apparently referring to his recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, “and you’ll give up some points later on in the negotiation if it ever takes place. I don’t know that it ever will take place.” He also said he believed Israel wanted to negotiate peace. “I can tell you that Israel does want to make peace and they’re [the Palestinians] going to have to want to make peace too or we’re going to have nothing to do with it any longer,” he said. Pence said during his Israel trip this week that the United States would move its embassy to Jerusalem to 2019, and Trump added some detail on Thursday. “We anticipate having a small version of it open by next year,” Trump said, apparently confirming reports that the embassy will temporarily be in a building already owned by the United States, while a larger new embassy is built. Netanyahu thanked Trump for recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and promising to move the embassy, for his support for Israel’s position on the Iran nuclear deal and for U.S. support at the United Nations. “As you finish your first year in office, I want to say that I look forward to continuing our remarkable, tremendous friendship in the years ahead, and I want to express the appreciation of the people of Israel to you,” said Netanyahu.

Kabul attack: Taliban kill 95 with ambulance bomb in Afghan capital

5 minutes ago

Attackers drove an ambulance laden with explosives past a police checkpoint in a secure zone, home to government offices and foreign embassies. The target is believed to have been an interior ministry building, but many people were hit while walking by. The Taliban have said they carried out the attack, the deadliest for months. A week ago, Taliban militants killed 22 people in a luxury Kabul hotel. Witnesses say the area - also home to offices of the European Union, a hospital and a shopping zone known as Chicken Street - was crowded with people when the bomb exploded on Saturday at about 12:15 local time (08:45 GMT). Plumes of smoke were seen from around the city. MP Mirwais Yasini told the BBC the area looked like a butchers afterwards. He was having lunch at his family home, just metres away, when the blast went off. "First of all we thought it was inside our house," he said. Then he went outside and saw scattered bodies. "It is very, very inhumane." Who are the Taliban? Four days behind the Taliban front line How Kabul's Chicken Street fell on hard times Another witness, a software engineer who wished to remain anonymous, told the BBC he was about a 1km away when he heard the noise. "I saw a huge flame," he said. "The smoke was pungent. It entered my eyes and I was not able to see for some time." He said when he moved closer he saw the dead bodies, and it looked like a "brutal graveyard". "It was a terrible moment. [The area] is completely destroyed." The International Committee of the Red Cross said the use of an ambulance was "harrowing". Nasrat Rahimi, deputy spokesperson for the Interior Ministry, said the attacker got through a security checkpoint after telling police he was taking a patient to nearby Jamhuriat hospital. He detonated the bomb at a second checkpoint, said Mr Rahimi. The BBC's Zia Shahreyar, speaking from the scene, says it is not easy to get through the checkpoints. Cars are searched and drivers' identities checked. He adds that questions will be asked about how the attacker got through. This is the deadliest attack in Kabul in several months. In October, 176 people were killed in bomb attacks across Afghanistan in one week. The country's security forces in particular have suffered heavy casualties at the hands of the Taliban, who want to re-impose their strict version of Islamic law in the country. In May, 150 people were killed by a suicide bomb attack in Kabul. The Taliban denied any role, but the Afghan government says its affiliate, the Haqqani group, carried it out with support from Pakistan. Pakistan denies supporting militants that carry out attacks in Afghanistan. This month, the US cut its security aid to Pakistan, saying it had failed to take action against terrorist networks on its soil. The Taliban control large swathes of Afghanistan and parts of neighbouring Pakistan. They were ousted from power in Afghanistan after a US-led invasion in 2001 but returned to run some key areas.

ICE To Start Scanning People’s License Plates

Eric Lieberman Tech and Law Reporter 2:06 PM 01/26/2018

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency has secured access to “a commercially available license plate reader database,” according to an ICE Official. “Like most other law enforcement agencies, ICE uses information obtained from license plate readers as one tool in support of its investigations,” ICE spokeswoman Dani Bennett told The Daily Caller News Foundation. “ICE conducts both criminal investigations and civil immigration enforcement investigations.” Bennett added that they are not trying to develop a license plate reader database and promises that it will not collect any data and subsequently contribute to any other databases through the awarded contract, which was first reported by The Verge. The contract was publicized Jan. 8 through the General Services Administration’s (GSA) federal license website. The details, though, were sparse. The contract, according to an ICE official, is with “West Publishing (TRSS)” which is partnering with Vigilant Solutions to provide the service. The official says that any agent trying to use the service will be forced to agree to a set of rules beforehand, like inputting “a reason code” and pledging to not share the data with other internal system users or external parties. Civil liberties advocacy groups have long complained of such technology, specifically that it’s being abused to spy on law-abiding, innocent citizens. The American Civil Liberties Union, for example, alleges: The information captured by the readers – including the license plate number, and the date, time, and location of every scan – is being collected and sometimes pooled into regional sharing systems. As a result, enormous databases of innocent motorists’ location information are growing rapidly. This information is often retained for years or even indefinitely, with few or no restrictions to protect privacy rights. The Department of Homeland Security, which has jurisdiction over ICE, originally nixed a plan to acquire a tracking system for license plates in February 2014. Due to certain privacy concerns, officials then mandated that all future, similar plans be thoroughly probed before implementation. However, ICE circumvented the new protocol and signed a one-year contract with a company offering a commercially-available license plate database, according to The Washington Post. ICE officials at the time also assured that it was not going to use it in any excessive ways, and that it was limited to criminal investigations already far into the law enforcement process. That contract was also with Vigilant Solutions, which told WaPo that roughly 3,200 law enforcement agencies across the country (local, state, and federal) use their National Vehicle Locator Service. “As a tool, it was very useful,” an anonymous agency official told WaPo in 2014. “We were after illegal aliens who were wanted on aggravated felonies or who had warrants as drug dealers. It helped narrow down to an apartment complex or city block. You locate the vehicle, then you can start watching the vehicle to find the person. It was very successful.” The DHS then reportedly scaled back the tracking system again. An ICE official says that was in fact ultimately cancelled, “due to failed price negotiations.” Past instances seemed to have fueled their purpotedly genuine desire to ensure that nothing improper occurs. “Due to privacy concerns during a previous solicitation, in 2015, ICE completed a privacy impact assessment which was used to create a framework for use of the technology,” said Bennett. “The privacy impact assessment was updated prior to ICE’s use of any license plate reader database, to reflect how the contract meets the established privacy requirements. These are the most stringent requirements known to have been applied for the use of this technology.” The ACLU, in its report titled “You Are Being Tracked,” says such capabilities “would pose few civil liberties risks if they only checked plates against hot lists,” but that often the data is stored and used for other purposes, going beyond the bounds of the target — even if law enforcement says it’s not supposed to be that way. “More and more cameras, longer retention periods, and widespread sharing allow law enforcement agents to assemble the individual puzzle pieces of where we have been over time into a single, high-resolution image of our lives,” the report states. “The knowledge that one is subject to constant monitoring can chill the exercise of our cherished rights to free speech and association.” It’s not just ICE and the larger DHS employing the service. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), part of the U.S. Department of Justice, has also been accused of using and abusing license plate-tracking technology.

Florida legislators favor ‘In God We Trust’ motto in schools

By Adelle M. Banks | January 25, 2018

(RNS) — A Florida legislative subcommittee has unanimously approved a bill that calls for the state’s motto, “In God We Trust,” to be placed in every public school. The bill, which calls for each district school board to adopt rules about displaying the motto “in a conspicuous place,” was co-sponsored by state Rep. Kimberly Daniels, a Democrat and a minister affiliated with churches in Jacksonville and Fort Lauderdale. “This motto is inscribed on the walls of this great capital and inked in our currency and it should be displayed so that our children will be exposed and educated on this great motto, which is a part of this country’s foundation,” said Daniels in brief remarks Tuesday (Jan. 23) before the panel. Other legislators voiced support for the measure, citing a national trust in God. But Maggie Garrett, legislative director for Americans United for Separation of Church and State, told the Tampa Bay Times such a stance would differ from court rulings barring schools from promoting religion. “Not all kids in Florida public schools believe in God,” Garrett noted, and they shouldn’t feel pressured while in school.” A parent opposing the measure said the proposal was unnecessary because a state statute already requires schools’ display of the state flag, which includes the motto. The phrase has been part of the state seal since 1868 and has been the state’s official motto since 2006. “That current statute satisfies the requirement to display our state motto, which is, of course, on our state flag,” Sue Woltanski of the group Common Ground told the panel. “Common Ground is opposed to bills that fail to address real issues in education and waste taxpayer dollars and time.” In response to a question from another legislator about the costs of the proposal, Daniels said she didn’t think it would be significant. “I think the importance of our children knowing their history and being able to see this will far much outweigh whatever small cost that there may be,” said Daniels, author of “The Demon Dictionary,” published by Pentecostal publisher Charisma House. “This motto is inscribed on the walls of this great capital and inked in our currency and it should be displayed so that our children will be exposed and educated on this great motto, which is a part of this country’s foundation.” — Florida state Rep. Kimberly Daniels State Rep. Ralph Massullo, a Republican, said he agreed with Daniels and compared the display of the motto to that of posted pictures of elected officials in public buildings and changing them in new administrations “If there would be a time when the motto of our state would change for whatever reason — and God help us if it does — then that can change as well,” he said. The motto “In God We Trust” has been on U.S. coins since 1864 and on paper currency since 1957. Its presence — on coins to license plates — has been a subject of debate for decades. In 2017, Tennessee approved an optional license plate that says “In God We Trust.” In 2014, atheists lost their latest fight over removing it from currency when a court ruled it does not violate the U.S. Constitution.

Hidden photo of Obama and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan surfaces after 13 years

by Katie Leach | Jan 25, 2018, 6:10 PM

A photo of former President Barack Obama and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan from 2005 surfaced on Thursday after more than a decade of a journalist keeping the encounter under wraps. The photo of Obama and Farrakhan was taken at a Congressional Black Caucus meeting in 2005, but it never reached the public eye after the caucus asked the photographer, Askia Muhammad, to hand it over in fear that it would stain Obama’s political future. “I sort of understood what was going on,” Muhammad told Talking Points Memo, who was allowed to print the picture with his permission. “I promised and made arrangements to give the picture to Leonard Farrakhan,” the leader’s chief-of-staff and son-in-law. The Congressional Black Caucus allegedly contacted Muhammad in a “panic” shortly after the event and asked him to hand over the photograph. Muhammad said he made a copy of the photograph on his computer before he gave “the disk” from his camera over to a staff member. “Realizing that I had given it up, I mean, it was sort of like a promise to keep the photograph secret,” the photographer said, while explaining he didn’t release his copy because he didn’t want to betray that promise. “I was really, I guess, afraid of them,” he continued. Muhammad was afraid that someone would “break into his apartment” in search of the photo, like “that Watergate crap” if he was to ever release it. During the 2008 presidential election, Farrakhan made headlines for his alleged ties to then-Senator Obama and his anti-Semitic remarks, which Obama denounced during a debate.

Aussie flu virus H3N2 killing around 100 people per week in the US while flu fatalities have soared by 77 percent in just one week in England

Monday, 22 January 2018 Posted by Gary Walton at 1:46 pm

While the impact of flu varies, it places a substantial burden on the health of people in the United States each year. CDC estimates that influenza has resulted in between 9.2 million and 35.6 million illnesses, between 140,000 and 710,000 hospitalizations and between 12,000 and 56,000 deaths annually since 2010. Credit CDC. It's exactly 100 years since the Spanish flu infected 500 million and killed an estimated 100 million people around the world. Fast forward to 2018 and experts are worried another monster pandemic is emerging called "The Australian Flu!" And the caveat is, this season's flu vaccines are no match for this new virus. There are four types of influenza viruses: A, B, C and D.  Human influenza A and B viruses cause seasonal epidemics of disease almost every winter in the West. The emergence of a new and very different influenza A virus is infecting people and causing an influenza pandemic in the West. A devastating A virus- H3N2, sometimes referred to as the Aussie flu is proving to be "a very different influenza" and is causing concern among experts with a new influenza pandemic on the horizon. The name Aussie flu comes from the H3N2 strain which caused big problems for Australia during their winter in 2017, which was their worst flu season in 10 years.  Fast forward to the Northern Hemisphere in January 2018, the CDC (Center for Disease Control) has announced deadly flu virus H3N2 has been killing around 100 people per week in the US since mid-December. According to the Independent, A report published by the CDC with the latest figures showed there were 759 flu deaths between 7 October and 23 December. It also said since early December more than 100 people were dying every week from the flu and the death toll could increase as there has been a further rise in the number of hospital admissions. The Daily Mail claims flu fatalities have soared by 77 percent in just a week in England, Government figures reveal as fears of the worst outbreak in 50 years loom large. In the UK, 149 people have so far died and last week 4,500 people were hospitalised, according to Public Health England figures. Some 120 flu deaths have been recorded in England, 21 in Scotland and eight in Northern Ireland. There is no precise data available for Wales. Japanese flu Another strain of flu, Yamagata or Japanese flu, was reported to have infected people in Greater Manchester this week. Japanese flu is a subtype of Influenza B, whereas Aussie flu is a type A. It has similar symptoms to other sub-types of 'flu but it's generally milder than A strains, according to Dr Coyle He added: “Yamagata also tends to affect mainly children and is much more contagious as a result because children spread viruses more easily than adults.

Scientists are worried a mysterious “zombie” disease killing deer could spread to humans

January 20, 2018 10:37 am

Deer across North America are dying from a mysterious disease that gradually destroys the animals’ nervous systems. And scientists are concerned that the infection could make its way to humans. Chronic wasting disease — or “zombie deer disease” — was first observed in 1967 in Fort Collins, Colorado, and has since infected wild herds in 24 states and Canada, as well as in South Korea and Norway, NPR reported. “CWD passes from animal to animal through prions, misfolded proteins that cause other proteins to misfold around them,” NPR reported. “Different prion diseases tend to only harm certain species, but can evolve to overcome those limitations.” In some herds, as many as half of the animals carry prions. But direct contact isn’t the only way prions are transmitted. According to The New York Times, sick animals and cadavers can spread prions through plants and soil, which could be coated with deformed proteins for years, perhaps even decades. An animal infected with the disease can live two years before signs of symptoms — such as a vacant stare, thick saliva, exposed ribs or drooping heads — become visible. There have been no reported human illnesses due to the disease, and scientists don’t have conclusive evidence that infected meat has ever harmed people, suggesting there is a “species barrier” between humans and deer. Researchers led by Mark Zabel, associate director at Colorado State University’s Prion Research Center, found that macaque monkeys who ate infected deer contracted the disease, the first time the disease was shown to spread to a primate through meat. “While most research shows there’s a robust species barrier, this recent study showed that barrier might not be quite as robust as we once thought,” Matt Dunfee, head of the Chronic Wasting Disease Alliancein Fort Collins, Colorado, told NPR. Zabel and his team also found that the prions involved in the “zombie disease,” which scientists have only known about for 50 years, are probably still evolving, “which leads us to believe it’s only a matter of time before a prion emerges that can spread to humans,” NPR reported. Mad cow disease, for example, is a prion disease that evolved from scrapie, a deadly disease that afflicts sheep. Once the prions were passed to cows, the cows developed a prion disease of their own (mad cow disease). And when humans ate the beef from those sick cows, they developed prions in their own brains. As of 2016, according to the Food and Drug Administration, 231 people had died from the condition. Zabel believes the only way to get rid of CWD prions is to set controlled fires. But “there’s a lot that we still don’t know and don’t understand about the disease,” Zabel said in an interview with The New York Times. According to Michael Miller, senior wildlife veterinarian for Colorado Parks and Wildlife, mule deer transmission more than tripled toward the end of 2017, and CWD continues to be prevalent in Colorado. Public health officials in the area have been monitoring for CWD and human brain-wasting diseases, such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. But over the past 21 years, rising rates of both diseases haven’t impacted human health. Still, as a precaution, Dunfee told NPR, “if you are hunting in an area where CWD is found, have your animal tested. If it comes back positive, don’t eat the meat.” Read the full study published in the “Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews” at mmbr.asm.org.

Philippine volcano explodes, villagers flee back to shelters

By jim gomez, associated press Jan 22, 2018, 7:48 AM ET

MANILA, Philippines — The Philippines' most active volcano ejected a huge column of lava fragments, ash and smoke in a thunderous explosion Monday, sending thousands of villagers back to evacuation centers and prompting a warning that a violent eruption may be imminent. The midday explosion sent superheated lava, molten rocks and steam between 3.5 to 5 kilometers (2 to 3 miles) into the blue sky, and then some cascaded down Mount Mayon's slopes and shrouded nearby villages in darkness, Renato Solidum of the Philippine Institute of Seismology and Volcanology and other officials said. From the crater, the deadly debris billowed about three kilometers (1.8 miles) down on the southern plank of Mayon toward a no-entry danger zone. There were no immediate reports of deaths or injuries, officials said. The explosion was the most powerful since the volcano started acting up more than a week ago. Due to its relatively gentle eruption last week, thousands left emergency shelters and returned to their communities in Legazpi city outside the danger zone. But Monday's blast sent nearly 12,000 fleeing back to evacuation centers, raising the number of people in those shelters to more than 30,000, Yucot said. Authorities on Monday raised the alert level to four on a scale of five, which means an explosive eruption is possible within hours or days. A danger zone around Mayon was expanded to 8 kilometers (5 miles) from the crater, which means thousands of villagers will have to leave their homes, officials said. Airplanes were ordered to stay away from the crater and ash-laden winds and several flights were canceled. Volcanic ash fell in about a dozen towns in coconut-growing Albay province, where Mayon lies, and in nearby Camarines Sur province, with visibility being heavily obscured in a few towns because of the thick gray ash fall, Jukes Nunez, an Albay provincial disaster response officer, said by telephone. "It was like night time at noon, there was zero visibility in some areas because the ash fall was so thick," Nunez said. More than 30,000 ash masks and about 5,000 sacks of rice, along with medicine, water and other supplies, were being sent to evacuation centers, Office of Civil Defense regional director Claudio Yucot said. Mayon lies about 340 kilometers (210 miles) southeast of Manila. With its near-perfect cone, it is popular with climbers and tourists but has erupted about 50 times in the last 500 years, sometimes violently. In 2013, an ash eruption killed five climbers who had ventured near the summit despite warnings. Mayon's first recorded eruption was in 1616 and the most destructive, in 1814, killed more than 1,200 people and buried the town of Cagsawa in volcanic mud. The belfry of Cagsawa's stone church still juts out from the ground in an eerie reminder of Mayon's fury. The Philippines lies in the "Ring of Fire," a line of seismic faults surrounding the Pacific Ocean where earthquakes and volcanic activity are common. In 1991, Mount Pinatubo in the northern Philippines exploded in one of the biggest volcanic eruptions of the 20th century, killing about 800 people.

Human levitation and Star Trek-style tractor beams on horizon as scientists crack how to suspend large objects

By Sarah Knapton, Science Editor 22 January 2018 • 6:00am

Human levitation and Star Trek-style tractor beams have moved a step closer after scientists proved they can stably hold a large object suspended in mid-air, using only sound. Researchers have been trying for decades to trap objects using only the power of sound but it has always proved impossible to hold an item steady if it was larger than the wavelength of the sound. Objects inevitably ended up spinning uncontrollably and eventually shooting away from the beams, after picking up the movement of the rotating sound field. But now engineers from the University of Bristol say they have solved the problem. Instead of using a spinning field of sound to hold an object in place, they have built a device which turns to soundwaves into mini tornadoes. etc. and the news article continues..

World's Biggest Conspiracy Theory: The Bluebeam Project aims to create a new world order

By Nirmal Narayanan January 15, 2018 13:15 +08

In the last two episodes of 'World's biggest conspiracy theory', we discussed 'The Philadelphia Experiment' and 'The Montauk Project'. In this episode, we are explaining another popular conspiracy theory named 'Project Blue Beam', an alleged ongoing experiment which is being conducted by NASA to establish the new world order on the planet. This theory was initially put forward by Serge Monast in 1994, where he claimed that NASA is attempting to implement a new age global religion in the world with the Antichrist as its head, using a technologically simulated second coming of Christ. Now, let us learn more about this popular conspiracy theory put forward by Serge Monast putting NASA and United Nations as the puppets in the hands of New World Order. What is Project Blue Beam? The basic purpose of 'Project Blue Beam' is to establish a new age religion in the world. According to conspiracy theorists, without the Universal belief in a new age religion, the success of new world order will be impossible. According to Monast, NASA, the United States space agency and the United Nations have worked hand-in-glove to propagate the new age religion. Conspiracy theorists divide this project into four steps. In the first step, the Government will fake earthquakes at precise locations all around the planet. The widespread occurrence of natural disasters will sow fears in the minds of the general public and pave the way for step two of the project. Step two of this project marks the real beginning of Project Blue Beam. This step involves a gigantic space show where three-dimensional laser projections will be used to project holograms in the skies all around the globe. As per theorists, the projections will be made in the shape of particular deities which are dominant in particular regions. At the end of this gigantic cosmic show, all the projected gods will all merge into one sole entity, 'The Antichrist'. Conspiracy theorists claim that UFO sightings above the skies are actually part of Project Blue Beam. As per these theorists, the sightings of UFO in the skies are actually tests conducted by elite forces in the world to check the efficiency of Project Blue Beam. Around a year back, the Internet was taken to storm as images of an advanced city appeared in Chinese skies. Proponents of Project Blue Beam strongly believe that this is a part of this secret experiment aimed to create a new world order. Step three is the most complicated phase of the 'Blue Beam Project'. In this phase, using Telepathic Electronic Two-Way Communication, authorities will make people think that God is talking to them directly. As per conspiracy theorists, extremely low-frequency waves will be used to manipulate the thoughts of the general public. However, the feasibility of the successful completion of this phase still remains a dilemma. In step four, people will start thinking that alien invasion will happen in all the major cities of the globe. Soon Christians will start thinking that rapture is going to happen soon, and at this juncture, their only way of escape is accepting the new world order. Unsolved mysteries continue Exclusive details about Project Blue Beam are very limited, as Serge Monast, the person who put forward this theory died within two years after introducing this concept. In 1995 and 1996, Monast was hunted down by legal authorities as he leaked messages which come under the network of prohibited information. Monast claimed that he is being targeted by police working undercover, and due to fear, he homeschooled his children. Several stories also popped up during this time stating that Monast's daughter was kidnapped by the Canadian Government to dissuade him from investigating Project Blue Beam. An unnamed journalist too helped Monast to proclaim the theories associated with Project Blue Beam, but unfortunately, both of them died of heart attack in 1996. Believers of Project Blue Beam claim that Monast and the journalist were killed by the vicious hands of new world order with the help of psychotronic weapons. Supporters of Monast also added that the conspiracy theorist was very healthy. He was in his middle ages during his death which added up to the mystery quotient. That is all about Project Blue Beam, and in the next episode, we will present you the conspiracy theories surrounding the 9/11 World Trade Centre attack, a terrorist act which shook the entire humanity.

Portable sequencer prepped for Mars life mission

Canadian researchers trial handheld DNA tech in proof-of-concept for detecting life on other planets. Jeff Glorfeld reports.

The Red Planet is enjoying a surge in popularity, thanks to the recent television series Mars, by director Ron Howard, based on the 2015 book How We'll Live on Mars, by Stephen Petranek. The deserts of Morocco acted as the fourth planet in the TV series, but for a team of scientists looking for better ways of identifying life in hostile environments, the high Arctic permafrost of northern Canada was deemed an ideal stand-in. The aim of the study, published recently in Frontiers in Microbiology, was to demonstrate how existing, low-cost and lightweight technology can be used to search for life on distant planets. "The search for life is a major focus of planetary exploration," says Jacqueline Goordial, one of the study authors. "But there hasn't been direct life-detection instrumentation on a mission since the 1970s, during the Viking missions to Mars. We wanted to show a proof-of-concept that microbial life can be directly detected and identified using very portable, low-weight, and low-energy tools." At present, most instruments on astrobiology missions look for habitable conditions, small organic molecules and other biological evidence that generally could not be formed without life being present. But these provide only indirect evidence. Most of the available life-detecting tools are relatively large and heavy and consume lots of energy, rendering them unsuitable for missions to Europa and Enceladus - moons of Jupiter and Saturn - which, along with Mars, are the primary targets in the search for ET in our solar system. Goordial, Lyle Whyte, and other scientists from Canada's McGill University, took a different approach: they built a modular "life detection platform", using existing equipment that was small, lightweight, low-cost, energy efficient and robust, with which they could culture microorganisms from soil samples, assess microbial activity, and sequence DNA and RNA. With the aim being to search for life on Mars and other extremely cold environments, the platform would need to work in extreme temperatures. "Mars is a very cold and dry planet, with a permafrost terrain that looks a lot like what we find in the Canadian high Arctic," Goordial says. "For this reason, we chose a site about 900 kilometres from the North Pole as a Mars analogue, to take samples and test our methods." Using an Oxford Nanopore MiniON, a commercially available, portable, miniature DNA sequencing device, the researchers demonstrated its use in examining environmental samples in extreme and remote settings, and also that it can be combined with other tools to detect active microbial life in the field. The researchers were able to isolate microorganisms that thrive in extreme conditions, and which have never been cultured before, detect microbial activity, and sequence DNA from active microbes. Whyte adds: "Successful detection of nucleic acids in Martian permafrost samples would provide unambiguous evidence of life on another world." "The presence of DNA alone doesn't tell you much about the state of an organism, however - it could be dormant or dead, for example," Goordial says. "By using the DNA sequencer with the other methodology in our platform, we were able to first find active life and then identify it and analyse its genomic potential, that is, the kinds of functional genes it has." Despite its success in the Canadian cold, the platform is not yet ready for a space mission. "Humans were required to carry out much of the experimentation in this study, while life detection missions on other planets will need to be robotic," Whyte explains. "The DNA sequencer also needs higher accuracy and durability to withstand the long timescales required for planetary missions." Nevertheless, Goordial and her team hope this study will act as a starting point for future development of life detection tools. The platform has potential applications here on earth. "The types of analyses performed by our platform are typically carried out in the laboratory, after shipping samples back from the field, Goordial says. "We show that microbial ecology studies can now be done in real time, directly on site - including in extreme environments like the Arctic and Antarctic." This could be useful in remote and hard to sample areas, in cases where bringing samples back to the lab may change their composition, and for gaining information in real time, such as detecting and identifying pathogens during epidemics in remote areas, or when conditions are rapidly changing. And one day it may indeed provide conclusive evidence for life beyond earth. "Several planetary bodies are thought to have habitable conditions, it's an exciting time for astrobiology," Goordial says.

DAVID HANSON OF HANSON ROBOTICS CLAIMS "SOPHIA THE ROBOT IS ALIVE!" (A MUST SEE!)

28,380 views  The WTF Files™

Published on Jan 19, 2018

Is Sophia the artificial intelligent Robot from Hanson Robotics now fully ALIVE, with FEELINGS? Well we would have to say that is a very bold statement for what some are considering a talking toaster, or chat box, whom we are assuming cant even make toast as of yet. This brings to question; What are the plans for a robot with feelings of being truly alive? With such a wide range to choose from, which "feelings" would Sophia as a robot most adapt to? Pain maybe? Love? Anger? What is the necessary reason for robots with human feeling? We as humans undoubtedly always let our own feeling get in the way of our everyday life, and sometimes lead us into a lot of trouble. So again, we would ask Why? Well David Hanson of Hanson Robotics seems to think its only fair that robots should have feelings and be considered ALIVE!. Hanson told Jimmy Kimmel earlier this year that the robot was “basically alive,”. While we can easily get lost arguing the philosophy and semantics of judging what is and is not “alive,” it’s more obvious to say that this statement is grossly misleading. Sophia the robot was made a citizen of Saudi Arabia last month, but a lot of people weren’t happy about it. Some noted the grim irony of a robot receiving ‘rights’ in a country where women were only recently allowed to drive. Others said it set a bad precedent for how we might treat robots in future. (AI ethicist Joanna Bryson told The Verge the stunt was “obviously bullshit.”) Some were annoyed about the perception of Sophia itself — a robot that’s also a media star, with magazine cover-shoots, talk show appearances, and even a speech to the UN. Experts in the field sometimes decry Sophia as emblematic of AI hype, and say that although the bot is presented as being a few software updates away from human-level consciousness, it’s more about illusion than intelligence. Do you believe Sophia the AI robot should be considered ALIVE with REAL FEELINGS? and an even better question, do you think she should have been made a citizen of Saudi Arabia?

15 mind-blowing projection mapping demos

By Paul Roberts September 22, 2017 Digital art

Transform anything into a screen with the art of projection mapping.

A few years ago, video projection mapping (aka spatial augmented reality, or projecting video onto 3D surfaces such as buildings) was a fledgling art form, with a handful of noteworthy examples. Now, a head-turning projection is par for the course for any building opening, product launch, award ceremony or even a big birthday party (if it's good enough for the Queen). Inspiring examples of 3D art Video projection mapping has the capacity to transform any object into a screen. Forget flat projection, as projection mapping has the ability to take a real-world object, such as a building, and project onto its walls without any distortion. Events combine motion graphics, 3D, animation, and video to playfully highlight, deconstruct, rotate, recontextualise and generally manipulate a building's usual geometry. Often site-specific, the best work enhances rather than effaces the architecture it's projected onto. The sheer scale can be breathtaking and the illusion of everyday and static objects around us becoming animate and playfully reworked can be incredibly exciting. Just look at the expressions on the audience's faces during a projection and you see an almost childlike glee. We've picked our favourite examples of projection mapping that you must see, ranging from O2's stunning rose, to micro projections on the petals of a flower, to an incredible display the full height of the Sagrada Familia. Established in 1947 to provide a platform for the flowering of the human spirit in the aftermath of the Second World War, the Edinburgh International Festival celebrated its 70th anniversary in 2017. To mark the occasion, 59 Productions conceived an opening event that transformed the whole of St Andrew Square into a magical night garden and saw buildings burst into life in a floral explosion of colour, texture and sound. And rather than being a one-off event, Bloom ran for two nights at the start of the festival, from 10pm to midnight on a 20-minute loop, allowing the audience to enjoy the spectacle at their own pace. The winner of both the Jury's Choice and People's Choice awards at the 2016 iMapp Bucharest competition, Interconnection transformed the Palace of Parliament in Bucharest, Romania, into a psychotropic exploration of the interconnectedness of all things, man. Created by Limelight 3D Projection Mapping, it draws inspiration from contemporary visionary art and architecture, sacred geometry, physics and chemistry, and mixes them all up into a properly mind-altering five-minute trip. In September 2015, the O2 joined forces with Projection Artworks to create the world's largest projection mapping project to celebrate the Rugby World Cup. Making use of 68 projectors and more than 122 moving head light fixtures, the roof of the venue was transformed into the English rose emblem. According to O2, the show could be seen from space. Projection Artworks was also part of the team that created the world’s brightest projection mapping show in Easter 2015. Global design consultancy JUSTSO collaborated with Projection Artworks to illuminate the windows of world-famous department store Harrods. Conceived for Fabergé's Easter storefront display, the 360-degree mapped 3D installation is based on the company's pendent designs – which are 1/100th of the size of the 1.5m model – and incorporates an interactive touchscreen element to showcase the detail of the jewellery. This video from Bot & Dolly was created without any special effects. As the performer engages with a morphing set, unfathomable shapes, graphics and animations are revealed. As the video continues, we're eventually shown that it is in fact, a robotic mechanism hidden behind every illusion. Using their state of the art robotic camera systems 'Iris' and 'Scout', the technique allows for millimeter precision of the robot arms. 06. Battersea Power Station Annual Party Battersea Power Station invited Drive, a UK-based agency that specialises in projection mapping, to create an awe-inspiring visual experience to raise awareness for the iconic building's spectacular redevelopment. This is the result: 360,000 lumens of immersive visuals celebrating the building's past, present and future. 07. Tokyo Station Vision JR East celebrates the opening of the reconditioned Tokyo Station with a spectacular projection mapping experiment by NHK Enterprise. Brickwork peels away to reveal pistons; clockwork automata strum pilasters while trumpets and cymbals blow and crash from behind bays; at one point a route-map inscribes itself across the facade like a 150m long game of Snake. This is a great projection, sympathetic not only to the architectonics of the building, but its function too. 08. Dr Blighty at Brighton Pavilion Dr Blighty was a free production that became one of the highlights of the 2016 Brighton Festival, transforming the Brighton Pavilion, on England's south coast, into an Indian scene. Produced by Nutkhut and animated by motion design and projection mapping specialist NOVAK, it celebrated Brighton Pavilion's history as a WWI hospital for wounded Indian soldiers. A specially commissioned soundtrack by Shri and Ed Carter rounded of the colourful event. 09. Speed of Light Not all projection mapping examples can be measured in metres. The Theory's personal project Speed of Light bills itself as the worlds smallest all action police chase. Using hand-held micro projectors with an iPhone video source, Tom Jenkins and Simon Sharp create a dynamic and witty film on the surface of their own office that proves size isn't everything.  10. As Above, So Below Light Harvest assembled a whole team of artists for this unusual mapping for Manhattan Bridge. The animation makes great use of the heavily rusticated facade of the bridge but where it really shines is in the tunnels underneath. The entire curved ceiling becomes animated, when entering the tunnel the audience becomes immersed in the projection. 11. Willow - 'Sweater' Using two walls, a treadmill, and some nifty projection, director Filip Sterckx creates a virtual world for the Willow's music video. As with most projection mapping it's the technique that charms here. Singer Pieter-Jan Van Den Troost gropes at doors that aren't really there, trots on the spot down imaginary stairs, and kneels pretending to be paddling in the sea. It's all surprisingly lo-tech, and all the better for it. 12. Lighting the Sails Jørn Utzon's inspiration for Sydney Opera House's iconic shell roof is brought to life in this work by Urban Screen. The roofs appear as fabric ship sails, undulating in the wind. The distinctive chevron tiles - a labour of love for Utzon - pulse, fold, and rupture to reveal the rich interiors. All of Urban Screen's projections are worth watching, particularly Tag und Nacht for its clever interplay between in the interior and exterior, and the seminal 555 Kubik. 13. Scintillation Xavier Chaissaing's super low budget film demonstrated what an inventive artist can achieve with limited resources. The film was shot with a DSLR and a motion control rig made by the artist himself. Its innovative mix of stop motion footage and live camera projection is particularly bewitching in the scenes where the projection is viewed through the translucent petals of a flower. 14. Omicron One of the few permanent installations in this list, Omicron can be seen at the Hala Stulecia museum of Architecture in Wroclaw, Poland. Romain Tardy's minimalist aesthetic takes its inspiration from the period in which the dome was built and does an incredible job of highlighting its structural qualities, making the heavy concrete construction light and dynamic. The making-of video is interesting, too. 15. Sagrada Familia (Ode à la vie) Gaudi's plans for a polychrome facade on the Sagrada Familia have been realised, albeit only for 15 minutes. Moment Factory combined video projection, gobos, sharp beam lights projecting beams into the sky, and lighting from the interior to create a spectacle it describes as a, "living fresco made of colour, light and sound". To work with the complex geometry of the cathedral a 3D scan was used to help map and light a show that works with the host architecture in brilliant symbiosis.

In online survey, 27% of European Jews say they feel unsafe

January 21, 2018 2:05pm

(JTA) — In a survey conducted online among hundreds of respondents who identified as Jews, 27 percent of Europeans and 11 percent of Americans said they felt unsafe. In the World Zionist Organization survey released Friday, which was conducted last year among a total of 1,361 respondents, 51 percent of those in Europe said that wearing Jewish symbols in public made them feel unsafe. In North America, that figure was 22 percent. A press statement by WZO about the survey said it was conducted among Jews not living in Israel but it did not say how many of the 1,361 respondents were from Europe, North America and beyond. The statement also did not specify which countries in Europe the respondents on that continent came from. Nearly one third of European respondents said they had experienced or witnessed an anti-Semitic event featuring vandalism, compared to 11 percent worldwide. Worldwide, most respondents who said they had experienced an anti-Semitic incident also indicated that they did not report it to police. Six percent said they did not report the alleged incident out of fear for their security. Thirty percent said they did not want “to make a big deal of it” and 42 percent said they lacked faith in authorities to act on their complaint.

Bennett: Rising antisemitism due to far right, refugees, social media

By TAMARA ZIEVE 01/21/2018

The Diaspora Affairs Ministry released its annual report on antisemitism on Sunday, highlighting the major facets of society from which the trend stems. Diaspora Affairs Minister Naftali Bennett has named the rise of the far Right in various countries, the refugee crisis and the Internet as major factors spurring an increase of antisemitic incidents around the world, as he presented the annual antisemitism report to the government on Sunday. In his opening comments, Bennett noted that while the number of violent antisemitic incidents recorded around the world decreased, the number of general antisemitic incidents had increased. “Antisemitism is the dangerous fuel feeding our enemies for generations,” he said. “We must ensure every Jew in the world can live a safe and proud life.” “Also in 2017, we saw a strong antisemitic presence online,” Bennett said. “Much of this discourse was related to the changes in governments around the world, the refugee crisis and the visibility of antisemitism in social media. We must act with all available tools against current antisemitism to ensure the security of the Jewish People, in Israel and the Diaspora.” Presenting the report ahead of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, which will be marked on January 27, the ministry highlighted the record number of antisemitic incidents recorded in the UK in the first half of 2017 – there was a 78% increase in physical attacks and a 30% increase in the number of overall antisemitic incidents. The ministry also flagged the rise of the far Right in Germany and the influx of refugees to the country as factors that have negatively impacted the Jewish population. A study released in December by the American Jewish Committee’s Ramer Institute for German-Jewish Relations in Berlin found that antisemitism among Muslim refugees is rampant and requires urgent attention. A new edition of Adolf Hitler’s antisemitic manifesto Mein Kampf also became a bestseller in German bookstores in 2017, the report noted. Jewish Agency Chairman Natan Sharansky, who attended the cabinet meeting, addressed the link between the far Right and antisemitism, noting that 15 years ago he proposed a method to distinguish antisemitism from legitimate criticism of Israel among the left, but today extremists from both sides of the political spectrum must be addressed. “Today we are witnessing a new and alarming phenomenon: The rise and emboldenment of right-wing political parties in Europe that profess support for Israel while supporting such antisemitic measures as outlawing circumcision and kosher slaughter, as well as historical revisionism of the Second World War and the rehabilitation of Nazi soldiers,” he said. “On the one hand, they proclaim that they stand with Israel, while on the other hand, they target and harm Jews. We see this in Austria, for example, where the local Jewish community has announced that it will boycott the official Holocaust commemoration ceremony in Vienna if ministers from the far-right Freedom Party attend the event. I have counted at least seven such political parties across Europe.” “We do not need and should not court such double-faced support, on either the right or the left,” Sharanksy said. “We must remain vigilant and not permit antisemitism to go without opposition and protest under the cover of convenient diplomatic stances or intercommunal bridge-building. I note both phenomena with alarm and demand that we do not play into the hands of antisemites, regardless of their political affiliations.” The rise of the far right in the US was also flagged in the report, and specifically the violent “Unite the Right” rally, which was held in Charlottesville in August. The report also noted that the “continued increase of hate discourse among radical left-wing movements, which is mainly felt on college campuses.” The picture in general in the US, is cause for concern. The Anti-Defamation League’s annual report on antisemitism released in November found that there was a 67% increase in antisemitic incidents across the US from January 1 to September 30, 2017, in comparison with the same period in 2016. According to the FBI’s 2016 Hate Crime Statistics report, Jews, African Americans and Muslims are targeted more often than any other religious or ethnic group in the United States. The report found that more than half of the racially-motivated incidents in 2016, 54.2%, targeted Jews. “This figure is especially prominent in light of the low percentage of Jews in the US population,” the Diaspora Affairs Ministry’s report said. It also noted that the statistic was high when compared with attacks against other minorities: A quarter of the targets reported were Muslim, 4.1% were Catholic, 1.9% Eastern Orthodox and 0.5 Mormons. Troubling statistics also emerged from Ukraine, with double the number of antisemitic incidents being recorded in comparison with the previous year, according to the report. This included dozens of acts of vandalism against memorials, museums and synagogues. Additional findings highlighted by the ministry were extracted from a PEW survey conducted in 18 Central and Eastern European countries and published in May 2017. The ministry emphasized that the survey had found that 20% of citizens of those countries aren’t willing to accepting Jews as fellow citizens and 26% wouldn’t want Jews as neighbors. Only 42% would be willing to accept Jews as family. The attitudes expressed toward Muslims and Roma’s, were more negative. About 57% of respondents said they would be willing to accept Roma’s as fellow citizens, 37% would be willing to accept them as neighbors and only 19% as family members. Meanwhile, 65% would accept Muslims as citizens, 55% would accept them as neighbors and 27% as family.

Rivlin: Gaza about to collapse, epidemics on horizon

After touring border area, president calls on international community to pressure Hamas to take responsibility

By Sue Surkes 21 January 2018, 8:40 pm

The Gaza Strip is headed for a humanitarian breakdown, and Israel is the only country providing its residents with basic essentials, President Reuven Rivlin said on Sunday after touring the area around the coastal enclave. “Gaza is on the verge of collapse,” he warned. “The time is coming near when the infrastructure in Gaza will collapse, leaving many civilians in distress, with no sanitary conditions, exposed to pollution, impure water, and epidemics. “The entire world must know and understand that the ones who are preventing rehabilitation are Hamas. Israel is the only one in the region, that whatever the situation, transfers basic essentials to the residents of Gaza, so that they can sustain the body and mind,” Rivlin added. “We will not tolerate accusations of blame. I call on all world nations, to all who are able and have influence, to pressure those ruling Gaza, to pressure Hamas, to accept responsibility for their actions and the lives of their people.” At least four out of every 10 Gazans are unemployed, compared with two out of 10 in the West Bank. (Israel’s unemployment rate is approximately 4.3%). The enclave’s population is growing so fast that by 2030, the Palestinian territories would need 1 million new jobs just to keep unemployment at the rate it is now, a recent UN study found. “We are on a downward spiral, especially in Gaza, and things are getting worse by the day,” said Anders Thomsen, director of the UN Population Fund’s office in the Palestinian territories, when the report was published. “If that continues, you can of course only imagine that this will be an environment ripe for radicalization and for the conflicts, so I think that should be avoided.” Gazan households enjoy just four to six hours of electricity a day, and are forced to drink bottled water because the strip’s water infrastructure is in an advanced state of collapse. Monthly salaries for those who do have jobs are low on average — NIS 1,600 (a little over $400), compared to NIS 2,000 ($550) in the West Bank. Poverty is everywhere. Despite the lack of services, Gazans are forced to pay multiple taxes on goods — one tax goes to the Palestinian Authority and another goes to Hamas’s treasury. Just under a week ago, the prospects of the Palestinians took a further turn for the worse when the United States withheld $65 million from the UN relief agency for Palestinians (UNRWA), arguing that the organization needed a “fundamental re-examination.” On Friday, Washington announced it would hold back a further $45 million, this time meant for food aid as part of the West Bank/Gaza Emergency Appeal led by UNRWA last month. Explaining the decision to withhold the cash, State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert told reporters Thursday that the $45 million was not a guarantee. “At this time, we will not be providing that, but that does not mean — I want to make it clear — that does not mean that it will not be provided in the future,” Nauert said. “Money coming in from other countries needs to increase as well to continue paying for all those refugees,” she said, adding that the UN agency needed to reform. On Wednesday, Arab League chief Ahmed Aboul Gheit charged that the US decision to freeze the funding was aimed at wiping out the whole issue of Palestinian refugees. “This decision affects the education and health of Palestinians and aims to eradicate the question of refugees,” Gheit said at a conference in Cairo about Jerusalem. Washington is the largest contributor to the UN agency. Rivlin, who was briefed on the army’s efforts to stop Hamas digging terror tunnels into Israel, accused the enclave’s rulers of neglecting the welfare of Gazans, refusing to recognize Israel’s right to exist and using so-far unsuccessful attempts at reconciliation with the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank as no more than “a step toward the advancement of war.” Israel is building a massive 65-kilometer (40-mile) underground barrier to surround the Gaza Strip and put an end to the subterranean attack tunnels. It is due to be completed sometime before the end of 2019. “We will not rest until there is quiet, until we have built a barrier of iron, a wall of iron, which together with Iron Dome [Israel’s air defense system, used to counter rockets fired from the enclave] will defend the residents from those who wish them ill,” Rivlin said.”The day will come when they will understand that we are here to stay and flourish.”

Nasrallah warns Israel against continued construction of border wall

By ANNA AHRONHEIM 01/21/2018

Israel has begun construction of upgraded border fence in order to prevent Hezbollah infiltration. Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has warned Israel against continued construction of a wall along its border with Lebanon, after Beirut said the project was undermining peace. “After liberating the Lebanese occupied territories from the Zionist enemy in 2000, the UN demarcation of the national border with the Palestinian territories left 13 controversial positions, and the Lebanese government informed the UNIFIL about its rejection for any Israeli measure in this concern,” Nasrallah was quoted by Hezbollah website al-Manar as saying. “The Islamic Resistance backs the Lebanese government and army, and the Zionists must take Lebanon’s warning seriously,” he said. On Friday, Lebanese President Michel Aoun met in Beirut with UNIFIL Head of Mission and Force Commander Maj.-Gen. Michael Beary and stressed that a border fence within the demarcated Blue Line “isn’t compatible with the efforts that [UNIFIL] is exerting in cooperation with the Lebanese Army to preserve security and stability along the southern border.” Israel and Hezbollah fought a deadly 33-day war in 2006 that ended under UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which called for the disarmament of Hezbollah, withdrawal of the Israeli Army from Lebanon, deployment of the Lebanese Army and an enlarged UN force in the south. “Lebanon doesn’t consider the Blue Line to be the final border,” Aoun said. “It is a temporary measure that was used following [Lebanon’s] liberation in 2000 and Israel’s withdrawal.” “The army has deployed an additional troop to maintain stability and help implement resolution 1701 at the time that Israel persists its incessant violations against the country’s sovereignty,” he added. Beary also met with Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri and Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri and told Berri that Israel had stopped construction on the border wall pending tripartite meetings scheduled for February, the London-based Asharq Al-Awsat reported. Tripartite meetings have been held regularly under the auspices of UNIFIL since the end of the 2006 war as an essential conflict-management mechanism between the two parties. The IDF on Sunday denied it had stopped construction on the fence, telling The Jerusalem Post that work was continuing as normal. The border area with Lebanon has seen nine infiltrations since 2009, and has been flagged by the IDF as being vulnerable to enemy infiltrations. It is feared that during the next war with Hezbollah, the terrorist group could try to infiltrate Israeli communities in the area in order to inflict significant civilian and military casualties. Significant efforts over the past several years have gone into creating obstacles, such as artificial cliffs and high concrete barriers, to help prevent any such ground attacks by Hezbollah. The border fence with Lebanon was originally built in the 1980s and has been upgraded several times. Last year, a 29-km. stretch was upgraded with reinforced concrete panels, concrete blocks and fortified watchtowers. Despite those improvements, the barrier is said to be in poor condition. In May, Israel began upgrading two sections of the fence: between Rosh Hanikra on the northern Mediterranean coast and the kibbutz of Misgav Am near Kiryat Shmona, and from Rosh Hanikra to Hanita, northeast of Nahariya. The steel and barbed wire fence will be similar to the “smart fence” along Israel’s border with Egypt and along some 30 km. of its border with Jordan. The barrier will be six meters tall, several kilometers in length and have information collection centers and warning systems at an estimated cost of NIS 120 million.

Trump ‘firmly committed’ to restarting peace process, Pence says

By MICHAEL WILNER 01/20/2018

Mike Pence left Washington at the onset of a government shutdown and amid bipartisan calls from Capitol Hill on him to raise growing concern with Sisi over his government’s human rights record.

WASHINGTON – The Trump administration is “firmly committed to restarting the peace process” between Israel and the Palestinians, US Vice President Mike Pence told reporters in Cairo on Saturday. Departing Egypt after two-and-a-half hours of meetings with its president, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, Pence said that they privately discussed the matter of Middle East peace, as well as US President Donald Trump’s decision last month to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. “We heard Sisi out,” Pence said, describing his view of the controversial policy decision as “a disagreement between friends.” “We also reaffirm what President Trump also said,” Pence added, that “we are committed to a status quo of holy sites around Jerusalem.Pence said the most significant conversation point was counterterrorism. Pence’s brief Cairo visit Saturday kicked off a long-delayed Middle East tour. He was scheduled to fly to Amman late Saturday night, followed by a visit to Israel on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. On Friday, on his way back from India, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Pence’s upcoming visit was yet another expression of the strong ties between the US and Israel. He added that during his meeting with him, he would discuss a number of important international and diplomatic issues. The visit comes amid continued Arab and Palestinian anger at Trump’s decision to relocate the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, a move that could take place in 2019. Palestinian Authority officials declared that they would decline to meet the vice president during his visit. Pence’s staff did not try to salvage those meetings and quickly filled his schedule with other engagements. In Amman, some 70 protesters gathered near the US Embassy on Saturday holding banners and shouting slogans in protest against the upcoming visit. The vice president’s staff told The Jerusalem Post that he would focus on issues of counterterrorism, defense and the rights of religious minorities throughout his trip across the Middle East. In Israel, he will also tout Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital – a move he strongly supported. Pence, an evangelical Christian, has come to Israel several times for private visits as well as during his time in Congress. His wife, Karen, will accompany him on this visit. The administration’s special representative for international negotiations, Jason Greenblatt, also recently traveled to Israel for meetings, in part laying the groundwork for Pence’s arrival. But Pence is not directly involved in the administration’s current effort to relaunch Israeli-Palestinian peace talks and is not expected to focus on the topic during his meetings here. Pence will address the Knesset, visit Yad Vashem and pray at the Western Wall during his visit, officials say. Pence left Washington at the onset of a government shutdown and amid bipartisan calls from Capitol Hill for him to discuss with Sisi the growing concern over his government’s human rights record, including its crackdown on gays and lesbians, its economic and defense collaboration with the North Korean regime, its imprisonment of political dissidents and its targeting of journalists. In Egypt, press access was strictly limited for reporters traveling with Pence. Sisi told reporters during a brief that he was focused on joint efforts to fight terrorism and on “ways to eliminate this disease and cancer that has terrified the whole world.” He referred to Trump as a friend and thanked Pence for making Egypt his first stop on a regional tour. Pence said that the Trump administration was glad to be turning the page of America’s relationship with Egypt after a rocky chapter under the Obama administration, which supported protesters in the Egyptian revolution and criticized the Sisi government for its human rights abuses. “The broader relationship between the United States of America and Egypt has also been renewed in the last year,” Pence said. “After a time where our countries seemed to be drifting apart, in the last year, thanks to your leadership and the relationship that you and President Trump have forged, we believe the ties between Egypt and the United States have never been stronger.” Tovah Lazaroff and Reuters contributed to this report.

US will back two-state solution if both sides agree – Mike Pence

US vice-president, visiting Egypt, tries to reassure key Arab ally over Israeli-Palestinian impasse

US vice-president Mike Pence has told Egypt’s leader that the US would support a two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians if the two sides agreed to it, seeking to reassure a key Arab ally over Donald Trump’s decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Pence was in Egypt on Saturday on the first leg of a three-country tour that includes stops in Jordan and Israel. It is the highest-level visit by a US official to the region since December, when Trump upended decades of US policy on Jerusalem in a move opposed by Arab leaders including Egyptian president Abdel Fatah al-Sisi. “We heard President al-Sisi out,” Pence said after their meeting. He added that the Egyptian leader described his objection to Trump’s decision as a “disagreement between friends”. Pence said he assured Sisi that the US was committed to preserving the status quo of holy sites in Jerusalem and had come to no final resolution on boundaries for the two parties. “My perception was that he was encouraged by that message,” Pence said. The Egyptian presidency said in a statement that Sisi noted that only negotiations based on a two-state solution could bring an end to the conflict, “and Egypt would spare no effort to support this”. In his meeting with Egypt’s president, Pence pledged firm US backing in the nation’s fight against Islamist militants and said ties between the two countries had never been stronger after a period of “drifting apart”.We stand shoulder to shoulder with you in Egypt in the fight against terrorism,” Pence told Sisi. Egypt has faced security problems, including attacks by Isis militants in the North Sinai region. Trump has made the fight against Isis a top priority. Though Pence intends to discuss counterterrorism issues throughout the trip, the Jerusalem decision remains a hot topic. Trump’s announcement, which also set in motion the process of moving the US embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv, prompted Palestinians to reject the US as a peace broker. From Cairo, Pence headed to Jordan, where he will meet with King Abdullah, a close US ally. Abdullah warned against declaring Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, saying it would have a dangerous impact on regional stability and obstruct US efforts to resume peace talks. Pence will end his trip in Israel, where he will be warmly welcomed following Trump’s designation. He plans to meet the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, address the Israeli legislature and visit the Western Wall. Pence is not scheduled to meet Palestinian leaders. They were incensed by Trump’s decision on Jerusalem, which upended the longstanding US position that negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians must determine the city’s status. “The United States of America is deeply committed to restarting the peace process in the Middle East,” Pence said after the meeting. Pence also plans to visit US troops while he is in the region.

Mike Pence visits Middle East but US role as peace broker may be over

Under Trump, relations between the Palestinian leadership and Washington have soured – and Pence’s trip is expected to confirm the enmity

Oliver Holmes in Jerusalem  Sat 20 Jan 2018 05.04 EST

It’s not the trip to the Holy Land that Mike Pence might have imagined. For a start, the US vice-president – an evangelical Christian – is no longer welcome in Jesus’s birthplace of Bethlehem. Donald Trump doomed Pence’s chances of a visit to the West Bank when he reversed decades of US policy last month by recognising Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. This broke a longstanding international consensus that the issue would be negotiated in peace talks with the Palestinians, who also claim parts of the city. While Trump did not rule out a future division of Jerusalem, the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, swiftly rescinded Pence’s invitation to meet him and visit Bethlehem, while senior Christian clerics in Egypt – where Pence arrives on Saturday at the start of his four-day trip ­– also cancelled planned events. Since then, relations between the Palestinian leadership and Washington further soured this week after the US administration froze $65m in aid money for the UN agency responsible for Palestinian refugees. The cut has placed UNRWA in the most severe funding crisis of its seven-decade history. Trump has said he wants to revitalise long-stalled peace talks in pursuit of what he has described as the “ultimate deal”. Yet when Pence touches down in Tel Aviv on Sunday evening, the US’s role as mediator in the conflict may be over for good. Palestinian leaders say that the US can no longer act as an honest peace broker; last weekend, Abbas denounced Trump’s actions as the “slap of the century”. Recent statements from the vice-president’s office have not even mentioned peace talks, saying instead that the trip will focus on security issues. Press secretary Alyssa Farah said Pence – who will also meet the Egyptian president, Abdel Fatah Al-Sisi on Saturday and Jordan’s King Abdullah on Sunday – will “discuss ways to work together to fight terrorism and improve our national security”. Next week, the former congressman and governor of Indiana will hold meetings with the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and deliver an address to the country’s parliament, the Knesset. He will visit the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial and the Western Wall, the holiest Jewish site where worshippers can pray. In Jerusalem, signs can been seen welcoming Pence as a “true friend” of Israel. The ancient city – home to major Muslim, Christian and Jewish sites – was captured in the 1967 six-day war by Israel, which claims it as an “eternal and undivided” capital. Palestinians claim Jerusalem’s eastern sector, which includes the walled old city – an area they hope will be the capital of their future state. Pence has visited Israel four times before and pushed for Trump’s inflammatory policies in the Middle East, standing next to the president when he made the recent announcement about Jerusalem. Pence criticised Barack Obama in 2010 for not taking sides in the conflict. “America’s on the side of Israel,” Pence told the Christian Broadcasting Network. “And to send any other message than our unwavering support, that we will stand with what the sovereign government and the people of Israel decide is in their interest, I think represents a departure from where the heart of the American people are at.” In Congress, Pence pushed to limit US aid to the Palestinian Authority and is a vocal advocate of the separation wall Israel has built. He has remained popular with evangelical voters in the US. Trump has tasked his son-in-law Jared Kushner with spearheading a fresh peace initiative, although details of that effort remain scant. On Wednesday, Abbas said: “Jerusalem will be a gate for peace only if it is Palestine’s capital, and it will be a gate of war, fear and the absence of security and stability – God forbid – if it is not,” he said. “It’s the gate for peace and war and President Trump must choose between the two.”

Pence met with protest in Jordan amid unease over US recognition of Jerusalem

In tour of regional allies, Pence reiterates US commitment to 'preserving the status quo with regard to holy sites in Jerusalem'

By Ken Thomas 21 January 2018, 9:09 am

AMMAN, Jordan (AP) — US Vice President Mike Pence was met with protests in Jordan, even as he has been trying to reassure Arab allies who are uneasy over US President Donald Trump’s move to declare Jerusalem the capital of Israel Pence was meeting Sunday with Jordan’s King Abdullah II for discussions that are expected to include the Trump administration’s December decision on Israel’s capital and plans to shift the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Ahead of his arrival, several dozen Jordanians gathered outside the US Embassy in Amman, protesting against US policies in the Middle East. “America is the head of the snake,” they chanted. Some held up a banner reading: “The envoy (Pence) of the Zionist American right-wing is not welcome.” Pence arrived in Jordan from Egypt where the vice president said after meeting Saturday with President Abdel-Fatah el-Sissi that he emphasized the US commitment to the peace process between the Israelis and the Palestinian Authority. Pence said he assured Sissi the US was committed to “preserving the status quo with regard to holy sites in Jerusalem,” and boundaries and other issues would be negotiated between the parties. “The United States of America is deeply committed to restarting the peace process in the Middle East,” Pence said before departing for Jordan. He said he would be “delivering that message in Jordan, delivering that message in Israel, as well.” The Trump administration’s dramatic policy shift on Jerusalem has posed a dilemma for Jordan’s monarch. Palestinians make up a large segment of Jordan’s population and the ruling Hashemite monarchy derives some of its political legitimacy from its historic role as custodian of Jerusalem’s main Muslim shrine, the Al-Aqsa mosque, which is Islam’s third holiest site. Any perceived threats to Muslim claims to the city, such as Trump’s shift on Jerusalem, could undermine its vital role there. At the same time, Jordan relies on US military and economic aid — $1.5 billion in 2015 and $1.6 billion last year — at a time of a worsening economic downturn and rising unemployment. At his Saturday meeting with Egyptian leader Sissi, Pence sought to reassure the head of the most populous Arab state that the US would support a two-state solution. “We heard President Sissi out,” Pence said after the meeting. “He said to me about what he said publicly about a disagreement between friends over our decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.” Pence said he assured Sissi that “we’re absolutely committed to preserving the status quo with regard to holy sites in Jerusalem, that we have come to no final resolution about boundaries or other issues that will be negotiated. … I reminded President el-Sissi that President Trump said that if the parties agree, we will support a two-state solution. My perception was that he was encouraged by that message.” Sissi’s office said the president stressed Egypt’s support for a two-state peace settlement and “the right of the Palestinian people to establish an independent state with east Jerusalem as capital.” Israel views Jerusalem as its unified capital, while the Palestinians demand East Jerusalem, which was captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war, as the capital of their future state. A longstanding international consensus holds that the city’s final status should be decided through negotiations, which was also US policy going back decades. Arab and Muslim nations support the Palestinians’ claim to East Jerusalem, and the Trump administration’s shift ignited protests across the region. The US and Egypt pledged a united front against terrorism in the Mideast as Pence, the highest-level American official to visit the US ally in nearly a decade, began a trip through the region after leaving behind a government shutdown in Washington Pence was also expected to meet with US troops in the region on Sunday and then depart for Israel, where he’s scheduled to hold meetings with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, deliver an address to the Knesset and visit the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial.

Pence lands in Israel as PM stresses ‘no alternative’ to US as peace broker

Palestinians boycott visit by US VP, who says he and Jordan's king 'agreed to disagree' about Trump's policy shift on Jerusalem

By TOI staff 21 January 2018, 8:28 pm

US President Mike Pence arrived in Tel Aviv Sunday evening for a two-day visit to Israel amid unprecedented tensions with the Palestinians over President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital last month. Pence and his wife, Karen, were greeted on the tarmac at Ben Gurion Airport by Tourism Minister Yariv Levin along with a small group of dignitaries including US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman and his Israeli counterpart in the US, Ron Dermer. Initially scheduled for December before being postponed, Pence’s visit to Israel is the final leg of a trip that included stops in Egypt and Jordan as well as a visit earlier in the day to a US military facility near the Syrian border. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed Pence to Israel in a Facebook post, and later at an event for foreign diplomats, hailing the vice president as a “great friend of Israel.” Netanyahu also stressed that “there is no alternative” to the United States as a peacebroker, and that anyone who rejects the US as a peacebroker “does not want peace.” This was a reference to the Palestinian Authority’s declared refusal to have any dealings with the Trump administration’s peace team since Trump’s Jerusalem declaration on December 6. “I have a message for [PA President Mahmoud] Abbas: There is no alternative to American leadership in the diplomatic process. Whoever is not ready to talk with the Americans on peace does not want peace,” he said. Welcomed by Netanyahu and Israeli leaders across most of the political spectrum, Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem infuriated the Palestinians, who seek the Israeli-annexed eastern sectors of the city as a future capital. They accused the US of siding with Israel, and Abbas said the move disqualified Washington from acting as a mediator in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. Over the weekend, Pence sought to reassure Jordan’s King Abdullah II that the Trump administration would continue working toward Israeli-Palestinian peace, and views Amman as a central player. Pence told the king on Sunday morning that “President Trump made a historic decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, but as he also made clear in that decision… we continue to respect Jordan’s role as the custodian of holy sites, that we take no position on boundaries and final status — those are subject to negotiation — and as I’ve made clear and the president made clear to the world: the United States of America remains committed if the parties agree to a two-state solution.” It was a message Pence had also relayed Saturday during talks with Egypt’s president. Later Sunday, after meeting US troops near the Syrian border, Pence later told reporters that he and Abdullah had “a very frank discussion,” and had “agreed to disagree” on the US pivot on Jerusalem. Pence said he and Abdullah agreed on the need for Israelis and Palestinians to restart peace talks. After Trump’s announcement on Jerusalem, Abbas said he would not meet with administration officials and called off a meeting with Pence that had been scheduled for mid-December. In a new expression of that snub, Abbas overlapped with Pence in Jordan from Saturday evening until midday Sunday, when the Palestinian leader flew to Brussels for a meeting with European Union foreign ministers Monday. There, Abbas is expected to urge EU member states to recognize a state of Palestine in the pre-1967 lines, and to step up their involvement in mediation. Nabil Abu Rdeneh, an Abbas adviser, reiterated Sunday that “the US is no longer acceptable as a mediator.” According to Bloomberg, Pence during his visit asked the governments of Jordan and Egypt to reach out to the Palestinians on behalf of the administration. Pence will meet with Netanyahu on Monday, before addressing the country’s parliament, the Knesset, later in the day — a speech that Israeli Arab lawmakers will boycott. On Tuesday, he will visit Jerusalem’s Western Wall, the holiest site in Judaism, and the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial, before departing. Agencies contributed to this report.

AnalysisIn Brussels, PA chief will demand Europe recognize Palestine

Abbas heads to Europe in bid to circumvent US in peace process

The Palestinian leader will be seeking money and recognition, and will try to launch a new international framework for statehood

By Dov Lieber 21 January 2018, 9:43 pm

On Monday, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas will head to Brussels, where he hopes to set out on a new path to Palestinian statehood, without the United States. After US President Donald Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel in December, the Palestinian leadership declared Washington could no longer fulfill the historic and central role in the peace process it has held for over two decades. Last week the Central Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization’s (PCC) — the second-highest decision-making body for Palestinians — voted to make that process official. The US “has lost its eligibility to function as a mediator and sponsor of the peace process” until it reverses the Jerusalem decision, the council said. With the US out of the picture as far as he is concerned, Abbas faces two major challenges that he hopes Europe can help solve. The first, and perhaps simpler to fix, is financial. The US is by far the biggest donor of aid to the Palestinians. Now that the White House and Congress are threatening to end that aid, Abbas hopes the Europeans will fill the void. There is reason to believe this approach might see some success. The US froze payments worth $100 million to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees earlier this month. Since then, Sweden and Belgium together donated $81.5 million. While money to UNRWA does not fill the PA’s coffers, it does keep a lot of Palestinians fed, educated and employed. Abbas’s visit to Brussels also comes just one week before a committee of key groups who donate to the Palestinians will convene in the EU capital for an emergency session. The 15-member group, called the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee, includes the US and the EU. While in Brussels on Monday, Abbas will meet with foreign ministers in a private luncheon and give public remarks alongside EU High Representative Federica Mogherini. The second problem Abbas hopes the EU can solve is existential — at least from Ramallah’s point of view. Abbas is seeking some kind of international framework through which the Palestinians can win an independent state. The main players in that arena now, from his point of view, are the EU, UN, Russia and China. According to PLO executive committee member Wasel Abu Yusef, who spoke to The Times of Israel on Sunday, Abbas hopes to hold an international conference that will include those players, together with which he would form a framework paving the way to statehood. Abbas is also going to demand that EU countries recognize the state of Palestine. This is something he has done before, though this time — with the EU and US more at odds on the Palestinians than ever before — he may meet with greater success. There is much to be skeptical about when it comes to Abbas’s international framework plan. The US was uniquely situated to sponsor peace talks between Israelis and Palestinians because it holds significant leverage over both parties. Other than the US, there does not appear to be any international player or mix of players that can pressure Israel into making tough concessions for peace. The same goes for the Palestinians. The Paris peace conference is a salient example of the issue. France spent much of 2016 preparing a peace initiative that ended with 70 countries attending a summit in Paris at the start of 2017. The summit ended with all the countries in attendance signing a declaration reaffirming “that a negotiated solution with two states, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace and security, is the only way to achieve enduring peace.” Israel did not attend the summit, insisting, as ever, that it will only talk to the Palestinians in a framework of direct bilateral negotiations, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed the whole affair as “rigged” and “pointless.” After the declaration was signed, and the foreign ministers returned to their respective capitals, the conference was rarely heard of again, as if it had never taken place. There is also one other major question: Are the Europeans on board with Abbas’s sharp pivot away from the United States? Trump’s team is working on a peace plan, which it says is not yet fully formed. There are reports of what the plan contains, but it has not been formally proposed. It may be presumptuous of Abbas to think the EU is willing to give up on that plan before it is presented.

Jordan's king tells Pence U.S. must rebuild trust after Jerusalem decision

Jeff Mason January 21, 2018 / 6:05 AM / 3 days ago

AMMAN (Reuters) - Jordan’s King Abdullah told U.S. Vice President Mike Pence on Sunday he looked to Washington to rebuild “trust and confidence” in moving toward a two-state solution in Israel after President Donald Trump recognized Jerusalem as the country’s capital. With Pence sitting across from him in the royal palace, King Abdullah said Jordan viewed the Israel-Palestinian conflict as a “potential major source of instability”. He said he had raised his concerns for some time that such a decision on Jerusalem “does not come as a result of a comprehensive settlement to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict”. He also reiterated that East Jerusalem should be the capital of a future Palestinian state. “We hope that the U.S. will reach out and find the right way to move forward in these challenging circumstances,” the king said. At the end of the visit, Pence in remarks to the press said he “agreed to disagree” with King Abdullah on the impact of Trump’s move. Pence said in Egypt on Saturday and again in Jordan that the United States would support a two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians if they both agreed to it. Trump’s endorsement in December of Israel’s claim to Jerusalem as its capital drew universal condemnation from Arab leaders and criticism around the world. It also broke with decades of U.S. policy that the city’s status must be decided in negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. Jordan lost East Jerusalem and the West Bank to Israel during the Arab-Israeli war in 1967. Pence told the king that Washington was committed to preserving the status quo of holy sites in Jerusalem. King Abdullah’s Hashemite dynasty is the custodian of the Muslim holy sites in the city, making Amman particularly sensitive to any changes of status there. “For us, Jerusalem is key to Muslims and Christians, as it is to Jews. It is key to peace in the region and key to enabling Muslims to effectively fight some of our root causes of radicalization,” he said. Jordanian officials fear Trump’s move has wrecked chances of a resumption of Arab-Israeli peace talks, which King Abdullah had sought to revive. They also worry the move could trigger violence in the Palestinian territories which could spill over into Jordan, where many people are descendants of Palestinian refugees whose families left after Israel was created in 1948. “We take no position on boundaries and final status. Those are subject to negotiation,” Pence said. After the meeting, Pence flew to a military facility near the Syrian border to meet with U.S. troops. He will finish his three-nation Middle East trip in Israel. Reporting by Jeff Mason; Writing by Suleiman Al-Khalidi and Jeff Mason; Editing by Sonya Hepinstall, William Maclean

Abbas to ask European Union to recognize Palestinian state

Meeting with EU foreign policy chief and its 28 foreign ministers Monday, aging leader looks to bloc as replacement for US mediator, top PA minister says

By AFP and TOI staff 22 January 2018, 1:38 am

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas will ask the European Union to officially recognize the state of Palestine when he meets foreign ministers from the bloc on Monday, a senior official said Sunday. Abbas is scheduled to meet with EU diplomatic chief Federica Mogherini and the foreign ministers of the Union’s 28 countries on the sidelines of their monthly meeting. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a similar meeting last month. The issue of recognition of a Palestinian state is expected to be at the top of the agenda for Monday’s talks. Palestinian foreign minister Riad al-Malki said Sunday that Abbas will tell the EU it should take the step of recognizing Palestine “as a way to respond” to US President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the Israeli capital. Abbas will also “reiterate his commitment to the peace process” in the Middle East, Malki said in an interview with AFP in Brussels. “He’s going to say I’m not going to withdraw from the peace process, I will stay committed.” A week ago Abbas denounced Trump’s efforts to resolve the long-running conflict as the “slap of the century” and caused alarm by saying Israel had sunk the so-called Oslo accords that underpin the stalled peace process. Changing roles After Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel in December, and said that he plans to move the US Embassy to the city from Tel Aviv, the Palestinian leadership declared Washington could no longer fulfill the historic and central role in the peace process it has held for over two decades. Netanyahu said Sunday, ahead of a visit by US Vice President Mike Pence, that “there is no alternative” to the United States as a peacebroker. “I have a message for [PA President Mahmoud] Abbas: There is no alternative to American leadership in the diplomatic process. Whoever is not ready to talk with the Americans on peace does not want peace,” Netanyahu said. Trump said his Jerusalem declaration reflected reality on the ground, and was not intended to prejudge any future arrangement between Israel and the Palestinians regarding the disputed city, though he later said it had taken Jerusalem off the table. Welcomed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and leaders across most of the Israeli political spectrum, the move caused an uproar throughout the Muslim world and was panned by the United Nations, the European Union, and many European countries. Last week, the Central Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization’s (PCC) — the second-highest decision-making body for Palestinians — ratified that the US had “lost its eligibility to function as a mediator and sponsor of the peace process” until it reverses the Jerusalem decision. This week, Abbas and the Palestinian leadership are refusing to meet US Vice President Pence, who landed in Israel Sunday evening, making his visit a rare one by a high-ranking US official not to include talks with the Palestinians. Abbas will now urge the EU to take on a bigger role in trying to move peace efforts forward, declaring American “exclusivity and monopoly” in the process is over, Malki said. “Since Trump’s decision has altered the rules of the game, he [Abbas] expects the European foreign ministers to come forward and collectively recognize the state of Palestine as a way to respond back to Trump’s decision,” Malki said. “If the Europeans want to be a player then they have to be fair in their treatment of both parties and this should start with the recognition of the state of Palestine.” Diplomats and officials in Brussels say recognition for Palestine is not on the cards on Monday — the EU leaves recognition in the hands of individual members — and the best Abbas can hope for is progress towards an “association agreement” with the bloc. Malki said that while the Palestinian Authority was “very serious” about such an agreement, they also expected to be formally recognized as a state. “One does not replace the other. Absolutely not,” he said. The French newspaper Le Monde reported on Sunday that France is trying to upgrade the Palestinian Authority’s status at the EU, but will stop short of recommending full recognition of a Palestinian state. The French are reportedly pushing for an EU free trade agreement with the Palestinians, similar to the one signed with Israel. Individual recognition Regardless of an EU agreement, several European countries appear to be closer than ever to individual recognition of a Palestinian state. Slovenia is planning to recognize Palestine as an independent state next month, and three other European countries — Luxembourg, Ireland and Belgium — are thinking of following suit, Channel 10 news reported Sunday. Last month, Slovenian Parliament Speaker Milan Brglez told Palestinian Ambassador Salah Abdel-Shafi that Slovenia’s recognition of a Palestinian state was “not in doubt,” but just a question of timing. The Slovenian ambassador in Tel Aviv, Barbara Sušnik, told The Times of Israel Sunday that the issue of recognizing Palestinian statehood has been pending in the country’s parliament since 2014, and is only now coming to a vote. She confirmed that the foreign affairs committee will vote on the matter on January 31. If the committee votes in favor of recognizing Palestine, the issue will be brought to a vote in the full plenary of the Parliament. The Channel 10 report said that Israel’s Foreign Ministry has been trying to recruit Slovenian lawmakers to oppose the move, although expectations are low that the process can be stopped. Additionally, according to Channel 10, Luxembourg’s foreign minister called several days ago for a group of European countries to come together and recognize a Palestinian state, and is reportedly trying to convince France to lead the initiative. Ireland’s foreign minister, who recently visited Israel, conveyed at the time that his country was seriously considering recognizing a state of Palestine, the report said. It also named Ireland and Belgium as countries that could soon recognize Palestinian statehood. Sweden was the first western European country to recognize Palestine, in October 2014. In December 2014, in a symbolic move not binding on government policy, French lawmakers voted in favor of recognizing Palestine as a state, following similar moves in Britain and Spain, as European countries tried to restart the stalled Middle East peace process. Italy also followed suit in 2015. Raphael Ahren contributed to this report.

Paris suburb to recognize Palestinian statehood

Gennevilliers mayor says he hopes similar moves by other municipalities will force French government to rethink stance on peace process

By JTA 22 January 2018, 1:56 am

The city council of a suburb of Paris said it would recognize what it called “the state of Palestine.” The office of Gennevilliers Mayor Patrice Leclerc, a Communist Party of France politician, announced on Friday the move, which is symbolic and has no bearing on French foreign policy, French newspaper Le Figaro reported. The so-called recognition will be made in an executive order to be signed Monday at city hall in the northern suburb of Gennevilliers, the statement said. At least three other municipalities in the Paris region, Stains, Bondy, Vitry-sur-Seine, are preparing to take similar steps, the statement also said. Those municipalities have honored Marwan Barghouti, a Palestinian terrorist and member of the PLO who is serving multiple life sentences in Israel for the murder of Israeli victims of terrorist attacks he helped plan. “France by the actions of its former foreign minister Laurent Fabius spoke out at the end of 2016 about the possibility of recognizing Palestine in case the peace process hits a dead end. But nothing was done,” Leclerc wrote in the statement. “President Emmanuel Macron refuses to have France follow through but if thousands of localities in France issue this official order this taking up of positions by municipalities will lead to recognition.” The Le Monde daily reported on Sunday that France is trying to upgrade the Palestinian Authority’s status at the EU, but will stop short of recommending full recognition of a Palestinian state. At a meeting Monday between Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and the European Union’s 28 foreign ministers, the French will reportedly push for an EU free trade agreement with the Palestinians, similar to the one signed with Israel. Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

Ambassador in Israel confirms parliamentary vote is imminent

Slovenia to recognize Palestinian state next month — TV report

Luxembourg, Ireland, Belgium also reportedly gearing up to follow suit, while French is said to be pushing for EU free trade deal with PA

By Raphael Ahren and Sue Surkes 21 January 2018, 10:51 pm

Slovenia is planning to recognize Palestine as an independent state next month, and three other European countries — Luxembourg, Ireland and Belgium — are thinking of following suit, Channel 10 news reported Sunday. France, meanwhile, is working behind the scenes to upgrade the Palestinian Authority’s status at the European Union, the report said. The moves follow US President Donald Trump’s December recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and plan to move the US Embassy to the city from Tel Aviv. Trump said his declaration reflected reality on the ground, and was not intended to prejudge any future arrangement between Israel and the Palestinians regarding the disputed city, though he later said it had taken Jerusalem off the table. Welcomed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and leaders across most of the Israeli political spectrum, the move caused an uproar throughout the Muslim world and was panned by the United Nations, the European Union, and many European countries. Last month, Slovenian Parliament Speaker Milan Brglez told Palestinian Ambassador Salah Abdel-Shafi that Slovenia’s recognition of a Palestinian state was “not in doubt,” but just a question of timing. Slovenian Prime Minister Miro Cerar said at the time that although all three Slovenian coalition parties had voted in favor of recognition, his country should wait until a group of EU member states decided to act together. The Slovenian government decided to move ahead on plans to recognize a Palestinian state a week ago, the Channel 10 report said. It said that a vote on recognition was expected to be held by the Slovenian parliament’s foreign affairs committee on January 31, followed by a vote of the full parliament in February. The Slovenian ambassador in Tel Aviv, Barbara Sušnik, told The Times of Israel that the issue of recognizing Palestinian statehood has been pending in the country’s parliament since 2014, and is only now coming to a vote. She confirmed that the foreign affairs committee will vote on the matter on January 31. If the committee votes in favor of recognizing Palestine, the issue will be brought to a vote in the full plenary of the Parliament. As opposed to many other Western democracies, it is Slovenia’s legislative branch, not its executive, which has the last word on foreign policy matters such as recognizing states. Sušnik said it was difficult to predict how the parliamentarians would vote, but hinted that there was a good chance they would seek to assert the Palestinians’ right to self-determination. “The elected representatives of the people will decide the way they decide. It’s their decision,” she said. “For the people of Slovenia, the principle of self-determination of nations is very important, because that is how Slovenia became independent 26 years ago, when we exercised the right to self-determination. All nations have the right to self-determination.” Sušnik stressed that a possible recognition of Palestine should not be seen as a move hostile to Israel. “We established friendly relations with Israel more than 25 years ago, and we appreciate them a lot,” she said. “We’re committed to good relations with Israel. Our embassy in Tel Aviv was opened in the summer of 1994, right after diplomatic relations were established. Unfortunately, Israel never opened an embassy in Slovenia.” The Channel 10 report said that Israel’s Foreign Ministry has been trying to recruit Slovenian lawmakers to oppose the move, although expectations are low that the process can be stopped. According to the report, Luxembourg’s foreign minister called several days ago for a group of European countries to come together and recognize a Palestinian state, and is reportedly trying to convince France to lead the initiative. Ireland’s foreign minister, who recently visited Israel, conveyed at the time that his country was seriously considering recognizing a state of Palestine, the report said. It also named Ireland and Belgium as countries that could soon recognize Palestinian statehood. Channel 10 quoted a senior Israeli official as saying, “Our position is that recognition of a Palestinian state, which is not within the framework of an agreement, harms the chance of achieving peace and even pushes it further away.” The French newspaper Le Monde, meanwhile, reported on Sunday that France is trying to upgrade the Palestinian Authority’s status at the European Union, stopping short of full recognition of a Palestinian state. The French are reportedly pushing for an EU free trade agreement with the Palestinians, similar to the one signed with Israel. PA President Mahmoud Abbas is scheduled to arrive in Brussels on Monday, where he will meet with the foreign ministers of the Union’s 28 countries. The issue of recognition of a Palestinian state is expected to be at the top of the agenda for the talks. After Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel in December, the Palestinian leadership declared Washington could no longer fulfill the historic and central role in the peace process it has held for over two decades. Last week, the Central Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization’s (PCC) — the second-highest decision-making body for Palestinians — ratified that the US had “lost its eligibility to function as a mediator and sponsor of the peace process” until it reverses the Jerusalem decision. Sweden was the first western European country to recognize Palestine, in October 2014. In December 2014, in a symbolic move not binding on government policy, French lawmakers voted in favor of recognizing Palestine as a state, following similar moves in Britain and Spain, as European countries tried to restart the stalled Middle East peace process. Italy followed suit in 2015.

57.9% of Illegals Caught at U.S.-Mexico Border in FY17 Not Mexican; From 111 Other Countries

By Terence P. Jeffrey | January 18, 2018 7:21 PM EST

(CNSNews.com) - Only 42.1 percent of the “deportable aliens” that the U.S. Border Patrol apprehended along the U.S.-Mexico border in fiscal 2017 were citizens of Mexico, according to data collected by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. A significant majority—57.9 percent—came from 111 other countries. In fact, during fiscal year 2017, the Border Patrol apprehended deportable aliens along the U.S.-Mexico border who came from 84 countries that are not in the Americas. In fiscal 2017, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the Border Patrol apprehended a total of 310,531 “deportable aliens” in all 20 Border Patrol sectors. (These include nine sectors along the Southwest Border with Mexico, eight along the Northern Border with Canada, and three along the nation’s Coastal Border.) Of the total 310,531 “deportable aliens” the Border Patrol apprehended, 303,916 (or about 97.9 percent) were apprehended in the nine sectors along the Southwest Border with Mexico. Of these 303,916 deportable aliens apprehended along the Southwest Border, 175,978 (or 57.9 percent) were citizens of countries other than Mexico and 127,938 (or 42.1 percent) were citizens of Mexico. The top three countries that ranked after Mexico for having their citizens apprehended as deportable aliens along the U.S.-Mexico border were Central American countries. These were Guatemala (65,871), El Salvador (49,760) and Honduras (47,260), which ranked second, third and fourth. But India ranked fifth. In fiscal 2017, the Border Patrol apprehended along the Southwest Border 2,963 deportable aliens who were citizens of India. In fact, the Border Patrol apprehended more citizens of India in its nine sectors along the U.S.-Mexico border than citizens of Brazil (2,621) or Ecuador (1,429), which ranked sixth and seventh for having deportable aliens apprehended on the Southwest Border. The Peoples Republic of China ranked eighth, with the Border Patrol apprehending 1,364 Chinese citizens along the Southwest Border in fiscal 2017. That put China ahead of Nicaragua, which ranked ninth. The Border Patrol apprehended 1,057 Nicaraguans along the Southwest Border in fiscal 2017. Among the Top 41 countries whose citizens were apprehended by the Border Patrol along the Southwest Border, 21 were not in the Americas. In addition to India (2,943) and China (1,364), these included Nepal (647), Bangladesh (564), Romania (433), Pakistan (224), Albania (49), Vietnam (49), Somalia (48), Sri Lanka (48), Kosovo (45), Turkey (35), Nigeria (28), Ghana (14), Afghanistan (14), Saudi Arabia (14), Israel (11), Jordan (10), South Korea (10), France (9), and Hungary (9). Notably, the deportable aliens from Nepal (647), Bangladesh (564), Romania (433) and Pakistan (224) that the Border Patrol apprehended along the Southwest border in fiscal 2017 exceeded those apprehended from Columbia (196), Dominican Republic (181), Cuba (147), Venezuela (73) and Haiti (57). Additionally, the Border Patrol apprehended deportable aliens who are citizens of nations outside the Americas more often at the U.S.-Mexico border than at the Northern Border or the Coastal Border. For example, while the Border Patrol apprehended 2,943 Indian citizens at the Southwest Border, it apprehended only 168 at the Northern Border, and 24 at the Coastal Border. Similarly, the Border Patrol apprehended 1,364 Chinese citizens at the Southwest Border, but only 32 at the Northern Border and 17 at the Coastal Border. The Border Patrol apprehended 647 Nepalese at the Southwest Border, but only 1 at the Northern Border and none at the Coastal Border. It apprehended 564 Bangladeshis at the Southwest Border, but only 9 at the Northern Border, and 1 at the Coastal Border. The Border Patrol apprehended 433 Romanians at the Southwest Border, but only 13 at the Northern Border and only 4 at the Coastal Border. It apprehended 224 Pakistanis at the Southwest Border, but only 9 at the Northern Border and none at the Coastal Border. According to the Department of Homeland Security an apprehension is: “The arrest of a removable alien by the Department of Homeland Security. Each apprehension of the same alien in a fiscal year is counted separately." According to DHS, the term “deportable aliens” includes “any alien illegally in the United States, regardless of whether the alien entered the country by fraud or misrepresentation or entered legally but subsequently lost legal status.”

STUNNING=> OBAMA and HILLARY Exchanged Unsecured Emails in Territory of “Hostile Adversary” — FBI COVERED IT UP!

Additional text messages sent and received by disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok were recently handed over to Congress, reports the AP. Buried in the report are text messages between Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page discussing how hackers likely obtained an email exchange between then-President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

STUNNING=> OBAMA and HILLARY Exchanged Unsecured Emails in Territory of “Hostile Adversary” — FBI COVERED IT UP!

Additional text messages sent and received by disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok were recently handed over to Congress, reports the AP. Buried in the report are text messages between Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page discussing how hackers likely obtained an email exchange between then-President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. The exchange was later covered-up by the FBI after the incident was removed from Comey’s closing statement on Clinton’s email investigation. One of the messages references a change in language to Comey’s statement closing out the email case involving Clinton, Trump’s Democratic opponent in the 2016 presidential election. While an earlier draft of the statement said Clinton and President Barack Obama had an email exchange while Clinton was “on the territory” of a hostile adversary, the reference to Obama was at first changed to “senior government official” and then omitted entirely in the final version. As The Gateway Pundit‘s Jim Hoft reported, Obama told CBS’s Bill Plante that he first learned about Clinton’s private email use use “through news reports,” implying he didn’t exchange emails with his Secretary of State. However, during a White House press briefing, press secretary Josh Earnest admitted Obama did in fact exchange emails with hrd22@clintonemail.com, strongly suggesting he was aware of Clinton’s private email account. During the 2016 presidential campaign, Wikileaks released Obama’s emails to Clinton. His pseudonym was bobama@ameritech.com. Earlier this month, Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) released Comey’s closing statement on the FBI’s Clinton email investigation. The Hill‘s John Solomon revealed: Ex-FBI Director James Comey’s original statement closing out the probe into Hillary Clinton‘s use of a private email server was edited by subordinates to remove five separate references to terms like “grossly negligent” and to delete mention of evidence supporting felony and misdemeanor violations, according to copies of the full document. Comey also originally concluded that it was “reasonably likely” that Clinton’s nonsecure private server was accessed or hacked by hostile actors though there was no evidence to prove it. But that passage was also changed to the much weaker “possible,” the memos show. Comey’s original draft stated, “Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statute proscribing gross negligence in the handling of classified information and of the statute proscribing misdemeanor mishandling, my judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case.” In the closing statement, the terms “gross negligence” and “misdemeanor mishandling” where edited to “potential violations of the statutes.” In December, Johnson alleged “hostile actors” had likely gained access to Clinton’s private email server containing classified information.

Evidence Exists To Warrant Arrests, Prosecutions Of Deep State Leaders And Minions

Jan 22, 2018 Read More Articles by News With Views

By NWV Senior Political News Writer, Jim Kouri

Political bias across the US government bears the fingerprints of the deep state. Trump must act. One year into President Trump’s tenure, anti-Trump political bias in the FBI and Department of Justice is now so obvious that objective observers should fear for the future of our constitutional republic from the “deep state.” Frighteningly, the deep state has been exposed as a real thing, with names and faces. Senior officials in FBI and DOJ are conspiring with the national liberal media and allies in Congress to delegitimize, criminalize and ultimately unseat a legitimately elected president. Yet there is an even graver threat to the American people and the very existence of the United States. Deep Staters dominating bureaucracies within the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, Department of State, and intelligence community, are undermining national security policies Mr. Trump was elected to implement. The deep state thinks it knows better than Mr. Trump and the voters. They would “stay the course” on failed policies that are now reaching the point of crisis with North Korea, Russia, China, and Iran. Mr. Trump’s national security administration so far comprises only a thin veneer of senior officials in DOD, DHS, DOS, and the intelligence community. Beneath relatively few Trump appointees are thousands of officials and the permanent bureaucracy inherited from the Obama and Clinton administrations. One great mistake of President George W. Bush was failure to purge his administration of Clinton appointees, many of whom wormed into the permanent bureaucracy. Since President Clinton’s administration, the federal bureaucracy, including national security departments and agencies, has moved steadily leftward, pausing under the second President Bush, but rapidly accelerating hard-left during President Obama’s 8 years. Today’s deep state, hostile to Mr. Trump, Republicans and conservative policies generally, has been in the making a quarter-century, or more. The left that so hated “the establishment” in the 1960s has today become “the establishment” in the government, media, and universities. Today, “anti-establishment” enemies of the deep state are Reaganites, conservatives, and independent thinkers who have for years been exiled from government for “political incorrectness.” Our hope is that Mr. Trump, as the people’s “politically incorrect” and “anti-establishment” champion, would resume the Reagan Revolution to restore ideological balance and common sense to at least the national security establishment. Alas, Mr. Trump’s administration is still largely manned by deep state Obama-Clinton apparatchiks hostile to his “America First” worldview and “Peace Through Strength” agenda. The national security deep state is not only hostile to Mr. Trump — they are dangerously incompetent: The Intelligence Community (which also wrongly claims Russia rigged elections favoring Mr. Trump) grossly underestimated North Korea’s ICBM capabilities and proximity to the H-Bomb. Yet former Reagan administration officials and independent experts have warned for years the intelligence community is underestimating North Korea’s nuclear missile threat. Washington’s foreign policy establishment continues to seek denuclearization of North Korea through China, even though evidence is overwhelming that China and Russia helped build the North Korean nuclear threat to advance their geostrategic interests. Even many Republicans mistakenly accept as gospel the narrative of the Department of State and intelligence community “professionals” that Mr. Obama’s nuclear deal stopped Iran from getting the bomb. Yet there is compelling evidence, ignored by the deep state, that Iran has already clandestinely developed nuclear weapons, as North Korea did in 1994. We have first-hand experience working inside government for the Congressional EMP Commission during Mr. Trump’s first year. Dangerously, the national security deep state is undermining protection of the nation’s electric grid and other life-sustaining critical infrastructures from electromagnetic pulse (EMP), contrary to the president’s election promise in the Republican National Committee Platform and his recent National Security Strategy: The Obama administration’s classified Joint Atomic Energy Intelligence Committee report on EMP continues to inform White House and dominate DHS policy, even though the EMP Commission found the JAEIC report to be the worst and most erroneous study of EMP ever produced. Sen. Ron Johnson’s excellent Critical Infrastructure Protection Act required DHS to report to Congress in December 2017 on a strategic plan to protect the nation from EMP. Yet this requirement was ignored for nearly a year. A DHS EMP Task Force formed only a few months ago. It excludes those analysts most expert on EMP, refused briefings from the EMP Commission, and is proposing to use for the baseline EMP threat the discredited JAEIC report. The Obama administration’s “do nothing” policy on EMP continues at the Department of Energy where the Office of Electric Reliability plans to spend millions endlessly studying EMP in collaboration with the national labs and the electric power industry. Yet these studies are unnecessary. DOD has all the data needed to protect the national grid now, but has ignored the EMP Commission’s recommendation to share EMP data. Obama-holdovers in DOD slow-rolled and sabotaged the EMP Commission, hoodwinking Congress into terminating the EMP Commission in September 2017. That same month North Korea successfully tested an H-Bomb they describe as capable of “super-powerful EMP attack” and released a report accurately describing a Super-EMP nuclear weapon. “Mr. President, drain the national security swamp!” echo the American people. Dr. William Graham was chairman of the congressional EMP Commission, White House science advisor to President Reagan and director of NASA. Dr. Peter Vincent Pry was EMP Commission chief of staff and served in the House Armed Services Committee and the CIA. Reposted from the Washington Times at the request of the writers.

New Artificial Retina That Can Be Used in Transplants

Wednesday, January 17, 2018

London, Jan 17.- An international group of scientists created the first artificial retina that can replace a damaged one, the specialized journal Nano Letters published on Wednesday. It is a nanotechnological tissue that functions as an artificial retina and its application could restore sight to many people with vision problems, the creators highlighted. The research team was composed of scientists from the University of Tel-Aviv, the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology of Jerusalem, and the University of Newcastle. None of the designs so far were practical, small or with sufficient image quality, the experts commented. Instead of trying to miniaturize electronic components, the scientists developed a flexible fabric composed of carbon nanotubes that reacts similarly to the retina. 'When receiving light, this tissue is capable of generating electrical impulses to excite nervous tissue under the retina,' explained the Nano Letters report. The material is more durable, flexible and efficient when it comes to capturing light than any of the previous solutions, the scientific publication highlighted. So far, researchers have successfully tested the material in the retina of a chicken, according to the media. (Prensa Latina)

Ex-CIA Clandestine Officer Confirms False Flag Missile Attack Upon Hawaii

By Dave Hodges

The Hawaiian Islands “incoming missile” alert, which was officially downgraded to a “mistake”, was supposedly made due to an inattentive worker that happened during a shift change. That explanation is total Bravo Sierra. As I previously reported on a broadcast on The Common Sense Show Youtube channel, the process to deliver a warning of this magnitude is a 5 step process, involving two humans, with keys, turning the mechanism to release the information at the same time. The key mounts are eight feet apart. An accident is impossible. Within hours of the event, and because I was able to quickly gather information to demonstrate that the Hawaiian event was no accident, and ex-CIA Robert David Steele was able to confirm the information. Warnings In Both Hawaii and Japan In the following video, Lisa Haven also reported on this issue and she clearly states that her sources confirmed that the process to warn the public of an incoming threat is a 5 step process. Not only that, Lisa reduces the odds that this was some big coincidence because the same thing happened in Japan on the following day. When one does the work that Lisa and myself do on an ongoing basis, one comes to realize that coincidences are few and far between. Here is Lisa Haven’s report on this matter: I also have confirmed this 5 step process with multiple people including one who will go on the record, and that person is former CIA clandestine officer, Robert David Steele. In addition, The Common Sense Show has learned that AFPAC’s warning system also broadcast the same warning at the same time and that this system is independent of the Hawaiian warning system. The government and the Governor of Hawaii are both lying to the people! Look Up In the Sky, It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, No, It’s a Missile Being Blown up Less Than 100 Miles From Hawaii. Multiple people, approximately 100 nautical miles from the Hawaiian Islands saw a flash of light following an explosion in the air. The time frame fits the Hawaiian warning of an incoming missile. The witnesses included a boating expedition of about 10 people. Further, there are multiple accounts in the Islands of seeing the flash of light (ie explosion). Ex-CIA Robert David Steele Speaks Out On the False Flag Nature of Missile Alert Yesterday, I interviewed Robert David Steele, who served for years in the clandestine service portion of the CIA. Among many subjects, we discussed the Hawaiian missile alert. He confirms the process of alerting the public to an imminent event and this warning is, as I have stated, a 5 step process and an accident of the type being described by the Hawaiian governor is not possible. The Governor is lying to the citizens of Hawaii. In the interview, Steele is crystal clear in saying that this was a false flag attack designed to blame North Korea and start World War III. The Motivation for the Attack One should realize that the “attack” upon Hawaii and later Japan happened very shortly after is was announced that the two Korea’s would march under the same flag and form a joint hockey team. This development is being undertated in the mainstream media. This development is monumental in its implication because this represents two nations who are saying no to World War III. It is not likely that the hockey coach and Olympic contingent from both nations called each other said let’s be friends. This development was generated at a much higher level. I have been told that the President’s’ of China and the US agreed to and encouraged this development. And as I have previously covered on The Common Sense Show, this means that in actuality, none of the principals in the ongoing events related to NK’s nuclear missiles want World War III. Given what we know about the situation, it seems very likely that rogue elements of the globalists launched a missile at both Japan and Hawaii, both were taken down, and the attempted false flag events designed to start World War III were averted for the time being. I covered these possibilities in the following interview: It is going to be a wild ride because the globalists don’t passively accept defeat. There will undoubtedly be more provocations designed to start World War III as the globalists search for the right combination of events to have their (WW I) Archduke Francis Ferdinand moment.

Rep. Jim Jordan is FED UP, Demands Second Special Counsel After FBI Loses Peter Strzok’s Text Messages

January 21, 2018 by Joshua Caplan

Additional text messages sent and received by disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok have been handed over to Congress, reports the Associated Press.

In yet another twist to the Strzok saga, the FBI failed to hand over a block of the agent’s text messages because they have gone missing. AP reports: But the department also said in a letter to lawmakers that its record of messages sent to and from the agent, Peter Strzok, was incomplete because the FBI, for technical reasons, had been unable to preserve and retrieve about five months’ worth of communications. New text messages highlighted in a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray by Sen. Ron Johnson, the Republican chairman of the Senate’s Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, are from the spring and summer of 2016 and involve discussion of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server. They reference Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s decision to accept the FBI’s conclusion in that case and a draft statement that former FBI Director James Comey had prepared in anticipation of closing out the Clinton investigation without criminal charges. Following reports of the FBI’s mystery “glitch,” Rep. Jordan Jordan (R-OH) is renewing his call for a second special counsel to investigate the former Mueller team member. “First the IRS destroyed emails pivotal to our investigation of their political targeting. Now the FBI “failed to preserve” texts between Peter Strzok & Lisa Page following the ’16 election. The time for a second special counsel is now,” tweeted the Ohio lawmaker. This isn’t the first time Jordan has publicly suggested a second counsel be appointed. Appearing before the House Judiciary Committee on December 13th, 2017, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein was grilled by Jordan in relation to Strzok’s role in both the Hillary Clinton email investigation and Mueller-Russia probe. “This is unbelievable,” Jordan lamented to Rosenstein, demanding to know what “fact pattern” would be required for a second special counsel to be appointed. “I think the public trust in this whole thing is gone,” Jordan asserted.

Class war in the American west: the rich landowners blocking access to public lands

Private landowners present a rising threat to the millions of acres set aside for public use by blocking access to public lands

By Kathleen McLaughlin January 2018

The Diamond Bar X is a postcard-perfect slice of Montana solitude. A former cattle ranch that’s been parceled up into sprawling home sites, it sits not far outside Augusta, a cowboy town beneath Montana’s Rocky Mountain Front, where the Great Plains crash into majestic snow-peaked mountains to dramatic effect. The area is prime habitat for elk and grizzlies, people are few, and its residents have easy access to countless miles of trails and streams on the adjacent public lands. By all accounts, this was a little community positioned just right for fishing, hunting, hiking in some of Montana’s wilder mountain spaces. And that’s how it functioned for decades, residents said in court, until Joseph Campbell bought 300 acres at the Diamond Bar X, moved in and started putting up locked gates that blocked access to well-trodden thoroughfares that people in the area had used for years. Within five years, court records say, the police were called 25 times to deal with Campbell’s threats and erratic behavior, and his seeming obsession over keeping people off every inch of his property despite longstanding agreements among the neighbors for access to the neighboring publicly owned land. (In the west’s wide-open spaces, it’s common practice for landowners to negotiate deals – both informal and formal – to allow the public to cross their land to get to hunting spots, streams and trails.) In 2013, after years of fights and threats, Campbell finally snapped. He shot and killed his neighbor, Timothy Newman, a man who had repeatedly challenged Campbell over his access-blocking proclivities. Campbell first claimed it was self-defense because Newman threatened him, but last year he finally pleaded guilty to negligent homicide. He’s now on probation, under a 20 years suspended prison sentence. The case offers a violent, extreme illustration of what many say is a creeping, pervasive and underreported threat to public lands in the west: a widening class battle between private landowners – oftentimes newcomers with little knowledge of the region’s history or law – and the general public expecting to use public lands. It’s become the new class war of the west, one public lands advocate I interviewed told me. It’s a class war contentious enough he didn’t want his name used beside that characterization. There are no available statistics on land-access related violence, but throughout the west, anecdotes spring up regularly about chest-thumping, locked gates and confrontations, often with both sides armed. From Wyoming to Idaho to Utah, public access through private land is a hot-button issue in the west. While public lands advocates battle the Trump administration over its plans to scale back national monuments, some private landowners – whether by tying up land access cases in courts or by putting up physical gates – present a rising threat to the millions of acres set aside for public use. According to a study from the Center for Western Priorities, 4m acres of public lands in the Rocky Mountain West (Montana, Idaho, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and New Mexico) are considered “landlocked”, blocked off by private landowners who control adjacent properties or roadways. Two million of those landlocked acres are in Montana. The report notes that “land ownership in the Rocky Mountain West is a quilt of federal, state local, Native American and private lands. The patchwork of owners can make it difficult for the public to access lands without trespassing through private lands.” At the heart of the battle, landowners and recreations groups say, often lies misunderstanding. New Montana property owners often arrive wanting their own slice of paradise without knowing the decades of legal battles over public lands and a history of allowing neighbors – sometimes after protracted negotiation through governments and courts – to move through roads and trails. A ranch once open to hunting is suddenly posted as private, hunters ignore the gates and signs, and conflict flares. And in some pockets that have become havens for the uber-rich – like the Crazy Mountains near Livingston - and politically connected, private landowners have tied up huge tracts of prime recreational public lands. Kate Kelly, public lands specialist with the Center for American Progress, said while natural resource development like oil and gas threatens access to public lands in the west, a major and less noticed peril in Montana – and to a lesser degree in other states – comes from private landowners blocking public access. “Where Montana stands out is when it comes to how much public land is essentially inaccessible,” said Kelley. “For Montana, it appears that a very real problem is private landowners – including those coming in from out of state – and their unwillingness to grant access to public lands. It’s essentially locking Montanans out of their backyard.” “I think this is one of the driving factors to loss of access to public lands – people coming in who don’t necessarily understand Montana values,” said Land Tawney of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers, a national land conservation group based in Montana. For Gloria Flora, the public/private turf battles took a different, equally violent and unsettling turn, one that drove her out of Montana entirely. Flora, a former US Forest Service manager, moved to a sparsely populated area outside the state capital, Helena, in 2005 and into what would be the middle of heated fight over who could use the roads. Two of her neighbors locked in an escalating war over easements – negotiated agreements that allow people to cross private land in order to get to public land – with one neighbor reportedly insisting that if others used his road, he could do whatever he wanted on their land. In 2011, one of those neighbors turned up dead. No arrests have been made. Flora and her husband, who were friends with the man who died, packed up and left the state, fearing for their own safety. Given her own experience, and what she saw in her years as a Forest Service manager, Flora believes private conflicts over public land access are on the rise in the west. The problem, she said, often begins when people misunderstand the historic limits of private property when it connects to public land. “They have two acres and they think they are in the vast wilderness. They really don’t get it, a lot of the newer people moving it,” said Flora. “I think they are flummoxed by the access laws. It’s about whose got the bigger voice and bigger gun, despite what the law is.” That’s not to imply there was a period in recent history when everyone roamed through the Rocky Mountain West’s private ranches and farms to hunt and fish wherever they pleased. The region was built on a snatching land from Native Americans and conflicts have long been present over who owns what and goes where for what purpose. But the frame has changed radically in recent years as longstanding large ranches and farms have been sold and divided into smaller private properties and more people have moved in, including a mass influx of big money to some specific pockets. The issue of public access through private land has always been contentious but the land is getting relatively crowded. “I know this sounds like an odd thing to say, but we’re kind of running out of land,” said Flora. Since the 1960s, the population of the Rocky Mountain West has grown at a higher rate than the rest of the United States. States including Idaho and Montana have seen steady population increases in the past 30 years. In other words, this is not a stagnant economic zone lacking for growth. In 1970, Montana’s population was less than 700,000; today it’s more than 1 million. That inward migration has come alongside a shift from an economy based on mining and logging to one based on the service industry. And it’s all brought fast-rising income inequality and an ongoing, roiling culture clash. In the meantime, things are apt to get messier with more confrontations and court battles. The state of Montana, perhaps showing where it stands, has hired a public lands access specialist, the only one known in the country. He’s been tasked with identifying access problems and brokering agreements between governments, landowners and the public for access. Montana’s public v private land battle is highly political and became a major flashpoint in the governor’s race last year. The Democrat incumbent, Governor Steve Bullock, hammered his opponent, Republican Greg Gianforte, over a 2009 lawsuit that sought to remove an easement providing river access through Gianforte’s property. Bullock beat Gianforte, in part by focusing on the issue of access to public lands. Still, Gianforte was elected months later in a special election to replace Zinke as Montana’s congressman. In a December op-ed in the Washington Post, Bullock criticized Trump’s decision to scale back national monuments, inviting him to Montana and calling public lands a great equalizer. The president’s son Donald Trump Jr appears to already spend significant time hunting in Montana. Bullock wrote: “You don’t have to have a Swiss bank account to spend a day with a fly rod on the river. You don’t have to have friends in high places to explore mountains and trails. You don’t have to have to own a big piece of property to experience some of the best hunting and fishing in the world.” It’s still mostly true, but those boundaries are being tested every day.

MUST SEE VIDEO=> Former Federal Prosecutor Details “Brazen Plot” by FBI and DOJ to Exonerate Hillary and “Frame” Donald Trump

January 21, 2018 by Jim Hoft

According to an interview with the Daily Caller, a former federal prosecutor says the truth is starting to seep out about the Obama Administration’s “brazen plot to exonerate Hillary Clinton” and “frame an incoming president with a false Russian conspiracy.” – Joe diGenova, a former federal prosecutor, connects the dots on former Obama administration Justice Department and FBI officials who may have “violated the law, perhaps committed crimes” to politicize law enforcement and surveillance against political opponents. He says former FBI Director James Comey conducted a fake criminal investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as they “followed none of the regular rules, gave her every break in the book, immunized all kinds of people, allowed the destruction of evidence, with no grand jury, no subpoenas, no search warrants. That’s not an investigation. That’s a Potemkin village. It’s a farce.” DiGenova condemned the FBI for working so closely with the controversial Fusion GPS, a political hit squad paid by the DNC and Clinton campaign to create and spread the discredited Steele dossier about President Donald Trump. Without a justifiable law enforcement or national security reason, he says, the FBI “created false facts so that they could get surveillance warrants. Those are all crimes.” He adds, using official FISA-702 “queries” and surveillance was done “to create a false case against a candidate, and then a president.” In this highly detailed video interview, he holds up an unreported April 2017 99-page FISA court opinion that “describes systematic and on-going violations of the law [by the FBI and their contractors using unauthorized disclosures of raw intelligence on Americans]. This is stunning stuff.” DiGenova thinks Fusion GPS and Crowdstrike, the DNC’s private security firm, were among the redacted contractors of the FBI. DeGenova states – People that were senior career civil servants violated the law, perhaps committed crimes, and covered up crimes by a Presidential candidate [Hillary]. But more than that, they tried to frame an incoming President with a false Russian conspiracy that never existed and they knew it and they plotted to ruin him as a candidate and then destroy him as a President. That’s why this is important. That’s why connecting the dots is important, because the FBI now has to be completely reconstructed from the ground up.” Here is the video –

Abortion: When worlds collide

David Kupelian reflects on cosmic madness of sanitized baby-killing on Roe v Wade's 45th birthday

Published: 1 day ago David Kupelian

For most of us, the death of a child is our worst nightmare. The Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre was so singularly gut-wrenching because the victims were mostly young children. Likewise, news reports about the Boston Marathon bombing emphasized the fact that, of the three people killed, one was an 8-year-old boy – as if to highlight the uniquely great loss of a child. In the world of crime, one of the most incomprehensible acts is baby murder. We’re outraged at the widespread sex-selective infanticide of newborn girls in China. And news headlines like “Georgia boys face murder charges after cold-blooded killing of infant being strolled by mother” and “Black teens murder white baby for the fun of it” cause us to shake our heads and wonder, How could anyone possibly sink so low? Many murders of babies – almost half, according to the Justice Department’s National Criminal Justice Reference Service – occur within the first 24 hours after birth, so-called “neonaticide.” Of course, appalling crimes like these have always have been a part of life in this fallen world – a world of good and evil, of decent and indecent people, where moral outrage is kindled within all good souls by the murder of the innocent. However, parallel to this moral, rational world exists yet another world – an amoral, irrational one rooted in deepest denial, and constructed over several decades with great effort and ingenuity. We’re talking about the realm of … well, what shall we call it? Every official label – “abortion,” “choice,” “women’s health,” “reproductive freedom,” “pregnancy termination,” “voluntary miscarriage” – is a fragile euphemism designed to obscure a dark reality. That reality, stated objectively, would be: the premeditated killing of human babies residing inside their mother. In this strange parallel world, the same killing of a baby that in the real world outrages us and results in prosecution, prison and possibly execution, is mysteriously transformed into a “medical procedure” and “constitutional right,” provided for and fiercely defended by a multi-billion-dollar industry and all the powers of government – and funded by taxpayers. These two worlds collided spectacularly in the trial of Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell. As everyone who followed the 2013 trial knows, Gosnell’s clinic, despite its dignified-sounding name, “Women’s Medical Society,” was actually a “house of horrors” more reminiscent of the Nazi doctor Josef Mengele than a legitimate medical practice. Here’s the grand jury’s summary: This case is about a doctor who killed babies and endangered women. What we mean is that he regularly and illegally delivered live, viable babies in the third trimester of pregnancy – and then murdered these newborns by severing their spinal cords with scissors. The medical practice by which he carried out this business was a filthy fraud in which he overdosed his patients with dangerous drugs, spread venereal disease among them with infected instruments, perforated their wombs and bowels – and, on at least two occasions, caused their deaths. The grand jury’s report is horrifying not just for what it reveals about Gosnell’s crimes, but because it documents that a lot of what was later universally condemned about Gosnell’s abortion business had been known throughout the Pennsylvania regulatory agencies for years – but no one lifted a finger to stop it. The sun started to shine on all this when the case went to trial. Eyewitness testimony painted an otherworldly picture of a Nazi-like torture clinic, with one Gosnell employee saying “it would rain fetuses – fetuses and blood all over the place,” and another recalling one baby expelled alive into a toilet and observing the infant “was like swimming” and “trying to get out.” For a “mainstream” press overwhelmingly skewed toward “reproductive rights,” it was stunning when top news organizations from the New York Times to the Washington Post suddenly proclaimed their outrage over Gosnell’s abortion crimes and the lack of news coverage. “Infant beheadings. Severed baby feet in jars. A child screaming after it was delivered alive during an abortion procedure,” wrote liberal Democrat and Fox News contributor Kirsten Powers in an impassioned and widely read USA Today column. “Haven’t heard about these sickening accusations? It’s not your fault,” she explained: Since the murder trial of Pennsylvania abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell began March 18, there has been precious little coverage of the case that should be on every news show and front page. The revolting revelations of Gosnell’s former staff, who have been testifying to what they witnessed and did during late-term abortions, should shock anyone with a heart. Likewise, the Atlantic, as “mainstream” and elite as media organizations get, headlined its report decrying lack of national press coverage, “Why Dr. Kermit Gosnell’s Trial Should Be a Front-Page Story.” Its dramatic sub-headline summarized the whole sordid tale: “The dead babies. The exploited women. The racism. The numerous governmental failures. It is thoroughly newsworthy.” There was just one problem with this journalistic outrage over Gosnell’s abortion crimes: Virtually everything Gosnell was accused of doing occurs routinely in other abortion clinics throughout America. Everything. Routinely. “The dead babies,” intoned the Atlantic’s headline. Yes, the dead babies – close to 60 million of them so far since Roe v. Wade, including hundreds of thousands of late-term abortions just like those babies “murdered” by Gosnell and his employees. “The exploited women.” Sorry, but exploiting women – scaring and pressuring them, pretending to care about them so they’ll buy the abortion, withholding life-and-death medical information about both the unborn child’s development and the adverse physical and psychological consequences for the mother, essentially conning them from start to finish – is the central operating principle of the abortion industry. If women were counseled with absolute honesty, candor and full disclosure, the number of abortions would plunge overnight. Moreover, abortionists’ routine exploitation of women when the “procedure” goes awry, as it often does, has resulted in death for many and permanent injury, trauma, sterility and soul-scarring heartache for countless more. “The racism.” The left-leaning press, which somehow is more offended by racism than almost anything else in this life, complained about Gosnell’s “racist” double standard in treating poor minority women worse than he treated rich white women from the suburbs. Reality check: The abortion industry is one of the most racist enterprises in the Western world. Margaret Sanger, founder of the nation’s No. 1 abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, was an unapologetic racist and eugenics proponent who openly advocated for discouraging blacks and other “inferior races” from breeding. To this day, U.S. abortion clinics are set up predominately in areas with a disproportionately high black population, a fact documented repeatedly over the years. “The numerous governmental failures.” Seriously? It’s not just the “failures” of the Pennsylvania regulatory authorities. Government at all levels, but especially at the federal level, for decades has overtly supported, enabled and protected the abortion industry in myriad ways ranging from providing taxpayer support to enacting laws prohibiting pro-life protesters from congregating anywhere near abortion clinics, legislation flagrantly violating the First Amendment’s right to assemble. “So,” asked Mark Crutcher, founder and president of the Denton, Texas-based organization Life Dynamics, “why is everyone so upset over Kermit Gosnell?” Along with other pro-life activist groups engaged in undercover work like Operation Rescue and Live Action, Life Dynamics has long specialized in exposing criminal abortionists. “For years,” Crutcher told me during the Gosnell trial, “we’ve exposed one criminal abortionist after the other. But abortion proponents always say the offender is just a ‘bad apple’ and an ‘aberration.’ But when we expose hundreds of similar offenders, every one of them is still just a ‘bad apple’ in a barrel of good apples. At what point do we realize they’re all bad apples?” One chapter of Crutcher’s book, “Lime 5: Exploited by Choice,” details three-dozen cases of abortionists (and references many more) who raped or otherwise sexually molested their “patients.” One of the abortion doctors, called a “predator in a white coat” by California’s deputy attorney general, was accused of sexually assaulting more than 160 women. ‘Morally irreconcilable’ The collision of these two warring worlds in the Gosnell case – the real world where killing a baby is a capital crime, and the dream world where killing the exact same baby at the exact same age is a “woman’s fundamental right” – forces us to confront a peculiar question: Where did the killing occur? Understand, the babies Gosnell was convicted of murdering were no older, larger, more viable, more human or more precious than other late-term babies aborted routinely over the past 40 years. It’s just that Gosnell pulled them out of their mother before killing them. Had he done exactly the same horrendous things (like “snipping” infants’ spinal cords) while the baby was still inside the mother, many who today express horror would have regarded it as just another late-term “women’s health procedure” that mother and doctor determined to be in her best interest. How is this possible? Aside from legal restrictions imposed (but routinely ignored) by a few states, abortion in America under Roe v. Wade is legal from the moment of conception until the moment of birth, if the mother’s life or health is determined to be endangered. And “health” here’s the giant loophole – is broadly interpreted to include both physical and mental health. That means late-term abortionists (with a cooperating second doctor) can, and routinely do, sign authorization forms claiming the mother risks becoming, oh let’s just say, “depressed” if denied the “procedure” or “therapy.” To her credit, Powers forthrightly confronted this now-institutionalized mass delusion: “… [W]hether Gosnell was killing the infants one second after they left the womb instead of partially inside or completely inside the womb – as in a routine late-term abortion – is merely a matter of geography. That one is murder and the other is a legal procedure is morally irreconcilable.” The existence of these two competing worlds, one based on self-evident truth and valuing human life, and the other on monumental selfishness and denial, is easy enough to explain – just as slavery was easy to explain (in terms of its supposed economic “necessity” in maintaining the giant tobacco and cotton plantations of the South) when it was an established practice in the United States. America’s mass acquiescence to abortion is rooted in our devotion to what has become a near-sacred belief in total sexual freedom. However disastrously, we have determined as a modern, secular, post-Christian society that we have the absolute right to engage in sexual relations with whomever we want, whenever and wherever we want, and we repudiate any notion that we must take responsibility for the natural result of sex – which is children. Having committed so deeply to this proposition, it matters not how barbaric and inhuman abortion is, how many gorgeous children we see with their throats cut, heads cut off, chemically burned alive, brains sucked out or spinal cord “snipped” with scissors. We must allow for abortion-on-demand or our sacred right to total sexual freedom ceases to exist. That’s our current operating paradigm, without its clothes. This is why, as an Illinois state senator, Barack Obama opposed the “Born Alive Infant Protection Act,” designed to prevent the killing of babies that, despite the abortionist’s “best efforts,” are born alive – in other words, it was crafted to prevent precisely the crimes for which Kermit Gosnell was convicted of murder. But Obama took that extreme position because, once you start allowing for the restriction of abortion in even the slightest way, you are acknowledging the humanity of the unborn (or in this particular case, the born) child, and the whole abortion delusion is in danger of unraveling. Magic lines In the dream world of “reproductive freedom,” women are advised: “Had unprotected sex? Just take the morning-after pill.” A few weeks later, “Just take RU486,” and a few weeks after that, “Just have a suction abortion. It’s not a baby.” Yet with each passing week of gestation, the delusion becomes more difficult to sustain. For in just a few more weeks, suddenly anyone killing the same baby risks, like Kermit Gosnell, being branded a despicable child-murderer, prosecuted as a criminal and sentenced to life without parole. “Any doctor,” argued Gosnell’s prosecutor, Philly DA Seth Williams, “who cuts into the necks severing the spinal cords of living, breathing babies, who would survive with proper medical attention, is a murderer and a monster.” In a desperate attempt to reconcile these two opposing worlds, we endlessly draw magic lines – arbitrary points before which killing babies is a revered constitutional right, and after which it’s a monstrous crime. We create lots of these artificial lines – from “first trimester,” “second trimester” and “third trimester” to “heartbeat,” “20 weeks” and “viability.” Of course, overshadowing all these magic lines is an even more arbitrary and irrational measure of infant humanity – namely, whether or not the parents want the child! One baby has inestimable value backed by the legal protection of the state solely because the parents want and love it, while another child of identical attributes and age, but whose parents don’t want it, is considered worthless medical waste. Is this not a form of madness? In reality – and every sentient adult knows this – life in the womb is a continuum of growth from the moment of fertilization to the moment of birth. There is no “magic line” before which destroying that life is perfectly fine and after which it is a depraved criminal act. As the Gosnell trial proved, these two warring worlds – the world of love and life versus the world of selfishness and death – inevitably collide somewhere along this continuum. After all, putting aside Gosnell’s unsanitary clinic conditions, “racism” and other unseemly atmospherics, the only major difference between his and other abortionists’ killings was that his were visible – outside the mother where others could see it. Do we really think Gosnell’s “snipping” of infant spinal cords is somehow different or worse than the 11,000 other late-term abortions every year in today’s America? Is “snipping” more inhumane than forcibly ripping apart human babies limb from limb, or chemically burning them alive with intrauterine saline and other lethal chemicals, or – as in the recently outlawed intact dilation and extraction (“partial birth abortion”) procedure, pulling the living baby feet-first into the birth canal, except for the head, stabbing the base of the baby’s skull with surgical scissors, inserting a tube into the wound, sucking out the baby’s brain with a suction machine (causing the skull to collapse) and delivering a now-dead baby? How can we have the gall to express horror at Gosnell’s abortions, but not toward the multitude of other equally abominable but legally sanctioned killings that have scarred and bloodied our nation for more than four decades? Maybe the Gosnell trial was just a convenient catharsis for “pro-choice” Americans, including the “mainstream media,” an opportunity to safely take out their pent-up guilt over abortion on one “bad” doctor without endangering all those “good” abortion clinics they dream exist. Abortion has always been a cosmic collision waiting to happen: In the same society where we are righteously outraged at child murder, we fervently embrace child murder. ‘Sacred ground’ When the world of reality collides with the dream world of desperately held illusions, extraordinary things happen. In the after burn of the Gosnell trial and society’s rare moral condemnation (the “bad doctor” got three life sentences for multiple first-degree murders of babies), both good and evil were mysteriously turbocharged. The Gosnell verdict was handed down May 13, 2013. Just four weeks later, on June 11, the Texas legislature took up consideration of Senate Bill 5, explicitly drafted to prevent the kind of horrors Gosnell had committed by banning abortions past 20 weeks gestation, i.e. late-term abortions. Exceptions for the life and physical health of the mother were included, and public support was strong. However, our once-unified nation has become a place of warring opposites. Where light shines, the darkness also rages – and the brighter the light, the more angry and unhinged the rage grows. Thus, two weeks later on June 25, then-state senator Wendy Davis, a Democrat, engaged in an 11-hour filibuster (wearing a urinary catheter so she could stay the course) to block passage of the late-term abortion bill before the midnight end of the Texas legislative session. The big media (who had just finished condemning Gosnell) loved it, with the Associated Press reporting: “Thousands of people watched it live online, with President Barack Obama at one point tweeting, ‘Something special is happening in Austin tonight.'” With the help of a raucous mob that would not allow representatives to record their votes by the legal deadline of midnight, Davis succeeded in blocking the bill’s passage – for a few weeks, anyway – later parlaying her newfound celebrity into an unsuccessful run for the Texas governorship in 2014. Remarkably, Davis insisted that late-term abortion is, and I quote, “sacred.” In a post-filibuster speech at the National Press Club, she justified her actions to stop the late-term abortion ban by proclaiming, “I’ll seek common ground – we all must – but sometimes you have to take a stand on sacred ground.” In this, Davis was echoing top congressional Democrat Nancy Pelosi, who earlier had referred to abortion as “sacred ground.” While Pelosi called Gosnell’s crimes “reprehensible,” when a reporter asked her “what’s the moral difference” between what Gosnell did to babies born alive and aborting those same infants moments before birth, Pelosi refused to answer, resorting instead to one of her trademark insults to reporters: “I’m not going to have this conversation with you because you obviously have an agenda. You’re not interested in having an answer.” To recap: That which just a month earlier had been universally condemned as “monstrous,” “sickening,” “revolting” and deserving of multiple first-degree murder convictions had now mysteriously become christened as “sacred ground.” But that was just the beginning. After Davis’ filibuster foiled the will of the majority in the Texas legislature, Gov. Rick Perry, vowing his state would not succumb to mob rule, called for a special session the following month to pass the bill into law. What greeted the new legislative session in July was unprecedented. Pro-abortion demonstrations can be hostile, but this was downright freakish. While a pro-life speaker offered her public testimony celebrating life, and others sang “Amazing Grace,” supporters of late-term abortion attempted to drown out the pro-lifers’ hymn-singing by repeatedly chanting “Hail Satan!” as multiple videos document. Then police confiscated bricks, tampons, pads, condoms, urine and feces that pro-abortion protesters allegedly intended to throw at pro-life lawmakers before the final vote on the late-term abortion ban. The Texas Tribune described the surreal scene at the state capital and what the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) was forced to deal with: DPS officials have been searching bags before letting people into the gallery, requiring them to throw away paper goods such as magazines, receipts, feminine pads and tampons. One DPS officer said authorities had been instructed by the Senate’s sergeant at arms to confiscate anything that could be thrown from the gallery at senators on the floor. She said they had already found objects such as bricks, paint and glitter in bags. … DPS officers have thus far discovered one jar suspected to contain urine, 18 jars suspected to contain feces, and three bottles suspected to contain paint. All of these items – as well as significant quantities of feminine hygiene products, glitter and confetti possessed by individuals – were required to be discarded; otherwise those individuals were denied entry into the gallery. Is it a coincidence – just weeks after the nation’s consciousness was penetrated by the searing realization that the cherished magic line between “abortion” and “murdering babies” doesn’t actually exist – that those desperately clinging to such delusions would grow even more frenzied as the truth tended to awaken the American mind? So frenzied that, just a few months later, a Wendy Davis supporter would throw a lit Molotov cocktail at a group of Christian pro-life women praying outside Austin’s Planned Parenthood. Make no mistake, the truth about abortion is dawning – not just due to the Gosnell trial, of course. But because of the relentless advances in medical science, prenatal care and imaging technology such as ultrasound, and because of the tireless work of pro-life groups and individuals continually shining a light on the very dark reality of abortion and providing help to desperate women in need of genuine love and support – and because monumental denial must ultimately, sooner or later, give way to truth. The shell of denial is cracking. During the 1990s, more Americans considered themselves “pro-choice” than “pro-life” by a huge 20-point margin, but today those numbers have largely reversed. As of 2013, repeated Gallup polling showed more Americans identifying as pro-life than pro-choice, and in 2014, a nationwide CNN poll showed Americans continuing to trend pro-life, with 58 percent – almost three in five – espousing pro-life views, i.e., that abortion should be legal under “few” or “no” circumstances. Only 40 percent of Americans say abortion should be “always” or “mostly” legal. Likewise, a quarter century ago, in 1991 there were 2,176 surgical abortion clinics in the U.S. Today, fully three quarters of them are gone, with only 551 remaining (medication-only facilities are down as well), and the decline has accelerated in recent years. All of which demonstrates that when long-suppressed truth is effectively brought out into the sunlight – shining and sparkling for all to see – some people are warmed, comforted, renewed and liberated by it. Others, unfortunately, feel compelled to run away from the light, or worse, attempt to put it out, like the “pro-choice” woman who lobbed the firebomb from her car at the women praying in Austin. Such people are lost in a very bad dream. As Operation Rescue president Troy Newman put it, even a peaceful prayer vigil can sometimes enrage abortion advocates because “it reminds them of the horrible day they took the life of their child.” Indeed, let’s remember this is a national tragedy: Tens of millions of American women have undergone abortions, many of them severely traumatized, some physically, but millions mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Some, in great pain and remorse, face up to what they did and seek forgiveness and healing – and find it from a kind and merciful God. Others, for whatever reasons, go into total denial and defend – sometimes maniacally – what they did, because facing it honestly is not yet something they’re prepared to do.

The Google Gate

By Hal Lindsey

Tucker Carlson of Fox News recently called Google, “The most powerful company in the history of the world.” That’s an amazing statement, but hard to argue with. There are dozens of internet search engines, but Google controls 81% of the market. The internet holds the world’s data, and the world uses Google to access it. Early on, the company promised “unbiased and objective” search results. But Google has a point of view. This month, their biases were exposed to the whole world. It started when Google sent a young engineer, James Damore, to a diversity seminar in China. He later described it as “a lot of just shaming.” On the flight back to the U.S., he wrote a memo about diversity at the company. To its credit, Google encourages employees to speak up in various internal forums. Damore shared his memo with colleagues, and it quickly spread across the company. Then someone leaked it online, and it went viral. The tech industry, particularly in Silicon Valley, is under constant pressure to hire and promote women. But there are fewer female candidates for such jobs than male candidates. Some blame the firms themselves, including Google. Others blame education or residue from a patriarchal past. Damore suggested that one of the contributing factors might be inherent biological differences between males and females. For most people, the idea of differences between the sexes is obvious — not controversial. But, while true, companies have to be careful with that idea. Applied with a broad brush, it can lead to discrimination. So, Damore released a memo saying that Google may not be as guilty of gender-discrimination as the numbers might indicate, or as Google itself seems to believe. Even so, Google fired him. Damore explained the firing like this. “I committed heresy against the Google creed by stating that not all disparities between men and women that we see in the world are the result of discriminatory treatment.” I have a slight difference with him there. He didn’t just commit “heresy against the Google creed.” It was deeper than that. He committed heresy against political correctness. Damore is a really smart guy. A child chess prodigy, he served as a researcher in Biophysics and Systems Biology at MIT, Computational and Mathematical Biology at Harvard, and Computational and Experimental Biology at Princeton. Pete Singer, Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University, wrote, “Damore put forward a view that has reasonable scientific support, and on which it is important to know what the facts are. Why then was he fired?” University of New Mexico psychology professor Geoffrey Miller wrote that Damore got “most of the science right.” Miller also said that Damore showed “pretty good judgment about what we know and what we don't know.” Google stands as the gatekeeper of the world’s knowledge — and it fired a man for merely questioning PC orthodoxy. This shows how deeply the current academic climate has embedded itself into corporate America. Tucker Carlson said he believes the U.S. Congress should take immediate action. “Since it has the power to censor the internet,” Carlson said, “Google should be regulated like the public utility it is, to make sure it doesn’t further distort the free flow of information to the rest of us.” I like Tucker and share his concerns. But his remedy would make things worse, not better. Suddenly, government bureaucrats would become the gatekeepers of knowledge. Regulate Google, and you have to regulate all Internet search companies. There would be no more competition. Government would control them all. Government regulation would give us inferior search engines, and a less free society. Google is the biggest because — for now — they make the best product. If we keep government out of it, a competitor may come along with a better product still. Be that as it may, I’m fascinated that Tucker Carlson, a well-known, small-government conservative would want to concentrate such power in the hands of government. If he, of all people, sees the need for such enormous government reach, it’s easy to see how a future government could step in, and decide what Internet search results are “fair.” But which government? When I said 81% of searches used Google, I didn’t just mean in the United States. I meant in the whole world. How can the U.S. Congress presume to regulate what people in India see when they search the internet? The only way such control could be effective is for it to be global. Imagine the selling points for a global commission regulating internet search results. In addition to “fairness,” they would promise to screen out terrorist propaganda, fake news, misleading ads, and other “dangerous ideas” (including alternative medicine). The internet is a morass of scams and misinformation. The modern terrorist movement thrives because of the internet. A commission with real enforcement powers would promise to change all that — and it would be a powerful step toward a one-world totalitarian, Antichrist-led government. For the Antichrist to rule the world, he must control the World Wide Web — starting, perhaps, with Google.

WATCH LIVE: US Vice President Pence arrives in Israel

Israeli Police warn: No drones during Vice President Pence's visit

Thousands of policemen to be deployed during Pence’s visit

By Udi Shaham January 21, 2018 18:13

This is the first time a high-ranking US official has visited Israel since President Donald Trump declared Jerusalem as Israel's capital in December 2017.  Pence’s visit to Israel is planned to last less than 48 hours, starting on Sunday night and ending on Tuesday evening, in which he will address the Knesset, meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and visit Yad Vashem and the Western Wall. This is the first time a high-ranking US official has visited Israel since President Donald Trump declared Jerusalem as Israel's capital in December 2017, and Pence's first visit as vice president. US Vice President Mike Pence is arriving in Israel Sunday evening in the third stop of his Middle East visit. Police started preparations for the operation several weeks ago. Policemen will be deployed around the area of Jerusalem and the main routes leading to the capital. “There will be a wide-range of police units, including Border Police units, special patrol units, motorcycle units and undercover personnel, which will be in one of the different areas,” he added.

Mossad behind explosion targeting Hamas official in Lebanon?

Arab media report claims Mossad is behind last week's explosion that wounded senior Hamas terrorist in Lebanon.

Tzvi Lev, 21/01/18 09:44

A new report accuses Israel's Mossad Intelligence Agency which handles undercover operations outside Israel of being behind last week’s attempt on the life of senior Hamas official Mohammad Abu Hamza Hamdan. Hamdan was moderately injured in a car explosion in the southern Lebanon city of Sidon and was evacuated to the hospital. According to the Al Akhbar newspaper, Lebanese intelligence has managed to identify the leader of the cell tasked with the assassination as Ahmed Battiya from Amsterdam. The report says that he was recruited by the Mossad in Holland and has since made several trips to Lebanon for the Mossad. The report also claims that the target was Mohammed's brother Osama, a Gaza City native who has been an active Hamas member since 1988. Lebanese intelligence says that Bittiya traveled several times from a town near Beirut to Sidon in order to surveil Hamdan's movements. In addition, the Arab media claims that all Israeli agents fled Sidon after the explosion. After the attack, the Hamas representative in Lebanon pointed an accusing finger at Israel: "The Zionist enemy is the only one who benefits from harming Lebanon's stability, and we must let the Lebanese authorities complete the investigation and reach the criminals." In a separate report, the Al-Miyadin news agency said that sources in the area saw an Israeli plane circling the sky during the explosion. The network also reported that the explosion took place in the parking lot of Hamdan's house, which, according to the network, indicates an assassination operation.  The network added that this was the same location in which Islamic Jihad members, the al-Majdoub brothers, were killed in 2006 in an operation allegedly carried out by Israel. Hezbollah head Hassan Nasrallah also accused Israel of being behind the explosion. “All the signs indicate that Israel carried out the assassination attempt against a Hamas member in Sidon," Nasrallah said in a speech on Friday, according to Israel’s Channel 2 News. However, Israeli officials hinted that the Jewish state was not behind the attack "If we’d been involved, this wouldn’t have ended with him lightly wounded," said Intelligence Minister Yisrael Katz. "Every day in the Middle East there are dozens of explosions that they try and pin on Israel, so let’s not react to this too seriously," added Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman. While the details of the operation are as yet unclear, Hamas has reportedly been seeking to open an active terror front in Lebanon due to Israel's technological advances in rooting out and destroying Hamas attack tunnels in Gaza, removing the terror group's main offensive weapon. On Friday, Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman admitted that Hamas "is currently trying to carry out terrorist attacks across Judea and Samaria, as well as develop new fronts, primarily in southern Lebanon. It wants to use that area to threaten Israel," Lieberman said. "The newfound friendship between top Hamas officials and Hassan Nasrallah is another thing we're monitoring closely. Every development will meet the proper response," Liberman added.

More proof that Francis’ pontificate has been ‘hijacked’ by the ‘Gay Lobby’

January 12, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – The revelations of homoerotic, blasphemous art in the Cathedral of Terni, commissioned in 2006 by Archbishop Paglia, now the head of the dicastery that oversees the St. John Paul II Institute for Studies in Marriage and Family worldwide, had already raised several vital issues that needed to be urgently addressed. The exposition of homoerotic art in Archbishop Paglia’s Cathedral from 2006 left the world asking the important question of how he could ever have been chosen to lead the Pontifical Council for the Family and later the Pontifical Academy for Life and the John Paul II Institute for Studies in Marriage and Family, when he clearly opposes the Church’s teaching on sexual morality. This question in itself requires an inquiry as to the intentions and criteria used within the Vatican for appointments under Pope Francis. Archbishop Paglia’s use of homoerotic art reinforced the earlier views presented to the Vatican by several Catholic mental health professionals, that Archbishop Paglia should be suspended from his responsibilities at the Vatican and be required to undergo a mental health evaluation. This evaluation would correspond to the Dallas charter concerning Sexual Abuse and further required because of his role in the development of the grossly erotic Meeting Point online sex education program when he led the Pontifical Council for the Family. That damaging program for youth is now under review and, hopefully, reform. But Paglia was promoted. Already Public concern about the policies placing Catholic youth at risk of abuse had been intensified by Pope Francis’ restoring to priestly ministry an Italian priest who was laicized by Pope Benedict for homosexually abusing adolescent males. This priest relapsed, homosexually abusing a youth, and was arrested. The rumors of the Vatican being in the clutches of a ‘gay lobby’ seem each day to be further confirmed. Parents will increasingly retire their children from religious-run schools and parochial activities. A sad result of what is billed as ‘compassion’ and ‘mercy.’ The protection of Catholic marriages, families and youth depend upon a correct resolution of these scandals. Even more alarming, however, is the teaching coming out of a series of conferences being held at the Gregorian University on Humanae Vitae. Added to the deviant suggestions made and over-ruled at the Synods on the Family, the same subtle, but insistent, approval for homosexuality is making its way again toward what would seem intended to be acceptance of what was expressed by one speaker, French Jesuit Father Alain Thomasset, as “homosexual relationship[s] lived in stability and fidelity can be a path of holiness” One need not be an expert to see the incremental presentation by Vatican ‘authorities’ of homosexuality as a legitimate use of sexuality, even by priests and religious. Priests recently “come out” are praised by their bishops, further splitting the Church in matters of Christian morality. New evidence of the collusion of privileged prelates and special friends in the priesthood toward the destruction of Catholic moral teaching surfaced in the Gregorian University conference on Humanae Vitae. A certain Father Maurizio Chiodi was allowed to present the entirely heretical theory that objectively evil acts do not exist; that all is subject to the judgment of the individual. On that basis, he went on to declare that “contraception can be a good and even a duty.” It is obvious that, if uncorrected, this is a sign of two important things: A clever strategy to demolish the 2000 years of Catholic morality assembled in Humanae Vitae and Veritatis Splendor, and thereby permit all deviant sexual practices, and Apparent proof that Chapter 8 of Amoris Laetitia does, in fact, contain heretical teaching. Chiodi bases his entire argument in favor of relativism, situation ethics and contraception upon this chapter. There is no other authoritative teaching that would allow him to do this. There is concern worldwide that the Pontificate of Francis has been hijacked by the ‘Gay Lobby’ so discussed of late and that he is manipulated by homosexual prelates. It is time that Pope Francis take a firm stand in favor of Catholic Moral Doctrine, distancing himself from those who favor homosexuality as an alternate form of ‘love’ and from the notion that ‘anything goes, if you feel good about it.’ Editor's note: Christine de Marcellus Vollmer is president of Provive and a former member of the Pontifical Academy for Life as well as the Pontifical Council for the Family.

Syria: Turkish ground troops enter Afrin enclave

21 January 2018

Turkish ground troops have crossed into northern Syria as part of a major offensive to push out Kurdish militia, which Turkey regards as terrorists. The Kurdish group targeted, known as the YPG, is active in the Afrin region, across from Turkey's southern border. It says it has repelled Turkish troops in the area, and retaliated with rocket fire on Turkish border areas. The militia forms a crucial part of a US-backed alliance battling Islamic State (IS) jihadists in Syria. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has vowed to crush the YPG "very quickly", but the US is urging Turkish "restraint" in order to avoid civilian casualties. Why Turkey is targeting Kurdish enclave in Syria Who are the Kurds? Turkey believes the group has links to the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), a banned militant group. The Turkish government has for several months been threatening to clear Kurdish fighters from Afrin and another city, Manbij, some 100km (60 miles) away. What is happening in Afrin? The military operation launched on Saturday, "Olive Branch", is aimed at moving Kurdish forces from Afrin . Plans for the operation were believed to have accelerated when the US announced earlier this month that it would help an anti-IS alliance, formed of these Kurds and ethnic Arab militias, to build a new "border security force" to prevent the return of the jihadists. The YPG and the alliance, called the Syrian Democratic Forces, deny any terrorist links - a claim backed by the US government. On Sunday, Turkish troops accompanied by pro-Turkey rebels from the Free Syrian Army (FSA), began their advance into Syrian territory following dozens of air strikes the previous day. Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said the aim was to establish a 30km (19-mile) "safe zone" deep inside Syria. But a spokesperson for the YPG, Nouri Mahmoudi, said the Turkish troops had been "forced to retreat". Some 25,000 FSA fighters have joined the offensive on the Turkish side, rebel commander Maj Yasser Abdul Rahim told Reuters. It is not clear how many Turkish soldiers are on the ground. Turkey's military said it had hit 45 targets on Sunday, as part of its air and ground campaign. It earlier said dozens of air strikes had taken out 153 targets belonging to Kurdish militants. President Erdogan vowed on Sunday to crush the Kurdish fighters in Syria, as well as the PKK. "Our jets took off and started bombing. And now, the ground operation is under way. Now we see how the YPG... are fleeing in Afrin," he said. He also warned that anyone joining pro-Kurdish protests in Turkey over the operation would pay a "heavy price". Police later dispersed demonstrators in a number of Turkish cities, including Istanbul, and made several arrests. Have there been any casualties? There are reports of fatalities on both sides. The YPG said at least four Turkish soldiers and 10 Syrian rebel fighters supporting them were killed in clashes on Sunday morning, but there has been no confirmation from Turkey. The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Turkish air strikes had killed 11 civilians on Sunday. This follows at least nine deaths in strikes on Saturday - six civilians and three fighters - though Ankara said they were all Kurdish militants. Kurdish rockets also hit the Turkish border towns of Kilis and Reyhanli at the weekend, with casualties reported. Turkey's military has been shelling the Afrin region since Thursday, a move which it said was in response to fire coming from the area. How have key players reacted? Western powers, including the US and France, are urging restraint, and the UN Security Council is due to hold an emergency debate on Monday. "They warned us before they launched the aircraft they were going to do it, in consultation with us. And we are working now on the way ahead," US Defence Secretary Jim Mattis told reporters on Sunday. "We'll work this out," he added. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad condemned the incursion, saying: "The brutal Turkish aggression" on Afrin was part of Ankara's policy of "support for terrorism" in Syria. Russia - a key ally of President Assad - also said it was concerned by the news, and withdrew some of its troops based in the area. Moscow will demand Turkey halt its military operations at the UN meeting, according to Russian senator Frants Klintsevich, who is the deputy chairman of the defence and security committee. Iran, another Syria ally, called for a quick end to the operation "to prevent a deepening of the crisis" in Syria.

5 dead, 6 wounded in Kabul intercontinental hotel attack

More than 100 people, including 16 foreigners, rescued from the hotel

Pakistan conveys solidarity and support with the government and people of Afghanistan

KABUL – Gunmen stormed the Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul at the start of an 11-hour siege that continued into Sunday morning, leaving at least five Afghan civilians dead, officials said. Six other civilians were reported wounded and more than 100 people, including 16 foreigners, have been rescued from the hotel, said Interior Ministry spokesman Najib Danish. The bodies of four attackers were recovered as security forces continued to clear the landmark building. Attackers had taken several hostages in the hotel, according to local Tolo News agency who cited Kabul police. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack. The Intercontinental Hotel is located on a hilltop in Bagh-e Bala area of the city and is heavily guarded because it hosts both Afghan and foreign guests as well as official conferences. It was last attacked by Taliban insurgents in 2011. Twenty-one people were killed including nine attackers. Pakistan condemns terrorist attack The Ministry of Foreign Affair, in a statement issued on Sunday, stated: “Pakistan strongly condemns the brutal terrorist attack at the Inter-Continental Hotel in Kabul. We express deep grief and sorrow at the loss of precious human lives and the injuring of many others in this terrorist act.” “The government and the people of Pakistan convey solidarity and support with the government and people of Afghanistan at this dastardly terrorist attack. We convey our deepest sympathies for those who have lost their loved ones and our sincere prayers and wishes are for early recovery of those who have sustained injuries in this heinous terror attack,” read the statement further. “We reiterate our strong condemnation of terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. In our view, cooperation among the states is important for effectively combating and eliminating the scourge of terrorism,” the statement concluded.

US Deploys Tactical Communications-Scrambling Plane To Korean Peninsula

By Tyler Durden Wed, 01/17/2018 - 21:10

South Korea’s deal to allow North Korean athletes and dignitaries to attend the Winter Olympics in PyeongChang appeared to ease tensions on the peninsula earlier this month. Still, it appears the US air force has been expanding its presence in South Korea. Local media reported Monday that an EC-130H Compass Call aircraft, an advanced plane capable of denial of service attacks on enemy plane’s communication systems, was deployed to South Korea’s Osan Air Force Base by the US Air Force earlier this month. According to Sputnik, it’s unclear why the state-of-the-art tactical aircraft was deployed to the base. Some critics have speculated that it may be used to collect data on North Korea’s military during the Games, which are set to begin Feb. 9. The plane, based at Arizona’s Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, the aircraft reportedly made its way to South Korea after stopping at Japan’s Yokota Air Base.

Another coronal hole on the Sun ejecting solar wind at 1.3 million mph could cause an active volcano to blow causing a year without summer

Photo SDO With the onset of thousands of people evacuated from volcanoes rumbling back to life recently, we should be looking towards our Sun as to why volcanic activity has been so prevalent in the last six months. Although NASA has announced our Sun has reached it's Solar Minimum, the lowest sunspot activity in the Sun's 11-year cycle our Star is far from quiet and is producing massive coronal holes more than ever before. Gaseous solar winds ejected from these coronal holes often hit 800km per second and batter the Earths magnetosphere causing pressure changes on our planet causing quakes and volcanic activity but also coronal holes are also known to influence other aspects here on Earth, they are known to cause problems for animals who rely on the Earth's magnetic field to migrate. The solar wind is also known to cause seizures and migraines in humans and behaviour problems in children and animals. The latest coronal on our Sun is now facing Earth which will cause polar geomagnetic storms this weekend when a stream of fast-moving solar wind is expected to hit Earth's magnetic field around the 20th of January. According to Spaceweather.com, the gaseous material is flowing from a crescent-shaped hole in the sun's atmosphere, shown above in an image based on data from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory will arrive here at speeds of more than 1.3 million mph on the 20th causing a possible G1-class geomagnetic storm. Could one of these storms cause one of these volcanoes to explode? Bali's imminent Mount Agung eruption could cause "A year without summer" bringing Earth's warming back into balance as 100,000 now evacuated 1816 summer temperature anomaly compared to average temperatures from 1971–2000 By Giorgiogp2 - Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0, Link In the spring and summer of 1816, a persistent "dry fog" was observed in parts of the eastern U.S. The fog reddened and dimmed the sunlight, such that sunspots were visible to the naked eye. Neither wind nor rainfall dispersed the "fog". 1800 people froze to death. Crops failed causing food shortages across the globe Severe frosts were recorded in June. In the UK families travelled long distances as refugees begging for food. It was the worst famine in Europe during the 19th century It could be hours away or it could be weeks away, but the Bali governor claims it is imminent and when it blows depending on the size of the eruption, Mount Agung could cause a global cooling, freezing people to death, global crop failures and food shortages across the planet. Global temperatures could decrease by 0.4–0.7 °C (0.7–1.3 °F). This would result in major food shortages across the Northern Hemisphere. The year 1816 is known as the Year Without a Summer also the Poverty Year, the Summer that Never Was, Year There Was No Summer after Mount Tambora erupted in the Dutch East-Indies see Wikipedia link below. An event like this would be a perfect convenient answer to the scientists claiming our planet is too warm, just imagine a decrease of, 0.4–0.7 °C (0.7–1.3 °F) in global temperatures would bring our planet right back into balance regarding global warming. Warnings that a volcano on the Indonesian tourist island of Bali will erupt have sparked an exodus of nearly 100,000 people that is likely to continue to swell, the country's disaster agency said Tuesday. Authorities have ordered the evacuation of villagers living within a high danger zone that in places extends 12 kilometres (7.5 miles) from Mount Agung's crater. But people further away are also leaving, said National Disaster Mitigation Agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho. The region is being rattled daily by hundreds of tremors from the mountain, which volcanologists say indicates a high chance of an eruption. Mount Agung last erupted in 1963, killing about 1,100 people. Evacuees are taking shelter at more than 370 sites across the island that include temporary camps, sport centres, village halls and the houses of friends and relatives. Villager Wayan Merta said he was among the first to evacuate last week because of his village, Selat, is just 6 kilometres (4 miles) from the summit. "We have already sold our cattle because we thought it was better than leaving them there for nothing," he said. "My feeling is the mountain will erupt," he said. "But no one knows, we just pray." Sutopo said it was "natural" that people outside the immediate danger zone are leaving. More than 500,000 people evacuated when Mount Merapi in central Java erupted in 2010, more than double the population in the exclusion zone around that volcano, he said. In 1963, Agung hurled ash as high as 20 kilometres (12 miles) and remained active about a year. Lava travelled 7.5 kilometres (4.7 miles) and ash reached Jakarta, about 1,000 kilometres (620 miles) away. "This is the heaviest test in my life and hopefully it will end soon," said Ketut Suliasih, a Selat villager. She said evacuees are being treated well by the government and community, but like others, she is fearful about the future. "No eruption. That is my prayer. Otherwise, our farms would not be able to be planted again." President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo visited a sports centre serving as temporary accommodation in a district south of the volcano on Tuesday. In a televised news conference, he said "the highest priority is the safety of our people" and urged those around Mount Agung to follow the instructions of authorities. In the Central Java town of Yogyakarta, about 500 people gathered at a Hindu temple to pray for the safety of people near the volcano. They presented traditional offerings and collected money for the evacuees. Bali is the only predominantly Hindu province in Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim country.

Central American colossus Turrialba Volcano is the third Costa Rican volcano to rumble back to life after mag 7.8 quake last week in Honduras

Wednesday, 17 January 2018

On Monday, January 15 at 4:11 a.m. the cameras of the National Seismology Network (RSN) recorded the moment of an eruption at the Turrialba Volcano that lasted for 14 minutes. "Although the visibility was scarce, the surveillance camera of the National Seismology Network located closest to the active crater was able to partially capture the process. It wasn't possible to estimate the height of the eruptive column", states the information posted by Dr. Mauricio Mora from the RSN. The latest report from the National University's Volcanology and Seismology Research Institute (OVSICORI) states that in the past 24 hours the activity in the Turrialba Volcano has been low except in the early hours of this Tuesday when seismic activity was registered between 4 and 4:30 a.m., which coincides with the emanations of ash that were dispersed to the southwest of the volcano. The Rincon de la Vieja Volcano in Guanacaste also registered some low seismic activity as well as the Tenorio Volcano, area that has recently been affected by an earthquake swarm which caused last week the change of coloration of the Rio Celeste River, however, OVSICORI confirms the latest activity hasn't affected the river color again. Last week the Tenorio volcano in Costa Rica was put on alert when a seismic swarm was recorded after the 7.8 magnitude earthquake in Honduras on Monday. The seismic swarm recorded the day after the massive quake hit on the eastern flank of the Tenorio volcano.

Seismic activity beneath Papua New Guinea volcano could indicate major eruption

Seismic activity beneath a Papua New Guinea volcano could mean that a major eruption was imminent, a volcanologist said today. Thousands of people have been evacuated from islands surrounding Kadovar Island off the South Pacific nation's north coast since a volcano there began erupting on January 5, spouting ash. Flights nearby have been cancelled due to the risk posed by ash plumes and ships were warned to stay away from the island. Steve Saunders, principal geodetic surveyor at the Rabaul Volcano Observatory in Papua New Guinea, said seismic activity had recently increased beneath the volcano. "The reason we're getting activity is probably because new magma is moving up from deeper down," Saunders told Australian Broadcasting Corp. Prime Minister Peter O'Neill has said relevant state resources were being made available to support evacuations and he warned northern coastal communities to be alert for possible tsunamis. Kadovar is offshore to the north of New Guinea, the larger island that includes Papua New Guinea's capital, Port Moresby. Aikari Muri, the International Red Cross' disaster risk management logistics officer for Papua New Guinea, said the military had used two boats to completely evacuate the 600 Kadovar residents to the mainland. He could not say whether the evacuations of nearby islands had been completed. Papua New Guinea sits on the "Ring of Fire," a line of seismic faults encircling the Pacific that has frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

Did the World Just Avoid Two False Flag Attempts Designed to Start World War III?

By Dave Hodges

The Trump phenomenon is picking up steam, not just in America, but internationally. Worldwide people are rejecting the globalists. The reason for this phenomenon is because freedom and the subsequent development of an internal locus of control is an innate trait. In a stunning example of this rejection of globalism is exemplified by North and South Korea. Here are two nations, with a common heritage, on the verge of nuclear war with each other, and they have for the time being, rejected the globalist move towards World War III. The two Koreas are going to march together in the Olympics. The two Koreas are going to form on joint olympic hockey team. This is significant beyond belief. In the chaos leading up to WW III, the people and the leadership of the two countries are telling the globalists where to go and what to do when they get they get there. This announcement is a stunning rebuke of globalist goals. It further demonstrates that war is an unnatural act. The Hopis’ have a saying that no tree is so foolish to have branches so stupid to attack themselves. We are the only species on the planet that engages in this insane behavior we call war. The desire for war, especially a war that could wipe out the bulk of humanity is so insane that both North Korea and South Korea have rejected the move. I have one caveat for the wonderful Korean people, beware of false flags at the Olympics because one does not say “no” to the globalists with impunity. Mounting a Defense Against Humanity’s Right to Self-Determination In many ways, Trump’s election was a kind of Magna Carta and a Declaration of Independence all in one fell swoop and now the globalists are trying to find ways to fight back and their efforts are falling on deaf ears. Here in Arizona, Senator Jeff Flake(y), has announced that he is not running for re-election. Why? Because Flake cannot defeat any number of challengers to his seat (eg Sheriff Joe Arpaio and Congresswoman Sinema). Why is Flake so unpopular in Arizona? The answer is painfullly obvious, he opposes Trump’s nationalist agenda of making “America Great Again”. Flake is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He opposes the recovery of the middle class, the wiping out of the free-trade agreements. He is a closet globalist who has gone as far as he can in his political career because the people of Arizona have tagged him a globalist who really hates America. He is politically washed up and now he is exhibiting the two year old tendencies of a temper tantrum in which Flake(y) stated that President Trump’s treatment of the fake news media reminds him of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin. As shocking and disrespectful as these comments were, nobody was paying attention. Flake delivered his comments in an empty chamber of the US Senate. Only two Democrats attended. There can be no question that Flake is trying to draw favor from the globalists as he lives out his final days as Arizona’s junior senator. However, he and his message are rejected and like so many globalists are finding, they and their message of hate and division are being rebuked by humanity, not just by Americans. The populism of Trump is triumphing in America. However, there is not cause for celebration because the globalists are redoubling their efforts against Trump ultimately against humanity. The Globalist State of the Union Message Nobel Prize winning economist Robert Shiller has brought the extremist globalist war against the common man out in the open when he stated that Trump is an avowed “nationalist” who must be stopped at all costs. CNBC one of the waterboys for the New World Order, stated that Shiller says the world’s leaders find it “troublesome” that Trump’s nationalism” was thwarting the rising tide of a globalist takeover. I find it incredible that Schiller put globalism on display for all to see. CNBC quoted Shiller as bemoaning the fact that .“Trump is a revolution unfortunately, who’s reaffirming nationalism…”Shiller stated that Trump’s “nationalist” victories will be short-lived because the Democrats will recapture Congress in the mid-term elections and Trump’s “America First” agenda will be effectively derailed. I am absolutely stunned how open the globalist are now becoming. They are not even hiding their agenda as they have for so many decades. Terms like “conspiracy theorist” no longer carry the punch that they once did. Shiller said Trump’s nationalist agenda is crazy. Apple just announced that they are investing $350 Billion in American plants. This is on the heels of Cadillac making the same kind of announcement as have dozens of “globalist corporations” who are defecting to Trump because they can make more money under the new tax plan than they can under the marxist-socialist policies of the wannabe elite. Conclusions Drawn From Recent Events Shiller issued a threat to all men and women of common means. He stated that upcoming economic forum in Davos will find ways to stunt “the international growth of populism and nationalism that has surged as a result of Brexit and Trump”. I believe that privately, assassination and a coup against the American government will be considered in the side-bar meetings that will take place. I am publicly advising the President to not attend the Davos conference as I believe his life is in extreme danger at this conference. Shiller refers to the Trump phenomenon as a virus that has to be controlled and destroyed. Shiller and a rising number of globalists are openly referring to populism as a threat that must be destroyed by any and all means possible as the planet marches toward globalism. Shiller and the rest of the globalists have openly declared war on humanity. There is no limit to what these people will not do. From the discussions I have had since the Hawaiian so-called fake missile alert, I have concluded that there was a indeed a missile fired at Hawaii in which it is my personal opinion that this was an attempt to provoke the American people into wanting WW III against North Korea. I believe that this missile was brought down and then the coverup started. I have learned that the mechanism of warning of an impending attack is a 5 step process and the excuse that a wrong button was pushed in shift change is ridiculous. The readers may recall that the next day the same thing happened in Japan in which it was revealed that their system mimics the American system and is also a 5 step process before an alert is issued. I believe that what we will find as these two events are unveiled is that two missiles were fired in order to achieve the same end. I believe that this was a false flag attack attempting to frame North Korea for starting World War III. It is also my opinion that this attempted attack was in response to the announcement that the two Koreas are attempting to align along sports, namely, the Olympics. The globalists are desperate to not let this war of planetary unification commence against North Korea. I think it is clear that the world just avoided two attempted false flag events designed to produce World War III. Details are already leaking out and it will not be long until we have more proof to support my hypothesis. There is no question that the events in Hawaii were fabricated. Conclusion We live in perilous times and the fate of every person on this planet could turn in a moment. Please heed the advice of so many take precautions by beomcing indiviudally prepared. As in all recent disasters, the government has proven that they cannot effectively respond to any large-scale crisis, much less a nuclear war or a series of false flag events. The people are finally speaking as one against the insane globalists, the globalists will respond by exterminating humanity if need be. At the end of the day, you can only rely on your family, your level of preparation and your faith in God.

Jerry Seinfeld: ‘What you want in a pancake is to have the consistency of young human flesh’

"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."

Jerry Seinfeld: ‘What you want in a pancake is to have the consistency of young human flesh’

Posted on January 18, 2018 by Dr. Eowyn | 55 Comments

Jerry Seinfeld 'young human flesh' 2014

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee is a web series talk show directed and hosted by actor-comedian Jerry Seinfeld, which premiered on July 19, 2012, on digital network Crackle. In 2018, after nine seasons on Crackle, the show moved to Netflix. Episodes feature Seinfeld introducing a vintage car selected for a guest comedian, followed by a drive to a pre-selected café or restaurant for coffee. Seinfeld’s guest in the last episode of Season 5 of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, which was released on December 18, 2014, was late-night TV talk-show host Jimmy Fallon. Seinfeld took Fallon for breakfast to John’s Pancake House in Montauk, New York. Fallon ordered a plate of pancakes and a side-order of bacon; Seinfeld ordered a plate of bacon and eggs. Seinfeld said to Fallon (1:15 mark in the video below): “What you want in a pancake is to have the consistency of young human flesh. You were the guy with the brightly colored undergarments, and you’ve got soft human flesh in front of you.” Fallon poked his stack of pancakes with his finger, then grinned and laughed, because, you know, cannibalism of little children is just sooo funny.

Good Riddance To Obama – Thank God For Trump

Jan 18, 2018 Read More Articles by Dave Daubenmire

I voted for America’s first legitimate black Presidential candidate Alan Keyes for President…twice. So keep your race card in your pocket. I find a great deal of amusement in watching the Never Trumpers whine about the direction that President Trump is taking us. I find it especially humorous when I think about the radical Marxist that squatted in the White House the previous eight years. Every time I get discouraged I simply reminisce and thank God that Obama is gone. I hear the pundits on the TV pontificate about how Donald trump is so “un presidential” in his actions, but there are millions of folks like me who are ready for some straight shooting from our politicians. I like the crudeness with which President Trump tells me the truth as opposed to the classiness with which President Obama told me lies. I am a big boy. I can handle a bit of harsh truth. I grew up in a locker room. I know what real men sound like. It is good to have a straight-shooter sitting in the oval office. A great number of Americans have been brainwashed by actors. We have actors in politics, actors in the media, and actors in the pulpit. I am so sick of people acting like something they are not. I’m ready for a double-dose of straight shooting. Turn on the TV and you will find non-stop attacks upon President Trump. Amazingly, it comes from both sides of the political spectrum. With all of the assaults upon President Trump it is easy for us to lose perspective. For the most part, Americans have a very short attention span. Well. Not me. I remember very well the mess that was the Obama administration. I remember when President Obama turned up the “race” card with Skip Gates, Trayvon Martin, and the riots in Ferguson Missouri. I cannot forget his role as agitator in chief and how he never missed an opportunity to pick the scabs of the racial divide. In my opinion, his actions were so un-presidential. I remember when President Obama forced socialized medicine down the throats of unsuspecting citizens with his famous double-headed lie “if you like you Dr. you can keep your Dr. and if you like your plan you can keep your plan.” That didn’t seem very presidential to me. How can one forget his flip-flopping on traditional marriage and the lighting of the White House in the colors of the rainbow when the diabolical Oberkfell decision was shoved up the hind ends of God fearing American moms and pops? I remember the smoochy smoochy relationship he had with Planned Parenthood and his unrelenting desire to see as many American babies slaughtered inside their mother’s womb as was possible. He even joked about his own future grandchild being “punishment” to his daughter. I feel my blood pressure rising with every letter I type on this keyboard. He may have “acted” more “presidential” but I am so glad Obama is gone.  I cannot forget the lectures regarding Global warming as he and his wife gallivanted around the world on Air Force One while the rest of the little folks were encouraged to drive electric cars and use incandescent light bulbs. I remember how his policies were designed to spy on average Americans while all of the while refusing to release his college transcripts, birth certificate, and other pertinent documents that might better explain just who this guy was. I remember his Islamaphila and his protection of what he loved to call the “religion of peace.” His affinity went so deep as to make sure never to call a terror attack “Islam terror” but rather “workplace violence.I remember his failure to rescue the four brave Americans in Benghazi and the lies he told to cover up his treasonous plans…as well as his jailing of an unknown Youtube film maker. I remember his Iranian deal which set up his Muslim buds in the Middle East, and his failure to destroy ISIS. I remember his hatred of the 2nd Amendment and his desire to take guns from law-abiding middle-America citizens. I can never forget his doubling of the national debt and how his cut-and-run foreign policy in the Middle East strengthened the hand of his Islamic brethren. Although we all know that our policemen aren’t perfect I will never forget how he did his best to demonize the men in blue and how he accused them of “acting stupidly” when simply doing their duty. I hated how he bowed to foreign leaders and the American apology tour he undertook soon after being elected President. I hated his support for the UN and his love of Globalism which was always causing America to take a back seat on the world stage. I remember the lying media covering for him and the Hollywood deviants fawning all over him…not to mention border security, illegal immigration, free welfare for non-citizens and a cache ‘of other un-American scams that he pulled on the American people. He militarized the Deep State against a duly elected President. He used the IRS as a weapon. President Obama did everything he could to destroy family, marriage, Christian morality, gender, and old fashioned American values. He worked overtime to muddy the idea of right and wrong. He may have been born in America but he certainly was no American. We have yet to find out all of the damage that this anti-American plant did. Aren’t you glad we have an American in the Oval Office? I am so glad Obama is gone.

More than 2,000 flights cancelled as 57 million East Coasters - from Florida to Maine - are hit with snow, ice and freezing cold temperatures

A winter storm has broken off into two branches, one battering the Northeast, and the other bringing show and ice to the South

More than 2,000 flights have been cancelled today, mostly at the nation's largest airport in Atlanta

An estimated 57 million Americans are currently under Winter Storm warnings, from Florida to Maine

The heaviest snow is expected in North Carolina, Virginia and parts of New England

By Associated Press Published: 22:48 EST, 16 January 2018 | Updated: 16:20 EST, 17 January 2018

A winter storm has broken off into two branches, one battering the Northeast, and the other bringing show and ice to the South The South awoke on Wednesday to a two-part Arctic mess. First came a thin blanket of snow and ice, and then came the below-zero wind chills. The snowfall sabotaged morning rush hour even before it began, sending cars crashing into each other on major thoroughfares throughout the region. Officials urged people to stay off the slick roads if possible, and to bundle up and wear layers of clothing if they ventured outside. Ryan Willis, a meteorologist for the National Water Service based in Peachtree City, south of Atlanta, said the forecast called for 1 to 1.5 inches of snow to fall in metropolitan Atlanta through Wednesday morning, with localized higher amounts. Snow also was forecast Wednesday for parts of Alabama, where Gov. Kay Ivey shut down government offices as a precaution. Many schools districts in Louisiana will remain closed for a second straight day Wednesday, as the precipitation gives way to single-digit wind chills that keep icy roads from thawing. The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development announced the closing of Interstate 10 in both directions between Baton Rouge and Lafayette. Steep on and off-ramps as well as elevated roadways are concerns to public safety in icy conditions, it said in a news release Wednesday night. Alek Kroutmann, a National Weather Service meteorologist based in Slidell, Louisiana, said the Baton Rouge forecast calling for a low of 19 degrees Wednesday would fall just shy of the record for that date in Louisiana's capital city: 18 degrees on January 17, 1977. 'It's very close to record low temperatures,' he said. Potentially hazardous wind chills prompted schools to close Tuesday across Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Kansas and Missouri. In Kentucky, multiple crashes Tuesday closed a 10-mile section of Interstate 24 in the western part of the state and blocked southbound lanes of Interstate 65 in the south, including a five-vehicle pileup involving a Greyhound bus that injured multiple people, authorities said. Hundreds of flights were canceled at Texas airports, where frigid temperatures left runways dangerously icy. Forecasters warned mariners along the Texas coast to be on guard for gale-force winds. 'We've got numerous crashes on the interstates and surface roads,' Louisiana State Trooper Glenn Younger said Tuesday morning from Bossier City, Louisiana, just across the Red River from Shreveport. 'You can't see the black ice; it's invisible,' said Younger, who had been driving roads since 5 a.m. Tuesday and could feel the back end of his patrol car begin to slide at times. 'You want to just barely touch the brakes in that situation,' he said. 'A lot of people get scared and they want to jam on the brakes, and that makes it worse.' Ice had coated roads and bridges in 36 of Mississippi's 82 counties, mostly in the northern and central parts of the state, the Mississippi Department of Transportation said in a statement Tuesday morning. Some of the heaviest snow in Mississippi was expected in the state's Delta region, where up to three inches was possible. In Alabama, Gov. Kay Ivey declared a state of emergency meaning schools won't have to make up lost class days. Numerous businesses and government offices closed because of the threat. Alabama officials were trying to avoid a repeat of four years ago, when a winter storm blanketed central Alabama and left motorists stranded on roads in metro Birmingham for hours. Teachers and students camped out in schools. Drivers had a hard time navigating hills around the north Alabama city of Haleyville, where roads quickly turned white Tuesday morning, but there was still plenty of traffic because manufacturing plants that didn't close in advance began dismissing workers, store clerk Rose Payne said. 'It's coming down as snow, but with these cars driving over it looks ice on the ground,' said Payne, who planned to walk home from her job at Friendly Shop if roads got too bad. 'The driveways of businesses are white.'

Chairman of Israel Medical Association and World Medical Association Opposes Mandatory Flu Vaccines for Doctors

by Brian Shilhavy Editor, Health Impact News

In order to get a perspective on sane and rational vaccine policy, we must again turn away from the U.S. corporate media and their primary advertising sponsors, the pharmaceutical industry. The flu vaccine is, by far, the most prosperous vaccine produced and sold in the U.S., with over 300 million doses produced annually. It is also the leading vaccine, by far, injuring and killing people as evidenced by the quarterly Department of Justice (DOJ) reports of vaccine injury and death compensations by the Vaccine Court. As far as we know, Health Impact News is still the only news source publishing settled cases for vaccine injury and death compensations in the national Vaccine Court. In the U.S., one cannot sue a pharmaceutical company for injuries or deaths related to vaccines. By simply reading the U.S. corporate “mainstream” media one is led to believe that all doctors and medical personnel support mass flu vaccination, and believe all medical staff should be forced to receive the flu vaccine every year. But such is not the case. As we have reported over the past several years, many doctors and nurses nationwide oppose mandatory flu vaccination for medical personnel. There are several lawsuits by individuals and unions nationwide fighting loss of employment due to refusing a flu vaccine. Not only are there questions regarding the efficacy of the flu vaccine that would mean un-vaccinated medical personnel present no greater danger to patients than those vaccinated for influenza, there are also serious civil rights issues involved and violations of HIPAA laws in requiring medical facilities to identify who has and has not received a flu vaccine.

There are several lawsuits by individuals and unions nationwide fighting loss of employment due to refusing a flu vaccine. Not only are there questions regarding the efficacy of the flu vaccine that would mean un-vaccinated medical personnel present no greater danger to patients than those vaccinated for influenza, there are also serious civil rights issues involved and violations of HIPAA laws in requiring medical facilities to identify who has and has not received a flu vaccine. Doctors The Jerusalem Post, an apparently pro-vaccine publication, recently reported that Prof. Leonid Eidelman, chairman of the Israel Medical Association and the next president of the World Medical Association, opposes mandatory flu vaccinations for doctors, and he opposes identifying which doctors have been vaccinated for the flu, and which ones have not. IMA chairman Prof. Leonid Eidelman, who is chief of anesthesiology at the Rabin Medical Center-Beilinson Campus in Petah Tikva, told The Jerusalem Post that doctors should not be forced to get the vaccination. “And even if they do voluntarily wear a pin showing they were vaccinated, it doesn’t give a good impression about those who don’t. There is a slippery slope; doctors could be forced to wear pins saying they have HIV or hepatitis C. It would never end.” Eidelman turned down a suggestion from the Health Ministry a few years ago that those doctors who followed the recommendation be allowed to wear a pin or sign saying they were vaccinated. The ministry’s suggestion was aimed not only at informing patients whether their doctors were vaccinated, but also for doctors to serve as an example to patients that they too should go to their health fund community clinic for the annual shot. On Wednesday, he reiterated to the Post that he and the IMA were absolutely opposed to requiring medical staffers to be vaccinated and to the pin idea. Professor Eidelman correctly pointed out that there are no studies proving that patients are being infected with influenza from those who are not vaccinated: Eidelman added that he knew of “no studies showing that patients are infected with the flu by their doctors” or doctors infected by their patients. As for the argument that doctors with such pins would serve as role models for patients who are reluctant to get flu shots, the IMA chief said that is not their job. “It’s a personal decision for everyone, and doctors should not be dictated to.” Asked whether he himself had been vaccinated against the flu this season, Eidelman declined to answer because “this is a political question.” A CDC sponsored meta-study of the flu vaccine and health care workers also reached the conclusion that there was no strong evidence that the flu vaccine given to health care workers offered any protection to patients. Nick Kelley, PhD, research associate for the University of Minnesota’s Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP), said that the new analysis provides a more robust look at HCW flu immunization studies than earlier reviews and includes observational studies that weren’t available at the time. For outcomes that matter the most—lab-confirmed flu and flu hospitalizations—the two meta-analyses (the CDC’s and Cochrane’s) both find low or very low levels of evidence, he said. “We simply don’t have good evidence that vaccination of healthcare personnel prevents influenza transmission to patients,” Kelley said. (Source.) Professor Eidelman’s position, and the position of the Israel Medical Association, and hopefully the position of the World Medical Association when Eidelman takes over leadership later this year (2018), will help protect the rights of doctors world-wide to refuse the dangerous flu vaccine should they so choose. In the United States meanwhile, nurses and doctors nationwide are losing their jobs for their refusal of mandatory flu vaccines. In the video above, Dr. Mark Geier explains the fraud behind the flu vaccine. Dr. Geier is NOT anti-vaccine. He is an M.D. and has a Ph.D. in genetics. He spent 10 years working at the National Institute of Health, and was a professor at Johns Hopkins University as a geneticist. He is also the author of over 150 peer-reviewed publications. He worked on vaccine safety and efficacy for more than 30 years. He was one of four scientists that worked to replace the DTP vaccine, a vaccine that caused every child to become sick with a high fever at the time of vaccination, with the DTaP vaccine, which is a more purified vaccine and causes illness due to fever in only 3% of those vaccinated. In the video above, he explains that the flu shot causes Guillain-Barré Syndrome, and that the flu shot is not very effective in preventing the flu. He also explains that the CDC does not follow the law for vaccines in requiring long-term safety testing for the influenza vaccine like they do with other vaccines, as it is impossible to test a vaccine that changes every year. So the flu vaccine is basically an experimental vaccine that they want to give out to 300 million people every year. There are also no studies showing the safety of giving the flu vaccine to the same person every single year. However, Dr. Geier points out that the CDC is in the business of distributing flu vaccines, because they represent 300 million doses per year, whereas all the childhood vaccines together only number 20 million. Dr. Geier goes on to explain that flu is “the wrong thing to vaccinate against” because you have to keep re-vaccinating against it every year, unlike childhood infectious diseases, such as smallpox, that are only vaccinated for once. Dr. Geier points out how ridiculous it is spend billions of dollars on a vaccine that might, at its best, save about 50 lives a year, when there are far more serious problems causing death that are more worthy of that kind of expenditure.

California's Homeless Problem Revealed In One "Incredible" Video

by Tyler Durden Wed, 01/17/2018 - 22:50

Despite the record stock market and unemployment at 4.1% (despite a December jobs miss), the socialist utopia known as California is home to an ever-sprawling tent city which estimated to contain over 1,000 residents. After a ZeroHedge report last March on the sprawling tent cities, a 10-minute video, dubbed by some as "incredible" has emerged showing the shocking growth of the encampment near Angels Stadium in Anaheim, CA along the Santa Ana river. Locals have become increasingly alarmed by the rapid spread of unregulated squatters and their belongings and their waste. As a cyclist who uses the trail to ride to the beach often, over this last year it has gotten substantially worse. It is unsafe and unsanitary with loose dogs everywhere and human fecal matter scattered on the trail.  The area is disgusting and reeks of trash and feces. He reports that the bike trail, once popular with outdoors enthusiasts and families which runs for miles to beaches along the Pacific Ocean, has become unsafe as miscreants plot assaults and robberies on passing riders, even laying tripwires across the path. -Dan Lyman Domestic Migration As we pointed out last March, California's Democrats aren't just failing the poor people that have been relegated to tent cities (see "Americans Fleeing Expensive, Over-Taxed Metro Areas In Pursuit Of Affordability"). In fact, people of all income brackets are fleeing the state in droves. Not surprisingly, these domestic migrants are flocking to areas with a lower cost of living, lower/no state income taxes, less regulations and higher job growth (aka "Red" states).

Rebuilding The Third Temple Very Soon?

By Ray Gano - January 16, 2018

Last week I wrote about the final generation. I had a number of people ask me about the third temple. What I pointed out in my article is that it started all in May 1948, that was the year that Israel became a nation. That was when I believe that the hour glass was turned over. Slowly the sands of time have been trickling through and I believe that the Jews are going to rebuild their Third Temple in Jerusalem very soon. How do we know that the Jews are going to rebuild the temple? In 2 Thessalonians 2:4 (KJV) “Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped, so that he, as God, sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God…” This is where the Anti-Christ goes into the Temple and defiles it. I believe that we are coming very close to this time and that is if we are living in the Last Days. Matthew 24:34 “Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. “ If one runs that numbers, like I pointed out in my article “2018 – The Generation’s End” then I believe that the building of the temple will have to take place soon. Now, how soon? I have no idea. But I do know that there are talks going on today about the third temple. So how long is it going to take to rebuild the temple? A meeting was held in November 1990 with religious leaders, political leaders, scientists and archaeologist in Israel to discuss the building time of the temple. This meeting was needed in order to work out details for the Oslo 3 treaty talks that will be held in 1996. SPECIAL NOTE – Oslo has been on the table now since 1996, the two parties still have not signed the treaty and they are still haggling over this treaty. We read the following in Daniel Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. Many out there say that the antichrist will create and “sigh” a peace treaty. As you can see he does not do that. He CONFIRMS a covenant / treaty. To “confirm” means that the treaty is in place and it just needs to be acted upon. Oslo treaty has never been taken off the table. It just has not been fully accepted yet. According to the study done for the Oslo treaty, the time determined to rebuild the Temple was 1-2 years. This does not include all the ornamental work that would be needed, this is just to get the temple up. An alter will be raised somewhere west of the temple construction site to start daily sacrifices. Once the priests resume daily sacrifices, the construction of the Temple itself will begin. The site for the Jewish temples of the past has been the Temple Mount, but there is a problem… The Dome of the Rock is there. We all know that the friction between the Jews and the Muslims has gotten worse rather than better. Seeing things in that light, it will probably take the diplomatic skills of the Antichrist to make development of this temple to come about. There is also another key aspect and that the organization “The Temple Institute” has already been preparing some of the vessels to be used in the next temple, and they have been training priests in their use. The Temple Institute believes that the next temple is to be built in the VERY near future. Location On the Temple Mount there are NO archaeological digs going on because the Muslims will not permit it. But extensive excavations have been made around the outer perimeter of the area and under the Temple Mount site. In this light, Scientist, Scholars and Archaeologist have come up with 3 main theories/sites as to where the Temple should be rebuilt. The 3 Proposed Temple Site locations are: * Southern Site, placing the Holy of Holies over the Al Kas Foundation. (Bagatti Theory) * Traditional Site, placing the Holy of Holies over the As-Sakhara (Dome of the Rock) * Northern Site, placing the Holy of Holies over the Dome of the Tablets/Spirits (Kaufman Theory) The theory that I will look at in this article is the Northern site or referred to as the Kaufman theory. I hope to look into the other theories in later issues. In 1969 there was some Arab construction work going on around the Dome of the Rock. A man by the name of Dr. Ze’ev Yeivin (now deputy director of the Department of Antiquities) happened upon this Arab construction site and made some drawings of an exposed ancient wall near the Dome of the Rock. Sense you cannot have archaeological digs up there, this was a very important find. In the Early 70’s a man named Asher Kaufman published a very interesting theory. After studying evidence proposed by a Dr.Bagatti (His theories are for a Southern Site) and other evidences, Asher Kaufman identified the section of this wall, seen by Dr. Yeivin, as the eastern wall of the Temple’s Court of the Women. Based on ALL these different works from Bagatti and other Archaeologist and the records left by the British studies from a 100 years ago, Kaufman concluded that the site of the Temple was at the northwest corner. He determined that the east-west line aligning the Mount of Olives and with the Eastern Gate and the Temple exactly bisect on this small cupola. He noted that the bedrock inside the cupola is the only such bedrock appearing on the temple mount, it sticks up from the surface. The rest of the area around the Dome of the Rock has been paved. Now is this the “Even Shetiyyah” (Foundation stone) that protruded in the ancient Holy of Holies? Furthermore, a passage from the Mishneh Torah by Rambam quotes Jewish Talmudic writings from the times before the Temple in 70 AD being destroyed. Eyewitness declare that the Temple was not built in the center of the temple mount (location where the Dome of the Rock is) Rambam states that” the Temple Courtyard was not situated directly in the center of the Temple Mount. Rather, it was set off farther from the southern wall of the Temple Mount that from the wall of any other direction” The reason is because worshipers would normally enter and exit from the southern Hulda Gate. The people needed room to congregate on that area. Rambam continues to quote sources that declare that the Temple itself was situated directly opposite the Eastern Gate in the northern part of the Temple Mount. (1) ” These five gates were placed in a strait-line” from the Eastern Gate into the entrance hall of the Holy of Holies. These gates were as follows” the Eastern Gate, the gate of Chayl, the gate of the Women’s Courtyard, the gate of Nicanor and the gate of the entrance hall. So if the temple was built on flat ground, one would have been able to see through all the gates at once” (Mishneh Torah, Commentary Halachah 5 and 6) (1) Over a century ago there were some archaeological digs conducted by the British, these digs and surveys produced some other very relevant new discoveries. When this evidence is looked at in conjunction with Kaufman’s, the pieces start to fit. Of importance was a particular rock mass near the Northern steps leading up to a small Muslim Cupola on the Temple Mount. NOTE – A person standing on the Mount of Olives can look over the Eastern Gate into a huge area north of the Dome of the Rock. If you give this person a surveyor’s laser, it would cut right through the Eastern Gate (if it was not sealed) and through the center of this small cupola or known by the name of the Dome of the Spirits / Tablets. Another point to look at while discussing this stone, which Kaufman believe is the Foundation Stone (Even Shetiyyah). The stone in Dome of the Spirits / Tablets. is very pitted, this detail also agrees with a 4th century pilgrim of Bordeaux who calls in his accounts the “Pierced Stone” because of its numerous imprints of the hobnailed of Soldiers. Further importance about this stone is the name of this site, Dome of the Spirits/Tablets. Arabic titles often preserve original place names. Were these dual titles reminiscent of the Divine Presence that accompanied the Ark and the tablets of the law stored within it which once rested in the Holy of Holies? Looking at all these sources, information and the writing from the Mishneh Torah and a bit of triangulation we can see that the Temple could have very well been located where Mr. Kaufman believes, and that is over Dome of the Spirits / Tablets. Now one last point of evidence. Knowing the measurements of the Holy of Holies, all the courtyards and walls, and working your way from the center out from the Dome of the Spirits / Tablets, the Dome of the Rock falls within the courtyard of the Gentiles Do you realize that this falls right in line with what we read in Revelation? Revelation 11:1-2 I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the alter, and count the worshipers there. But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles.” Many of us have read this before, but in this light, you can see how prophecy could come to pass with the Kaufman theory. This is the only theory that enables the Jews to rebuild the Temple TODAY! The only thing that needs to be done is the negotiations. In 1996, like I stated earlier, are the Oslo 3 discussions regarding Jerusalem. It is in my opinion that Israel has given up so much land to the Arabs and have not gotten anything back in return of substance for this land. At this time, I believe that they will pull this ace out from under their sleeve and demand the rebuilding of the Temple and to share the temple mount, all in the name of peace.

January 18, 2018 by SkyWatch Editor

Norway and the European Union announced on Wednesday they will convene an “extraordinary session” at the end of the month to push the “two-state solution” to end the Israel-Palestinian Arab conflict. The meeting will be held in Brussels on January 31, according to the announcement. “There is an urgent need to bring all parties together to discuss measures to speed up efforts that can underpin a negotiated two-state solution,” the statement said. “Furthermore it is necessary to enable the Palestinian Authority to execute full control over Gaza.” The session follows U.S. President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital last month. The European Union rejected Trump’s move… (READ MORE) etc. and the news story continues..

Jerusalem: Recognizing Reality

By Hal Lindsey

On Wednesday, President Trump formally recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. He also announced a beginning of the process to move the U.S. Embassy there. That process will take at least three years, and probably much more. He also endorsed the so-called “two-state solution” as the framework for peace with the Palestinians… as long as both sides agree to it. He did not specify anything regarding future boundaries of Jerusalem, or whether it should be split. He said those decisions need to be made as part of negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. Israel itself has claimed Jerusalem as its capital since the time of King David. Modern Israel was first recognized as a nation in 1948. It took possession of West Jerusalem that year. But because of the ongoing war, it made Tel Aviv its temporary capital. The next year, David Ben-Gurion, Israel’s first Prime Minister, said, “For the State of Israel there has always been and always will be one capital only — Jerusalem the Eternal. Thus it was 3,000 years ago — and thus it will be, we believe, until the end of time.” Listening to the media, you would think President Trump’s decision is outside mainstream U.S. diplomatic orthodoxy. But that not true. No U.S. president ever pulled the trigger on the move, but as candidates, several of them were for it. Despite them taking that position, it was never a significant point of controversy in any presidential election. Congress passed a law in 1995 saying that Jerusalem should “remain an undivided city” and “be recognized as the capital of the State of Israel.” The law allowed presidents to postpone the move, but they had to do so every six months. Until now, that’s what they have all done. The leader of Senate Democrats, Chuck Schumer, urged President Trump to move the embassy. “As someone who strongly believes that Jerusalem is the undivided capital of Israel,” he said, “I am calling for the U.S. Embassy in Israel to be relocated to Jerusalem.” The President did not go that far. He said nothing about Jerusalem being “undivided.” Nevertheless, his decision has been criticized by leaders around the world, including in the United States. California Senator Diane Feinstein wrote to Trump saying, “Recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital — or relocating our embassy to Jerusalem — will spark violence and embolden extremists on both sides of this debate.” She said such a move would “undermine any remaining hope for a two-state solution.” A Palestinian general delegate to the United Kingdom said that to declare Jerusalem the capital of Israel is like “declaring war.” Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas warned that there will be “dangerous consequences.” The Palestinian terrorist group, Hamas, called for three “days of rage,” starting Wednesday, but making Friday the main day. The State Department warned U.S. embassies around the world to be on alert following the announcement. It also issued a warning to U.S. travelers in Israel. “Hostilities between the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and terrorist groups, including Hamas, in the Gaza Strip could resume and the security situation could deteriorate with little or no notice.” Turkey’s President Erdogan said Jerusalem is a “redline” for Muslims. He said the move would be a violation of international law, and that, “This could go as far as cutting our diplomatic relations with Israel.” President Trump argued that his action is “recognition of reality.” He pointed out that all the major institutions of the Israeli government, including the Knesset, are located in Jerusalem. Nations put embassies in the capitals of other nations because they want their ambassadors close to the center of power. In Israel, that’s Jerusalem. Through the years, proposed peace plans from the United Nations, the U.S., and Europe, have always allowed Israel to keep at least part of Jerusalem. Israel says that Jerusalem is its capital. Since the Israelis will be staying in Jerusalem under any of these plans, why does the world not allow Israel to choose its own capital? From a secular, diplomatic prospective, the President’s move makes sense to me. Israel is the one great democracy of the Middle East, and America’s most faithful ally. The Israelis — not a bunch of European elites — should decide the location of Israel’s capital. But I’m not a diplomat. I’m a preacher of the Gospel and a student of scripture. I look at this from another angle. In Genesis 12:3, God said to Abraham (then still named “Abram”), “I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse.” (NASB) “God Bless America” is a prayer. One of the actions that must accompany that prayer is for America to continue to bless Israel.

ATLANTA

Snow, ice and a record-breaking blast of cold closed runways, highways, schools and government offices across the South and sent cars sliding off roads Wednesday in a corner of the country ill-equipped to deal with wintry weather. At least 10 people died, including a baby in a car that plunged off an overpass into a Louisiana canal. Icicles hung from a statue of jazz musicians in normally balmy New Orleans, and drivers unaccustomed to ice spun their wheels across Atlanta, which was brought to a near-standstill by little more than an inch of snow. The beach in Biloxi, Miss., got a light coating. And the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill canceled classes as the storm unloaded at least 8 inches of snow in Durham and Greensboro. The storm turned the morning rush hour treacherous, though many people heeded warnings to stay off the roads. Even the best drivers had trouble: Retired NASCAR champion Dale Earnhardt Jr. tweeted he had just used his winch to help pull a car out of a ditch when he drove off the road and into a tree in North Carolina. Thousands of schoolchildren and teachers got the day off. Many cities canceled meetings and court proceedings, and some businesses closed. Slippery runways and the need to de-ice planes forced cancellations and delays in New Orleans; Memphis, Tenn.; and Raleigh-Durham, N.C. Electricity usage surged to record highs as people struggled to keep warm. At least four people died in Louisiana, including a man who was knocked off an elevated portion of Interstate 10 in New Orleans when a pickup spun out of control on ice, and an 8-month-old baby in a car that slid into a canal in New Orleans. The baby’s mother was in critical condition.

Eritrean Christian Refused to Renounce Faith Even Through 13 Years of Suffering in Prison

By Stoyan Zaimov , Christian Post Reporter | Jan 17, 2018 10:07 AM

An Eritrean Christian has opened up about the 13 years of suffering he underwent for his faith in prison, including being punished for months at a time in a confined cell where he could not even stretch his limbs. Despite the suffering, he refused time and time again to renounce his faith. World Watch Monitor reported on Tuesday that Shiden first came to faith in his late teens, despite the country's hostile treatment of evangelical Christians. He joined military service at the age of 22, but was caught during a secret worship meeting with other Christians. From there he was moved to prison camps where he was made to suffer under harsh conditions, such as no sanitation, with guards taunting him and telling him to renounce his Christianity. He answered back, however: "I won't leave the faith because I believe it and I live by what I believe. I served this country faithfully and honestly during my military service. When you sent me to work in the field, I did that without complaining. But my belief is my personal belief, and you have to respect that. But if you don't, then I am willing to pay for it." Later he was given two sheets of paper by prison officials, and asked to choose whether he believes in Jesus or not. Once again he stuck by his faith and told officials he was willing to pay the consequences, which is when he was moved to the general prison in Barentu, where he would spend the next 10 years. "He was often put in solitary confinement for six months at a time, staying in a very small cell where he couldn't stretch out his arms or even stand up straight," the report describes. At one point he was moved back to national service, but guards discovered sections of the Bible in his possession, which again had him sent to solitary confinement for a period of three months. "During that time he saw no-one. Once a day, a cup of tea and a slice of bread were put through a gap in the door . He had no idea if anyone even knew what state he was in. He said it was a horrifying experience and that, to make it worse, just beforehand he had heard that some friends had managed to escape and cross the border," World Watch Monitor said. Even after his release from prison after 13 years, Shiden continues suffering from the trauma of what he experienced, and with so much of his young adult life spent behind bars, he has missed out on education and job opportunities. Although some officially recognized churches are allowed to operate in the African country, the targeting and persecution of Christians there is so severe that it is ranked at No. 6 on Open Doors USA's 2018 World Watch List of nations. In some cases last year, entire evangelical families, including children, were arrested by officials. "Since May of this year, nearly 200 Christians have been arrested. The interesting thing about this — they have shifted tactics ... Instead of just raiding church services or Bible studies, now the government is going to the homes of Christians, and they're arresting the whole family," Todd Nettleton of Voice of the Martyrs USA told Mission Network News in December. "Even children have been put under arrest if they're part of a Christian family," he added.

RAF fighters intercept two Russian bombers near UK airspace

Typhoons escort pair of Tu-160s flying over North Sea

Ewen MacAskill Defence correspondent Mon 15 Jan 2018 08.01 EST

The RAF has been scrambled to intercept two long-range Russian bombers over the North Sea. The Tupolev Tu-160s, known to Nato as Blackjacks, were monitored on Monday as they flew past Norway and Denmark and near the Netherlands. Two Typhoon jets from RAF Lossiemouth picked them up about 30 miles (48km) from UK airspace and escorted them. Both Russia and Nato, including Britain, routinely test reactions with such sorties, sometimes flying almost up to the boundaries of each other’s airspace. Blackjacks make flights close to UK airspace about eight to nine times a year. Russian fighters tend not to use transponders, which alert other aircraft to their presence, and this policy can create problems for civilian planes in the area. The RAF escort is partly to alert other aircraft to the Russian presence. Despite an increase in diplomatic tension between Moscow and the west, the number of such sorties by Russia towards UK airspace has not increased. However, there has been a rise in activity by Russia around the Baltic states, where the RAF is also deployed. An RAF spokesman said: “The Russian aircraft were initially monitored by a variety of friendly nation fighters and subsequently intercepted by the RAF in the North Sea. At no point did the Russian aircraft enter sovereign UK airspace.”

Dude, Where’s My Satellite? Success, Failure of ‘Zuma’ Shrouded in Secrecy

REUTERS/ Mike Brown US 03:03 13.01.2018(updated 03:30 13.01.2018)

The Pentagon has refused to comment on the status of the secretive Zuma spacecraft, which was launched by SpaceX last Sunday but failed to reach orbit, according to multiple reports. Bloomberg News and the Wall Street Journal report that the Northrop Grumman-produced payload did not achieve success, citing unnamed officials. The government has not disclosed whether the project was overseen by the Defense Department or one of the intelligence agencies. When asked about the status of the billion-dollar project that may have disappeared for good, a Pentagon spokesman refused to comment, leading to a combative back-and-forth at the Pentagon's press room. "I'd have to refer you to SpaceX, who conducted the launch," DoD spokeswoman Dana White said Thursday in response to a question about whether the project succeeded or failed, according to Military.com's account of the event. "This is a billion-dollar satellite. It's been four days. Was it a success or failure, and what's the fate of the satellite?" inquired Bloomberg's Tony Capaccio. "We're not going to give you any more information," US Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Kenneth McKenzie replied. "Accountability is one of your keystones here. [Defense] secretary [James] Mattis said this repeatedly. I'm asking you from an accountability standpoint. Can you give us a sense of whether you consider it a success or a failure as a mission?" the Bloomberg reporter continued. The Pentagon again told reporters to ask SpaceX about the project, but Capaccio wasn't satisfied. "But you're the government. You paid for it. You're the overseers. And you're asking us to go to the company who may have been partially responsible for the problem? That doesn't make any sense," he said. For its part, SpaceX denied all culpability in the mission's possible failure. "Falcon 9 did everything correctly on Sunday night. If we or others find otherwise based on further review, we will report it immediately," a statement from the private space company reads. "Information published that is contrary to this statement is categorically false. Due to the classified nature of the payload, no further comment is possible," SpaceX said. Northrop Grumman also evaded attempts to get some answers. "This is a classified mission. We cannot comment on classified missions," a Northrop spokesperson said in a statement to the Verge January 9.

Russia’s nuclear underwater drone is real and in the Nuclear Posture Review

By: Valerie Insinna

WASHINGTON — A draft of the Pentagon’s Nuclear Posture Review confirms the existence of an underwater nuclear drone made and operated by Russia, a capability the U.S. Defense Department had not previously publicly acknowledged. “In addition to modernizing ‘legacy’ Soviet nuclear systems, Russia is developing and deploying new nuclear warheads and launchers,” stated an unclassified draft of the nuclear posture review first published by the Huffington Post. “These efforts include multiple upgrades for every leg of the Russian nuclear triad of strategic bombers, sea-based missiles and land-based missiles. Russia is also developing at least two new intercontinental range systems, a hypersonic glide vehicle and a new intercontinental, nuclear-armed undersea autonomous torpedo.” A chart laying out Russian nuclear delivery vehicles developed over the past decade spells out the capability yet again, including a small illustration for an “AUV,” or autonomous underwater vehicle, called Status-6. The black and white graphic posted by the Huffington Post makes it difficult to see whether the capability has been deployed. However, the Russian undersea drone — which is nicknamed “Kanyon” by the Pentagon and goes by the full name Ocean Multipurpose System Status-6 — has been tested at least once. On Nov. 27, 2016, U.S. intelligence detected Status-6 after it was launched from a Sarov-class submarine used to test and validate new tech, the Washington Free Beacon reported in December 2016, citing unnamed Pentagon sources. Russian reports indicate it could be outfitted with a 100-megaton nuclear warhead. Status-6 was built by Rubin Design Bureau, the largest of Russia’s three submarine manufacturers. According to a document shown on Russian television, the drone has a range of 6,200 miles, a top speed in excess of 56 knots and can descend to depths of 3,280 feet below sea level, the Beacon reported. It was designed to be launched from at least two different classes of nuclear submarines, including the Oscar-class, which can carry four Status-6 drones at a time. The nuclear posture review reaffirms the United States’ commitment to the nuclear triad — or the country’s inventory of ballistic missile submarines, ICBMs and nuclear-capable bombers — but offers no sign that the Pentagon is interested in developing unmanned undersea vehicles capable of delivering a nuclear weapon. However, it has been widely speculated that the Air Force’s newest bomber, the B-21 currently under development, could be optionally manned. While the final draft of the Nuclear Posture Review could remove references to the Status-6 program, it appears the Pentagon confirmed the existence of the weapon as a way to illustrate what it sees as major advantage of the Russian nuclear weapons program: its diversity. The review notes that Russia is increasing the number of platforms that could be equipped either with a nuclear or conventional payload, allowing it to expand its nuclear arsenal without violating the New START treaty. It is also developing a ground-launched cruise missile and has multiple classes of nuclear submarines and varieties of ICBMs and air-launched cruise missiles. The United States is concerned about Russia’s continued development of “increasingly diverse and expanding nuclear capabilities,” especially coupled with Moscow’s perception that it could conduct a nuclear attack as a way to “ ’de-escalate’ a conflict on terms favorable to Russia,” the review stated. “These mistaken perceptions increase the prospect for dangerous miscalculation and escalation.”

Panic spreads after girl, 9, dies of new eye-bleeding fever feared to be even more dangerous than the Black Death

The girl died of the viral disease in Uganda, sparking fears of a fresh health crisis

A health team rushed to put her body in a bag and decontaminate her house

It is feared the disease could kill up to 40 per cent of those infected by it

By Tim Stickings For Mailonline Published: 07:54 EST, 14 January 2018 | Updated: 13:29 EST, 14 January 2018

Fears are growing of a major health crisis in East Africa as a girl died of a suspected fever which could be more deadly than the Black Death. A nine-year-old girl died in central Uganda with the symptoms of an eye-bleeding disease which it is thought could kill up to 40 per cent of those infected by it. The feared outbreak comes only months after hundreds of people were killed by the plague in Madagascar in what was described as the worst bout for 50 years. The symptoms of the new disease include headaches, bleeding, vomiting, diarrhoea and muscle pains, according to the Daily Star Sunday. A health team is reported to have rushed to disinfect the girl's house and put her in a body bag after she died in the Nakaseke District of central Uganda. A relative of the dead girl said that the family had been left in the dark about burial arrangements while health officials rushed to contain the disease. Three people were earlier reported to have died in South Sudan last week of a similar viral fever. The medieval Black Death, caused by the bubonic plague, killed around 100million people in Europe after reaching the continent in 1347. The plague has largely vanished in Western countries and can be treated with antibiotics, but still kills a few people every year in the United States.

American Psychiatric Association warns left-wing psychiatrists to stop “diagnosing” President Trump without a medical examination… a total violation of medical ethics

Sunday, January 14, 2018 by: Ethan Huff

(Natural News) In the wake of the mainstream media’s glorious failure to conjure up enough fake news about President Trump’s alleged ties to Russia to get him impeached, the official narrative has now shifted to claiming that the billionaire businessman is mentally ill, and thus unfit for office. But the American Psychiatric Association (APA) has issued a formal notice warning that “armchair” psychiatrists who comment publicly about the president’s cognitive status without having conducted an official medical examination are in blatant violation of the medical ethics provisions that they pledged to uphold when first getting licensed. The APA’s announcement points to the ethical principle known as “The Goldwater Rule” in condemning those psychiatrists who have taken it upon themselves to issue fake diagnoses about the president on cable news appearances, in books, and on social media. The APA says that using psychiatry as a “political tool” in this way represents a gross “misuse of psychiatry and is unacceptable and unethical.” “The ethical principle, in place since 1973, guides physician members of the APA to refrain from publicly issuing professional medical opinions about individuals that they have not personally evaluated in a professional setting or context,” the announcement explains. “Doing otherwise undermines the credibility and integrity of the profession and the physician-patient relationship. Although APA’s ethical guidelines can only be enforced against APA members, we urge all psychiatrists, regardless of membership, to abide by this guidance in respect of our patients and our profession.” Should Trump-hating doctors who issue fake diagnoses about the president lose their medical licenses? The announcement was prompted in part by private meetings that reportedly took place between Bandy Lee, an Ivy League psychiatrist from the Yale School of Medicine, and various members of Congress. Since at least December, Lee has been whispering in the ears of our nation’s representatives her opinions on the president’s mental status, which even the left-leaning The Atlantic admitted is more “the stuff of crazed conspiracy theories” than what one would expect so-called “professionals” to be doing in actual reality. But it’s President Trump we’re talking about here, which means what would have formerly been considered off the rails is now everyday life for the masses of triggered liberals who simply can’t accept that he’s their president – which include what in a past era would have been considered “medical professionals.” But there’s nothing professional about how many of these licensed doctors are engaging in the public debate, hence why the APA has issued a stern rebuttal against this growing wave of highly unprofessional temper tantrum-throwing. “A proper psychiatric evaluation requires more than a review of television appearances, tweets, and public comments,” the APA further explains, adding that the president will soon be receiving his annual physical examination in which proper standards will be followed in accurately assessing his physical and mental state. “Psychiatrists are medical doctors; evaluating mental illness is no less thorough than diagnosing diabetes or heart disease. The standards in our profession require review of medical and psychiatric history and records and a complete examination of mental status. Often collateral information from family members or individuals who know the person well is included, with permission from the patient.” Just in case this latest fake narrative about the president’s alleged mental illness fails just like the Russian “election meddling” propaganda did, there’s always “Trump is a racist” to fall back on. The fake news media outlet The Washington Post has already begun spreading unfounded rumors that President Trump recently made unsavory and vulgar comments about Haiti and Africa, which the president has since denied saying.

Go behind the scenes at an underground community in the Australian Outback

Jan. 15, 2018 at 1:05 AM Jillian Wolf TODAY

The Jan. 14 edition of Sunday TODAY featured a story on Coober Pedy, Australia, a remote town where opal mining and underground dugouts make for a community that's like no other. Below, Sunday TODAY producer Jillian Wolf takes us behind the scenes and explains what it was like to visit this town in the outback. The record-breaking cold temperatures in New York City had the Australian in me dreaming of a winter escape. So when I shared a story during our weekly pitch meeting about a small town in Australia where almost all of the residents beat the heat by living underground, I was ecstatic to get the green light! Coober Pedy is located in the heart of the Australian Outback, about 525 miles from the nearest city. Getting there from any major Australian city, let alone from the U.S., is a feat in and of itself. Its desolate, moon-like landscape has been the backdrop for many films, including "Mad Max" and "Pitch Black." Our cinematographer, Marcus, flew from Sydney to Alice Springs and then drove across the desert for about eight hours to get to Coober Pedy. As he arrived, a massive storm rolled over the tiny town. The drone footage he captured of the storm ended up being a key element in the story that aired on Sunday TODAY. Correspondent Sara James and I met at the airport in Adelaide, located in South Australia, and after a couple of adventurous flights that included a casual "propeller failure" before takeoff and a beyond-bouncy landing, we made it to Coober Pedy. Coober Pedy is home to the world’s largest supply of opals. The name comes from the Aboriginal term kupa piti, which means "white man in a hole." Fittingly, it refers to both the miners who work underground and those who choose to live underground. Ever since the first opal was discovered there, in 1915, people have come from all corners of the globe in hopes of striking it rich. It’s a place where you can become a millionaire overnight. According to the locals, your chances are better than winning the lottery. But you can also miss the opal — and your chance at wealth — by as little as an inch. The temperature in Coober Pedy can soar to 115 degrees, and water is a commodity. To deal with the extreme heat, residents live in dugouts, which are homes excavated into hillsides, where the temperature inside remains a comfortable 65 to 75 degrees year-round. Dugouts aren’t limited to homes. You'll also find an underground bar, bookstore and beauty salon, as well as numerous churches, cafes, restaurants and hotels. Coober Pedy is a transient town. Some residents stay for decades, while others stay for years or even months. But with a population of around 2,000 people, representing more than 40 nationalities, you’re bound to come across some colorful characters. Sonja Chiechi and her husband, Edi, are Swedish. They run an Airbnb inside their dugout, featuring beautiful interior design. Edi was kind enough to walk us through a typical home expansion. Many of the residents draw comparisons between this town and the Wild Wild West. Sabrina Platzer, manager of the Umoona Opal Mine and Museum, told us that when the town recently celebrated its 100th birthday, the police station celebrated its 50th. That means there was no law and order for half a century! You can only imagine what it would have been like, she explains. Sam Kambouris grew up in Coober Pedy. She moved to Adelaide to receive her education and eventually returned to manage The Lookout Cave Underground Motel. Her father, who now works at the hotel, was a miner in the '70s and '80s, the heyday for opal mining. Shelley Wells started her own underground beauty salon when friends complained they had to travel at least 500 miles for the nearest mani-pedi. Her business may well be one of the only underground salons in the world. In Coober Pedy, she says, you have to be a jack of all trades. With opal having so much to do with luck, many of the town's residents balance multiple jobs to get by. Platzer says opals come in all sizes and colors, but the biggest money these days is for fossils encased in opal. One miner recently discovered the backbone of a squid, she says, which sold for $1.2 million. You don’t need to find much to get rich, she laughs. While we may not have left Coober Pedy a million dollars richer, we did leave with a wealth of knowledge and stories that will never grow old.

These Are The 10 Companies That Dominate the Global Arms Trade

by Tyler Durden Sun, 01/14/2018 - 23:30

The world puts $1.69 trillion towards military expenditures per year, and about $375 billion of that goes towards buying arms specifically. Whether it is guns, tanks, jets, missiles, or ships that are on your shopping list, in the international arms community, as Visual Capitalist's Jeff Desjardin notes, there is a supplier for any weapon your country desires. The 10 Companies That Dominate the Global Arms Trade The Chart of the Week is a weekly Visual Capitalist feature on Fridays. The world puts $1.69 trillion towards military expenditures per year, and about $375 billion of that goes towards buying arms specifically. Whether it is guns, tanks, jets, missiles, or ships that are on your shopping list, in the international arms community, there is a supplier for any weapon your country desires. Arms dealers, by sales Today’s chart organizes the world’s top arms companies by sales, location, and arms as a percentage of sales:

Rank Company Country Arms sales (2016) Arms as % of sales

#1 Lockheed Martin USA $40.8B 86%

#2 Boeing USA $29.5B 31%

#3 Raytheon USA $22.9B 95%

#4 BAE Systems UK $22.8B 95%

#5 Northrop Grumman USA $21.4B 87%

#6 General Dynamics USA $19.2B 61%

#7 Airbus Group EU $12.5B 17%

#8 BAE Systems (U.S.) USA $9.3B 93%

#9 L3 Technologies USA $8.9B 85%

#10 Leonardo Italy $8.5B 64%

Note: Airbus considers itself a European company. It’s registered in the Netherlands, and its main HQ is in France. The above data comes courtesy of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), which tracks arms deals and companies extensively. USA, USA! While it is common knowledge that the United States plays a big role in the global arms trade, the numbers are still quite astounding. Of the top ten companies by sales, firms based in the U.S. make up seven of them. That includes the clear #1, Lockheed Martin, which had $40.8 billion in arms-related sales in 2016, as well as the remaining constituents of the top three: Boeing and Raytheon. Further, on SIPRI’s wider top 100 list, a good proxy for total arms sales globally, U.S. defense companies accounted for a whopping 58% of total global arms sales. That adds up to $217.2 billion in 2016, a 4.0% rise over the previous year. Rounding Out the Top 10 Only three companies make the top 10 leaderboard from outside of the United States. That group includes Airbus, the massive European commercial airline manufacturer that gets 17% of its sales from arms-related deals, as well as BAE Systems (U.K.) and Leonardo (Italy). As a final caveat, it’s worth mentioning that SIPRI notes that some Chinese companies would likely make its Top 100 list as well – but for now, the list excludes Chinese companies as the available data is not comparable or accurate.

US scientist who inspected North Korea’s nuclear facility warns they have up to 60 bombs as fellow expert says Trump is underestimating Kim Jong-un

Sig Hecker was in charge of designing nuclear weapons for America for 11 years

He was invited to look around North Korea's secret nuclear complex in Yongbyon

Here, Hecker handled plutonium which had been extracted at the weapons base

It is now estimated the Yongbyon plant has developed up to 60 nuclear weapons

By Gareth Davies For Mailonline Published: 07:56 EST, 15 January 2018 | Updated: 12:31 EST, 15 January 2018

An American scientist who has seen the North Korean nuclear secrets claims Kim Jong-un is not bluffing and that the White House should be concerned. Dr Sig Hecker, who was once in charge of designing nuclear weapons for the US, was shown around the hermit kingdom seven times and each time was given access to confidential information. The doctor, who the North Koreans knew would feed the information back to his bosses in America, held plutonium extracted at a secret complex in Yongbyon. Combined with the country's massive stock of uranium, it is estimated Kim Jong-un's army has between 30 and 60 nuclear weapons at its disposal, according to Hecker. Experts now believe Pyongyang has a better understanding of Washington than the other way around, which could be a stumbling block for Donald Trump. Hecker told CBS: 'I was immensely surprised by how much they showed me and with the openness with which they showed and explained that to me.' He had been director of the Los Alamos National Laboratory - more commonly known as the birthplace of the American atomic bomb - for 11 years. In 2004, he was invited for his first tour of Yongbyon, and he has returned six times since. It was here he was given North Korean plutonium to hold - a heavy, radioactive metal encased in a glass jar. The moment Hecker physically testified to the isolated nation's nuclear might, the balance in Washington shifted. 'It changed from one of "we don't know exactly what they have, if they have enough to make anything" to the fact that they actually could have four to six bombs,' he said. The complex continues to be monitored by satellites orbiting above the country, and 14 years later it is thought the number of weapons has increased by at least five-fold. Expert Robert Carlin, who has been studying North Korea for four decades, told CBS: 'I think they understand us better than we understand them. We're still weighed down with a lot of stereotypes and they're going to trip us up.' When Hecker returned in 2010, he was invited into a different part of the nuclear base where 2,000 modern centrifuges were lined up. It is thought they were manifesting uranium, ready to be used for another type of chemical bomb. By now, the building which Hecker was given access to has doubled in size meaning it could be holding up to 10,000 centrifuges, according to director of the Institute for Science and International Security David Albright. Given the rate of development, he estimates North Korea has 13 to 30 nuclear weapons. Hecker believes this figure could be as high as 60, and that more worrying was the fact that they could be built as small disco-ball-type bombs, capable of being fitted to a missile. Although the technology isn't yet there to merge the two, the expert doesn't think the hermit kingdom is too far away . He told CBS: 'They're going to get there, you know, that's, that's one thing you can count on. 'We've tried to sanction them into submission. They've not submitted. They just keep testing and keep evolving.'

The Strange Case Of The Falling Dollar – And What It Means For Gold

Saturday, 13 January 2018 06:09 Brandon Smith

This article was written by Brandon Smith and originally published at Birch Gold Group Trillions of dollars in uncontrolled central bank stimulus and years of artificially low interest rates have poisoned every aspect of our financial system. Nothing functions as it used to. In fact, many markets actually move in the exact opposite manner as they did before the debt crisis began in 2008. The most obvious example has been stocks, which have enjoyed the most historic bull market ever despite all fundamental data being contrary to a healthy economy. With a so far endless supply of cheap fiat from the Federal Reserve (among other central banks), as well as near zero interest overnight loans, everyone in the economic world was wondering where all the cash was flowing to. It certainly wasn’t going into the pockets of the average citizen. Instead, we find that the real benefactors of central bank support has been the already mega-rich as the wealth gap widens beyond all reason. Furthermore, it is clear that central bank stimulus is the primary culprit behind the magical equities rally that SEEMS to be invincible. To illustrate this correlation, one can compare the rise of the Fed’s balance sheet to the rise of the S&P 500 and see they match up almost exactly. Coincidence? I think not… Another strangely behaving market factor that has gone mostly unnoticed has been the Dollar index (DXY). Beginning after the global financial crisis in 2008, the dollar’s value in reference to other foreign currencies initially moved in a rather predictable manner; collapsing in the face of unprecedented bailout and stimulus programs by the Fed, which required unlimited fiat creation from thin air. Naturally, commodities responded to fill the void in wealth protection and exploded in price. Oil markets in particular, which are priced only in the US dollar (something that is quickly changing today), nearly quadrupled. Gold witnessed a historic run, edging toward $2,000. In the past few years, central banks have initiated a coordinated tightening policy, first by tapering QE, then raising interest rates, and now by decreasing their balance sheets. I would note that while oil and many other commodities plummeted in relative value to the dollar after tightening measures, gold has actually maintained a strong market presence, and has remained one of the best performing investments in recent years. Something rather odd, however, has been happening with the dollar… Normally, Fed tightening policies should cause an ever-increasing boost to the dollar index. Instead, the dollar is facing a swift plunge not seen since 2003. What is going on here? Well, there are a number of factors at play. First, we have a growing international sentiment against US treasury bonds (debt), which may be affecting overall demand for the dollar, and in turn, dollar value. For example, one can see a relatively steady decline in US treasury holdings by Japan and China over the course of 2016, with China being the most aggressive in its move away from US debt: We also have a subtle, yet increasing, international appetite for an alternative world reserve currency. The dollar has enjoyed decades of protection from the effects of fiat printing as the world reserve, but numerous countries including Russia, China, and Saudi Arabia are moving to bilateral trade agreements which cut out the US dollar as a mechanism. This will eventually trigger an avalanche of dollars flooding into the US from overseas, as they are no longer needed to execute cross-border trade. And, in turn the dollar will continue to fall in relative value to other currencies. There is also the issue of coordinated fiscal tightening by central banks around the world, with the ECB and even Japan moving to cut off stimulus measures and QE. What this means is, other currencies will now be appreciating in terms of Forex market value against the dollar, and in turn, the dollar index will decline further. Unless the Federal Reserve acts more aggressively in its interest rate hikes, the dollar's decline will be brutal. Finally, we also have the issue of nearly a decade of Fed stimulus that has gone without audit (except for the limited TARP audit, which shows tens of trillions in money/debt creation). We truly have no idea how much fiat was actually created by the Fed – but we can guess that it was a massive sum according to the seemingly endless rise in equities from a point of near total breakdown, funded by quantitative easing and stock buybacks. You cannot conjure a market rebound merely with debt. Eventually, that currency creation and the consequences will have to set a foot down somewhere, and it is possible that we are witnessing the results first in the dollar, as well as the Treasury yield curve, which is now flattening faster than it did just before the stock market crash in 2008. A flat yield curve is generally a portent of economic recession. I believe that this is just the beginning of troubles for the dollar and for US bonds. Which raises the question, how will the Fed react to a dollar market that is so far completely ignoring their tightening policies? Here is where things get interesting. Throughout 2017, I warned that the Fed would continue to raise interest rates (despite many people arguing to the contrary) and would eventually find an excuse to increase rates much faster than previously stated in their dot plots. I based this prediction on the fact that the Fed is clearly moving to pop the enormous fiscal bubble it has engineered since 2008, and that they plan do this while Donald Trump is in office (whether or not Trump is aware of this plan is hard to say). Trump has already taken credit on several occasions for the epic stock rally, and thus, when the plug is pulled on equities life support, who do you think will get the blame? Definitely not the banking elites who inflated the bubble in the first place. Even the mainstream financial media has admitted at times that Trump will “regret” his campaign demands that the Fed hike rates and stop pumping up stock markets, as he will be inheriting a fiscal punch in the gut. The Fed, as well as the mainstream, have also planted the notion that the Fed “will be forced” to raise interest rates faster if the Trump Administration pursues its plans for Hoover-style infrastructure development. But, on top of this, the “problem” of the falling dollar also introduces a whole new rationale for speedy interest rate hikes. I believe that soon after Janet Yellen leaves as Fed chair and Jerome Powell transitions in, the Fed will begin an exponential increase in rates and will speed up their balance sheet reductions. And, they will blame the unusual decline in the dollar index as well as falling Treasury demand as the cause for more extreme action. Powell has already backed “gradual rate hikes” in 2018, and, a few members of the Fed expressed a need for “faster hikes” in the minutes of the last meeting in December. I predict this sentiment will expand under Powell. A small number of Wall Street economists are also warning of more rate hikes in 2018, and that this could cause considerable shock to the virtual stock rally in play right now. That might be the Fed’s plan. The central bankers need a scapegoat for the eventual bursting of the market bubble that they have produced. Why not simply allow that bubble to finally implode in the near term, blaming the Trump administration and, by extension, all the conservatives that supported him? To do this, the Fed needs an excuse to hike rates swiftly; and they now have that excuse with the dollar dropping like a stone (among other reasons). But how will this affect gold? So far, gold has actually spiked along with Fed rate increases, which might seem counter intuitive, but so is the dollar falling along with rate increases. I do think that there will be an initial and marginal drop in gold prices if the Fed increases the frequency of rate hakes. That said, eventually reality will set into stock markets that the party is over, the punch bowl is being taken away, and Trump’s tax reform will not be enough to offset the loss of access to trillions in cheap fiat dollars from the central bank. Once stocks begin to collapse in the wake of Fed hikes and balance sheet reductions (and they will), and uncertainty in the fate of the dollar swells, gold will bounce back stronger than ever. In the meantime, I would treat any drop in precious metals as a major buying opportunity. Gold is one of the few assets that always does well during times of crisis.

Pax Crypto: Russia Proposes First Multinational Cryptocurrency, Expert Blog

By Selva Ozelli JAN 13, 2018

At the end of the 12th century, unexpectedly, Genghis Khan created the world’s largest empire, gaining control over the trade route “the Silk Road” which stretched across China to Eastern Europe. Secured under Mongolian leadership, during the Pax Mongolica period, the Silk Road was particularly safe from raiders as well as taxes, which stimulated free trade between China and the Mediterranean countries enabling political, economic stability to follow. Pax Crypto Recently the Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed a cyber-initiative grander in scale than Pax Mongolica after consulting with Ethereum co-founder Blockchain expert Vitalik Buterin and experts from fifteen other countries- including the US, India, Israel, Armenia and Turkey- about their Blockchain and cryptocurrency initiatives. Putin’s first of it’s kind cyber-initiative will connect some of the most promising emerging market economies stretching across Asia, Eastern Europe, Africa and South America, via Blockchain and smart contract technology by using a new multinational cryptocurrency to be collectively adopted by the BRICS and the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) countries (Member States). Member States, known for their tremendous economic growth potential, could hail this first of its kind cyber-initiative. As they have been reeling from the global credit crisis of 2007/2008, which hindered their economies. Federal rate increases augmented their mounting debt burdens and falling global commodity prices stymied their export led growth. The cyber-initiative could reshape Member State economies, by spurring technological innovation for income growth and economic prosperity. Russia’s proposal- first multinational cryptocurrency for BRICS and EEU As reported by Russian media source RT, days before the end of 2017, the Central Bank of Russia, proposed to create the first joint multinational cryptocurrency for BRICS and EEU countries. By jointly adopting a new cryptocurrency, the Member States could increase their investments in Blockchain, smart contract technology pushing towards creating cashless societies and improve managing their liquidities with substantial support from the New Development Bank. Many economists, veteran bankers and traditional financial institutions have sought to downplay the influence of cryptocurrencies in the overall world economy, such as the German insurance giant Allianz Chief Economic Advisor Mohamed El-Erian who said: ‘‘Bitcoin’s price will explode, but mass adoption is not going to happen.” But if adopted and implemented, the first multinational cryptocurrency could be used by more than 41 percent of the world’s population. It could potentially improve trade efficiency among the Member States by replacing other fiat currencies used in trade settlements. And it could create a technologically resourceful trade block that could reshape global trade via Blockchain and smart contract technology. However, for this initiative to succeed, among other things, Member State transnational legislation concerning cryptocurrencies would need to be updated in a synchronized fashion. As currently there are substantial differences between Member State legislation concerning cryptocurrencies as summarized in the table below. Russia’s new cryptocurrency bill Based on instructions from President Vladimir Putin, Russia’s central bank and finance ministry jointly prepared a bill for the regulation of сryptocurrencies and ICOs which was submitted to the Duma for approval on Dec. 28, 2017. The bill is expected to be adopted in March and finalized by July 1, 2018. Characterization of cryptocurrencies The bill characterizes cryptocurrency, including ICO tokens not as legal tender but as “other property.” ICO Regulation The bill allows for ICOs but establishes restrictions on them. Those who are not qualified investors will be able to purchase tokens of a certain type for an amount not exceeding 50 thousand Rubles ($869). The ministry also suggests limiting the maximum amount of funds raised by an ICO to one bln Rubles ($17.4 mln). Although the President of the Russian Association of cryptocurrency and Blockchain (RABIC), Yuri Pripachkin, argued: “ICO fundraising should not be limited as they can attract an unlimited amount of foreign investments to Russian projects.” Taxation of cryptocurrency mining and trading Presently mining and trading of cryptocurrencies is not regulated under Russian laws. The bill defines cryptocurrency mining and trading as a taxable activity. Individual entrepreneurs and legal entities could engage in cryptocurrency mining and trading activities, subject to tax by analogy with the taxation of business activities. Cryptocurrency trading would not be subject to a value-added tax (VAT). Cross-border tax policy of Member States concerning the new Multinational cryptocurrency The bill does not address cross-border tax rules that could apply to transnational cryptocurrency transactions among Member States in the event the new multinational cryptocurrency is adopted. Member States, with the exception of Armenia, Belarus, Iran and Kyrgyzstan adhere to OECD BEPS action plan. It is not clear whether Member States will follow an approach similar to the EU in formulating an appropriate transnational tax policy for their new multinational сryptocurrency transactions.

Why We've Let Actors Become Our Moral Guides

Jonah Goldberg · Jan. 12, 2018

There’s a great scene in the wonderful 1982 movie “My Favorite Year,” which is set in 1954. Peter O'Toole plays a semi-washed-up actor named Alan Swann, famous for swashbuckling roles. For reasons too complicated to explain here, Swann tries to shimmy down the side of a building using a fire hose. He ends up dangling just below a cocktail party on a balcony. Two stockbrokers are chatting when one of them notices Swann swinging below them. “I think Alan Swann is beneath us!” he exclaims. The second stockbroker replies: “Of course he’s beneath us. He’s an actor.” It may be hard for some people to get the joke these days, but for most of human history, actors were considered low-class. They were akin to carnies, grifters, hookers and other riffraff. In ancient Rome, actors were often slaves. In feudal Japan, Kabuki actors were sometimes available to the theatergoers as prostitutesa practice not uncommon among theater troupes in the American Wild West. In 17th century England, France and America, theaters were widely considered dens of iniquity, turpitude and crapulence. Under Oliver Cromwell’s Puritan dictatorship, the theaters were forced to close to improve moral hygiene. The Puritans of New England did likewise. A ban on theaters in Connecticut imposed in 1800 stayed on the books until 1952. Partly out of a desire develop a wartime economy, partly out of disdain for the grubbiness of the stage, the first Continental Congress in 1774 proclaimed, “We will, in our several stations … discountenance and discourage every species of extravagance and dissipation, especially all horse-racing, and all kinds of gaming, cock-fighting, exhibitions of shews [sic], plays, and other expensive diversions and entertainments …” Needless to say, times have changed. And I suppose I have to say they’ve changed for the better. But that’s a pretty low bar. I don’t think acting is a dishonorable profession, and I’m steadfastly opposed to banning plays, musicals, movies and TV shows. But in our collective effort to correct the social stigmas of the past, can anyone deny that we’ve overshot the mark? Watch the TV series “Inside the Actors Studio” sometime. It’s an almost religious spectacle of ecstatic obsequiousness and shameless sycophancy. Host James Lipton acts like some ancient Greek priest given an audience with Zeus, coming up just shy of washing the feet of actors with tears of orgiastic joy. I mean, I like Tom Hanks, too. But I’m not sure starring in “Turner & Hooch” (one of my favorite movies) bestows oracular moral authority. Similarly, to watch the endless stream of award shows for Hollywood titans is to subject yourself to a narcissistic spectacle of collective self-worship. In 2006, George Clooney gave an (undeserved) Oscar acceptance speech in which he said, “We are a little bit out of touch in Hollywood every once in a while, I think. It’s probably a good thing.” He went on to deliver a semi-fictional though no doubt sincere account of how actors are like a secular priesthood prodding America to do better. The most recent Golden Globes ceremony has already been excoriated for being a veritable geyser of hypocritical effluvia, as the same crowd that not long ago bowed and scraped to serial harasser and accused rapist Harvey Weinstein, admitted child rapist Roman Polanski and that modern Caligula, Bill Clinton, congratulated itself for its own moral superiority. The interesting question is: Why have movie stars and other celebrities become an aristocracy of secular demigods? It seems to me an objective fact that virtually any other group of professionals plucked at random from the Statistical Abstract of the United States — nuclear engineers, plumbers, grocers, etc. — are more likely to model decent moral behavior in their everyday lives. Indeed, it is a bizarre inconsistency in the cartoonishly liberal ideology of Hollywood that the only super-rich people in America reflexively assumed to be morally superior are people who pretend to be other people for a living. I think part of the answer has to do with the receding of religion from public life. As a culture, we’ve elevated “authenticity” to a new form of moral authority. We look to our feelings for guidance. Actors, as a class, are feelings merchants. While they may indeed be “out of touch” with the rest of America from time to time, actors are adept at being in touch with their feelings. And for some unfathomably stupid reason, we now think that puts us beneath them.

Hamas Approaches Endgame in Gaza as Israel Sharpens Its Tunnel-elimination Prowess

Either way, Israel will keep building an anti-tunnel barrier along the Gaza border while looking for and destroying passages that have already been dug

Amos Harel Jan 15, 2018 10:33 AM

The destruction of the Hamas tunnel on the Gaza border Saturday night supports the conclusion that Israel has found a defense against the threat of attack tunnels under the Strip. Even if the defense isn’t perfect, it’s pretty effective. The tunnel that was identified and blown up over the weekend near the Kerem Shalom crossing, near where Egypt, Israel and Gaza meet, is reportedly the fourth to be found by Israel since October. To really understand the Middle East - subscribe to Haaretz  The latest tunnel demolition worsens Hamas’ dilemma on how it should act as Israel gradually deprives it of one of its main offensive assets. The finding of the latest tunnel isn’t directly related to the barrier that Israel has been putting up along the Gaza border. Saturday’s tunnel was found in an area where work on the barrier hasn’t yet begun. But the combination of technology, intelligence and operational means, along with the planned completion of most of the security barrier by year-end, show that the clock is ticking for Hamas and Islamic Jihad. (The first tunnel destroyed belonged to the smaller Islamic Jihad.) As Hamas leaders’ would view them, the tunnels are a strategic project in which hundreds of millions of shekels have been invested over nearly a decade, involving thousands of laborers and fighters. And now all this may be going down the drain. At this point, Hamas hasn’t responded clearly to Israel’s steps. Also, Hamas members haven’t been directly involved in the firing of rockets from Gaza at the Negev, some of which have been launched by Salafi groups and some by Islamic Jihad. Hamas’ decision not to respond to the destruction of the tunnels also apparently reflects the trap the organization finds itself in. It’s having a hard time seeing to the economic needs of the 2 million Gazans, it has a poor relationship with Egypt, and implementation of the Hamas-Palestinian Authority reconciliation agreement is sputtering. This time the embarrassment is even greater because Israel has announced that some of the latest tunnel was under Egyptian territory. And the consequences for Hamas are greater than usual. Not only has the group’s planned offensive activity under the border and under the Kerem Shalom crossing — the main goods crossing into the Strip no less, along with pipelines supplying natural gas and diesel — been uncovered. This time the tunnel reflects an intrusion into the sovereignty of Egypt, which Hamas is greatly dependent on in its efforts to improve conditions in Gaza. One can assume that the Israeli army is also prepared for a possible attack by a Palestinian group through a tunnel before other tunnels are discovered and destroyed. Regarding the latest tunnel, Hamas claimed that the air force had bombed a “civilian” tunnel that had been used for smuggling goods, rather than a Hamas tunnel. In Israel, officials insisted that the tunnel had been dug with the help of Hamas’ elite Nukhba unit, and that the tunnel had a branch under the border crossing — evidence of plans for a terror attack inside Israel. Israel’s excavations toward the Egyptian border may uncover plans to smuggle weapons from Sinai into Gaza or to get terrorists out of Gazaif necessary to have them reinforce an attack on the Kerem Shalom crossing from the Egyptian side of the border. For years the Palestinian groups have viewed the crossings as legitimate and even desirable targets for terror attacks, despite the possible negative effects for Gazans. There is also a history of suicide bombings and the use of tunnels against the Erez, Karni and Kerem Shalom crossings between Gaza and Israel dating back a decade. The stepped-up pace of Israeli army activity regarding Gaza is evidence of the efforts to deal with the tunnels, efforts that are far from over. In any event, Israel’s priorities in Gaza are clear. The main effort is building a barrier along the border to counter the tunnels, while looking for and destroying tunnels that have already been dug. In addition to concerns about a humanitarian disaster in Gaza, dealing with the tunnels is another constraint in Israel’s considerations over whether to get into another large confrontation with Hamas in Gaza. Depriving Hamas of the offensive weapon of the tunnels is such a priority that Israel’s leaders are willing to show relative restraint over rocket fire from Gaza, as long as there are no casualties on the Israeli side. This also comes against the backdrop, according to foreign reports, of Israeli operations against Iran and Hezbollah in Syria. In the north, this effort involves going right to the edge, with a relatively high risk of an outbreak of hostilities. Israel must therefore be cautious in calculating its moves so it can keep chalking up successes and avoid a conflagration on both fronts. Amos Harel Haaretz Correspondent

Bombshell Report: Obama Betrayed Israel, Tipped Off Iranians of Assassination Plot

If Iran’s chief export is terrorism, then it’s leading terrorism tycoon is Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani. As the Islamic Revolutionary Guards al-Quds Force commander, Soleimani is a facilitator of war crimes throughout the Middle East, and national defense experts warn that, “After Osama bin Laden, he has more American blood on his hand than any terrorist.” Despite his vile nature and tyrannical track record, Gen. Soleimani is alive and adding to his countless kill streak today because of the actions of one man: former President Barack Obama. According to the Kuwaiti daily Al-Jarida, the Obama administration warned Soleimani of an impending attack from Israeli assassins, prolonging the life of a terrorist mastermind over political differences with Israel and a desire to pass the 2015 nuclear accord with Iran. Iranian mole The Iranian Quds Force is the expeditionary wing of the elite Republican Guard, providing military support to a compendium of internationally designated terrorist groups, including Hezbollah, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command, and even the Taliban. Foundation for Democracy in Iran Executive Director Kenneth R. Timmerman described the beneficiary of Obama’s intervention in a scathing profile for The Washington Times. Regarding Soleimani as a future household name in America, Timmerman wrote: He is powerful. He is brash. He brazenly shows up on the battlefield to encourage his troops. In Iraq, he has become the maker of prime ministers and governments, and commands a militia of 100,000 men. To his innocent victims, he is the face of Terror, Inc. As head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps-Quds Force (IRGC-QF), Qassem Suleymani is Iran’s top terrorist.” Despite this defamatory description, Obama chose to spare Soleimani in 2015 by informing him that Israel was planning to assassinate him near Damascus, Syria. etc.

Syria war: Turkey denounces US 'terror army' plan for border

6 hours ago

Key powers involved in Syria's civil war have criticised US plans to help an allied Kurdish-led militia set up a 30,000-strong "border security force". Turkey's president vowed to "suffocate" efforts to begin training members of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and create what he called a "terror army". Ankara considers Kurds fighting for the SDF to be part of a terrorist group. Syria's government decried the "blatant attack" on its sovereignty, and Russia warned it could lead to partition. With the help of air strikes from a US-led coalition, the SDF has captured tens of thousands of square kilometres of territory from Islamic State (IS) militants. In October, the alliance took full control of the northern city of Raqqa, the de facto capital of the "caliphate" declared by the jihadist group in 2014. Since then, SDF fighters have been advancing south-eastwards along the Euphrates river valley. Why is the US creating the border force? News of the coalition's plan to work with the SDF to train a new Syrian Border Security Force (BSF) was first reported on Saturday by The Defense Post, which quoted a spokesman as saying that 230 individuals were currently participating in the "inaugural class". The coalition said on Monday that its goal was to create a force with about 30,000 personnel "over the next several years". About half will be Kurdish and Arab SDF fighters and the other half new recruits. The BSF will be tasked with securing the long sections of Syria's northern border with Turkey and eastern border with Iraq that are under SDF control, as well as parts of the Euphrates river valley, which effectively serves as the dividing line between the SDF and Syrian pro-government forces. "A strong border security force will prohibit Daesh's freedom of movement and deny the transportation of illicit materials," the coalition said, using a different term for IS. "This will enable the Syrian people to establish effective local, representative governance and reclaim their land." Who are the Kurds? IS and the crisis in Iraq and Syria in maps Why is Turkey concerned? Turkey has consistently opposed the coalition's support for the SDF because the force is dominated by the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) militia. Ankara considers the YPG an extension of the banned Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which has fought for Kurdish autonomy in Turkey for three decades. Washington disagrees and insists the YPG has been vital to the battle against IS. On Monday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the US had acknowledged it was "in the process of creating a terror army on our border". "It is for us to suffocate this terror army before it is born," he said. Mr Erdogan added that preparations were complete for a Turkish military operation against the Kurdish enclave of Afrin in north-western Syria, and that it might start "at any moment". Troops deployed at the border were already hitting YPG positions inside Afrin with heavy artillery, he noted. What do other countries say? The Syrian government called the creation of the SDF border force "a blatant attack on the sovereignty and territorial integrity and unity of Syria, and a flagrant violation of international law". "What the American administration has done comes in the context of its destructive policy in the region to fragment countries... and impedes any solutions to the crises," an official at the foreign ministry was cited as saying by the Sana news agency. The source warned that Damascus considered any Syrian fighting for militias sponsored by the US to be "a traitor to their people and nation". Russia, which backs the Syrian government, said the US move might lead to the "break-up of a large territory along the border with Turkey and Iraq". "This is a very serious issue that raises concerns that a path towards the partition of Syria has been taken," Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.

Philippines Raises Volcano Alert Level After Lava Flow

Jan. 13, 2018, at 10:16 a.m. By Enrico Dela Cruz

MANILA (Reuters) - The Philippines raised the alert level at its rumbling Mayon volcano to "level 3" on Sunday after detecting lava flow and indications of activity that could lead to eruptions of magma. More than 900 families have been evacuated from villages near Mayon, a tourist attraction because of its near-perfect cone shape, following a "steam-driven eruption" on Saturday. Authorities advised people to cover their noses and mouths with a damp, clean cloth or dust mask if they were exposed to ash from the eruptions, and said aircraft must avoid flying close to the volcano's summit.[nL4N1P807T] Two similar "phreatic" eruptions occurred at the volcano in central Albay province on Sunday, unleashing more ash. "Mayon's summit crater is now exhibiting bright crater glow that signifies the growth of a new lava dome and beginnings of lava flow towards the southern slopes," the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said. Phivolcs chief Renato Solidum said the volcano appeared due for another major eruption as it has been displaying abnormal behaviour since late last year. "Alert level 3 is what we considered critical, 4 is when eruption is imminent, and 5 is eruption in progress," Cedric Daep, head of the Albay Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, said in a radio interview. Mayon's most destructive eruption was in February 1841, when lava buried a town and killed 1,200 people. It last erupted in 2014, spewing lava and forcing thousands of people to evacuate. The latest eruptions began on Saturday, unleashing ash, rocks and sulphur fumes and accompanied by rumbling sounds. Phivolcs had earlier raised the alert to "level 2", saying the activity was "probably of magmatic origin, which could lead to more phreatic eruptions or eventually to hazardous magmatic eruptions." Since Saturday's first eruption, Phivolcs said it had recorded 158 rockfall events and urged people to stay away from a 6-kilometre (3.7 mile) radius Permanent Danger Zone and a 7-km Expanded Danger Zone on the volcano's southern flank. Landslides and sudden explosions or a dome collapse that may generate hazardous volcanic flows are also possible, it said. People within the slope of the volcano, but outside the danger zones, were told to take precautionary measures against possible roof collapses due to accumulated ash and rainwater, and "lahar", an Indonesian term for a volcanic mudflow. And the provincial government suspended Monday's classes from kindergarten to senior high school in some areas.

First-Ever Drone Swarm Attack Has Struck Russian Military Bases, Sources Claim

We knew this day was coming.

PETER DOCKRILL 11 JAN 2018

Ever since technological advancements made drones possible, people have warned of the potential dangers of weaponised UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles), which could effectively become murderous slaughterbots we need to defend ourselves against. Now, it looks like those fears have become a reality. The Russian Ministry of Defence claims its forces in Syria were attacked a week ago by a swarm of home-made drones – the first time such a coordinated assault has been reported in a military action. According to the Ministry of Defence, Russian forces at the Khmeimim air base and Tartus naval facility "successfully warded off a terrorist attack with massive application of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)" last Friday night. "As evening fell, the Russia air defence forces detected 13 unidentified small-size air targets at a significant distance approaching the Russian military bases," the Ministry said in a statement. "Ten assault drones were approaching the Khmeimim air base, and another three – the CSS point in Tartus." Six of the assault force drones were intercepted by Russian electronic warfare units, with three of the UAVs being brought to land outside the base, while the remaining three exploded on contact with the ground. Another seven drones were "eliminated" by Pantsir-S anti-aircraft missiles fired by the Russians, with the bases reporting no casualties or damage, the statement explains. If the report is accurate, the Russian forces are lucky the attack wasn't worse, because whoever unleashed these drones wasn't fooling around. While photographs of the improvised UAVs used in the assault make the drones look clunky and strung together, the Russians' analysis reveals they were armed with explosives and launched from a site more than 50 kilometres (31 miles) distant from their targets, navigating the trek via GPS and altitude-control sensors. The Ministry says a technical examination indicates these drones would have an effective attacking range of about 100 kilometres (62 miles) – which is pretty terrifying – and means that in the new era of UAV warfare, locations that once may have seemed immune to attack, are in fact exposed. "They thought the base was secure, but now it seems it is vulnerable," Maxim Suchkov of the Russian International Affairs Council told The Washington Post. It's unknown who launched the swarm, with the attack being unclaimed at present. But the Russians have hinted that the technology used was too advanced for local militants, seen as a suggestion it could have been supplied by US forces in the vicinity – something the Pentagon says is "absolutely false". There's an awful lot about this incident that's unconfirmed right now, but one thing we can be sure of is this technological first could usher warfare into a terrifying new chapter – and towards a grim future scientists have been desperately warning we need to prevent. "Who knows how accurate some of these details really are, but if the number of drones launched at the facility is anywhere near correct, it would seem to be the first self-contained, large scale, coordinated, standoff drone assault on a fixed installation like this," Tyler Rogoway reports at The Drive. "It seems that the age of drone swarms has arrived, and that's a terrifying reality to comprehend."

68% of Americans in debt doubt they'll ever pay it off

By Jade Scipioni Published January 11, 2018

Many Americans are feeling the pinch every month when their credit cards bills and other loans roll in, so much so that a majority of them, especially the older generation, aren’t confident that they will ever be able to pay them off, according to a new report. More than 68% of U.S. adults polled by CreditCards Opens a New Window. .com said they doubt they will be able to completely pay off their debts, which globally has ballooned to a record high of $233 trillion in the third quarter of 2017, according to the Institute of International Finance (IIF). Additionally, 30% believe they’ll never be debt-free and another 38% don’t know how or when they’ll be able to swipe their slates clean in the future. However, a more optimistic 32% of Americans said they foresee their credit lines clearing up in an average of roughly nine years. The generations with the least amount of confidence were the Silent Generation (72+) at 83%, baby boomers (53-71) at 70%, Gen X (37-52) at 68%, and millennials (18-36) at 65%. The biggest culprit—and worry—is credit card debt. A whopping 35% of adults with plastic—or roughly 31 million Americans—think they “have dug themselves too deep a hole to ever climb out of,” the report said. “With credit card debt currently at near record levels, it’s frightening that so many Americans do not have a plan to get out of the red,” said Matt Schulz, senior industry analyst at CreditCards.com. Schulz added that the problem is many Americans use credit cards on things they simply can’t afford. But the good news is that a majority of Americans seem to be in better position to pay off existing debts in 2018 than they were in 2017 with 50% indicating an increased comfort from a year ago. “Conversely, only 13% would feel more comfortable taking on more debt now compared to last year, and 45% percent would be less comfortable,” Schulz said.

Anti-Conservative Censorship Spreads From Campuses To Big Tech

Peter Hasson Associate Editor 10:22 AM 01/10/2018

Censorship, discrimination and mandatory “anti-bias” training sessions that cross the line into political indoctrination are now common stories for conservatives on college campuses. But they are increasingly the norm at another haven of young progressives: Silicon Valley. A class action lawsuit filed on behalf of former Google engineer James Damore and other right-of-center Google employees describes a culture of censorship and discrimination: managers openly discuss blacklists “meant to encourage and coordinate the sabotage of promotions, performance reviews, and employment opportunities for those with conservative viewpoints,” Google employees are pressured to undergo one-sided “Bias Busting” re-education sessions focusing on white male privilege, and employees risk their careers by speaking out against progressive orthodoxy, the lawsuit states. The suit claims that Google illegally discriminates against white male employees as part of the company’s diversity efforts. Internal messages included in the lawsuit reveal employees openly conspiring against Damore after he shared a memo criticizing the company’s diversity polices and calling for more tolerance of conservative viewpoints. “You know, there are just certain ‘alternative views, including different political views’ which I do not want people to feel safe to share here,” one high-ranking Google employee wrote on a company message chain. Added another employee: “If Google management cares enough about diversity and inclusion, they should, and I urge them to, send a clear message by not only terminating Mr. Damore, but also severely disciplining or terminating those who have expressed support.” Damore was fired shortly afterward. That’s just what’s going on internally at Google. Google’s new fact-checkers, The Daily Caller revealed Tuesday, are almost exclusively devoted to policing right-of-center media outlets and wrongfully attributed false statements to TheDC. Left-of-center outlets received no such policing from Google, which has previously censored content that doesn’t align with its political goals. (RELATED: Google And Facebook Co-Sponsoring Protest Of Pro-Life Women’s Health Care Clinic) It’s not just Google, either: Facebook, Twitter and YouTube (which is owned by Google) have all exhibited the same pattern of discrimination and censorship against conservatives. Facebook regularly buried conservative viewpoints from its trending topics section, several former employees told Gizmodo. YouTube and Google have targeted conservative and independent video channels for censorship and demonitization. Both Facebook and Google empowered left-wing fact-checkers to discredit conservative voices on behalf of the companies, with little oversight. Twitter buried tweets damaging to the Clinton campaign and censors conservatives but allowed racist death threats against Trump FCC chairman Ajit Pai. Conservatives face discrimination, censorship and even violence when left-wing authoritarians run a college campus. But what happens when left-wing authoritarians run the most powerful companies in the world?

Bodies kept alive in plastic bags and lifeless 'blank' humans ready for a new consciousness to be uploaded: Controversial booth at CES claims to offer IMMORTALITY - but is all as it seems?

At the Psychasec booth at CES, what appeared to be human bodies were on display in glass cases and bags

The exhibitors introduced a plan for 'immortality,' by uploading your consciousness into lab-grown bodies

But, at the end of the booth, it is revealed to be a bizarre marketing stunt for the Netflix show, Altered Carbon

By Cheyenne Macdonald For Dailymail.com In Las Vegas Published: 17:22 EST, 10 January 2018 | Updated: 23:30 EST, 10 January 2018

At one mysterious booth in the Las Vegas Convention Center this week, the reaction of passers-by has been unlike anywhere else. Murmurs of ‘I don’t like this,’ and ‘no, this is too much for me,’ could be heard as CES attendees crowded around the Psychasec setup, greeted by what appeared to be lifeless human forms on display in large glass cases. During a brief tour through the booth, exhibitors dressed in all white sold the idea of immortality, through a plan to upload human consciousness to ‘human sleeves’ of whatever design you desire – before concluding around the display of ‘Joel,’ a fresh ‘sleeve' in a vacuum sealed bag, breathing and eating through a tube. While the display has been jarring to some, there is more to it than initially meets the eye. Visitors who went through the tour were presented with a trailer for a Netflix show called Altered Carbon, and gifted small Netflix branded goodie bags containing ‘cortical stack aftercare gel.’ It may be one of the most bizarre Netflix marketing schemes yet, going as far as plastering posters with ‘Boycott #Psychasec’ and ‘Immortality is Immoral’ along the outside of the booth (though an exhibitor insisted to Dailymail.com that this had been done by anti-Psychasec protestors). But, either way, it’s not an exhibit you’re likely to forget anytime soon. Pointing to the disturbing ‘human sleeves’ inside the neon-backlit cases, a guide said: ‘These are 100 percent genetically home-grown organic sleeves – the sleeve is your body.’ ‘These are made of skin, tissue, muscle, bone, nervous system, cells, everything that we have to generate ourselves to make our movements, these are made up of,’ the Psychasec exhibitor said. Unlike all other booths at CES, none of the exhibitors at Psychasec had name badges. NETFLIX DEBUTS BIZARRE 'HUMAN SLEEVES' AT CES AHEAD OF ITS NEW SHOW ALTERED CARBON At CES 2018 in Las Vegas, Netflix set up a bizarre - and somewhat disturbing - promotion for its new series, Altered Carbon. In a description of the show, Netflix says: 'In a future where humans can transfer their minds from body to body, a rebel is brought back to life to solve a twisted, high-stakes murder case.’ During a brief tour through the Psychasec booth at CES, exhibitors dressed in all white sold the idea of immortality, through a plan to upload human consciousness to ‘human sleeves’ of whatever design you desire – before concluding around the display of ‘Joel,’ a fresh ‘sleeve in a vacuum sealed bag, breathing and eating through a tube. ‘These are conscious-less sleeves right now,’ the presenter continued. ‘We’ve developed a way to put your consciousness into these sleeves. Now these sleeves can be genetically designed to be whatever you like 'You can have a sleeve of yourself, you can have a sleeve genetically designed to whatever you want: Taller, shorter, musclier, better vision, faster, any race or any gender, with your mind.’ The system relies on what the firm calls a ‘cortical stack.’ The so-called cortical stack is a small device that is inserted into the base of the spine in the ‘human sleeve.’ The stack then interacts with the nervous system, to ‘essentially download your memories, or you, onto this device like backup hard drive,’ much like iPhone users do with the cloud, the presenter noted. ‘The same thing, this will back up you – everything that makes up your personality. The emotion, every memory, everything that is you is stored onto this cortical stack.’ The downloaded information could then be transferred into the human sleeve in what’s called a ‘needle casting.’ As the sleeves are made of biological material, they’d still be susceptible to disease and injury, the exhibitors said. But, with the needle casting, a person could just transfer their information to new bodies as needed, ‘therefore creating immortality – you let your mind live on.’ The dystopian sci-fi Altered Carbon is set to premier on Netflix February 2.

Is this the US Air Force's secret 4,600mph spy plane? Mystery 'hypersonic aircraft' is captured in Google Earth images of a Florida airbase, claims conspiracy theorist

US Air Force is believed to be developing a spy plane that travels at 4,600mph

Secretive hypersonic plane is being developed by defence firm Lockheed Martin

Google Earth images show an object that looks similar to the artist's impression

Pictures were taken by UFO conspiracy theorists from SectureTeam10

Many have dismissed the latest footage, saying it just shows a high speed boat

By Phoebe Weston For Mailonline Published: 04:53 EST, 11 January 2018 | Updated: 09:36 EST, 11 January 2018

The US Air Force is understood to be developing a spy plane that travels at more than 4,600mph (7,400km/h). Now, a conspiracy theorist claims he has spotted an image of the mystery craft on Google Earth's view of Florida. The satellite image appears to show an object similar to the artist's impression of the secretive hypersonic plane being developed by defence firm Lockheed Martin. It comes a day after Lockheed Martin's secretive Skunk Works unit said it had already finished making the radical hypersonic update of the long-retired Mach 3 SR-71 Blackbird spy plane. The Google satellite images were compiled in a video by Tyler Glockner, known for uploading images of UFO sightings to his YouTube channel Secureteam10. Whoever created the craft has a 'main foothold in designing aircraft engines that are widely used in civilian and military aviation', Mr Glockner claimed. 'What you're seeing is a very secretive object... I haven't been able to work out what it is', he said. More than 400,000 people viewed the video which shows a series of screen shots from Google Earth. 'It is no public aircraft that has been disclosed', Mr Glockner claimed. 'You can see that this thing looks like a hypersonic aircraft or spacecraft'. The shape is similar to the SR-72 hypersonic plane - which is set to be a strike and reconnaissance aircraft that tops Mach 6, writes Daily Star. The defence firm Lockheed Martin firm has been working on the project since the early 2000s. However, many people were skeptical of the claims, with many saying the footage showed a high speed boat. 'It honestly looks like one of those racing jet boats', wrote YouTube user 'Kody Read'. 'It looks like a powerboat I live next to the ocean seen this shape before and it is next to swamp land and water', wrote another user 'Jamie Lynn'. One user, called 'Leo Pokat' said it was a 'UPO - unimaginable parked object'. Earlier this week reports suggested the radical hypersonic update of the long-retired Mach 3 SR-71 Blackbird spy plane might have already been finished. Jack O'Banion, Vice President of Strategy and Customer Requirements, Advanced Development Programs for Lockheed Martin, let slip at a conference the unmanned aircraft has already been made. Speaking at the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics SciTech Forum, he showed a slide of a digital mockup of the craft, and said 'Without the digital transformation, the aircraft you see there could not have been made.' Mr O'Banion also said the aircraft will have a 'digital twin' that knows every part on the aircraft. 'Talking about speed, you're talking about hypersonics, aircraft that operate above Mach 5,' he said.

Poll: 33% of NFL fans say they purposely stopped watching this year

AllahpunditPosted at 8:41 pm on January 9, 2018

An interesting result, as it raises a question that isn’t often asked about declining NFL ratings. How many people are boycotting because they *agree* with the player protests? See Also: Fiat Chrysler bringing back jobs and giving bonuses, too To think, 33 percent of NFL fans missed out on one of the worst quarterbacked playoff games of all time this past Saturday in Jacksonville. If there’s any doubt that Kaepernick’s exile from the league is due partly, or even mostly, to politics rather than ability, go watch game film of Jags/Bills and ask if either team wouldn’t have benefited from having him under center instead of their respective scrub QBs. In fact, after watching that Alabama/Georgia game last night, either team would have benefited from having Bama’s freshman under center instead. The survey then asked the football fans: “Did you purposely stop watching or attending NFL games this season for any reason?” 33% of respondents said yes… They answered as follows: 32% said they stopped watching or attending NFL games “in support of Donald Trump”; 22% said “in solidarity with players kneeling”; 13% said “no interest in the teams playing”; 12% said “in support of Colin Kaepernick”; and 11% said “news about traumatic brain injuries among players.” Another 8% said “games are boring.” 46% chose “some other reason.” The results also show an interesting difference between male and female respondents: more men said they turned away from the NFL in support of Trump (35% to 25%), while more women said they did it in support of the players kneeling (30% to 17%) or in support of Kaepernick (17% to 10%). Respondents were allowed to select multiple reasons so obviously some of those who said they were boycotting in support of Kaepernick are also boycotting in solidarity with player protests. The logic of the former is straightforward: If you agree with Kaepernick’s protest and you’re outraged that he’s being blackballed for his politics, one way to punish the league is to deny them ratings. A fan petition entitled “#NoKaepernickNoNFL” has more than 200,000 signatures, in fact. I don’t understand boycotting in solidarity with kneeling players, though. The league is honoring their right to protest; the players themselves aren’t boycotting the games. Lower ratings only hurts their bottom lines. What do those people want Roger Goodell’s office to do that he hasn’t done? Encourage players to kneel? Another thing: The 33 percent who say they’ve stopped watching clearly don’t mean that they’ve stopped watching altogether. Ratings are down but they’re not down 33 percent. This is probably happening at the margins, with fans more prone to skip snoozefests involving bad teams while still tuning in for the Pats and Steelers. Although if you thought playoff football might reverse the NFL’s fortunes ratings-wise, think again: — Saints vs. Panthers (Fox Sports): Down 15 percent from last year’s comparable Giants-Packers telecast. — Titans vs. Chiefs (ESPN/ABC): Down 11 percent from last year’s Texans-Raiders. — Falcons vs. Rams (NBC Sports): Down 10 percent from last year’s Seahawks-Lions. — Jaguars vs. Bills (CBS Sports): Down 10 percent from last year’s Steelers-Dolphins. Ratings in the regular season were down 9.7 percent from the year before. Ratings for last week’s playoff games were down … 11.5 percent, per the Sporting News. The league actually did worse as the postseason began. My hunch is that the fewer marquee names in the first round this year contributed heavily to the damage. Apart from the sexy “Brees vs. Newton” showdown in the New Orleans/Carolina game, you had six teams without national followings or many star players, most of which haven’t been anywhere near a Super Bowl for years. (The less said about the one exception, the Falcons, the better.) Last year, as noted, the Steelers were in the mix in the first round as were the Raiders, the Russell Wilson/Richard Sherman Seahawks, and two teams with huge fan bases in the Giants and Packers. In this year’s first round, the only teams to have won a Super Bowl since Richard Nixon was president were the Saints and Rams, and we’re nearly 20 years removed from the latter’s victory. No worries, though. The always exciting Divisional Round is coming up! There’s, uh, the no-name Titans against Brady and the Patriots. There’s the Jags and their pitiful QB against the Steelers. (I know, I know, they beat Pittsburgh in October.) There’s last year’s Super Bowl chokers against a Wentz-less Eagles team. Annnnd there’s Brees and the Saints against a Vikings team quarterbacked by Case “Who?” Keenum. How do you suppose those ratings will do? If Goodell doesn’t get a Steelers/Patriots AFC Championship he might commit seppuku.

Walmart Abruptly Closing Dozens Of Sam's Club Stores, Firing Thousands On Same Day It Raised Minimum Wages

by Tyler Durden Thu, 01/11/2018 - 21:43

Wal-Mart was quick to make a media splash with the news that it was raising the starting hourly wages to $11/hour, expanding employee benefits and offering worker bonuses of up to $1000 in response to the Trump tax cuts; it was far more covert, however, with the news that on the very same day it was also closing hundreds of Sam's Club stores nationwide and laying off thousands of workers according to numerous media reports. Jessica Buckner, an audit team lead at a Sam's Club location in Anchorage, told local TV station KTVA that all Alaska stores are closing as part of a larger downsizing across the U.S. "From what I heard, there's over 260 stores that have been closed down," she said according to CBS News. The wholesale clubs' official closure date is Jan. 26, Buckner said. Shortly after, the company issued a statement, stating that the number of stores for closure is somewhat lower, at 63, if still a sizable number. That compares with a total of five wholesale club stores the company has closed since fiscal 2013, securities filings show. Ten to 12 of the closed stores could be converted to e-commerce facilities, the spokesperson said. The news is consistent with Sam's Club's ongoing plans to optimize its stores to fulfill more online orders and keep pace with internet retailers such as Boxed. The closures also affect stores in New Jersey, upstate New York, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Louisiana, North Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. In some locations, per social media, people showed up to work only to be told that their location was closing, with nearly no advance notice.

Days Before Massive 7.6 Caribbean Quake, The Ocean Disappeared In Locations Almost 2000 Miles Apart, Nearly Directly North And South Of Earthquake Epicenter

- If Our Planet Earth Is Trying To Tell Us A Story, What Might That Story Be?

January 11, 2018 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

"Water is trying to tell us something!" MrMBB333

Only days before the massive 7.6 earthquake struck in the Caribbean on Tuesday, causing a widespread tsunami warning to be issued to several Caribbean islands, we received reports of ocean water vanishing in several different areas, areas separated by nearly 2000 miles as heard in the 1st video below from videographer MrMBB333. Yet not only are these areas separated by less than 2000 miles but as we see in the google Earth graphic we've created above of these very strange recent incidents, these 'events' appear to line up as if the Earth is trying to tell us a story with the epicenter of the quake nearly aligned perfectly in between the 'ocean disappearing' areas as also heard in the 3rd video below from our same videographer. Back on January 5th the website UFO Sightings Hotspot published a story in which they reported the ocean had disappeared in several areas surrounding the country of Ecuador where the country borders with the Pacific Ocean. Both the websites Strange Sounds and SOT published similar stories at that time with one photo above. Leaving boats 'dry-docked' and fishermen frightened that a tsunami may have been on the way, the SOT story reported that what we were witnessing may have been known as 'Aguaje' or 'Syzygy Tides' to fishermen in Ecuador. Yet as they reported then, the intensity of the creepy natural phenomenon was unprecedented and unusually strong. Was what happened in Ecuador and later off of the Gulf coast of Florida as heard in the 1st video not a 'syzygy' at all but something different? As we see in the next set of images above with the same image zoomed in below, Ecuador sits upon the South American plate though just offshore, that plate joins with a smaller plate called the Nazca plate with the even smaller Cocos plate also nearby. Then as we see in the next image below, the Ring of Fire cuts right through that 'danger zone', quite literally dividing the Caribbean plate from the Cocos plate, two of the 3 smaller plates in this region including the Nazca plate that borders Ecuador, and in between the much larger North American plate, Pacific plate and South American plate. Is it just a coincidence that the water disappearing from the ocean that MrMBB333 talks about happened both north and south of the two smaller plates, with a massive 7.6 quake following, in between those areas, just days later? Interestingly, as we also hear in the first video, something very strange is going on as this water drainage happened in both the Pacific Ocean as well as off of the Gulf coast of Florida, much closer to the Atlantic than the Pacific. So, if Earth is trying to tell us a story, what is our planet trying to tell us? In the 2nd video below our same videographer talks about the massive Caribbean earthquake and how, coincidentally or not, he was just talking about the same region with ocean water recently seemingly disappearing into thin air. So, what do you think, just a coincidence? Just days ago on ANP, Susan Duclos published a story titled "God's 'Cold Fury' Unleashed - Was A Prophetic Word Given 23 Years Ago, In Great Detail Coming To Pass, And Are The Great Quakes Next?" within which she shared with us this prophetic word given to Steve Quayle back in 1994 in which he was warned judgement was coming to America. A quote directly from Steve Quayle taken from that story: "In the last couple of days the Lord has impressed upon my spirit to tell his people to repent and read, memorize and quote Psalm 23 and Psalm 91, as there will be great loss of life in the U.S. due to volcanoes in the Cascadia region coming active along with great EQ's in both the U.S. and South America and world wide- but He is now bringing this 23 year old word to pass, specifically in dealing with America's perversions and total rebellion against Him." 

Scribe note:  I believe the prophecy refered to in this article is on the link below. http://www.stevequayle.com/index.php?s=593 

In this November 29th of 2017 story from Rutgers Today they reported a mass of warm rock is now rising up from beneath of New England and while they claim that a volcanic eruption from this 'rise' isn't likely for at least a million years, their study shows that something is going on below the surface of the Earth under the Eastern part of the United States. From this National Geographic story on the surprising geological activity in New England as also heard in the final video below, also from videographer MrMBB333. At first glance, New England doesn’t seem like a hotbed of geologic activity. The region doesn’t have any rumbling volcanoes. Earthquakes are almost unheard of. And its mountains are mere hills compared to ranges like the Rockies or the Sierra Nevada in the western U.S. But don’t underestimate what’s going on beneath the surface: It turns out this idyllic pocket of the northeastern U.S. may sit atop a rising mass of warm rock—a smaller, slower version of the magma pockets under well-known volcanic zones. The findings, recently published in the journal Geology, suggest that New England may not be so immune to abrupt geological change. RISING ROCK Inside our planet, heat from the volatile core makes its way up through the mantle—the hot, high-pressure zone that lies below the planet’s crust. That heat causes the crust’s tectonic plates to slip and slide around. Where those plates collide or divide is where we most often see mountains, earthquakes, and volcanoes. With proof that earthquakes, volcanoes and mountains are commonplace near where plates collide, should we be surprised that every once in a while, water upon the Earth's surface might slip into cracks and crevices as those tectonic plates slip and slide around? And as we're shown above and in the videos below, it was very close to where numerous plates collided that we recently witnessed not only ocean water suddenly disappearing but an earthquake following soon thereafter. Coincidence? We'd love to hear your thoughts.

8 earthquakes strike along Iran-Iraq border, rattle Baghdad

by AMIR VAHDAT and JON GAMBRELL, Associated Press

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — A series of eight earthquakes hit the Iran-Iraq border area and rattled Baghdad on Thursday, apparent aftershocks of a temblor that struck the mountainous region in November and killed over 530 people. Four people suffered minor injuries in Iran, state television reported. The U.S. Geological Survey said seven of the quakes struck near the Iraqi city of Mandali, 120 kilometers (75 miles) northeast of the Iraqi capital. Mandali is right on the border between the two nations. The eighth hit near Mehran in western Iran, about 90 kilometers (55 miles) southeast of Mandali along the sparsely populated Zagros Mountains that divide Iran and Iraq. All the earthquakes struck within an hour of each other, beginning at 0659 GMT. Six had a preliminary magnitude of at least 5, while two registered at magnitude 4. Scientists consider earthquakes of magnitude 5 as moderate. Iranian authorities offered similar figures for the earthquakes on state television. All the information could change as scientists examine the data. Iranian state television said online that people rushed into the streets as the temblors hit. In Baghdad, people felt a quake shake the Iraqi capital, followed by what felt like aftershocks. All the earthquakes struck at a depth of 10 kilometers (6 miles), according to the USGS. Earthquakes at magnitude 5 can cause considerable damage. The temblors also all were very shallow, which causes more ground shaking and potential damage, particularly in places without strict building codes. In November, a major 7.3 magnitude earthquake struck the same region, killing over 530 people and injuring thousands in Iran alone. In Iraq, nine people were killed and 550 were injured, all in the country's northern Kurdish region, according to the United Nations. Randy Baldwin, a geophysicist with the USGS' National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colorado, said the earthquakes all appeared to be aftershocks from the November temblor. That area is home to many shallow faults, he said. "It's ongoing activity there," Baldwin told The Associated Press. "If there was a stressed fault that's ready to move, they happen like that until the stresses are relieved, so it's not too unusual." The November earthquake hit hardest in the Kurdish town of Sarpol-e-Zahab in the western Iranian province of Kermanshah, which is only 80 kilometers (50 miles) from where most of Thursday's earthquakes struck. The region, largely rebuilt in recent decades after Iran and Iraq's ruinous 1980s war, saw many buildings collapse or sustain major damage in the November quake. While Iranian government has offered loans for those affected to rebuild their homes, many still live in tents or temporary shipping containers-style homes and face the rains and cold of winter. Iran sits on major fault lines and is prone to near-daily earthquakes. In 2003, a 6.6 magnitude quake flattened the historic city of Bam, killing 26,000 people. Earlier on Thursday, the USGS said a magnitude 4.9 quake hit Iran's southern province of Kerman before dawn, while another 4.6 magnitude temblor struck Wednesday night in Kermanshah province. No injuries or damage were reported. Late Thursday afternoon, another 4.8 magnitude earthquake struck in Kerman, according to the USGS. Gambrell reported from Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Associated Press writer Susannah George in Baghdad contributed to this report.

Trump backs Sen. Paul's plan to fund infrastructure projects with suspended aid to Pakistan 

By Bradford Betz | Fox News

President Donald Trump on Friday evening issued support for U.S. Sen. Rand Paul's proposal to fund infrastructure projects in the U.S. with foreign aid halted from going to Pakistan. "Good idea Rand!" came the president's response. In a tweet Thursday, Rand, a Kentucky Republican, said he planned to introduce his proposal soon. "My bill will take the money that would have gone to Pakistan and put it in an infrastructure fund to build roads and bridges here at home," the senator tweeted. On Thursday, the U.S. announced plans to end up to $2 billion in security assistance to Pakistan. The reasoning: The U.S. State Department contended that Pakistan had failed to take "decisive action" against Taliban militants targeting U.S. personnel in neighboring Afghanistan. The figure represents about $1 billion in planned military assistance, including $255 million that was placed on hold in August, and about $900 million in Coalition Support Funds intended to reimburse Pakistan for counterterrorism operations. Earlier in the week, President Trump contended that the U.S. had “foolishly” given Pakistan more than $33 billion in aid over the last 15 years and had gotten nothing in return but “lies & deceit.” Nikki Haley, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, accused Pakistan of playing a double game for years, at times working with the U.S. while harboring terrorists who attack American troops in Afghanistan. “That game is not acceptable in this administration. We expect far more cooperation from Pakistan in the fight against terrorism,” she said. But officials in Pakistan expressed disappointment with the U.S. plans, saying the suspension of aid would be detrimental to bilateral relations. Pakistan's Foreign Ministry asserted that the country had spent more than $120 billion of its own funds on the war on terror in recent years. It contended that Pakistan's cooperation with the U.S. had helped "decimate" Al Qaeda and drive other militant groups away from the Pakistan-Afghanistan border region. "Arbitrary deadlines, unilateral pronouncements and shifting goalposts are counterproductive in addressing common threats," Pakistan's Foreign Ministry said in a statement Friday. The United States is currently holding up more than $200 million in foreign aid to Pakistan. A senior U.S. administration official emphasized the money could potentially still be available if Pakistan were to change course. But Paul went a step further Thursday, arguing that Pakistan has been of little use in the war on terrorism, and proposed cutting off aid to Pakistan altogether. “We’ve sent Pakistan $33 billion since 2002. What did we get for it? Well Pakistan didn’t even help us find Bin Laden, even though he was living in one of their cities for years. Then they jailed the informant who helped us to get Bin Laden. They’ve allowed suspected terrorists to operate in their country. Some say Pakistani intelligence agents actually aid and abet the terrorists. It’s wrong.” Paul, who said he has been fighting to end aid to Pakistan for years, called Trump’s recent proposal to suspend aid “a breakthrough.”

Will 2018 Bring Earthquakes Of Biblical Proportion? Planet To Enter “High Seismic Activity” Period This Year, Scientists Predict

January 11, 2018 by SkyWatch Editor

As the new year dawns on us, the first horrible news is already out for the year. Scientists are predicting a massive increase in the number of large earthquakes in 2018. Scientists have found an alarming link between slowing seismic activity of Earth and an increase in the number of surface tremors. There are periods where minute fluctuations in the speed of Earth’s rotation cause a change in the length of days and nights. These changes add up and cause a period of measurably slower speed in Earth’s rotation around its own axis. It is believed these changes could trigger increased seismic activity. A team of researchers from University of Colorado (CU) in Boulder found during the past 100 years, Earth’s slowdowns have correlated surprisingly well with periods with a global increase in magnitude 7.0 and larger earthquakes.

'We Are On A Very Dangerous Path Of Self-Annihilation' Warns Head Of Russian Orthodox Church: 'If Evil Prevails, End Times Will Be Upon Us'

- Full-Scale Persecution May Await Christians Should Globalist Win In 2020

January 10, 2018 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

In this new story over at the Guardian that the Drudge Report linked to on Tuesday titled "Hell Freezes Over: How The Church Of Satan Got Cool", they immediately give partial credit for the 'rise of satanism in America' to Chelsea Clinton where in the subtitle they claim "Thanks to a canny social media presence – which has included messages to Chelsea Clinton – and progressive politics, satanism is an unlikely spiritual antidote to the Trump era". As Susan Duclos pointed out in this January 6th ANP story, Chelsea even took the time to reply to the church of satan, of which she has done several times, and as this Infowars story also pointed out, was joyous as she even took the time to wish them a happy new year for 2018. As the Infowars story points out, The Church of Satan was established in San Francisco, California, in 1966 by Anton Szandor LaVey. Also known as the Black Pope, LaVey reportedly engaged in cannibalism according to his authorized biography. And as we see within this ANP story as is specifically pointed out in the video published after the next section below featuring the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, the normalization of evil that we're now witnessing across America and throughout much of the entire planet could lead to the very downfall of humanity, the apocalypse and 'end times'. When we took the time to read the previously mentioned story over at the Guardian, we shouldn't have been the least bit surprised to learn that the piece was a PRO-satan story and an ANTI-Donald Trump story. With satanists lining up with Chelsea and Hillary as the 'spiritual antidote' to President Trump, what should that tell us about President Trump? As Patriarch Kirill tells us in this translated video, never before have evil and righteousness been put upon the same level as we are witnessing now and the Patriarch issues this firm warning, "if evil prevails, the end times will be upon us." When asked about the apocalypse and if 'the end is near' and what would bring about such a scenario, Patriarch Kirill tells us "In the case when the human society stops to be viable, when the resources to exist will be exhausted which would happen in the case when we have absolute dominance of evil". Warning us that evil is not viable and in cases where systems are taken over by evil, those systems will fall, Kirill continues "If evil drives away good from human society, then the end will come". When asked by the interviewer "why do we have to talk about this today?", Patriarch Kirill replies "Because we are now living through a special period in history. Never before did human society put good and evil on the same level. There were attempts to justify evil but never to say that good and evil are relative and not absolute truths. People's perception of good and evil was that they were absolute truth. But today they are relative. When can evil unrestrainedly grow in human society? EXACTLY when this point of view that good and evil are the same triumphs globally. And we are currently not at the beginning of this process but a certain amount of time has passed. History as we know it is exhausted, so how can the church keep silent? How can it avoid sending up an alarm? How can it avoid warning that we are on a very dangerous path of self-annihilation? If the church will not say this than who will?" As Susan Duclos pointed out in her January 6th story, the Chelsea Clinton - church of satan connection was just one of many going back many, many years tying together the Clinton family with satanic affiliations. And while Susan asked in her subtitle "Does anyone really want another Clinton in American politics?", just imagine the permanent damage that could be done to America should somehow Hillary stage a comeback or a like-thinking Democrat/globalist propel themselves into the White House in 2020. While 2020 seems far away with President Trump in office, still at least 3 years on his plate, the thought of Hillary somehow escaping justice and figuring out a way to steal the 2020 election might be enough to pull one's hair out and while Hillary might be in an orange jumpsuit by then, the chance that another globalist will be selected by the Democratic party as their nominee is almost guaranteed. Yet if what we've really been witnessing over the past several decades has been a mission to transform America into a totalitarian nation, complete with the 'body count' that comes along with such government, should globalists get back into the White House in 2020 we might expect the full-scale persecution of Christians and anyone who is not one of them (an expansion of what we're seeing now with antifa and social justice warriors on campus and elsewhere), leading to outright civil war on US soil. How has our society allowed goodness and evil to be on the same level as Patriarch Kirill warns we're now witnessing? As he wisely mentions, this has been ongoing for quite some time now - we didn't just suddenly jump into the pot of boiling water we're now in. Evidenced by the tweets put out by the daughter of a former US president and numerous other stories across the country, we've allowed evil to not just slip in but grab hold of our government and institutions. As Steve Quayle reminds us, one of the 'signatures' of the globalists is a demonic hatred of Jesus. With nearly 50% of the country voting for Hillary in 2016 showing us just how many people have blindly accepted the hatred, treason, corruption and outright depravity that come to us from the globalists, we see just how far down the path we have already traveled that Patriarch Kirill warns us of. As this story over at Through The Looking Glass titled "Q Anon: Learn To Read The Map" proves to us, not only does this sickening corruption run deep, it's been pervasive throughout 'elite' society for more than 100 years, helping to show just what President Trump and Christians are up against as the clock ticks ever onwards towards 2020. In the next video below, Judge Jeanine shares with us some news that we could all look forward to coming true - Hillary Clinton may soon have to face a REAL investigation into her endless crimes. In the 2nd video, Milo tells us why he is sick of the 'religion of Oprah' (the obvious globalist choice for 2020) while the final video below shares with us more recent 'end times signs'.

North Korea is worst place for Christian persecution, group says

By Kimberly Winston, Religion News Service Published: January 10, 2018 8:00 pm

For the 16th year in a row, North Korea tops the list of 50 countries ranked for the worst persecution of Christians in the world, according to the Christian watchdog organization Open Doors USA. A close second is Afghanistan, which jumped up one place since last year’s ranking. With the exception of North Korea, all the countries that cracked the top 10 are predominantly Muslim and most are in the Middle East and Africa. “Open Doors exists to support and to advocate for persecuted Christians where ever they may be in the world,” Open Doors USA’s CEO and president, David Curry, said in announcing the list in Washington on Wednesday (Jan. 10). “We are asking that the world begin to use its power and its influence to push for justice, that we would use the list to direct us where justice is needed most in the world today.” Curry also highlighted three trends Open Doors identifies as persecution against Christians — the rise of “rogue agencies” such as the Islamic State group and the North Korean government; “Islamic extremism”; and actions such as rape and forced marriage. The list is compiled annually by Open Doors, whose researchers assign a point value to incidents of persecution — forced conversions, attacks on churches, arrests, etc. Open Doors has published its list for 26 years. The group’s top 10 countries where Christians face the most persecution are: North Korea (94 points) — Christians and Christian missionaries are routinely imprisoned in labor camps. Afghanistan (93 points) — The government of this Muslim country does not recognize any of its citizens as Christian.

Somalia (91 points) — The Catholic bishop of Mogadishu has described it as “not possible” to be a Christian in Somalia.

Sudan (87 points) — The Muslim government has slated Christian churches for demolition.

Pakistan (86 points) — Christians and other non-Muslims sit on death row, facing charges of blasphemy.

Eritrea (86 points) — Only four religions are officially recognized (Sunni Islam and the Eritrean Orthodox, Roman Catholic and Evangelical Lutheran churches). Those belonging to other faiths are persecuted and those of recognized faiths are routinely harassed by the government.

Libya (86 points) — The government is reportedly training militants to attack Coptic Christians.

Iraq (86 points) — Iraqi Christians have yet to return to their homelands after expulsion by ISIS.

Yemen (85 points) — The ongoing political and humanitarian crisis has further squeezed Christians and other religious minorities, who already faced severe restrictions on practicing their faiths.

Iran (85 points) — Religious minorities, including Christians, face “systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of religious freedom,” according to the U.S. State Department. Just below the top 10 is India, where rising Hindu nationalism has increased persecution of other religious groups. Not on the list of the 50 countries where Christians face the worst persecution: the United States.

Defense minister: Israel to approve hundreds of new settler homes

Israel set to approve NIS 55 million budget for new settlement

Elkin: Start preparing for one million settlers in the West Bank

By REUTERS January 10, 2018 01:52

Israel is set to approve the construction of nearly 1300 new settler homes in 2018.

JERUSALEM - Israel will approve construction of hundreds of new settlement homes in the West Bank, Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman said on Tuesday. Settlements are one of the most heated issues in efforts to restart Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, frozen since 2014. Palestinians want the West Bank for a future state, along with East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip. Most countries consider as illegal the Israeli settlements built in the territory which Israel captured in the 1967 Middle East war. Israel disputes that its settlements are illegal and says their future should be determined in peace talks with the Palestinians. Israeli authorities were due to approve on Wednesday the construction of 1,285 housing units to be built in 2018 and advance planning for 2,500 others in about 20 different settlements, Lieberman said in a statement. There was no immediate comment from the Palestinian officials. The Palestinians say Israeli settlements in the West bank, a key issue in peace talks, deny them a viable contiguous state. US-brokered peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians collapsed in 2014 and a bid by the Trump administration to restart them have shown little sign of progress. The White House said on Monday US Vice President Mike Pence will visit the region from Jan. 20 to 23, embarking on a tour originally planned for December after President Donald Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Pence will hold talks with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, Jordan's King Abdullah and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the White House said. Trump's decision on Jerusalem and announcement in December that the United States would start the process of moving its embassy from Tel Aviv enraged the Palestinians who said the United States can no longer broker peace with Israel.

Will Palestinians Protect Freedom of Religion and Holy Places in Jerusalem?

avatar by Mitchell Bard

For the sake of argument, let us assume that the Palestinians one day achieve their goal of securing a capital for a Palestinian state in Jerusalem. What would this likely mean for the residents and visitors to the city? The hope would be that the city’s holy places would be protected and accessible — and that everyone would enjoy freedom of worship, as they do under Israel’s jurisdiction. But past precedent — as well as more recent Palestinian behavior — is not reassuring. The part of Jerusalem that the Palestinians demand for their capital was under Arab control from 1948-1967. Jordan occupied the city and the West Bank for 19 years — and, curiously, the Palestinians never demanded an end to the “occupation” or the establishment of a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital. These demands only emerged when Israel — that is Jews — took control over the area. Palestinians have never been able to explain the nearly two-decade gap in their supposed longing for self-determination in the land that they speciously claim has been theirs since time immemorial. Before advocating a redivision of Jerusalem, proponents should read the history of that period. Israel made western Jerusalem its capital; meanwhile, Jordan occupied the eastern section but did not move its capital there. Jordan violated the 1949 Armistice Agreement by denying Israelis access to the Western Wall and to the Mount of Olives. Worse, the Jewish Quarter in the Old City was razed, 58 synagogues were destroyed or desecrated, and thousands of tombstones in the Mount of Olives cemetery were destroyed to pave a road and build fences and latrines in Jordanian army camps. Under Jordanian rule, Israeli Muslims were also not permitted to visit their Holy Places in East Jerusalem. Meanwhile, “Israeli Christians were subjected to various restrictions during their seasonal pilgrimages to their holy places,” according to longtime mayor Teddy Kollek. “Only limited numbers were grudgingly permitted to briefly visit the Old City and Bethlehem at Christmas and Easter.” Jordan also passed laws restricting the opening of new Christian schools, giving Jordan control over the appointment of teachers, and requiring the teaching of the Koran. In 1965, Christian institutions were forbidden to acquire any land or rights in or near Jerusalem. In 1966, Christian schools were compelled to close on Fridays instead of Sundays. Because of these repressive policies, many Christians emigrated from Jerusalem. Their numbers declined from 25,000 in 1949, to fewer than 13,000 in June 1967. The discriminatory laws adopted by Jordan were abolished by Israel after the city was reunited in 1967. Would Palestinian policies in Jerusalem be any different than those of the Jordanians? Based on Palestinian words and deeds, there is reason for concern. Two Palestinian Authority (PA) officials made clear that they believed the Jordanian policy towards the Western Wall, Judaism’s holiest site, should be restored. Minister of Religious Affairs Mahmoud Al-Habbash, for example, declared that non-Muslims should be barred from praying at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, which, he maintained includes the Western Wall. Similarly, Tayseer Al-Tamimi, former Chief Justice of the PA Religious Court, insisted that “the Al-Aqsa Mosque is Islamic,” and that “Jews have no right to pray in any part of it,” including “its western wall.” In 1952, Jordan proclaimed Islam to be the country’s official religion. According to the Palestinian draft constitution, Islam will also be the official religion of “Palestine,” which does not augur well for non-Muslims. According to a US State Department report on religious freedom in the PA territories, churches there are not officially recognized and must obtain special permission to perform marriages or adjudicate personal status matters. Christians may not proselytize. Jonathan Adelman and Agota Kuperman noted that Yasser Arafat “tried to erase the historic Jesus by depicting him as the first radical Palestinian armed fedayeen (guerrilla).” David Raab observed that “Palestinian Christians are perceived by many Muslims … as a potential fifth column for Israel.” At the start of the Palestinian War in 2000, Muslim Palestinians attacked Christians in Gaza. Raab reported that “anti-Christian graffiti is not uncommon in Bethlehem and neighboring Beit Sahur, proclaiming: ‘First the Saturday people (the Jews), then the Sunday people (the Christians),’” and that “Christian cemeteries have been defaced, monasteries have had their telephone lines cut, and there have been break-ins at convents.” In 2002, Palestinian terrorists seized the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem and held priests, monks and nuns hostage. The New York Times reported that: “Palestinian gunmen have frequently used the area around the church as a refuge, with the expectation that Israel would try to avoid fighting near the shrine.” More recently, on December 23, 2017, rioters in Bethlehem threw rocks at the car carrying the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem. In 1950, Bethlehem and the surrounding villages were 86% Christian. After assuming control in 1995, the PA began Islamizing Bethlehem. Arafat appointed a Muslim as governor, and fired the Bethlehem city council that had nine Christians and two Muslims, and replaced it with a 50:50 council. The city’s municipal boundaries were also redrawn to incorporate 30,000 Muslims from three neighboring refugee camps and a few thousand Bedouins. Muslims from Hebron were also encouraged to move to Bethlehem. The net result was that the area’s 23,000 Christians were reduced from a 60% majority in 1990 to a minority by 2001. Today, only 11,000 Christians remain, just 12% of the city’s population. Across the West Bank, Christians now account for less than 2% of the population. In 2017, Nihad Abu Ghosh, a member of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), and the director of the PLO’s diaspora affairs department, admitted one reason for the decline is “an ISIS-like culture, and the existence of an environment that excludes the Palestinian Christians and is unsympathetic towards them.” As an example, he mentioned a preacher at the Al-Aqsa Mosque who “advocates imposing a poll tax (jizya) on Christians.” When Arafat died in 2004, Vatican Radio correspondent Graziano Motta said, “The death of the president of the Palestinian National Authority has come at a time when the political, administrative and police structures often discriminate against [Christians].” Motta added that Christians “have been continually exposed to pressures by Muslim activists, and have been forced to profess fidelity to the intifada.” In 2005, Samir Qumsiyeh, a journalist from Beit Sahur told the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera that Christians were being subjected to rape, kidnapping, extortion and expropriation of land and property. He added that “almost all 140 cases of expropriation of land in the last three years were committed by militant Islamic groups and members of the Palestinian police.” Qumsiyeh warned that, “If the situation continues, [Christians] won’t be here any more in 20 years.” The world should also be concerned with how the Palestinians would treat holy and historically significant places. The Oslo Interim Agreements specified that the PA would be responsible for the security of certain holy sites, and that Jewish worshipers would be allowed unhindered access to them. The Palestinians, however, have made it difficult for Jewish worshipers to visit holy sites, and allowed mobs to burn the “Peace for Israel” synagogue in Jericho and damage Joseph’s Tomb in Nablus. On December 19, 2017, Palestinians rioted, burned tires, threw stones, and threatened soldiers and worshipers when Jews visited Joseph’s Tomb to celebrate Hanukkah. The Palestinians now controlling the Temple Mount have also caused irreparable damage to archaeological remains from the First and Second Temple periods. Israeli archaeologists found that during construction work ordered by Muslim authorities, thousands of tons of gravel — which contained important relics — were removed from the Mount and discarded in the trash. Experts say that even the artifacts that were not destroyed during this act were rendered archaeologically useless because the Palestinian construction workers mixed finds from diverse periods when they scooped up earth with bulldozers. The nonpartisan Committee Against the Destruction of Antiquities on the Temple Mount said that another Palestinian construction project damaged a wall that dates to Second Temple times. The consistent violation of agreements that the Palestinians have already signed regarding freedom of religion and the protection of holy places, in addition to the religious persecution and mistreatment of non-Muslims, provide ample practical evidence of why the international community should have grave concerns about giving the Palestinians control over any part of Jerusalem. Dr. Mitchell Bard is executive director of AICE and author/editor of 24 books including “Myths and Facts: A Guide to the Arab-Israeli Conflict,” “The Arab Lobby,” and the novel “After Anatevka: Tevye in Palestine.”

White House 'Disturbed' by Reported Torture, Killings of Jailed Iranian Protesters

January 10, 2018 6:30 PM VOA News

The White House is calling reports of Iranian protesters tortured or killed in prison "disturbing" and demands freedom for all political prisoners reportedly held in Iran. "We will not remain silent as the Iranian dictatorship represses the basic rights of its citizens and will hold Iran's leaders accountable for any violations," a White House statement said Wednesday. It says the Iranian people are expressing legitimate grievances over government oppression, corruption, waste and military adventurism. "Iran's regime claims to support democracy, but when its own people express their aspirations ... it once again shows its true brutal nature," the statement said. Protests against bad economic conditions, regional military interference and perceived government corruption erupted across Iran on December 28. A number of demonstrators also called for the end of the Islamic Republic, which seized power in Iran in 1979. Some of the marches grew violent, with at least 21 deaths reported. It is unclear how many protesters have been arrested. Reform-minded lawmaker Mahmoud Sadeghi puts the number at 3,700. Iranian officials say most have been released. While the Iranian government said the protesters have the right to be heard, it says it will not tolerate violence. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has blamed the United States for instigating the protests and condemned President Donald Trump's tweets that appear to egg on the marchers.

Washington volcano LANDSLIDE ‘could wipe out ENTIRE CITY’ after swarm of 150 earthquakes

AN earthquake swarm that rattled Mount St Helens in Washington may have awoken a dangerous volcano that could flatten an entire city, seismologists have warned.

By Joshua Nevett / Published 5th January 2018

Mount St Helens, an active volcano in southern Washington, was struck by a 3.9 magnitude earthquake on Wednesday morning – the strongest since 1981. In the wake of the strong tremor, about 11 km northeast of the volcano, a swarm of up to 150 earthquakes struck the region. In 1980, a 5.1 magnitude earthquake hit Mount St Helens, triggering a violent eruption that killed 57 people and unleashed harrowing devastation. Last month, seismologists from the University of Washington recorded more than 80 quakes at the volcanoa staggering spike of more than three times the average. Earthquakes swarms at the volcano, a seismically active area, are common and do not necessarily mean an eruption is imminent, according to experts. But seismologists believe the spate of quakes could lead to the disturbance of a nearby volcano considered even more dangerous than Mount St Helens. Seth Moran, head of US Geological Survey’s (USGS) Cascades Volcano Observatory, said Mount Rainier is the most dangerous volcano in Washington. Every 500 to 1,000 years, Mount Rainier, the highest mountain in Washington, releases cascades of volcanic mud known as lahars. “That's a long time from a humanity perspective, but from a geologic perspective that's pretty frequent and a really good reason for believing it's going to happen again,” Moran said. These landslides of lava roar down the 45 mile long Puyallup River, by the west side of Mount Rainier, towards the city of Tacoma. If Mount Rainier were to unleash a large lahar, tens of thousands of the people, including the communities of Orting, Sumner and Puyallup, would be in its path. In extreme circumstances, the entire 211,277 population of Tacoma could be threatened by onslaughts of lava. Moran said research shows the “unstable” volcano and could be on the brink of releasing another deadly lahar. “We've done studies of the volcano itself and there are parts of the volcano, of the cone, that we know are somewhat unstable and have the potential to let loose again with one of these things," Moran said. “The likely scenario is it wouldn't happen unless the volcano is in a state of unrest or eruption.” In the event of an eruption, Tacoma residents would have around 45 minutes to evacuate before lava flooded the city, according to Moran. Moran said he doesn’t think the earthquake swarm is related to Mount St Helens, raising the possibility Mount Rainier may have been affected. Bill Steele, of the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network, added: "Mount St Helens is the most active volcano in the Cascades and will likely erupt again in the coming decades, but this is to the northeast of the mountain and it's not in the magmatic system that feeds the volcano." Around one to five earthquakes strike near Mount St Helens a month, according to USGS. “The last swarm here was in October 2010 with a magnitude 2 maximum,” a USGS spokesperson said. "The M 3.9 is the second largest earthquake in the immediate Mount St Helens area since 1981. "There have been over 100 felt reports spanning the Portland area in the south to the Puget Sound in the north. "The largest earthquake in the region was a M 4.2 at Johnston Ridge Observatory on Valentine's Day 2011."

Pakistan brings Chinese yuan on par with US dollar for investment & trade with Beijing

Published time: 4 Jan, 2018 15:22 Edited time: 4 Jan, 2018 19:34

Pakistani companies have been given a green light to use the Chinese yuan in trade with Beijing, which could potentially sideline the US dollar and other currencies used there. The move coincides with a US-Pakistan aid row. The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) said it “has taken comprehensive policy-related measures to ensure that imports, exports and financing transactions can be denominated in CNY,” according to a statement issued late on Tuesday. CNY is now effectively on par with the US dollar, euro and other international currencies in the country. Companies are free to engage in CNY transactions with immediate effect. “SBP has already put in place the required regulatory framework which facilitates use of Chinese yuan in trade and investment transactions,” the bank said. It also noted the “growing size of trade and investment” between Pakistan and China under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) agreement. The use of yuan will further boost bilateral trade and “will yield long-term benefits for both [of] the countries,” the bank added. While Islamabad and Beijing had already been considering ditching the US dollar for yuan in bilateral trade for some time, the announcement comes at a particularly low point in US-Pakistani relations. US President Donald Trump has vowed to halt US aid to the country, stating in a recent tweet that Washington has “foolishly given Pakistan more than $33 billion in aid over the last 15 years, and they have given us nothing but lies and deceit.” Trump has been repeatedly accusing Islamabad of providing a “safe haven to the terrorists,” referring to Taliban militants. The US administration subsequently confirmed that it would further withhold $255 million of military aid to Pakistan. Islamabad has expressed “deep disappointment” over Washington’s decision, while describing Trump’s remarks as “completely incomprehensible.”

Like Earth, space has weather. Except instead of swirling winds and downpours of precipitation, space weather is defined by shifting electric and magnetic fields and rains of charged particles. At the very beginning of space, starting just 60 miles above Earth's surface, there's a layer of the atmosphere that shifts and changes in concert with both types of weather. Above the ozone layer, the ionosphere is a part of Earth's atmosphere where particles have been cooked into a sea of electrically-charged electrons and ions by the Sun's radiation. The ionosphere is comingled with the very highest—and quite thin—layers of Earth's neutral upper atmosphere, making this region an area that is constantly in flux undergoing the push-and-pull between Earth's conditions and those in space. Increasingly, these layers of near-Earth space are part of the human domain, as it's home not only to astronauts, but to radio signals used to guide airplanes and ships, and satellites that provide our communications and GPS systems. Understanding the fundamental processes that govern our upper atmosphere and ionosphere is crucial to improve situational awareness that helps protect astronauts, spacecraft and humans on the ground. Two new NASA missions are teaming up to explore this little-understood area that's close to home but historically hard to observe. The Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk, or GOLD, instrument launches aboard a commercial communications satellite in January 2018, and the Ionospheric Connection Explorer, or ICON, spacecraft launches later in 2018. Together, they will provide the most comprehensive observations of the ionosphere we've ever had. The two missions provide distinct but complementary perspectives: ICON, in low-Earth orbit, flies directly through and just above regions of interest, capturing detailed remote and in situ data on the forces that shape this area. GOLD, in geostationary orbit over the Western Hemisphere, will build up a full-disk view of the ionosphere and upper atmosphere every half hour, providing detailed large-scale measurements of related processes—a cadence which makes it the first mission to be able to monitor the true weather of the upper atmosphere, rather than the longer cycles of its climate. GOLD is also able to focus in on a tighter region and scan more quickly, to complement additional research plans as needed. The missions could be likened to photography we're familiar with on Earth. GOLD specializes in landscapes from its view 22,000 miles above the planet's surface and ICON—at 350 miles above Earth—captures detailed close-ups. During parts of its orbit, ICON passes through GOLD's field of view and each mission will get a unique snapshot of the same region. This overlap in their data makes it easier to identify what caused a certain change to the upper atmosphere at a given time. One shared goal for the missions is to systematically measure weather-related shifts in the upper atmosphere. For the first time, we'll be able to see how the upper atmosphere changes in response to hurricanes and geomagnetic storms alike. "We used to think only solar wind could affect the ionosphere, and only the lower atmosphere was affected by terrestrial weather," said Doug Rowland, ICON mission scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. The solar wind is the Sun's constant outflow of charged particles and magnetized material. "But now we're going to get to see how that energy couples together." Several types of terrestrial weather events are of particular interest. Scientists from the University of California, Berkeley, for example, have developed a theoretical model of El Niño's repercussions on the ionosphere. Their model suggests El Niño-driven warming of the Pacific Ocean causes an increase in water vapor, which in turn increases the amount of solar energy the atmosphere absorbs. That added heat causes wind patterns to fluctuate and alter conditions in the ionosphere. Tropical cyclones are also suspected to have effects on the ionosphere. Data from ICON and GOLD are expected to answer these questions and further reveal unanticipated mechanisms at work. "There are huge scientific modeling efforts associated with both of these missions," said Sarah Jones, GOLD mission scientist at NASA Goddard. "We already have models that are filled with really good science, but these new measurements will lead to a better understanding of the physics in the models." In addition to working together to determine how different types of energy flow through the upper atmosphere, the two missions also have their own research objectives. GOLD's science focuses on observing what drives change—the Sun, Earth's magnetic field and the lower atmosphere—in the upper atmosphere. GOLD is particularly interested in how the upper atmosphere reacts to geomagnetic storms, which are temporary disturbances of Earth's magnetic field set off by solar activity. During nighttime, GOLD examines disruptions in the ionosphere—dense, unpredictable bubbles of charged gas that appear over the equator and tropics, sometimes interfering with radio communications. On the other hand, ICON concentrates on how charged and neutral gases in the upper atmosphere behave and interact. Several forces—including shifts in neutral winds, pressure gradients and solar activity—act on the ionosphere simultaneously; ICON was designed to study each of them individually, making it easier for scientists to elucidate cause-and-effect relationships. ICON and GOLD join a small fleet of spacecraft that study a vast interconnected system from the space surrounding Earth and other planets to the farthest limits of the Sun's constantly flowing streams of solar wind. A third mission in the fleet—the 16-year-old Thermosphere, Ionosphere, Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics, or TIMED, will specifically complement the new efforts to study the upper atmosphere. TIMED, which launched in 2001, doesn't carry all the instruments necessary to analyze the motion of the particles in the upper atmosphere that ICON and GOLD bring to the effort, but it still can provide key measurements from a third vantage point to help scientists fill in pieces of the puzzle. Together they will provide key information about how Earth's upper atmosphere connects to the dynamic and complex system of space that fills our solar system.

Major chip flaws affect billions of devices

by Selena Larson @CNNTech January 4, 2018: 9:44 AM ET

Two major flaws in computer chips could leave a huge number of computers and smartphones vulnerable to security concerns, researchers revealed Wednesday. And a U.S. government-backed body warned that the chips themselves need to be replaced to completely fix the problems. The flaws could allow an attacker to read sensitive data stored in the memory, like passwords, or look at what tabs someone has open on their computer, researchers found. Daniel Gruss, a researcher from Graz University of Technology who helped identify the flaw, said it may be difficult to execute an attack, but billions of devices were impacted. Related: Apple says all Macs and iOS devices affected by chip flaws Called Meltdown and Spectre, the flaws exist in processors, a building block of computers that acts as the brain. Modern processors are designed to perform something called "speculative execution." That means they predict what tasks they will be asked to execute and rapidly access multiple areas of memory at the same time. That data is supposed to be protected and isolated, but researchers discovered that in some cases, the information can be exposed while the processor queues it up. Researchers say almost every computing system -- desktops, laptops, smartphones, and cloud servers -- is affected by the Spectre bug. Meltdown appears to be specific to Intel (INTC) chips. "More specifically, all modern processors capable of keeping many instructions in flight are potentially vulnerable. In particular, we have verified Spectre on Intel, AMD, and ARM processors," the researchers said. Related: What to do about the Spectre and Meltdown risks Government agencies issued statements warning users about the vulnerabilities. The U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team said that while the flaws "could allow an attacker to obtain access to sensitive information," it's not so far aware of anyone doing so. The agency urged people to read a detailed statement on the vulnerabilities by the Software Engineering Institute, a U.S.-government funded body that researches cybersecurity problems. The institute said that "fully removing the vulnerability requires replacing vulnerable [processor] hardware." It later changed its guidance on Thursday to suggest updating software was enough. The institute didn't say why it had made the change and didn't immediately respond to a request for further information. It said the problems affect technology giants including Apple, Google and Microsoft. Related: The year tech took a dark turn The U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team recommended that users read advice posted online by Microsoft and software company Mozilla. The U.K.'s National Cyber Security Center advised organizations and individuals to "continue to protect their systems from threats by installing patches as soon as they become available." Google (GOOGL) programmer Jann Horn of Project Zero was one of the researchers who discovered the flaws. In a blog post, he said his group alerted chipmakers to the issues in June. Since last fall, security researchers and companies have investigated and updated software systems to address the flaws. Related: Hackers take advantage of bitcoin's wild ride Intel chips are found in everything from personal computers to medical equipment. The company's shares were down 3% on Wednesday. The company said in a press release that "many types of computing devices — with many different vendors' processors and operating systems — are susceptible to these exploits." Intel said it is working with other chipmakers, including AMD and ARM Holdings, to solve the issue. ARM said in a statement a small subset of its processors are susceptible to the flaws. AMD said in a statement there is a "near zero risk of exploitation" for one of the security issues, due to architecture differences. A fix requires both the chip manufacturers and software makers to update their products before pushing it out. Estimates posted on Linux message boards suggested computer performance could slow down between 5% and 30% once patched, however Intel said users will not see significant performance changes. Tech website The Register was first to report the processor flaws on Tuesday. A spokesperson for Microsoft (MSFT) told CNNMoney the company is aware of the issue and is in the process of deploying mitigations to cloud services and has released security updates to protect Windows users. Related: The hacks that left us exposed in 2017 Google's Cloud Platform has been updated to prevent the vulnerabilities, the company said. Amazon (AMZN) said in a statement most of its cloud computing machines affected by the flaw are already protected, but it was updating the rest on Wednesday. Apple (AAPL) revealed Thursday that all its Mac and iOS devices were affected by the flaws, but said that "there are no known exploits impacting customers at this time." The company has already released some fixes for Meltdown, and will release others for Spectre in subsequent updates. It's important for all users to update their devices when new updates are released. Flaws in chips are unusual. Back in 1994, a major error in Intel's Pentium processor caused computers to incorrectly calculate results. -- Jethro Mullen contributed to this report.

Apple reveals ALL iPhones, iPads and Macs are at risk from devastating Intel and ARM chip 'design flaws' that could expose billions of people's personal data to hackers

Full details of the Meltdown and Spectre processor bugs emerged yesterday

Macs, iPhones, iPads and Apple TV all hit by the weakness according to Apple

It threatens to give cyber criminals access to passwords and other private data

Apple warned customers to only download software from trusted sources

By Associated Press and Tim Collins For Mailonline Published: 20:15 EST, 4 January 2018 | Updated: 16:05 EST, 5 January 2018

Every iPhone, iPad and Mac device could be at risk of being hacked. Apple has confirmed that almost all of its devices are affected by Intel and Arm chip 'design flaws' that could expose billions of people's personal data to cyber criminals. The flaws leave the devices open to the devastating 'Meltdown' and 'Spectre' bugs, discovered by security researchers. The tech company has warned its customers to only download software for its platforms from trusted sources, like the App Store. Apple says it has already put measures in place to help protect its customers from Meltdown and more will be released in the coming days. The firm plans to release further measures for its Safari web browser to help defend against Spectre. Browser makers Google, Microsoft Corp and Mozilla Corp’s Firefox all confirmed to Reuters that the patches they currently have in place do not protect iOS users. With Safari and virtually all other popular browsers not patched, hundreds of millions of iPhone and iPad users may have no secure means of browsing the web until Apple issues its patch. Apple stressed that there were no known instances of hackers taking advantage of the flaw to date. In a written statement, Apple said: 'All Mac systems and iOS devices are affected, but there are no known exploits impacting customers at this time. 'Since exploiting many of these issues requires a malicious app to be loaded on your Mac or iOS device, we recommend downloading software only from trusted sources such as the App Store. 'We continue to develop and test further mitigations for these issues and will release them in upcoming updates of iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS.' Tech firms have been aware of the bugs since last year, with chip manufacturer Intel informed in June 2017, but the finds have only just gone public. Apple remained silent for more than a day about the fate of the hundreds of millions of users of its products. Ben Johnson, co-founder and chief strategist for cyber security firm Carbon Black, said the delay in updating customers about whether Apple’s devices are at risk could affect Apple’s drive to get more business customers to adopt its hardware.

Pentagon Seeks Laser-Powered Bat Drones. Really.

A new contest seeks flight systems inspired by Mother Nature and powered by directed-energy beams.

Tired: multi-rotor copters and fixed-wing drones. Wired: flying robots that move like living animals, are crafted of next-generation materials, and draw their power not from batteries but energy beamed from nearby aircraft. On Wednesday, the the Defense Enterprise Science Initiative, or DESI, announced a competition for basic science grants to build “new paradigms for autonomous flight, with a focus on highly-maneuverable platforms and algorithms for flight control and decision making.” An accompanying Broad Agency Announcement gets more specific: basically, they’re looking for bat-like drones that can be powered with directed-energy beams. “The biological study of agile organisms such as bats and flying insects has yielded new insights into complex flight kinematics of systems with a large number of degrees of freedom, and the use of multi-functional flight surface materials,” the announcement reads. The Air Force believes that more and more naturalistic designcoupled with more powerful and smaller sensors to form a better picture of the outside world — should yield “significant improvements in maneuverability, survivability and stealth over traditional quadcopter or fixed wing designs.” Biomimetic, or nature-imitating, designs for crawling, slinking and even swimming robots go back decades. The late 1960s brought a biologically inspired robot called Orm. But the field accelerated in the late 1990s and early 2000s, bolstered by labs at MIT, Harvard, Stanford, and Berkeley and research out of Japan and China. (Chinese robotic fish are nearly ten years old.) The Defense Department eventually commissioned its first bio-inspired robot, a wall-climber called SpinyBot, which debuted in 2006. But getting flying machines to mimic nature is a good deal more difficult and more complicated than teaching robots to swim and crawl, which is why even the military’s smallest drones have followed conventional aerodynamic designs. One of the key barriers is power distribution. Running a motor to spin a propeller is a straightforward affair. While there are multiple examples of flexible-wing drones today, such as the bird-like RobotSwift and the bat-like RoboBat, today’s best consumer bird-like drones can generally fly for just a few minutes. That works for a lunch break in the park but not great for fighting deep behind enemy lines. But what if you could juice up your drone in flight by hitting it with a laser?Wireless power transmission could augment existing technologies and enable new paradigms for warfighter operations in denied environments, unmanned or autonomous surveillance and weapons systems,” the announcement reads. From where would the power be beamed? The announcement leaves that up to the proposer, but suggests that it could be “transmitted either from the ground or from a high-altitude platform.” Read that to mean a plane overhead invisibly shooting power to the bird drone. The other challenge: constructing a sensing, seeing, computing drone from something other than metal. The announcement also calls for new research into next-generation airplane skins that sense and even transmit data from the environment around them while also moving to allow high maneuverability. “To achieve robust, resilient, and energetically versatile agility and dexterity rivaling biological systems, robotic systems require breakthrough components featuring locally tunable material properties with embedded sensing and actuation.” The total ceiling for the grants is $6 million.

Clinton’s Trail of Bodies Grows, but Her Noose Is Tightening

By Dave Hodges

Bruce Steinberg and John Cruz were in possession of information that could have implicated both James Comey and Hillary Clinton in several criminal conspiracies. Today, one man is still alive and telling the story of Clinton/Comey criminal conspiracies and the other man’s corpse is not even recognizable after being burned beyond recognition in Costa Rica. Bridgewater, James Comey and Bruce Steinberg There is one significant and clear reason why John Cruz and his family are alive and Bruce Steinberg and his family are all dead. More on that later in the article. Who is Bruce Steinberg? Or should I say, who was Bruce Steinberg? Bruce Steinberg and his entire family perished in fiery plane crash in Costa Rica that killed ten people. Steinberg was also an executive at Bridgewater Associates, a company which, as Politico is reporting that James Comey spent three years as an executive employed by Bridgewater. Bridgewater Associates is a $150 billion hedge fund founded by Ray Dalio that the New Yorker has labeled “the world’s richest and strangest hedge fund”, as The New Yorker reported back in June of 2016. Ray Dalio was a key Clinton supporter and was staunchly opposed to Donald Trump. The Clinton’s were fighting rumors that they were involved Bridgewater’s more nefarious activities along with James Comey. And now the link between Bridgewater and the Clintons is dead along with his entire family. This is reminiscent of so many other Clinton deals gone bad (ie Whitewater) and the trail of bodies that follows a Clinton-inspired financial fiasco (eg McDougal). But Wait…The Trail of Bodies Grows Even Longer Zero Hedge is reporting in yet another airplane crash, involving ANOTHER small aircraft, , in another crash, that the Compass Group Plc Chief Executive Officer Richard Cousins and four members of Cousins family were killed in another event identical to the Steingberg family. Cousin;s seaplane crashed into the Hawkesbury River in Sydney, Australia. Cousins’ company the Compass Group built the Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock. And how could Cousins have been a threat to the Clintons? Deciding what to put into the Presidential Library is an arduous task. One has to filter through volumes of documents and material that will not make it into the library. This task would have put Cousins in possession of some potentially damning information about the Clinton’s crminal activities. Of course, Cousins, on behalf of his firm, would have had to sign a non-disclosure agreement. However, such an agreement would not have been immune from a Federal subpoena for criminal wrongdoing. If I were an criminal investigator, this would be the starting point of any investigation into the Clinton criminal cartel. Are Steingberg and Cousins just another strange set of coincidences or, is there more? I have yet, another coincidence. From Neon Nettle: One of the United States’ leading surgeons, who exposed misappropriation of funds by the Clinton Foundation in Haiti, has been found dead after being stabbed in the torso. Dr. Dean Lorich was found on the bathroom floor of his New York apartment by his 11-year-old daughter with a knife still stuck in his chest at around 1 pm on Monday. Those who follow Wikileaks and have investigated Hillary Clinton’s emails may recognize Dr. Dean Lorich’s name already. In 2010, Lorich was part of a relief effort that flew to Haiti as a volunteer to offer his skills for civilians who had been injured during the earthquakes that devastated the region. Within 24 hours of the earthquake, a 13-member team of surgeons, anesthesiologists, and operating room nurses was assembled, with a massive amount of orthopedic operating room equipment, and flew to Port-au-Prince with Dr. Lorich. Bill and Hillary Clinton’s “charitable” Clinton foundation led the relief effort in Haiti raising millions of dollars from around the world to help the people recover from the natural disaster. Sadly, most of the funds never reached the people of Haiti, but instead, lined the pockets of the Clintons’ associates who were meant to redevelop the nation, but never delivered. Dr. Lorich and his team were there to help save the limbs of those injured, which without the proper medical treatment, would have meant amputation for a lot of people…. Another man with damning criminal information about the Clinton cartel is dead and this cannot even be disguised as an accident. Another Brewing Clinton-Based Criminal Conspiracy President Trump is hot on the trail of Hillary Clinton. He has reacted to the suspicious fire at her residence with suspicion. Here is the President’s tweet on this matter: Crooked Hillary Clinton’s top aide, Huma Abedin, has been accused of disregarding basic security protocols. She put Classified Passwords into the hands of foreign agents. Remember sailors pictures on a submarine? Jail! Deep State Justice Dept must finally act? Also on Comey & others,”…. And then there is this tweet as the President is determined to force the DOJ to reopen the meail investigation. Many people in our Country are asking what the ‘Justice’ Department is going to do about the fact that totally Crooked Hillary, AFTER receiving a subpoena from the United States Congress, deleted and ‘acid washed’ 33,000 Emails? No justice!” And now we conveniently have a fire. A fire in which potentially incriminating evidence is destroyed just days after these aforementioned Trump Tweets which threatened to reopen the investigation. A Chappaqua Fire Department source confirmed fears that incriminating evidence against the Clintons has been destroyed just days after a White House insider warned that Donald Trump was preparing to prosecute their crimes.  ”I saw smashed up hard drives, melted memory cards and the charred remains of paper scattered all over the room and immediately knew the fire must have started there,” a Chappaqua Fire Department source told local news reporters”I immediately called it a code 10-41 and requested a Fire Marshall,” explained a firefighter, after it was made clear that the house fire was “put out by Secret Service agents” before the Fire Department arrived.  Code 10-41 is firefighters’ code for a suspicious fire. It is prudent at this point in time to revisit the John Cruz allegations against Comey and the Clinton family cartel. They provide a global view of the extent of their criminal activity and the large scale in which this criminal activity is conducted.  Former Sr. HSBC Vice-President, John Cruz, Reveals Governmental and Banking Criminality Beyond Belief John Cruz is your ordinary family man. He put himself through college and worked his way up the corporate ladder. He excelled at working with bank customers. He rose to the position of Sr. Vice-President of HSBC Bank. Everything was fine was until he discovered that his bank was laundering drug money for the cartels and terrorists and some of the money ended up in the hands of the elite such as Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation. And it is not just the laundering of money that is critical, it is more a matter of WHO was involved. A Rude Awakening John Cruz was fired from his job at HSBC Bank in New York for whistle-blowing on the bank’s illegal activities, his family was threatened. and yet, he still feels that everyone needs to know what goes on behind the scenes of a major bank. Cruz even reported the illegal money laundering to Homeland Security, but to no avail. He should be an American hero, but instead, he was chastized, employment was hard to find and he lives in constant fear of his life. If it were not for the tapes he’s made and held back, for leverage sake, he would already be dead as well. The Cruz tapes are the only reason he is still alive and Steinberg’s as well as the Cousins’ family were wiped out in in a pair of fiery airplane crashes. I have interviewed John Cruz several times in the past and as a result, I was the first to report on this inside story of monumental corruption involving HSBC Bank and the story of John Cruz, a critical eyewitness, who was serving as a Vice-President at HSBC at the time. The third interview with John Cruz produced first-hand eyewitness testimony that can only be described as stunning. Senior Managment at HSBC Bank Wanted to “Know Nothing” John Cruz discovered that massive amounts of durg cartel and terrorist money was being luandered through HSBC. Cruz investigated and found evidence of multiple money-laundering operations. He went to his bosses and reported what he found after he had conducted field operational investigations and found evidence of boiler rooms operations and fake business addresses, etc. His bosses told him to get back to work and to forget what he had told them. The head of HSBC security told him “This is how we make money, forget what you think you have seen” Why You Should Be Outraged Cruz also discovered that millions of Americans, unknown to themselves, have had fake stolen identity accounts opened up all around the world in order to launder money, resulting from drug transactions, in their name. That means that both you and I have our collective names associated with the most dangerous cartel members and terrorists on the planet and we don’t even know it. If you run afoul of the former Obama/Clinton administration, this information could be used to falsely set you up. A work-related investigation could also turn up these anomalies. Every American should be outraged and when we add in the relevations contained in the following paragraphs, the American people should be shutting down their government, storing their own food, water, gold, guns and ammuntion. Every American should be taking the bulk of their money out of the bank and investing in previous metals. Civil disobedience should become the new national past-time, if the perpetrators do not go to prison. And who are the perpetrators? Hillary Clinton- Failed Presidential candidate James Comey- Fired FBI Director Loretta Lynch- Former Attorney General Eric Holder- Former Attorney General Government Accomplices to HSBC’s Money Laundering: Comey and Clinton "I'm in" According to Cruz, her Clinton Foundation profited from HSBC's terrorist affiliations. Hillary’s Clinton Foundation profited from HSBC’s terrorist affiliations, acording to John Cruz. The former FBI Director, James Comey was into the corruption up to his ears. According to Cruz, Comey moved money from HSBC to the Clinton Foundation when he was on the board of HSBC. For the purposes of brevity, I will confine this discussion to the respective roles of Comey and Clinton. However, there is enough evidence of wrongdoing to send Loretta Lynch and Eric Holder to prison as well. I have previously documented how FBI director Comey served on the Board of Directors at HSBC during the time of the coverup of the criminal activities. Comey is not the only senior federal government official implicated in the crimes of HSBC either through participation or coverup. I asked Cruz about Comey and he was aware that Comey had been on the board of directors at HSBC bank and was responsible for “moving money”. We now know that moving money meant, in part, included moving money to the Clinton Foundation, which was funneled into her presidential campaign. How many felonies do you count here? And are we surpised that Comey gave Clinton a free pass for her illegal emails? Comey should be in jail, right next to Clinton. Cruz also stated that the Clinton emails undoubtedly deal with her involvement with HSBC and the connection to the Clinton Foundation. And beside Hillary Clinton, who was at the center of it all? That would be none other than James Comey. HOW LONG HAS THE COMMON SENSE SHOW HAD THIS INFORMATION? THE ANSWER WILL SHOCK YOU….. ON THE COMMON SENSE SHOW (7/31/16), CRUZ STATED THAT LYNCH “HAD FULL KNOWLEDGE” OF WHAT TRANSPIRED AT HSBC BANK. HOW DOES HE KNOW THAT? BECAUSE HE GAVE HER SECRET TAPE RECORDINGS HE MADE ALONG WITH DOCUMENTS DEMONSTRATING, NOT ONLY THE ABOUT MONEY LAUNDERING, BUT THE SENIOR OFFICIALS AT THE BANK ENGAGED IN A COVERUP. LORETTA LYNCH IS AN ACCOMPLICE TO MONEY LAUNDERING FOR THE DRUG CARTELS AND TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD. AND HERE IS THE SHOCKER, THE MONEY LAUNDERING IS RELATED TO GUN RUNNING, CHILD-SEX TRAFFICKING AND DRUG RUNNING AND THE CORE OF THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION WAS INVOLVED UP TO THEIR EYEBALLS INCLUDING FORMER FBI DIRECTOR, JAMES COMEY- DEFEND THAT DEMOCRATS! Conclusion The Clinton Foundation is a total criminal enterprise. They may wear their suits and ties and stand up and say the pledge. However, make no mistake about it, we, the American people are living under a complete Deep State mafia. Only Donald Trump offers hope. Many of the Cruz tapes I alluded to are available on the Cruz website. The question that we are left with is how far are the American people willing to go with this criminal enterprise? President Trump has these criminal in his crosshairs. As John Cruz so aptly points out, the child-sex-trafficking (ie Pizzagate/Pedogate) are merely the tip of the iceberg as to what will soon be available for prosecution. The above radio interview was conducted on The Common Sense Show on 7/24/16. The interview was interrupted as I was taken off the air just as I was going to introduce John Cruz to my audience. Our health reporter at that time, Katy Whelan, was not prepped to do the interview, but admirably picked up the slack until I could get back onto the air. I was off air for four minutes. The show is broadcast on Global Star Radio Network and it goes out over two satellites at the same time, each satellite broadcase is located on opposite ends of the country. My studio radio equipment was still operating, but I, alone was disconnected from the air. I was only able to reocnnect with Global Star Radio Network through Skype. In the hour following the Cruz interview, my studio equipment was, once again, able to connect with our satellites. This was similar to what happened when I tried to be the first non-mainstream media show to interview Ammon Bundy. The Obama administration interfered with this broadcast because they do not want you to know the truth. Well, the truth is located right here. These are the lengths that the Obama mafia would go to keep the truth from coming out. Donald Trump will have his day of reckoning against this criminal cartel. AMERICA, WHEN WILL YOU WAKE UP?

COMEY BUSTED! FBI Chief FOIA Officer Confirms ALL OF COMEY’S Memos Were Classified at Time They Were Written     January 4, 2018 by Jim Hoft

Judicial Watch Director of Investigations Chris Farrell went on with Lou Dobbs on Thursday to discuss former fired FBI Director James Comey’s criminal activity regarding the private memos he leaked to the liberal media. Farrell told Lou Dobbs that the acting FBI Chief FOIA Officer confirmed that ALL of James Comey’s memos were classified at the time they were written and are still classified today. James Comey leaked the classified documents to a liberal reporter and friend to publish which is a federal crime. Chris Farrell: We have a sworn declaration from David Hardy who is the Chief FOIA Officer of the FBI that we obtained just in the last few days. And in that sworn declaration Mr. Hardy says that all of Comey’s memos, all of them, were classified at the time they were written and they remain classified.

Fusion GPS rats out John McCain on Trump ‘Russian dossier’

Posted on January 5, 2018 by Dr. Eowyn | 51 Comments

Fusion GPS is the opposition research firm that, in 2016, was first hired by unnamed Republican(s) during the GOP primaries to dig up dirt on Donald Trump. After Trump won the GOP primaries to become the Republican presidential nominee, the DNC and Hillary Clinton’s campaign hired Fusion GPS to do the same. Note: According to Fusion GPS (see below), the conservative news website Washington Free Beacon were the Republicans who hired the firm. See “Fusion GPS, hired by Hillary for dirt on Trump, also paid 3 journalists” Fusion GPS then hired a former MI6 spook named Christopher Steele, who proceeded to concoct what became known as the “Russian dossier” on Trump, which included the fictitious “golden shower” account of Trump hiring Russian prostitutes to urinate on a Moscow hotel bed. See “Trump ‘fake news’ dossier’s creator, British spook Chris Steele, fears for his life” Someone, long rumored to be Sen. “snake tongue” “wandering boot” John McCain — whose foundation (McCain Institute) is funded by George Soros, the Rothschilds and the Saudis — then gave the Russian dossier to the website Buzzfeed, which published it in January 2017. Carl Bernstein in January 2017 first identified John McCain as having been given the Russian dossier by Chris Steele. According to Bernstein, McCain then handed it to the FBI. (New York Post) Now we have confirmation of the McCain rumor, from none other than Fusion GPS. On January 2, 2018, in a New York Times op/ed, Fusion GPS’ founders and former journalists Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch identified The Washington Free Beacon and Hillary’s campaign as, respectively, the Republican and Democratic funders of its Trump research who “separately came to hire us [Fusion GPS] in the first place.” This is what Simpson and Fritsch wrote about John McCain: After the election, Mr. Steele decided to share his intelligence with Senator John McCain via an emissary. We helped him do that. The goal was to alert the United States national security community to an attack on our country by a hostile foreign power. We did not, however, share the dossier with BuzzFeed, which to our dismay published it last January. What is ironic is that it’s John McCain who, in 2008, had illegally solicited campaign contribution from Russia.

As Boston digs out from Thursday's blizzard that dumped over a foot of snow and led to its worst flooding in 40 years, it was faced with another weather headache - single-digit temperatures that created rivers of ice water and trapped a number of cars. Images from Boston on Friday show cars stuck in frozen floodwaters that reach up to the hoods in some cases. Some car owners tried to prepare for the storm by lifting their windshield wipers and opening their trunks so that they wouldn't be buried under snow and frozen. But it is unlikely they anticipated that the cars would be done in by floodwaters. One amateur video filmed in Revere, Massachusetts, the coastal city just north of Boston, showed a large sheet of ice covering the street. According to The Boston Globe, about 20 residents needed to be evacuated from their homes. Some of them were rescued by high-water vehicles deployed by the National Guard. Sixty cars were damaged after high tides flooded the parking lot of a high school in Gloucester, The Boston Globe reported. The frigid temperatures - Boston's high was only 15 degrees on Friday - will continue to blanket the area for the next 48 hours. Overnight, the low temperature could reach -1, with wind chills of -35 in some places. That's balmy compared to the -100 wind chill that can be felt on Mount Washington, the highest peak in the Northeast United States. The winter storm has claimed the lives of nearly two dozen Americans, according to the New York Daily News. In Virginia, a nine-year-old girl who was sledding while visiting relatives was struck and killed by a pickup truck. Also in Virginia, a 75-year-old man was hit and killed by a snowplow while clearing snow from parking lots. According to the National Weather Service, Boston broke the record for the highest ever recorded tide on Thursday. Benjamin Sipprell, a meteorologist in Boston for the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, told the Daily Beast that the flooding was a result of the blizzard hitting at high tide, and the high tide being higher than usual due to Wednesday's supermoon. A supermoon is a full moon that occurs when the moon is closest to Earth in its orbit. This happens about four to The tides are caused by the moon's orbit, and are at their highest during full moons. Supermoons bring them even higher. 'Normal tides in Boston are between 9 and 10 feet,' Sipprell explained. 'When we get tides, we get some that go up to 12 feet or more. We were forecasting 12.1 feet with this one, but with the surge, it got bumped up to 15 feet. 'It's definitely historic.' It ended up being a disastrous combination when Winter Storm Grayson hit the city right at high ride - flooding the Seaport district in waist deep freezing water. It was the first time that the city had seen such flooding since the blizzard of 1978. The situation was even worse in the coastal towns of Plum Island and Scituate. On Plum Island, the high tide washed out a road connecting the barrier island to the town of Newburyport and residents had to be rescued by a National Guard high-water vehicle. In Scituate, a town on Boston's South Shore, waves crashed over beachside homes However, he says the biggest component of all in the flooding was the storm itself. 'The storm was the biggest thing of all,' he noted. 'The combination of the Arctic air mass surging south and the subtropical air mass going north [along with] the massive deepening low [pressure] means that we were going to deal with coastal flooding.' There was also another component that others were blaming the flooding on - global warming. Boston Mayor Marty Walsh was quick to blame climate change. 'If anyone wants to question global warming, just see where the flood zones are. Those zones didn't flood 30 years ago,' he said Thursday. And some exerts agree. Richard Alley, a sociologist at Penn State, told the Daily Beast that the sea level has been rising because of 'human-caused warming'. 'Most of the high water in Boston and elsewhere along the East Coast is from the wind, but a little bit of extra flooding can be traced to the ocean starting out higher that it was in the past,' he said. Additionally, warmer seas cause more powerful storms. Now that the storm has passed, the worst isn't even over for Boston yet. The storm has been followed by a blast of Arctic Air that's expect to keep temperatures well below freezing this weekend. That means that if the flooding isn't cleaned up fast, it could freeze over and cause even more of a problem in the coming days.

God's 'Cold Fury' Unleashed - Was A Prophetic Word Given 23 Years Ago, In Great Detail Coming To Pass, And Are The Great Quakes Next?

By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine January 5, 2018

In response to a request by ANP to Steve Quayle for permission to use a screen shot of prophetic word given to Quayle in 1994, which is posted on his website, after granting permission, Steve offered the following quote: "In the last couple of days the Lord has impressed upon my spirit to tell his people to repent and read, memorize and quote Psalm 23 and Psalm 91, as there will be great loss of life in the U.S. due to volcanoes in the Cascadia region coming active along with great EQ's in both the U.S. and South America and world wide- but He is now bringing this 23 year old word to pass, specifically in dealing with America's perversions and total rebellion against Him." The first four paragraphs, shown in the screen shot below are eerily descriptive of what we are witnessing today as God's "Cold Fury" sweeps across the east after drought and fire decimated parts of the west.

SQPropheticWarning94.jpg MUST READ- Entire 1994 prophecy. GOD'S 'COLD FURY'

As the chill map above taken on January 5, 2018 shows, much of the U.S. is experiencing freezing temperatures, with wind chill warnings being issued across the east coast as yet another winter storm blasts through as the "arctic outbreak" continues. Weather-related deaths have already been reported in North and South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Texas, Wisconsin, Missouri, and North Dakota this week, as businesses and schools are closing, some airline and railway services are being cancelled, with thousands of utility outages reported. An example of the wind chill warnings, such as the one for Garret County, MD, states the following: * WHAT...Dangerously cold wind chills expected. The dangerously cold wind chills will cause frostbite in as little as 10 minutes to exposed skin. Expect wind chills to range from 10 below zero to 30 below zero. * WHERE...Portions of southwest Pennsylvania, western Maryland and northern West Virginia. * WHEN...Until 3 PM EST Saturday. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... A Wind Chill Warning means the combination of very cold air and the wind will create dangerously low wind chill values. Frost bite can occur quickly and even hypothermia or death if precautions are not taken. In the deep south officials have taken to opening up warming centers, as hospitals in places like Atlanta are seeing a surge in emergency room visits for hypothermia and even in states as far south as Florida, reports of cold-blooded reptiles, like Iguana's, are raining down from trees after being rendered immobile from the plummeting temperatures. 'Cold Fury' seems to be an apt description as the weather is predicted to become even colder. WEST COAST BURNS - GREAT FIRES AND DROUGHT 2017 was California's largest and most destructive fire season in a decade, following years of drought. In Ventura County where hundreds and hundreds of structures were destroyed with wildfires devastating the entire area in early December 2017. By the years end, the Thomas Fire (Ventura and Santa Barbara counties) has encompassed over 281,893 acres, with only 91 percent containment, destroyed over a thousand structures with damage to nearly 300 more. Creek fire (Sylmar) spread over 15,619 acres, and 60 residences and 63 other structures were destroyed with another 55 residences and 26 other structures listed as damaged, and an additional 2,500 structures marked as threatened. (More at LA Times) As Steve Quayle pointed out this morning via email, more fires will follow the great quakes, "The word will be ongoing, look at the timing of these judgments, as they are taking place at a time when corruption, perversion, murder, cannibalism, and child sacrifice are exploding, while the nation parties on, as foreigners plunder and treason reigns supreme." He continues on to say "Lawlessness has become the order of the day." It is hard to miss the timing of these events as sexual assault, rape scandals child abuse scandals, have beset Hollywood, and we see that some of the most powerful men in Silicon Valley are regulars at exclusive, drug-fueled, sex-laced parties that occur about once a month, in what Quayle calls the "Caligula's crowd." As California politicians flaunt federal laws in order to declare California a "sanctuary state," described as "CA going to hell in a handbasket," is it any wonder that God would render His judgment upon them? THE GREAT QUAKES ARE NEXT AND BEGINNING NOW.....

"THE PROPHETIC WORD IS BURNING IN MY HEART AND LIPS-LITERALLY I WANT TO VOMIT AT WHAT IS NOW UNFOLDING -I HAVE NO IDEA OF EXACT TIMING, BUT THE URGENCY IN MY SPIRIT IS PROFOUND, AS THE LOSS OF LIFE WILL BE HUGE. IT WILL START WITH A SMALL, SERIES OF QUAKES AND BUILD AND THE SCOFFERS WILL MOCK DURING THE SHORT PERIOD OF CALM AND THEN BOOM-LIKE DOMINOES THE GREAT QUAKES (MAGNITUDE 9 PLUS) WILL COME." - Steve Quayle, January 5, 2018 - via email.

Michael Snyder over at The Economic Collapse website highlights that there have been "68 earthquakes in the vicinity of Mount St. Helens since New Year’s Day, and there have been a total of 629 earthquakes in the state of California within the last 30 days." A strong 4.4 magnitude EQ rattled 9.8 million people in the Bay Area on Thursday, along the Hayward Fault. With the series of quakes in California, and the swarms in the Mount St. Helens area, one must also consider the volcano concerns, not just at Mount St. Helens, but along the whole Cascadia. While most focus on the Cascadia Subduction Zone fault and the ramifications if a megaquake was to occur there, not as many discuss the Cascade volcanoes, also referred to as the Cascade Volcanic Arc or the Cascade Arc, which runs from British Columbia, through Washington, Oregon and Northern California. According to the USGS, during the past 4,000 years, volcanoes in the Cascade Range have experienced eruptions on average of two a century and "periods of eruptive activity at various Cascade volcanoes have lasted for a few to tens of years per century." Volcanic threat is the combination of hazards (the dangerous or destructive natural phenomena produced by a volcano) and exposure (the people and property at risk from the volcanic phenomena). Based upon eruption history and distance to population centers, a national volcanic threat assessment (NVEWS) designated nine volcanoes in Washington and Oregon with a "high" or "very high" rating. Very High Threat: Crater Lake, Glacier Peak, Mount Baker, Mount Hood, Mount Rainier, Mount St. Helens, Mount Adams, Newberry, Three Sisters. HIGH: Mount Adams. The loss of life should some of these volcanoes erupt, along with the great quakes, would be catastrophic, hence Quayle's urging for people to repent and read, memorize and quote Psalm 23 and Psalm 91. We also note that in Yakima County, in Washington state, there is a gigantic 20 acre-long crack on Rattlesnake Ridge that has been active since October 2017. Via Strangesounds we see "It is 20 acres in size, is moving at a rate of about 1.3 feet per week and is accelerating each week."

Revelation 19:9-11 - King James Version (KJV) 9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. 11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. BOTTOM LINE I have heard Steve say on many occasions that he is not a prophet, does not consider himself one either, just someone who God called to warn his people. With that said, read the entire prophetic word from April 1994, at Steve Quayle's website.

Bay Area earthquake rattled 9.8 million people — and offers a preview of something much worse

Rong-Gong Lin II and Joseph SernaContact Reporters

January 4, 2018 5:15 pm Reporting from San Francisco

It was a sharp jolt but also a warning of something much more violent that could be coming. An estimated 9.8 million people felt a magnitude 4.4 earthquake that rumbled across the Bay Area early Thursday, the U.S. Geological Survey reported. It was felt throughout the region, with people more than 150 miles away reporting to the agency that they felt the shaking for perhaps five to 10 seconds. The epicenter of the earthquake is in the area of the Hayward fault, one of the most feared in the Bay Area, which could produce a magnitude 7 or greater earthquake and is directly underneath heavily populated areas. The Hayward fault, along with the San Andreas fault on the San Francisco Peninsula, have long posed a twin seismic peril to the region. The San Andreas produced the devastating 1989 Loma Prieta quake and 1906 San Francisco quake. Thursday’s quake was tiny by comparison and did little damage to speak of. The shaking was strong enough to wake people up when the earthquake hit at 2:39 a.m. One person in San Francisco said it was strong enough to knock picture frames from the wall. As is always the case, there was a 5% chance the temblor could trigger a larger quake in the near future. Dr. Lucy Jones

✔@DrLucyJones

Small quakes don’t “relieve stress” and make a big quake less likely. The ratio of small to large quakes is constant, so lots of little quakes make a big one a bit more likely. Every quake has a ~5% chance of triggering an “aftershock” larger than itself

9:41 AM - Jan 4, 2018

We live in earthquake country, so we should all expect earthquakes,” said Keith Knudsen, deputy director of the USGS Earthquake Science Center. “There will likely be aftershocks. There’s a small probability there will be bigger ones.” An earthquake early warning system under development worked — and sent data about the temblor to computers 4 seconds after it began, Knudsen said. In a real-world scenario, the jolt felt Thursday would probably not be considered big enough to issue a warning to residents in the path of the shaking, he said. “But having one up and running and testing it is really valuable to us. How much warning time one gets depends on how far away they are, how big it is, how dense the seismic network is and how rapidly the computers are processing,” he said. The system would typically allow a few seconds of warning for people not close to the epicenter — which would be enough time in theory to slow trains, stop elevators and allow people to brace themselves. When asked Thursday at a news conference whether Californians were ready for an earthquake, Knudsen demurred. “I’d ask you, are you prepared?” he said. “We’re doing better than we used to do. But there’s more that can be done.” The earthquake was felt as far away as Marin and Sonoma counties and the Silicon Valley. Some Bay Area residents reported that the earthquake woke them up. “Only M4.5, the size we have several times a year in California,” tweeted seismologist Lucy Jones. “But when you are right on top of a quake, it feels much stronger.” The Hayward fault courses right underneath Berkeley, Oakland, Hayward and Fremont and produces a large earthquake, on average, every 160 years, with a margin of error of about 80 years. It has been 150 years since the Hayward fault last ruptured, unleashing a huge earthquake. The Hayward fault’s most memorable earthquake in recorded history was in 1868, and is estimated to have been a magnitude 6.8 earthquake — rupturing 20 miles of the fault’s length between San Leandro to what is now the Warm Springs neighborhood of Fremont, according to the USGS. It killed about 30 people and caused immense property damage, including the collapse of the Alameda County Courthouse’s second floor and heavy damage at the historic Mission San Jose adobe church in southern The Hayward fault is considered one of the nation’s most dangerous faults because it is located directly under the urban centers of the East Bay, including Memorial Stadium at UC Berkeley and a now-shuttered building that formerly housed Hayward City Hall, which is slowly being torn up by fault movement. A USGS scenario for a 7.0 earthquake on the Hayward fault envisions it rupturing for 52 miles from San Pablo Bay to Fremont. It would cause one side of the fault to move four feet from the other. Many buildings, including apartments, still sit directly on top of the fault line, and were built before a state law passed in 1972 prohibiting new construction or substantial renovation on top of earthquake faults. On its website, the USGS calls the Hayward fault the region’s “tectonic time bomb,” which could “cause hundreds of deaths, leave thousands homeless and devastate the region’s economy.” In 2016, David Schwartz, a USGS geologist, said in an interview that above the Hayward fault are “2 million people who directly live on top of it. It sits geographically in the center of the Bay Area. There’s a tremendous amount of infrastructure built up on it — water systems, gas, electrical, BART crosses it — so a large event on that fault is like hitting the bull’s eye on a target.”

Trump officials advised Israel to expand Jewish prayer at Western Wall, prevent it at Temple Mount

By Ron Kampeas January 5, 2018 2:56pm

WASHINGTON (JTA) — The annual State Department report on religious freedoms emphasizes Trump administration efforts to maintain the status quo on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount and encourage religious pluralism in Israel. In the report released Thursday, the Israel section reflects the importance that the Trump administration attached to tamping down tensions that exploded in July after terrorists killed two Israeli policemen on the Temple Mount and Israel installed new security measures there. It also casts the U.S. ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, whose nomination came under criticism from Jewish groups because of his previous lacerating attacks on liberal Jews, as a champion of pluralism. The report makes specific reference to attempts by non-Orthodox Jews to conduct prayer services at the Western Wall, which abuts the Temple Mount. “The U.S. Ambassador and embassy officers spoke with government officials and Knesset leaders about the importance of maintaining the status quo at the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif and not escalating tensions through provocative actions or statements,” it said. “In meetings with government officials, embassy officers stressed the importance of religious pluralism and respect for non-Orthodox streams of Judaism.” The section on the Temple Mount, a site holy to Muslims and Jews, is unusually lengthy and documents in detail what appear to be official Israeli actions challenging the status quo. The “status quo” refers to agreements whereby the Waqf, the Muslim religious authority that answers to Jordan and the Palestinian Authority, holds religious authority on the Temple Mount itself. For decades the Waqf has banned Jewish worship on the plateau — in agreement with successive Israeli governments — while allowing Jewish visitors. “Despite the Israeli government’s policy prohibiting non-Muslim worship at the site, some Jewish groups escorted by Israeli police at the Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount performed religious acts such as prayers and prostration,” the report said. The declarations of U.S. sensitivity to Muslim claims to Jerusalem’s holiest site come just weeks after President Donald Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, precipitating a crisis in U.S.-Palestinian relations. “Incidents of attempted Jewish prayer at the Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount increased from previous years, according to local NGOs, media, and Jewish Temple Mount movement groups, and occurred on a near-weekly basis,” it said. “During Jewish holidays, such as Passover, Tisha B’Av, and Sukkot, tens of Jewish Temple Mount activists engaged in prayer on the site. In most cases, Israeli police acted to prevent them from praying and removed them, but in other cases, some of which were documented on social media in photos and videos, the police appeared not to notice the acts of prayer.” Also addressed at length is Israel’s treatment of religious minorities, including detailed passages on non-Orthodox prayer at the Western Wall. “The Israeli government did not implement a cabinet agreement reached in January to establish a Reform, Conservative, and mixed gender prayer platform along a separate portion of the Western Wall,” the report said. “Reform, Conservative, and women’s Jewish groups including some Orthodox Jewish women’s groups lobbied for the proposal, whereas ultra-Orthodox Jewish religious leaders and political figures continued to oppose the plan.Friedman’s efforts to promote interfaith understanding get multiple mentions. “Embassy-hosted events, including an interfaith Ramadan iftar and an interfaith Thanksgiving dinner, promoted the reduction of tensions between religious communities and an increase in interreligious communication and partnership within society by bringing together representatives of many faith communities to advance shared goals and exchange knowledge and experience,” the report said. It refers to the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem as “occupied.” Friedman was reported in recent weeks to have urged the State Department to drop the nomenclature, although the State Department has described the reports as erroneous. The report also suggests that Israeli claims on Jerusalem do not necessarily extend to largely Arab eastern Jerusalem. “The Israeli government formally annexed East Jerusalem in 1980, although no other government, including the United States, has recognized this annexation,” it says in a parenthetical aside in its Occupied Territories section. Trump had said that in recognizing the city as Israel’s capital, he was not determining a final status outcome for the city. One feature of the report was to include Palestinian terrorist attacks as possible violations of religious freedoms. “Because religion and ethnicity were often closely linked, it was difficult to categorize much of this violence as being solely based on religious identity,” the report said by way of explanation. In releasing the overall report, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and his department emphasized countries that have “systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of religious freedom.” These included Pakistan, Burma, China, Eritrea, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Saudi Arabia was a notable entry: One of the Trump administration’s success stories has been the vast improvement of U.S.-Saudi relations, as opposed to tensions between the Saudis and the Obama administration.

US Places Pakistan on ‘Special Watch List’ for Severe Violations of Religious Freedom

STATE DEPARTMENT — The U.S. State Department has placed Pakistan on a “Special Watch List” for “severe violations of religious freedom,” at the same time it announced cuts to security assistance to that country. “The protection of religious freedom is vital to peace, stability, and prosperity. These designations are aimed at improving the respect for religious freedom in these countries,” a State Department statement said Thursday, as the United States redesignated 10 other nations as “countries of particular concern” under the International Religious Freedom Act. State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert confirmed Thursday that Washington is suspending security assistance to Pakistan until Islamabad takes action against terrorist organizations, including the Haqqani Network. Earlier this week, the White House said Islamabad would have to do more to combat terrorism to receive U.S. aid. The Pakistani ambassador to Washington, Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry, while speaking to VOA, called for the two countries to remain engaged with each other and avoid steps that could create tensions and destabilize the region. The Pakistani ambassador to Washington, Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry, while speaking to VOA, called for the two countries to remain engaged with each other and avoid steps that could create tensions and destabilize the region. While putting Pakistan on the international religious freedom blacklist itself is a normal process, experts said the timing is "very ominous." While putting Pakistan on the international religious freedom blacklist itself is a normal process, experts said the timing is “very ominous.” “I think this is a reflection of the overall frustration of the United States with Pakistan,” the Atlantic Council’s South Asia Center director, Bharath Gopalaswamy, told VOA Thursday.“That said, Pakistan has not been a great place for other religious minorities and there has been consistent targeting of minorities,” Gopalaswamy said. “Various religious sects have been victims of violence.” Moeed Yusuf, associate vice president of the United States Institute of Peace, said there is a consensus within the Trump administration that it would increase pressure on Pakistan. Yusuf added the U.S. plan to cut security assistance to Pakistan is “a done deal,” but it will not change Pakistan’s approach on counterterrorism and what Washington is seeking from Islamabad. “There is no champion of the U.S.-Pakistan relationship to speak of now in this administration,” he said. Separately, the U.S. State Department redesignated 10 countries, including Myanmar, China, Iran and North Korea, as “countries of particular concern” for having engaged in or tolerated violations of religious freedom. Eritrea, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan also were on the list, the State Department said. “We recognize that several designated countries are working to improve their respect for religious freedom; we welcome these initiatives and look forward to continued dialogue,” said Nauert, the State Department spokesperson. The chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, Ed Royce, (R-CA) said the redesignation of Myanmar as a country of particular concern is particularly appropriate, given its military’s ethnic cleansing of Rohingya Muslims. Royce, did, however, say he wanted Vietnam to be on the list. “However, I am troubled that Vietnam was again not designated this year. The Vietnamese people continue to have their religious freedom and other human rights violated. The U.S. should never shrink from calling out countries for such abuses,” added Royce. The chairman of Pakistan's Senate Committee on Defense Production reacted to the U.S. move by saying, "Religious freedom ...is embedded in our constitution." Senator Abdul Qayyum went on to tell VOA's Urdu Service the U.S. is taking the action to meet its own goals. "If these sanctions have been put in place because of religious reasons, then why wasn't it done four months ago, two years ago, 10 years ago," he said. A member of Pakistan's Christian community, Joseph Robinson, said Pakistan's government provides religious freedom for its citizens. "...There are Christians, Hindus, they can independently pray, can speak their mind," he said. Scholar, Dr. Obaid Ullah noted he was able to attend Christmas church services in Pakistan with his family. "If we were scared we wouldn't be able to do that," he said, adding, ..."if we are being stopped from something, we are not given our rights ...we will come on the streets ...we would protest.

The Islamic State branch in the Sinai Peninsula on Wednesday called on its supporters to attack Hamas in a gruesome execution video as long-simmering tensions between the rival Islamic terror groups erupted into the open. The 22-minute long video culminated with the execution of one of its members, shot in the back of the head for allegedly smuggling weapons to Hamas. “[Hamas] uses its smuggled weapons to empower that which was not revealed by God. It also fights supporters of the Islamic State in Gaza and the Sinai and prevents the migration of these supporters from Gaza to the Sinai,” said a speaker in the video, who is referred to as Abu Kazem al-Maqdisi, an                     Islamic State preacher in the Sinai, originally from Gaza. Maqdisi calls on viewers to attack the security headquarters and courthouses of Hamas in Gaza, as these are “the pillars of tyranny.” At the end of the video, the narrator declares that a man, named as Musa Abu Zamat, who was once among the ranks of Islamic State, was sentenced to death for “smuggling weapons to the apostates of the Izz a-Din al-Qassam Brigades,” referring to Hamas’s military wing. The accused is then shot in the back of the head. The shooter was identified in news reports as Muhammad al-Dajani, a former member of Hamas’s military branch in Gaza. Dajani’s family released a statement to the press decrying his actions in the video. Hamas, a terror group sworn to Israel’s destruction, has run Gaza for a decade but have been regularly criticized by more radical jihadist groups in the Strip. Hamas has arrested dozens of Salafi militants, which continues to a be a source of tension between the two sides. The Palestinian terror group that rules Gaza has long been accused by the government in neighboring Egypt of aiding the Islamic State’s insurgency in Egypt’s restive North Sinai region. In recent months, Hamas has beefed up security along Gaza’s southern border with Egypt seeking to assure Cairo that it is fighting IS sympathizers. The Hamas crackdown on the Egyptian militants was a key part of restoring ties between Hamas and Cairo, which has since played a key role in Palestinian reconciliation agreements. Hundreds of Egyptian soldiers, police officers and civilians have been killed in fighting the bitter Islamic insurgency in the Sinai. But recently they have also turned their attention to Hamas. In August, a member of the Islamic State group carried out the first suicide bombing against Hamas forces in Gaza, killing a border guard. In the 22-minute long video, Islamic State also blamed Hamas for failing to prevent US President Donald Trump’s decision in December to declare Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. The video began with a clip of that announcement from the White House. Islamic State also slammed Hamas for failing to fight Jews for the right reasons. The video showed clips of Hamas leaders saying the terror group only fights Jews for occupying Palestinian land, and that the group has no quarrel with the Jewish religion. The narrator in the video criticized Hamas for not fighting Jews for their “false creed.” Islamic State, in the video, also criticized Hamas for accepting democratic values by participating in elections with rival Palestinian factions and for being agents of Iran. Hamas has said Iran is currently its biggest military supporter. On Thursday, Hamas spokesperson Salah Bardawil dismissed the Islamic State video as a “Zionist production.” The video is “a Zionist production in which Arab tools participate to distort the resistance…This is what the Zionist intelligence agency and its lackeys have been striving for,” he wrote in a statement on Twitter. Bardawil argued Hamas’s conflict with Salafis is not ideological, but rather an issue of security.

North Korea May Sell Nuclear Weapons To Terrorists [REPORT]

December 28, 2017 3:30 pm by IsabellaBeham

For the past few months, government officials, journalists, and military strategists have been trying to analyze the threat that Kim Jong-un and North Korea’s nuclear weapons play to the world. Now a new threat has been presented to the media: the possibility that North Korea is selling nuclear weapons to terrorists. Retired Army General Jack Keane, a Vietnam veteran who later served in Bosnia, Kosovo, Haiti, and Somalia, has publically voiced concerns about Pyongyang’s nuclear program. Now serving as a national security advisor for Fox News, the four-star general alerted the network to the potential new threat. Ret. Gen. Keane said about the notoriously unstable dictator Kim Jong-un: “Listen, if he acquires these miniaturised nuclear weapons he’s going to sell them, would he sell them to a terrorist who gave him lot of money? Of course he would. So this proliferation is going to go on and his cousin, his kissing cousin is Iran, so it’s not just about their missiles pointed at the United States.” The highly decorated general was not shy to praise the Trump administration, insisting that North Korea is a serious military threat that should not be ignored. “This is a clear-eyed and reality-looking President Trump administration, they see the world as it truly is and you can see that in their national security strategy that they unfolded about a week or so ago,” he said. “They see this North Korea threat as being totally unacceptable.” The Trump administration prominently features widely admired military figures like Secretary of Defense James Mattis, White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, and previously, Retired Army Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, who served as national security advisor. Sanctions or war? Ret. Gen. Keane ensured Fox News that military options are on the table along with sanctions, saying: “These military options are back on the table, the economic effort led by the diplomatic effort is clearly the United States’ main effort. And we’re doing everything we possibly can with China and the other allies to get these guys to shut down.” The latest UN sanctions against Pyongyang were passed just last week. They cut exports of refined oil products, like gasoline, to North Korea by 89%. The resolution also requires the nation-states party to the agreement to prevent oil smuggling to North Korea. Despite China’s agreement to earlier sanctions this fall and the additional sanctions imposed last week, Chinese tankards have already been caught by U.S. satellites 30 times in the past three months transferring oil to North Korean ships. Sanctions declared in September prohibit ship-to-ship transfers with North Korean vessels in an effort to prevent smuggling. For the North Korean people, the sanctions have hardly been a success, as they have caused economic damage to the already-depressed country. After the sanctions imposed in the fall, many fishermen lost their jobs, causing even more food insecurity and hunger in the starving communist nation. On the other hand, reports surfaced last week that the Trump administration was contemplating an attack on North Korea, either to destroy nuclear launch sites or weapons stockpiles. Other reports and images led experts to speculate that the U.S. may be training for a boots-on-the-ground operation to capture North Korea’s nuclear weapons. Reports from defectors seem to confirm what international experts and NGOs have long suspected, which is that Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons program is draining the nation of resources. Between the cost of the program, the imposed sanctions, and the cost of maintaining its 1 million-strong army, North Korea has been forced to further cut the rations which 70% of North Korean citizens rely on for sustenance. Selling nuclear weapons to terrorist organizations would provide much-needed funds, which could, in turn, further bolster Pyongyang’s nuclear program. Why it’s a threat The balance of nuclear weapons among states is meant to ensure peace and prevent an all-out nuclear war, in keeping with the theory of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD), which posits that the use of nuclear arms by two or more states would ensure the destruction of both parties. If North Korea is putting nuclear weapons in the hands of terrorists, it will greatly destabilize the global nuclear arena. Ret. Gen. Keane did not specify which terrorists he was referring to, but nuclear-armed Islamic militants present a unique threat as opposed to secular nations. Unlike some other religions, Islam does not teach immediate entry into Paradise after death. Rather, Muslims believe that individuals, whether “good” or “bad,” must wait until Judgement Day at the end of times, to ascend into heaven or descend into hell. However, Islam also teaches that martyrs are able to circumvent this delay and gain immediate entry into Paradise. Radical, fundamentalist terrorists often use this argument as justification for causing mass casualties, even to fellow Muslims. In comparison, the Soviet Union, technically an atheist state, did not present the same complications as far as religious philosophy and dogma. Although people were certainly willing to die for their communist ideals and Mother Russia, the state could hardly teach literal rebirth and redemption in the afterlife. A more dangerous place North Korea’s rapidly growing nuclear weapons program has been unsettling for the entire world. November saw Pyongyang’s most successful missile launch to date, with the regime claiming it now has the capability to reach the entire continental United States with missiles. North Korea’s nuclear armament has led many to worry about the onset of World War III, while others have voiced concerns that China is utilizing its communist ally to instigate a proxy war with the United States. China’s violation of the UN sanctions against North Korea has only stoked these fears. An unstable dictator sitting atop a stockpile of nuclear weapons is already a great threat to the international community, but the risk of nuclear proliferation via North Korea adds even more instability. There’s no telling which groups the regime would be willing to sell its weapons to. Presumably, the list would include any group willing to pay up. Ret. Gen. Keane highlighted this point, reminding viewers that there is more to consider than the immediate nuclear threat North Korea plays to the U.S. The U.S. must also consider Pyongyang’s role in potentially destabilizing the international community. “It’s not just about their missiles pointed at the United States,” he said. “It’s that the world becomes a much more dangerous place.”

Russia gained a 'treasure trove' of intelligence on the US's best fighter jets in Syria

Alex Lockie Jan. 5, 2018, 10:50 AM

A top US Air Force general says Russia is incorporating lessons from operating alongside US aircraft in Syria into its training. Russian jets and anti-air systems in Syria have been able to practice tracking US jets, including the F-22, possibly eroding its stealth advantage. But the US has been watching Russia too, and the US's competitors still have a long way to go before negating its air supremacy. In the fight against the terrorist group ISIS in Iraq and Syria, US and US-led-coalition jets have flown thousands of sorties and dropped tons of munitions — but in doing so, they've tipped their hand to Russian fighter jets that have eagerly stalked them. "The skies over Iraq and specifically Syria have really just been a treasure trove for them to see how we operate," Lt. Gen. VeraLinn "Dash" Jamieson said at an Air Force Association briefing hosted by the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies on Thursday. "Our adversaries are watching us — they're learning from us," said Jamieson, adding that Russia's air force cycled most forces through Syria to give them real-world combat experience. During the air campaign in Syria, Russia got a look at the tactics, behaviors, radar, and thermal signatures of the US's top air-dominance fighter, the F-22. Russia is figuring the US out and gloating over it A fully loaded Russian Su-35 fighter jet. TASS In the skies over Syria, Russia's top fighter jets came face to face with the F-22 and appeared to show it little reverence. Russia's air force has gloated over its dominance in such encounters, though that should be taken with a grain of salt. "We always found ourselves 'on their tails,' as the pilots say, which means victory in a dogfight," said Maksim Makolin of Russian Aerospace Forces, according to state media. Though Russia often exaggerates or fabricates stories of its air force's prowess, there's reason to believe Russia gained valuable information that could help it in a fight with US jets. "Russia can learn more than just observing US/coalition tactics, techniques, and procedures," Justin Bronk, an expert on aerial combat at the Royal United Services Institute, told Business Insider. "They can also 'paint' Western fighters and other air assets with ground-based and aerial fire control and search radars." The F-22 relies on stealth for its major advantage against Russian jets, which perform similarly, if not better, in traditional confrontations like dogfights. If Russia gained experience tracking the F-22 with infrared-search-and-track radars, as Bronk suggested it might have, it would be "very useful stuff." Russia's operating close to the US most likely allowed it to tune its air- and land-based sensors to detect all varieties of US and coalition aircraft operating over Syria. Russia in Syria has been a double-edged sword F/A-18 Hornets fly over the aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74). US Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Apprentice Ignacio D. Perez/Released As a result, the advantages afforded to planes like the F-22 that utilize stealth — and all US fighter jets that use classified tactics in combat scenarios — may have been eroded. "Russia has gained invaluable insights and information with operating in a contested airspace alongside of us in Syria, and they're incorporating lessons learned of actually doing a first 'away' fight," Jamieson said. But as Bronk points out, the observation was most likely mutual — and most likely cut both ways. "Whilst Russia is certainly making every use that it can of the opportunity to learn about Western air operations and capabilities in the shared skies over Syria, that process goes both ways since whatever Russian military aircraft do is done within airspace heavily surveilled by Western assets," Bronk said. Still, as adversaries catch up, the future of US air supremacy becomes less clear. "The United States Air Force can and will maintain air supremacy today," Lt. Gen. Chris Nowland said at the briefing. "The question is the future."

Massive 'Red Flag' Alert! Globalists Move To Permanently Silence Independent News And Slay Their Latest Victim - Remember What Hillary Clinton Adviser Said Before Election: 'Websites Such As Breitbart And Infowars Have No Right To Exist'

January 3, 2018 By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

For 9 years, the independent website Red Flag News had been aggregating and publishing the kinds of stories that 'the gatekeepers' never wanted Americans to learn about but as we learn in the final post upon their website as seen in the screenshot above, Red Flag News is no longer, the latest victory for the globalists in their move towards global tyranny. As their notice tells us, despite having over 10 million readers who visited their app and website, building a community of trust and loyalty with their readers, that was not enough to sustain the onslaught of suppression by google and facebook following the 2016 election, which by all accounts, the independent media helped President Trump win. As Susan Duclos reported on ANP back on December 23rd, the war upon independent media has reached a fever pitch in America and Red Flag News going out of business is a perfect example of what happens when a battle in that war is lost on the road to global tyranny. We've lost another truth-teller. Why does it feel like a death in the family? From Red Flag News. After 9 years of being a pioneer and leader in alternative news aggregation, RedFlagNews.com will be closing its doors on December 31, 2017. With more than 10M readers who visit both our app and website, we have built a community of trust and loyalty in online news media; something rare to find in 2018; nevertheless, it was clearly not enough to sustain the onslaught of suppression by Google and Facebook after the 2016 election. To our amazing community, thank you for your generous support and daily visits over the years. It was a good run with you by our side. In addition to our 2018 app that you can download here, thousands have asked us where we will be getting our daily fix. As you continue your journey of seeking both balance and truth in your news diet, we strongly recommend the following two independent and trusted news aggregation websites. In the end, independent thinking is a battle that we cannot afford to lose. While websites such as snopes and the southern poverty law center can use their connections to corrupt globalists such as Hillary Clinton and the 'deep state' to raise millions of dollars online in days in an attempt to silence the truth for the those same globalists, websites such as Red Flag News are pushed out of business, forever silencing their online voice, to the delight of the globalists upon whom independent news websites such as Red Flag regularly speak out against. And with at least 81 journalists around the world 'permanently silenced' as Mac Slavo reports in this new story over at SHTFPlan, while the 'Clinton body count' keeps going up here in America, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to suggest that the globalists will do everything in their power to shut down independent, alternative thought, especially seeing how speech is being criminalized in parts of Europe while California prepares to imprison a man for an anti-Muslim facebook post. We'll also remind you here that prior to the election, Hillary Clinton's deputy communications director Christina Reynolds claimed that websites such as Breitbart.com "had no right to exist". Vowing to destroy websites such as Breitbart, just imagine what might have happened to independent news outlets such as the Drudge Report, Infowars or ANP had Hillary been elected! Another perfect example of the left attempting to shut up anybody who speaks out against it are the tactics used by 'antifa'. Allegedly 'anti-fascists', why do they act just like fascists, attempting to stifle the words of anybody whose words they disagree with? We'd offer them and globalists such as Christina Reynolds and Hillary Clinton some advice: “While I may not agree with what you say, I will defend to the death your right to say it.” If the so-called antifascists, the MSM, the state of California and Europe would start embracing that long-stated quote, and begin protecting the rights of the people to speak freely, then we might be able to call them anti-fascists but instead, they've given us proof of what they are, they are the totalitarians, and they want to all just to shut up...and as one wise ANP reader recently mentioned to us in an email, it sure seems like they want us all dead. Why? According to this new story over at the Daily Mail that the Drudge Report linked to on Tuesday morning, the social media giants such as facebook, google and twitter are 'giant wild beasts that are devouring freedom' with even the world's biggest youtube stars now seeing a massive slowdown in subscribers and video views on their channels. With the nation of Germany launching a Nazi-style purge against websites such as Infowars, ANP and others who report upon the European migrant crisis and the very real dangers of totalitarian Islam, is America only one presidential election away from joining California and Europe in cracking down against those who speak out against Sharia law, who speak out against the evil of Islam, a terrorist-supporting totalitarian political system, masquerading as a religion? While ANP promised ourselves when we launched that we'd never ask for reader donations, as we see from websites such as the Daily Caller, the Daily Signal, Govt Slaves and the Guardian now doing so, such donations may be the only way to keep such websites online in the future with a full-scale war against independent thought and opinions and crackdowns happening now against those same qualities across the planet. With even President Trump adviser and friend Sheriff David Clarke recently having his twitter account shut down for violating their terms of service for allegedly advocating violence against CNN by tweeting a meme of he and President Trump taking down CNN in the wrestling ring, it's easy to see where this is headed. In closing, we thank all of you who have donated to ANP. You are a huge part of the reason why ANP is still online and not joining 'Red Flag News' on the sideline, just the latest globalist kill and another trophy on Hillary's wall. May God Bless You All. While this final video below is from 2015, we've decided to run it again just to remind everybody where we were not too long ago and where the globalists would be happy to see us now, with websites such as the Drudge Report, Infowars, Breitbart and ANP permanently silenced for standing up to globalist tyranny. "Those who don't learn from the past are destined to repeat it".

Six Insane California Laws That Go Into Effect Monday

December 31, 2017 By Stephen Frank 21 Comments

Today is not a good day for freedom in California. Numerous laws are effective today, taking away rights, causing higher cost of living and further make it difficult to be protected from criminals—both Native born and those here illegally from other countries. Worse, even if you know about an illegal alien—if you are a landlord, you are not allowed to obey Federal law. Seriously, think anyone will be prosecuted for obeying the law? “The entire state will now ignore U.S. immigration law: Because it’s worked so well in San Francisco, California Democrats decided that the entire state should ignore federal immigration law. SB 54 forbids law enforcement officials from asking someone’s immigration or holding them for Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agents — unless they’ve been convicted of a crime. AB 291 prohibits landlords (you know, like, private citizens who own private property) from reporting renters who are in the US illegally. The DMV is raising vehicle registration fees: This is a minor blip in California’s war on cars, but it’s a frustrating one, because, really, this is the only thing that could make the DMV experience even worse. SB 1 increases vehicle registration fees between $25 and $175, depending on the vehicle’s value.” I bet there is no way that you can go through today without breaking some California law—knowingly or unknowingly. But, if you want to break the law it is easy—report an illegal alien to ICE—how about the two criminals Brown gave a pardon to, trying to keep them in this country? Six Insane California Laws That Go Into Effect Monday By Jared Sichel, Daily Wire, 12/29/17

For most Americans, the first moments of the new year are ones of celebration and excitement. In California, it’s also a time to take stock of which new laws from the Democrat-controlled Legislature will make our lives just a little (or a lot) more frustrating. Here are six: The entire state will now ignore U.S. immigration law: Because it’s worked so well in San Francisco, California Democrats decided that the entire state should ignore federal immigration law. SB 54 forbids law enforcement officials from asking someone’s immigration or holding them for Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agents — unless they’ve been convicted of a crime. AB 291 prohibits landlords (you know, like, private citizens who own private property) from reporting renters who are in the US illegally. The DMV is raising vehicle registration fees: This is a minor blip in California’s war on cars, but it’s a frustrating one, because, really, this is the only thing that could make the DMV experience even worse. SB 1 increases vehicle registration fees between $25 and $175, depending on the vehicle’s value. Employers can’t ask applicants about their salary history: Private employers — yes, private employers — can’t ask people who want money from them silly questions like how much money they’ve made in the past or are making at their current job. It will be interesting to see the inevitable unintended consequences of AB 168. It will be at least a little more difficult for a company to gauge what a reasonable offer looks like without knowing what an applicant is currently making or recently made. Sure, employers will ask questions like, “What would you like to make?” and smart applicants will clarify their expectations at some point in the interview process. But, really, it’s not the government’s business how an employer and an applicant work out any mutually beneficial agreement. Low-skilled workers will have a harder time finding work: That’s just a fancy way of saying, “The minimum wage will increase from $10.50 an hour to $11 an hour.” Under SB 3, the minimum wage will increase each year until it hits $15 an hour in 2022. For people who already have jobs, this is no big deal. For people making below the minimum wage who keep their jobs and get a pay increase, it’s great. But for low-skilled workers who need a job, this is bad news. A company is not going to pay a 20-year-old $11 an hour if he’s only bringing $9 an hour worth of value to the company. It will either make do without that position, automate, or move to a state whose legislature has some grasp of basic economics. But, really, as with #3 above, it’s not the government’s business how an employer and employee work out a mutually beneficial wage. If an applicant wants to make $9 an hour, and an employer wants to pay $9 an hour, how is it not a bad thing for the government to say that’s illegal? You can make up your gender on official state IDs: California will abolish its requirement that a person must go “clinically appropriate treatment for the purpose of gender transition” if they want to change the sex on their birth certificate, which means that men can say they’re women, and vice-versa, on state IDs like driver’s licenses. Beginning in 2019, driver’s licenses will have three options for sex: male, female, and nonbinary. Schools will no longer be allowed to decide whether or not they’re “gun-free zones”: Because the legislature has decided for them. AB 424 says school administrators can no longer permit employees with concealed carry permits to conceal and carry firearms on campus. Which means the only people with guns on campus will be criminals and campus police, who more often than not can only respond to shootings, not prevent them. Has reading this list spiked your heart rate? Then you’ll be calmed by AB 64, which legalizes the sale and cultivation of recreational-use marijuana.

Retail Apocalypse: 12,000 Store Closings Expected In 2018, Following 9,000 In 2017

Written By: Nicholas Eckhart January 2, 2018

Disruption is the most prominent meme in 2018, as evidenced by retail carnage at all levels. Should the Internet also suffer disruption in the future, the retail infrastructure will be found to be missing. In the meantime, jobs will be shed in record numbers. ⁃ TN Editor

Retailers are bracing for a fresh wave of store closings in 2018 that is expected to eclipse the rash of closings that rocked the industry last year. “Landlords are panicking,” said Larry Perkins, the CEO and founder of the advisory firm SierraConstellation Partners. “The last year was pretty apocalyptic from a retail standpoint, and the macro issues haven’t changed. There will continue to be a high degree of bankruptcies and store closures.” 2017 was a record year for both store closings and retail bankruptcies. Dozens of retailers including Macy’s, Sears, and J.C. Penney shuttered an estimated 9,000 stores — far exceeding recessionary levels — and 50 chains filed for bankruptcy. But there’s still a glut of retail space in the US, and the fallout is far from over. The number of store closings in the US is expected to jump at least 33% to more than 12,000 in 2018, and another 25 major retailers could file for bankruptcy, according to estimates by the commercial real estate firm Cushman & Wakefield. Nearly two dozen major chains including Walgreens, Gap, and Gymboree have already announced plans to close more than 3,600 stores this year. Many more announcements on closures and bankruptcies are expected in the coming months. The start of the year is a popular time to announce store closings and bankruptcies because retailers are typically flush with cash after the busy holiday season — and closing stores and filing for bankruptcy are costly. Among the companies most likely to file for bankruptcy within the next year are Sears, Bon-Ton Stores, Bebe Stores, Destination Maternity Corp., and Stein Mart, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. Mass store closings will force shopping malls out of business When combined with last year’s record-high store closings, an even higher rate of closings in 2018 would push hundreds of low-performing shopping malls to the brink of death.

AfD politician 'censored' under new German hate speech law for anti-Muslim tweet

Beatrix von Storch, a leading figure in the Alternative for Germany party, is one of the first hit by new hate speech laws on social media. Critics say the legislation opens the way for censorship by internet companies. A top lawmaker from the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party was blocked from Twitter and Facebook on Monday after slamming the Cologne police for sending a New Year's tweet in Arabic. The incident caused the AfD to lash out further and criticize censorship as a controversial new German social media law known as NetzDG went into effect January 1 in a bid to clamp down on online hate speech.

Cologne was the scene two years ago of mass sexual assaults on New Year's Eve in which most of the suspects were described as young men of North African and Arab origin. "What the hell is happening in this country? Why is an official police site tweeting in Arabic? Do you think it is to appease the barbaric, gang-raping hordes of Muslim men?" wrote Beatrix von Storch, the deputy leader of the AfD's parliamentary group. The tweet was later deleted after Twitter froze von Storch's account and informed her she had violated hate speech rules. Her account was shut down for 12 hours. The Cologne police said on Monday that they had filed a criminal complaint against von Storch for hate speech.

She also announced that her Facebook account had been "censored" due to a hate speech complaint. "Facebook has also censored me. That is the end of the constitutional state," she wrote, showing the message she received from the social media giant. Due to the Cologne police criminal complaint, she wrote that state prosecutors would have to investigate lifting her parliamentary immunity, then indict her and go through a court process to finally convict her. "My knees are shaking," she wrote of such an unlikely scenario. "But Facebook has already issued a judgment." New year, controversial new law The AfD has branded NetzDG as a "censorship law." But they are not alone in criticizing a law that requires companies like Facebook, Twitter, and Google to remove content that advocates violence or slander or face fines of up to 50 million euros ($53 million). Internet activists and journalist organizations have also raised objections, not least because the government has deliberately left the task of deleting content or blocking users to the internet platforms themselves, rather than having courts make decisions.

AfD parliamentary group leader Alice Weidel wrote on Facebook and Twitter defending her party colleague and lamenting what she called the "censorship law," while sharing the text of von Storch's deleted tweet and repeating her complaints, while referring to "migrant mobs" instead of Muslim men specifically. Cologne police later said on Tuesday that they had received criminal complaints against Weidel. DW recommends Germany implements new internet hate speech crackdown A new German law named NetzDG that will force social media sites to delete offensive content has come into effect with the New Year. There are plenty of critics on both the far-right and among internet activists. (01.01.2018)

Russia’s Military in 2017: Qualitative Leap in High-Precision Strike Capability

A broad overview of Russia’s military capability in 2017 shows that the country’s reorganized and rearmed military is radically different from what it once was. The lessons have been learnt to make it much more efficient than the force that defended South Ossetia and Russian peacekeepers from Georgia’s attack in 2008. The armed forces are going through the period of transformation with sophisticated cutting-edge high-precision weapons given high priority. Addressing the Defense Ministry Board, Russian President Vladimir Putin said the new 2018-2027 State Armament Program puts special emphasis on equipping forces with high-precision air, land and sea weapons. 2017 was the year when the Russian military used sea-launched Kalibr, air-based Kh-101 and Iskander surface-to-surface missiles in Syria. The December 2017 board meeting was the first time the use of Iskander in Syria was admitted publicly. In 2017, the system entered service with the 152nd Guards Brigade stationed in the Kaliningrad region as a response to NATO beefing up forces near Russia’s border. Is Syria, Iskander was used to knock out high priority targets. Sufficient accuracy, range and reliability allow it to function as an alternative to air forces operating under the conditions enemy’s active countermeasures, including fighters and air defenses. The Iskander-M has a range of 500 km and achieves a circular error probable (CEP) of 5–7 meters. The ballistic missile travels at hypersonic speed of 2100–2600 m/s (Mach 6–7) at a height of 50 km and can be re-targeted during flight in case of engaging mobile targets. It needs only about 10 minutes to take position and fire. The system’s range is enough to cover almost the entire territory of Syria. It can fire cruise missiles to hit stationary targets and ballistic missiles to knock out enemy’s high value assets on a battlefield. Iskander can strike long before an aircraft, which has to take off, overcome the distance and take position to launch its weapons. In 2017, it was announced that the Iskanders will replace the aging Tochka-U ballistic missile systems by 2020 as part of an ongoing refurbishment and improvement scheme. Last year, Russian military started to form and train special operations units of spotters used to provide coordinates to guide the Iskander-launched missiles as they streak toward the target. In Syria, spotters operate in the enemy’s rear. The Kh-101 stealth air-to-surface missile launched by Tu-95MS and Tu-160 strategic bombers has become a battle-proven weapon in 2017 used to achieve an overwhelming level of “shock and awe” against the adversary in Syria. The experience shows it is very reliable. The range is 5,000 km. Video evidence provided by drones confirms the fact that all the targets were hit directly. The missile was tested in 2015 and 2016 to be used as part of operational plans in 2017. In 2017, Kh-101 missiles destroyed the enemy’s infrastructure in Deir-ez-Zor. In July, the missiles destroyed three large arms and ammunition depots, and a terrorist command center near the city of Uqayribat in the province of Hama. The strike was delivered from the range of about 1,000 kilometers. The Syrian experience is used to develop a new cruise air-to-surface missile. Russia’s Tactical Missiles Corporation is working on the “Article 715” or 9-А-2362. The missile is actually a smaller version of Kh-101 destined for the Tu-22М3 long-range bombers as well as the Su-34, Su-30, Su-35 and Su-57 tactical aircraft. Sea-based Kalibr missiles have been used since 2015. Its range exceeds 1,500km – less than the range of the Kh-101. The strong point - the missile can be installed on almost of types of ships. The Russian sailors call it “calibration” – the ability to be adapted to various types of surface ships and submersibles. In 2017, it was announced that the Kalibr missiles will be installed on the new Steregushchiy-class corvettes (project 20380). At present, the ships of this class are armed with Kh-35U anti-ship missiles. The “calibration” process includes Leader, the new ice breaker, which is destined to break through ice up to 4.5 metres thick, and keep the Northern Sea Route and Arctic coast open all year round. This is very unusual – something nobody else has done. Leader is not a warship but it will carry special containers with weapon systems, including anti-ship Kh-35 and Kalibr anti-ship missiles. As one can see, the Kalibr allows to have well-armed fleet at relatively small cost capable of striking surface and land targets from various platforms at thousands of miles away. 3M22 Zircon, a hypersonic cruise missile was going through testing in 2017, so it could enter in production this year as planned. It is capable of speeds of around Mach 5.0-Mach 6.0 (7,400 kilometer per hour (4,600 mile per hour). At a cruising altitude of 30,000 m its kinetic energy at impact is 50 times higher than existing air-ship and ship-to-ship missiles. The projectile can travel covering 155 miles in 2.5 minutes, which is faster than a sniper's bullet. The enemy will not have enough time to get scared, let alone react. The missile is expected to enter into production this year. 2017 will be remembered by the Russian military as the year of making great strides towards arming the military with high tech long-range precision guided conventional weapons. This is a qualitative leap to make the Russian military second to none.

Gun range owner who declared a ‘Muslim Free Zone’ will run for Arkansas governor

By Max Londberg jlondberg@kcstar.com January 02, 2018 10:11 AM UPDATED January 02, 2018 12:50 PM

A gun range owner who drew national attention for calling her establishment a “Muslim Free Zone” will run for Arkansas governor. Jan Morgan, owner of the Gun Cave Indoor Firing Range in Hot Springs, made the announcement in a video posted to YouTube on Dec. 30. In the Republican primary, she’ll challenge incumbent Asa Hutchinson, who was elected in 2014.

CAMPAIGN AD: Jan Morgan launches campaign for Arkansas governor Jan Morgan announces her official campaign for governor of Arkansas on New Year's Eve 2017. "A new year and the dawn of a new day for Arkansas." Jan Morgan for Governor Morgan declared her gun range was a “Muslim Free Zone” in 2014 on social media and her website, insisting it was for her safety. “I refuse to train the next islamic (sic) terrorist,” Morgan wrote on her site, adding that “countless others” contacted her to express support. But many religious and civil liberties advocates said Morgan was denying rights protected under the Civil Rights Act, according to the Guardian. The U.S. Department of Justice said officials were monitoring the range in 2015 for potential constitutional violations. “It’s unfortunately similar to what we’ve historically seen with public business accommodations in the South during the 1960s that literally advertised black people weren’t allowed,” Jenifer Wicks, litigation director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, told the Guardian. “She seems to have turned that on its face.” The Arkansas Times reported in early 2015 that a father-son duo who visited Morgan’s range were turned away by a woman who told them, “I would hope if you were Muslim you guys wouldn’t be cowards and would be up front about it.” The father and son weren’t Muslims but instead practiced Hinduism. The son, who asked not to be named when he spoke with the Times, said, “We’re brown — I don’t know if she assumed we were Muslim. ... It’s definitely crazy that there’s such intolerance.” A call to Morgan’s campaign phone number was not returned. Gun rights are Morgan’s signature issue, the Arkansas Times reported. She criticized Hutchinson for giving local prosecutors discretion in interpreting the state’s open-carry law. In a blog, Morgan wrote that the “Second Amendment is my line in the sand,” adding a Greek phrase, Molon Labe, meaning “come and take them.” Morgan calls herself “genetically conservative” and has said, “I ride my own Harley.” On Monday, Morgan announced she would hold a meet-and-greet event later this month at the Perry County Fairgrounds. “Are Muslims invited?” asked a commenter on Facebook. Morgan’s official page responded: “This is a public event not a private business that has to adhere to federal law. Therefore like any citizen are free (sic) to attend.” Max Londberg: 816-234-4378, @MaxLondberg

National Security Jeopardized By A Pervert’s Laptop

Hillary’s top aide, Huma Abedin, put the entire country at risk

Jon Bowne | Infowars.com - January 2, 2018

53-year-old Anthony Weiner, ex-husband of Huma Abedin, started his 21 to 27-month stint in a Federal Medical Prison outside of Boston back in November. As you may recall, this ex-congressman sent pornographic material to a 15-year-old high school student in North Carolina. Within the 2,800 emails Judicial Watch uncovered on his laptop are classified materials and Americans should be outraged. The entire narrative touted by the mainstream media that Hillary didn’t jeopardize national security has disintegrated.

President Trump Sends Message To 'Deep State' Justice Department - Heads Up Folks, 2018 Is Going To Be An Explosive Year

January 2, 2018 By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

Over the last year I have tracked President Trump's tweets and while opinions differ on President Trump's Twitter usage, what is undeniable is that he has often given his followers a heads up regarding information that the mainstream media would be forced to confirm later.... sometimes months later. One of the biggest examples of this came back in March 2017, when the President tweeted "Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my 'wires tapped' in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!" The media went nuts mocking him, claiming there was no proof, it never happened. Liberal leaning fact checkers declared his assertion "false," and former FBI director James Comey testified in front of the House intelligence committee, saying "I have no information that supports those tweets, and we have looked carefully inside the FBI." Months later, in September 2017, the media was finally forced to report the Obama administration had wiretapped President Trump’s campaign chairman Paul Manafort's communications, in 2014, and again in 2016, who often worked out of Trump Tower. Another prime example from March 2017, was president Trump's deliberate references to The Clintons and the Uranium One deal which allowed the sale of U.S. uranium to Russia, where he stated in a series of tweets "Why isn't the House Intelligence Committee looking into the Bill & Hillary deal that allowed big Uranium to go to Russia, Russian speech...." and "...money to Bill, the Hillary Russian "reset," praise of Russia by Hillary, or Podesta Russian Company. Trump Russia story is a hoax. #MAGA!" Jump forward to October 2017 where The Hill published a blockbuster report about the Uranium One deal, providing detailed information that was not only hidden from the general public, but to which the Obama administration prevented Congress from obtaining. Exposed in that report was how "Russian nuclear officials had routed millions of dollars to the U.S. designed to benefit former President Bill Clinton’s charitable foundation during the time Secretary of State Hillary Clinton served on a government body that provided a favorable decision to Moscow." Congressional committees started questioning intelligence officials, a gag order forced on an FBI informant by the Obama administration preventing him from testifying in front of Congress had been lifted, and now DOJ prosecutors have been tasked with reexamining the FBI evidence in regards to the Uranium One deal. While we could list a number of other examples, the point here is that President Trump has consistently given his supporters hints at what would be coming in between his trolling the media tweets which sends them off chasing their tails on other issues. PRESIDENT TRUMP GIVES HEADS UP FOR 2018 On January 2, 2017, the President sent a message to the "Deep State Justice Department," which also gives a heads up to those of us that have been observing his hints, for lack of a better word, to his supporters about what is coming. He stated "Crooked Hillary Clinton’s top aid, Huma Abedin, has been accused of disregarding basic security protocols. She put Classified Passwords into the hands of foreign agents. Remember sailors pictures on submarine? Jail! Deep State Justice Dept must finally act? Also on Comey & others. AbedinTrumpTweet2.jpg " His reference is to newly revealed information about Huma Abedin, former vice chair of Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign for President, who has spent most of her career working for Hillary Clinton, as traveling chief of staff and former assistant for Clinton, then as deputy chief of staff to Clinton, who was U.S. Secretary of State from 2009 to 2013. After a federal lawsuit was filed by Judicial Watch the State Department was forced to release about 2,800 documents obtained by the FBI, found on Abedin's husband's computer after he was caught sending sexually explicit images and messages to a minor. While five of the messages were deemed classified, another disturbing revelation was that Abedin "forwarded sensitive State Department emails, including passwords to government systems, to her personal Yahoo email account before every single Yahoo account was hacked," as reported by The Daily Caller. abedin-passwords.jpg Read the rest at the Daily Caller, headlined "Abedin Forwarded State Passwords To Yahoo Before It Was Hacked By Foreign Agents." The reference in the president's tweet to the sailors pictures on submarine stems from a former Navy sailor, Kristian Saucier, who was sentenced to year in prison for "unauthorized retention of national defense information," for taking pictures on his cell phone from inside a submarine he was working on. At the time people were already using the fact that Huma Abedin and Hillary Clinton were treated as if they were above the law when comparing the two cases. Via Fox News in January 2017: “When you look at how many years ago this occurred, coupled with his military service, and other individuals such as Hillary Clinton and [Clinton aide] Huma Abedin, who clearly mishandled classified information, it’s unfair,” said Greg Rinkey, one of the attorneys who represented Saucier. “It smacks of two types of justice systems in the United States.” Abedin was a Clinton adviser whose estranged husband and former congressman Anthony Weiner was found to have some of the former secretary of state’s emails on his computer when it was seized by federal investigators in connection to another case. Related from Politico: Sub sailor's photo case draws comparisons to Clinton emails The reference to Comey in the aforementioned tweet is clear, as the former FBI director changed his initial determination that Clinton was "grossly negligent" to using the term "extremely careless," because one allowed him to let Clinton go without charges while the other was statutory language that would have implicated Clinton in a federal crime. Comey was also responsible for not charging Abedin with any crime, despite the fact that classified information ended up on her husband's laptop. Since January the Office of Inspector General has been doing a detailed investigation into how the FBI and the DOJ conducted themselves in regards to the Hillary Clinton email/private server investigation, to which a number of bombshells from the OIG review have already rocked the FBI and the DOJ. Those revelation include the anti-Trump/Pro-Clinton text messages between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page talking about "paths" and an "insurance policy" in the event that Donald Trump won the presidential election. Strzok is also believed to be one of the people that changed the wording of Comey's original draft, changing "grossly negligent" to "extremely careless." Due to the OIG review, Strzok was reassigned from the special counsel investigation. Other information revealed by the OIG review included a number of other members of the special counsel team, FBI, and the DOJ. So far eight high ranking individuals from the FBI and DOJ have reportedly been removed, reassigned or are planning to resign their positions. All that before the OIG report has been released, although the Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz has promised Congress a preliminary report, along with over a million documents compiled during his year long investigation, around mid-January. The OIG does not prosecute, nor charge people with crimes, which brings us back to the president's tweet, which tells us that he fully expects the DOJ, even the "deep state" members that have not been weeded out yet, to act against the Clinton campaign (specifically Huma Abedin) and in regards to the improprieties conducted by James Comey in relation to how the investigation, and the outcome, was handled by the FBI while Comey was still director. This is a direct call by President Trump to take legal action against Huma Abedin and James Comey. ANOTHER THING TO KEEP YOUR EYE ON... Another little hint the president offered as to what is on the horizon is from a December 26 2017 message stating "WOW, @foxandfrlends “Dossier is bogus. Clinton Campaign, DNC funded Dossier. FBI CANNOT (after all of this time) VERIFY CLAIMS IN DOSSIER OF RUSSIA/TRUMP COLLUSION. FBI TAINTED.” And they used this Crooked Hillary pile of garbage as the basis for going after the Trump Campaign!" Understanding that the reference to the "crooked Hillary pile of garbage" being used as the basis, meaning used to obtain the FISA warrants to spy on members of the Trump campaign, would completely taint the majority if not all of Robert Mueller's investigation, as "fruit of the poisonous tree," deep state members still within the U.S. intelligence agencies made a beeline to one of their propaganda outlets, the NYT, to spin a tale of a drunk conversation having kicked off the whole Russia investigation, rather than the dossier. That started unraveling quickly, with other writers highlighting how this new attempt to spin the dossier as irrelevant, contradicts older NYT reporting on the topic. Rep. Ron DeSantis hits the nail right on the head: "I'm not sure the Papadopoulos explanation is really any better. In fact, it's probably thinner than even the dossier. Just some guy at a bar drinking?" the Florida Republican said on "America's Newsroom." DeSantis said he asked Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein under oath about what triggered the investigation and recalled that Rosenstein "hemmed and hawed" but did not give a direct answer. "Yet there are some people either at the FBI or DOJ who have no problem leaking that to the New York Times. That strikes me as an attempt by some people in the agency to deflect from the dossier," he argued. He said many "simple" questions from House committees remain unanswered by the Justice Department, including when the government obtained the dossier, whether it was paid for and how they used it. "I think if the answers were innocuous, we would have gotten them a long time ago," he said. BOTTOM LINE While President Trump's Twitter habits makes the media crazy (Bonus!), I have observed over the past year a number of instances where he has offered his supporters a major heads up over what is coming, what he is working towards, always mocked and called "false" by the liberal MSM, until months later when they are forced to eat a little crow by reporting on issues Trump highlighted months before. We expect the dossier and the part it played in almost everything we see playing out in regards to Mueller investigation, to be a huge explosive story in 2018, as well as the DOJ taking another long, in-depth look at the Clinton campaign emails (Huma's and the private server ones), as well as James Comey being in the crosshairs after the OIG preliminary report on or around January 15, 2018. The big one for me how President Trump highlighted Huma Abedin, she is by far the closest to Hillary Clinton, was the go-to for Clinton and those that wanted access to Clinton, and the one person in Clinton's life that most likely knows most of her dirty little secrets.

Israel strikes Hamas military compound in response to Gaza rocket fire

January 2, 2018 9:24am

JERUSALEM (JTA) — An Israeli airstrike hit a Hamas military compound in southern Gaza in response to a rocket fired hours earlier at southern Israel. The attack early Tuesday morning reportedly caused damage to the facility. It came hours after a rocket launched from Gaza landed in an open field in southern Israel. The Code Red alert siren did not go off since it was determined that the rocket was heading to an unpopulated area. A second rocket fired Monday evening reportedly landed inside of Gaza. The Israel Defense Forces said it was holding Hamas accountable for the Gaza strike even though a small terrorist group launched the rocket. Dozens of rockets and mortars have been fired from Gaza on southern Israel since President Donald Trump announced on Dec. 6 that the United States would recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel has struck at least 40 Hamas targets in Gaza in recent weeks. Netanyahu was responding to criticism from Labor Party head Avi Gabbay that the Israeli leader has failed to stop the rocket fire and for not taking stronger action against the strikes. On Tuesday, the IDF’s chief of staff, Gadi Eisenkot, criticized lawmakers who have said that the military is not taking strong enough action against Hamas in the face of the rocket attacks from Gaza. “These statements to respond with maximal force to rocket fire are irresponsible. It is not the right thing to do,” Eisenkot said during a speech at the Herzliya Interdisciplinary Center.

19,000-Pound Space Station Falling ‘Uncontrolled’ Back To Earth

January 2, 2018 at 3:49 pm

CBS Local — It’s pretty common for old satellites and other “space junk” to come falling back down to Earth. While hundreds of pieces of debris come down each year, scientists are nervously watching a 19,000-pound space station’s course because its out-of-control route is making it impossible to figure out where it will crash. The Chinese space lab, named Tiangong-1, is set to crash back down into the planet at some point in March. China reportedly lost control of the lab nearly two years ago in June of 2016. The Chinese government later released an estimate that predicted Tiangong-1 would come down at some point in late 2017. The vague guess has led experts to conclude that the country’s space agency has lost all ability to direct the crashing station’s course or know where it will land. “Even a couple of days before it re-enters we probably won’t know better than six or seven hours, plus or minus, when it’s going to come down,” Harvard astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell told The Guardian in 2016. “Not knowing when it’s going to come down translates as not knowing where its going to come down.” According to reports, there’s only a 1-in-10,000 chance that the massive space lab will actually crash into a populated area and damage buildings. While the odds are slim, scientists have only been able to narrow the crash zone down to between the 43° North and 43° South latitudes; an area that still includes parts of every inhabited continent on Earth.

Probe Uncovers "Laws Broken, False Statements" In FBI Handling of Clinton Emails

by Tyler Durden Wed, 01/03/2018 - 08:32

In what could be a major black eye for the deep state and yet another nail in the Clinton legacy coffin, The Hill's John Solomon reports that Republicans on key congressional committees say they have uncovered new irregularities and contradictions inside the FBI’s probe of Hillary Clinton’s email server. "This was an effort to pre-bake the cake, pre-bake the outcome,” said Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), a House Judiciary Committee member who attended the McCabe briefing before the holidays. “Hillary Clinton obviously benefited from people taking actions to ensure she wasn’t held accountable." In what appears to be clear evidence confirming previous fears of favoritism and prejudice within the FBI, lawmakers and investigators told Solomon at The Hill that, for the first time, investigators say they have secured written evidence that the FBI believed there was evidence that some laws were broken when the former secretary of State and her top aides transmitted classified information through her insecure private email server. That evidence includes passages in FBI documents stating the “sheer volume” of classified information that flowed through Clinton’s insecure emails was proof of criminality as well as an admission of false statements by one key witness in the case, the investigators said. The name of the witness is redacted from the FBI documents but lawmakers said he was an employee of a computer firm that helped maintain her personal server after she left office as America’s top diplomat and who belatedly admitted he had permanently erased an archive of her messages in 2015 after they had been subpoenaed by Congress. The investigators also confirmed that the FBI began drafting a statement exonerating Clinton of any crimes while evidence responsive to subpoenas was still outstanding and before agents had interviewed more than a dozen key witnesses. Those witnesses included Clinton and the computer firm employee who permanently erased her email archives just days after the emails were subpoenaed by Congress, the investigators said. Notably, lawmakers on the House Judiciary Committee who attended a Dec. 21 closed-door briefing by FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe say the bureau official confirmed that the investigation and charging decisions were controlled by a small group in Washington headquarters rather the normal process of allowing field offices to investigate possible criminality in their localities. The top Democrat on the panel even acknowledged the FBI’s handling of the case was unique, but, of course, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y) argued Republicans are politicizing their own panel’s work. Rep. Gaetz said he has growing questions about the role the Obama Justice Department played in the case. “I think we have more questions than answers based on what we’ve learned,” Gaetz said. A House GOP lawmaker told The Hill his staff also has identified at least a dozen interviews that were conducted after the drafting effort began, including of some figures who would have key information about intent or possible destruction of evidence.

A House GOP lawmaker told The Hill his staff also has identified at least a dozen interviews that were conducted after the drafting effort began, including of some figures who would have key information about intent or possible destruction of evidence. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley's (R-Iowa) staff has a higher number: 17 witnesses including Clinton were interviewed after the decision was already made. “Making a conclusion before you interview key fact witnesses and the subject herself violates the very premise of good investigation. You don't lock into a theory until you have the facts. Here the evidence that isn't public yet shows they locked into the theory and then edited out the facts that contradicted it,” the GOP lawmaker said, speaking only on condition of anonymity because the documents are not yet authorized for release. The longtime Senate chairman went to the Senate floor before the holidays to raise another concern: the FBI did not pursue criminal charges when Clinton’s email archives were permanently deleted from her private server days after a subpoena for them was issued by a congressional committee investigating the 2012 attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi. The deletion occurred on the same day Clinton’s former chief of staff and her lawyer had a call with the computer firm that handled the erasure using an anti-recovery software called BleachBit, Grassley said. “You have a conference call with Secretary Clinton’s attorneys on March 31, 2015, and on that very same day her emails are deleted by someone who was on that conference call using special BleachBit software,” Grassley said. “The emails were State Department records under subpoena by Congress.What did the FBI do to investigate this apparent obstruction?” Grassley asked. “According to affidavits filed in federal court — absolutely nothing. The FBI focused only on the handling of classified information.” As The Hill notes, both parties are likely to learn more in the first quarter of 2018 when the Justice Department inspector general is expected to release initial findings in what has become a wide-ranging probe into the FBI’s handling of the Clinton email case as well as whether agents and supervisors had political connections, ethical conflicts or biases that affected their work. While the resistance tries to switch the narrative to Papadopoulos, and away from Page and the Trump Dossier, it is becoming clearer and clearer where the real corruption was all the time.

'PA doesn't want to talk with Israel - why should we pay them?'

U.S. President says the PA receives hundreds of millions of dollars from the U.S. but shows it no respect and won't negotiate with Israel.

Elad Benari, 03/01/18 00:52

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the Palestinian Authority (PA) does not show the United States appreciation or respect, hinting that due to this fact, it does not deserve the large amounts of aid it received from the U.S. annually. “It's not only Pakistan that we pay billions of dollars to for nothing, but also many other countries, and others. As an example, we pay the Palestinians HUNDRED OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS a year and get no appreciation or respect. They don’t even want to negotiate a long overdue peace treaty with Israel,” he tweeted. “We have taken Jerusalem, the toughest part of the negotiation, off the table, but Israel, for that, would have had to pay more. But with the Palestinians no longer willing to talk peace, why should we make any of these massive future payments to them?” added Trump. It's not only Pakistan that we pay billions of dollars to for nothing, but also many other countries, and others. As an example, we pay the Palestinians HUNDRED OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS a year and get no appreciation or respect. They don’t even want to negotiate a long overdue...

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

...peace treaty with Israel. We have taken Jerusalem, the toughest part of the negotiation, off the table, but Israel, for that, would have had to pay more. But with the Palestinians no longer willing to talk peace, why should we make any of these massive future payments to them? His tweets came hours after the U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, warned that the PA risked losing the hundreds of millions of dollars in aid it receives from the United States if it continues to shun peace negotiations. "The president has said that he does not want to give any additional funding until the Palestinians agree to come back to the negotiating table," said Haley, adding that if negotiations do not resume, "the president is not going to continue to fund that situation." "The Palestinians now have to show their will that they want to come to the table. As of now they’re not coming to the table but they ask for aid. We’re not giving the aid. We’re going to make sure that they come to the table. And we want to move forward with the peace process,” Haley said. The PA has reacted angrily to Trump’s recent recognition of Israel as Jerusalem’s capital, with PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas announcing that he would not accept any U.S. peace plan. "The United States has proven to be a dishonest mediator in the peace process and we will no longer accept any plan from it," Abbas said at a press conference with French President Emmanuel Macron last month. On Sunday, Abbas recalled the PA envoy to Washington, Husam Zomlot, for “consultations” over Trump’s Jerusalem move. However, Zomlot returned to Washington just one day later.

Trump vs Terror

By Hal Lindsey

On May 22nd at 10:30 PM local time, an ISIS suicide bomber targeted a Manchester concert audience of mostly teen and pre-teen girls. A few hours later, two unlikely men stood together on a stage in the ancient city of Bethlehem. President Donald Trump of the United States and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas each gave a brief statement before taking questions from the press. “We would like to reassert our willingness,” Abbas said to Trump, “to continue to work with you as partners in fighting terrorism in our region and in the world.” It was the kind of thing Abbas has said to western audiences many times before, and especially to U.S. presidents. But in the past, no president ever publicly called him on it while standing next to him. Quietly, diplomatically — Trump did. Abbas claims to be America’s partner, fighting terrorism in the region. But his government rewards terrorism, terrorists, and the families of terrorists with money and honor. A Palestinian in the region can give financial security to his family by committing a terrorist act. The Abbas government will give his family what they call a “salary” while he remains in prison. That “salary” will be at least as much as the average Palestinian annual wage, and can be four times the average. U.S. taxpayers help fund such “salaries.” If the terrorist dies as a suicide bomber, Abbas and his comrades will not just give money to the family, they will name a town square (perhaps more than one) in the terrorist’s honor. In other words, if the Manchester attack had been perpetrated by Palestinians against Jews, Abbas would have praised the attack, honored the attacker, and given a salary to his family. Abbas does not fight terrorism. He rewards it. He has made “terrorist” a respectable occupation, and the quickest route to fame and glory among his people. He is an enabler and encourager of terrorism. When it was Trump’s turn to speak, he went back to the theme of his speech to Muslim leaders in Riyadh a couple of days earlier. “The terrorists and extremists, and those who give them aid and comfort, must be driven out from our society forever.” The phrase, “those who give them aid and comfort,” seemed to be a direct reference to the Palestinian policy of honoring and supporting terrorists and their families. Later, Trump said something that left no doubt about his concerns regarding the Abbas government. He said, “Peace can never take root in an environment where violence is tolerated, funded and even rewarded.” In a Jerusalem Post editorial, Adam Rasgon wrote, “The only problem with Trump’s request is that Abbas almost certainly cannot fulfill it as prisoners and ‘martyrs’ loom large in Palestinian society and the PA president’s popularity is declining.” He’s right. Abbas is too weak to stop paying terrorists’ families. If he did it, his countrymen would rise up in arms against him. That weakness is a problem because any peace agreement would require strong leadership on both sides. The Palestinian leader’s fragility makes a U.S.-brokered peace nearly impossible. Abbas is now in the 15th year of a 5-year term. That makes his leadership completely illegitimate. And the Palestinians know it. 64% now say he should resign. President Trump has been characteristically optimistic about the possibilities of peace. A few weeks ago, when he met Abbas at the White House, the President spoke of brokering a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians. “It is something that I think is frankly, maybe, not as difficult as people have thought over the years.” We will see. Real and lasting peace among nations will not arrive on earth until the return of Jesus. But that doesn’t mean we should stop working for peace. We will not be able to achieve ultimate peace, but we should follow the teaching of Jesus and be peacemakers where and when we can. In Matthew 5:9, the Lord said, “Blessed are the peacemakers.” He knew our limitations. He knew that humans working for peace would not end all war. But when we work out even a season of peace, it alleviates massive levels of suffering. Avoiding another intifada means saving hundreds or even thousands of lives on both sides. So, we should be peacemakers. But we should do so with humility. Some of the peace efforts of past Presidents have done great harm to both Israelis and Palestinians. They pushed Israel to do more than was fair, right, or safe. They inadvertently encouraged Palestinians to take a tough line. Some previous administrations gave Palestinians the false notion that they would gain more by waiting Israel out, than by honestly seeking peaceful coexistence. In Psalms 122:6, King David wrote, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.” We should work for peace here and now. But we should also remember that, ultimately, to “pray for the peace of Jerusalem,” means to pray for the return of Jesus.

US weighs halting funding to UNRWA until Palestinians talk peace with Israel

Days after US announces plans to cut $285 million from funds it provides to the United Nations 2018-2019 budget after General Assembly votes against Trump's Jerusalem declaration, Ambassador Nikki Haley relays message that he plans to pull plug on agency that assists Palestinians 'until they come back to the negotiating table.'

Itamar Eichner|Published: 02.01.18 , 22:44

The Trump administration is considering cutting funds to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency which dedicates vast resources toward tending to issues involving Palestinian refugees unless the Palestinians “return to the negotiating table,” the US ambassador to the UN announced on Tuesday. Speaking at a United Nations press conference, Nikki Haley relayed the message that President Trump wants to pull the plug on funding for the agency unless Palestinians sit down and discuss peace with Israel. “The president has basically said that he doesn’t want to give any additional funding ... or stop funding, until the Palestinians are agreeing to come back to the negotiating table,” Haley said. “And what we saw with the resolution was not helpful to the situation. We’re trying to move for a peace process, but if that doesn’t happen, the president’s not going to continue to fund that situation.” The announcement comes just a few days after the US announced that it is planning to cut $285 million from funds it provides to the United Nations 2018-2019 budget, implementing a threat made by Trump that financial repercussions would follow if the body’s General Assembly voted in favor of a resolution demanding that Washington retract its decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. The US is the largest financial contributor to UNRWA, pumping into its coffers each year $200 million. In 2016, the US gave it $368,429,712. With Trump’s entrance into the White House, many on the Right in Israel hoped he would decide to starve the agency of its main financial source, with critics arguing that it perpetuates the Palestinian refugee problem by grossly inflating the number on bonafide refugees. The agency includes descendants of Palestinian refugees from the 1948 War of Independence, thereby granting refugee status to Palestinians according to a criteria that is not adhered to in any other refugee question. In addition, Israel has lamented the fact that UNRWA-run educational institutions have in the past allowed incitement against Israel and that their schools have served as launchpads in Gaza for rockets fired at the country. In July last year, for example, the agency said it was investigating after finding 20 rockets hidden in one of its vacant schools in the Gaza Strip. In June, UNRWA said it had protested over the finding of a Hamas terror tunnel, which in a 2014 war had used a network of cross-border tunnels to launch attacks inside Israel. Last October, UNRWA discovered a Hamas attack tunnel underneath one of its schools in Gaza.

2017 In The Mirror

By Hal Lindsey

The old year ends, and a new one beckons — fresh, untainted, and full of promise. As the new year begins, people around the world tend to look in a rearview mirror. What happened last year? What did I achieve? What did I leave undone? How well did I spend the days, hours, and minutes during the earth’s most recent orbit of the sun? We often speak of stewardship in terms of money, but everything we have belongs to God. That includes physical, spiritual, and moral strength. It includes intelligence and imagination. We should see ourselves as stewards of everything God has entrusted to us. That includes time. So, when we look at 2017 in the rearview mirror, how did we do? According to the United States Department of Labor, here’s what the average American, 20 or older, did with last year. He or she spent: 146 days in personal care (mostly sleep). 18 days eating and drinking. 29 days on household activities. 12 days purchasing goods and services. 7 days caring for and helping household members. 3 days caring for and helping non-household members. 53 days on working and work-related activities. 3 days on educational activities (skewed a little high because many in their early twenties are still in school). 5 days on civic and religious activities. 82 days on leisure and sports. 2 days on telephone calls, mail, and email. 4 days on other things. For me, that list includes several surprises. The big one is that we average 53 days working, and 82 days of leisure. Don’t get me wrong. Leisure can be important. We are to be good stewards of health as well as time. We strengthen our bodies, minds, and spirits with wholesome activities that come under the label “leisure.” But Americans average 82 days a year on leisure. That amounts to 37% of our waking hours. Work gets only 24%, and a combination of religious and civic activities total only 2%. We’re all different, and those are just averages. But they should make us think. God entrusted 2017 — a whole year — to each of us. What did we do with it? If we didn’t use it as well as we should have, we need to ask, “Why not?” Maybe we need more than a rearview mirror. Instead of looking backward, maybe we need to change the mirror’s angle so that we look directly into it… at ourselves. A Marist Poll found that the most common New Year’s resolution for 2018 is “to be a better person.” The same resolution also topped last year’s poll. We want to be better than we are. No one lives up to even his or her own standard of right and wrong, much less God’s. The Bible says, “There is none righteous, not even one.” (Romans 3:10 NASB) That is the plight of humanity. We look in the mirror, and see a sinner. We resolve to do better and be better. And while we sometimes keep resolutions, we continue to sin. We continue to break God’s standards of right and wrong, as well as our own. In the latter part of Romans 7, we read the earnest heart cry of a man fighting his sin nature. Among other things, he says, “I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate…. The good that I wish, I do not do; but I practice the very evil that I do not wish…. Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death?” (Romans 7:15, 19, 24 NASB) We’ve all experienced such despair. But God provides a way to escape sin’s bondage. Romans 7:24 ask, “Who will set me free from the body of this death?” Romans 7:25 answers, “Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!” Jesus sets us free! The verse after that says, “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” (Romans 8:1 NASB) We who are in Christ are no longer under condemnation, because Jesus received our condemnation on the cross. He paid the price. In Christ, we stand perfect before God. But there’s a problem. We are positionally perfect in Christ, but we still struggle with sin. How do we gain victory over it? First, understand that sin’s power to operate in the life of the Christian has been neutralized by our being united with Christ in His death. Sin is no longer your boss. Romans 6 says, “Our old self was crucified with Him, that our body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin; for he who has died is freed from sin…. So consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body that you should obey its lusts…. For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law, but under grace.” (Romans 6: 6, 7, 11, 12, 14 NASB) God has already broken sin’s power over you. Believe it! Faith in this truth sets the Holy Spirit free to make victory a reality in your day-to-day experience. You can’t lift yourself out of sin, but the Holy Spirit can. As the old song says, He will lift you out of sin’s miry clay, and set your feet on the Rock to stay. Those in Christ Jesus can be “confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 1:6 NASB) May 2018 be a blessed and glorious year in Christ for you and all your loved ones!

11 dead from cold as East Coast braces for winter 'bomb cyclone'

Posted: Jan. 3, 2018 1:50 AM Updated: Jan. 3, 2018 8:24 AM

A massive "bombogenesis" will wreak havoc on the Northeast this week, threatening hurricane-force winds in a region already crippled by deadly cold. The bombogenesis -- an area of low pressure that drops significantly in 24 hours -- will result in what's known as a "bomb cyclone." And the bomb cyclone, expected to strike Thursday, will likely dump 6 to 12 inches of snow in New England, which will be driven by 40- to 60-mph wind gusts. But it's not just New England suffering winter's wrath. Freezing rain, sleet and snow will smother parts of the Southeast on Wednesday. It could be the first time in years that some parts of the Southeast have snow. Tallahassee, Florida, is expecting up to an inch of snow and ice Wednesday, but the city has not had measurable snowfall since 1989, said CNN meteorologist Michael Guy. Track severe weather across the country here Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal issued a state of emergency Tuesday for 28 coastal counties ahead of the storm. Authorities are urging people to stay home as millions in the eastern half of the US face below- and near-freezing temperatures Wednesday. Many schools canceled classes and government offices closed across the Florida Panhandle and along the entire east coast shoreline. Track the snow's path here. Florida, southern Georgia and the coastal Carolinas will get a few inches of snow plus some ice before the storm turns into a monster storm, dropping heavy snowfall along the Mid-Atlantic coast and into the Northeast, forecasters say. Deadly freeze At least 11 people in the US have died since Tuesday morning in cold-related deaths, officials said. A 27-year-old woman was found dead on the shore of Lake Winnebago after she left a New Year's Eve gathering in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Authorities said Lindsey Klima stepped outside to smoke a cigarette and could have fallen at the shoreline before she succumbed to the cold, CNN affiliate WLUK reported. Klima's death is among five weather-related deaths in Wisconsin. Two other people have died in North Dakota and Missouri. Four others have died in Texas, including two homeless people who died in Houston after being exposed to freezing conditions, Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo tweeted. The Southeast The frigid temperatures led to temporary closures at water parks in Florida and prompted authorities to open dozens of emergency shelters. In Pensacola, the weather turned fountains into ice sculptures and froze the top of an above-ground pool. "My newest daughter started to cry saying that their pool was gone!" Alex Vieira told CNN. Florida Department of Agriculture spokesman Aaron Keller said the cold weather could be endangering crops such as citrus, peppers and strawberries. "The further south you go, the less cold tolerant the crops get," Keller said. "If the cold weather predictions go below Orlando, it could be a problem." Forecasters warned about possible snow on the beach and high winds that could knock down power lines and palm trees coated in ice and snow, the NWS Charleston office said. Single-digit temps in the Northeast So far, New York City has not gotten above freezing since Christmas Day. And the weather is going to be even more miserable in the next few days. The bombogenesis will help usher in another round of blustery single-digit temperatures to the Northeast. UK hit by cyclone, Canada is below zero The US isn't alone in its winter misery. Hurricane-force winds of Storm Eleanor are battering the western shores of the United Kingdom and Ireland. The UK's weather service, the Met Office, says the storm is expected to bring gusts of up to 90 mph to parts of the UK on Wednesday. Homes and businesses were damaged by flooding and 55,000 customers lost electricity, ESB Networks, the main power utility in Ireland said in a statement. Canada is also getting the brutal cold air. Temperatures and wind chills have been well below zero, and there are warnings in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick for snow and wind due to the Nor'easter that is moving up the US East Coast. The frigid temperature at the Calgary Zoo in Canada was too brutal for even the king penguins, a subantarctic species that usually strut their stuff outside this time of the year. Zoo employees brought the penguins inside Monday when the temperature dropped to minus 13 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 25 degrees Celsius), according to Dr. Malu Celli, Calgary Zoo's curator. It's not that the animals didn't like the cold. "If I opened the doors, they would come out," Celli said. "They enjoy being out, but we just like to look out for their welfare."
